Last week a group of us met outside the Parks Administration buildings to share in the 2nd annual Memorial Garden planting and remembrance ceremony. We at the Ward 6 office are grateful to our Parks workers, Tucson Clean & Beautiful, and Parks staff for continuing this event. I’m thankful for being invited and for having been given the opportunity to share some thoughts with the group.
The first time we held the gathering was pre-COVID. We jointly celebrated the lives of those we had lost in the previous year. For me, it was my mom. This year there were sadly many more. I’m opening with this list honoring the lives of loved ones we’ll miss and cherish.
Mark Guerrero, Carol Monka, Sam Camacho, Josephine Montoya, Steven Fimbres, Pat & Lisa Sommer, ‘Abe’ Overstreet, Eddie Moreno, David Redlin, Angelina Leyvas, Clark Kerr, Yvonne Coronado, Gabriel Coronado, Pat & Eileen Hayes, Julio Escobar, Jim & Carolyn Fearon, Leobardo Rodriguez, Manuel ‘Manny’ Herrera, Jr., Rita Shultz, Bonnie Renfrow, and Gregory Fisher.
The group took part in planting more trees and shrubs – all native and drought tolerant. The garden will be a forever place of refuge and memories for all who honored their loved ones with the work. Stop by and spend some time reflecting on your own personal loss. It’s a place of serenity that’ll be around and growing forever.

Restaurant Revitalization Fund
Beginning today, the Small Business Administration (SBA) began taking applications for a federal restaurant-centric direct relief opportunity. This is a part of the recently passed American Rescue Plan. The online applications will remain open until all $28.6B have been distributed.
Throughout the course of the pandemic, I’ve worked with the county, The Drive radio station, and through our own CARES allocations to help support the restaurant industry in Tucson. Now, this fund is available to help keep this key industry up and running. The SBA has rightly given focus to the food and beverage industry, and the Restaurant Revitalization Fund is a great relief opportunity.
I was gratified to read that they’re committed to ensuring small and largely underserved businesses will be the beneficiaries of this fund. The support is intended to help replace revenue losses up to $10M per business. The funds must be used for allowable expenses by March 11th, 2023.
The SBA will also host a series of training webinars related to this fund. Use these links to sign up for one of them:
For the first 21 days, the SBA is giving priority in funding to businesses owned by women, veterans, and socially/economically disadvantaged people. After the first 3 weeks, eligible applicants will be funded on a first-come, first-served basis as long as the funds last. They’ve got caps on the program funding levels based on gross receipt categories. If you’d like more information on the program, use this link for English sba.gov/restaurants or this one for Spanish sba.gov/restaurantes.
Food Share
Tucson Food Share is moving its operation. I’ve written about them before and want you to be aware of the change.
Food Share is our local ‘mutual aid’ group, made up of some of our wonderful residents who are providing this service during this very important time of need. Just show up – no need to provide any documents, no pay, no proof of income. This is truly an honor system-based way of taking care of people.
The new location is 2500 N. Stone. They’ll be distributing food on Mondays and Thursdays from 6 pm until 8 pm, and on Saturday mornings from 8 until 10. If you’d like to volunteer, donate, or request delivery of some food, use their website or call at 222.9242. For Spanish speakers, give them a call at 253.3130.
Zoo Expansion
This 3-minute video was funded by zoo donors. It shows the planned Pathways to Asia project that is right now on hold.
After the 45-day contract suspension related to the zoo expansion, M&C are scheduled to make a decision tomorrow. Or, they could decide to keep studying options. My position has been clear from the start. Simply do what we said we’d do and replace some of the lost space with a new natural resource area north of the remaining pond.
Option A is no zoo expansion. Option B in the survey is to continue with the project as planned. Option C is to continue with the project and add the natural resource space. Option D is to use the natural resource space for the zoo expansion, and Option G is to move the whole expansion over into the current parking lot. The city conducted a survey, and the raw data shows options B and C as the most popular. Here are a couple of charts with those results. First, the number of people who “strongly favor” each respective option:
|
 |
And here’s how that looks when we add in the “somewhat favor” group. In each case, the ranking stays the same. The message – do what you said you’d do.
Each of those options comes at a cost. We’re spending your money, so that should matter. This chart shows the cost estimates presented by staff. I don’t believe any of them accurately take cost escalation into account for options D, and G. D will cause at least an additional year delay, and G will take at least another 3 years.
The reason Option A has a cost is that the contractors have ongoing costs that accumulate during this suspension period. So even the delay and either canceling the whole project or doing what we said we’d do originally will not be free of cost to the taxpayer.
Finally, this small chart brings all of that together:
I support the preservation of open space. I also support finding ways to accommodate the many competing uses for our open space that we’ve asked you to support with either sales tax (the zoo) or property tax (parks.) Those uses include pools, splash pads, sports fields and courts, pickleball, tennis, dog parks, the zoo – Tucson Delivers – unless we change our minds. And all of those uses have constituencies – and all of those uses take up open space. It’s a balance. Public policy is both/and not either-or. We’ll see what the M&C has to say tomorrow. And by way of reminder, this is the Option C natural resource area I’ve supported since prior to the suspension. I still do.
Vaccine Update
Last week there was some CDC-driven loosening in the mask-wearing guidance. It’s directly tied to vaccinations, so I’ll include it here.
Per the CDC, people who are fully vaccinated against COVID do not need to wear a mask outdoors while they’re just out walking, running, hiking, or biking alone. Or when they’re gathered in small groups, including with members of their own household. It was not a wholesale removal of the mask recommendation. They are still necessary for large crowded outdoor venues such as sports stadiums.
One of the reasons they eased the mask standards is to counteract some of the vaccine hesitancy that’s still out there. The reasoning is that if getting vaccinated won’t make it, so life is as it was pre-COVID, they why bother? The ‘why bother’ is to protect yourself against severe and possibly fatal effects of contracting COVID, either 19 or one of the variants. If that sounds hyped, consider what is right now happening in India. Or in Michigan. And vaccinating is one way of getting us to the herd immunity levels we’re chasing to corral community spread of the disease. Please use the links I’ve got below and get vaccinated – fully.
The list of colleges and universities that have announced mandatory vaccinations for students returning for in-person classes this fall is now up over 100. The UA is still on the fence. Many of the colleges that have announced the requirement are private or for-profit. But not nearly all of them are. The University of Michigan is huge. They’re requiring vaccinations. The entire UCal system is requiring them. So are Stanford, U Mass-Amherst, the entire University system in Maryland, Oakland U, Rutgers, Ft. Lewis College, Montclair St, Morgan St, NYU, and Cleveland State. We heard claims of mandatory testing being ‘unconstitutional’ from the UA administration. That was not true. Neither is it true that vaccinations have legal challenges. Before the UA invites thousands of students back for the fall, they should implement a mandatory vaccination program. We don’t want a repeat of last fall.
If Robbins isn’t concerned with the residents of the community, he should at least have some concern for the health care workers who take the brunt of the impact. We’ll see how long it takes the UA to come to this decision.
We also have some scheduled FEMA mobile vaccination sites. Please use this list to find one near to you. The folks at the Pima County health department are doing their best to make this as convenient for you as possible.

According to the Bloomberg tracker, in Arizona, we went from just over 34% of the population covered to just over 35% in the past week. Vaccinations are slowing down, which is not a good thing. Here’s their data on the right.
COVID rates have flattened in 9 states where they’ve exceeded 40% fully vaccinated. Things are progressing slowly.
And as always, if you have trouble registering through the links I gave up above, call either 324.6400 or 222.0119, and they’ll give you a hand.
COVID Uptick - WHO Data
Internationally we’ve had over 150,000,000 confirmed COVID cases, and over 3 million people have died from it. Those are likely understated data. Here’s our national risk level map. The little green (safe) area is the North Mariana Islands. They might not be taking visitors these days.
|
 This is the risk assessment and other data for the Phoenix and Tucson/Pima County areas:
We’re doing better than Phoenix, but our vulnerability level is still listed as ‘very high’.
In Pima County, our numbers improved last week – from 9.9 per 100,000 to 6.6. But look at our neighbors in Pinal County to the north. They’re up at 13 cases per 100,000. The virus travels. We cannot think it will respect county boundaries.
Below is this week’s addition to the infection data I’ve been tracking for Pima County. It went down, but our testing rate is so low that perhaps the better statistic is percent positivity. That’s still in the 8.5% range.
March 29th - April 4th - 688
April 5th - April 11th - 629
April 12th - April 18th - 520
April 19th - April 25th - 651
April 26th - May 2nd - 459
And the community spread data is still over 1.0 statewide, but we’re trending down again in our region.
|
 |
We don’t know right now what’s happening with the spread of the variant strains. The CDC stopped reporting new variant cases on April 12th. They have not resumed. Everything I read, though, says the U.K. strain is now emerging as the most prevalent strain. It’s more easily spread and seems to be more dangerous than COVID-19. Even though we don’t know the number, we know it’s a big reason it’s still critical to getting vaccinated.
I’ll keep watching the CDC site to see if they resume reporting on the variants. This is the site I’m tracking. If you’ve got one that shows current counts, please share it with me.
Global Health Work
I’ve written plenty on the topic of the disparate distribution of health care internationally. COVID vaccinations are just one example. From my travels in both Africa and Sri Lanka, I saw firsthand how poverty is exacerbated by inadequate health care. In Zambia, we saw rural families having to walk 5 kilometers to get to a health clinic, only to find there were no medications available. In Sri Lanka, I was involved in an accident that put me into one of their ER’s for some quick treatment. It was nearly open-air, and the treatment tables were dirty. And I was grateful for the care they delivered.
Last week Kaimas Foundation awarded the UA Office of Global Health Programs a $25,000 grant that’ll be used to send students to both domestic and international destinations. The explicit purpose of the program is to benefit underserved populations and to gain education and training in the process. The money will help students fund their travel and living expenses while out doing the work.
Thanks to Kaimas for their very generous donation. This will be the first time the UA College of Medicine/Tucson has been able to help fund global health training. From my overseas experiences, I can safely say that each student the Kaimas funds help will come back having had life-changing experiences. And they’ll be touching the lives of people who simply need assistance.
ByFusion
The graphic below shows how simple a process ByFusion is – and tomorrow, Mayor Romero and I are asking the council to join in giving direction to staff to get the ball rolling for a plastic recycle/reuse operation out at the material recycling facility (MRF.)
The system uses only steam and compression. You heat up the shredded plastic and drop it onto a part of the machine that forms it into a block. The result is a construction-grade block, about 15”x8” with nubs on the top, just like a Lego. They stack and are bound together with rebar, not concrete. This is a picture of the one I have at the office. You can see the stacking nubs at the top. The coloration is the shredded plastic that was used to form the block.
My hope is this is the first of thousands of these blocks we’ll be producing and will be putting to good use by self-performing this aspect of our internal construction projects.
We’re going to be building new restrooms in some of our parks, remodeling police and fire stations, and lots of other work on city-owned buildings. And it’d be great to see local contractors joining us with this environmentally sensitive solution to building materials. The upfront cost for the size machine I’m after is about $1.4M. It’d pay for itself in no time, and it’s totally consistent with the climate action work the mayor is spearheading.
Lately, we’ve heard the term win-win a lot. This really does fit that phrase.
Catalytic Converter Theft
If you crawl under your car and look at the exhaust pipe, if your car is even relatively new, you’ll find one of these gizmos. The real name is a catalytic converter.
Catalytic converters (cats) are designed to cut down on the harmful emissions coming from your car’s engine. Inside of each cat are metals from the platinum group of metals (PGM). They’re platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Ok, so unless you’re thinking of becoming an auto mechanic, why should you care?
These days platinum is going for about $31 per ounce. Palladium is selling for around $72 per ounce, and Rhodium is selling on the legitimate market for $287 per ounce. If you’re driving a car, light truck, or a motorcycle, your cat may contain from 2-6 grams of PGMs. Larger engine SUVs can contain from 6-30 grams. Do you see where this is headed? Thieves are targeting cats because of the precious metals they contain. Scrap metal dealers are paying up to $200 for a catalytic converter. And they’re able to resell them for a nice profit.
Just as was the case a few years ago when the Metropolitan Pima Alliance teamed with TPD and metal dealers to get our arms around the theft of copper, now we need to do the same with PMGs. According to state law, it is already illegal for a metal dealer to buy a catalytic converter from somebody who just wanders in with one or some. Here’s the statute:
44-1642.01. Prohibited scrap metal transactions; exceptions; violation; classification
A. A scrap metal dealer shall not knowingly purchase the following types of scrap metal:
8. Catalytic converters. For the purposes of this paragraph, " catalytic converters" means motor vehicle exhaust system parts that are used for controlling the exhaust emissions from motor vehicles and that contain a catalyst metal.
Local auto dealers are losing cats on a regular basis. Auto mechanics are replacing them, and car owners are paying big dollars. So who’s most vulnerable. I did some research with insurance providers, and they say Honda Jazz, Toyota Prius, Toyota Auris, and Lexus RX are the current likely targets.
You can drive your car without a cat, but you’ll know from the large whooshing sound when you press the gas pedal that it’s missing. You can protect yourself by having your mechanic install a converter clamp – it's cheap insurance.
According to state law, if you’re a scrap metal dealer and you purchase catalytic converters, you’re guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. Evidently, for some local metal yards, that’s not stringent enough. Locally we cannot pass laws that are more strict than state statutes, so upping the ante is up to the state legislature.
I’ve put this on TPD’s radar screen. If you’re a scrap metal dealer who is buying a pile of catalytic converters from guys who wander in with them, you need to become a part of the solution.
More to come in this. Thanks to Jerry from Grant Road Auto Repair for bringing this to my attention. They do great work – give ‘em a try. Tucson Blvd and Grant.
PFAS Update
Last week Governor Ducey sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin related to PFAS. That’s the water contaminant we’re investigating with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and DM representatives. We know we have a plume in our groundwater out by the base, and we know it got there due to the way they were disposing of fire fighting foam that contained PFAS chemicals.
The Ducey letter included 5 ‘asks.’ The letter does not include a demand that the DOD get their checkbook out and pay for the testing we’re doing and build us treatment facilities. Here’s what Ducey asked the DOD to do:
That’s all nice, but nothing in that list even remotely puts a bow on this mess and gets us treatment facilities for the PFAS that’s out by DM. And it’s noteworthy that Ducey fails to mention the Arizona National Guard-created contaminants over by Tucson International Airport. That’s even more significant than what we’re addressing by DM.
I’m grateful to the ADEQ for their work with us. They have put $3.3M on the table to help fund the testing work that’s now going on. We’re told they expect to have one treatment unit up by mid-next year. That will not be anywhere close to taking care of the issue, but it’s a start. And ADEQ is the only agency that has offered any financial help on this issue to date.
The 3M litigation is continuing. Congress is still talking about PFAS legislation. And our plume continues to be untreated. This is of major concern to me because we’re also now seeing more and more in the news about Lake Mead and shortages on the Colorado River. Reducing our allotment of CAP water is only a question of when, not if. And that increases the importance of ensuring our groundwater is pure for the day we have to begin serving it to customers.
It’s nice Ducey finally recognizes this as an issue. It’s also curious that he waited until the Biden administration was in place before sending his letter. We’ve known of the problem for years. The governor doesn’t need to make it into a partisan issue. Let’s just fix it.
Tucson Household Hazardous Waste
Every second Saturday of the month, Environmental Services hosts a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection event. They’ve been holding them out at the Thomas Price Service Center. On May 8th, the event will move over to the Tucson Rodeo Grounds. It will still be held from 8 am until noon. And in order to make the opportunities more widely accessible, the locations will change from month to month.
The HHW collection events are your chance to offload electronic waste, auto fluids, lawn and garden supplies, solvents – the sort of thing we don’t want you dumping down the sewer system, but also that give you a second thought when you head for the trash bin with them. You can find a full list of what’s included in the HHW program at this link: the list
On June 12th, the event will move over to Hi Corbett, and on July 10th, out to the Eastside Service Center. You can print the full schedule here - Print the schedule here.
And please remember that you can drop off HHW at the Los Reales landfill – 5300 E. Los Reales Road – on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 am until 4 pm.
Supreme Court and the 2nd Amendment
In the state of New York, they’ve got a law that says if you’re going to seek a license to carry a weapon outside of your home, you must show proper cause. The law has been on their books for years. It completely bans ‘open carry,’ and the ‘show cause’ part of the law is for people trying to get a license for a concealed carry permit. A lawsuit was filed against it by the N.Y. Rifle and Pistol Association. The Trump Supreme Court announced last week that they’ll hear the challenge.
This is considered by ‘Court watchers’ to be a big deal. The NY law is over a century old. It has formed the basis for gun laws in states across the country. Similar laws exist in California, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. They’re all in jeopardy with the Court taking the NY case.
In responding to notice of the lawsuit, NY Governor Cuomo said, “the streets of New York are not the OK Corral, and the NRA’s dream of a society where everyone is terrified of each other and armed to the teeth is abhorrent to our values.” And he recognizes that the current Court leans pro-gun.
While this is going on, the Biden administration is taking some small steps towards stronger gun control laws. Ghost guns are weapons that are assembled from kits, so they can’t be traced. Biden wants the components of the kits to have serial numbers so they can be traced through background checks. Predictably, that’s getting pushback from congress.
|
In Arizona, we have the real OK Corral. And we have a state legislature and governor who have just passed and signed a bill saying we’re exempt from federal gun laws. This is the same legislative body that just sued us for how we conduct our local elections. They don’t want to be subject to federal control, but telling us how to do our business is evidently within their right. Oh, we won our elections case.
On May 18th, I’ve got a study session item in which I will be asking the M&C to adopt an ordinance or resolution saying that in the City of Tucson, we will recognize and enforce federal gun laws. In response to recent shootings in the Tucson area, Chief Magnus cited ‘too many guns’ as being at the root of the problem. And let’s be clear – the Tucson shootings have been over things such as graffiti, a borrowed car not being returned on time, a fight over a dog bite, an argument at a pool party, and road rage where both drivers were armed.
I’m sure whatever we do on the 18th won’t be the end of the conversation. And my unfortunate prediction is that before we get to the 18th, there will be more shootings and fatalities in the news.
Tucson Electric Substation Hearing
This reminder that coming on Thursday this week is the zoning examiner’s Special Exception hearing related to the TEP Vine Substation application. It’ll be held at 6 pm. You can sign into the meeting with this link: Zoning Examiner.
The project is associated with the proposed above-ground installation of new TEP electrical poles. These are the 115’ tall ones that are being proposed for an alignment coming up Kino and down to Banner. They’re upgrading to 138kV transmission from the current 46kV. The substation is one of 3 planned that will link the new power poles together to form a unified circuit.
The substation is to be located on Vine, near the intersection of Lee and Ring Road.
|
Tucson Electric Power seeks approval of an electric gas-insulated substation (GIS) as a special exception land use for the Vine Substation (formerly UA North), located on North Vine Ave near its intersection with E Lee St and adjacent to N Ring Rd. Here’s an aerial of the site:
One of the concerns raised is over the use of the gas at the site and the potential for leaking. Most of the concern is over the above-ground large electrical poles and their aesthetic impact on the residential areas they’ll be passing. It will be interesting to hear how the zoning examiner considers matters that are not immediately related to the actual location of the substation. It’s that location that TEP needs the exception in our zoning codes for. The zoning examiner may either approve the location with our without conditions or deny the application. TEP is asking for relief from some setback requirements from existing homes and relief from landscaping requirements. The staff has pushed back on both of those requests. The alignment of the poles will ultimately be decided by the Corporation Commission on a separate decision-making track.
You can see the city staff report to the zoning examiner at this link: staff report.
Spoiler alert – city staff is recommending approval of the special exception with those conditions.
Parks Items
The ever-popular Ready, Set, Rec program has the May schedule out. This is the van that shows up at parks throughout the city, coming filled with games and activities for people of all ages. As we reopen things – gradually – this is one way to resume enjoying the outdoors in a safe and healthy way. Please clip this schedule and keep it handy. Everyone in the family will have fun taking part.
|
In addition, we’re now reopening all ramadas for reservations. In accordance with Pima County health guidelines, ramadas of any size are now open for reservations. Groups will need to be 75 people or fewer. Also included are permits for amusement equipment and beer/wine consumption. And given the possibly large group size, please consider masks, consistent with the continuing CDC guidelines, even for outdoor gatherings.
Use this link for reservations - EZEEreg.com. Ramadas that are not reserved will be available on a first-come/first-served basis. And to stay up to date on classes and other parks programs, you can always check in at this link: Tucsonaz.gov/parks.
Census 2020
A quick note on the results of the 2020 census. All along, we thought Arizona was going to gain a congressional seat. As it turns out, we won’t. Whether that’s due to an undercount or is legit, we won’t know. But this map shows the results and who’s gaining and losing seats in congress.
There are 5 states that voted for Biden that are going to lose seats in congress. In 2 other states, there will be a net gain. And only 2 Trump-voting states will lose a seat. With the slim majority Democrats hold in both congressional chambers, those could be important numbers to consider after redistricting lines are drawn in the states affected by the census changes.
From the perspective of ‘every vote matters’, in New York, they’ve done an analysis and found that if only 89 more people had been counted, they would not have lost a seat. And it’s not only seats in congress that are impacted by census counts. Tens of millions of dollars in federal support over the next 10 years are at stake. It's done now. We’ll deal with the fallout in the coming years.
5G Update
Each week I’ve got several meetings with people related to the rollout of the 5G small cell poles. They’re not ‘small.’ But they are rolling out. And periodically, I get people asking me to sign onto a proposed citizen-led 5G local ordinance, much of which is focused on the city setting limits on RF emissions. Since I get an email or 2 per week advocating that I take the lead on that ordinance, I want to share here that we do not have the local authority to regulate RF emissions. While the state has taken our voice out of certain elements of the 5G process, it’s a federal law that prohibits us from regulating based on RF. Here’s the citation from FCC rules:
(iv) No State or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radiofrequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the Commission's regulations concerning such emissions.
Pursuant to federal case law, this prohibition applies to the regulation of operations of personal wireless facilities as well.
The way that ties into the Arizona state prohibitions is that we cannot deny a permit unless the proposed site fails to comply with our local codes. Since the FCC says we cannot regulate based on RF emissions, we can’t place that into our local code.
A part of my work on this last week was to discuss with the city manager and others a utility specification manual that’s being put together. It’s getting quite the pushback from the utilities. Even things such as limiting the distance between ‘vertical elements’ such as street lights, utility poles, and proposed small cell poles. They don’t want to be constrained. The fact that they’re all finally at the table is a good sign. Two months ago, it was us fighting one location at a time. The conversation has broadened.
Benedictine Apartments
I snapped these pictures on Saturday to show the progress being made at the Benedictine monastery site. They began on the south end of the site - shown in the first picture.
|
This second picture is of the north end of the property – clearly still a long way to go.
They’ve got a website up now and are taking advance applications for tenants. I’m told they expect to be moving some people in around July of this year and hope to be done by the end of the year. The interior of the monastery will be a combination of residential units in the former nun's quarters, and the chapel space will be a restaurant of some kind. Downstairs they’ll have amenities such as a gym and bicycle repair shop, which will be available to both tenants of the apartments, and others.
They’ll be offering a combination of bedroom/bath configurations. The one-bedrooms will start at $1,499 per month, and the two bedrooms go up to $2,149. As Ross said, pre-construction, these are intended to be high-end apartments.
This link will take you to all of the floor plans. www.LiveAtTheBenedictine.com
|
On a side note – for the $105M the feds are spending on the tent for asylum seekers, we could buy back the Benedictine and renovate it for asylum seekers for a fraction of that cost. Too late for that, but keep it in mind as you continue hearing the money DHS is spending on the migrant issue.
Harvard Global Health Institute COVID Map
Last week I shared the hospital capacity map the Harvard Global Health folks are tracking. The ICU bed capacity didn’t change since last week, so this map is still accurate. The risk assessment map is up above in the COVID Uptick section. It’s all relatively good news, keeping in mind that we don’t know what’s happening with the variants, and the testing numbers are way down, so people may be carrying the virus without us knowing.
Here’s our statewide map. I’ve been sharing these weekly for over a year now. In Pima County, we’ve now passed 115,000 COVID cases.
In Pima County, we’ve lost over 2,300 friends and loved ones since this began. When we did the memorial event in Himmel last October, the number was 622. At the time, we planted a flag for each person. Now that field of flags would cover the entire hill we gathered on.
Please keep focused on getting a vaccine and continuing to practice safe habits. We can see the finish line, but we’re not there yet.
