The state has filed a lawsuit against the EPA over dredging of the Hudson River by General Electric, claiming the job is unfinished.
New York state has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, charging a “certificate of completion” was prematurely awarded to General Electric for removal of contaminants from the Hudson River. The lawsuit was announced
jointly by state Attorney General Letitia James and Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday. On April 11, U.S. EPA Region 2 Administrator Peter Lopez issued a five-year report on the dredging project GE conducted to clean up PCBs, or polychlorinated See STATE A8

A slope failure on County Route 2 will be evaluated by engineers.
PRATTSVILLE — An engineering firm will evaluate a slope failure on County Route 2 in the coming weeks, a study that will determine the future of the road. Greene County lawmakers approved a resolution Monday authorizing Dente Group, of Watervliet, to be paid up to $30,995 to evaluate the site. “The slope failure is quite large,” Greene County
Highway Superintendent Robert Van Valkenburg said. “It starts in the middle of one lane, goes to the outside of the lane, where the road has started to drop away.” About 250 feet of the road is affected and drivers must use an alternating traffic pattern through this section, Van Valkenburg said. “We took the precaution because we don’t know how fast it is moving,” he said. “Plus, the more traffic, means more
damage.” The failure has been progressing since 2010 when it was last evaluated, Van Valkenburg said. The county had planned on doing a group of projects, including County Route 2, when a major slide on County Route 6 in Spruceton occurred, taking priority. The engineers will take boring samples to determine the

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is moving to end a court settlement that limits its ability to hold migrants who cross the border into the United States, the Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday, potentially allowing for indefinite detention of children with their parents. President Donald Trump and his administration for years have chafed at the limitations resulting from the settlement, known as the Flores agreement. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said Wednesday the Carol Guzy/zReportage.com/Zuma Press/TNS new policy would get rid of an Recent immigrants and their children are dropped off at the bus interpretation of Flores that station from detention in McAllen, Texas, on June 27, 2019. has “substantially caused and continued to fuel” a migrant Trump said in a statement 1997 court decree that sets crisis at the southern border. the changes would reduce standards for how migrant Under the Flores settle- the incentive to smuggle chil- children in U.S. custody are ment, minors can only be held dren and close what he called treated. in non-secure, licensed shel- loopholes for people who do The Trump administration ters and must be discharged so in order to be released into and GOP critics view Flores as from government custody “ex- the country. “To protect these a “loophole” that fuels illegal peditiously.” A judge recently children from abuse, and stop border crossings. interpreted that time limit to this illegal flow, we must close The 1997 decree has created generally mean 20 days. these loopholes.

together with their parents or legal guardians.” Trump has made fighting the 1997 settlement a priority and blamed it for the “catch and release” policy for migrants on the southern border, which allows undocumented immigrants to go free as they await immigration proceedings. On Wednesday, Trump tweeted the following comment by Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council: “This will effectively end Catch and Release and curb illegal entries.” McAleenan said the administration anticipates a “dialogue” in court but will try to implement the regulations as soon as possible. The administration acknowledged that detention will have “negative impacts” on children but argues that it needs to modify the terms of the settlement in order not to separate families. Dismantling the protections enshrined in the Flores agreement has long been on the Trump administration’s to-do list. The Justice Department has previously filed a motion in court to modify Flores in the past, but did not succeed. Recently plaintiffs in the Flores case won a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit that its conditions include requirements to provide items like toothbrushes and clean living spaces as well as adequate sleep.

Parkland survivors propose ambitious gun control measures. what is in their plan? Adeel Hassan The New York Times News Service
March for Our Lives, a group led by student survivors of the shooting massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, unveiled an ambitious gun-control program on Wednesday that would ban assault-style weapons, raise the minimum age for buying firearms, create a national gun registry and require gun owners to pay for new licenses each year. The plan would go well beyond gun-control measures like “red flag” laws and expanded background checks, which have been discussed in response to recent mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, that killed a total of 31 people. Most, if not all, of the proposals in the Parkland group’s “Peace Plan for a Safer America” would face opposition from the gun lobby and its supporters in the federal government, who would be likely to argue that the measures would impinge on Second Amendment rights. “We know this seems ambitious, given Washington’s apathy to decades of bloodshed in our schools, neighborhoods, and even our houses of worship,” David Hogg, 19, a Parkland survivor and a founder of March for Our Lives, wrote on Twitter on Wednesday
morning. “It’s okay to disagree with us — but we know video games aren’t to blame.” The plan’s major proposals include: — A national licensing and gun registry. — A ban on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. — A mandatory gun buyback program for assault-style weapons, and a voluntary buyback for other firearms. — A limit of one firearm purchase a month per person. — The establishment of a “national director of gun violence prevention” to report directly to the White House. — Raising the minimum age to buy guns to 21, from 18. — A new multiple-step gun licensing system, overseen by Washington, that would include in-person interviews and a 10-day wait before gun purchases are approved. Licenses would need to be renewed annually. — A Peace Corps-style program that would pay for young people to work on gun violence prevention for a year in communities and nonprofit groups around the country. After the shootings earlier this month in El Paso and Dayton, President Donald Trump vowed to pursue “background checks like we’ve never had before.” But on Sunday, after discussions in Bedminster, New
Jersey, with gun rights advocates — including Wayne LaPierre, chief executive of the National Rifle Association — Trump appeared to walk that promise back, saying that “people don’t realize we have very strong background checks right now” and that this is “a very, very big mental health problem.” Trump spoke again with LaPierre on Tuesday, and the president echoed the gun rights group’s talking points from the Oval Office, saying that Democrats wanted to take radical steps in violation of the Second Amendment. Despite political opposition, surveys show that Americans are coalescing in their support for some type of legislative action. Though the vast majority of voters support universal background checks, NRA officials say they would be as a first step toward large-scale gun licensing that would warp the Second Amendment into “a European-style privilege reserved for wealthy elite who can afford to comply with

burdensome, bureaucratic procedures to acquire a firearm.” And though polls find that a majority of Americans support a new ban on assault-style weapons, Trump, speaking in Dayton two weeks ago, said that “there is no political appetite” for such a ban. The activists behind the Parkland group’s plan are aiming to influence the political debate around the 2020 presidential election, and are asking each candidate to endorse their platform.

The night ends with the annual ice cream social and raffle. “Our goal is to create a relaxed opportunity to discuss ways to work together,” according to a statement from the county Health Department. The weather is predicted to be partly cloudy Thursday with temperatures hovering above 80, according to the National Weather Service. The event dovetails with National Night Out, which is typically held in July, and promotes police-community
partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie. The Mental Health Association of Columbia-Greene Counties, which is one of the hosts of the event, operates 34 different programs in both counties. This event is held in concert with the Columbia County Child Fatality Review Team, which is made up of officials throughout the county who work together to reduce pediatric fatality rates through education and prevention. Its members include law enforcement, representatives from the county Department of Social
Services, health department officials, medical professionals, emergency medical services and others. The program, which is funded through the state Office of Children and Family Services, has been in existence in the county for the past decade and recently began partnering with Rensselaer County. The team will be on hand offering information at the event Thursday. “We provide education to schools, day care centers and families the community and meet four times a year as a team,” said Kristy Frederick, an educator with the team.

and Catskill Mountains of New York. His books include Mysteries of the Ancient Past, Lost Knowledge of the Ancients, and Spirits in Stone. He served two terms as vice president of the New England Antiquities Research Association (NEARA) and studied archaeoastronomy at SUNY and
archaeoacoustics in Malta. He is co-founder of the nonprofit Overlook Mountain Center in Woodstock, where he lives with his wife and two teenage children. Zadock Pratt Museum is located in the 19th century Greek Revival home of Congressman, banker, soldier,
and tannery owner Zadock Pratt. The house was built in 1828 and re-designed in 1856. Since 1986 it’s been on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum, which opened to the public in 1959, celebrates its 60th anniversary this summer. Learn more at zadockprattmuseum.org.

“What we educate them on is safe sleep, car seats drowning, motor vehicle accidents and suicide prevention — anything that is a cause of pediatric fatality.” Frederick said one of the biggest issues facing families, not only in Columbia County, but the rest of the country, is unsafe sleep for infants. Unsafe sleep typically occurs when a baby is sleeping with a blanket or toys or next to an adult. “For safe sleep, we always advise that the baby sleep on a flat firm surface with nothing in the crib or bassinette except the baby,” Frederick said. “No blankets or toys and they should always lie on their back.”
ALBANY — New York State Office of General Services (OGS) Commissioner RoAnn Destito announced special tours of the Capitol will be offered in conjunction with the ongoing exhibition The People of New York. The free, 45-minute tours will focus on diversity and cultural pluralism in the history of New York and the Capitol and will be offered at 1 p.m. on Aug. 29, Sept. 12 and Nov. 7. Preregistration at empirestateplaza.ny.gov is required. “Governor Cuomo often reminds us that here in New York our differences and diversity in backgrounds are also our greatest strengths,” Commissioner Destito said. “I encourage everyone to take this special tour of the Capitol, which will include a visit to an exhibition, The People of New York, that celebrates our state’s rich and diverse history.” The New York State Capitol has served as the seat of government for New York since the 1880s. The building is a marvel of late 19th century architectural grandeur, built by hand of solid masonry over a period of 32 years. Through

OUR VIEW
A game-rigging scheme It is encouraging that state Attorney General Letitia James on Tuesday announced New York is joining three other states in a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a new, stricter interpretation of the “public charge rule,” which could deny green cards to legal immigrants who need certain forms of public assistance. Under the administration’s policy change, announced earlier this month, legal immigrants who use or require public benefits such as Medicaid, food stamps or housing assistance could have a more difficult time obtaining a green card. This is an unfair and deficient regulation.
The new criteria for “Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds,” in the words of the administration, will set new standards for applicants seeking legal permanent residency in the United States, criteria that will skew the process in favor of highly skilled, highincome immigrants. In short, it is another Trump program that favors the wealthy over the truly needy. Under the new interpretation, wealth, education, age and English-language skills will assume greater significance in the green card review process. U.S. immigration law has long-standing provisions to screen out foreigners who might be a burden on society, but the rule
change amounts to an expansion of the government’s definition of “public charge” — and who is deemed likely to become one. It amounts to a pre-emptive strike against immigrants seeking better lives in America. As presented by the Trump administration, the public charge rule is a gamerigging scheme to punish immigrants who, like generations of immigrant families before them, seek support to lift their children out of poverty. This means access to doctors, healthy food and safe housing. Food, medical care and shelter are basic needs for modern life, and they should not be subject to governmental manipulation.
ANOTHER VIEW
Of course Trump backtracks on gun reform; he lacks the courage (c) 2019, The Washington Post
For a moment, it seemed as though what was usually assumed in Washington could no longer be taken for granted. President Donald Trump was promising “very meaningful background checks” in the wake of two gruesome mass shootings. He insisted that congressional Republicans would “lead the charge” for new gun legislation, which would have been a tectonic shift in the politics of guns that only sustained pressure from a figure such as Trump could possibly have produced. Then the hope faded. Speaking to reporters on Sunday, the president cooled on background checks, insisted that he is “very concerned with the Second Amendment” and repeated shopworn Republican talking points. “It’s the people that pull the trigger. It’s not the gun that pulls the trigger,” he said. “They have bipartisan committees working on background checks and various other things. And we’ll see. I don’t want people to forget that this is a mentalhealth problem. I don’t want them to forget that because it is. It’s a mental-health problem.” Reporters asked him to clarify his stance on support for universal background checks. “I’m not saying anything,” he said. “I’m saying Congress is going to be reporting back to me with ideas. And they’ll come in from Democrats and Republicans. And I’ll look at it very strongly. But just remember, we already have a lot of background checks, OK?” If the president is expecting a Republican Senate to send him a gun-control bill without his strong, public backing, The Daily Mail welcomes letters to the editor. All letters must contain a full name, full address and a daytime telephone number. Names will be published, but phone numbers will not be divulged.

he will be waiting a long time. This is the same party that blocked minimal gunsafety reforms after a shooter murdered 26 children and staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School - and after every other gun-related atrocity since. Other nations have mental-health problems, evil people intent on inflicting harm and violent video games. What distinguishes the United States is that American society is saturated with a wide variety of easily accessible guns - and the result is that mass shootings have become almost routine. The country has background checks, but they don’t apply to many firearms sales and transfers at gun shows and other places. As for the background checks that are conducted, federal authorities only have so much time to complete them before gun sales go through, meaning that dangerous people get weapons merely because the clock runs out. Practically no one thinks this situation is reasonable. Some 90% of Americans favor universal background checks. Strong majorities, including among those key to GOP victory, favor other gun reforms, too. A package of essential policy changes would include a “red flag” law that allows judges to confiscate weapons from those at risk of committing imminent harm, an extension of the time federal authorities have to conduct background checks, and a ban on assault weapons and highcapacity magazines. Yet even these bare-minimum reforms seem, once again, out of reach - thanks in part to a president who apparently lacks the courage to champion measures he recognizes as necessary.
‘The Nickel Boys’: A searing reminder of what’s not unthinkable WASHINGTON — Because of the investigation led by three University of South Florida researchers, and because of exemplary journalism by the Tampa Bay Times, we now have an intensely discomforting but welcome enrichment of American literature. It requires artistry to write beautifully about children suffering at the hands of evil men, and from the riveting first sentence of his slender new novel “The Nickel Boys” — “Even in death the boys were trouble” — Colson Whitehead’s prose unfurls with controlled fury as he reimagines life at what was the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, Florida. The fact that Whitehead never raises his authorial voice enhances its wallop. The boys were trouble even as corpses because, in Whitehead’s reimagining, the Nickel School had been closed after many decades and developers had plans for an office park on part of the land. The plans were, however, impeded by the discovery of “bones and belt buckles,” all those “fractures and cratered skulls, the rib cages riddled with buckshot” and other residue of boys who died at the hands of sadists, sexual predators and others who ran the school for their private fun and profit. Fifty-one bodies had been unearthed by the time Whitehead’s novel was published, more are probably yet to be found, and the final count will not provide finality about how many were tied up in potato sacks and dumped in what the boys called Boot Hill. In Whitehead’s novel, Elwood, an African American boy abandoned in Tallahassee by his mother, is being raised by his grandmother, whose father died in jail, sentenced for “bumptious contact” after a white woman accused him of not getting out of her way on a downtown
WASHINGTON POST
GEORGE F.
WILL sidewalk. Elwood is bound for college until he is falsely accused of stealing a car and is consigned to Nickel, leaving behind his treasured possession, a record of “Martin Luther King at Zion Hill.” He is driven to the “reform” school by “a good old boy with a meaty backwoods beard and a hungover wobble to his step. He’d outgrown his shirt and the pressure against the buttons made him look upholstered.” When the Dozier school opened in 1900, it took children as young as 5. On most nights at the Nickel school, “the only sounds were tears and insects,” but on other nights an industrial fan was turned on to muffle the boys’ screams when they were beaten by Black Beauty, a three-foot leather strap with embedded sheet metal that “slapped across the ceiling before it came down on your legs.” There was “splatter on the walls where the fan had whipped up blood in its gusting.” “The white boys bruised differently than the black boys and called it the Ice Cream Factory because you came out with bruises of every color.” Whitehead, a Pulitzer Prize-winner for his 2016 novel “The Underground Railroad,” jumps ahead to life after a Nickel boy leaves at age 18. And in his novel’s prologue, he writes of Nickel boys’ reunions featuring “shared darkness.” America, however imperfect — Americans do not want to know what
goes on in their prisons, where a not-insignificant portion of the nation’s rapes happen — is much better now. More people — public interest lawyers, journalists — are alert and watching. And perhaps more will be because of Whitehead’s searing reminder that what happened not long ago, and here, was not unthinkable. Nothing — no cruelty — is. Yet still we need reminding. When Primo Levi arrived in Auschwitz parched after a brutal train journey, he reached for an icicle to slake his thirst. When a guard yanked it away from him, Levi asked “Why?” The guard replied, “Hier ist kein warum ” (Here there is no why). The death camps were an extreme form of — perhaps the logical culmination of — what Whitehead calls a “culture of impunity.” When some people have unrestricted and unreviewable power over others — when no one can be compelled to answer for his actions when asked: “Why?” — some of those with power will behave like beasts simply because they can. And because absolute power corrupts absolutely. This melancholy fact about the human species was underscored last year in a nonfiction book about a lawless sheriff who bestrode Florida’s Lake County in the 1950s (“Beneath a Ruthless Sun: A True Story of Violence, Race, and Justice Lost and Found” by Gilbert King). Do you wonder how the Nazis managed to find people willing to work as concentration camp personnel? It was not that difficult. George Will’s email address is georgewill@washpost.com.

2 Prominent academics to cut ties to MIT Media Lab over Epstein link Tiffany Hsu and Marc Tracy The New York Times News Service
Two educators affiliated with the MIT Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said they would end their relationships with the research institute over its ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier who was facing federal sex-trafficking charges when he killed himself this month. The planned departures of the educators, associate professor Ethan Zuckerman and visiting scholar J. Nathan Matias, follow an apology last week by Joichi Ito, the Media Lab’s director, for letting Epstein donate to the lab through foundations he controlled and to invest in outside funds of Ito’s that support startups. Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on Aug. 10 after hanging himself. He had long faced accusations that he sexually abused girls. He pleaded guilty in 2008 in Florida to state charges of solicitation of prostitution from a minor, several years before he and Ito met. In a deposition unsealed this month, a woman testified that, as a teenager, she was told to have sex with Marvin Minsky, a pioneer in artificial intelligence,
on Epstein’s island in the Virgin Islands. Minsky, who died in 2016 at 88, was a founder of the Media Lab. Zuckerman wrote in a post on Medium on Tuesday that he planned to sever his ties to the Media Lab. He is the director of the MIT Center for Civic Media, a collaboration between the Media Lab and the university’s comparative media studies program. In a separate Medium post Wednesday, Matias said he, too, would be splitting with the lab after the academic year. In his role as a visiting scholar over the past two years, Matias worked on a project that involved research on protecting women and other vulnerable people from online abuse and harassment, he wrote. “I cannot with integrity do that from a place with the kind of relationship that the Media Lab has had with Epstein,” he wrote. A 2005 doctoral dissertation by an MIT graduate student in computer science thanked Epstein as one of many “sponsors” of the Media Lab “for supporting our work.” In 2015, MIT denied Epstein’s claim that he had helped fund a media lab project, Reuters reported at the time.
U.S. Sanctions Chinese Nationals Over Fentanyl Trafficking Alan Rappeport The New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Congressional Budget Office has upped its estimate of current and future deficits largely as a result of the two-year budget deal enacted last month, which the agency projects will add $1.7 trillion in red ink over 10 years. That forecast assumes that the increased spending in fiscal 2020 and 2021 thanks to the higher caps will continue throughout the decadelong budget window, growing with inflation. At the same time, changes to the economic forecast and a reduction in estimated interest rates will partly offset the spending increases, the agency said in its latest budget and economic outlook. The deficit is now projected at $960 billion in fiscal 2019, up $63 billion from the $896 billion the CBO estimated in May. Over the fiscal 2020-29 period, the cumulative deficit is projected to be $12.2 trillion, or $809 billion larger than in the previous estimate. Growth forecasts for most of the decade are basically unchanged from prior projections. Real gross domestic product would see a boost in the next two years from the spending deal, though weighed down somewhat by tariff increases implemented by the Trump administration. Real GDP growth is expected to be 2.3% this year, measured from the fourth quarter over the same period in 2018, or down from 2.5% last year. During Trump’s reelection campaign in 2020, the CBO sees growth trending down to 2.1%, a far cry from the 3%

the administration has said its policies will produce. A recession doesn’t appear imminent in the new forecast, though that isn’t unusual for the CBO. And next year’s growth estimate is 0.4 percentage points higher than it was in January. Interest rates are once again a major driver of reduced spending, with debt service costs over a decade estimated at $1.4 trillion lower than in the previous forecast, despite the added debt from the new spending deal. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note is now expected to yield 2.3% this year and 2.2% next year, down sharply from January’s forecast of 3.4% and 3.6%, respectively. In addition to the budget
deal, the CBO said, supplemental appropriations for disaster relief and border security will increase the deficit. The CBO estimated that the supplemental appropriations will add $255 billion to the deficit over the 202029 period. That is based on the agency’s assumption that the additional funding will grow with inflation. Under the new projections, the deficit would top $1 trillion in fiscal 2020, two years earlier than previously projected. The fiscal 2020 deficit, at $1.008 trillion, would be $116 billion higher than earlier projected. The fiscal 2021 deficit is estimated at $1.034 trillion, or $72 billion higher than previously projected. The last time deficits topped $1 trillion was fiscal
New Jersey felon had gun cache, grenade launcher and Nazi materials, police say Alex Horton The Washington Post
Joseph Rubino was hauling guns through northwestern New Jersey when his white Chevy van left the road and slammed into a tree. His passenger was seriously injured and airlifted to a hospital after the July 24 crash. But what Rubino, a felon, had as cargo piqued the interest of state police: a small trove of firearms, court records show. That find led to a search of his residence, and an even bigger cache, including a grenade launcher, more than a dozen other firearms, “numerous silencers,” an armored vest, drugs - and a box stuffed with neo-Nazi and white supremacist propaganda, the U.S. attorney’s office in New Jersey said Tuesday. Rubino, 57, was charged with possession of firearms by a felon, possession with intent to distribute meth and possession of firearms while drug trafficking, the office said. A conviction of the latter charge alone is punishable by life in prison.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Wednesday imposed sanctions on three Chinese nationals accused of trafficking synthetic opioids, stepping up efforts to curb the flow of fentanyl from China into the United States. The move comes just weeks after President Donald Trump accused China of not doing enough to stop the drug from entering the United States — one of several factors he cited as a reason for escalating his trade war with Beijing. The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, is sanctioning Fujing Zheng and the Zheng Drug Trafficking Organization along with Guanghua Zheng and Qinsheng Pharmaceutical Co., which support the organization’s activities. It also identified Xiaobing Yan as a “significant foreign narcotics trafficker.” The sanctions come as relations between the United States and China have soured in recent months
amid a breakdown in trade negotiations and an escalation of tariffs. The two countries have also been at odds over Trump’s plans to ship a fleet of American-made F-16 fighter jets to Taiwan and China’s continuing purchases of Iranian oil in violation of a U.S. ban. The flow of fentanyl from China has been particularly frustrating for Trump, however, because he has said that President Xi Jinping made a personal commitment to curtail the supply of the powerful opioid that has led to thousands of overdose deaths in the United States. In April, China announced that it would ban all variants of fentanyl. However, it did not ban all precursor chemicals that are used to make it, leaving open the ability for traffickers to ship those components to other countries where the drug can be produced. Trump said earlier this month that he believed Xi broke his promise. They remain at large, however, and China has not taken action against them.

It is not clear whether Rubino has an attorney. The find comes amid an apparently growing white New Jersey supremaState Police Joseph Rubino cist threat that some former officials say is outpacing the FBI’s efforts to combat it. Authorities believe white supremacist ideology fueled the El Paso, Texas, attack this month, in which a gunman killed 22 people. Rubino’s passenger, Kenneth Coe, was arrested in May after he was carrying firearms and a substance police suspected was crystal meth during a traffic stop, local media reported. New Jersey State Police did not respond to a request for comment about his status. Rubino’s felony record stems from a 1999 conviction for writing bad checks. He was sentenced to probation, the New Jersey Herald reported.
Rubino’s suspected cache included a grenade launcher, designed to attach to the underside of a rifle and modeled after the military’s M203 launcher; it is used commonly for signal flares but must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a destructive device if used to fire ammunition. Police also found two shotguns that had sawed-off barrels, which gives the shotgun pellets more speed and wider distribution when fired, making blasts more deadly at a closer range. Rubino also hadneo-Nazi and racist paraphernalia, authorities said, including shirts and bumper stickers with the “SS bolts” denoting the Schutzstaffel - the notorious Nazi paramilitary group. The symbol is “sometimes used by outlaw motorcycle gang members,” court documents said. A racist manual purporting to offer instructions on how to own black slaves also was found, court documents show.

Marianne and Johannes Krauss have spent a number of weekends at various venues for their favorite sport — road racing. Johannes is an official Steward and Marianne plays the role of second in command. They always take in points of interest, either scenic or historic, on their journeys. They entertained daughter Stephanie and grandsons Ray
and Hayden for a few days, making a visit to Mine Kill to do some swimming. They also hosted a dinner for friends Lorraine and Deiter and Bob and Ginny. Marianne sure knows how to bring all the tasty dishes to the table. The weather played nice on the day of the dinner, even though there was a downpour, the setting sun scene was awesome. The American Legion Virgil E. Deyo Post 1327 will have its annual tag day on Aug. 31. Please support them in their quest to support their fellow veterans as well as their sponsorship of educational and charitable programs. Don Speenburgh was the go-between for donated candy for the veterans at the Stratton VAMC, given to Ken Smith and then to Don, who then delivered to the Gurleys. It was then given to the veterans on the 9th floor on Thursday. They will be treated to the candies as their caregivers deem wise. Thank you to all you veterans who made this treat available to your brethren. They do so appreciate it. Don also plays the doting grandfather to grandsons Kyle and Derrick. Wherever they have to go, CROP, swim lessons, special activities, etc., Don is the chauffeur. With all his smiles relating his trips, Don relishes the time spent with and for his grandsons.

By Lula Anderson For Columbia-Greene Media
Last week I had nothing scheduled, so I decided to do things that I wanted to do. On Monday, Jackie K. invited me to take a fast trip down to the Jersey shore, as she had a personal errand to run. We left at 6 a.m. and came back at 6 p.m. I was so exhausted; poor Jackie drove — imagine how she felt! Tuesday was paper day, then I had to run to Prattsville to pick up my car. Wednesday, I went to the Columbia-Greene Women’s luncheon at Pegasus; Thursday, Kippy invited me to Rivers Casino, but it was a losing day, so we left early, but I did go to Jewett to eat supper with Rosie and family. Being gone all day, I was afraid to check my messages, and for good reason. Neil lost his keys, Ron wanted me to look at some stuff he had from cleaning his parents’ house, and someone has a storage unit to empty. More work to look forward to. Friday was hair day, pick up a new lock for my son, get farmer’s market coupons from nutrition center, clean some houses, check out furniture, finally, go to Jewett for the show. I’m so glad I had nothing planned for the week. I need a rest from my “restful” week. This Monday, Val Chereck, vice president of WAJPL Golden Age Club, after much work on her part, obtained the U.S. congressman for our 19th Congressional District, Antonio Delgado, as our guest speaker. We were very pleased to have almost 50 members join us. It’s also good to know that the road doesn’t end at the bottom of the mountain, that we have a representative who can find us. Speaking of the club, MaryLouise and Vicky are still signing up playgoers for “Frozen” at Proctor’s. The date is Nov. 21. Lunch is at Glen Sanders Mansion, which is a beautiful locale and a wonderful meal. Please call MaryLouise at 518622-3397 to reserve your seat and dinner ASAP. It’s guaranteed to be a great time. My girl, Hannah Tuttle, showed her four bovines at the Walton Fair last weekend, four days and a very tired girl. As always, good luck. It’s great to see the farming tradition continuing in the area. Went to the Larry Tompkins show on Jewett at the Jewett Hall on Friday. A very informative and nostalgic time. More than 50 people came to see Jewett as it used to be. We don’t realize how prosperous the area was in the 1800s. It had two actual soda fountains, a bowling alley, hotels, people, all working and worshiping together to make a community. To my friends in the Grand Gorge area: How’s your faith going? I will be telling stories and doing the service on Sundays in the Grand Gorge Methodist Church. Come see me on Aug. 25, and Sept. 1 and 8. You will be glad you did. My “thrift store” is still going strong at the Ashland Church hall. We will be open again on Aug. 24. Lots of bargains, small kitchen items, sheets, blankets, dishes, knick knacks, etc. I am still getting donations, as many are getting their houses cleaned out for the winter season. Come in and see what’s new. The Catskill Glee Club will be performing at the Center Church Windham on Sept.
22. It is a wonderful concert, and also a fundraiser for the Ashland Community Church. I am asking for your help as a sponsor. We have a program to help defray costs, and we need your ads. If you have a business, the program is excellent advertising for you. If you are a family, or individual that would like to contribute, there is space for you, too. Please call me 518-734-5360 or lmgeand@yahoo.com. Thank you for your support. The September Ecumenical will be held Sept. 2 at St. Theresa’s in Windham. The speakers will be from Northern River, who has a foster children program. Please come and find out about this program, which will start at 11 a.m., followed by covered-dish fellowship. We are all looking forward to the annual ice cream social and covered dish at the Windham Hensonville UMC 5-8 p.m. Sept. 7. The Country Cloggers will perform at 6 p.m. A demonstration of their talents was given by our very own clogger, Marie Smith, who performed a step or two at our senior citizen meeting — 87 and still going strong! Come and enjoy. On Sept. 11, the monthly Columbia-Greene Women’s Luncheon will be held at Pegasus in Coxsackie from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Theme is Perpetual Blessings. The speaker will be Darra Peterson from the Cornell Cooperative Extension “Getting Ready for Fall.” Call Ruth by Sept. 9 at 518-6347405 for reservations.
CARES AND PRAYERS Prayers for John Grinnell, who is now at Robinson Terrace in rehab. Go visit him if you have a chance to be in that area. Company is always welcome. John Clancy (husband of Sharon Serviss Clancy) had knee replacement surgery and is doing fine, and still doing rehab. Happy birthday wishes go to John LoPresti and Opal Spaulding DeLong. Anniversary wishes and blessings to Louise and Jerry Cunningham, and Charlene and Ken Mabey.

AS I REMEMBER IT The “slide” program (now computer PowerPoint), at
Jewett presented by Larry Tompkins, was well attended, but if you missed it, a program about schools, etc., will be at the Methodist Church in Windham on Oct. 5. As I watched and listened to Larry, I noted that 450 children attended school in Jewett (which included South Jewett and East Jewett.) There were 14 schoolhouses in the extended town, and most of the children attended from first through sixth grades, with mostly girls continuing until eighth. They then had to go to another larger town to go to high school. Think about it — 450 children in Jewett, alone. Now we have consolidated into WindhamAshland-Jewett Central and have about 325 students in kindergarten through grade 12. What happened? As the show progressed, the one thing that stood out was the sheer size of the families. Twelve to fourteen kids was not uncommon. The households needed the children as farm workers, and to help run the house. If there were many bedrooms, houses easily became boarding houses and the girls were needed as maids, and the boys were needed to do outside chores. Many recognizable names, many people tracing their roots. It’s astonishing the names that still exist, and the names that can be traced to other towns. It always amazes Judy that the same names that she knew from the Walden area are duplicated here, families who moved from their homes as newlyweds and settled here. The pristine mountains attracted visitors, many who had money. The Kirkman family, who owned Kirkman Brown Soap, were frequent visitors, and later bought the Kirkman estate, which employed local cooks, housekeepers and outside help. On the other side of the town, in East Jewett, the Colgate family had their estate, and many of their friends bought houses around them. All of these contributed to the success of the town as they all used LOCAL residents as the help. Jewett had two stores in the Heights alone, complete with ice cream parlor and bowling alley. There were several post o ffices to relay the mail to visitors. Church Street was aptly named as there was a Presbyterian Church and a Methodist Church alongside each other. If you look at the area surrounding the church, you can still see the many houses that made up a little community, alas with the missing stores, both Sleven’s and Newell Morse’s General Store and gas station. As you travel the “main road,” which is Route 23C, you will find the connection between Jewett and East Jewett. You will see many historic houses, many new houses. Hotels, guest houses, old school houses, old stores. Unfortunately, we lost many to fire, but the memories linger.

Excellent Blanchett and Linklater salvage ‘Bernadette’ By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media
Cate Blanchett won an Academy Award for best supporting actress playing Katharine Hepburn opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Aviator,” Martin Scorsese’s epic biopic about Howard Hughes and she has been pretty much on a roll ever since. Not counting a doing-it-forthe-paycheck job playing a supervillain in “Thor: Ragnarok,” Blanchett was superb in Todd Haynes’ “Carol” as a suburban socialite who seduces a young woman with devastating consequences and brilliant as a selfdestructive woman who wrecks everyone around her in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine,” for which she won a well-deserved Academy Award for best actress. This is just scratching the surface of a long career for the Australian-born actress. So it was probably inevitable that she would eventually play the flawed but irresistible heroine in “Where’d You Go, Bernadette.” “Where’d You Go, Bernadette,” based on the novel by Maria Semple, is an odd aggregate of social satire, family drama, character study, comedy, travelogue and melodramatic
Cate Blanchett in a scene from “Where’d you go Bernadette”.
flashes, and these elements don’t quite fuse into a satisfying whole. The plot complications unfold cleanly and carefully, but the presentation might leave you cold. The story is of the type that works better on the page in the reader’s imagination than it does laid out in concrete terms on the screen. Two things keep it from losing you half way through. The first is Blanchett, who plays the main character, Bernadette Fox, right on the line between approaching excess and going over the top. Her finely modulated performance is never less than convincing even as the movie gradually loses credibility. The
second is the elegance of Richard Linklater’s direction. The movie, set mainly in Seattle and later in Antarctica (with some scenes filmed in Greenland) looks beautiful. Supported by Linklater’s confident filmmaking, the movie is visually seductive. Bernadette was a famous Los Angeles architect who walked away after a series of personal and professional calamities. She packed her family — husband Elgie (Billy Crudup), daughter Bee (Emma Nelson) and a golden retriever named Ice Cream — off to a leaky house on a hill in the Pacific Northwest. Bernadette suffers from
insomnia and prowls around the halls of her vast home furiously dictating orders to a virtual secretary who somehow manages her affairs. Bernadette is needy and clearly ruled by the thoughts that race through her mind, but not annoying or pathetic. And then things go bad, then they get worse, then they go to disastrous and then horrible. It’s a tribute to both Blanchett and Linklater that the movie’s strongest scene is also its simplest. Bernadette runs into a former teacher, Paul Jellinek (Laurence Fishburne), in a restaurant. They are seated at a table. Linklater places his actors dead center in the frame as the camera revolves around speaker and listener, who are completely still. When Bernadette finishes her rant, Paul gives her a plain piece of advice: “You need to get off your ass and create.” By the end, “Where’d You Go, Bernadette” feels without any hint of a larger purpose. Twenty minutes before the climax, it degenerates into a chase among the icebergs and not a good one. But there is Blanchett, unpredictable, unreachable, unstoppable.
TSL Movies August 22 - August 29 n Jay Myself — A documentary on the monumental move of renowned photographer and artist Jay Maisel who, in February 2015 after 48 years, begrudgingly sold his home: the 35,000 square-foot, 100-year-old landmark building in Manhattan known simply as “The Bank.” Through the intimate lens of filmmaker and Jay’s protégé, noted artist and photographer Stephen Wilkes, the viewer is taken on a remarkable journey through Jay’s life as an artist, mentor, and man – a man grappling with time, life, change, and the end of an era in New York City. 2018. 1h19m. n Olivia — Neglected for almost 70 years, Olivia is a remarkable work by one of France’s ground-breaking female filmmakers, Jacqueline Audry. Set in a gothic (somewhat reminiscent of Hitchcock’s Rebecca) 19th century boarding school for young girls. While not addressing lesbianism directly, it is the story of the two mistresses of the house, their competition for the affections of their students, and the students discovery of the dangerous game of love and attraction. In French with subtitles. 1951. 1h36m. n Angels Are Made of Light — This stirring and beautiful documentary from Academy Award-nominated director James Longley (Iraq in Fragments) traces the lives of students and their teachers at a school in the old city of Kabul. Interweaving the modern history of Afghanistan with present-day portraits, the film offers a nuanced vision of a society living in the shadow of war. In English, Dari, Pashto, and Arabic with subtitles 2018. 1h57m. n Mike Wallace is Here — An unflinching look at the legendary reporter Mike Wallace, who interrogated the 20th century’s biggest figures in his over fifty years on air and whose aggressive reporting style and showmanship redefined what America came to expect from broadcasters. Unearthing decades of never-before-seen footage from the 60 Minutes vault, the film explores what drove and plagued Wallace, whose storied career was entwined with the evolution of journalism itself. 2019. 1h30m. n The Biggest Little Farm — A chronicle of the eight-year quest of John and Molly Chester as they trade city living for 200 acres of barren farmland and a dream to harvest in harmony with nature. Through dogged perseverance and embracing the opportunity provided by nature’s conflicts, the Chesters unlock and uncover a biodiverse design for living that exists far beyond their farm, its seasons, and our wildest imagination. Featuring breathtaking cinematography, captivating animals, and an urgent message to heed Mother Nature’s call, The Biggest Little Farm provides us all a vital blueprint for better living and a healthier planet. 2018. 1h31m. n Rojo — In the mid-seventies, a strange man arrives in a quiet provincial city. In a restaurant, without any apparent reason, he starts insulting Claudio, a renowned lawyer. The community supports the lawyer and the stranger is humiliated and thrown out of the place. Later that night the stranger, who is determined to wreak a terrible vengeance, intercepts Claudio and his wife Susana. The lawyer then takes a path of no return involving death, secrets and silence. In Spanish with subtitles. 2018. 1h49m. n Los Reyes — In Santiago, Chile, Chola and Football are two homeless dogs who aren’t homeless at all. Scrappy, adorable mutts, they live in Los Reyes, the city’s oldest skateboard park, kept company by dozens of teenage boys who are constantly in motion. One dog constantly schleps around a deflated football (or golf ball or empty soda bottle); the other romps alongside him day and night. The voices of the young skaters, set against the noises of the city, form a soundscape: bragging, complaining, joking, sharing the daily experiences of workingclass kids. One day, two dog houses miraculously appear in the park – just in time to provide shelter for the coming winter. A touching film about the mysteries and joys of friendship: 2-legged on wheels and 4-legged on the ground. In Spanish with subtitles. 2018. 1h18m. n American Heretices — A glimpse into the deeply-entwined, polarizing, and often misunderstood history of religion, race, and politics from the perspective of a courageous group of Oklahomans working to bridge the divide within their communities. Leading historical, religious, and constitutional experts bring compelling perspective on how the conservative Christian agenda emerged over the last 30 years to become a powerful and divisive force in today’s political landscape. 2019. 1h25m.

An estimated 1.3 million pounds of the contaminant are thought to have been discharged into the river from two GE manufacturing plants in Hudson Falls and Fort Edward, about 50 miles north of Albany, according to the Riverkeeper website. The lawsuit announced Wednesday alleges that the certificate was issued even though levels of PCBs remain “dangerously high” in some sections of the Hudson River. “Trump’s EPA is failing New
In a statement Wednesday, the U.S. Central Command said it was investigating the incident, which it said occurred in “authorized airspace over Yemen.” “We have been clear that Iran’s provocative actions and support to proxy forces, like the Iranianbacked Houthis, poses a serious threat to stability in the region and our partners,” Lt. Col. Earl Brown, a Central Command spokesman,
said in the statement. The Associated Press reported that Yahia Sarie, a military spokesman for the Houthis, said in a statement that Houthi air defenses downed a U.S. drone Tuesday over the city of Dhamar. He said the drone was hit by a missile. The Pentagon acknowledgment of the lost drone comes as Human Rights Watch reported that the Saudi-led coalition that has been
fighting in Yemen carried out at least five deadly attacks on Yemeni fishing boats in 2018, killing at least 47 Yemeni fishermen, including seven children. The shooting down of the drone also comes as Saudi Arabia is dealing with the pullout of its partner in the Yemen campaign, the United Arab Emirates, which announced a steep drawdown of troops last month.
The Saudis and Emiratis began their joint war in Yemen in spring 2015, seeking to overturn a takeover by the Houthis, who are backed by Iran. Four years later, the fighting has settled into a stalemate, with the Houthis in control of the capital, Sanaa, and the country on the brink of famine.
career outcomes are weighted equally and are further broken down into a total of 19 metrics. WalletHub compiled data from the National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, Council for Community and Economic Research and College Measures for its survey, according to the report. Using this information, WalletHub was able to create a series of data sets comparing community colleges in terms of tuition cost, per-pupil spending, graduation rate, student loan default rate and return on educational investment. Schneier said he thinks the atmosphere at ColumbiaGreene is what sets it apart, he said. “It is very unusual to have a family atmosphere in
academic life,” Schneier said, adding that he has spent 50 years in the field. “It is rare for everyone there — faculty, staff and students — to agree that it is a good place to be,” he said. Drummer said she thinks the numbers add up at Columbia-Greene. “For under $5,000 a year, you can have a first-rate education,” she said. “We try to keep tuition as low as possible.” The college’s graduation rate is 35%, well above the national average of 22%, Drummer said. “Our retention rate is 64%,” Drummer said, adding that the rate is indicative of academic quality because students want to continue their education. There are several benefits
to going the community college route in addition to the cost-savings, according to the survey. “They often provide more flexible schedules, smaller class sizes and rigorous coursework,” according to the survey. “These qualities and advantages appeal especially to students who need to balance their studies with other commitments, such as family and work.” During the 2018-19 academic year, tuition and fees for full-time, in-state enrollment at a public two-year college averaged $3,660 per year versus $10,320 at a public fouryear institution and $35,830 at a four-year private school, according to the survey. Columbia Greene has a unique financial situation, Schenier said.
“We receive one of the smallest state contributions, about 18%,” Schneier said. “But we don’t make up for it with tuition like some other colleges. It comes from the very generous support from the two counties, which we deeply appreciate.” Murell is proud to support the college, he said. “We invested in the community college because we think so highly so it,” he said. Drummer credited her staff’s efforts in making Columbia-Greene a top community college. “I want to thank all Columbia-Greene Community College employees for the extraordinary work they do on a daily basis to make us the best community college in New York State,” Drummer said. It’s a real tribute to the work
the team is doing here.” Hudson Valley Community College ranked 30th overall and third in New York. Dutchess Community College ranked 17th and Ulster Community College 26th in the state. New York ranked seventh in WalletHub’s survey for the states with the best community college systems. For this survey, WalletHub calculated a weighted average of the scores earned by the community colleges in each state and the number of students in each school, according to the report.

Yorkers and the environment by putting the priorities of polluters first,” Cuomo said after announcing the suit. “The Hudson River is among New York’s most precious natural and economic resources, but despite years of dredging, levels of PCB contamination are still unacceptably high in the river and in fish. We have an obligation to protect the health and vitality of both the Hudson River and the communities along its banks for current and future generations.” Larisa Romanowski, public affairs specialist from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, said the EPA “does not comment on pending legislation.” Riverkeeper President Paul Gallay said awarding the certificate of completion prematurely could impact the EPA’s ability to mandate further cleanup of the river by GE in the future. “If left unchallenged, EPA’s decision could needlessly make it much harder for the agency to get GE to finish cleaning up its mess in the Hudson River,” Gallay said.
In addition to claims that the level of PCBs is too high in areas of the river, James claims fish have also absorbed dangerously high concentrations. “The facts are clear: Hudson River fish remain much too contaminated with PCBs to safely eat, and EPA admits they don’t know when — or if — they ever will be,” James said. “EPA can’t ignore these facts — or the law — and simply pronounce GE’s cleanup of PCBs complete.” Nearly 200 miles of the Hudson River, from Hudson Falls all the way to New York City, are part of a Hudson River PCB Superfund site. In 2006, the EPA entered into a consent decree with GE, agreeing the company was “responsible for contaminating the Hudson River Superfund Site with polychlorinated biphenyls,” according to court papers. GE began mandated dredging of portions of the river’s sediment in 2009, dredging approximately 2.65 million cubic yards of PCB-contaminated sediment, with the EPA overseeing the process. Dredging was completed in 2015.
But after three years, James said the certificate of completion for the dredging is “unlawful” because it inadequately addressed the problem. The lawsuit asks the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York to vacate the certificate of completion issued by the EPA in April 2019. Greg Williams, executive director of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, said his organization supports the lawsuit. “Since GE settled the case in 2005, they have spent less than 1.5% of its profits on cleaning up the mess it made in the Hudson River,” Williams said. “Asking New Yorkers to wait another 50 years to be able to safely eat the fish is neither reasonable nor lawful.” Ned Sullivan, president of Scenic Hudson, pointed out that restrictions remain in place on who can eat fish caught in the areas of the river affected by PCB contamination. “Fish remain so contaminated by GE’s cancer-causing chemical that the New York State Department of Health advises children and women
under age 50 to eat no fish along the 200-mile stretch of the river from the foothills of the Adirondacks to New York Harbor,” Sullivan said. “This is unacceptable.” In the Twin Counties segment of the river, children and women of child-bearing age are warned not to eat any fish caught in the river, and adult males have set limits on how much fish they should consume. Approximately 54 tons of PCBs remain in the Upper
Hudson River, James said. “Instead of fighting to protect our environment and the health of our communities, EPA is giving GE a free pass after decades of contamination,” Basil Seggos, commissioner of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, said. “By allowing GE to walk away from the Hudson River cleanup, EPA is abandoning its mission and leaving a job unfinished.”

Touch football embraces new mantra: Safety first Ken Belson The New York Times News Service

Giants’ Jones proving to ‘have thick skin’ Bob Glauber Newsday
NEW YORK — John Mara recalled meeting Daniel Jones during the pre-draft process, and the Giants’ president and CEO had one very important question for the Duke quarterback. “Do you have thick skin?” Mara asked. Jones told him he did. Mara spoke to Jones shortly after the draft and revisited the question. “Do you understand why I asked you that question?” Mara said. “He smiled. He can handle it. He can handle being the quarterback of the New York Giants.” Mara saw more evidence Tuesday that Jones indeed is properly wired to handle being the quarterback in the country’s biggest market. Not long after reports surfaced that Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield ripped the Giants’ pick of Jones in a story that appeared in GQ Magazine, Jones reacted with little more than a shrug. “I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones,” Mayfield said. “Some people overthink it. That’s where people go wrong. They forget you’ve gotta win.” Mayfield is hardly alone in his criticism of the Jones pick. I mean, who hasn’t ripped the pick? Even if you liked Jones coming into the draft, did the Giants really need to take him that high at No. 6 overall? Especially when they had the 17th overall pick, and it seemed as if no other team had a conviction on him the way general manager Dave Gettleman did? What’s different about Mayfield’s disparagement of the pick is that it comes
directly from another player. It is a generally accepted code among players, especially quarterbacks, that they don’t cast aspersions about their colleagues. Trash talking before, during or after games is certainly acceptable, but sweeping judgments such as the one Mayfield made? Not cool. Which is why Mayfield himself tried to walk back the comments Tuesday. “This is not what I said.... just so we’re clear,” Mayfield wrote on his Instagram account. “I also said I was surprised I got drafted number one. Then was talking about the flaws in evaluating QBs. Where I brought up winning being important. Reporters and media will do anything to come up with a click bait story. Heard nothing but good things and wish nothing but the best for Daniel.” Mayfield couldn’t put the toothpaste back in the tube on this one, and while he claimed his comments were taken out of context, he didn’t dispute his incredulous reaction at the Giants taking Jones so high. The bigger takeaway — at least from the Giants’ perspective — is how effortlessly and nonchalantly Jones deflected the remarks. His default reaction was to take the high road and not lash out at Mayfield or even challenge what he said. Had he returned serve and engaged Mayfield in a verbal tugof-war, it would have made for a far more controversial moment. He did nothing of the sort. There wasn’t even so much as an eyeroll or other facial expression that made you think Mayfield had gotten through. See GIANTS B2
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — On a steamy afternoon in June, Jim Poynter, the coach of the 7-on-7 touch football team at Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas, escorted one of his former players around the state tournament. In a game last spring, the player, Brett Green Jr., was knocked out after his head collided with a teammate’s shoulder as they jumped to intercept a pass. Green was airlifted to a hospital, where bleeding in his brain was discovered. He spent weeks in the hospital recovering from dizziness, headaches and blurred vision, and had eye surgery and physical therapy. He will never play football again. Poynter wanted Green to know that some good came of his misfortune. Spread across the fields, about 4,000 players on 128 teams from across Texas ran pass routes, defended receivers and celebrated with high-fives. What mattered most to Poynter, though, was that every player wore a soft-shell helmet. For years, 7-on-7 touch football has been billed as a safe way for players to stay in shape until tackle football starts up in the late summer. Most injuries involve twisted ankles, sprained knees and pulled muscles. But Green’s injury prompted the Texas State 7on7 Organization, aware that parents are more concerned than ever about safety, to become the first statewide group in the country to require that all of its players wear soft-shell helmets, starting at this year’s state tournament. “I don’t want that to happen to anyone else,” Green said. “It felt good to see in person because you know for sure they are wearing protection. I wish the decision had been made earlier, but I try to look for the good in everything.” The rule change in Texas is a fresh reminder that head injuries do not occur only in tackle football. In recent years, the NFL and other groups have promoted flag and touch football as safer

ways to teach young players about the game, and to keep them from abandoning the sport. But as they do, parents, coaches and players are learning that every sport has risks. “We’re living in a time where the perception of football is that mamas don’t want their babies to get hurt,”
Doug Stephens, executive director of the Texas State 7on7 Organization, said. “The other sports, there’s a danger there that no one wants to talk about. People say football, football, football. I get it, because it’s a brutal, violent game.” There are enough soft-shell helmets on the market now
that scientists at Virginia Tech began rating them in July. Stefan Duma, the engineering professor who oversees helmet testing at the university, said the quality of soft-shell helmets varied widely. But the decision to mandate them in Texas, the largest high school touch football See FOOTBALL B2
Mets ramp up intensity to stay in the playoff pack David Waldstein The New York Times News Service
NEW YORK — Todd Frazier has been on several bad baseball teams. Some were so bad that by the middle of August, the club’s fans — and even its players — had already shifted their focus to football. It happens to baseball teams every year, even some good ones: As August dwindles, NFL games pop up on clubhouse televisions while chatter about fantasy football teams intensifies. But with the New York Mets now in the heat of a playoff race, Frazier, the third baseman, wants to keep everyone’s gaze from drifting toward the gridiron for as long as possible. “When the football season does come around, I’ll make sure those TVs are off so people focus on the task at hand,” Frazier said before the Mets’ game against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday. “I’ll tell them, ‘When the World Series goes by, and hopefully we were playing in it, that’s when the good-time football comes around.’” The notion of putting the Mets in the same sentence with “World Series” would have been laughable just a few weeks ago. But with a solid second half and one remarkable winning stretch, they have vaulted themselves into a decent position, enhanced a bit by a 9-2 victory over the Indians on Tuesday night.. That win was the beginning of perhaps the most critical stretch of the Mets’ season so far: a nine-game homestand against three teams that have realistic playoff aspirations of their own

— the Cleveland Indians, the Atlanta Braves and the Chicago Cubs. The Mets’ chances of making the postseason could hinge on this collection of games at Citi Field. “These games are like playoff games, to be honest with you,” Frazier said. Frazier helped the cause Tuesday with a hit
and a fine defensive play, but the big hits came from J.D. Davis and Michael Conforto, who each had two-run homers, while Steven Matz pitched 6 1/3 strong innings for the win. Pete Alonso also had a two-run double as the Mets broke the game open with a four-run seventh. The Mets went into the game with a 64-60
record, which placed them two games behind the Cubs in a race for the second National League wild-card slot. Cleveland held the top American League wild-card slot at 74-51. The Braves, who beat the Mets twice in their recent three-game series in Atlanta, went into Tuesday’s game at 74-52, putting them atop the NL East, and Chicago was 66-58, half a game behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central. While this homestand could serve as measuring stick for the Mets as a group, there will also be increased scrutiny on manager Mickey Callaway as he faces the pressure of a make-orbreak stretch. In that regard, Cleveland is a distinctive test for Callaway, who was the Indians’ pitching coach from 2013 to 2017 under Terry Francona, one of the most accomplished managers in baseball. Callaway said he had learned a good deal from Francona, who often goes by “Tito,” including the importance of a balanced and calm approach. Callaway noted his former boss’ reputation for treating playoff games as if they were regular-season games in May, and he said he hoped to transmit that same self-assured demeanor to his players. “The games probably do mean more,” Callaway said. “There’s going to be more pressure on the players. You just have to keep a calm, relaxed atmosphere and allow them to perform to the best of their abilities. I think Tito does that better than anybody I’ve ever been around. I think it’s very important.” See METS B2

program in the country based on the number of teams, will spur the development of more sophisticated headgear and their adoption in other sports. “People are starting to realize it’s not just football, but other sports,” he said. “When you have kids running really fast, bare head-to-head or head-to-elbow contact is a very high impact event. If people are going to be running around at high speeds, having some padding will make a huge difference.” In a paper published this year, researchers at the University of Georgia found that youth flag football players from 7 to 10 years old suffered fewer major-impact head hits than tackle football players of the same age. But flag football players still received many smaller hits, including when they got close to opposing players to grab their flags.
Mets From B1
Francona, one of the more gregarious managers in baseball, said that he remained good friends with Callaway. They spent some time together at Citi Field on Tuesday catching up, and while Francona did not reveal the specifics of their conversation, he later discussed with reporters the pressures that a manager faces in New York. “He hasn’t lost the ability to laugh at himself, which I think

Yes, that’s the thick skin Mara was talking about. “I try not to listen to much that’s said. I think I’ve done a pretty good job of that,” Jones said after Tuesday’s practice. “I heard that (criticism) before, I kind of have the same mindset, I certainly have a lot to focus on here, I have a lot to worry about here and I’m focused on that. It’s been good, but just focused on what I’m doing here.” Jones was given an unceremonious welcome to the NFL when he was met with an
“It became very clear there are kids falling down on almost every play,” Robert Lynall, a coauthor of the study, said. “This idea that there is no contact at all is fairly naïve. The brain doesn’t care if it’s intentional contact or not.” The growing demand for soft-shell helmets has been a boon for companies like Gamebreaker, which is based in Westlake Village, California, and VICIS, based in Seattle, the only two manufacturers to receive five-star ratings from Virginia Tech. Mike Juels, Gamebreaker’s founder, said he expected other states and sports to require players to wear soft-shell helmets, which retail for about $49. His helmets use D30 “smart molecule” foam that absorbs more force than typical foams. Juels said orders often jump when a player suffers a head injury that makes the news, as was the case in Texas. Coaches and administrators then rush to reassure parents that they are doing everything to protect
their children. Juels, who sold the helmets used by nearly every team at the tournament in Texas, has also sold his helmets to tackle football programs at Miami, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M and other universities, as well as several NFL teams, which use them during nonpadded practices. The youth and scholastic market, though, is far larger. Adidas, Pylon and other companies that run 7-on-7 tournaments already require that players wear soft-shell helmets. “I was petrified, that’s how we got involved,” said Shannon Ferbrache, who runs the grassroots football program at Adidas. “We were scared someone would get hurt.” Children continue to get hurt. Mike Sadler, whose nephew was playing on the Bremond High School team in the tournament, said he was glad the team now wore helmets. In a qualifying game, an opposing player broke his nose when he collided with the head of a
Bremond player. Bremond ordered helmets soon after. “It’s a good thing,” Sadler said. “It’s all about safety, safety.” Injuries, of course, are not new. Some coaches believe that mandating that players wear soft-shell helmets is as much about reassuring skittish parents. “When we have a product like this, we’ll take advantage of it because we’re not naïve to the issue of concussion and the culture of football bashing across the country,” said Todd Dodge, the coach at Westlake High School in Austin, a Texas football powerhouse. Whatever the motivation, Poynter, Brett Green Jr.’s coach, said he was pleased the change was made. “I took him down to the tournament because I wanted him to have a visual, to look to the north, east, south and west, and see all those kids are wearing those helmets because of him,” he said. “I’m happy something good came out of it.”
is important,” Francona said. “When you are in a market like this, if you don’t win, you are going to get criticized or picked at when things don’t go the right away. As a manager, you do what you think is right, have enough confidence in the things you are doing, answer the questions and then move on. That’s the best way to do it.” Callaway’s short tenure with the Mets has certainly included instances of heavy criticism, including last week’s questions about his pulling Matz from a start before the seventh inning and replacing him with Seth Lugo, who gave up a lead in a
loss to the Braves. In addition to occasional managerial blunders, Callaway has made a few bizarre public comments and was embroiled in an ugly episode in which he yelled at a reporter in the clubhouse earlier this season. But even if Callaway has detractors among the Mets fan base, he has led a team that has been one of the hottest in baseball in recent weeks. The Mets have won nine of their last 11 series and entered Tuesday with a 24-10 record since the All-Star Game, including their remarkable 15-1 stretch from July 25 to Aug. 10. But many of those wins came
against teams with records below .500. Now the Mets will have to prove they can do it against good teams, too. “We put ourselves in a huge hole in the beginning of the year and halfway through it,” Frazier said. “We went 15-1, and we’re still not in first place in the wild card. That shows you how big a hole we made. But it also shows you our resilience and our determination not to give up.” That resilience was again on display Tuesday, and the Mets kept football at bay, for at least another day.
avalanche of boos when Commissioner Roger Goodell announced his name at April’s draft. And while he certainly admitted to being mindful of the negative reaction, he simply has kept his head down, gone to work and tried to
change minds the only way he knows how: with his play. He has done as well as can be expected through the first two preseason games, completing 16 of 19 passes for 228 yards, two touchdown passes and no interceptions. His accuracy
has been terrific, prompting some fans on social media to dub him “Danny Dimes.” Mayfield’s remarks, as well as other similar comments Jones has heard, have no outward impact. Just as Mara had suspected.

NFL notebook: Luck unlikely to practice this week Field Level Media
Andrew Luck’s return to practice won’t happen this week, Indianapolis Colts coach Frank Reich told reporters Tuesday. Luck is dealing with injuries to his left calf and ankle and previously had been ruled out of playing in any preseason games. Reich has said he would like to identify a starting quarterback for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers by Monday. Reich said the issue is a matter of “full speed movement vs. pain threshold” for Luck, according to The Athletic. Luck missed organized team
activities in May because of the calf injury and began training camp last month on a limited basis before experiencing a setback. –Oakland Raiders wideout Antonio Brown practiced with an approved helmet, putting aside a second grievance with the NFL over his headwear – at least for one morning. Brown reportedly filed a second grievance with the league on Monday in order to use his favored model – the Schutt AiR Advantage – hoping to get a one-year grace period. His old helmet is no longer approved for NFL use because it is more than 10 years old, and a newer model he found failed NFL testing.
An arbitrator will hear Brown’s grievance on Friday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. –The Dallas Cowboys reached a long-term agreement with linebacker Jaylon Smith. The five-year deal is worth $64 million with $35.5 million guaranteed, executive vice president Stephen Jones said. Smith sat out all of 2016 due to a knee injury sustained in college. In 2017, he made 81 tackles while starting six games. He started every game last season and finished with 121 tackles, including six for loss and four sacks, plus two forced fumbles. –Zero yards, 0.0 passer rating and one first step to forget. That was Jimmy
Garoppolo’s return for the San Francisco 49ers in Monday’s preseason game against the Denver Broncos, his comeback from a torn ACL. Garoppolo was pulled after three series with one completion in six attempts for no gain, and coach Kyle Shanahan said the plan was definitely to get him more work. “Obviously a little frustrated, but it’s the NFL,” Garoppolo said. C.J. Beathard spelled Garoppolo, but Shanahan said he expects to see his first-team offense for at least a few quarters against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. –Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock will miss time with what the team
said is a badly sprained thumb. Lock left Monday’s game against the 49ers. X-rays taken at the scene were negative, but he had more tests Tuesday. Lock completed 7 of his 12 pass attempts for 40 yards before he landed on his thumb in the third quarter when he tried to pitch the ball as 49ers safety Marcell Harris took him to the ground. –San Francisco wide receiver Shawn Poindexter likely sustained a seasonending torn anterior cruciate ligament on Monday, coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters. Poindexter, an undrafted rookie from Arizona, was scheduled to undergo an MRI exam to formally confirm the extent of the injury.

MLB NOTEBOOK:
Indians shut down Kluber after new injury Field Level Media
Cleveland Indians pitcher Corey Kluber was diagnosed with an oblique strain after leaving a rehab start Sunday during the first inning. The Indians will shut down the two-time American League Cy Young Award winner from pitching while he begins a new rehab program, the team said in a statement Tuesday. He will be examined in two weeks to determine if he is ready to resume a throwing program. Kluber, 33, has been trying to work his way back from a nondisplaced fracture in his right forearm that didn’t require surgery but forced him onto the injured list in early May after he struggled to a 2-3 record and a 5.80 ERA in seven starts. In nine major league seasons, the right-hander has a 9858 record with a 3.16 ERA in 208 games (203 starts). He is a threetime All-Star who was the AL Cy Young Award winner in 2014 and 2017. He finished third in the voting last year after going 20-7 with a 2.89 ERA. –The Los Angeles Dodgers welcomed back a pair of key contributors as Chris Taylor and Enrique Hernandez were activated from the injured list in

advance of a three-game home series against the Toronto Blue Jays. In another move, the Dodgers recalled right-handed reliever Dylan Floro from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Taylor is batting .261 this season with eight home runs and 41 RBIs. Hernandez is batting .238 with a .309 on-base percentage and 16 home runs with 52 RBIs to tie a career high. Floro is 4-3 with the Dodgers this season and has a 4.00 ERA in 38 appearances. –Former major leaguers Octavio Dotel and Luis Castillo were among those arrested after being linked to a large drugtrafficking and money-laundering ring by authorities in the Dominican Republic, according to multiple reports. Officials said that they are still seeking ring leader Cesar Emilio Peralta, known as “Cesar El Abusador.” “Eighteen other people are linked to this network, including athletes and baseball players Octavio Dotel and Luis Castillo,” Dominican attorney general Jean Alain Rodriguez said in a news conference before terming it as “the most important drug-trafficking

structure in the region.” –Right-hander Marco Estrada went from the Oakland Athletics’ No. 2 starter to free agent in the course of this year, as the club released the veteran. Signed as a free agent in January with hopes of being a leader in the rotation, the 36-year old was 0-2 with a 6.85 ERA in five starts before going on the injured list in mid-April with a lumbar strain.

Santana has been battling elbow soreness since July 23. The move is retroactive to Monday. The Mariners recalled outfielder Jake Fraley from TripleA Tacoma in a corresponding move.
–Carlos Carrasco touched 97 mph and topped 95 on his first four pitches on Monday night in his first outing since being diagnosed with leukemia. The Cleveland Indians righthander pitched one inning out of the bullpen for Double-A Akron, his first game since being diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, a treatable form of cancer, earlier this season. “It was great just to see my kids with smiles,” Carrasco said. “It feels great.” –Felix Hernandez declared himself ready to return to the Seattle Mariners following a nodecision at Triple-A Tacoma on Monday night. “What else am I going to show them to be up there?” Hernandez said, per The Seattle Times. “I feel pretty good, and I’m prepared to go.” Hernandez was placed on the injured list on May 12 with a right shoulder strain. Monday’s start lasted three innings, 69 pitches, and included five strikeouts and one unearned run. It was his fourth minorleague start, with 18 strikeouts in 11 total innings. –Reliever Trevor Rosenthal signed a minor-league deal with the New York Yankees,
according to multiple reports. Rosenthal missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery and was released by the Washington Nationals in June after giving up 16 runs in 6 1/3 innings The Detroit Tigers picked up Rosenthal but let him go after he allowed seven runs in 10 appearances last month. –The Atlanta Braves moved reliever Jacob Webb to the 60day injured list with a right-elbow injury and he likely is out for the season. Webb, 26, went on the 10-day IL on July 13 with an elbow impingement. In an attempt to return this season, Webb began a rehab stint at Triple-A Gwinnett on July 31. He pitched in 10 games, surrendering eight runs in 10 1/3 innings with 12 strikeouts and nine walks. –The Texas Rangers placed outfielder Nomar Mazara on the 10-day injured list because of a strained left oblique. Mazara suffered the injury Monday night in his first at-bat against the Los Angeles Angels and left the game. He is hitting .269 with 17 home runs and 62 RBIs in 108 games this season.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA
Man wants input from wife to plan couple’s activities My wife of 36 years has never introduced me to a restaurant, bought concert tickets or planned a vacation. She seldom suggests movies she wants to see or introduces me to any form of music. She claps her hands like a little girl when I say we are going out for ice creamor DEAR ABBY to a festival. I have encouraged her repeatedly over the years to be a more active participant in our relationship and to be my partner. Nothing changes. If not for my encouragement, she would have never gotten her degree, gone to concerts or on vacations or experienced life. I plan everything. To her credit, she’s willing to go anywhere and do almost anything, but I’m increasingly resentful that my wife acts more like a daughter than a partner. I have been trying desperately for years to accept this, but I’m sick of it. Tired Of It In Ohio
JEANNE PHILLIPS
Your wife appears to be a follower rather than a leader. You should have raised this issue a long time ago and included her when you were planning outings. Because the status quo is no longer working for you, you must tell her exactly what you have put in your letter. And while you are at it, show her HOW to do the research so she can suggest things to do, and things may improve. But do not blame her entirely because some of it may rest with you. My husband and I are arguing about what college our son, “Wyatt,” should go to next year. I think it should be our son’s decision to choose the college with the degree program he wants.
My husband disagrees. He wants our son to leave the nest, explore the world and become more independent. My husband says Wyatt is a “mama’s boy” and too reliant on me. Wyatt wants to go to our local university, which offers the degree program he wants. He said: “I can go to the local school. You and Dad won’t have to pay room and board or outof-state tuition, and I can keep my job and help pay for groceries or help with tuition.” For some reason, that statement means nothing to my husband. He wants Wyatt out of the house. Should I let my husband duke it out with our son because I have already stated my opinion more than once, or keep arguing that Wyatt should pick the college? This whole thing is stressing our son out because he wants to please his father, and I’m tired of my husband coming down on me for how I raised our son. Challenged In New Mexico I have to wonder if there is some other issue going on between your husband and your son that you didn’t mention. Wyatt appears to be thinking logically. He’s working and has offered to contribute to the household expenses. Many parents would be thrilled their son chose a school nearby. That your husband would label your son a “mama’s boy” and toss him out of the house is not helpful; it is hostile. Criticizing you for the way Wyatt has been raised is a cheap shot. Before making up your mind, talk to Wyatt’s guidance counselor at school. If the person knows your son, it could prove helpful to hear his or her perspective.
Office spirometry test alone is not enough to diagnose COPD I am a healthy 70-year-old woman. The only prescription medication I take is for dry eyes. I recently visited my new primary physician for the first time, and she had me do a breathing test, where I exhaled into a tube to measure airflow. I was told to breathe deeply and exhale completely into the tube three times in succesTO YOUR sion. It took less than a minute GOOD HEALTH to complete. It is apparently a routine test she orders for new patients. She then told me I have COPD, on the basis of that test alone. She asked if I had ever smoked or been exposed to secondhand smoke. That was her only question — coughing or shortness of breath was never mentioned. I have never smoked, but my father was a smoker when I was growing up. I actually do have a slightly productive cough most mornings. I probably walk about 10 miles a week, and I do notice some shortness of breath on long uphill sections, though I can walk briskly in level areas for miles with no problem. She said it is not advanced enough to require an inhaler at this time. I am bothered by this very easy “diagnosis” on the basis of one simple test. I wonder if I should ask to be referred to a pulmonologist for a more thorough evaluation.
DR. KEITH ROACH
The test your doctor performed is called office spirometry, and it is useful for monitoring known pulmonary diseases, especially COPD
and asthma. However, by itself, it is inadequate to make the diagnosis of COPD, which I am not sure you have. The diagnosis of COPD is made in people with persistent respiratory symptoms, usually shortness of breath or coughing. Spirometry will usually show obstruction to airflow. Formal pulmonary function testing, which is an extensive process taking an hour or so with a skilled and experienced technician, is ideal for determining severity. The problem with getting a breathing test in someone who has no significant symptoms is that you can find someone whose test results are at or just below the lower limit of normal, and the diagnosis is unclear. The prognosis for people with mild airway obstruction but with no symptoms of COPD is much better than for people with COPD and who continue to smoke. For this reason, using spirometry as a screening test for everyone is not recommended. Without knowing the exact results of your spirometry, I suspect you do not have COPD, given your absence of smoking and your extremely mild symptoms. A comprehensive exam by a pulmonologist would be definitive and may help you be less anxious about the results you have now.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are never one to suffer fools gladly, nor will you allow yourself to be pushed in any direction against your will! You insist on doing things on your own, of your own accord, without any kind of prompting, guidance or assistance — but is it realistic to expect to make progress without accepting help from anybody? Of course not, and that is why you must learn to listen to those with greater learning and experience than yourself — until that day comes when you can announce to the world that you know it all. You have many facets and many moods — but you try to maintain a positive, jovial outlook when you are among those who do not know you well. With your few close friends you are nowhere near as guarded! Also born on this date are: Kristen Wiig, actress and writer; Tori Amos, singer; Giada De Laurentiis, celebrity chef; Valerie Harper, actress; Cindy Williams, actress; Claude Debussy, composer; Dorothy Parker, author; Carl Yastrzemski, baseball player; Bill Parcells, football coach; Honor Blackman, actress. 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, AUGUST 23 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You may have thought of the “perfect” comebacks to someone’s comments, but they’re not likely to be said. You can fight back in other ways. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may be accused of not listening after speaking your mind, but the fact is that you are saying precisely what others should be saying. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Look beneath the surface today to discover what’s wrong. You’ve
been trying to make quick fixes, but this requires more of an effort. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You benefit from one or two important realizations today — but can you put what you learn to good use right away? Use your imagination. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You can’t take things personally today, or you’re likely to react inappropriately to remarks made off the cuff. Give your critics a break. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Take a look back at your past and you’ll know just what to tell someone else in order to help them out of a difficult situation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may be concerned about your own reputation today, but thoughts of self-preservation can keep you from doing the right thing. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may be in a situation that requires you to stick your neck out today if you’re going to solve a nasty problem. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — It’s a good day to take aim at something that you’ve been studying for some time. Pull the trigger! Others appreciate you getting things going. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You may find yourself in an uncomfortable position today, but an honest appraisal tells you that this is more your fault than anyone else’s. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Now is no time to complain; rather, you’ll want to harness your energy and gather your forces to do something about what’s bothering you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you’re not feeling quite up to par, you should check certain health markers — and ask if you’ve really been taking care of yourself. Be honest.
