Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:17:14 GMT

SACRAMENTO — Gary Payton II admitted he isn’t playing at 100 percent. He’s still getting his legs back after an illness that kept him watching in bed for Game 3.Even not at full strength, Payton was pivotal in limiting De’Aaron Fox for the Warriors’ Game 5 win against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night at Golden1 Center.“It was really about limiting his touches, have someone else grab the ball and over play him on actions on the other side,” Payton said. “He’s making everything in the paint so we let him live with the 3 and contest him.”Much had been made of Fox’s broken finger on his left (shooting) hand entering Game 5.

Fox erupted for 15 points in his first 12 minutes.Coach Steve Kerr turned to Payton at the 8:20 mark of the second quarter, hoping to slow the NBA Clutch Player of the Year’s roll.Payton’s impact was immed...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:17:14 GMT

As a 19-year-old African-American, first-year student at Laney College in Oakland and a youth climate activist, I have seen the impact that air pollution has on communities of color such as mine in Vallejo — in a region ranked sixth worst in the nation by the American Lung Association on its 2023 State of the Air report. It’s time for the California Air Resources Board to take action and adopt the Advanced Clean Fleet rule at their meeting this week.Growing up in an underserved community in the Bay Area, I have seen the devastating effects of poor air quality on the health of my family and friends. For a Girl Scouts project, I did some research and learned that children in my community suffer from asthma at rates much higher than the national average. This is unacceptable. Our state has the opportunity to lead the way in reducing harmful emissions and protecting the health of our most vulnerable communities.The Advanced Clean Fleet rule will help do just that.
