CATSKILL — Village residents can expect higher water bills in the coming months to pay for system improvements, officials said. The board of trustees passed a resolution in February authorizing a $250,000 bond to replace a filtration unit in the water plant, purchase new water meters for residences and install new billing software. The bond will be repaid in quarterly payments of $15,000 for five years, village officials said. To accommodate the debt

David Hardy, of Catskill, thought the findings proved the investigation was politically motivated. “Finally the truth can come out,” Hardy said. “It was a sham, it was all made up. I believe it was made up and all the

information we have shows it was made up. This was a completely politically charged investigation based on no information and not based on reality except for the fact that he won. That was the only information they were going by — he became president, Hillary didn’t, so they created a fake investigation.”

Though Mueller and investigators examined 10 episodes in which it was possible the president may have obstructed justice, Mueller said he could not reach a conclusion. “The evidence we obtained about the president’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be See MUELLER A2

Fardush Sultan

HUDSON — A community mourned Thursday the loss of a beloved daughter, sister and friend, Fardush Sultana, who died Wednesday at a Utica college. Sultana, a junior at SUNY Polytechnic Institute, died at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Utica from a mysterious head injury. She was 20. Sultana was taken to the hospital on the evening of April 8 for an unexplained head injury while she was in her dormitory room. The incident is still under investigation by state and university police, according to a statement from the college. Sultana’s family declined to release details of her injury. “Words can’t express the loss of such an untimely death,” family friend Abdus Miah said. “May Allah bless her with Jannah. Our deepest condolences and prayers for her family and loved ones.” Sultana was a 2016 graduate of Hudson High School. She is survived by her parents Parveen Ahster and Abdul Bashar, and two sisters, Farzana and Fariah, according to the SUNY Polytechnic’s web-

site. Sultana was studying civil engineering, according to a statement from the college. Sultana was an “outstanding” student who touched many lives, college President Grace Wang said Thursday. “Fardush was a student-athlete, a member of the cross-country team that won the NEAC Championship this past fall, and she gave her time as a phone-a-thon participant,” according to a statement released by the college. “She was also part of the Residential Life family, serving as a student assistant in the office. She was very active in the SUNY Poly community through her involvement in the After Hours Activity Board where she served as social media coordinator and the Black and Latino Student Association.” Outside of school activities, Sultana worked as a student assistant in the office of Residential Life. The Zanazah, or the Islamic funeral prayers recited in the Islamic funeral rite, will be held at Hudson High School gymnasium, 215 Harry Howard Ave., Friday at 1:45 p.m. Attendees are asked to enter See WOMAN A2

The village has to replace about 1,000 meters, McGrath said. Master Meter, the company that handles the village’s meter system, will install the new billing software in three weeks, McGrath said. “We had to wait for the last billing cycle to end,” he said. Residents will now have the option to pay their bills online. The village has had ongoing issues with water-main breaks and discoloration due to aging infrastructure and weather conditions. Seeley wants to start replacing sections of the 120-yearold water main in the 2019 capital plan, he said. The village does not have figures drawn up yet for the capital plan.

at was Trump’s decision to fire former FBI director James Comey in May 2017, as well as an attempt by the president one month later to have his White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, fire Mueller. Mueller also looked at the president’s efforts to hide details of a meeting with Russians at Trump Tower during the election and to pressure Jeff Sessions, then the attorney general, to reverse his decision to recuse himself from overseeing the investigation. Prior to the report’s release Thursday, controversy was stirred when Attorney General William Barr held a news conference and strongly came out in Trump’s defense, saying investigators “found no evidence” that any member of the Trump campaign had conspired with Russia. Barr added that even if the Trump campaign did collude with the website WikiLeaks during the election, it was not a crime. In addressing Trump’s actions, Barr said the president had no corrupt intent and that his actions that some saw as impeding the investigation were a result of being “frustrated and angered by his sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his presidency, propelled by his

political opponents and fueled by illegal leaks.” Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi released a joint statement challenging some of Barr’s comments with regard to obstruction of justice. “The differences are stark between what Attorney General Barr said on obstruction and what Special Counsel Mueller said on obstruction,” according to the statement. “As we continue to review the report, one thing is clear: Attorney General Barr presented a conclusion that the president did not obstruct justice while Mueller’s report appears to undercut that finding.” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, DN.Y., also a presidential candidate in 2020, called for Mueller to testify before Congress. “Now that the Mueller report is public, the American people deserve full transparency and accountability,” Gillibrand said in a statement. “The Senate should hold publlic hearings on the investigation with major witnesses and Mueller should testify to his findings. And give Congress the full, unredacted report.” Trump, meanwhile, responded to the report at an event at the White House and saw it as vindication.

“It’s called ‘no collusion, no obstruction,’” Trump said. “There never was, by the way, and there never will be.” The president also characterized the investigation as a hoax, as he has done many times in the past. “This should never happen to another president again, this hoax,” Trump said. During the investigation Trump refused to be interviewed in person, and Mueller did not attempt to force the issue with a subpoena. Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-102, called the investigation a “national distraction” for two years. An investigation has been conducted, a report has been released, and now it’s time to move on,” Tague said. “It’s distracted our federal officials from lowering taxes, from looking for more alternative sources of energy and making college more affordable. People are struggling and Congress should be focused on ways to help our middle class, not continue their fixation on our President. It’s far past time that we get back to work, the American people deserve it.” The New York Times News Service contributed to this report.

traditional prosecutorial judgment,” Mueller wrote. “At the same time, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state.” While Mueller could not reach a conclusion about whether a crime had been committed, he also said he could not put the president in the clear. “Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment,” Mueller wrote. “Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.” Locally, some residents said they had no feelings about the investigation, calling it business as usual in Washington. “It’s just politics. It doesn’t interest me,” said Dorothy Ross, of Hudson. Richard Montgomery, of Germantown, agreed. “Washington will do what Washington will do. It doesn’t affect me,” Montgomery said.

be on and running by the end of next week,” he said. The filter was 20 years old and cost about $90,000 to replace because it cracked, McGrath said. There are two other filters in the plant. DPW crews will work on replacing the 13-year-old water meters throughout the course of the summer, McGrath said. “You can radio-read them from the trucks so you don’t have to go in people’s homes,” McGrath said of the new meters. The upgrade is more efficient in terms of manpower, he said. “Before, if you got half the houses done you were lucky,” McGrath said. “Now you need one guy out there instead of five and you can do it all in one day instead of a week.”

tive, quality drinking water is one of the keys to creating a better place to live and visit. We are aggressively applying for several water infrastructure grants that will aid us in future improvements and rate stabilization efforts.” Village residents and business owners reacted to the news Thursday. Kristi Gibson, a village resident and owner of Magpie Bookshop, thinks the increase would have little impact on her. “I try to conserve as much water as possible,” Gibson said, adding that her bills are typically quite low. Village resident Roz Vie-

meister, owner of Shoofly, thinks the raise was necessary. “Nobody likes to have the rates be raised but if it means fixing the old infrastructure, than so be it,” she said. “That’s what taxes are for — betterment of the community.” The village also sees the opportunity for growth, Seeley said. “We are in very good shape with about a 50% safe yield,” he said. “In other words, we could expand our usage by 30% to 40% without any major capital investment. For us, water is a commodity and can be offered at a cost to other municipalities.” The village Department of Public Works has begun working on the upgrades, DPW Superintendent Michael McGrath said. “The filtration unit should

Pope Francis dropped in again this week on his predecessor, Pope emeritus Benedict XVI, wishing him happy birthday “with particular affection” in a now familiar showing of white-cloaked cordiality. But behind the friendly visit, the talk of conspiracies and competing power centers is swirling inside the Vatican and far beyond. Just last week, Benedict, who turned 92 on Tuesday, released a 6,000-word letter holding forth on his views on the

origins of the Roman Catholic Church’s clerical sex abuse crisis — effectively undercutting Francis on a contentious issue that has roiled his papacy. For many church experts, the letter marked the most recent, and egregious, example of why having two popes — whose homes are separated by a few hundred meters but whose style, substance and visions of the church are vastly apart — can be so confusing to the faithful. To be clear, Francis is the pope and is in charge. He is

the one who can promulgate dogma and whose papal pronouncements when speaking “ex cathedra” — with the authority of the office — on questions of faith and morals are considered infallible. Benedict gave all that up — including the infallibility — when he stepped down. “What is happening is what many of us hoped would not happen,” said Massimo Faggioli, a professor of theology and religious studies at Villanova University, who is supportive of Francis. “The idea of a double

papacy is really, really disruptive.” Speculation has mounted that Benedict has been used as a stalking horse by conservative ideological opponents of Francis, whose more pastoral, inclusive and less dogmatic approach to the pontificate they consider destructive. There has also been debate over whether Francis’ lieutenants blocked Benedict’s letter from being submitted to the church leaders gathered for February’s unprecedented summit on clerical sex abuse.

the district. “Fardush will be remembered for her smiling face and friendly demeanor,” according to a statement released by the Hudson City School District. “Fardush worked to improve the lives of those around her and continued to be a proud member of the Bluehawk community after graduation.”

HFD sets gold standard for volunteerism Question: Outside of saving people’s lives, when does a fire department make history? Answer: When the fire department has been in service for 225 years and is the oldest volunteer squad in New York state. The Hudson Fire Department marked its amazing anniversary Wednesday with a party at City Hall and invited dozens of friends and supporters to share the celebration. In 1794, the first 19 Hudson firefighters were appointed to protect the city. The 19 were members of the first organized fire department in the state. To put things in perspective, when the Hudson Fire Department was formed, George Washington was president

of the United States, Congress changed the U.S. flag to 15 stars and 15 stripes, the U.S. government established a permanent navy and the first session of the United States Senate was open to the public. Today, under the rubric “Pride is our pay,” the department’s 80 active members regularly suit up to answer the fire alarm, anytime, day or night. In 2018, the city’s bravest answered an astonishing 425 calls – the highest number since 2003 – averaging more than a call a day. Even more astonishing, the HFD is a volunteer department after more than two centuries, even as volunteer departments fall by the wayside in an era of more

stringent training and demands imposed by jobs and families. Indeed, if pride is the reward, then the city should be proud of its fire department. The story of the Hudson Fire Department is all the more amazing because it still operates today with all volunteers. And there is no sign that interest in serving with the department is waning. The Hudson Fire Department and its impressive record set a gold standard for volunteerism, both in the city and in the Twin Counties. At a time when many ask what’s in it for me, the firefighters of Hudson continue to serve their city selflessly, asking for nothing but the pride of their community in return.

YouTube fail over Notre Dame underscores how online platforms need humans The Washington Post

A structure billows with smoke at its tallest point and then crumbles. Any human this week would have recognized this image of destruction as the burning of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. A machine at YouTube, however, did not: It saw 9/11 instead. YouTube’s tool for appending accurate information to sensitive content failedMonday when Notre Dame’s spire fell from the sky. Instead of providing details about the event alongside three news accounts’ live streams, or simply leaving those videos unannotated, YouTube’s algorithm added a box explaining the attack on the twin towers more than 17 years ago. The mishap was at once ironic and instructive. YouTube built its “information panels” to fight misinformation, in response in part to a conspiracy theory accusing a survivor of the Parkland, Florida, high school shooting in February 2018 of being

a “crisis actor” that ended up trending on its platform. Yet by linking what appears to have been an awful accident to terrorism, the panels promoted hoaxes and confusion across social media sites. There’s a lesson there: As platforms finally start to take responsibility for their role in curating what appears on their turf, they must recognize that real responsibility means that for the foreseeable future, humans - not only machines — will have to do much of the work. Though YouTube pledged in late 2017 to have more than10,000 moderators, and Facebook reportedly has about 15,000, some continue to insist that algorithms are the eventual answer to the scourge of illegal and otherwise dangerous content. YouTube’s decision to base its information panel project on the judgments of computers was a case in point. The company was trying, rightly, to correct for users’ fondness for hoaxes. Certainly, human review

cannot possibly be applied to every addition to a worldwide open platform the way editors watch over traditional media. That is the price we pay for access to such far-reaching stores of information. But as effective and efficient as machines may be at enforcing basic rules, and as essential as they are for triaging inundations of posts and uploads, there are some things they may never do “better” than we can with our own flawed minds. Perhaps someday the algorithms of companies such as YouTube will be able to distinguish one burning building from another. Right now, though, the assumption should be not that these systems will inevitably save us but the opposite: that these systems, at least for now, will fall short. And in the most sensitive cases, such as the misinformation epidemic that YouTube’s panels were designed to help contain, people - not only programs — need to be paying attention.

James Downie The Washington Post

Monday was supposed to be a rough day for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. First, the Vermont senator and candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination would finally release 10 years of tax returns after months of footdragging; many assumed the returns must contain something bad if their release was so delayed. And, that evening, he would take part in a Fox News town hall, against the wishes of many Democrats who wanted him to boycott Fox News or who feared the cable network would embarrass him. But his tax returns turned out to be “boring” - just as he’d promised. The town hall was a ratings smash and spawned several viral moments, including when the audience overwhelmingly cheered for Medicare-forall. The “avowed socialist,” as political journalists like to describe him, sailed through the toughest day of the campaign with flying colors. And he remains the strongest candidate in the polls behind former Vice President Joe Biden. No wonder the Democratic establishment is starting to worry. “Many Democrats, especially donors and party officials,” writes The New York Times’ Jonathan Martin, “. . . are growing more alarmed about Mr. Sanders’s candidacy.” Martin continues: “The matter of What To Do About Bernie and the larger imperative of party unity has, for example, hovered over a series of previously undisclosed Democratic dinners in New York and Washington organized by the longtime party financier Bernard Schwartz. The gatherings have included scores from the moderate or

center-left wing of the party, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California; Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader; former Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia; Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., himself a presidential candidate; and the president of the Center for American Progress, Neera Tanden.” To be sure, all contested primaries see factions plotting to stop other factions’ candidate. But the sweep of the opposition named here is striking. The House speaker, the Senate minority leader, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, the head of the most powerful liberal think tank, and the new darling of center-left Democrats - that’s a murderer’s row of eminences. When Barack Obama jumped in against Hillary Clinton during the 2008 election, for example, he had key party figures such as thenSenate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada in his corner. Sanders has no such allies. At the root of this is the power of the dollar. As The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel pointed out, what scares Democrats most about a Sanders nomination is “the thing they can’t really say: Howard Schultz would charge in and hand the election to Trump.” Furthermore, while there’s little polling evidence to suggest Democratic voters would abandon the party if Sanders were the nominee - he polls as well or better against President Donald Trump than any other contender aside from Biden - there’s plenty of reason to think that Democratic donors may do so. Martin reports on a gathering of “about 100 wealthy liberal donors in San Francisco last month” worried at the prospect of a Sanders nomination, for

example, and it’s no coincidence that the series of “Stop Sanders” dinners reported in the Times’ story has been organized by a major donor to the party. Beyond donor skepticism, there will also be attacks from business interests. On Tuesday, for example, UnitedHealthcare CEO Steve Nelson pointedly attacked Sanders’ Medicare-for-all proposal, saying it would “destabilize the nation’s health system.” This follows The Post’s Jeff Stein’s report that the health insurance industry is lobbying Democrats intensely to reject more progressive health care plans that “would effectively legislate many of the companies out of existence.” On this and other issues, a Sanders-led ticket would face more corporate spending against it in the general election than almost any Democratic nominee aside from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. So establishment Democrats are right that Sanders would face certain obstacles that most other potential nominees wouldn’t - namely, that more big paid-for megaphones will be turned against him. In the worst-case scenario, a billionaire would all but buy a campaign and likely hand Trump reelection. But rather than confront what that says about our political system, establishment Democrats are fanning the fears. They will tell you, of course, that they share the same goals: fixing health care, fighting inequality, taking on climate change and so on. But as recent decades have showed, progress toward those goals will never be better than halting so long as moneyed interests are allowed to remain so powerful. Not actively fighting this broken system only helps perpetuate it.

A judge should give Barr’s redactions on the Mueller report an independent check The Washington Post

As Washington prepared for the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report, a fight was brewing between House Democrats and the Justice Department about how much would be redacted. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, DN.Y., has prepared a subpoena demanding disclosure of the whole document to Congress. Attorney General William Barr has steadfastly insisted that information that is classified, stemming from secret grand jury proceedings or otherwise sensitive would not be revealed publicly. Barr is essentially asking Congress and the public to take him at his word that his redactions will be proper. There is already cause for wariness about Barr’s judgment, following reports that those who worked on the Mueller investigation felt that the summary the attorney general released last month inadequately represented their findings. The fact that Barr rejected the notion that Trump obstructed justice, even though Mueller made no determination on the matter,

is another concerning sign about what the attorney general is thinking. More importantly, Barr works for an administration preparing for all-out war with Congress over all sorts of disclosure, which would be only the latest in a string of bad-faith rejections of federal rules and traditional norms. Regardless of the attorney general’s reputation, he still works for an administration that long ago lost any benefit of the doubt on transparency and fair play. There may be no satisfying end to this national saga until an independent referee steps in to sort out the controversy. Reggie Walton, a U.S. district judge, raised on Tuesday one possibility for further review. Accusing Barr of creating “an environment that has caused a significant part of the public . . . to be concerned about whether or not there is full transparency,” the judge raised the possibility that he would demand an unredacted copy to review whether the Justice Department’s omissions were warranted. We hope he follows through. Walton could ensure that the redactions followed Freedom of Information Act

procedures and were not influenced by political considerations. That would still leave the question of whether Congress should have full access to the unredacted document, as Democrats want. Separate legal proceedings initiated by House Democrats would have to consider tricky questions of what one branch of government owes another. Transparency won out during the Watergate crisis and in the Bill Clinton impeachment battle. Even if judges determine that some elements of the Mueller report cannot be shared with the public, members of Congress have a serious claim that they should have wider access, as they do regularly to classified information in other contexts. The Mueller investigation and its report have consumed national attention for many months, and rightly so: They concern a foreign attack on the nation’s democracy, the reactions of the country’s leaders and the task that faces policymakers in securing democratic institutions against future intrusions. This is not a time for timidity on transparency.

France debates how to rebuild Notre Dame, weighing history and modernity Aurelien Breeden The New York Times News Service

PARIS — The ashes have barely settled from the devastating fire that tore through the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, but even as France paid tribute Thursday to the firefighters who saved the structure and its relics, there was a growing debate about how the Gothic landmark should be rebuilt. Workers are still focused largely on shoring up the damaged structure, but how closely the planned reconstruction should adhere to the original design and materials has become a point of contention in a nation long accustomed to arguing over the balance between modernity and cultural heritage. President Emmanuel Macron gave the debate particular urgency when he said the cathedral would be rebuilt within five years, a time frame that some experts have called too optimistic. Some of Macron’s political opponents have even accused him of wanting to rush the restoration in order to have the cathedral ready in time for the 2024 Olympic Games, which will be held in Paris. Franck Riester, the French culture minister, said Thursday that the government would strive to meet the timeline set out by the president, but he also cautioned that rebuilding the cathedral could take more time. “One mustn’t mix speed and hurriedness,” he told the BFM TV news channel, adding that he did not think that Notre Dame would remain fully closed for the duration of the construction. At midday Thursday, hundreds of members of the Paris Fire Brigade filed into the Élysée Palace, the president’s official residence, for a reception honoring the 500 firefighters who worked for hours to extinguish the flames and to save the precious artworks and relics stored in the cathedral. “The country and the whole world were watching us, and you were exemplary,” Macron told the firefighters, according to French news reports. Riester, the culture minister, said that while the cathedral’s structure as a whole was sound, there were still several “major weaknesses.” “It’s emergency after emergency,” he told BFM TV, adding that the worst had been avoided “thanks to the exceptional work of the firefighters.” The gable of the northern transept was strengthened overnight, he said. But the western gable, between the two bell towers, is leaning because of the weight of an angel statue, which was to be removed Thursday. Riester also said that part of the southern belfry was “so heated that the stone is completely friable,” leaving

a risk that some chimeras — the famous snarling or horned creatures that are perched on the cathedral — might fall. Some of them were also set to be removed Thursday. The fire at Notre Dame, which was built in the 12th and 13th centuries, destroyed most of the attic, a latticework of heavy wooden beams and the lead roof above it. As the burning debris fell, it punched three holes through the vaulted stone ceiling inside the cathedral. Riester said there was still a risk that other parts of the ceiling could collapse, and workers were expected to remove rubble that was weighing on it. Private donors have given or pledged nearly $1 billion for reconstruction, and the number continues to climb. Prime Minister Édouard Philippe has said that the government will present legislation to ease the bureaucratic and legal obstacles that usually delay construction projects. One of the richest men in France, François-Henri Pinault, and his family put

up 100 million euros, or $113 million, and the family of another, Bernard Arnault, committed 200 million euros, prompting complaints that they would be eligible for big tax breaks and were more concerned for Notre Dame than for struggling working people. The Pinaults said Wednesday that they would not seek a tax deduction for their contribution, and Arnault said Thursday that he and his family were not eligible for one. The deluge of contributions — now centralized on a government platform — suggested that renovation efforts would not be hampered by a lack of funding. Instead, much of the debate has focused on whether the cathedral’s attic and spire should be rebuilt as they were or if newer materials, techniques and designs should be favored. “Something contemporary will be safer and faster to rebuild,” said Christiane Schmuckle-Mollard, an architect who worked on the restoration of Strasbourg’s cathedral in the early 2000s.

Man with two full gas cans arrested after entering St. Patrick’s Cathedral Niraj Chokshi The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — A 37-year-old New Jersey man carrying a pair of full two-gallon cans of gasoline was arrested Wednesday night after entering St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, police said. The man entered the cathedral just before 8 p.m. but was turned away by a church security officer, according to John Miller, the Police Department’s deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism. As the man exited, some gasoline spilled on the floor. The security officer then notified two police officers outside the cathedral, who caught

up to the man and began to question him. While he was cooperative, his answers were inconsistent and evasive, Miller said at a news conference. “His basic story was that he was cutting through the cathedral to get to Madison Avenue, that his car had run out of gas,” Miller said. “We took a look at the vehicle. It was not out of gas, and at that point he was taken into custody.” The man was also carrying two bottles of lighter fluid and two extended butane lighters, Miller said. The man was uninjured and the church was undamaged. “The individual was stopped as he tried to come into the cathedral,” the

Archdiocese of New York said in a statement. The man, the statement continued, “was turned over to the police. Nothing happened inside the cathedral.” Charges were not immediately filed against the man, whose name the police did not release. “He is known to police,” Miller said, without elaborating. The encounter happened two days after a fire tore through the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, one of that city’s most famous monuments. Investigators are still looking into the specific cause of that fire, though it was believed to be accidental.

a French architect who recently designed a Russian orthodox cathedral in Paris, told Franceinfo radio Thursday that rebuilding a “pastiche” of the destroyed spire, which was added to the cathedral in the 19th century, would be “grotesque.” Wilmotte said he would take part in the government’s international competition to design a new spire and that he was in favor of using modern materials like steel or titanium rather than older, heavier ones like wood and lead. Nothing has been decided, and some experts noted that the cathedral has been altered before, including between 1844 and 1864. In that period, a new spire was erected to replace an earlier one, flying buttresses were redone, and new features were added, including the chimeras. Macron said Wednesday that he was not opposed to replacing the spire with “a contemporary architectural gesture.” But his opponents, especially on the political right, grumbled at the suggestion that Notre-Dame might get a modern makeover. Marine Le Pen, head of the far-right National Gathering party, responded to a tweet by the prime minister promoting the architectural contest with the hashtag #Don’tTouchNotreDame. François-Xavier Bellamy, a candidate for the rightwing Républicains party in the European elections next month, said, “Before proclaiming ourselves builders, let us recognize first that we are inheritors.” “Notre Dame de Paris does not belong to us,” he added. “We are the first to see it burn: Our only duty is to restore her, with the patience that an absolute masterpiece requires, to pass it on the way we received it.”

Hudson Hall presents Nora Burns ‘David’s Friend’ HUDSON - Hudson Hall presents David’s Friend, the critically acclaimed onewoman show by Nora Burns. Written and performed by Burns with direction by Adrienne Truscott, dramaturgy by Lucy Sexton, and visual collaboration by Len Whitney, David’s Friend is the story of a crazy friendship in 1980’s New York City — a restless city during a reckless time. It’s a comic odyssey about cruising, disco, drag queens, strippers, sex, love, loss, and AIDS, told with music, videos, costumes, characters, tall tales and torrid truths. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at hudsonhall.org or by phone at (518) 822-1438. David’s Friend is an achingly funny coming-of-age story about love and loss at the center of the universe: New York City. It’s a true-life epic about Nora and David, best friends who met as teenagers and moved to Manhattan, where they immersed themselves in the zeitgeist: a speed-of-light journey through sex, drugs, disco, love and heartbreak ... the outrageous and riotous saga of an era when rents were cheap, sex was waiting around every corner, and friendship was the most important thing of all. “David was my best friend. We met at 17 and he died of AIDS when we were 31 years old,” says playwright Nora Burns. “I was heartbroken when he died and have missed him over time, but about two years ago I was suddenly overcome with an unshakeable grief at the loss of this unfinished friendship. I’m not alone, I realize that for those of us who lived through the age of AIDS, the PTSD is wearing off and there’s a collective sense of mourning going on, a realization of our losses, losses we were too young or overwhelmed to fully take in.” Burns wrote David’s Friend in an effort to track the history of one of the most important relationships of her life through the time and place in which it happened: New

York City in the 80s. “Because my medium is comedy, it is a humorous piece that is at once a tribute to my friend, who died in 1993, and an investigation into how that relationship, lived in discos and nightclubs and a much grittier NYC, shaped who I am today,” she says. David’s Friend co-stars actor-musician Billy Hough, who wrote seven musicals with Ryan Landry and the Gold Dust Orphans, and lyrics for the Lea DeLaria musical Insatiable Hunger. He and Susan Goldberg (Space Pussy) have performed their cult cabaret act Scream Along with Billy at Joe’s Pub in New York and the Grotta Bar in Provincetown. Nora Burns is a founding member of the comedy groups Unitard (1999-present) and the Nellie Olesons (1993-present). She has performed at PS122, La MaMa, and Joe’s Pub in New York City, and Highways,

Cavern Club and The HBO Workspace in Los Angeles. Comedy festival gigs include Just for Laughs in Montreal,We’re Funny That Way in Toronto, and the prestigious Aspen Comedy Festival (now HBO Comedy Festival). Her first solo show, Honey, I’m Home, premiered at Dixon Place in NYC, and toured to Los Angeles, Provincetown, and Hudson. Since 2013, Burns has hosted New York Stories at the historic Stonewall Inn, where celebrated Manhattanites like Michael Musto and Anthony Haden-Guest share sordid personal tales of days gone by. Burns’ film work includes Broken Hearts, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Club, Boys Life 3, and Florent: Queen of the Meat Market. TV appearances include Logo’s Wisecrack comedy show and The Sandra Bernhard Experience.

Phoenicia Branch to feature artist Durga Yael Bernhard PHOENICIA — Ulster Savings Bank would like to invite the public to their 58 Main Street, Phoenicia branch to enjoy their latest art exhibit by artist Durga Yael Bernhard titled ‘Eye on the Mountains.’ Her exhibit features Catskill Mountains landscape paintings and will be on display for the month of April. Durga Yael is the illustrator of three dozen children’s books and the author of nine – including fiction and non-fiction, natural science titles, and multicultural folktales. A common focus in Bernhard’s landscapes is the relationship of near and far. Large and small textures are juxtaposed to create a “painted polarity” between close and distant objects. Durga Yael Bernhard lives in the Catskill Mountains of New York with her family. When she is not drawing and painting, she spends her free time hiking and foraging, gardening and cooking, dancing, drumming, and teaching. For more information about the artist, please visit durgabernhard.com. For more information concerning the exhibit, please contact Samantha Awand-Gortel, Phoenicia Branch Manager, at 688-5965, ext. 6701.

A Haunting World Premiere Opens Bridge Street Theatre’s 2019 Subscription Season CATSKILL — “What are you supposed to do with the people you love who you can’t save?” Catskill’s intimate Bridge Street Theatre inaugurates its 2019 Subscription Season with the world premiere of playwright David Zellnik’s magnificent and deeply moving “The Letters”. This haunting new play from the author of “Sharon/Herzl”, “The F#@%ing Wright Brothers”, “Serendib”, and the musical “Yank!”, features a magnificently diverse cast of four directed by Bridge Street’s Artistic and Managing Director John Sowle. It’s 2002. Henry and Rachel are language nerds - he studies dead languages, she studies living languages. And Rajiv is an artist who lives with them both in a squat in Berlin, embroiled in a post-collegiate tangle of friendship, love, and sex. They’re all 22, the world is full of possibility, and they want it all. Then suddenly it’s NYC 12 years later and it’s all

coming apart. Henry is gone and Rajiv and Rachel’s long engagement is fraying when a fourth character enters their lives.

C-GCC sweeps twinbill with MVCC Columbia-Greene Media

UTICA — Holly Kleinmeier singled in Baylee Cox with the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning as Columbia-Greene completed a sweep of Mohawk Valley Community College, 5-4, in Tuesday’s Region III doubleheader.

Cox finished 2 for 4 and Hoffman went 1 for 3 with an RBI for the Twins. Hoffman turned in a complete-game performance on the mound, striking out three, walking three and allowing one earned run and four hits.

“Wins are wins in this league,’Columbia-Greene coach Peter Dedrick said. “We struggled to execute at the plate but we battled, played good defense and got out of there with two wins. Pitchers threw the ball great for us, giving us a chance. Kaylee pitched well in the first game and Claire did a great job coming in relief for Kaylee in game two. “We have to work on our approach at the plate, but I’m very confident in our abilities.” Columbia-Greene (9-5) goes to SUNY Orange for a non-conference doubleheader today at 3 p.m.

Take 5: Can’t-miss NFL games in 2019 Field Level Media

The NFL’s schedule release is like Christmas morning – that is, if after unwrapping all of your gifts, you sat and stared at them for 4 1/2 months before unboxing the goods. With Wednesday night’s unveiling, we can finally start circling the calendar, counting the days and drooling over the best 2019 battles to come. You don’t need me to tell you to watch the rematches of last season’s conference championships – Saints at Rams in Week 2, Chiefs at Patriots in Week 14 – but here are a few others you absolutely should not miss. 1. Patriots at Eagles – Week 11, Sunday, Nov. 17 Not only is this a rematch of Super Bowl LII, a battle of the last two Super Bowl winners and the first meeting between Tom Brady and Carson Wentz, but it’s also the next installment of a very strange head-to-head history. These teams have faced each other just 14 times total, with two of those coming in the Super Bowl. The five meetings since 2003 have pitted Brady against five different quarterbacks, with very odd results. Brady outlasted Donovan McNabb in Super Bowl XXXIX but needed a fourth-quarter rally to keep 2007’s perfect season alive against A.J. Feeley, of all people. The Patriots rallied from a 10-0 deficit to beat Vince Young (!) and the “Dream Team” Eagles in 2011, then blew a 14-0 lead at home to Sam Bradford, Chip Kelly & Co. in 2015, as Philadelphia scored three non-offensive touchdowns. Of course, Nick Foles & Co. won Super Bowl LII – which featured the most combined yards (1,151) in a game in NFL history – despite Brady throwing for 505 yards and the Patriots never punting. The star power at quarterback is reason enough to watch. The possibility of something strange happening only makes it more fascinating. 2. Colts at Chiefs – Week 5, Sunday night, Oct. 6 This game is a rematch from January’s divisional playoffs. Let’s also hope it’s the second of many installments in a Patrick Mahomes vs. Andrew Luck rivalry. When Father Time eventually ousts Brady in a 12-round split decision, not only will there be a superstar vacuum to fill, but the battle for AFC supremacy will be more open than it’s been in two decades. These two quarterbacks (ahem ... Baker Mayfield and Deshaun Watson also would like a word) are the most likely future rulers of the conference. We can only hope Mahomes vs. Luck becomes a rivalry half as historic as Manning vs. Brady. As for meeting No. 2, the Colts should be awfully dangerous. Luck is further removed from his lost 2017 season, and a coaching staff that was

duct-taped together on the fly last January (thanks, Josh McDaniels) has had another year to jell after an outstanding debut season. With former Chiefs pass rusher Justin Houston aboard and Chris Ballard’s war chest of draft picks, Indy’s defense should make major strides under rising coordinator Matt Eberflus. The Chiefs, meanwhile, have a ton to prove despite an excellent 2018 campaign. Almost no offense that reached the level they did last season has been able to sustain it year after year, while the defense lost Dee Ford and Eric Berry in addition to Houston. 3. Rams at Browns – Week 3, Sunday night, Sept. 22 This will be the Browns’ first time hosting a non-Thursday night primetime game since 2015, and their first time hosting a Sunday night game since – amazingly – 2008. It’s easy to forget because they’ve had so little to cheer for in ages, but Cleveland fans are among the most devoted in football. With the Browns’ expectations suddenly pointing skyward, FirstEnergy Stadium will be electric when the reigning NFC champions come to town. Freddie Kitchens and Mayfield will try to break down Wade Phillips’ scheme while hoping Joel Bitonio & Co. can hold up long enough against reigning two-time Defensive Player of

the Year Aaron Donald. On the back end, the team that tried to trade for Odell Beckham Jr. last offseason will be tasked with slowing him down, likely with heavy doses of Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters. Meanwhile, Steve Wilks’ defense faces one of its toughest tests of the season against Sean McVay, as freakish young star Myles Garrett battles crafty veteran left tackle Andrew Whitworth to get to Jared Goff. 4. Cowboys at Saints – Week 4, Sunday night, Sept. 29 This might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but last year’s Thursday night meeting in Week 13 at Dallas was like a bar-room brawl you couldn’t turn away from. The Cowboys’ defense, led by blossoming star linebackers Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch, battered the previously red-hot Saints offense and delivered the first major blow to Drew Brees’ MVP candidacy. New Orleans getting robbed of a Super Bowl LIII appearance overshadowed a suspect finishing stretch from Brees, who averaged just 6.7 yards per attempt with seven touchdowns and five interceptions from Week 13 through the postseason. No one is arguing he’s washed up, but when the end arrives for quarterbacks, it does so swiftly and with little warning. Jared Cook gives Brees his most dynamic tight end since Jimmy Graham

was traded in 2015, but trusted center Max Unger retired, and Mark Ingram is also gone. The Week 4 rematch with Dallas’ defense should be an excellent barometer for where Brees stands early in his 19th NFL season. 5. Vikings at Chiefs – Week 9, Sunday, Nov. 3 It’s easy to overlook Minnesota after 2018 went sideways, but the Vikings still have one of the NFL’s best rosters. If they can piece together a respectable offensive line, they could be a juggernaut. Most fascinating in this battle is the clash of Andy Reid’s offense and Mike Zimmer’s defense. Zimmer’s unit dictates terms to opposing offenses more than any other NFL defense, using a terrifying front four, finely tuned coverage rotations and a litany of blitzes to punish opposing quarterbacks. But trying to dictate to the Chiefs’ offense is dangerous because Reid has so many answers. He routinely creates six- and even five-man boxes to run against through spread formations and packaged plays. He also feasts on zone coverage by getting Tyreek Hill inside against linebackers and safeties. There should be fireworks against Zimmer’s aggressive, flat-footed zones, but Harrison Smith & Co. should also force Mahomes into a few turnovers.

Gase came to the Jets to dethrone the Patriots Manish Mehta New York Daily News Adam Gase’s message to his new team at the start of offseason workouts was crystal clear: He came here to dethrone the Patriots. Oh, sure, plenty of Jets coaches have tried — and failed — to topple The Evil Empire, but Gase has his players believing that it might just be possible given the influx of talent in recent months. “He’s going for that one team that’s been winning every single year in the division,” Pro Bowl linebacker C.J. Mosley said Wednesday. “He said that’s one of the main reasons he came here. We all believe that. And the guys that are the new additions to the team ... we’re pretty much here for the same reason. We know what team’s been up top for a long time. We feel we have the tools, the players and the game-plan to get that done.” Gase’s confidence doesn’t rise to Rex Ryan’s ring-kissing chatter from yesteryear, but there’s no doubt that the new man in charge isn’t afraid to express his desire to target the reigning Super Bowl champions. The Patriots, frankly, have toyed with the AFC East for the better part of two decades. Bill Belichick’s team has won 15 of the last 16 division titles, including the last 10. Gase went 2-4 against New England in three seasons with the Dolphins. He’s yet to win in Foxborough, Mass. “He came here to win,” Mosley said. “At the end of the day, history shows who we have to beat to get to that top spot. Not overlooking anybody else in the division definitely or anybody else on our schedule, but we know if you want to get to where we got to be, we know what chair we got to knock off.” The Patriots, two months removed from their sixth Lombardi Trophy in the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick era, have heard all of this before. But the results are indisputable. New England has been a virtual lock for double-digit wins ever since Sam Darnold was born, for Pete’s sakes. The Patriots have finished with Top 4 offense in 11 of the last 21 seasons, which is beyond ridiculous. Alas (for Patriot Nation), Brady is, in fact, a

soon-to-be 42-year-old human being, who lost his most dangerous weapon to retirement (Gronk) this offseason. The Jets, meanwhile, have an ascending gifted quarterback, who just added one of the game’s most dynamic players (Le’Veon Bell). The Jets have real confidence that they could finally break through against the Patriots. “It starts off with from a mental standpoint,” Mosley said. “You got to know where you are. You got to know where the team is with a new set of coaches on both sides. The intensity that the coaches (have) themselves to get us in the right position brings a mentality to the players. We feed off that energy. If they’re confident, then that makes us confident. When we’re both confident together — especially

knowing our game-plan and what we can and can’t do — that can make us a dangerous team.” Maybe so, but it’s a long journey that won’t even officially start until September. The Jets will face the Patriots twice in the first seven weeks this season, including a Monday Night clash at MetLife Stadium on October 21 (Week 7). “I’m not looking at anything like that right now,” defensive tackle Steve McLendon said of whether the Jets are closer to overtaking the Patriots. “Yeah, they have been the champions. They have won the division. That’s where we want to be. But if we focus on them, we’re going to lose focus on what our big goal is.” It’s been more than a half century since Jets have accomplished that big goal.

Severino’s setback is still a mystery James Wagner The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — As the New York Yankees try to determine how, exactly, their ace Luis Severino suffered a significant strain of his latissimus dorsi muscle while recovering from a shoulder injury, general manager Brian Cashman has a new nickname for the endeavor. “I call it ‘CSI: The Bronx’ because we’re involving a lot of people,” he said, playing off the titles of the TV show franchise. Since the Yankees’ discovery of Severino’s lat injury last week, Cashman has talked to the player, the doctors and physical therapists involved, and the pitching coach who worked with Severino at the team’s spring training facility in Tampa, Florida. Still, for the moment, the team does not have an explanation. “I’m walking through the entire process,” Cashman said Wednesday before the Yankees’ 5-3 victory over the visiting Boston Red Sox. “I’m not going to deliver a Mueller report whenever I conclude it. But we’re going through, and I’m personally engaging every aspect and going through the trainer logs.” With Cashman’s investigation still unfolding Wednesday, the depleted Yankees came

back to topple the struggling Boston Red Sox, sweeping the two-game set. Brett Gardner smashed a go-ahead grand slam, the 100th home run of his career, off Red Sox relief pitcher Ryan Brasier in the seventh inning. Despite Severino’s absence, the Yankees rotation has been solid, if far from perfect. Veteran starter J.A. Happ turned in his best performance of the season against Boston: allowing three runs — all on home runs early in the game — over 6 1/3 innings. “That was a big feeling,” said Gardner, who raised his average to .203. “Obviously, the season hasn’t gotten off to the start that I would have envisioned or liked for myself and the team, so to be able to come through in a big spot like that for what was a big game in the middle of April felt good.” As uplifting as two wins over the Red Sox were, the Yankees (8-9) were still left grappling with a perplexing case in Severino’s injury. The background: Severino, 25, was scratched from his first spring training start on March 5 because of discomfort while warming up. Cashman said an MRI exam at that point showed only rotator cuff inflammation — technically, the

supraspinatus muscle in the upper back — and no strain of the latissimus dorsi muscle, which runs roughly from the arm pit to the hip. While returning from the rotator cuff injury, Severino was making long tosses and hoping to progress to throwing off a mound but he didn’t feel like he had the requisite force to do so. Severino flew to New York and had a new MRI on April 8 that showed a Grade 2 (on a scale of three) latissimus dorsi muscle strain, Cashman said. Adding more mystery to the diagnosis is the fact that Severino was examined by an orthopedist on March 23, and no issues were discovered. The young pitcher was doing chest press and lat pull-down exercises on April 2, Cashman said. “Every aspect, we’re walking through the protocols, trying to determine what happened,” he said. “Because, that type of injury, you usually know exactly what you did.” Severino said Wednesday that he wasn’t sure how he hurt his lat but believed it happened that day he was scratched in early March. He said he felt pain in his back then, which Cashman said Severino told the team about.

Tara Smith two singles and two RBI and Alexis Tedford two singles. Peyton Bradt’s single was Coxsackie-Athens’ lone base hit. Bradt had five strike outs and allowed 14 hits and 13 runs in taking the loss.

COLONIAL COUNCIL Ichabod Crane 9, Schalmont 1 VALATIE — Laney Altomer belted a home run and Isabella Milazzo threw another gem as Ichabod Crane defeated Schalmont, 9-1, in Wednesday’s Colonial Council softball game. Altomer’s shot came with two outs and nobody in the bottom of the third to help the

Riders break the game open. Milazzo improved to 3-0 with a complete game twohitter. The sophomore righthander struck out 13, walked only two and allowed one unearned run. Emma Scheitinger tripled and had two singles for the Riders. Jenna Downey had a double and drove in two runs, Kaili Saccento contributed two singles and Brittany Futia singled and had two RBI.

A giant laid low by too many blows to the head Michael Powell The New York Times News Service

DENVER — Tall and imposing, indomitable even, 6-foot-8 with shoulders and a back broad enough to push a pickup truck. He was a star lineman on a state championship team in high school and for the University of Colorado Buffaloes, where he set a team record for starts and minutes played. He was an Associated Press third-team All-American and played three years in the NFL. Yet the word that jumps most quickly to mind when talking to Ryan Miller is “fragile.” Hits, concussive and subconcussive, have laid him low. Head bursting, nausea rising, please shut off the lights, please. I interviewed Miller twice, our talks separated by 22 months, and he is doing better, which is not to suggest this thoughtful and soft-spoken 29-year-old is anywhere near what he wants to be. When I met him in 2017, Miller had spent the previous hour in a darkened room, breathing slowly. He would get into his car and sit for hours, trying to remember where he intended to go. He would walk into airports, and lights and noise and crowds made him want to curl into a fetal ball. Since then he

has gotten better with therapy and diet, and he has lost a lot of weight. He’s healthier, and yet … “I don’t live as much in fear of what will happen next and it’s been a year since I have had a seizure,” he told me. “It’s been a long road. It still is a long road.” The brutality of the NFL and its malefactions and lack of care for players’ bodies and minds are well known. But the time a player spends in college, including Miller’s tenure in the savage trenches of an offensive line, wreaks great damage, too, and that raises a pointed question: How can universities, places of higher learning that are devoted to the development of young minds and that in some cases spend millions of dollars researching the ill effects of brain injuries, justify running multimillion-dollar football machines that put those brains at risk of lifelong damage? The University of Colorado is in measurable ways better on health than some top-ranked college programs. Yet former Buffaloes players have suffered brain and emotional damage, and some have taken their own lives. The roll call of the Colorado dead includes running back Rashaan Salaam, at age 42; linebacker Drew Wahlroos,

37; and tight end Tennyson McCarty, 32. Much evidence points to the likelihood that these men suffered emotional and cognitive problems as a result of too many hits. Wahlroos’ brain was donated to the Boston University Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy center. Results have not yet been released. Some Colorado regents have begun to ask questions. “Football as played in America is a brutal 19th century sport that is highly destructive to the human brain,” Linda Shoemaker told fellow regents. “I don’t believe it has a place in the academic enterprise that is the University of Colorado.” I will return tomorrow to their challenge to the college football industry. Today the focus is on a man consumed with a search to feel normal again. I first found my way to Miller’s suburban home southwest of Denver, the snow-capped Rockies glimmering in the distance, after reading about him in The Denver Post in 2017. He hails from an athletic family and took up tackle football in grade school. He adored it, the running, the playmaking, the hitting. Robert Cantu, a doctor who helped start the CTE Center at Boston University, studies the brain health of athletes and says the

risk of emotional and cognitive damage is three times higher for those NFL players who played tackle before age 12. Miller played continuously until, as a 285-pound teenager, he became the core of a legendary high school offensive line, the “Great Wall of Columbine.” “To have size and weight and skill advantages over all those poor high school kids, man,” he said. “I don’t want to toot my horn, but we were talented.” He smiled distantly at old conceits. “Yeah, well. You reap what you sow, right?” By which he meant he reaped lots of head whacks for years on end. He had at least one concussion in high school. “I sat out a day or two and played the next week,” he said. Miller has had 10 concussions in all, and that is to understate his battering. The brain sits in fluid inside the armor of a skull, and even nonconcussive whacks can result in brain colliding with bone. A couple of hard hits can come to resemble a concussion. The average football player, according to Cantu, takes 600 to 800 hits in high school and 800 to 1,000 in college. The Buffaloes were not highly

ranked, but Miller faced off against young men no less big and strong, many of whom went on to pro careers. He played 2,548 snaps, missing a total of two in three years. And that’s not to mention practices and spring football. Did he get concussed? He shrugs. “A couple. It didn’t feel great.” Another pause. “I mean, I always played the next game.” Miguel Rueda, the University of Colorado’s associate athletic director, said graduating players are given a medical work-up, including a session with a doctor. That’s fine. But those who study concussions speak of a cumulative toll, like a woodpecker tap-tapping at a skull. The Cleveland Browns drafted Miller 160th overall. A year later he was in summer drills, took a hit and fell to the turf as if shot. He lay motionless and unconscious for five minutes before being strapped to a gurney and taken to the hospital. The Browns cut him loose, and he became an itinerant lineman, signing with San Diego, Denver and Dallas. He was in the Cowboys camp when it happened again, on a move he had made a thousand times before. “Face to face,” he says. “A normal hit, just like in high school or college.”

MLB NOTEBOOK:

Braves reliever Arodys Vizcaino lost for season Field Level Media

Atlanta Braves righthander Arodys Vizcaino will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery Wednesday on his right shoulder, the team announced. Vizcaino, 28, went on the 10-day injured list on Sunday (retroactive to April 11) due to shoulder inflammation. He appeared in four games, allowing one run on three hits with six strikeouts in four innings. Dr. David Altchek performed the procedure in New York, cleaning up the labrum and also removing scar tissue from the shoulder joint. Vizcaino is in his sixth season in Atlanta and seventh in the major leagues, also having appeared for the Chicago Cubs in 2014. He is 13-11 with 50 saves and a 3.01 ERA in 206 appearances, striking out 218 batters in 194 1/3 innings. –Detroit Tigers lefthander Matt Moore underwent season-ending surgery on his right knee, manager Ron Gardenhire told reporters. Moore was scheduled to undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus, but more significant damage was discovered. The injury caused an abrupt ending to Moore’s first season in Detroit, which signed him to a one-year, $2.5 million deal during the offseason. Moore pitched 10 shutout innings in his two starts with Detroit. He allowed just three hits and one walk while striking out nine. –The St. Louis Cardinals placed outfielder Harrison Bader on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 14, due to a right hamstring strain. In a corresponding move, the Cardinals recalled rookie outfielder Lane Thomas from TripleA Memphis. Bader has played in 13 games this season as has gotten off to a slow start, batting just .179 to go along with two home runs and five RBIs. In his rookie

season in 2018, Bader batted .264 with 12 homers and 37 RBIs. –Kansas City Royals right-hander Brad Keller and Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson were ejected after the former hit the latter with a pitch, prompting both teams’ benches to clear. Two innings earlier, Anderson deposited a 3-2 fastball from Keller over the wall in left field for a two-run homer. Anderson punctuated the blast by emphatically tossing his bat, a decision that may have led to fireworks in his next at-bat. White Sox manager Rick Renteria and Royals bench coach Dale Sveum also were ejected during the incident. –White Sox outfielder Daniel Palka recorded his first hit of the season and then was demoted shortly after the conclusion of a 10-inning loss to the Royals. Palka, who is batting .029 with 15 strikeouts in 35 at-bats over 13 games, was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte. The White Sox said they would make a corresponding move on Thursday. Palka ended his slide of 32 hitless at-bats this season when he hit a soft pinch-hit single to left field off Kansas City righthander Ian Kennedy in the seventh inning. –Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect JiHwan Bae received a 30-game suspension without pay from Major League Baseball for violating the Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy, the commissioner’s office announced. The 19-year-old was found guilty last year in a South Korean court of physically assaulting his former girlfriend on New Year’s Eve in 2017, according to The Athletic. The suspension goes into effect Thursday for Bae, who has appeared in five games this season at Class-A Greensboro. He is 4-for-21 at the plate with three RBIs.

Celtics need Tatum to soar again Sopan Deb The New York Times News Service

BOSTON — Jayson Tatum boomed on LeBron James in last year’s NBA playoffs. You may remember it. Tatum, the 21-year-old swingman for the Boston Celtics, certainly does. The dunk drew a “wow” from play-by-play broadcaster Mike Breen. A reporter wrote on Twitter that in the locker room afterward, he overheard James saying that Tatum had “boomed” him, before James repeated four times, “He’s so good.” “I’ve got a big-ass picture of it in my house,” Tatum said in a post-practice interview Tuesday. The dunk came in the fourth quarter of Game 7 of last year’s Eastern Conference finals. Starting from outside the 3-point line, Tatum took two dribbles with his left hand to get to the rim before hammering a right-handed dunk past James, who attempted a block as a helpless defender. Tatum followed the booming with a chest bump of James, one of his boyhood idols, as if to say, “I’m here.” The Celtics lost that game, but the dunk solidified Tatum, who played one season at Duke, as an emerging NBA star. After the Celtics’ disappointing regular-season run this season, Tatum’s star hasn’t been as bright so far in these playoffs as Boston faces the Indiana Pacers in the first round. He did not make the leap many thought he would: While he improved as a rebounder and passer, his shot selection led to more long 2-pointers, causing his true shooting percentage to dip from .586 in his rookie campaign to .547 this year, placing him below .560, the league average. He increased his frequency of midrange jumpers but decreased his accuracy in making them: 37%, down from 44%. Many of his advanced metric statistics, including win shares per 48 minutes, value over replacement player and box plus/minus, were worse this year. Tatum finds himself in an unusual spot, compared with fellow NBA sophomores like Utah’s Donovan Mitchell and Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons.

GREG M. COOPER/USA TODAY

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (0) drives past Indiana Pacers guard Bojan Bogdanovic (44) during game two of the first round of the 2019 NBA Playoffs at TD Garden.

The better Tatum plays, especially in this postseason, the more likely he is to be linked to trade rumors, particularly those involving Anthony Davis, the New Orleans Pelicans’ star who has requested a trade that could shift the competitive balance in the NBA. Several college starters in this year’s NCAA Final Four were older than Tatum. But if he cannot live up to the hype he created in last year’s playoffs — that is, if he becomes just another forward — the Pelicans may be more likely to accept a package from the Los Angeles Lakers or another team besides Boston. At the same time, if Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving opts for free agency this summer, the future of the franchise may rest on Tatum’s shoulders. At barely 21, he’d be the alpha. Tatum’s future is more uncertain than many other players who have received significant early acclaim. But one way or another, the Celtics need Tatum to be great. Not just for this year’s playoffs but for the future. In short, they need him to boom. In a conversation at the Celtics’ practice facility about his future and the atypical stakes, Tatum had talking points at the ready, ones that he had delivered multiple times before. He stared straight ahead, not making eye contact, as if he were running

Iona coach Tim Cluess turned down an offer from St. John’s to become its next head coach, the third coach to rebuff the school since Chris Mullin resigned last week. Cluess released a statement to ESPN on Thursday saying that despite a “flood of emotions,” he was taking his name out of consideration for the post. Cluess is a New York native who played two seasons with St. John’s from 1979-81. Further, Cluess’ two brothers also played at St. John’s and both died young; Greg from lymphoma in 1976, and Kevin from leukemia in 1986. “When I was unexpectedly contacted by them last week it opened up a flood of emotions. For those of you who have ever lost a loved one you know that there are

special places, trinkets and memories that keep them alive in your heart and soul. St. John’s was one of those key places where my love for family has been a part of my life since my earliest memories,” Cluess said in the statement. “I love my players at Iona and being a coach there and I am truly blessed to be able to do what I love at a place I love. I look forward to continuing to grow the Iona program to higher levels,” Cluess wrote. Cluess, 60, has led Iona to six NCAA Tournament appearances in nine seasons. He is a two-time MAAC coach of the year. St. John’s top target, Bobby Hurley, turned down the school last week, choosing to remain at Arizona State, and Loyola-Chicago’s Porter Moser rejected an offer earlier this week.

carry Boston to within one win of an unlikely NBA finals appearance. This year, “unlikely” is not in the playoff vocabulary. The Celtics are supposed to get there. And Boston’s fans, never the most positive bunch, can turn on a player in a second. If the Celtics do not advance, after many analysts predicted they would, fans may view Tatum’s season in a harsh light, given how much of the franchise’s fortunes are tied up with him. Tatum said he was not as nervous about the playoffs this time around. Taking a daily pregame nap with his 16-month-old son has helped. The early returns have been positive: In the first game of the series against the Pacers, Tatum scored 15 points on 11 shots. He was plus-11 in 34 minutes as the Celtics ran away with a win. In Game 2, Tatum was even better. He scored 26 points on 20 shots, including multiple thunderous dunks in the fourth quarter, helping Boston take a 2-0 lead in the series with a 99-91 victory. But there hasn’t been a highlight that has matched the dunk on James. Tatum shook his head no when asked if he had ever talked to James about that play. A hint of a grin betrayed his practiced demeanor. “They won so they got the last laugh,” Tatum said.

through the script in his head. “Trade rumors don’t bother me,” he said in his deep monotone. “They’re talking about trading me for guys like Anthony Davis. So, I mean, I must be doing something pretty well.” When pressed on whether this bothered him, he didn’t budge: “I love the game of basketball. Being traded is part of the game. I’ll play for whomever. It’s something I can’t control.” He didn’t have much more to say than that. But that is Tatum’s personality, Brad Stevens, the Celtics’ head coach, said. No distractions. That, Stevens said, is his best quality. “Circumstances don’t affect him,” Stevens said. “First game of the season, he’s unaffected by the jitters that everybody has. Seventh game of a playoff series? Unaffected. At least, he shows himself to be unaffected, and he can thrive in that environment.” Stevens said Tatum’s quality of play improved as he got deeper into the season. He became a better passer, averaging 2.8 assists after the All-Star break, compared with 1.9 before. But his shooting dipped, from 38% from deep before the break to 35% afterward. Last season, Tatum benefited from the low expectations for the Celtics after injuries to Irving, forward Gordon Hayward and reserve center Daniel Theis. But he also helped

NEW YORK — As the crowd filed out of the Barclays Center in May 2015, there was reason for hope. Though the Brooklyn Nets had just been eliminated by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs, they had overachieved and shown some promise for the future. And Phil Jackson had become the New York Knicks president the year before, bringing his triangle offense and a coaching résumé that included 11 NBA titles to Manhattan. Little did New York fans know that it would be four dreadful years before playoff basketball would return to the city. It finally will on Thursday night, when the Nets host the Philadelphia 76ers in a series tied at 1-1. While there has been no playoff basketball in the city in the interim, much has happened in those four years. And for Knicks and Nets fans, not much of it has been good. May 1, 2015: The eighth-seeded Nets fall to the top-seeded Hawks, 111-87. But they take two games in the series, raising optimism. “We were able to secure a playoff spot,” coach Lionel Hollins says. “Some people will say, ‘Hey, we didn’t deserve it.’ That’s their problem.” June 25: After putting up a 17-63 record, the worst in franchise history and the league’s second worst in 2015, the Knicks have bad luck in the draft lottery, ending up at the No. 4 spot. Nevertheless, their selection, Kristaps Porzingis of Latvia, will pay off, quickly becoming a star and a fan favorite. Oct. 3: Knicks coach Derek Fisher gets into a physical altercation after being confronted by Matt Barnes of the Memphis Grizzlies at the home of Barnes’ estranged wife. Barnes is suspended for two games. Dec. 30: Cleanthony Early of the Knicks is shot in the knee by masked men and robbed of gold teeth caps after a visit to a strip club. Jan. 10, 2016: The Nets fire Hollins and demote general manager Billy King with the team at 10-27. “Frankly speaking, I deserve

a championship now much more than six years ago,” owner Mikhail D. Prokhorov says. Feb. 8: The Knicks, 23-31, fire Fisher. “There’s not a whole lot to say,” Jackson says in his first remarks to reporters since the start of training camp. April 13: The Nets finish the season 2161, the league’s third worst record. But there will be little help on draft day: They traded their top pick to the Celtics in 2014 for a 37-year-old Kevin Garnett and a 36-year-old Paul Pierce, both of whom are gone at this point. The Knicks finish 32-50. That’s a 15-game improvement, but Jackson says, “We’re disappointed about our season.” April 17: The Nets hire Kenny Atkinson, a Hawks assistant, as head coach. “Together, we can do great things,” Prokhorov says. June 2: The Knicks hire Jeff Hornacek as coach, bypassing the interim coach, Kurt Rambis. June 22: The Knicks trade for Derrick Rose, who proclaims them a “superteam.” After a year he will leave for the Cleveland Cavaliers. July 7: The Nets sign Jeremy Lin, perhaps hoping to recapture the Linsanity that took over the Knicks in 2012. July 8: The Knicks sign Joakim Noah for four years and $72 million. This will not work out. Noah will be suspended for 20 games for a drug violation, be sent to the developmental league and get into a shouting match with Hornacek. The Knicks wind up releasing him in 2018 and paying him anyway. Feb. 8, 2017: The Knicks legend Charles Oakley is ejected from Madison Square Garden during a game. The crowd sides with the former player, chanting “Oakley, Oakley.” The Knicks say he behaved abusively, and the owner, James L. Dolan, says that Oakley “may have a problem with alcohol.” Oakley sues, claiming defamation and battery. March 12: Carmelo Anthony gets his 10,000th point as a Knick, becoming the

third player to reach that mark with two teams. April 12: The Nets finish 20-62, the worst record in the league. Once again a potentially high draft pick is gone, as part of the Garnett deal. The Knicks are 31-51. June 22: The Nets trade their longtime star Brook Lopez to the Los Angeles Lakers for D’Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov. Russell will become a key player in the team’s resurgence. June 28: The Knicks and Phil Jackson agree to part ways after three years. The Knicks never fully embraced his triangle offense, and Jackson remained wary of the 3-point shot as it became increasingly important in the league. He also could never seem to get rid of Anthony, the team’s aging star who refused to waive a no-trade clause. Jackson also feuded with the player expected to be the team’s future, Porzingis. Sept. 25: A trade is finally worked out for Anthony, who is sent to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Enes Kanter. He gave the Knicks seven seasons of 20-points-a-game play. Jackson was willing “to trade me for a bag of chips,” Anthony says. He also notes that under new management, “They went from asking for peanuts to asking for steak.” Oct. 18: Lin ruptures a knee tendon in the Nets’ opening game and misses the entire season. Feb. 6, 2018: Porzingis tears the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and is out for the rest of this season and the next one. April 11: The Nets finish 28-54. Incredibly, for a third straight year they do not have their top pick because of that Garnett deal. (Garnett is by now 41 and has been out of the league two years.) The lost picks turned into Jaylen Brown, a big part of the contending Celtics; Markelle Fultz, a No. 1 overall choice; and Collin Sexton, who averaged 17 points as a rookie with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks wind up 29-53 and fire Hornacek the next day. David Fizdale will be the new coach.

Girl’s severe allergies cause family strain My 8-year-old daughter is seriously allergic to most animals, including cats and dogs. Even a little fur sets her off. She was recently sent home from school sick after she had borrowed a sweater from a friend who has a cat. We are working with an allergist, but this isn’t DEAR ABBY something that’s going to go away with simple treatment. My sister lives in a different state and has invited my family to spend the holidays at her home this year. However, she recently started fostering stray animals for a local shelter and has between five and 10 of them in her house at a time, in addition to their two cats and a dog. I have told my sister we can’t visit her with the animals there. Although she insists that she’ll vacuum and it will be OK, there is no way this is safe for my kid. Even if we slept at a hotel, spending the day in a “furry” house will be uncomfortable if not dangerous for my daughter. My brother-in-law has a mild allergy for which he takes over-the-counter medication. My sister refuses to understand that this is different. She thinks I’m being difficult and overprotective, and she’s angry at me. She’s also unwilling to consider coming to our house. How do I get her to see that this isn’t about her, and I’m just protecting my kid? Fur’s Flyin’ In New Jersey

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Ask your daughter’s doctor to please — in the name of family harmony — write you a short letter explaining that because of your daughter’s severe allergy, she cannot be in an environment that hasn’t been professionally sanitized, and simply vacuuming isn’t enough to guarantee your daughter won’t wind up in an emergency room. Forward a copy of the letter

to your sister with a loving note explaining that you aren’t trying to hurt her feelings, but your daughter’s health MUST come first. Then stick to your guns! My husband and I married late in life, and while he has never been married before, I have an adult child from a previous marriage. My husband’s parents have long passed away, but his two siblings are torturing him. They are exceedingly bothered by the money and time my husband spends on us, constantly complaining to him that his “blood” family should be more important than his new family. How can we turn this situation around other than cut them off completely (as his therapist has suggested)? Frustrated Sister-In-Law Your husband is paying good money for the advice he is receiving from his therapist. What the therapist is telling him makes sense. You cannot change your greedy, envious in-laws. You will save yourselves a world of pain and aggravation if you take the advice you have been given and distance yourselves both physically and emotionally.

Exactly when to begin medication treatment for osteoporosis remains controversial, and different experts in different countries have come to different conclusions. For example, in the U.S., cost-effectiveness analysis has shown that treatment (with generic bisphosphonates, such

When talking osteoporosis treatment, expert opinions differ I’m a 50-year-old post-menopausal woman, and my first bone density test (DEXA) came back showing osteoporosis in a portion of my spine and osteopenia in an area of my neck. I did a FRAX score, and it indicated my risk for a major osteoporotic fracture is 4.5 percent in 10 years. I’m reading a lot of conflicting information TO YOUR about the safety and efficacy of GOOD HEALTH various medications, as well as whether or not lifestyle changes can improve bone density or just keep it from declining further. I’m also at high risk of breast cancer, so my doctor is suggesting I consider raloxifene to “kill two birds with one stone.” I’m not opposed to medication, but I definitely tend toward a “Can I fix this with lifestyle first?” mindset and hate the idea of side effects and having to take ANYTHING long term. I don’t take anything right now other than some vitamins.

as alendronate) is effective when the 10-year risk for a major osteoporotic fracture exceeds 20 percent. In the U.K., pharmacologic treatment was found to be cost effective with a risk of 7 percent. In Canada, treatment is recommended if over 20 percent, but those between 10 percent and 20 percent should have an individualized treatment based on their unique characteristics and preferences. Given your preference not to take medicine and your low risk of fracture, medication for your osteoporosis wouldn’t be recommended at this time. If your breast cancer risk were so high that raloxifene is recommended solely to reduce your risk of breast cancer, then I would see that making sense. As far as what you can do to reduce risk of a fracture now, you should be doing the following: getting calcium through your diet and vitamin D (minimum 800 IU) through food and supplements, and having your vitamin D level checked; not smoking; exercising regularly (at least 30 minutes three times per week, ideally weight-bearing exercise or progressive resistance strength training); and avoiding excess alcohol.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are one of the most overtly stylish individuals born under your sign — to the point that often you will do a thing because it shows off a certain aesthetic rather than producing any lasting, tangible results. You are subtle, easygoing, smooth, quick to laugh and slow to anger, and yet when your temper is aflame you can be quite dangerous both to yourself and to others, for you do not know where the limits of your ire really lie. Fortunately, you tend to have a kind of amnesia when it comes to anger; you don’t often remember what or who angered you, and so you are never one to hold a grudge or harbor resentments of any kind. There are those who are confused by you because you seem to be one thing at one moment and another at the next, but that is not really because you are any different. Other people see different facets alight at different times. Also born on this date are: James Franco, actor; Kate Hudson, actress; Ashley Judd, actress; Maria Sharapova, tennis player; Hayden Christensen, actor; Tim Curry, actor; Jayne Mansfield, actress; Dudley Moore, actor, comedian and musician. 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. SATURDAY, APRIL 20 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may find yourself repeating a pattern of behavior that didn’t work for you the last time. Is there a way to change course quickly? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Self-discovery is a two-way street today; a friend can provide you with an important clue, and you can do the same in re-

turn. Work together! CANCER (June 21-July 22) — As you put together the pieces of a rather compelling puzzle, you’ll realize that you’ve known the solution all along. Now it’s fun! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can use your time — and another’s — far better than you already are. By making a very small adjustment you can set in motion something big. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — The unusual serves you in a way that makes you think that you’ve not been seeing things correctly for some time. This is an improvement. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Someone is waiting for you to complete an assignment, but he or she doesn’t know what else you’re involved in. You mustn’t be hurried today. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — A friend provides more than an opinion today; he or she also makes a suggestion that allows you to break free of a current restraint. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — That which is self-imposed is almost certainly more troublesome to you today than anything someone else could dish up. Make a change. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You are a firm believer in doing that which others suggest cannot be done, but do you really know why? Today you can explore this issue. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You may not feel like doing the very thing that others are depending on you to do today. There may be a way to satisfy both you and them. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Someone comes to you through unusual channels today. Is it something that you want to keep? Experimentation will answer that question. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You can give someone you know very well a gift no one else can. He or she returns the favor, but you may not be aware of that right away.
