Fairfield council to discuss how to spend $9.8M in Rescue Plan funds Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The City Council has nearly $9.81 million in federal funds it needs to spend over the next five years.

The funds are what is left of the $19.8 million in American Rescue Plan Act dollars the city is allocated, the first $10 million of which on May 18 was allocated toward improving and expanding broadband infrastructure in the city.

“Since that meeting, additional guidance was released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury tightening the eligible uses related to broadband projects,” a staff report to the council states. “The guid-

ance is not finalized and the city continues to work with advocacy groups to expand . . .

Treasury’s definition of eligible projects.”

One of the clear directives in the Rescue is broadband Plan investment must reach underserved households and businesses.

The council will meet in the City Hall chamber for a special meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday to discuss how to spend the rest.

The city must show on what it intends to spend the funds by the end of 2024, but has until the end of 2026 to actually use it.

The staff report also notes that the council See Funds, Page A9

Death toll reaches 86; site to be cleared ‘sooner than expected’ Tribune Content Agency MIAMI — First responders continuing the search and recovery mission in the debris of the collapsed Surfside condo tower on Saturday worked at times through heavy downpours and strong wind gusts to uncover more of the former residents and visitors of the Champlain Towers South, with perhaps dozens of victims yet to be found.

The recovery effort – which overnight pulled seven more bodies from the rubble – briefly paused at 7 a.m. after a lightning strike. But

The pace of finding victims has increased substantially since the demolition of the remaining part of the building nearly a week ago, as rescue workers have accessed a wider area. the grueling, gut-wrenching task went on amid intense heat, and policeescorted trucks carrying debris from the site were seen on the Julia Tuttle See Toll, Page A9

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Nearly a century after it was first erected, and almost four years after it triggered a deadly weekend of violence, the statue of Robert E. Lee sitting on horseback in downtown Charlottesville was hoisted into the air Saturday and carted away on a truck.

Many of those watching the bronze monument come down shared the same response: It had been a long time coming.

“I don’t have much to say other than this is well overdue,” said Zyahna Bryant, who started a petition while in high school in 2016 to remove the statue. “This should have happened a long time ago.”

After years of legal battles, protests and tensions that gripped the community and sometimes the nation, it took only a few minutes

Charlottesville City Council had initially voted to remove the statue in February 2017, following Bryant’s petition. But a group of residents sued only a few weeks later, sparking a prolonged fight in court over whether the city could topple such monuments.

Others took their defense of the Confederate iconography to the streets. That summer, white supremacists descended on the city in violent protest. One man drove his car through a crowd of counterprotesters, killing 32-yearold Heather Heyer.

Long a fraught symbol for many in Charlottesville, the Lee figure quickly became a national flash point over tensions on how to deal with statues honoring the Confederate war leaders who fought a losing battle to preserve the institution of slavery.

Like a statue of fellow Gen. Stonewall Jackson three blocks away, the Lee monument was vandalized with paint and graffiti, and “patrolled” by armed groups last summer. Residents fought over whether it could be shrouded

understand what would follow that. It would be possible to make something of it, if not Dolly the Sheep. In general, it will be very interesting.”

What? (First, literally “what?” Did the quote get run through a translating app, which made it seem so stilted?

Secondly, figuratively “what?”

What he’s saying is insane.)

Shoigu is suggesting cloning. He’s wants to bring back warriors who lived thousands of years ago, presumably to form an army.

To conquer the world, if my childhood cartoons are accurate.

There are, of course, some significant problems with Shoigu’s plan.

First of all, would it even work? Scientists cloned Dolly the sheep in 1996 after many attempts. There’s probably been subsequent cloning since (can someone confirm?), but cloning a human from preserved DNA is another issue.

Secondly, even if Russian scientists could pull that off, they wouldn’t create adult warriors. The cloned Scythi-

ans would arrive as babies.

They would be raised by modern parents (or perhaps, if movies are any indication, by some evil/kind benefactor). It would take two decades before they could be soldiers, 20 years during which they would probably become fascinated by video games, music, pop culture and fast food.

It’s hard to imagine all the potential issues they’d face.

Would nature win out? Nurture?

The third big issue is that Shoigu thinks 3,000-year-old warriors would be a huge asset, despite the fact that Scythian military success was based on equestrian skills and crossbows.

OK, I feel better now. The crazy Russians may try to recreate an ancient group of warriors, but I’ll take my chances with the American military against a bunch of cloned Russians who ride horses and shoot arrows.

And play video games. Right?

Budget revision, I-80 truck scales project in STA headlights Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — The Solano Transportation Authority directors will consider a 2021-22 budget revision when they meet Wednesday.

The meeting is still being held virtually by going to https://tinyurl. com/5c5wdmw4. Access is also available by calling 1-408-638-0968.

New state bill helps students with grade relief during pandemic Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Thanks to legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom last week, some students who did not qualify for graduation in June may now be able to do so just one month later.

Newsom inked Assembly Bill 104, which relieves some students’ corey requirements, retention and grades because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The legislation was listed as urgent and immediately applies to all school dis-

tricts, retroactive to the 2020-21 school year and applied to the upcoming 2021-22 school year.

“For many, distance learning has not been ideal across the state,” said Fairfield-Suisun School Unified District Superintendent Kris Corey. “We don’t want to penalize and hurt students for things that may have been out of their control. This was not a normal situation.

Students should not be punished for a pandemic.” mentioned Corey

potential situations in which students may have had to care for a sibling during the pandemic, or had to go to work, or simply had poor internet connections.

“We haven’t done the analysis of how many kids will receive their diplomas, but it could be a handful,” Corey said.

Assistant Superintendent Sheila McCabe added, “We’ll be working throughout July to do evaluations of transcripts and get in contact with students.”

Solano County Office of Education Superintendent Lisette Estrella-Hender-

son added, “The pandemic put a spotlight on opportunity gaps and barriers to learning that exist for some students. The AB 104 legislation recognizes that students who struggled with distance learning should not be penalized. Our job as educators is to create options that adjust to meet the needs of each individual student and have systems of support and recovery in place for those students moving forward.”

Fairfield man arrested on suspicion Zoning administrator of murder following 2-county search considers wireless Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A multiple-county search led to the arrest Thursday of a local man suspected in a domestic violence incident that may have resulted in the death of a 36-year-old Fairfield woman.

Fairfield police were dispatched at 11 a.m. to an incident on the 200 block of Pennsylvania Avenue where officers found a woman dead, according to a Police Department press release.

The Solano County

Sheriff-Coroner’s Office identified the woman as Erika Avelino. Police initially listed her age as 26.

The cause of death was not released, and repeated calls to the Fairfield Police Department, were not returned.

Police identified Hugo Avelino Medina, 34, of Fairfield, as the person of interest.

Medina’s vehicle was later found in San Rafael with assistance from the California Highway Patrol. Fairfield police detectives began a search with the assistance of the

Marin County Sheriff’s Office and the San Rafael Police Department.

Medina, the police said, was located in the area and taken into custody Thursday afternoon. He was booked Thursday night into the Solano County jail on suspicion of murder and for a suspected misdemeanor violation of his probation, according to jail booking records.

Medina remained in jail Friday and was being held without bail. He was scheduled to appear in court Friday.

death Avelino’s remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the circumstances that led to her death is asked to call Fairfield police detectives at 428-7600.

This is the fourth reported homicide this year in Fairfield and the second this week.

The first of those investigations involved a local resident fatally shooting a suspected intruder into his home on Tuesday. The victim was identified as a 27-year-old Suisun City man.

Corey said Sem Yeto High School and the Fairfield-Suisun Adult School had the 130 credit mandate in place already. She added that most schools have had higher than minimum credit requirements in place before the pandemic, and that the Fairfield-Suisun district had some of the highest requirements in the state.

Estrella-Henderson also said the struggle now for school administrators is the timetable.

“Responding effectively to the needs of the broad spectrum of students that Solano schools serve is complex, and tight timelines add another factor that will need to be addressed by school districts,” she said. “Communicating to families about the changes and options available before the start of the school year may be challenging.”

FAIRFIELD — Area agencies are still weighing in on the windfall of federal Covid relief funding, in some cases, trying to decide how to spend millions of dollars above what the pandemic cost them.

Solano County has nearly $87 million to spend, and that does not include the cities, school districts and other agencies.

The harder truth is that some businesses will not recover.

All the while, coronavirus case numbers that might have caused some concern a couple of months ago, and especially in Los Angeles and in the Sacramento’s halls of government, are largely dismissed today.

“I don’t think we are unconcerned,” said Dr. Bela Matyas, the Solano County public health officer.

“The character of the cases that are occurring today are quite different than the cases a year ago,” he said.

The reason is that more elderly individuals were being infected in the early summer of 2020, resulting in higher levels of illness and deaths, and now that same population has the highest level of vaccination.

Actually, the daily case average from May 15 to June 15 when the Governor’s Office opened up the state’s economy is almost identical to the daily count since June 15 to Friday’s update. Each is about 22 cases.

Matyas said the county is seeing the early results from the Fourth of July

weekend. He said the tracing reports show those infected tend to be younger, and so they are not getting as ill, and they also have been socializing with others who are not vaccinated.

That were 92 additional cases since the county’s Wednesday update, though six were delayed reports. Still, the 86 new cases is an average of 43 cases per day, much higher than the averages over the previous two months.

The county reported, as of Friday, there have been 34,241 new coronavirus cases since the pandemic started.

Most of those infected, however, are younger and fend off the disease better than the more vulnerable.

That is why the county is not seeing as many deaths and hospitalizations.

The death toll remains at 245. The number of individuals in the hospital

Chapkidz clears first hurdle on ‘America’s Got Talent’

MST kicks off postpandemic plays with ‘Into the Woods’

FAIRFIELD — Earning a unanimous vote to go on to the next round of “America’s Got Talent” is just the beginning for Solano County’s own Chapkidz.

Spain-themed The dance piece was choreographed by Greg Chapkis of Chapkis Dance, who competed on “America’s Got Talent” in Season 10.

The dancers performed this week on the TV competition now in its 16th season.

Coach Shelena Whitehurst, a Rodriguez High graduate, said the team of dancers, ranging from 12 to 18, have to up their game.

“How do we top that when we set the bar so high?” is Whitehurst’s worry as the group advances.

Just a few moments into Chapkidz’ audition, judge Howie Mandel commented on how good the performance was, a sentiment soon echoed by fellow judges Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara and Simon Cowell.

Utilizing three tunes from Spanish singer Rosalia, the female dancers donned long red skirts, fans and flowers in their hair. An interesting look for hip-hop dancers.

The confusion ploy was well played.

Work on the audition began before Covid-19. The pandemic gave Chapkis and Whitehurst time to fine-tune it.

FAIRFIELD — A musical that intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales, comes to the Downtown Theatre on Saturday.

“Into the Woods” features characters from Red Riding “Little Hood,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “Rapunzel” and “Cinderella” to name a few.

The musical is tied together by a story involving a childless baker and his wife and their quest to begin a family, their interaction with a witch who has placed a curse on them, and their interaction with other storybook characters during their journey.

Devin Wieser, a Missouri Street Theatre stalwart, is cast as Cinderella.

This is her first time in “Into the Woods,” making it the first time she’s played Cinderella.

“This is a gorgeous show and one I’ve been waiting to check off my list,” she shared in an email.

Wieser has been MST working with in many facets since she was 15.

“I’ve literally grown up there,” she said.

“A lot of who I am as a person and how I am as a performer, teacher and friend is from my time at MST. It will always be my second home and family,” Wieser added.

“Into the Woods” is the work of Stephen

The Solano-based Chapkidz are competing on Season 16 of “America’s Got Talent.”

“We worked on it to make it better and better,” Whitehurst said.

Whitehurst started dancing when she was 8.

She wasn’t crazy about it after her first class. She did remember the feeling afterward and decided to continue.

She auditioned for Chapkis on her 11th birthday and has been with them since, including joining Chapkis during Season 10 of “AGT.” Many of the Chapkidz gathered to watch the older dancers on Season 10.

Watching the Chapkidz audition was bittersweet.

“It was such a proud moment for me,” she said.

“A part of me wished to get on the stage. It was a fullcircle moment.”

Coaching is less stressful. She doesn’t have to focus on her part on stage and gets to focus on what makes Chapkidz look their best.

She had unforgettable experiences from being part of Season 10. It was her first trip to New York City, and while there, Whitehurst visited Radio City Music Hall. The team formed an unbreakable bond during the competition, she said.

Whitehurst said she knew the Chapkidz were offering something different. And, she didn’t hear a

Visitors to Benicia’s shops on First Street can enter a drawing to win $100 in Downtown Dollars, redeemable at dozens of downtown businesses, by locating a framed photograph of Doña Benicia inside participating stores.

According to the Benicia Historical Museum, “Doña Benicia came from a long line of strong women. Her mother was one of the first woman winemakers in Sonoma County. At the age of 17, she traveled for four weeks by mule while pregnant to reach her husband,

General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo and was the mother of 16 children of which 10 survived to adulthood. After the founding of Benicia, named after her, she began to go by that name instead of Francisca and was thereafter known as Doña Benicia.”

Shoppers simply find a framed photo of Doña Benicia and email the store name and the secret code word printed on the back of the frame to Benicia Main Street at info@beniciamainstreet.org to enter the drawing. Earn one entry for each store – or score a double entry by purchasing an item at the store and showing the receipt to Benicia Main Street located at 90 First St. Participating merchants include Adobe Second Chance Thrift

negative remark.

“It was a new experience and I enjoyed it and the kids were super excited,” she said.

She was a little surprised by the reaction of people when asked what the troupe would do if they won the $1 million prize.

The answer: Go to Universal Studios.

“It was 100% a joke,” Whitehurst said of the answer, which many in the studio audience, as well as Cowell, seemed to believe.

There are still a few more audition shows., so tune in to watch the Chapkidz on “America’s Got Talent.”

Sondheim, who is often credited with reinventing the American musical.

His shows have been credited with tackling unexpected themes that range far beyond the genre’s traditional subjects.

Wieser said it’s among her favorite Sondheim shows, but “Sweeney Todd” tops the list.

“I came full circle with that show being able to play Johanna twice, once in high school and again at MST,” she wrote. “It’s a very special show for me. However, ‘Woods’ is stunning.”

More than a year away from the stage because of Covid-19 solidified for her that she was meant to be on the stage, she said.

“A huge piece of me was missing and I’m so happy to finally get that piece back,” she wrote.

Wieser’s favorite portrayal of Cinderella in “Into the Woods” was done by Sierra Boggess.

She handled the role two years ago at the Hollywood Bowl.

“She’s a stunning soprano and someone I’ve looked up to for a long time,” Wieser wrote.

The performances will be done in the newly revamped courtyard at

the Downtown Theatre on Texas Street.

She has experience performing in the elements at the Downtown Theatre.

“For the concerts I was lucky enough to be a part of, it was really cool to kind of take yourself out of the classic theater aspect and just sing,” she wrote.

“We got to do songs we wouldn’t ever get the chance to do really, and it was wonderful. And on those chillier nights, we definitely had some tea brewing and stratus stylish yet warm outfits!”

Opinion A8 Sunday, July 11, 2021 — DAILY REPUBLIC

calmatters commentary

California has a segregation problem going

D

eeply blue California’s top political figures, from the governor downward, portray the state as a model of multicultural integration.

In fact, however, as a new study from University of California, Berkeley’s Othering & Belonging Institute reveals most California metropolitan areas have high levels of racial segregation in housing and it has become more pronounced over the past two decades. Oddly, too, California’s segregation tends to be highest in areas most likely to lean to the left politically.

The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana metropolitan area, the study found, is the nation’s sixth most segregated region of 200,000 residents or more. Other California areas with high levels of segregation Dan Walters include San Francisco-Oakland (25th), San Diego (38th), San Jose (45th) and Sacramento (82nd).

Of the 11 California regions on the report’s “high segregation” list, only two, Bakersfield (37th) and Fresno (72nd), hew to the right politically. The San Luis Obispo-Paso Robles area, which also is somewhat conservative politically, is one of only two regions in the nation deemed to be highly integrated, the other being Colorado Springs, which is a Republican bastion.

OK, so California is not the exemplar of integration it often pretends to be. But isn’t the state trying to make its housing patterns more inclusive?

Officially, yes. State housing guidelines and recent legislation seek more integration of multifamily housing into what have been exclusively single-family neighborhoods as determined by local zoning laws. A mixture of housing types, it’s argued, would create more neighborhood diversity.

Those efforts, however, have faced stiff opposition in suburban communities where single-family homes predominate, with the fiercest resistance in suburbs dominated by Democratic voters, such as Marin County.

The outcome of California’s housing war remains in doubt. However, as California pursues – at least on paper – more integration in housing, it seems to be encouraging more segregation in political representation through a concept called “community of interest,” or COI. When California’s Citizens Redistricting Commission, created by a statewide ballot measure, first tackled the redrawing of legislative and congressional districts in 2011, it assumed that one of its jobs was to identify COIs and make them a dominant factor in redistricting.

The commission is just beginning to do its work again, using still-to-be-released data from the 2020 census, and is putting even more emphasis on COIs, although how to define them remains uncertain.

The current commission is staging “COI input meetings” around the state and seeking participation but admits in its latest invitation that “there are no clear rules on how to define a community of interest.”

It’s assumed that under federal law, redistricting plans must not inhibit the ability of ethnic and racial groups to elect representatives. To insulate the new maps from legal challenge, the commission will use data on concentrations of potential voters (over the age of 18 and citizens) to create “majority-minority” districts that, in effect, preordain the election of legislators and congressional members from the designated communities.

Although California’s overall population has seen only scant growth over the past decade, whites have continued to decline proportionately while Latino and Asian populations have increased. Thus, as the state’s leading redistricting expert, Paul Mitchell, has written, “it’s more likely than ever that the data will tell (the commission) there are more majority-minority districts that need to be drawn than ever in light of heightened segregation within our cities and counties.”

So on one hand, California officialdom says it wants to lessen segregation in housing, but on the other hand it wants to reinforce racial and ethnic segregation in legislative and congressional districts. That’s California in a nutshell.

letters to the editor

Let's try some positivity Jack Batson clearly identified all Republicans as scoundrels in his column dated Monday, July 5, 2021.

With that opinion clearly pontificated, I am hereby requesting that Mr. Batson think positively in his next column and clearly explain to us how and when the 10-year-old Democratic Party-controlled state government of California is going to finally adequately, or even minimally, address the continuing apathetic performance of the DMV; reverse the massive and continuous increase in homelessness; solve the colossal housing shortage by implementing the brilliant, 2019 California Democratic Party Marshall Plan to build 3.5 million homes by 2025; and clear the 150,000 unemployment claims that are more than three weeks overdue at the Employment Development Department that was identified as dysfunctional almost 10 years ago.

And last but not least, try to recover the billions of tax dollars that the EDD gave to unqualified prison inmates.

I ask that Mr. Batson please give us something positive.

Floyd Gripman Fairfield

Columnist’s facts wrong A July 5 column challenge by Jack Batson to justify GOP actions defending democracy with facts is accepted.

The allegations are not supported by historical facts.

Challenge No. 1. “. . . disenfranchise voters as the new George law is estimated to do.” Democrats have long complained that voter ID is suppression of minority voting, without supporting data. I am only aware of two states, Georgia and Kansas, that have published data, and both demonstrated minority voting increased when voter ID was implemented.

Perhaps increased integrity confidence? My Black friends are insulted by the inference that Blacks are too lazy or stupid to obtain ID. No. 2. “Some Republican legislatures have given themselves the power to overturn the election.” What powers? The Constitution controls and is unamended.

No. 3. “. . . defeated Electoral College shenanigans . . . value white votes more than Black or brown?” The Electoral College concept is unrelated to race.

Hillary Clinton superbly proved the Founders’ wisdom of assuring all demographic representation when her 2016 campaign only approached large population centers and ignored 80% of the country.

No. 4. “. . . filibuster, the vehicle of cordiality, but now a hammer to maintain minority rule.” Who is ham-

mering the Founders’ rule to ensure all voices are debated?

No. 5. Allegation of Sen. Mitch McConnell “. . . ignoring the Constitution.” What Constitution rule? I agree he could have called a vote that certainly would have rejected the liberal nominee, but not wasting Senate time with the debate and vote saved time with the same result.

No. 6. “. . . Supreme Court . . . gutting of the Voting Rights Act.” The court had no choice as the Act included discriminatory restrictions on selected states, that were no longer valid.

No. 7. “. . . bipartisan investigation of Jan. 6 . . .” The Senate and FBI have completed their investigations.

Bipartisan? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and (now) Sen. Chuck Schumer are ultimately responsible for Capitol security. Will Pelosi find a reason that she did not heed her Jan. 4-5 notification of warnings against the Capitol?

No. 8. “. . . find a precedent for (Republican) actions like this.”

Every increased protection (OK, no ballot harvesting is a new protection needed) for integrity has been exercised by some states since New Hampshire’s January 1776 Constitution. That is 245 years of precedent.

Earl Heal Vacaville

Batson off the mark Jack Batson, in his July 5, On the

Left column, predicts future Republican victories in 2022 and 2024.

The column is indicative of the total lack of self-awareness so common on the left. Rather than conduct any objective self-analysis of the current disastrous Democratic Party policies being pushed by its militant left, his column is filled with the typical leftist ad-hominin attacks on opponents, while failing to reference any actual facts.

Perhaps Mr. Batson would be more optimistic with regard to his party’s future if major cities long run

by Democratis Party leaders weren’t suffering from their current wave of rising crime and violence. Likewise, he fails to mention current Democratic Party policies that have given us open borders with hundreds of thousands crossing into our county every single month, the printing of trillions of dollars contributing to the highest inflation rate in 30 years, rising gas prices not seen since 2012, nonstop anti-police rhetoric, and Defense Department leadership seemingly more concerned with woke political issues than an aggressive Communist China building manmade islands in the South China Sea. (By the way, where is the left’s environmental outrage with regard to that?)

Mr. Batson predicts a future Republican victory. Here’s hoping this is one of the very few times he actually is right.

Toll From Page One Causeway and the Florida Turnpike.

The death toll in the partial collapse of the 12-story condo tower, the cause of which remains unknown, now stands at 86, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava told media Saturday morning.

Of the 86 victims, 62 have now been identified, most recently a 5-year-old child, a longtime Belen Jesuit employee whose husband and son also died in the collapse and a Paraguayan nanny who days before the collapse left her home country for the first time to travel to Surfside with her employers.

There are “potentially” 43 people still missing following what

Funds From Page One members have been contacted individually “to identify general funding categories.”

“If council decides to proceed with any of the initiatives or projects discussed in this report, staff will return to Council at a regularly scheduled meeting to appropriate funding,” the staff report states.

While there is considerable flexibility in what the funds can be used for by the city, there are some defined prohibitions, too, such as any changes that reduce net tax revenue.

Others no-nos, according to the staff report, are: n Acquisition of properties for rehabilitation or re-use that is not specifically for affordable housing. n Payments into a pension fund. n Debt service.

The council also wants to avoid duplication of services, look to leverage resources for community needs and use these federal dollars to fill gaps where other federal funding sources cannot be used, the staff report states.

The staff is recommending some of the funds be used toward the West Texas Complete Street Project. “ . . . it is critical that sewer and water infrastructure upgrades occur in advance of the roadway improvements. Delaying upgrades until after the street project is completed will result in additional costs. However, the city lacks the funding for such upgrades which are estimated to cost $3.1 million.

For this reason, staff is recommending the usage of ARPA funds to complete the (Heart of Fairfield) West Texas Street Relief Sewer Project,” the staff report states.

The staff is also specifically recommending $360,000 go toward “wildfire prevention in anticipation of another bad fire season.”

Other areas where the funds could be directed includes household assistance, including rent, mortgage, utility and

food assistance.

Additionally, funds can go toward student support such as learning services, tutoring, afterschool programs and support for “students’ social, emotional and mental health needs.”

“Should council wish to pursue funding for student services, staff would seek collaboration with community partners such as Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District and Solano County to develop a more focused plan and funding strategy,” the staff report states.

Internet access, creation of affordable housing, homelessness, technology and disaster readiness, and public safety services are other areas toward which the funds can be used.

The Rescue Plan dollars “can be used to fund the modernization of cybersecurity, including hardware, software and the protection of critical infrastructure,” the staff report states.

“In addition, technology costs that promote disaster preparedness in the city are eligible costs to the extent that city can demonstrate revenue loss.”

In general, the funds can be used to backfill government losses caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Other examples of eligible projects that are funded in the city’s Capital Improvement Program that would be eligible for ARPA funding include the Parks & Recreation Registration System replacement ($360,000) and the Land Asset Management Software implementation ($190,000).

Of course, the city could also choose to use funds toward homeless programs.

“This includes supportive housing and improved access to stable and affordable housing among unhoused individuals.

Additionally, funding for new and enhanced services related to behavioral and mental health services, including crisis intervention services are also covered by ARPA,” the staff report states.

From Page One temperatures.

“As long as it’s this hot and we have these low humidities, it’s kind of hard to tell when and where we’re going to catch this,” said Lisa Cox, information officer for the Beckwourth Complex Fire.

Fire crews were seeing group torching and long-range spotting as flames tore through timber stands, she said.

“That increases the velocity of the spread of the fire because the fire’s actually moving amongst the treetops,” she said.

“Basically, it just runs across the trees until it runs out of trees.”

Such intensity, combined with hot, dry, unstable conditions, can generate a thunderstorm cloud as the fire did Friday afternoon, when the incident meteorologist observed cloud-to-cloud lightning, Cox said.

So-called pyrocumulonimbus clouds can, in turn, make the fire spread even faster – in addition to lightning, they can create erratic, emberspitting winds.

“Yesterday, our operations staff was reporting spotting about a mile ahead of the main head of the fire,” Cox said.

P yrocumulonimbus clouds – as well as clouds, pyrocumulus which are similar but do not produce thunderstorms – tend to rise up in the afternoon when it is hottest and can pose an additional danger when they fall as things cool off.

“Later in the afternoon, that cloud will

Statue From Page One in black cloth following Heyer’s death, and politicians on both sides of the aisle cited the statue and what it had come to symbolize.

Following a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court of Virginia earlier this spring, the city of Charlottesville abruptly announced Friday it would remove the statues of Lee and Jackson. Officials said the statues will be placed in a “secure location” on city property for the time being.

“It’s about time,” said Rev. Brenda BrownGrooms, who was born and raised in Charlottesville and is now a pastor at New Beginnings Christian Community. The removal of the statues “means we are one step closer to accepting the historical fact of slavery and what it means for not just the people who were enslaved, but for those who were the enslavers.”

Early Saturday morning, a green crane

ent operations underway, Burkett explained. The first is the recovery effort to find victims at the original collapse site.

The second is rubble removal process around the section of the building that was demolished last Sunday.

The work is not only demanding of search crews, but also potentially hazardous, as Burkett said “a significant amount of dust” from the site continued to billow.

Levine Cava said Saturday that hazardous material technicians are “constantly sampling and monitoring” the air quality at the site, and all first responders working on the debris pile and in the surrounding areas are wearing proper protective gear, including masks.

When workers come off the debris pile, they are sprayed clean so as to avoid cross contamination.

“As you can see,

the debris pile is enormous,” Tony Trim, of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue’s Florida Task Force 1 Urban Search and Rescue Task Force, said in a video posted on the fire department’s Twitter Saturday. “There are 150 workers breaking and breaching concrete and steel.”

The video panned to workers using hand-picks and small tools to work through the debris, and then showed a line of workers in a staging area, wearing pink respirators.

The mayor said the crews are monitoring asbestos levels, but that none has showed up in tests.

The cause of the tragedy is still unknown and the renowned structural engineer hired to study the collapse told the Miami Herald Saturday that he does not “have any inkling right now on why this occurred.”

collapse and create a downdraft of heavy smoke, embers, things like that, and it can actually create additional fire behavior,” Cox said, noting that the collapse can fling sparks miles ahead of the main fire. At the same time, the smoke also reduces visibility, grounding firefighting aircraft, she said.

The extreme fire behavior has made it hazardous for hand crews to fight the fire directly.

“It’s too dangerous, at least during the day,” Cox said. “At night they can try to get around spot fires that form. It just really depends.” Crews have been prioritizing which spot fires to attack by conducting infrared flight mapping and then looking at where communities are at risk, she said.

Crews were doing more direct firefighting – digging a line around the fire with tools and by hand – on the southern flank, she said.

“But it’s definitely more dangerous of a tactic right now just because of how this fire’s behaving,” she said. “So we have a lot of indirect firefighting efforts happening too.

That includes bulldozer line construction around affected communities.”

Crews conducted strategic firing operations off the bulldozer lines overnight in a bid to control how fire enters the area, she said. They also constructed indirect dozer lines along the northeastern flank of the fire, closer to the border with Nevada, to try and protect homes in the Constantia Road area, she said.

Firefighters were being sent ahead of the fire to scout more contingency areas where

they could box the fire in, she said.

About 1,256 personnel were fighting the fire, including a robust air attack operation, Cox said. Still, the ferocity of this year’s fire – California season already has seen more than twice as many acres burn compared with the same time last year – was putting a strain on resources.

“Fire incidents from around the state are competing for resources, and it’s just hard to get all those qualified individuals to every incident to be fully staffed up,” she said.

“And that includes both our overhead management of the fire and crews on the ground.”

Dangerous conditions were expected to persist over the weekend, with the National Weather Service issuing an excessive heat warning that was in effect though Monday.

Temperatures in the lower valleys in the vicinity of the fire were forecast to reach anywhere from 100 to 106 degrees, said Dawn Johnson, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Reno.

That was a result of a huge area of high pressure centered over California, Nevada and Arizona that was producing an effect similar to the heat dome over the Pacific Northwest that generated record-breaking temperatures last month, Johnson said.

“You just get this feedback where it stays warm for several days,” she said.

Meanwhile, afternoon humidity has been bottoming out between 8% and 12% and creeping

up to only 25% to 30% overnight, while overnight temperatures have been staying warmer than usual, both of which also hamper firefighting efforts, Johnson said.

In fact, the air is so dry, some of the water and retardant being dropped by aircraft on the Sugar fire has been evaporating before it hits the ground, Cox said.

The fire was 70% contained at 490 acres Tuesday, four days after it started. By Wednesday morning, it had grown nearly fivefold, to 2,365 acres, and containment dropped to 28%.

Officials attributed the increase in fire activity to the heat that began intensifying midweek, which further baked droughtstressed vegetation and fostered the development of the giant smoke plume that helped the fire grow even more.

“It’s the temperatures that continuously dry out those fuels, and the low humidity,” Cox said. “It’s a cumulative synergistic effect.”

Winds also aligned with the topography of the canyons to drive fire growth further, she said.

There wasn’t word on whether the fire had destroyed structures.

Damage assessment teams were on order but hadn’t yet been able to conduct a review, Cox said.

The fire was less than two miles from U.S. 395 as of Saturday morning. Firefighters were trying to keep it west of the highway but said it could spot across.

Still, Cox said, the terrain in that area is flatter and the fuels lighter, so firefighters were confident they’d be able to gain the upper hand there.

lifted a pair of workers beside the Lee monument, which had stood on a pedestal in a downtown Charlottesville park since 1924. They tossed red pulls and chains over the Confederate general and around the horse’s legs.

Just after 8 a.m., the men in neon vests lifted the statue into the air, and a small crowd of residents began to cheer from the sidewalk.

Kevin Cox, 68, who whooped as it landed on the trailer, said he was glad to see Lee wheeled away.

“It symbolized one thing when it was put up, and it came to symbolize a more intense concentrated version of the same racism,” he said.

A few feet away, Lena Jones, a 63-year-old health-care worker and lifelong Charlottesville resident, said Saturday marked a major step forward in the city’s history – even if it was one that had taken too long.

“We just don’t need things in Charlottesville to intimidate some people,” she said, “because we all have to live together.”

Both the Lee and Jackson statues were commissioned about a century ago by Paul Goodloe McIntire, a stockbroker whose name is displayed on streets and buildings across town. Placed in the center of two grassy plazas, the figures of the Confederate generals rapidly became a backdrop for the city’s civic life.

Market Street Park – which had been named after Lee until recently – served as fairgrounds for annual festivals and a temporary resting spot for the homeless people who used a nearby day shelter.

Three blocks away, the horseback statue of Jackson stood yards from a local courthouse, where enslaved people had been bought and sold, and law offices for the attorneys who had argued to preserve the statues.

A plaque dedicated to McIntire in the corner of the park notes that the Jackson statue was erected “for the pleasure of all who pass by.”

But across the street on Saturday, William Taylor raised his camera to snap

pictures of workers chipping away at the base of the monument.

“I want to keep this thought forever,” the 54-year-old custodian said. As a crane hoisted the 7,000-pound figure, Taylor rolled his shoulders back. “It feels like a weight is coming off me too,” he added.

A friend of Heyer’s, he said he had last spoken to her the day before she was killed. When he heard the monuments would be coming down, he knew he had to make the hour-long drive over from Nelson County for her.

The Jackson statue was strapped moments later onto a flatbed with thick yellow bands, and Taylor kept snapping photos. He said he would share them with his sons, Xavier, 18, and Rico, 2, to show them how the city had righted the wrongs of August 2017.

“I’m feeling a little relieved, but there’s a long way to go,” he said.

“This is just the beginning of what needs to change in our society.”

1:30 a.m. on the morning of June 24.

The pace of finding victims has increased substantially since the demolition of the remaining part of the building nearly a week ago, as rescue workers have accessed a wider area.

Significant removal of the debris pile has freed up the space for rescuers to search areas they couldn’t get to before.

Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett told media Saturday that the pace of the operation makes it “very likely that the site will be clear sooner than expected.”

“The progress there remains intense,” he said.

“Much of the original pile is at ground level or below. “ Miami-Dade Fire Chief Alan Cominsky said he didn’t have a timeline for when the site will be cleared.

There are two differ-

Environmentalists sue to block demolition of state Capitol annex Tribune Content Agency SACRAMENTO – An environmental group said Friday it is suing several state agencies to block the demolition of the California Capitol annex, a warren of executive and legislative offices on the east wing of the statehouse that is scheduled to be overhauled in the next four years.

The Save the Capitol, Save the Trees coalition argues in its lawsuit that the California Department of General Services, the California Department of Finance and the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Rules must reconcile environmental review discrepancies in their plans to update the decades-old annex before demolition begins.

The Legislature in 2018 agreed to spend $1.2 billion to renovate the east side of the Capitol and build a new downtown office space for lawmakers to temporarily use during construction. The plan was part of a larger effort by former Gov. Jerry Brown to modernize state government buildings.

The group argues that since the Department of General Services released an original environmental review plan in 2019, changes to the project’s outline now include “previously-unforeseen environmental impacts.”

The coalition is fighting for a new analysis.

The complaint also alleges that the state agencies didn’t consider alternatives to bulldozing, and instead “generated bureaucratic and financial momentum” in favor of destruction, in viola-

The California State Capitol in Sacramento, Aug. 30, 2016. tion of environmental review standards. They said current plans, which include a modern, glass building with an underground parking garage and visitor’s center, would destroy a historically significant building and a variety of important trees that outline the annex.

“How tragic that after the Joint Rules Committee failed for decades to maintain and upgrade our world- recognized Capitol Annex, Californians are now asked to accept needless demolition to make it safe and useful again,” Richard Cowan, former chair of the Historic State Capitol Commission who has previously worked on Capitol restoration efforts, said in a statement. “We cannot allow it to happen when alternatives are feasible.”

A copy of the lawsuit shows it was filed in Sacramento Superior Court, but online court records haven’t yet been updated to verify that information.

Proponents of the project have long argued that the current annex

is an outdated and dangerous structure for legislators and staff to conduct the people’s business. According to the project’s website, the building is littered with hazardous material like asbestos and mold, and the hallways are so outdated that they violate American Disabilities Act rules.

“Maintenance of the current building’s antiquated and failing systems are costly, difficult to repair, and fail to provide the public with a safe and accessible venue to engage with their government,” Assemblyman Ken Cooley, a Democrat who has spearheaded the project’s plans, said in a previous statement.

“The annex project has emerged from consideration of these perils by three administrations and, as it puts dollars into the regional economy, it will specifically address these vital health, life safety, accessibility and security deficiencies.”

Cooley and the Department of General Services did not respond to Friday

requests for a comment on the lawsuit.

Lawmakers are still finalizing the new building’s blueprint. But a March presentation during a Joint Rules Committee hearing addresses ”park and tree preservation.” Some trees within the footprint of the construction, the presentation includes, would be protected, while others would be relocated. A “Frequently Asked Questions” document provided by the Legislature states the Joint Rules Committee is “actively working with arborists and landscaping experts to preserve as many trees as possible within and nearby the Annex Project footprint.”

The document also claims that the building cannot just be renovated because that would not fix fundamental structural flaws, and that lawmakers can’t stay in the swing space because that would increase “barriers for access by the public to lawmaking.”

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The Haitian government under acting Prime Minister Claude Joseph sent a letter to the Biden administration this week requesting the “urgent” deployment of troops to secure the country’s sea, air and oil ports, hours after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.

Haiti’s ambassador to the United States, Bocchit Edmond, delivered the letter after Joseph spoke with Secretary of State Antony Blinken Wednesday.

A similar letter was sent to the U.N. Integrated Office in Haiti, requesting troops to help secure the country in crisis and investigate Moïse’s killing.

Deputy Spokesman of the U.N. Secretary General Farhan Aziz Haq confirmed that the United Nations had received a letter requesting troops. “The sending of any force would be a matter for the Security Council to decide,” Haq told the Miami Herald.

The letters dated July 7, written in French and obtained by the Miami Herald, say the priority areas for troops would be port and airport security, security of oil terminals, transport of oil products and electoral security.

Troops would support “the urgent needs of the Haitian government on issues of security,” the letters said, reinforcing

U.S. officials said Friday they were responding to requests for “security and investigative assistance” by sending a delegation of FBI and Department of Homeland Security officials to Haiti, where they will assist in the Moïse probe and assess the security situation on the ground.

U.S. officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

“In response to the Haitian government’s request for security and investigative assistance, we will be sending senior FBI and DHS officials to Port-au-Prince as soon as possible to assess the situation and how we may be able to assist,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at a briefing Friday.

Mask use is still required Come prepared to wear a mask on board planes, in hotels and in businesses. Mask use is sometimes enforced in a fairly lax manner, as far as visitors go.

It is funny how few people seem to notice what is around them, even in a tropical paradise. The ubiquity of cellphones puts most people in their own small world, texting away at all times. I mourn the impending death of traditional conversation, which is on life-support.

Dietary habits change Over the decades, the obesity epidemic seems to have worsened in Mexico, as it has in the United States. The less economically privileged classes tend to be paradoxically more heavy, rather than undernourished. I saw a lady at a bus stop eating cake out of a carryout container.

The traditional dietary staples, including rice and beans, seemed to contribute less to this problem. The curse of fast food is taking over.

We befriended a lifeguard who had previously served in the Mexico marines. He shared with us the reality that visitors on occasion drown in the beach area, particularly if they get drunk and fall off of slippery rocks. If you are traveling to Mexico, just use common sense.

Mexico remains a fantastic destination I particularly like scrolling through myriad television stations, in Italian, French, English or German, all with Spanish subtitles. Even watching television can become an adventure.

How to take your dog on its first road trip Nevin Martell

Special to The Washington Post

I

thought I had it all figured out. I was planning our first post-pandemic family vacation, a weekend on Virginia’s Northern Neck near the Chesapeake Bay. I was crowing to my wife about the luxuries of the hotel where we would be staying, the activities we would be doing, and the details of what we would be eating at their two restaurants when she put up a hand.

“But is it petfriendly?” she asked.

My jaw dropped in shocked embarrassment.

Like countless American families, we recently got a pandemic pup, an affectionate and exuberant Australian labradoodle we dubbed Tuuli Waffles.

(If you’re wondering, her first name rhymes with Julie and means “wind” in Finnish.) She was definitely going to be a part of our excursion. Thankfully, the Tides Inn in Irvington, where we were headed, does allow dogs. Disaster averted!

That clarifying moment was the first of many reminders that for new dog owners traveling with their pets, trip planning and time away from home need to be approached with a completely new perspective.

After determining a hotel does allow furry friends, read its pet policy’s fine print. There may be a fee, vaccinations and name tags might be required, certain areas of the hotel may be out of bounds, and other stipulations may apply. It is likely that dog owners will need to sign a release of liability, and potentially a waiver stipulating you understand the house rules and agree to abide by them.

On a brighter note, the hotel might have special

Nevin Martell/The Washington Post

It is best to have your dog fully vaccinated before you head out into the world to ensure it is as protected as possible from other animals and new environments.

Make sure to bring copies of your dog’s vaccination record and any other necessary medical paperwork. I scanned copies of Tuuli’s and keep them easily accessible in a Dropbox folder. If you have pet insurance, read through your policy to see if it covers your pet when traveling. Some do, some don’t.

I recommend your dog wear a collar tagged with its name and your contact information. If your dog has a microchip, make sure all your information is correct and up to date.

Since we were driving

down to the hotel, we needed to familiarize Tuuli with being in the car – a must for anyone who wants to road trip with their canine companion. This acclimatization started two months earlier, as soon as we got her as an 8-week-old pup. At every opportunity, we brought her with us. Initially, she was uncomfortable with the experience. After the first week though, she became a calm passenger, usually shifting into nap mode soon after we hit the road.

It was helpful to have a travel carrier with a shoulder strap. My wife purchased one made by Sherpa, which clicks into the car to prevent shifting, and we could bring it up to our hotel room.

This way, we could keep her crated when she was alone (which a hotel may require).

That wasn’t our only new accessory. My wife geared us up for pet parenthood, so we brought a travel bag packed with collapsible bowls, food and treats, favored toys, and a leash. Another good addition: a stain- and odor-eliminating spray to deal with accidents.

With Tuuli vaccinated, comfortable with the car and properly provisioned, we felt we were all ready for our first vacation. My wife, son and I hit the road midday on a Friday in late June for our sojourn toward the Bay. We were immediately glad Tuuli was car-ready, because Google Maps indicated massive amounts of traffic on the route from our home in Silver Spring, Md. What was supposed to be a three-hour ride turned out to be a fourand-a-half-hour slog. We made regular stops, every one to two hours, to give

Tuuli a potty break, some water and a chance to stretch her legs. With an 8-year-old in the car and mind-numbing stop-andgo traffic clogging the road, we were all happy for the pit stops.

Upon our arrival, Tuuli found herself in heaven.

Our room was decked out with a large pet bed for her to lounge on, bowls for food and water, a chew toy and a fully loaded pet waste bag dispenser. The staff was probably more excited to see her than they were her human companions – not that I blame them. I was glad Tuuli has a loving disposition and is taking to her training well. When people came up to her, she happily reveled in their attention. My wife had her sitting obediently when we were checking in. Dogs that aren’t trained yet, or who spook around strangers, might not be ready for

a hotel visit. Consider how your pet will feel and the other guests’ experiences, then plan accordingly.

Though dogs were permitted in some areas of the hotel, others were off bounds. We planned our daily schedules to ensure Tuuli could be with us for large portions of the day and would have regular potty breaks and feedings, just as if she were at home. This way, she wouldn’t get knocked off her regular schedule.

For the times we couldn’t bring her – dinner, a landscape watercolor class and a kayaking trip with the resident biologist to learn about the Bay’s ecosystem – we made sure she wouldn’t be alone in the room for too long.

For all the planning and preparing for the trip, the one element I wasn’t prepared for was the number of people we met because of Tuuli. Whether we were passing through the lobby or taking her for a walk out on the lawn overlooking the marina, people seemed attracted to her. They would stop to ask her name or breed.

Some crouched down to give her a friendly pat.

Others bemoaned that their own pooch was at home. The most moving interactions were with folks who recently lost a pet and seemed to find some comfort by having a moment with Tuuli.

By the end of our vacay on Sunday, we were sunkissed and stress-free.

Tuuli was in good spirits, full of joyful energy and angling for as many tummy tickles as we were willing to give her.

Clearly, she enjoyed her time by the water. As we began the journey back and were recounting our favorite moments from the trip, she lay down in her carrier and promptly went to sleep.

The Apostle Paul will say But of course that raises the much the same thing about question, why is canceling that the church that transcends project the right thing to do? all racial, ethnic and national boundaries.

And what is my justification for

“There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus,” Paul writes in Galatians 3:28, perhaps the earliest of Paul’s writings in the New Testament.

Paul will say something similar in his letter to the Romans, perhaps the latest of his writing: “For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him,” (Romans 10:12; see also Colossians 3:11 and above all Ephesians chapter 2).

The New Testament could not be clearer: We who claim to follow the Risen Savior are Christians first and Americans second; our allegiance to the Risen Savior and His Kingdom must never be subordinated to serve the national interests of any country.

We saw how that worked out in the 1930s and 1940s, now didn’t we?

Garland’s long-lost ‘Oz’ dress turns up at Catholic college The Washington Post WASHINGTON — Nearly half a century ago, a story in Catholic University’s student newspaper described a “precious gift” bestowed on the school by Oscarwinning actress Mercedes McCambridge, then an artistin-residence in the university’s drama department.

Here was a rare piece of Tinseltown memorabilia, a farm girl’s blue gingham dress, one of several – though not many – worn by Judy Garland in her role as Dorothy Gale in the classic 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz.” It wasn’t quite the famed ruby slippers, but the garment was a fascinating artifact just the same.

Garland, “the lonely, tired entertainer, often spoke of college and how ‘it all could have been different’ if she had made it there,” the 1973 story said. In donating the outfit, McCambridge alluded to the drug and alcohol addictions that had led to her “close friend” Garland’s death, and

she hoped that the dress would be “a source of hope, strength and courage to the students,” as the reporter put it.

Well . . .

The precious gift got lost at some point, folded and placed inside a box like an old sweater and stuck away – eventually no one could remember where – in the drama department building on Catholic’s District of Columbia’s campus.

Over the decades, people talked about it from time to time, wondering whatever became of Dorothy’s dress, until the ancient wardrobe item, meant to inspire, became almost mythical.

Now it is found.

“As soon as I popped the top off the box, I knew what it was,” Matt Ripa said Thursday, sounding as proud as the mayor of Munchkinland. “I saw that blue gingham and I just started laughing and laughing. I mean, I’m still laughing. Because I was shocked, holding a piece of Hollywood history right in my hands.”

Barty wins first Wimbledon title after outlasting Pliskova Tribune Content Agency World No. 1 Ash Barty overcame a second-set hiccup as she defeated Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 6-3 on Saturday to become the first women’s Wimbledon champion from Australia in 41 years.

Barty, 25, emulated her idol Evonne Goolagong Cawley, who

won in 1971 and 1980, with victory in 1 hour, 55 minutes against 13thranked Czech Pliskova.

Barty wasted a 3-1 lead and failed to serve out the match at 6-5 in the second set before finally crying tears of joy after prevailing on first match point in what became a classy affair in front of an enthusiastic Centre Court crowd.

It was the second title at the majors for Barty, following success at the 2019 French Open, her fourth of the year and 12th overall. She is also the fourth woman in the Open era to win the senior title at the All England Club after junior victory, in 2011.

Pliskova fought back after the first set but remains without a Grand

Slam title, having also lost the 2016 US Open final to Angelique Kerber.

“I hope I made Evonne proud!” Barty said after receiving the Venus Rosewater dish from the Duchess of Cambridge.

“It took me a long time to verbalize the fact that I wanted to dare to dream and say that I wanted See Barty, Page B12

Robyn Stevens of Vacaville, right, celebrates after winning the women’s 20-kilometer race walk at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in Springfield, Oregon, June 26.

Her boyfriend, Nick Christie, a Fairfield native from San Diego who won the men’s 20K race, is at left. Both have qualified for Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Vacaville’s Robyn Stevens makes Olympic Games 17 years after eating disorder forced her to quit racing Elliott Almond MERCURY NEWS

Robyn Stevens has taken an improbable road to the Summer Olympics in the arcane sport of race walking.

It probably should never have happened – not 17 years after she quit competing at San Jose State because of an eating disorder.

“When I walked away in 2004 I did not see myself coming back,” Stevens said last week.

“I was done.”

Stevens, 38, qualified for the Tokyo Games on June 26 by winning the 20-kilometer race walk

in the U.S. Olympic trials in Springfield, Oregon.

With a winning time of 1 hour, 35.13 minutes, she became the first San Jose State woman to make a U.S. Olympic track team since discus thrower Margaret Jenkins in 1932.

Her boyfriend Nick Christie won the men’s 20K in Oregon to also earn an Olympic berth.

Racewalking has been an Olympic sport since 1908, although it wasn’t until 1992 in Barcelona that women made their debut. The sport has only two rules, the biggest of which is that walkers must have part of

one foot on the ground at all times. Losing contact with the ground is called “flying,” an infraction that is called by judges on the course and can lead to disqualification. Races are 20K (12.4 miles). There is a 50K event (31 miles) for men only.

The U.S. has never won a medal in the women’s competition; Larry Young is the only American medal-winner with bronzes in 1968 and 1972.

Stevens, ranked 54th in the world, isn’t likely to change that, but making it to the starting line on Aug. 7 in Sapporo at age 38 will be a

victory in itself.

The Vacaville High graduate looked like a potential Olympian for the 2004 Athens Games until she began suffering from eating issues in response to a weight gain during college.”I was starving myself and then binging and then trying to work out,” Stevens said of her situation at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, where she began her college career before transferring to San Jose State.

The National Eating Disorders Association estimates 30 million See Stevens, Page B7

Fairfield’s Jeff Wilson falls 2 shots shy of making cut at U.S. Senior Open Daily Republic staff SPORTS@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — Turns out Jeff Wilson’s back nine troubles in the first round of the U.S. Senior Open at Omaha (Neb.) Country Club were more than just a bump in the road.

After going 4-over-par over the final nine holes on Thursday, the Fairfield golfer was 7-over the same real estate, Friday, en route to nine-over 79 that left him with a two-round total of 149, missing the cut by two shots.

Wilson’s luck was a little better over the front nine, though his birdies on the first and seventh holes were overshadowed by bogeys on the fourth and eighth holes and a double bogey on the fifth.

The only bright spots on the back nine were pars on the 12th, 15th and 17th holes with bogeys on the other six.

Wilson finished Thursday’s first round tied for 16th at even-par 70.

SAN FRANCISCO — The season that Brandon Crawford has enjoyed so far in 2021 can now easily be considered among the most productive for any Giants player his age since the club moved to the Bay Area more than 60 years ago.

Crawford went 3 for 3, including a solo home run in the sixth inning, and finished with three RBIs to help lift the Giants to a 10-4 win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday at Oracle Park.

Austin Slater, Joey Bart and Thairo Estrada all had at least two hits as the Giants won their third straight game and ensured that they’ll enter next week’s All-star break in sole possession of first place in the National League West.

The Giants entered Saturday with a twogame lead over the second-place Los Angeles Dodgers, and Sunday’s season finale with the Nationals is their last before the break.

Crawford now has 18 home runs and 58 RBIs this season. Of every San Francisco Giant aged 34 or older, only Barry Bonds had more RBIs by the All-Star break than

Crawford. Bonds had 73 RBIs in 2001 when he was 36 and 63 in 2003 when he was 38.

With his three RBIs on Saturday, Crawford, who turned 34 in January, eclipsed the first halves Bonds had in 2000 and 2002, and the first half of the season Willie Mays had in 1966 when he was 35. Those years, Bonds and Mays had 57 RBIs by the All-Star break.

The Giants finished with 14 hits as they scored three runs in the first inning, all unearned, and five more in the third, making short work of Nationals starter Jon Lester.

Lester didn’t make it out of the third inning as he allowed nine hits and three earned runs.

The Giants made him throw 29 pitches in the first inning, all but ensuring a short outing for the five-time all-star. Lester, who nearly signed with the Giants as a free agent in 2014 before he joined the Chicago Cubs, threw 80 pitches, with just 46 for strikes.

Meanwhile, Giants starter Anthony DeSclafani continued his torrid stretch, allowing just three hits over six shutout See Giants, Page B7

Struggling A’s break through in extra innings for 8-4 win against Rangers Tribune Content Agency The Oakland A’s and Texas Rangers took this bitter series into an extrainning battle on Saturday in Arlington, Texas.

The A’s are struggling with runners in scoring position, but not Jed Lowrie. His .397 average with runners in scoring position came in handy with the game in the 11th inning when he singled home designated runner Elvis Andrus and a wild pitch scored Matt Olson to give the A’s a 6-4 lead.

Stephen Piscotty created some breathing room with a two-run blast to secure the A’s 8-4 win.

The Rangers greeted James Kaprielian with back-to-back home runs from All-Star Adolis Garcia and Home Run Derby participant Joey Gallo to give the Rangers an early 2-0 lead in the first inning. The two home runs added to the five col-

lective home runs the pair have hit off Kaprielian in his three starts against the Rangers.

The A’s answered with back-to-back home runs of their own. Sean Murphy and Seth Brown hit a pair the second inning to tie the game.

Brown’s home run traveled 472 feet, the A’s longest-hit home run since Matt Olson hit a home run 475 feet in 2018.

The A’s collected five hits off Rangers starter Mike Foltynewicz, the first three were solo home runs. Lowrie’s home run in the fourth gave the A’s a 3-2 lead.

Brown and Lowrie also doubled to lead off the sixth and seventh innings, respectively. Brown was stranded on third after Skye Bolt advanced him on a fly out, but Tony Kemp popped and Ramón Laureano flew out.

Giants: Big win From Page B6 innings. DeSclafani had six strikeouts before he gave way to Tyler Beede, who allowed three earned runs in the seventh inning in his first appearance since

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, July 11, 2021 B7

Sept. 26, 2019.

DeSclafani is now 7-1 in his last eight starts since May 28.

San Francisco’s first game after the AllStar break is Friday in St. Louis.

From Page B6 released late last week with the Expos scheduled to open against the Nevada State champion, consistently a pre-tournament favorite, in the first round on Aug. 4 at 7 p.m.

“You can see we have the toughest first-game draw,” Expos manager Brad Hanson said. “Las Vegas always wins Nevada and we got them right off the bat. It will be exciting.”

Other first round games between state champions feature Utah against Hawaii at 9:30 a.m., Arizona against New Mexico at 12:30 p.m., and Texas against California at 4 p.m.

There will be four games on Aug. 5, three on Aug. 6, two on Aug. 7 and one or two on Aug. 8.

The tournament winner advances to the American Legion World Series to be held Aug. 12-17 in Shelby, North Carolina.

The Expos also host the Area 1 Tournament at Laurel Creek Park starting on Wednesday.

The 10-team event features five days of round robin play with the Expos opening against Yolo Post 77 on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

They are then scheduled to play the Chico Nuts on Thursday at 10 a.m., the Siskiyou Spirits on Saturday at 7 p.m. and Yuba-Sutter on Sunday at 7 p.m.

The semifinals are July 19 at 4 and 7 p.m., the championship game on July 20 at 7 p.m.

Expos top Santa Rosa on Carver’s walk-off single, 4-3 FAIRFIELD — Alex Carver singled in Ryan Kariolich with one out in the bottom of the ninth to give the Fairfield Expos American Legion baseball team a 4-3 walk-off victory over a team from Santa Rosa at Laurel Creek Park, Thursday.

Kariolich led off the ninth with a double and was sacrificed to second

by Cy Dempsay. After Kaden Wilde was hit by a pitch, Carver singled to left center to provide the winning run.

The Expos trailed 2-0 until the bottom of the seventh when they pushed across three runs. David Abilez singled in Aaron Strong and Eli Blurton, and after Dempsay’s first sacrifice in the game, Wilde doubled in Abilez.

Santa Rosa tied the game with a run in the top of the ninth, setting up the Expos’ heroics in the bottom of the frame.

Strong led Fairfield’s nine-hit attack by going 2-for-3.

Drew Carrington started and largely battled through wildness, allowing two runs on two hits while walking five and fanning two in five innings. Grant Kerr went the rest of the way, allowing one run on four hits with four strikeouts and three walks to get the win.

Fairfield Expos 15, Yolo Post 77 3: At Woodland’s Clark Field on Wednesday, the Expos couldn’t score in the ninth inning but it didn’t matter as they scored at least one run in each of the first eight frames.

Bryce Dichoso and Wilde each had two hits with the former driving in three runs and the latter two as well as doubling and getting hit by a pitch.

Six of the seven other starters had at least one hit with Peyton Olds and Reilly Ramirez each hitting a double and Dempsay plating two runs.

Gabe Ponce allowed one run on five hits over the first five innings to get the win, striking out four and walking one.

Stevens: Returned to race walking in ’14 From Page B6 Americans suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their lives. Elite women athletes in endurance sports such as running have a higher risk of developing problems.

“In the world of competitive sport where you have individuals who are achievement-oriented, they’ll pretty much do anything to get that gold medal,” said Katherine A. Beals, an associate professor of nutrition at the University of Utah.

Stevens said she had no one to talk to about her condition while at Parkside. She returned to California to get support.

She told her former youth coach in Solano County: “What I am doing to my body might end up killing me.”

Stevens transferred to San Jose State for the 2003 cross-country season while continuing to struggle with the condition.

Stevens said she survived on two ice cream cookie sandwiches a day because it cost her only $3 and provided the 2,000 calories she thought she needed.

During this period a San Jose State teammate confided to Stevens that she had eating issues.

The teammate even told Stevens about a product she used to make herself vomit.

Stevens did not tell the teammate about her own trauma, or how after binging she would

struggle to vomit to purge the food.

But she bought the expectorant the same day her friend mentioned it.

Stevens has since learned she suffered from the early stages of the female athlete triad, a combination of disordered eating, the absence of menstruation and osteoporosis that can result in lifelong health issues.

By early 2004, she had decided to stop the induced vomiting because it caused so much pain.

But she took the drug one more time after a cross-country race in which she posted disappointing times.

Two days later, Stevens said, race walker Al Heppner killed himself by jumping off a bridge in San Diego County after failing to make the 50K Olympic team.

“He just gave up on himself,” she said.

Stevens realized her mental state might resemble Heppner’s.

“I’m no different,” she thought at the time “I’m not focused on winning anymore. I’m just focused on getting skinny.”

Stevens called her mom to say she was done with competitive sport because it had become a toxic environment. She’d finish out the season with SJSU and then quit.

“I hate myself and I hate food,” she told her mother. “How do I live?”

Beals, the author of “Disordered Eating Among Athletes,” said some of the root causes of the problem come from the pressure to be thin, to

be faster and an awareness of body image with the type of skimpy uniforms women distance athletes often wear.

“You put that kind of pressure on a female athlete and I’m surprised they’re not all suffering from disordered eating,” said Beals, a retired triathlete.

Stevens struggled for years to feel good about herself although the condition never required hospitalization or clinical help.

She worked multiple jobs to pay for college, earning an art degree in 2007. The dangerous behavior of starving, binging and overtraining to purge the food did not stop when she left the SJSU cross-country team.

Stevens said she still suffered for years, including symptoms of body dysmorphia.

“Every time I looked in the mirror I would cry,” she said.

By the time Stevens was well enough to train again, the Olympics was no longer on her mind. This time, she did it for fun.

A friend persuaded Stevens to enter a 20K race walk in 2014 in Sacramento. She not only competed, but she qualified for the 2016 U.S. Olympic trials, surprising even herself in just her second race at that length.

After the success of qualifying for the Olympicscame Stevens’ concern that a return to full-time competition could also bring a return to her health issues.

“I don’t know if I’m a good match” for racing, she said. “If I was going to return to it I needed to know it would be a healthy relationship and wouldn’t cause abuse again.”

Stevens kept the idea at arm’s length until competing in the 2015 Pan American Race Walking Cup in Chile.

The pull was too strong. Stevens loved racing. She made the 2016 World Team championships but suffered a calf strain about a month before the Olympic trials, where she finished 11th.

The disappointing experience motivated Stevens to try for the Tokyo Games. She wanted to race in at least one U.S. trials while healthy. But it didn’t seem feasible because race walkers must support themselves financially.

Stevens was ready to forget her dream until the owner of the Campbell tax firm where she worked suggested she dedicate the next four years to race walking.

She quit the day job to give the sport one more shot.

Stevens said she cried the day before the race in Oregon remembering all the people who helped her over the past two decades.

Some of those tears also represented how she found her way back from the darkness, almost two decades after she first qualified for Olympic trials.

“This athletic version of me is the best I’ve ever been,” Stevens said.

Air Force makes more rights available for housing tenants

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas — The Department of the Air Force is implementing the remaining four rights for housing tenants including a universal lease, a process to resolve disputes with property owners and procedures for withholding rent when applicable.

The Department of Defense issued policy guidance in February 2021 on the implementation and timing of the remaining four provisions of the Tenant Bill of Rights, which expands protection measures for military families living in privatized housing. Along with the universal lease and dispute resolution process, the Tenant Bill of Rights ensures access to unit maintenance history, and establishes a process to withhold rent payment while in formal dispute resolution.

With a few exceptions, the Air Force expects all 18 tenant rights to be available to tenants in all Air and Space Force housing programs by the end of Fiscal Year 2021.

The expanded rights protect tenants and offer recourse if their housing concerns are not adequately addressed, said Col. Sara Deaver, Air Force Civil Engineer Center Housing Division chief.

“Empowering tenants and amplifying their voice is at the heart of the department’s comprehensive plan to improve the privatized housing program,” Deaver said.

“The Tenant Bill of Rights is our assurance to our Air Force and Space Force families that we recognize their rights and their needs as tenants, and that those needs are our top priority.”

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — “Now that’s a downright sprint right there; that’s amazing!” a master of ceremonies yells into the microphone as Capt. Jamie Navarro, 60th Surgical Group Command Squadron charge nurse, carries 165 pounds in each hand at the U.S. Strongman Nationals competition, June 5, 2021, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Navarro, a 36-year-old Phoenix native, has been competing in strongman competitions since 2017. The Marine Corps veteran served as a truck driver, deployed for 13 months in 2006 and separated after eight years of service.

She then went to school to become a nurse and to get back in shape, she used CrossFit. Around this time, she was tinkering with the idea of commissioning in the Air Force to serve again.

“I was first introduced to strongman in a CrossFit gym,” she said. “I remember seeing people push trucks and flip tires thinking, ‘Oh, I’m not strong enough to do that.’ I went out there and pushed the truck . . . my legs felt like Bambi legs after, but I did it.”

Since then, Navarro has competed in many strongman competitions, even winning two.

She won Arizona Strongest in 2020 before the Covid-19 pandemic and California Strongest earlier this year.

However, her goal was to compete in an international event and to do so, Navarro would need to place in a nationals show – she did on June 5, placing second.

“To actually place at a national show . . . it’s what I’ve been working for,” she said. “A lot of times when you compete, you look at your mistakes and you look at what you could have done better, but in this one, this was my best – I’m really proud of myself. I’m walking away with my head held high saying, ‘I did good.’”

Navarro credits her children and gym family for keeping her motivation and drive high.

“The blood, sweat and tears that I’ve shed for my sport is to be a role model for my kids . . . to show them what it means to be dedicated to something.”

Navarro explained that on days where she didn’t want to show up or wanted to slack off, that’s where her gym family played the biggest role.

“My gym family will always be there to give me that extra push to get through my workouts when it’s tough, hold me accountable and remind me of what my goals are,” she said. “This is love and support at its finest.”

Preparing for competition is more than daily workouts. To be competition ready, Navarro needed a strict workout and diet to which she credits her trainer, Alan Thrall of Untamed Strength, and nutritionist, Tyler Bedson of Built

by Bedson for helping her prepare. They would give her specific workouts and a diet to follow for weeks, leading up to nationals.

The U.S. Strongman Nationals consists of competitors of the same weight class competing in multiple categories – Navarro competed in the 132-pound weight class.

The competition consisted of five events: a log-axle press medley where competitors had to press a 140-pound

hand for a total distance of 100 yards; a timed sandbag carry medley where competitors carry a 165-pound keg for 50 yards, sprint back and return with a 150-pound sandbag; a timed atlas stone series where com-

petitors pick up and carry a 150-pound, 175-pound and 205-pound stones over a tall bar.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Sunday, July 11, 2021 B9

KC-46 reaches 5K-sortie milestone Air Mobility Command Public Affairs SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. — Airmen from McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, completed the celebratory 5,000 KC-46A Pegasus sortie June 30, 2021.

To date, the Pegasus has off-loaded more than 21.8 million pounds of gas across more than 19,700 positive contacts since the delivery of the Air Force’s first KC-46 to McConnell AFB on Jan. 25, 2019.

“KC-46 aircrew and maintainers have been getting after it – they’re testing, evaluating and becoming experts on the platform,” said Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost, Air Mobility Command commander. “Every single

sortie along the way is a stepping stone on the right path toward a fullyoperational KC-46.”

Crews have flown over 5,000 sorties, with more than 2,500 missions executed during the 2021 calendar year.

Nearly 1,000 of those missions supported testing and joint force operational taskings around the world.

“With the increasing daily capacity to meet Joint and service air refueling demands, the KC-46 is rapidly employing capabilities, especially in boom and drogue air refueling,” said Brig.

Gen. Ryan Samuelson, AMC Deputy Director of Strategic Plans, Requirements and Programs and KC-46 Cross Functional Team Lead.

The thousands of sorties are integral to informing the conditions-based, limited operational use of the KC-46 announced by AMC in February 2021.

KC-46 in January 2019.

The KC-46A is designed to boost the air power and mobility operations of the Air Force.

The high-capacity aircraft, which displaces the KC-10 Extender and replaces the KC-135 Stratotanker, will aid global missions and improve the ability to respond rapidly to crises and contingency operations around the globe.

Travis was selected as the West Coast home for the Pegasus in January 2017 for several reasons: geographic location, existing tanker programs and better infrastructure capacity, according to Gary Thresher, contract support, managing Travis’ projects for the Air Force Civil Engineer Center.

The approach incrementally certifies mission sets in order to expand tanker capacity in support of joint force operational taskings.

This approach, once

implemented, will enable the aircraft and crews to accept operational taskings from U.S. Transportation Command that would otherwise be filled by heavily-tasked KC-135s, legacy KC-10s and other mobility assets.

Construction continues at Travis Air Force Base for a new three-bay hangar to serve as the base of operations for the new KC-46A Pegasus.

Travis Air Force Base is scheduled to receive this latest air mobility platform in August 2023. It’s the first new aircraft at the base since August 2006.

Travis’ anticipated complement of 24 KC-46s is expected by the first quarter of 2025.

What appreciates what an incredible am I to do? Please help. — person it sounds like you are.

Horoscopes

Best of luck to you.

Dear Annie: You published a letter from “Customer Etiquette” about a client who made a three-hour hairdressing appointment and then didn’t show. Her excuse was that she “forgot.”

My father, a psychoanalyst, always said, “You only forget what is forgettable.” If Brad Pitt invited her for supper, I doubt she’d forget it, but the hairdresser’s time is expendable.

Sometimes, it’s a good idea to ask people to define what they mean by “forget.”

Usually, people cannot answer for the simple reason that “I forgot” has become a one-size-fits-all excuse.

Respect for other people’s time is something I learned in junior high. The class was to go somewhere at a fixed time.

When we got up to leave, one student wasn’t ready. While he got his act together, the teacher looked at his watch and then said, “Smith, you will have a 50-minute detention.”

When asked why, the teacher explained that there were 25 students and he had kept them waiting for two minutes.

Simple arithmetic.

Obviously, the client had never accepted that other people’s time is just as important as hers. I believe the word is “narcissism.” — Annoyed by Inconsiderate People Dear Annoyed: You make many good points, and I especially like your Brad Pitt example. Read on to see some solutions from another salon.

Dear Annie: If we don’t hear from a client by their appointment time, we proceed without

them. Fifteen minutes after the appointment time, we start taking walk-ins or other appointments.

If and when the no-show arrives, she waits her turn just like any other walk-in. This usually cures the “forgetfulness.” If she goes to another salon, we count that as a win for us and a loss for the other salon.

We are professionals, and we expect to be treated as such.

Clients only respect us as much as we respect ourselves. Your good clients do not “forget.” — Not Playing That Game Dear Not Playing That Game: Thank you for your letter. Sounds like a sensible solution.

Today’s birthday Artist Robert Zend suggested, “There are too many people in the world and too few human beings.” This is your talent – a humanity that shines so bright it draws out the best aspects of the human spirit in all your interactions. And you’ll connect with so many! Your inner circle of love will fortify and delight you. Scorpio and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 22, 15, 38 and 4.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is easier to learn something new than to unlearn something old. Focus on creating new patterns of mind and body to release unwanted ones, which will grow weak with neglect.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your attitude is coated with an outlaw sheen. You still try for the best possible outcome, even when your purposes are to disrupt.

You can’t go wrong striving to rise to the potential of the situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll focus on fixing things. You’ll focus on doing what’s within your control, which is more than you think. Don’t let yourself get sucked into dwelling on the problem – too easy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Like the master perfumer who extracts the essence of a flower field to a concentration of fragrant delight, you extract the essence of a bouquet of influences to make something wonderful and meaningful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Creating shared spaces where people want to relax, collaborate and connect is one of the talents you’ll hone in the days to come. It’s amazing what casual counters can do for everyone’s creativity and productivity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are numerous benefits to increasing your sense of connection. For starters, the more conversations you have, the more money you make – though it’s not the best thing that comes of a mission of outreach.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When presented with a menu, choosing is easy. But the best things in life aren’t on a menu.

They’re found when you poke around, ask questions, tease the truth out or command yourself to wake up to the full array of options.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are the dreamer now – curious, adventurous and ready to try new things. Is it realistic? That is to figure out on a different day.

Are you focused? Yes – widely so, as the details don’t matter yet.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Pore repeatedly over the big chaotic picture. This stuff sorts itself. Redundancies and undesirable aspects jump ship as important elements hitch a ride on the rocket.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re not controlling across the board, but when you have a feeling someone isn’t going to do the job the right way, you’ll bring your own methods to bear. The rituals and routines that have served you well will work once more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be energized and refreshed around others, and you don’t mind the least if they seem to need a lot of attention from you or they claim you as the audience for their opinions. You do, however, have your limits.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You like your privacy and will share far less of yourself than others around you tend to do. You might be surprised to know who is drawn into your mystery.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Alessia Cara has spoken about her experiences with synesthesia, a sensory phenomenon intertwining the perception of different senses. The extra dimensions of this neurological condition can be gloriously artistic, as can the soulful waters of her Cancer sun sign. Listen up for Cara’s vocal talents, both acted and sung, in the critically acclaimed animation “The Willoughbys.”

How to keep children safe this summer

Avoid sunburn by applying sunscreen of SPF 15 or greater every 30 minutes while your child is outside.

Dr. Tami Hendriksz

S

Special to the Daily Republic

ummertime brings opportunities for children to get a break from their classrooms (virtual and in-person) and enjoy more free time. It’s important to take steps to ensure that our children are safe and healthy while they are indoors and outdoors this summer.

Many children have spent more time than ever in front of a screen due to virtual/online learning this year.

Encourage them to take a break from their screens and engage in different activities. They can get creative with drawing, coloring and writing stories or comic books. Reading and making up dance routines are also great ways for kids to pass the time. Ensure that children are closely supervised if they are developing their cooking skills and using knives, the stove, the oven or the microwave.

When taking kids to enjoy the great outdoors, it is important to be sun smart. Apply sunscreen of SPF 15 or greater every 30 minutes while your child is outside. Don’t forget to protect their nose, lips, ears and the tops of

their feet. A hat and sunglasses can help provide additional protection from harmful UV rays. Remember, those UV rays are most harmful and strongest during the middle of the day, so plan for indoor activities during that time or find a place with nice cool shade to spend those hours.

Children will also need to drink more water than usual during the summer due to increased activity and the warmer weather. Encourage them to bring their reusable water bottle with them wherever they go and refill it often.

Finally, water safety is vitally important if children are going to be engaged in water activities. Drowning is the leading cause of injury and death in children aged 1 to 14 years.

Remember that drowning happens quietly, quickly and can occur in a small amount of water. Teach children to swim, always have them wear life jackets when they are in and around natural bodies of water (even if they are good swimmers), and closely supervise all kids when they are in and around water.

Help prevent water illnesses by

keeping urine, feces and other substances out of the swimming area.

Have your children take bathroom breaks and check diapers every hour.

That’s a great time to apply additional sunscreen, too.

Although the Covid-19 pandemic is improving, it is still important to abide by public health recommendations to help keep your children free from infection. If your child is 12 years or older, they can receive the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccination to help keep them protected. If they are not vaccinated, then ensure that your children are wearing masks/face coverings when they are in close proximity to other unvaccinated people. Being outdoors and in areas with good aeration helps to decrease the spread of Covid, as does frequent hand washing.

By following all these tips your children can enjoy a fun, safe and healthy summer vacation.

Barty: Major win From Page B6

A’s: Lowrie hits 18th double of season From Page B6 Lowrie was stranded after recording his 18th double of the season, against Foltynewicz. With one out and Rangers reliever Taylor Hearn in, Brown swung in a 3-0 count and made hard contact, but flew out center in the unproductive inning.

The A’s stranded two more runners in the eighth after Kemp was hit by a pitch and Laureano singled up the middle. But Andrus hit into a double play, moving Kemp to third, but Olson struck out to strand him. The A’s went 0 for 8 with runners

Kaprielian departed after five innings, his four walks allowed an indication of his imperfect command. But Kaprielian worked through traffic; those two home runs were the only Rangers that crossed home. Kaprielian and the A’s pitched around Gallo after his home run – Kaprielian got Gallo to hit into a 3-5-3 double play before his exit.

Jake Diekman issued walks to left-handers Nate Lowe and Gallo and surrendered the game-tying single to former Athletic Jonah Heim. Lou Trivino took over with runners

first on an error and Skye Bolt put down a sacrifice bunt that did not score a run, but advanced both runners. Jacob Wilson, pinch hitting for Kemp in his first big league at-bat, popped out on the first fastball he saw.

The Rangers tied it up again in the bottom of the inning against J.B. Wendelken. Garcia advanced the runner at second and the A’s intentionally walked Gallo. Heim reached first on Wilson’s error at second, his glove flip to Andrus at second for the force out just a halfsecond late, scoring the run from third anyway.

“I saw her having some difficulties, and I saw her companion helping her out,” Ross told the San Francisco Chronicle.

“Then I just started watching, making sure that she was OK, and I went over just to chat, and she couldn’t talk, she needed help. She had three pieces of hot dog lodged in her airway.”

to win this incredible tournament. It’s better than I ever could have imagined.”

Pliskova said: “I enjoyed every minute on the court. She was playing a great tournament. I fought very hard but she played very well.”

Barty beat Kerber in the semis on Thursday, and as in the previous matches again paid homage to Goolagong Cawley with a similar dress to that worn by the past champion.

She started on fire, winning the first 14 points as she raced off to a 4-0 lead in 11 minutes.

A few unforced errors from the Australian finally put Pliskova on the scoreboard in the next game, which helped her settle but it was too late to salvage the set.

Pliskova led for the first time after the opening game of the second, but in what was now a hard-hitting see-saw battle, fell behind 3-1 and then fought back to lead 4-3.

In the 11th game, Pliskova led 40-0 before she netted what appeared to be an easy volley at the

net with the court wide open after a stunning rally. Barty seized the momentum and broke for 6-5 to earn the right to serve out the match.

But Pliskova fought back yet again, forcing the tiebreak where she won five points in a row and pulled even on a Barty double fault.

Barty was undeterred and broke in the second game, when Pliskova netted an easy volley, en route to a 3-0.

She didn’t relinquish the advantage this time around and wrapped up matters after saving a final break point from Pliskova, getting to match point with an ace and sinking on her knees in delight after a final error from Pliskova.

Barty said she told herself “to keep fighting” after the second set, adding: “Karo is an exceptional player. I was really proud of myself in the way that I was able to reset, keep on going and hold my nerve there at the very end.”

Another Australian legend, Rod Laver, tweeted: “So happy for you Ash Barty, your dream comes true and what a fight. Congratulations on your Wimbledon victory.”
