Community members attended the Ichabod Crane Board of Education meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the high school library to hear the decision on Superintendent Michael Vanyo’s future.

VALATIE — After going into executive session for more than an hour, the Ichabod Crane Board of Education unanimously passed a resolution for District Superintendent Michael Vanyo to take a voluntary unpaid leave of absence. The leave of absence is effective immediately, and will be in effect until further notice. The decision came three

days after Vanyo was charged Saturday night with driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of Michael Vanyo a property damage auto accident in Saratoga County. No injuries were reported. Stark Jones, whose granddaughter is in the third grade, hopes the district uses the

incident as a teaching moment, he said. “It’s not just about alcohol or drugs,” he said. “It’s about what it means to be human and care for ourselves. It’s a wonderful opportunity for redeeming acts of kindness.” Jones thinks the school will be better off by taking the high road. “It will bring us to a better place of understanding of alcohol and drugs and what it See VANYO A2

There has been a rise in the number of rabies cases in the Twin Counties, and this week a rabid fox attacked residents and police officers in Albany County. A raccoon suspected of having rabies was shot and killed on Route 9 in Hudson on Monday. “There was a staggering raccoon outside the former St. Lawrence Cement factory on Route 9 going out of Hudson,” said Ed Coons, environmental health director for the Columbia County Department of Health. “It was shot by local police.” Coons was driving down Route 9 when he spotted the animal and saw several drivers appearing as if they wanted to help. Coons said the animal was acting out of character and he suspected it might be rabid. “People were slowing down and acting like they were going to save the raccoon, and they would have exposed themselves to possible rabies,” Coons said. “It was out during broad daylight, which is usually a sure sign of rabies. I approached the people and told them we would take care of it and not to touch the raccoon because we didn’t want them to be exposed.” Coons said raccoons are generally not active during daylight hours and to be wary and avoid them if they are outside during the day. “Normally, raccoons are nocturnal. They feed, breed and take care of their young usually from early dusk to early dawn, so if they are outside during the daytime, that is unusual,” Coons said. In addition to the suspect raccoon that was found on Route 9 this week, there have been numerous other cases. “There has been an unusual rise in the number of rabid raccoons in Columbia County. We have confirmed that we had eight out of nine

raccoons test positive within the last nine weeks,” Coons said. “They were in contact with human beings or domestic animals, so they were shot either by police officers, homeowners or nuisance wildlife personnel, and then they were submitted (for testing).” In another suspected rabies case in Hudson, a dog was recently

attacked by an unknown animal. While it is not known if the attacking animal was rabid, it is likely, Coons said. “One person let their little dog FILE PHOTO into their yard a week and a half ago A fox in Hudson, spotted in the daylight.

Greene County inmate accused of killing cellmate By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — The Greene Correctional Facility inmate accused in the death of his cellmate would have been eligible for parole next week, authorities said Tuesday. Anthony Paradise, 40, of Ballston Spa was arraigned Tuesday on a sealed indictment handed down by a Greene County grand jury for second degree murder based on an incident that took place at the medium-security state prison in the town of

Coxsackie, according to the Greene County District Attorney’s office Tuesday. Paradise is charged with causing the strangulation death of his cellmate, Delmus Tanner, 38, according to a statement issued Tuesday afternoon by the district attorney’s office. Tanner, who is from Albion, Orleans County, died Nov. 13, 2018 due to injuries sustained in an incident that occurred on Nov. 9, according to the district attorney’s office. Paradise used a piece of

clothing to strangle Tanner, Greene County District Attorney Joseph Stanzione said Tuesday. T a n n e r Anthony was trans- Paradise ported to Albany Medical Center following the assault, where he died on Nov. 13, Stanzione said. Paradise’s motive is unclear. “We have a few ideas but

nothing we’re prepared to release at this time,” Stanzione said. Paradise has been transferred to the Upstate Correctional Facility in Malone. His case will reviewed May 28, Stanzione said. If convicted, Paradise could remain behind bars for the rest of his life, Stanzione said. “Easily, 25 to life is a possibility,” Stanzione said. Paradise was serving time on a conviction for third-degree robbery, a class D felony, in Saratoga County in May

2018, Stanzione said. “He was up for parole next week,” he said. “I don’t think that’s going to happen.” Paradise would have become eligible for parole April 17, according to doccs.ny.gov, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision website. Paradise was sentenced to 16 months to 4 years in prison, which he started serving in Washington County. “He was transferred to Greene in October,” Stanzione See INMATE A2

Everyone should make sure their pets are vaccinated. It saved this animal’s life.” Raccoon rabies was first found in Columbia County in 1991, Coons said, and it has been endemic to the area ever since. The number of cases has been rising, he added. “This year we have had a lot of raccoons testing positive for rabies — that tells you there is a real issue,” he said.

means to be a community,” Jones said. Nelson said the board’s response was appropriate. “This is a legal matter that needs to follow its course,” the school board president said. “He is innocent until proven guilty and has a right to due process.” The board’s action will keep the school free of the distraction until the matter is settled, Nelson said. Vanyo is scheduled to return to Wilton Town Court at a later date. To return to school, Vanyo and the board must reach a mutual agreement, Nelson said. “The consequence is ongoing,” Nelson said. “The end is not yet clear for the individual or us as a district.” Suzanne Guntlow will serve as acting superintendent in

principal of the elementary school, and in July 2017 she moved to the district office as an administrator before being named assistant superintendent, according to the district’s website. Guntlow will be assisted by Questar III BOCES District Superintendent Gladys I. Cruz, Nelson said. “We are grateful for the support from Questar III BOCES,” Nelson said. The decision that led to Vanyo’s leave of absence came after a total of three meetings, Nelson told the public. The first occurred Sunday night when Vanyo and his attorney informed the board about the incident, the second meeting was called Monday at 5 p.m. at the school with a quorum but was postponed because one board member was absent. The third took place at until 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. The board called for an executive session Tuesday citing attorney-client privilege.

In the village of Ravena, in Albany County, there was a confirmed attack by a rabid fox Monday. A woman was taken to the hospital after the animal bit her three times, police said. Carole Holodook, 57, of Magnolia Circle, was outside in her front yard when the animal bit her on the right ankle, left thigh and left hand, Coeymans Police Chief Daniel Contento said. “I’ve been here 19 years, I’ve never had a fox attack,” he said. The incident occurred about 4:25 p.m. Monday. Holodook was taken to Albany Medical Center for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, Contento said. Holodook was no longer listed as a patient at the hospital Tuesday afternoon, according to an Albany Medical Center spokeswoman. Another woman who lives in the village cul-de-sac was getting her mail Monday afternoon and heard a screeching noise before the fox ran out of the bushes and chased her. The woman safely reached her home and was not injured,

said, adding that Paradise was accused of misconduct where he was previously incarcerated. Tanner began serving his sentence at Greene Correctional on a charge of third-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance, a class C felony, in January 2016.

A red fox, common in New York state. A rabid fox attacked several people in Ravena in Albany County before it was shot by Environmental Conservation Police earlier this week.

Contento said. The animal also attacked Coeymans police officers after they arrived at the scene. Police shot the animal before it attacked them and sent it to the Environmental Conservation Police Lab for testing. The fox tested positive for rabies, Contento said. Coeymans police officers Robert Griffith and Jeffrey Weir were splattered with the fox’s blood and were treated for exposure to rabies. “They’re not contagious,” Contento said. “One is returning to work Thursday, the other Friday.” The fox in Magnolia Circle exhibited abnormal, threatening behavior, according to a statement issued Tuesday by the state Department of Environmental Conservation. “[Environmental Conservation Officers] advised the family of the bite victim to seek appropriate, preventative treatment for probable rabies exposure,” according to the DEC. Rabid animals usually

exhibit unusually aggressive or tame behavior and may appear affectionate or friendly. Infected animals may stagger, convulse, choke, froth at the mouth, make unusual sounds or become paralyzed, according to the state Department of Health website. In Greene County, Coxsackie Police Chief Sam Mento said his department has not received any calls recently for animals acting suspiciously, but the issue is always top of mind. “I am always concerned,” Mento said. “A lot of times you have to discern if the animal is coming out of migration and it’s just confused, but certain animals are nocturnal and those, specifically, if they act erratic, you have to suspect rabies.” “We haven’t had any recent cases in the village that raised any flags or alarms,” Mento said, adding that if you do see an animal acting strangely, stay away from them. “If you see an animal that is suspicious, stay away and pick

The indictment was the

result of an intensive investigation conducted by New York State Police, Department of Corrections and Community Supervision and the Greene County District Attorney’s Office.

OUR VIEW

Don’t argue about the Vietnam memorial Greene lawmakers may uphold an unspoken vow to do what is best for the entire county from mountaintop to valley, but they seem to suffer from a case of provincialism when it comes to their own towns. As the Legislature reviewed plans Monday to host the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall, a disagreement arose over where the event should be held. Veterans from anywhere in the U.S. can come to Greene County to view the exhibit, a replica scaled down to three-fifths of the size of the original wall, at Historic Catskill Point near Dutchman’s Landing from Aug. 22-26. Opening ceremonies will begin at 11 a.m. Aug. 22. Legislator Thomas Hobart, R-Coxsackie, said his town made the first bid to host the memorial wall. “The village of Coxsackie already approved a resolution to apply for a grant to fund the event in 2018,” Hobart said. “They felt blindsided when the county took it over. They did the work to bring the wall to their community and had the rug pulled out from under them.” Hobart encouraged Greene County Director of Tourism Heather Bagshaw to reach out to Coxsackie Village Mayor Mark Evans about the issue. The mayor’s opinion was apparently asked, and he gave it Tuesday. Evans suggested Tuesday that a miscommunication may have occurred. “The village reached out to the Vietnam Wall and got them to commit to bring it back to New York and to Riverside Park,” Evans

said. “At some point, the county became involved and wanted to assist and we were fine with that.” Evans said he discussed having the event at Riverside Park with Greene County Veterans Services Agency Director Michelle Deyo. “One or two days later I hear she recommended Dutchman’s Landing, which I don’t mind,” he said. “But I don’t appreciate having the rug being pulled out. I’m not quite sure how the county became involved but they seem to have taken it over.” At least Evans seems to have perspective on the issue. He agreed the memorial is more important than the disagreement. “The most important thing is that it is coming and our veterans will be recognized and remembered,” Evans said. One practical reason for holding the event in Catskill is that a tent won’t be needed and Historic Catskill Point is a secure location. But we think the entire debate should not have happened. The memorial, and its roving replica, honors more than 58,000 men and women who died in an unpopular war, a war that still leaves physical and psychological scars today. Vietnam veterans returning to the homefront were greeted not with honors and salutes, but with abuse, threats and insults. They were vilified and called “war criminals.” They were spit on and nobody gave them parades. A visit by the Vietnam Memorial Wall is a mechanism for healing, not division, and it belongs to all of us. The Legislature should know that.

ANOTHER VIEW

Congress will “never” see President Donald Trump’s tax returns. That’s what acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney declared on Sunday. How does he know? Would the White House stop the Internal Revenue Service from turning over the files? Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin revealed Tuesday that Treasury Department attorneys discussed the issue with White House lawyers, despite laws meant to minimize White House interference in the IRS. Or was Mulvaney saying that the executive branch would ignore a judicial ruling ordering disclosure? Trump last week reportedly told immigration authorities to ignore judicial orders. Or was Mulvaney just embarrassingly wrong on the law governing Congress’s power to demand individual tax returns? As with so many puzzling statements from administration officials, Mulvaney’s had two interpretations, one sinister and one foolish. The Democrats who have demanded Trump’s returns anchored their request in an obscure but powerful federal law, which commands that the treasury secretary “shall furnish” congressional committees “with any return or return information” upon request. William Consovoy, Trump’s personal lawyer, argued in a Friday letter to the Treasury Department that the Democrats have “no legitimate committee purpose for requesting the President’s tax returns” and that their “request is a transparent effort by one political party to harass an official from the other party because they dislike his politics and speech.” The Democrats’ rationale may or may

not be persuasive to Consovoy, or to other observers who see political motives behind the tax return request. But the Democratic request clearly falls within the boundaries of permissible congressional action. Given the clarity of the law and Congress’s wide legal discretion to conduct investigations, no judge is likely to rule that House Democrats are abusing their powers. Setting aside the legal question, Trump has been wrong to conceal his tax information from Congress and the public. Mulvaney argued Sunday that the president got elected anyway, so the issue is settled. Actually, Trump won an election in which he repeatedly promised to release his returns. He is well past due to keep his promise. When they enter the presidential fray, candidates lose the reasonable expectations of privacy ordinary Americans have. That includes Donald Trump in 2016 and, now, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who has kept nearly all of his own tax filings curiously under wraps. Since the 1970s, presidents have released their tax returns so the public can glimpse how their leaders conduct their private affairs. Given Trump’s sprawling personal business, public disclosure is all the more important. Congress should pass a law insisting that every president and major-party presidential candidate disclose their tax returns, both current and going back some appropriate period of time. Doing so would make clear no president can duck the responsibility to be transparent, and it would save the Ways and Means Committee from relying on an old, obscure law to make the point. This is a norm that deserves to be restored — and made mandatory.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer.’

Cain, Moore nominations are two more tests for Republicans to fail WASHINGTON POST WASHINGTON — In 1964, although there was scant chance that Americans would choose to have a third president in 14 months, Lyndon Johnson took no chances. The economy was sizzling and in November Johnson would carry 44 states. Nevertheless, he wanted low interest rates, so he summoned to his Texas ranch Federal Reserve Chairman William McChesney Martin Jr., the longest-serving chairman (1951-1970), for whom one of the Fed’s two Washington buildings is now named. Johnson (this from “Capitalism in America: A History” by Alan Greenspan and Adrian Wooldridge) “gave [Martin] the once-over, shoving him around the room, yelling in his face, ‘Boys are dying in Vietnam and Bill Martin doesn’t care.’” In 1969, Richard Nixon, already plotting reelection, summoned to the White House Arthur Burns, who Nixon had nominated to become Fed chairman. According to John Ehrlichman’s memoir “Witness to Power,” Nixon said: “’Arthur, I want you to come over and see me privately anytime. ... I know there’s the myth of the autonomous Fed.’ ... Nixon barked a quick laugh. ... ‘And when you go up for confirmation some senator may ask you about your friendship with the president. Appearances are going to be important, so you can call Ehrlichman to get messages to me.’” Past instances of presidential pressure on the Fed are pertinent to Donald Trump’s hectoring of Jerome Powell, the Fed chairman he regrets having chosen. Trump’s public coarseness makes Johnson’s and Nixon’s private behavior seem comparatively couth. Fortunately, Powell seemingly regards the president’s clamor for low interest rates as white noise, unworthy of notice. The Fed’s structure largely insulates it from political pressure, but structure can only do so much.

GEORGE F.

WILL Today’s controversy concerns Trump’s nominees to fill the two vacant seats on the Fed’s seven-member board of governors, Herman Cain and Stephen Moore. Whether or not their untidy sex lives are disqualifying, a sufficient disqualification is that both are notably partisan Trump acolytes and neither has satisfactory credentials or experience. The GOP’s descent into vaudeville began with the 2008 vice presidential nomination of Sarah Palin, it accelerated in 2011 when Cain was taken seriously as a presidential candidate, and it reached warp speed with the party’s capture by the man who takes Cain seriously as a maker of monetary policy. Cain’s certitude about his economic nostrums is inversely proportional to the study he has invested in the subject, which probably has involved less effort than he recently invested in organizing a PAC to promote Trump’s reelection. Cain’s and his nominator’s boundless confidence in their economic beliefs demonstrates the Dunning-Kruger Effect. It is named for two Cornell psychologists who in 1999 described the bias by which the lower a person’s intellectual ability, the more the person tends to overestimate it. Some thoughtful people regret, as Cain does, the end of the gold standard, but they understand, as he does not, that fiat money is here to stay. Similarly, Moore might be right that the Fed would function better if it bound monetary policy to a prudent rule. There are, however, reasons to doubt that Moore knows

what the rule should be (he certainly wrongly ascribes a particular rule to former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker), and there are reasons to expect that the rule he would advocate at any moment would reflect his assessment not of macroeconomic facts but of partisan advantage. The fact that presidents nominate judges with whose jurisprudence they agree does not of itself “politicize” courts, because most cases that courts consider are not directly related to partisan issues, and because the political fortunes of presidents and their parties are rarely immediately impacted by the court’s decisions the way the Fed’s economic decisions can impact them. Hence the danger of Trump’s crude attempt to lower the Fed’s intellectual quotient while increasing the perception that the Fed is a political plaything. In a crisis like that of September 2008 the Fed influences not just the U.S. money supply but something that can suddenly be even more important — the world’s confidence supply. The Fed’s prestige is perishable, and endangered by these two nominees. Populism, democracy’s degenerate byproduct, incubates hostility to people possessing specialized knowledge (aka “elites”), but senators can withhold consent from particularly egregious abuses of institutions that are particularly dependent on the perception of competence. The Cain and Moore nominations will be two more tests — of political courage, and of their institutional responsibility — for Senate Republicans to fail. The possible good news is that these two confirmation votes might bring us closer to the day when supine senators grow weary of being embarrassed and embarrassing.

Bernie Sanders unveils updated ‘Medicare for All’ bill By Mary Ellen McIntire CQ-Roll Call (TNS)

WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday released an updated bill to implement a single-payer health insurance system, legislation that is politically divisive and will be a hallmark of his White House bid. The unnumbered Senate bill would transition the U.S. health care system to a singlepayer system over a four-year transition and eliminate nearly all premiums, copays and deductibles. The legislation largely mirrors Sanders’ 2017 proposal, but the new plan also would cover home and communitybased long-term care services through an expanded Medicare program, according to a summary. The earlier version would have maintained those services through existing Medicaid benefits. The “Medicare for All” concept, which the Vermont independent ran on during his unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign, has become more popular since then. Still, as of Tuesday night, Sanders’ single-payer bill had secured just 14 Democratic Senate cosponsors, fewer than the 16 that signed on by last year. His bill comes after other Democrats have offered their own proposals to expand health insurance coverage, such as allowing people to buy into Medicare or Medicaid or creating a Medicare-run public option to be sold on the exchanges created under the health care law. The biggest change from

OLIVIER DOULIERY/ABACA PRESS/TNS

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders introduces the Medicare for All Act of 2019 on Capitol Hill on April 10, 2019 in Washington, D.C.

Sanders’ previous bill — to expand long-term care services — in part mirrors a House bill introduced by Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., earlier this year. Sanders’ proposal would cover home and community-based care through the expanded Medicare program, but care provided in an institution, such as in a nursing home, would continue to be covered through Medicaid. Jayapal’s bill would cover all of that through the universal Medicare program. That change earned significant support from disability advocates. The Medicare program envisioned through Sanders’ and Jayapal’s plans would be a sig-

nificant expansion of the program as it exists today. It would cover mental health care, vision and dental, emergency transportation and substance abuse treatment, among other things. Sanders proposed a four-year phase-in, so the qualifying age for Medicare would fall from the current 65 by a decade each year. That’s slower than the twoyear transition under Jayapal’s measure. During that transition, people could buy into the program. People currently enrolled in federal health programs would transition into the universal Medicare program, although the Indian Health Service and

the Department of Veterans Affairs would both stay independent for at least a decade. All health care providers would be required to sign a participation agreement that would ban discrimination on issues including race, national origin, income, religion, age, sex or sexual orientation, disability or illness. Providers would be paid based on the existing Medicare fee schedule and existing alternative payment methods created under the 2010 health care law and a 2015 Medicare overhaul law would continue. That differs from the House bill, under which hospitals would be paid through a global

budget that would pay institutions regular lump sums throughout the year to cover care, while individual providers would be paid on a fee-for-service payment schedule. Sanders’ bill would also create a national health budget to cover the cost of services delivered under the act and make other payments, including public health activities, capital expenditures and administrative costs. For the program’s first five years, that budget may also cover transition assistance to workers affected by the change to the insurance industry. It would establish a trust fund for the program to cover issues such as public health emergencies. The plan would require Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices and establish a drug formulary, while allowing patients and providers to petition for certain drugs to be on or off the formulary. While the bill would eliminate premiums and deductibles, enrollees would still face a $200 maximum copay each year for prescription drugs. The plan would ban the Hyde amendment, which prohibits federal funds from covering abortion in most cases. The program would be run by the Health and Human Services secretary leading the new Universal Medicare Agency, along with six other people to be confirmed by the Senate. Sanders’ bill does not lay out how the measure would be financed, but in a separate white paper he argues that funding the program would be repurposing

E. coli outbreak grows in Southeast, but source remains a mystery Helena Oliviero The New York Times News Service

ATLANTA -- Health authorities are scrambling to identify the source of an E. coli outbreak as the number of people sickened by the food-borne virus climbs in Georgia and neighboring states. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said nearly 100 cases have been reported, with the vast majority concentrated in the Southeast. Since March 2, 46 people have fallen ill in Kentucky, 26 in Tennessee, 17 in Georgia, five in Ohio and two in Virginia. So far, 11 people have been hospitalized in this puzzling outbreak, but no deaths have been reported. The current outbreak is linked to a strain known as E. coli 0103. While considered serious, it’s less likely to cause the severe illness, kidney failure and death that E. coli 0157 did last year. A June 2018 outbreak of that strain sickened about 210 people in 36 states and caused five deaths. Another outbreak led to an enormous recall of romaine lettuce last November. Laura Gieraltowski, leader of the CDC’s Foodborne Outbreak Response Team, said the inves-

tigation into the current flareup is “moving quite rapidly” and that she was hopeful the agency will soon determine the source. For now, the CDC isn’t advising the public to avoid any particular food. Outbreaks of E. coli 0103 -- which can lead to stomach cramping, vomiting and diarrhea -- are relatively uncommon, but this current one is the largest on record. The patients in the five states range in age from 1 to 81 years old, with a median age of 17. In Georgia, health officials are not releasing the location of those who have gotten sick. Three of them have been hospitalized, and the median age of those infected in the state is 15. Though E. coli naturally occurs in the gut of healthy people and animals, a few nasty strains -- transmitted through contaminated water or food, and sometimes through contact with other people and animals -- cause illness. Symptoms of E. coli infection usually begin three or four days after consuming the bacteria. Most people recover within a week. The CDC recommends that those who develop symptoms of E. coli infection contact

their doctors as soon as possible. Doctors and hospitals report suspected cases of E. coli illnesses to local health officials, which can help identify the source. E. coli can affect anyone exposed to the bacteria. But young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop complications from the infection. Bill Marler, a prominent food safety lawyer from Seattle, said it’s concerning the CDC has yet to identify the source, but added that it can sometimes be challenging. Investigations are turning to DNA science, tapping into whole genome sequencing to pinpoint the sources of E. coli bacteria. But technology must be combined with interviews with sick people to determine everything they have eaten recently in an effort to identify clusters of illness. “You might remember the hamburger you ate, but not the side or the sprouts on the hamburger,” said Marler. He suspects those sickened in the latest cases don’t recall a side dish or food topping consumed, like parsley or peppers or lettuce

-- ingredients easily forgotten. The CDC recommends a number of steps to reduce risk of exposure to E. coli, such as careful hand washing, rinsing fruits and vegetables, cooking meat thoroughly and avoiding cross-contamination in food preparation areas (for example, don’t use the same cutting board to slice chicken and then

vegetables). Other recommendations to prevent E. coli illness include avoiding unpasteurized dairy products and unpasteurized juices. Story Filed By Cox Newspapers For Use By Clients of the New York Times News Service

current spending. The average family would save thousands of dollars annually without out-ofpocket spending on health care, he says. Still, families would likely face higher taxes to finance a singlepayer system. Some ways he’s proposed to pay for the bill include a 4 percent income-based premium paid by employees that exempts the first $29,000 for a family of four, a 7.5 percent incomebased premium on employers that exempts the first $2 million in payroll, making the federal income tax more progressive, or establishing a tax on extreme wealth.

The Hunter Republican becomes Hunter Review By Dede Terns-Thorpe For Columbia-Greene Media

A few tidbits from long ago. Windham Journal 1878 Mr. David Schermerhorn of Prattsville recently butchered a pig 8 1/2 months old that dressed at 389 1/2 lbs. (That’s a gain of about 48 pounds per month). There is strong talk of building a Methodist Episcopal Church in Stony Clove the coming spring and it is likely to go up then. George Hidecker has hired out for the year in New Britain, Connecticut. During the winter he gets $10 a month, in the summer he earns $18 a month. A farmer has just received 28 cents a pound for butter. (Just for comparison; Today, a pound of butter can cost $3 a pound, or more.) Several men who went from town to work on the ice along the river have saved just enough to pay their expenses and foot it home. Hunter village people are excited over the teacher of the school punishing a little boy. It is said the child was thrown over the desk, bruised his head, and bleeding from the nose profusely. The teacher’s name is Brown. We haven’t heard the teacher’s version of the affair.

A Reverend McCarthy in his evening lecture justly complained against many habits of the villagers. Among others the habit of congregating nightly at the public stores and lounging on the counters, interfering with trade and injuring groceries by charging everything with tobacco smoke. He thought this habit of spending evenings at the stores was a violation of the marriage contract. What Windham needs is a reading room! Tannersville 1895-1896 — Hunter Republican While researching, I came across this little piece of newspaper history that I thought was worth sharing with the many historians, both on and off the mountain. The HUNTER REPUBLICIAN was purchased by Editor and Proprietor A. L. Baldwin in 1902. In the Friday, October 3, 1902 Announcement to the readers: “Having purchased The Republican and upon assuming its control, I deem it due its readers that announcement be made of the policy which will be pursued, especially in regard to political questions. It is my purpose to make this paper a newspaper, and especially devote its columns to

the publishing and dissemination of the news of this section, giving such space to events relating to local politics as will supply all the local news while maintaining a strictly non-partisan course, which I hope will receive the cordial support of all, as the principal benefit accruing to a community from a local newspaper is its faithful chronicling of vicinity happenings, its intelligent promotion of local interest, and its earnest support of measures for local betterment which the friends of progress may unite in demanding. Beginning November 7, 1902, THE HUNTER REVIEW will be made because of the neutral position this paper will hereafter occupy in regard to political questions. In thanking the retiring editor for the uniform interest and courtesy shown by him I wish him success, of which he is well deserving, in any enterprise in which he may engage. Very respectfully, A. L. Baldwin.” Subscription rates for one year, $1.50. Single copies, 5 cents. Thanks for reading. Please send any corrections or comments to hunterhistorian@gmil.com (new email) or call 518-589-4130.

Need help with postcards By Abby and Gabby For Columbia-Greene Media

PRATTSVILLE — Perhaps spring has finally arrived. Now comes the lawn work and gardens — vegetable and flower. Chain saws are buzzing cleaning up the winter debris, grills are being scrubbed for summer barbecues and bluebird boxes are cleaned and ready for the returning flocks. Agree with Chris Dwon (Out Lexington Way) have not seen the color change for the gold finches. It is always a fun way to start off a Sunday with a Breakfast Buffet at the West Kill Community Hall and this past Sunday was not disappointing. The decibels increased as the morning wore on. Great way to catch up on friends’ activities in neighboring towns and enjoy their favorite breakfast dishes. How could you choose a favorite with one dish being just as great as the others. Kip Rikard was so anxious for the buffet, he showed up on Saturday AM and had to return Sunday. Kip you need an appointment book. Kip and Bob Gurley made a delivery to the VA in Albany on Friday. The Legion and Auxiliary had received a large supply of food items for the veterans and Legionnaires Kip and Bob made sure their fellow veterans had the benefit of the donations. Thank

you Jeff and Joann and Gilboa UMC. NEED SOME HELP. Came upon two postcards from France, dated December 16, 1918 and March 15, 1919, yes 1918 and 1919. They were among some stamp collector’s treasures and would like to get some feedback. The postage is “Soldiers. Mail” and addressed to a Miss Mildred Powell, 66 Cortland St., Norwich N.Y. U.S.A. The soldier writing is “Wag. Herbert Bergfelt (or Bergfeldt), 311 Engr. Train. A.E.F.” Does Wag. stand for “Wagoner”? Perhaps a rank in Engineer Train, forerunner to Corps of Engineers? Know A.E.F. stands for American Expeditionary Forces. Herbert writes (1918) that he is fine and dandy and welcomes her letter. He is one mile from the bridge on the front of the postcard. “I expect to soon leave for home.” “3. Cubzac-les-Ponts – Pont des Pietons – BR – 12. In the other postcard (1919) writes he is looking forward to her letter and will write more upon his return from Paris. Postcard is “1 Metz (Lorraine) – Une place”. Although they have a censor’s stamp and signature on them, nothing has been blocked out, after the armistice. Would love some feedback on these postcards. The Lanes just can’t avoid health problems. Matriarch

Dorothy Lane is still in the hospital and Connie Lane unhappily joined her for a few days. They were both in Albany Med, making family visits a little easier. Connie returned home on Saturday.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA BARD FISHER CENTER AND THE AMERICAN DANCE FESTIVAL–BARD DANCE PROGRAM PARTNERSHIP PRESENT

Ephrat Asherie Dance Odeon ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON — Led by The Boston Globe’s “bona fide b-girl,” Ephrat Asherie makes her Fisher Center debut with Odeon, a high-energy, hybrid hip-hop dance work set to and inspired by the music of early 20th-century Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth, played live. Odeon will be performed in the Fisher Center’s LUMA Theater on Saturday, April 13 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, April 14 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at fishercenter. bard.edu or by calling 845-758-7900.

Tribute to Agnès Varda, Preeminent French New Wave Filmmaker CHATHAM — Curated by Laurence Kardish, former Senior Curator of Film, The Museum of Modern Art NY & Co-Artistic Director, Film Columbia PS21: Performance Spaces for the 21st Century is honored to present a three-day mini-film festival celebrating the life and work of multi-award winning film auteur Agnès Varda. Varda has helped define modern cinema over her astonishing 60-year career and earned accolades from her peers, film critics, and fans alike. The Agnès Varda mini-film festival at PS21 runs Friday, April 12 through Sunday, April 14, festival schedule & tickets at PS21chatham.org . “Why Varda? Because she is one of the great auteurs of our lifetime,” said Judy Grunberg, PS21 Board President. “It is unusual for an artist to have an active working life of over 60 years, much less filled with unique and always fresh and original works! Our mini-festival at PS21 spans 55 of those years, beginning with one of her earliest, Cleo from 5 to 7, and ending with one of her most recent, Faces/Places.” “Agnès Varda, France’s preeminent maker of moving images, at 90 is a world treasure,” said Laurence Kardish, The former Senior Curator of Film, The Museum of Modern Art, New York and Co-Artistic Director, Film Columbia. “Known as the Grandmother of the New Wave, she is also a pioneer video maker. PS21’s tribute to this remarkable woman covers all aspects of her career which spans the 20th and 21st centuries” Those unfamiliar with Varda’s work will have a chance to see her films in PS21’s

Agnes Varga

state-of-the-art Black Box Theater. And fans will have the pleasure of falling in love with her oeuvre all over again!

AGNÈS VARDA MINI-FESTIVAL SCHEDULE: Friday, April 12, 7 p.m. Clèo from 5 to 7 (1962, 90 min) Agnès Varda eloquently captures Paris in the sixties with this real-time portrait of a singer set adrift in the city as she awaits test results of a biopsy. A chronicle of the minutes of one woman’s life, Cléo from 5 to 7 is a spirited mix of vivid vérité and melodrama, featuring a score by Michel Legrand and cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina. Saturday, April 13, 2:30 p.m. Vagabond (1985, 105 min) Varda’s expressive and splintered portrait of a defiant young drifter named Mona found frozen to death in a ditch at the beginning of the film pieces together her story through flashbacks told by those who encountered her. This sparse, poetic film

won Varda the top prize at the Venice Film Festival. Saturday, April 13, 4:30 p.m. Daguerreotypes (1976, 80 min) and Ulysse (1983, 22 min.) Daguerreotypes: This affable, curious portrait of Varda’s Parisian neighbors and acquaintances on Rue Daguerre, her home for decades, is a warm, quietly affecting movie, and a slightly embittered reflection on “a woman’s creativity… smothered by the home,” in the director’s own words. Ulysse: Varda interviews two subjects from a photograph she took 30 years earlier. (Ulysse will screen immediately after Daguerreotypes) Saturday, April 13, 7:30 p.m. The Gleaners and I (2000, 82 min.) This documentary explores the often marginalized people who collect food and objects left behind by others from farm fields and vineyards to city markets and garbage dumps. This is both a portrait of the people who gather what a wasteful industrial society has discarded and a self-reflection on Varda’s style of filmmaking, it’s own form of gleaning. Sunday, April 14, 2:30 p.m. Faces/Places (2017, 94 min.) One of Varda’s latest films is a documentary about her journey across France in a van with a much-younger muralist named JR and has elements of a road movie, buddy film, and memoir. The film was listed by Time Magazine as one of its top-ten films of 2017, won a number of prestigious awards, and was nominated for an Oscar. $5 – $35

A hedonist turns pleasure into poetry By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

Booze and drugs, sex and topless women, unbridled hedonism and a tropical assortment of misfits. These pretty much form the substance of “The Beach Bum,” director Harmony Korine’s fourth feature and latest exploration of the Pleasure Principle. “The Beach Bum” is Moondog, a man as loony as his name suggests. As played by an almost unrecognizable Matthew McConnaughey, Moondog is a loose-cannon stoner but he’s likable. Korine, who wrote the near-plotless script, is back in the hot, sun-drenched environment of his last movie, “Spring Breakers,” from 2013. “I’m a bottom-feeder,” Moondog tells the patrons of a beachfront bar. “I go low to get high.” That could also describe the movie. Moondog is actually an accomplished poet who types his verse on a cheap plastic typewriter and drives his agent (an excellent Jonah Hill) up the wall by procrastinating on his new book. Moondog is a free-spirited artist with a quick, genius

mind who prefers getting high, fishing and seducing tanned beach babes than doing any actual work. The movie unfolds around the warm, golden coastlines of Miami Beach and Key West, where Moondog cruises in his boat, the aptly named Well Hung. This is Korine’s straightest attempt at comedy — faint praise, but it’s a cut above the ugly “Gummo” and the disgusting “Spring Breakers.” McConnaughey grabs the role of Moondog between his teeth and shakes it until the tilt sign lights up. Hidden under a beatup hat and big spectacles with snap-down sunglasses, McCon-

naughey is having a great time and he shares his elation with the viewer. Although his riffing comes at you at speed-metal velocity, McConnaughey’s acting here can’t touch his crusading AIDS patient in “Dallas Buyers Club” but he rebounds adequately from his distracted performance in the terrible film noirturned sci-fi fantasy “Serenity.” The story, such as it is, centers on Moondog’s relationship with his wife Minnie (Isla Fisher). Minnie, a wealthy heiress, supports her husband’s art. Moondog will inherit Minnie’s fortune, but if he doesn’t finish and publish his new book, there’s no

money. Minnie is having a hot affair with ex-rapper Ray (Snoop Dogg) — short for Lingerie — with Moondog’s full knowledge and blessing. If he can pursue pleasure, he reasons, why can’t she? Then a tragedy occurs and Moondog has to figure out how to integrate hedonism with life’s realities. Along the way, we meet a gallery of colorful characters, including Zac Efron as a stoned escapee from a rehab center, Jimmy Buffett as himself and Martin Lawrence as a hapless charter boat guide who has a gory encounter with a shark. The scene where a stoned Moondog trades Lawrence’s bitten-off foot for his white captain’s hat is typical of Korine’s ability to get laughs with over-the-top material. Korine’s previous features deal in misogyny, extreme violence and gratuitous sex. “The Beach Bum” contains all three, but they are offset to some extent in a twisting, turning romp rendered with McConnaughey’s startling performance. This is Korine’s most palatable movie. It’s almost good.

CALENDAR LISTINGS TSL Movies April 11 - April 17 n The Image Book — Displaying an encyclopedic grasp of cinema, the legendary Jean-Luc Godard pieces together fragments from some of the greatest ilms of the past, then digitally alters, bleaches, and washes them, all in the service of relecting on what he sees in front of him and what he makes of the dissonance that surrounds him. His voice guides us through the labyrinth of his mind. In some cases, it is to relect on the metaphysical properties of the world – time and space and where meaning is found – and, more importantly, it is the image, the thing that has obsessed Godard for his entire career, that anchors this ilm. In English, French, Arabic, and Italian with subtitles. 2019. 1h24m. n Diane — For Diane (Mary Kay Place), everyone else comes irst. Generous but with little patience for self-pity, she spends her days checking in on sick friends, volunteering at her local soup kitchen, and trying to save her drug-addicted adult son (Jake Lacy) from himself. But beneath her relentless routine of self-sacriice, Diane is ighting a desperate internal battle, haunted by a past she can’t forget and which threatens to tear her chaotic world apart. Built around a fearless performance from Mary Kay Place, the narrative debut from Kent Jones is a profound, beautifully human portrait of a woman riling through the wreckage of her life in search of redemption. 2019. 1h36m. n Transit — As fascism spreads, German refugee Georg (Franz Rogowski) lees to Marseille and assumes the identity of the dead writer whose transit papers he is carrying. Living among refugees from around the world, Georg falls for Marie (Paula Beer), a mysterious woman searching for her husband – the man whose identity he has stolen. Adapted from Anna Segher’s 1944 novel, Transit shifts the original story to the present, blurring periods to create a timeless exploration of the plight of displaced people. In French and German with subtitles. 2018. 1h41m. n Apollo 11 — From director Todd Douglas Miller (Dinosaur 13) comes a cinematic event ifty years in the making. Crafted from a newly discovered trove of 65mm footage, and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, Apollo 11 takes us straight to the heart of NASA’s most celebrated mission – the one that irst put men on the moon, and forever made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names. Immersed in the perspectives of the astronauts, the team in Mission Control, and the millions of spectators on the ground, we vividly experience those momentous days and hours in 1969 when humankind took a giant leap into the future. 2019. 1h33m. n Rembrandt: Exhibition On Screen — Presented by Exhibition On Screen. Every Rembrandt exhibition is eagerly anticipated, but this major show hosted by London’s National Gallery and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum was an event like no other. Given privileged access to both galleries, the ilm documents this landmark exhibition, while interweaving Rembrandt’s life story with behind-the-scenes preparations at these world famous institutions. Exploring many of the exhibition’s key works, through contributions from specially invited guests including curators and leading art historians, this Exhibition On Screen favorite makes a welcome return to the big screen. 2014. 1h36m. n Joseph Pulitzer: Voice of the People — From director Oren Rudavsky. Adam Driver narrates while Liev Schreiber, Tim Blake Nelson, and Rachel Brosnahan voice key roles. Together, they bring to life the virtually unknown American icon Joseph Pulitzer who began as a penniless, Jewish immigrant from Hungary and grew into one of America’s most admired and feared media igures. The rare story of the man behind the prize, who spoke of “fake news” and the importance of freedom of the press over a century ago. His New York newspaper The World spoke to an unprecedented number of readers with powerful journalistic ideals and an artistry and gamechanging originality. 2019. 1h25m. n CatVideoFest 2019 — CatVideoFest is a compilation reel of the latest and best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos, and, of course, classic internet powerhouses. CatVideoFest is a joyous communal experience, only available in theaters, and raises money for cats in need through partnerships with

local cat charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters to best serve cats in the area. Portion of proceeds to beneit AnimalKind in Hudson. 2019. 1h10m. n The Baker’s Wife — The warmth and wit of celebrated playwright turned auteur Marcel Pagnol (The Marseille Trilogy) shines through in this enchanting slice-of-life comedy. Returning once again to the Provençal countryside he knew intimately, Pagnol draws a vivid portrait of a close-knit village where the marital woes of a sweetly deluded baker (the inimitable Raimu, heralded by no less than Orson Welles as “the greatest actor who ever lived”) snowball into a scandal that engulfs the entire town. Marrying the director’s abiding concern for the experiences of ordinary people with an understated but superbly judged visual style, The Baker’s Wife is wonderfully droll and perceptive in its nuanced treat-ment of the complexities of human relationships. In French with English subtitles. 1938. 2h13m. n Birds of Passage — From the Oscar-nominated team behind Embrace of the Serpent comes an equally audacious saga centered on the Wayúu indigenous people during a crucial period in recent Colombian history. Torn between his desire to become a powerful man and his duty to uphold his culture’s values, Rapayet enters the drug traicking business in the 1970s and inds quick success despite his tribe’s matriarch Ursula’s disapproval. Ignoring ancient omens, Rapayet and his family get caught up in a conlict where honor is the highest currency and debts are paid with blood. A sprawling epic about the erosion of tradition in pursuit of wealth, Birds of Passage is a visually striking exploration of loyalty, greed, and the voracious nature of change. In Spanish, Wayúu, and English with subtitles. 2018. 2h5m TIME & SPACE LIMITED 434 COLUMBIA STREET, HUDSON, NY | (518) 822-8100 | FYI@TIMEANDSPACE.ORG

APRIL 11 “Still Standing: The Farrand House on Fairview” Thursday, April 11, 6 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. The Farrand family farmhouse formerly known as “The Pines”, an example of Gothic Revival architecture, sits somewhat inconspicuously on Fairview Avenue although it has been lately in the news as it faces demolition. Paul Barrett will weave the story of this iconic building from the 1850s to the present. This house has been in the news lately as developers plan to tear it down. Long before the bustle of strip mall traic and fast food outlets, the Farrand operation – once encompassing over 160 acres – was a leading grower and shipper of pears in New York State and, amongst other things, introduced Peking Ducks to the region. Aside from agriculture, the Farrand’s were involved in shipping, banking, warehousing, and even the management of sugar plantations in San Domingo. Mr. Barrett, a researcher and local historian, is a sales agent for Hunt Real Estate. This is his second talk for the library’s local history series. A question and answer period and refreshments will follow the talk. For more information email *protected email*, call 518-828-1792 x101, or visit the main desk in the library.

BUTCH DILL/USA TODAY

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (40) throws during spring training at George M. Steinbrenner Field.

Severino out longer than expected James Wagner The New York Times News Service

HOUSTON — The New York Yankees will be without Luis Severino, their staff ace, until some time this summer, after it was revealed Tuesday that he suffered a right latissimus dorsi muscle strain while returning from an injured throwing shoulder. The Yankees announced the results of Severino’s latest magnetic resonance imaging examination before Tuesday’s game against the Houston Astros. The team said Severino would be unable to throw for six weeks. This latest injury — a Grade 2 strain on a scale of three — occurred some time after an examination in early March revealed that Severino, 25, had inflammation in the rotator cuff in his right shoulder, a team spokesman said. The latissimus dorsi is a muscle in the back that stretches roughly from the armpit to the hip. Severino’s rehabilitation from his shoulder injury was stalled when he reported not feeling “as great” as before during long tosses on flat ground over weekend at the team’s spring training facility in Tampa, Florida. He had not been able to graduate to the next step in his return — throwing off a mound — which led the Yankees to send Severino to New York to be evaluated by the their head doctor on Tuesday.

Severino, a two-time AllStar, was already one of the major-league-leading 11 Yankees on the injured list. But the latest blow means they will be without Severino even longer than expected; he was originally slated to return from the shoulder injury sometime in May. The Yankees expect C.C. Sabathia, who had offseason surgeries on his heart and knee, to return from the IL this weekend. Domingo German and Jonathan Loaisiga have filled the void in the rotation in the meantime. German has pitched well in his two starts and Loaisiga started on Monday. If Severino resumes throwing in six weeks, around late May, it often takes at least another month for starting pitchers to go through a throwing program that begins from scratch and eventually progresses to multiple minor league rehabilitation starts. So, conservatively, the Yankees could perhaps be without Severino until at least late June, if not early July. But the Yankees did not provide a public timeline beyond the six-week shutdown. Although the grades of the strains were not publicly known and were likely of varying degrees, Steven Matz of the New York Mets missed two months with a torn latissimus dorsi on his throwing side in 2015 while Noah Syndergaard missed five months with one on his throwing side in 2017.

At his 13th Masters, Kuchar puts one unpopular act behind him Steve Hummer The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

AUGUSTA, Ga. — This golf thing is as fickle as any other democracy. Matt Kuchar has known that to be true since he first started keeping score. But at 40 now, nearly two decades a professional after leaving Georgia Tech, he has just this season learned something else about life on the course. That the popularity thing that comes with playing golf is likewise fleeting. Doesn’t matter the years a man invests in holding a smile like a billboard ad for teeth whitening. Doesn’t matter being as generally genial as a Walmart greeter. It can all pivot on the axis of one stupid move. When Kuchar cheaped out on his fillin local caddie after winning a big tournament — and nearly $1.2 million — in Mexico in November, and the details became public, he suddenly was the bad guy. At least as much the bad guy as pro golfers ever get. Sticking to a pre-tournament agreement with a local looper David “El Tucan” Ortiz, Kuchar paid him $5,000, even after winning and making seven figures for the week. Tour caddies can take home as much as 10 percent of a player’s earnings. This represented a miserly 0.38 percent return on Kuchar’s earnings. The tone-deaf reactions of Kuchar and his camp immediately afterward didn’t help, either. There were statements shrugging off the story, declaring

that $5,000 was a good week for a fellow in Ortiz’s position and that Kuchar was hardly losing any sleep over the slight. It was all penny-wise and PR-foolish. It was the kind of an act confirming every class-related notion about rich guys and the game they play. Suddenly one of the PGA Tour’s most likable players turned into Judge Smails right before our very eyes. Kuchar eventually agreed to pay Ortiz $50,000, but the damage to his image

had already been done. Playing on was the easy part, and Kuchar, the current FedEx Cup points leader continued to do that very well. “It’s easy to focus on the play when you’re inside the ropes. You have a shot over water and it’s a demanding shot, it’s easy to kind of go into whatever zone it is and drown everything out,” he said. But, he added, “The other stuff, the See KUCHAR B6

A goodbye for the ages as Dwyane Wade leaves in style Dave Hyde Sun Sentinel

MIAMI — In the end, the goodbye was such a great-bye it was hard to know how to feel on the way out. Happy? Sad? Proud? Empty? Emotional for what happened Tuesday night, as even Dwyane Wade seemed when he took the pregame microphone as fans chanted, “M-V-P?” “You’re going to make me cry before this game,” Wade said. Or maybe it was an injection of pure nostalgia for what how Tuesday played out over 16 years. Even Wade stared up at the videos of his youth in 2003, of tributes from his friends like LeBron James, of even his son, Zaire, giving one final, announcer-style, “D-WAAAAYNE WAAAADE.” “If I didn’t have a game right then, you would have seen a different me right then,” Wade said. “I wouldn’t have been able to keep it together.” What a night. What a farewell. What a happy and sad, wonderful and emotional, heartfelt and heart-wrenching ending to a 16-year career the likes of which South Florida won’t enjoy again. Wade, introduced again as a starter for this final home game, did what he once always did in moving to the four sides of the court before the game and waving the fans to join him. “It felt right,” coach Erik Spoelstra said. “It felt like going back in a time machine to 2008.” Just a moment ago, Wade celebrated the series-winning shot against New Orleans as a rookie. Just a moment ago he spritzed champagne with Shaquille O’Neal after beating Dallas for the Heat’s first title. Just a moment ago, Wade was the magnet that brought The Big Three together and going to four straight Finals visits and winning two more championships. And now it’s over. Well, there’s one more night in Brooklyn on Wednesday. But Tuesday was his big goodbye. He knew it. The fans knew it. Of course, the Heat knew its fans, as well, and told everyone the pregame ceremony started at 7 p.m. It started it at 7:30 p.m. and everyone actually

was in seats by then. It couldn’t have gone better from there. They even had a perfect foil in a Philadelphia team that’s coasting to the playoffs and accepted a 122-99 beating by the Heat. Wade even got a telling matchup in Jimmy Butler. They were friends and teammates on that dismal Chicago team two seasons ago during Wade’s sabbatical from the Heat. So even that fit into the night. The larger moment came when Wade re-entered the game early in the fourth quarter. His friend, his body-guard, his (nearly) career-long teammate, Udonis Haslem, entered with him. Haslem, in his opening minutes, naturally drew an offensive foul. And that drew a loud cheer from the crowd. And then Wade banked in a 3-point shot. A louder cheer. Wade then stepped behind the line for yet

another 3-pointer. The loudest cheer. Then Haslem hit a shot. And Wade banked in another 3-pointer. And, well, you get the point of how it all went. The night seemed to be choreographed that way, in a good way. It wasn’t just Wade’s smile or his sons’ witnessing. Shaq and LeBron had videos saluting Wade. So did another retired kid from Chicago. “From all of us who are fans of the game,” former President Barack Obama said, “we just want to congratulate you for an extraordinary career, one for the record books. I hope the next chapter in your life is just as fulfilling, just as spectacular, as this one.” Then his younger son, Zion, who talked for a while before dispensing with the, “sweet stuff.” He looked into the camera. “Don’t lose your

last home game.” Dad didn’t. “I expect you go for at least 50,” Zaire then said. From near and far, Heat fans turn out to celebrate Dwyane Wade’s home finale Dad didn’t get that. He got 30 points. For a long while, it looked like he was content just to stay in the flow of the game rather than be the centerpiece of it. He had 13 points at half. He had 16 at the end of three quarters. But then came that fourth quarter when the shots kept coming, and the bank shots kept falling. At one point there in the end, after an actual miss, he fell into the front-row seats of his friends, singer John Legend and model Chrissy Teigen. They all laughed. It was that portion of this ending. Wade even threw a ball off the backboard and tried to dunk it home over a Philadelphia defender. OK, that didn’t work. Everything else did. The only sad part, the one cheered and cheered, was Tuesday had to come to an end. Wade was pulled to a career ovation with 62 seconds left. Or maybe that was the happy part? It was all a jumble of emotion by then. It stayed that way in the aftermath, as Wade exchanged jerseys with Butler. He posed for a team picture with the Heat players each holding a Wade jersey and Wade holding a jersey honoring his late agent, Henry Thomas. One final fling: He wanted to jump up on the court-side table one more time “My last words,” he said. “The moment I jumped up on the scorer’s table in, what, 2009, that’s when it became Wade County. That’s when it became my house. That’s how I wanted to end it.” He tried to jump up on the table and slipped down. Then a second time with a more pronounced fall. He made it up the third time “I ended it in D-Wade fashion,” he said. “Falling. Slipping. And getting right back up.” One final time he said, “This is my house.” And, with that, the greatest career in South Florida sports closed.

Magic Johnson steps down as Lakers’ President Scott Cacciola The New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — At the end of a disastrous season in which the Los Angeles Lakers failed to make the playoffs, despite having added LeBron James via free agency, Magic Johnson made the stunning announcement Tuesday that he was stepping down as the team’s president of basketball operations. Johnson delivered the news at an impromptu news conference before the Lakers’ regular-season finale, against the Portland Trail Blazers, and he said he had not yet informed Jeanie Buss, the team’s controlling owner. In fact, he had told nearly no one before he addressed a mass of hastily assembled reporters. “I couldn’t face her to tell her,” he said, referring to Buss. He later added that he would find her at Staples Center to address her in person. It was a surreal scene as Johnson fielded questions for nearly 45 minutes, appearing to hold back tears at times, and repeatedly said that he loved Buss like a sister. He then posed for pictures with team employees, former teammates and a local news anchor. “I want to go back to having fun,” Johnson said. “I want to go back to being who I was before taking on this job, and we’re halfway there with LeBron coming. I think this summer, with that other star coming in — whoever’s going to come in — I think this team is going to be in position to really contend for a championship with the growth of the other young players.” Johnson was named to the post in February 2017 and said at the time that it was “a dream come true.” But Tuesday he said that he wanted to get back to being a mentor and a businessman, and that he had felt limited in his ability to do those things in his current role. For example, he said he was upset that he could not attend Dwyane Wade’s final game for the Miami Heat on Tuesday night — or congratulate Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Twitter for finishing the regular season averaging another triple-double. (Johnson said the league would have considered it “tampering.”) Johnson also said that he had received a phone call last week from tennis star Serena

Williams, asking if he would be an adviser to her. “When Serena called me, wow, that’s who I am,” Johnson said. “I love helping people.” He added: “I like to be free. And then I got a great life outside of this. What am I doing? I

got a beautiful life, so I’m going to go back to that beautiful life, and I’m looking forward to it.” But there is palace intrigue at play, too — these are the Lakers, after all — and Johnson strongly indicated that he had been leaning toward

firing coach Luke Walton. Buss, though, is known to think highly of Walton, a former Laker who has been the team’s coach for three seasons, and Johnson suggested that he did not want to go through with it.

Defending Bubba Wallace, and how to cope with NASCAR’s money issue By Brendan Marks The Charlotte Observer (TNS)

No one likes talking about money — especially when there’s not enough of it to go around. So give Bubba Wallace a heck of a lot of credit for doing so. Two days before the most recent NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol, Conn., Wallace met with reporters to discuss the state of his season. And he let everything out in the open. “We are kind of behind. I think the biggest thing is dollar signs and over the years we have kind of tiptoed around that, but that’s enough of that. We are kind of behind on money,” Wallace said. That’s ... hard to admit. Here’s a 25-year-old in his second season at NASCAR’s highest level, driving one of the most famous cars in the sport’s history — the Richard Petty Motorsports No. 43 — and this is the situation he’s stuck in? Wallace has received plenty of buzz for being the first full-time African-American driver at the Cup level in almost 50 years, but that moniker has always ignored his true driving skills.

He’s not perfect, but someone with his charisma and personality and talent certainly deserves better than having to discuss financial issues. In a perfect world, he should be answering questions about continuing to improve in his sophomore season, or what it was like to lead laps at Bristol the year before. Instead ... “It’s all about being up front and being blunt. It’s coming down to a crucial time,” he continued. “I mean, we just have to start running better. I have asked why would new companies want to come in and sponsor the No. 43? You can play the race car number all you want. You will get a lot of attention, sure. “But for me, I’m competitive and look at results, and new companies don’t understand that. The more money you spend, the better you do.” It’s odd to hear anyone in sports speak so frankly and openly about financial troubles. NASCAR has more than its fair share of those, and yet, it’s often an extraneous or supplementary point in larger arguments. But to hear someone like Wallace — someone who’s

supposed to represent the best of NASCAR’s future — have to spill his guts, his frustration like that? It’s sad. Sad not in an ironic way, either. It’s genuinely sad, as in, you feel for Bubba. NASCAR fans want him to succeed. He’s a nice, talented guy with overflowing energy ... but instead of getting to harness that, he’s stuck answering for missing dollars and cents. Of course, some people will say, “Well, if he performed better, maybe money wouldn’t be as much of an issue.” True, but it’s much more complicated than that. NASCAR sponsorships are the lifeblood of the sport. Teams make as much as companies are willing to give them for partnerships and well-placed spots on their cars every week. Cars that run at the front, that get the primo TV time, that get more coverage in newspapers and on the radio — well, companies want to partner with them. It’s the most efficient use of their marketing dollars, which makes complete sense. Teams then take that money and invest it back into their cars, so they can continue running near the

lead — and of course, continue raking in those sponsorship dollars. It’s a self-fulfilling circle for the upper echelon of teams that fall into that loop. But for everyone else? For the people like Bubba Wallace? Less time up front means fewer sponsorships. Fewer sponsorships means less money teams can reinvest in their race programs. Investing less money in research and technology means teams don’t run up front as often. Rinse, repeat. It’s an inescapable loop, where the only options are to either: Run better (which requires more sponsorship money), or earn more sponsorships (which requires strong performances). Clearly, those two options aren’t options at all. Which all leads back to Wallace, and his graceful transparency this weekend. He didn’t have to address RPM’s struggling operation. He could’ve pulled the typical sports figure response, kept positive, and gotten out of his interview as quickly and painlessly as possible. But that’s not Bubba Wallace, and that’s why fans love him. Because he’s got passion, and he’s

going to wear it — whether it’s joy after a runner-up Daytona 500 finish or anger at his situation now — openly on his sleeve. There’s no easy solution to Wallace’s problem, nor for any of the other drivers in a similar position. If there were, the sport wouldn’t be grappling to maintain its place in the greater American sports landscape. But in NASCAR, it is increasingly becoming a case of the haves versus the have-nots, with sponsorships as the main determinant. Successful teams like Joe Gibbs Racing and Team Penske keep churning and growing bigger, while the less successful ones are fading more permanently into the background. NASCAR is better off with Bubba Wallace doing well. It’s better off being open and transparent with its shortcomings, just like Wallace was. But both those things come at a cost. And as we unfortunately saw with Wallace this weekend, there just isn’t anyone to foot either of those bills.

MASTERS 2019:

Who can win and who can but won’t Barry Svrluga The Washington Post

The Masters, the first major championship of the PGA Tour season, begins Thursday at Augusta National, and while winners are difficult to predict, longtime golf scribe Barry Svrluga selects five who can win the tournament, five who can but won’t and three who would make good picks if you enter a pool. FIVE WHO CAN WIN Rickie Fowler Age: 30 World ranking: 9 Best Masters finish: Second (2018) Best 2019 finish: First (Waste Management Phoenix Open) It’s hard to believe the dirtbike kid is now 30 - and still hasn’t won a major. Whether he has the game has never been the issue. There’s some evidence, though, that he now has the know-how. Last year, when the final round looked to be a duel between Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy, Fowler inserted himself with a 67 that included a birdie on the last hole, which put pressure on Reed. He has a win this season in Phoenix as well as a tie for second at the Honda Classic. He contends he’s far more prepared than ever to take the next step. All that’s left is to do it. Rory McIlroy Age: 29 World ranking: 3 Best Masters finish: Fourth (2015) Best 2019 finish: First (Players Championship) Enough time has passed since McIlroy’s infamous collapse at Augusta - eight years! - that it could be dismissed in assessing his current chances. Oddly, though, that 2011 experience - in which he led after 18, 36 and 54 holes, only to shoot a closing 80 - remains his defining Masters moment. Somehow, it overrides his Sunday final-pairing appearance with Patrick Reed a year ago in which he shot an indifferent 74 to finish tied for fifth. Still, two elements override those two Augusta scars: McIlroy’s talent, which remains immense, and his recent form, which is as good as anyone’s in the game. McIlroy has entered six stroke-play events worldwide in 2019. His worst finish: tied for sixth. Brooks Koepka Age: 28 World ranking: 4 Best Masters finish: Tied for 11th (2017) Best 2019 finish: Tied for second (Honda Classic) Koepka’s life has changed in the last two years, something that happens when you win three of the past seven majors. Yet even with two U.S. Opens and last year’s PGA Championship to his credit, he has a rather undistinguished record at Augusta National: three appearances, no top-10 finishes, just one round of 12 under 70. The reason for the belief in him this time is a bit odd: He missed last year’s Masters with a wrist injury. Watching the tournament on television, though, reminded him that he

negative feelings, has been completely different to me. Never have I had people holler out anything other than my last name. It’s been, um, different.” At the Genesis Open in L.A. in February, the usual goodnatured cries of “Koooooch!” from the gallery were on occasion replaced by another. “Mooooooch!” a few improvised. It was reported that one fan yelled out: “Go low, Kooch, go low. Just not on the gratuity.” Another wore a jacket with “Kuchar 0.38” painted on the back. Still another reportedly yelled, “Go Kooch! Don’t worry, I always root for the villain!” All this was completely outside anything experienced by the player who gained world notice as a Tech amateur lighting up the Masters in 1998 with a joy and an energy and a 21stplace finish. That vision of an

loved the game. And his powerful game is a fit here. In his three appearances, he has established that he owns the par 5s - 24 under, as opposed to 28 over on all other holes. That ability to score is essential to building a résumé capable of winning the Masters. Koepka can. Justin Rose Age: 38 World ranking: 1 Best Masters finish: Second (2017); tied for second (2015) Best 2019 finish: First (Farmers Insurance Open) Given his ability and experience, maybe the most surprising aspect of Rose’s career is he has won but one major - the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion. He’s not of an age where he’s fading from prominence; his spot atop the world rankings is an indication of that. But he’s also much closer to 40 than he is to 30, so the time is now. Rose’s best opportunity at Augusta came two years ago, when he lost a playoff to Sergio Garcia’s birdie on 18. His recent play here, though, has been stellar: Nine of his last 12 Masters rounds have been under par. He’s not the betting favorite at most sports books. There’s some evidence that he should be. Tiger Woods Age: 43 World ranking: 12 Best Masters finish: First (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005) Best 2019 finish: Tied for fifth (Dell Technologies Match Play) Woods is playing the Masters in back-to-back years for the first time since 2012-13, back before his body was ravaged by injuries - most recently to his back. Though he hasn’t finished better than tied for 10th in any of the four stroke-play events he has entered this calendar year, there are plenty of signs that his game is coming around. He is fourth on the PGA Tour in greens-inregulation, an indication that his iron play is where it needs to be - such an important aspect at Augusta National. Plus, he is buoyed by his victory at last September’s Tour Championship, an event in which both his back and his confidence held up. A year ago, he closed with a 69 here, the most recent of his 23 sub-70 rounds in the Masters. If he putts well, the rest of his game is in good enough shape to increase that number. FIVE WHO CAN WIN BUT WON’T Dustin Johnson Age: 34 World ranking: 2 Best Masters finish: Tied for fourth (2016) Best 2019 finish: First (Saudi International, WGC Mexico Championship) When he’s playing well, there’s no course that doesn’t suit Johnson’s game, which is both absolutely overpowering and feathery soft. But for someone with that much talent, his Masters record is spotty. He has never played in one of the final two groups on the weekend. He has never been among the top four on the leader board after any first, second or third round. He has as many

rounds over par as he does under par: 13. Would it be a shock if Johnson won a green jacket at some point? Absolutely not. But at the moment, there’s more evidence to suggest he won’t win than there is he will. Phil Mickelson Age: 48 World ranking: 22 Best Masters finish: First (2004, 2006, 2010) Best 2019 finish: First (AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am) Mickelson talks annually about how coming here frees his mind, which in turn frees his game. His record is, of course, exemplary: 11 top-five finishes in a history that dates back to 1991. And we know the magic is still possible because in 2015 he posted 14-under 274, a total that wins most years but was well behind meteoric Jordan Spieth that week. All that, though, masks Mickelson’s recent results here. Go back to 2013, and Mickelson’s Masters finishes are tied for 54th, missed cut, tied for second, missed cut, tied for 22nd and tied for 36th. He has broken 70 just four times in his last 20 rounds - and three of those were in that 2015 run. The notion of Mickelson winning a fourth green jacket is romantic. The problem is it’s not very realistic. Patrick Reed Age: 28 World ranking: 18 Best Masters finish: First (2018) Best 2019 finish: Tied for 13th (twice) The reason for picking against Reed is easy: He isn’t playing well. Since winning the Masters a year ago, he hasn’t won. In 10 starts this year, he doesn’t have a single top-10 finish and has placed in the top 20 just three times. Plus, there’s some dark history with recent defending champions at Augusta. Danny Willett won in 2016 and hasn’t broken par in four rounds since, missing the cut twice. Sergio Garcia won in 2017 and somehow followed that by going 81-78 and missing the cut by a mile last year. Something says a missed cut is far more likely than a back-to-back champ. Jordan Spieth Age: 25 World ranking: 33 Best Masters finish: First (2015) Best 2019 finish: Tied for 24th (Dell Technologies Match Play) The idea that Spieth could play 15 consecutive tournaments without a top-10 finish - a streak he carries into this week - would have seemed inconceivable even a year ago. Yet here we are, with what seemed to be a generational star trying to find himself. Spieth’s Masters record remains absurd: five appearances, one win, two ties for second, a third and a tie for 11th. He has held the solo lead following nine of the 20 rounds he has completed at Augusta National. Yet his recent record overrides all that. His last victory came at the 2017 British Open. Since last year’s Masters, he has more missed cuts (five) than finishes in the top 20 (three).

That’s hard to believe, but it’s a strong indication he won’t win this week. Justin Thomas Age: 25 World ranking: 5 Best Masters finish: Tied for 17th (2018) Best 2019 finish: Second (Genesis Open) Thomas’ talent, competitiveness, demeanor and résumé all suggest he should be an annual factor here. Though he hasn’t won this year, his form is reasonable: two thirds, a second and a ninth since the turn of the year. Yet his Masters record, mysteriously, kind of stinks. In 12 competitive rounds, he has broken 70 just once. The closest he has come to sniffing contention was last year - sixth after 36 holes and ninth after 54 - that quickly evaporated with a Sunday 73. Such a spotty record suggests Thomas has more work to do at Augusta, specifically, before he’s ready to win here. THREE TO ADD IN YOUR POOL Matthew Fitzpatrick Age: 24 World ranking: 35 Best Masters finish: Tied for seventh (2016) Best 2019 finish: Second (Arnold Palmer Invitational) It’s only a matter of time before Fitzpatrick, the slight Englishman, breaks out. Why not here? He’s long and savvy enough to master the par-5s, on which he’s 16 under in his 14 Masters rounds. He has a runner-up finish to Francesco Molinari last month in Orlando. He is a player others might overlook, so snag him. Charlie Hoffman Age: 42 World ranking: 66 Best Masters finish: Tied for ninth (2015) Best 2019 finish: Second (Valero Texas Open) Hoffman was a safe pick even before his runner-up finish at the PGA Tour’s most recent stop in San Antonio. The journeyman isn’t a regular contender in majors, but he knows his way around Augusta quite well. He led after the first and second rounds in 2017. He was second headed into the weekend in 2015. And while he hasn’t closed well on Sunday, he’s worth a shot in a pool that rewards steady finishes. Cameron Smith Age: 25 World ranking: 28 Best Masters finish: Tied for fifth (2018) Best 2019 finish: Tied for sixth (WGC Mexico Championship) The young Australian surged into the top five a year ago with a final-round 66, the fourth straight day he shot par or better. He has shown the ability to close, twice winning the Australian PGA Championship and gaining a PGA Tour victory in New Orleans - a team event he took with Jonas Blixt. Need someone off the radar? Smith counts.

easygoing, always-smiling player followed him through the next 19 years while he was winning nine times on the PGA Tour and earning more than $48 million. Then overnight he became the multi-millionaire quibbling over a few thousand dollars with a guy who had done the heavy lifting during a huge payday. Paul Azinger watched all this unfold from the sidelines as one of the more outspoken TV analysts out there. And was surprised and disappointed. “I know he wants to let it die, and I’m sure he wishes he would have (initially) paid the caddie more,” Azinger said. “He should have paid the caddie right, up front. I never underpaid my caddies, ever. Because they needed the money, that’s the way I looked at it. I know he wishes he would have done that differently. “Kooch is such a good guy, I kinda want to take lumps for him. But you can’t — just let him take his own lumps on that one,” Azinger said. Masters week is a good time

to put all bad feelings aside because, well, no one gets jeered at Augusta National (OK, maybe Ian Woosnam, once, a long time ago in a most minor way). They take politeness to extremes here and have turned civility into a tradition. Having played his college golf at Bobby Jones’ school and living in Georgia (St. Simons Island) doesn’t hurt Kuchar’s rep around this track, either. Kuchar can expect nothing but warmth here. And, Azinger said, he should expect no long-range fallout from the Mexico affair. “He still will be (a popular player). And I don’t think it’s going to affect him,” he said. It won’t hurt his standing, either, that Kuchar may be playing as well as he ever has entering this tournament. He has two victories this season and a second in world match play two weeks ago. But he knows in his heart that guarantees nothing this week. “Anyone who has played has had a great day on Thursday and goes to course Friday

and said, ‘What happened?’ “ Kuchar said. “I think I understand the game I play — it’s not something that you own. Because I won in January doesn’t mean I’m going to win in April. There is still a lot of work to do.” But he’s feeling it. “I’m 40 now. I still feel like I’m 26. I still feel young, like there’s an excitement for each event — particularly Augusta and the Masters tournament. “I’ve had a few close encounters (three top-5 Masters finishes since 2012), and I feel my game has continued to improve. I feel like this is as good as I’ve been. I hope to make a good run. If I continue my good play, I certainly can be in contention. I don’t show up just thinking I’ll make a cut and have a nice week. I show up with greater intentions than that.” However he plays, cries of “Kooooch” will echo through the pines — no variations on that theme allowed. Because anything else just wouldn’t be Masters-ly.

Mom ‘reclaims’ the things she gave to her daughters My mother moved in with my sister in California around 1993. After 20 years, I asked her what she wanted to do with her storage unit, which was still in Arizona. Long story short, she said: “Clear it out. I don’t even know what’s in there. Take whatever you DEAR ABBY want, keep the pictures and give the rest to Goodwill.” My sisters have the same recollection. Over the next three or four years, my sisters and I proceeded to do so. Mom has moved in with me now, at 80 years old, and says she may be moving out into her own place in the future. The items I use in my household are starting to disappear. She says she’s reclaiming them. I told her they are things I use and that she gave them to us years ago. Who is correct? Should I keep the items as mine? Or should my mother be able to take them back after specifically giving them up, since they have been integrated into our households? Cleared Out In The West

Your mother may be having some memory glitches, or may regret giving up her independence and the items that symbolize it. Do not be defensive. Tell her that when she has a place of her own “in the future,” you will gladly return any items she needs. Do not let this degenerate into an argument. She has been living with your sister — and now you — over the last 26 years for a reason. Some seniors move in with their children because they are medically or financially unable to manage on their own. My husband likes to wear my underwear,

and it grosses me out. He knows I don’t approve and promises he won’t do it again, but he does. I can’t even stand to look at him. What should I do? Disturbed In Texas The first thing to do would be to understand that not every woman who is married to a cross-dresser feels as strongly as you do about it. Do some research about cross-dressing — its causes and why some men feel the compulsion to do it. If after that you are still grossed out and unable to understand why your husband needs to do this, it may be time to schedule some marriage counseling to see if your marriage can be saved.

There are several diseases that may cause fibrosis of the lung, so having an exact diagnosis made by an expert is critical for getting the right treatment. The most common type of pulmonary fibrosis is called “idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis” (it also has been called “usual interstitial pneumonia” and “cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis”), and I am going to discuss that diagnosis. The cause of IPF is unknown (both “idiopathic” and “cryptogenic” mean “of unknown cause”), but cigarette smoking is a risk factor. It is usually diagnosed in people who are their 50s and 60s, although some familial cases may come on earlier. IPF can run in families. Although it is a rare disease, it seems to be on the rise. The major symptoms are cough and

Children should not be gifted with pets until they are old enough — and responsible enough — to care for them. Adorable chicks and baby bunnies have been squeezed or neglected to death because the children had no concept of how they should be treated. And even when the children ARE old enough, the parents should first agree that the little creature is welcome.

Exact diagnosis is critical to treatment of pulmonary fibrosis My husband was recently diagnosed with mild to moderate pulmonary fibrosis. His mother died from pulmonary fibrosis. From what we have read there is no cure, only palliative care. The thought of doing nothing to try to stop the progression is totally unacceptable when there have been such successes with TO YOUR immunotherapy and stem GOOD HEALTH cells. Would he receive more aggressive treatment going to a pulmonary fibrosis care center that has lung disease programs?

shortness of breath. There is no cure for IPF, but there are treatments available. Two drugs, pirfenidone and nintedanib, are approved for use in the U.S. and Canada. Both of them slow progression of lung disease, reduce exacerbations and have been proven to reduce mortality from the condition, if only slightly. I am concerned that you and your husband apparently haven’t heard of these drugs. I strongly advise you get a referral to a center for lung disease in order to get your husband the best care. I found 35 IPF trials recruiting patients in the U.S. and six in Canada. A clinical trial will help scientists understand this condition as well as determine the best current treatment. You also can find out what centers have expertise on this condition by seeing where the trials are conducted at www.clinicaltrials.gov. The most aggressive treatment isn’t always the best, but you and your husband deserve to hear about all the options. The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation can help you find experienced centers for treating this condition. You can find them online at www.pulmonaryfibrosis.org.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are not the most patient person in the world, and even those born under this or other recognizably impatient signs credit you with being perhaps the most impatient person they have ever known. You are capable of waiting when required to do so, but you’re not about to waste time doing nothing while waiting for something to happen. With those who know you best, you can be rather vocal in your reactions to delays, and this is no doubt how you won your reputation for being impatient. You feel things strongly, and you only jump into something you feel some visceral, emotional connection toward. Others marvel at your ability to dedicate yourself so completely to tasks that seem mundane, but they don’t understand that you find something of great value in everything you do, during every moment of every day. Also born on this date are: Joss Stone, singer; Joel Grey, actor; Jennifer Esposito, actress; Ethel Kennedy, wife of Robert F. Kennedy; Meshach Taylor, actor; Lisa Stansfield, singer; Louise Lasser, actress; Dean Acheson, statesman; Bill Irwin, actor and clown. To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. FRIDAY, APRIL 12 ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You can expect to face a few critics today after doing something that is, by some, considered a no-no. Things could be changing, however. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may have to turn down a job offer today or tomorrow simply because of the changes it would require you to make.

Stay the course. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You have what it takes to get the job done, but you may have to clear some activities with someone who enjoys being in charge too much. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Fitting everything into the time you have available today may be like putting together an intricate puzzle; you must apply serious brainpower. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can give someone exactly what he or she wants or needs today without doing anything to threaten what you have going on behind the scenes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You may have to take over from someone today because of a scheduling snafu that favors you and puts him or her at a disadvantage. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may feel the need to explain yourself when all is said and done, but for now you needn’t give a thought to why you must do a certain thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may have to fight mental or emotional fatigue today as you move against an obstacle that threatens to derail an important endeavor. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You’ve been before where you are today, and that’s going to give you a distinct advantage over the competition. You can win! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — What you expect is not likely to come to pass today, and what you least expect may well be fully evolved by day’s end. Get used to surprises. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — The behavior of a loved one concerns you today, but there is little you can do yet to keep disaster at bay. The time will come. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Now is no time to throw caution to the wind. Indeed, you must be more careful than usual as you and a friend face a certain challenge.
