TOKYO — On a sunny Saturday
afternoon in Tokyo, a few disappointed skateboarders hung about
outside the sealed-off grounds of
Komazawa Skate Park, boards in
hand.
Some were regulars, there to

earlier in the week.

Tension rising at the Texas border
Ranchers fear violence as migration intersects with hunting season
By Molly

DEL RIO, Texas — When
ranch manager Cole Hill saw
the back door of a house he
was supposed to be guarding kicked in last Saturday,
he suspected migrants had
broken in.
Hill, 31, a father of three
small children, had responded to a break-in earlier that
day and the past Thursday
at the 8,000-acre Gun Hill
Ranch about 100 miles west
of San Antonio. Never had
he seen so many migrants

Texas outpost, hundreds
trying to skirt a nearby U.S.
Customs and Border Protection checkpoint. He
started carrying a 9-millimeter handgun on his hip.
Hill figured migrants he

there, too. So he entered

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.

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.”

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Aviv, and Karam, reporting

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.

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.

In Japan, convenience stores like nowhere else
[Tokyo, from A1]
42,000 accredited foreigners
who converged here for the
Games. 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

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.

is essentially banned in public areas, including most
parks, and dedicated skate
parks are a magnet for police
inspection and complaints,
skaters say. 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-

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.”

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-

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.

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.

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.
Lozano said even migrant advocates he knows

WHY PAY MORE? SEE IT, BUY IT, TAKE IT HOME TODAY!
want to see more enforcement in the area. “It’s a sad
day when you see the biggest
immigrant advocates in
your community saying, ‘No
more,’ ” 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.

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.

6 killed in plane crash in Alaska
Aircraft went down
during a sightseeing
trip in the southeast
part of the state.
associated press
JUNEAU, Alaska — A
sightseeing plane crashed
Thursday in southeast
Alaska, killing all six people
on board, the U.S. Coast
Guard said.
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.

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-

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.”

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

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.”

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-

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.

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.

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

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.”

Does it feel like 2003?
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.

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.

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.

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.

Delta’s surge brings state to 4 million cases
By Luke Money
California has now reported
4 million coronavirus infections,
Times data show — a milestone
that underscores the extent to
which the pandemic has roared
back to life as the ultra-transmissible Delta variant continues to
storm across the state.
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,

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

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.”

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%.”

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.”

[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.”

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,”

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.

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.”

That’s why it was so

Burke Harris cited a

Black Americans believe
that having a mental health

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

in tragedy for those who are
Black or Latino.
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

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

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.

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. They
have some different rules in
place for basically everything now.”

[Smith, from B1]
COVID-19, especially here in
Los Angeles, as well as a
massive economic toll from
lost jobs, lost wages, lost
family businesses and lost
housing. 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. And I
think that it makes it really

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.

MATHY, Jean Smith
January 5, 1923 - July 2, 2021
[Recall, from B1]
porter — a rallying cry in a
state won overwhelmingly
by Joe Biden in the 2020
presidential election.
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, Pauline Ruth, age 96, of Los Angeles,
died peacefully of natural causes on July 17, seven
years to the day after the death of her beloved
husband David H. 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. A memorial service will be held this fall.

SUDOKU
By Frank Stewart
Simple Saturday columns focus on improving
basic technique and developing logical thinking.
A good writer is careful to
use the more forceful active
voice unless passive voice is
indicated. A good defender
is able to distinguish times
when he must look for fast
tricks (active defense) from
times when he can wait (passive defense).
Against four spades,
West takes the K-A of clubs.
East plays the two and 10.
West can expect South to
have at least five trump
tricks, and dummy’s diamonds will furnish four
tricks even if East has the
king. Since South clearly has
the material for 10 or more
tricks, the defense needs
KENKEN
Every box will contain a number; numbers depend on the size of the grid. For a 6x6
puzzle, use Nos. 1-6. Do not repeat a number in any row or column. The numbers in each
heavily outlined set of squares must combine to produce the target number found in the
top left corner of the cage using the mathematical operation indicated. A number can be
repeated within a cage as long as it is not in the same row or column.
four in a hurry.
West must lead a heart —
active defense — at Trick 3.
East’s queen forces out
South’s ace, and the defense
cashes a heart when East
takes the king of diamonds.
If South had the A-Q of
hearts, West would lose
nothing since South would
discard hearts on dummy’s
diamonds anyway. But if
East has a high heart, West
must get active.
You hold: ♠ 6 5 ♥ Q 7 5 3 2
♦ K 8 6 ♣ 10 9 2. The dealer, at
your left, opens one club.
Your partner doubles, you
respond one heart and he
bids three hearts. What do
you say?
Answer: You should go to
four hearts. Partner’s double obliged you to respond,
and you would have bid one
heart with no points at all.
Even so, he expects you to
take nine tricks, and since
you actually have a five-card
suit, a queen and a king, you
will take at least 10.

HOROSCOPE
By Holiday Mathis
Aries (March 21-April 19):
When you don’t have the patience to sit through the lecture or read the book, dive in
and learn by doing. 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.
Mathis writes her column
for Creators Syndicate Inc.
The horoscope should be
read for entertainment.
Dear Amy: I sit on a volunteer community board. 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.
If the mere possibility of
engaging in an argument
Dear Amy: I am in the
process of divorcing my second husband.
My first marriage happened when I was too young;
we divorced when I was 29.
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.

Coastal clouds to start, seasonable: Now that an onshore flow has increased and the recent warmth and heat
reduced across the region, look for high temperatures to remain at or a little below average today and Sunday.
Low clouds and patchy fog will be common to start each morning along the coast, coastal plain and coastal

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.

Diego Union-Tribune. The

above
Olympic Stadium, her
breath depleted but her
hope of winning a medal still
filling her heart.
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.”

SAITAMA, Japan — There was

It did not matter that the lingering physical and mental effects of
the NBA bubble and the compressed season that followed kept
several American stars from competing in these Olympics. 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

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.”

two days later.
The 33-year-old’s return
for a third Summer Games
was hardly assured. 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

wrote: “Other kids wanted to
be astronauts or firefighters;
I wanted to be a runner. Even
on the hardest days I try to

self only dreamed about.”
She screamed when she

3-2 on penalty kicks after a 1-1
draw.
Julia Grosso, just 20, converted the winning penalty
kick, putting her shot off the
right hand of goalkeeper
Hedvig Lindahl.

The governing body of cycling suspended a German
official for the rest of the year
on Friday for using a racist
slur during the Olympic
men’s time trial.
The International Cycling Union said Patrick
Moster accepted a ban
through Dec. 31. Moster used
the slur while a German
rider chased opponents
from Algeria and Eritrea
during the race on July 28.
The comment was heard on
TV broadcasts.

“I was determined to do

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.

AMERICAN Brittney Griner grabs a rebound against Serbia in the second half of a semifinal. 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.

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.”

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.

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

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.”

which Boston’s Hansel Robles hit
Randal Grichuk with a pitch, leading to
players spilling onto the field.
Starling Marte hit a three-run homer in

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.

Leonard back in Clippers’ fold
[Clippers, from D1]
day. 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.

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

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.

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

long-distance runners
are 0 for Olympics.

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.

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

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.

PEAK OF THE SEASON
BY N A N ST E R M A N
W
E ’ V E H A D H E AT , humidity and surprise showers so far
this summer. 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,

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.

> 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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:

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.

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

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.

For this pair, who collaborated on all aspects of the addition with help from Rosenthal,
the playful elements are as
important as creating an efficient work-from-home environment in a small footprint.
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.”

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

“Robert,” he finally said, adding
in astonishment: “When I talk
about Browning, no one has
ever asked me which one.” At
the end of our conversation, I
accepted his dinner invitation.
Date night arrived with a
prompt knock on my door. Eric
stood there with yellow tulips,
my favorite. I was speechless.
And impressed. 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.

enough that I was sure to find
something I liked. No one had
ever done that for me before.
(And he didn’t know it then, but
I am a picky eater.)
Was I turning a corner?
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. I was in
the middle of nowhere with a
stranger. Was he going to chop
me up and throw me over the

cliff? When he appeared at my
car door and opened it, he was
carrying a blanket and what
looked to be a large piece of ...
cardboard?
“This is the perfect spot to see
some amazing constellations,”
he explained as he placed the
blanket on the ground so we
could sit. 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.
For our 20th wedding anniversary, we went back to Venice
and took our son, Ethan.
I guess great-aunt Estelle
knew what she was talking
about. You can walk around a
corner and fall in love.

HISTORIC PASADENA ESTATE
Compass
100 Los Altos was built in 1928 by one of
Pasadena’s most revered, historic architects,
Myron Hubbard Hunt. Sited on nearly two
acres and in a prominent position overlooking
the iconic Colorado Street Bridge, the estate is
located at the gateway to Pasadena between
the Arroyo Seco and Annandale Golf Club.
Entering off the private drive, past the iron
gates and into the motor court, the grandeur
of the architecture is immediately evident
in the impressive facade. A solid, bronze
front door welcomes guests into a dramatic
walnut-paneled gallery and conveys the
old-world opulence found throughout. This
is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of
Pasadena history.
The Details
Location: 100 Los Altos Drive,
Pasadena 91105
Asking price: $9,980,000

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.
