    Bobby’s parents have been poolside ever since his first competitive race at six years old. But mom and dad won’t be in the stands in Tokyo. Due to COVID-19, spectators are not allowed.

    “It would be amazing if they could come,” Bobby said.

    “Chances are we will have a better view of him swimming on TV than we would if we were there,” Joe said. “With the way COVID is working and what they are doing in Japan, they’ll be going between the Olympic Village and the venue. There wouldn’t be any time to see him. We would love to be there, but you live with what you got.”

    A teenager with a learner’s permit made a classic driving mistake – hitting the gas pedal instead of the brake, then drove right into a swimming pool! A diver from West Metro Fire Rescue attached a tow line to the fully submerged vehicle, enabling a tow truck to haul the car out of the pool. The teen driver and adult chaperone got out of the car safely, but the teen received a citation from Lakewood Police for careless driving.
