CATSKILL — Carlos Graham is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday in the death of aspiring Catskill rapper Brandyn Dayne Foster. Graham, 32, of Catskill was found guilty of second-degree murder by a jury Feb. 15 following a two-week trial. Graham was convicted of killing his former neighbor and romantic rival, Foster, for money, marijuana and jewelry Jan. 27, 2017. Foster, a 31-year-old

aspiring rapper and son of renowned jazz drummer Al Foster was shot twice in a bedroom of his ex-girlfriend Sade Knox’s home at 124 Tool House Road, Catskill, and was buried in nine inches of concrete under the floor in January 2017, police said. Foster’s story was reported in the May 14, 2018, issue of XXL, a magazine dedicated to rap and hip-hop culture. Police charged Ashton Adams, Knox and Graham in connection with the killing. Adams, Graham and Knox

drove Foster’s Cadillac Escalade to a casino in Connecticut to make it appear Foster drove there and Carlos Graham disappeared, prosecutors said. Graham has a criminal history, including convictions for third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance in Columbia County, petty larceny in Athens and attempted petty

larceny in Catskill. The jury also found Graham guilty of all the other charges against him, including second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a class C felony; third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and third-degree grand larceny, both class D felonies; concealment of a corpse and two counts of tampering with physical evidence, both class E felonies. Greene County District Attorney Joseph Stanzione said on the day of Graham’s

conviction that he would pursue the maximum sentence, life in prison, for Graham. Meanwhile, Adams and Foster’s ex-girlfriend Knox, pleaded guilty in March to their roles in the murder plot. They each could serve around half a decade or more in state prison. Murder charges against Knox and Adams were dropped as part of a plea deal. Stanzione did not immediately respond to calls for See RAPPER A2

Delgado pushes universal health care option By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

On the web www.HudsonValley360.com Twitter Follow: @CatskillDailyMail Facebook www.facebook.com/ CatskillDailyMail/

U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, has reintroduced the Medicare-X Choice Act in Congress. If adopted, the bill would create a public option health plan for purchase on individual and small business exchanges. Delgado held a conference call with local media Wednesday morning to discuss the legislation and how it would affect residents in the 19th Congressional District. “I am very excited about the bill,” Delgado said. “We spent a lot of time over the last couple of years meeting with constituents in upstate New York and since being elected, I have done 11 town halls in 11 weeks, and at just

about every single town hall, no matter the county, no matter the party affiliation, individuals have asked about

our health care crisis and what we are going to do about rising prescription costs, rising premiums, rising

deductibles and a lack of quality care,” Delgado said. The legislation combines Medicare physician networks and reimbursement rates with coverage standards from the Affordable Care Act — such as protections for pre-existing conditions — providing a new public option available to people of all ages, Delgado said. The bill would also enable workers with employer-provided insurance to maintain their coverage. Delgado is joined by U.S. Reps. John Larson, D-1, of Connecticut, and Brian Higgins, D-26, in presenting the bill. “By building on the successful framework of the Medicare system, Medicare-X creates an additional See DELGADO A2

their home at 2753 Route 145 exactly one year ago. “I think we’re doing the best we could be doing in such a horrible situation,” Cathy Ballone, the Mammanos’ daughter and aunt to the three children, said Wednesday. “The holidays were hard, but me and my brothers are closer than we’ve ever been.” John Mammano, 35, the father of the three children and sole survivor of the fire, suffered burns over 15 percent of his body, including his face, hands and arms. “He has some ongoing health issues, but nothing to too significant,” Ballone said. “Still, it was devastating. That house was the only home he knew - on top of losing my mom and dad and the kids.” A year later, unanswered questions remain about the cause of the fire. Investigators believe the fire started sometime between 6 and 6:15 a.m. April 2 and was reported at 6:37 a.m. by a passing motorist. According to the report on the cause, the fire originated in the wall of the first-story living room, said Trooper Steven Nevel, public information officer for the state police, who investigated the fire. But the exact cause of the fire remains officially undetermined, Nevel said. “Due to the extensive damage to the structure, it is unknown if the fire was accidental or intentional,” Nevel said.

everyone in the community.” Ballone declined to talk about her niece and nephews. She remembered her parents as gracious and kind people. “My mother was an RN [registered nurse] for over 45 years,” Ballone said. “She dedicated her life to taking care of other people. She was the sweetest person that I have ever known.” About her father, Ballone said, “He dedicated his whole life to his family. We were everything to him.” Both grandparents and the grandchildren are interred together at the Town of Catskill Cemetery. At Christmas, Ballone and her family put boxes wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper, and encouraged children and friends to write cards and letters and leave them at the gravesite. “We felt it was important for the kids to have something positive in relation to the tragedy around the holidays and it gave them an opportunity to write them [the three children] letters and cards even though they are gone,” Ballone said. Ballone thanked the community for supporting her family over the past year. “In the last few days, people have been messaging us, telling us we’re in their prayers and thoughts,” Ballone said. “Their support has been tremendous and it continues a year later.”

Not knowing what caused the fire is not as devastating as what the family lost that April 2 morning, Ballone said. For some emergency responders who fought and investigated the blaze, it was the worst in recent memory. “It was definitely hard on the guys but they got together and helped and supported each other,” East Durham Volunteer Fire Company First Assistant Chief Joe van Holsteyn

said Wednesday. “They are trying to keep their spirits up and go forward. We’re a very close fire company. Everyone is there to help and support each other.” “It was a horrible tragedy,” said retired state police Senior Investigator Pete Kusminsky, who worked on the case. “It was a terrible loss and took its toll on all of us — from the investigation team, the fire personnel, the school staff and to

felony; concealment of a human corpse, a class E felony; and tampering with physical evidence, a class E felony. Adams, 26, pleaded guilty on March 12 to first-degree hindering prosecution, a class D felony; concealment of a human corpse, a class E felony; and tampering with physical evidence, a class E felony. During Graham’s trial, prosecutors argued that Knox

lured Foster into her home with text messages, and that Graham, Knox and Adams conspired to hide Foster in a crawl space before pouring concrete over the body. The jury found that Graham killed and entombed Foster as part of a plot to get his money and valuables. Adams and Knox are scheduled to be sentenced May 9. Knox is expected to be

sentenced to an indeterminate term of five to 15 years in state prison on all of the charges. Adams is expected to be sentenced to an indeterminate term of 4 1/3 to 13 years in state prison.

protections provided in the Affordable Care Act, with an efficient health care delivery alternative that lowers the cost curve for consumers.” The legislation would put premiums into a new, separate trust fund that is unrelated to the established Medicare trust fund for individuals ages 65 and over. The time has come for universal health care in the United States, Delgado said. “This bill finally brings our country to universal health care,” Delgado said. “We are the only developed country in the world without some form of universal health care, despite being the wealthiest country in the world. That makes absolutely no sense.” Susie Walker, of Hudson, agreed health care should be available to all. “I am for it,” Walker said. “Everybody deserves health care.” The plan would provide a more affordable option for many and would reduce costs by capitalizing on the existing Medicare model, Delgado said. “The cost of administering Medicare is significantly lower than the cost of administering private insurance claims, so there will be built-in cost savings that will be passed down to the would-be individuals who are relying on it,” Delgado said. The bill includes provisions expanding the number of people who would be eligible for tax credits that would reduce

the cost of their insurance, Delgado added. “This bill would actually expand access to tax credits. The Affordable Care Act allows for tax credits for people with incomes up to 400 percent of the federal poverty line, whereas the Medicare-X Choice Act would remove that cap and allow people who make more than the threshold to be eligible for the tax credit.” The federal poverty line is dependent on family size, according to the Internal Revenue Service website. The new proposal would offer tax credits to individuals paying no more than 13 percent of their annual income toward insurance premiums. “This is a practical, robust way to achieve universal health care, and I am thrilled to be able to take the lead on it,” Delgado said. Not everyone is pleased with the proposed legislation. Coxsackie resident Cathy Robinson said she opposed the plan. “This doesn’t work for me because somebody has to pay for it,” Robinson said. “They are all saying it will be free, universal health care, but who is paying for it? Me, the taxpayer.” A hospital spokesman from Columbia Memorial Health referred questions about the bill to a local health care association. “We appreciate Rep. Antonio Delgado’s efforts to expand access to health coverage,” said Cristina Batt, vice president of federal relations

for the Health Care Association of New York State. “HANYS looks forward to continuing to work closely with him to ensure affordable coverage for all New Yorkers by defending and building on the Affordable Care Act.” If the bill is passed, Medicare-X would be available in 2021 in rural areas of the country where there is one health insurance provider on the exchange or none at all, as well as areas where there is a shortage of health plan options. It would be made available on the individual market in 2024, and would join the Small Business Health Options Program exchange in 2025.

affordable health care option for the American people,” Larson said in a statement. “This is a solution that is bold and achievable, and will ensure that every American has access to high quality, affordable health care.” Daniel Jacoby, of Hudson, supports making the public option available. “I am on Medicare myself and I love it,” Jacoby said. “I think it should be an option. I don’t know if it should be for everyone, but it should be at least available if people want to buy into it.” The Medicare-X Choice Act would use the existing health care system and provide a new option for people of all ages. It would be offered through individual and family coverage plans using the existing Medicare provider network, which would expand to include pediatricians, children’s hospitals and other providers not on the Medicare network. The plan would cover benefits such as maternity, newborn care and pediatric services, and would allow for prescription drug negotiation through Medicare Part D. “This bill provides people under 65 a public option already proven to be successful — Medicare,” Higgins said in a statement. “By doing so, it provides greater choice and competition, building on the

WALTON — In 2018, the Watershed Agricultural Council (WAC) launched its Forest Conservation Easement Program. “The goal of the Forest Conservation Easement Program is twofold,” stated Easement Program Director Ryan Naatz. “We aim to preserve large tracts of private forestland for both the water quality protection they provide and for the benefit of local industries that they serve. Our easements promote a working landscape, with timber harvesting as well as bluestone mining allowed in accordance to management plans that protect water quality.” This program is already proving to be quite successful, as WAC recently closed on its largest project to date, over 1,000 acres of forestland. Ann Rasmussen and her family have owned and managed their lands in Walton for timber production since the 1960s. “This was a partnership that just made sense,” Rasmussen declared. “The goals of WAC and the Forest Conservation Easement Program closely align with our family’s goals. The easement allows us to continue to use the land for timber production, recreation and hunting as it has been for generations. Our partnership with WAC has helped us create a sustainable plan for the next generation to continue to work and enjoy the property as we have been fortunate to.” Rasmussen’s family works with local forester Rod Jones of Northeast Timber Services to manage their forestlands. “WAC’s easement program is a great service to the local area. It keeps the

land in timber production while also keeping it in private hands and on local tax rolls,” he noted. “I work with many landowners who have conservation easements. Sometimes families

“

Conservation easements can be a great tool for helping families achieve their goals and be able to pass lands to the next generation.

Maurice D. Hinchey. Located in Mt. Tremper, near the entrance to the park on Route 28, the facility is the only visitor center in the 700,000-acre Catskill Park. It continues as a partnership between the Catskill Center and

the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. According to Jeff Senterman, executive director of the Catskill Center, the number of people coming to the visitor center increased by 36 percent from 2017 through 2018, from 7,956 to 10,804, and by 117 percent from 4,969 in 2015 (its first year with only six months of operation) to the end of 2018. “We’re thrilled with this growth rate and believe the Catskills Visitor Center name will further accelerate recogni-

manufacturing, forestry and logging jobs and 0.8 forest related-tourism and recreation jobs. Since 2001 WAC has partnered with local farm families and landowners to conserve more than 28,000 acres of working agricultural lands throughout the NYC Watershed through its wellestablished Agricultural Conservation Easement program. Conservation easements are voluntary agreements through which landowners are compensated for the development rights on their land, agreeing to keep them in productive agricultural or forest use forever. WAC has conserved over 1,300 acres with their new Forest Conservation Easement program since

its launch, with another 1,600 acres of projects expected to be completed in 2019, bringing the total conserved acreage of working lands by WAC to over 30,000. The NYC Watershed is 78 percent forested and 75 percent privately owned, and provides over 1.2 billion gallons of drinking water to over 9.5 million people daily. WAC’s Conservation Easement Program is funded in partnership with the NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the agency charged with maintaining the City’s drinking water quality. The easement program came into fruition through the 2000 Filtration Avoidance Determination (FAD) which allowed the city to forgo costly filtration plants if they would fund upstream conservation measures. The Watershed Agricultural Council is a non-profit based in Walton, whose mission is to promote the economic viability of agriculture and forestry and the protection of water quality in the New York City watershed through the conservation of working landscapes. Council members consist of local farmers, landowners and industry professionals. The WAC Easement Program is now accepting applications for conservation easements.

OUR VIEW

A modest proposal to restrict vaping Smoking among teenagers is a publichealth nightmare waiting to happen. But is an unlikely solution, pardon the pun, right under our noses? Medical experts are building a strong case against e-cigarettes, but a recent yearlong study offers a more ambiguous answer. The study, published in late January in the New England Journal of Medicine, surveyed about 900 British smokers seeking to kick the habit. Half were given conventional nicotine substitutes such as gum or patches. The other half got e-cigarettes. Researchers checked the carbon monoxide levels in their subjects’ breath, a telltale sign of heavy cigarette smoking. About 20 percent of those who got e-cigarettes abstained from smoking, while only 10 percent in the gum and patch group were able to quit. The results suggest that vaping, which mimics the experience of smoking more closely than other nicotine substitutes, can help some smokers quit, according to a Washington Post Wire Service report on the study. But there’s more to this story than meets the eye. Researchers also found that, among those who quit smoking, most of the e-cigarette group continued to vape after a year, according to the report. The gum and patch group stopped using nicotine substitutes altogether. The claim that e-cigarettes are a safe alternative for traditional cigarettes is under fire by anti-smoking advocates, mainly because their long-term effects remain unknown. E-cigarettes pose an alarming problem, said Karen dePeyster, program director for

Tobacco-Free Action for Columbia and Greene Counties. “The use of e-cigarettes is a huge problem in the school systems in both counties,” dePeyster said. “We have a youth action coordinator and at the schools’ request she has been in almost all the schools in both counties providing information on e-cigarettes, on nicotine addiction, on health risks, to students, faculty and parents in both counties. All the schools are seeing this as a huge problem.” Beyond the health impacts that smoking has on adults, there are significant reasons to stop teens from taking up the habit, dePeyster said. “One of the biggest reasons to keep tobacco out of the hands of teens is that nicotine causes adverse changes in the developing brain,” dePeyster said. “During adolescence the brain has not completely matured, especially the area responsible for executive functions and attention performance. This is one of the last brain areas to mature and is still developing. Smoking during adolescence increases the risk of developing psychiatric disorders and cognitive impairment in later life and are at increased risk for attention deficit.” The evidence from the studies and testimony from local tobacco-free advocates suggests the answer lies somewhere in the middle, a modest proposal that is unlikely to satisfy either side. Meanwhile, state elected officials should ban the sale of e-cigarettes to young people under 21 and eliminate advertising aimed at teenagers.

ANOTHER VIEW

Belatedly, it occurred to the Trump administration that closing the U.S.-Mexico border, as the president threatened, posed the risk of paralyzing manufacturing assembly lines, leaving grocery shelves bare and throwing the U.S. economy into a tailspin, if not outright recession. Bad idea. So now the White House has seized on Plan B, which seems to entail leaving commercial traffic intact while locking down the frontier for everyone else, meaning huge numbers of people who cross in both directions daily. This approach is a wild overreaction that would not stop the surge of asylum-seeking migrants. However, it is in keeping with the president’s own instincts, which are untroubled by the prospect of inflicting misery on foreigners. Each day, about 1 millionpeople cross the 1,954-mile frontier, making it by far the world’s most transited border. The vast majority do so legally. Trump’s closure would play havoc with those people’s lives, livelihoods, schedules and families. And make no mistake: Many would be U.S. citizens. Meanwhile, desperate refugees would continue to cross the border to request asylum; recently, some have been lining up alongside the existing border fence. Still, in the hijacked name of border security — or, more to the point, a migrant surge he cannot abide — the president would have it be known that he is prepared to slam the door unless Mexico and Central America’s immigrant-generating countries take steps to impede the flow of migrants. The demand is reasonable enough — al-

though Mexico has already taken extensive steps to cooperate with Washington, both during the 2014 migration spike and in the current surge. Its government has issued work permits and asylum to thousands of migrants who want to remain in Mexico. As for El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, the so-called Northern Triangle countries from which most migrant families are now leaving in hopes of entering the United States, there are at least two problems. One is their limited capacity to stanch emigration and close their borders in the face of waves of their own citizens fleeing crime, violence and dysfunction. Another is the diminution of Washington’s leverage by Trump’s foolish decision to halt the flow of hundreds of millions of dollars of U.S. aid intended to tackle the very problems impelling the current wave of migration. It’s hard to know where the president’s bluster ends and real action may begin. “I’m not playing games,” he said last Friday, in threatening again to shutter the border after assigning blame to Mexico for the influx of migrants. Four days later, it dawned on him that threatening to choke off trade is, in fact, a game, and a ludicrous one at that. The number of migrants now flooding the border is a genuine humanitarian crisis, but not one susceptible to solution by hyperbole and bluff. It must be treated with greater resources at the border and also at the source, in Central America. In the absence of a real longterm strategy along those lines, Trump can huff and puff and blow the doors shut, but the migration problem will not disappear.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘I became a journalist to come as close as possible to the heart of the world.’ HENRY R. LUCE

After more than two years of a presidency in which the commander in chief paints the United States as victims of our allies, undercuts the North American Treaty Organization (NATO), announces a precipitous withdrawal from Syria, lavishes praise on dictators and declares he wants to charge allies for basing our troops overseas, one could understand if large numbers of Americans didn’t think much of NATO or the United States’ role in the world. The good news is that President Donald Trump is awful at persuading people outside his base; the bad news is that Republicans do listen to him and Americans are generally already souring on the United States taking an active role in the world. The Pew Research Center finds: “Nearly eight-in-ten Americans (77 percent) — including large majorities in both parties — say being a member of NATO is good for the United States. These numbers are essentially unchanged from April 2016. . . . A plurality of the public (42 percent) says NATO is about as important to the U.S. as it is to other NATO countries. About a third (34 percent) say the alliance is more important to other NATO countries, while just 15 percent say it is more important to the U.S.” However, the parties have essentially flipped sides when it comes to support for a more active foreign policy. “Nearly half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (47 percent) say NATO is more important to other NATO countries than the U.S.; only a quarter of Democrats and Democratic leaners say the same.” It is now the Democrats who see more clearly the need for international leadership. “Today, 51 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners say it’s best for the country

to be active in world affairs. . . . These views have changed little since 2017, but in 2014 only 38 percent of Democrats said it was best for the future of the U.S. for it to be active globally.” Among Republicans, 57 percent oppose a strong role in the world while 37 percent say we should be active in the world. As Democrats attract more collegeeducated voters who favor active foreign policy and the GOP becomes a party of non-college-educated whites who don’t favor active foreign policy, you can image that the trend will continue. Overall, that comes out to 49 percent favoring a lessactive foreign policy while 44 percent favor a more-active approach. On one level, after a long war without a definitive ending and other foreign policy debacles (e.g., the Iraq War, failing to stop Syrian genocide when we could), you can understand why Americans might sour on an active foreign policy. One wonders, however, whether they oppose foreign policy engagement per se, or military intervention. One clue comes from attitudes about our allies: “A majority of Americans (54 percent) say “the U.S. should take into account the interests of its allies even if it means making compromises with them,” while 40 percent say “the U.S. should follow its own national interests even when its allies strongly disagree.” “A wide partisan gap remains on how accommodating the U.S. should be toward its allies. A strong majority of Democrats and Democratic leaners (69 percent) say the U.S. should compromise with allies. About half as many Republicans and Republican leaners (35 percent) say the same.” Trump’s “America First” mantra does seem to be the watchword in the Republican Party these days. And yet, despite reluctance

to engage in the world a substantial majority of voters know that the world would be worse off without the United States. “A large majority of Americans (64 percent) say that problems in the world would be worse without U.S. involvement. . . . About threein-ten (29 percent) say that U.S. involvement in the world generally hurts more than it helps.” And despite their aversion to an active foreign policy, Republicans overwhelmingly think the world would be worse off: “Currently, 76 percent say problems would worse without U.S. involvement, up from 60 percent three years ago.” It’s hard to know exactly what to make of these contradictory impulses. However, for politicians who understand how important that active engagement in the world is to our own security and prosperity, they might want to stress these ideas: n If we exercise diplomatic and economic leadership, we are more likely to have the support of allies and to avoid the need for military engagement; n A more violent and unstable world is bad news for the United States since refugees, terrorism (cyber or otherwise), epidemics and climate change don’t respect national borders; and n We gain respect and influence when we are reliable, consistent and adhere to our own values — including respect for the integrity of borders and human rights. In any event, Democratic presidential candidates should understand that the country at large, and Democrats specifically, don’t see retreat from the world as a benefit. Nor nor do they think we can go it alone. It’s up to contenders for the Democratic nomination to articulate a responsible vision of a postTrump foreign policy. Jennifer Rubin writes reported opinion for The Washington Post.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Life is short, forgive and forget To the editor: At one time or another we have all taken that dreadful trip to the hospital. We might be getting a treatment of our own, or as a visiter. Whatever the case may be, it is a time when family and friends rally together. Suddenly those things we could be holding on to seem less important and are pushed aside. There might be a brother that you have not spoken to in years over some petty argument, or misunderstanding. It could be a mother who has always been taken for granted. Maybe it’s the baby brother who you never found time for. Now we think about all the bedtime stories that were never read; all the extra hugs and kisses and telling someone how much they are loved. There was

that promise you made to your son, that you would come, and get him on the weekend but never came. So here it is, you might have a brother who gets treated as a total stranger or a friend who is as close to you as a brother. Father, mother, uncle, daughter are all mere words unless we at least try to live up to them. They say that life is too short and in an instance it can be gone, there are no guarantees. Still in many cases there might still be time to set things straight, and make them right. You might be having a perfectly good day only to receive word that someone you care about has been rushes to the hospital. It was a mid-summer day absolutely beautiful, when I received word that my baby

Felicity Huffman, Lori Loughlin and others face judge in college admissions scandal By Matthew Ormseth and Joel Rubin Los Angeles Times (TNS)

BOSTON — For the swarms of cameras, reporters and passers-by stopping to gawk, what is about to unfold could be another red carpet appearance for Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin. But the path, being cleared for them by police and Homeland Security agents, leads not to another awards show but to a courthouse in Boston, where the actresses and 13 other parents are slated to appear Wednesday afternoon before a federal judge. Huffman and Loughlin are among 33 parents charged last month in a vast conspiracy to sneak the children of wealthy and powerful families into elite universities. Wednesday’s proceedings mark the first time Huffman and Loughlin will appear in Boston federal court. Although most of the defendants live in California, they were charged by the Massachusetts U.S. attorney’s office, which was tipped off to the college admissions scheme while

investigating an unrelated securities fraud that had targeted Massachusetts investors. Of the total 50 people charged or indicted last month, three have pleaded guilty: William “Rick” Singer, a Newport Beach, Calif., college admissions consultant and the scheme’s admitted mastermind; Rudy Meredith, a longtime women’s soccer coach at Yale who admitted to pocketing $860,000 in bribes to recruit the children of Singer’s clients; and John Vandemoer, Stanford’s former sailing coach, who pleaded guilty to a racketeering charge. Huffman is accused of paying $15,000 for Singer’s alleged accomplice — a 36-year-old Harvard graduate named Mark Riddell — to correct her daughter’s answers on the SAT. Loughlin and her husband, designer Mossimo Giannulli, are charged with paying Singer $400,000 to have their two daughters admitted to USC in a bogus recruiting scam. Huffman and Loughlin appeared briefly last month in federal court in Los Angeles, where a judge set their bond and im-

posed some travel restrictions. The parents charged in the scheme are under pressure to strike a deal quickly with federal prosecutors to avoid more charges, which could be brought in an indictment, people familiar with the matter have

said. Some have indicated recently that they are close to a deal. An attorney for Devin Sloane, a Los Angeles water systems executive who allegedly paid Singer $250,000 to have his son admitted to the University of Southern

California as an elite water polo player, said in a court filing on Tuesday that Sloane was “currently in discussions that are calculated to resolve this matter without a trial.” An attorney for Jane Buckingham, a Los Angeles marketing guru accused of paying Singer $50,000 to doctor her son’s ACT, wrote in a court filing that Buckingham was “currently considering a resolution to this matter that would not require a hearing.” Attorneys for both Sloane and Buckingham have asked a judge to delay their appearances on Wednesday, citing their proximity to a deal with prosecutors. The judge, M. Page Kelley, had not responded to their requests as of Wednesday morning. Fifteen parents will appear in court on Wednesday. Thirteen, including Huffman and Loughlin, will make initial appearances, in which a judge sets bond and the conditions for their release. They will not enter a plea. Two more parents, Gregory and Amy Colburn, will be arraigned on Wednesday. Like Huffman, Loughlin and the vast

majority of their co-defendants, the Colburns were initially charged with one felony count: conspiracy to commit fraud. But a federal grand jury indicted the couple last week on an additional charge of money laundering, signaling the pressure prosecutors are willing to exert on parents slow or unwilling to cooperate. Patric Hooper, an attorney for the Colburns, said prosecutors refused to show the couple’s legal team some of the evidence they’d gathered against them. Hooper said they had also made it clear that any deal would involve both husband and wife pleading guilty to a felony. “We weren’t about to plead to something we can’t see,” Hooper said last week.

House Democrats launch effort to expand Violence Against Women Act By Todd Ruger

that you can make whatever point and then sit down and negotiate.” When asked about legislative strategy and the gun provision, Rep. Debbie Dingell said that “sometimes things are as simple as they should be.” “If we’re truly trying to protect women then how can you not put that in there?” the Michigan Democrat said. A rule approved Tuesday provides for debate on 40 amendments to the bill, which would reauthorize the law through fiscal 2024. A vote on final passage is expected Thursday.

CQ-Roll Call (TNS)

WASHINGTON — House Democrats take their first step this week to expand the Violence Against Women Act in an effort to prompt the Senate to do more than simply extend the lapsed domestic violence law — and they’ve included a contentious gun control provision. The House is expected to pass the bill to reauthorize the 1994 law and add language to expand housing protections for victims, give more help to Native American women and enhance law enforcement tools through grants. It would also expand the category of who could lose the right to possess guns under the law, adding those convicted of dating violence or misdemeanor stalking to close the so-called “boyfriend loophole.” That gun provision could become a focus of the debate, since the National Rifle Association reportedly will score the votes on the bill, and it is among the changes that make it unlikely the Republicancontrolled Senate would go along with the House version. But several Democrats argued that passing their version, which they touted as a life-saving measure, would solidify their preferences ahead of any conference committee if the Senate decides to pass its own version. So far, the Senate has made efforts to reauthorize the law through the end of the fiscal year, most recently as part of a disaster aid bill that fell short of the votes needed Monday on a procedural motion. Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst is working with California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein on a Senate proposal, but said last week that the text is still being negotiated.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, shown in January.

“Our calculation was that we’re in charge now, we can pass a bill that we think is a comprehensive bill to protect all women,” House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland told reporters Tuesday. “I’m hopeful that the Senate will take it up ... or ask to go to conference on it. But we need to reauthorize it.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of California, set the stage for this week’s debate and floor vote in February, when she did not agree to a short-term extension of VAWA in a fiscal 2019 spending bill. A leadership aide said agreeing to a shortterm extension would reduce the incentive for the Senate to negotiate with the House on a broader reauthorization. Pelosi said last Thursday that opposition from the NRA would not jeopardize the bill in the House. “There’s very discrete provisions that relate to protecting women’s safety. And they’re against it,” Pelosi said. “I don’t

see that it has much impact on the passage of the bill in the House of Representatives.” When the Violence Against Women Act extension was excluded from the final fiscal 2019 spending package, a senior Democratic aide said it would have “zero impact” because the grant programs related to the law were funded in the Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bill contained in the package. Rep. Tom Cole told CQ on Tuesday that there are some changes that Republicans would accept, such as the Native American tribal provisions, and he would vote for it. But he said the gun measure is something Republicans generally wouldn’t support and Democrats need to be willing “to sit down with the Senate and the president.” “You’re taking something that should be an easy bipartisan reauthorization of existing law and complicating it to make a political point,” the

Oklahoma Republican said. “You’re certainly free to do that, but in the meantime, you should have at least extended it through the fiscal year so

PRATTSVILLE — Paid a visit to Maple Hill Syrup production for a tour on Sunday. Couldn’t have asked for a better time to visit. Cold rain outside but inside with the wood fire going to make maple syrup from the sap, it was a warm feeling all around. Owner and producer Danny Dymond was in attendance to answer questions and accept compliments on the taste of his syrup. This year many flavored syrups were available and all agreed they were very delicious. More! More! Maybe because I grew up on Beech Ridge, just over the ridge from the Dymond farm, think Danny’s syrup is the best. Most people who grew up on the mountaintop prefer the light/ medium amber grade. Danny and Libby, you have the greatest syrup! Danny said he has made about 760 gallons so far this year. Good luck and keep the syrup coming. Special greetings to Dan — keep reading The Scoop. Get well wishes go out to Tom Osborn for knee repair and Sgt. Andrew Rikard, also with leg issues. Speedy recovery, gentlemen. The flu is still around and making many sick. The Rotterdam Aquarium trip for 20 veterans from the Stratton VAMC, Albany, sponsored by the American Legion Virgil E. Deyo Post 1327 and American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327, Prattsville, for March 28 was cancelled due to the veterans being sick with the flu. Therapist Michele Ferrauilo is taking another group of veterans to Colorado and as soon as she gets back, the aquarium trip will be rescheduled. Get well wishes go out to all the veterans. The Rev. Dewitt Olmstead and family are back in residence at their home on Main Street. The family matriarch Nicole presented them with a new son, Judah James, on March 10. Judah is the family’s second son and eighth child. The Olmstead children’s ages range from toddlers to teenagers. The Rev. Dewitt is the pastor of the Prattsville Commu-

nity Church. The Community Church’s congregation hosted a baby shower for the proud family on Sunday, March 31. Ten members of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 1327 gathered at the Prattsville Tavern on Wednesday, March 27, for their monthly luncheon — Lana Breigle, Pat Bifolco, Anita Creazzo, Tammy Clark, Mary Cline, Pat Minew, Nancy Orr, Cathy Martino, Marianne Krauss and Ginny Gurley. There were no lack of choices from Kenny’s varied luncheon menu. Julie was kept busy keeping the ladies happy, and they were very satisfied with whatever they ordered. A good time was had by all. Another snowbird has returned home from the sunny south. Phyllis Scelzi of Mosquito Point is now back in our midst and ready to get involved with all our happenings. Welcome home, Phyllis. John Maynard is busy making venison jerky. Hope he is making a lot of it because he was promising to give some away. The American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327 will meet at 7 p.m. April 9 at the Prattsville Town Hall. Final arrangements for the Easter Egg Hunt to be held on April 20, at Youngs’ Ace Hardware, Prattsville, will be made. This is a free event for all. Also, poppies will be handed out for distribution. The American Legion Virgil E. Deyo Post 1327 will have their monthly meeting at 7 p.m. on April 12 at the Prattsville Town Hall. Heard from Voluntary Services at Albany VA that their food pantry is in dire need of peanut butter, pasta, baked beans, canned fruit. Any help would be appreciated. Did you see the rainbow Sunday at 7 a.m.? Never saw a morning rainbow before. It was very vivid and large. Some of the mountains were still in shadow but Bear Pen, encased in snow, had the morning sun shining on it and all made a dawn worth getting up for. Happy birthday to Bob Gurley Jr. on April 8. Happy birthday greetings to Crystal Cornell on April 11.

Women Craft and Bake Sale, 10 a.m. to noon at the Lexington Farmers Market; Nov. 5, Election Day Dinner, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Lexington UMC. So far this spring I haven’t seen any goldfinches. A sure sign of spring is when the male goldfinches start to turn their beautiful bright yellow. Until next week take care, be thankful and please be kind to one and all.

The Orchestra Now performs Verdi’s Requiem at Bard Fisher Center ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON — The Orchestra Now (TON) continues its season at Bard Fisher Center on April 6 and 7 with Verdi’s celebrated Requiem led by TON’s music director, Leon Botstein. The immense work is set for double choir and orchestra, and will feature soprano Margaret Tigue, mezzo-soprano Chloë Schaaf, and bass Wei Wu. The work was written in memory of the Italian writer Verdi greatly admired who had a great influence on Italian Romanticism, Alessandro Manzoni. It received its premiere on the first anniversary of Manzoni’s death at the San Marco Church in Milan, conducted by Verdi himself. The powerful “Libera me” movement which draws the work to a close was originally composed by Verdi as part of an unsuccessful project he led to write Massa Per of Rossini with 12 other composers, in memory of Rossini shortly after his passing. After its premiere, the Requiem was quickly noticed and performed in concert halls around the world, which was generally unusual for religious music. Tickets: $25–$35, available online fishercenter.bard.edu, by calling the box office at 845.758.7900, or in person at the Fisher Center box office. Saturday April 6, 2019 at 8 p.m. Sunday April 7, 2019 at 2 p.m. Leon Botstein, conductor Margaret Tigue, soprano, VAP ’20 Chloë Schaaf, mezzo-soprano, VAP ’19 Wei Wu, bass Members of Bard Conservatory Orchestra, Bard College Chamber Singers, and

A pint-sized pachyderm with king-sized ears By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

Disney’s original “Dumbo” (1941) ran a trim 64 minutes; it was a musical and essentially a two-character comedy-drama about a pint-sized pachyderm and the mouse that taught him self-confidence — and how to fly. The new “Dumbo” runs almost two hours and is the latest in a series of Disney liveaction makeovers. Director Tim Burton and writer Ehren Kruger completed a script with revisions added throughout the course of development. As with the original movie, Burton and Kruger build this story around a baby elephant born with a stunted trunk and enormous ears in a traveling circus. But as if in response to changing social and cultural tastes, Burton and Kruger set the action in 1919 immediately after World War I. They add a hero who returns from the war without his left arm, blown off in a German attack, and a callous showman who wants Dumbo for himself. Burton and Kruger turn “Dumbo” into a dark fairy tale but one without much emotional complexity, and there is a happy ending for all. Burton and Kruger discard the musical angle and there is no helpful mouse. Instead, Dumbo is adopted by the war hero’s two motherless children, a boy and a

FILE PHOTO

girl. In an intriguing reversal, the girl is the strong-willed, ambitious sibling who dreams of becoming a scientist while the boy is mostly ornamental. Dumbo becomes more than a pet; he becomes their friend. The fact that he has to inhale feathers to fly goes unexplained. Dumbo is a consistently sympathetic character, and Burton guides his development from whimpering puppy-dog cuteness to courageous aerial hero with convincing skill. The pivotal character of showman Vandavere plans to buy the little circus and merge it with his garish, grotesquely excessive amusement park Dreamland then fire the circus

performers and exploit Dumbo to make a fortune. Vandavere, played by Michael Keaton, ruthlessly sends Dumbo’s mother away to an attraction called Nightmare Island, is a self-centered, fast-talking manipulator. The pink-elephant dream sequence in the original “Dumbo” is supplanted here by a less emotional but more physically exciting dance in which the performers use soap bubbles and special lighting effects to create giant floating pink elephants that hover over and transfix Dumbo. The movie treats Dumbo’s first appearance with suspense by having the children and their father (Colin Farrell) discover

him hiding under a large bale of hay. They remove the hay from one large blue eye and then slowly uncover the whole animal, revealing his sad face and gigantic ears. His first attempt at flying takes place in an enclosed train car and the little elephant bumps into the walls and ceiling and crashes to the floor. It’s an impressive and ingenious introduction to an extraordinary talent that will flower later in the movie. Technically, “Dumbo” functions on a high level. Burton flawlessly knits together the live action and the digital effects. The train car sequence is a good example as Farrell and the children duck and dodge the little elephant as he zips around out of control. Burton tones down his customary black-onblack visual style for something more expressionistic. Other highlights include Dumbo’s exuberant flights around the big top and the climactic rescue of Dumbo’s mother, where rapid editing underscores the excitement. “Dumbo”’s exaggeration and simplicity keep it from equaling the achievement of the 1941 original, but Burton’s affinity for freaky anti-heroes (“Batman,” “Edward Scissorhands”) and the script changes give the movie a distinctive, independent identity.

CALENDAR LISTINGS TSL Movies April 4 - April 10 n Joseph Pulitzer: Voice of the

People — From director Oren Rudavsky. Adam Driver narrates while Liev Schreiber, Tim Blake Nelson, and Rachel Brosnahan voice key roles. Together, they bring to life the virtually unknown American icon Joseph Pulitzer who began as a penniless, Jewish immigrant from Hungary and grew into one of America’s most admired and feared media igures. The rare story of the man behind the prize, who spoke of “fake news” and the importance of freedom of the press over a century ago. His New York newspaper The World spoke to an unprecedented number of readers with powerful journalistic ideals and an artistry and gamechanging originality. 2019. 1h25m. n Apollo 11 — From director Todd Douglas Miller (Dinosaur 13) comes a cinematic event ifty years in the making. Crafted from a newly discovered trove of 65mm footage, and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, Apollo 11 takes us straight to the heart of NASA’s most celebrated mission – the one that irst put men on the moon, and forever made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names. Immersed in the perspectives of the astronauts, the team in Mission Control, and the millions of spectators on the ground, we vividly experience those momentous days and hours in 1969 when humankind took a giant leap into the future. 2019. 1h33m. n The Image Book — Displaying an encyclopedic grasp of cinema, the legendary Jean-Luc Godard pieces together fragments from some of the greatest ilms of the past, then digitally alters, bleaches, and washes them, all in the service of relecting on what he sees in front of him and what he makes of the dissonance that surrounds him. His voice guides us through the labyrinth of his mind. In some cases, it is to relect on the metaphysical properties of the world – time and space and where meaning is found – and, more importantly, it is the image, the thing that has obsessed Godard for his entire career, that anchors this ilm. In English, French, Arabic, and Italian with subtitles. 2019. 1h24m. n Transit — As fascism spreads, German refugee Georg (Franz Rogowski) lees to Marseille and assumes the identity of the dead writer whose transit papers he is carrying. Living among refugees from around the world, Georg falls for Marie (Paula Beer), a mysterious woman searching for her husband – the man whose identity he has stolen. Adapted from Anna Segher’s 1944 novel, Transit shifts the original story to the present, blurring periods to create a timeless exploration of the plight of displaced people. In French and German with subtitles. 2018. 1h41m. n CatVideoFest 2019 — CatVideoFest is a compilation reel of the latest and best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos, and, of course, classic internet powerhouses. CatVideoFest is a joyous communal experience, only available in theaters, and raises money for cats in need through partnerships with local cat charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters to best serve cats in the area. Portion of proceeds to beneit AnimalKind in Hudson. 2019. 1h10m. n The Baker’s Wife — The warmth and wit of celebrated playwright turned auteur Marcel Pagnol (The Marseille Trilogy) shines through in this enchanting slice-of-life comedy. Returning once again to the Provençal countryside he knew intimately, Pagnol draws a vivid portrait of a closeknit village where the marital woes of a sweetly deluded baker (the inimitable Raimu, heralded by no less than Orson Welles as “the greatest actor who ever lived”) snowball into a scandal that engulfs the entire town. Marrying the director’s abiding concern for the experiences of ordinary people with an understated but superbly judged visual style, The Baker’s Wife is wonderfully droll and perceptive in its nuanced treat-ment of the complexities of human relationships. In French with English subtitles. 1938. 2h13m. n Birds of Passage — From the Oscar-nominated team behind Embrace of the Serpent comes an equally audacious saga centered on the Wayúu indigenous people during a crucial period in recent Colombian history. Torn between his desire to become a powerful man and his duty to uphold his culture’s values, Rapayet enters the drug traicking business in the 1970s and inds quick success despite his tribe’s matriarch Ursula’s disapproval. Ignoring ancient omens, Rapayet and his

family get caught up in a conlict where honor is the highest currency and debts are paid with blood. A sprawling epic about the erosion of tradition in pursuit of wealth, Birds of Passage is a visually striking exploration of loyalty, greed, and the voracious nature of change. In Spanish, Wayúu, and English with subtitles. 2018. 2h5m TIME & SPACE LIMITED 434 COLUMBIA STREET, HUDSON, NY | (518) 822-8100 | FYI@TIMEANDSPACE.ORG

Take me out to the ball game I remember writing last year about the big April Fool’s prank played on us by Mother Nature. Well, it happened again, though not so vicious. Yes, we woke up to snow again on April 1. The wind is ahowling through my windows. But, by this afternoon, the sun will come out and all will be well again. I am really looking forward to the spring flowers popping up, and am afraid they will all come up together and we will have a short, colorful showing. Only time will tell. As for now, I will be enjoying the sight of the pussy willows on the side of the road. It seems that Jim’s Great American is the place to go on Sunday mornings after church. I didn’t have much to buy (except butter), but I was kept busy talking to the many who were there. Wednesday night, March 27, Ken Hudecek celebrated his birthday at the BrandyWine. It was a big night for birthdays. Also celebrating was Bob Hermance, who was there with his wife, sister Nancy and her husband, Lou Kizyma. Ken was joined by mom Rose; Judy, John and David LoPresti, and Bill and Barbara Mead. Of course, he was serenaded by the wait staff and chef Dave McGowan, who had just celebrated his birthday on Sunday. Happy birthday to all. On April 10, the Columbia Greene Women’s “Swing Into Spring” fashion show and luncheon will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Pegasus Restaurant on Route 9W in Coxsackie. Reservations are necessary and cancellations a must. RSVP no later than April 8. Please call Ruth at 518-6347405. Cost is $12.50 inclusive. Cash only, please. On Saturday evening, went to St. Theresa’s for their first CommUnity Meal. Around 68 people showed up for a lovely buffet and fellowship. It went over so well that another is planned for April 27 from

On April 5, there will be a showing of “The Passion of the Christ” at the Lexington Methodist Church at 6:30 p.m. The annual Mother Daughter Fellowship at the Ashland Church will be held May 13. It has traditionally been a day of “bonding” between mother and daughter, and a chance to sit and have a hen party. Much better than a shower as you don’t have to bring a gift, just a covered dish. I hope you will put it on your calendar and attend. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we don’t have the chance to really sit and talk with our daughters. And remember, women, even if you don’t have a daughter, YOU are someone’s daughter and are welcome to enjoy the meal. You can tell everyone is excited about warm weather with the announcement of many chicken barbecues. On May 18, the Ashland Church will be starting off the season. On Memorial weekend, May 24, the Lexington Church will be holding theirs. Please check back for details. I have been receiving many messages from God that I should open a thrift shop for the benefit of the Ashland

Church. My most recent “push” was the acquisition of a multitude of hangers, and some brand new clothes. I was also given a Grandmother’s Clock, a kitchen hutch and a desk, along with household items. I am welcoming advice and suggestions. I feel that Ashland needs commerce, and the church NEEDS the funds. Feedback is not only welcome, but encouraged.

AS I REMEMBER IT Well, it has finally arrived! The long awaited baseball season! With the introduction of the metal bat, you no longer hear the crack of the bat, but the PING, when you hear the umpire call “Play Ball.” You can hit the ball further, but if you throw the bat, OUCH! Many play for the Senior Leagues, but they have problems of their own. First of all, what glasses do you put on to see the ball? You need distance lenses to see the pitcher, then quick switch to your readers to see where to hit the ball. Okay, you hit it, you take off running, well walking fast, and instead of sliding into base, it’s more of a crawl. Home runs? Not

likely. I would love to be on a baseball team again, but an inning would take all day to play, and I would miss my nap. All joking aside, back in the ‘30s and ‘40s each town and boarding house had their own baseball team. The men would travel from place to place and compete against one another. The women would sit in the stands and cheer on their team. Often there would be a community picnic supper before the game where all would get together and plan strategy. Little League was big in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Unfortunately, it was boys only, but every boy from 8-15 was out there playing. Families got together and cheered in the stands. It gave the girls a chance to get together after school and run and play together. Later, they ogled the boys in their baseball uniforms. Now we have girls allowed

to play, but are there enough teams for a competition? Do parents support Little League anymore? I hear and see ads for coaches, umpires and committee members. Adults, with grown children, are called upon to help the teams survive. Do you support local sports? Or do you just sit back and watch millionaires on television? Roxbury has an Old Home Day when the players go out and play wearing the original wool uniforms. Do you remember anyone playing on an old town team? Speaking of remembering, how many remember singing old songs. While sitting in the stands, someone would always start “Take me out to the ballgame.” In the mood for singing, it’s spring, so someone would start “In Your Easter Bonnet” or “Here comes Peter Cottontail.” We would

sing patriotic songs, and the old standards “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” or “She’ll be coming Round the Mountain.” Do you remember any of these songs? Do your children know the words? We have become a society of “watchers.” We spend a small fortune going to a Major League baseball game, and another fortune buying food. Just think, if you invested that in local sports, it would pay for the entire season. Just a thought. Just a side note. I write this column on Monday mornings. If you have any news to put in, please let me know by Sunday afternoon, lmgeand@yahoo.com. I send it no later than noon on Monday. Thanks — Lula

GERMANTOWN — The Germantown softball team opened the season with a loud bang on Tuesday, posting a 39-4 victory over Central Hudson Valley League rival Loudonville Christian. Two girls took the mound for Germantown. Junior Jennifer Ljutich and freshman Jordan Wyant both combined to give up 6 hits with no walks and two strikeouts. “Jenn and Jordan did a great job throwing strikes on such a cold day,” Germantown softball coach, Michael Del Pozzo said. “Our entire team hit the ball extremely well.” Germantown started out shaky in the first inning, making 3 errors and allowing four runs. The Clippers came back in the bottom of the first, scoring 14, then following up with 15 runs in the second. Ljutich went 2 for 5, which included a double and a home run, driving in six runs. Wyant had three hits, including two triples and eight RBI. Senior Liz Craig went 4 for 6 and Kierlan Denninger picked up 3 hits and 3 RBI. “It was a nice way to start off the season,” Del Pozzo said.

Hudson starter Nick Bernockie had control problems in the first inning, walking five and allowing a base hit, before being replaced by sophomore Matt Bowes. Bowes, inhis varity pitching debut, went six innings, allowing just one run and three hits with five strikeouts and one walk For TH (2-0), Devon Charron threw the first three innings, allowing no runs and two hits with one strikeout and three walks. Coach fRank Clegg pulled Charron after the third because the Titans have three consecutive games this week. Schuyler Krzeminski came in and pitched a scoreless fourth, but ran into trouble in the fifth, giving up five runs, four hits and a walk. Kolby Clegg relieved Krzeminski and threw tremendously, recording 7 of the 9 outs via strikeout and walking two without yielding a hit or run for the save.

CHATHAM — Kaleb Taylor fired a two-hitter with 12 strikeouts as Chatham edged Rensselaer, 3-1, in Tuesday’s non-league basebll game. Taylor allowed just a single to Brandon Nortrup and a solo homer to Ramell Johnson in the seventh in going the distance for the win. He walked two. Taylor helped himself with the bat, belting a triple and single. Hunter Scheriff doubled and drove in a run, Thomas Van Tassel had two singles and Garner Boshart singled. Elijah Foust (3k,2bb,1r,1h), Matt Hall (3k,1h) and Tyler Cinnamon (4k,2bb,2r,4h) all had a turn on the mound for the Rams. “Kaleb Taylor led the way today on the mound and at the

plate,” Chatham coach Scott Steltz said. “He had command of all 3 of his pitches. He gave up a leadoff hit and then didn’t allow another until the seventh inning. He supported his own cause by turning in quality at bats and moving around the bases. “On a day where we didn’t have the best approach at the plate, the team still did enough to win. Hunter had a clutch atbat late and Garner Boshart turned in a web gem in left field as well as ran the bases well. It was good to come away with a victory, and it also gave us an opportunity to learn from our mistakes. Rensselaer played a great game and is a very balanced team.

An early crush of injuries tests Yankees’ spring optimism Bob Klapisch The New York Times News Service

Miguel Andujar, the New York Yankees third baseman, listened to the gently phrased questions about his injured right shoulder and the possibility of having season-ending surgery. He acknowledged the cold truths about torn labra: They can’t heal on their own, and most players who suffer similar ruptures end up on the operating table. Yes, Andujar said, he gets that. But as he spoke before the Yankees’ 3-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, Andujar dismissed the worst-case scenario, vowing to beat the odds, avoid surgery and return to action within weeks. If he does so, it would be a rare instance of good fortune for the Yankees, who now have eight players on the 10-day injured list, including their ace (Luis Severino), their $325 million home run leader (Giancarlo Stanton), and their front-line shortstop (Didi Gregorius). Andujar joined them after a headfirst dive into third base against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. After initially feeling a “weird” sensation in his shoulder, Andujar said, he remained in the game, and he still felt strong afterward and even into Monday. But an MRI exam revealed a small labral tear, prompting the Yankees to shut Andujar down for at least two weeks. After that, he will begin a cautious program of physical therapy, which he and the team hope will preclude the need for surgery. “I’m optimistic,” Andujar said. “My shoulder is strong. There’s a still a chance I can get through this and get back on the field.” Manager Aaron Boone was just as inclined to turn his gaze away from

the possibility of an Andujar-less summer. Hard to blame him: The 24-yearold infielder finished second in the American League’s Rookie of the Year voting in 2018, leading all first-year players in hits (170) and breaking the Yankees’ record for doubles in a rookie season — previously set by Joe DiMaggio in 1936. Although inconsistent on defense — he committed 15 errors last year — Andujar’s performance partly explained the Yankees’ decision to pass on pursuing Manny Machado in free agency this winter. After losing to the Boston Red Sox in a division series, the Yankees were decidedly upbeat about Andujar and their roster in general entering 2019. That optimism was based on three factors: that Aaron Judge, who missed seven weeks with a broken wrist last summer, would be healthy in 2019; that Stanton would be better acclimated to playing in the high-pressure New York market in his second year; and that catcher Gary Sanchez had nowhere to go but up after batting a disastrous .186 last season. Bundled with the continued maturation of Andujar and his fellow rookie Gleyber Torres, the Yankees felt they could close the gap on Boston without spending much on new additions. Judge spoke for his teammates recently when he said, “From the first day in camp, I felt this was going to be a better team than last year.” But five games in, it has been a harsh reality for the Yankees, who have yet to gain traction on the season despite starting off against two lightly regarded opponents, the Orioles and Tigers. An unusually severe run of injuries has only compounded their frustration.

Severino, who was diagnosed with shoulder inflammation last month, still has not thrown off a mound, and he is not likely to return until May at the earliest. Center fielder Aaron Hicks is battling a stubborn lower back problem; he has already received two cortisone shots. Dellin Betances, the flame-throwing reliever, is sidelined with a shoulder impingement, although he threw a bullpen session Tuesday and could be back in a week. Stanton’s injury was the most mysterious: a grade-1 strain of his left biceps he suffered with what Boone called a “funky” swing on Sunday. Like Andujar, Stanton will be out of the lineup for at least 10 days, although his injury is less serious. Nevertheless, the Yankees have been forced to depend on reinforcements earlier than expected, putting their depth — and emotional resilience — to the test. The always-upbeat Boone said he felt the Yankees would emerge as a better team after April’s challenges. “One of the strengths of our organization is the depth,” he said, adding that each of the Yankees’ replacements were “capable of producing at the big league level.” Boone’s rallying cry might have resonated a bit more had the Yankees not lost their opening series to the lowly Orioles. Most damning was their situational hitting: The Yankees went 10 for 56 with runners on base in the three-game series, including 6 for 29 (.207) with men in scoring position, including eight strikeouts. There wasn’t much improvement Tuesday, when the Yankees managed just six hits against the Tigers and didn’t have a runner in scoring position over the final four innings.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Another football league on the edge of folding Kevin Draper The New York Times News Service

The Alliance of American Football is planning to suspend operations and will not play games this weekend, according to three people familiar with the decision who were not authorized to speak publicly. The league is not officially folding, the people said Tuesday, at least not yet. An official announcement about its status was expected soon. In a statement, Bill Polian, one of the league’s founders, confirmed the decision and expressed disappointment. The Alliance is the latest in a long line of upstart professional football leagues that tried and failed to capitalize on the seemingly insatiable appetite for the sport in America. Because the NFL draws an average of about 15 million viewers for each game over its five-month season, the startup owners tend to assume that a new league with just a fraction of that audience will succeed. It has not turned out that way. Since the American Football League merged with the NFL in 1970, there

has been the World Football League, the United States Football League, the once and future XFL, the United Football League and others. While they have had varying business models, franchise locations and opinions on the best calendar for football, none of the leagues has yet found the right formula for sustained success. Now it seems the Alliance for American Football will soon follow them to the grave. The league’s chief executive and co-founder, Charlie Ebersol, probably should have known better. He the son of Dick Ebersol, the longtime NBC Sports chairman who started the first iteration of the XFL nearly 20 years ago, alongside professional wrestling impresario Vince McMahon. That league folded after a single season. With the help of Polian, the former general manager of the Indianapolis Colts, Ebersol secured distribution deals for some of the league’s games on CBS, TNT and the NFL Network, a strong sign for a new league. The deals included little cash, however, according to two of the people.

“I think there is a blind spot for most people that want to start professional sports leagues,” said Michael Huyghue, who was the commissioner of the United Football League. “The biggest issue is: What is the revenue stream? What is the revenue model?” The UFL began play in 2009 and ceased operations in 2012. Most leagues require substantial television rights payments to survive, as well as a critical mass of ticket sales. Both are difficult to obtain for an unproven league. Knowing how substantial the startup costs would be, the Alliance tried to justify its operations by comparing itself to a Silicon Valley tech company that expects to lose money for years while creating value. Ebersol believed the league’s technology and readiness for legalized gambling would make it a success. From the beginning, Ebersol had modest expectations for the first year. “There are going to be empty seats for quite some time, but we are committed to long-term investment around the idea,” he said in February, shortly before the season began.

He estimated the Alliance would require $500 million to $750 million during the first five years. “You have to justify that expense, because either you are an eccentric billionaire creating a football league, or raising really smart money that is patient,” Ebersol said. The Alliance’s eight teams, clustered in the Southeast and Southwest, began play after the Super Bowl. They have each played eight regular-season games, with the championship game scheduled for April 27 in Frisco, Texas. But almost from the beginning, there were signs that things were not going well, including reports that the league had almost missed payroll. Last week the league’s controlling owner, Tom Dundon, told USA Today that the league was in danger of folding because it had not secured an agreement with the NFL and the NFL Players Association to allow young players from NFL rosters to work in the Alliance. “If the players union is not going to give us young players, we can’t be a development league,” said Dundon, who

is also the owner of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes. Just two weeks into the Alliance’s game schedule, he committed up to $250 million and became the controlling owner. But to Huyghue, whose United Football League lasted almost four seasons, that was the wrong focus. “Everyone keeps thinking players, players, players,” he said. “That doesn’t solve your revenue problem.” Polian’s statement blamed Dundon for the decision to suspend the league. “When Mr. Dundon took over, it was the belief of my co-founder, Charlie Ebersol, and myself that we would finish the season, pay our creditors, and make the necessary adjustments to move forward in a manner that made economic sense for all,” Polian said. Despite the poor track record, the Alliance surely won’t be the last attempt to start a new professional football league. McMahon is reviving the XFL, which is to begin play next year, and last week he sold almost $272 million in World Wrestling Entertainment stock to support the venture, according to a company filing.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Latest disagreement may end five-year relationship My boyfriend of nearly five years and I have been at odds during most of our relationship. We have had religious-based disagreements, arguments over my not giving him enough affection, his not providing financially, possible cheating on his part, and his wanting DEAR ABBY me to have a better relationship with his mother. For about a year he has been pressuring me to stop taking birth control pills. I was always adamant about taking them because I do not want to be pregnant before marriage. He claims I am “playing God,” and “I don’t know the potential harm the pills cause.” I don’t think the pills are harming me, and I feel I can do with my body what I please. When he told me to stop taking birth control, I asked, “When are you going to propose?” He says he’ll marry me once I trust him enough to stop taking the pills and believe he’ll step up to the plate. I trust that he wants to be with me, but I can’t help but feel he wants me to go against my morals and values and get pregnant before marriage. I see a life for myself, and he doesn’t seem to fit in my vision. I know no one is perfect, but I can’t help but feel we clash on too many issues. Should I be more positive and look at the good things in our relationship and try to ignore the negative? Young Pennsylvania Woman

JEANNE PHILLIPS

If you see a life for yourself beyond this relationship, make up your mind to start living it NOW. Your boyfriend wants you to stop taking birth control pills because once you’re pregnant (oops!) you will be tied to him for life, like it or not. Step back. View this for a moment from my perspective: Here is someone with whom you have religious-based disagreements, who doesn’t pull his weight financially, whom you can’t trust not to cheat, and who will bring with him a guaranteed mother-in-law problem. It’s

Family Circus

time to do what you should have done years ago. Recognize that you can do much better than this and GET OUT OF THERE. My husband and I live in Washington state. My son and his family live in South Carolina. I have decided I want to move close to my son and grandchildren. My husband doesn’t want to move there. He has never been to South Carolina, but he has preconceived notions about what the people are like and has decided he wants to stay on the West Coast. I know what would make me happier, but I’d feel guilty about leaving my husband. We have been married 27 years. (He is my second husband; my first died when we were 36.) My son is from my first marriage. I need some objective advice. Am I being selfish? Is it wrong for me to want to move to be with my family? Guilty On The West Coast You ARE with your family — your husband. Have you explored how your son and his wife would feel about you pulling up stakes and moving there alone? If you haven’t, you should, because they may not be comfortable feeling responsible for you and being your only social outlet. Since you asked, I think it would be foolish to sacrifice a marriage (I assume a happy one) that has lasted more than a quarter of a century. It’s possible that you could visit your son and grandchildren several times a year without jettisoning your spouse, and because planes fly both ways, they could visit the two of you as well.

Showering with Eustachian tube dysfunction is not a problem Does a person with Eustachian tube dysfunction have to be careful when washing her or his hair? I am concerned that the water that gets into the ear can be felt going down the throat. Or is that another problem? The ear has three compartTO YOUR ments: external, middle and GOOD HEALTH inner. The external ear is all of the part you can touch, all the way to the tympanic membrane (eardrum). It is watertight (unless there is a perforation or a doctor has placed a tube in the eardrum). The middle ear is the location of three bones that connect the eardrum to the cochlea, the organ of hearing. The cochlea and the organ of Corti, from which you derive your sense of balance, comprise the inner ear. The Eustachian tube runs from the middle of the ear into the back of the throat, and it

DR. KEITH ROACH

allows the pressure in the ear to equalize with the pressure in the atmosphere. Eustachian tube dysfunction is when the tube fails to open, causing pressure changes in the ear. This often comes with reduced hearing and a sensation of ear pressure, and sometimes with ear pain, itching or tinnitus, the sensation of ringing in the ears or other noise. Eustachian tube dysfunction is a complicated issue I can’t explain fully here. However, showering with Eustachian tube dysfunction is not a problem. A sensation of water going down the throat during showering could possibly be from a wide-open hole in the eardrum, but it is more likely a referred sensation, meaning the body is misinterpreting the data from its own nerves.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are always on the lookout for something more to do, and when you spot it, you will jump at it with all cylinders clicking away. Never one to waste a chance at doing something others have not done — or cannot do — you will even endanger yourself to try something to which you are simply unsuited. You don’t know when to quit, usually, and you have been known to work yourself to the point of exhaustion. You can be, at times, a little too self-involved. You can benefit from helping those around you. You are certainly charismatic, and you’re sure to attract a great deal of attention, but sometimes you will find yourself in the spotlight when you are, in fact, doing something that would be better ignored or overlooked. Like anyone else, you do not always do the right thing, but when that happens to you, it’s more likely to be noticed. Also born on this date are: Robert Downey Jr., actor; Heath Ledger, actor; Maya Angelou, poet; Anthony Perkins, actor; Muddy Waters, musician; Craig T. Nelson, actor; Nancy McKeon, actor; Christine Lahti, actress; Barry Pepper, actor. To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. FRIDAY, APRIL 5 ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You can combine hard work and good fun today in a way that attracts others into your orbit. Don’t stop now — things are clicking! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may choose to lie low for a while today, but know that you run the risk of missing something rather important. Try

to stay alert. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You may require a little break in the action today, even as you find yourself coming down to the wire. You know what you can afford. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It’s time to put a perceived offense behind you. A friend or loved one cannot help you if you’re unwilling to help yourself in this way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — It may be time to move on to something else, even though the work you’re doing right now hasn’t yet paid off. Other essentials are calling to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — A key issue proves a sticking point today as you try to negotiate with someone who sees things very differently. Listen to reason! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Certainty may elude you today, but you can get very far on a hunch. Someone you know well makes a mistake you can correct in no time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — A new opportunity arises today, and you’re in the right position to make the most out of it — though hard work will soon be required. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You can put on a demonstration that is not only widely appreciated and enjoyed, but that also teaches many an important lesson. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You may discover that not everyone is willing to support you in your efforts. The question is, must you change, or must they? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You know what you’re looking for, but you’re not looking in the right places. The search should come to an end today or tomorrow. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You mustn’t squander a second chance today. Take it seriously, and don’t focus too much on what is expected. Do what you must.
