HUDSON — As the issues over immigration heat up, a local organization is working to aid immigrants in need of legal representation but who can’t afford it. Three members of the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement are undergoing training to comply with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Recognition and Accreditation Program, according to Jarin Ahmed, a member of the group’s Coordinating Committee. The organization assists immigrants in both Columbia and Greene counties.

The Recognition and Accreditation Program enables “accredited representatives” who are not attorneys but have undergone specialized training to represent immigrants in immigration-related legal matters, according to the U.S. Department of Justice website. “These representatives are accredited through the Recognition and Accreditation Program, which aims to increase the availability of competent immigration legal representation for low-income and indigent persons, thereby promoting the effective and efficient administration of justice,” See HELP A10

telling reporters on July 31 that it wasn’t the beginning of a long series of cuts. But in his remarks Friday, he noted that events since that meeting “have been eventful.” “We have seen further evidence of a global slowdown, notably in Germany and China. Geopolitical events have been much in the news, including the growing possibility of a hard Brexit, rising tensions in Hong Kong, and the dissolution of the Italian government,” Powell said, also mentioning another salvo in President Donald Trump’s trade war with China, which was matched by new

countermeasures by that nation earlier Friday. “In principle, anything that affects the outlook for employment and inflation could also affect the appropriate stance of monetary policy, and that could include uncertainty about trade policy,” Powell said. “There are, however, no recent precedents to guide any policy response to the current situation.” Investors have fully priced in another quarter point reduction when the Federal Open Market Committee meets on Sept. 17-18, according to federal funds futures contracts.

Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, speaks during a news conference following a Federal Open Market Committee meeting in Washington, D.C., on June 19.

NORMAL

WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the U.S. economy is in a favorable place but faces “significant risks” as growth abroad slows amid trade uncertainty. “Trade policy uncertainty seems to be playing a role in the global slowdown and in weak manufacturing and capital spending in the United States,” Powell said in the text of his remarks Friday to central bankers gathered at the Kansas City Fed’s annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. “We will act as appropriate to sustain the expansion, with a strong labor market and inflation near its symmetric 2% objective.” U.S. stocks pared losses and Treasuries climbed after Powell’s remarks as investors took them as leaving the door open to another rate cut when the Fed meets next month. Citing slowing global growth and muted inflation, the Fed cut interest rates last month for the first time in more than a decade, reducing its target range by a quarterpercentage point to 2%-2.25%. Powell described the rate reduction at the time as “a midcycle adjustment to policy,’’

remarks suggest the committee remains in heightened risk-management mode. “We are carefully watching developments as we assess their implications for the U.S. outlook and the path of monetary policy,” he said. Powell’s remarks examined U.S. monetary policy since World War II. He broke the analysis into three long-run questions: Can the central bank restrain inflation? Can the central bank buffer inevitable financial excess? Can the central bank still provide stimulus and counter-cyclical policy in a time of very low interest rates? He answered the first two positively, saying that the Fed has the tools to quell inflation, while the post-crisis financial system is more resilient and monitoring has improved. Answers on the third question are a work in progress, he said. “Our economy is now in a favorable place, and I will describe how we are working to sustain these conditions in the face of significant risks we have been monitoring,” he said.

BIARRITZ, FRANCE — It ought to be good news that leaders from the Group of Seven are gathering for a retreat on the Bay of Biscay as the global economy slows, trade wars escalate and major economies like Germany slide toward recession. But the allies are so divided that they may squander the chance to find a solution. Any hope for progress was complicated Friday with China’s new tariffs on U.S. goods, a central banker pushing for a rate cut and France threatening a regional trade deal over climate. At any other time in history, the expectation from such a summit would be for a coordinated response to loosen fiscal purse strings and walk away from protectionism — an approach that came out of similar meetings called to respond to the far more dire global financial crisis a decade ago. This weekend, as France’s Emmanuel Macron hosts leaders including the U.K.’s new prime minister, Boris Johnson, along with U.S. President Donald Trump, disagreements over everything from Brexit to the future of the global trading system likely will stand in the way of unified solutions. China on Friday roiled the summit by imposing additional tariffs on $75 billion of U.S. goods in retaliation for Trump’s planned levies on Chinese imports. The best economic hope for the meetings in the Atlantic port city of Biarritz may be that divisions don’t get any worse, and that central bankers conducting their own retreat some 5,000 miles away in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, save the day. Driving that reality is Trump’s world view, which isn’t showing any signs of changing. The broad consensus from economists and other G-7

leaders is that the global economy would benefit most from an end to Trump’s trade wars. But the U.S. president has dismissed accusations that his tariff assault on China and threats to impose duties on Europe’s auto industry are contributing to any slowdown. Moreover, rather than seeking harmony, Trump is threatening to turn his trade wars into currency wars. “Fight or go home!” Trump told the Federal Reserve in a tweet Thursday bemoaning negative yields on German bonds and a strong dollar that he views increasingly as a threat to U.S. growth. Ahead of this weekend’s meeting, Trump administration officials insisted the U.S. economy and the president’s agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and cracking down on unfair trade ought to be envied rather than scorned, particularly in Europe where growth has slowed. And they are traveling to Biarritz with an ask for Germany’s Angela Merkel: to boost spending to head off a recession. Germany has taken tentative steps toward fiscal stimulus but so far the government is sticking to its zero-deficit principle. Some Trump aides argue concerns over the global economy are overblown thanks to the policy responses from the European Central Bank and others that are already underway, especially if those are paired with German fiscal action. “A stronger Europe will mean stronger demand for U.S. exports and more rapid U.S. growth,” said Peter Navarro, one of Trump’s closest advisers on trade and economic policy. “Such bullish help appears to be on the way with near certain ECB rate cuts, an increasing likelihood of a German fiscal stimulus, and a possible resolution of Brexit, which will both remove Brexit uncertainty

now suppressing some investment and clear the way for a possible U.K.-U.S. trade agreement,” he said. Bold action by the Federal Reserve, such as a 100-basispoint cut in the target rate sought by Trump, would bolster the U.S. economy and the world’s too, Navarro said. Such a move is intended to shift the U.S. from “good growth in the 2% range to great growth in the 3% range,” he said, rather than reflect any fears of recession. Navarro, who is a longstanding critic of Germany’s economic policies, is far from alone in viewing German fiscal stimulus as one of the keys to a global turnaround. Yet the push also highlights that the biggest division inside the G-7 over how to respond to a slowing world economy lies between Trump and Merkel. While the Trump administration would like to see a bold German move to abandon its obsession with balanced budgets, in Berlin there isn’t much appetite to cough up cash to help prevent a global slowdown they attribute in part to Trump’s trade wars. The German government isn’t ready to commit to meaningful stimulus at home or at the G-7. Nor is it in much of a hurry. Spending money now when factory utilization is still rather high, would simply stimulate imports or savings rather than domestic output, the argument goes. Contingency plans are being drawn up and Merkel has talked about “clouds” darkening the economic outlook, however. Finance Minister

Olaf Scholz said in principle Germany could muster some $55 billion (50 billion euros) in times of a crisis and the German government is aware that the ECB has limited room to respond and that a hard Brexit could tip the balance toward more rather than less action. The U.K., like Germany, is at risk of slipping into a recession after recent data showed a second-quarter 0.2% decline in gross domestic product. But Johnson’s month-old government echoes the U.S. view that delivering Brexit come Oct. 31 will end the uncertainty that has shadowed the U.K.’s economy and boost growth. In Japan, preparations are underway for an increase in government spending to counteract an October sales tax increase. Finance Minister Taro Aso also signaled Tokyo’s readiness to deploy further fiscal stimulus if it’s warranted after a G-7 ministers meeting in July.

Eatery owners: Closing tied to ICE enforcement By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — The Warren Street restaurant Mexican Radio Hudson closed Aug. 11, and owners now lay part of the blame on immigration enforcement actions and deportations that impacted their employees. A statement on the restaurant’s website, mexradio. com, claims that many of the restaurant’s employees, some of whom worked for the company for nearly 20 years, “have been forcibly and violently ejected from this country, tearing out the very soul of our kitchen staff.” Columbia County Sanctuary Movement Executive Director Bryan MacCormack said Mexican Radio is not the only business to deal with immigration issues. “There have been at least 12 businesses in Hudson and Columbia County whose employees have been impacted by ICE raids over the past two years,” MacCormack said. “This is the first, to my knowledge, that has closed. We have worked with employees of Mexican Radio in the past who have been detained by immigration.” MacCormack said his organization, which advocates for and supports undocumented immigrants, has worked with detained employees in Hudson as well as other towns in the county, including Chatham, Valatie and Kinderhook. Khaalid Walls, Northeast regional communications director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said there have not been any raids at Mexican Radio. “We’ve had no enforcement action involved with this business,” Walls said. Walls added that Homeland

Security Investigations conducts worksite investigations, and its strategy focuses on “the criminal prosecution of employers who knowingly break the law.” Mexican Radio has not been one of the worksites the agency has investigated, Walls said. While no ICE crackdown may have taken place at the restaurant itself, the eatery’s employees may have been detained outside their workplace. Mark Young and Lori Selden, the restaurant’s owners, could not be reached for comment Thursday. Until a couple of years ago, Mexican Radio had three restaurants — in Hudson, Schenectady and its original location, New York City. The first Mexican Radio opened in New York City 23 years ago, starting out as a 600-square-foot eatery on Mulberry Street in lower Manhattan. It moved to a bigger site on Cleveland Place in 2000. The second Mexican Radio was opened in Hudson, on Warren Street, 16 years ago, and the third restaurant opened on State Street in Schenectady five years ago. The Manhattan restaurant closed in 2017, and now the Hudson site is following in its footsteps. The Mexican Radio in Schenectady remains open. Young and Selden posted a lengthy statement on the restaurant’s website announcing the closure and claiming immigration enforcement and other issues, such as economic strains on the middle class, led to the decision to close. The statement claims some of the restaurant’s long-standing employees have had to “upend their lives, scrambling to survive the increasing burdens the hardworking middle class is coping with every single day.

Mexican Radio, 537 Warren St., has officially closed its doors for good. The restaurant’s owners claim on their website that the closing is due, at least in part, to immigration enforcement actions.

The signs of losing them and the growing affliction this has created for our local business community are now visible everywhere. HELP Wanted. There is no end in sight.” Melissa Fleischut, president and CEO of the New York State Restaurant Association, said there has been concern in the industry statewide about immigration raids, but this is the first restaurant closing she is aware of said to be related to immigration issues. “There has been concern about the raids and what the impact might be on the industry, but I haven’t heard of other restaurants claiming ICE enforcement actions have been forcing shutdowns or affected their ability to do business,” Fleischut said. “This is the first I’ve heard of a restaurant closing due to this specific reason.” Locally, MacCormack said the impact of the stepped-up ICE enforcement actions has spread throughout the community and has impacted the local economy.

“Hudson is based on the service industry, which is largely based on restaurants and bars, and historically, immigrants have played an important role in the service industry,” MacCormack said. “About 95% of the people we have worked with have employers and therefore their businesses have been impacted by immigration enforcement. And it’s not only in Hudson. They continue to raid workplaces and we think they are targeting specific businesses.” In addition to local restaurants, MacCormack said other industries have also been impacted by the immigration crackdown initiated by the Trump administration in recent years, such as farming, landscaping and construction. MacCormack claims the crackdown has far-reaching implications. “They are blatantly racially profiling people,” MacCormack said. “I have talked to people in local businesses in Hudson who have been stopped in

the streets, just walking, and asked to show their papers. That’s exactly what happened at Casa Latina — a woman who was from out of town and who didn’t work at Casa Latina was just going there for lunch and she was stopped on her way into the restaurant.” ICE officials conducted an enforcement action in Hudson on Aug. 13 and arrested a woman on Green Street, outside Casa Latina restaurant. At the time, Walls confirmed the enforcement action but would not release further information. MacCormack said any worker or employer who needs information about workplace or worker rights should contact his organization at 518-3033848 or the website www.sanctuarycolumbiacounty.org. “I would encourage business owners and employees to reach out to the Sanctuary Movement for resources to know your rights in the workplace because those are some of the most powerful tools we have,” MacCormack said.

Greene County volunteer re-elected to FASNY Home board of trustees ATHENS — Marilyn Schrader of Greene County was elected to the board of trustees of the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY)’s Firemen’s Home. She was elected at the 147th annual convention in Syracuse on Aug. 10. This will be her second term on the board, and she will serve a 5-year term. Schrader has been an active volunteer firefighter for 42 years. She began volunteering with the West Athens-Lime Street Fire Co. No. 1 in 1977 and has served as their fire chief three times. She was

secretary and treasurer of the Fire District from 1985-1989. She is vice president of her company and is serving her second 5-year term as Fire Commissioner. Schrader is an active member of FASNY and Firemen’s associations throughout New York. She has been past president and past director of the Hudson Valley Volunteer Firemen’s Association. She is a member of the Greene County Volunteer Firemen’s Association, where she has served as a past president and continues to work on several committees for them.

Schrader is a member of the New York State Association of Fire Chiefs and a member of the Hudson Mohawk Volunteer Firefighter’s Association. With FASNY, she has been on the Membership Committee and has been vice chairman. She is currently on the 150th Anniversary of FASNY Committee 2022 and the Convention and Exhibit Committee, in addition to a trustee of the Firemen’s Home. Outside of her volunteer service, Schrader has served the state of New York for more than 35 years. She recently retired from her position as

a Fire Protection Specialist 1 with the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services after 17 years of service. “I have been very proud to serve as a Trustee of the FASNY Firemen’s Home and am looking forward to a second term serving with my fellow Trustees,” said Marilyn Schrader, “It is an honor to be able to provide the best facility we can to our senior Firefighters, Auxiliary Members, and Spouses.” The FASNY Firemen’s Home started 100 years ago as a refuge for indigent

firefighters with no safe place to live and has become a fully licensed and certified residential healthcare facility. It provides members with rehabilitation and therapy and is well known for nurturing the camaraderie unique to the fire service. Located in Hudson, the Firemen’s Home also serves as the grounds for the Museum of Firefighting as well as the Firefighter’s Memorial. The Home additionally houses a chapel presenting interdenominational services and opportunity for reflection.

OUR VIEW

‘We are bound by their blood to remember’ The odyssey of the Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall concluded at the Historic Catskill Point on Thursday, a fitting backdrop for the solemn remembrance of 17 local men who were killed in action and the 58,000 others who gave their lives for their country. The mighty Hudson River roiling nearby reminds us that time moves on and that a tragedy like the Vietnam War need never happen again. Remembering veterans is critical at this time in history as survivors of World War II, Korea and now Vietnam are dying at an alarming rate. And this is exacerbated by the unthinkable suicides of more veterans. “This is a war monu-

ment like no other,” Greene County Treasurer Peter Markou said, alluding to the wall in his keynote speech Thursday. “This is a statement of lives cut short, of futures blotted out by death. Every name on this wall deserved a life. Every name deserved honor.” Markou is a veteran of the U.S. Navy. “Every year there are fewer and fewer of us left to remember,” he told the crowd. “We are bound by their blood to remember. As long as one of us stands we will not be forgotten. We will remember.” Markou reminded the audience to think not just of those who died in Vietnam but also those who came home and their plight.

“That 58,220 doesn’t count those with physical and psychological issues that plagued them for the next 50 years,” Markou said. “We have to remember there is no unwounded in war.” The Memorial Wall stands 6 feet high and is 300 feet in length. It is a symbol of who we are as a community and a nation. It is a symbol of honor and respect for all veterans, not just Vietnam veterans. It is a symbol of the sacrifices made to secure liberty and opportunity anywhere in the world. Above all, though, the Memorial Wall is a symbol of healing, strength and understanding, an understanding that peace is always within reach.

ANOTHER VIEW

After last year’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, it quickly became clear that students who had survived the horror weren’t willing to let their murdered classmates and teachers become just another statistic in America’s unending carnage of gun violence. They demanded change and ignited a grass-roots movement that has given youthful new vigor to the fight for gun safety. Now, these young activists have put forward a bold guncontrol proposal that aims to reframe the debate on gun policy. The ambitious agenda unveiled Wednesday by March for Our Lives, a group led by student survivors of the Valentine’s Day school shooting in Parkland, Florida, in which 17 people were killed, comes in the wake of this month’s back-to-back mass shootings that killed 31 people in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. “A Peace Plan for a Safer America” calls for a ban on assault-style

weapons and high-capacity magazines, a national licensing and gun registry, a mandatory gun buyback program for assault-style weapons, a rigorous licensing system and other measures to combat not just mass shootings but also suicides and domestic and urban violence. “It’s nothing like anyone else is proposing,” said Parkland survivor and March for Our Lives board member Tyah-Amoy Roberts. Indeed, the plan would go well beyond the modest gun-control measures such as expanded background checks and “red flag” laws that have been the focus of the current debate. Given the difficulty of enacting even those bare-boned safeguards - thanks to the sniffling obeisance of President Donald Trump and other Republicans to the gun lobby - one might wonder if there is a pie-in-thesky aspect to the students’ agenda. “We know this seems ambitious, given Washington’s apathy to decades of bloodshed in our schools,

Letters of less than 400 words are more likely to be published quickly. The newspaper reserves the right to edit letters for length, clarity and content. Letters should be exclusive to this publication, not duplicates of those sent to other persons, agencies

But the refusal of these student activists to accept the status quo and to instead fight for what makes sense has already produced results, including modest gun reforms in Florida and other states and the mobilization of young voters that helped Democrats in last year’s midterm elections. The students have now set their sights on the 2020 elections and hope their plan sets the tone for debate in both parties. As Roberts explained, “We are changing the conversation around gun violence itself because we don’t want the narrative to come from people who haven’t experienced it - to come from people who benefit from the sale of guns. We want the narrative to come from people who understand it from its very root.” Good for them.

Trade war shows reality of ‘America First’ in action WASHINGTON — In a trade war, as in a real one, people are wounded by friendly fire from their side. Consider some casualties in Donald Trump’s “easy to win” — his promise — trade war. Begin with the company whose green machines bear the name of the blacksmith who, in the 1830s in Grand Detour, Illinois, invented a self-scouring plow that could turn the Midwest’s heavy black top soil. Is the John Deere corporation “tired of winning,” as Trump promised that all Americans soon would be? Not exactly. The Wall Street Journal reports that U.S. farmers are purchasing fewer farm machines — Deere’s profits from this business are down 24% from a year ago — partly because farmers’ incomes have suffered as a result of the tit-for-tat trade spat that Trump started with China, which has included China canceling the purchase of almost 500,000 metric tons of soybeans. Some good news for John Deere might be ominous news for U.S. farmers: Equipment sales to Brazil and Argentina are up, perhaps partly because China has increased purchases from those nations’ farmers, who are American farmers’ competitors. Nowadays, even sensible government actions injure some farmers. Many of them have come to depend on government’s misguided mandate regarding ethanol in gasoline, and the Journal reports that 31 refineries have been given ethanol waivers from the Environmental Protection Agency. The Iowa Corn Growers Association says the exemptions could eliminate “nearly one billion bushels of corn demand.” Whether ethanol would have achieved sacramental status in Washington if Iowa did not have presidential caucuses is a subject for another day. Home Depot, the world’s largest home improvement retailer (more than 2,000 stores in North America),

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL partly blames the trade war for its lowered growth expectations. The tariffs, which The Financial Times accurately refers to as “import taxes,” will, according to a JPMorgan estimate, cost the average U.S. household “around $1,000 a year.” If so, this Trump tax increase — it is his alone — is more important to the average American than his (actually Congress’) tax cut. The Financial Times recalls that “hundreds of U.S. companies and trade associations said in a joint communique in June that the proposed duties would cause the loss of two million jobs and reduce U.S. economic output by 1%.” The losses and reduction are related to the fact that, as Allan Golombeck of the White House Writers Group notes, “Over 60% of U.S. imports are used by businesses in their products and production processes.” Hence Trump’s tariffs make U.S. goods more expensive, thereby dampening U.S. consumer activity. And exacerbating trade deficits, which do not matter other than as irritants to Trump, who thinks they indicate foreigners taking advantage of Americans by selling them things they want. Uncertainties infused into the global economy by the trade war between the world’s two largest national economies probably have helped to produce a global slowdown and fears, perhaps somewhat self-fulfilling, of an approaching recession. The fourth-largest economy, that of heavily export-dependent Germany, is already shrinking. There, as The Economist reports, “interest

rates are negative all the way from overnight deposits to 30-year bonds. Investors who buy and hold bonds to maturity will make a guaranteed cash loss.” This does not suggest economic health but might produce something pleasing to the president whose macroeconomic theory makes up in brevity what it lacks in nuance: “Low interest rates are good.” He is forever hectoring the Federal Reserve to lower rates, which it might again do if it sees a recession tiptoeing toward us. So, a recession would be an interestingly injurious carom — a win, of a perverse sort — from his trade war. From May 1937 to June 1938, there occurred the “recession within [the] Depression,” America’s third-worst 20th-century contraction. About the causes of this, as about so many economic events, intelligent and informed people disagree. However, one theory is that capital went “on strike.” Rattled and exasperated by the New Dealers’ regulatory fidgets, investors flinched from economic activity. If so, this episode contains a warning for protectionists who seem oblivious. They fiddle with global supply chains, as though the world economy is a Tinkertoy that they can pull apart and reassemble with impunity. Actually, it is analogous to an Alexander Calder mobile: jiggle something here, things wiggle way over there, and there, and there. So: Tariffs on Apple (headquarters: Cupertino, California) iPhones that are made (actually, just assembled) in China might help Samsung (headquarters: near Seoul, South Korea) Galaxy phones sell in America. This is “America First” in practice. George Will’s email address is georgewill@washpost.com. (c) 2019, Washington Post Writers Group

David H. Koch, industrialist who fueled right-wing movement, dies at 79 By Robert D. McFadden The New York Times News Service

David H. Koch, who joined his brother, Charles G. Koch, in business and political ventures that grew into the nation’s second-largest private company and a powerful right-wing libertarian movement that helped reshape American politics, has died. He was 79. Charles Koch announced the death in a statement, which gave no cause but noted that David Koch had suffered from prostate cancer in the past. Hitching his star to the soaring ambitions of his older brother, David Koch (pronounced coke) became one of the world’s richest people, with assets of $42.2 billion in 2019 and a 42% stake in the global family enterprise, Koch Industries. He also became a nationally known philanthropist and the early public face of the Koch political ascendancy, as the Libertarian Party’s candidate for vice president in 1980. Three decades after David Koch’s public steps into politics, analysts say, the Koch brothers’ money-fueled brand of libertarianism helped give rise to the Tea Party movement, strengthened the far-right wing of a resurgent Republican Party and played a significant role in the election of Donald Trump as president in 2016. A gregarious, socially prominent New Yorker, Koch loved the ballet, had been a dinosaur buff as a child and battled prostate cancer in his 50s and 60s. These were the stories behind his name appearing on cornices at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the American Museum of Natural History and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital — the Manhattan institutions on which some of his $1.2 billion in charitable gifts were bestowed. He was a familiar figure at society galas, a 6-foot-5 former college basketball star who long held the singlegame scoring record — 41 points — for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology team, the Engineers. He also had what New York magazine called a “seemingly limitless storehouse of Elks club-inflected jokes, which are often followed by his loud, wheezy honk of a laugh.” Koch had palatial homes in Manhattan; Southampton, New York; Aspen, Colorado; and Palm Beach, Florida; a yacht in the Mediterranean rented for $500,000 a week for summer getaways; and acquaintances that included Winston Churchill Jr., Prince Charles, and Bill and Melinda Gates. He also had bad experiences and good luck. He survived a 1991 plane crash that killed 34 people at Los Angeles International Airport. He broke down in tears on a witness stand in Kansas during a civil trial that nearly tore his family apart over money. And for years, he and Charles faced, and denied, accusations of having exploited libertarian principles for self-serving purposes. They insisted that they adhered to a traditional belief in the liberty of the individual, and in free trade, free markets and freedom from what they called government “intrusions,” including taxes, military drafts, compulsory education, business regulations, welfare programs and laws that criminalized homosexuality, prostitution and drug use. Fueling the right Since the 1970s, the Kochs have spent at least $100 million — some estimates put it at much more — to transform a fringe movement into a formidable political force aimed at moving America to the far right by influencing the outcome of elections, undoing limits on campaign contributions and promoting

conservative candidacies, think tanks and policies. But they said they had not given money to any Tea Party candidates. “I’ve never been to a Tea Party event,” David Koch told New York magazine in 2010. “No one representing the Tea Party has ever even approached me.” Still, he and his brother acknowledged roles in founding and contributing money to Americans for Prosperity, the right-wing advocacy group that was widely reported to have provided logistical backing for the Tea Party and other organizations in election campaigns and the promotion of conservative causes. Among the groups they supported was the American Legislative Exchange Council, an organization of conservative state legislators and corporate lobbyists. ALEC, as the group is known, drafts model state legislation that members may customize for introduction as proposed laws to cut taxes, combat illegal immigration, loosen environmental regulations, weaken labor unions and oppose gun laws. As part of their longstanding crusade for lower taxes and smaller government, the Koch brothers in recent years opposed dozens of transit-related initiatives in cities and counties across the country, a review by The New York Times found. Campaigns coordinated and financed by Americans for Prosperity fought state legislation to fund transportation projects, mounted ad campaigns and public forums to defeat transit plans, and organized phone banks to convince citizens that public transit was a waste of taxpayers’ money. By early 2017, Charles and David Koch, with a combined net worth of more than $100 billion, had become the leaders of a libertarian juggernaut loosely allied with the Republican Party, which, after eight years in the wings, again controlled the White House, both houses of Congress and many state legislatures. Under the Trump administration, the Koch brothers’ prospects in Washington seemed improved, at least superficially. But under the surface lay substantive political and personal differences between the Kochs and Trump. While the Kochs did not endorse Trump, David Koch attended his election night victory party and later met with the president-elect at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach. The Kochs contributed heavily to Vice President Mike Pence’s two campaigns for governor of Indiana, and counted a half-dozen close allies among the president’s cabinet choices and Republican advisers. “The Kochs will be key figures in any discussion about what direction the party takes after 2016,” The Times reported in September that year, “and they are determined to steer it toward their free-market vision.” That proved prophetic. As the 2018 congressional elections approached, the Kochs’ frustrations with Trump broke into an ugly and open exchange between Charles Koch and the president. Charles denounced Trump’s restrictive trade and immigration policies as divisive, and threatened to withhold the family’s support for Republican candidates who opposed the free-trade, government-shrinking policies at the heart of the Koch political philosophy. Trump struck back on Twitter, calling the Koch political apparatus “overrated” and “a total joke in real Republican circles.” A powerful dynasty Critics accused the Kochs of buying influence and using their political machine to manipulate elections and government policies under

He was 79.

freedom, cloaking what the critics called a hidden agenda to cut taxes and federal regulations governing business, the environment and other interests, primarily to benefit the Koch family and its enterprises. Jane Mayer, the New Yorker writer and a critic of the Koch brothers, said in her book “Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right” (2016), that the libertarian policies they embraced benefited Koch chemical and fossil fuel businesses, which were among the nation’s worst polluters, and paid millions in fines and court judgments for hazardous-waste violations. “Lowering taxes and rolling back regulations, slashing the welfare state and obliterating the limits on campaign spending might or might not have helped others,” Mayer wrote, “but they most certainly strengthened the hand of extreme donors with extreme wealth.” The Koch brothers rejected the allegations. In interviews after the book’s publication, Mayer said that investigators who she believed were hired by the Koch brothers had tried to intimidate her by digging up false information, including accusations of plagiarism, to smear her reputation. While the brothers portrayed themselves as equal partners promoting libertarian ideas, Charles was the major decision maker, just as he was the dominant voice in Koch enterprises, according to Daniel Schulman’s 2014 biography, “Sons of Wichita: How the Koch Brothers Became America’s Most Powerful and Private Dynasty.” There were other differences. Charles has lived most of his life in a walled compound in Wichita, Kansas, a secretive kingpin surrounded by lawyers, public relations retainers and security guards. By all accounts he reads economics, history and political philosophy, listens to opera, eats lunch in the company cafeteria with his employees and rarely gives press interviews. David, by contrast, was an extrovert who attended several dinner parties a week and bantered with reporters, politicians and friends in New York society. His outgoing personality was on display in a nationally televised interview with Barbara Walters on ABC in 2014. His vice-presidential run with Ed Clark, an oil company lawyer nominated as the Libertarian presidential candidate, drew nearly 1 million votes. Brothers against brothers David Hamilton Koch was born in Wichita on May 3, 1940, the third of four sons of Fred Chase Koch, an oil engineer and entrepreneur, and the former Mary Clementine Robinson, a Wellesley College graduate and the daughter of a Kansas City physician. David and his brothers — Frederick, seven years older; Charles, five years older, and David’s twin, William — grew up in Wichita under the discipline of an emotionally distant father, who taught them

to fight and compete with each other. That spirit carried into adulthood, engendering feuds and lawsuits that became public displays of avarice and fraternal malice. Fred Koch made millions in the 1920s and ‘30s by inventing a process to extract more gasoline from crude oil and by building refineries in the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and elsewhere in Europe and the Middle East. Fiercely anti-Communist, he co-founded the right-wing John Birch Society and created the Wichita company that became Koch Industries. After Fred Koch’s death in 1967, his sons inherited significant stakes in the company. Charles became chairman, chief executive and the strategist behind its expansion into chemicals, pipelines and consumer goods, eventually making Koch Industries the nation’s secondlargest private conglomerate, with interests in 60 countries, more than 100,000 employees and annual revenue of more than $100 billion. A bachelor until he was 56, Koch married Julia Flesher, a former Adolfo fashion assistant, in 1996. They had three children: David Jr., Mary Julia and John Mark.

Stop and smell the roses Roses are among the most popular flowering shrubs in America, and for good reason. The flowers are beautiful, many of them have heavenly scents and they come in almost any color imaginable. They have a wide variety of flower types, with as few as five petals or as many as 30 to 40. Some of the largest flowers will yield as much as two cups of petals each, should you want to use them for potpourri or perhaps to make rose water or to strew on your loved ones! It has been reported that Cleopatra covered the floors of her palace with fresh rose petals to a depth of one half meter in order to help seduce Mark Anthony. Apparently it worked, according to history. All rose flowers are edible if you should want an interesting garnish. Just cut off the white lower portion of the petal, which is often bitter. I would not suggest eating store bought roses, however, since they may harbor pesticide residue. Commercially grown roses usually receive lots of pesticide sprays! Their main downside is that some types of roses are not that hardy and cannot be reliably overwintered in parts of our region. Grafted hybrid tea roses will usually survive in most of the Hudson Valley, given a little winter protection, but at the higher elevations of the Catskill Mountains and even the surrounding foothills, they often perish during a cold winter. Some local, cold country gardeners treat them as annual shrubs that they plant and enjoy for one long season and they buy new ones the following year. That notion is really not all that extravagant when you consider how many people buy chrysanthemums each fall, purported to be

GARDENING TIPS

BOB

BEYFUSS perennials, but usually not. One way to deal with the hardiness factor is to grow them in containers and bring them into a warmer place for the winter. An ideal location is somewhere the temperature hovers between 20 and 40 degrees. They don’t need sunlight once they are dormant, but they might need occasional moisture over the winter if the soil dries out completely. One downside to growing them in containers is they will be pretty limited in how big the shrub can get. Roses grown in the ground can get huge, with some climbing varieties well over 8 feet tall. As the rose ages it will also need to be repotted every few years. In general, grafted roses, such as hybrid tea roses, are the least hardy, whereas roses that are grown on their own roots, not grafted, are hardier. Grafted roses are easy to recognize by the swollen, knoblike growth on the lower stem. It is important to plant them with the graft union just at soil level. If it is buried, new canes that arise from the ground might be from the rootstock and not the grafted top. This explains why a rose bush that featured large, white flowers one season, may produce small red flowers the next year. Surprisingly, the potted up mini roses that are often sold in greenhouses at holiday

times are among the hardiest varieties. Not too many years ago, roses were considered very high maintenance plants, subject to lots of pest problems, both insects and diseases. In recent years the rose breeders have drastically improved this situation and many of the newer varieties are really quite easy to grow. They all do seem to benefit from lots of fertilizer. If you grow roses for cut flowers, or even if you are just deadheading them (cutting off spent flowers), make sure you make the cut directly above a five-lobed leaf and not a threelobed leaf. Generally, the leaf directly below the blossom is three-lobed and the ones below that are five-lobed. Part of what provoked this column and the title was my observation that this has been a great growing season for a plant we call “Rose of Sharon.” This tall shrub, or small tree, is not even in the rose family, despite its name. It is in the hibiscus or mallow family. Sadly it is only borderline hardy and not all that reliable to flower, but when they have a good season, such as this, they are spectacular! Finally, I cannot write a column about roses without mentioning their prickles. Most people refer to these blood-letters as “thorns,” but technically they are not. Prickles are outgrowths of the epidermis and can be easily broken off (with heavy leather gloves) whereas thorns are modified branches and almost impossible to break off. So we can either bemoan the fact that roses have prickles, or celebrate the fact that prickle bushes bear roses. Reach Bob Beyfuss at rlb14@cornell.edu.

Mountain Top Arboretum annual author talk with Victoria Johnson TANNERSVILLE — Mountain Top Arboretum Annual Author Talk with Victoria Johnson will be held 5-6 p.m. Sept. 1 at the Education Center, 4 Maude Adams Road, Tannersville. When Dr. David Hosack tilled the country’s first public botanical garden in the Manhattan soil more than 200 years ago, he didn’t just dramatically alter the New York landscape; he left a monumental legacy of advocacy for public health and wideranging support for the sciences. A charismatic dreamer admired by the likes of Jefferson, Madison, and Humboldt, and intimate friends with both Hamilton and Burr, the Columbia professor devoted his life to inspiring Americans to pursue medicine and botany. Hosack’s story remains largely unknown. Now historian Victoria Johnson chronicles Hosack’s tireless career to reveal the breadth of his impact: a portrait of the man who gave voice to a new, deeply American understanding of the powers and perils of nature. From the meadows of

Manhattan and correspondents around the world, Hosack collected more than 2,000 at his 20-acre botanical garden. In his enormous conservatory, Hosack introduced New Yorkers to ornamental flowers, shrubs and trees from as far away as Japan, Madagascar and the Cape of Good Hope. Today, Radio City Music Hall sits on the footprint of Hosack’s conservatory. His land is home to Rockefeller Center. Victoria Johnson, a former Cullman Fellow, is currently an associate professor

of urban policy and planning at Hunter College (City University of New York), where she teaches on the history of nonprofits, philanthropy, and New York City. She holds a doctorate in sociology from Columbia University and an undergraduate degree in philosophy from Yale. Admission is free to members and $10 for non-members. No advanced reservations necessary. A post-talk reception will be held for Arboretum members. For information, call 518589-3903.

Admission to this event is by pay-what-you-can donation.

Ali Copperwheat has also participated in The Centre’s Opening Acts program for many years and won Oneonta’s Jr. Idol contest in 2016. Deeply steeped in old traditions, Morgan O’Kane treats the banjo differently than you’ve heard it before and brings a punk sensibility to his music. Joined by collaborators Ezekiel Healy on slide guitar, and Tianna Kennedy on cello, this renegade string trio is not be missed. Cooperstown’s alt/funk band, Hanzolo, features Carl Loewenguth (vocals, guitar),

Nick Summers (trumpet, keys), Jack Loewenguth (bass), Sebastian Green (drums), Nate Olmstead (aux percussion, drums), Joey Katz (sax, keys), and James Matson (trombone). Hanzolo’s original danceable tunes are reminiscent of Motown, David Bowie, and The Doobie Brothers. Perennial fair-favorite Wacky Wendy returns with her whimsical paper craft hats and comedy from 2-5 p.m. Oneonta World of Learning will be onsite with interactive children’s exhibits, activities and open-play invitations throughout the day. Another Fair favorite, Heart of the Catskills, will present a variety of adorable animals available for adoption. “Miss

Plant Pioneers offers plant-based crafts and activities, including “Music of the Plants” — connecting plants to a synthesizer and listening to the electronic tones they generate. Cosmic Karma Fire joins the WKC Fair fun this year, demonstrating and encouraging fair-goers to try a variety of flow arts skills. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own cups or water bottles to refill at complimentary water stations provided by The Water Bottle in Norwich. Carpooling is also recommended for increased fun and ease of parking.

The Cotton Club Encore, a benefit screening to be held Oct. 6 ALBANY — The Cotton Club Encore, a benefit screening for the New York State Writers Institute with a very special guest Francis Ford Coppola, director of THE GODFATHER and APOCALYPSE NOW, will be held at 2 p.m. Oct. 6 at the Hart Theatre in The Egg, Empire State Plaza, Albany. Tickets, $25 per person, available online or in person at The Egg box office at the Empire State Plaza, or by phone at 518-4731845. Proceeds will support the Writers Institute’s inaugural Albany Film Festival at UAlbany on March 28, 2020. The NYS Writers Institute welcomes legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola for the Albany

Sitcer

Seamless Gutters

premiere of THE COTTON CLUB ENCORE. A conversation with Coppola and Writers Institute founder William Kennedy, who co-wrote the original screenplay, will follow the screening. Francis Ford Coppola’s restored and re-edited film features 30 minutes of new footage with several highenergy musical and dance

numbers cut from the 1984 COTTON CLUB movie. The restorations expand the film’s dramatic line, especially the black characters’ story and performances. The new film, appearing 35 years after the original, represents a labor of love for Coppola, who spent half a million dollars of his own money re-editing it.

These are called “The Dog Days of Summer.” I figured that the dogs would know how to handle them so I tried one of Telly, faithful canine companion’s favorite solutions. I dug a nice hole under a large bush in a shady part of the yard and tried laying in it with my belly on the cool dirt. Actually it didn’t help much, the heat and humidity were still oppressive. Heat and humidity are not my friends. Maybe the reference to dogs came about because of people like me who try to find a comfortable spot where they can just sit and pant. The nights don’t bring much rest. I don’t like sleeping with the air conditioner on. A fan helps but doesn’t provide much in the way of heat loss. I roam the house looking for a spot I won’t stick to, water glass in hand as I try vainly to equalize the intake with the output. Finally, the clock tells me it’s officially dawn and I can start my day. The shower feels good but I know it’s just temporary. By the time I shave and brush my teeth, I’m all hot and sticky again. Getting dressed is a great way to start the day. I stand near my dresser and try to decide how far I can push the limits of common decency

WHITTLING AWAY

DICK

BROOKS in my choice of attire. There are laws about what has to be covered and what can be left hanging out, you know. T-shirt and shorts, that’s easy. Feet, now that required some thought! I bought some new white crew socks the other day. Doesn’t sound like a problem, does it? Have you ever seen a cranky, follically challenged senior, who hasn’t slept well for a week, try to pull a tight new sock over a damp size 13 foot? It elevates the sport of Sock Wrestling to a whole new level. It kept me amused for hours. I finally decided to adopt the California sock-less look, at least until it snows. In fact, maybe I’ll take it a step further. I just might go native all together. The crab grass near the back of the garage is now about three feet tall, since I haven’t mowed it for three days. I just might use it to fashion an extra large grass skirt and forgo all other

attire. It might be quite handsome, I could accessorize with a few clam shells and a feather or two. It would probably alarm the neighborhood dogs and cats and possibly frighten small children. I don’t think the neighbors would mind, they’re getting used to such things. But the Queen probably wouldn’t let me attend church in my new fashion statement. I wouldn’t say the weather is making me cranky, but it is. It would be nice to have someone to blame it on. My favorite TV weatherman won’t take any responsibility, as usual. I’d blame it on Al Gore since he was the one who was pushing this global warming thing, but right now he seems to have more on his plate than he can handle. I considered taking all the stuff out of the refrigerator and seeing if I could fit inside but I’m not sure if that little light inside stays on when the door shuts and I don’t like the dark that much. Hope this hot spell breaks soon, I really need some rest! Thought for the week — How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you’re on. Until next week, may you and yours be happy and well. Reach Dick Brooks at whittle12124@yahoo.com.

4-H marks 28th annual 4-H Livestock Sale on Labor Day CHATHAM — Columbia and Greene Counties 4-H announces that the annual 4-H Livestock Sale, held during the Columbia County Fair, is entering its 28th year. Anyone can be a bidder. Everyone is invited at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 2 at the Show Ring on the Columbia County Fairgrounds in Chatham. Plan to arrive early to register and take your seat in the stands. The sales’ founder, Phil Trowbridge, and perennial ring steward, Mike Shanahan, will be working the ring with a new auctioneer this year, Ed Morgan. The Livestock Sale is part of the 4-H Market Livestock Project, designed to teach youth

about raising animals for meat production. They attend educational meetings about proper handling, market specifications and business aspects. Throughout the year the youth use this knowledge to care for their animals – feeding, grooming, exercising and working with them so they are ready for the show. On the business end, the 4-H livestock owners keep financial records and encourage prospective bidders to join us for the sale. Each 4-H member must complete this project to be able to participate in the auction sale and only blue ribbon animals with a rating of “excellent” qualify for sale. The proceeds of the sale benefit Columbia County’s

4-H youth livestock producers, the next generation of farmers in Columbia County. You may purchase a live animal for processing, to take home or donate the animal back. If you choose to have the animal processed, you will decide on how you want it cut with an expert at the auction to assist you. For this option, you will pay the processing fees and the 4-H’er will hand deliver your meat, all vacuum-packed and labeled. If you decide to donate the animal back, it will be re-sold later in the auction to support the Columbia and Greene 4-H livestock program. For information, contact Linda Tripp at 518-318-1193 or Lke2@cornell.edu.

Famed warhorse, Comanche, subject of new book to be launched at Dutchess County Fair CHESTER, Conn. — The warhorse, Comanche, survivor of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and his owner, Captain Myles Keogh, are the subject of the book, “Comanche and His Captain — The Warhorse and The Soldier of Fortune,” to be launched this Friday, Aug. 23, at the Dutchess County Fair in Rhinebeck. The debut will be hosted by Taborton Equine Books, booth No. 5 in building A. The author, Janet Barrett, will be on hand to greet visitors and sign books throughout the day. Set against the fury of the Civil War and the challenges of securing the frontier, the intertwined stories of the tough Mustang and the Irish soldier of fortune move toward a climax that is both an ending and a beginning. The two rode together for eight years, a partnership that took them to the Little Bighorn. No soldier survived

that fight, not one of the 210 men under General Custer’s command. Only Comanche remained standing on the battlefield that was covered with the dead. The news sent shock waves across the country. But Comanche’s survival brought comfort. He became the most famous horse in America, 2nd Commanding Officer of the 7th Cavalry, his presence helping to restore the cavalry’s image of strength and courage. Previously, Barrett wrote “The Called Her Reckless — A True Story of War, Love and One Extraodinary Horse,” about another warhorse, Reckless, and her fellow Marines in the Korean War. The 174 Dutchess County Fair runs Aug. 20-25. Advance tickets are available online at DutchessFair. com, and at local retailers. “Comanche and His Captain” will be avaiable from Amazon.com and other dealers.

Once-In-A-Lifetime SkyRide On August 24 Walkway Over the Hudson Welcomes Motorcyclists To Cross Bridge for Once-In-ALifetime SkyRide On August 24, Kicking Off 10-Year Anniversary Celebrations Fundraiser held to improve Walkway’s accessibility for seniors and those with mobility issues and support local veterans’ groups. POUGHKEEPSIE — On Saturday, Aug. 24, Hudson Valley motorcyclists, passengers and spectators are invited to participate in SkyRide, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ride over Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park in celebration of the bridge’s 10-year anniversary. For complete information and to register, visit walkway.org/skyride. “In recognition of our 10-year anniversary in October 2019, the Friends of the Walkway are hosting unique events and celebrations that call back to memorable moments from the bridge’s first decade,” said Elizabeth Waldstein, Executive Director, Walkway Over the Hudson. “This one-time-only motorcycle SkyRide recalls the unifying parades of opening weekend and celebrates the Walkway’s role in the safety and security of the Hudson Valley.” “This historic event is the result of years of hard work and perseverance by area motorcyclists who came together with community leaders to launch something truly special,” said New York State Senator Sue Serino. “I am proud to see that it will finally be taking off and thank everyone who played a role in ensuring that this long-held dream of so many here in our community will become a reality.” “After many years of planning, the Red Knights of Dutchess and Ulster Counties are so happy to be leaders in the once-in-a-lifetime SkyRide on August 24,” said Rich Valentine, President of Red Knights Chapter 37. “We’re especially pleased to be able to support the Walkway Over the Hudson in raising vital

funds to enhance their veterans programming to reach more of our heroes than ever before, as well as make the Walkway more accessible to all.” “As a Walkway Ambassador, I talk to people all the time who are concerned about being physically able to enjoy the bridge’s views. As a veteran, I know how much the Walkway does to honor those that have served,” said Don Cady, Walkway Ambassador and Korean War veteran. “SkyRide will allow the Walkway to make the bridge easier to access for everybody and enhance veterans’ programs. I can’t wait to see it!” SkyRide proceeds will be used to improve accessibility to the Walkway Over the Hudson for people including seniors and those with mobility challenges. Event revenue will also support local veterans’ programs. Much of the state and federal funding that allowed the dream of the Walkway to become a reality was received because the span can be crossed by vehicles in the event of an emergency. The SkyRide is run in partnership with Red Knights #33 and #37, and local chapters of the Blue Knights, groups of motorcyclists representing the law enforcement officers, firefighters, and first responders that have kept the Walkway and our community safe throughout the past ten years. The SkyRide is supported by Moroney’s Harley-Davidson, Orange County Powder Coating, O’Connor and Partners, Lisa O. Photography, Hudson Valley Rail Trail, Motorcyclepedia Museum, New York State Bridge Authority, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Red Knights of Ulster and Dutchess Counties, Blue Knights of Ulster and Dutchess Counties, and iHeart Media of the Hudson Valley, and more. Complete information about SkyRide can be found online at walkway.org/skyride or by calling 845-4549649 ext. 106.

ABOUT SKYRIDE Registered bikers and their passengers will check-in and assemble on the Hudson Valley Rail Trail at 101 New Paltz Road in Highland between 8-10:30 a.m. The ride begins at 9:30 a.m. After crossing the Walkway Over the Hudson, all riders will proceed to Motorcyclepedia Museum in Newburgh where they will enjoy a post-ride celebration from 12-5 p.m. SkyRide is strictly limited to 1,500 motorcycles. Registration is open for $40 per rider, $10 per passenger. Spectators are invited to see SkyRide from designated viewing areas at the Walkway’s Ulster Welcome Center Plaza for $20, which includes admission to Motorcyclepedia. To secure your place, visit walkway.org/skyride. For safety and security, the Hudson Valley Rail Trail will open to the public at approximately 12 p.m. and the Walkway Over the Hudson will open to the public at approximately 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 24.

Spencertown Academy 14th annual Festival of Books SPENCERTOWN — Spencertown Academy Arts Center’s 14th annual Festival of Books takes place over Labor Day weekend, Aug. 30 through Sept. 2. The festival features a used book sale, two days of discussions with and readings by esteemed authors, and a children’s program. Featured authors include Ruth Reichl, Boris Fishman, Jenna Blum, Daphne Kalotay, David Yaffe, Steve Katz, Grace Taluson, and Crystal Hana Kim. Admission is free to all events, save for the Members Preview early book-buying opportunity detailed below. Authors’ books will be available for purchase and signing. Healthy snacks and beverages will also be for sale throughout the weekend, including the Academy’s signature “ToDie-For, No-Alarm Vegetarian Chili.”

FESTIVAL MAIN STAGE Aug. 31: The festival kicks off at noon with “Remembering Woodstock,” a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the seminal music festival moderated by music industry veteran Gerald Seligman. Authors David Yaffe and Steve Katz will read from their books and discuss the influence of the festival musicians through the years, during and beyond the Woodstock summer. Yaffe’s other books include “Bob Dylan: Like a Complete Unknown” and “Fascinating Rhythm: Reading Jazz in American Writing.” Katz was a founding member of The Blues Project and Blood, Sweat & Tears. He became a record producer, working with rock renegade Lou Reed, among others. At 1:30 p.m., author Grace Talusan, in conversation with playwright Liz Diggs, will explore the art and craft of memoir writing. She will discuss her debut book, “The Body Papers,” winner of the Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing. Talusan’s unflinching memoir is about her life as an immigrant from the Philippines, racism and childhood sexual abuse, as well as how she grappled with her family’s history of cancer. She gives voice to unspeakable experiences, and shines a light of hope into the darkness. At 3 p.m., author Boris Fishman will talk about food and family. His memoir with recipes, “Savage Feast: Three Generations, Two Continents, and a Dinner Table” tells the story of his childhood immigration from the Soviet Union, exploring the meaning of food after generations of scarcity and how a dinner table in Brooklyn lured him back to his culture in the United States. Elaine Khosrova, author of “Butter: A Rich History,” will join him in conversation.

FESTIVAL MAIN STAGE Sept. 1. At noon, best-selling novelists Jenna Blum and Daphne Kalotay will discuss the legacy of war. Both authors’ recent books take place against the background of war and its long-term consequences. Blum’s “The Lost Family” follows a family facing truth in the shadow of WWII. Kalotay’s “Blues Hours” is part

love story, part adventure, illustrating the consequences of America’s involvement in Afghanistan. At 1:30 p.m., debut novelist Crystal Hana Kim will discuss her book, “If You Leave Me,” a tale of war, family and forbidden love—the unforgettable saga of two ill-fated lovers in Korea and the heartbreaking choices they’re forced to make in the years surrounding the civil war that still haunts us today. Jessica Williams, executive editor at William Morrow/ HarperCollins, will join Kim in conversation. Sunday’s final program at 2:30 p.m. will feature trailblazing food writer and restaurant critic Ruth Reichl in conversation with Dinitia Smith, former culture reporter for The New York Times. Reichl took the job of a lifetime when she entered the high-stakes world of magazine publishing. Now, for the first time, she chronicles her groundbreaking tenure as editor in chief of Gourmet in “Save Me the Plums: My Gourmet Memoir.”

CHILDREN’S PROGRAM The Festival of Books children’s program 10-11:30 a.m. Aug. 31 will feature “Froggy,” the lovable and popular character in a children’s book series by Jonathan London. The costumed character will be on hand to greet children and pose for photos with them. Children will hear funny stories about the silly amphibian, create a related craft, and browse in the Children’s Book Room, which will be open throughout the festival.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA • THE DAILY MAIL

A10 - Saturday - Sunday, August 24-25, 2019

Speech From A1

He closed the ceremony by saying, “God bless our president.” Andreassen’s political remarks did not sit well with veteran John Lissandrello of Palenville. “It is a golden rule that at that event — a solemn event on sacred ground — there is no place for politics,” Lissandrello said. Lissandrello served in the U.S. Army as a Spc. 4th Class during the war and knew several of the Greene County veterans who were killed in action and honored Thursday. Lissandrello said he was

shocked at the content of Andreassen’s speech. “Catskill and Greene County decided to have a master of ceremonies that tried to have a Trump rally and turn it into a political event,” Lissandrello said. “I was so enraged that I got up and walked out.” Andreassen went off script of his own accord, Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said Friday. “The committee made a determination as to who the primary speaker was,” Groden said. “There was a script that Tom was given and it was written and approved by the committee. By his own admission he said he was going off script.” The content was not discussed by the committee,

Groden said, adding that it should not have been included. Andreassen was on the committee, as were representatives from other veterans groups and various county departments. Thursday was Lissandrello’s fourth time seeing the wall, he said. The other towns did not bring politics into the mix, he said. After the ceremony, Lissandrello spoke with the wall manager, Richard Russo, who has toured the country with the wall for 13 years. “[Russo] was appalled,” Lissandrello said. “He has been with the wall 13 years and he has never experienced anything like that. I’m sure he will make sure Catskill never

gets the wall again after that.” Russo said he would not make the decision based on Thursday’s events. “It’s not going to have an effect on whether or not I come back,” Russo said. “I bring it out for people who can’t make it to Washington, D.C.” Russo agreed he had not had this type of feedback before. “I have had three or four phone calls and 15 emails about the speaker,” he said. “I have never gotten this type of feedback before. A lot of people are not happy.” Throughout his experience with the wall, Russo said politics seldom come into play. “Even politicians know the war is a neutral place,” he said. “If you want to talk

politics, get on the other side of the fence.” Russo said he believed that it was a beautiful ceremony. “You can’t help people wanting to say whatever they want,” Russo said. Groden agreed that the ceremony went well overall. “I want to thank the committee,” he said. “Their work was invaluable. I was very impressed. Everything unfolded very nicely from the beginning.” Crane Davis, of Palenville, served as a rifle platoon commander in the Marines. Davis did not approve of the conduct at the ceremony, he said in a statement. “At the Vietnam Wall, a very special group of veterans and their families gather to honor

Bridge

to expedite repairs without bottlenecking traffic. “I am very happy today,” Ghent Town Supervisor Michael Benvenuto said. “You

tend to hear [complaints] from residents and I understand. We met initially and decided to close the bridge. It was a good decision. It [construction] got

done early. We didn’t have to worry about school. It is open for the fair. I live on Route 66, just up the road and I can tell you how much traffic is going to

come through here.” The Columbia County Fair opens Aug. 28 and runs through Labor Day. “We are pleased that this

important project has been completed in time for the Columbia County Fair,” Department of Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball said in a statement. “The bridge improvement will make it easier for visitors to get to the fair and enjoy all of the family fun and educational activities highlighting New York State’s agricultural traditions, including some new additions that we have been proud to support through the Agricultural Fairgrounds Infrastructure Improvement Program. We thank DOT and encourage Columbia County residents and visitors to experience all that the fair has to offer.” Chatham Deputy Mayor Peter Minahan, Assemblywoman Didi Barrett, D-106, Columbia County Fair Manager Angelo Nero and other dignitaries were also in attendance for the ribbon-cutting.

Movement members undergoing training and several more are expected to follow, Ahmed said. All are volunteers who would provide legal assistance in immigration matters at little to no cost. “Several of us have already gone to New York City and done a 40-hour training, and now it’s a matter of submitting all our documents to the Department of Justice and getting approval from them,” Ahmed said. While fully accredited representatives can represent clients in immigration court, the three members of the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement are undergoing training to become partially accredited representatives who can assist immigrants with legal matters on affirmative applications or to adjust their immigration status. They will also be able to represent clients in interviews with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, MacCormack said. The Columbia County Sanctuary Movement has been working with the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, which has provided

ongoing resources for their training as well as mentorship in setting up a legal program. The 40-hour training was provided by the New York Immigration Coalition, and the group also works with a supervising attorney, MacCormack said. After the three organization members receive partial accreditation, they may eventually pursue full accreditation, which would allow them to represent clients in immigration court, he noted. “We want to get our feet under us and understand what is involved before we commit and train to become fully accredited representatives,” MacCormack said. Columbia County Public Defender Dominic J. Cornelius, a former public defender for Greene County, said both counties lack attorneys who specialize in immigration law. “I think there is a lack of immigration attorneys in Greene

and Columbia counties, and many of the people who face immigration issues don’t have sufficient funds to afford an immigration attorney, so having individuals who are trained and certified does fill a vacuum that exists in both Greene and Columbia counties,” Cornelius said. “I cannot think of a single attorney in either county that handles immigration matters.” When a client at the public defender’s office has a case that could have immigration implications, Cornelius said his department’s attorneys use a helpline and the assistance of an attorney in Westchester County who offers advice on how to best represent their client. “While we don’t have resources in Greene County or Columbia County, we do avail ourselves of resources outside the county and they have been extremely helpful in guiding us in how to represent

our clients with regard to the consequences that a conviction could have on removal,” Cornelius said. But that assistance goes only so far, Cornelius said. Public defenders don’t represent clients on immigration matters. “Our office only represents individuals when they are charged with a crime and conviction would have consequences on their immigration status, but we don’t represent them in immigration court,” Cornelius said. The Columbia County Sanctuary Movement is looking to fill a gap in the Twin Counties when it comes to obtaining legal advice on immigration matters, Ahmed said. “The Department of Justice created this system because of the lack of immigration attorneys,” Ahmed said. To obtain representation from an immigration

attorney, local immigrants have to travel long distances from the Twin Counties, MacCormack said. “People in our area have to travel at least 45 miles to get to an immigration attorney, and that doesn’t even account for whether or not they are affordable,” he said. “The Columbia County Sanctuary Movement is trying to increase access to affordable legal representation and we know that if we want gutsy movement-based immigration attorneys in this area, we have to develop them ourselves.” Three other Capital Region organizations have received recognition through the federal program, according to the U.S. Department of Justice website: Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany, Capital District Women’s Bar Association Legal Project, Inc., and the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants. All are based in Albany.

according to the Department of Justice. The Columbia County Sanctuary Movement is seeking both recognition for the organization and partial accreditation for three of its members. “We have already completed the necessary training; we are just compiling our applications,” Sanctuary Movement Executive Director Bryan MacCormack said. “There are two parts to the process — the organization first has to be recognized as a nonprofit that provides indigent legal services to immigrants. And individuals have to be accredited. We will submit our recognition paperwork at the same time we submit our accreditation documents. We hope to submit that by the end of September.

It was the most illconceived and thoughtless memorial service I’ve ever attended, and it dishonored the very men it set out to honor. Have you no shame?”

For those who bought their hunting license the old-fashioned way, at a retail store or local town hall before Wednesday of this past week, you probably went home with your license, but not a copy of the Hunting & Trapping Regulations Guide. That was due to a delay

in the printing process, but I’m happy to report that most, if not all retailers and town halls have now received their supplies of Hunting & Trapping Guides. So, if you want one and didn’t get one, now is the time to pick one up. Many sportsmen still rely on the printed version See GUIDES B8

Jets defense has a ‘Feelings Report’ to keep players from being too sensitive to criticism

J.D. Davis, the Mets’ quietest move, is making lots of noise

Manish Mehta New York Daily News

There’s no place to hide anymore. If you have thin skin, you’re likely not long for this place. Gregg Williams has hammered home one non-negotiable point during this offseason: Nobody is above criticism. So, Gang Green has posted a “Feelings Report” in the defensive meeting room, a list comprised of guys who took umbrage with getting called out in front of the class. “I think it’s great,” Adam Gase said Wednesday. “Sensitivity is out the window. He’s not afraid to say anything to anyone. I think guys are hardened to it. It’s a good thing. We all get criticized in this business. We all get picked apart. You got to have thick skin. By doing that, at least it’s holding guys accountable. There’s no sacred cows.” “We’re the same way,” Gase added with a smile about how he handles his offense. “We just do it a little different.” Williams is definitely one of a kind. His players have embraced the no-nonsense

approach. “Basically, if you get upset that someone calls you out, it’s a sensitivity fine,” Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams said. “We don’t tolerate that as a defense. We communicate. We hold each other accountable. As long as we’re

on the same page, we’ll be fine. We’ll give ourselves a chance.” The penalty for landing on the Feelings Report is relatively harmless: Push-ups most of the time. It’s a way See JETS B8

NEW YORK — When Brodie Van Wagenen took over as general manager of the New York Mets last winter it was not long before he began to make brash declarations in conjunction with audacious

Yankees-Dodgers is both a rarity and a potential World Series preview James Wagner The New York Times News Service

OAKLAND, Calif. — The Los Angeles Dodgers franchise has been around, in different forms, since 1884. The New York Yankees’ roots date to 1903. They are among the most storied and successful teams in the sport’s history, having met in the World Series 11 times. Yet because interleague play was not introduced in baseball until 1997, the Yankees and the Dodgers have faced each other in only 13 regularseason games in more than a century of coexistence. The most recent was a three-game series in 2016 when the Dodgers were on their way to another National League West title and the Yankees were headed for a fourth-place finish in the American League East. The circumstances will be much different in this weekend’s three-game series, which begins Friday in Los Angeles: The Yankees and the Dodgers have the two best records in baseball, and the matchup could be a preview of the World Series. In an everyday sport such as baseball, in which coaches and players preach keeping an even keel to cope with the rigors of the marathon season, this matchup felt deserving of the fanfare. “It’s something we’ll all look forward to,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. The teams last met in the postseason in the World Series that followed the strike-shortened 1981 season. The Dodgers won in six games, thanks to key performances from third baseman Ron Cey, outfielder Pedro Guerrero and catcher Steve Yeager. Major League Baseball and television executives, who saw ratings slip during last year’s World Series, would salivate over a Dodgers-Yankees reunion this fall. Some projections and oddsmakers, however, have the Dodgers and the Houston Astros, who aren’t far behind in terms of record, as the teams most likely to meet for the championship. That

last happened only two years ago, and the Astros won in seven games. The Dodgers returned to the World Series last year, only to lose to the Boston Red Sox in five games. The Yankees have not played in a World Series since winning their 27th title in 2009. Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge, a Northern California native, said he grew up hearing about games at Dodger Stadium from his father, and Judge visited once when he was in high school, doing a workout there. The stands were empty. “I’m excited to see it packed out with the fans going crazy,” he said Thursday. “They’ve got a

young good team like we do. I’ve been looking forward to this game for a while. They’re the best in the NL and been to the World Series two years in a row and won their division. You want to play the best teams.” This weekend, the Dodgers hold an edge over the Yankees as a more well-rounded team, the biggest disparity coming on the mound and in the trainer’s room. No team can rival the Yankees’ wounded this season: 28 players have spent time on the injured list, including 16 who remain there today. Entering Thursday, the Dodgers ranked first in

the major leagues in ERA (3.33) and fourth in runs scored (5.55 per game). The Yankees had a slightly better offense (5.88 runs per game, the best figure in baseball) but an appreciably worse pitching staff (4.52 ERA, ranked 16th). The Dodgers’ best position players are either homegrown talents or ones who have blossomed in their system after being acquired: outfielder Cody Bellinger, who is a leading candidate in the race for the National League’s Most Valuable Player Award; infielder Max Muncy; third baseman Justin Turner; outfielder Alex Verdugo; and shortstop Corey Seager. The Yankees have weathered numerous injuries in part because of the shrewd moves to acquire infielder D.J. LeMahieu, outfielder Mike Tauchman, third baseman Gio Urshela and relievers Zack Britton and Adam Ottavino. They have survived the loss of Luis Severino, who is hoping to make his season debut next month after several injuries, and the struggles of J.A. Happ, C C Sabathia and others mostly because the offense and bullpen have carried the team. The Yankees’ most glaring weakness, though, remains their starting rotation, which was ranked 19th in baseball with a 4.85 ERA entering Thursday’s game at Oakland. James Paxton, Domingo German and Sabathia are set to start against the Dodgers. By a sizable margin, the Dodgers (2.94 ERA) have the best rotation in baseball, led by three AllStars: Hyun-Jin Ryu, whose 1.94 ERA is the lowest in the major leagues; Clayton Kershaw, a threetime Cy Young Award winner; and 25-year-old right-hander Walker Buehler. The Dodgers’ bullpen, which has a comparable ERA to the Yankees’ relief corps, ranks lower in several advanced metrics, and their closer, Kenley Jansen, has sputtered more than in years past.

The Houston Astros denied a Detroit Free Press reporter access to Justin Verlander after Wednesday night’s 2-1 loss to the Tigers. An Astros spokesman told the newspaper that writer Anthony Fenech had been denied access at the pitcher’s request. Verlander refused to speak to the media with Fenech there, explaining Thursday on his Twitter feed that it was due to “unethical behavior in the past.” “I reached out to the @freep multiple times before the game to notify them why and to give them an opportunity to have someone else there. Ironically they didn’t answer,” Verlander wrote.

College football notebook: Harbaugh decries ‘cheaters’ Field Level Media

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh makes a controversial remark about how much money Southeastern Conference schools spend on recruiting in a new book about his Wolverines football program. “(It’s) hard to beat the cheaters,” Harbaugh tells author John U. Bacon in the soonto-be-released book entitled, “Overtime: Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines at the Crossroads of College Football.” Harbaugh doesn’t explain his definition of

cheating or name any specific schools or coaches, according to a review of the book posted by Forbes.com. According to a report last month by Stadium, SEC member Georgia spent $2.63 million on recruiting in 2018 – nearly double the $1.40 million spent by Michigan. Other SEC schools, including Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee, did not release their data for that report. “If you want to make Michigan great, and make yourself great, this is a great place to

be,” Harbaugh says in the book. “The (recruits) you have to oversell what we have to offer, you know it’s not going to work.” –UCF named Notre Dame transfer Brandon Wimbush as its starting quarterback. Knights coach Josh Heupel said in a statement that true freshman Dillon Gabriel will also play in the Aug. 29 season opener against Florida A&M. Wimbush, Gabriel and redshirt freshman Quadry Jones spent fall practice vying for the starting job.

–Virginia Tech senior quarterback Ryan Willis will be the starter when the Hokies open the season at Boston College on Aug. 31. Coach Justin Fuente announced his decision and named sophomore Hendon Hooker as the backup. A transfer from Kansas, Willis took over the starting gig last September after Josh Jackson sustained a broken leg against Old Dominion. Jackson later transferred to Maryland. –Mississippi State quarterback Tommy Stevens was

named as the team’s starter for next week’s season opener against Louisiana-Lafayette, the school announced. Stevens joined the Bulldogs as a graduate transfer from Penn State this offseason, a move that reunited him with coach Joe Moorhead. The latter served as Stevens’ offensive coordinator with the Nittany Lions in 2016-17. The 6-foot-5 Stevens, who graduated from Penn State in December, bested junior Keytaon Thompson for the starting job.

–Former Maryland quarterback Kasim Hill has transferred to Tennessee as a walkon. Hill will be required to sit out the 2019 season per NCAA regulations. A Washington, D.C., product, Hill was a four-star recruit and the 10th-ranked pro-style quarterback in the Class of 2017, according to the 247Sports composite. He sustained knee injuries in each of his two seasons with the Terrapins.

Wife vents her frustration after man loses his job My husband lost his job. He had worked there since we were married 10 years ago, and earned top wages because he had been with them for so long. Two years into our marriage, when we found out we were expecting our first DEAR ABBY child, we decided that I would be a stay-at-home mom. My husband has taken care of us financially ever since. I loved that I was able to rely on my husband for financial security. Since he lost his job, I am angry, frustrated and hurt. His own actions caused his dismissal. I have told him how I feel, but he just yells at me. I feel he should at least listen to how I am feeling. I’m scared for our future. We have two children under the age of 7, and we are paying child support for his oldest child, who lives with his ex. How can I show support when I am so scared and frustrated and blame him?

the fact that they are sometimes socially obtuse. They are nice people, but sometimes they have no concept of appropriate behavior. The latest was when we had a small party for my wife’s birthday. They arrived and then asked to show home movies from when she was a kid. They proceeded to show more than an hour of video in which my wife was on screen for 15 seconds and knew the other people in the movie for only the first two minutes. My in-laws do things like this regularly, and I want a nice way to say “stop.” My wife agrees with me but doesn’t know how to deal with this either. Uncomfortable In Florida

I understand your feelings, but have you considered what turmoil your husband is feeling? Having been the breadwinner for so long, he is suddenly unable to provide for the woman and children he loves. If you want to be supportive, stop demonstrating your anger, fear and frustration for a while. If you do, it may help him regain his balance sooner. And while you are at it, be prepared to make financial adjustments until he finds another job (including seeking a job for yourself). He already knows he has disappointed you. Please don’t make it harder for him than it already is.

A friend invited me to have lunch with her. I let her know it would be a little while before I arrived because I was in the middle of doing something. When I arrived, she had already finished her lunch! I thought it was incredibly rude, and I declined to eat. Am I correct? Hungry No More In Washington

Although it would make sense that the same treatment that slows existing disease might prevent it from coming on in the first place, the trials that have been done to test whether that is true were unable to show a benefit from the vitamin formulation. Only people with moderate disease showed benefit. The benefit was not huge: 11 people would need to be treated for seven years to prevent progression in one person. I suspect there is some slight benefit, but it is so small that even moderately large trials are unable to prove it.

the testosterone injections as “too dangerous to continue.” I objected then and am about to object again, since my symptoms in the past year continue to point to low testosterone, in my mind. I have low energy level, low libido and erectile dysfunction. If a person with normal testosterone takes a large amount of extra testosterone, such as athletes looking for a performance boost, there are significant risks. Scientists used to worry that a similar issue would be the case if a person with low testosterone took a replacement dose to get him into the normal range, but the fears of testosterone replacement therapy have been proven largely unjustified. Given your symptoms and your definite low level, experts would agree that you are a good candidate for long-term testosterone replacement therapy. The risks and benefits are not known with certainty, but the evidence so far suggests no serious risks and some potential benefits on heart health even beyond improvement in symptoms. I would a suggest consultation with an expert on testosterone replacement, such as a urologist.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are likely to arrive on any scene without much fanfare, but certainly in plenty of time to assess the situation, gather your strength, formulate your ideas and do everything you can to make sure that all works out in your favor. You are something of an amateur sleuth, capable of getting to the heart of a mystery by studying the people involved, assessing their actions and guessing their motives — and you almost always correct! Indeed, you have a knack for understanding people, and this will surely serve you well in your personal affairs and your professional life. Despite the fact that you love mysteries and are never happier than when you are delving into something that is little understood, when it comes to your personal relationships, you want everything to be up-front and out in the open.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 25 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s important to do things for yourself today. You can still be generous with others, but don’t leave yourself out or neglect your own needs. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — An activity that has become something of a tradition of sorts may not give you the satisfaction you expect. Subtle changes require study.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You are likely to display certain tendencies today that telegraph information to others that you do not wish to share. Use caution! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be sure to keep tabs on incoming calls, etc. You don’t want someone to worry because he or she wasn’t able to get in touch.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Everyone is willing to get on board with you and work toward a common goal — but someone may try to wrest control from you. Use caution. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You’ll want to tread lightly today, lest you telegraph your intentions and diminish your chances of success. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’ll be able to answer many questions today, but “why?” isn’t likely to be one of them. That you will simply have to accept on faith. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Reach out to someone who you think knows what you need to learn. Together you can increase each other’s knowledge and prepare for the future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A problem is ironed out today. Nobody will try to tell you what you should do, but a friend offers a warning.

it’s gone under the radar a bit. He’s very dangerous, and he showed that. Sometimes guys just need a chance, and they get hot and they get confident. Sometimes you only have one chance, and you’ve got to take advantage of it.” Davis has seized his opportunity with flair. He went into Thursday’s game against Cleveland batting .310, with 15 home runs, 10 of which had come at Citi Field. He has also hit 16 doubles. “He’s one of the most balanced young hitters I’ve seen in a long time,” said Ron Darling, the Mets’ television broadcaster and former pitcher. “You rarely see him getting out of balance on any pitch.” The consensus scouting report on Davis before this year was that he was a good hitter against left-handed pitchers but was not a terrific defensive player. Some thought he would have to settle for being a designated hitter in the American League. But that was not going to work in Houston, where the Astros’ potent lineup made it difficult for Davis to accrue the playing time he craved in order to prove himself. “It was tough over there in Houston,” he said, “just getting limited playing time and then getting called up, sitting on the bench for a while, getting opportunities here and there, but not really getting a rhythm. You can’t feel bitter about it because the lineup over there is so tough to crack. I’m grateful to Brodie for bringing me over here and giving me a chance.” On Wednesday, Davis had

his brightest moment as a professional. He went to the plate with two on and two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning and the score tied, 3-3. Davis fell behind, 0-2, against Indians’ lefthanded closer, Brad Hand, whose best pitch is his slider. Davis said he told himself to look for the slider and swing at that pitch only. If Hand happened to throw an inside fastball to strike him out looking, so be it. Instead, Davis got the slider, and it was over the plate. He ripped it into left field to score Michael Conforto with the winning run, setting off a raucous celebration. “J.D. was like, ‘You know what?’ “ Mets manager Mickey Callaway said, recalling their conversation. “‘This guy lives and dies by his slider because it’s his best pitch. So once he gets one out over the plate I’m going to hammer it.’ And he did.” Callaway lauded Davis’ preparation before each game, noting that he spends a good deal of time studying video of opposing pitchers and discussing their tendencies in meetings. Callaway said Davis is the most vocal player in the meetings and said his input makes him almost like another hitting coach. “When we traded for him we thought there would be value there because it’s tough to find playing time with that lineup in Houston,” said Omar Minaya, a special adviser for the Mets. “But our analytics department and our scouts knew he had a good bat, and he’s shown that. He’s been really important for us.”

who doesn’t tip-toe around anything. When watching the tape of practice, a mistake like refusing to give maximum effort will draw the defensive coordinator’s ire. It’s been that way everywhere Williams has been in his career. There’s no better fix to the mistake than confronting it head on in front of everyone in the room. “It’s been that way for my whole life,” Williams said. “I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. You can’t BS players. You can’t BS that. ... When you go to a new place, find the best guy there and make him do it and everybody else says,

‘Uh oh.’ Mom and Dad didn’t make you do that stuff. Mom and Dad couldn’t play either.” Players are all human, so nobody is immune to having their name on the Feelings Report. “Sometimes,” Adams said, “I’m on there.” But the larger point is to learn from mistakes rather than justify them. “All joking aside, it’s just holding each other accountable and not making excuses,” Adams said. “And not getting in your feelings ... because everyone wants to hold each other accountable. Because at the end of the day, we want to win.”

Guides From B1

of the guide. Given the age demographic of the majority of hunters, many have no online access. Even those who are online may find the printed version easier to read. I am used to finding what I’m looking for easily by manually flipping through the pages, rather than scrolling down a PDF, online version, or using apps like “Pocket Ranger.” That said; no matter how you get your information on seasons, bag limits, and legal means for taking hunted and trapped species, it’s a good idea to pay attention to changes in the regulations from year to year. This year, you can find “Highlights of Changes for 2019-2020” at the top of page 4 in the printed guide. It points out the reduction in the daily limit of mallards from 4 (including a maximum of 2 hens), to a total of 2 (with a maximum of 1 hen), due to a reported decline in their population in the Atlantic Flyway. It also talks about a reduction in the migratory Canada goose limit for much of the state from 3 to 2 per day, and a shortening of the 50-day season to 30 days. What the highlights and changes fail to mention, is a major change in the start and structure of the waterfowl season in our area. While the Northeast Waterfowl Season remains essentially unchanged, there is a major restructuring of the Southeastern Waterfowl Season, and some minor changes to the Lake Champlain Season.

Southeastern Zone, which includes all of the Hudson Valley, Capitol District, and out to eastern Cortland County, has been pushed back a full two weeks from that of last year. It had been opening simultaneously with Columbus Day Weekend, (which this year falls on October 12th), but for 2019, opens a week later on Saturday, October 19. Another big change is the duration of the first half of the Southeastern duck season. Last year, it ran just one week, from October 6th 2018, to October 14th 2018. This year it opens on October 19th 2019 and runs a full 6 weeks, closing on December 1, 2019! A similar but less drastic change takes place in the Lake Champlain Zone. Details of all the changes to the 2019 Waterfowl Season can be found on page 49 of the printed Hunting & Trapping Regulations Guide, on DECs website, www.dec.ny.gov, and other online sources. The reasoning for the later start of these duck seasons and the lengthening of their first half may be to give duck hunters more opportunities to kill mallards, which many hunters value highly in their daily limit. It’s unclear if this had anything to do with cutting the bag limit for mallards in half this year given their population decline. Many duck hunters received a random survey of their opinions on changing waterfowl seasons. Hopefully their opinions are reflected in the resultant season changes. A potential downside of a later start of the season may be for hunters who prize wood ducks for their beauty and fine table fare. Pushing the season out may have some impact on the availability of wood ducks as they migrate

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Bill Jackman spent one season at Duke, but he’ll always be part of ‘The Class That Saved Coach K’ Chip Alexander The News & Observer

The way Bill Jackman tells the story, Mike Krzyzewski had driven to Grant, Neb., to get Jackman’s signature on a national letter of intent to play basketball at Duke and needed to get out of town quickly. It was the national signing date in 1982, Jackman said, and the Duke coach had other stops to make, the Jackman house being the first at breakfast. He had the long drive to Denver, Colo., and a flight to catch, with little time to spare. Running a little late, Jackman said, Krzyzewski was speeding out of town and ... “The sheriff pulled him over,” Jackman said in a News & Observer interview Wednesday. “Coach K said, ‘Uh, oh, if this is a Nebraska fan I’ve had it.’ The sheriff said he was going like 80 in a 55. “But Coach K said he knew he was going to be OK when he saw the officer’s name tag was like “Officer Kedrowski.’ He told him he had just signed me and the officer saw his name was ‘Krzyzewski.’ The officer goes, ‘Hey, there aren’t many of us out here in this neck of the woods. Just slow it down and I’ll give you a warning.’ “ Maybe it was at that moment, on the side of the road outside Grant, Neb., that Krzyzewski, coming off an 11-17 season at Duke, needing a strong recruiting class to possibly save his job, could sense things were finally turning in his favor. All it took was a trip to Grant, Jackman signing and a sheriff with a sense of humor and Polish background. Jackman was an early commitment to Duke despite nearly everyone in the state of Nebraska wanting the 6-8 forward to go to the University of Nebraska. After his senior season, a petition with 14,000 names was presented to Jackman, pleading that stay-home case. But Jackman became the first member of what became the Duke class of 1986. He would join Johnny Dawkins, Mark Alarie, Jay Bilas, David Henderson and Weldon Williams in a recruiting class that was ranked No. 1 in 1982, a group that would win the 1986 ACC championship and take Coach K and Duke to the top of the polls, the No. 1 team in the country, going into the 1986 NCAA Tournament. ——— The ACC Network, which launched Thursday, aired on its first night the “The Class That Saved Coach K,” a documentary that focuses on Jackman’s recruiting class. Jackman was asked to be a part of the documentary, saying he was “pleasantly surprised” to be contacted while realizing it would have been understandable if he wasn’t. Jackman transferred from Duke to Nebraska

after his freshman season. There were some serious family issues at home in Grant, he explained Wednesday, and he had to go back. It had nothing to do with a lack of playing time, Duke, Durham or talk about Coach K being fired. “Some people were saying it was a sinking ship and we should leave,” Jackman said. “That’s crazy. Didn’t even listen to that.” By 1986, the Cornhuskers had an NCAA Tournament team in what would be their final year under coach Moe Iba. They opened NCAA play in Charlotte, N.C., where Jackman mostly sat as the Cornhuskers played. In a 1986 interview with the N&O after one of the NCAA games, Jackman spoke wistfully about his former teammates, about their success, about what Alarie told him when they first met at Duke in the fall of ‘82. “Mark said something like, ‘We’ve got a great four years ahead of us. Some big things are going to happen before we’re through,’ “ Jackman said. “Mark hit it on the button, didn’t he? I’m happy for the guys, I really am. I know what they’ve been through.” Duke didn’t win the 1986 national championship, losing to Louisville in the final game in Dallas. But when the university feted the 1986 team with a 20-year reunion, Jackman said he was invited back by Krzyzewski’s wife, Mickie.

Five rookies ready to make an impact in fantasy football Neil Greenberg The Washington Post

College football stars don’t always shine bright in their NFL debuts, making rookies high-risk selections in fantasy football drafts. Since 2002, the first year the league expanded to 32 teams, veterans with at least one year of pro experience outperform rookies, on average, at every position, with the biggest disparities at wide receiver and tight end, per data from TruMedia. However, there are always a few rookies that surprise you. Here are five who figure to be a big part of their team’s offense in 2019, giving them a chance to help you win that championship trophy. - David Montgomery, RB, Chicago Bears (3.09 ADP) The Bears drafted Montgomery in the third round after he rushed for more than 1,100 yards for Iowa State in both 2017 and 2018 in addition to scoring 24 total touchdowns over those two seasons as well. His 185 forced missed tackles (broken tackles plus jukes and fakes) over the past two years with the Cyclones were also the most in the 2019 draft class, per the game charters at Pro Football Focus. And lastly, PFF noted Montgomery was “the only person ever to break more than 100 tackles (both rushing in receiving) in a single season.” And he did it twice. Montgomery is expected to split time with Tarik Cohen for touches out of the backfield but the Bears’ running-backby-committee approach last year netted the No. 2 rusher on the team 170 touches, which would have ranked 20th in 2018 for most touches by a running back. Montgomery needs to show more consistency in his pass-catching abilities but the opportunity is there for him to meet or exceed expectations in 2019.

- Darrell Henderson, RB, Los Angeles Rams (8.01 ADP) Henderson leads all Division I running backs (minimum 300 carries) since 1956 in career yards per carry (8.2). His 6.2 yards per carry after contact in 2018 ranks as the best mark since 2014, the first year Pro Football Focus started tracking college players. Henderson’s 2017 campaign (5.6) is No. 2. The top running back on the Rams’ depth chart, Todd Gurley, is dealing with an arthritic knee, an injury that limited him to 43 (out of 65) snaps and 10 carries in the Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport also reported in June “that it is understood in Los Angeles that Gurley will no longer be the bell-cow back that he was over the first four seasons of his career” after suffering the knee injury, opening the door for Henderson to become fantasy relevant in his first year in the NFL. - Kyler Murray, QB, Arizona Cardinals (9.09 ADP) Since 2002, the first year the NFL expanded to 32 teams, the top fantasy football seasons among rookie quarterbacks have a common thread: an ability to score touchdowns on the ground. Cam Newton (14 rushing touchdowns in 2011), Robert Griffin III (120 carries and seven rushing touchdowns in 2012), Dak Prescott (six rushing touchdowns in 2016), Russell Wilson (94 carries and four rushing touchdowns in 2012), Andrew Luck (five rushing touchdowns) and Jameis Winston (six rushing touchdowns) all provided extra fantasy points via the running game. Same for Josh Allen (89 carries and eight rushing touchdowns) and Lamar Jackson (147 carries and five rushing touchdowns) last season. Murray produced 1,001 yards and 12 touchdowns on 140 carries in his final year

with Oklahoma. Plus, Arizona isn’t expected to be very good in 2019, giving Murray plenty of opportunities to throw the ball while his team trails on the scoreboard. NFL teams as a whole pass the ball more often when trying to make up points against an opponent. - Devin Singletary, RB, Buffalo Bills (9.11 ADP) The risk with Singletary: He is behind two aging veterans on the Bills’ depth chart, LeSean McCoy and Frank Gore. However, neither asserted himself in 2018, giving Singletary a chance to take over lead-back duties for the franchise. At Florida Atlantic University Singletary rushed for more than 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons and in 2018 he ranked second among all running backs in forced missed tackles per attempt (minimum 100 rushing attempts). - D.K. Metcalf, WR, Seattle Seahawks (10.05 ADP) Seattle’s most targeted receiver of 2018, Doug Baldwin, retired, leaving Tyler Lockett and Metcalf at the top of the depth chart. If these two split the targets the way Baldwin and Lockett did (a near 50/50 split) then Metcalf should get a decent workload (approximately 70 targets). First-year wideouts with at least 70 targets in their debut season over the past 17 years include Odell Beckham Jr., Michael Thomas, Mike Evans, Julio Jones and A.J. Green. This isn’t to say Metcalf will be an overnight superstar but the average fantasy production by this group (which includes 90 qualified receivers) is 158 fantasy points in pointper-reception, or PPR leagues, in Year 1, a mark good enough for 35th among wideouts in 2018. Metcalf’s average draft position as of Aug. 19 is 44th among wide receivers.

“We were taking pictures of us and some people were pointing at me like, ‘Is that the water boy?’ “ Jackman said Wednesday, laughing. A little tall for a water boy. And while Jackman did become a forgotten man as the years passed, as Coach K won more than 1,000 games and five national titles, he said he will always feel a part, if fleetingly, of what Krzyzewski was building at Duke and connected to a coach who was honest with recruits, being true to himself and the things he believed. “I loved my time there and he’s such a great mentor from a distance,” Jackman said of Duke and Krzyzewski. “He’s had a great influence on me over the years to just kind of raise my game, right? Don’t just settle for things. “I’ve kept an article in my Bible all these years. He said you’ve got to be very careful of letting other people define your success. Different people define success differently.” ——— Jackman said Krzyzewski first spotted him at an invitation-only B/C All-Stars basketball camp in Milledgeville, Ga., and again at a tournament in Las Vegas. In Vegas, Jackman had joined other prep players from Nebraska — including Ron Kellogg, headed to Kansas, and Kerry Trotter, who played at Marquette — in putting together a talented team.

The Duke class came together. Jackman believes he was the first to commit, before his senior season in Grant. Williams was next, he said, then Alarie and Bilas. Dawkins, the speedy if spindly guard out of Mackin High in Washington, D.C., was being pursued by Maryland coach Lefty Driesell. Jackman said Driesell, a master recruiter, had Dawkins in some swanky place overlooking College Park, Md., and asked Dawkins if he planned to play for Maryland. Dawkins’ answer, Jackman said: “I have so much respect for you I’m going to play at the place you played at.” That would be Duke, where the Ol’ Lefthander played center under coach Harold Bradley in the early 50s, and not the answer Lefty wanted to hear. One player Coach K didn’t get, Jackman said, was Joe “JoJo” Buchanan, a 6-2 guard from Seattle who went to Notre Dame instead of Duke. In 2006, Buchanan told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, “Johnny Dawkins went there because I didn’t.” When Jackman graduated from Nebraska, Danny Nee was coaching the ‘Huskers and was blunt with Jackman, an Academic All-America. “He told me I was a better student than I was an athlete, which crushed my basketball ego,” Jackman said. “He also told me don’t stay in Nebraska. He said, ‘You love the people here and you can always come back, but if you stay here people will always talk about a particular game and want to buy you a beer and you’ll be the drunk at the country club. Don’t be the drunk at the country club when you’re 45.’ “ ——— Jackman left Nebraska. He did play professional basketball overseas for a few years before getting into the finance business. Now living in Dallas and a father of three, he’s a senior vice president for UBS, a wealth management company. At 55, he says he still plays hoops and can still dunk, noting some of his past pickup games included a left-handed shooter named Tom Dundon, later to be the primary owner of the Carolina Hurricanes. Jackman said he attended the Duke-St. John’s game last season at Cameron Indoor Stadium and was able to visit with Coach K. Jackman said while being recruited by Duke he was told the staff called him Coach K but that a graduation requirement would be that a player correctly say his coach’s name and spell it. Jackman didn’t graduate from Duke. Can he spell the name? “K-R-Z-Y-Z-E-W-S-K-I,” he said without hesitation.

Giants’ Jones has another strong preseason outing

David Kohl/USA TODAY

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (8) looks to pass against the Cincinnati Bengals during the first half at Paul Brown Stadium.

Pat Leonard New York Daily News

CINCINNATI — Baker Mayfield owes Daniel Jones a congratulatory text message. Jones battled past this week’s noise to continue his strong preseason Thursday night. The Browns quarterback’s criticism of Jones thrust the Giants’ No. 6 overall pick into the national spotlight. Mayfield eventually reached out via text message to clear the air. But Jones completed 9 of 11 passes for 141 yards in threeplus drives in a 25-23 win over the Bengals and led the offense to a touchdown for the third straight game. He played three drives behind the first-string offensive line and a 24-second possession with the second string to end the first half. On the second-quarter scoring drive, Jones hit wideout Brittan Golden deep down the middle of the field for 35 yards. Cincy edge rusher Carl Lawson beat left tackle Nate

Solder and crushed Jones in the back to force a fumble, nearly snuffing out the drive. Golden recovered, though, and Jones persevered to hit fellow rookie Darius Slayton for 27 yards down to the 1-yard line on a jump ball down the left sideline. It was Slayton’s preseason debut and first catch as a Giant. Running back Rod Smith then punched in a 1-yard TD, leaving Jones’ preseason numbers looking impressive entering next week’s finale at New England: 25 of 30 passing (83.33%), 369 yards, two TDs, three fumbles, two lost, and 24 NYG offensive points scored in 10 drives (not counting Thursday’s end-of-half possession). Jones, meanwhile, also showed some fire at the end of the first half. He completed a 24-yard pass to Golden, rushed the offense upfield to spike the ball for a Hail Mary try, and did so with one second left. When the clock operator

ran it to zero anyway, Jones slapped the ball, wanting one last chance to put more points on the board. Eli Manning, meanwhile, played only one drive, completed 4 of 8 passes for 41 yards, and led the offense downfield on a drive that stalled for a 41-yard Aldrick Rosas field goal. The Giants were sloppy in the first half, though, committing seven penalties, including three by left guard Will Hernandez (face mask, false start, hold). Dexter Lawrence was among defensive starters making plays early, with a run stop and a pass batted down on the Bengals’ opening drive. However, strong safety Jabrill Peppers showed his boom or bust potential: He wrapped up running back Giovani Bernard after a catch in man-toman coverage, then was beaten by tight end C.J. Uzomah for a 26-yard touchdown pass later in the first quarter.

By J.D. BIERSDORFER New York Times News Service

top-motion animation has been around since the 1800s and still flourishes in the works of studios like Aardman Animations, the force behind “Wallace & Gromit” and other creations. With stop motion, you make an inanimate object “move” by snapping a photo and then stopping to subtly adjust the object’s position before taking the next shot. When enough photos of these gradual movements are captured, you run them together as a video that shows the object seeming to propel itself. Creating a stop-motion clip can be a great way to jazz up a presentation, dabble in moviemaking basics or keep the children busy with a time-consuming project. All you need is something to animate — paper cutouts, Lego figures or other toys, for example — along with a camera, the right app and patience. Here’s how to get rolling.

STEP 1: GET WITH THE PROGRAM To get started, decide on which app you’d like to use. If you plan on using your smartphone camera, there are many options. Stop Motion Studio Pro for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows ($2 to $10 depending on the system) is a popular option. It has a huge collection of editing features, including a tool to add facial

expressions to Lego people. A free version, Stop Motion Studio, is available for Android and iOS, but it does not offer as many audio and visual effects, or the ability to record higher-resolution video, unless you pay through in-app purchases. Alternative apps include PicPac for Android and iMotion for iOS (both free, with in-app purchases) and the child-friendly I Can Animate for Android, iOS, Mac and Windows (a free “lite” edition and pay versions starting around $3). But again, some features cost extra, like the ability to drop in a new background if you record in front of a blue or green screen. For those who prefer working on a computer, other programs, like Dragonframe for Windows, Mac and Linux (around $300 for the full version) and iKITMovie for Windows (prices start at $69), are available, each with free trial versions. Just keep in mind that with those programs, you will need to move your photos from a camera to the computer, instead of doing it all on your smartphone or tablet.

STEP 2: PLOT YOUR SHOTS Stop-motion animation takes time and effort, so you unless you’re just messing around, you might want to sketch out your scenes before you begin. If a cheap notebook and pencil seem

Using a notebook or an app, like Storyboard for iPad, shown here, to sketch out the action in advance gives you a plan to follow. Handout via The New York

too rustic, plenty of digital tools can help you visualize your future film, including storyboard and drawing apps, or even a stylus-friendly free notes app. As you plan your movie, consider some basic questions: Who are your characters, and how will they move? What is the course of the action? Do you have proper lighting and the right background for your scene? If you need inspiration, you can find the storyboards of famous films to study with a quick web search.

STEP 3: STEADY YOUR CAMERA The objects you’re animating are the only things that should be moving in your stop-motion production. Keeping the camera steady is essential. A small tabletop tripod for your camera or smartphone can cost as little as $5 online and also keeps your hands free. Depending on the app and device you’re using, you may be able to snap the shutter remotely, which minimizes the potential for accidentally knocking the camera around. A Bluetooth remote (like the $8 CamKix remote for smartphones) is one option. Gear you may already have — like an Apple Watch or the volume buttons on corded iPhone earbuds — might also trip the shutter in some apps.

STEP 4. MAKE YOUR MOVES When you have your camera, background and lighting set, start animating. Take a photo, then carefully adjust the object you’re using, and then take the next picture. For passably smooth action, you generally need to take 10 to 12 photos for each second of finished video. Some apps like Stop Motion Studio Pro include an on-screen grid for positioning and an “onion skin” layer that shows the placement between frames so you can better gauge how far to move the figure in the next shot. Keep taking photos until you have captured all the movement you need for your scene.

STEP 5: WRAP IT UP If your stop-motion app includes a suite of multimedia effects and editing functions, you can fine-tune the final version of your masterpiece right there. If your chosen app doesn’t offer such bells and whistles, export your stop-motion clips and import them into a regular video-editing tool like iMovie, Kinemaster or Microsoft’s Photos app for Windows 10. Once you’ve edited scenes, added music, titles (and most importantly, the credits), export your production and share it with friends, family and the internet. And if you had fun, start planning your sequel.

AI expert racing to stop the killer robots TOBY WALSH: Professor

believes autonomous weapons must be banned By CLAUDIA DREIFUS New York Times

Toby Walsh, a professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, is one of Australia’s leading experts on artificial intelligence. He and other experts have released a report outlining the promises, and ethical pitfalls, of the country’s embrace of AI. Recently, Walsh, 55, has been working with the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, a coalition of scientists and human rights leaders seeking to halt the development of autonomous robotic weapons. We spoke briefly at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, where he was making a presentation, and then for two hours via telephone. Below is an edited version of those conversations. You are a scientist and an inventor. How did you become an activist in the fight against ‘killer robots’? It happened incrementally, beginning around 2013. I had been doing a lot of reading about robotic weaponry. I realized how few of my artificial intelligence colleagues were thinking about the dangers of this new class of weapons. If people thought about them at all, they dismissed killer robots as something far in the future. From what I could see, the future was already here. Drone bombers were flying over the skies of Afghanistan. Though humans on the ground controlled the drones, it’s a small technical step to render them autonomous. So in 2015, at a scientific conference, I organized a debate on this new class of weaponry. Not long afterward, Max Tegmark, who runs MIT’s Future of Life Institute, asked if I’d help him circulate a letter calling for the international community to pass a preemptive ban on all autonomous robotic weapons. I signed, and at the next big AI conference, I circulated it. By the end of that meeting, we had over 5,000 signatures — including people like Elon Musk, Daniel Dennett, Steve Wozniak. What was your argument? That you can’t have machines deciding whether humans live or die. It crosses new territory. Machines don’t have our moral compass, our compassion and our emotions. Machines are not moral beings. The technical argument is that these are potentially weapons of mass destruction, and the international community has thus far banned all other weapons of mass destruction.

Toby Walsh, an expert in artificial intelligence, a professor at the University of New South Wales, is one of the organizers of Robocup, an annual world robot soccer championships in Sydney. Walsh believes that autonomous weapons, capable of acting without human oversight, are closer than we think, and must be banned. Dean Sewell/New York Times

What makes these different from previously banned weaponry is their potential to discriminate. You could say, “Only kill children,” and then add facial recognition software to the system. Moreover, if these weapons are produced, they would unbalance the world’s geopolitics. Autonomous robotic weapons would be cheap and easy to produce. Some can be made with a 3D printer, and they could easily fall into the hands of terrorists. Another thing that makes them terribly destabilizing is that with such weapons, it would be difficult to know the source of an attack. This has already happened in the current conflict in Syria. Just last year, there was a drone attack on a Russian-Syrian base, and

we don’t know who was actually behind it. Why ban a weapon before it is produced? The best time to ban such weapons is before they’re available. It’s much harder once they are falling into the wrong hands or becoming an accepted part of the military tool kit. The 1995 blinding laser treaty is perhaps the best example of a successful preemptive ban. Sadly, with almost every other weapon that has been regulated, we didn’t have the foresight to do so in advance of it being used. But with blinding lasers, we did. Two arms companies, one Chinese and one American, had announced their intention to sell blinding lasers shortly before

the ban came into place. Neither company went on to do so. Your petition — who was it addressed to? The United Nations. Whenever I go there, people seem willing to hear from us. I never in my wildest dreams expected to be sitting down with the undersecretary-general of the U.N. and briefing him about the technology. One high U.N. official told me, “We rarely get scientists speaking with one voice. So when we do, we listen.” So far, 28 member countries have indicated their support. The European Parliament has

A match is watched intently during the RoboCup world robot soccer championships July 6. Dean Sewell/New York Times

called for it. The German foreign minister has called for it. Still, 28 countries out of 200! That’s not a majority. Who opposes the treaty? The obvious candidates are the U.S., the U.K., Russia, Israel, South Korea. China has called for a preemptive ban on deployment, but not on development of the weapons. It’s worth pointing out there is going to be a huge amount of money being made by companies selling these weapons and the defenses to them. Proponents of robotic weapons argue that by limiting the number of human combatants, the machines might make warfare less deadly. I’ve heard those arguments, too. Some say that machines might be more ethical because people in warfare get frightened and do terrible things. Some supporters of the technology hope that this wouldn’t happen if we had robots fighting wars, because they can be programmed to abide by

international humanitarian law. The problem with that argument is that we don’t have any way to program for something as subtle as international humanitarian law. Now, there are some things that the military can use robotics for — clearing a minefield is an example. If a robot goes in, gets blown up, you get another robot. Since 2013, you’ve been spending as much time on your activism as you have on scientific research. Any regrets? No. This is important to be doing right now. Twenty years ago, like many of my colleagues, I felt that what we were doing in AI was so far from practice that we didn’t have to worry about moral consequences. That’s no longer true. I have a 10-year-old daughter. When she’s grown, I don’t want her to ask, “Dad, you had a platform and authority — why didn’t you try to stop this?”

How to make an icebox cake, the

coolest (literally!)

NO-BAKE DESSERT

By JESSIE SHEEHAN Washington Post

n icebox cake, for the unfamiliar, is an easy summer dessert that comes together in the chilly confines of your refrigerator. The oven plays no role in the making of an icebox cake — and that’s a good thing when temperatures are high and something cool, creamy and sweet seems like just about the perfect warm weather antidote. I love an old-fashioned icebox cake, as is evidenced by the fact that I wrote a book about them, and I’m eager to spread the word about just how marvelous these versatile desserts can be. Semifreddos and no-churn ice-cream get a lot of the no-bake-dessert attention, but a retro icebox cake is equally deserving and delicious.

In its simplest form, an icebox cake is a layered dessert of crispy cookies and fluffy whipped cream. But it is one that transforms into something truly magical and complex when placed in the fridge to firm up, as the cookies absorb the cream, softening into something downright caky and luscious. The recipe for the original icebox cake, still printed on the back of the yellow Nabisco Chocolate Wafer Cookie package, does not even require a pan for assembly: Instead, you stack cookies, nestled with dollops of whipped cream, vertically (domino-style as it were), and form a free-standing log on your serving platter. Simplicity is the name of the game when it comes to icebox cakes, both in terms of staple ingredients and preparation, and I love them for that. But I also

appreciate an icebox cake’s infinite riffability — swap graham crackers for cookies, pudding for whipped cream, add caramel or ganache, and assemble it in a variety of vessels. Thus, the following how-to tips and tricks will not only guide you in creating the easiest of these desserts but also offer suggestions for composing them playfully. THE ELEMENTS The caky layers give an icebox cake its structure and, well, cakey-ness. This element can take many forms, such as cookies, graham crackers or ladyfingers. Cookies should be thin and crispy, and are best layered with whipped cream. (Thicker cookies, such as biscotti and some shortbread, remain a bit too toothsome even after the requisite rest in the fridge.) Graham crackers and ladyfingers (either the soft or See NO-BAKE C6

Fresh summer tomatoes were made for this delicious panzanella salad By TIM CARMAN Washington Post

Summer tomato panzanella. Tom McCorkle/Washington Post

When you stroll through a farmers market during peak tomato season, you can almost feel the yearning. One table after another burns bright with the fruits of the season, nature’s true eye candy. Everything about these plump orbs invites you to take them home: their juicy colors, like prism

light swollen with nectar; their musky aromas of grass, earth and papaya; and their curvy ripeness, with skins stretched tighter than water balloons. A summer tomato is, in fact, designed for temptation. We as a species are helpless against its charms. There are many ways to surrender to this temptation. None

of them, fortunately, require a confession afterward. You can slice, salt and devour the fruit right at your kitchen counter, the weekend fling of tomato attraction. You can take a few thin wheels of tomato and press them between toasted slices of bread slathered with mayonnaise, a See SALAD C6

NOTEWORTHY PAPERBACKS

A nicotine patch

Summaries from The New York Times Book Review:

“LIFE IN THE GARDEN” By Penelope Lively. (Penguin, $16.) Novelist and essayist Lively hates the term “hobby,” preferring “consuming interest” to describe her passion for gardening. This wideranging appreciation of the role gardens have played in her own life and in novels and poetry reveals them as providers of both intellectual and emotional sustenance. Times reviewer Dominique Browning called the book “appealingly shambolic and literary.”

“THE MERE WIFE” By Maria Dahvana Headley. (MCD/Picador, $18.) This fierce modern retelling of “Beowulf,” filled with contemporary versions of the ancient epic’s monsters and heroes, pits a traumatized former soldier and her unusual son against the grasping denizens of an upscale gated community. Times reviewer Michael Upchurch praised Headley’s “stark, lacerating, insightful” prose.

for smartphone addictions Amazon’s new Kindle Oasis has a 7-inch screen and an aluminum body. In an era of smartphone addiction, a single-purpose device like an e-reader may help you unplug and focus on content that will bring you joy. Cayce Clifford/New York Times

the book is right side up. Books look fantastic on the Oasis. Like other e-readers, it uses e-ink technology, which has matured over the last decade to make text look crisper and clearer. As with other ereaders, the battery for the Oasis lasts weeks. (I haven’t had to recharge my test unit since receiving it more than a week ago.) All things considered, I recommend the cheaper Kindle Paperwhite (which I own) over the Oasis. For roughly half the price, it has most of the same benefits: weekslong battery life and an excellent screen. The lack of color adjustment isn’t a deal breaker. Rather than degrade the reading experience, the Paperwhite’s smaller screen is a benefit. It’s less cumbersome to hold and fits into most coat pockets, whereas the Oasis does not.

By BRIAN X. CHEN New York Times

What if I told you that one of the best ways to fix your smartphone-addicted brain was to buy another gadget? You didn’t read that wrong. Just bear with me: I’m talking about a much dumber gadget, one that is dedicated to being great at just one thing. It’s an e-book reader. Think about it. Now that phones are so fast and capable and social media has become inescapable, all we talk about is wanting to unplug from our tech. An e-reader can be a lowtech substitute to your high-tech addiction, similar to how smokers use e-cigarettes to cut down on nicotine. The best part? While an e-reader is still tech, you get to consume books that provide a respite from the hateful comments on social media and the stress-inducing news articles we consume on the web. To make my case for this column, I tested Amazon’s newly released Kindle Oasis for about a week. This is the Cadillac of e-readers. It has a 7-inch screen and an aluminum body, and its special feature is an adjustable light to shift the screen’s color tone from cooler in the daytime to warmer at night. It is also waterproof. For a starting price of $250, the Oasis is overkill. Its cheaper sibling, the $130 Kindle Paperwhite, which has a 6-inch screen with an integrated light for reading in the dark, is perfectly adequate for most people; the only downside is that its color tones are not adjustable. So treat the Oasis as an aspirational example for why you may want an e-book reader. Here’s more on the product and how owning an e-reader helped curtail my own phone addiction.

PROS AND CONS The Oasis is a simple and elegant product but with some downsides. For one, the device is bulkier than other Kindles. The aluminum back has a wedgeshaped grip, which Amazon said was intended to shift the center of gravity to your palm. It feels reminiscent of gripping the spine of a book. That diminishes one of the main benefits of an e-reader, which is that it’s thinner and lighter than a physical novel. On the front of the device, there are two physical buttons for page turning. The top button turns pages forward; the bottom one turns pages backward. They work well but feel superfluous: It’s just as easy to reach your thumb over to swipe the screen to flip a page.

WHY NOW? The Oasis is, overall, comfortable to hold. But over several hours of reading, the wedge got tiresome to grip, and I found myself switching between hands. Amazon’s cheaper Kindle Paperwhite, with a curved back that lacks the thick grip, is more pleasant to hold over long durations. Cayce Clifford/New York Times

The Oasis is, overall, comfortable to hold. But over several hours of reading, the wedge got tiresome to grip, and I found myself switching between hands. Amazon’s cheaper Kindle Paperwhite, with a curved back that lacks the thick grip, is more pleasant to hold over long durations. Now onto the upsides. The Oasis’ signature feature, the adjustable light, is a delight. The device has 25 LED lights — 12 white and 13 amber — to let you tweak the color tone from cool to warm manually or automatically on a timed schedule. I set the device to adjust its light automatically, and at night, the warmer color tone felt easier on my eyes. One quick aside: There’s a debate over whether the color tones of screens affect sleep. Some studies have shown that blue light emitted from screens, including smartphones and some e-book readers, can act as a stimulant, disrupting your circadian rhythms and making it harder to sleep. It’s unclear whether screens with warmer color tones help you get better sleep. As for other benefits, the Oasis works for both lefties and righties. If you’re holding the device in your right hand and rotate it 180 degrees to hold the grip with your left hand, the screen automatically reorients itself so that

About 10 years ago, Steve Jobs told The New York Times that he felt e-readers would lose against multifunction products like the iPhone. He predicted that people wouldn’t pay to have a device with such limited features. “I think the general-purpose devices will win the day,” he said. “Because I think people just probably aren’t willing to pay for a dedicated device.” Jobs’ prediction was correct. But one thing he didn’t foresee was that a decade later, public discourse around tech would center on smartphone addiction. One 2016 study found that 50% of teenagers felt addicted to smartphones, and a separate study last year showed that 60% of adults ages 18 to 34 had acknowledged smartphone overuse. Count me among those admitting they have a problem. Over the last week, I picked up my phone about 114 times a day, according to my iPhone’s Screen Time statistics. That’s pretty bad — but before I owned a Kindle, my average was about 156. I still have lots of work to do, but this is progress. I also got to test the social benefits of the Kindle Oasis in an unexpected way. This week, I came down with the flu, and when I was bedridden and alone at home, I got stuck in a feverish loop of incessantly checking Twitter and email on my phone instead of sleeping. When I realized this, I picked up the ereader and downloaded a book about dogs. Minutes later, I was out like a light. When my partner returned home, she asked, “What did you do today?” I replied that I had started reading a book about dog psychology. “Did you know dogs don’t like raincoats?” I asked.

“ADVICE FOR FUTURE CORPSES, AND THOSE WHO LOVE THEM: A Practical Perspective on Death and Dying” By Sallie Tisdale. (Gallery Books, $16.) Tisdale is a palliative care nurse as well as an author, and this unorthodox guide to the mechanics and ethics of dying offers practical advice on matters like hospice care and handling a loved one’s dead body — all that plus a generous overarching philosophy of how to live well by coming to terms with the reality of death. The Times’ Parul Sehgal called it “a wild and brilliantly deceptive book.”

“HOW TO LOVE A JAMAICAN: Stories” By Alexia Arthurs. (Ballantine, $17.) Many of the stories in this accomplished debut collection about Jamaican immigrants take place in New York City and Midwestern university towns, but Arthurs’ characters are haunted by memories of Jamaica and unfinished family business there. The thoughtful, yearning voices — women and men, younger and older — add up to a complex cultural portrait.

“UPSTATE” By James Wood. (Picador, $17.) This sensitive novel by the eminent New Yorker literary critic tells of a family that has edged into crisis as the older of two daughters falls into a debilitating depression. A trip to upstate New York to console her becomes a chance to reconsider old patterns and probe deeper questions about the quicksilver nature of emotional suffering and the eternal quest to find meaning in life’s struggles.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 25 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s important to do things for yourself today. You can still be generous with others, but don’t leave yourself out or neglect your own needs. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — An activity that has become something of a tradition of sorts may not give you the satisfaction you expect. Subtle changes require study. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may have to choose between two methods, neither of which seems to be all that efficient. Perhaps you don’t have all the information

you need. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You are likely to display certain tendencies today that telegraph information to others that you do not wish to share. Use caution! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be sure to keep tabs on incoming calls, etc. You don’t want someone to worry because he or she wasn’t able to get in touch. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — That which was so valuable to you in the past has perhaps lost its luster — but that doesn’t mean you should give it up for good. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — After you sent out a reminder today, others are likely to give you all of what you’ve asked for — and more. Make your needs clear! ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Everyone is willing to get on board with you and work toward a common goal — but someone may try to wrest control from you. Use caution. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You’ll want to tread lightly today, lest you telegraph your intentions and diminish your chances of success. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’ll be able to answer many questions today, but “why?” isn’t likely to be one of them. That you will simply have to accept on faith. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Reach out to someone who you think knows what you need to learn. Together you can increase each other’s knowledge and prepare for the future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A problem is ironed out today. Nobody will try to tell you what you should do, but a friend offers a warning.

C6 - Saturday - Sunday, August 24-25, 2019

made with dark rum and ginger beer, garnished with a slice of lime. The drink’s flavors translate beautifully when refashioned as an icebox cake. Layers of crispy ginger snaps replace the beer and are alternated with two flavors of whipped cream — dark rum and lime. The cake is assembled in a loaf pan, and once sliced, every layer is charmingly displayed. For an alcohol-free cake, use rum extract to taste in place of the rum. Recipe notes: The cake will keep loosely covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen, after it has set up in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, for up to 1 month. Defrost the cake in the refrigerator overnight before you plan to serve it. Once you cut the cake, leftovers can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated, and are best within a day.

This element can take many forms, such as cookies, graham crackers or ladyfingers. Cookies should be thin and crispy, and are best layered with whipped cream. (Thicker cookies, such as biscotti and some shortbread, remain a bit too toothsome even after the requisite rest in the fridge.) Graham crackers and ladyfingers (either the soft or crispy variety) work well with both whipped cream and pudding. If you’re feeling frisky, layer your icebox cake with chocolate graham crackers or cinnamon ones, peanut butter cookies or even ginger snaps. The creamy layers soften the caky element and provide the icebox cake with its signature “creaminess.” Whipped cream, pudding and even pastry cream will work in an icebox cake, but whipped cream is best whisked until stiff peaks form — a bit longer than you would if topping a piece of pie — as the stiffer the peak, the more stable the finished cake. When sweetening whipped cream, I tend to add about 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar to every cup of heavy cream. And if going a bit rogue, by adding zest, juice, booze, spice or fruity preserves to your cream or pudding, let your taste buds guide you. The playful element is where things really get fun. Not only can you choose from a variety of cookie flavors and infuse your cream or pudding with a little zip when assembling your icebox cake, but you can also add layers of lemon curd, salty caramel, dark chocolate ganache, fresh berries, marshmallow crème or rainbow sprinkles. THE ASSEMBLY When choosing a pan or shape for your icebox cake, the possibilities are deliciously endless, provided you remember this: Cakes made with pudding or runny add-ins such as caramel or ganache, do best in vessels with sides to contain oozing and spillage. Can you attempt a cake with ganache in a springform pan and hope for the best upon removal of the pan’s sides? Of course. But to be safe, you should assemble those kinds of cakes in your prettiest pottery or a Pyrex dish. When layering, I always begin with the creamy element, as it anchors the cake to the serving dish or platter, followed by a caky layer and then, if using, I spread or sprinkle something playful. I like to keep my layers thin — just enough of the creamy element to completely cover the caky one, with no holes or gaps between cookies or crackers (this usually requires breaking them into pieces), and vice versa. Continue to assemble in this order until you reach the top of your pan or run out of an element, finishing the cake with something creamy. To ensure your cake properly sets up, I recommend chilling it in the refrigerator, lightly covered with plastic wrap, for at least 8 hours, and preferably overnight. Cakes made with very thin cookies may be ready in less time.

Salad From C3

After it has rested, decorating your cake with sparkling sugar, crushed candy, citrus zest, chocolate curls, sprinkles or toasted nuts is a lovely way not only to finish the cake but also to add texture. FINAL NOTES TO CHILL BY DIYing: Assembling an icebox cake can be nearly effortless, but if making homemade crispy, thin cookies (or graham crackers or ladyfingers) is your thing, by all means, go for it. An icebox cake made with homemade caky layers is undoubtedly something special, as is one made with homemade pudding, caramel or jam. Seasonality: There is no question that an ice-cold icebox cake is the perfect summer entertaining dessert. I mean, parties need cake, and who wants to turn on the oven when the kitchen is already beyond toasty? It can also serve as the ideal showcase for your latest haul from the farmers market, via layers of fresh strawberries or tiny chunks of juicy black plums or nectarines. But icebox cakes are truly fantastic any time of the year — think gingerchai for Thanksgiving, peppermint-chocolate for Christmas, or Black Forest for Valentine’s Day. Making ahead and freezing: If its ease and flexibility haven’t persuaded you to join Team Icebox Cake, perhaps this will: not only do icebox cakes have to be made ahead — ideal for that barbecue next Wednesday night, the potluck this weekend and for those hosts among us (um, me) who like to have as much of the meal and all of the dessert finished before her guests’ arrival — but they freeze beautifully. Follow the tips for wrapping and refrigerating your cake, and after 24 hours, cover it in aluminum foil and freeze for up to a month. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator before serving the next day. RAINBOW SPRINKLE ICEBOX CAKE 16 servings Everyone’s favorite birthday cake gets an icebox makeover. Shortbread cookies are layered with sprinkle-studded creamcheese-and-whipped-cream

frosting and assembled in a springform pan. The cream cheese helps to cut down on the sweetness and adds a lovely tang to the cake. Once released from the pan, the entire cake can be coated in more sprinkles. A cake this festive calls for a scoop of ice cream on the side. Recipe notes: The cake will keep loosely covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen, after it has set up in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, for up to 1 month. Defrost the cake in the refrigerator overnight before you plan to serve it. Once you cut the cake, leftovers can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated, and are best within a day.

the lead role. My own summer romance with tomatoes begins and ends with panzanella, the Tuscan salad with only a few ingredients but a thousand ways to prepare them. “There is a different idea in every household about what panzanella should be, and there is nothing more Italian than that,” said Fabio Trabocchi, the Italian native and chef behind Fiola, Del Mar and other restaurants.

Several years ago, Trabocchi played the role of mentor during my pursuit of the perfect panzanella. I recently had the chance to revisit the recipe, which combined ideas and techniques from several sources, including Trabocchi and J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, the chief culinary adviser for Serious Eats. I have to admit, this one is a keeper. The recipe works, I think, because it doesn’t try to do too much. It relies on chopped heirloom tomatoes, toasted sourdough bread and a light, slightly pungent “vinaigrette” built from juices drained from the star ingredient. It’s

Nonstick cooking spray or softened butter, for the pan 1 1/2 cups cream cheese, at room temperature 3 cups heavy cream 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups rainbow sprinkles, plus more for decorating (optional) 80 thin shortbread cookies, preferably Lorna Doone Grease the sides of a round 9-inch springform pan that is 3 inches deep with cooking spray or softened butter. Line the sides with a strip of parchment. Add the cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed, about 3 minutes, until smooth. Add the heavy cream, increase the speed to medium-high and continue to whisk until incorporated. Add the sugar and vanilla, and whisk the mixture, about 3 to 5 minutes, until it holds stiff peaks that stand upright when the whisk is raised. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the rainbow sprinkles and mix just to incorporate. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream (about 1¾ cups) on the bottom of the pan and cover with a layer of cookies, filling any gaps with broken cookies (breaking them yourself, if necessary.) The pieces should touch; the goal is a solid layer of cookies. Continue

3 cups heavy cream 1/2 cup granulated sugar 4 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 tablespoons dark rum 2 to 3 tablespoons finely grated lime zest, plus more for decorating 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or more as needed About 56 gingersnaps, preferably Stauffer’s, or other crisp ginger cookie

layering until you reach the top of the pan, ending with a layer of cream. Cover the top of the cake with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight. To serve, remove the sides of the pan and peel away the parchment strip. Place on a serving plate and lightly press sprinkles onto the top and sides of the cake, if desired. Slice as you would a layer cake and serve. PEACH MELBA ICEBOX CAKE 12 servings Peach melba (poached peaches drizzled with raspberry sauce and served with scoops of vanilla ice cream) is what summer icebox cake dreams are made of — seasonal and perfect to fight the sweltering heat. Here, peach jam is folded into almond-flavored whipped cream, which is studded with chunks of ripe peaches. The cream is layered with fresh raspberries and thin, crispy almond wafers, then topped with a toasted almond slices for flavor and texture. Peaches are lovely when paired with almond extract, but feel free to flavor your cream with vanilla extract instead, and to substitute a different flavored cookie for the almond ones. In place of nuts, garnish the cake with crushed cookies. The author prefers Bonne Maman peach jam. You may want to add more jam, depending on the sweetness of your peaches. Recipe notes: The cake will keep loosely covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen, after it has set up in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, for up to 1 month. Defrost the cake in the refrigerator overnight before you plan to serve it. Once you cut the cake, leftovers can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated, and are best within a day. Ultrathin Anna’s Swedish Thins are available in grocery stores nationwide. If using a different brand of crispy almond cookies, keep in mind that you

will need the same number of cookies, but they will weigh more. Toast the almonds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned, shaking the pan to avoid scorching. Cool completely before using.

Add the cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium to medium-high speed, 2 to 3 minutes, until the cream begins to thicken. Add the jam, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract, to taste, and continue to whisk on medium to medium-high speed for about 3 more minutes, until stiff peaks form. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the peaches into the cream. Use a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread a layer of cream, about 1½ cups, on the bottom of an 8-inch square pan. Cover the cream with a layer of raspberries and then a layer of almond cookies, filling any gaps with broken cookies (breaking them yourself, if necessary). The pieces should touch; the goal is a solid layer of cookies. Continue with additional layers of whipped cream, raspberries and cookies, ending with a layer of whipped cream. Gently cover the pan with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the cake for 6 to 8 hours, or preferably overnight. Peel off the plastic wrap. Garnish the top of the cake with the toasted almonds. Cut the cake into slices while in the pan and serve. DARK AND STORMY ICEBOX CAKE 12 servings A dark and stormy cocktail is

Line a 9-by-5-by-2-inch loaf pan with a large sheet or two of plastic wrap so the wrap overhangs the pan on all sides. Put the cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium to medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cream begins to thicken. Add the sugar and vanilla and whisk about 3 more minutes, until stiff peaks form. Transfer half of the cream to a small mixing bowl. Add the rum to the cream still in the stand mixer bowl and whisk on mediumhigh speed about 30 seconds, or until combined. By hand, gently whisk the lime juice and zest (to taste) into the remaining whipped cream. Use a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread a layer of rum cream, about 1 cup, on the bottom of the pan. Cover as much of the cream as possible with a layer of gingersnaps, filling any gaps with broken snaps (breaking them yourself, if necessary). The pieces should touch; the goal is a solid layer of cookies. Add a layer of the lime whipped cream, about 1 cup, and cover with another solid layer of snaps. Continue layering, alternating flavors of whipped cream and cookies until you run out, ending with a layer of lime-whipped cream that rises slightly above the edge of the pan. Cover the cake with the overhang of plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, or preferably overnight. Invert the cake onto a serving platter. Lift the pan off and peel away the plastic wrap. Sprinkle the top of the cake with additional lime zest. When ready to serve, slice the cake with a long serrated knife and garnish with additional lime zest grated on top.

a tomato salad drizzled with a tomato dressing, an endless loop of the summer’s most desirable flavor. SUMMER TOMATO PANZANELLA 6 servings This Tuscan dish should be prepared only in summer, when field tomatoes are at their peak. Look for a variety of ripe heirloom varieties to give your salad color and contrasting flavors. Some like to include more bread in their panzanella, treating the torn pieces like pasta. But this version favors the seasonal fruits, making sure their flavors are front and center in both the salad and the simple vinaigrette. You can also garnish the salad with other herbs, such as mint and marjoram, but go easy on them: They can quickly overwhelm the dish. Make Ahead: The salted tomatoes need to rest for 20 minutes. 3 cups packed, torn pieces sourdough bread,

including crusts 1/4 cup olive oil 2 1/4 pounds ripe heirloom tomatoes, hulled and cut into bite-size wedges 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, plus more as needed 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced shallot 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar Freshly cracked black pepper 10 fresh basil leaves, stacked, rolled and cut into very thin slices Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the bread pieces on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle them with half of the oil. Toss to coat. Bake for 15 minutes, until the bread is dried and fragrant but not browned. Let cool. Place the chopped tomatoes in a colander set over a mixing bowl. Sprinkle the tomatoes with the teaspoon of salt; let them drain for about 20 minutes, gently tossing them every few minutes. Transfer the tomatoes to a serving bowl along with the cooled bread pieces. Toss

to incorporate. Reserve the tomato juices in their bowl; there should be at least a halfcup. Add the garlic, shallot and vinegar to the tomato juices, then gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to form a vinaigrette. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Pour over the tomatobread mixture, just enough to wet the pieces but not soak them. (You may not use all the vinaigrette, but make sure to transfer the minced garlic and shallot, which can collect at the bottom of the bowl.) Use your clean hands to gently toss and coat the tomatoes and bread. Scatter the basil over the salad and serve right away.
