COXSACKIE — Plans for the new Greene County Jail are under state review, a final hurdle before the project can break ground, county officials say. The former Greene County Jail, at 80 Bridge St., in Catskill, was closed in last April after it was declared unsafe for staff and inmates. The new facility, scheduled to be built on a 50-acre site off Route 9W behind the state Greene Correctional Facility, must first be approved by the state Department of Envi-

ronmental Conservation. The department posted its findings earlier this month on its website, dec.ny.gov. “I anticipate the construction can commence in late May or early June,” Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said, adding that he expects the DEC and Department of Transportation permits will be issued in May. Construction of the new jail is projected to take 18 months to two years, Groden said. “I don’t anticipate any site problems,” he said. “The land is

flatter than a pancake.” Because the soil is clay, no blasting should be required, Groden said. “It is advantageous from a construction standpoint,” he said. Environmentally, the site is slightly more complicated. The project involves approximately 91.5 square feet of permanent impacts to state wetlands; approximately 13,433 square feet of permanent impacts to state wetlands adjacent areas; and the use of approximately See JAIL A8

Greene County lawmakers discuss an amendment to remove a $1.3 million garage from the plans for the new jail at a recent meeting. Permits for the new jail are being reviewed by the state Department of Environmental Conversation. If the permits meet approval, construction of the jail could begin in May or June.

EMILY KASK/THE NEW YORK TIMES

U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, has joined a bipartisan group of congressmen in introducing a bill that would provide relief to farmers seeking to reorganize debt through bankruptcy. The bill is known as the Family Farmer Relief Act of 2019, and, if passed, would ease the process of reorganizing debt through Chapter 12 bankruptcy rules. The bill would restructure the rules, making more farms eligible for bankruptcy. “For folks in upstate New York, farming is more than a job — it’s a way of life,” Delgado said in a statement. “And in this extremely challenging farm economy, we must come together to help our family farmers

Proposed legislation would make it easier for smaller farms to maintain their business despite financial hardships.

Nigerian Dwarf goats at A Tiny House Resort in South Cairo go on walks twice a day with visitors. This summer the goats will participate in goat yoga classes.

CAIRO — A local resort will be offering a new twist on yoga this summer that enlists the help of some furry friends. A Tiny House Resort, located on Route 23B in South Cairo, has nine vacation rental units, scaled down to between 100 and 400 square feet in size. The grounds are also home to seven in a miniature species of goat, Nigerian dwarfs, which will be star attractions in the resort’s new yoga classes this summer. Goat yoga, which is yoga practiced in the presence of — and sometimes in physical contact with — live goats, is the latest exercise fad to be born in California and make its way across the

country, according to the New York Times News Service. “They are absolutely going to love it,” Operations Manager Marjorie Juszczak said, alluding to the goats. “They really love people.” Juszczak has five whethers, or neutered males, and two does, but she plans to breed the females next year. “We go for goat walks twice a day,” Juszczak said. “The goats are better trained than the dogs.” Goat yoga is just one of the new offerings coming to the resort this summer. “We have turned the Airstream into an art studio,” Juszczak said. “Kids and adults will be able to make souvenir cards, stamping, punching.” See GOATS A8

OLIVIER DOULIERY/ABACA PRESS/TNS

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders talks to reporters outside the West Wing of the White House on Monday, March 25, 2019.

James Brady briefing room this month, holding just two formal briefings all year after Trump told her to pull the plug on the once-daily events — that the White House wants to “move on” from Mueller’s investigation. “And I think our team needs to remain focused on how we keep pushing those things that actually help Americans and not engage in these petty fights with journalists simply that, again, shouldn’t be taken seriously,” she said. “I don’t think (they) are taken seriously and are just looking for a couple more minutes on TV. ... And frankly, I think it’s time to move on.” Perhaps one reason she is eager to “move on” is the president, after first dubbing Mueller’s report “great,” has soured on the 448-page document that paints his West Wing as a chaotic place where his top aides have ignored his orders to break the law. He spent the weekend criticizing the report with tweets from his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida. But with some House Democrats calling for impeachment proceedings even though Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer remain opposed, Trump’s contro-

versial spokeswoman slammed the opposition party’s reaction to the special counsel’s findings. “I think that the country is going to benefit a great deal by having President Trump for another six years. And I think it’s sad what Democrats are doing. They have the option, they could be working with the president to solve some of the big problems,” Sanders said. “So far, the President’s done it on his own, but he’d be happy to work with Democrats and see that impact double,” said added, listing legislation to lower prescription drug prices, helping military veterans and further growing the economy as possible issues ripe for bipartisan cooperation. “Continuing to attack the president is not a winning message.” To that end, however, the White House has not yet floated proposals for those issues that could get out of the Democraticcontrolled House. And House Democratic lawmakers and aides say they do not view the Trump White House has honest negotiators who actually want to work with anyone but Republicans to write legislation. “No one views the White House as credible on this issue,” a senior House Democratic aide

told Roll Call earlier this month after White House acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney was on Capitol Hill talking to Senate Democrats about some kind of border security deal. “Constantly talking out of both sides of their mouths.” Meantime, Trump will not green-light exemptions on Iranian sanctions when they are slated to sunset early next month, Sanders said in a statement. “This decision is intended to bring Iran’s oil exports to zero, denying the regime its principal source of revenue,” Sanders said. “The United States, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, three of the world’s great energy producers, along with our friends and allies, are committed to ensuring that global oil markets remain adequately supplied,” she added. “We have agreed to take timely action to assure that global demand is met as all Iranian oil is removed from the market.” (c)2019 CQ-Roll Call, Inc., All Rights Reserved Visit CQ Roll Call at www.rollcall. com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Trump sues in bid to block congressional subpoena of financial records

By John T. Bennett CQ-Roll Call (TNS) WASHINGTON — Newly embattled White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Monday lashed out at congressional Democrats and reporter April Ryan as President Donald Trump and his team began their first week following release of Robert S. Mueller III’s report. Democratic lawmakers wasted little time Thursday calling for her ouster following the special counsel’s report that detailed several instances in which Sanders misled reporters, especially about Trump’s decisionmaking before he fired then-FBI Director James Comey. Ryan, an American Urban Radio Networks reporter who provides analysis for CNN, followed that night by calling for the same during an appearance on the network’s “Outfront” program. “Not only does (Sanders) not have any credibility left, she lied,” Ryan said. “She outright lied and the people, the American people can’t trust her. They can’t trust what’s said from the president’s mouthpiece — spokesperson — from the people’s house. Therefore, she should be let go. She should be fired. End of story. “When there is a lack of credibility there, you have to start ... lopping the heads off,” Ryan added. “It’s ‘Fire Me Thursday’ or ‘Fire Me Good Friday,’ — she needs to go.” Sanders fired back on Monday, criticizing both Ryan and other members of the White House press corps. “Look, I’ve had reporters say a lot of things about me. They said I should be choked. They said I should deserve a lifetime of harassment,” she told Fox News without naming names. “But, I certainly never had somebody saying that I should be decapitated. “This takes us to a new low even for the liberal media. I think it just once again proves why this journalist isn’t taken seriously,” Sanders said of Ryan, who has clashed with the president and his press team before. Sanders said several times during her brief Fox hit — she has not briefed the media in the

President Donald Trump and his business on Monday sued House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., in a bid to block a congressional subpoena of his financial records. The lawsuit seeks a court order to prevent Trump’s accounting firm from complying with what his lawyers say is an improper use of subpoena power by congressional Democrats. “Democrats are using their new control of congressional committees to investigate every aspect of President Trump’s personal finances, businesses, and even his family,” the filing by Trump claims. “Instead of working with the President to pass bipartisan legislation that would actually benefit Americans, House Democrats are singularly obsessed with finding something they can use to damage the President politically.” The filing, in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, further escalates a clash between the White House and

the Democratic-controlled House over congressional oversight. Last week, Cummings subpoenaed Mazars USA, an accounting firm long used by Trump. For more than a decade, Mazars and a predecessor firm signed off on financial statements for Trump that he used when seeking loans. Some of the statements include frequent exaggerations or inaccuracies and were accompanied by a note from the firm saying it was not responsible for the accuracy of the information. The Oversight Committee on March 20 asked the company for copies of “statements of financial condition” and audits prepared for Trump and several of his companies, including the one that owns the Trump International Hotel in downtown Washington. The panel also requested supporting documents used to produce the reports and communications between the firm and Trump. The company said last week that it “will respect the legal process and fully comply with its legal obligations.”

Lawyers for the president and the Trump Organization previously wrote in a letter to Mazars’s counsel that an expected committee subpoena “would not be valid or enforceable.” In the complaint filed Monday, Trump’s lawyers argue that the subpoena of Mazars “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose.” “With this subpoena, the Oversight Committee is instead assuming the powers of the Department of Justice, investigating (dubious and partisan) allegations of illegal conduct by private individuals outside of government,” it says. “Its goal is to expose Plaintiffs’ private financial information for the sake of exposure, with the hope that it will turn up something that Democrats can

OUR VIEW

We love New York? Don’t bet on it When you get right down to it, the strength of Greene and Columbia counties has always been its people. But it may be that this strength is diminishing, according to a report issued last week by the U.S. Census Bureau. From 2010-18, Columbia and Greene counties lost population at rates, while not alarming, certainly bear close watching. Columbia County ranked 14th, losing 3.1% of its population, or 1,959 people. Greene County’s population decreased at a rate of 1.59%, or 785 residents. Overall, the top 10 states that New Yorkers move to are Florida at 21.9%,

New Jersey 13.6%, North Carolina 8.1%, Texas 7.4%, California 6.7%, Pennsylvania 6.4%, Connecticut 5.3%, Georgia 4.5%, South Carolina 3.4% and Virginia 3.2%, according to data from the IRS. The most common new address for Columbia County residents is neighboring Massachusetts while Greene County residents are seeking warmer climes in South Carolina. But this isn’t just a matter of proximity or the weather. Higher taxes play a role. New York is gaining an unwanted reputation for being unfriendly to businesses, large and small. Families are hit hard

by new taxes and fees that never seem to go away. Family farmers respond to depressed prices for their products by closing their fences. There is some political urgency reflected in these population losses. As the people leave, we stand to lose vital representation in Congress. “People are voting with their feet,” Columbia County Board of Supervisors Chairman Matt Murell lamented Friday. Making the sharper point was state Sen. Daphne Jordan, R-43. Migrating people are transforming the slogan “I Love New York” into “I Leave New York.” That about covers it.

ANOTHER VIEW

Technology companies have been taking flak lately for collaborating with the U.S. military - but are they helping the Chinese government expand its surveillance state at the same time? The revelation this month that Microsoft researchers collaborated with academics at a Chinese military-run university sparked outrage from China hawks. Careful consideration would be a more prudent response. The Financial Times reported April 10 that specialists at Microsoft Research Asia published three papers over the past year with co-writers affiliated with China’s National University of Defense Technology, controlled by the country’s Central Military Commission. Critics say the research could aid China in repressing its citizens, not to mention in throwing its Uighur minority into reeducation camps. Microsoft counters that the projects aim to solve artificial intelligence conundrums that academics around the world are working on together, and that the technologies have no closer relation to surveillance than Wi-Fi or a Windows operating system. The truth may be somewhere in between. Artificial intelligence research has always been characterized by global collaboration, and the default for academies and companies alike is to make their findings and code available to the public so that others may build on what they have discovered. Because machine-learning technologies are usually dual-use, the same discoveries that could, say, help doctors detect skin cancer could also allow a repressive regime to track its civilians. Distinguishing a technology’s military applications from its civilian ones is always tricky in the AI space. It is trickier still in China, where the line between private and

public is institutionally blurred. The Trump administration’s plan to restrict technological exports to China will almost certainly mean keeping some sensitive products and services away from that country, or at least imposing licensing rules. But it could also mean barring certain types of research. The Microsoft case is interesting because it falls in exactly the gray area officials will have to confront: The United States benefits immensely from the open exchange of ideas in AI - including access to top talent found in the most prestigious Chinese universities. Stopping up that pipeline would be a mistake. But China is also an egregious human rights offender, and using AI research for military gains is at the core of its stated strategy. One answer is to impose bright-line rules, such as a ban on U.S. companies collaborating with any Chinese entity directly affiliated with the military. NUDT, the university Microsoft is under fire for collaborating with, has a history of valuable international cooperation - but its subsidiary is also building two organizations devoted explicitly to helping the People’s Liberation Army harness tech. Another, more flexible response is to mandate that companies closely review any Chinese collaborations for human rights concerns, assessing the collaborator’s relationship to the government as well as how directly the research could be related to a nefarious end. The current model of near-limitless cooperation with Chinese firms and researchers may need rethinking. Still, officials in the United States eager to fire at companies for foundational work on groundbreaking technologies should take care to avoid shooting themselves in the foot.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘‘I feel a physical happiness when spring is coming.’ HALLDÓR KILJAN LAXNESS

Volume II of the report from special counsel Robert Mueller documents a pattern of behavior by President Donald Trump that should alarm anyone who cares about the rule of law and our democracy. That he should be impeached is a no-brainer. The question for the party and for the nation is how to proceed with the process. And it would be a mistake for both if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, DCalif., and the committee chairmen acceded to the burn-this-mutha down caucus’s demand that Trump be held accountable sooner rather than later. Let me state at the outset that I understand the arguments for “impeachment now.” While Mueller doesn’t come right out and say that Trump obstructed justice, an impeachable offense if there ever were one, he leaves it up to Congress to make that determination with the evidence presented. Kind of like leaving the last puzzle clue for your spouse to complete, and that clue is “2+2=” and the answer has four letters, three of which have already been filled in. “In the wake of Mueller revelations, to not act is to accept the president’s conduct as tolerable-be it for 18 more months or four more years,” Susan Hennessey and Quinta Jurecic argued convincingly in a post on LawFare blog over the weekend. I agree with them, up to a point. However the Democrats “act,” I want it to be done right. I want their moves to be clear, methodical and determined. And I want it done this way because the folks on Earth 2 will make the lives of the rest of us in the “reality-based community” a living hell unless there is a tsunami of evidence that cannot be ignored. In a normal world, all

400-plus pages of the Mueller report would be enough to convince both sides of the aisle in Congress and the American people that Trump had to go. His abovethe-law efforts to impede the Russia investigation alone would have guaranteed his impeachment in the House and conviction in the Senate. He would be a private citizen within a matter of weeks. But our reality is quite different. We’re saddled with a president who has fed his narrow base of die-hard supporters a steady diet of opprobrium. He has accused Mueller of “conflicts of interest.” Trump has branded the Mueller probe “a witch hunt” and a “hoax.” And he has slammed the FBI and Mueller’s investigators as “angry Democrats” and “dirty cops.” And Trump’s attacks have been amplified by his propaganda machine, otherwise known as Fox News (Chris Wallace, notwithstanding), which is also the most-watched cable news channel in the country. According to a YouGov daily survey covering April 19-20, Trump’s job approval rating among Republicans is 86 percent. Gallup’s survey for April 1-9 put it at 89 percent. This stunning level of support that has been consistent through Trump’s presidency explains why we are saddled with Republican members of Congress who mock their oaths of office to defend the Constitution by defending Trump. The depths of the obsequiousness were on vivid display during a shameful appearance on CNN “New Day” by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Mark Meadows, RN.C., on April 19, where they even parroted the president’s attacks. In this environment, the Mueller report, as solid as it is, won’t be enough. For Democrats to shut down the likes of Jordan and Meadows and to successfully

push impeachment, they will need even more evidence that adds to and goes beyond the 10 instances of possible obstruction of justice highlighted by Mueller. As E.J. Dionne Jr. points out, the House Judiciary, Intelligence, and Oversight and Reform committees are all ramping up ongoing investigations and will pursue others. That means public testimony by Mueller, Rod Rosenstein, Donald McGahn and others. Also, we now know that Mueller made 12 previously unknown criminal referrals to other jurisdictions. Trump could be implicated in some of them. The Southern District of New York, where the president is known as “Individual-1,” continues to buzz with activity. And New York State Attorney General Letitia James is doing her own investigation into the president’s foundation and his business practices. Our Constitution and our democracy demand that impeachment happen right now. That’s why Democrats calling for it to happen, especially the presidential candidates, must keep talking about it. But the politics of the moment demand that the members of Congress who would be responsible for leading such an effort proceed methodically. This would help blunt the impact of incessant presidential carping and hopefully bring along the American people, whose support will be needed for a process that is inherently political. But make no mistake: Impeachment is coming. Trump is an affront to the Constitution and has violated his oath of office. His conduct is intolerable, and he must be held accountable.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

It’s about time teachers’ salaries are on the rise To the editor: In response to the article “Study of Teachers’ Salaries Raises Eyebrows,” dated Tuesday, April 16, I have a few comments to make. First, it’s about time teachers salaries are on the rise, and second, why are the median job salaries in Greene County for non-teaching jobs so low? $40,801 for a job with a bachelor’s degree is barely a living wage. In Columbia County the salaries are much higher for these positions. I know there is a lot of outrage when we talk about a living wage, but really employers seem to be taking advantage of their staff. I believe if a business can’t afford to pay it’s people a good wage, they shouldn’t

be in business. The article seems to have a negative tone regarding teachers. There is much resentment about their salaries. The disrespect for the teaching profession is widespread in America, and I can’t understand it. The value of a good education is immeasurable. It is the pathway to a better life. We seem to have few objections for the enormous amounts of money spent on prisons, wars and walls. Right in Greene County they are building a new prison at a very high cost to the taxpayer, and that passed with very little objection. There is little outrage for the salaries of CEOs of big corporations, Wall Street, drug companies, banks. The

fact that these companies have been given huge tax cuts and the Middle Class has seen few benefits, is quite unbelievable. But it’s the teachers who get people riled up. I, for one, would rather pay for our schools and our teachers than continue to give money away for corporations and the wealthy. Any problems with our education system, and we have them, should be addressed and corrected. Public education should be revered not looked down on. Our priorities are really upside down. When educated people are mocked as “elitists” it’s a sad day. DOROTHY CASTALDO CATSKILL

Sri Lanka blames local group for attacks but suspects ‘international network’ Keith Bradsher and Sandra E. Garcia The New York Times News Service

Sri Lankan officials said Monday that the coordinated bombings of churches and hotels across the country on Easter Sunday had been carried out by National Thowheeth Jama’ath, a little-known radical Islamist group, with help from international militants. Rajitha Senaratne, the Sri Lankan health minister, blamed the group at a news conference in Colombo, the capital, adding: “There was an international network without which these attacks could not have succeeded.” The government announced that it was asking other countries for help in uncovering international links and that it was assuming emergency powers in order to investigate the attacks. A dusk-to-dawn curfew was imposed for the second consecutive night. No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which targeted Roman Catholic churches holding Easter services and high-end hotels favored by foreign tourists. On Monday, officials said the death toll had risen to at least 290, with about 500 others wounded. Sri Lankan authorities have so far arrested two dozen suspects, but declined to identify them. The Sri Lankan government has acknowledged that 10 days before the attacks, police warned security officials of a possible threat to churches by National Thowheeth Jama’ath. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said Sunday that he and other top government officials had not been informed of the threat and that “we must look into why adequate precautions were not taken.” A forensic analysis by the Sri Lankan government of human remains found at three churches and three hotels determined that seven suicide bombers had carried out the attacks, according to The Associated Press. Most sites were attacked by a lone bomber, but two targeted the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo. Bombings at a guesthouse and the suspects’ safe house remain under investigation. In interviews, counterterrorism experts said that such an extensively planned and coor-

Security personnel inspect the interior of St Sebastian’s Church in Negombo on April 22, 2019, a day after the church was hit in series of bomb blasts targeting churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka. - At least 290 are now known to have died in a series of bomb blasts that tore through churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka, in the worst violence to hit the island since its devastating civil war ended a decade ago.

dinated attack would almost certainly have required considerable financing and expertise from a more experienced group overseas. “The target selection and attack type make me very skeptical that this was carried out by a local group without any outside involvement,” said Amarnath Amarasingam, a specialist in Sri Lankan extremism at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a counterterrorism research group based in London. “There’s no reason for local extremist groups to attack churches and little reason to attack tourists.” Sri Lanka, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, was ravaged by decades of civil war that ended in 2009, but it has little history of militant Islamic violence. The suicide bombings that were pioneered there starting in the 1980s were carried out by guerrillas from the country’s Tamil ethnic minority who were mainly Hindu, not Muslims. Anne Speckhard, director of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism, contrasted the attacks by Tamil guerrillas with those attributed to National Thowheeth Jama’ath. Unlike the bombings Sunday, she said, those dur-

ing the civil war were part of a nationalist or ethnic separatist movement, and they mostly targeted political leaders rather than religious ones. “These attacks appear to be quite different and look as if they came right out of the ISIS, al-Qaida, global militant jihadi playbook, as these are attacks fomenting religious hatred by attacking multiple churches on a high religious holiday,” she said, using an alternative name for the Islamic State group. National Thowheeth Jama’ath is a small but violent group of young Muslims that started at least three years ago in eastern Sri Lanka, far from the country’s more cosmopolitan western and southern coasts. Until this month, the group was generally perceived as antiBuddhist, counterterrorism experts said. Sectarian divisions are ripe for exploitation in Sri Lanka, whose ethnic Sinhalese majority is mostly Buddhist. Sri Lankan Muslims, who make up about one-tenth of the population and mostly speak Tamil have a long history of conflict with the country’s Buddhists and Hindus, said Brahma Chellaney, a professor of strategic studies at the Center for Policy Research in

US measles cases surge as officials scramble to stop near-record outbreak Lena H. Sun The Washington Post

The United States is on track to surpass the record number of measles cases in a single year since the disease was declared eliminated in 2000, according to figures reported Monday. For the fourth week in a row, health officials have added dozens of new cases to the year’s list of confirmed ones, bringing the total to 626 - already the highest number in the past five years. The number of people sickened by the highly contagious, potentially deadly disease increased by 71 during the third week of April, with 22 states reporting cases. In 2014, the United States had a record 667 cases, including one large outbreak primarily among unvaccinated Amish communities in Ohio that accounted for more than half of the cases that year. Health officials said they expect the 2019 case counts to jump in the coming weeks because of increased disease spread during Easter and Passover gatherings. Officials in New York City, location of the largest outbreak in the country, are especially worried. At least 303 cases have been reported this year, virtually all in Brooklyn. New York City Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot said she is bracing for an increase. The CDC figures, updated Monday, report cases as of April 18, before the start of the holidays. The states that have reported cases to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Il-

linois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Washington. The outbreaks are linked to travelers who brought measles back from countries such as Israel, Ukraine and the Philippines, where large measles outbreaks are occurring. The majority of people who have fallen ill were unvaccinated, officials said. In some communities, anti-vaccine activists have spread false claims about the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, fueling refusal or hesitancy among parents about immunizing their children. When many people in a community have not been vaccinated, the disease can spread quickly. It can cause serious complications among all age groups, especially young children, adults with weakened immune systems and the very elderly. California has 23 cases, including four in San Mateo County, which include an adult who visited Google headquarters in Mountainview, and 13 cases in Butte County in northern California, the region devastated by

the most destructive wildfire in history. In Washington state, 74 people contracted the infection, including 63 who were unvaccinated. Health officials are expected to declare that outbreak over if no more cases are reported by Wednesday. That’s two incubation periods (42 days) without new cases. Meanwhile, the rise in measles cases prompted the Food and Drug Administration on Monday to stress the importance of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, saying large, well-designed studies confirmed its safety and effectiveness long ago and demonstrated it is not associated with the development of autism, false information that anti-vaccine groups have claimed for two decades. “We cannot state strongly enough - the overwhelming scientific evidence shows that vaccines are among the most effective and safest interventions to both prevent individual illness and protect public health,” Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said in a statement.

New Delhi. The conflict stems partly from statues and other human portrayals of Buddhist and Hindu deities, which some Muslims perceive as idolatrous. In recent years, Buddhist extremist groups have sprung up among the Sinhalese, who make up nearly three-quarters of the Sri Lankan population. The groups seek to protect statues of Buddha from desecration and make Buddhism more central to Sri Lankan life, but they have also fomented violence. Last year, the Sri Lankan government declared a nationwide state of emergency after mob attacks against Muslims in the central district of Kandy. National Thowheeth Jama’ath appears to have emerged as part of a backlash by Sri Lankan Muslims against these Buddhist extremist groups, said Kabir Taneja, a counterterrorism expert at the Observer Research Foundation, a public policy research group in New Delhi and Mumbai.

Senate House State Historic Site opening April 24 KINGSTON — Join Senate House State Historic Site as it opens for the 2019 season on April 24. The site will be open to the public 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday at 296 Fair St. in historic uptown Kingston. The new season is bringing some exciting changes to the site. Senate House, which served as the 18th century home of Abraham Van Gaasbeek and the meeting place of the first New York State Senate, is currently undergoing vital restoration work. While this work is being done, guided tours will not visit the inside of Senate House, but

instead, will take visitors to the Loughran House for a fascinating new temporary exhibit, “Back to the Future: The Evolution of Senate House.” This new exhibit explores the changes Senate House has undergone over the past century, and includes rarely seen images of the building. Admission also includes the museum, which houses the Vanderlyn Gallery, exhibiting sketches and paintings by 19th century artist John Vanderlyn, as well as an exhibit exploring Kingston’s oldest European colonial settlement in the Stockade Gallery. Admission rates are $4 for adults, $3

for seniors, children 12 and younger are free. Guided tours of the interior of Senate House will resume once restoration work is completed. Senate House State Historic Site is part of a system of parks, recreation areas and historic sites operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and is one of 28 facilities administered by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission in New York and New Jersey.

Get things moving again Constipation is a subject that many people do not like to talk about unless you like to hang around with me! And if you are one of the 63 million people (mostly women and the elderly) suffering in silence from slow bowels, then today’s post may help you get things moving along. According to Perfect Origins, depending on your height, age and diet, you could have anywhere from 5 to 20 pounds of fecal matter in your intestines at any given time! Failure to get rid of fecal matter at regular intervals can affect your mood, how well your brain processes information, cause skin problems, brittle nails, thinning hair, heartburn, weight gain and bloating. Let’s face it — bowel movements are a necessity of life. But most people think of constipation as a symptom rather than the cause of their health problems. And how often you empty your bowels is a good indication of how healthy you are. So before moving on, it’s important to establish what “healthy” is. If your bowels are healthy they should empty at least two or three times a day. Remember that your liver flushes out toxins and dumps them into your intestines. However, if your digestive system isn’t working optimally,

SCHOEPE then all those toxins and waste gets reabsorbed into your body, wreaking havoc on your insides. Many people resort to taking over-the-counter laxatives or prescriptions in order to relieve constipation, however they come with many side effects including cramping, bloating and diarrhea, and should be taken with caution. However, there are several natural remedies you can buy in most health food stores that are considered safe by the Food and Drug Administration. First used by Native Americans, cascara sagrada bark contains anthraquinones that produce wavelike contractions in the large intestine. Known as peristalsis, it gently stimulates the removal of waste from your body. And while adding more fiber to your diet helps, it doesn’t always work. But natural rem-

edies like cascara sagrada offer an effective natural, safe alternative. Ginger root has been used for thousands of years and is still used today to relieve common digestive issues including relief from gas, cramping and constipation. And your microbiome thinks ginger is fantastic! Your microbiome soaks up the compounds in ginger, which strengthens microbes, making a healthier, happier and slimmer you! Another plant that has played a central role in holistic health since the Middle Ages is wormwood. One of its top benefits is reducing inflammation in your colon. And studies show that 100% of people with inflammatory bowel diseases had lower inflammation when taking wormwood. It also stimulates the production and release of bile, which helps you detox and absorb your food more efficiently. Clove bud, senna leaf, barberry root, rhubarb root, fennel seed and garlic bulb are other intestinal-moving herbs that also increase your digestive health. No matter how long you’ve been suffering from constipation, these herbs can help you get things moving along again. Reach Mary Schoepe at fitnessconcepts001@yahoo.com.

American Cancer Society announces new hotel partners ALBANY — Cancer patients needing to travel to Albany County now have one less worry — where to stay during treatment. If you’re a cancer patient and your doctor says, “Your best hope for a cure is in another city,” your first thought may be, “Where am I going to stay and how am I going to pay for it?” The American Cancer Society can help. The organization works together with hotels through its Hotel Partners Program to provide complimentary rooms to cancer patients who need to travel out of town to receive treatment. Two hotels in Albany are joining the group’s Hotel Partners Program, providing com-

plimentary rooms to cancer patients who must travel from out of town to Albany for treatment. The American Cancer Society recognizes the following hotels that have joined the program in Albany: Towne Place Suites and Fairfield Inn. They join the organization’s national Hotel Partner, Extended Stay America. “It is always a pleasure to align with organizations that are doing great things,” said Patricia Voska, director of sales. “If we can give back a little and help someone when needed, then it’s a win-win!” In 2017, the American Cancer Society served more than 32,000 individual cancer patients and their caregivers with

more than 500,000 free or reduced nights of lodging through Hope Lodges and hotel partners nationwide, saving cancer patients more than $52 million in hotel costs. To be eligible to receive lodging through the Hotel Partners Program, patients must be traveling for a cancer-related medical appointment, be in need of lodging near their treatment center, have a permanent residence and be able to care for their personal needs or travel with a companion who can assist them. For information about American Cancer Society programs and services, including lodging, visit cancer.org or call 1-800227-2345.

American Red Cross Blood Drives POUGHKEEPSIE — The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood during National Volunteer Month this April. Eligible donors of all blood types — especially type O — are needed to help ensure blood products are available for patients this spring. Nearly half of the public knows someone who has been helped by a blood transfusion. For many volunteer blood donors, like Gail Wright, that personal connection serves as inspiration to give. Wright’s brother was involved in a serious motorcycle accident in 1982 and needed several blood transfusions during his fourmonth recovery. She lived over 120 miles away at the time. Unable to be near him, she decided she could help by donating blood. Wright has continued to donate and recently completed her 11th gallon of donated blood — 88 lifesaving blood donations. Volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for those in need of transfusions, and the Red Cross salutes the volunteer blood donors who help fulfill its lifesaving mission. While donors of all blood types are needed, the Red Cross currently has a severe shortage of type O blood donations and urges type O donors to give now. Make an appointment to help save lives now by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting

RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). HBO and Red Cross invite Game of Thrones fans to Bleed #ForTheThrone To celebrate the final season of Game of Thrones, HBO and the American Red Cross have partnered to encourage fans and donors to show their bravery and valor by bleeding #ForTheThrone. Many answered the call to give earlier this year, and much like the show, embarking on its final season, the fight for the living isn’t over. Those who come to donate by April 30 will be automatically entered for a chance to win a full-size Iron Throne from HBO’s Game of Thrones. Terms and conditions apply and are available at RedCrossBlood.org/HBOGameofThrones. Additionally, all presenting donors April 11-30 will receive a commemorative “Bleed for the Throne” poster, while supplies last, and will automatically be entered in the abovementioned sweepstakes.

The Ride for Mental Health returns June 22 NEW PALTZ — The Ride for Mental Health invites cyclists of all levels to come together June 22 and June 23 in the Hudson Valley to enjoy New York’s natural beauty for a cause. Funds will support McLean Hospital, helping accelerate progress being made to assist those living with mental illness. One hundred percent of proceeds raised by riders goes towards the education, research, and treatment of mental illness, including anxiety, borderline personality disorder, depression, eating disorders and substance abuse. The Ride was created by Mac Dorris to honor his late son, Eric Dorris, who battled these conditions. “In addition to raising money, it is our sincere hope that The Ride will help end the stigma surrounding mental illness through education and awareness,” said Mac Dorris, CEO of Eric’s Ride Inc. and the event’s organizer. “Throughout the weekend, we encourage riders to share stories and discuss what inspired their participation. Many, if not most, of us are touched by close friends and relatives who have suffered with mental illness. We are extremely proud of the impact made with our first two rides, and believe that with public support it will continue to grow each year.” To date, The Ride has raised more than $250,000. These funds allowed McLean Hospital to allocate $20,000 funding the Technology in Psychiatry

Summit; $55,00 supporting the translational research pilot grants for ten researchers; $40,000 funding postdoctoral research; $60,000 providing matching funds for the Connor-McLean Healthy Kids Development Research Collaboration; $35,000 training clinical-research fellows working in borderline personality disorder programs; and $20,000 supporting scholarship funding for individuals to receive treatment at the Boys 3East intensive residential program. This year The Ride’s special guest speaker will be Juli Furtado, a former Olympian and three-time World Cup mountain bike champion. Furtado was one of the most dominating mountain bike racers of all time. She was also subjected to a particularly difficult upbringing, with her mother suffering from mental illnesses of her own. Last summer, encouraged to speak up after the suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, and having struggled recently herself with depression, Furtado decided to tell her story to the San Jose Mercury newspaper. “For me, the ride is in support of Eric’s life and his family, while also raising awareness about mental health,” said Furtado. “To further the understanding about internal struggles, it’s helpful to showcase personal stories and their lives.” Riders can register for rides as short as 25 miles or as long as 100 miles, riding either one

or both days. There is also an easy, flat rail trail option that is designed for families and those wishing for an easier, car-free route. Pledge Goal for each rider is $1,000. Participants have until July 31 to raise the funds with no minimum required by riders. The Ride will be hosting two group dinners on Saturday night. The first, limited to 150 guests, will be held at the Mohonk Preserve. Individuals who raise $1,000 or more and those first to register will be invited to join and dine with Juli. Julie will be speaking at the dinner to show her support for the event and to encourage others to open up about mental health. A secondary community meal for all remaining riders and volunteers will take place simultaneously at Field of Dreams in New Paltz. Participants are encouraged to take this time as an opportunity to foster a sense of community and discuss what brought them to The Ride. Accommodations are available at Hampton Inn and SUNY New Paltz dorm rooms. SUNY New Paltz has provided suite-style accommodations for $84/night. The price includes two twin beds with two to four rooms sharing one bathroom. Hampton Inn is also offering a group rate for $229/night for rooms with two queen beds.

Farms From A1

overcome years of low prices and increased market consolidation. The Family Farmer Relief Act will provide the critical restructuring and repayment flexibility these folks need to get through these hard times without permanently closing their operations.” Delgado was joined by House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, D-Minn. and U.S. Reps. T.J. Cox, D-Calif., Kelly Armstrong, R-N.D. and Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., in proposing the bill. A companion bill is under consideration in the U.S. Senate. Both bills would expand the debt cap that can be covered under Chapter 12 bankruptcy from $3,237,000 to $10 million, Delgado said, giving farmers more options in keeping their operations open. Lloyd Zimmermann, owner of Black Horse Farms in Coxsackie, was not familiar with the proposed bill but said small, family-owned farms need assistance. “The farm economy is sick,” Zimmermann said. “There are no dairy farms left in the town of Coxsackie; there is, I think, one left in the town of Catskill. There is no incentive for young farmers to come in and take it over because it costs too much money.” The problems,

HEATHER AINSWORTH/THE NEW YORK TIMES

The Family Farmer Relief Act of 2019 aims to make it easier for farmers to restructure their business and keep their doors open.

Zimmermann said, are widespread across the state. “This is happening all over the state of New York,” Zimmermann said. “The state has not done very much for the farmers, especially in western New York, where they could really use the help.” New York Farm Bureau spokesman Steve Ammerman said the legislation could help farms by raising the operating debt cap, ensuring more farms qualify for assistance. “This legislation would lift the cap for those businesses

and family farms that seek to file Chapter 12 bankruptcy,” Ammerman said. “Many years ago, Congress put into place some requirements for large companies that applied for bankruptcy and essentially this would apply to family farms. This would remove some of the reorganization requirements that currently exist, making it easier and less expensive for farms to reorganize if they are facing a crushing debt load.” With bipartisan support in both houses of Congress,

Ammerman said he is hopeful the legislation will be adopted. He added that low prices have created a difficult agricultural economy for smaller farms. “This is important because the farm economy has been in such dire straits for the past four years because of low prices,” Ammerman said. “Many farms have eaten into equity to pay the bills so they have taken on more loans and the debt-to-asset ratio nationally has reached a 30-year high, which shows this is a large

problem across the country, not just in New York state. This would help farms by providing debt relief and allow them to restructure their business and hopefully come out in a stronger position and find their way out of this economic downturn.” Between 2012 and 2017, 2,100 farms closed across New York state, representing a 9% loss, Ammerman said. The 2012 agricultural census conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the most recent figures available,

indicate the Twin Counties have experienced a similar loss of farms. In Greene County, there were 286 farms in 2007, and 273 in 2012, a 5% decline. In Columbia County the numbers were more problematic — in 2007 there were 554 farms countywide, and 494 in 2012, a decline of 11%, according to the USDA. Tessa Edick, from FarmOn! Foundation in Copake, said family farmers have not received the support they deserve over the years. “The farmer has not sustained a noble and respected profession yet we all need to eat, so it is important to provide a viable livelihood for family farms over Big Agriculture, which is money we already pay in our taxes for subsidies that get taken advantage of by corporate America,” Edick said. She added that Delgado’s bill could provide a real service to family farms. “The idea of relief would be incredible for family farms, to be relieved of debt when really they are doing a service for human rights so good food is not a privilege,” Edick said. “If we could focus on debt relief for farmers for food that is vital for living — which would be fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy — that would certainly be a lift for our agricultural community.” The bill will next go before the Judiciary Committee in Congress for further consideration.

The resort added a wellness tent where patrons can get massages and spa treatments. “We have a beautiful soaking tub that overlooks the Catskill creek,” Juszczak said. Visitors will also have access to a heated in-ground pool for the first time this summer. The resort has come a long way from its opening in 2017 with four units. “It all started because I was traveling in an RV across the country,” Juszczak said. Juszczak’s father, Robert Malkin, who owns the property, had rental properties in Palenville and New York City at the time, Juszczak said. “He sold the property in the city and took the plunge,” she said. Malkin reinvested the money in the Cairo property and it is now a three-generation business, Juszczak said. Juszczak runs the resort with her daughter Melissa. “We’ve taken the best of

The county had to come up with a mitigation plan to minimize the impact on the two species, Groden said. “We were given 50 acres from the state,” Groden said. “Of that, we are disturbing 19 to 20 acres. The rest of the acreage is dedicated to be forever wild in a land management agreement.” The fields will be periodically trimmed so the predatory birds can continue to hunt, Groden said. “We exceeded what they [DEC] typically ask for,” Groden said, alluding to the mitigation plan. The site was also determined to be historically significant during its State Historic Preservation Office review. “SHPO reviewed the site and determined the project had potential to disturb Native American archeological resources,” Deputy Public Information Officer Dan O’Keefe said. “Greene County accepted SHPO’s recommendations to avoid those areas of archeological sensitivity in terms of construction siting and activity.”

A store is located onsite for essential items. Around the grounds, patrons can go kayaking on the creek, visit the nearby waterfall, take their dogs to the dog park and visit the resort’s critters including chickens,

ducks and, of course, the goats.

Another critical component of the project involving Coxsackie increasing capacity at its wastewater treatment plant. “We have been in a moratorium since 2005,” Village Mayor Mark Evans said. The moratorium prevented the village from adding any major connections to its sewer plant. In May, the village received a $14.4 million loan from the Environmental Facilities Corporation to upgrade the plant, Evans said. Greene and Coxsackie correctional facilities will foot 60% of the bill for their usage, Evans said, and the village has secured a $2.5 million state grant to recover some of the cost. The county will be responsible for the cost of putting in lines to the new facility, Evans said. “The two projects will be running along the same timeline,” Evans said of the jail. The village received bids back in March and once bids are awarded, the project will take 18 months to two years, Evans said. “Our facility will be more robust and bigger with more capacity,” Evans said. The plant will go from a capacity of 800,000 gallons to 1 million, he said. “The last update was more than 20 years ago,” he said. The plant was built in 1972. The increased capacity will eliminate the need for overflows, Evans said.

“Now there will never be raw sewage going into the river,” he said. The village is also looking to expand its water storage capacity with an $8 million grant, Evans said. The project will include the installation of a 2 million gallon capacity tank in summer 2020. The county had considered several alternative sites for a new jail, Groden said. One possibility was an unfinished subdivision behind Save A Lot in Coxsackie. “It was determined that it was the last developable piece of property that could come onto the village tax roll,” Groden said. “We did not want to take away that final frontier from the community.” The county also considered building the jail near the 911 center or the mental health building in Cairo, Groden said, but the configuration was not right. “We looked at the Coxsackie distribution center but we had the same issue as the Save A Lot site,” Groden said. “That could be a developable, taxpaying property in the future.” By using the former state land, the county was not hurting any community’s tax base, Groden said. “Plus the site is home to two state prisons,” he said, adding that residents would have less of a NIMBY reaction.

Milazzo fires ICC’s second straight perfect game Columbia-Greene Media

Ichabod Crane’s Isabella Milazzo threw her second perfect game of the season and the Riders’ second in as many days on Friday in a 4-0 nonleague victory over Maple Hill.

CASTLETON — Sophomore Isabella Milazzo threw the second perfect game in as many days by an Ichabod Crane pitcher as the Riders earned a 4-0 victory over Maple Hill in Friday’s non-league softball game. One day after Marissa Wheeler threw a perfect game, Milazzo duplicated the feat, striking out 17 of the 21 batters she faced. It was her second perfect game of the season, the first coming in a five-inning 20-0 victory over Holy Names in the season opener. Along with Milazzo’s gem, eighth-grader Emma Scheitinger continued to feast on varsity pitching, blasting her first home run and finishing with a 4 for 4 day at the plate to raise her batting average to .682 (15

for 22). Brittany Futia added two singles and an RBI to the Riders’ attack. Kaili Saccento had a single and two RBI and Gabbie Cox and LAurn Heffner a single each. Alysa Houghtaling pitched well in defeat, striking out five, not walking a batter and allowing four runs (three earned) and nine hits. “Hats off to Bella who pitched a heck of a game,” Maple Hill coach Patrick Austin said. “I was very impressed with her composure and mental toughness. I thought Alysa threw well for us and minimized their opportunities, but a couple of big hits and some mistakes on our end did us in. I do think a game like this will help us in the long run, though.”

MIDDLETOWN — The ColumbiaGreene Community College rang up two more victories on Friday, sweeping both ends of a doublheader with sUNY Orange, 7-4 and 8-1. In the first game, the Twins stranded six runners in the first five innings. Orange built a 3-0 lead going into sixth inning, but the Twins’ Justine Albin broke open the scoring, hitting a solo shot to right-center to cut the lead to 3-1. Orange would get that run back in the bottom half of the frame, making it 4-1 headed to seventh. Baylee Cox led off C-GSS’s rally with a single. Jenna Poulsen hit a double off the wall, scoring Cox, then Holly Kleinmeier came to the plate and hit a mammoth home run to deep left field to tie it at 4-4. Kaylee Hoffman then reached on an error, followed by a single by Albin. Hoffman came in to score on an error by the pitcher and Albin and Beaumont scored on a double by Kelsey Taylor and the Twins held on to get the win. Kleinmeier finished with a home run, single and two RBI for the Twins. Albin had a home run, single and an RBI, Taylor two doubles and two RBI, Jenna Poulsen a double, two singles and an RBI, Hailey Beaumont a single and an RBI and Cox, Hoffman and Jaci Gehring a single each. Karlee Weeden slugged a home run and double and drove in a run for SUNY Orange. Cassidy Smith had a double and single and Grace Guh doubled. Hoffman went the distance for the win, striking out three, walking one and allowing four runs and seven hits. Weeden took the loss, allowing seven runs and 12 hits with seven strikeouts. In the second game, the Twins struck first in the first inning on a double by Hoffman and a fielder’s choice by Albin to go up 2-0. Kleinmeier belted a solo homeer in the third to make it 3-0. In the fourth, Albin blasted a groundrule double to make it 5-0, followed up by a three-run homer by Jaci Gehring. Along with Gehring and Kleinmeier’s bombs, Hannah Mawyin had three singles for the Twins (11-5). Albin had three RBI and Poulsen two singles. Smith finihsed with two singles for the Colts. Nicole Beach added a double and an RBI and Meghan Clune ripped a double. Claire Filak scattered four hits and surrendered just one run in earning the victory. She struck out four and didn’t walk a batter. Victoria Crozier and Weeden combined for the loss, striking out two, walking five and allowing eight runs and 10 hits. “As a team we’ve been waiting for our bats to wake up,” Columbia-Greene coach Peter Dedrick said. “We’ve been playing some solid defense and our pitchers have been throwing great to keep us in games. That seventh inning, where we came from behind and scored six runs, is exactly what we needed. Hopefully we can carry the momentum into next week. Two very solid wins over a D2 school.”

Conforto emerging as homegrown leader for retooled Mets Kevin Armstrong The New York Times News Service

PHILADELPHIA — After New York Mets right fielder Michael Conforto had beaten out an infield single, stolen a base and homered Wednesday afternoon, he stood at his locker and wore a gray T-shirt emblazoned with “Pressure is a privilege.” The Mets had lost for a second straight day, this time 3-2. Conforto’s final at-bat, which came in the ninth inning, ended with a shot that was caught a few feet short of the right-field fence. Despite all he’d done, including homering for a second straight game, he lamented his inability to finish the job. “We didn’t do enough when we were here,” he said as the team readied to fly to St. Louis for a weekend series. “All aspects of the game are important: defense, base running, pitching, hitting. When you’re playing teams that are as good as we have in the division, we have to put the whole thing together.” Conforto, 26, has been the full package thus far. As the lone Met to appear in the starting lineup every day this season, he has reached base in 13 of the last 14 games, a stretch in which he had 12 extra base hits, 12 RBIs and 13 runs scored. What has been most noteworthy to Mets manager Mickey Callaway, though, is

said. “You don’t want to ever change who you are to be a leader, and he’s doing a good job of just evolving into one of ours.” Conforto took a step back from baseball after the Mets finished 77-85 last year. He trekked home to Seattle, where he watched all of the playoffs with family and friends. It was a reminder of the stage he had been on when the Mets made the World Series in 2015 and he stroked two home runs in a Game 4 loss against the Kansas City Royals. He welcomed the distance as he unwound from a disappointing season in Queens. “Mileagewise, it is very far,” Conforto said. “I created some space between New York and myself.” It was during that time that Conforto received a call from Brodie Van Wagenen, the Mets’ new general manager. Van Wagenen, a former agent, informed Conforto, a client of Van Wagenen’s old rival, Scott Boras, that he had admired him from afar. Van Wagenen also told Conforto of players he aimed to bring to the Mets, and Conforto later watched as the pieces filled in around him. He noted a new energy building. “He had a lot of motivation to change the culture throughout the organization, bringing in new guys and faces,” Conforto said of Van See METS B3

Islanders’ Anders Lee’s ‘C’ stands for ‘Captain’ and ‘Caring’ Neil Best Newsday

The Islanders’ previous captain was one of the best players in the world, the star around which an otherwise low-wattage franchise revolved. Now the two most famous Islanders are their general manager and coach, Lou Lamoriello and Barry Trotz, and their captain ... well, he is not John Tavares. But Anders Lee has been a neat fit for a team of equals, a steady presence off-ice whose on-ice style is akin to that of a low-post center. (Mathew Barzal is the flashy point guard, if we’re doing basketball analogies.) “He’s just been himself,” Matt Martin said. “He’s always had that leadership quality. He goes about his business, obviously a guy that’s well-liked in the room. He’s got some jokes and things like that, but when he’s on the ice, he’s all business, and he sets a great example on and off the ice. “He’s been a great leader, and hopefully he will be for a long time.” About that: Lee, who turns 29 in July and is earning $5 million this season, is an unrestricted free agent to be. So there was some risk in awarding him the “C,” because if he does not re-sign, the Islanders will lose captains in back-toback years. But Trotz heard and saw what he needed last summer. He said he spoke to every player and asked a number of questions, including this: “If there was one person that you would trust, who would that be, and who would you go to? ... Anders’ name came up a number of times. I just watched during training camp: Who takes care of himself? Who does things the right way? Who cares about

the group? “Being the captain is caring about everyone else first, and Anders has that in his DNA, which is really good.” Trotz’s previous captain was Alex Ovechkin, and the two won a Stanley Cup with the Capitals last June. Now the Caps are the Islanders’ potential opponent in the second playoff round, with a 3-2 series lead over the Hurricanes entering Game 6 on Monday night. Ovechkin led the Capitals with 51 goals this regular season and is a Hall of Fame lock. Lee led the Islanders with 28, down from 40 last season, thanks in part to his buy-in to Trotz’s defense-first mantra. He would settle for lifting the Cup and securing a place in Islanders lore. Lee, who is from Edina, Minnesota, was drafted 151st overall in 2009 by the Islanders, for

whom he made his debut on April 2, 2013. (Only two Americans have captained a Cup winner, Derian Hatcher and Dustin Brown, who did it twice.) “He’s done an unbelievable job,” Casey Cizikas said of Lee’s captaincy. “When the coaching staff announced it (in October), it just made sense. Everything he does for the community, everything he does for Long Island, what he does for the guys in this room, is incredible. And it goes a long way. He’s our captain for a reason.” A question to Lee about his role produced a paragraphlong quote out of Lamoriello 101 about no one man standing above the rest. “We’re all equal,” he said. “We’re all working together and there’s nothing that sets anyone apart.” Beyond that, Lee said he has

tried not to change anything about himself. “A big part of (leadership) is being true to yourself and being who you are,” he said. “There’s no need to change anything, because you got there being the person you are.” One thing that comes with being captain is greater media responsibilities as the players’ public face. Lee said he has not minded that. “For sure, a little more (TV) lights,” he said. “But our rough patches this year haven’t been too difficult, and the adversity we’ve faced we handled really well as a team. If you have to answer a couple of extra tough questions here and there, it’s all good.” So far the Islanders are 4-0 in the playoffs, so it’s all good. But the questions figure to get tougher from here.

Knicks hope they found some keepers for the future Steve Popper Newsday

NEW YORK — With their 17-65 season thankfully over, the Knicks no longer need to voice the pretenses of focusing on the game in front of them and pretending to ignore the much more important summer season. The purpose of the season was not exactly a tightly guarded secret, discarding talent and veterans and putting the ball in the hands of a trio of rookies and a bunch of former first-round picks discarded by their former teams. The Knicks still won’t admit it, but they put a team on the floor with the purpose of doing exactly what they achieved — losing a lot and earning the best chance they could at the top spot in the upcoming NBA draft. While they wait for the May 14 lottery to determine whether it worked or not, they also are now watching the postseason as closely as any fans, scouting out the potential free-agent targets that they can splurge on with their accumulated salary cap cash. But there is another reality for the Knicks. If they can manage to coax two star free agents to take their money and they land a big-time prospect in the draft, they still have a lot of roster spots to fill up around them. And that means that with the cap space lavished upon those stars, much of the roster still will be made up of players who endured a season that matched the worst in franchise history. “I think it’s tough, but if you study the league over the years a number of players have gone through that, especially when you’re young and the team is young as we were,” Knicks general manager Scott Perry said. “You don’t want to look up three or four years from now and they’re still in that same boat. But I think for year one, it teaches a little bit of a lesson, just how hard you have to work to be a winner in this league. “A lot of times when you come in the NBA as a 19-year-old and you’re thinking the NBA might be easy. The reality of playing an 82-game season playing against grown men hits you square in the face and you understand, OK, this is going to take a little time, I’ve got things I’ve got to correct and get better at. I think the kind of young people we have are self-reflective — I think what our coaching staff, in terms of what trying to impart and teach these guys, will resonate more, as we go into the offseason and into next season.” Knicks coach David Fizdale conducted exit interviews with the players over the final days of the season and when it was over,

it was Perry and team president Steve Mills who met with the players for exit interviews of their own — the kind that will likely determine just who is exiting for good. They praised the rookies — Kevin Knox, Mitchell Robinson and Allonzo Trier — as you would expect, but also came out of the meetings with praise for other players who could stick around. “For us, development is a key word, oncourt (and) it’s off the court development,” Mills said. “How do we develop these guys into young basketball players and young men and leaders? We have a guy like Damyean Dotson. Lance Thomas said in his exit, ‘Hey, he’s going to be a leader on your team. When he talks the guys on the team all listen to him.’ Those are things we’re trying to develop because we want to find guys as we move into the next phase who can be leaders within the team and what they’re trying to do.” “I’d single out some of the individuals,” Perry said. “You look at a guy like Emmanuel Mudiay. Many people said he’s not going to be able to make it in the NBA and he posts career-highs in points and became a leader. Noah Vonleh, who signed a non-guaranteed contract with us, former first-round pick, got better here and put up career-highs as well. Damyean Dotson comes back second year after struggling in summer league,

shows the entire NBA, hey, he can be a good rotational player on a good basketball team ... . What it showed us, while we didn’t win a ton of games, those guys got better. We talk a lot about development here. It reaffirmed to us that we have a good development team in place, guys, if you look around the league, feel they can come here and improve their games.” Still, on a 17-65 team someone has to score and someone has to play. The question is who developed enough to stick around if better times really are to come. And that question remains unanswered. But Mills insisted that the year wasn’t a waste. “My initial thoughts I’ve never been around a group of guys like this that respected each other the way this team respected each other and rooted for each other, as they were competing for their professional lives and their jobs,” Mills said. “These guys all wanted to compete against the other guys, but also wanted to see everybody do well and see the team do well, that came across clearly in how they played. It came across how we watched them in practice every day and it came across in exit interviews. Every guy who was here wants to be back next year. It felt like there was some way they could contribute to how we’re moving forward. I gained a ton of respect for the group that we had.”

2019 NFL draft: The top positional needs for all 32 teams Mark Maske The Washington Post

With the 2019 NFL draft nearly at hand, here’s a look at the top positional needs of each team before the selections begin Thursday. - NFC East: Dallas Cowboys Needs: TE, WR, CB, DT Analysis: The return of Jason Witten from retirement and ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” broadcast booth is, at best, a partial and temporary repair for the Cowboys’ tight end situation. They need help there, and adding a wide receiver also should be a priority in case the arrival of Randall Cobb does not compensate for the departure of Cole Beasley. The Cowboys are without a first-round pick after sending it to the Raiders in the Amari Cooper trade. New York Giants Needs: QB, WR, offensive line, pass rusher, S Analysis: The Giants’ roster should be considered a total rebuilding project, even if general manager Dave Gettleman won’t acknowledge that. The Giants took a win-now approach last year by keeping Eli Manning, drafting running back Saquon Barkley instead of a quarterback and giving wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. a huge contract. One terrible season later, Beckham has been traded but Manning remains in place. It’s beyond time to put Manning’s successor in place. Philadelphia Eagles Needs: RB, LB, offensive line, CB, pass rusher Analysis: The Eagles traded for Jordan Howard to solidify their running back situation but probably still need another option there. Jason Peters is back for another season at left tackle but it might be wise for the Eagles to add his eventual replacement. The roster remains solid, with the Eagles one season removed from their Super Bowl title, and this is more about tweaking and adding depth than about addressing many glaring immediate needs. Washington Redskins Needs: QB, WR, offensive line, CB, pass rusher Analysis: The Redskins need a young quarterback to go with Case Keenum and Colt McCoy, whether that means trading for Josh Rosen or using an early-round pick. The free agent exit of Jamison Crowder increases the need for the wide receiver corps must be addressed. The signings of guard/tackle Ereck Flowers and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie certainly don’t preclude further moves in those areas. - NFC North: Chicago Bears Needs: K, CB, RB Analysis: The Bears don’t have a pick until the third round, in part because of last year’s trade that sent their firstrounder to Oakland for Khalil Mack. There certainly are no regrets there. It

wouldn’t be surprising to see the Bears use a draft pick on a kicker after releasing Cody Parkey following his doubledoink miss in the NFC playoffs. Detroit Lions Needs: Pass rusher, CB, WR, TE, offensive line Analysis: The Lions added Trey Flowers in free agency but a passrushing complement to him would be a welcome draft-night addition. They also need help in the secondary. There were moves made at wide receiver in free agency with the signings of Danny Amendola and Tommylee Lewis and at tight end with the addition of Jesse James. But more could be done at both positions. Green Bay Packers Needs: Offensive line, WR, TE, CB, S Analysis: General manager Brian Gutekunst was active in free agency, addressing the need for pass-rush help by signing Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith. The biggest issues to be addressed during the draft could be on offense. A retooling of the offensive line must begin soon. More playmakers at wide receiver and tight end would greatly help quarterback Aaron Rodgers as he transitions to the offense of Green Bay’s new head coach, Matt LaFleur. Minnesota Vikings Needs: Offensive line, RB, WR, TE, DT, S Analysis: The Vikings’ first season with Kirk Cousins as their quarterback was a major disappointment. Since there’s no way to undo the Cousins deal now, the Vikings must focus on upgrading his offensive line. Adding a third wide receiver to go with Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs would help, and replacing departed running back Latavius Murray should be on the todo list. The defensive line must be bolstered, and they need a safety to replace Andrew Sendejo. - NFC South: Atlanta Falcons Needs: Offensive line, pass rusher, CB, LB Analysis: Adding guards James Carpenter and Jamon Brown in free agency helped the offensive line but the Falcons shouldn’t stop there. The defensive front also should be addressed, most notably with another pass rusher. Carolina Panthers Needs: Offensive line, WR, TE, pass rusher, LB, S Analysis: Giving Cam Newton more help on offense is a must. The wide receiver group still needs attention and the Panthers suffer whenever tight end Greg Olsen is not in the lineup. The free agent addition of center Matt Paradis was a plus for the offensive line but more could be done there. On defense, another pass rusher would make a difference. The exit of linebacker Thomas Davis creates a need. New Orleans Saints Needs: Offensive line, WR, S, pass

rusher Analysis: The retirement of center Max Unger leaves the Saints needing to restock the interior of their offensive line. The lack of a viable complementary wide receiver to go with standout Michael Thomas could be addressed, along with certain spots on defense. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Needs: LB, pass rusher, S, CB, RB, WR Analysis: There are plenty of needs here but the most glaring are probably on defense. Linebacker Kwon Alexander exited in free agency to sign with the 49ers, and there also are holes to be filled in the secondary. It’s a defensefirst draft, and the Buccaneers seem likely to try to take full advantage of that beginning with the No. 5 overall selection. --NFC West: Arizona Cardinals Needs: QB, offensive line, WR, TE, pass rusher Analysis: It’s almost unthinkable that the Cardinals are back in the QB market a year after trading up to select Josh Rosen 10th overall. But many are convinced they will use the No. 1 overall choice on Kyler Murray and trade Rosen, deeming Murray too perfect for Coach Kliff Kingsbury’s offense to pass up. But there are many other holes on their roster, including offensive line and pass rusher. Los Angeles Rams Needs: DT, RB, offensive line, pass rusher Analysis: The knee issues that plagued running back Todd Gurley at the end of last season could lead the defending NFC champs to fortify that position. Left tackle Andrew Whitworth opted against retiring but the Rams will need to plan for the future there, and guard Rodger Saffold left in free agency. With Ndamukong Suh not re-signed, a defensive tackle could be added to complement Aaron Donald. San Francisco 49ers Needs: Pass rusher, S, WR Analysis: A top pass rusher such as Ohio State’s Nick Bosa or Kentucky’s Josh Allen would be a good fit for the 49ers with the No. 2 overall selection. The trade for Dee Ford and the selection of Bosa or Allen would give the Niners a formidable pass rush. Seattle Seahawks Needs: S, pass rusher, CB, WR Analysis: Seattle franchise-tagged DE Frank Clark but could use a complementary pass rusher. The remaking of the secondary must continue following the departure of safety Earl Thomas. On offense, it’s time to bolster the receiving corps, particularly given the injury issues of Doug Baldwin. - AFC East: Buffalo Bills Needs: Pass rusher, WR, offensive line, RB, TE Analysis: whether Josh Allen develops into a franchise QB, the Bills are

committed to finding out what he can do. They added receivers Cole Beasley, John Brown and Andre Roberts in free agency, but still can do more there and along the offensive line. On defense, getting another pass rusher should be the top priority. Miami Dolphins Needs: QB, offensive line, WR, RB, pass rusher Analysis: The Dolphins parted with Ryan Tannehill and failed to land Teddy Bridgewater to take over at quarterback. They added Ryan Fitzpatrick, but that’s hardly the answer. The Dolphins simply must get a passer early in this draft, whether that means staying put at No. 13 or trading up. New England Patriots Needs: TE, WR, offensive line, pass rusher, QB Analysis: The Patriots just secured yet another Lombardi Trophy but there are issues to be addressed. Rob Gronkowski’s retirement leaves a void at tight end. The receiving corps is depleted. The free agent exits of left tackle Trent Brown and pass rusher Trey Flowers were significant losses. Will the Patriots put Tom Brady’s eventual successor in place? Brady and Bill Belichick should never be underestimated, but the Patriots’ roster needs some help from this draft class. New York Jets Needs: Pass rusher, CB, offensive line Analysis: The Jets were very active in free agency by adding running back Le’Veon Bell, receiver Jamison Crowder and linebacker C.J. Mosley. But plenty of work remains for GM Mike Maccagnan to bolster the roster around second-year QB Sam Darnold. The offensive line must be upgraded and the defense must be fortified, particularly with a pass rusher. - AFC North: Baltimore Ravens Needs: Pass rusher, LB, WR Analysis: The defensive front seven must be addressed following the free agent departures of linebackers C.J. Mosley, Terrell Suggs and Za’Darius Smith. The Ravens also must provide some pass-catching help for secondyear quarterback Lamar Jackson. They’ve made it clear that their offense will be taking a run-first approach, but they need to be able throw the ball efficiently to keep defenses honest. Cincinnati Bengals Needs: LB, S, offensive line, QB, TE Analysis: It’s a new era in Cincinnati with the coaching change from Marvin Lewis to Zac Taylor. It will be interesting to see if the Bengals add a young quarterback to compete with Andy Dalton. The offensive line needs attention, and a tight end might be targeted, even with the re-signing of Tyler Eifert. On defense, the Bengals could use a playmaking linebacker after parting with Vontaze Burfict. Cleveland Browns

three hits and two runs. Ruzich pitched for two innings, striking out four and allowing three hits and three runs. On the Offensive side, Germantown had three hits. Josh Sanzo led the team with a double, and scored the only two runs for the Clippers. Dean Ruzich was credited with one RBI for the game. Shane Dunn went 1 for 4 with a double and Jace Anderson singled. Pine Plains went through two pitchers as well. Calab McCaul pitched five innings and had 10 strike outs, while giving up two runs and three hits. Adam Funk pitched three innings and had four strike outs. Pine Plains collected six hitss. Matthew Damon was 2 for 4 with one run and one RBI. Dylan Parks had a single and one RBI and one run. Dalton Burns had a double.

Needs: Offensive line, S, CB, LB Analysis: The Browns have created plenty of buzz and are well stocked at the skill positions on offense after their trade for Odell Beckham Jr. But the offensive line needs attention, especially after guard Kevin Zeitler was dealt to the Giants. Safety is a top priority on defense after Jabrill Peppers went to New York in the Beckham trade. Pittsburgh Steelers Needs: WR, CB, LB, offensive line Analysis: JuJu Smith-Schuster takes over as a capable No. 1 wideout after the trade of Antonio Brown to the Raiders, but the Steelers must add further receiving options for QB Ben Roethlisberger. The situation probably is fine at running back, with James Conner and Jaylen Samuels, even without Le’Veon Bell. But losing players like Brown and Bell necessitates an infusion of playmaking talent. The defense must be tweaked at inside linebacker and in the secondary. - AFC South: Houston Texans Needs: Offensive line, WR, CB, S Analysis: The Texans allowed QB Deshaun Watson to be sacked 62 times last season. Upgrading the offensive line is an absolute must, and it would be prudent for the Texans to invest multiple picks in trying to bring that about. The secondary has been revamped this offseason and more additions could be made there. Indianapolis Colts Needs: Pass rusher, CB, DT, WR Analysis: Few did better in last year’s draft than the Colts and GM Chris Ballard, emerging with guard Quenton Nelson and linebacker Darius Leonard. Both were named first-team all-pro as rookies. For an encore, Ballard will try to improve a playoff team. The defense needs some pass-rush and secondary help. The offense would benefit by giving QB Andrew Luck another playmaking receiver to go with T.Y. Hilton and free agent pickup Devin Funchess. Jacksonville Jaguars Needs: Offensive line, TE, WR, S Analysis: The Jaguars made a major free agent investment in Nick Foles at quarterback. Now they must give him some help. His offensive line needs to be better. He needs a tight end and perhaps another wide receiver. On defense, the safety situation must be addressed. Tennessee Titans Needs: TE, WR, DT, pass rusher Analysis: The Titans have the personnel to run the football effectively but must be more dynamic in the passing game. That begins with having quarterback Marcus Mariota healthy but also means giving Mariota more pass-catching help. Getting a tight end to eventually replace Delanie Walker would be wise. On defense, adding a defensive tackle to go with Jurrell Casey would help, as would an infusion of young talent at edge rusher.

Wagenen. The Mets diversified their portfolio around Conforto, who the team viewed as a cornerstone on offense. Robinson Cano, a second baseman whose smooth left-handed swing Conforto long admired, and closer Edwin Diaz were acquired via a trade with Seattle. Utility man Jeff McNeil, whom Conforto had played with in the minors, was sticking around after earning a spot with his bat last summer, and Pete Alonso, the first baseman, was on his way to making the major league roster. After a season defined largely by a lack of offensive production, Conforto was ready to have them hitting in front of him, with catcher LOGAN WEISS/COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA Wilson Ramos, another new Germantown pitcher Dan Kellenbenz delivers a pitch to the plate during Friday’s non-league game steady bat, following behind against Pine Plains at Columbia-Greene Community College. him. “We’ve got guys with power, we’ve got guys who can spray the ball all over the field, we have speed, we have guys with incredible plate Print & Digital discipline,” said Conforto, an Each day, our team breaks stories that matter.

Selected by the Mets with the 10th pick in the 2014 amateur draft, he had been marked for the majors from the start. At 21, he made his minor

league debut in Brooklyn. The next season, he drove in a run during his first game in the majors, but then found himself playing with Class AA Binghamton and in Port St. Lucie, Florida, before returning to Queens. In need of more work, he was sent to Class AAA Las Vegas, a step he had initially skipped. “It was kind of bitter to go back down,” he said. On the night he arrived in Vegas, his new manager, Wally Backman, approached him in the dugout. Conforto had just come off a flight and made it to the ballpark during the fourth inning. It was now the seventh. “They’re going to bring this righty in, we need a lefty,” Backman said. “Can you hit?” “Absolutely,” Conforto said. “Yeah, I’ll hit.” Conforto stepped to the plate. The pitcher proceeded to hit him. “Welcome to Vegas,” Conforto said. “Right in the arm.” Conforto carries the memories of his Vegas bruise and his World Series homers with him as he preaches balance this season. Whether it was hitting a home run in three consecutive games or drawing one of the six walks the Mets were issued in an inning against the Minnesota Twins, Conforto has found comfort in leading by example. As he packed his bag for St. Louis, he reiterated what he felt was necessary after losing a series to division rival. “It’s back to work,” he said. “Back to work.”

When it comes to putting women in charge, the Sixers are ahead of the game Marcus Hayes The Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily

PHILADELPHIA — They are on the court, chatting up VIPs. They are in the coaches’ meetings, plotting strategy. On the sidelines, scouting competition. In the war room, recommending trades. They’re building the buildings. They’re hiring and firing. They’re making sure that Bryce Harper and Carson Wentz come to the Wells Fargo Center, they’re making sure that you come, too. The perception, in America: The revolution is coming. The reality, for the 76ers: The revolution has arrived. The Sixers employ a number of thoughtful, smart and confident women in high-profile positions. We’re profiling nine of the most significant individuals who helped the Sixers to their second consecutive 50-plus-win season and another playoff appearance in 2018-19. These are the sort of women you want your daughters to become. They make the Sixers perhaps the most progressive team in the most progressive major sports league in the country, if not the world, according to the 2018 Racial & Gender Report Card by the Institute for Ethics and Diversity in Sport. This year’s report card will include Lindsey Harding, whom the Sixers hired as a scout last summer then promoted to player development coach earlier this month. “The Sixers’ performance is far and above other teams’,” said Richard Lapchick, director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, after hearing about the nine women we interviewed. “That’s an impressive number you just gave me.” The baller league isn’t perfect, Lapchick stressed — the teams have

slipped a bit in the area of hiring women over the last three years — but Commissioner Adam Silver has acknowledged the issue and has addressed it. The NBA began a Women’s Network, and the league also ran a three-day forum at the All Star Game in Charlotte, N.C., in February to promote equality, inclusion and networking. “It was amazing,” said Jill Snodgrass, who is the Sixers’ vice president of service and operations. She met eight women whose jobs mirror hers, and they explained how they balance their hard-driving careers and motherhood. With so many women in charge, and with so many women either on the court (as officials) or around it (as coaches or evaluators), the NBA it makes the NFL and Major League Baseball look like pre-suffrage anachronisms. “The NBA’s doing a great job,” said Jessica Mendoza, who was recently hired as an adviser to the Mets’ front office. She is a gold-medal Olympic softball player who broke ground in 2015 as the first in-booth female broadcaster to call a Major League Baseball game. She now is part of ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball team. “My biggest thing is, I get excited to think about when it becomes not such a big deal.” It’s not a big deal to the Sixers. The league says the Sixers rank among the top 10 teams in representation by women in senior-level positions, and that the Knicks are No. 1. That’s wrong, said a former employee of both the NBA and MSG, the Knicks’ parent company, who remains closely affiliated with the league. “The league is including women who work for all of MSG, not just the Knicks,” he said. “The Sixers have the most women in significant positions

working daily with the team. And it’s not even close.” The Sixers might be leading, but all teams are doing better — even the Dallas Mavericks, who hired a female CEO and a female assistant coach after investigations last season revealed a culture of misogyny and sexual harassment. The sea has changed. The NBA has had five female officials; three remain active. Becky Hammon was the first NBA assistant coach in 2014, with the Spurs, followed by Nancy Lieberman, who was a Kings assistant for three seasons, and Jenny Boucek, first with the Kings and now with the Mavericks. Kristi Toliver (Wizards), Karen Stack Umlauf (Bulls), and Natalie Nakase (Clippers) are all NBA assistants. UConn and WNBA legend Sue Bird joined the Nuggets’ front office last fall, and the Pacers’ Kelly Krauskopf is the NBA’s first female assistant general manager. The league office is nearly 40 percent female, and, the NBA said, it might one day have a female commissioner. “Absolutely,” said Oris Stuart, the league’s chief diversity and inclusion officer. “The hiring of women by our teams and the league is part of our long-term and holistic commitment to attracting and retaining the world’s best talent.” Which is nearly identical to the mission statement of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, the Sixers’ parent company. “We believe that a culture led by strong, innovative leaders produces the best outcomes and positions our teams and brands for long-term success,” said managing partner Josh Harris. “We have incredible women in our organization who are the best in the

industry.” It certainly seems that way. Harding and O’Reilly were schoolchildren when Lara Price, the chief operating officer, joined the team in 1996, just months before Allen Iverson arrived. She now stands third on the masthead, after CEO Scott O’Neil and president Chris Heck, but she knows where bodies are buried that they would never recognize. She loves life near the top, and can’t wait for the next generation to join her. “Having women such as myself for the younger women to look up to gives them an idea: OK, it’s attainable. What do I need to do to get there?” she asked. Price appears just ahead of Susan Williamson, the vice president of business operations and, as a collegian at Virginia, the first female head manager for the Cavaliers’ men’s team — which, of course, means she’s a happy Hoo these days. Tyneeha Rivers is the VP of human resources and also is the mother of former Villanova and current Suns player Mikal Bridges, whom she raised as a single parent as she took a decade to earn her undergraduate degree, one class at a time. Annelie Schmittel, a former college high jumper, is director of player development and travels with the team. Katie O’Reilly, the chief marketing officer, just returned from maternity leave in time to reignite the PhilaUnite playoff campaign. The Sixers stole Amy Hever from the prestigious Smithsonian Institute to head their community engagement wing. Ivana Seric, a 6-foot-2, five-position player from Split, Croatia, started all four seasons at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, where she received PhDs in basketball and math. Now she helps compile and present the daily

analytics report that Brett Brown and his staff use to prepare for opponents, and she was on the bench as an assistant during the NBA summer league in July, one of the first to do so in NBA history. The Sixers are so progressive, they didn’t bother to tell anyone. No big deal. And then there’s Harding, a former Duke star who went No. 1 overall in the 2007 WNBA draft. She was the third female scout in league history and the only one this season. She evaluated pro personnel, which was an especially big deal this season: She helped the Sixers revamp their rotation by adding Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris, Mike Scott, Jonathon Simmons, James Ennis, Greg Monroe and charismatic giant Boban Marjanovic. This group of women does not think of themselves as a “group of women;” rather, they are simply coworkers. They recognize that the example they set will act as a beacon for the next generations, but that’s not their focus. They aren’t crusaders. They’re professionals. A woman won the popular presidential vote in 2016. A woman has been elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, twice. Women run Kraft, Pepsi, Lockheed Martin, and GM. “It’s been proven; women make businesses better,” Price said. Female doctors, lawyers and pilots no longer raise eyebrows, but that doesn’t mean all is well. The genderpay gap remains abysmal, and a female coach in any male sport remains a novelty, as Notre Dame women’s coach Muffet McGraw will tell you. So will Lapchick.

Woman enjoys dating, but is distracted by online romance I am a woman who has re-entered the dating pool after a few years of being single. I have gone on some amazing dates with fabulous men. I met someone online last summer. “Miles” had a similar story — long, bad marriage and now living life to the fullest. I adore his DEAR ABBY personality (and looks), but I have never met him in person. We talk often, sharing dating stories and everything else, knowing it won’t go anywhere as he lives 1,000 miles away. We have developed a strong emotional bond and have become great friends. My emotions have now moved past friendship. I believe Miles can sense it because he has pulled back a little. I know realistically it won’t work due to the distance. We agree that we “met” for a reason, and only time will tell what that reason is or if it goes anywhere. Advice? Smitten In South Carolina

JEANNE PHILLIPS

You and Miles may have met for a reason, but there’s also a reason why the two of you haven’t met in person in nearly a year. The fact that his reaction to the idea that you might be getting serious about him is to pull back makes me wonder whether you may have jumped the gun. Before allowing yourself to fall further in love, you have some work to do to get your emotions back under control so you can move forward and be more receptive to the “great men” in your own area who are available. My mom is 82 and suffering from dementia.

I have called her every Sunday since I left home for college in 1990. We used to talk for an hour, sharing what had happened to us since we last spoke. Abby, I loved those calls, which allowed me to stay close to my mom despite the distance. Now I can barely manage five or 10 minutes. It’s basically just me telling her things about my week. She still remembers me, but she doesn’t talk much. I have started to skip our weekly calls because they are very painful to me. Dad says Mom misses my calls, but I know that’s not true. I know I should call her — even if she doesn’t remember I did — but it hurts so much. Do you have any advice on how to deal with this? Her Son In Austin, Texas You are a good son, and a fortunate one to have had such a close and loving relationship with your mom. Dementia is a terrible disease, one that steals not only memories but the ability to communicate. If you think you are feeling bad or guilty now, imagine how you will feel when she passes away and you are left knowing you didn’t do the things you could to lift her spirits. Please don’t skip those calls. They may no longer last an hour, but your father has told you she is aware of their absence. Believe him. Tell her the good things that are happening in your life. Tell her jokes that will make her laugh. If her disease is as advanced as you say, you can tell them repeatedly and she won’t know the difference. The sound of your voice is what counts, and the words, “I love you, Mom.”

Gallbladder removal didn’t stop formation of gallstones My husband had his gallbladder removed many years ago. In the past few years, he has had six ERCPs to remove gallstones from his bile duct, as he is still making them. He has been told to drink lots of water but that there is no preventive remedy. Do you have any suggestions for how to prevent TO YOUR these gallstones from forming?

GOOD HEALTH Ordinarily, removing the gallbladder stops new gallstones from forming. Having a gallstone left after surgery is not uncommon, but it is very uncommon for people to make multiple new stones years after surgery. One possibility is a diverticulum of the common bile duct. The common bile duct drains bile from the liver and gallbladder into the small intestine; it drains pancreatic fluid, too. It’s possible for a stone to form there, so you should find out if he has one. They should have seen it on one of the ERCPs (a special endoscopy that looks at the bile and pancreatic ducts). If present, a diverticulum can be removed surgically. I asked my colleague at Weill Cornell, Dr. Arun Jesudian, for his expertise, and he said he has seen multiple stones in the liver due to parasitic infections, often in Asian patients. That may require surgical treatment. He also discussed doing a sphincterotomy, which is a procedure to open the end of the common bile duct, to let stones pass through easily. Your husband may benefit from expanding it. Finally, there is a medication

to reduce gallstones, ursodiol (Actigall), which Dr. Jesudian feels had no real downsides and might well help. I’m a female, 53, who suffers from and is being treated for IBS. I have a history of colon cancer in my family. My family members and I go through regular screenings and so far, we’ve been clean. Once in a while, I wake up feeling a sharp, stabbing pain in my rectal area that lasts no more than 20-30 minutes before going away. These pains occur no more than once a month, sometimes every few months, but the pain often happens while I’m asleep and wakes me up. Luckily, there have been no bloody or black stools or urine following this, much to my relief. I’ve talked to my gastroenterologist about it, and he’s as clueless as I am. Irritable bowel syndrome is a common problem. Although it does not predispose to cancer or reduce life expectancy, IBS can have dramatic effects on a person’s social and work lives. The hallmarks of IBS are bowel changes (diarrhea, constipation or sometimes both, alternating) and abdominal discomfort. The discomfort is usually described as cramping, but it is not unheard of to be described as sharp or stabbing. I believe a colonoscopy is appropriate to be sure IBS is not actually a different problem, such as inflammatory bowel disease.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you have a knack for sizing up other people very quickly, and while this can certainly serve you well in certain situations, you may at times encounter problems when your personal affairs are dictated by too quickly judging those you encounter. Still, you are rarely if ever one to use what you think about people against them; you are positive, friendly, accepting and always willing to let people change your mind about them. You do not like gossip and innuendo, probably because you often find yourself the subject of such talk — and though you are very good at turning away from such attention, what you do hear can at times hurt you very deeply. You have many talents, and you would no doubt shine in any one of a wide variety of jobs, but that job that allows you to do things your way and indulge your creative side is really the one for you. Like so many Taurus natives, you are somewhat torn between your need for autonomy and your ability to work with others. Also born on this date are: William Shakespeare, playwright and poet; Shirley Temple Black, actress and ambassador; George Lopez, comedian; Taio Cruz, singer; Valerie Bertinelli, actress; Lee Majors, actor; Roy Orbison, singer. 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. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Someone you know is ready to bust loose in some way, and you must not impede his or her efforts. You can answer a few important questions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — How do you know that what another tells you is really the truth? To-

day, you can — and must — catch up on news that you recently missed. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — The history of your family not only proves a central fascination to you today, but it provides you with the key to unlock a mystery. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — What someone else usually provides is unavailable to you today, and you must be willing to try something new to achieve a familiar result. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s good that you’ve made yourself learn a thing or two about a topic that is likely to become all-important today. You’re ready for anything. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You have been resisting someone else for quite some time, and your resolve is running out. Today you may choose to give in completely. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You can make an important contribution to a group effort. Focus on something that has you moving in a new direction. Victory can be yours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You will wake refreshed and ready to take on the day, but something may happen early on that threatens to derail your efforts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Someone you know well is eager to involve you in something that may seem, on the outset, to be ill-advised. You need more info right away. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You are ready to step out of your comfort zone and try something quite unusual — at least for you. A friend has your back; give it your all. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You’re nearing the end of an important phase; what you’ve discovered about yourself recently can be applied to a new effort almost immediately. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You cannot afford to do a thing merely because someone else tells you to do it; you must be sure that there is something for you to gain.
