The Lady Bulldogs won both the traditional (bench press and clean-and-jerk) and the Olympic (snatch and clean-and-jerk) disciplines on Friday night to clinch their 14th consecutive Orange Belt Conference girls’ weightlifting crown at Harmony High School With 142 combined points (76 in Olympic and 66 in Traditional) Cloud outdistanced host Harmony (second in both with 107 points) and Tohopekaliga (84 combined points) to clinch the OBC crown Gateway (12) and Poinciana (8) rounded out the team scoring “One of our stated goals is to win the county championship every year so I was really pleased we were able to do so despite having one of our top lifters fail to make weight,” St this is getting harder to do each year and that is a direct reflection on the great job Nick Lippert (Harmony) and Rob Weilert (Tohopekaliga) are doing with their programs They are both doing phenomenal work in helping grow our sport in Osceola County.” The results may be a direct preview of next week’s Class 3A District 9 championships that Harmony will also host on Jan With the exception of Gateway and Liberty (Class 2A the remaining six county schools will be back in competition at that district meet the four champions  in each weight class from districts 9-12 automatically qualifies for regionals; as well as 16-at large qualifiers from those same districts On the Olympic side from Friday’s OBC meet Cloud won the team title with 76 points as Haley Wright (101 weight class) and Reese Butler (199) all won their weight classes as the Lady Bulldogs won six of 10 classes overall Other class winners in the Olympic included Harmony’s Abriana Nunez (119) Morgan Pasqual (169) and Kaytlyn Simpson 9 (unlimited) Tohopekaliga’s Alexa Woodman captured the 139-lb consisting of the bench press and clean and jerk Jaylone Mejia (183) also took an individual title for the Bulldogs as they won the discipline with 66 points Harmony was second in the traditional with 57 points Woodman repeated at 139 and Rosimar Amurrio won at 129 as Tohopekaliga was third with 44 points Kianna Moran from Gateway (95-90-185 total pounds) took the traditional title at the 101-lb “We had some truly outstanding performances tonight especially considering one of our favorites in both disciplines failed to make weight,” Aun added “Those great performances included Haley Wright I was thrilled that my daughter Ashley won both titles and had a personal best in the snatch We have asked a lot of her and ever since she was a freshman moving her up and down in weight classes to help the team score points She has made a lot of sacrifices for her team and I am extremely proud of that fact.” Designed by Elegant Themes | Powered by WordPress Maria Magdalena Amurrio wakes up most days at four a.m. after which she quickly showers and is out by 6:30 to go to her real job — cleaning homes What she leaves behind is an enchanting and rather awesome neighborhood park moved to Lexington Avenue (between 100th and 101st) from Bolivia in 1989 She started planting seeds and pulling weeds even when the city considered forcing her to stop Maggie’s Magic Garden (now part of the city’s Green Thumb project) is coming up on 24 years of flourishing plants (Even beehives doing their thing.)

“This is the pride of the neighborhood!” exclaimed another frequent helper who came by to pick up some fresh mint for his meal that night The bees are buzzing and Maggie says the locals are eagerly awaiting the sweet result To call this place lush is no exaggeration all the more unusual because it is smack in the middle of a mixed bag of eateries and barbershops The restaurants are supporters of the garden sending over wine and foods for the special events Maggie occasionally hosts “I was born and raised here and that block looks completely different It’s a place for people to sit and for kids to experience nature.” Then there are the passers-by who stumble upon this unexpected explosion of greenery who live on 94th and were enroute to a pizza restaurant in the gradually gentrifying area They were given a tour of the garden by a volunteer and left behind a generous donation “It is a plant whose virtues have never been discovered This applies to Maggie’s vision for an abandoned

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the third stage here at Itzulia Basque Country The stage today is well underway with a three-man break of Jan Polanc and Cristián Rodríguez out front after 70km of racing The majority of the obstacles lie up ahead 3:40 between the breakaway and the peloton at the moment We'll have a report from that race up very shortly Meanwhile, we're also running live coverage of the men's race Check out who won Scheldeprijs Women here Jan Poland led the break over the intermediate sprint at Laudio just now.  The trio remain 3:50 clear of the peloton as the hills near The riders are taking on an unclassified climb following the intermediate sprint now They're around 20km from the first classified climb of the day at Opellora which measures in at 1.1km long with an average of 13.1 per cent Julian Alaphilippe sprints to stage 2 win at Itzulia Basque Country Jumbo-Visma among the teams controlling at the moment working for race leader Primož Roglič The time gap has fallen a little as the breakaway edges towards the climb of Opellora A look at the two classified climbs coming up shortly A look at the jersey holders at the start today 2:30 for the breakaway now as Ineos Grenadiers work on the front with Geraint Thomas Houle and Rodríguez start the brutal Opellora climb as news filters through of Mark Padun's abandon This climb is only 1km long but it's very tough with these gradients Ineos lead the peloton into the climb 2:10 down Ineos continue the push on the steep slopes Houle still has his breakmates in his sights as he races on a few seconds behind Sergio Higuita not doing well in the peloton Thomas leads the peloton over the top at 1:55 behind the break Houle is chasing the two leaders on the way down A look at the fight for position heading into that last climb 🤯 POSITIONIG IS KEY AT BASQUE ROADS🏆 GP @BancoSabadell #Itzulia pic.twitter.com/ZzEVioMSFgApril 6, 2022 Polanc and Rodríguez hit the climb of Ozeka now It's 3.6km long at an average of 7.4 per cent A large group off the rear of the peloton is not far away from getting back on The Ineos men at the head of the peloton grab gels and bottles from two soigneurs positioned at the start of Ozeka Ineos continue their work at the head of the peloton Polanc still chases with Ineos still leading the peloton over these rolling roads Houle is back in the peloton after being dropped from the break Almost 20km without any classified climbs now Polanc chases at around 15-20 seconds down More riders come back to the peloton as the pace dies down after those two climbs The gap goes up to three minutes in the valley The riders are basically taking the long way around back towards the Opellora and Ozeka climbs Four minutes for Rodríguez as the peloton rides spread across the road A large number of teams represented across the front Ineos back on the front with Thomas as they speed towards the tough Opellora climb again  A reminder of the two climbs to come – the same as the two we saw earlier with Thomas leading at three minutes down on the break though the break is now down to just one man Ozeka follows soon after before a hilly run to the line Rodríguez starts the steep slopes of Opellora for the second time Vlasov all up front among the Ineos riders Martínez at the head of the peloton and Pello Bilbao are up there among the front riders He's now a point away from holding the KOM lead 1:30 between Rodríguez and the peloton now as he starts Ozeka The Welshman has now pulled off to end his long stint of work Rodríguez is 1.8km from the top and needs two points there to clinch the KOM lead Geoghegan Hart pulls off and Yates gives it a go Alaphilippe leading behind Yates and Soler Evenepoel and Gaudu are detached from the lead group Dani Martínez ups the pace as he heads to the front of the group Rodríguez makes his way through a packed crowd to the top Another six points for him and the KOM lead Yates leads Vingegaard and Mas over the top Bilbao pushes on shortly after the start of the descent as the pace eased with Yates stopping his push Rigoberto Uran chases behind along with Steff Cras and Marc Soler The Uran group has made the catch at the rear and Sergio Higuita (both Bora-Hansgrohe) the main GC contenders that aren't in this group Evenepoel has another go but there's no way to make any separation on the way down into the valley level of co-operation in this lead group at the moment The next group on the road is reportedly a minute down A few riders putting in small moves here and there but nothing going Evenepoel makes another push but Vlasov shuts it down Another small hill to come – Lezama (0.5km at 9.8 per cent) is 5.5km from the line Numerous riders rolling through at the front of the group even if they're not exactly breaking their necks to push the group on in terms of pace Rodríguez drops off the rear of the group after his long spell in the break Bilbao pushes on up that climb as they hit the steeper slopes Evenepoel and Alaphilippe speak about the finish "Let's go before the corner" was snippet of what they said Final kilometre now and Evenpoel leads Alaphilippe at the front He goes head-to-head with Pello Bilbao in the closing metres The Basque rider just edged it at the line Bilbao celebrates after beating Alaphilippe to the line The Briton won't be penalised though as his puncture came inside the final 3km Check out our stage report here 😢 WE ARE NOT CRYING, YOU ARE CRYING!!!!ＴＸＡＰＥＬＤＵＮ @PelloBilbao1990 !!!!🥇 @TotalEnergiesES 📽️ @eitbkirolak

was spread a poster through social networks and giving the citizen the opportunity to tell him that he was willing to collaborate or that they needed,” explains Ruiz de Pinedo they began to exchange ideas between the different social networks of the neighborhood they opened a proposal: “Create a port-based surveillance network,” said Irati Barriocano The Batera Zaindu Gasteiz network was then made public The Vitoria-Gasteiz Transport Network began to weave before the state of emergency was declared Romero says they were surprised by the answer: within 48 hours of being made public Batera had 1,500 members and quickly decentralized the networks have been set up in five municipalities in the region: Llodio “The goal was to organize itself into a giant auzolan,” Lezama said All these initiatives began to be presented through social networks proposing adherence to the network to support and collect neighbors They soon jumped out of the digital world to the physical portals They prioritize receiving protection from the closest possible because it is the most effective way to channel aid the safest from a health point of view and the most powerful way to community The Vitoria-Gasteiz network has prepared a home delivery note to enter below the city’s gates This is a way of ensuring that messages reach the neighbours who are not in a position to go to the portal In the Casco Viejo de Vitoria-Gasteiz a virtual map has been created with all the neighbors and neighbors who have pointed to the network: portal by portal who is willing or not to receive help A database has been created in Aiaraldea detailing the name of each member the place of residence and the state of the person All networks have also completed protocols of assistance and safe delivery The influence of feminism is evident and structural in the messages of the networks in the values that are claimed or in the choice of the lines in which they work which often repeats the need to put life at the center "The priority is to bring lives to the center you have to think about how you can collectively sustain life In this situation we have to put on the table the need and recognition of the surveillance work" In the Casco Viejo the diversity has been greater but in general the young have been the drivers of the initiatives Those who have previously exercised some kind of militancy they've been joined by a lot of people in general In Salvatierra/Agurain there are about 40 people in the whole of Vitoria-Gasteiz around 2,300 and in the Casco Viejo 300 The profile of the members is therefore very varied This diversity is lived as a treasure: popular construction is reaching beyond the usual areas and there is a desire not to lose it sometimes it becomes difficult to talk to people who have no habit of organizing there are people who associate themselves out of curiosity or simply to be informed and there are people who do not understand or respect the function of the WathsApp groups and the established rules – personal comments come political messages of agents… In Bateran the administrators of the groups have a message model to repeatedly read them they decided to turn the group into a channel which allowed the messages only to be transmitted by the administrators What are citizens doing by helping each other through surveillance networks Lezama and Ruiz de Pinedo highlight the purchases Barriocanal refers to the bedrooms that are held in the health center of the city the citizens have implemented other more general aids through the social networks of the following initiatives: cultural actions to better pass the confinement or telephone numbers for people needing to speak Aiaraldea Zainduz is contacting the small producers who sold their products on the Llodio market to think about how they can help when the market has been cancelled Having access to the Internet has become a necessity to be able to be communicated or to be students in the new educational model But not every citizen has access to the Internet the consequences of the digital divide have been unraveled of all time The Laudio surveillance network has sent a message to the public to open the wifi of their home and is about to broadcast a video The children of the Old Town of Vitoria-Gasteiz have made the same request to the neighbors: the surveillance networks have created their own material to help citizens or to propose how to collaborate on many occasions of high quality: written protocols of help or help clarifications on the measures that have been taken by governments short videos of professionals to avoid contagion or bring the lockdown as best as possible psychologically protocol against macho aggressions on the initiative's own social networks but has recommended to the network of volunteers organised by the Basque Government that "if something needs" slow and caring institutional framework that has denied any responsibility What should be the relationship between surveillance networks and institutions Should we try to ensure that citizens' networks meet all the needs of citizens does it have to have its role to demand from the institutions Should we create spaces for collaboration and/or coordination “We know what needs we can meet among ourselves and what the responsibilities of the institutions are We are not going to do the jobs that have to be paid so we are working with the institutions to also control which ones they don’t do and denounce,” says Barriocano “The Basque Government cannot delegate basic care tasks to volunteers alone We want to make it clear that we have no will to represent anyone’s work we believe that what we are doing is the responsibility of public services What public employees paid with a living wage should do” 🎞️ Here is the video and the reading we have made in the face of the refusal of the principal public institution of Gasteiz. We are clear, we will continue to work, we will continue to care for the community! Watch each other, #Batera 🌱https://t.co/W2jNIW6xRt The types of aid being processed from surveillance networks have already been listed But all our partners have pointed to the same weak point: there are many citizens who have been put to work there are few requests for help that have come the most repeated are the difficulties we have to show the vulnerability Everyone thinks that we have more facility to offer help than to ask for it Asking makes us see weakness in a situation in which we have great resistance because neoliberalism has split in each of us and once responsibilities have been individualized the need for help has a stain of personal failure “We have a hard time recognizing that we are vulnerable The system wants us to believe that we don’t need anyone else to survive,” says Romero This dimension of vulnerability is probably confused with simple shame or reluctance especially if we have to ask for it from someone we do not know personally Arantza Basagoiti is a member of the Casco Viejo network in the capital of Alavesa He has formed a group together with other members In the Old Town there are many neighbors alone the group has offered to neighbors who need to speak "no more" with the necessary frequency and with the idea of always speaking with the same person No one approached them in the first two weeks “It’s very difficult to reach a person who has that need if in general you have plenty of sun,” Basagoiti said Despite maturity there is the problem mentioned above: “It’s very difficult for him to be vulnerable.” Basagoiti knows very well what this is about He lives in a wheelchair and has experienced this conflict in his skin: “The stereotype I transmit is that of the person who needs help Another reason for the low demand for assistance is that these networks of access to unprotected and excluded people seem to be the current limits of these networks but we will address it in the next subsection all these difficulties have not surprised the members of the networks in general These tendencies and weaknesses understand that being transformed step by step is one of the struggles of these networks The imbalance between supply and demand remains significant although over the previous three weeks aid applications have gradually increased The positive reasons also explain the inadequacy of aid applications networks have prioritized the organization and dimension of the portal by portal once communication has been generated between the portal's neighbors and mutual assistance has been practiced this reality is outside the management of the network and knowledge the size of the needs that are being covered or channelled through networks cannot be known this collaboration from portal to portal has already been activated by many citizens before formal surveillance networks although they are increasingly solitary and increasingly individualized relationships networks of relationships with minimal community sense are maintained on a daily basis From these more invisible informal networks without the need to create a specific structure the shops of Salvatierra/Agurain have been organized on their own to bring the shopping to their neighbors or the small supermarket of the Casco Viejo de Vitoria-Gasteiz does the same with the neighbors This is of great value and must be taken into account when analysing reality we would have a narrow and narrow picture of mutual care and community practices that if in some small towns a formal care network has not been created it is because of the lack of community sense of citizenship and the same explanation has been given to each of its inhabitants: the neighbours know the needs that already exist or the situations of certain people and respond to their needs without creating their own structure the networks emerge from the collaboration between the city council and the citizenry It seems that size has to do with this – in addition to the sensitivity of political representatives and their parties – It is often said that City Councils are the institutions closest to citizenship but the quantity and quality of the relationship between citizenship and the City Hall in a small town or in a city is not the same the town hall and the neighbours work hand in hand in the surveillance network The networks have also been created in the two main towns of Treviño La Puebla de La Puebla de Arganzón and Treviño the city council and 50% the neighbors and neighbors,” explains Algiers Ibon Txopitea New dynamic that is underway in the village of Amurrio: 👉 Help for collecting school tasks 👉 Child care 👉 Telephone support 👉 Self-care criteria Together we will achieve it! Let us take care! 🌱 Only the people can save the people! pic.twitter.com/G46wUoXQNP Asked about the limitations of solidarity networks to reach the most disadvantaged people and sectors They say that there is concern in their networks about this lack the elderly or migrants who do not have a social In Salvatierra and Llodio they came to the conclusion that communicating through the social networks and the usual channels of the promoters was not the best way to make the way with the most vulnerable using our regular channels of communication we have reached people who usually do not arrive,” says Lezama Iñaki Luzuriaga is a street educator in the Casco Viejo de Vitoria-Gasteiz but she is participating as a neighbor and militant of the surveillance network of the area He says that injustices and differences are reproduced and deepened during confinement: “To those of us who have legal status labor resources and resources give us criteria that protect us but what is excluded is completely disconnected it always has to lose.” In the Casco Viejo the situations of poverty and exclusion are higher than in the rest of the neighborhoods of Vitoria-Gasteiz but the situations described are occurring in many places: “Many people in poverty do not have their house rented This means that today he is isolated from the information from the school [that is why neighbors are asked to leave the wifi open] they almost catch the wifi of a bar or society.” In many of these houses children do not have a single game and are used to spending many hours on the street without the necessary equipment to perform school tasks games or paintings have been brought to different homes: “At this time a parcheesy or a goose can be a contribution of Christ in a house We have also distributed posters and paintings to paint from the inside meets other needs: “The real need was the relationship 👐 Hand to hand, sign to sign... Be careful right now at the front line! 🖖 Let us also take care of ourselves through sign language! 🌱 To care for each other, #Cuidemos Together 🤗 pic.twitter.com/Q8eKbKRDml The network of the Casco Viejo de Vitoria-Gasteiz seems to be closer to the situation and to the knowledge of the most vulnerable people and their presence in the surveillance network “We’ve created our network of mutual care around what we’ve created in everyday life,” says Barriocano That day by day it consists of many networks in some of them people from different socioeconomic situations are mixed and there is work from years ago: parents of the school They are intertwined with each other at the same time among them and with other movements: Gasteiz Txiki Auzo Elkartea “In Laudio and Amurrio there was an indefinite strike and in the context of the general strike a close relationship emerged in the strike committees.” It is a precarious and feminized working space they have contacted the network to help them with their shopping to reduce the risk of contamination.” Reaching out to the most disadvantaged sectors is not something that can be achieved overnight In daily life we socialize according to the groups that share more or less socioeconomic level in layers that hardly touch or intersect with each other The members of the organized militant sectors are not the most disadvantaged sectors in our country and these networks of clear relations are also reproduced there The composition greatly influences and limits the agendas responsibilities or sensitivities of each movement It is true that in recent years there has been a growing number of reflections on these shortcomings and have increased the need and possibilities of these alliances and mixtures Barriocano has raised the concern shared by several members of the social network over the past few days It believes that the aid is being raised in an excessively dichotomous way: giving or receiving it is considered a distortion of reality: “We can all give and receive help in one way or another and in some moments we will have more to give "we all have the need to be cared for at some point in our lives and also the responsibility to take care of them" he believes that he can involuntarily feed paternalistic or assistential logics: Members of the network "able to help" are those who protect "vulnerable people who need help." Tools to address times from communitarianism Citizen surveillance networks in Álava – and throughout the Basque Country – have been created to respond to the care needs that have generated or increased confinements and emergency situations These needs will be accentuated as the confinement situation continues “Some of us are in more comfortable homes and situations Fears and communication needs will be deepened the best and the worst of us will come out People will try to meet those needs through formal and informal networks,” says Basagoiti The authorities will try to reload the consequences of the crisis on the backs of the citizens Our partners see the experience of surveillance networks as a network or any other way of responding to this scenario Confinement is a very appropriate context to make visible the need of the community and develop sensitivity But it sets unsurpassed limits for structuring and giving solidity to the community – horizontally interacting and building the basis of participation says the system will take advantage of the coronavirus crisis to rebalance itself it believes that surveillance networks or the transformative social economy have an opportunity “We’re talking more than ever among neighbors as you see that whoever’s willing to help you is not in which office I think that will leave a beautiful base,” says Barriocanal from the Old Town of Vitoria-Gasteiz; “I think we will learn from this The initiative departed from the Gazte Asanblada but other people have met I believe that once the COVID-19 crisis has passed the network can be maintained in another way” Ruiz de Pinedo from Salvatierra; “that’s what we haven’t talked about and I don’t think the network will be maintained as it is but we will be served by new links and bridges that are emerging” Lezama from Aiaraldea; “maybe in the future we will leave a different shape The Union will have a lot to say and do” of the network of Vitoria Romero Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon We help you navigate a myriad of possibilities Sign up for our newsletter for the best of the city By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news Sign up for our email to enjoy your city without spending a thing (as well as some options when you’re feeling flush) Our newsletter hand-delivers the best bits to your inbox Sign up to unlock our digital magazines and also receive the latest news By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news, events, offers and partner promotions. Madrid it doesn’t take long for a new place to become a hotspot That’s certainly the case with Arima which—after just a month of business—had firmly cemented its place on the neighborhood’s map this Basque tavern is simple but never boring It draws on classic recipes but consistently seeks to draw hip clientele the kind of people who like the ritual of vermouth just as much as a fun cocktail This bar surely manages to capture the soul (‘arima’ in Basque) of both past and present Arima is a must-stop on any vermouth fan's route They've got some 30 varieties selected from around the country – from Tarragona to Coruña and Amurrio to Castellón – and they serve your choice in an elegant glass (with an olive and a bit of orange) Try a vermouth ‘slushy’ for a real treat when the weather heats up Vermouth traditionally goes down best with snacks and the ubiquitous 'gilda' (usually an olive a chili pepper and an anchovy stuck through with a toothpick) opens the door to a showcase of 'pintxos' using remarkably fresh ingredients that recall the best tradition from San Sebastián (where Arima's owner is from) standouts include the bonito with mayonnaise and anchovy the Beasain 'morcilla' blood sausage (a must) It's a splendid spot to stop for a pre-lunch vermouth and snack any day of the week but we recommend snagging a seat in the late afternoon when it’s a bit less crowded They save the heavy-hitters on the menu to serve in the six-table dining room; here you can order seasonal creations and specials that aren't on the printed menu You might find Iberian pork jowls with baby fava beans Thanks for subscribing!
