A2 S ATU R DAY , AU G U S T 7, 2021 S LAT IMES. C OM PERSPECTIVES Northwest heat wave took heavy toll Scores of the region’s most vulnerable died in a harsh wake-up call about climate change By Gillian Flaccus PORTLAND, Ore. — Karen Colby thought she could make it through an unprecedented Pacific Northwest heat wave with a little help from her neighbor, who dribbled cold water on her head and visited every hour to wrap frozen towels around her neck. But when the temperature in her tiny fifth-floor studio soared to 107 degrees, Colby stopped responding to questions and couldn’t move from her recliner to her walker. The friend called an ambulance, and Colby, 74, wound up hospitalized for 10 days because of heatstroke. “We had just survived the coronavirus and had been in complete lockdown. We were basically in jail here,” said Joel Aslin, Colby’s longtime friend who lives in the same apartment complex for lowincome Portland residents who have a disability or are older than 62. “We did everything right and she survived,” Aslin said, “and then we had that stupid heat wave and that almost took her life.” The record-smashing heat that swept through cities from Portland to Vancouver, Canada, at the end of June silently killed scores of the region’s most vulnerable who could not leave their homes, afford air conditioning or get a ride to public cooling centers. Consecutive days of temperatures as high as 116 degrees in Portland made a folly of years of planning for more anticipated emergencies such as earthquakes and snowstorms — and it was only as the disaster unfolded that authorities gained a sense of how devastating it would ultimately be. Emergency rooms overflowed, 911 calls spiked, and death reports rolled in. The crisis was a wake-up call for the normally temperate Pacific Northwest about what lies ahead with climate change and was a harsh lesson in how unprepared the region was, particularly when it comes to those living on society’s margins. The median summer Gillian Flaccus Associated Press PORTLAND RESIDENT Karen Colby listens as her friend Joel Aslin recounts how he called an ambulance for her when she had heatstroke as the temperature reached 107 in her apartment during the June heat wave. temperature in Oregon could increase as much as 10 degrees by the end of the century, according to the Climate Impact Lab, and extreme weather events such as heat waves will become more frequent. “The really important and complex point is that places that are already hot — and are going to get hotter — are already adapted. They have air conditioning and they have homes built for wind to flow through,” said Alan Barreca, an associate professor at UCLA’s Institute of Environment and Sustainability. “Definitely the Pacific Northwest is not used to those temps,” he said, “and so they’re more vulnerable.” Authorities in Portland spent days leading up to the heat wave warning the public, calling and texting hundreds of the most vulnerable, dispatching volunteers with thousands of bottles of water and opening roundthe-clock cooling centers. Still, it was not enough to prevent what officials labeled a mass casualty event. Although nobody is certain exactly how many died, officials have estimated that the number is in the hundreds in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia combined. In Oregon, officials say 83 people died of heat-related illness, and the hot weather is being investigated as a possible cause in 33 more deaths. The state of Washington reported at least 91 heat deaths, and officials in British Columbia say hundreds of “sudden and unexpected deaths” were probably due to the soaring temperatures. Most of the Oregon deaths occurred in Multnomah County, home to Portland, where the average victim was white, lived alone and was 70 years old. There were more heat deaths in Portland in June than in the entire state over the last 20 years, authorities said. Cassie Sorenson, who heads a nonprofit that does free grocery shopping and delivery for the homebound, said her group’s phone lines were swamped by desperate clients in need of an air conditioning unit or a ride to a cooling center. “We have clients who are bed-bound or chair-bound on their couches, and they were home in the heat until ‘home in the heat’ became a medical emergency and they were in an ambulance taking them to the hospital. It was a bit of a helpless feeling,” said Sorenson, who runs Store to Door. The crisis also exposed gaps in planning that stymied those seeking transportation to cooler locations. Leading up to the heat wave, officials publicized the number of a statewide call center that could direct people to cooling centers or help them get rides — but it was unstaffed for more than 24 hours during the peak heat, which fell on a weekend. More than 700 callers gave up on hold or in the voicemail system as temperatures hit 112 degrees; it’s unclear how many needed rides or what happened to them. Portland’s famed light rail system also shut down during the worst heat to reduce strain on the power grid, eliminating one transportation option for low-income people seeking relief. And many homeless people didn’t want to leave their belongings or pets behind to go to a cooling shelter, advocates said. “This is great that we’re having a conversation around cooling centers, but what are we doing around people who can’t get there? Those are the people who are literally dying,” said Sorenson, who has been involved in discussions about how Portland can improve. When a shorter and less intense heat wave struck last weekend, authorities applied some of the easiest lessons. Many more cooling centers opened, buses were free for people headed to those facilities, and the statewide call center was staffed 24/7. It included a new option high in the voicemail menu for information on cooling centers. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown activated an emergency coordination center, making more resources available to tribes and local governments, and authorities held a news conference to urge each resident to check on five people during the peak heat. “We hadn’t experienced an event like that before, so we were working off potential impacts,” said Andrew Phelps, director of Oregon Emergency Management. “Now, we understand just how deadly these events can be, especially in our urban centers.” Yet the longer-term solutions needed to prepare the Pacific Northwest for its future climate require much bigger fixes: revising building codes to require air conditioning, installing heat-repelling sidewalks in cities, and providing subsidies so lower-income residents can afford air conditioning. Authorities also are looking at using an existing emergency alert system that would send a phone notification or landline message to warn people in real time as temperatures spike, said Dan Douthit, spokesman for the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management. An “earthquake is a big, looming hazard for Portland, but globally, heat emergencies kill more people than any type of emergency,” he said. “We did more for this heat emergency than any heat emergency we’ve ever responded to, but it doesn’t mean that we did enough.” Flaccus writes for the Associated Press. Inside China’s vast Xinjiang detention center The secretive facility holds Uyghurs and others over charges many say are spurious. By Dake Kang DABANCHENG, China — The Uyghur inmates sat in uniform rows — numbered and tagged, legs crossed in the lotus position and backs ramrod straight — as they gazed at a television playing grainy, black-and-white images of Chinese Communist Party history. This is one of an estimated 240 cells in just one section of Urumqi No. 3 Detention Center in Dabancheng, seen by Associated Press journalists who were granted extraordinary access during a state-led tour to China’s far-west Xinjiang region. The detention center is the largest in the country and possibly the world, with a complex that sprawls over 220 acres — twice the size of Vatican City. A sign at the front identifies it as a “kanshousuo,” a pretrial detention facility. Chinese officials declined to say how many inmates were there, noting that the number varies. But the AP estimates that the center can hold 10,000, based on satellite imagery and the cells and benches seen during the tour, and many more if crowded. The AP was the first Western media organization allowed inside. The site suggests that China still holds and plans to hold vast numbers of Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim minorities in detention. Satellite imagery shows that new buildings stretching almost a mile long were added to the Dabancheng facility in 2019. China has described its sweeping lockup of a million Mark Schiefelbein Associated Press POLICE OFFICERS guard the entrance to the Urumqi No. 3 Detention Center, which is twice the size of Vatican City and can hold an estimated 10,000 inmates. or more minority members over the last four years as a “war against terror,” after a series of stabbings and bombings by a small number of extremist Uyghurs. Among the most controversial aspects are the so-called vocational “training centers” — described by former detainees as brutal internment camps. Under heavy international criticism, China said in 2019 that all the occupants had “graduated.” But the AP’s visit to Dabancheng, satellite imagery and interviews with experts and former detainees suggest that while many “training centers” were closed, some, like Urumqi No. 3, were converted to prisons or pretrial detention facilities. Additionally, many new facilities have been built, including an 85-acre detention center down the road from No. 3 that went up during 2019, satellite imagery shows. The changes seem to be an attempt to move from the makeshift and extrajudicial “training centers” to a more permanent system of prisons and pretrial detention facilities justified under the law. While some Uyghurs have been released, others have simply been moved into this prison network. Researchers say innocent people have been thrown into detention for actions such as traveling abroad or attending religious gatherings. Darren Byler, an anthropologist at the University of Colorado who studies the Uyghurs, noted that many prisoners have not committed “real crimes by any standards” and go through a “show” trial without due process. “We’re moving from a police state to a mass incarceration state. Hundreds of thousands of people have ‘We’re moving from a police state to a mass incarceration state. ... It’s the criminalization of normal behavior.’ — Darren Byler, University of Colorado anthropologist disappeared from the population,” said Byler. “It’s the criminalization of normal behavior.” During the April tour of No. 3 in Dabancheng, officials repeatedly attempted to distinguish it from the “training centers” that Beijing claims to have closed. “There was no connection between our detention center and the training centers,” said Urumqi Public Security Bureau director Zhao Zhongwei. Despite the claims of officials, evidence shows that No. 3 was an internment camp. A Reuters picture of the entrance in September 2018 shows that the facility was once called the “Urumqi Vocational Skills Education and Training Center.” Records show that the Chinese conglomerate Hengfeng Information Technology won an $11-million contract to outfit the “Urumqi training center.” A former construction contractor who visited the Dabancheng facility in 2018 told the AP it was the same as the Urumqi Vocational Skills Education and Training Center and had been converted to a detention facility in 2019, with the nameplate switched. He declined to be named for fear of retaliation against his family. The vast complex is ringed by 25-foot concrete walls painted blue, watchtowers and humming electric wire. Officials led AP journalists past face-scanning turnstiles and rifle-toting guards dressed in military camouflage. In one corner of the compound, Zhu Hongbin, the center’s director, rapped on a cell window. “They’re totally unbreakable,” he said, his voice muffled beneath head-to-toe medical gear. At the control room, staff gazed at a wall-to-wall display of some two dozen screens streaming footage from each cell. Another panel played programming from state broadcaster CCTV, which Zhu said was being shown to the inmates. “We control what they watch,” Zhu said. “We can see if they’re breaking regulations or if they might hurt or kill themselves.” The center also screens video classes, Zhu said, to teach inmates about their crimes. Twenty-two rooms with chairs and computers allow inmates to chat with lawyers, relatives and police via video, as they are strapped to their seats. Down the corridor, an office houses a branch of the Urumqi prosecutor’s office, in another sign of the switch to a formal prison system. A medical room contains a gurney, a tank of oxygen and a cabinet stocked with medicines. Guidelines posted on the wall instruct staffers on the proper protocol for dealing with sick inmates — and direct them to force-feed inmates who are on hunger strikes by inserting tubes up their noses. Zhao, the other official, said inmates are held for 15 days to a year before trial, depending on their suspected crime. Urumqi No. 3 Detention Center is comparable in size to Rikers Island in New York City, but the region has fewer than 4 million people, compared with nearly 20 million in the New York metropolitan area. At least three other detention centers are sprinkled across Urumqi, along with 10 or more prisons. The No. 3 center did not appear to be at full capacity; one section was closed, officials said, and the six to 10 inmates in each cell took up only half the benches. But the latest official government statistics available, for 2019, show that there were about twice as many arrests in Xinjiang that year as before the start of the crackdown in 2017. Hundreds of thousands of people have been sentenced to prison on what relatives often say are spurious charges. Kang writes for the Associated Press.
SAT URDAY , AUGUST 7, 2021 L AT I ME S . CO M A3 THE WORLD Google mogul’s visa stirs debate Larry Page is granted residency under New Zealand’s special provision for the rich. By Nick Perry WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Google cofounder Larry Page has gained New Zealand residency, officials confirmed Friday, stoking debate over whether extremely wealthy people can essentially buy access to the South Pacific country. Immigration New Zealand said Page first applied for residency in November under a special visa open to people with at least 10 million New Zealand dollars ($7 million) to invest. “As he was offshore at the time, his application was not able to be processed because of COVID-19 restrictions,” the agency said in a statement. “Once Mr. Page entered New Zealand, his application was able to be processed and it was approved on 4 February 2021.” Gaining New Zealand residency would not necessarily affect Page’s residency status in the U.S. or any other nation. New Zealand lawmakers confirmed that Page and his son first arrived in New Zealand in January after the family filed an urgent application for the son to be evacuated from Fiji due to a medical emergency. “The day after the application was received, a New Zealand air ambulance staffed by a New Zealand ICU nurse-escort [evacuated] the child and an adult family member from Fiji to New Zealand,” Health Minister Andrew Little told lawmakers in parliament. Little was responding to questions about how Page had managed to enter the country at a time when New Zealand had shut its borders to nonresidents in an attempt to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Little told lawmakers that the family had abided by virus protocols when they arrived. Page’s residency application was approved about three weeks later. Immigration New Zealand noted that while Page had become a resident, he didn’t have permanent residency and remained subject to certain restrictions. Still, the agency on its website touts the “Investor Plus” visa as offering a “New Zealand lifestyle,” adding that “you may be able to bring your car, boat and household items to New Zealand, free of customs charges.” Some local news organizations reported that Page had since left New Zealand. Google did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Forbes on Friday ranked Page as the world’s sixthwealthiest person, with a fortune of $117 billion. Forbes noted that Page stepped down as chief executive of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, in 2019 but remained a board member and controlling shareholder. Opposition lawmakers said the episode raised questions about why Page was approved so quickly at a time when many skilled workers or separated family members who were desperate to enter New Zealand were being turned away. “The government is sending a message that money is more important than doctors, fruit pickers and families who are separated from their children,” ACT deputy leader Brooke van Velden said. In 2017, it emerged that Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel had been able to gain New Zealand citizenship six years earlier, despite never having lived in the country. Thiel was approved after a top lawmaker decided his skills and philanthropy were valuable to the nation. Perry writes for the Associated Press. Ramiz Dallah Anadolu Agency LEBANESE security forces stand guard in the southern town of Shwaya, where residents seized a Hezbollah launch vehicle. Hezbollah and Israel exchange fire Despite the escalating attacks, both sides signal their intent to avoid a major conflict. By Laurie Kellman and Zeina Karam BEIRUT — The militant group Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets toward Israel on Friday, and Israel hit back with artillery in a significant escalation between the two sides. It was the third day of attacks along the volatile border with Lebanon, a perennial focus of Middle East conflict where tensions between Israel and Iran, which backs Hezbollah, occasionally play out. But comments by Israeli officials and Hezbollah’s actions suggested the two were seeking to avoid a major conflict at this time. Israel said it fired back after 19 rockets were launched from Lebanon, and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett swiftly convened a meeting with the country’s top defense officials. No casualties were reported. “We do not wish to escalate to a full war, yet of course we are very prepared for that,” said Lt. Col. Amnon Shefler, spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces. Israel has long considered Hezbollah, which is based in Lebanon, its most serious and immediate military threat. Friday’s exchanges came a day after Israel’s defense minister warned that his country is prepared to strike Iran following a fatal drone strike on an oil tanker at sea that his country blamed on Tehran. The tensions come at a politically sensitive time in Israel, where a new eightparty governing coalition is trying to keep the peace on another border under a fragile cease-fire that ended an 11-day war with Hamas’ militant rulers in the Gaza Strip. Sirens blared across the Golan Heights and Upper Galilee near the Lebanon border Friday morning. Hezbollah said in a statement that it had hit “open fields” in the disputed Shebaa Farms area. The group said it fired 10 rockets, calling them retaliation for Israeli airstrikes the day before. Israel said those strikes were in response to rocket fire from southern Lebanon in recent days that was not claimed by any group. Shebaa Farms is an enclave where the borders of Israel, Lebanon and Syria meet. Israel says it is part of the Golan Heights, which it captured from Syria in the 1967 war. Lebanon and Syria say Shebaa Farms belongs to Lebanon, while the United Nations says the area is part of Syria. “This is a very serious situation and we urge all parties to cease fire,” the U.N. force known as UNIFIL said. Force commander Maj. Gen. Stefano Del Col said the force was coordinating with the Lebanese army to strengthen security measures in the area. Hezbollah’s response, striking open fields in a disputed area rather than Israel proper, appeared calibrated to limit any response. Shefler, the Israeli military spokesman, told reporters Friday that 19 rockets had been fired into Israel, three of which fell within Lebanese territory. Ten of the remaining 16 rockets were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome missile-defense system. Israel estimates Hezbollah possesses more than 130,000 rockets and missiles capable of striking anywhere in the country. In recent years, Israel also has expressed concerns that the group is trying to import or develop an arsenal of precision-guided missiles. Israel has repeatedly threatened to attack Lebanese border villages, where it accuses Hezbollah of hiding rockets. An Israeli security official said Friday the military was carrying out airstrikes unlike any in years and was planning for more options. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss military policy. The attack sparked tensions between local residents and Hezbollah. Videos circulated on social media after the rocket attack showed two vehicles, including a mobile rocket launcher, being stopped by villagers in the southeastern village of Shwaya in Hasbaya region, near the border with the Golan Heights. The windshield of one vehicle was smashed. Some of the villagers could be heard saying: “Hezbollah is firing rockets from between homes so that Israel hits us back.” The Lebanese army said it arrested four people who were involved in the rocket firing and confiscated the rocket launcher. It said Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers are taking all measures to restore calm. Hezbollah issued a statement saying that the rockets were fired from remote areas, adding that the fighters were stopped in Shwaya on their way back. “We lived a similar period in the 1970s, when Palestinian fighters were carrying out guerrilla attacks against Israel. We are now to the same status, and this is causing tension,” said Ajaj Mousa, a resident of nearby Kfarchouba. The escalation also comes at a sensitive time in Lebanon, which is mired in multiple crises including a devastating economic meltdown and political deadlock that has left the country without a functional government for a full year. Kellman, reporting from Tel Aviv, and Karam, reporting from Beirut, write for the Associated Press. AP writers Josef Federman in Jerusalem and Bassem Mroue in Beirut contributed to this report. Hiroshima marks 76 years since bombing Mayor of first city hit with nuclear weapon warns of ‘threat of total annihilation.’ By Mari Yamaguchi TOKYO — Hiroshima on Friday marked the 76th anniversary of the world’s first atomic bombing, as the mayor of the Japanese city urged global leaders to unite to eliminate nuclear weapons. Mayor Kazumi Matsui implored world leaders to commit to nuclear disarmament as seriously as they are tackling a pandemic that the international community recognizes as a “threat to humanity.” “Nuclear weapons, developed to win wars, are a threat of total annihilation that we can certainly end, if all nations work together,” Matsui said. “No sustainable society is possible with these weapons continually poised for indiscriminate slaughter.” The United States dropped the world’s first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, destroying the city and killing 140,000 people. It dropped a second bomb three days later on Nagasaki, killing 70,000 more. Japan surrendered Aug. 15, ending World War II and the nation’s nearly half-century of aggression in Asia. Countries stockpiled nuclear weapons in the Cold Kyodo News A CHILD prays in front of the cenotaph dedicated to the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima on Friday at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. War, and a standoff continues to this day. The global Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons took effect in January after years of civil effort joined by the bombing survivors. But while more than 50 countries have ratified it, the treaty notably lacks the U.S. and other nuclear powers as well as Japan, which has relied on the U.S. nuclear umbrella for its defense since the war’s end. Matsui renewed his demand that his own government “immediately” sign and ratify the treaty, to live up to the wish of atomic bombing survivors, who are known as hibakusha. He also demanded that Japan provide productive mediation between nuclear and nonnuclear states. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who attended the ceremony in Hiroshima, did not mention the treaty and instead stressed the need for a more “realistic” approach to bridge the nuclear and nonnuclear weapons states and by strengthening the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Later at a news conference, Suga said he had no plan to sign the new treaty. “The treaty lacks support not only from the nuclear weapons states, including the United States, but also from many countries that do not possess nuclear arms,” Suga said. “What’s appropriate is to seek a passage to realistically promote nuclear disarmament.” Suga also apologized for inadvertently skipping parts of his speech, including a pledge to pursue efforts toward achieving a nuclearfree world as head of the world’s only country to have suffered atomic attacks. Many survivors of the bombings have lasting in- juries and illnesses linked to the bombs and radiation exposure, and face discrimination in Japanese society. The government began to medically support certified survivors in 1968 after more than 20 years of effort by the hibakusha. As of March, 127,755 survivors, whose average age is now almost 84, are certified as hibakusha and eligible for government medical support, according to the health and welfare ministry. Suga announced last month that the medical benefits would be extended to 84 Hiroshima survivors who had been denied aid because they were outside a government-set boundary. The victims were exposed to radioactive “black rain” that fell in the city after the bombing and fought a long legal battle for their health problems to be recognized. Matsui urged Suga’s government to widen support to reach all those still suffering physical and emotional effects of radiation, including the black rain survivors who were not part of the lawsuit. Thursday’s ceremony at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was significantly scaled down because of the COVID-19 pandemic and was also eclipsed by the Olympics in Tokyo, where even national NHK television quickly switched to the Games after the main speeches.

This kind of selection, this degree of quality, in a store still open when you return to your hotel past midnight, isn’t just convenience. It’s paradise. Aside from the glare of fluorescent lighting and omnipresent coffee machines, konbini have little in common with their American counterparts. Estimates place their number on this island nation between 50,000 and 60,000; they abound in Tokyo, averaging about eight per square mile, with 7-Eleven, FamilyMart and Lawson as the most common chains. Though not especially large, these stores are packed with a startling range of goods. Where else can you buy tuna mayo onigiri wrapped in savory seaweed, men’s underwear and concert tickets while also paying your monthly utility bill? On a Friday afternoon, a team official from Thailand perused the toiletries section where a pair of quality nail clippers can be had for a few dollars. The ATMs often accept foreign debit and credit cards. But packaged meals and delicacies are where these stores truly shine, with so much more than ever-rotating hot dogs and re-warmed chicken strips. The selection changes constantly, new arrivals announced weekly on the internet, anticipated with the same fervor otherwise reserved for the release of Yeezy sneakers or an album drop. Featured items during the final days of the Games included plump sea urchin rice bowls and pork yakiniku bento with onion sauce. 7-Elevens, owned by a Japanese corporation, have collaborated with Michelin star restaurants on Tsuta Ramen and other instant noodles. “The quality is nextlevel,” says Kaila Imada, a senior editor for the multiplatform Time Out Tokyo, Gary Ambrose For The Times STORES like 7-Eleven in Tokyo have been very popular with visiting media and officials for their diverse offerings and quality, especially when it comes to food. who has written connoisseur’s guides to konbini. “You can find dinner there and it will be a top-notch dinner.” Not everything is fancy — the late food critic Anthony Bourdain once raved about Lawson’s egg salad sandwich. “So I’ve given up many vices in my life, many shameful, filthy, guilty pleasures that I used to like that I just don’t do anymore. Cocaine, heroin, prostitutes, the musical styling of Steven Tyler,” he said during his “Parts Unknown” series on CNN. “One thing I just can’t give up. One thing I keep coming back to every time I come back to Japan.” Bourdain referred to the plastic-wrapped sandos — as they are called here — as “pillows of love.” :: The initial jolt is more than visual. This immersive experience begins at the sliding glass doors as you leave the city’s heat behind, stepping into a blast of air conditioning. Music plays from hidden speakers, accompanied by a symphony of commerce. As Japanese author Sayaka Murata writes in her novel “Convenience Store Woman”: A convenience store is a world of sound. From the tinkle of the door chime to the voices of TV celebrities advertising new products over the in-store cable network, to the calls of the store workers, the beeps of the bar code scanner, the rustle of customers picking up items and placing them in baskets, and the clacking of heels walking around the store. It all blends into the convenience store sound that ceaselessly caresses my eardrums … A convenience store is not merely a place where customers come to buy practical necessities. It has to be somewhere they can enjoy and take pleasure in discovering things they like. This public communion draws congregants of all ages and demographics. In the morning, salarymen with their pressed white shirts and briefcases wait in line behind kids getting something to eat before school. Workers in blue coveralls stop by for lunch. Dinnertime? Be prepared to wait. A love of konbini and its community spurred two Americans living in Japan, Michael Markey and Matthew Savas, to start a podcast last year. “Conbini Boys,” which uses an alternate spelling, has grown to 62 episodes. “It’s structural to Japanese society,” Savas, who has since moved back to the U.S., says of the stores. “You’ll see all kinds of people going to a konbini.” The prices are reasonable, with meals costing $3 to $6. A dollar buys a pucksized korokke — or croquette — with a blend of potato and beef that tastes both sweet and savory. People can rely on the stores to be open, no matter what. “We call them our local superheroes,” Imada says. “They’re always there for us, 24 hours a day, whatever you need … they’re always open regardless of rain, shine or typhoon.” Shinichi Mine and Satoshi Tanaka, whose “TabiEats” YouTube channel has more than 500,000 subscribers, visited Los Angeles before the pandemic and decided to sample breakfast at an American 7-Eleven. They were in for a surprise. “It says fresh fruits on the container, but actually it wasn’t fresh. It was actually previously frozen because the fruits were soggy and bad,” Mine said. “Even the breakfast sandwich was soggy for some reason.” “Why can’t a simple thing like this be a bit better?” he asked. “It’s kind of strange.” The bottom line might be part of the answer. Because they throw out fresh items that aren’t sold quickly enough, konbini account for part of an estimated 640,000 tons of food wasted annually in Japan, according to a 2019 report by the NHK news service. Lawson and 7-Eleven started programs to discount items close to their expiration time. The U.S. business model favors a longer, more profitable shelf life. American convenience stores, often linked to gas stations, have conditioned customers to expect something different, as in Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and Red Vines. “In the U.S., the idea of convenience is linked not only to the idea of quick, but also cheap,” Linda Hagen, an assistant professor who studies consumer behavior at USC’s Marshall School of Business, wrote in an email. “So this close mental association that convenience equals fast, cheap, unhealthy is a big part of why convenience stores offer the assortments they do.” :: Konbini have played a special role at these Pandemic Games. With coronavirus cases surging in Tokyo, foreigners have been asked to limit interaction with the populace, but convenience stores have been a conspicuous exception. Pump bottles of sanitizer are stationed at the entrance and plastic sheets hang in front of registers. No fluency in Japanese is required; checkout counters feature large touch screens that guide customers through transactions. With a minimum of pointing, a typically patient clerk shows an Uzbek journalist how to feed coins into the cash slot and everyone has learned to gesture if they need a plastic bag. Not all meals have English on the label, so people crowd around the refrigerated shelves, scrutinizing the fried rice and beef dishes, grabbing whatever looks good. The mention of convenience stores among Americans here prompts smiles and starts everyone chattering about their favorite purchases. Savas rhapsodizes about shopping at a konbini early on, trying a dish called chiki, which is boneless chicken from a hot box. “I distinctly remember sitting in my car, biting into it and a gush of juice bursting out of the chicken, splashing my glasses and clothes,” he said. “From that day forward, I was a changed man.” Each visit offers so many choices, so many opportunities for something you have never tasted before. Growing bolder with experience, you might reach for deepfried fish paste or smoked gizzards. The first time at a konbini, though, can be tough. Your eyes dart from package to package as the theme song from “The Little Mermaid” tinkles in the background. All those shapes and textures, the Japanese characters in bold type. So many colors — crimson, chartreuse, neon yellow — you don’t normally associate with food. The first time, you might just reach for the egg salad sandwich. Skateboarders want respect [Skateboard, from A1] coasted down the paved pathway near the shuttered park — only to get an earful from a passing cyclist who yelled at them to get out of the way. “It’s the first Olympics for skateboarding and the champions were Japanese!” the 18-year-old said. “Here, it’s hard to skateboard. … We get warned over and over again by the police. We get our names and our phone numbers taken down.” The city’s skaters say the reality of skateboarding on Tokyo’s streets is a far cry from the Olympic glory currently being bestowed on the sport on the country’s TV screens. The slew of medals, five in all, including a silver and bronze, the country will readily celebrate. Yet not so much the boundary-pushing, authority-questioning, devil-may-care ethos that comes along with the sport. Some are optimistic about a change in the sport’s image the Games and Japan’s gold medals could bring. Others worry a surge in interest may only invite further restrictions. How kindly the city will take to an influx of people keen to try out the new Olympic sport remains to be seen.

The park that Olympic gold medalist Yuto Horigome grew up practicing in has banned the sport. Hostility, hurdles and harassment are a daily reality for Tokyo’s skaters, for whom the sport can prove a lifeline in a society full of rules and restrictions. For Shimon Iwazawa, 22, his local skate park in Osaka was a haven when he had trouble fitting in at Japanese public schools after moving back to Japan from Germany in the sixth grade. He was bullied for being mixedrace. “One of the beauties of skating is that everybody is different and everyone respects and enjoys that difference,” said Iwazawa, a YouTuber and author of a book about his relationship with skateboarding. “In Japanese public elementary schools, being different was not always a good thing. But at the skate park, it was comfortable to be different. I was proud to be different.” He hopes that the Olympics will introduce Japanese viewers to the positive aspects of skateboarding, and that they’ll come to understand and embrace the rich culture behind it that long preceded it becoming an Olympic sport. “I want people to know about its origins that lie in freedom,” he explained. “It’s like a tool to describe yourself. I think of it as more like an art.” Iwazawa waxes lyrical about just how integral the street and the urban landscape — and not just sterile, designated parks — are to the art of skateboarding. It’s about charting your own courses, using your creativity, he says, and the increas- FOR THE RECORD Pete Schabarum: In the Aug. 4 California section, an obituary on former Los Angeles County Supervisor Pete Schabarum said he died Aug. 1. He died Aug. 2. Ben Curtis Associated Press MISUGU OKAMOTO placed fourth in park skateboarding after a fall, but fellow skaters flocked to support her. Online, Japanese viewers expressed amazement. ingly tougher crackdown on skating on the streets of Tokyo sucks the life out of it. The limitations on street skating may in part be responsible for Japan’s Olympic success, Iwazawa said. Skaters are forced to practice only in skate parks, and without that relationship to street culture, they hone skills and tricks with a singular focus on competitions. Japan’s medalists, three of them teenagers and one just 12, have used their moment in the spotlight to plead for more space to practice. “I hope we’ll see many more parks to practice in Japan,” 13-year-old Momiji Nishiya said after winning the gold medal in women’s street skateboarding. “We’d like to have good trainings and more often.” But a relationship with the city is at the core of the sport’s allure, its devotees say. “We want to be the first ones who conquer that particular handrail or whatever,” said Hiroki Hamada, an employee at a skateboard and BMX shop in Tokyo’s Shibuya district. “It’s something that can only be achieved in that moment, because unlike the park, the city is always changing. I think every skater would prefer to skate street.” On the day of the men’s street skateboarding final last week, the board and uniform sported by Horigome flew off the shelves. Hamada said it sold out at the store where he works. But he didn’t think skateboarding’s newfound popularity would make it easier for the city’s skaters — and in some ways, he’s perfectly fine with that. “The older generations don’t really understand us,” Hamada said with a shrug. “But we aren’t really looking to be understood.” Setagaya Skate Park, one of the few in Tokyo that has remained open during the COVID-19 state of emergency, was full of skaters young and old on a recent afternoon despite the stifling summer heat. A young boy flew down a ramp, his dad watching from the sideline with exclamations and feedback like an Olympic coach. “I like feeling free on the ramp,” said 8-year-old Hibito Oshino, already two years into his skating career. Yuta Machida, a 31-year old teacher who is a regular at the park, fretted that the Olympics could be bad for skateboarding in Tokyo in the short term. “There are going to be more skateboarders but fewer spots,” he said. “The streets are going to get busier and people are going to be stopped more often.” A young skater who’d recently moved to Tokyo from Nara learned that the hard way on Tuesday evening on the streets of Shibuya. The first time he dared let his Baker skateboard touch Tokyo’s pavement, two police officers were on his case, giving him a lengthy talkingto and warning he could face consequences. “What you are doing is wrong, you know,” one of the officers scolded. When they finally let him go, he wandered off into the Shibuya evening on foot, not daring to put down his board again. But Japan’s Olympic skateboarders seem to be winning over hearts in addition to the gold, silver and bronze hardware. A particularly poignant moment came after the women’s park skateboarding final Wednesday. Japan swept with Sakura Yosozumi, 19, taking gold and Kokona Hiraki, 12, taking silver. But the event’s most memorable moment came off the course when skaters flocked around 15year-old teammate Misugu Okamoto after she just missed the podium by placing fourth with a bad fall on her final run. They hugged and cheered her before hoisting her up on their shoulders. Online, Japanese viewers expressed amazement at the sportsmanship and friendship displayed by the actions of the young female skateboarders. “To me it was the sort of thing hooligans do,” read one remark on Twitter. “The youth taught me something today.” Lowry is a special correspondent.

SAT URDAY , AUGUST 7, 2021 L AT I ME S . CO M A5 THE NATION Biden nudges Senate on infrastructure bill As amendments delay passage of bipartisan package, senators plan to work into weekend. By Lisa Mascaro WASHINGTON — Despite a rocky week of fits and starts, President Biden praised the Senate on Friday for edging the bipartisan infrastructure plan closer to passage, ahead of a key vote on the package. As Biden spoke from the White House, he compared the “historic investment” of nearly $1 trillion in new and existing spending to building the transcontinental railroad or the interstate highway system — lofty themes he has touched on before while nudging Congress along. The public works projects the measure will fund will be powered by good-paying, blue-collar jobs, he said. The president’s note of encouragement offers a reset for lawmakers after frustrations mounted and tempers flared overnight Thursday as the Senate stalled out, unable to expedite the package’s completion as hoped. Senators will be back Saturday for another weekend session. “It’s a bill that would end years of gridlock in Washington and create millions of good-paying jobs — put America on a new path to win the race for the economy in the 21st century,” Biden said. The public works expenditures will “enable us not only to build back but to build back better than before the economic crisis hit,” he said. It’s nearing decision time for Congress, and particularly the Senate, to make gains on the president’s infrastructure priorities — first with the bipartisan bill that could pass as soon as this weekend, to be quickly followed by the more sweep- Amanda Andrade-Rhoades Associated Press SEN. ROB PORTMAN (R-Ohio) found himself agreeing Thursday with those seeking to amend a crypto- currency taxation policy he had written that stalled debate and helped thwart plans to expedite the package. ing $3.5-trillion budget blueprint that Democrats plan to shoulder on their own. Senators had hoped to wrap up the bipartisan bill late Thursday, before many of them left for Wyoming to attend Friday’s funeral services for former Republican Sen. Mike Enzi, 77, who died July 26 after being injured in a bicycle accident near Gillette, Wyo. But the Senate ground to a halt with new problems as senators worked late into the night Thursday on amendments and to counter objections from Republican opponents of the plan to expedite the process. A procedural vote was set for Saturday. “We’ve worked long, hard and collaboratively to finish this important bipartisan bill.” Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (DN.Y.) said near midnight. The bill ‘would end years of gridlock in Washington and ... put America on a new path to win the race for the economy.’ — President Biden Announcing Saturday’s schedule, he said, “We very much want to finish.” Called the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the thick bill is the first part of Biden’s infrastructure agenda and would inject billions of new spending on roads, bridges, waterworks, broadband and other proj- ects in virtually every corner of the nation. If approved by the Senate, it would next go to the House. The late-night session stalled out as new debates emerged over proposed amendments to change the 2,700-page package. Senators have processed nearly two dozen amendments so far, and none has substantially changed the framework of the public works package. With more than a dozen amendments still to go, senators struggled to reach agreements. A much-anticipated analysis of the bill from the Congressional Budget Office also drew concerns, particularly from Republicans. It concluded that the legislation would increase deficits by about $256 billion over the next decade, though the bill’s backers argued that the analysis did not take into Cuomo aide files criminal complaint in groping case By Marina Villeneuve ALBANY, N.Y. — A woman who accused New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of groping her breast at the governor’s state residence has filed a criminal complaint against him, the Albany County Sheriff ’s Office said Friday. The complaint, filed Thursday with the Sheriff ’s Office, is the first known instance in which a woman has made an official report with a law enforcement agency over alleged misconduct by Cuomo. Its filing is a potential first step toward bringing criminal charges. “We take every complaint seriously,” Albany County Undersheriff William Rice said Friday. It’s possible the Democratic governor could be arrested if investigators or the county district attorney determine he committed a crime, Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple told the New York Post. “The end result could ... be it sounds substantiated and an arrest is made, and it would be up to the DA to prosecute the arrest,” he told the newspaper, which was the first to report on the complaint. “Just because of who it is, we are not going to rush it or delay it.” Apple didn’t immediately return a phone message from the Associated Press. His office confirmed to the AP that the report had been filed. The Cuomo aide who filed the report has accused him of reaching under her shirt and fondling her when they were alone together at the Executive Mansion last year. The woman also told investigators with the attorney general’s office that Cuomo once rubbed her rear end while they were posing together for a photo. The Sheriff ’s Office didn’t immediately provide a copy of the complaint. Cuomo’s lawyer, Rita Glavin, didn’t immediately address the criminal complaint in an online briefing Mary Altaffer Associated Press GOV. Andrew Cuomo denies fondling an assistant last year at his state residence in Albany, N.Y. with reporters but said the groping allegation — which was also outlined in newspaper articles and in a report released by the New York attorney general’s office — was fabricated. “This woman’s story, which is stated as fact in the report, is false. The documentary evidence does not support what she said,” Glavin said. The Albany County district attorney’s office would not confirm that it received a complaint, saying it had no plans to release any information because “this is an ongoing matter that is under review,” spokesperson Cecilia Walsh said in an email. Calls for Cuomo’s resignation or impeachment soared this week after an independent investigation overseen by the state attorney general’s office concluded that Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women and worked to retaliate against one of his accusers. The attorney general’s report describes a series of times Cuomo allegedly acted inappropriately with the aide described as Executive Assistant #1, culminating with the groping encounter at the mansion on Nov. 16, 2020. According to the woman, Cuomo pulled her in for a hug as she prepared to leave the governor’s office at the mansion. Told that “you’re going to get us in trouble,” Cuomo replied, “I don’t care,” and slammed the door shut, she said. He slid his hand up her blouse, and grabbed her breast over her bra, according to the report. “I have to tell you, it was — at the moment, I was in such shock that I could just tell you that I just remember looking down seeing his hand, seeing the top of my bra,” she told investigators. She said she pulled away from Cuomo and said, “You’re crazy.” Cuomo has adamantly denied touching her breast, saying, “I would have to lose my mind to do such a thing.” Records confirm that the woman was at the mansion for several hours on Nov. 16 and had at least one interaction with the governor, but Glavin said the accuser also sent emails to staff while she was in the building that didn’t mention that anything upsetting had happened. The woman told investigators she had initially planned to take the harassment claims “to the grave.” Prosecutors in several New York counties have said they are interested in investigating claims of inappropriate touching by Cuomo, but all had said they needed the women involved in the allegations to make a formal report. The Albany Police Department, the primary law enforcement agency for the city, had been informed of the woman’s allegations regarding the encounter at the mansion several months ago and had spoken to her lawyer, but didn’t open an investigation at the time because she didn’t make a report. The criminal investigation comes as lawmakers are moving toward a likely impeachment proceeding over the allegations. Lawyers working for the state Assembly sent a letter to Cuomo on Thursday giving him until Aug. 13 to respond to the allegations or provide documents to bolster his defense. Villeneuve writes for the Associated Press. account certain revenue streams — including from future economic growth. Sen. Bill Hagerty (RTenn.) said he objected to expediting consideration of the bill because of the high price tag. “I could not, in good conscience, allow that to happen,” Hagerty said in a statement early Friday. He said he was especially concerned that passing the bipartisan bill would pave the way for Democrats to move quickly to their $3.5-trillion “taxand-spend spree.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) urged the senators on but reiterated that her chamber will consider the two bills together. “Whatever you can achieve in a bipartisan way, bravo,” she said at a Capitol Hill news conference. “We’re going to do this when we can do it all.” One of the amendments generating the most attention Thursday involved cryptocurrency. The bill would raise an estimated $28 billion over 10 years by updating Internal Revenue Service reporting requirements for cryptocurrency brokers, just as stockbrokers report their customers’ sales. Sen. Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.) and others wanted to narrow the definition of who must file those forms, concerned that crypto miners, software developers and others would be subject to the requirement. Toomey warned that the provision, as written, could have a “chilling effect on the development of this technology.” The White House weighed in late, suggesting it favored a different approach from Sen. Rob Portman (ROhio), Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) and others. White House spokesman Andrew Bates said a compromise amendment “would reduce tax evasion in the cryptocurrency market.” Overall, the infrastructure bill calls for $550 billion in new spending over five years above projected federal levels for a nearly $1-trillion package. If senators wrap up work on the bipartisan bill, they will turn to the much more partisan undertaking on Biden’s agenda: a $3.5-trillion proposal for what the White House calls human infrastructure — child care support, home healthcare, education and other expenditures — Democratic priorities that Republicans have pledged to reject. Debate is expected to extend into the fall. Schumer wants senators to pass both measures before they depart for their scheduled August recess. Mascaro writes for the Associated Press.

A6 S ATU R DAY , AU G U S T 7, 2021 LAT IMES. C OM Tension rising along Texas’ southern border [Texas, from A1] ping a rifle and shotgun they had been loading and scattering ammunition. The men were caught the next day by the Border Patrol, he said, armed with knives stolen from the house. Hill pressed charges against them for trespassing under a new order issued by the Texas governor in response to what he has called a border crisis of the Biden administration’s making. “We’ve been abandoned by this administration,” Hill said as he stood on the ranch this week beside his pickup, its bed full of trash he’d gathered where migrants had passed through. “I don’t want to have to defend myself out here.” Local ranchers accustomed to raising cattle, deer and exotic game on remote spreads north of the border have been alarmed to see migrants approach their homes for the first time, walking up to children as they play outside. They’re seeing authorities pull migrants from cargo trains and grain elevators — some living, some dead. Sixty-four remains have been found so far this year, compared with 20 last year, according to the Border Patrol. Migrants are appearing on ranchers’ security cameras, breaking into homes and stealing cars. The uptick has rattled the Del Rio area and conservatives nationwide, who have made it their battleground for border policy just as residents prepare for hunting season, when they fear shootings may erupt. Gov. Greg Abbott has called a special session of the state Legislature starting Saturday to address, among other things, border security, including “enhancing criminal laws or providing funding from unappropriated available revenues to support law-enforcement agencies, counties, and other strategies as part of Texas’ comprehensive border security plan.” Last month, Abbott — who has devoted state money to finishing former President Trump’s border wall — issued executive orders allowing residents to press charges against migrants for trespassing and against those who transport them, but the latter has so far been blocked by the federal government in court. When Vice President Kamala Harris visited the border earlier this year, Abbott excoriated her for skipping Del Rio in favor of El Paso, a much larger city farther west that has seen a fraction of the migrant traffic. Abbott held a border summit with Texas sheriffs in Del Rio, met with border lawmakers and residents and declared the area a federal disaster necessitating government aid. He sent scores of state troopers there for “Operation Lone Star” to supplement the Border Patrol, summoned National Guard Molly Hennessy-Fiske Los Angeles Times RANCH MANAGER Cole Hill, 31, rounds up trash near Uvalde, Texas. The father of three has begun carrying a pistol after responding to a break-in last week at Gun Hill Ranch, where he says migrants were trespassing. ‘The [Biden] administration can’t say I didn’t forewarn them. We have an immigration crisis, a surge. They’ve abandoned us.’ — Bruno Lozano, mayor of Del Rio, Texas troops and added law enforcement from Texas, Florida, Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio. They were still camped this week in military-style tents at the county fairgrounds. More than 120 migrants have been charged with trespassing in the county surrounding Del Rio since the governor’s order, according to County Attorney David Martinez. The migrants were being held at a state prison and, if convicted, face up to a year in jail, Martinez said. Migrant advocates sent a letter to Texas officials Friday complaining that among at least 200 who had been detained, more than two-thirds had been denied access to public defenders and some had been separated from their families. “Gov. Abbott is attempting to unilaterally make and enforce his own immigration policy for Texas,” said Kate Huddleston, attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas. “This unconstitutional effort is leading to rampant civil rights violations.” Martinez said detained migrants had difficulty accessing attorneys because prison staff “are not used to dealing with non-convicted individuals.” He said that it’s state policy not to separate migrant families, but that several men had mistakenly been separated from their families, charged, released and reunited. Later this month, local ranchers will start rounding up livestock from remote grazing areas, where they’re likely to encounter migrants trying to evade capture. Next month, dove hunting season begins, followed by duck, quail and deer, big business on local ranches that draw more than 100,000 people, many armed and unaccustomed to stumbling across migrants. “With hunting season, things are going to get ugly,” said John Sewell, 56, who runs a hunting ranch about 50 miles north of the border near Uvalde. “We’re on edge.” Sewell has lost countless miles of fencing to migrant damage, which costs $25,000 a mile to replace, and complains that the foreign nationals have more rights than landowners. Sitting on his porch with him and his hounds this week overlooking a field where whitetail deer grazed, neighbor Larry Smith, a retired petroleum engineer, agreed. Many of the migrants crossing now turn themselves in to the Border Patrol, the men noted. Their identification cards and other paperwork were strewn across the banks of the Rio Grande this week, shed as they arrived. But others try to evade capture. Those are the groups ranchers said they encounter in the brush who sometimes turn aggressive. “That’s going to get somebody killed,” said Smith, 72, a .45 handgun at his side as it always is these days. “That’s the question for all of us: Once confronted, what do we do?” Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin Jr., a conservative Republican, said that the state deployment has helped catch smugglers and reduce the number of highspeed chases, but that smugglers caught recently were all armed. “In southwest Texas along the border it’s become the wild, wild west again. There is no rule of law,” he said. Laura Allen, a Republican former leader of the county surrounding Del Rio, worries that when she soon rounds up livestock or hunts with her 9-year-old they may stumble across migrant bodies or smugglers. “You protect your family, you protect yourself, and then do generations of your family pay for you having done that?” said Allen, 53. Unlike the Rio Grande Valley to the east, home to more than 1.5 million people, Val Verde County has a population of about 50,000, more than half in Del Rio. Neighboring Kinney and Uvalde counties’ populations are even smaller. This time last year, fewer than 25,000 migrants had been encountered in the area by the Border Patrol. This year, the agency has encountered more than 149,000 migrants as smugglers pushed west from the Rio Grande Valley as they did during the last surge in 2019. This week, there were at least 150 Mexican and Central American migrants camped in a park waiting to cross the Rio Grande in Del Rio’s sister city of Acuña. “For years I was always proud to say we didn’t have the problems that El Paso, the [Rio Grande] Valley or Laredo had. We’ve always been the middle ground,” So Cal’s LARGEST CABINET WAREHOUSE FEATURING MADE IN THE USA Allen said, but for smugglers, “eventually, the middle ground is the only ground. You just funnel it through.” Del Rio Mayor Bruno “Ralphy” Lozano, a Democrat, is also upset with the Biden administration’s immigration policy’s local impact. When the number of migrants started surging last winter, he called for federal assistance, but said the Biden administration ignored him. “The administration can’t say I didn’t forewarn them,” Lozano said this week as he sat in his office in front of a framed antique Texas flag. “We have an immigration crisis, a surge. They’ve abandoned us.” Lozano said he appreciated Republican lawmakers sending added law enforcement to the area, but that a month later, “they have not deterred migrants.” This week, he saw agents catch a migrant family while he was kayaking a downtown spring. There have been high-speed chases through town and schools placed on lockdown after migrants approached. Now Lozano worries when he hears ranchers talking about shooting migrants. “It started as a joke,” he said. “They’re not laughing anymore.” He said there’s also concern that migrants are not being tested for the coronavirus. Lozano has refused to do the testing because he fears the city would be stuck caring for those who test positive. Del Rio’s regional hospital has fewer than 100 beds, has seen an influx of COVID patients and needs remaining space for locals, he said.

The first week of this month, about 1,000 migrants were released to the only local migrant day shelter, the Val Verde Border Humanitarian Coalition, which used to aid about 100 migrants a month, said Tiffany Burrow, the director of operations. The shelter helps migrants arrange transportation — most are headed to larger cities — but options are limited. There are two 20-seat Greyhound buses a day, two daily flights from the local airport, and some charter buses, Burrow said. On Tuesday night, 112 migrants were released by federal immigration officials with nowhere to go, she said. A Honduran family of seven found themselves camped at a gas station as night fell. Burrow said the shelter needs help with migrant transportation and coronavirus testing, not added law enforcement, which the governor has yet to get federal officials to reimburse. “It’s very disconcerting to have this assistance and know somebody’s paying for this, and it’s us,” she said. On Thursday, Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz — a Del Rio native — visited to try to address local concerns ahead of hunting season, including a rumor that agents had been removed from the field to process migrants. Untrue, Ortiz said. “That’s a big part of why I’m down here: They have to let the Border Patrol work on solutions,” he said of residents, some of whom grew up with him and said they felt personally betrayed by what they consider his lack of support. Ortiz recalled how in 1997, 18-year-old Esequiel Hernandez Jr. was fatally shot while herding his family’s goats outside of Marfa, another west Texas outpost, by a U.S. Marine assisting the Border Patrol. “The last thing I want is for us to have another incident like we had in Marfa,” he said as he stood beside a temporary holding area under the Del Rio border bridge where more than 500 migrants had turned themselves in over the weekend. About 100 migrants remained. The rest had been released, some with ankle monitors, he said. More will be fitted with the devices in coming days, he said, or with government-issued cellphones they will be required to use to check in with immigration authorities. But he said the agency had no plans to start coronavirus testing for migrants. “I can’t take on another responsibility when my people are tied up here,” Ortiz said. As he spoke, several Haitian migrants walked up to the bridge from the Rio Grande and turned themselves in. The Biden administration on Friday issued what it says will be the final extension to a student loan moratorium that has allowed millions of Americans to put off debt payments during the pandemic. Payments on federal student loans will be paused through Jan. 31, 2022, with interest rates at 0% and collections suspended. The moratorium was started by President Trump early in the pandemic and continued by President Biden, but was set to expire Sept. 30. In announcing the decision, Biden said that the economy is recovering, but that the road to recovery will be longer for some Americans, including those with student loans. “This will give the Department of Education and borrowers more time and more certainty as they prepare to restart student loan payments,” he said in a statement. “It will also ensure a smoother transition that minimizes loan defaults and delinquencies that hurt families and undermine our economic recovery.” The policy applies to over 36 million Americans who have student loans held by the federal government. Their collective debt is over $1.3 trillion, according to Education Department data. Concerns had swirled as the moratorium’s expiration approached. Even as the economy improves, there were worries that borrowers were not ready to resume payments. Once the moratorium ends, those who were already behind on payments could have wages and benefits garnished. Democrats including Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer of New York and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts had called for extending the moratorium through at least March 2022, saying restarting payments now would “drag down the pace of our economic recovery.” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (DMass.) joined them in a statement Friday applauding the extension for providing relief to millions facing a “disastrous financial cliff.” The Education Department said the final extension provides enough time to restart the process smoothly, and gives borrowers a “definitive end date” to plan for. But Republicans criticized the move, saying the economy has rebounded strongly enough for borrowers to resume payments.
SAT URDAY , AUGUST 7, 2021 L AT I ME S . CO M A7 Summer S a l e ALL RUGS & FURNITURE ON SALE Kent Nishimura Los Angeles Times SUPPORTERS of President Trump clash with police at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Two men pleaded guilty on Friday to assaulting law enforcement officers that day. Two plead guilty to assault on officers in Capitol riot By Michael Kunzelman A New Jersey gym owner and a Washington state man on Friday became the first people charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol to plead guilty to assaulting a law enforcement officer during the deadly siege. The pair of plea deals with federal prosecutors could be a benchmark for dozens of other cases in which Capitol rioters are charged with attacking police as part of an effort to halt the certification of President Biden’s election victory. An attorney for Scott Kevin Fairlamb, a 44-yearold former mixed martial arts fighter who owned Fairlamb Fit gym in Pompton Lakes, N.J., said prosecutors are seeking a sentencing guideline range of about 31⁄2 to 41⁄4 years in prison. But the judge isn’t bound by that recommendation. Later on Friday, the same judge in Washington, D.C., ordered Devlyn Thompson to be jailed in Seattle after he pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer with a dangerous weapon, a baton. Thompson, 28, of Puyallup, Wash., had been free since his participation in the Capitol riot. The pleas come less than two weeks after a group of police officers testified at a congressional hearing about their harrowing confrontations with the mob of insurrectionists. Five officers who were at the Capitol that day have died, four of them by suicide. The Justice Department has said that rioters assaulted and injured approximately 140 police officers on Jan. 6. About 80 of them were U.S. Capitol Police officers and about 60 were from the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department. Fairlamb, whose brother is a U.S. Secret Service agent, was one of the first people to breach the Capitol after other rioters smashed windows using riot shields and kicked out a locked door, according to federal prosecutors. After leaving the building, Fairlamb harassed a line of police officers, shouting in their faces and blocking their progress through the mob, prosecutors wrote in a court filing. A video showed him holding a collapsible baton and shouting, “What [do] patriots do? We f— disarm them and then we storm the f— Capitol!” Assistant U.S. Atty. Tejpal Chawla said Thompson was on the front lines of the most violent clashes that day, in a tunnel at the Capitol. “This is one of the largest domestic terrorism events in U.S. history, where a group of individuals attacked the citadel of our constitutional democracy in an effort to overthrow the valid election results of the president of the United States,” Chawla said. Thomas Durkin, one of Thompson’s attorneys, said Jan. 6 was a “horrible, horrible event” but disputed the prosecutor’s characterization of the attack. “I think it’s dangerous to start throwing around ‘domestic terrorism’ in circumstances like this,” he said. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth set a sentencing date of Sept. 27 for both Thompson and Fairlamb, who has been jailed since his Jan. 22 arrest at his home in Stockholm, N.J. Thompson wasn’t arrested after he was charged last month with one count of assaulting a Metropolitan Police Department officer. His attorneys said in a court filing that he has autism spectrum disorder. They cited that as a reason for keeping him out of jail while awaiting sentencing. It wasn’t immediately clear what prosecutors estimate the sentencing guidelines should be for Thompson’s case. Fairlamb’s lawyer, Harley Breite, said he will ask the judge for a sentence below the government’s recommended guidelines. Fairlamb’s involvement in the riot has “eviscerated large parts of his life,” his attorney said. “He has lost his business. The mortgage on his home where he lives with his wife is in peril. And he has been publicly disgraced,” Breite said during an interview after Friday’s remote hearing. Breite said his client wanted to “pay the price for what he had done and then move on with his life.” “It wasn’t so much about the deal. It was about his desire to own up to what he had done, make himself a better person for the future and move on,” the lawyer added. Fairlamb pleaded guilty to two counts, obstruction of an official proceeding and assaulting a Metropolitan Police Department officer. The counts carry a maximum of more than 20 years in prison. Another video captured Fairlamb shoving and punching a police officer in the head after he left the Capitol, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit. “As a former MMA fighter, the defendant was well aware of the injury he could have inflicted on” the officer, prosecutors wrote. “His actions and words on that day all indicate a specific intent to obstruct a congressional proceeding through fear, intimidation, and violence, including violence against uniformed police officers.” Fairlamb’s brother was one of the Secret Service agents assigned to protect First Lady Michelle Obama, Breite said. Fairlamb’s social media accounts indicated that he subscribed to the QAnon conspiracy theory and promoted a bogus claim that former President Trump would become the first president of “the new Republic” on March 4, prosecutors wrote. More than 560 people have been charged with federal crimes, and authorities are still searching for hundreds more. At least 165 defendants have been charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding officers or Capitol employees, including more than 50 people charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer, the Justice Department said in July. Fairlamb and Thompson are at least the 32nd and 33rd defendants to plead guilty. Most of the others have pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges, including parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. 25,000 Rugs and Furniture In Stock.

The plane’s emergency alert beacon was activated about 11:20 a.m. when the plane crashed in the area of Misty Fjords National Monument, near Ketchikan, the Coast Guard and Federal Aviation Administration said. A helicopter company reported seeing wreckage on a ridgeline in the search area, and Coast Guard crew members found the wreckage about 2:40 p.m. A Coast Guard helicopter lowered two rescue swimmers to the site, and they reported no survivors, the agency said. The identities of those killed in the crash were not immediately released. Alaska State Troopers and volunteers from the Ketchikan Volunteer Rescue Squad were to coordinate recovery efforts Friday. The plane that crashed, a De Havilland Beaver, was owned by Southeast Aviation LLC. “Our hearts are shattered at the loss of six people today. We are thinking of and grieving with the families of the five passengers and our dear friend and pilot aboard the aircraft,” the company said in a statement. “We are cooperating with the first responders and agencies involved, including the U.S. Coast Guard, National Transportation Safety Board and Alaska State Troopers.” The five passengers on the flight were from the Holland America Line cruise ship Nieuw Amsterdam, the company said in a statement. The ship stopped in Ketchikan on Thursday and delayed its departure after the plane crash. The cruise company said it was making counseling services available to guests and crew. “The float plane excursion was offered by an independent tour operator and not sold by Holland America Line,” the statement said. Ketchikan is a popular stop for cruise ships visiting Alaska, and cruise ship passengers can take various sightseeing excursions while in port. Popular among them are small plane flights to Misty Fjords National Monument, where visitors can see glacier valleys, snow-capped peaks and lakes in the wilderness area. In 2019, two sightseeing planes collided in midair, killing six of the 16 people on board the two. On its website, Southeast Aviation says it provides sightseeing tours to Misty Fjords National Monument and bear-viewing sites, along with chartered flights to other communities in southeast Alaska. The National Transportation Safety Board is sending a crew to investigate the crash. The team was expected to arrive in Alaska on Friday. The FAA is also investigating.

A8 S ATU R DAY , AU G U S T 7, 2021 LAT IMES. C OM Firefighters struggle as residents stay put [Fire, from A1] yondam as it grew by 110,000 acres. That was more than double the 50,000 acres by which it expanded the day before, said Rick Carhart, public information officer with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. “There have been times during the fire when pretty much every time that an ember would spot and land in grass, it was almost guaranteed to ignite and start another spot fire,” he said. Firefighters were working Friday to protect homes around Lake Almanor, where fire had reached the western shore but had not yet burned to the peninsula, they said. No deaths have been reported so far in the Dixie fire, but some residents are taking risks that alarm authorities. Law enforcement has issued evacuation orders for thousands of residents whose communities were under siege, yet some are choosing to stay behind, posing more challenges. Greg Hagwood, a Plumas County supervisor, said that in the last 72 hours, as fire has swept through or threatened small mountain towns including Greenville, the evacuations have grown tense — in some cases, residents have met law enforcement with weapons. “They are met with people who have guns and [are] saying, ‘Get off my property and you are not telling me to leave,’ ” he said. In response to those who flatly refused to evacuate, he said, deputies were asking for next-of-kin information so they would have someone to notify if the holdouts died. On Wednesday, authorities were forced to establish a temporary refuge area at a high school baseball field for people who had to flee or be rescued after they chose to stay behind in Chester. Some firefighters had to stop beating back flames to take people there, officials said. Such undertakings carry a cost, said Capt. Mitch Matlow, public information officer on the Dixie fire. “Then the fire can advance in areas where we might have otherwise been able to stop it, and the lives of the firefighters and the residents that they are moving to protect are put at increased risk,” he said. On Thursday, authorities arrested three people who stayed behind in an evacuation zone in the Lassen County town of Westwood. All three were taken to jail, cited and released — two on suspicion of entering or re- Josh Edelson AFP/Getty Images REGINA RUTLEDGE of Chester, Calif., covers her face at an evacuation center for the Dixie fire on Friday in Susanville. She has been living in her truck and was told it would be at least 10 days before she could go home. maining in an evacuation area, and one on suspicion of loitering on private property, said Lisa Bernard, public information officer with the Lassen County Sheriff ’s Office. “When we ask people to leave their homes, we take our duty to protect their property very seriously,” Bernard wrote in an email. Those who do stay behind are required to shelter in place inside their homes, and those who are found roaming the streets risk arrest, she said. Hagwood said that as the former sheriff of Plumas County and a resident of Quincy, its historic heart, he has been on both sides of evacuation orders — issuing them and being subject to them. A few years ago during the Minerva fire, he was forced to issue an order that covered his own home, as well as his parents’ up the street. Hagwood said the emotional intensity of evacuations on law enforcement and residents can’t be underestimated, especially in rural areas where everybody seems to know one another. “You are talking about people’s homes, their property, everything they have worked for for their entire lives and sometimes generations,” Hagwood said. “Having the government, whether it’s local, state or federal, coming in and telling you you have to walk away from it is going to be met with some pushback. “If you are in a large metropolitan area, you are making decisions that are affecting people you’ve never met, that you will never see,” he added. “Here, you are going to see them at the grocery store. You are going to be standing next to them at your kids’ athletic events going into the future.” Don Guess of Crescent Mills chose not to evacuate because he was tired of it — it was the third time he’d been asked to leave during this fire. The first time, he went to his father’s home near Lake Almanor. He was told to evacuate from there as well. This time, he stayed because every two hours, he needed to fill the gas on his generator to keep the sprinklers on at his house. But on Friday, after he’d been assured that firefighters were going to position in a place that would allow them to protect his home, he was planning to join his wife, who was already in Quincy. “It’s crazy,” Guess said as he bought a bratwurst from Gigi’s Market, which remained open to supply a steady stream of emergency workers willing to eat whatever its proprietor was able to make. “I’m going to leave after I get something to eat.” Firefighters were hoping that a break in the weather, with more stable and humid conditions on tap for the next week or so, would help them get the upper hand. Still, the fire’s containment had fallen to 21% by Friday night, and more than 13,800 structures remained threatened. Smoke was polluting communities downwind Friday, including much of Lake Tahoe. The Dixie fire ignited July 13 near a Pacific Gas & Electric Co. power station in Feather River Canyon. PG&E has said its equipment might be to blame and might also have started a separate fire nine days later that eventually merged with the Dixie fire. A perfect storm of conditions has driven the fire’s rapid spread, officials say. “It’s all of the things together,” Matlow said Thursday. “It’s the heat. It’s the dry fuels. It’s the drought. It’s the wind we saw yesterday. It’s the slope.” Firefighters were initially challenged by the steep, remote terrain, with some spots so rugged they were unable to get engines close enough to bring in hose. The fire then moved into areas with heavy timber and no recent burn history, where the undergrowth served as so-called ladder fuel that allowed flames to get up into the crowns of the trees. “That’s where you also get very extreme fire growth, is from those trees spotting ahead of themselves,” Carhart said. After the fire grew for roughly three weeks and amid deteriorating weather conditions that saw winds gusting to 40 mph, it met unburned islands of fuel inside the perimeter that threw embers across containment lines firefighters had established, Carhart said. That set off its run toward Lake Almanor, Greenville and Chester, he said. By then, its sheer size had made it impossible to control, as it sent up a huge plume of smoke and ash that generated its own weather patterns. “The fire was so big that it was then building on its own,” Carhart said. As firefighters scrambled to make progress against the behemoth, some residents were allowed back into the ruins of their communities. Kevin Goss, a Greenville pharmacy owner and Plumas County supervisor, got his chance to assess the damage in his hometown Friday for the first time since he evacuated. At the first road checkpoint, Goss met a state trooper who was on duty while his own home in Colfax was under evacuation orders. Farther up the road, where he had to travel be- hind a pilot vehicle because the retaining wall of the bridge was still on fire, he came across county Sheriff Todd Johns coming down from the mountain. Both men had been friends for years, and they were stoic but stunned by the losses they were witnessing. Goss soon came across another close friend, a state trooper whose home lay in ash less than half a mile from where he was on duty. The men traded news on where the fire was moving, relentlessly closer to Goss’ home deeper in the valley. Goss turned on a back road leading into Greenville to check on friends’ homes. At site after site, houses where he had gathered with friends and family had been reduced to nothing more than molten steel and heaps of ruin. The fire had incinerated the Hideaway Motel and Lodge, which his parents had owned when they first moved here in the 1970s, down to its giant stone fireplace. It was a good place to grow up, Goss said, recalling being snowed in one New Year’s when he was 5, when the entire town came on snowmobiles to celebrate the holiday. Farther down, there were some signs that not everything had burned. A brownsided home that belonged to his former brother-in-law was unscathed, its satellite dish still pointing toward the sky. Nearby, two chickens pecked at crab apples that had fallen from a tree, and deer that had survived the blaze were roaming yards where sprinklers had kept grass green. The road so filled with smoke that it required headlights in the middle of the day. Slowly, Goss was edging closer to what he really wanted to see: the oldest building in town, built in 1860. His pharmacy. When the property finally came into sight, there was little but shock on his face. Nothing remained. At the back edge of the building was a pile of twisted plastic with the remains of an old child’s fire truck. It had been a toy he played with when he was a child, its metal hull now black, its red paint gone. Standing beside the ruin, Goss could only try to find some humor amid the Dixie fire’s ashes. “I didn’t even know there were bricks inside some of these walls,” he said, looking at their remains in the rubble. “That’s funny.” Ready to roll up your sleeve again? Not so fast [Boosters, from A1] remain at far greater risk of being infected and even more in danger of becoming seriously ill. For the week of July 31, the average coronavirus case rate among unvaccinated Californians was 33 per 100,000 people per day, nearly five times the comparable rate of vaccinated individuals. And in Los Angeles County — home to a quarter of the state’s population — the risk of being hospitalized for COVID-19 is now 19 times higher among those who are not fully vaccinated than it is for those who are, Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said Thursday. “The eyes on the prize should be preventing hospitalizations, in terms of resources, and serious disease and death,” said Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectiousdiseases specialist at UC San Francisco. “Rather than have people fuss over a third or fourth shot for [the] general population in the U.S. and rich countries, really, we’re not going to get ahead of this pandemic until the world is uniformly” vaccinated. Still, some experts said there are select groups — such as immunocompromised people — that could benefit from boosters. And it’s clear there’s a demand. In San Francisco, which has hardly shied away from aggressive measures to counter COVID-19, public health officials announced Tuesday that they would start accommodating special requests for anyone who previously received the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine to get a supplementary dose of either Pfizer- Francine Orr Los Angeles Times JOHN MESTA receives a COVID-19 inoculation at a skid row vaccination clinic held by advocacy group Los Angeles Community Action Network on Wednesday. BioNTech or Moderna. San Francisco appears to be the first, and perhaps the only, jurisdiction in California that is permitting the practice. As of Friday, just over 420 people had opted to get a supplemental dose, health officials said. Dr. Naveena Bobba, San Francisco’s acting health officer, said the decision followed requests from some residents who were hoping another shot would afford them additional protection. However, San Francisco health officials say that they are not actually recommending the practice and that the move did not constitute a policy change. And Bobba said anyone seeking a supplemental shot must first speak to a doctor. “We have full confidence in all three vaccines being used today,” she said. “The vaccines work. The differ- ence between getting COVID-19 while vaccinated could be the sniffles versus suffocation if you’re unvaccinated.” While Pfizer has already announced plans to seek U.S. authorization for a supplemental dose of its twoshot COVID-19 vaccine, and Moderna said Thursday it is preparing for the possibility of doing the same, much of the public discourse around boosters has centered on Johnson & Johnson. The single-dose vaccine, once hailed as a potential game-changer, has instead been dogged by production issues, the discovery of some rare potential side effects and a lingering public perception that it’s subpar compared with its two-shot counterparts. Dr. Robert Wachter, chair of UC San Francisco’s Department of Medicine, said those who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine could stand to benefit from a booster — along with those who are elderly or who were vaccinated more than six months ago. For those groups, he said, the benefits of another shot “outweigh the risks.” But generally, many health officials maintain all three available vaccines are highly effective at stemming coronavirus infection, and especially so at preventing severe disease. According to figures presented during a recent federal health briefing, Johnson & Johnson has been 72% effective against clinically recognizable disease in the United States. “Breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated people are the exception, not the rule. And when they do happen, the vast majority are mild and asymptomatic,” U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said Thursday. However, given the high transmissibility of the Delta variant, there have been concerns that Johnson & Johnson recipients may be more susceptible to postvaccination infection. Though it’s unclear how many breakthrough cases in California have been among those who got that vaccine, Los Angeles County officials shared data last week showing only 0.27% of people vaccinated with Johnson & Johnson had later become infected — compared with 0.15% of Pfizer-BioNTech recipients and 0.09% of those who got Moderna. At this point, neither the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention nor the Food and Drug Administration is recommending additional shots for those who have completed their inoculation regimen. In a joint statement last month, the agencies said that “Americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a booster shot at this time” but added that health officials “continue to review any new data as it becomes available” and “are prepared for booster doses if and when the science demonstrates that they are needed.” California is also aligned with the feds on the booster issue, according to state health officials. Though boosters may not be necessary now for everyone, some health officials say one group may need them sooner than most: those who have compromised immune systems and may not get the same kind of protection from the standard course of shots. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious-diseases expert, said that “immunocompromised individuals are vulnerable” as data show they “in general do not make an adequate response that we feel would be adequately protective.” “It is extremely important for us to move to get those individuals their boosters, and we are now working on that,” he said during a briefing Thursday. “And we’ll make that be implemented as quickly as possible because, for us and for the individuals involved, it is a very high priority.” Another issue in the booster debate is the enormous disparity in vaccine access around the globe. While the United States and some other wealthy countries are awash in doses, many poorer populations are still desperately awaiting their deliveries. The World Health Organization on Wednesday called for a moratorium on vaccine booster shots through September, for a chance to reach the agency’s goal of vaccinating 10% of every country’s population. Already, nearly half of all Americans — and roughly 54% of Californians — have been fully vaccinated. But Wachter doubted that the U.S. would be likely to part with too much of its supply. “If we start seeing many people get sick with COVID for lack of a booster shot, and the reason we don’t have enough shots is we’ve sent them abroad, that’s asking a lot of a country,” he said. “And I think it’s unlikely that any country will make that choice.”
SAT URDAY , AUGUST 7, 2021 L AT I ME S . CO M A9 BUSINESS Is ‘remote entertainment’ here to stay? When the world shut down, apps for socializing virtually hit the mainstream By Brian Contreras For its first few years, Teleparty seemed doomed to be a niche product. The browser extension, which lets users sync up their Netflix accounts so they can watch the same thing at the same time, was a hit among couples in long-distance relationships. Otherwise, few people had heard of it. Then, in March 2020, the app suddenly found itself with a planet’s worth of potential users. Lockdowns weren’t great for movie theaters or the economy as a whole. But for Teleparty, they were “a huge accelerant,” Chief Executive Shaurya Jain said. “We definitely grew a lot.” And the company wasn’t alone. Call it “remote entertainment,” a counterpart to remote work. At the end of a long day of video calls and Slack messages, workers unable or unwilling to meet up at the bar can mouse over to another tab for some virtual socialization on apps such as Discord and Clubhouse. Think of it as Zoom: After Hours. The pandemic gave this burgeoning phenomenon a boost, pushing into the mainstream what had previously been the domain of gamers, overseas soldiers and other sub-communities. These days, everyone’s living life online and at a distance. Although the future of remote work is largely in the hands of employers, the future of remote entertainment will come down to what happens once consumers are free to resume the face-to-face activities they were enjoying two years ago — whenever that happens. (With hospitalizations rising and cities implementing new mask mandates in response to the Delta variant of the coronavirus, it may not be for some time.) When Abraham Shafi named his event discovery app IRL — “in real life” — he wasn’t anticipating a future in which meet-ups would be taking place primarily in cyberspace. After a pause on featuring nonvirtual events during Teleparty TELEPARTY lets users stream shows at the same time and watch “together.” The pandemic was “a huge ac- celerant” for the platform, its CEO said. Apps such as Discord and Clubhouse also benefited from lockdowns. the height of the pandemic, IRL is working on reintroducing them while planning for a hybridized future in which there’s less of a distinction between online and offline entertainment. “We’ve all learned how to engage online more than ever,” Shafi said, comparing remote entertainment to a muscle that consumers and creators have strengthened during quarantine. People have been primed, he said, for a future in which concerts get livestreamed and digital movie premieres are cultural moments in their own right. (That future is already here for some entertainers; last month, the listening party for Kanye West’s latest album took place simultaneously at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium and on an Apple Music livestream.) “Realizing that there’s a whole revenue channel online is massive,” Shafi said. And many entertainment companies wouldn’t have come to that realization for a while (if ever), had the pandemic not forced them to. “You need a drastic global event or personal event to change our habits, for the most part, especially at a scale of a business or consumer habits,” Shafi said. For many tech companies in the entertainment space, that is exactly what has happened. Discord — a forum-based platform that offers a mix of text, voice and video chat — was around for a few years before the coronavirus hit. But the pandemic accelerated the platform’s growth as home-bound users “sought ways to stay in touch and spend quality time with their communities,” a company spokesperson said in an email. These included not just the gamers for which the platform is known but also book clubs, study groups and networks of sports fans. The result: In 2020, revenue tripled and user growth doubled, the spokesperson said. In March, Microsoft reportedly held discussions about acquiring Discord for more than $10 billion. “We are incredibly confident in the strength of our business and our growth trajectory, and are already seeing that people are continuing to turn to Discord to find community and belonging, even as the world reopens,” the spokesperson said. For the audio-only conversation app Clubhouse, maintaining an upward trajectory as users’ options open up has been a challenge. The platform launched amid widespread stay-at-home orders and proved a sensation despite, or perhaps because of, an invitation-only policy. Open to all as of July and cloned by better-established platforms, Clubhouse has underwhelmed many observers in terms of recent growth, although its international metrics remain strong. (For startups, whose investors need massive hits to balance out their many misses, slow growth can be as bad as none at all.) Although its initial popularity seemingly owed much to a captive audience of lonely, bored, shelteredin-place users, Clubhouse “wasn’t launched to be a pandemic solution,” Maya Watson, head of global marketing, emphasized to The Times. But, she said, “sometimes there’s the right product at the right time.” When the pandemic does end, she said, the company will be able to explore new use cases — commutes, for instance — and experiment with hybrid online-offline models. “For the BET Awards … we sent a creator to the red carpet who was there doing interviews, but then she was live in a Clubhouse room at the same time,” Watson said. Meanwhile, for Teleparty — a social distancing product created before social distancing was a thing — the pandemic has been a proof of concept for what wider adoption might look like in the future. Jain, the CEO, says he got the idea for the app from college students who would “Netflix and chill” while on campus, then wound up in long-distance relationships after going home for the holidays or moving to other cities. “I realized that there was an opportunity to build a better experience for them,” he said. Another programmer, Stephan Boyer, had already developed a similar tool, which Jain says he acquired. From there, the company slowly grew as more college students and a smattering of users from other groups, such as military personnel, joined. “We definitely saw the ebbs and flows of seasonality when we had college students as our primary user base,” Jain said. “Every summer we’d see a big spike, and every fall we’d see a small dip. But it ended up trending upward.” Within a few days of the World Health Organization declaring a pandemic in March 2020, the founder of the consumer advice website Product Hunt tweeted that he was “seeing a surge of traffic to Netflix Party” — the app’s name before it began also supporting Hulu, Disney+ and HBO. Domestic Google searches for the platform grew 100-fold between March 1 and March 21, 2020. Article after article pitched it as a way for readers to maintain their social lives during the early weeks of sheltering in place. Teleparty declined to share numbers on its growth since the onset of social distancing, but Google’s Chrome store puts the browser extension at more than 10 million users. And Jain expects Teleparty, after a year and a half in which people lived life online, to retain many of them. “Some people will go back, but some people also enjoy the benefits,” he said. “It’s hard to detract away from the convenience that remote work and remote entertainment provide.” Julia Alexander, a senior strategy analyst at Parrot Analytics whose work has focused on the streaming industry, agrees. “People who might not have been as tech-savvy in 2019 or 2018 — I think of my parents, for example — people who were not necessarily looking to have a communal experience with someone over the internet while they were watching a movie or watching a TV show, suddenly, that’s become much more accessible, much more available and oftentimes free,” Alexander said. “Even in a post-pandemic world — whenever that happens — what they’ve created is permanent.” From now on, when people are homesick or even just lonely, apps like Teleparty and Discord will be among the default activities they turn to, she added. “Those are permanent mainstays, and I think we will see usage temper off a little bit, but kind of always be there.” Ben Klase is a case in point. A 25-year-old from the Colorado foothills, Klase had never used Teleparty before the lockdown. But once he downloaded the app, it became a frequent social outlet for Klase, who is at high risk of complications should he contract the coronavirus, to connect with friends from the safety of his home. Now, he said, it’s here to stay. “I actually met my girlfriend through Reddit during the pandemic, and she lives in Minnesota, so it’s a nice thing for us to do together,” Klase said. “And then, my brother lives in New York, so sometimes we’ll watch something if we’re not playing video games. I mean, I’ll definitely keep using it.” Job growth strong in July, but Biden isn’t gloating The drop to 5.4% unemployment eases economic fears but comes with caveats. By Eli Stokols and Don Lee WASHINGTON — President Biden took a restrained victory lap Friday after receiving the best jobs report in nearly a year, and urged Americans to get vaccinated to prevent a resurgent coronavirus from jeopardizing the country’s economic recovery. “My message today is not one of celebration,” Biden said. “It’s one to remind us we have a lot of hard work left to be done.” The report from the Labor Department showed a hiring surge in July, with American employers adding 943,000 jobs and the unemployment rate dropping to 5.4%. The news was a relief to policymakers and economists who’d feared the data might reflect the damaging effects of the Delta variant and continued supply bottlenecks and labor shortages. And, make no mistake, it was welcome news inside the White House. “What is indisputable now is this: The Biden plan is working, the Biden plan is producing results and the Biden plan is moving this country forward,” Biden said during remarks from the White House’s East Room. Biden’s somewhat tem- Nam Y. Huh Associated Press A SHOPPER passes a hiring sign as she enters a store in Morton Grove, Ill. The nation’s jobless rate has fallen sharply since hitting 14.8% in April of last year. pered reaction underlined the broader uncertainty about the pandemic amid a fourth wave of cases. It also highlighted an awareness that rapid job growth could jeopardize his push in Congress to make sweeping investments in additional subsidies and tax breaks for working families. Republicans, who oppose that plan, have already started attacking the administration over rising inflation amid a surge in demand for things like used cars and hotel rooms. They argue that spending trillions on new benefits for the middle class — including subsi- dized preschool and community college — is unnecessary and likely to overheat the economy. “Biden and the Democrats are out of touch with the reality facing all Americans: Their money is worth less and less,” said Emma Vaughn, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee, in a statement. Democrats counter that more work remains to recover from the shutdown that began in spring of last year and led to the deepest economic contraction since the Great Depression. The Democrats’ proposed $3.5 trillion in subsidies for fam- ilies and workers, Biden argues, will stabilize the economy over the long term. With the 943,000 payroll jobs added last month — and almost the same number in June — the economy has regained about threequarters of the 22 million jobs lost in March and April of last year. The new jobs report suggests an easing of the labor crunch as employers stepped up pay, on top of other incentives such as sign-on bonuses, to attract workers who have been slow to return to the job market. For all private-sector employees, average hourly wages rose 4% in July from a year earlier, and the rate of increase was running at double that pace for restaurant workers. “The American labor market continues to make impressive progress, particularly since May,” said Leslie Preston, senior economist at TD Economics, part of TD Bank Group. “If the pace of hiring over the last three months continues,” she added, “all jobs lost due to the pandemic would be regained in seven months.” That’s a big if, given the Delta variant and the risk that consumers may pull back in the face of renewed public health warnings and mask mandates. Another month or two of solid job gains, however, will probably prompt the Federal Reserve to start withdrawing some of its stimulus earlier than initially thought by economists. The Fed is closely watching data on the labor market, as well as inflation, which has picked up significantly in recent months thanks to pent-up demand and widespread supply and delivery constraints. Leisure and hospitality businesses led all sectors in hiring last month, adding 380,000 to their payrolls. “Even as summer vacations and warmer weather brought jobs back to hospitality and leisure, these gains could now be threatened again as the Delta variant spreads and people again refrain from travel, social or entertainment activ- ities — especially indoor,” said Nicole Goldin, a nonresident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council’s GeoEconomics Center, in a research note. Even though unemployment has fallen sharply since hitting 14.8% in April of last year, millions more people are still unemployed, and many others remain on the sidelines of the job market, in part because of uncertainties over the pandemic. “The lack of vaccine for kids under 12 and inconsistency of school mandates as COVID spikes jeopardizes what was once assured to be a vibrant in-person back-toschool season, potentially hindering rehiring in education and continuing to keep women out of the labor force,” Goldin said. “The inequalities we’ve been experiencing on gender, racial or generational levels are likely to remain relatively unabated.” With infections surging again, Biden focused his remarks less on what he described as “the fastest [economic growth] in 40 years” and more on the real possibility that the virus puts all of it in jeopardy. Acknowledging that “cases are going to go up again before they come down,” he lamented a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” that’s “taking a needless toll” on the country. Expressing optimism, he encouraged unvaccinated Americans to get the shots. “America can beat the Delta variant just as we beat the original,” he said.
A10 S ATU R DAY , AU G U S T 7, 2021 S LAT IMES. C OM MARKET ROUNDUP A winning week for stock indexes soon as the end of the month. The solid jobs report and expectations for a recovery in the labor market could nudge investors back toward companies that are poised to benefit from people going out and spending more, including airlines, retailers, restaurants and other firms providing in-person services, Samana said. The better-than-expected data on the economy took momentum out of technology stocks, which have been some of Wall Street’s biggest winners since the pandemic started. They’ve been big beneficiaries of the ultra-low interest rates the Federal Reserve has fostered. When bonds are paying little in interest, investors are willing to pay higher prices for other kinds of investments, particularly stocks of companies with big earnings growth forecast far in the future. A rise in interest rates could undercut those stocks, or at least add a head wind that has been largely absent for more than a year. A slowdown in bond purchases by the Fed would be the first step toward raising short-term interest rates from their record low near zero. That’s why the Nasdaq struggled more than other indexes Friday. It’s also why the benchmark S&P 500 made mostly listless moves, even though more than 60% of the stocks within the index rose. Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia and other technology stocks make up 28% of the S&P 500 by market value, more than double the weight of any of the other 10 sectors that constitute the index. That doesn’t even include some big tech-oriented companies such as Amazon and Tesla. Those five companies were the biggest weights on the S&P 500. The biggest gain in the S&P 500 came from Corteva, an agricultural company spun off from DowDuPont. It jumped 8% after reporting stronger revenue and earnings than expected. That’s been the norm for this earnings reporting season. Close to 90% of the companies in the S&P 500 have told investors how much profit they earned during the spring, and their earnings were roughly double what they were a year ago. associated press Pablo Martinez Monsivais Associated Press THE WASHINGTON POST will require employees to be fully vaccinated by mid-September, according to a report by Reuters. Many companies have been reluctant to require vaccination, but that may be changing. These companies are requiring workers be vaccinated or tested Policies arise as the Delta variant spreads and as firms ramp up in-person work. By Andrew Mendez In recent weeks, amid an uptick in COVID-19 cases across the country, employers have begun implementing a policy they had shied away from throughout the pandemic: vaccination mandates. More companies are enacting requirements that employees receive a COVID-19 vaccine before returning to the workplace. Under some orders, those who remain unvaccinated must follow strict safety guidelines including regular testing, social distancing and mask mandates. Some exceptions are being made for medical or religious reasons. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 70.4% of U.S. adults have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as of Aug. 6. Though courts have sided with employers’ efforts to establish vaccine mandates in their workplaces, many companies have been reluctant to put such rules into effect. As of May, only 7% of companies had a mandatory vaccina- tion policy, according to a study by Tinypulse. But as the Delta variant spreads, large employers in varied industries are setting their own guidelines. In some cases, they differ greatly from company to company. Here are some private sector employers that have announced vaccine mandates, and the details of their policies: Cisco: The tech company said July 29 that it will require employees entering its offices to be fully vaccinated. But like many in the tech sector, Cisco is pursuing a hybrid approach to work, and employees who remain at home will not be required to show proof of vaccination. DoorDash: The food delivery company will require all corporate employees who choose to work in offices to be vaccinated, according to a report by Spectrum News. Current vaccination policies do not apply to “dashers,” the vast workforce that delivers orders. The company announced July 22 that it would be changing its model to provide more hybrid opportunities for corporate employees. Facebook: The social media giant will require U.S.based workers to be vaccinated when the company reopens offices nationally. Facebook did not make clear when the policy would go into effect. Frontier Airlines: The air carrier will require employees to be fully vaccinated and present proof by Oct. 1. Employees who cannot get vaccinated or refuse to will be required to provide negative coronavirus test results regularly. Google: The tech giant will require all employees returning to its offices be vaccinated. Employees will be informed 30 days before they are set to return to the office. The mandate will be contingent on how readily available vaccines are in certain areas. Hollywood workers: Producers may require all their cast and crew members be fully vaccinated if they are working in close proximity to actors. Mandates will be on a case-bycase basis. Tyson Foods: The food processor will require current employees in U.S offices to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 1 but will give employees at other facilities until Nov. 1 to be fully vaccinated. Less than half of Tyson’s employees are currently vaccinated. All new employees are required to be fully vaccinated prior to commencing. Union employees are not required to be vaccinated, but conversations are taking place, Tyson said. United Airlines: The airline will require all U.S.- based employees to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 25. Employees who do not provide proof of vaccination will be terminated, the Associated Press reported. The airline has been requiring new hires be vaccinated since mid-June. Walgreens: The pharmacy firm will require all employees in U.S. support offices to be fully vaccinated by Sept. 30. Employees who refuse to adhere to the policy will have to enroll in a COVID-19 testing program. The rules don’t apply to the company’s retail workers. Walt Disney Co.: Disney is requiring all salaried and nonunion employees working in the U.S. to be fully vaccinated. The company has given employees 60 days to comply. All new hires will be required to be fully vaccinated from the time they start working. Walmart: The retail giant will require all workers at its corporate headquarters and managers who travel inside the country to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 4. The policy does not include its retail workforce, according to the Associated Press. Washington Post: The news organization will require employees be fully vaccinated by mid-September, according to a report by Reuters. Being vaccinated will be a new condition of employment going forward. Wall Street capped a choppy week of trading Friday with broad gains, which helped push the S&P 500 and Dow Jones industrial average to new highs. The Standard & Poor’s 500 rose 0.2%, a day after setting another all-time high. Every major index notched a weekly gain after slipping last week. Some of the sharpest action happened in the bond market, where Treasury yields tend to move with expectations for the economy and for inflation. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed to 1.31% from 1.21% late Thursday, clawing back all the losses it sustained over the last week. Investors weighed a government report showing the U.S. job market is making widespread improvements. Most stocks across Wall Street rose after the report, with companies whose profits are most closely tied to the strength of the economy leading the way. Financial companies notched the biggest gains within the S&P 500, climbing 2%. Materials companies also were big winners, adding 1.5%. “Now, growth looks like it’s on a pretty solid footing,” said Sameer Samana, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. The S&P 500 rose 7.42 points to 4,436.52. The benchmark index notched a 0.9% gain for the week. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 144.26 points, or 0.4%, to close at 35,208.51. The Nasdaq fell 59.36 points, or 0.4%, to 14,835.76, while the Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 11.75 points, or 0.5%, to 2,247.76. Friday’s jobs report showed that hiring was stronger than economists expected, with employers adding 943,000 workers to their payrolls. Average wages also jumped 4% in July from a year earlier, more than economists expected. Bond yields jumped after economists said the encouraging jobs report will give the Federal Reserve another nudge to pare back its bondbuying program, which is trying to juice the economy by keeping longer-term rates low. Economists say an announcement by the Fed about a possible slowdown in purchases could come as Dow: six months 38000 36000 34000 32000 30000 28000 26000 Apple defends child safety feature Algorithm that flags exploitative images doesn’t threaten privacy, tech firm says. bloomberg Apple Inc. responded to concerns about its upcoming child safety features, saying it doesn’t believe its tool for locating child pornographic images on a user’s device creates a back door that reduces privacy. The Cupertino, Calif.based technology giant made the comments in a briefing Friday, a day after revealing new features for iCloud, Messages and Siri to combat the spread of sexually explicit images of children. The company reiterated that it doesn’t scan a device owner’s entire photo library to look for abusive images but instead uses cryptography to compare images with a database provided by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Some privacy advocates and security researchers were concerned after Apple’s announcement that the company would scan a user’s complete photo collection; instead, the com- Kiichiro Sato Associated Press A NEW FEATURE for iPhones scans photos to de- tect potential child abuse. Privacy advocates say the move has good intentions but creates its own risks. pany is using an on-device algorithm to detect the sexually explicit images. Apple said it would manually review abusive photos from a user’s device only if the algorithm found a certain number of them. The company also said it can adjust the algorithm over time. Apple said it isn’t breaking end-to-end encryption with a new feature in the Messages app that analyzes photos sent to or from a child’s iPhone for explicit material, nor will the company gain access to user messages. Asked whether the company will add end-to-end encryption to iCloud storage backups, Apple said it wouldn’t comment on future plans. End-to-end encryption, the most stringent form of privacy, lets only the sender and receiver see a message sent between them. On Thursday, the Electronic Frontier Foundation said Apple is opening a back door to its highly touted privacy features for users with the new tools. “It’s impossible to build a client-side scanning system that can only be used for sexually explicit images sent or received by children,” the EFF said. “As a consequence, even a well-intentioned effort to build such a system will break key promises of the messenger’s encryption itself and open the door to broader abuses.” Apple said the system had been in development for years and wasn’t built for governments to monitor citizens. The system is available only in the U.S., Apple said, and works only if a user has iCloud Photos enabled. Dan Boneh, a cryptography researcher tapped by Apple to support the project, defended the new tools. “This issue affects many cloud providers,” he said. “Some cloud providers address this problem by scanning photos uploaded to the cloud. Apple chose to invest in a more complex system that provides the same functionality, but does so without having its servers look at every photo.” Friday: 35,208.51 Up 144.26 F M A M Major stock indexes Index Close Dow industrials J Daily change J A Daily % YTD % change change 35,208.51 +144.26 +0.41 +15.04 S&P 500 4,436.52 +7.42 +0.17 +18.12 Nasdaq composite 14,835.76 -59.35 -0.40 +15.11 2,717.36 +11.19 +0.41 +17.81 Russell 2000 2,247.76 +11.75 +0.53 +13.82 EuroStoxx 50 3,612.96 -1.02 -0.03 +16.24 Nikkei (Japan) 27,820.04 +91.92 +0.33 +1.37 Hang Seng (Hong Kong) 26,179.40 -25.29 -0.10 -3.86 6 month change 1 year change S&P 400 Interest rates Treasuries Yield Weekly change T-bill: 1 year .08 +0.01 +0.02 -0.04 T-note: 5 year .77 +0.08 +0.30 +0.55 T-note: 10 years 1.28 +0.04 +0.13 +0.72 T-bond: 30 years 1.93 +0.04 -0.04 +0.70 6 months ago 1 year ago Bank & mortgage rates Rate Week ago 6 Month CD 0.15 0.15 0.15 0.21 1 Year CD 0.29 0.29 0.29 0.36 2 Year CD 0.33 0.33 0.33 0.40 30 Year Fixed 3.03 2.98 3.06 2.85 15 Year Fixed 2.33 2.28 2.42 2.35 30 Year Jumbo 3.07 3.05 3.23 2.89 Commodities Commodity: Unit Delivery date Close in $ Weekly change 1 year change Oil: Barrel Sep 21 68.28 -5.67 +27.06 Gold Ounce Aug 21 1,760.00 -52.60 -250.10 Silver Ounce Aug 21 24.31 -1.22 -2.57 Associated Press (Bank and mortgage rate figures from Bankrate.com) Online updates For current market coverage plus stock prices and company data, go to latimes.com/business

T his recall was supposed to be different. We’re in a crisis, and what sense would it make for California to change leaders so close to a general election anyway? Besides, we learned our lesson after 2003, when 135 candidates ran to replace then-Gov. Gray Davis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s victory seemed to cement California as an unserious political backwater, a reputation from which we’ve only recently recovered (if at all, some would surely say). But it may be happening again, and without the star power of Schwarzenegger or aloofness of Davis. (Sure, this time there’s Olympian-turned-reality-TV-star Caitlyn Jenner and the slick, always camera-ready Gov. Gavin Newsom, but they don’t come close to the contrast between the Terminator and an adept political fundraiser.) Polls show that Newsom’s position is increasingly precarious. Republicans running to replace him are debating and showing once again how the prospect of winning the governor’s mansion with a plurality of the vote gives them every incentive to stake out fringe positions that stir a small base rather than appeal to the masses. More of our readers, presumably those who remember what summer 2003 felt like, are expressing alarm. — Paul Thornton, letters editor If Democratic voters are not worried about the recall election, they should be. A conservative Republican could do a lot of harm in California. Most important would be decisions on mask mandates and distributing vaccines. And what if more variants appear? We have seen the havoc that ultraconservative governors can wreak. Just imagine a governor here in the image of former President Trump. Lynn Lorenz Newport Beach :: Unless you want to see this process played out late in the first term of every subsequent Democratic governor, then you need to turn out to defeat the recall. This clear abuse of the intent of the recall process needs to be solidly tamped down. If one is unhappy with the incumbent, there are elections every four years to express it. Dan Linn La Jolla :: According to your article on the GOP gubernatorial candidates’ debate, John Cox and former Rep. Doug Ose both say “they favored changing California law to force treatment on homeless people who are experiencing mental illness or addicted to drugs.” In the next paragraph, it states that Cox and Ose (in addition to former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, who also participated in the debate,) are all “united in their opposition to mask and vaccination mandates, arguing that decisions should be left to individuals.” Which is it? To mandate or not? Decisions are to be left to the individual, except when they aren’t. Karen Francis Santa Ana :: Instead of wringing their hands about the lack of “prominent” Democrats on the recall ballot, Democratic voters can take action instead. The best Democratic candidate to replace Newsom if the recall passes is Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis. Concerned voters should contact her office today or send an email urging her to stand as a write-in candidate by notifying the California secretary of state. She must do so by Aug. 31 to get on the list of valid writein candidates. Then, on the ballot, vote “No” for the recall but also write in Kounalakis, in case Newsom is actually recalled. This can prevent the Republican circus campaign from succeeding and still leave the state with competent leadership. Daniel Harrison Chula Vista :: Wild horses couldn’t stop me from voting. I have no strong feelings for or against Newsom, but the last thing this country needs is another Republican governor.

C O M / C A L I F O R N I A CORONAVIRUS IN CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA RECALL ELECTION Newsom changes tack to offense Governor criticizes GOP front-runner Larry Elder as a threat to Californians’ rights. By Phil Willon and Seema Mehta Gov. Gavin Newsom attacked the Republican topping the field of candidates trying to replace him in the September recall election, calling conservative talk show host Larry Elder a climate change denier who would restrict abortion rights and end the minimum wage if elected. Newsom’s broadside against his opponent Thursday comes just a week after a poll showed that likely California voters are almost evenly split over ousting the governor in the Sept. 14 recall election, and that Elder leads the pack among the candidates in the race. For months Newsom has criticized the recall effort as the handiwork of far-right supporters of former President Trump and a Republican Party intent on undermining his election in 2018, shying away from personal attacks on the candidates hoping to take his place in Sacramento. But at a Friday news conference in San Bernardino on school reopenings, and during a Zoom call with campaign volunteers the night before, Newsom went after Elder, though not by name, referring to him only as the front-runner among the replacement candidates.

In the same way Biles has inspired many in the sports world, she may inspire other Black people to be more proactive about addressing their mental health — and at a time when the need to do so has never been greater.

Breaking that barrier seemed a far-off prospect only weeks ago, when the state reopened its economy amid tumbling transmission rates and ushered in a hopeful chapter in the long-running battle against COVID-19. But the coronavirus has since rebounded with ferocity, and California is seeing a level of daily infection higher than at any point during last summer’s surge. Despite the rapid rise in cases, the numbers of Californians hospitalized with and dying from COVID-19 remain lower than those seen a year ago, and well shy of the darkest days of the fall-and-winter wave. Officials have previously expressed optimism that the patient count and death toll won’t climb back to such harrowing heights. But the full extent of the pandemic’s latest punch probably won’t become clear for at least a few weeks because hospitalizations and deaths lag behind spikes in cases. Over the seven-day period ending Thursday, California reported an average of 10,325 new coronavirus cases a day, according to data compiled by The Times. The last time that average was above 10,000 was in mid-February. The highest average recorded during last summer’s surge was 9,632 new cases a day for the weeklong period ending July 22, 2020, Times figures show.

After recent record-setting heat waves, the forecast this weekend looks comparatively balmy. Late summer in California always brings fire risks, but that’s particularly so during the second year of drought as the effects of climate change intensify around the globe. And so, elevated fire weather conditions are expected through Sunday across Southern California’s interior valleys, mountains and deserts, along with brief periods of critical conditions in those areas throughout the weekend. “We have strong onshore winds and it’s still warm out there. And it’s also still really dry,” said Kristen Stewart, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. [See Fire risk, B2]
B2 S ATU R DAY , AU G U S T 7, 2021 S LAT IMES. C OM State bill would limit vaccine site protests Legislation intended to curb harassment raises questions of its constitutionality. By Rachel Bluth SACRAMENTO — A proposal sailing through the California Legislature that aims to stop people from getting harassed outside vaccination sites is raising alarms among some 1st Amendment experts. If enacted, Senate Bill 742 would make it punishable by up to six months in jail and/ or a maximum fine of $1,000 to intimidate, threaten, harass or prevent people from getting a vaccine against COVID-19 or any other disease on their way to a vaccination site. The measure was introduced after protesters briefly shut down a mass vaccination clinic at Dodger Stadium in January. Now that mass vaccination clinics have mostly folded up, lawmakers worry that sites with less security than Dodger Stadium — such as pharmacies and mobile clinics in parks or fast-food parking lots — are vulnerable. It’s a sign of how toxic the issue of vaccination has become in a state with a long history of intense and divisive vaccine wars. State Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento), a pediatrician who administers vaccines to his patients, wrote the bill. He has been the target of anti-vaccination harassment since writing and championing laws that made it harder for parents to refuse routine vaccines for their children by eliminating personal belief exemptions and tightening rules around medical ones. He was shoved by someone who opposed the medical exemption bill in 2019, the same year in which an antivaccine protester threw menstrual blood onto the state Senate floor. Pan was also among the lawmakers threatened at a committee hearing this year. Last month, Pan volunteered at a vaccination clinic at a Sacramento park that he said was disrupted by anti-vaccine protesters with a bullhorn who made it hard for medical personnel to have conversations with patients and answer their questions. And though he can handle threats, he said, ordinary citizens “shouldn’t have to run a gantlet to get vaccinated.” That includes walking through a group of probably unvaccinated protesters and possibly getting exposed to the coronavirus on their way to get inoculated, he said. His measure prohibits obstructing, injuring, harassing, intimidating or interfering with people “in connection with any vaccination services.” The bill passed the state Senate with just four “no” votes and faces one more committee hurdle before it heads to the Assembly floor. The bill defines harassment as getting within 30 feet of someone to hand them a leaflet, display a sign, participate in any kind of verbal protesting such as singing or chanting, or conduct any education or counseling with that person. Blocking someone or impeding them from getting a vaccine is an obvious problem, and it’s good that the proposal would try to stop that, said Glen Smith, litigation director for the First Amendment Coalition, a California nonprofit that Lottery results Tonight’s SuperLotto Plus Jackpot: $14 million Sales close at 7:45 p.m. Tonight’s Powerball Jackpot: $226 million Sales close at 7 p.m. For Friday, Aug. 6, 2021 Mega Millions Mega number is bold 9-18-40-46-69—Mega 9 Jackpot: $191 million Fantasy Five: 14-17-29-31-36 Daily Four: 9-3-6-6 Daily Three (midday): 8-9-8 Daily Three (evening): 9-9-8 Daily Derby: (6) Whirl Win (9) Winning Spirit (11) Money Bags Race time: 1:48.69 Results on the internet: www.latimes.com/lottery General information: (800) 568-8379 (Results not available at this number) Irfan Khan Los Angeles Times A PROPOSED ban on intimidation, threats and harassment against people on their way to get vaccinated was introduced after protesters in January briefly shut down a COVID-19 vaccine site at Dodger Stadium, above. ‘To say you can’t get within 30 feet of them just to hand them a pamphlet or ask them a question? That seems to be overkill for me.’ — Glen Smith, litigation director of the First Amendment Coalition promotes the constitutional rights to free speech and assembly. But he thinks the proposal goes too far with its definition of harassment. “To say you can’t get within 30 feet of them just to hand them a pamphlet or ask them a question? That seems to be overkill for me,” Smith said. It’s worse than overkill, said Eugene Volokh, a professor of 1st Amendment law at UCLA. “That law is clearly unconstitutional,” Volokh said. He has two primary concerns with the proposal: First, though it’s modeled on similar laws that create zones around abortion clinics to prevent patients from getting harassed, this bill goes beyond what courts have upheld in the past, he said. In 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Colorado law that created an 8-foot “bubble zone” around a person entering or exiting an abortion clinic, but in 2014 the high court struck down a Massachu- setts law that created a 35foot “buffer zone” around clinics. A 30-foot zone around a person getting a vaccine is bigger than the court would allow, Volokh believes. His second concern is that the bill specifically prohibits someone from leafletting or talking to someone only about vaccines. That violates the 1st Amendment, Volokh said, because it targets certain content. Someone could hand out an anti-war or antifur leaflet and not run afoul of the law, he said. “I think it’s pretty shocking that a state legislature would try to enact this kind of restriction on fully protected speech this way,” Volokh said. In fact, antiabortion groups that initially op- posed the bill are now on board because it targets only speech in connection with vaccines. Elisabeth Beall, media coordinator for the Right to Life League, said a previous version of the measure didn’t specify that the restrictions would apply only to speech about vaccination. “This limits the negative impact of the bill on pro-life activities” such as antiabortion sidewalk counseling outside Planned Parenthood clinics, which provide abortions and vaccines, Beall wrote in a statement. Not all free speech advocates share Volokh’s interpretation of the bill. The American Civil Liberties Union said it has no issues with the bill as written. “It’s not necessarily the case that the freedom to ex- press our views is unrestricted,” said Kevin Baker, director of governmental relations at ACLU California Action. “They can be balanced with important governmental objectives” such as letting people get vaccinated in peace. Part of that objective is stopping disinformation about vaccines, which Pan said is the primary reason people are not getting the shots. “Frankly, any gains we make to try to get more people vaccinated are going to be incremental because of disinformation,” Pan said. And when protesters show up claiming they’re there to educate patients, “they’re talking about disinformation.” Joshua Coleman, cofounder of the group V is for Vaccine, which advocates informed consent before vaccinations, said he brought the bullhorn to Pan’s clinic to “educate those coming to receive the vaccine on important facts they deserve to know” and object to Pan’s bill. “The intent in attending Senator Pan’s vaccination clinic was to protest the censorship of important information and his egregious and erroneous attack on free speech,” he said via email. Pan said his bill was “carefully crafted” to stop the “obstruction, harassment and intimidation” of people seeking vaccines and is confident that it is well within the bounds of the 1st Amendment. “There’s precedent for saying you can protest. This law doesn’t say you can’t protest. There’s certain rules around the protest,” Pan said. “Especially as we’re trying to deal with this pandemic, we need to do what we can to be sure people feel safe getting themselves vaccinated.” This story was produced by Kaiser Health News, one of the three major operating programs at the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation. 4 million cases in state Drier conditions [Cases, from B1] And the rolling weekly average continues to rise — hitting 10,808 as of Friday. But the rate at which cases are increasing has slowed, including in L.A. County, where officials imposed indoor mask requirements last month and believe they have helped. Additional data illustrate differences between the current pandemic landscape and last year. On July 22, 2020, for instance, 6,825 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized statewide — compared with 5,328 on Thursday. The difference in deaths is even starker. Over the last week, California has averaged 27 COVID-19 fatalities per day, one-fourth the daily average nearly 13 months ago. Both the 2020 and 2021 summer surges pale in comparison with the fury of the fall-and-winter spike. At its height, the state was reporting an average of more than 40,000 daily cases, nearly 22,000 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized at times, and daily death tolls were regularly in the hundreds. Earlier in the pandemic, officials described the course of COVID-19 as a devastating domino effect, with increases in cases triggering resulting rises in hospitalizations about two weeks later, and in deaths a bit after that. But there’s hope that chain might be broken this time around, given how many Californians — especially older residents particularly vulnerable to severe disease — have already been vaccinated against COVID-19. In the past, Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said the trend has been hospitalizations “usually increasing two weeks after we begin to see significant case increases, and multiplying almost in direct proportion to cases.” “We’re not currently seeing that pattern replicate itself during our current surge of cases,” she told reporters Thursday. “Although cases have increased by about 550% over the past month, hospitalizations increased by about 290%.” It was less than two months ago that California bring elevated fire risk to Southland Irfan Khan Los Angeles Times DR. DAVID Haim Bolour, from left, Monica Botello and Cynthia Key go door to door in South L.A. to educate people about COVID vaccines Wednesday. celebrated its reopening — rescinding coronavirusrelated capacity restrictions and physical distancing requirements for the public at almost all businesses and other institutions, and declaring that fully vaccinated residents could go mask-free in virtually all settings. For the most part, such measures remain off the books. While some counties are now mandating that all residents mask up in indoor public settings, the state has issued only a recommendation to that effect. Officials are instead focused on vaccinations, which they say represent the best tool to not only turn the tide but also to armor California against the possibility of future coronavirus resurgences. “We can end this pandemic. We could put this behind us in a month. It’s a choice, at the end of the day,” Gov. Gavin Newsom told reporters Friday. Already, 54% of Californians are fully vaccinated, according to data compiled by The Times. But that’s well short of the coverage thought necessary to reach herd immunity — the level at which sustained transmission of the virus is interrupted. Estimates of that threshold vary, but experts generally peg it between 70% and 85%. Getting more people to roll up their sleeves is especially vital now, officials say, because of the widespread circulation of the Delta variant — believed to be the most contagious strain of the coronavirus yet. Given its ramped-up transmissibility, that variant preys particularly easily on the uninoculated. But many corners of California are now asking even those who are fully vaccinated to take additional precautions, such as wearing masks in indoor public places, to protect themselves. Government officials are also increasingly contemplating more stringent vaccine verification requirements as a way to further boost coverage. California on Thursday ordered that healthcare workers statewide be fully vaccinated come early fall. A day earlier, L.A. County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Hilda Solis issued an executive order requiring the county’s 110,000 employees to document their inoculation status by Oct. 1. Some leaders in the city of Los Angeles have also proposed requiring eligible individuals to demonstrate that they’ve received at least one vaccination dose to visit indoor places such as restaurants, bars, stores and gyms. “Those that are unvaccinated need to get vaccinated,” Newsom said. “That way, we can keep our kids without any stress or anxiety back in person throughout the school year, we can keep our businesses open without any stress or anxiety throughout the recovery period. We have that capacity.” Times staff writer Ben Welsh contributed to this report. [Fire risk, from B1] Stewart said the brief periods of critical fire weather will probably be in the San Gabriel Mountains and the Antelope and Santa Clarita valleys in the afternoon and early evenings, when winds are likely to be strongest. There is some good news, though: Even though several areas are expected to see windows of critical fire danger, the conditions will not be widespread enough to warrant a red flag warning from the National Weather Service. And after multiple record-setting heat waves this summer, the heat forecast for this weekend looks comparatively balmy, with temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s in the inland valleys and the upper 70s to the low 80s in Los Angeles proper. The mercury will probably hover around 100 degrees in the Antelope Valley. But, as Stewart explained, heat is “not necessarily a super big factor” for fire risk unless temperatures are well into the triple digits. The danger this weekend will stem from the gusty winds, particularly in the inland deserts, and the low humidity, with the driest conditions expected in the Antelope Valley. Humidity in the affected areas is expected to hover from the teens into the single digits. “If we get in the single digits, it’s bone dry,” Stewart said. She stressed that with no rain expected any time soon, Southern Californians should remain fire-aware. “We’re still going to be seeing elevated fire conditions at least through the summer, and then we’ll have Santa Ana [wind] season coming up in a couple months. So we can’t let our guard down until we at least get some rain later on in the winter,” she said. Several fires continue to burn around the state, with the 434,813-acre Dixie fire now the third-largest wildfire in recorded California history and the largest in the U.S. this year, surpassing the massive Bootleg fire in Oregon. As of Thursday, the state had seen an astounding 151% increase in acres burned across California compared with this time last year, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Smoke from those fires is affecting air quality in parts of Northern California and the Central Valley. Local health officials issued a smoke-related health caution Friday for the entire San Joaquin Valley. On Friday evening, air quality conditions in parts of the Sierra Nevada and northern Central Valley were considered hazardous, according to the federal AirNow index. Hazardous air quality conditions were also logged Friday in Northern California’s Trinity and Shasta counties, with planned COVID-19 vaccination clinics in Trinity County canceled Friday and Saturday because of the poor air quality. In the Bay Area, officials issued an air quality advisory through Saturday, writing, “Smoky, hazy skies will be visible across the Bay Area and smoke may impact localized regions such as in Napa, Sonoma and Solano counties, and higher elevation location.” Experts agree that the effects of climate change are an inextricable factor in California’s worsening fire seasons. “The exceptional fire weather this year and in recent years does not represent random bad luck,” Jacob Bendix, a Syracuse University professor who specializes in pyrogeography, or the study of wildfire distribution, told The Times last month. “It is among the results of our adding carbon to the atmosphere — results that were predictable, and indeed that have been predicted for decades.” Times staff writer Hayley Smith contributed to this report.

Vaccine Tree disease leads to quarantine policy for L.A. colleges Newly arrived ‘citrus greening’ threatens $150-million industry in San Diego County. By Phil Diehl By Colleen Shalby The Los Angeles Community College District will require proof of COVID-19 vaccination or regular testing for students and faculty members during the fall semester. The use of masks will continue to be required — a policy throughout Los Angeles County as cases rise due to the Delta variant of the coronavirus. The logistics for the vaccination policy at the nine campuses are still being hashed out, LACCD spokesperson William Boyer said, but students and faculty will have the option to get tested. Vaccination status will not prevent anyone from enrolling, working at or attending campus. Systemwide enrollment in the LACCD was about 230,000 in the 2019-20 school year, the most recent for which data were available. “In general, if employees or students do not want to get vaccinated or do not want to share that information, then in order to access the colleges or district, they would have to provide proof of a current negative [coronavirus] test,” Boyer told The Times. Testing will likely be necessary once a week. The Long Beach Community College District similarly announced last week that it would require proof of vaccination or regular testing. “The majority of LBCC’s student population falls between the ages of 18 and 35, and this is the population that is being hit the hardest by the COVID-19 Delta variant,” said Uduak-Joe Ntuk, president of the board of trustees. The LACCD previously said it would refrain from enforcing a COVID-19 vaccination mandate until the Food and Drug Administration grants final approval of the vaccines, which are currently under emergency authorization. The University of California and California State University have taken a stricter stance, announcing last month that vaccinations would be required of all students and staff members, with testing alternatives offered to those with medical or religious exemptions. Unlike the UC and Cal State systems, the California Community Colleges leave decisions on vaccination requirements to districts. The chancellor’s office has “urged all local districts to exercise their authority,” spokesperson Rafael Chavez said. OCEANSIDE, Calif. — State agricultural officials declared a 60-square-mile quarantine this week after a potentially devastating citrus disease was found in two trees on residential property in Oceanside, its first appearance in San Diego County. The bacterial disease called Huanglongbing, also known as HLB or “citrus greening,” is spread by the Asian citrus psyllid, a small insect that feeds on citrus tree leaves. The disease has been confirmed in Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Infected trees cannot be cured. They will produce bitter and misshapen fruit and eventually die, with the chance that the insect will spread the disease to nearby trees. Signs include blotchy yellowing of leaves; yellow shoots; small, lopsided fruit; and premature, excessive fruit drop. “Our goal is to stop this from spreading any further,” San Diego Agricultural Commissioner Ha Dang said in a news release. “By Karen Pearlman San Diego Union-Tribune MEMBERS OF the La Mesa Rotary Club pick oranges for donation in San Diego. A tree disease known as HLB, which can’t be cured, has been found in the county. working together, we can all protect San Diego County’s $150-million citrus industry.” The quarantine area is bordered on the north by Vandegrift Boulevard, on the south by Carlsbad Village Drive, on the east by Melrose Drive and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. People and businesses within the quarantine are prohibited from moving cit- rus nursery stock, plant parts and fruit outside the boundaries except for commercially cleaned and packed fruit that adheres to specific requirements. Residential citrus plants and parts may not be moved from the properties where they are grown. As of April 2020, Orange County had the highest number of HLB detections: 1,370 positive trees out of more than 1,860 found statewide.

Students get option to change poor grades By Howard Blume and Kristen Taketa High school families have a chance to change last school year’s letter grades to “pass” or “no pass” — an opportunity meant to show grace to students who struggled during the pandemic and campus closures. The deadline to take advantage of that chance is approaching. A new state law, Assembly Bill 104, allows high school students to request grade changes during a 15day window. The law requires that school districts and charter schools post a grade change request form on their websites and were to have notified families of the option by Aug. 2. Students have 15 days after that to submit a form, which their school must accept. The state legislation also provided other one-time potential benefits for students and their families. Parents also will have the right to request that their child repeat the same academic year. For example, if a child struggled in third grade, parents can request that the child repeat the grade. The district, however, does not automatically have to honor the request. In addition, more stu- dents will be eligible to earn a diploma because graduation requirements are being limited to only what the state requires. A school district’s additional requirements, which normally are mandatory, will not prevent a student from graduating. “At its core this legislation is about helping students transition from high school to college and ensuring that they are not derailed because of the extreme challenges so many have faced during this pandemic,” said Shannon Haber, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Unified School District, in a statement. “AB 104 is a step in the right direction to help students after a very challenging school year.” The deadline for exercising the pass/fail option varies by district. In Los Angeles Unified, the state’s largest school system, the school must be notified by Aug. 17. The school is required to change the student’s grade within 15 days of the request and is supposed to notify the student and student’s parents that the grade was changed. Details are posted on the district’s website. Students don’t have to give a reason for wanting to change their grade, according to the state education department’s website. “Pass” grades do not af- fect a student’s GPA and ensure the coursework still counts toward a student’s graduation requirements, said the office of state Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez, author of AB 104. School districts reported surges in Ds and Fs during last school year, as students struggled with distance learning and teachers grappled to find all their students and get them to participate. “For my three kids who spent the last school year in ‘Zoom school,’ I saw how difficult it was for them to adjust,” Gonzalez said in a statement. “Struggling in school during this difficult time shouldn’t jeopardize a student’s GPA, or risk their chances of being admitted to college and qualify for financial aid.” Both the California State University and University of California systems are accepting pass/no-pass grades for classes taken from spring 2020 to summer 2021. Some private and out-ofstate colleges and universities may require letter grades. At least 13 private institutions have said they will accept pass/no-pass grades in lieu of letter grades through the 2023-24 school year, according to the state education department. Early on, a major provi- sion of the legislation was the retention option, but there was strong pushback from educators who pointed to research suggesting that retention frequently resulted in long-term academic harm. That’s why the bill’s final form leaves it up to educators to decide whether a child will be retained. But parents at least will be able to demand a conference over pursuing this option — if they know about it. In Los Angeles, school officials are notifying individual students if they qualify to graduate based on the temporarily reduced requirements. “There are 747 students from the class of 2021 who are now eligible to receive a high school diploma,” said Alison Yoshimoto-Towery, L.A. Unified’s chief academic officer. On Thursday, the district conducted a webinar on the temporary rules that 2,200 parents attended. A recording will soon be posted. In addition, “many local districts and principals are conducting meetings in an effort to communicate the information about AB 104 to all our families,” YoshimotoTowery said. Blume writes for The Times, Taketa the San Diego Union-Tribune. A discussion by the Costa Mesa City Council about district residency requirements for planning commissioners — and whether they ought to be registered voters — spawned a debate on American citizenship and representation this week. After a 4-3 vote, planning commissioners will not need to reside within the voting districts they represent or be U.S. citizens to serve. The panel gave a second reading this week to an ordinance that would allow commissioners to change residences more broadly within Costa Mesa and give council members, who nominate commissioners in their respective districts, more discretion in filling vacancies. Several residents speaking during the public-comment period decried the move. The city’s “six districts need to be represented equally and fairly,” said Mary Spadoni. Some took issue with a provision in the new ordinance that commissioners would not have to be registered to vote in U.S. elections. State law allows undocumented residents to hold public office. The provision was added at the July 20 meeting, after an outdated council policy accidentally included in a staff report prompted fresh discussion about whether green card holders, recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and other lawful residents who cannot vote should be allowed to serve as commissioners. Hengameh Abraham, an Iranian immigrant who became a U.S. citizen at 21, said not requiring citizenship was a slap in the face to the qualified voters who elected the council members. “The only people who should be representing constituents, at any level, should be invested enough in their community that they are registered voters themselves,” she said. Councilwoman Arlis Reynolds made a motion to adopt the ordinance, explaining why she’d previously suggested removing the provision requiring commissioners to be registered voters. “It’s one of my highest priorities that every Costa Mesa resident feels welcomed to be a part of our processes,” she said. “We are a safer city and a better city if every resident has an opportunity to be an active member of our community.” But Mayor John Stephens, who previously supported removing the district residency and voter requirements, made a substitute motion to keep the voter provision, saying his thinking had changed. “Planning commissioners make decisions and actually vote on items that are very important to our community, many of which never come to the City Council,” he said. “That person who sits in that position should be able to also vote — vote for council, vote for the governor [and] the president.” Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Marrsaid the idea that noncitizen residents are less qualified to serve their community or less representative of America offended her. “There are plenty of green card holders who would absolutely give their lives to this country,” she said. “I’m so frustrated with the idea that those people are still not good enough to represent us on the Planning Commission.” Cardine writes for Times Community News.

It’s one reason, researchers say, that many of those people are reluctant to talk about it, fearing discrimination and rejection if they do.

But perhaps the biggest reason for the wariness is the stigma and shame surrounding mental illness. Enter Biles, with her unapologetic dedication to self-care at the Tokyo Games. After a triumphant return on her own terms and a bronze medal on balance beam, the Olympian told NBC: “If you would have asked me a couple years ago, I would have kept pushing through, but I’m at the age now where I kind of control my own mental well-being, and I knew that it was the best decision for the team and myself.” And this comes after equally unapologetic fellow Olympian Naomi Osaka pulled out of the French Open and Wimbledon to take a mental health break, admitting that she had “suffered long bouts of depression.” “I do hope that people can relate and understand it’s OK to not be OK, and it’s OK to talk about it,” Osaka, whose father is Haitian and mother is Japanese, wrote for Time magazine this year. Burke Harris called both athletes’ actions “incredibly courageous.” “We’re talking about Naomi Osaka, who was like, ‘OK, I’m going to step out of this, because I really am putting my mental health and my well-being first,’ ” she said. “That is significant.” She likened it to her favorite series, HBO’s “Insecure,” in which the Black characters regularly talk about self-care. “When I watch that, I just rejoice. It brings me so much joy to see the changing of the narrative,” she said. The question is whether all of this newfound openness will be enough. I’m going with Biles on this one. “I definitely think we’re on the right road for a different path,” she told NBC. “And the next generation, you can already see it.

And that’s on top of last summer’s racial reckoning. Meanwhile, the loss of parents and grandparents to COVID-19 has left many Black youths particularly vulnerable to traumatic stress, often manifesting as anxiety and depression. Even before the pandemic, studies showed that Black adults nationwide were more likely than white adults to report persistent symptoms of emotional distress, including hopelessness. And yet, according to the federal Office of Minority Health, only a third of Black Americans who need mental health care get it. Few understand this problem better than California Surgeon General Nadine Burke Harris. For more than a year, she has been crisscrossing the state, helping to train nearly 20,000 healthcare providers to recognize and treat their patients for toxic stress and trauma. It’s all part of her initiative ACEs Aware — short for adverse childhood experiences — which took on a new urgency with the pandemic. “It’s definitely a huge concern for me what the long-term impacts will be, in terms of our well-being and physical and mental health as a result of the huge stressor and disruption [of] COVID,” she told me. As a Black woman, Burke Harris has been particularly concerned about whether Black Californians would be willing to get help for trauma, even as the coronavirus continues to sicken the many Angelenos of color who remain unvaccinated. “It’s a cycle, right? The higher the infection and death rates, the greater the impact to the community. And the greater the impact on the community, the greater the fallout in terms of our mental and emotional well-being.” But, she added, “we don’t want to talk about it.

L AT I ME S . CO M S SAT URDAY , AUGUST 7, 2021 B5 GA RY B . NASH, 1933 - 2021 UCLA scholar helped shape American history curricula [Nash, from B1] politically driven outrage over the teachings of race in K-12 classrooms, Nash said the attempts to ban “uncomfortable” conversations will lead to less productive discussions. “We want division of opinions for young people to grow up learning to express themselves, argue about it, think hard about it,” Nash said. “Patriotism is not just saluting the flag. It’s becoming responsible citizens who will take an active role in what’s going on around them.” Nash had his own brush with conservative-led efforts to censor school curricula. As founding director of UCLA’s National Center for History in the Schools, where he worked for 20 years, he spearheaded efforts to diversify American history courses and championed the stories of nonwhite groups that were often excluded from history textbooks. While at UCLA, he co-directed the National History Standards Project, which included four years’ worth of input from teachers, historians, parents and educators Cynthia Shelton HISTORIAN, AUTHOR Nash tussled with Lynne Cheney over censorship in U.S. history classes. to propose a national history curriculum for U.S. students. Nash and his colleagues were ensnared in a political firestorm after the standards were published. Lynne Cheney, wife of then-Vice President Dick Cheney, led a crusade alongside conservative critics, attacking the standards as “politicized history.” Cheney complained that the standards, which were meant to help school officials recalibrate history Newsom goes after recall opponent Elder courses, were not positive enough about the country’s achievements. She also said they did not pay enough attention to American figures including Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and inventor Thomas Edison. Nash became the face of the project, recalled Ross Dunn, a longtime friend and colleague: “He was just doggedly determined to defend what we had done.” Carla Pestana, who leads the UCLA History Department and was a graduate student under Nash, remembered how the controversy took over morning news shows. Nash would appear on TV, early Pacific time, looking like he’d just rolled out of bed compared with the pristine Cheney. Still, Dunn said they sold more than 70,000 copies of the standards, which were used by state school leaders in designing curricula. Afterward, Nash, Dunn and their colleague Charlotte Crabtee co-wrote a book about the episode, titled “History on Trial: Culture Wars and the Teaching of the Past.” Nash wrote 33 books over the course of his career and more than 100 pieces for dozens of publications. He had three writing projects he was working on, writing and drafting up until his last days. “He had this boundless energy,” Pestana said, and offered advice to young scholars who sought him out — which was often. He was also an optimist who believed that the U.S., with all its flaws and successes, could move toward a better society. His third book, “Red, White and Black: The Peoples of Early North America,” re-conceptualized how Native Americans, African Americans and colonizing settlers shaped the beginnings of the country. “He really participated in that change of moving things toward thinking about diverse groups in society and the contributions of people other than the wealthiest and most politically powerful,” Pestana said. Nash was born July 27, 1933, in a middle-class sub- OBITUARY NOTICES urb of Philadelphia. His neighborhood was white and conservative, his daughter Brooke Nash said. He attended Princeton University on a scholarship and served three years in the Navy. He returned to Princeton for his doctorate in history and in 1966 accepted a position at UCLA and moved his family west. The move awakened his social activism, his family said. His wife of 40 years, Cynthia J. Shelton, said he helped integrate businesses, including banks and markets. She suspects his passion came from his years of studying history. When UCLA tried to fire Angela Davis for being a member of the Communist Party USA, Nash led the Angela Davis Defense Committee, his daughter recalled. His efforts prompted a visit from the FBI to his home in the Pacific Palisades, she said. He also posed as a home buyer to help Black families who were being discriminated against, she said. “He was kind of a radical,” Brooke Nash said. “He was not afraid to take action. He acted on his convictions all his life.” When Gary Nash retired from the National Center for History in the Schools, his colleagues and former students filled a book with memories and gratitude. Among the tributes was a 2002 letter from Karl Holzheimer, a middle school teacher in Bellevue, Wash. In the letter, Holzheimer said his students were captivated by video supplements he used from a textbook that featured Nash. “Within the first several weeks of school’s start, one of my 8th grade honors classes became — there is no other word for it — fascinated with your appearance on the American Nation videos,” Holzheimer wrote to Nash. “As they entered my classroom, they began to ask me if there was any ‘Nash’ today. They gave you the nickname ‘The Nashinator,’ a sort of history super hero.” Nash is survived by his wife, four children, nine grandchildren, a sister and a brother.

Newsom also accused Elder of being a threat to abortion rights established under the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973 and said he was a vocal advocate for hydraulic fracturing, the controversial oil extraction method that Newsom supports abolishing. “The leading candidate thinks climate change is a hoax, believes we need more offshore oil drilling, more fracking, does not believe a woman has the right to choose [and] actually came out against Roe v. Wade, does not believe in a minimum wage,” Newsom said Thursday night. On Friday, Newsom again tried his best to yoke Elder to Trump by saying the Republican has been endorsed by former Trump advisor Rudolph W. Giuliani and subscribes to the former president’s baseless assertion that the election was stolen. Elder has shaken up the recall campaign since joining the field, both in polling and in enthusiasm among GOP donors. The self-described “Sage from South Central” said conservatives such as fellow radio host Dennis Prager persuaded him to run because of his stances on the challenges facing California and because of the built-in support base of Elder’s longtime radio audience. A spokeswoman for the Elder campaign accused Newsom of “lashing out” at the Republican candidate because he realizes that his political career is on the line. “Gavin Newsom is running scared. He cannot defend his horrendous record on crime, homelessness, the rising cost of living, water shortages, uncontrollable wildfires, and tyrannical COVID lockdowns,” spokeswoman Ying Ma said in an email. “Larry believes in liberty, personal responsibility, private enterprise, and the ingenuity of the people of California, not Newsom’s repressive edicts or the cronyism of his allies.” Elder has raised more than $1.2 million since entering the race in mid-July, eclipsing other top GOP candidates including reality television star and retired Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, former Northern California Rep. Doug Ose and Assemblyman Kevin Kiley of Rocklin. Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faluconer, another Republican, bested Elder by raising $3.4 million in his campaign accounts but did so over several months. On Thursday, Newsom criticized Elder for recent comments to the Sacramento Bee and San Jose Mercury News in which he said the ideal minimum wage in California would be $0. “I’m not making that up — zero. I mean, he’s not even debating the merits or demerits of $15” an hour, Newsom told supporters. Newsom also warned that, if he is recalled, any Republican who takes his place would have the power to reshape the state court system and would have political allies such as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (RBakersfield). Californians voting in the Sept. 14 election will receive a ballot with two questions: Should Newsom be recalled from office, and if he is ousted, which replacement candidate should take his place? If Newsom is recalled, the candidate on the ballot who receives the most votes wins — no matter how many votes he or she receives. The crowded field of candidates is expected to splinter the electorate, which means a Republican who reels in just a small fraction of the vote could become California’s 41st governor. No Republican has won a statewide election in California since 2006. A recent UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll cosponsored by The Times found that Californians who say they expect to vote in the recall election are almost evenly divided over whether to remove Newsom from office. Though Democratic voters far outnumber Republicans in California, the GOP’s enthusiasm over the recall promises to inflate the potency of the anti-Newsom vote in September, according to Mark DiCamillo, director of the poll. Newsom said as much on Thursday’s Zoom call to volunteers. “At the end of the day, this is all about turnout,” Newsom said. “They may turn out in record numbers. But there are more of us, meaning more that believe like us — including many Republicans that just reject Trump and Trumpism.” Newsom told the volunteers not to underestimate the damage a Republican governor could do in California, saying he didn’t want to see the state follow policies similar to those of Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis. “They would turn back all the progress this state has made,” Newsom said. “We’ve had better health outcomes than Florida and Texas and better economic outcomes than Florida and Texas. They will take us off a COVID cliff. That’s what’s on the ballot Sept. 14.” DeSantis’ national profile has risen in large part because of his support for Trump and response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which bucked restrictions to stop the spread of the coronavirus. The Florida governor has prohibited mask mandates in schools, a ban that remains in place despite a major surge in cases driven by the highly contagious Delta variant.

Kuntz, MD. Pauline was born August 6, 1924, in Cedar Falls, Iowa. She attended the University of Iowa where she earned a degree in journalism. There she met then-medical student David, her lifelong love and the two married in 1946, and were happily married for 68 years. Pauline was a loving mother, unfailingly gentle and kind, a meticulous homemaker, always perfectly groomed, a superb cook and a hostess nonpareil. Pauline and David were both art lovers who performed extensive research prior to their frequent trips to museums, galleries and historical sites around the globe. For years, Pauline worked as a volunteer researcher under her niece Sandy Rosenbaum, a curator of textiles at LACMA. Late in life, she rose to the challenges of, first, caring for David at home for years as Alzheimer’s disease slowly felled him, then moving with David out of the house she loved to Belmont Village Senior Living Westwood where David died a few months later. Several years after his death, Pauline moved to Belmont’s “memory care” floor and somehow managed to create a life and make friends there despite her natural reticence and worsening dementia. Pauline was loved and is survived by her children, Stephen Kuntz (Jeanne) and Carol Patchett (Tom), her grandchildren, Emily Kuntz, Michael Kuntz and Samantha Klein (Aaron) and Benjamin Lysaght and Stephanie Lysaght (Leo Allen), and her great-granddaughter Lennox Rose Lysaght.

Mistakes make the best teachers! Taurus (April 20-May 20): There is a mystical aspect to what you are taking on, but it’s not worth thinking about now, let alone trying to describe it to others, as it’s unexplainable. Gemini (May 21-June 21): You believe that everyone is great in a different way,. You’ll have to search for the value in another that isn’t readily apparent. Cancer (June 22-July 22): Don’t take the chaos as a bad sign. You’re just early to the party. Things are still deciding where and how to settle in. You get to establish the rules. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): As you aim to keep stress low and spirits high, you succeed in creating the sort of day you’ll enjoy even as you build your sunnier future upon it. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The contemplation of one’s reflection is an all-around bad-luck move, especially for anyone who has real things to accomplish. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The time for blending in is over now. As you paint yourself onto the canvas of this backdrop called your community, use broad strokes and bold colors. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’ll model this concept today: Just because we put others first doesn’t mean we make ourselves less important. You’ll embody social organization with compassionate maturity. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You get swept into beauty’s slipstream and go where it takes you. Today you wind up where the wild things quench their thirst. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It is only natural for peo- ple who are good at one thing to think they’d also be good at an adjacent thing. The wise tend to the unique study each discipline needs. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This new venture needs definition. What you call a thing will strongly influence what it becomes. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Timing sends a message. Arguably, the spaces are more informative than the information that interrupts them. Today’s birthday (Aug. 7): To feel at once enveloped and miniaturized by something vast pulls your spiritual self to the helm. You make excellent decisions and find your way to people who sing your soul. You embody awe. Sagittarius and Aquarius adore you. Lucky numbers: 4, 25, 41, 27, 12.

Most board members have professional careers and are adept at having healthy and respectful discussions. One man has become aggressive and uncooperative. He puts down others’ opinions, sends hostile emails and presents his opinion as the only way to proceed. The other board members have discussed how to handle this person so that we can do our work in a healthy, respectful environment, but no one wants to say anything to him for fear of engaging him in argument. Your suggestions on how to handle this situation? Board Over a Barrel with him is too frightening for any of you to contemplate, then he wins. Isn’t your cause important enough for board members to stand up for it? Your board leadership should deal with this quickly, and in person. Two board members should meet with the person, present copies of offensive or hostile emails, and tell him that while his opinion on board matters is valuable, his hostility is undermining both his point of view and the work of the organization. Read through your bylaws and follow them. If things don’t improve, see if he can be removed from the board. Dear Board: The first thing to consider is what might be at the root of this person’s dissension. Is he advocating about a particular issue, or has he become disruptive across all topics? Is he wrestling with health issues or cognitive decline? If there is truly no one on this board who is capable of confronting this issue, you should all face the possibility that this hostility and disruption may damage your institution and could sink it altogether.

I was single until I was 48 and married at age 50 to the love of my life. But over the course of eight years, I found out that he was doing some bad things, and I couldn’t stay with him. I filed for divorce. I was devasted. I’d like to be friends with him, but for him, friendship causes him to assume that we will be together. We live in a small town. I don’t know how to walk the line between friendship and no contact. I want to support him but do not want to partner with him . We share animals, all of which are with me. He wants to be involved; this means he’s over most weekends. I don’t feel I have any peace. How do I handle this without hurting his feelings? In a Quandary Dear Quandary: I wonder why you are so worried about hurting this man’s feelings when, according to you, he is the guilty party leading to a divorce that has left you devastated. Because your ex seems to want to rekindle the intimate relationship, you should build some strong boundaries now. Sharing custody of the pets where they spend some time in his home is one way to create some distance. If that is not possible and you agree for him to visit the pets at your home, you might choose to run errands while he is there. You should reduce your contact with him to a series of cordial interactions. Send questions to Amy Dickinson by email to ask amy@amydickinson.com.

Forecasts by AccuWeather, Inc. ©2021 DAV E SEVE RANCE , 1919 - 2021 Marine whose men planted Iwo Jima flag By John Wilkens D ave Severance, a retired Marine colonel whose troops famously planted a U.S. flag on Iwo Jima during World War II, died Monday at his home in La Jolla. He was 102. There were actually two flag-raisings that February morning in 1945, the second of which was captured in one of warfare’s most iconic images. Severance spent years trying to set the record straight about who did what back then, and why. He cared about the flag story, he told the San Diego Union-Tribune in a 2012 interview, because it spoke to the courage and sacrifice he witnessed every day for more than a month during the battle, one of the bloodiest of the war. His company came ashore in the 10th wave of what eventually would be about 70,000 Marines invading the island, a strategic slab of dormant volcano about 660 miles south of Tokyo. They were met by some 20,000 Japanese entrenched in fortified caves and tunnels and determined to die rather than surrender. Severance’s 240-man, six-officer unit out of Camp Pendleton spent 33 of the battle’s 36 days on the front lines. About 75% of the company was killed or wounded. He earned a Silver Star — “I tell people it’s for surviving,” he would later joke — and had several close calls, including a bullet that went between his legs and struck a lieutenant standing behind him. Born Feb. 4, 1919, in Milwaukee, Severance grew up in Colorado and joined the Marines in 1938, hoping to become a pilot. He came to San Diego for boot camp and wound up in the ground forces. Severance first saw combat in December 1943, on Joe Rosenthal Associated Press THE SECOND TIME Members of David Severance’s Marine unit raise a U.S. flag atop Iwo Jima’s Mt. Suribachi on Feb. 23, 1945. It was the second such flag raising, and the photographer was dogged by rumors he had staged the photo. Bougainville, where his patrol unit turned aside a Japanese ambush. Sent back to San Diego and then Hawaii for additional training, he was promoted to captain and dispatched to Iwo Jima. On Feb. 23, 1945, the fifth day of fighting, about 40 members of Severance’s company were sent up Mt. Suribachi, the highest point on the island, with orders to plant the flag. When it was raised, Americans on the island cheered. Ships offshore blew horns and sirens. “The event,” Severance recalled, “gave a real boost to the morale of the troops in the midst of a grim battle.” He and others thought the fighting would soon be over. ‘The event gave a real boost to the morale of the troops in the midst of a grim battle.’ — D AVE S EVERANCE , on planting the U.S. flag on Iwo Jima They were wrong. A short time later, another group was sent up with a second flag to replace the first. Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal followed and took the picture that would become famous and win a Pulitzer Prize: six men heaving the pole into position, the Stars and Stripes snapping in the wind. The photo ran in newspapers across the country, an image that stirred the spirits (and war-bond-buying wallets) of Americans. Later, it became the model for the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Va. It’s also been a source of controversy, with various people coming forward over the years to claim they had a role in raising the flag. Rosenthal, who died in 2006, was dogged the rest of his life by rumors that he had staged the photo. For many years, the official Marine version had it that the first flag was replaced because the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Chandler Johnson, wanted a larger one that more troops could see. That’s not what Severance remembered. When the first flag was raised, he said, Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal, who had just arrived on the island, asked to have it as a souvenir. “Hell, no,” Johnson said, according to Severance. “We put it up there, and we are going to keep it.” A second group of Severance’s Marines was sent up with orders to replace the flag. The Marines would keep the first one, and the Navy secretary would get the replacement, which flew over Mt. Suribachi for the rest of the battle. Both flags are now in the National Museum of the Marine Corps near Quantico, Va. After years of writing letters about the flag-raising, Severance got a note in 2014 that the Marines would include an addendum in their records, acknowledging that there’s more to the story. He became a pilot after World War II and flew combat missions during the Korean War, earning a Distinguished Flying Cross. He was promoted to colonel in 1962 and retired six years later. In his home in La Jolla, Severance had a copy of the Rosenthal picture, signed by the photographer. He also had a poster for the 2006 movie “Flags of Our Fathers,” about the Iwo Jima battle, signed by director Clint Eastwood. Severance, portrayed in the film by Neal McDonough, was a consultant on the movie. His death was first reported Wednesday by the New York Times, which attributed the information about his passing to his family. Survivors include two daughters, Nina Cohen and Lynn Severance; two sons, Dave Jr. and Mike Severance; and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his second wife, Barbara, who died in 2017. His first marriage, to Margaret, ended in divorce. Wilkens writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

When she saw the scoreboard and realized she had finished third in the women’s 400-meter race Friday night, she thought not of having made history by winning her 10th Olympic medal and becoming the all-time leader in medals among female track and field athletes, or of tying Carl Lewis for the most Olympic track and field medals won by an American. The Los Angeles native, who turned her recovery from an emergency caesarean section into a crusade for better medical treatment for Black women during pregnancy and equitable treatment for all female athletes, thought instead of having made a journey that has been like no other and produced a unique reward. “It’s really hard for me, when I don’t win, to still have joy,” she said. “Tonight, I have joy.” Felix, 35, defied age, doubts and the obstacles thrown before her by the COVID-19 pandemic to finish third in the last individual race of a singular career that spans five [See Elliott, D3] Photographs by Stars still earn stripes Despite struggles, team wins gold for the seventh time in last eight Olympics Japan perfects art of convenience By Dan Woike Stores like 7-Eleven dazzle visitors with their variety and quality of ready-made meals.

It didn’t matter that the U.S. team was vulnerable, an embarrassing seventhplace finish in the 2019 world championships more than signaling that the world had caught up. It did not matter that the American roster, composed of some of the NBA’s best scorers, faces of their franchises with multiple All-Star selections, was more a group of mercenaries than an actual team.

After failing to protect an early two-run lead, then squandering chances to go back in front later, the Dodgers found themselves deadlocked with the Angels after nine innings in the opener of this weekend’s Freeway Series. In the first at-bat of the 10th, they fell behind for the first time all night. Angels shortstop José Iglesias lined a leadoff RBI double to score the automatic baserunner. Third baseman Jack Mayfield tacked on an insurance run on a pop up that squirted out of Max Muncy’s glove in shallow right field.

UNITED STATES 3 SERBIA 0 By Ben Bolch TOKYO — This one’s for you, baby. A first gold medal for the U.S. women’s volleyball team probably wouldn’t excite the individual who should be the team’s biggest fan, and also happens to fit into onesies. “He watches a little bit and is like, ‘Oh, Mama,’ ” said that mama, middle blocker Foluke Akinradewo Gunderson, “but he has no idea.” Kayode, all of 20 months old, certainly will grasp the significance of this moment one day. His mother’s team will play for the championship of these Tokyo Olympics on Sunday after blitzing Serbia 25-19, 25-15, 25-23 in a semifinal Friday at Ariake Arena. It was a thorough dismantling of the same team that had handed the Americans their only loss in 2016 in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics on the way to the bronze medal, a five-set defeat that U.S. coach Karch Kiraly described as “an absolute soulcrusher.” Gunderson suffered a knee injury in the first set of 9:30-11:30 p.m. Women’s volleyball: final (live) Peres Jepchirchir led a 1-2 Kenyan finish in the women’s marathon, withstanding the heat and humidity while running through the streets of Sapporo, Japan.

During her pregnancy, she had a common separation of her abdominal muscles that robbed her of core strength before she gave birth in November 2019. The day she was scheduled to resume jumping as part of her return, the pandemic lockdowns started. That confined workouts to her garage between breastfeeding sessions. When the team finally resumed training together, Gunderson completed a routine separate from her casted this day since she was a kid. On Instagram, she wrote: “Other kids wanted to be astronauts or firefighters; I wanted to be a runner. Even on the hardest days I try to remember how blessed I am to do the thing my 10-yr-old self only dreamed about.” She screamed when she crossed the finish line and said, “Hi, mom and dad,” into the camera.

The yearlong postponement of the Summer Games only enhanced her comeback. “She would have pulled it off even if she didn’t get those extra 12 months,” Kiraly said. “But having that extra time, I think, means Kenyan women place 1-2 in marathon wire reports 1:45-3:15 a.m. (Sunday) Women’s handball: final ANDREA DREWS spikes in straight-set win over ROUNDUP 8:30-9:30 p.m. Cycling: track finals 11:30 p.m.-1:45 a.m. (Sunday) Men’s water polo: final (live) Gary Ambrose For The Times that she’s much better now. ... She would have been very rushed to try to get ready for last year’s Games.” After struggling early in the tournament, Gunderson was among the team’s standouts Friday. Her serves led to four consecutive points in the first set and her blocking continually thwarted the Serbians’ comeback efforts. She also ended the only drama, at the end of the opening set. The Serbians survived four consecutive set points before a Gunderson smash provided the winning point. The outcome seemed assured long before the opportunistic DJ played Queen’s “Hammer to Fall” before match point. Gunderson’s big day started with a premonition she shared with teammates on the way to breakfast. “I envisioned us being clinical about it and executing the game plan,” Gunderson said, “and it was just nice to see it come to life.” After winning three silver medals and two bronzes in its 11 previous appearances at the Olympics, all that stands between the Americans and a golden breakthrough is a victory over Brazil on Sunday. Having deftly blended a roster featuring eight firsttime Olympians and a handful of veterans such as Gunderson, the Americans have rolled to back-to-back straight-set victories, putting them on the verge of history.

Griner and the Americans’ other inside players have dominated, leading the team to its seventh straight gold-medal game. U.S. women hoping to keep the solid gold streak intact Taurasi and Bird can extend their run with fifth Olympic basketball title in row. UNITED STATES 79 SERBIA 59 By Dan Woike SAITAMA, Japan — Serbia was looking for a spark; instead, it made a dream come true. With her team down big early to the U.S. women’s basketball team, 19-year-old Angela Dugalic checked in to make her Olympic debut, one of her final chances to compete in these Games before she plays for UCLA this winter. In her country’s previous four games, she was engaged from the bench, cheering as the Serbians muscled their way into the semifinals. Around the village, she’d been stunned at how normal so many superstars would act. Naomi Osaka and Luka Doncic both seemed so relaxed. Novak Djokovic spoke to her Serbian teammates with so much kindness that it felt like everyone had been friends for years. There were stars everywhere. And Friday, Dugalic got to see another wave of them all at once. There was Breanna Stewart, A’ja Wilson, Brittney Griner, Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi. Superstars in women’s basketball. Legends of the game. “Basically, everyone on the team,” she said with a smile. “… I always imagined playing against them one day. I didn’t realize it was going to be so soon.” Sometimes, things sneak up on you. Sometimes, they’re built over generations. The U.S. women continued their run as one of the Olympics’ most dominant teams, now one win away from a seventh straight gold medal after beating Serbia 79-59. The Americans will face Japan for the gold medal Sunday. The U.S. team recovered from a slow start in training, including two exhibition losses, finding ways to balance the job in front of them while dealing with the historic implications of what the Americans are trying to do. A win on Sunday would give Bird and Taurasi their fifth gold medals, further cementing their places among the most decorated Olympians of all time. And such a victory would extend an Olympic-winning streak that stretches to the bronze medal game in Barcelona in 1992. “I don’t think we really talk about it as much, but we’re all aware of it,” Stewart said. “Sue and [Diana], what they’ve done for USA basketball is extremely special. The fact that they’re going for five straight golds is insane. For the rest of us, as players, we want to make sure that we put them in the best possible position to get that gold.” Mostly stuck inside their hotel, really leaving only to watch the American men’s basketball team play, they’ve filled days with some video games and hotly contested Uno matches. Most of the NBA and WNBA players here spent time in a bubble last summer when their leagues finished their seasons. This, Stewart said, is worse. “I think we left the WNBA bubble like, ‘I’d rather not go into a bubble ever again.’ But, to be able to play basketball right now, that’s what we need to do to be safe, to play in a bubble,” Stewart said. “We were able to have a little bit more freedom with the WNBA. Here, we are not able to do that. It’s fine. We’re just happy that the Olympics are being held, that we’re able to be here in Tokyo. And this is a business trip.” Getting to the finish line hasn’t been easy, despite having undoubtedly the most talented team in the tournament. Bothered some by the Serbian’s physicality on offense, the U.S. defense was even less forgiving. The Serbs shot 33% from the field after being well under 30 for most of the game. Griner and the American bigs dominated inside. Griner finished with 15 points and 12 rebounds. Stewart had 12 points and 10 rebounds. Bird hit a pair of threes and finished with eight points. Taurasi grimaced in pain throughout the game and played just 12 minutes, 30 seconds. American coach Dawn Staley thought Taurasi would be ready for Sunday’s final, the end of their Olympic journey. “I think everybody here wants to win gold for them, for us, for everybody that started this streak,” Griner said. But it’s also important to lock in on the present, to shake the burden of upholding the program’s legacy and focus solely on 40 minutes of basketball. “We talked … about enjoying the moment,” Stewart said. “I think that right now, that there’s so much pressure knowing that it’s seven straight [golds] and things like that, that you kind of get lost in what’s actually happening and enjoying being at the Olympics, on the court, competing every single day. And I think we did that.” Across the court, that’s exactly what the Americans saw Dugalic do, playing with tons of pent-up energy after watching the Olympics from the sidelines. She chased down every loose ball, leading her team with 10 rebounds. She scored twice, both times thanks to running the court and beating the WNBA stars to the basket. During her 22 minutes on the court, the Serbians were three points better than the Americans. Following the Olympics, Dugalic will get to UCLA and settle in after transferring from Oregon. She’s excited but first her team will play in the bronzemedal game Saturday, a perfect way to cap the rapid realization of so many dreams. “This, this was a once-ina-lifetime experience,” she said. “Hopefully there will be more.” If the U.S. can win again, they’ll get to celebrate Bird and Taurasi’s last dance as once-in-a-lifetime Olympians, the perfect intersection of past achievement with present glory. “We celebrate our wins, and we turn the page and we look forward to the next time that we compete,” Staley said. “But I know it’s gonna be pretty special. I know, they’re probably just reserving [that emotion] for that moment of actually winning their fifth gold medal and our seventh straight.” TOKYO — My grandfather chuckled when I told him of the change of plans. Instead of visiting him and writing about it, I’d be writing about how I couldn’t visit him. Something about that tickled him. My grandfather, or ojiichan, is 94. Considering how youthful he sounded over the phone, I was surprised when he told me how old he was. Still, there were times in our conversation earlier this week that reminded me of why I should visit him as soon as I can, such as when I asked him about my cousin’s children. The last time I saw him was more than 20 years ago, the summer after I graduated from high school. My cousin was working and living in the Tokyo area but returned home a couple of years ago with his wife and children. How many kids were there again? “Three,” I heard a voice from the back. My grandfather laughed. “Your uncle says three,” he said. Calls like this have become a recent tradition, me ringing my mother’s jikka, or parents’ home, to tell my extended family members I wouldn’t be dropping by. I’ve visited Japan twice in the last four years for work, but my schedule didn’t allow me to take the twohour Shinkansen bullet train from Tokyo to the western side of the mainland, where four generations of the Watanabe family live in the same house. This time, the impediment was COVID-19. With the fifth wave of the pandemic coinciding with the Olympics, foreigners are viewed with suspicion in Tokyo right now. Potentially dangerous behavior by Olympics-related visitors has been breathlessly chronicled by the Japanese media, starting with how foreign journalists were permitted 15-minute excursions to convenience stores while in their initial quarantine periods. But in the rural areas such as the small town in which my mother was born and raised, it’s people from Tokyo who alarm the locals. While Tokyo earlier this week registered a single-day record of more than 5,000 new infections, my mother’s home prefecture of Niigata has yet to record a day with more than 88 new infections. National healthcare officials have advised people in Tokyo to refrain from leaving the prefecture. The warnings have magnified in volume in recent days, as next week is Obon, a religious holiday in which people return to their jikka and clean the graves of their ancestors. My grandfather received his second Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine dose in June, as did my uncle and aunt. I’m also fully vaccinated. However, even with older residents vaccinated, there are fears an outbreak could easily overburden the local healthcare system. My grandfather’s hometown of Mitsuke is a small agricultural town with fewer than 40,000 residents. The social climate in these rural areas is one in which it’s frowned upon for someone to even visit a major city such as Tokyo. My cousin Keitaro has a contracting business in Tokyo and continued commuting here even after returning to Mitsuke. But he hasn’t made a single visit since the start of the pandemic. Keitaro has a daughter in first grade and another in kindergarten. He raised a hypothetical scenario in which he visits Tokyo, contracts the coronavirus and transmits it to his daughters, who, in turn, become the source of an outbreak at school. “Everyone would be looking for the person who was at fault,” he said. “Not many people live here, so it would be easier to track down. And with everyone knowing everyone, they would eventually figure it out.” While Keitaro said he understood why I’d want to see our grandfather, he told me to not be too disappointed. “It’s the same here,” he said with a laugh. “Just rice fields.” I have pleasant memories of Mitsuke. Every other year, my parents, my younger brother and I would spend our summers there. From a young age, my brother, my cousin and I were granted the freedom to go pretty much wherever we wanted, so long as we were home by dinner. We’d fish in the irrigation canals. We’d wake up early and catch rhinoceros beetles; we’d kick the tree trunks, making the sleeping insects fall to the ground. We’d take the train to the nearest city with a video game arcade. I was curious how these pandemic Olympics were playing in a place like that. “We didn’t know they were actually going to happen,” my uncle Kazuharu told me. “We thought they weren’t. There wasn’t much buildup on TV, so we didn’t know the athletes or events we should pay attention to. When the Games started, it was like, ‘Oh, they started.’ Interest gradually picked up when Japan started to win medals.” My cousin said that even with Japan as the host, his sense was that interest is considerably lower than it was for previous Olympics. These Olympics aren’t for towns like his. Then, again, they aren’t for Tokyo, either. They aren’t for Japan, or for anyone who wants to visit. Felix’s record 10th medal is ‘much bigger than running’ [Elliott, from D1] Olympics. When the track at UCLA closed, she trained for the one-year-delayed Tokyo Games by sprinting through the streets outside her Santa Clarita home. She and her husband, former sprinter Kenneth Ferguson, packed up their 2-year-old daughter Camryn and went to Arizona for a while so Felix could train. She also returned to her old high school, L.A. Baptist, now called Heritage Christian School in North Hills, and ran on the track that had been named for her. She heard others downplay her chances of reaching Tokyo, much less reaching the final here, but she ignored the noise. On Friday, as always, she listened only to the voice inside her own head because it has always guided her so well. “Just fight, fight,” she said of what she was think- ing down the stretch. “I know that coming home, I was in Lane 9. Nobody thought I was going to be here. Nobody thought I was going to be in the final, probably besides Bobby [Kersee, her coach] and my family. I’m a fighter. The last couple years it’s what I’ve done. I knew I just needed a chance.” Shaunae Miller-Uibo of the Bahamas, who had outleaned Felix at the finish line to win the 400 at the 2016 Rio Games, dominated on Friday and won in 48.36 seconds. Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic set a national record with a runner-up finish in 49.20 seconds. Felix ran a seasonbest time of 49.46 seconds to add a bronze medal to her collection of six gold medals and three silvers. She can add another medal Saturday, when she expects to be part of the U.S. women’s 1,600-meter relay squad. “It was amazing to just see her come out and put it on the line in such a great race,” said Gabrielle Thomas, who ran the anchor leg on the U.S. women’s silver medal-winning 400-meter relay team Friday. “I think her legacy is showing you can do anything. Just her grace and poise and commitment to excellence is such an inspiration to everyone.” Felix’s commitment was tested often but never wavered. A wide-eyed teenager who won a silver medal in the 200 at the 2004 Athens Games, she became smoother and more confident with each Olympics. The 2012 London Games were her personal playground: she won gold in the 200 — her only individual Olympic gold medal — and in the two relays. She grew from a spindlylegged kid into a woman, a preacher’s daughter who saw her talent on the track as a gift and developed the voice and assurance to repay those blessings to the world. Through the Women’s Sports Foundation and Athleta, the clothing company she signed with after Nike said it would cut her pay by 70% because her pregnancy had cut her competition schedule, she directed a $200,000 grant to pay for female professional athletes’ pay for childcare and other support services. She has spoken before Congress about the need to erase the racial disparities in maternal mortality rates and has worked with the March of Dimes. “It’s definitely been a journey for me to get to the point where I guess I had the courage to do so,” she said of her advocacy. “I think that just comes with experience in life and I feel grateful to have this platform. Happy I was able to get to this place because there is so much that needs to be done.” She doesn’t rank her 10 medals in order of which was most important to her, she said, but the bronze medal she won on Friday will hold special significance. “This one, it’s just so different,” she said. “Like honestly, it’s my first bronze medal. Oh man, it’s hard to decide. Because I feel like all the other ones, I was really just so focused on the performance, and this one, it’s so much bigger than that. That’s all I can kind of explain it as, is that I was out there running, but I felt like I was a representation for so much more than just trying to get down the track. “It was just much bigger than running. It was much more than just whatever the clock showed. It was the fight to get back, it was proving to myself that I could get back. It was getting over all that adversity to get here. It just seems like the last couple years things have just come at me. I feel like I’ve evolved as an athlete and as a person and I’ve grown and this was just very special, to have it all come here.” After the race, Felix was able to FaceTime with Camryn, who will be 3 in November. “She kind of gets it now,” Felix said, smiling. “When I’m running, she’s always like, ‘Mama’s at work. Mama’s running.’ She’s kind of into it. She likes to cheer.” Felix’s work on the track is nearly over. Her work in the larger world has just begun, and she surely will be a champion at that too.
D4 S ATU R DAY , AU G U S T 7, 2021 SS LAT IMES. C OM/ SP ORT S THE DAY IN SPORTS DODGERS REPORT Bills’ Allen scores second-biggest deal Trea Turner to take over at second staff and wire reports By Mike DiGiovanna Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen can put behind all those who doubted his accuracy, his small-school pedigree and the hundreds of rejection letters he received from college recruiters. Allen is unwanted no more in having found a longterm home in Buffalo. The fourth-year starter on Friday became the NFL’s second-highest-paid player by signing a six-year contract that locks him up through the 2028 season. The contract has a potential worth of $258 million, of which an NFL-record $150 million is guaranteed. The Bills announced the signing, and a person with direct knowledge told the Associated Press of the contract’s value. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because Allen and the team did not disclose those figures. The total value and annual average of the deal rank second in the NFL behind only Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who signed a 10-year, $450-million deal last year. “It’s surreal to be in this spot right now,” Allen said in securing a quarterback position in Buffalo that had been unsettled since since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly retired 25 years ago. “I’m just thankful that we could get it done and now we can focus on going out there and earning it, and making sure they understand that I know they didn’t pay me for what I’ve done,” he added, noting the deal was completed on his mother’s birthday. “They did this because they expect me to continue what I’m doing, and expect me to go win this team some championships.” The contract was signed a few days after general manager Brandon Beane said he wanted to get a deal done with the quarterback before the season or put talks off until next year so not to serve as a distraction. “We’re committed to Josh. So that shows there’s no trepidation on our part of, oh, let’s just extend it a year or two or anything like that. We believe in Josh,” Beane said. “He’s been everything that we thought and then some. It’s an exciting moment for him and for our franchise,” he added. “It’s a relief to know this organization has what we believe is the right guy in place for the next eight years.” ETC. LAFC, Galaxy making moves Days after losing center back Eddie Segura to season-ending knee surgery, LAFC took a big step toward plugging that hole by acquiring defender Sebastien Ibeagha from New York City FC for $150,000 in general allocation money. Ibeagha, 29, was the USL defender of the year for San Antonio in 2017, then spent the last 31⁄2 seasons in New York. At 6 feet 2, he gives the LAFC back line both depth and a big body. The Galaxy’s spree of European acquisitions continued as the team picked up defender Niko Hamalainen on a five-month loan from Queens Park Rangers of the second-tier English Championship. — Kevin Baxter Kevin Durant plans to sign a four-year, $198-million extension with the Brooklyn Nets, his manager told ESPN. ...

Marcio Jose Sanchez Associated Press THE DODGERS ’ Mookie Betts (50) scores on an RBI groundout by Albert Pujols in the first inning. Betts also contributed an RBI single in the fourth inning. Angels score twice in 10th and hold on [Freeway, from D1] runs on base after the Dodgers had gotten back within one. The Dodgers are 65-45, but dropped to 1-12 in extra-inning games. They also failed to take advantage of the San Francisco Giants’ loss earlier in the night — also in extra-innings to the Milwaukee Brewers — and instead stayed four games behind the Giants in the National League West standings. The night began with a long-awaited reunion, as Dodgers first baseman Albert Pujols faced the Angels (56-54) for the first time since being released by the club in May. During pregame batting practice, Angels players and staff walked over to Pujols one-by-one, greeting their former teammate with hugs and smiles behind the plate at his new home field. Pujols shared a laugh with catching coach José Molina. Two-way star Shohei Ohtani and interpreter Ippei Mizuhara came over to say hello. Even general manager Perry Minasian shared a hug with the 41-year-old slugger. Exactly three months earlier, Minasian and Pujols had met under more ominous circumstances in Anaheim, when the Angels’ first-year GM informed Pujols he was being released in the final season of a 10-year, $240 million contract. But if any hurt feelings remained, neither showed it on Friday. Instead, Pujols concluded the friendly pregame reunion, then opened the scoring in the first inning with an RBI groundout. Serving as the Dodgers cleanup hitter, he singled in the third inning — his first hit against the Angels since 2007. Dodgers starter David Price was cruising early. He retired nine in a row to begin the game. He faced the minimum again in the fourth after David Fletcher hit a groundrule double but was later caught trying to attempt a delayed steal from second. Then, Price contributed at the plate, drilling a two-out base hit in the bottom of the fourth to set up Mookie Betts for an RBI single in the next at-bat. But the Dodgers’ lead didn’t last. José Iglesias hammered a solo home run to left center, his eighth of the season. And an inning later, Mayfield drove another solo blast to center, his seventh in 20 games since the All-Star break. That marked the end of Price’s night, with reliever Phil Bickford getting the final two outs in the inning. Angels starter Patrick Sandoval, meanwhile, lasted just five innings, giving up two runs with four strikeouts. From there, the bullpens took over, trading zeroes to push the game past the ninth. Betts exits game with hip issue Betts left the game after the sixth with what the team said was right hip discomfort. Betts’ right hip has given him issues throughout the season, including a recent stint to the injured list from which he only returned last weekend. Betts had two hits in his first three at-bats on Friday before being double-switched out of the game to begin the seventh. It had been the continuation of a strong week for the 28-year-old former MVP, who was seven-for-17 with three home runs since returning from the IL. Angels notes 8 Manager Joe Maddon said it’s “not impossible” for first baseman Jared Walsh (right intercostal strain) to return from the injured list this weekend. Walsh has been out since July 27 with a right intercostal strain but has been able to begin taking swings again and do agility drills on the field. 8 The Angels recalled reliever Andrew Wantz on Friday and placed Steve Cishek on the bereavement list. There will be no shortstop controversy in Los Angeles. Trea Turner cleared COVID-19 protocols and was activated an hour before Friday night’s game, and manager Dave Roberts said Turner would be the Dodgers’ primary second baseman while filling in occasionally for shortstop Corey Seager. Turner, acquired with pitcher Max Scherzer from Washington on July 30, has played shortstop for five seasons but played second and center field early in his career. “He embraced it,” Roberts said. “We asked him his preference, knowing we view him as a premier shortstop and a superstar player. But we value Corey at shortstop, and Trea’s versatility and athleticism allows for a couple of things.” The addition of the speedy Turner, who is batting .322 with 18 homers, 49 RBIs and 21 stolen bases, moved Mookie Betts from second base, where he started three games, back to right field. Utility man Chris Taylor will play center field, left field and some third base. The player who stands to lose the most playing time is slumping center fielder Cody Bellinger, who will assume more of a platoon role. “Every night there’s gonna be a great player who is not getting the start — that’s just where we’re at,” Roberts said. “I need to put the best guys out there every night who I feel can win a ballgame.” Kershaw is out until September Clayton Kershaw, out since July 7 because of elbow inflammation, acknowledged he won’t return until September. He threw a three-inning, 45-pitch simulated game on July 27 but he was unable to throw a fourinning, 60-pitch simulated game last Sunday. “Basically, I just tried to come back too fast, which is a bummer,” Kershaw said. “After the sim game, it really didn’t respond well. It’s still nothing serious, but it’s something that’s going to take a little time.” Short hops Reliever Jimmy Nelson will undergo season-ending elbow surgery. … Left-hander Victor Gonzalez was put on the injured list because of knee inflammation. Despite struggles, U.S. wins the gold Wally Skalij Los Angeles Times KEVIN DURANT, making a shot over France’s Nando de Colo, scored a game-high 29 points. [Basketball, from D1] competition. It did not matter. There was only one acceptable outcome. Either you win or you’ve failed. Kevin Durant knew it and said it loudest. And then he made sure it happened. As he led the U.S. through a gantlet of teams gunning for the NBA stars, Durant maintained that the only way this trip would be worth it was if it ended with gold. And against France in the final, he carried his team in an 87-82 win, scoring 29 points. “Phenomenal,” U.S. center Bam Adebayo said when asked about Durant. It was a showcase for Durant’s supreme and unexplainable skill, a near-7-footer with octopus-length arms, Larry Bird’s jumper and Kyrie Irving’s handle dominating in a way only one of the best players in the world could. “That’s a special man,” Draymond Green said. It’s Durant’s third gold medal and the fourth straight for the U.S., its longest streak since losing for the first time in the 1972 finals in Munich. On the way to gold, the weight of expectations was nearly equaled by the burden of doubt. The Americans lost twice in their exhibition schedule ahead of the Games, first to a Nigerian team filled with NBA players near the ends of their benches. Then they lost to medal contender Australia, meaning the team had lost four of its last five games with coach Gregg Popovich on the bench. The team would lose Bradley Beal to COVID protocols and Kevin Love after he struggled in camp, forcing two lastminute roster changes. Popovich’s struggles with Team USA largely were fueled by the top players opting out of competition because of injuries and an ever-growing emphasis on rest. As the team faltered, Popovich continued to insist that the talent around the world had closed the gap on the Americans, that the days of blowouts and highlight-reel wins had gone away. The Americans still had weapons, including the most prolific scorer in U.S. men’s Olympics history. Durant moved past Carmelo Anthony during these Games, his combination of size, skill and agility every bit as unmatched internationally as it is in the NBA. And Jrue Holiday, who arrived in Japan with Khris Middleton and Devin Booker the night before the U.S. tournament opener after completing the NBA Finals, quickly became the team’s secondmost important player. Regarded in the NBA as one of the most versatile defenders, Holiday instantly became the team’s defensive engine in its switch-everything scheme. Boston’s Jayson Tatum, who played only two games in the 2019 world championships because of injury, evolved into a key offensive option off the bench. But the big holes in the American roster were at two GOLF GOLF LEADERS English fires 65 to retain FedEx lead $10.5-MILLION FEDEX ST.

Damian Lillard, expected to be the complementary star, struggled through the tournament, never getting into a rhythm and providing little as a facilitator or defender. The team’s lack of size in the frontcourt also was exploited, especially by the French and center Rudy Gobert. Every time the Americans threatened to turn the goldmedal game into a blowout, Gobert got to the basket or the free-throw line, keeping the game close. Gobert scored 16 as did Evan Fournier. “Details cost us the game for sure,” Nicolas Batum said. Quick microbursts off offense coupled with Holiday’s defensive pressure kept the Americans in control. With the clock ticking down and the result nearly cemented, Durant pumped his fist. He high-fived teammates. “We tried to make things tough on him, tried to make him work as hard as we can,” Gobert said. “But he’s Kevin Durant.” Min Woo Lee................................67-75—142 Xander Schauffele.........................69-73—142 K.H.

John Bazemore Associated Press DWIGHT HOWARD is back on the Lakers after a season in Philadelphia. As for Horton-Tucker, who averaged nine points, 2.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds last season, he had eyes only on staying with the Lakers. “I was pretty focused on trying to get back here after the first day,” he said. “Just wanted to make it an emphasis to get back. So, I was happy we were able to get it done.” Ariza played for the Lakers on their 2009 championship team, becoming a little brother to Bryant. After playing last season in Miami, Ariza, who starred at Westchester High and UCLA, loved the idea of playing for the Lakers again because his daughter, Taylor, and sons, Tristan and Tajh, live in L.A. and “were ready for me to be home.” Ariza also got a call to help him make his decision. “Who recruited me?” he said, laughing. “It’s funny because Russ got traded, and 20 minutes after he got traded, he was on my phone. So, I don’t know if he was telling me he was happy to be home, or he wanted to go to dinner, or whatever, what he wanted to do. I just know he called my phone like, ‘Yo, what are you doing? Where are you at? I need to talk to you. I need to see you.’ And you know, from then on, we kept in constant communication. And it just so happened that I’m here. But I think the biggest recruiter, if you want me to be honest, was my children.” Vogel gets extension The Lakers announced they signed coach Frank Vogel to a three-year contract extension. Vogel led the Lakers to the NBA title in 2020, in his first year, and has a 9449 record in two seasons. He was entering the third and final year of his deal.

Dwight Howard sat in front of a camera wearing a black shirt with “Wealthy” printed on it after signing his contact Friday to join the Lakers for the third time, his radiant smile and exuberant demeanor on display. The 35-year-old center was upbeat during an almost 20-minute videoconference. He was thoughtful, happy and excited as he greeted most of the reporters by name. His first stint with the Lakers lasted the 2012-13 season, his role as the sidekick to Kobe Bryant unfulfilling, sending Howard away to join the Houston Rockets the next season. Howard’s second goaround was 2019-20, a season in which he won an NBA championship playing alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Yet as fulfilling as that was, Howard departed to Philadelphia the next season, and he averaged seven points and 8.4 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game. Now, Howard is back again, signing a one-year deal for the veteran’s minimum to help fill out another team with championship aspirations. The additions of Howard, Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony give the Lakers six stars who have garnered All-NBA honors in their careers. “I just think that we supposed to be together. Just something about the Lakers and myself. It’s like we were just supposed to be together,” Howard said. “I had some of my greatest times, some of my greatest moments here in a Lakers jersey playing in L.A. And I played with arguably the greatest player in the NBA with Kobe. Now playing with LeBron and AD and Russ and Carmelo, it’s like a dream.” The Lakers also announced Friday, the first day free agents could finalize deals, the signings of forward Trevor Ariza as well as Talen Hortonguards Tucker, Malik Monk, Kendrick Nunn and Wayne Ellington. When the 20-year-old Horton-Tucker signed a three-year deal for $32 million, the average age of the veteran-laden Lakers went from 32.4 to 31.4 years. Obviously having his youth and talent was a priority for the Lakers. $235,238 WINNERS OPEN At Cluj-Napoca, Romania Surface: Red-clay SINGLES (quarterfinals)—Mayar Sherif, Egypt, d.

They believed he was in step with their two-fold offseason plan: Retain the veteran core that fueled so much of last season’s run to the franchise’s first conference finals appearance while surrounding them with younger talent to fill the roster’s gaps of speed and athleticism. Earning Leonard’s commitment addressed the first need. The terms of Leonard’s contract were still being discussed Friday, two people familiar with the negotiations said. He is eligible to sign for up to four years and $176 million. A two-year contract with an option for the second season would afford Leonard leverage again next offseason and the possibility of maximizing his money by adding a five-year extension worth around $230 million. His decision came hours after point guard Reggie Jackson, a breakout star of the playoffs after making nearly 41% of his three-pointers, agreed to a two-year, $22-million deal, and that followed center Serge Ibaka’s decision to exercise his option for next season and forward Nicolas Batum’s agreement to return on a two-year deal, with a player option for 2022-23. Signing Justise Winslow, the 25-year-old former lottery pick, is a bet on achieving the second priority. His two-year deal will utilize the team’s taxpayer midlevel exception, a person familiar with the terms said, and doesn’t include an option for the second season. The 10th overall pick in the 2015 draft, the 6-foot-6, 222-pound Winslow was evaluated as a fit in part because his age is along the same timeline as the Clippers’ younger contributors, including Ivica Zubac, Luke Kennard and Terance Gina Ferazzi Los Angeles Times THE CLIPPERS hope Kawhi Leonard can quickly recover from his knee surgery like Kevin Durant. Mann, and his versatility to guard multiple positions was seen as another option to play the kind of aggressive, switcheverything defense that spurred postseason comebacks against Dallas and Utah. Utilizing Winslow on the court will require him to be healthy and a factor offensively, too. Injuries, which included surgery in 2020 to replace a hip, limited him to 37 games combined over the last two seasons, a span in which he made only 41% of his shots inside the arc and 19% of his three-pointers. The Clippers, however, believe his passing and end-to-end speed can create easier opportunities for an oft-plodding team that ranked 26th in fast-break points last season. Leonard’s recovery after undergoing surgery July 13 to repair what the team called a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee will “require a great deal of time,” team President Lawrence Frank said last week, perhaps undercuts their immediate title aspirations. Orthopedic surgeons say most ACL injuries typically carry a recovery time of nine months to one year. The Clippers hope that the example of Brooklyn’s Kevin Durant last season is proof that a 30-year-old superstar coming off a major injury can rebound to his previous form after recovery. Leonard had averaged 30.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists while shooting 57% from the field during the last postseason, including 39% on three-pointers, before injuring his knee in the fourth game of the second-round playoff series against Utah. He missed the Clippers’ final eight playoff games. His recovery time also creates openings for others to earn more playing time, and while Winslow is expected to reap most of those extra repetitions as a big wing like Leonard, the additions of first-round pick and off-guard Keon Johnson, point guard Jason Preston and wing Brandon Boston represent more chances to develop another player like Mann — a young, raw talent who, with polish and time, could become a member of a future playoff rotation. For many reasons, next season’s most important progress could happen behind the scenes — a medical staff tasked with helping Leonard recover and a player development staff charged with sanding the rough edges of their young players’ games. Paul George, Leonard’s fellow All-Star, celebrated with an Instagram post upon the midday news that Leonard and Jackson, one of his closest friends, had agreed to return. The few teams with enough cap space to court Leonard and add the maximum-contract deal he would command — even while recovering from a knee injury that could cost him most of next season — operated as though he wasn’t realistically going anywhere, and spent their money quickly in recent days. Leonard was always the team’s top priority. Their other roster decisions so far this summer have also highlighted the areas that the team felt it must improve in order to maximize that potential once he is again healthy. Wolford out 10 to 14 days after appendix is removed Backup quarterback’s absence spotlights Rams’ battle for third-string spot. By J. Brady McCollough Seemingly out of nowhere Friday morning, Rams backup quarterback John Wolford woke with pain in his abdominal area. He was diagnosed with appendicitis and later had his appendix removed, a procedure that will likely will keep him out of practice for 10 to 14 days, according to a team spokesman. The Rams thought highly enough of Wolford that they started him in the first round of the playoffs last season even though Jared Goff was active coming off thumb surgery. Because of his encouraging performance in 2020, there was little debate entering training camp about the backup spot behind Matthew Stafford — only the third-string quarterback battle between Devlin Hodges and Bryce Perkins. Now Hodges and Perkins will get to alternate with the No. 2 offense and show what they can do — starting with Saturday afternoon’s scrimmage against the Dallas Cowboys in Oxnard. “It will give Bryce and Duck [Hodges] a great opportunity just like they had today on short notice,” Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell said. “If that position is where we want, we feel like offensively the other 10 guys in the huddle can do their jobs and we can roll. But it starts with the quarterback position, making sure procedurally Brian van der Brug Los Angeles Times JOHN WOLFORD, pictured, started the Rams’ wild-card game last season in place of Jared Goff. we’re good, calling the play right in the huddle, being right with their cadence, sending motions at the right time … there’s little things before the ball ever hits their hands that we need to make sure they do well.” O’Connell expressed confidence in the physical tools that Hodges and Perkins bring once the play is in motion. In his first year with the Rams, Hodges especially is working overtime mentally as he learns the offense. In 2019, Hodges started six games with the Pittsburgh Steelers, leading them to a 3-3 record and completing 62.5% of his passes. “Things are still new to him, but I keep telling Duck, I can tell the game makes sense to him when the ball is in his hands,” O’Connell said of Hodges. “He’s got some experience, was put in some tough spots where he led his team to some really good football in Pittsburgh.” The Rams signed Perkins as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia in 2020. Although he hasn’t played an NFL snap, he has the advantage over Hodges of having spent a year learning the Rams’ system. Perkins brings another dimension as a runner, having rushed for 1,692 yards and 20 touchdowns in two years as the starter for the Cavaliers. “From a mental standpoint, even today I felt a lot of confidence in the way he stepped into the huddle calling plays,” O’Connell said. “Now for Bryce it’s about finding the balance between executing the offense and trying to read through progressions but never limiting his ability to impact the game from an athletic standpoint. “He’s really grown as a passer since he first got here fundamentally. Now it’s a matter of can he apply that in rhythm with a live pass rush.” It’s possible given Wolford’s timeline for recovery that Hodges and Perkins will get to play a ton of football in the Rams’ three exhibition games, the first coming Aug. 14 against the Chargers at SoFi Stadium.
L AT I ME S . CO M/ S P O RT S SAT URDAY , AUGUST 7, 2021 DD1 TOKYO OLYMPICS U.S. seeks a toehold in handball Sport’s advocates look to build team and interest from ground up before L.A. By Jorge Castillo TOKYO — It’s become a Summer Olympics tradition: Americans turn on their televisions to watch the Games and find a sport they don’t quite understand but know, just know, that the United States should easily dominate. They’re baffled once they realize that the U.S. — men and women — again didn’t even qualify for a game they swear they played in gym class. They can’t fathom why the United States of America — boasting more elite athletes in team ball sports than any other nation on Earth — is so behind in team handball. “I’ve heard it for about 50 years,” Dennis Berkholtz said with a laugh. Berkholtz, 76, is an American handball pioneer. He was the U.S. men’s team captain for handball’s Olympic debut at the 1972 Munich Games, coached the men’s team four years later in Montreal, and served as USA Team Handball president from 1996 to 2000. Every step of the way, Berkholtz tried to awaken the supposed sleeping handball giant. Every time, the slumber continued. Apparently, transforming the U.S. into a world handball juggernaut isn’t as easy as everyone watching every four — in this case five — years thinks. The abbreviated reason for the failure is an endless cycle that leads back, as always, to money. More participation produces more success, which generates more revenue, which supplies the necessary funding, but there has never been enough participation to initiate the sequence. Hope isn’t lost. Those leading the charge believe, with an overhauled approach, that the U.S. men’s and women’s teams can be competitive at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, where they’ll automatically qualify as the host country. “There’s almost unlimited potential,” said Ryan Johnson, USA Team Handball chief executive. “And once we get a little bit of momentum, I think it’s really going to catch fire.” Team handball resembles a combination of basketball, baseball, football, lacrosse, and water polo played on hardwood. Each team deploys seven players — six field players and a goalkeeper — on a court just bigger than a basketball floor. There are two 30-minute halves. Teams are given one 60-second timeout a half. Otherwise, the clock doesn’t stop. Substitutions are made on the fly. Players can take up to three steps before they must dribble, pass or shoot. To score, a player throws the ball from outside the six-meter arc outlining the goal area. Players can jump into the goal area, but they must shoot the ball before landing. Each goal counts as one point. Contact is permitted but players aren’t allowed to stretch their arms or legs to obstruct, push, hold, trip or hit opponents. They can’t hit, pull or punch the ball out of an opponent’s hand. Offensive players can’t charge into or purposely throw the ball at defenders. Kicks are illegal. Penalty throws from the seven-meter penalty mark are awarded when a referee rules that a defender illegally impeded a scoring opportunity. The first official team handball match was played in Germany in 1917. Over the years, the sport became popular across Europe, and in parts of South America and the Middle East. The game didn’t formally reach the U.S. for decades. Berkholtz played basketball at Kansas State before he joined the Army. In 1969, while serving, he was chosen as part of the first group of Americans to train for competitive handball with eyes on the 1972 Games He is, as he put it, the first good athlete in the U.S. to learn to play the sport. He fell in love. “I’ve played all the sports, as do most of the American guys that play handball,” Berkholtz said, “and every single one of them would tell Photographs by Wally Skalij Los Angeles Times BRAZIL’S Ana Rodrigues scores on Spain goalie Silvia Navarro in a preliminary-round team handball game at the Tokyo Olympics. Though the sport is quite popular across Europe and in a few other countries, the U.S. has yet to establish strong backing and structure. SPAIN’S Alicia Fernandez, right, tries to stop Brazil’s Eduarda Amorim from shooting in team handball game at Tokyo. U.S. men’s and women’s teams will automatically qualify to play in 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. you it’s the best sport we’ve ever played.” Yoyogi National Gymnasium has been the center of the handball world for the last two weeks. Teams from 18 countries were represented at the men’s and women’s Olympic tournaments. There isn’t one — in either field — from North America. The games are fast paced, the scoring nonstop. Thuds off the hardwood floor accent the sprints, jumps and throws. Tempers briefly flared in Tuesday’s men’s quarterfinal game between Spain and Sweden — third- and second-place finishers at January’s world championships — before the Spaniards erased a four-goal deficit with 15 minutes left to seal a spot in the semifinals against Denmark, the reigning Olympic gold medalists. They spontaneously celebrated when the buzzer sounded for their 34-33 win. The Swedes, devastated, formed a circle for one final huddle and sulked off the court. The loss was big news back in Sweden, a country steeped in handball tradition. The Swedes have won four world championships, tied with France for the most since the competition was introduced in 1938. They finished second — one spot ahead of Spain — at this year’s championships in January. Players from those two countries and others populate high-profile domestic leagues — Germany’s Bundesliga is regarded as the best — and the European Handball Federation’s Champions League. Top players’ salaries reach seven digits. Denmark’s Mikkel Hansen, a three-time world player of the year, has a reported net worth of $44 million. Internationally, team handball was the secondmost ticketed sport at the 2016 Rio Games. The U.S. is light years behind, without even a structured youth program. While European players learn the game young and are developed in elaborate academies, the U.S. teams’ current best hope is to convince athletes from other sports to pick up handball. Ty Reed made the switch. He walked on to Alabama’s football team — first as a quarterback then as a wide receiver — and in 2015 joined U.S. handball’s one-year residency program, the primary feeder unit for the national team. He worked out five days a week and made his international debut in Uruguay after four months, eventually becoming a professional player in Europe. “American handball, it’s not even close to what European handball is,” Reed, 29, said. “So even though we learn in the States, there’s nothing that’s comparable to that. I guess you can learn the rules of the game but it’s like playing pickup basketball compared to NBA basketball.” And the U.S. going up against world handball powers often looks like the overmatched countries smashed by the 1992 Dream Team. Randy Dean might be the most accomplished American male athlete to ever play handball at a high level. He played basketball and football at Northwestern and spent four NFL seasons as a backup quarterback. He made the 1976 U.S. Olympic handball team. The Americans went 0-4 and placed 10th out of 11 teams. Phoenix Suns center Frank Kaminsky has said he wants to play the sport, but he hasn’t taken the plunge. In 2020, retired NFL quarterback Jay Cutler said he could put together a team that would win an Olympic gold medal. NBA All-Star Luka Doncic, who grew up playing handball in Slovenia, tweeted a rebuttal: “No chance!” “The handball community is small, but they’re driven,” Reed said. “They’ve been tweeting Jay Cutler every day since he’s been saying that. In all fairness, he’d get destroyed.” Said Berkholtz: “Take it from somebody who’s played a lot, seen a lot, I got a lot of friends in Europe. They laugh when they hear that. ‘Oh, bring [Michael] Jordan over here and we’ll knock the [expletive] out of him.’” The problem, Berkholtz insisted, is that it would take athletes from other sports years of training to compete at a high level, and there isn’t enough money available to keep them around. Having high-level athletes make the leap could drive interest, which could generate money and turn the tide, but that hasn’t materialized. Instead, even lower-tier athletes don’t have the incentive to stick with the pro- gram. “What happens is when the good athletes play — men and women — they train for two years or a year and a half, they go to the Games, they come home, they go get married, get a job, and they don’t play anymore,” Berkholtz said. “So each cycle, we have to start over again.” It’s Johnson’s job, as USA Team Handball chief executive, to harness the interest generated at every Olympics when Americans pay attention to the sport and channel it toward more members, events and programming. To do that, Johnson said his organization is working to create a better system to transition second-tier athletes to the sport with collegiate clubs. The long-term goal is to attract even younger players and create youth programs to sustain participation. Johnson said the organization could have an easier time attracting women since there are fewer high-paying options in women’s sports. “We’re way behind a really fast-running train,” Johnson said. “So we’ve got to pick up speed, but we’ve also got a lot of catch up to do.” Berkholtz said he believes the first focus should be developing the sport in one place. He suggested California, with Los Angeles as the focal point and finding “sugar daddies” for funding. “You go to the tech guys, and you say, ‘Hey, we need some help. You can be the father of this sport for the next eight years,’” Berkholtz said. “And they become like team owners of the Olympic team.” For now, the men’s team comprises mostly Europeans with dual citizenships and a few American-born players. Soon it will include 16-year-old Tristan Morowski, a 6-foot-5 lefthander born in New York to Polish parents who plays for an academy in Germany. The teenager is considered the future of the sport in the United States. He’s the prototype for the 2028 Games and beyond. “It’s not going to be so much about the wins and losses in L.A.,” Johnson said, “but how relevant is our team in 2029 and 2031 and in 2032.” Maybe, finally, Americans will turn on their televisions to find the U.S. competing with the world’s best by then, ending the decadeslong quadrennial confusion. It won’t be as easy as it looks.
DD2 S ATU R DAY , AU G U S T 7, 2021 LAT IMES. C OM/ SP ORT S TOKYO OLYMPICS GOAT climbs to summit of her sport A heavy favorite, Garnbret wins women’s inaugural climbing event. By Jorge Castillo TOKYO — Six years ago, when sport climbing at the Olympics was still a fantasy, Janja Garnbret predicted her future with an Instagram post. “See you in Tokyo,” she wrote. Representing Slovenia in the Summer Olympics was her simple goal. Then, over the years, with the sport added to the 2020 program, she solidified herself as the top female climber in the world, if not the greatest of all time with six first-place world championships finishes. On Friday, she added to her legend, winning the gold medal in the inaugural women’s sport climbing final at Aomi Urban Sports Park. “I’m so happy that I can’t even describe it,” said Garnbret, who became the third woman ever to win a Summer Olympics gold medal for Slovenia. “It’s a dream come true.” Miho Nonaka and Akiyo Noguchi, both of Japan, finished behind Garnbret. Nonaka, the silver medalist, is from Tokyo. Noguchi, the oldest finalist at 32, retired after her bronze finish. Brooke Raboutou, the only American among the eight finalists, finished a disappointing fifth. The 22-year-old Garnbret was a cut above her peers. She finished first in two of the three events — bouldering and lead — in front of an enthusiastic gathering of officials, event workers, team members and media. Music blasted before, after and during climbs. Two PA announcers narrated the action — one in English, the other in Japanese. It was the X Games meets an outdoor concert. Garnbret’s teammate, Mia Krampl, held up a cardboard sign in the crowd with Garnbret’s name and a picture of a goat, not-so-subtly referring to Garnbret’s place in the sport’s history. In the climbing world she goes by both GOAT and Queen. “This was the hardest competition in my entire career,” Garnbret said. “I felt like all pressure was on me, that the whole world had decided that I’ll win the gold medal.” Sport climbing made its debut at these Olympics across four nights — the qualification and the final for men and women — as three disciplines combined as one competition. The first is the speed event, a head-to-head race to the top of a 15-meter wall between two competitors. The second is bouldering, where the climbers, on their own, are challenged to scale a 15-foot wall with three distinct arrangements of hand and foot holds. Each is called a problem. Solving them requires as much mental fortitude as physical mettle The third discipline, lead, is the closest to outdoor rock climbing. The climber ascends a 15-meter wall until they reach the top or fall in a test of stamina. The format was unpopular within the climbing community. Competitions usually separate speed climbing from the other disciplines because it’s so different, creating a subset of speed specialists. As a result, Paris 2024 will hold speed as its own event. The sport climbing competition at these Olympics featured a jumble of strengths and weaknesses. Raboutou, a 20-year-old Colorado native, is not a speed specialist. She fell in her first speed heat. She then set a personal record of 8.77 seconds in her next try, but Garnbret bested her by one one-hundredth of a second in a thriller. She completed the speed portion with a win over South Korea’s Seo Chae-hyun to avoid finishing in last place. Poland’s Aleksandra Miroslaw set the world record in the event’s final climb, finishing in 6.84 seconds to take first place in the first discipline. Raboutou remained in medal contention heading into bouldering, her strongest event. She finished second behind Garnbret despite slipping off the end rock on two of the three problems. Garnbret was the only competitor to solve a problem. She casually scaled the first two to clinch first place in the discipline before her third climb. She didn’t reach the top, but it didn’t matter. The Slovenian finished first in lead, too, while Raboutou’s night ended in frustration when she slipped off the wall earlier than she expected, all but eliminating her from medal contention with several climbers remaining. One of them was Garnbret. She leaped onto the wall with the pressure of a heavy favorite and she didn’t flinch. She’ll leave Tokyo a gold medalist. Robert Gauthier Los Angeles Times JANJA GARNBRET of Slovenia felt the pressure of being the prohibitive favorite, but she more than met the moment at Tokyo’s Aomi Urban Sports Park. “This was the hardest competition in my entire career,” she said. U.S. men earn final shot at gold in 1,600 relay American sprinters as well as middle- and long-distance runners are 0 for Olympics. By Gary Klein TOKYO — Randolph Ross was all smiles. So were Trevor Stewart, Bryce Deadmon and Vernon Norwood. All looked happy. Confident. And maybe just a little bit relieved. The four men had just ensured that the U.S. men’s track team would get one last opportunity to win a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. That will happen Saturday in the 1,600-meter relay, the final competition event at Olympic Stadium. The men’s team has earned silver medals. Paul Chelimo added another bronze Friday in the 5,000meters. But American sprinters and middle- and long-distance runners are O for the Olympics when it comes to gold. The U.S. men had lost one potential golden opportunity on Thursday. The 400meter relay team failed to qualify for the final. The Wally Skalij Los Angeles Times MEMBERS OF Jamaica’s 400-meter relay team celebrate after winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, with a time of 41.02 seconds. The U.S. team earned the silver medal, with a time of 41.45. track world quaked. Now they have a chance for at least one gold medal. Ross said it was “an amazing feeling” to qualify for the final. “For a lot of us, this is our first team, all of this is a new experience, a big stage,” he said. “To come here and ex- perience all of this for the first time and make the final is a great feeling.” Ross said the team did not feel pressure. “We don’t really focus on what’s in the future or the past,” he said. “Every day’s new, and we’re thankful for what we can do.” This group’s job, however, is probably done. If tradition holds, bigger names could run in the final. Michael Norman, Rai Benjamin and Michael Cherry might be in play for an event that U.S. men have dominated. The women’s 1,600 relay could feature an even bigger name — Allyson Felix. By earning a bronze medal in the 400 meters, Felix is tied with Carl Lewis for most medals by an American track and field athlete. A relay victory on Saturday would put her over the top. The U.S. women showed again on Friday that they know how to execute in relays. The Jamaican 400-meter relay team featured twotime 100- and 200-meters gold medalist Elaine Thompson-Herah. It also included Shelly-Ann FraserPryce. Barring a major Jamaican error, they were not going to be beat. But the U.S. women made sure they were positioned in case. The Jamaican team won in 41.02 seconds. Javianne Oliver, Teahna Daniels, Jenna Prandini and Gabrielle Thomas finished in 41.45 and earned silver. “We’re really excited to come out here and work hard together and come out with a medal,” Thomas said. “We knew it was going to come, we manifested it, we planned for it and were just really excited to get it for Team USA.” Said Prandini: “We have some great chemistry and we’re really confident and comfortable with each other.” The four women ran, seemingly, without pressure. That won’t be the case for the U.S. men, whatever the lineup, on Saturday.

F2 S ATU R DAY , AU G U S T 7, 2021 LAT IMES. C OM PLANT PPL A LOVE FOR ALL THINGS GROWING? HEY, THAT’S REALLY FLY BY C L A I R E R E I D W ITH ITS curated plantand-pot pairings, plantthemed streetwear and fashionable bucket hats embroidered with the word “planthead” — a reference to shoe-collecting sneakerhead culture — L.A.’s Filipinaowned FlyPlant Shop is effortlessly cool. FlyPlant was founded in June 2020 by Sheryl Calipusan Ung, Janessa Molina Maquindang and Melissa Limbago, R&Bloving Filipina American friends with a passion for helping plant parents — or, as the FlyPlant ladies call them, “fly plant mamas and papas” — care for their urban jungle. The trio meticulously handpicks high-quality, healthy plants from larger nurseries in L.A. and Orange counties and pairs them with curated pots. Recently, FlyPlant added urban chic apparel and beautifully designed gardening tools to its online shop. The women of FlyPlant go way back. Calipusan Ung affectionately described her relationship with Limbago as “frousins,” or friend-cousins. They grew up together, “practically sisters,” in Long Beach. Last year, 35-year-old Molina Maquindang joined the family after marrying a cousin of Calipusan Ung and Limbago. “Jay fits right in,” said Calipusan Ung, 37. “We’re lucky to have her.” Before the pandemic, the three women were working in very different career fields. Limbago, 32, ran a hyperbaric chamber and worked in finance on the side. Calipusan Ung, a mom, continues to work at a real estate agency in Long Beach, where she and her husband head up interior design. It was Calipusan Ung’s passion for interior design that spurred her interest in plants. “I tell my clients that plants are a great way to go if you’re on a budget but you want to decorate and really transform a space,” she said. Molina Maquindang had been working as an event planner in L.A. assisting with music festivals, parties and entertainment events. “Once the pandemic hit, all the events were canceled, and pretty much I was out of a job,” the Oakland native recalled. “The only thing that really brought me peace was to be in my plants.” Like many at the height of the pandemic, Molina Maquindang started a plant Instagram account. She requested to follow her future cousins-in-law, who approached her with their already-brewing idea of starting a plant shop. Soon after, FlyPlant was born. All three women were familiar with plant care, having worked in their families’ gardens growing up, whether it was the reluctant chore of watering and putting eggshells in a grandparent’s garden or caring for a parent’s fruit and vegetable plants. “My grandmother and my mother have always surrounded us with plants,” Molina Maquindang said. “I think it’s because it reminds them of home back in the Philippines. All of our rare plants, all the plants people are paying hundreds of dollars for, are literally growing in their backyard back in the Philippines. Unfortunately, we can’t just put them in our luggage and bring them back here, but we try to bring that life and that greenery back here in Cali.” FlyPlant has called Calipusan Ung’s backyard home for over a year. Customers have been able to purchase plants via no-contact delivery or in person on Saturdays at FlyPlant’s pop-up shop events at the Filled Market in the Arts District’s Manila District. But this month, FlyPlant settles into a more permanent home: a warehouse in the Manila District that the founders hope to transform into an educational and social hub for the plant community. Recently over Zoom, I spoke with Calipusan Ung, Molina Maquindang and Limbago to learn more about the process of creating FlyPlant, the inspiration and culture behind it and their goals for the business. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. What was the inspiration behind FlyPlant ? Sheryl Calipusan Ung: A big part of it was that FlyPlant gave us the opportunity to really try out a passion-driven project, make it into a career and share it with people. It’s huge for us to be able to share something that we’re passionate about and then find people with like minds. They teach us; we’re able to teach them. It’s this constant community relationship that’s constantly growing. Janessa Molina Maquindang: I think the thing that we wanted to embrace is that we’re very urban, in a sense. We like hiphop, we like R&B, we like streetwear. So we kind of wanted to mix that culture with our love of plants. How do you reflect that culture in FlyPlant? Melissa Limbago: Well, it starts off with who inspires us, like through music. One of them was Beyoncé. So we had a plant, and we were like, “Oh, my God, she looks like Beyoncé’s hair!” So we called her Fern Bey, and she’s one of our little inspos. We name all our plants! Joshua Maquindang What goes into naming your plants? JMM: We name most of them after artists, but then there’s this one that’s one of our staple plants. It’s a Sansevieria cylindrica ‘Starfish,’ and we call it the Westside. SCU: It’s fun, you know. That connection happens; you’re a little bit more invested when you name your plants. JMM: Yeah, it adds life to the plant because it’s got character; it’s living. We feel like if we dance with them, if we name them and we talk to them, they seem to thrive a little bit more. FLYPLANT’s favorite plants: Anthurium, Monstera, Bird of Paradise and begonia! Speaking of names, what’s the story behind the name FlyPlant? ML: I think we all have different interpretations of what “fly” means. I feel like with COVID and everything last year, everyone had an internal reflection. We had to look at ourselves and more deeply humble ourselves. “Fly” has different meanings — being humble, not only just looking cool. It’s fun without being the perfect plant mom or dad. It’s about the journey. JMM: And we want to encourage people to find the flyness within themselves. Like Melissa said, we think “fly” has different meanings, not just like cool, but confident, unique and passionate. We want to incorporate that into our plants, into our culture and into the way we represent our business. What else makes FlyPlant unique? JMM: We love finding really unique, dope pots and pairing them with the plants. I think it makes it a little bit more special when we put together the perfect pair. That’s what we call “boo’d up.” It’s pretty much a live art piece. SCU: And what we’ve learned through all of this is that one of the hardest things for people to do is picking out pots to really accentuate their plant. Thankfully, all three of us have an eye for that. So curating is a big part of our plants. I think that’s what sets us apart from other plant shops out there. Tell me more about the origins of FlyPlant. JMM: We didn’t really know how to start through all the craziness that was happening. One of the things that we love, though, is giving back and having a purpose for what we’re doing. During that time when we were trying to release the business, BLM was heavy. I mean, it pretty much took over the whole of social media, so to put something new out didn’t feel right. So what we decided to do with our first drop of plants and Claire Reid Los Angeles Times MELISSA Limbago, top left, Janessa Molina Maquindang and Sheryl Calipusan Ung run FlyPlant. They’re opening a storefront in downtown L.A. this month. Above, their favorite plants. pot pairings was to give 100% of the proceeds to an organization called the Equal Justice Initiative. They help people who are incarcerated and are not getting the representation they need. I think [we donated] between $1,700 and $1,800. SCU: That really solidified a lot of what we are about. It was just beautiful to see everyone coming together, not only just supporting us but also supporting an organization that is tirelessly working for the marginalized community. What was the hardest part of starting a business at the height of the pandemic? SCU: Just having people have access to us was a big challenge. We were kind of put in a position where we had to really try to create this vibe and just this specialness of the passion that we have for plants on a digital platform. And we did, and people love it. When we go to our pop-up shops, people come and say “Oh, my gosh! Finally, I get to see you guys in the flesh,” and they feel it. Tell me more about the pop-up shops. SCU: We’ve had certain events and pop-ups that have made it possible for our clients to see us and experience the FlyPlant Shop. Pop-ups at local bakeries in the Manila District’s Filled Market — that’s been kind of the second headquarters of FlyPlant. JMM: Yeah, we started popping up during Filipino heritage month in October. We felt the need to support our fellow Filipino community and partner with local Filipino businesses. We promoted them and they promoted us. The Manila District [is] not necessarily on the map, but it’s starting to become on the map. It’s in the Arts District of L.A., and it started as a macro market bringing Filipino-owned businesses together. Some of them lost their jobs because of the pandemic, and we all joined together as an outdoor market to support each other and promote each other, and now it’s like a thing every Saturday with really, really good food, artists, crafts, handmade candles and FlyPlant. What are your plans for FlyPlant? ML: Here’s a fun one: a FlyPlant music festival! Backstory behind that: When we were getting ready for our first pop-up, it was kind of reminding us of our Coachella days. It’d be dope. You’d have it in the Philippines. Like, “Meet us at the Monstera Tent, meet us at the Philodendron Tent!” JMM: Like we’re saying, all of our cultures combined — like music, food, lifestyle, plants — that’s what a FlyPlant music festival would look like! SCU: It’s an oasis, you know, the plan to create an oasis. But that’s a big future goal for us. A smaller goal is to really just bring the community in a little bit more. Going into this new space, we’ll be able to create and be part of plant events and join other plant communities. ML: I think also bringing the community together by having more educational workshops. We get a lot of compliments on all our tips. And I really enjoy teaching others how to care for their plants. I think that’ll bring the community closer together as well. SCU: And it’s going to help grow the community knowledge of plants. We don’t want people to just bring a plant into their home because it creates a cute space but it dies after a week. No, like this is in your care now; let us help you! We work hand in hand with our customers to curate a good base of knowledge, and then we’ll help build that knowledge, hopefully through workshops. A lot of our customers take pictures and DM us to say, “What’s going on with my plant?” Right now, we assess it that way, identify the things that are going wrong with their plant and find interventions through our digital platform. Having a space and having more workshop events will create that solid foundation for our clients to really be confident as plant mamas and papas! Finally, what is your favorite plant? SCU: Mine is a monstera. That was my absolute first plant ever. And man, did I put this one through the wringer. He keeps thriving for me regardless! And the Philippines has a ton of them, so I cannot wait to go home and just pick, prune and pot them in my parents’ little inn and just create this monstera forest. JMM: I think I have a twofer. I think the life-transforming plant for me was the anthurium. Anthuriums for me, especially the ‘Black Queen,’ remind me of the islands, specifically Hawaii because I lived there for a while. One of my anthuriums was given to me by my aunt, and I think while I took care of it I was in a really bad place. Taking care of it actually helped me heal through this dark time in my life. And for my second one, I’ve always gravitated towards birds of paradise. It represents that tropical vibe we all embrace. SCU: It’s also the logo of FlyPlant. If you see the letter F in FlyPlant, it’s a bird of paradise! And Melissa, what’s your favorite plant? ML: I like the begonia. They’re a little funky-looking. I tend to gravitate towards the funky, more unique plants that are not as easy to take care of. It’s been a journey with them. SCU: It’s so funny because Melissa is the type to want to challenge herself. It’s amazing how plants describe the person really well. A grand opening for the new storefront in L.A.’s Manila District will take place 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Aug. 14 at 1801 E. 7th St. RSVP to TheFlyPlantStudio .eventbrite.com.

What happens this month sets the tone for our gardens for the rest of the year. Here are ways to get the most out of your garden right now: VEGETABLES > Powdery mildew is rampant this year. Don’t worry about a little, but if there’s a lot, try rinsing it away with water early in the day so leaves are dry by nightfall. Switch to in-line drip irrigation to keep water off leaves. > Remove yellow and browning leaves from tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, etc. Dispose in the green waste. > To prune or not to prune? The idea that removing leaves or cutting back branches encourages plants to “put energy into making fruits” is a myth. It takes huge amounts of energy for plants to make flowers and fruits. That energy comes from photosynthesis, which is done by leaves. When you remove leaves, you remove the engine that powers plants to flower and fruit. > Soft brown spots on the bottom of tomatoes, peppers or squash are blossom end rot, which happens when soil alternates between very wet and very dry. Adding calcium to the soil won’t solve the problem. Instead, even out the irrigation so the soil is always damp. Compost damaged fruits and wait for the next crop. > Mulch vegetable beds with a 3-inch layer of straw (not hay) over the entire surface. > Keep harvesting melons, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, etc. as they ripen. The more you pick, the longer the plants produce. > Check cucumber and squash every day to avoid baseball bat-size fruits. > Plant a last round of summer vegetable seedlings now using “early season” and “short season” varieties. These produce fastest. > Are you surprised by the short lifespan of heirloom vegetable plants? They are highly susceptible to bacteria, viruses, fungi and other plant pathogens. To avoid these issues, look for varieties bred to resist these common maladies: those labeled with “V” (verticillium wilt resistant), “F” (Fusarium wilt resistant), and “N” (nematode resistant). > Store tomatoes on a countertop instead of in the refrigerator. Don’t pile them; keep them in a single layer, stem-end down. Extra tomatoes? Wash, dry, then freeze them whole in zip-top bags. > Buy fall cover-crop seeds that add nitrogen and organic matter to garden beds. Sow seeds in September but purchase them now before they sell out. FRUIT TREES > Water citrus, avocado, mango, banana and other tropical fruiting plants regularly. These plants are not drought-tolerant and require regular and deep irrigation (but don’t overwater). Feed with organic fertilizer specifically for tropical fruiting plants. > Let avocado leaves accumulate rather than rake them away. They keep the soil moist and cool, and the nutrients recycle into the tree as the leaves break down. Cover the soil beneath young trees with woody mulch until they produce enough leaves to make their own mulch. Avocado trees have shallow surface roots that don’t like to be disturbed, so don’t dig, plant or cultivate beneath them. > Prune deciduous fruit trees (peaches, plums, apples, etc.) now to keep branches short and fruit within easy reach. In winter, prune to shape. > Compost fruits that are damaged, overripe or rotting. > Stone fruits make the best summer jam. Never done it? The Times makes it easy. Look for “L.A. in a jar” at latimes .com/food. > Bake those stone fruits and berries! Crumbles, crisps, compotes, pies and my favorite — galette, the “lazy person’s pie.” > Still have more stone fruits? Pick, pit and freeze in a zip-top bag. ORNAMENTALS > How’s your garden’s mulch? Check to be sure there is still a 3- or 4-inch layer of mulch over all the ornamental beds — stone mulch for succulent beds, chunky wood mulch (not bark) for nonsucculent ornamental plants. > When you mulch, leave an area of the garden — at least 5 by 5 feet — bare for ground-nesting native bees. These valuable pollinators rarely (if ever) sting. > Sudden brown leaves on drought-tolerant trees and shrubs (California natives, South African or Australian natives especially) is the first kiss of death. It is also a sure sign of attack by pathogenic soil fungi, likely from overwatering. Instead, water deeply but only occasionally and overnight, using in-line drip irrigation. > Deep-soak newly planted natives no more than once every four weeks and spritz lightly in between deep waterings. Let the soil drain in between. Waterlogged soil can kill these plants. > Leaves covered in dense webs probably have spider mites. The tiny orange critters infest plants that are too dry or whose leaves are covered in dust. Their natural enemies live in the garden too, so don’t spray with poison or oil or insecticidal soap. Instead, clean leaves with a sharp spray of plain water, both top and undersides. Keep plants adequately irrigated and be patient as the predators do their work. FROM hummingbirds to houseplants, there’s lots to learn at local gardens this month. Aug. 14 How to Take Photos of Hummingbirds is a 10 a.m. workshop at Roger’s Gardens nursery, 2301 San Joaquin Hills Road, Corona del Mar, taught by photographer Steve Kaye. The class will provide tips and tricks anyone can use to photograph perched and flying hummingbirds and will feature more than 120 of Kaye’s photos. Advance registration is required. Tickets are $10, with $5 donated to the Sea & Sage Audubon Society. rogersgardens.com Soil Regeneration at Arlington Garden, taught by Lynn Fang, a specialist in soil and compost ecology. The hourlong class starts at 10 a.m. and discusses techniques for composting, building soil and the ecology of gardening, with an op- of the Santa Monica Mountains Interagency Visitor Center at King Gillette Ranch, 26876 Mulholland Highway in Calabasas. The class runs from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and includes instruction in summer installation of native plants; how and what to prune, deadhead and shape during the dry season; correct hand-watering methods for established plants; and how to identify and collect mature seed. The workshop is free but requires advance registration. Attendees should be prepared to stand in the sun for more than two hours. samofund.org Aug. 19 Growing Indoor Plants the Easy Way is a class taught by Sherman Library & Gardens horticulturist John Bishop about the best way to keep your houseplants healthy with the right watering, light and pest control. The class runs from 10 to 11 a.m., 2647 East Coast Highway in Corona del Mar. Tickets are $15 ($10 for members) and registration is required. thesherman.org Aug. 26 Native Plant Maintenance Basics is a walkand-talk class taught by Erik Blank of the Theodore Payne Foundation, 10459 Tuxford St. in Sun Valley, from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Blank will walk participants through the foundation’s demonstration gardens, discussing ways to care for native plants during the summer, when many become dormant and brown. Participants should wear long pants and closed-toe shoes for walking on sometimes steep and uneven terrain; full water bottles and sun protection recommended. Masks are mandatory. Tickets are $15 ($12 for members), and advance registration is required. theodorepayne.org Aug. 21 California Native Plant Garden Maintenance: Summer Tasks is a workshop sponsored by the Santa Monica Mountain Fund that begins with a short tour Email your garden and plant-related events to jeanette.marantos @latimes.com at least three weeks in advance of the event and we might include them in the calendar. tional hands-on workshop after the class for people who want a deeper understanding of soil health and regeneration, at Arlington Garden, 275 Arlington Drive in Pasadena. Tickets are $20. eventbrite.com > Shop for spring blooming bulbs now, including native mariposa lilies (Calochortus), spring starflower (Ipheion), harlequin flower (Sparaxis), bugle flower (Watsonia), baboon flower (Babiana) and starfish iris (Ferraria). > Remove spent blooms on roses to encourage fall flowers. Fertilize with organic rose food. Deepirrigate periodically. > Plumeria are at peak bloom, so shop for your favorites now. > Water hanging baskets every few days because they dry out quickly. > Shop for fall-planted wildflower seeds: native annuals, flowering sweet peas and others. Plant them in fall but purchase them now. IRRIGATION > While there are no mandated water restrictions now, water is still precious. Rather than irrigate on a set schedule, water when plants need it. Feel the soil, watch leaves for drought stress and pay attention to what the garden tells you about its water needs. > Droopy leaves in the morning are a signal to water; droopy leaves in the afternoon are not. > The hot months are the most important months to check that your irrigation system is running as you expect. Turn each zone on and walk the lines: Check drip irrigation for breaks (geysers), leaks and clogged emitters. Flag problems so you can find them once the water is off.

F4 S ATU R DAY , AU G U S T 7, 2021 LAT IMES. C OM Carbon Canyon Regional Park CA N T H I S R E A L LY BE ORANGE COUNTY? HIKE AND BE SURPRISED BY M AT T PAW L I K I T ’ S N O WO N D E R that trails in Orange County sometimes are overlooked. With mountains to the north and east, the county that’s host to 34 cities has a lot of hidden gems. The variety of habitats on these nine hikes may surprise you: from woodlands to Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park If you want a true greatest-hits hike in Orange County, head for Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park in Laguna Niguel for an 11-mile, 1,000-footgain highlight-reel romp. Start at the visitor center and check out the short native-flora loop for an educational warm-up. The paved Aliso Creek Trail then descends into the canyon, with rolling hills of sage, mustard and even artichoke plants. Look for a sign for Dripping Cave, one of many accessible sandstone cavities in the hulking 4,500acre park. Also check out Cave Rock, which was allegedly used as a hideout for 19th century livestock thieves. Continue on the Mathis Canyon Trail through enchanting oaks before challenging yourself on the Car Wreck Trail, a technical, partrock scramble ascent. Halfway up, spy an old rusted Dodge sticking out of the dense chaparral. You’ll soon reach the 1,000-foot summit aptly named Top of the World, rewarding you with 360degree vistas that do not disappoint. Mt. Baldy (north) and Santiago (east) peaks dominate the inland backdrop, but the coastal views are breathtaking — and it’s a good spot for a midtrek picnic. On the return half of the loop, don’t miss the Wood Canyon Trail segment that crosses a babbling stream by way of a short boardwalk. Info: Strenuous. 11-mile loop with 1,000 feet of gain. Start at the Aliso Creek Trail at the Visitor Center, 28373 Alicia Parkway, Laguna Niguel. Park in the free paved lot; dog friendly. Carbon Canyon Regional Park If we told you that you could find the tallest trees on Earth hidden in Orange County, would you believe it? Head to Carbon Canyon Regional Park in Brea to see for yourself by taking a two-mile loop through the 124-acre El Modena Open Space + Old Towne Orange coastal chaparral to a bird-filled estuary. And did I mention the grove of coastal redwoods? It’s all waiting, with routes good for beginners all the way up to veteran hikers. Grab a hiking guide or your favorite trail app, such as Gaia or AllTrails, and go! green space that includes recreational amenities and a serene lake. The wide dirt nature trail is well signed and meanders through dense shrubs and walnut trees (listen for resident towhees) before depositing you under the giant arboreal wonders after just half a mile. The grove of 241 coastal redwoods is the largest in Southern California. It grew from a local bank’s seedling promotion in the 1970s. Among the nearly 100-foot Sequoia sempervirens specimens, you’ll notice the temperature drops more than 10 degrees (as if you need another reason to go). Info: Easy. Two-mile loop with 100 feet of gain. Start at the nature trail from the south parking lot at 4442 Carbon Canyon Road, Brea. Park in dirt/paved lots ($3 weekdays, $5 weekends); dog-friendly. El Modena Open Space and Old Towne Orange As the sixth-most populous county in the U.S., Orange County is no hidden haven. On your next visit, revel in a hike on the Orange Hills trail through El Modena Open Space and an urban jaunt through charming Old Towne Orange. At Cannon Street and Patria Court, look for a singletrack trailhead that climbs 500 feet in just half a mile, rewarding you with views of the Santiago Creek Basin and O.C. suburbia. As you walk by plentiful prickly pear cactus, you can spot downtown Los Angeles as well as the peaks of the San Gabriels and Santa Anas and even Santa Catalina on a clear day. The trail connects with Cannon Street. Head to the Orange Metrolink station to find free parking before your trek through the city’s Old Towne district. Take time to explore the picturesque area that’s home to the secondlargest concentration of historical buildings in the state as well as the pristine grounds of Chapman University. Info: Easy. 4½-mile loop with 500 feet of gain. Start at Cannon Street and Patria Court for the 2½-mile trail and two-mile walk on city streets to complete the loop. Park on the street or in a free paved lot. Dog friendly. El Moro Canyon, Crystal Cove State Park Crystal Cove State Park may be best known for its glistening beaches, plentiful tide pools (my favorite spot to find hermit crabs dueling over coveted real estate) and the historic Crystal Cove cottages. Although a beach stay is a must, so is a visit to the 2,400 acres of beautiful backcountry that sit across Pacific Coast Highway. Explore it on the nine-mile Perimeter Loop, which rewards hikers with coastal panoramas. Grab a map at the ranger station and hit the No Dogs Trail (is that clear enough?) to start traversing the rolling hills. The marquee route is a three-mile stretch along Moro Ridge, the highest point in the park with the most epic views. You’ll get a chance to descend into Moro Canyon among oaks and sycamores, where you may run into overnighters. Yes, this is also a great spot to test that new backpacking gear with three hike-in campgrounds that require advance reservations (Upper Moro, Lower Moro, Deer Canyon); check with the rangers before heading out. On your trek back toward the coast, enjoy the surrounding coastal sage brush, lemonade berry and the luminous red flowers of paintbrush as you complete the loop. Info: Strenuous. 9½-mile loop with 1,400 feet of gain. Start at the No Dogs Trail next to the ranger station at 8471 N. Coast Highway, Laguna Beach. Pay to park in the paved lot; no dogs. Oso Viejo Community Park This hike is short and sweet, and Oso lovely. It’s a simple, but effective way to describe the Oso Creek Trail that meanders through REDWOODS in Carbon Canyon, top, the view from El Modena Open Space, middle, and looking west from Upper Newport Bay, bottom. Oso Viejo Community Park in Mission Viejo, the ideal twomile trek for a pre- or post-work workout. After passing well-manicured grassy fields, public workout equipment and festive murals, the trail descends

Photographs by Matt Pawlik Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park into the ravine and crosses the creek. The peaceful riparian corridor is shaded by a grove of coast live oaks and California sycamores. Nature and art blend on this hike, which includes a community-built peace obelisk honoring 9/11 victims. You will also find an awesome Victorianinfluenced hedge maze that has steppingstones painted by local children. After checking out a butterfly garden and another bridge crossing, look for a beautiful, colorful mosaic path flanked by stunning columns made of recycled glass. After climbing out of the mini canyon, don’t miss the playground that features adorable bear statues (Oso Viejo means “old bear” in Spanish) before returning to the starting point. Or do the loop all over again. Info: Easy. 2¼-mile loop with 100 feet of gain. Start at Oso Viejo Community Park, 24932 Veterans Way, Mission Viejo. Park in a paved lot; dog friendly. San Clemente Beach Trail A trip to O.C. (FYI, locals don’t use “the”) is not complete without a stop at a picturesque coastal town. Enter the San Clemente Beach Trail, a 4½mile dirt path that will more than satisfy your beachcombing needs. The route heads south from North Beach and parallels the train tracks (which the Pacific Surfliner graces), briefly becoming a raised boardwalk to protect vernal pools. Use a pedestrian rail crossing to give your feet a sandy respite or, if you are looking for a workout, you can high-step a number of staircases that lead to the sea cliffs. After a mile, you’ll reach the San Clemente Pier, the ideal spot to stop for a latte (Bear Coast Coffee) or a detour visit to the Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens ($5), once the home of the city’s founder. The trail continues past dense blooms of honeysuckle and the city’s official flower, bougainvillea, until terminating at the sandstone cliffs of Calafia State Beach. You can head back here or continue to San Clemente State Beach for a blufftop picnic spot and campground. Try this walk at sunset. Info: Easy. 4.6-mile out-and-back with 50 feet of gain (plus staircase workouts). Start at North Beach, on the south end of the San Clemente Metrolink parking lot. Park in the paved lot ($1.50 an hour) or on the street. Dogs allowed on the trail but not on the beach. Santiago Oaks Regional Park Looking for the best dam hike in Orange County? Look no farther than a 3½-mile loop through beautiful Santiago Oaks Regional Park in Orange that features expansive views, local history and not one but two significant dams. The 1,269 acres consist of a diverse multi-use trail system through riparian and chaparral environments with impressive interpretive and directional signage. Start at the nature center and head out on the Historic Dam Trail alongside Santiago Creek until you reach a small pond and the historic dam site, with original stonework from its construction in 1892. Next, hop onto the Santiago Creek Trail, ignoring junctions as the massive, modern Villa Park Dam completes your dam duo. Head northwest on the Bobcat Meadow Trail followed by the Sage Ridge Trail to enjoy continuous vistas and perhaps a grazing mule deer. Hop onto the Oak Trail and Wilderness Trail (got this memorized yet?) to find a charming wooden staircase, completing the loop. Info: Easy. 3½-mile loop with 450 feet of gain. Start at the Historic Dam Trail at the Nature Center at 2145 N. Windes Drive, Orange. Park in the dirt/paved lots ($3 on weekdays, $5 on weekends); dog friendly. Upper Newport Bay Preserve Newport Beach is where you’ll find some of the biggest things in O.C.: homes, boats, egos (just kidding, Newportians) and, perhaps more surprising, the largest estuary in the area. The Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve, a coastal wetland formed by the intersection of San Diego Creek freshwater and the Pacific, is best enjoyed on an eightmile out-and-back hike that deposits you at the ocean. Start at the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center, which has a rooftop observation deck for breathtaking views of the entire bay. Search the skies for winged members of the more than 200 species that call the estuary home, from great blue herons to peregrine falcons to the endangered California least tern. Throughout the trek, spur trails take you through coastal sage scrub to reach eye level with the lagoon. Here, look for stingrays in the water and saltmarsh bird’s beak, an endangered indigenous herb. After the trail reaches the park boundary, continue on streets (Irvine Avenue to Dover Drive to Pacific Coast Highway) — passing Castaways Park for more sweeping marine views — to reach the Newport coast to grab a bite and check out yachts along the bay. Info: Moderate. 8-mile out-and-back with 400 feet of gain. Start the Bayview Trail at the interpretive center, 2301 University Drive, Newport Beach. Park in the dirt lot; dog friendly. Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park Crave a quick get away? Take a trip to the American Southwest without leaving SoCal. Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park is home to a stunning red rock canyon reminiscent of those found in Arizona and Utah. To get to Orange County’s backyard badlands, hop onto the Borrego Canyon Trail at the park’s entrance plaza for a 4¼-mile out-andback adventure through a small portion of the 2,500acre park. The wide dirt path meanders through heavily shaded riparian and oak woodland for most of the journey, with multiple crossings of the Borrego, Serrano and Aliso creeks. These provide ample opportunities for wildlife viewing, from mule deer to striped racer snakes to acorn woodpeckers. At the intersection with the Mustard Loop, find the Red Rock Canyon marker just past a large wooden trail board. As you head north on a sandy wash, the red stone pinnacles come into view, looming above the chaparral-dotted canyon. In just half a mile, you’ll find yourself at the base of the awe-inspiring geological gems, sculpted by water and wind over millions of years. Though interpretive signs warn you not to climb the vibrant cliffs, you can enjoy them from multiple vantage points, which is more than enough to feel worlds away from the suburbia that surrounds you. Info: Moderate. 4½-mile out-andback with 500 feet of gain. Start at the Borrego Canyon Trail, 2670 Portola Parkway, Foothill Ranch. Park in the paved lot ($3); no dogs
F6 S ATU R DAY , AU G U S T 7, 2021 LAT IMES. C OM H OW D O YO U travel with someone who has dementia? No. 1: Learn to count to 10. Slowly. Backward and forward. Several times a day. No. 2: Bring a companion — preferably someone who has Rule No. 1 down pat. No. 3: Keep trips as selfcontained and well-planned as possible. No. 4: Choose a single destination and get there ASAP. No. 5: Brace yourself for awkward moments involving restrooms, especially if your travel companion is other gendered. I am not an expert and these are not blanket assertions. I know dementia and travel rarely mix, because people with dementia react poorly to any change in location or routine. But with an estimated 1 in 9 Americans over age 45 reporting “subjective cognitive decline” — a.k.a. memory loss that impairs daily life — dementia is a growing reality for many families, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And sometimes even people with dementia need to travel. The national Alzheimer’s Assn. reports that more than 11% of Americans age 65 or older have Alzheimer’s dementia, a number expected to more than double by 2050. Its website has several tips for traveling, as do AARP and the Family Caregiver Alliance. To start, these sites recommend two things: Honestly assess your companion’s ability to travel, and make sure he or she is carrying or wearing some kind of identification in case you get separated. The sites make it clear that your experience will vary depending on the status of your companion’s disease. I can attest to that. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2011, and our travel options have changed dramatically as his disease has advanced. Nonetheless, we have traveled over the last decade by air and auto, beginning in 2013 with a trip to New York and then Europe to see family and friends. It was a kind of farewell tour while my husband could still (sort of) recognize his siblings. The trip was not without its challenges. In Frankfurt, Germany, a place neither of us had been, we took a stroll to help us adjust to a new time zone. Throughout the walk, my husband insisted that not only had he visited the town in his 20s but had lived there for nearly a year. It wasn’t until the next day that I understood he thought we were still in New York. Our six-hour plane ride to Germany hadn’t registered. Eight years and one pandemic later, I no longer consider air travel with my husband. Our last flight was in February 2020 to Washington state for the birth of our grandchild. My husband didn’t remember he had children, let alone grandchildren, so he had no interest in the trip. During the threehour flight, he repeatedly asked the same questions at increasing volume: “Where are we? Why are we doing this? Let’s get in the car and go HOME!” Pause. Repeat. Which brings us to this spring. We were fully vaccinated, places were reopening, and I was itching to do more than share screens with my friends and family in Washington. Driving was the only option. My husband is anxious anytime he leaves the house and even short car trips agitate him. But my desperation to visit was strong. I figured we could bring our terrier and spaniel to help soothe my husband because they’re the only creatures he seems to recognize. But the logistics were daunting. It’s a two-day drive. How would I manage pit stops with the dogs and my husband, who can’t use a public restroom alone? Luckily, a dear friend who manages youth camps offered to accompany us on the drive to Washington and back. I took full advantage of her easygoing personality, honed by raising four children and overseeing hundreds of little campers. She kept my husband full of snacks, distracted him with stories and music when he became agitated, and took charge of walking the dogs during our stops so I could find a toilet. Which bring us to, in reverse order, tips on how to handle traveling with someone with dementia: Micah Fluellen Los Angeles Times WHEN A TRAVEL BUDDY HAS DEMENTIA HOW TO HANDLE BATHROOM BREAKS, ANXIETY, ESCAPE ATTEMPTS AND MORE BY J E A N E T T E M A RA N TO S NO. 5: RESTROOM AWKWARDNESS Parents, especially single parents, deal with this all the time, as in a mom dragging her 4-year-old son into the ladies room. It’s more complicated with adults. The last time my husband used a public toilet alone was two years ago. He walked into a department store restroom, handed his jacket and hat to a man who’d finished washing his hands, and then tried to pee in the sink. The sainted man kindly directed my husband to a urinal and then escorted him outside, handing me his clothing with sympathy and obvious relief. Awkward? Oh yes. That’s why unisex family restrooms were created, right? By now they should be the norm in all U.S. rest stops, department stores and other public spaces. Should be but aren’t, for reasons economic, political and just plain ignoranical, said Tim Pyle, executive director of the American Restroom Assn., which advocates for public unisex toilets. All-gender restrooms “solve so many problems,” Pyle said, for people who can’t use a toilet by themselves. (Moreover, Pyle said the cost savings of building unisex facilities instead of traditional single-gender restrooms is significant. Six unisex, disabledaccessible toilets take up 25% less space than building separate three-stall restrooms for men and women, according to the association’s architects.) But back to our trip. Could I expect to find family restrooms at rest stops or gas stations? I tried calling ahead for answers and discovered it’s uncharted territory. Caltrans’ handy QuickMap website and app includes information about its highway rest stops but no specifics about whether they are single-stall or gender-neutral. Even Caltrans spokesman Michael Comeaux had trouble finding an answer. Bottom line: Some have them, some don’t, and there’s no way to tell until you get there. The state recognizes the usefulness of gender-neutral family restrooms, Comeaux said, and since early 2000 has been updating its rest stops, but the process is slow because building new facilities is expensive. In the meantime, Caltrans has added signs saying, “Attendant of the opposite sex may accompany disabled person” at rest stops without family bathrooms. In other words, don’t be shocked if you see me leading my husband into a stall in the women’s restroom. I thought longingly about old-fashioned gas stations, which had single-stall restrooms on the side of the building and usually were entered from the outside. But those aren’t easy to find, and cleanliness is hit-and-miss. Truck-stop restrooms are usually clean, but those often don’t have family-style restrooms either. Many have payto-use shower rooms, which include a toilet along with a shower stall and sink, but they aren’t cheap. So research didn’t help. Once we started our trip, however, I discovered qualities I hadn’t considered: empathy and compassion. At Klamath Falls in southern Oregon, for instance, we stopped at Pilot Travel Center No. 504 for gas and restrooms. The store and single-gender restrooms were crowded, but the manager kindly opened the side door and directed us to a freshly cleaned shower room. I offered to pay to use the room — typically a $15 charge — but she waved me off, saying she understood because she too had a relative with dementia. As the trip progressed, I discovered that lots of people have a family member with dementia and quickly understood our dilemma at rest stops, gas stations and hotels. So if it’s any consolation, you are not alone. Don’t be shy about explaining the situation and asking for help. So back to the tips: NO. 4: GET THERE ASAP People with dementia are confused about everything, including where they are, so traveling is an additional cognitive challenge for them and their caregivers. If you want to take a road trip, I recommend a single, specific destination and keeping stops for the restroom and food to a minimum. Spontaneous side trips add to my husband’s anxiety because it’s a new situation he must process. What was once delightful is now frightening and disorienting. We made a beeline to our destination in Washington and saved the little adventures for another day. Familiar items in the car seemed to help too — in this case his favorite playlists, a few books and our two dogs, who snuggled next to him during the trip. We were lucky to stay in our old home while in Washington. He no longer recognizes the house or the street or even our friends and family, but we lived in that house for more than 20 years. On some subconscious level, perhaps, he seemed comforted when we were there. If you stay with friends or family, make sure they understand the situation. It’s super stressful to share space with people who are freaked out by dementia. NO. 2: BRING A PAL Having a support person with you makes all the difference between a grit-your-teeth trip and a bearable journey. Driving for two days with my friend and my unhappy husband wasn’t a barrel of laughs, but it’s a blessing to have someone who can run interference and is better at counting to 10. Choose a friend who has a sunny, sympathetic disposition; this is not the time to bring someone who will take sides and feed your often justified need to gripe. I worried that I was asking too much, but my friend said she looked forward to having time to talk during our drive. But one relationship tip: If you’re traveling with a “helper” friend, reserve a suite or a second room so they can have some privacy and respite. NO. 3: PLAN, PLAN, PLAN Choose a route ahead of time and plan where you will stay. Reserve a room and inquire about access. Do you have to walk through many public spaces to reach your room? Once inside, bar your door — and know that using the chain isn’t enough, as I learned on one trip when we stayed in an oldfashioned motel with rooms that opened onto the parking lot. In the middle of the night, I awakened to see my barefoot husband open the door and step out into the wintry night. When I asked what he was doing, he said he was looking for the bathroom. I’ve learned to put a chair and other bulky, crinkly items (a tote bag full of snack items works well) in front of the door. It’s not foolproof, but moving all those items is discouraging and noisy enough to wake me before he can open the door. We also brought lots of snacks. The trick is to stave off hunger until you stop for the night, then eat a proper meal in your room. If your hotel doesn’t have room service, check takeout options before you arrive (note closing times) and then have your meal (and maybe a nice libation) delivered to your hotel. NO. 1: COUNT TO 10 I am not a born caregiver. I get impatient a lot, so “Count to 10, backward and forward” is my mantra. I keep repeating it; if I don’t, I start shrieking. Nobody chooses this path, but my husband and I are on it together, at least as long as I can manage it. So, yes, travel is possible. Find your own patience mantra and remember: There’s no shame in seeking the kindness of strangers — and lots of help from loving family and friends.

L AT I M E S . CO M WSC E SAT URDAY , AUGUST 7, 2021 A WFH DREAM: THE PERFECT HILLSIDE HIDEAWAY BY L I SA B O O N E W HEN FILMMAKER and poet Jane Stephens Rosenthal purchased her 1905 Craftsmaninspired house in Elysian Heights in 2013, she was particularly charmed by the backyard’s idiosyncratic hand-built structures. The previous owner, a set decorator, had adorned the steep, multilevel yard with theatrical arches, a rustic stone fireplace and a disintegrating, unpermitted open-air pavilion, which included electricity. “The yard is what captivated me,” says Rosenthal. She enclosed the pavilion and turned it into her writing studio. But she also knew that the unpermitted structure was not a long-term solution. “It was a hazard,” recalls designer Ben Warwas. Rosenthal reached out to architect Chris Skeens, who along with Warwas, is fresh off receiving a merit award in the category of additions and accessory dwelling units at this year’s American Institute of Architects, Los Angeles residential awards. In the hopes of creating a writing studio as unique as the original structure, Rosenthal asked the pair to design something fresh and new for her backyard. “I wanted my own space to work,” says Rosenthal, who is working on a coming-of-age feature. “But I also wanted to keep that whimsical vibe.” The result? The ultimate WFH cave, the result of intense collaboration between artist, designer and architect. After 12 months of work, held up by significant delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they Photographs by dubbed the new writing studio “Stiff Peaks” to acknowledge its most dramatic feature — a scalloped parapet that resembles beaten egg whites and disguises a roof deck where Rosenthal can catch some rays and not be seen by her neighbors on the hill next door. The designers started with a box-themed structure, but Rosenthal wanted something more dynamic and interesting. “I wanted a hovel, a hut,” she says. Skeens and Warwas were delighted by her response and proceeded to research primitive stucco huts. The designers met while attending graduate school at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc). In this project, their deft blend of the Los Angeles vernacular — Spanish revival and storybook architecture — served as inspiration for the studio, totaling 480 square feet including the rooftop deck. “We looked at interesting ceilings,” Warwas explains. “Once we removed the Spanish roof, it became about the parapet and continuing the Mediterranean logic.” The studio was designed and permitted as a recreation room (if it included a kitchen and full bath, it would be considered an ADU) where Rosenthal can write and create, and many of its design elements — a skylight that brings the outdoors in and custom arched windows and doors inspired by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ beach house on the Greek Island of Skorpios — give the hut the feel of a sacred space. “The contractor thought we were building a church,” Skeens says with a laugh. Adds Rosenthal: “I take all my meetings in the studio, and when I Zoom, the arched windows are all anyone talks about.” Because the studio, which PERCHED on a hill, Stiff Peaks offers views of downtown L.A. Arched windows and doors bring in ocean breezes and a classic California indoor-outdoor feel. includes a half bathroom, faces the main house, the designers placed the windows so Rosenthal looks out into the yard and not at the house, a move that makes the studio feel like an escape. “The windows draw you outside,” she says. The furnishings are minimal, including a small couch and two chairs and a modest antique desk where Rosenthal works bathed in natural light. Bohemian textiles, works of art and books add personality and warmth to the interiors, but the custom windows and doors give the studio a classic California indoor-outdoor feel. Perhaps most impressive is the writing studio’s rooftop deck, an open room hidden by a curved parapet, which offers views of downtown Los Angeles. Here, Rosenthal can take a break from work and experience cool ocean breezes from the west under the shade of a mature tree canopy. “Because it’s on an intense hill, we saw the building as an extension of the landscape,” says Skeens. “Jane can peek over the house and see downtown Los Angeles and Echo Park.” Think inside the boxes.

The project's footprint, while small, involved extensive excavation and foundation work due to the hillside location — a retaining wall was necessary to hold up the hill. In architecture, the client is often as important as the architect, Warwas says. “She was a courageous client,” Skeens adds. “But then, she is an artist herself. She carried the concept through with us and became one of the collaborators. Ultimately, it was about creating different perspectives and moments and seeing things in new ways.”
F8 S ATU R DAY , AU G U S T 7, 2021 LAT IMES. C OM Y ou can walk around the corner and fall in love.” Those were words of wisdom from my kooky great-aunt Estelle, who loved the idea of love and would seek me out at family events to bestow her advice. Just keep turning corners, she’d offer, and you’ll bump into the person you’re meant to be with. But I had walked around too many bad corners, and I was at a point in my life when I was determined to go only in straight lines. I had moved back to Southern California after graduating from college on the East Coast. Before I could unpack, people were trying to line up dates for me. My cousin, my aunt’s friend, my grandmother’s lunch buddy all wanted to fill my dance card. My polite “No, thank you” never seemed to discourage them, which led me to find myself on ill-fated outings. There was the man who took me to a Chinese restaurant in Studio City and refused to let me order. He proclaimed that he knew the best dishes on the menu, but they all contained either pork or shellfish, two items I do not eat. Or the guy who spent our time together asking for dating advice, which he admitted he wanted to use to win back his ex-girlfriend. Or the guy who took me to an art exhibit in Pasadena. I thought we’d had a nice time, but when he drove me home he put the car in park and crushed me up against the passenger seat as he leaned over to swing open my door. (I thought at first he might be trying to kiss me, but in retrospect, I think it was a graceless attempt at chivalry. No thanks.) So far, “turning corners” — being ready to bump into my forever person — equaled disaster. The men weren’t to blame. It was the well-meaning matchmakers who saw two single people and thought, “Bingo! A match!” without any regard to whether it was really a match. Besides, I did not believe I would actually turn a corner and suddenly Mr. Right would crash into me. So when a colleague at the teen magazine where I worked began asking whether I was single and what I liked in a guy, I could see where it was going. I was not interested in catching what Joey was throwing at me. I walkernoble.com For The Times L . A . A F FA I R S Was I turning a corner?

He took me to a little bar and grill in Agua Dulce, after seeking out recommendations. He said he’d picked it because the menu was broad said I was done, done, done with being set up. But Joey insisted that I might like his friend Eric. Joey said he just knew it would be a match. He said he and his wife met on a setup, and he wanted to pass along his good luck. There was something about it that made me say, “OK, have him give me a call.” Eric called that night, and we talked for more than three hours. The conversation was never forced. It felt right, as we talked about a variety of topics and realized how much we had in common. I asked him what he had been doing earlier that evening, and he said he’d been sitting by the fire reading Browning. “Which one,” I asked, “Elizabeth Barrett or Robert?” My question about which poet he preferred was met with silence.

I was living in the Santa Clarita Valley at the time, and after dinner he said he wanted to take “the canyon way” back to my place. I didn’t think much of it until I noticed how dark it was on the lonely stretch of road through the mountain pass and how few cars there seemed to be. I started to get nervous. Then he slowed and pulled off the road. “What are we doing?” I asked. “It’s a surprise,” he said and got out of the car. I heard him pop the trunk. By now, I was scared.

He adjusted the cardboard — which turned out to be a star chart — between us. I was hooked. On weekends, we strolled through LACMA, the Norton Simon Museum and the Natural History Museum, and went to plays. As I fell in love with a city that was always in the background, I also fell hard for Eric. He’d even bought himself rollerblades because he knew how much I enjoyed gliding along the bike path in Venice Beach. A few months later, he said he’d like to take me to Venice for my 30th birthday, which was several months off. Thinking he meant Venice, Calif., I smiled and said, “We can go anytime. Why wait?” Then it was his turn to smile. “I meant Venice, Italy.” As we gazed upon the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, he promised more adventures as he proposed.

J24 HOT PROPERTY LOS ANGELES TIMES S A T U R D A Y , A U G U S T 7 , 2 0 21 WSCE B2B PUBLISHING HOT PROPERTY Photo courtesy of Content That Works DECK OR PATIO? C hoose an outdoor living platform that’s right for your needs. A backyard comprised only of grass offers a lush green terra firma on which to engage in cookouts, entertaining, sports and games, reading, and relaxing. But it lacks the aesthetically appealing and delineated structure that a man-made recreational stage can provide in the form of a deck or patio. “Priorities have shifted over the last year, with homeowners having a newfound appreciation for outdoor living. They are increasingly looking for a quality place to refresh and host guests, which has been the primary driver for a patio or deck project,” says Joe Raboine, director of Residential Hardscapes for Atlanta-based Belgard. Patrick Bertke, an industrial designer with Barrette Outdoor Living in Galloway, New Jersey, says homeowners with homes that have a first floor more than 20 inches off grade are good candidates for a deck because it will serve as a seamless transition from your home to your backyard. “But if your first floor is less than seven inches above grade, your home may be better suited for a patio so that you can move seamlessly from your house to the patio in a matter of steps,” Bertke says. “Plus, patios require less maintenance because you don’t need the structural components a deck requires to be elevated off the ground.” A deck made of wood or composite can add an attractive focal point to your yard, compliments of the handsome real or faux wood material chosen; surrounded by optional railings, a deck can also safely contain your elevated area, preventing kids and pets from going where you don’t want them to outside. Being raised, a deck will improve your visibility of the surrounding neighborhood, too. A patio, by contrast, will likely last longer, as the common materials are stained or stamped concrete, natural stone, or interlocking, permeable, or porcelain pavers. Patios don’t require a local permit to build, either. You’ll get more privacy because you won’t be elevated as you would with a deck. The average price range to build a deck is $4,151 to $11,238 versus $1,850 to $5,161 for a patio. “Shop around thoroughly and request price quotes from a few different experts. Try to choose someone whose work you’ve seen in person and who has a good reputation,” suggests Carlos Coronado, lead designer for Muretti, a Masbeth, New York-headquartered design-build firm. He also recommends researching the contractor or company online for reviews and complaints. – CTW Features Contact us with comments or questions at hotproperty@latimes.com
