Recovery mode: Cleanup ongoing at Jamestown Reservoir
After heightened water levels closed parts of the Jamestown Reservoir this spring, the reservoir is open to the public, but it doesn’t look the same. Water levels have dropped to a point where a few feet of sand peeks through at the reservoir’s beach. At its highest levels, water covered not only the beach, but also the road that’s located three and four car lengths behind it.

Sister slam set
Richard Williams refuses to watch his daughters Venus and Serena play each other. Says he simply can’t bear to see it, no matter the setting, no matter the stage. So once again, the patriarch of the greatest sister act in tennis history is heading home to the United States before the Wimbledon final. That’s because the women’s singles championship at the All England Club is Venus Williams vs. Serena Williams for the second year in a row and fourth time overall.

RELATED CONTENTLetter to the editor: Women’s Way covering mammogram costs
Effective July 1, Women’s Way is covering screening mammograms for clients ages 40-64. That is right, starting at age 40! Until now, the organization was able to provide screening mammograms starting at age 50, and covered women under 40 only when followup was recommended. These funds are provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The American Cancer Society and other medical associations recommend that breast cancer screening begin at the age of 40. This 10-year difference between “recommended screening” and “provided screening” left many women without access to early detection services.
