Hospital, ACC see new trails

By VICKIE MOSS The Iola Register

A series of trails around Allen Community College and Allen County Regional Hospital are planned to improve the health of local residents and employees.

Thrive Allen County is working to build the trails around the college and hospital, and eventually connect them to each other and to the larger Prairie Spirit Trail nearby.

Jessica Thompson, Thrive’s deputy director, recently gave hospital board members an update on the project. She had received tentative approval of a $165,000 grant to construct a trail on the hospital campus and was awaiting official confirmation.

Thrive recently used a similar grant to build a See TRAIL | Page A3

Our Market opens today

By TREVOR HOAG The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — The wait is over.

Our Market grocery store in Humboldt opens today.

Proprietor Amy Welch was hard at work on final touches Wednesday afternoon, and described herself as “feeling all the emotions.”

“Excited, nervous, scared. ... I don’t know whether I’m supposed to cry, laugh or crawl in a hole,” she grimaced/ grinned.

Welch and her husband, Scotty, have even gone so far as to camp out at her parents’ house in Humboldt during the final push.

“We’re just open to knowing it’s not going to be perfect, with hiccups all over the place,” she said.

“It’s going to be late nights and early mornings.”

“We’re finishing stocking the coolers right now,” Welch noted, “with our front-end system, pricing, stuff like that,” still to go.

TODAY’S DEBUT is a “soft” opening, with an official grand opening scheduled for July 10.

For many, it’s been a long wait.

It’s been since March 2019 that Humboldt’s Moon’s Hometown Market closed.

Welch said many in the community have already visited the store.

Proprietor Amy Welch, left, and clerk Skyler Morris share a light moment while preparing for today’s opening of Our Market grocery store in Humboldt. REGISTER/TREVOR HOAG “They’re super-excited.

And we’re super-excited that they’re excited,” she said.

Indeed, the preparation has taken a village.

“We’ve had a lot of people in here working, a lot of hands,” Welch said, including “random community members,” and others content to receive their payment in the form of meat from the butcher shop.

COVID’s lingering effects can put the brakes on surgeries

By MICHELLE ANDREWS Kaiser Health News (TNS)

The week before Brian Colvin was scheduled for shoulder surgery in November, he tested positive for COVID-19.

What he thought at first was a head cold had morphed into shortness of breath and chest congestion coupled with profound fatigue and loss of balance.

Now, seven months have passed and Colvin, 44, is still waiting to feel well enough for surgery. His surgeon is concerned about risking anesthesia with his ongoing respiratory problems, while Colvin worries he’ll lose his balance and fall on his shoulder before it heals.

“When I last spoke with the surgeon, he said to let him know when I’m ready,” Colvin

said. “But with all the symptoms, I’ve never felt ready for surgery.”

As the number of people who have had COVID-19 grows, medical experts are trying to determine when it’s safe for them to have elective surgery. In addition to concerns about respiratory complications from anesthesia, COVID-19 may affect multiple organs and systems, and cli-

nicians are still learning the implications for surgery.

A recent study compared the mortality rate in the 30 days following surgery in patients who had a COVID-19 infection and in those who did not. It found that waiting to undergo surgery for at least seven weeks after a COVID-19 infection reduced the risk of death to that of people who See COVID | Page A6

Kelly resists GOP efforts to debate border security

By JOHN HANNA The Associated Press

Intersection collision A Ford Edge driven by Braden Autry, age 17, was reported to have driven through a stop sign at a high rate of speed, headed south on Walnut Street, and collided with a Ford Escape driven by Amber Gray, 29, who was westbound on Broadway at about 12:38 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Iola Police Department. Gray’s vehicle then struck a gas meter. Gray was treated for possible injury; she had two passengers, ages 9 and 12. Autry was cited for reckless driving, speeding and failure to yield.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Republicans are trying to pull Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly into a national debate over border security as the GOP works to undercut her standing with voters ahead of her re-election bid next year.

Republican U.S. Rep. Ron Estes, who represents south-central Kansas, publicly urged Kelly on Wednesday to send law-enforcement resources to Arizona and Texas to help them with security along the border with Mexico. His call came the

same day former President Donald Trump visited the border to assail President Joe Biden’s immigration policies.

Estes and the state’s other two Republican congressmen, Jake LaTurner and Tracey Mann, sent Kelly a letter last week, pushing her to share resources with Arizona and Texas. Earlier this month, the Kansas Republican Party criticized Kelly for being “silent” on border security.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded more than 180,000 encounters on the Mexican borSee KELLY | Page A3

Escapee at large from psych ward

Hotter nights mean worse harvests

By SHERMAN SMITH Kansas News Service

MANHATTAN, Kansas — Climate change conjures notions of rising water levels along the coasts, severe drought in the Intermountain West and the record temperatures baking the Pacific Northwest this week.

Add to that toasty Kansas evenings.

New research from Kansas State University shows that rising overnight temperatures hurt wheat harvests.

Rice, corn and barley all face similar problems.

While researchers also look into finding more resilient varieties of those crops to account for the change, the immediate climate trends could have a dramatic impact.

In trials of some of the most popular varieties of wheat grown in Kansas, K-State and North Carolina State University researchers found that an increase of only 1 degree Celsius in overnight temperatures caused a 5% reduction in wheat yield.

“Most people think plants aren’t dynamic, but they are,” said Colleen Doherty, an associate professor of biochemistry at North Carolina State Univer-

TOPEKA — State authorities are searching for a man who escaped custody Wednesday from a sexual predator program at the state psychiatric facility in Larned.

Surveillance video shows John Colt, 42, at 7 a.m. walked away from Larned State Hospital after shaving his beard, changing his hair and using a fraudulent ID badge to get through security. He then hitched a ride to the Kwik Shop in Larned, where he was seen walking north.

“My leadership team at Larned is working closely with local law enforcement to ensure this resident is apprehended quickly and without incident,” said Laura Howard, secretary of the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services. “I am in constant contact with the superintendent at Larned and am actively monitoring the situation.”

The Pawnee County sheriff notified area farmers of Colt’s escape. The Kansas Highway Patrol and Kansas Bureau of Investigation are involved with the search.

Colt is 5-foot-6, 201 pounds, and has a tattoo on his upper left arm with the initials BH. He was last seen wearing a face mask, dress pants and a dress shirt.

It wasn’t immediately clear why Colt was enrolled in the Sexual Predator Treatment Program at the state hospital.

Kansas Department of Corrections online records show he was convicted in 2001 in Shawnee County of aggravated sexual battery. His record also includes felony convictions between 1997 and 2014 in Shawnee, Pawnee and Leavenworth counties for aggravated burglary, criminal damage to property, interference with parental custody, and forgery.

He was released from prison in 2016.

Racial disparities plague foster system

By TIM CARPENTER Kansas Reflector

TOPEKA — A new report by state auditors confirmed overrepresentation of Black children in Kansas foster care and that Black and American Indian children in the system were less likely than white children to be reunified with their parents.

Auditors told Kansas legislators Tuesday that Black individuals represented 6% of the state’s population in 2019, but accounted for 12% of the children in foster care.

White people made up 86% of the state population, but only 78% of kids in foster care.

Josh Luthi, an auditor working for the legislative auditing division, told a joint House and Senate committee higher levels of poverty and greater involvement in social service programs among Black families could lead to more exposure to people required by law to report suspected child abuse or neglect. Another possibility is racial bias leads people to more aggressively raise potential problems in Black families, the audit said.

“We were already working on some of these things, in particular the race issue and disproportionality,” said Melinda Kline, deputy director of permanency at the Kansas Department for Children and Families.

DCF has responsibility for the 6,500 children in foster care. The agency employs private contractors — Cornerstones of Care, KVC Kansas, Saint Francis Ministries and TFI — to provide services to foster care families.

“TFI supports the concerns about racial disparities as outlined in the written audit,” said Ashley Marple, vice president of performance and risk management at TFI. In Kansas, district courts decide whether a child should be declared

in need of care and placed in foster care under custody of DCF. The assumed preference is for children in foster care to be eventually reunited with parents. Some children end up adopted or under care of someone assuming guardianship rights.

Another portion of foster children reach emancipation age, run away or die, and transfer to control of the state Department of Corrections or tribal courts.

Auditors weighed whether remedial tasks written into foster-care plans to inspire reunification of families appeared reasonable and relevant.

This question involved review of case files for 48 foster children from fiscal years 2016 to 2020.

The selection of cases was nonrandom, which meant findings of auditors couldn’t be projected to the thousands of foster care cases existing during that period of time.

DCF foster care staff review case plans for compliance with DCF policies and federal rules, but don’t check whether tasks related to reunification were reasonable and relevant.

Auditors took into consideration 670 tasks required of parents or guardians attempting to be reunited with their children. The analysis determined 10%, or about 70, were unreasonable because they had no application to conditions associated with the children in foster care.

“If you go too far in assigning parents tasks,” said Luthi, the state auditor, “you might place an undue burden on them and either limit or make it impossible for them to reunify with their kids.

If you don’t go far enough with assignment parents tasks, then you might end up reintegrating a child into a home that isn’t safe or in a position where they’re going to re-enter the foster care system.”

sity. “Plants are constantly regulating their biological processes — gearing up for photosynthesis just before dawn, winding that down in the late afternoon, determining precisely how and where to burn their energy resources.”

She said their experiments showed that hotter overnight temperatures confuse the plant’s internal clock.

With a screwed up clock, the plant has a harder time turning the sugars produced during photosynthesis in the day into plant growth.

“The amount of wheat that you’ll get will go down, but also the quality of wheat will go down,” said K-State crop physiologist Krishna Jagadish.

“So your bread probably may start to taste a little bit different in the future.”

Average summer nighttime temperatures have been increasing across the state. Since 1970, the average low in the Wichita area has increased 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit. In Topeka, it increased 3.5 degrees.

At the same time, the average summer high temperature only increased 1.4 degrees in Wichita and 2.8 degrees in Topeka.

New research from K-State says that ‘toasty’ Kansas evenings caused by climate change will result in poorer yields and other agricultural issues. (PIXABAY PHOTO.)

Jagadish said it’s harder for people to notice these changes when the average temperature is increasing more during the night than it is in the day. But researchers, like him, are beginning to look more into the issue and to provide information that reveals the true extent of the dangers.

Rising overnight temperatures aren’t the only negative impacts from climate change that Kansans can expect to experience. Assistant state climatologist Mary Knapp says we’re already seeing changes in precipitation patterns.

“We’re getting more rain, but it may not be distributed as evenly

as needed,” she said.

That means some places are going from very dry to getting the expected monthly rain total in a single day.

That won’t show up in long-term averages, but has real consequences.

“You’ve got more of it running off,” she said. “You’ve got more erosion issues and you’ve got more flooding issues.”

Knapp also said Kansas winters are getting milder. She said the state will still experience its typical spring freezes in March and April, but milder Decembers and Januarys will confuse trees and plants, making them less resilient to those freezes.

Pets need TLC amid fireworks Ask the Vets The Columbus Dispatch TNS Q: My dog is frightened by fireworks. How can I help him?

A: Great question and this is very common. It’s certainly best to know when fireworks are to be expected so that you can make preparations if possible. If you can leave town for a quieter setting, that would be fantastic. But because fireworks are mostly ubiquitous this time of year, it’s going to be tough to avoid, so try to insulate your dog from the sights and sounds.

Use your basement or an internal room of your house. Play the radio or turn the television up loudly to help mask the sounds. Close windows, doors and blinds to reduce the visual clues and sounds of the fireworks.

It’s best to stay with your dog if possible.

Dogs are social creatures and your presence is comforting. Dogs will respond to situations that are potentially scary to them by watching their owners actions and emotions. Be calm, supportive, and snug-

You can give treats or play games to distract them as well. It’s also good for you to be present to ensure that they do not injure themselves if they were to panic. More dogs escape home during the Fourth of July than any other time of the year, so make sure that all doors and gates are secure.

Also, make sure your dog is microchipped in case of an escape during a panic.

We have some success with Thundershirts or Anxiety Wraps. These are snug-fitting vests that squeeze and apply pressure over the body that many dogs find comforting. Your veterinarian might recommend a pheromone product that comes as a

collar, room diffuser or spray. That pheromone is appeasing to dogs and helps reduce anxiety.

We also now have an FDA approved medication that is labeled and advertised to reduce noise aversions. It inhibits anxiety by blocking the release of norepinephrine. We have been using this medication more and more with great results. It would be a good idea to talk to your veterinarian about a comprehensive “fireworks” plan.

House OKs Jan. 6 investigation WASHINGTON (AP) — Sharply split along party lines, the House launched a new investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection on Wednesday, approving a special committee to probe the violent attack as police officers who were injured fighting Donald Trump’s supporters watched from the gallery above.

The vote to form the panel was 222-190, with all but two Republicans objecting that majority Democrats would be in charge. The action came after Senate Republicans blocked creation of an independent commission that would have been evenly split between the two parties.

Ahead of the vote, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told lawmakers in the chamber, “We will be judged by future generations as to how we value our democracy.” She said she preferred that an independent panel lead the inquiry but Congress could wait no longer to begin a deeper look at the insurrection that was the worst attack on the Capitol in more than 200 years.

As the vote was called, Pelosi stood in the House gallery with several police officers who fought the rioters

(KENT NISHIMURA/LOS ANGELES TIMES/TNS) and with the family of an officer who died, hugging several of them. One of the officers, Michael Fanone of Washington’s Metropolitan Police, said he was angry at Republicans for voting against an investigation after he almost lost his life to protect them.

“I try not to take these things personally, but it’s very personal for me,” Fanone said.

Tensions in Congress have only worsened since the January day that Trump’s supporters laid siege, hunted for lawmakers and temporarily halted the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory. A brief sense of shared outrage has given way to partisan sniping and attempts among some Republicans to

Trump executive surrenders to authorities

By MICHAEL R, SISAK Associated Press

The Trump Organization’s longtime chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, surrendered to authorities early today ahead of an expected court appearance on the first criminal indictment in a two-year investigation into business practices at Donald Trump’s company.

Weisselberg walked into the complex that houses criminal courts and the Manhattan district attorney’s office at around 6:20 a.m. with

his lawyer.

New York prosecutors were expected to

announce an indictment today accusing Weisselberg and Trump’s namesake company of tax crimes related to fringe benefits for employees.

The case against Weisselberg — a loyal lieutenant to Trump and his real estate-developer father, Fred — could give prosecutors the means to pressure the executive into cooperating and telling them what he knows about Trump’s business dealings.

The Trump Organization issued a statement defending Weisselberg,

trail around the ACC campus.

The hospital trail will create a loop on the west side of the campus, roughly following an existing path used for “Walk With a Doc” events in previous years. It will have a limestone screening.

“The first phase is a walking trail,” Thompson said. “Eventually, it could become a healing garden and could include flowers and

benches.”

The grant, from the Kansas Health Forward Foundation, is aimed at improving health. Hospital employees and patients could benefit from the trail, Thompson said. It could be used in a rehabilitation program, or for community events aimed at improving health, such as the Walk With a Doc program or Walk Kansas.

“We hope these trails will reach a new population that doesn’t cur-

rently have access to trails,” Thompson said.

If the grant receives final approval, construction would likely begin in the fall or possibly early next spring. Thompson said trail-building is best done at certain times of the year.

Thompson also said she would like to work more closely with the hospital facilities board and St. Luke’s Health System to find other health-related grants.

Most Republicans have made clear they want to move on from the insurrection — and former President Trump’s role — though many of them had fled the violent mob themselves.

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, who lost her position in GOP leadership because of her criticism of Trump, was one of only two Republicans to vote for the panel. She declared, “Our nation, and the families of the brave law enforcement officers who were injured defending us or died following the attack, deserve answers.”

The panel will be led

The charges against the Trump Organization and Weisselberg remained sealed but were to be unveiled ahead of an afternoon arraignment at a state court in Manhattan.

Kelly responded by urging the three congressmen to “get to work” on passing comprehensive immigration reforms instead of resorting to “politi-

cal games.”

In Kelly’s 2018 race for governor, Republican Kris Kobach made fighting illegal immigration a key issue.

But Kobach lost after alienating moderate GOP and independent voters.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

I would like to shed a little light on the topic of the Topeka Correction Facility’s inmate work program happening in our community.

Prison work programs might, on the surface, bring “opportunities for rehabilitation” and “provide inmates with outside activities” but unfortunately they represent a bandaid meant to cover a much larger issue’s wound.

As you may have guessed, work programs are made available to inmates that have been deemed safe and functional to be outside the prison compounds — so non-violent. As you should also know, many people are in prison for petty crimes, drug addictions, and false accusations. Generally these are the same people who are being let out for work programs.

So my question to society is this; if those people are deemed safe enough, functional enough, and worthy enough to step outside the thick walls we’ve placed around them — just to go to work every day — why are they even in there? What is the purpose of depriving a human of their humanity?

The article quoted [Lisa] Pereira stating that her social skills were a nervous topic for her. [Jan] Vicory speaks about spending time “getting humanity back.”

As a family member of a current KDOC (Kansas Department of Corrections) inmate, I am saddened to know that our community is wearing that bandaid right over our eyes by contributing to the problem.

I know that some, possibly many, inmates enjoy the outings. For those it’s the silver lining to their very dark cloud. But of course it is! In their circumstances they have no other options.

I have no objections to consequences within our society. But spending five years away from your children, your family, and society as a whole because you have an addiction? Who does that really help?

By the end of their sentences our loved ones come home to us as different people. We need change to the system. We can’t get that overnight. What we can do is prevent our community from being a part of the problem.

Having people work for lower wages because their circumstance leaves them with no other options — is forcing them. Forcing people to work for you and restricting their freedoms — is slavery.

I implore people to do their research into the Prison Work Programs. Not just within Kansas, but our nation as a whole. Knowledge is key.

— Kristin Wright, Iola, Kan,

Seattle sizzles under a ‘heat dome’ The record-breaking heat wave baking the West Coast is another painful sign that climate change is here, and we have to adapt.

The Pacific Northwest has been sizzling, with conditions forecasters have described as unprecedented and life-threatening. Portland, Ore., hit 113 degrees Monday, breaking the previous all-time high of 112 degrees, set Sunday. About 100 miles to the south, in Eugene, the U.S. track and field Olympic trials were halted Sunday afternoon, and spectators were asked to evacuate the stadium, due to the extreme heat.

Seattle hit 107 degrees, also a record high. ... And further north, the town of Lytton in British Columbia hit 116 degrees Sunday, the highest temperature ever recorded in Canada.

All of this is happening in June — the very beginning of summer.

If it wasn’t already clear that climate change is fueling more extreme weather patterns, this unprecedented heat wave is another blistering example. There is surely more to come, as the heat dome responsible for the record-breaking temperatures is expected to linger in the Northwest, moving slowly toward Idaho and Montana.

Yet in a sense, the furnace-like conditions are just a replay of last year, which tied 2016 for the hottest year on record.

Not coincidentally, 2020 was also the worst year on record for wildfires,

The Seattle skyline with Mount Rainier in the background. (DONALD MIRALLE/ GETTY IMAGES FOR ROCK'N'ROLL MARATHON/TNS)

with more than 10 million acres burned. And this trend is bound to continue as temperatures are driven upward by the warming effects of human activities that spew carbon and other heat-trapping compounds into the atmosphere.

The current heat wave is another visceral reminder that the world is not moving fast enough to curtail the use of fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions. To prevent the worst effects of climate change will take dramatic change on the part of the world’s industrialized nations, most especially the United States.

But, alas, it’s not enough to focus on weaning ourselves from carbon fuels. As this heat wave demonstrates, we are already feeling the effects of climate change, and we are woefully unprepared.

Just think about

how higher-than-normal temperatures in the Pacific Northwest have crippled basic infrastructure. In Washington, the state patrol closed a portion of a highway after the asphalt started to crack and buckle under the heat.

Many of the country’s roads, transit systems, dams, levees and energy grids were built decades ago, designed for different temperatures and less-extreme weather fluctuations.

A record-breaking heat wave in California last summer triggered rolling blackouts; heat-driven outages will be a risk this year, too. A record-breaking cold snap in Texas earlier this year also led to mass power outages. The nation’s infrastructure is not prepared to withstand the onslaught of climate change, which can push temperatures to extremes in both directions.

U.S. lawmakers are beginning to act on the seriousness of the threat. The $1.2-trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill includes funding to modernize energy, transportation and water systems. The bill also includes $47 billion specifically for projects aimed at making our infrastructure more resilient to climate change. But the compromise package has, so far, shortchanged investments in clean energy, clean transportation and large-scale climate-proofing.

The need is great, and the funding is still too little. The reality is that climate change will cost the United States, no matter how quickly it responds. We can pay now to avoid greater damage or pay later, when the nation is forced to manage more deadly heat waves, wildfires, floods and other disasters.

US political dysfunction emboldens China In the coming days, the United States and China will be celebrating two big birthdays, light-years apart in their message.

On July 1, Beijing will put on a massive celebration to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at a secret 1921 meeting in Shanghai.

“Follow the Party Forever” is now the CCP’s slogan, as President (for life) Xi Jinping touts China’s swift rise from poverty to great power status.

News media and movies are filled with coverage of China’s triumphs, while anyone who dissents is silenced. Xi has made clear he now sees China as equal to a declining United States.

Meantime, on July 4, the United States will celebrate the 245th birthday of the Declaration of Independence with parties and parades, as the country emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic. “America is back” is the slogan of President Joe Biden, who was chosen in a free and fair election.

Biden is committed to reviving America’s crumbling infrastructure, health care, and, most critically, our dwindling lead in the cutting edge technologies that will define the 21st century, which has back footed the country in competition with China.

Chinese leaders make clear they believe the United States is in decline, beset by a paralyzed government and internal divisions, while their

Trudy Rubin Philadelphia Inquirer centralized government puts them in position to surge past their American rival.

“The United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength,” China’s top diplomat Yang Jiechi told Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Alaska in March.

These two commemorations, coming so close together, highlight what’s needed for Biden to prove Yang wrong.

In China, Xi will use the celebrations to celebrate the CCP as overseer of everything from private companies to universities, and beyond.

On my last trip to China, in November 2019, Western — and Chinese — businessmen complained party officials were playing a more active role on corporate boards, in contrast to the more open China before Xi took power in 2013. Party officials now also set the tone at universities (where professors must now study Xi Jinping thought).

“Party control permeates every aspect of life,” Wu Qiang, a former professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing and prominent party critic, told the Financial Times. “As a result, there are no checks and balances. ...

A man holds a baby as he walks past a sign about the upcoming celebrations of the centenary of the Communist Party of China, on Tuesday in Beijing. (ANDREA VERDELLI/GETTY IMAGES/TNS) Small mistakes can develop into huge mistakes and endanger the party.”

Of course, this centralization has its rewards. China crushed the pandemic by draconian means, with only 5,000 deaths (if you believe Chinese government figures). The Chinese economy has surged back (despite U.S. sanctions).

And China is pouring money into new technologies in order to surpass U.S. efforts and circumvent U.S. economic decoupling.

But tightening party control can also slow economic growth. “Local officials used to have more initiative to innovate, to take risks for economic development,” as Tsinghua professor Wu also warned. “Now they follow higher level officials. The effect of all this is the same: there is no self-correction mechanism in the system.”

And it was probably fear

of angering party higher ups that prevented Wuhan officials from reporting initial cases of COVID-19, thus permitting a global pandemic to emerge, whose origins are still opaque as Beijing continues to suppress information.

In other words, in his efforts to emulate (or surpass) Mao Zedong, Xi’s tight controls may actually harm China’s internal progress (and that’s apart from the global consequences of his aggressive political and military moves abroad).

Which brings us to July Fourth in America. There is much to celebrate, but the social and political divides that makes Chinese leaders sneer are still all too real.

Former President Donald Trump is still promoting the Big Lie that the 2020 election was “stolen.” His GOP party refuses to challenge him as he undermines the most crit-

ical tenet of democracy — belief in free and fair elections.

Republicans try to suppress voting that would favor Democrats, in many states.

This zero-sum politics (sometimes exacerbated by Democratic progressives, whose actions pale next to the GOP’s all-out warfare) plays right into China’s hands.

Chinese officials claim democracy can’t compete with authoritarian power. It is crucial to prove them wrong, starting with bipartisan legislation on infrastructure, and on technology (the House must pass the bipartisan bill to counter the China tech threat that the Senate passed earlier this month).

Yet rebuilding America will be insufficient if Americans lose faith in their basic institutions. Polls show that a majority of Republicans still falsely believe the (fair and secure) 2020 election was stolen. That is because their leaders lie or stay silent.

On July Fourth, GOP legislators who know the truth about the 2020 elections and the Jan. 6 insurrection should consider whether their tolerance of the Big Lie is harming the country — and aiding China.

“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,” says the Declaration of Independence.

The United States can’t compete with Beijing if one of its major parties undermines the basis on which our republic stands.

“They’ve all been super-supportive, nice, encouraging,” she said of the community. “And nobody’s been negative about how long it’s taken or needing to push things back.”

Support has come in many forms.

For instance, “one of the churches came in and prayed for the building,” Welch noted.

“Our family and friends support us a ton, too. I had a friend that hired a cleaner to come and clean my house for a day.”

“This town just does a great job of supporting its own,” Welch observed. “It’ll be great because we have great people here.”

“With so much going on in Humboldt, this is just another good part to be added.”

Her husband, Sam, works full-time in the store’s butcher shop.

(Their kids are Lane and Ella.)

“Seeing the progress just floors me, and the work everyone has done to get there,” Willard said.

“Each time I come in, something is different

and we’re one step closer.”

Willard once worked at Dillons in Pittsburg, and so found herself being able to help out in unexpected ways.

“I’ve learned a lot and also taught [the Welches and others] some things I learned while at Dillons, so it’s been really good,” she said.

“I had no idea my time there would come in handy, eight years later.”

Bridge key to delivering aid destroyed NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A bridge that’s crucial to delivering desperately needed food to much of Ethiopia’s Tigray region has been destroyed, an aid group said Thursday, as Tigray fighters were said to be approaching other combatants occupying large areas nearby.

The destruction of the bridge over the Tekeze River “means aid efforts will be even more severely hampered than before,” the International Rescue Committee said in a statement.

It was not immediately clear who destroyed the bridge on a main supply route linking western Tigray, which is occupied by forces from the neighboring Amhara region, and the rest of Tigray.

The Tigray forces, emboldened after retaking the regional capital this week in a stunning turn in the eight-month war with Ethiopia’s military, have taken control of key towns this week, and several thousand fighters had been seen to be moving west.

The spokesman for the Tigray forces this week told The Associated Press they would “liberate” the region from “enemies” including the Ethiopian forces, Amhara forces and soldiers from neighboring Eritrea.

Ethiopia’s government, under pressure from battlefield losses amid some of the fiercest fighting of the war, this week declared an immediate and unilateral cease-fire. While

witnesses have seen Eritrean forces retreating toward the border Eritrea shares with Tigray, Amhara authorities have warned the Tigray forces against trying to retake western areas.

As Tigray faces the worst famine crisis in a decade, humanitarian aid groups are still badly constrained, with electricity and communications links still cut in the Tigray region and main supply routes blocked.

In one case, a 29-truck convoy carrying World Food Program aid was denied access and had to return to the Amhara region earlier this week, a U.N. humanitarian worker said. The worker spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.

WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — The number of Americans applying for unemployment aid fell again last week to the lowest level since the pandemic struck last year, further evidence that the job market and the broader economy are rebounding rapidly from the coronavirus recession.

The Labor Department reported Thursday that jobless claims dropped by 51,000 to 364,000.

Applications for unemployment benefits have fallen more or less steadily since the year began. The rollout of vaccines has sharply reduced new COVID-19 cases, giving consumers the confidence to shop, travel, eat out and attend public events as the economy recovers.

Last week’s drop in jobless claims was steeper than economists had expected.

Applications for unemployment benefits have now fallen in 10 of the past 12 weeks.

“As life normalizes and the service sector continues to gain momentum, we expect initial jobless claims to remain in a downtrend,’’ said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at the consulting firm Maria Fiorini Ramirez.

All that pent-up spending has generated such demand for workers, notably at restaurants and tourism businesses, that many employers have been struggling to fill jobs just as the number of posted

openings has reached a record high. But many economists expect hiring to catch up with demand in the coming months, especially as federal unemployment aid programs end and more people pursue jobs.

On Friday, according to the data provider FactSet, the government is expected to report that employers added 675,000 jobs in June. That would be a substantial number but still not at a pace that would allow the economy to quickly regain its pre-pandemic level of employment. The job market remains nearly 7 million jobs short of that level.

Some businesses have complained that expanded federal aid to the unemployed — especially a $300-a-week supplemental benefit, intended to cushion the economic blow from the pandemic — has discouraged some people from looking for a job.

But other factors, too, are believed to have contributed to the shortage of people seeking work again: Difficulty arranging or affording child care, lingering fears of COVID-19, early retirements by older workers, a slowdown in immigration and a decision by some people to seek new careers rather than return to their old jobs.

COVID: Experts try to determine when surgery is safe Continued from A1

hadn’t been infected in the first place. Patients with lingering COVID-19 symptoms should wait even longer, the study suggested.

But, as Colvin’s experience illustrates, such guideposts may be of limited use with a virus whose effect on individual patients is so unpredictable.

“We know that COVID has lingering effects even in people who had relatively mild disease,” said Dr. Don Goldmann, a professor at Harvard Medical School who is a senior fellow and chief scientific officer emeritus at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. “We don’t know why that is.

But it’s reasonable to assume, when we decide how long we should wait before performing elective surgery, that someone’s respiratory or other systems may still be affected.”

The study, published in the journal Anaesthesia in March, examined the 30-day postoperative mortality rate of more than 140,000 patients in 116 countries who had elective or emergency surgery in October. Researchers found that patients who had surgery within two weeks of their COVID-19 diagnosis had a 4.1% adjusted mortality rate at 30 days; the rate decreased to 3.9% in those diagnosed three to four weeks before surgery, and dropped again, to 3.6%, in those who had surgery five to six weeks after their diagnosis. Patients whose surgery occurred at least seven weeks after their COVID-19 diagnosis had a mortality rate of 1.5% 30 days after surgery, the same as for patients who were never diagnosed with the virus.

Even after seven weeks, however, patients who still had COVID-19 symptoms were more than twice as likely to die after surgery than people whose symptoms had resolved or who never had symptoms.

Some experts said seven weeks is too arbitrary a threshold for scheduling surgery for patients who have had COVID-19. In addition to patients’ recovery status from the virus, the calculus will be different for an older patient with chronic

conditions who needs major heart surgery, for example, than for a generally healthy person in their 20s who needs a straightforward hernia repair.

“COVID is just one of the things to be taken into account,” said Dr. Kenneth Sharp, a member of the Board of Regents of the American College of Surgeons and vice chair of the Department of Surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

In December, the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation issued these guidelines for timing surgery for former COVID-19 patients: — Four weeks if a patient was asymptomatic or had mild, non-respiratory symptoms.

— Six weeks for a symptomatic patient who wasn’t hospitalized.

— Eight to 10 weeks for a symptomatic patient who has diabetes, is immunocompromised or was hospitalized.

— Twelve weeks for a patient who spent time in an intensive care unit.

Those guidelines are not definitive, according to the groups. The operation to be performed, patients’ medical conditions and the risk of delaying surgery should all be factored in.

“Long COVID” patients like Colvin who continue to have debilitating symptoms months after 12 weeks have passed require a more thorough evaluation before surgery, said Dr. Beverly Philip, president of the society.

Now that COVID-19 has been brought to

heel in many areas and vaccines are widely available, hospital operating rooms are bustling again.

“In talking to surgical colleagues, hospitals are really busy now,” said Dr. Avital O’Glasser, medical director of the outpatient preoperative clinic at Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland. “I’ve seen patients with delayed knee replacements, bariatric surgery, more advanced cancer.”

At the beginning of the pandemic, surgical volumes dropped dramatically as many hospitals canceled nonessential procedures and patients avoided facilities packed with COVID-19 patients.

From March to June 2020, the number of inpatient and outpatient surgeries at U.S. hospitals was 30% lower than in the same period the year before, according to McKinsey & Company’s quarterly Health System Volumes Survey. By May 2021, surgical volumes had mostly rebounded, and were just 2% lower than their May 2019 totals, according to the May survey.

Oregon Health and Sciences University clinicians developed a protocol a year ago for clearing any patient who had COVID-19 for elective surgery. When obtaining patients’ medical history and conducting physical exams, clinicians look for signs of COVID-19 complications that aren’t readily identifiable and determine whether patients have returned to their pre-COVID-19 level of health.

The pre-op exam also includes lab and other tests that evalu-

ate cardiopulmonary function, coagulation status, inflammation markers and nutrition, all of which can be disrupted by COVID-19.

If the assessment raises no red flags, patients can be cleared for surgery once they have

waited the minimum seven weeks since their COVID-19 diagnosis.

Originally, the minimum wait for surgery was four weeks, but clinicians pushed it back to seven after the international study was published, O’Glasser said.

“We are still learning about COVID, and uncertainty in medicine is one of the biggest challenges we face,” said O’Glasser.

“Right now, our team is erring on the side of caution.”

At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, doctors don’t follow a specific protocol. “We’re taking every patient one at a time. There are no hard-and-fast rules at this institution,” said Dr. Jeffrey Drebin, chair of surgery.

Clinicians work to find a balance between the urgency of the cancer surgery

and the need to allow enough time to ensure COVID-19 recovery, he said.

For Brian Colvin, whose right rotator cuff is torn, delaying surgery is painful and may worsen the tear.

But the rest of his life is on hold, too. A sales representative for an auto parts company, he hasn’t been able to work since he got sick.

His balance problems make him reluctant to stray far from his home in Crest Hill, Illinois, the Chicago suburb where he lives with his wife and 15-year-old son.

Some days he has more energy and isn’t as short of breath as others. Colvin hopes it’s a sign he’s slowly improving. But at this point, it’s hard to be optimistic about the virus.

“It’s always something,” he said.

BOSTON (AP) — J.D. Martinez and Hunter Renfroe homered, Martin Perez pitched two-run ball into the sixth inning and the Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 6-2 Wednesday night in a game twice delayed by poor weather.

First pitch was pushed back 41 minutes and umpires stopped play for 1 hour, 56 minutes in the middle of the sixth, but the teams managed to play nine innings.

Perez (6-4) allowed two runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings, striking out two.

“Martin was outstanding.

He did an outstanding job,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “Tough conditions towards the end of his outing.”

He allowed a homer to Salvador Pérez leading off the second. Pérez’s homer came during a 4-for-4 night.

“That’s doing it in a big way. Four hits is hard to do,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said of Perez’s game. “He gave us a good jolt.”

Mike Minor (6-6) gave up five runs on seven hits over five innings.

Martinez hit a three-run homer in the third, his 16th of the season, for a 3-1 lead.

Renfroe added a solo shot in the eighth.

Xander Bogaerts and Marwin Gonzalez each had two hits for Boston.

Royals right-hander Richard Lovelady was struck by Martinez’s line-drive comebacker in the seventh and left the game. He pitched 1 2/3 perfect innings in his season debut.

The Olympics should rethink how it hosts games

By CHRIS SOSA Chicago Tribune (TNS)

CHICAGO — Even if this year’s Summer Games in Tokyo are staged with minimal distraction — and that’s a big if — everything about choosing Olympics host sites could use an overhaul.

Tokyo is in an unenviable situation, having the Games postponed last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The financial commitment the Olympics require already is monumental, and pushing the festivities back a year — though absolutely the right decision — has nudged those costs still higher.

According to The Associated Press, Japan officially has spent $15.4 billion preparing for the Olympics, with $2.8 billion attributable to the delay. Government audits say the overall costs might be twice that, however. The fact the public is footing most of the bill, as is common with the Games, makes it a tougher pill to swallow.

It’s not as if Tokyo’s costs

The Olympic Rings are displayed by the Odaiba Marine Park Olympic venue on June 3, 2021 in Tokyo, Japan. (YUICHI YAMAZAKI/GETTY IMAGES/TNS) are abnormal either. The 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, cost $13 billion. The 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro cost

$20 billion. Even costlier were the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, with a staggering price tag north of $50 billion.

OF ‘THE REPUBLIC OF SARAH’ ON THE CW I am a bit of a control freak, so I guess we share that.

What have you learned about politics from doing the series?

Because it’s a small town, if we’re doing a poll in (the show’s fictional) Greylock about a new law or the constitution or whatever it is, everyone who expresses an opinion on that is heard. I think we’re moving back towards more of that sort of grassroots, focused on your community, focused on your local representatives to get to pass policy that relates specifically to the people around you.

In “The Republic of Sarah,” what do you think are Sarah’s strengths and weaknesses in becoming the leader of a newly formed country?

I think Sarah’s basic knowledge of U.S. history and cartography and geography ... it’s just such a wealth of knowledge in that area. And it’s such a progressive outlook on the possibility of what a country can look like.

At the same time, she is a little bit impulsive. She can make quick, reckless decisions sometimes. She also sometimes thinks that she has the best ideas for everyone, so I think one of the biggest challenges for Sarah is figuring out how to reach out and get help, because you can’t do this task alone. I would not trust myself to run a country – I don’t have the expertise for that – but

It’s just that in Greylock, when people vote for something like that or engage civically, it’s the laws for the whole country ... but I don’t think it’s so different than when we show up to our town hall and say, “This is what we care about. This is what we need.”

How is it now to have a father who’s also been through the seriesstar experience, namely Simon Baker (“The Mentalist”)?

I feel really lucky that I have some sense of guidance, that when the s–hits the fan, I can call my dad and be like “What’s going on? Am I doing it all wrong?” He’s been through it all, so he has been available to give me guidance, and I’m really grateful for that.

Expedition to monitor Titanic’s deterioration

By BEN FINLEY Associated Press

The Titanic is disappearing. The iconic ocean liner that was sunk by an iceberg is now slowly succumbing to metal-eating bacteria: holes pervade the wreckage, the crow’s nest is already gone and the railing of the ship’s iconic bow could collapse at any time.

Racing against the inevitable, an undersea exploration company’s expedition to the site of the wreckage could start this week, beginning what’s expected to be an annual chronicling of the ship’s deterioration. With the help of wealthy tourists, experts hope to learn more about the vessel as well as the underwater ecosystem that shipwrecks spawn.

“The ocean is taking this thing, and we need to document it before it all disappears or becomes unrecognizable,” Stockton Rush, president of OceanGate Expeditions, said Friday from a ship headed to the North Atlantic wreck site.

The 109-year-old ocean liner is being battered by deep-sea currents and bacteria that consumes hundreds of pounds of iron a day.

Some have predicted the ship could vanish in a matter of decades as holes yawn in the hull and sections disintegrate.

Since the ship’s 1985 discovery, the 100-foot forward mast has collapsed. The crow’s nest

For instance, he’d like But OceanGate is also confirmation regarding bringing roughly 40 where he believes the

ship’s dog kennels are.

OceanGate will not take anything from the site, making this expedition far less controversial than the now-scuttled plans by another firm to retrieve the Titanic’s radio.

RMS Titanic, the company that owns the wreck’s salvage rights, wanted to exhibit the radio equipment because it had broadcast the Titanic’s distress calls. But the proposal sparked a court battle last year with the U.S. government. It said the expedition would break federal law and a pact with Britain to leave the wreck undisturbed because it’s a grave site.

All but about 700 of the roughly 2,200 passengers and crew died after the ship struck an iceberg in 1912.

The court battle ended after the firm indefinitely delayed its plans because of complications brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.

But it’s possible that not everyone will approve of this next mission.

In 2003, Ed Kamuda, then the president of the Titanic Historical Society, told The Associated Press that human activity, including tourism and expeditions, needs to be limited. He said the site should be a simple maritime memorial and left alone.

“Let nature take back what is hers,” he said.

“It’s only a matter of time before it’s a brown stain and a collection of pig iron on the ocean floor.”

She wants peace. He says that’s selfish Tell Me About It

Dear Carolyn: My wedding is coming up, and a bunch of my fiance’s relatives want to stay at our house when they come for the wedding. Is it irrational for me to not want them to stay at our house? Fiance thinks it is selfish; I think I am trying to preserve my sanity.

— Va.

Carolyn Hax

part” turns out to be, a spouse who doesn’t recognize, respect and tend to your needs will make it feel eternal. And uphill.

Some, possibly he, will argue the freedom to open his home to relatives — with his wife at his side — represents for him an emotional need as well. It’s a legitimate point.

And, it’s a need he can satisfy just fine, over the course of his life and your marriage, without taxing you on this particular weekend. It’s one he can satisfy eight, nine, even 10 out of 10 times people visit, while still being thoughtful to you, just by leaving you room to say no when you aren’t in the mood.

If it means the world to him and guilt-induced compliance from you, it’s one he should satisfy by marrying someone more compatible.

Va.: Advice columnist thinks your marriage is riding on this.

His response to your expressed need for calm and privacy is to question your character.

Wow. Before you solemnly swear anything, you and he need to confer on your priorities in this marriage.

At first glance, it’s easy to say he has one view of family and you have another, and so you both need to come to a compromise.

Don’t make that mistake. Look a little more closely, and you’ll see: His relatives expressed a desire, you’ve expressed an emotional need, and he’s going with the relatives. No matter how long “till death do you

Public notice

It’s also a point he could have easily made, and invited you to discuss with him, without whipping the S-word at you.

Resolving two different needs ultimately isn’t about assigning blame; it’s about defining yourself, learning how to understand the other person and finding what you both can live with. Have that talk.

Bend/don’t bend where you want — but don’t budge on respectful treatment. It’s always tempting, and always shortsighted, to sell yourself out just to buy some prenuptial peace.

Dear Carolyn: How do you know when people are just taking advantage of you and are not really “true” friends? I find myself doing everything I can for others, but am often left in tears over being left out or forgotten on my birthday.

— A.B. A.B.: At the risk of sounding like myself — aren’t “true” friends just taking advantage of

each other? Yes, it’s each other’s love or empathy or common interests vs., say, money or beach house. But a healthy give-and-take is still the giving and taking of something each of you wants.

And so it might be less fraught, and therefore clearer, if you reduce your friendships to practical terms: Are you getting the attention you want from all this attention you give?

If you aren’t, then don’t just write off these friends. First try letting them know the kind of attention you’d like.

“Let’s go out next week for my birthday” sounds a lot more fun than hoping people think of it themselves, and then crying alone in your soup.

Tennis: Players out of practice on grass Continued from A1

6-3, 6-3 in a rematch of their 2018 final at the Grand Slam tournament, but he was merely one example of someone who couldn’t stay upright.

Andy Murray, Bianca Andreescu, Sloane Stephens, Nick Kyrgios, John Isner and a ball kid were among the folks taking tumbles on Day 3.

“I didn’t slip just once; I slipped, like, six times during the match. The courts are pretty wet,” said Andreescu, the 2019 U.S. Open champion and No. 5 seed who lost to Alize Cornet 6-2, 6-1 on No. 2 Court. “I mean, the courts are super slippery.

I have only played here once before, but they weren’t like this at all.”

Williams’ latest bid for a record-tying 24th Grand Slam title ended with her “heartbroken” and in tears after just 30 minutes and less than a set Tuesday. She injured

her right leg when her left shoe lost traction behind the baseline in almost the exact same spot that Adrian Mannarino twisted his right knee while leading Federer.

Both of those matches were on Centre Court.

But Isner’s trouble came on Court 18 during his five-set loss Wednesday, and Kyrgios came down awkwardly on No. 1 Court.

In what sounded like an attempt to dispel the notion that anything might be different about the grass two years since the tournament was last held, the All England Club issued a statement Tuesday night that said, in part: “The preparation of the grass courts has been to exactly the same meticulous standard as in previous years.”

The grass is removed and replaced annually.

So the fact that the 2020 edition was called off

because of the pandemic shouldn’t affect things.

“Even though we didn’t have The Championships, our renovation program was the same,” Neil Stubley, the club’s head of courts and horticulture, said before competition began Monday. “So we literally just ripped the courts up and sort of re-leveled, re-seeded and then just grew them back in for this year.”

Djokovic offered another possible explanation: Players are out of practice on grass. Not only was last season’s circuit on the surface wiped out, but there were only two weeks, instead of the standard three, between the end of the clay-court French Open and start of Wimbledon.

His first-round match Monday, and the matches involving Williams and Mannarino on Tuesday, were played with

the main stadium’s retractable roof shut because of rain. And that — rather any sort of change to the grass itself at the oldest Grand Slam tournament — is what the All England Club blamed for how slick the surface was during what it said were the wettest two opening days of Wimbledon “in almost a decade.”

Keeping the roof closed for a long period leads to “additional moisture” on the grass, the club said.

“It feels a tad more slippery, maybe, under the roof. I don’t know if it’s just a gut feeling. You do have to move very, very carefully out there.

If you push too hard in the wrong moments, you do go down,” Federer said. “I do feel it’s drier during the day. With the wind and all that stuff, it takes the (moisture) out of the grass. But this is obviously terrible.”

all of the ribs,” Matheny said. “Doctors already checked him out and believe that everything checked out well internally.”

TRAINER’S ROOM

Red Sox: LHP Chris Sale (Tommy John surgery) threw live batting practice at Fenway Park. He is expected to go to the team’s spring training complex in Fort Myers, Florida, next week and throw another live BP, likely two innings, before potentially starting a minor league rehab assignment.

to pay off the debt it incurred by hosting the 1976 Summer Games.

That type of potential headache no doubt has given cities pause as to whether to mount a bid.

There has to be a better way. Although few, if anyone, could have predicted the effects of the pandemic, other expenses can be mitigated.

For one, the Games can be celebrated without requiring only one metropolitan area to build facilities from scratch, only for many to go unused once the Olympics and Paralympics leave town. No one likes to see venues deteriorate into eyesores.

To that end, at least two options are worth exploring to make the Games more manageable.

The first is to take a page out of the FIFA World Cup’s book: Instead of limiting the host site to one city, why not use multiple cities?

This approach could be advantageous for American bids. In the interest of making the Games commuter-friendly, the cities ideally would be a reasonable distance apart (say 150 to 200 miles) and connected via highway and rail.

A Bay Area Olympics?

That could work. Los Angeles and San Diego joining forces? I don’t see why not. New York and Philadelphia co-hosting?

Dare to dream.

Consider Chicago’s failed bid for the 2016 Games. Even in rejection the project was expensive. According to Chicago Tribune reporting, the bid left the city on the hook for $140 million in principal and interest on the purchase of property for an athletes

village as well as costly 10-year union contracts.

But what if Chicago could have made a joint bid with Milwaukee? For starters, both cities have photogenic lakefronts and are separated by just 90 miles. And in the spirit of spreading the attendance wealth, one city could have hosted the opening and closing ceremonies and track and field, while the other could have been home to swimming and gymnastics.

Detractors might say widening the Games’ footprint diminishes athletes’ and fans’ ability to hop from venue to venue, and that’s true.

It’s also a concern that can be assuaged by extending the Olympics schedule by a few days.

But distant events never stop fans from packing World Cup stadiums. Beyond that, the surfing competition for the 2024 Games in Paris will be held in Fiji, 9,700 miles from the host city.

So there’s precedent for spacing out events.

Another possibility is to choose permanent sites for the Summer and Winter Games, cities that also would be home to the Paralympic Games.

Among the upsides: The unusual facilities required for the Olympics would be slated for regular use. For example, there’s almost no getting around having to build a whitewater course for the kayak slalom — only in 1996 was a natural river used for the event. However, if that course were slated to host the sport’s marquee event every four years, the cost would be easier to justify — especially if other competitions were held there in

the interim.

Choosing permanent host cities would be challenging, but there are some starting points.

For the Summer Games, solid arguments could be made to root them in Athens (birthplace of the Olympics) or Paris (first host of the modern Games).

For the Winter edition, Lillehammer would be on the short list given how many veteran journalists gushed about the Olympics in Norway 27 years ago.

“The 1994 Games likely were the greatest Winter Olympics ever,” then-ESPN reporter Jim Caple wrote in 2014.

“And 20 years later, those Games still retain that feeling of an animated fairy tale.”

Sure, there are downsides to the permanent-host model. Adjusting to faraway time zones could hurt viewership — and enjoyment — of the Games if they were anchored halfway around the world from the United States and prime-time viewing featured only delayed coverage.

This should not be enough to derail this option, however. Hosting an Olympics is not any city’s birthright.

Many NFL cities never get to host a Super Bowl (cough, Chicago, cough).

They get over it, and the same would be true for the Games. As for fans who want to see events unfold live, technology allows them to stream to their hearts’ content — regardless of what time it is.

I don’t mean to reduce the Olympics to dollars and cents; I love many things about them. Two years between the Summer and Winter Games

seems like forever, and I am among those glued to countless hours of coverage, sometimes at the expense of sleep.

It’s also understandable that to some cities and countries, the cost of hosting the Olympics is like busting the budget on a wedding or a once-in-a-lifetime vacation: The grandeur and prestige override any potential buyer’s remorse.

The soft political power can’t be underestimated, either — just ask Japan as it scrambles to host the first post-pandemic Games ahead of rival China, which has the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

But even an institution as seemingly immovable as the Games can and should be flexible. The International Olympic Committee has demonstrated adaptability by adding and subtracting events. Making large-scale changes would require adjustment periods, but as long as athletes and fans still can connect with the Olympics, they would prove worthwhile.
