For the moment, Amash said he plans to run for re-election to the House next year as an independent. He said is he “very confi-dent” that he will win his Grand Rapids-area seat again.

A presidential run is “something people talk about all the time,” Amash told CNN’s Jake Tapper, but it’s “not something on my radar right now.” He added that he does not have a time-line for a decision.

Amash insisted there is room for a fierce Trump critic like himself to rise nationally, despite the president’s perceived tight grip over conser-vatives. He said some Republican officials and friends have been “send-ing me text messages, calling me” to offer encouragement after his decision last week to leave the party, and did the same when he called for Trump’s impeach-ment in May.

But, he acknowledged, “they’re not saying it publicly, and it’s prob-lematic for our country and the Republican Party - and the Democratic Party - when they’re notallowed to speak out.”

O t h e r R e p u b l i c a nHouse members, eventhose who have con-cerns about Trump, havedeclined to exit the GOP.

R e p . W i l l H u r d ,R-Texas, who is friendly with Amash, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” onSunday that Amash’s party switch is “unfor-tunate” and said “Justin believes the party is not big enough for his posi-tion and his ideas.” But Hurd said he is stickingwith the GOP and work-ing to expand its appeal with minority voters and independents.

Trump’s lone nota-ble Republican primary challenger is formerMassachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, whose campaign and moderate pitch has struggled to gain traction this summer. If Amash did launch a long-shot bid for the White House, he would not run in that GOP contest but as an independent or a candi-date for the Libertarian Party.

A m a s h , 3 9 , w h owas elected in the tea party wave of 2010, has embraced libertarianprinciples and repeat-edly broke with his party on major issues before he challenged the president.

A Trump politicaladviser who was notauthorized to speak pub-licly said Sunday that the White House is “keeping

an eye” on Amash becausehe could end up being a“nuisance” but said thepresident’s camp is con-fident that GOP voterswould dramatically rejectsuch a candidacy.

Amash also left the con-servative House FreedomCaucus, a group he helpedfound four years ago, inJune.

When asked Sundayabout whether that grouphas corroded congressio-nal debate, Amash said itsfounding purpose was to“open up the process” oflegislating, particularlyamong Republicans, anddefended its efforts.

In a Washington Postop-ed published July 4,the Michigan congress-man said the two-partysystem is in a “partisandeath spiral.” Citingthe warnings in GeorgeWashington’s farewelladdress, Amash wrotethat Americans “haveallowed government offi-cials, under assertions ofexpediency and partyunity, to ignore the mostbasic tenets of our consti-tutional order.”

Amash did not men-tion Trump by name inthe op-ed, but his partyswitch came weeks afterhe posted tweets argu-ing that former specialcounsel Robert Mueller IIIdocumented “impeach-able conduct” in hisreport on Trump’s cam-paign and administrationand Russian interferencein the 2016 election.

On Sunday, Amash toldCNN that he believes only“15 percent” of lawmak-ers in both parties haveread Mueller’s report.

A few hours afterAmash’s declaration,Trump derided him in atweet: “Great news forthe Republican Partyas one of the dumbest& most disloyal men inCongress is ‘quitting’ theParty. No Collusion, NoObstruction! Knew hecouldn’t get the nomina-tion to run again in theGreat State of Michigan.Already being challengedfor his seat. A total loser!”

H o u s e M i n o r i t yLeader Kevin McCarthy,R-Calif., has dismissedAmash as an outlieramong Republicans,c i t i n g a n u m b e r o finstances in which thecongressman voted withDemocrats.

“Justin Amash cand e t e r m i n e h i s o w nfuture. But I think, on aphilosophical basis, he’sprobably in a differentplace than the majority ofall of us,” McCarthy saidlast month.

“I don’t have a responseto it,” Amash said Sundayof Trump’s scathing cri-tique. “He thinks thatpeople owe loyalty to him.But people are elected toCongress with an oath tosupport and defend theConstitution.”

Lahiri said if he wins, he will use some of that money to help fund his college

tuition, and some to continue researching and developing his iCART concept.

All contestants will receive a $1,000 prize, along with the trip to the 3M Innovation Center in St. Paul, where the competition is being held.

Lahiri is currently work-ing with a mentor to further develop his project and pre-pare a presentation for the competition in October.

International reaction to Iran’s decision came swiftly, with Britain warning Iran to “immediately stop and reverse all activities” violat-ing the deal, Germany saying it is “extremely concerned,” and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a longtime critic of the accord, urging world powers to impose so-called “snapback sanctions” on Tehran.

The European Union says parties to the deal are discussing a possible emergency meeting after Iran’s announcement, with EU spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic saying the bloc is “extremely concerned” about the move. There was no immediate response from the White House.

At a news conference, Iranian officials said the new level of uranium enrichment would be reached later in the day, but did not provide the percentage they planned to hit. Under the nuclear deal, the cap for enrichment was set at 3.67%, a percentage closely monitored by inspec-tors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog.

“Within hours, the tech-nical tasks will be done and enrichment above 3.67% will begin,” Iran nuclear

agency spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi said. “We predict that the IAEA mea-surements early tomorrow morning will show that we have gone beyond 3.67%.”

The IAEA said it was aware of Iran’s comments and “inspectors in Iran will report to our headquarters as soon as they verify the announced development.”

Ali Akbar Velayati, an aide to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made remarks in a video Saturday about Iran’s need for 5% enrich-ment. Bushehr, Iran’s only nuclear power plant, is now running on imported fuel from Russia that’s enriched to around 5%.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif sent a letter to EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini outlining the steps it had taken, said Abbas Araghchi, a deputy foreign minister. Discussions with European powers are continuing and ministerial-level talks are planned later this month, he said.

“We will give another 60-day period, and then we will resume the reduction of our commitments,” Araghchi said, without elaborating.

On Saturday, French President Emmanuel Macron told his Iranian counterpart, Hassan Rouhani, in a phone call that he is trying to find a way by July 15 to resume the dialogue between Iran and Western partners. It wasn’t clear if July 15 carried any

importance. The U.S. has called for an emergency IAEA meeting for Wednesday to discuss Iran.

Kamalvandi stressed that Iran will continue to use only slower, first-generation IR-1 centrifuges to increase enrichment, as well as keep the number of centrifuges in use under the 5,060-limit set by the nuclear deal. Iran has the technical ability to build and operate advanced cen-trifuges that work faster but is barred from doing so under the deal.

“For the enrichment we are using the same machines with some more pressure and some special technical work,” he said. “So we don’t have an increase in the number of centrifuges for this purpose.”

But Kamalvandi stressed that Iran is able to continue enrichment “at any speed, any amount and any level.”

Enriched uranium at the 3.67% level is enough for peaceful pursuits but is far below weapons-grade levels of 90%.

The decision to ramp up uranium enrichment came less than a week after Iran acknowledged breaking the deal’s 300-kilogram (661-pound) limit on its low-enriched uranium stockpile. Experts warn higher enrich-ment and a growing stockpile narrow the one-year window Iran would need to have enough material for an atomic bomb, something Iran denies it wants but the deal prevented.

The steps taken so far by Iran show it is more interested in applying political pres-sure than moving toward a nuclear weapon, said Daryl G. Kimball, the executive direc-tor of the Washington-based Arms Control Association. He said Iran would need at least 1,050 kilograms (2,315 pounds) of low-enriched uranium to make the core of a single nuclear bomb, then would have to enrich it to 90%.

“Iran is not racing toward the bomb as some allege but these are calibrated moves,” Kimball told The Associated Press. However, “if Iran and the United States remain on the current course, the agree-ment is indeed in jeopardy.”

Netanyahu urged the international community to punish Iran for its decision.

“It is a very, very dan-gerous step,” he said. “I’m asking you, not to provoke but out of joint knowledge of history and what happens when aggressive totalitarian regimes can cross the thresh-old toward things that are very dangerous to us all. Take the steps that you promised. Enact the sanctions.”

However, Kimball cau-tioned against that.

“Iran is clearly not going to enter negotiations for a new deal if these sanctions are in place,” he said. “This a self-made, Trump admin-istration crisis because it has been taking drastic measures to dismantle the (deal) with-out a viable Plan B.”

Newsom cautioned after touring Ridgecrest that “it’s deceiving, earthquake damage. You don’t notice it at first.”

Newsom estimated more than $100 million in eco-nomic damage and said President Donald Trump called him to offer federal support in the rebuilding effort.

“He’s committed in the long haul, the long run, to help support the rebuilding efforts,” Newsom said of Trump.

Only 28,000 people live in the Ridgecrest area, which is sandwiched between more populated areas of Southern California and Las Vegas’ Clark County. Seismologists warned that the area could see up to 30,000 aftershocks over the next six months, though many of those will be too small for people to notice.

April Hamlin said she was “already on edge” when the second quake rattled her Ridgecrest home. She and her three kids initially thought it was another aftershock.

“But it just kept on inten-sifying,” Hamlin said. “The TV went over, hanging by the cord. We heard it break. We heard glass breakage in the other rooms, but all we could do was stay where we were until it stopped.”

With the possibility of aftershocks and tempera-tures forecast to reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) over the next several days, officials were taking precautions.

The California National Guard was sending 200 troops, logistical support and aircraft, Maj. Gen. David Baldwin said. The Pentagon had been notified, and the entire California Military Department was put on alert, he said.

Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake said in a Facebook post that nonessential work-ers were evacuated and operations halted. The epi-centers of both quakes were on the base, and officials said they are continuing to assess damage. Officials said most employees live off the base and in Ridgecrest, but they authorized the evacuation so those who live on base can be eligible for reimbursements.

The California Office of Emergency Services brought in cots, water and meals and set up cooling centers in the region, Director Mark Ghilarducci said.

State highway officials shut down a 30-mile (48-kilome-ter) section of State Route 178 between Ridgecrest and the town of Trona southwest of Death Valley because of a rockslide and severe cracking. The move left Trona temporarily cut off. California Department of Transportation spokes-woman Christine Knadler said crews worked through the night to patch the road-way, but it remained rough and uneven.

Ron Mikulaco, 51, and his nephew, 23-year-old Brad Fernandez, stood on 178 on Saturday looking at the cracks. The pair drove from Huntington Beach, about 170 miles (274 kilometers) south-west of Ridgecrest. Mikulaco, an amateur geologist, wanted to show his nephew “the power of Mother Nature,” and they had the epicenter’s latitude and longitude coor-dinates ready.

“We put that in the GPS, and we’ll get as close as we can,” Fernandez said.

In Ridgecrest, local fire and police officials said they were initially swamped by calls for medical and ambulance service. But police Chief Jed McLaughlin said there was “nothing but minor injuries such as cuts and bruises, by the grace of God.”

Two building fires — one involving a mobile home

— were quickly doused, McLaughlin said, and natu-ral gas lines where leaks were reported were shut off.

When asked to describe what he has been going through in the past two days, the chief said: “Grief, shock and then, for me, pride in what I’ve seen from here, my people. It’s been a vast range of emotions, and I think the whole community’s going through that.”

In Trona, a town of about 2,000 people considered the gateway to Death Valley, fire officials said up to 50 structures were damaged. San Bernardino County Supervisor Robert Lovingood said FEMA delivered a trac-tor-trailer full of bottled water because of damage to water lines. Newsom declared a state of emergency for the county.

Julia Doss, who maintains the Trona Neighborhood Watch page on Facebook, said the only food store in town is a Family Dollar store that was shuttered Saturday.

“The only way to get food is to drive to Ridgecrest, and with only three gas stations in town I’m worried we may soon run out of fuel,” Doss said.

Antoun Abdullatif, 59, owns liquor stores and other businesses in Ridgecrest and Trona.

“I would say 70% of my inventory is on the floor,

broken,” he said. “Every time you sweep and you put stuff in the dust bin, you’re putting $200 in the trash.”

But he has stopped clean-ing up, believing another earthquake is on the way.

Lucy Jones, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology and a former science adviser at the U.S. Geological Survey, said the new quake probably rup-tured along about 25 miles (40 kilometers) of fault line and was part of a continu-ing sequence. The seismic activity is unlikely to affect fault lines outside of the area, Jones said, noting that the gigantic San Andreas Fault is far away.

Egill Hauksson, another Caltech seismologist, said later in the day that scien-tists believe the continuing sequence could produce more than 30,000 quakes of magnitude 1 or greater over six months.

He said Saturday that the probability of a magnitude 7 over the next week was about 3%, with one or two mag-nitude 6 quakes expected. But as the weekend pro-gressed with no additional large quake, that probability dropped significantly. On Sunday morning the USGS forecast just a 1% chance of a magnitude 7 or higher in the next week, and a rising possibility of no magnitude 6 earthquakes.

L O S A N G E L E S —“Spider-Man: Far FromHome” is celebratinganother weekend at No.1, but non-franchise farecontinues to struggleat the box office. Freshstudio-released counter-programing such as thehorror movie “Crawl”and the action-comedy“Stuber” barely made adent in the web-slinger’searnings, although thereis a glimmer of hope in theindependent world.

I N S I D E R Q & A

Hotter Earth drives dollars to sustainable funds

This year is on pace to be one of the hottest on record, again, and the trend may only accelerate as President Donald Trump loosens poli-cies meant to combat climate change.

That has some investors feeling anger, but others are seeing dollar signs.

They’re envisioning profits made by companies target-ing opportunities wrought by the changing climate. Perhaps more importantly, investors are also seeing big, potential losses to be avoided.

Demand is continuing to grow for environmental, social and corporate-gov-ernance funds, often called “ESG” investments in the industry, says John Streur.

He is chief executive offi-cer of Calvert Research and Management, one of the largest families of respon-sibly invested mutual funds. The conversation has been edited for clarity and length.Q: ESG investing has been get-ting more popular for years, but was there any pickup spe-cifi cally because of Trump? Like after he announced the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement or last month’s announcement to help coal-fi red plants?

A: We certainly have had significant inflows in new business since Trump became president. There’s a secular, big trend occurring that’s favorable for ESG, but if the government were doing everything it possibly can from a regulatory, policy perspective, investors would be less likely to take special action. When the govern-ment is going backward on these issues, investors are much more likely to say, “We need to deal with this ourselves. We need to make sure they are managing these risks properly, because the regulatory framework is not as helpful as it could be.”Q: Is climate change the No. 1 thing on the mind of investors coming to Calvert?

A: It’s been the No. 1 issue for a period of time, and it’s attracting more attention and rigor.

So much information, aside from Trump, is becom-ing available about the risks to physical assets, plants, property, equipment, the risks to businesses in terms of just conducting their busi-ness during severe weather events, risks associated with wildfires.

Five years ago, people thought this was something that the next generation was going to deal with. Today, they realize this is some-thing we have to deal with right now.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Police outside Phoenix recently closed part of a street to conduct a lighting test as an investigation

continues into the 2018 death of a woman who was struck and killed by an Uber self-driving SUV.

The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office says prosecutors asked for

more investigation before making a decision about whether to charge backup driver Rafaela Vasquez who was supposed to take control in an emergency. Another prosecutor’s

office decided in March not to charge Uber.

The Tuesday night lighting test was con-ducted near the crash site in Tempe. The Arizona Republic reports one man drove a white Volvo XC90 like the vehicle that killed Elaine Herzberg who was crossing the street with her bicycle. It did not appear to have the sensors Uber uses on self-driving vehicles.

The investigation last year by Tempe Police determined the accident was “entirely avoidable,” but prosecutors wanted more information.

A m a n d a S t e e l e , a s p o k e s w o m a n f o r Montgomery’s office, said the tests were connected w i t h M o n t g o m e r y ’ s request.

“Once prosecutors receive a new submittal (from police), they will begin reviewing the case for a charging decision,” Steele said.

Montgomery said at a March news conference that his office wanted more data on the crash, which was recorded by cameras inside and out-side the Uber vehicle.

Prime Day, Amazon’s made-up annual shopping event, is upon us.

The two-day sale brings in billions of dollars for the company and has become one of its top-grossing events of the year. (The other: Cyber Monday.)

Here are five things to know about this year’s event, which begins at 3 a.m. Eastern time Monday.

1. What exactly isPrime Day?

Amazon created the shopping event five years ago as a way to drum up summer sales and boost membership for its $119-a-year Prime program. The company offers round-the-clock deals on everyday items, as well as exclusiveconcerts and gaming events for its members.

Like Black Friday, Prime Day has extended from a one-day sale into a days-long affair. This year’s event goes for 48 hours. The com-pany says the deals are a “surprise,” though analysts say they expect discounts on electronics, apparel and home goods. (Last year’s bestsellers included the

Instant Pot in the United States, laundry detergent in Mexico and Sonicare tooth-brushes in China.)

2. What’s new thisyear?

Prime Day, historically, has been an opportunity for Amazon to market its own products. Last year the company said it sold a record number of Fire TV devices, Kindle e-readers and Fire kids tablets.

This year, it’s going a step further by encouraging Prime members to shop at its Whole Foods grocery stores, where it offered “Prime Day” deals for an entire week, starting July 10.

Also new this year: A random assortment of celebrity-created products, including deodorant from Kobe Bryant, whey protein from Mark Wahlberg and children’s hoodies designed by Hilary Duff.

3. Workers areprotesting

The event has become a prime target for workers to air their grievances with the company. Amazon employ-ees at a fulfillment center in Shakopee, Minnesota, have announced plans to strike

for six hours on Monday to protest what they say are grueling working con-ditions and productivity quotas.

The company has come under fire in recent years for the way it treats its workers. Last year, nearly 1,800 Amazon workers in Spain went on strike on Prime Day, and thousands of workers in Germany walked off the job.

4. It’s not just Amazon— other retailers arealso advertising deals

Amazon calls Prime Day a “two-day parade of epic deals.” But for its competi-tors, Prime Day is a two-day battle to redirect some of the billions in sales away from Amazon.

Analysts say they expect a “halo effect” for some of the country’s largest chains, which are likely to benefit from the invented shopping holiday. Overall, major retail-ers could see as much as a 79 percent increase in revenue during the sale, according to Adobe Digital Insights.

Walmart - Amazon’s larg-est competitor - started a day early, with a four-day sale that began Sunday. Target and Ace Hardware are having two-day sales that coincide

with Amazon’s. Macy’s is promoting “Black Friday in July” with free shipping on all orders throughout the week-end, while Old Navy is having its own week-long sale.

Ebay, meanwhile, is having a “Crash Sale,” a not-so-subtle reference to last year’s Prime Day, when Amazon’s website went down for about 45 minutes. Ebay says it will offer “a fresh batch of too-good-to-be-true deals” if Amazon suffers another computer glitch this year.

5. Beware buyer’sremorse

Prime Day is all about impulse purchases. Amazon rolls out a steady stream of blink-and-you-miss-it deals to keep consumers coming back. New sales start as frequently as every five minutes, and many items sell out quickly. Amazon wants you to buy, and buy again.

But there are signs that buyer’s remorse may also be on the rise. Shoppers sent back 30 percent more Prime Day purchases last year than they did the year before, according to Adobe Digital Insights, “indicating that consumers are quick to buy items they don’t ulti-mately want.”

RALEIGH, N.C. — If you find yourself sipping a cold brew with a piece of water-melon in your hand this summer, you can thank the bees for making that snack possible.

Bees pollinate almost three-quarters of the 100 crop species that provide 90 percent of the world’s food supply, say advocates working on a campaign to protect bees from insecticides.

Last week, the grassroots group Environment North Carolina delivered a peti-tion with 13,452 signatures to Gov. Roy Cooper’s office, calling for a consumer ban on the sale and use of neonicotinoids (neonics) pesticides. Advocates gath-ered in downtown Raleigh, not far from regional head-quarters for Syngenta and other businesses like Bayer and Dow Chemical that manufacture neonics and say their products are safe when applied according to label directions.

Every winter for the past 12 years, about 30 percent of commercial honeybee hives in the United States have col-lapsed because of diseases, parasites, poor nutri-tion, pesticides and other issues, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Services has said.

While pesticides aren’t the only cause, they con-tribute to the problem, according to the depart-ment, which recommends gardeners use pesticides sparingly or not at all.

Drew Ball, state direc-tor of Environment North Carolina, believes ban-ning sales to consumers in the state would be a step in the right direction toward bigger bans.

M a r y l a n d a n d Connecticut have banned the sale of neonics to

consumers, said state Rep. Pricey Harrison. The European Union has banned neonics and Canada is phasing them out.

Harrison is one of the sponsors of House Bill 559, also known as the Pollinator Protection Act. The bill, whose primary sponsors also include Reps. Chuck McGrady, John Ager and Mitchell Setzer, stalled in committee this spring.

Concerns about agri-cultural pesticides are not new, said Hannah Burrack, professor of entomology at N.C. State University. People disagree because there are positive and negative effects, so it’s a trade-off, she said.

“The thing that gets glossed over in the discus-sions of banning neonics is that the pests themselves aren’t going to go away in these farming systems,” said Burrack, who is also an extension special-ist. “Something needs to

be done to manage them, and that something might become a more toxic pesti-cide if this one is removed. That needs to be a part of the conversation.”

A Google search can yield numerous alterna-tives to insecticides, like using fabric covers to keep pests off crops. The Natural Resource Conservation Service suggests people who do use insecticides should choose products with less harmful ingredi-ents and spray them on dry evenings after dark when bees are not active.

N e o n i c o t i n o i d s a r e classified as a “general pes-ticide” by the EPA, which means no training or licens-ing is required to use them.

Consumers, who may not know as much as farm-ers about the chemicals they are using, often over-apply neonics, at a time when non-farming regions have become increasingly impor-tant habitats for bees, said

Libba Rollins, Environment North Carolina’s campaign lead.

“Private citizens aren’t typically aware of the impact this has on pol-linator population,” Ball explained. “A lot of people are buying these over the counter without recogniz-ing the effect.”

Environment North Carolina is seeking a con-sumer ban because “bees are dying at record rates,” Ball said. “Beekeepers report losing an average of 30 percent of all honey-bee colonies each winter, roughly twice the loss considered sustainable. A recent study found that more than half of all (wild) bees are in decline, too.”

It is not clear if neon-ics are causing the decline in wild bees, Burrack said. “There is limited science available and it’s harder to research wild bees because they can’t be raised in cap-tivity,” she said.

However, fewer wildbees could affect crop pro-duction. North Carolina is fourth in pumpkin produc-tion, seventh in cantaloupe, apple and tomato produc-tion, eighth in squash and watermelon production and ninth in cabbage produc-tion, and all of these crops require pollinators, includ-ing wild bees, Rollins said.

Bayer, Dow, Monsantoand Syngenta are some of the biggest producers of neonics and say they should not be blocked or banned.

“Neonicotinoids arerigorously tested before going to market to ensure they can be used safely and effectively while allowing bees and other pollinators to thrive,” Syngenta said a statement to The News & Observer. “The weight of scientific evidence clearly shows that bees and other pollinators can coexist safely with neonicotinoid insecticides when product labels are followed.”

Would consumer pesticide ban aid dying bees?

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. — After the 2014 Elk River chemical spill in the Kanawha Valley, the West Virginia Rivers Coalition created the Safe Water WV initiative. The idea is simple: to strengthen a community’s connection to their drinking water and encourage them to work together to better protect it.

A couple years ago, Jefferson and Berkeley Counties decided to build off that initiative in a unique way — using the conservation of farmland and Civil War battlefields as a model for drinking water protection.

About two miles from the heart of Shepherdstown is the site of the bloodi-est battle in West Virginia during the American Civil War. More than 600 Union and Confederate soldiers died in a two-day battle in September 1862.

T h e B a t t l e o f Shepherdstown may have been small in comparison to other battles of the Civil War, but historians agree, the battle not only halted the Confederates’ northern invasion, but it also opened the door for President Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.

Since 2011, the site of the Battle of Shepherdstown has been a protected his-toric landmark. The battle site also happens to be at a unique location — along the Potomac River. The Potomac provides drinking water to Shepherdstown residents, and other nearby areas.

“ T h e L a n d m a r k s Commission owns about a half-mile of the Potomac River frontage,” Martin

Burke said.Burke is the chairman of

the Jefferson County Historic Landmarks Commission — the group responsible for protecting the site of the Battle of Shepherdstown.

“Controlling the runoff, planting trees, all helps improve water quality.”

That’s why his group, along with the Jefferson County Farmland Protection Board, the Berkeley County Farmland Protection Board, and the West Virginia Rivers Coalition decided two years ago to work together. They started an initiative called the Safe Water Conservation Collaborative in the Eastern Panhandle.

“We formed the Safe W a t e r C o n s e r v a t i o n Collaborative to bring together, for the very first time, water utilities, land conservation organizations, and watershed groups to take a collaborative approach to protecting drinking water using the conservation of land, and protecting land forever, to protect our drink-ing water sources,” Tanner Haid said.

Haid is the Eastern Panhandle Field Coordinator for the West Virginia Rivers Coalition.

The initiative focuses on using land conservation easements to protect drink-ing water. A conservation easement is a voluntary pri-vate or government contract with a landowner to protect land for ecological reasons — to improve water quality, maintain a historic site, or protect wildlife.

Haid said this approach makes drinking water pro-tections stronger, because land conservation easements help to prevent potential contamination threats or

development that could impact a source water intake.

In Jefferson County alone, there are more than 16,000 acres of battlefield land that have been identified, according to the Jefferson County Historic Landmarks Commission. Only 861 acres of that is currently protected.

Liz Wheeler is the Director of the Jefferson County Farmland Protection Board. Her organization adminis-ters conservation easements to protect historic farmland and battlefields in Jefferson County.

“When we protect land, we’re not just protecting cropland. We’re protecting woodland, we’re protecting streams, we’re protecting

historic resources, so it fits into what we do; to be able to contribute to source water protection,” Wheeler said.

But the Safe Water Conservation Collaborative in the Eastern Panhandle doesn’t come without its challenges. Finding enough money to protect the land can be the biggest challenge, but so can educating land-owners about their options if they qualify for a conser-vation easement or historic status.

Haid said, in the coming year, he and his team hope to identify and prioritize areas of land in the Eastern Panhandle not currently protected that are close to drinking water areas.

HONG KONG — Police in Hong Kong fired tear gas and rubber bullets repeatedly Sunday to drive back protesters blocking streets with road signs and umbrellas in another night of pitched battles in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.

It was the second night in a row that tear gas was used in escalating pro-democracy protests. The demonstrations began early last month to voice opposition to an extra-dition bill that has since been suspended, but the movement has grown to encompass a broader push for full democracy.

Protesters occupied two areas at opposite ends of central Hong Kong on Sunday following a mid-afternoon rally against police use of tear gas at a demonstration the previ-ous weekend.

On the western end of Hong Kong Island, one group blocked areas near the Chinese government’s liaison office and began to move forward as night fell. Police issued warnings, and protesters threw eggs at them. Officers fired tear gas to halt the advance.

Police then embarked on an hourslong effort to push the protesters eastward and get them to disperse.

In repeated standoffs, spontaneous but highly organized protesters set

up behind scaffolding thatthey built across a street.Police lined up behind clearshields about 30 meters(100 feet) down the road.Dozens of journalists inbright yellow vests stoodin between the two on thesidelines.

T h e p o l i c e w o u l da d v a n c e g r a d u a l l y ,firing bursts of tear gas.Protesters in hard hatsscurried about, rearrang-ing makeshift barriers ofpilfered road signs andother items. By the timethe police reached the scaf-folding, they had backedoff about 6 meters (20 feet).

Hong Kong has beenwracked by protests forseven weeks. Initially, theprotesters were demandingthe scrapping of a proposedextradition law that wouldsend suspects to mainlandChina to face trials.

The legislation is seenas a threat to Hong Kong’sfreedoms that were guar-anteed for 50 years whenChina took back control ofthe former British colonyin 1997.

The bill was eventuallysuspended, but the pro-testers then called for theresignation of the city’sleader and an investiga-tion into whether policehave used excessive forcein quelling the protests.

Underlying the move-ment is a push for fulldemocracy in the city,whose leader is chosen bya committee dominatedby a pro-Beijing establish-ment, rather than by directelections.

Joe Biden had just rolled out his health care plan when he made what could be a fateful pledge to a crowd in Iowa: “If you like your health care plan or your employer-based plan, you can keep it.”

The remark echoed assur-ances President Barack Obama made repeatedly as he sold the Affordable Care Act, which became known as “Obamcare.” But Obama’s promise proved an exaggeration, if not a false-hood, and it anchored early GOP attacks on the law as new regulations led private insurers to cancel certain policies, even if they had to offer replacements to consumers.

B i d e n ’ s p r o m i s e o n j o b - b a s e d c o v e r a g e , which almost 160 million Americans use, underscores the risks of positioning himself as the health over-haul’s chief defender. Fully embracing the health law and pledging to expand it also means exposing Biden to attacks from all sides: from the left that wants more than what Biden is offering; from the right that loathes the law in any form; and from the middle, where voters remain skeptical about the nation’s complex and expensive health care system.

“This is one of those issues where the pendulum has swung back-and-forth since ‘Obamacare’ passed,” D e m o c r a t i c p o l l s t e r Paul Maslin said, point-ing to health care’s role in Republican victories in 2010 and Democratic wins last November. “Right now we have the advantage,” Maslin said, “but I’d be a fool to say there’s no risk here.”

Indeed, the Republican National Committee has seized on Biden’s policy rollout. “Biden has to

deal with the fact that he would be the 2020 face of Barack Obama’s notori-ous lie that if you like your health care plan you can keep it,” said Steve Guest of the Republican National Committee.

Biden is at the center of a broader Democratic divide over the future of health care that will likely be an animating issue at this week’s primary debate in Detroit.

The former vice presi-dent is proposing to add a “public option” that would allow Americans to choose whether to buy government insurance or buy private policies. He also would boost existing subsidies that consumers use to buy poli-cies on the law’s exchanges. That would mark a signifi-cant expansion but still be a more incremental approach than Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” proposal, which would essentially replace the private market with gov-ernment insurance.

Biden’s campaign says his position reflects voters’ slow embrace of the 2010 law, while acknowledging voters’ concerns about the cost and consequences of a single-payer, government health insurance system

and their distrust of private insurers and the pharma-ceutical industry.

“I knew the Republicans would do everything in their power to repeal ‘Obamacare,’” Biden says in an online campaign ad. “They still are. But I’m surprised that so many Democrats are running on getting rid of it ... and if I’m elected president, I’m going to do everything in my power to protect it and build on it.”

An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll this spring found 57% of adults wanted the health law to remain; 42% percent said it should be kept, but with changes. Four out of 10 favored a rollback, but just half of those called for total repeal. Meanwhile, 53% favored adding a nonmandatory govern-ment insurance plan to the market; less than one-fifth opposed that course. That’s a more favorable split than on single-payer, which gar-nered 43% support and 31% opposition.

Which party ultimately wins on health care, Maslin and other Democrats argue, depends on who voters believe will better protect access to care, regardless

of the details. “People still don’t like the way the market works,” from rising premiums to spiking drug costs, Maslin noted, but they distrust a politi-cian “who might be taking something away.”

Republicans capital-ized in 2010, when voters saw Obama’s new law — adopted but not yet in place — as the threat and rewarded the GOP’s mantra of “repeal and replace.”

By 2018, after years of GOP failures to offer an alternative, voters had grown accustomed to key provisions, chiefly the guarantee of cover-age for those with existing health conditions and Medicaid expansion to cover the working poor and lower middle class. Last November, Democrats won a net 41-seat gain in the House and seven new gov-ernorships, many of the victories driven by sub-urban voters who’d seen a deluge of ads defending the law and hammering Republicans for attempts to gut it. Trump contin-ues to pursue repeal, and the administration backs a pending federal lawsuit to strike down the law in its entirety.

A few months into the new Congress, the AP-NORC poll found Democrats with a 17-point advantage, 40% to 23%, on the question of which party voters trusted more on health care.

“People may have different feelings about our different approaches, but they’re more popular than Trump’s repeal that would make the problem worse,” said Jesse Ferguson, a Democratic strategist who has worked on health care messaging in recent election cycles.

Added Maslin: “Part of me says we’d be better off with no plan, let Republicans continue to screw it all up. But that’s just not responsible.”
