Lawmakers and the public have had little input” (Aug. 31).Gov. Gavin Newsom has a vision for San Quentin State Prison. He is a visionary with a lot of love for the Bay Area. The vision he has for San Quentin is a great plan, with little to no details. This scares many inmates, advocacy groups and justice-reform activists.But from my perspective, as someone who has been in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for 28 years now, the vision is great, but the plans and program details must be shared with the public. Justice-reform activists, criminal-justice advocates and volunteer groups that offer the programs must be included in the folds of progress. This can’t be about politics if it’s truly about change.The main goal must be change, to get inmates ready for real rei...

Family urges arrest of officer after shooting video released

By Samantha Hendrickson | Associated Press/Report for AmericaCOLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio authorities on Friday released bodycam video showing a police officer fatally shooting Ta’Kiya Young in her car in what her family denounced as a “gross misuse of power and authority” against the pregnant Black mother.Sean Walton, an attorney representing Young’s family, said the video clearly shows that the Aug. 24 shooting of the 21-year-old woman was unjustified and he called for the officer to be fired and charged immediately. Walton also criticized police for not releasing the video footage for more than a week after the shooting.“Ta’Kiya’s family is heartbroken,” Walton said in an interview with The Associated Press. “The video did nothing but confirm their fears that Ta’Kiya was murdered unjustifiably … and it was just heartbreaking for them to see Ta’Kiya having her life taken away under such ridiculous circumstances.̶...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:12 GMT

The pain of the Pac-12 breakup started to fade for Stanford women’s basketball coach Tara VanDerveer as soon as Stanford and Cal announced Friday that they would be joining the ACC next summer.VanDerveer has been leading the prestigious Stanford women’s basketball program since 1985, coaching in the Final Four 15 times since then, and has become the all-time leader in women’s basketball victories with 1,186.To see the Pac-12 fall apart over the last month was heartbreaking, she said Friday, but joining the ACC along with Dallas-based Southern Methodist will be more than just a consolation prize.“To see something you’ve been a part of for 40 years fall apart in 40 minutes was incredibly painful, sad, angry, everything you can imagine,” she said by phone. “It’s just really, really hard. But the people at Stanford … have worked really hard to have us as coaches and student-athletes be able to land in a great place.”ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said Friday that he expects the new align...

No spider bite or fainting spell at the US Open for Tommy Paul and his family. Just another win

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:12 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — When Tommy Paul was a kid growing up in Greenville, North Carolina, his family would drive the 500 or so miles up to New York the week before the U.S. Open to watch qualifying matches — “It was free,” he notes — and catch a glimpse of some pros practicing.A couple of times, according to Paul, those treks involved a visit to an emergency room on the tournament grounds: his sister was bitten by a poisonous spider; his mother passed out and hit her head after seeing a player get badly injured. “Every year,” Paul said, “we always had something terrible happen.”This trip to Flushing Meadows is going far more smoothly so far for Paul — and other American men. The 26-year-old Paul, the No. 14 seed, earned a debut appearance in the fourth round at the U.S. Open by hitting 15 aces and getting broken just once during a 6-1, 6-0, 3-6, 6-3 victory over No. 21 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Friday.“I was kind of, like, ‘Really, they’re putting me o...
