Closed lot spurs parking dispute

By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Some village residents are contesting parking tickets received on Tuesday because one of the main municipal lots was closed.

The fines from the parking tickets will be forgiven, village

officials said Wednesday.

The village Department of Public Works made an announcement July 6 that the lot would be closed from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday so crews could paint new stripes and remove trash and brush.

Because of the shortage

of off-street parking caused by the lot closure, many residents, business owners and employees had to park on Main Street.

Main Street has metered parking Monday through Friday during the hours of 9 a.m.

After public complaints of a lack of transparency regarding parking regulations, the village has posted the times and days that the metered parking is enforced.

Protest signs are held up during a ticker-tape parade celebrating the U.S. women’s national soccer team’s World Cup victory in lower Manhattan on Wednesday morning. The team led the charge in obtaining equal pay for equal work in their sport.

The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team marched down the Canyon of Heroes in New York City on Wednesday morning, and with them came a new state law expanding the requirement of equal pay for equal work.

Prior to the start of the parade celebrating the team’s World Cup victory, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law legislation that expands equal pay laws to prohibit unequal pay on the basis of a protected class, as long as similar work is performed.

As OD fatalities rise, response plan widens

By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Columbia-Greene Addiction Coalition presented its new website to help those struggling with addiction in the Twin Counties to the Greene County Legislature on Monday.

The coalition is wrapping up the first year of its two-year pilot program with the two counties. Each county contributes $39,000 per year to improve recovery services in the SARAH TRAFTON/COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA region. The program is also funded Columbia-Greene Addiction and Recovery Coordinator Danielle Hotaling presented by the Healthcare Consortium and the Columbia-Greene Addiction Coalition’s new website to the Greene County was developed with the help of Twin Legislature on Monday.

County Recovery Services.

“This new website is the culmithat provides the community with a our combined efforts to combat the nation of a year’s research and work greater understanding of the crisis and causes,” Greene County Administrator

Shaun Groden said in a statement on Tuesday. “I encourage all community members to review the data and understand the resources that are available.”

Columbia County Board of Supervisors Chairman Matt Murell agreed that the website is a move in the right direction.

“This website represents an important step in the ongoing implementation of our Opioid Epidemic Response Plan and an important service to our residents,” Murrell said in a statement Tuesday. “Columbia and Greene counties are maximizing their efforts by collectively tackling the opioid epidemic.”

Weather FORECAST FOR HUDSON/CATSKILL

TODAY TONIGHT

FRI

SAT

SUN

MON

Waterfront cities faces a ‘floodier future,’ spurred by rising seas Brian K. Sullivan

NOAA oceanographer and the report’s lead author. High-tide flooding, also called “sunny day flooding,” occurs even without storms, largely driven

by rising ocean levels, he said.

“The New York City region, which had about 12 days of high-tide flooding in 2018, will experience somewhere

between 55 to 135 days” on average in 2050, Sweet said on a conference call with reporters. “The current trajectory suggests, let’s say, a floodier future.”

About two-thirds of sea level rise is caused by land-based ice melting away, and the rest from rising oceans expanding as they get warmer, according to the report. “Flooding that decades ago usually happened only during a powerful or localized storm can now happen when a steady breeze or a change in coastal current overlaps with a high tide,” it read.

The number of high-tide flooding days has doubled since 2000, according to the agency. “The future is already here in terms of sea level rise impacts,” Sweet said.

The village responded by ordering labels for all of its meters, Village President Vincent Seeley said. “[They] all should be tagged today,” he said. “Maybe a few left for tomorrow.”

The village maintains approximately 150 parking meters and the labels cost about $1 each, Seeley said.

The 20 or so tickets that were given out for going over

the two-hour limit on Tuesday will be forgiven, Seeley said.

The typical fine for a parking violation is $10, he added.

On a day-to-day basis, the limit is designed to keep traffic flowing, Seeley said.

Village Department of Public Works Superintendent Michael McGrath said the work at the parking lot was necessary.

“We had a lot of brush and

garbage to clear,” he said. “We didn’t want to damage someone’s car.”

Additionally, there were other off-street parking options available, he said.

“People could have parked in the lot over by the dance institute but no wants to hear that,” McGrath said.

The municipal lot that closed has room for 90 vehicles, Seeley said.

ODMAP, to log overdoses geographically, Hotaling said.

“This allows us to discover where spikes occur and develop a response plan,” she said.

So far this year, Greene County has had about twice as many overdoses as Columbia County, Hotaling said.

“We have had 30 suspected overdoses in Greene County in 2019 and 16 in Columbia County,” she said.

Lawmakers questioned what Hotaling meant by “suspected.”

Twin County Recovery Services Executive Director Beth Schuster Services said confirmation of cause of death can take time.

“Hearing from the coroners can be months or over a year,” she said.

Additionally, the most

recent data from the state Department of Health on overdoses are from 2016, Hotaling said.

Hotaling brought the Legislature on a virtual tour of the website, page by page.

The site provides information for families such as warning signs to look for and resources for those struggling with addiction including rehab facilities and tips to reduce harm while using.

“We recognize that not everyone is at a place where they are ready to recover,” Hotaling said. “These tips can help save someone’s life and hopefully get them to the point where they are ready to take that step.”

The website also includes a calendar of local events and a map of resources in the area,

as well as a glossary of terms.

The site was well-received.

“This website is the most profound thing to see come out of this project,” Groden said. “Before there was no way for people to get good, hard data and definitions. That product alone is a home run.”

Groden expressed interest in tracking analytics on the website.

Future projects for the coalition include setting up a school task force and becoming more engaged with local communities, Hotaling said.

“The needs of Catskill and the mountaintop are very different,” she said. “I acknowledge that and I’d like to work with you on that.”

The second bill, which prohibits employers from asking about prior salary at previous jobs, has a similar goal.

“We are also signing a bill that says you cannot ask an employee or potential employee for their history, salary history, meaning you can’t take a past injustice and use [it] to justify a present injustice,” Cuomo said.

The U.S. Women’s Soccer Team led the charge with its quest to receive pay equal to that of the U.S. Men’s Soccer Team, which was defeated in World Cup competition. The women’s team won the World Cup after shutting out the Netherlands 2-0 on Sunday in the final in Lyon, France.

Cuomo used their tickertape parade in Manhattan on Wednesday as the stage to sign the legislation.

“There is no rationale why the women should not get paid what men get paid. FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) and the U.S. Soccer Conference have done this team a disservice and an injustice,” Cuomo said.

“You cannot explain on the economics, on the marketing, why the women’s soccer players get paid less than men’s soccer players, period. Not

only are they wrong — it is immoral. It is unethical.”

Jeffrey Hunt, president and CEO of the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, said he does not foresee the new law having a significant effect on the local business economy.

“I do not see this law having much of an impact because many of our businesses already pay a competitive wage and many of the governmental agencies are already compliant,” Hunt said.

Friedman also said the new legislation should not have a substantial impact in Greene County.

“I don’t know if it will have a tremendous impact locally because I don’t hear there is a lot of that kind of bias, generally. It may exist somewhere, but I don’t think it will have a big impact in Greene County.

Women professionals and, especially, women-owned

business — that is a growing segment of the Greene County economy and we have been very supportive of that.”

Both new laws are part of the 2019 Women’s Justice Agenda, which Cuomo announced earlier this year.

The New York Times News Service contributed to this report.

Buying a house on the water? By the time your 30-year mortgage expires, you could be facing between 25 and 135 days of high-tide flooding, depending on where you live.

That’s the message from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in a report that says rising seas spurred by climate change will put waterfront U.S. cities at risk for 25 to 75 days of high-tide flooding by 2050.

There were 10 days last year on average in the Northeast, with the city of Washington having 22 days, the study released Wednesday said.

Some regions, meanwhile, will see even greater increases, according to William Sweet, a

With the lack of posted regulations exacerbating the situation, residents protested the two-hour parking limit, which they found hard to abide by while working on Tuesday.

Addiction From A1

Columbia-Greene Addiction and Recovery Coordinator Danielle Hotaling presented updated statistics to the Legislature Monday.

“Since 2010, mortalities from opioid overdoses in Greene County have increased from 8.1 per 100,000 to 23.1 per 100,000 in 2017,” Hotaling said. “That is a significant increase.”

In 2016, the number of emergency visits for overdoses caused by heroin was 78.5 per 100,000, Hotaling said.

A separate bill signed by Cuomo prohibits employers from asking prospective employees about their salary history.

“It is now the law of the land,” Cuomo said after signing the equal pay bill. “It changes the old law, which had a loophole which employers could use to say it was not equal work, it was similar work. And if there was any difference, the law did not apply.

This now changes the law to say comparable work.”

If two employees perform “basically the same work,” then their pay has to be equal, Cuomo said.

Jeff Friedman, president and executive director of the Greene County Chamber of Commerce, said equal pay for equal work is the fair thing to do.

“Equal pay, regardless of gender, as long as the same job is being done — that is a given,” Friedman said. “That is something the chamber feels the business community should embrace.”

OUR VIEW

Another black eye for Greene County government There is one thing about government we can all probably agree on, and that is the more government tries to keep a secret in, the more the secret wants to get out.

Greene County officials now want to know who turned the former sheriff’s office on Bridge Street in Catskill into an auction market without authorization.

As a matter of fact, so do we.

The details are almost too comical to relate.

An astute Catskill bed-and-breakfast owner named Pat Ruck spoke to legislators at a county committee meeting Tuesday about seeing pieces of the sheriff’s office being sold off on an online auction website.

A couple staying at Ruck’s Airbnb told her they won an auction and they’re building a house and want to put in “wonderful features.” The guests told Ruck their winning bid was $700.

“They spent two days in the building, taking doors off,” Ruck said. “The building” turned out to be the old sheriff’s office.

Ruck’s guests arrived in a compact car, so they stacked the doors and were planning to come back for them.

“They were going to come back with a flatbed to take the staircase out,” Ruck said.

“And they said they were going to need helpers to take all they bid on.”

Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said Tuesday that attempts to get in the building and remove molding showed something had to be done.

“So we shut it down,” Groden said.

Groden is uncertain who was in charge of the unauthorized posting of items on the auction website, and attempts are underway to retrieve the items. He also said he doesn’t know who has the keys to the nowclosed county jail.

This isn’t just about a fire sale that was not supposed to happen. It isn’t about an unpopular jail that few want to see built. It’s about a county government where the right hand doesn’t seem to know what the left hand is doing. It’s about the abuse of trust voters place in their elected officials.

When will the Greene County government get its act together and stop standing in the way of logic and doing what is right by their constituents?

ANOTHER VIEW

We need answers on the Border Patrol (c) 2019,The Washington Post

The crush of migrants that overwhelmed U.S. border facilities in the spring, producing appalling conditions for migrant children at Customs and Border Protection stations, has eased with summer’s arrival as scorching temperatures and deterrent measures adopted by Mexican authorities drove down border-crossing arrests by nearly a third between May and June. Together with the $4.6 billion in supplemental funding enacted by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump, that is taking pressure off the government’s capacity to manage the flow of migrants, especially the families and minors that have transformed the immigration landscape.

What will remain, however, are urgent questions about the Border Patrol, and the degree to which the agency’s failings of culture exacerbated a shocking humanitarian crisis on the southwest frontier. If crisis exposes character, then the agency manning the frontlines of America’s border with Mexico needs to take a hard look at its own shortcomings - not only of resources but also of professionalism.

Without doubt, thousands of Border Patrol agents have struggled to contend with the biggest spike in migrant border-crossing in more than a decade, and many went the extra mile - playing with children in their care and displaying a hundred other kindnesses.

Much of the apparently inhumane treatment of some migrants was reported by Border Patrol agents themselves to watchdog groups and higher-ups in the agency. Homeland Security officials have added additional medical personnel and opened new facilities to accommodate minors.

Still, the accounts of visitors to the Border

Patrol’s station at Clint, in far west Texas, and reporting on the same facility by the New York Times, strongly suggest that Border Patrol officials failed to respond to warnings of filthy, unhygienic and dangerous conditions for unaccompanied minors there. True, it was a shortage of bed space that produced a bottleneck in which hundreds of migrant children were stuck in facilities such as the one in Clint, originally built to hold adults.

But the fact that those children, some of them infested with lice, were forced to endure weeks at the station without clean clothing, soap, toothpaste and other basic necessities even as the Border Patrol sector chief for that region, Aaron Hull, insisted that the agency had maintained humane conditions - is a sign of institutional indifference and callousness.

That impression is reinforced by reports of private Facebook group pages linked to current and former CBP agents that feature obnoxious, sneering and obscene references to undocumented migrants and Hispanic members of Congress. Border Patrol and Homeland Security officials insist the pages and commentary are unacceptable and unrepresentative; they have ordered investigations and taken disciplinary action against some personnel.

It’s anyone’s guess how deeply infected the Border Patrol has become by the toxic attitudes reflected in those Facebook groups.

What’s worrying is that the intolerance and contempt for migrants afoot within the agency have only been encouraged by Trump, whose constant disparagement of migrants is a hallmark of his rhetoric. Little wonder it has found echoes in the far bureaucratic reaches of his administration.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘The more you meditate on the laws of Moses, the more striking and brighter does their wisdom appear.’

A story of national equilibrium lost and restored “Time has upset many fighting faiths.”

— Oliver Wendell Holmes, dissenting, Abrams v. United States (1919) WASHINGTON — In this moment of dueling political hysterias (“The fascists are at the gates!” “The socialists are within the gates!”), it is reassuring to remember that America has quickly recovered from some previous plunges into overheated anxiety. David Maraniss understands this.

He is a Washington Post editor, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, a best-selling biographer (of Vince Lombardi, Roberto Clemente, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama) and author of books on the 1960 Summer Olympics, late-1960s turmoil (“They Marched into Sunlight: War and Peace, Vietnam and America, October 1967”) and contemporary Detroit. Now, in “A Good American Family,” he has tackled his most difficult subject: his parents. They were communists.

Being a communist was never not foolish, and was always reprehensible, especially after the broad outlines of Stalin’s terror (including the engineered famine in Ukraine) in the 1930s were known, or knowable. And after American communists proved themselves to be plastic people, following Moscow’s zigzagging line before and after the German-Soviet “nonaggression” pact of Aug. 23, 1939, and then the Soviet invasion of Finland. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, however, Elliott and Mary Maraniss paid more dearly than they should have for affiliating, from a safe distance, with the most murderous of all the 20th century’s fighting faiths.

In the postwar years, some congressmen became crusaders, wielding the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). There are such activities, but it is not Congress’ job to ferret them

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL out. And some crusaders were conspicuously unqualified to judge others’ fidelity to American ideals. They included vociferous racists, one chairman who would go to prison for embezzlement, and one who had been present at the 1915 Georgia lynching of Leo Frank, a Jew who had moved to Atlanta from Brooklyn and who almost certainly was innocent of the murder for which he was convicted.

Elliott had been a “red diaper baby”: His father was a “Wobbly” (a member of the radical Industrial Workers of the World). Elliott grew up in Brooklyn, where he was a Boy Scout and where socialists were run-of-the-mill moderates. Then he (like another Brooklyn boy from Abraham Lincoln High School, the future playwright Arthur Miller) went to the University of Michigan. There he met David’s mother, 17 and already a communist, at an event welcoming two Michigan graduates home from fighting fascists in the Spanish Civil War, including Mary’s older brother.

David writes that his father, a fledgling journalist writing for the campus newspaper, had to have seen stories about the Moscow show trials. Decades later, Elliott would say he had been “stubborn in my ignorance and aggressive in my prejudices.” Yet he enlisted one week after Pearl Harbor, and volunteered to command an African American unit in the segregated Army.

“He was,” his son writes, “a patriot in his own way.”

— Alger Hiss, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, and others — gave important aid and comfort to communism. The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) did not. It first ran a presidential candidate in 1924, when he won 36,386 votes, 0.1% of the popular vote. It last ran a candidate in 1984, when he received 161 fewer votes than the 1924 candidate.

But when in 1952 HUAC came to Detroit, which then was the epicenter of the labor movement, to expose and shame communists, its star witness was a gray-haired, 49-year-old grandmother and FBI informant who named Elliott as member of the CPUSA. Elliott, then with the Detroit Times, was immediately fired and launched into years of wandering with his family, seeking work. He caught on with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, but was fired in 1954 when the paper learned of his HUAC appearance. David writes, “The FBI made it clear that its agents would follow him wherever he went and whenever he applied for a job.”

Soon, however, the national fever broke, he found employment with the Madison, Wisc., Capital Times, and he died at 86 in 2004 “a permanent Midwesterner.” Elliott’s son writes of him, “I can appreciate his motivations, but I am confounded by his reasoning.”

This was, David Maraniss says, “a book I had to write.”

His professional ethic is to “follow the truth wherever it takes you and I knew this would take me to places that were uncomfortable.” His readers will admire his emotional equilibrium, and can take comfort from this story of national equilibrium lost and restored.

Following Fourth of July celebration, DC’s emergency fund depleted

By Chris Marquette CQ-Roll Call (TNS)

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s Fourth of July celebration has contributed to the depletion of Washington, D.C.’s fund that covers the impact of the federal government’s presence on the District’s public safety needs, according to Mayor Muriel Bowser.

In Bowser’s July 9 letter to Trump, obtained by The Washington Post, she writes that the accrued amount for this year’s Independence Day festivities totals approximately $1.7 million and that she expects the Emergency Planning and Security Fund will be empty before the end of the fiscal year, leaving overages of $6 million. Bowser says that this is attributed to declining reserves, increased demand for heightened security and a $7.3 million expenditure to cover Trump’s 2017 inauguration that, in a departure from tradition, has not been reimbursed by the executive.

“It is critical that the EPSF is fully reimbursed for these funds to ensure the District can uphold proper security and support during the remainder of the fiscal year without incurring a deficit for federal activities,” Bowser said in the letter.

“As we continue to gather estimates for the next Inauguration, we ask for your help with ensuring the residents of the District of Columbia are not

asked to cover millions of dollars of federal expenses and are able to maintain our high standards of protection for federal events.”

Trump’s “Salute to America” was the source of controversy as critics took issue with the possible politicization of the holiday and his use of military equipment during his speech at the Lincoln Memorial, an event that required extra security due to his presence.

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., and Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., have written their colleagues on the Appropriations committees to inject the District’s Emergency Planning and Security Fund with the funds necessary to provide sufficient support without having to dip into local funds.

The House has passed its version of the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill that would give the district’s emergency planning fund $16 million, an increase of $4 million over the previous fiscal year. Norton and Van Hollen asked for $6 million in supplemental fiscal year 2019 funds.

Actor Rip Torn, of ‘Men in Black,’ ‘Larry Sanders Show’ fame, dead at 88

By Dennis McLellan Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Rip Torn, the maverick actor who received a late-in-life career boost — and won an Emmy Award — playing the caustic talk-show producer on Garry Shandling’s 1990s hit HBO comedy series “The Larry Sanders Show,” has died, according to the Associated Press. He was 88.

Torn’s off-screen drinking and latter-day alcohol-related arrests began to overshadow his accomplishments as an actor.

Texas-born and Actors Studio-trained, Torn was a “slender, dark, intense young actor” — as the Los Angeles Times’ former TV columnist, Cecil Smith, described him _ when he surfaced in the late 1950s on TV dramatic showcases such as “Playhouse 90,” in films and on Broadway.

He received a Tony Award nomination for best featured actor in a play for his role as Tom Junior in the original 1959 Broadway production of Tennessee Williams’ “Sweet Bird of Youth,” with Paul Newman and Torn’s future wife, Geraldine Page, in the leads.

Torn, who reprised his role in the 1962 movie version, appeared in more than 90 films, including “King of Kings,” “The Cincinnati Kid,” “Pay Day,” “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” “Defending Your Life,” “Men in Black,” “Dodgeball” and “Marie Antoinette.” He also provided the voice of Zeus in Disney’s animated “Hercules.”

Torn’s role as Marsh Turner, a 1920s backwoods Florida family man, in the 1983 film “Cross Creek” earned him an Academy Award nomination for best actor in a supporting role.

On television, he played President Richard M. Nixon in the 1979 miniseries “Blind Ambition” and Ulysses S. Grant in the 1982 miniseries “The Blue and the Gray.” And in 1985, he received an Emmy nomination for his role as the prosecutor in the miniseries “The Atlanta Child Murders.”

His performance as an after-life defense lawyer in Albert Brooks’ 1991 film comedy “Defending Your Life” led Shandling to cast him as the TV producer in “The Larry Sanders Show,” which ran on HBO from 1992 to 1998.

Torn’s Arthur character has been described as flinty, crafty, intense, tough-as-nails, cajoling, fiercely protective, fiercely loyal and slightly mad.

“The saving grace is

(ASTERISK)Arthur) loves talent, particularly his star,” Torn told The Chicago Tribune in 1997.

“Garry once said, ‘How do you see this role?’ I said, ‘As Larry’s pit bull.’ He said, ‘Ahhh, I don’t think I like that at all.’ I said, ‘OK, I’ll be your wolverine!’ He didn’t know what that meant. That’s even worse than a pit bull!”

Torn said he had to play Arthur with that mentality because “in showbiz, producers legendarily have to be not only two-faced, but 10- or 12-faced people to get things done. And (they are) going to tell anybody what is needed to get the job done.”

The role earned him six consecutive Emmy nominations for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series, and he took home the Emmy in 1996.

One role Torn famously did not play was George Hanson, the alcoholic ACLU lawyer in director Dennis Hopper’s 1969 counter-culture classic “Easy Rider.”

Torn was set to play the part that launched Jack Nicholson to stardom.

But, Torn told Playboy magazine in 1993, he was told he’d be working for minimum, about $400 a week at the time. Because he had a tax lien against

his bank account for $3,500, he said, “I asked them for $3,500 for six weeks’ work and never heard from them.”

Torn’s reputation wasn’t helped by a notorious scene in the Norman Mailer-directed, improvisational 1970 film “Maidstone,” in which Mailer plays a movie director who is being considered as a presidential candidate: Torn improvised an attack on Mailer with a hammer to his head. In the ensuing scuffle, Mailer bit Torn’s ear.

When the attack happened, Mailer later said, he couldn’t tell whether Torn was serious or only acting.

A heavy drinker, Torn had a few arrests for drunken driving in his later years.

But he wasn’t driving when he had his most notorious encounter with the law. In January 2010, Connecticut State Police found a highly intoxicated Torn inside a closed bank in Salisbury, where he had a home.

Torn, who had a loaded gun in his pocket, had broken a rear window to enter the bank, which resembles a house.

(He reportedly told police he thought he was home.) After spending the weekend in jail, he was released on $100,000 bail and entered an alcohol

Stop and smell the roses ... and eat an ice cream When it rains, it pours! Remember hearing that expression when you were growing up?

We always think of the girl on the salt box with her umbrella, but this week the expression lived up to its reputation. No matter what went wrong, it went wrong in triplicate. I feared calling anyone as I didn’t want to hear any more bad news. Nothing very serious, only annoying incidents — flat tires, someone backed into the vestibule of the Jewett Post Office (after someone also backed into the flag pole the week before). You know the stories; let’s hope this week brings better tidings.

Did you have a great Fourth of July? I had a very successful day — sold completely out of my pies. Had many old friends stop by to say “Hello.”

It didn’t seem as crowded as in the past, but who was out had cash in hand, and were buying. Maybe the smaller crowd encouraged people to stop and look, rather than feel they were blocking foot traffic. Thanks to all who stopped by. Did you see Sparky and his plane, a replica of the one he flew in the war?

The bigger the boys, the bigger the toys. Yes, the winner of the commercial trophy was Absolute Towing for its display of tow trucks. The size of them was unbelievable. Such a difference from the trucks of my past, with a winch and hook on the end. The fire departments outdid themselves with their polished rigs. I think I liked that the companies were interspersed rather than each unit by themselves. It shows there is a working relationship between the local fire departments, and if you need help, they will all be willing to band together to help.

It was great to see a Cub Scout unit in the parade.

Scouts are a basic in teaching both boys and girls how to survive. We have a tendency to classify scouts as goodytwo shoes, when they are being taught how to do things on their own, and to survive in the world, along with reverence to

ASHLAND SPEAKS

LULA

ANDERSON God, country and family.

Wally Thompson (Fred, to some), would like to say “thank you” to all who attended or sent cards for Maria’s memorial service. About 100 came to the home of Glen and Margarete for the service.

Wally was very happy, as he spent the day with family. He is not able to write to everyone and personally thank them for their love and concern, so he asked me to convey the message to all.

Don’t forget to go to the Big Sale in Ashland, starting this Friday. We have many special items: furniture, dishes, little girls’ clothing, handbags, Christmas items, gift items.

Please drop in, look for the blowup Christmas ornaments on the Ashland Church lawn to guide you. As I unearth many treasures on my front porch, I am bringing them down to sell. Every day I add more to the inventory. Come help me out, I need to get back to my porch, and I’m sure you will find something that you absolutely love. The sale will be both outside and in, so come visit. Ashland Community Church, Route 23, Ashland.

AS I REMEMBER IT While sitting at my craft table over the Fourth of July, a couple came by asking direction to an ice cream store.

They weren’t looking for an ice cream as much as they were looking for a place to sit down and be cool. I thought, and realized there was no such place to go anymore, which got me thinking about the old-fashioned drug store that always had a soda fountain. In Windham, it was Avery’s, where Prime Steak House in now located. Hensonville had Dunham’s, Harry Schuman (and his sister, Clara, whom we all knew as WAJ’s kindergarten teacher) had the apothecary and fountain in Hunter. And Ethel Sutton had a parlor in Prattsville.

Each establishment had a counter where the “soda jerk” would dip into the freezer and concoct the most wonderful ice cream creations. A banana split, an egg cream (with no eggs), a malted. You didn’t have to sit at the counter but could relax at a table with your friends; usually a small round table with two to four chairs, where you could sit back and enjoy your cold treat.

When Rose Hudecek started dating Marty, back in the late ‘30s, they would go out to an ice cream parlor. Rose would peruse the menu, reading each and every entry, then order a pineapple sundae. Marty would usually have a dish of vanilla. After several dates, he asked why she just didn’t order a pineapple sundae when

they got there. She said she always thought she might want something different, but nothing else appealed to her. To this day, her son-in-law knows that he better bring her nothing but a pineapple sundae.

When Stewart’s first opened their shops, the main attraction was their ice cream sundae bar. You would go in and get a dish of ice cream and get to make your own sundae with the vast array of toppings there. Then you’d go to a booth and relax and enjoy.

Are there any booths left in a Stewart’s?

Remember the Sugar Bowl?

The Chat and Chew? A great loss to my stretch of the road is no more Ron’s Dairy Bar. We could go and order, then sit at his tables and watch the cows graze in the fields, see the haze descending from the mountains, and just be at peace.

Grabbing a quick cone of soft ice cream is still a wonderful thing, but sharing with someone is special.

We need to take the time to smell the roses. Especially with a hot fudge sundae for me, and a banana split for my friend, then, taking turns tasting each other’s.

MUSIC REVIEW:

The Exceptional Woman German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter at Tanglewood

by Thomas E. Jensen LENOX, Mass. — One of my favorite German words is Abenddämmerung. It is twilight. It is when the fire flies and crickets come out in The Berkshire Hills.

If you are a fisherman, it is when you catch more trout. At Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusetts (summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra) it is when the stars begin to shine. It is special.

Just after 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 6th, Maestro Andris Nelsons and the Brass of the BSO took the stage in the Koussevitzky Music Shed, marching on briskly in their All-Whites. They did not disappoint in Joan Towers’ Fanfare to an Exceptional Woman, played warmly. There is something about Nelsons, a “Brass Man” himself , leading this fanfare with these horns that makes it unique and exceptional — just thrilling.

Next, the BSO walked on, then Nelsons with the Exceptional Woman herself, German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter,

MUSIC REVIEW

THOMAS

JENSON clad in a marvelous black with dark red velvet gown. It was Abenddämmerung. The songbirds were chirping in the old trees on the lawn as Mutter and the BSO began their communion. Mutters late husband Andre’ Previn wrote the Violin Concerto Anne-Sophie in 2001 on a commission from the BSO with Mutter in mind. The three movement concerto is unique in that each part is lengthier than the last. The romantic Moderato bouys the spirit. The sparse Cadenza strips one of those emotions and exposes our

human vulnerability. The nostalgic Andante is a sentimental journey. A perfect piece for the musician that is, as Germans say, Vielseitig ( “many-sided” ). And in this case also a symphony orchestra just as deft and versatile. Mutter was graceful and generous. The BSO, poised.

I can’t recall moving through so many emotions so fluidly during a piece of music. But that is

Previn, Mutter, and the BSO. It was well appreciated in Lenox.

We all face Abenddämmerung. It is a privilege to hear Mutter play now after her many years auf der Bühne (on stage). It may not yet be Abenddämmerung for Mutter’s long career, but don’t take any chances; plan to hear her the next time she plays with the BSO. With Mutter, it is all about the music

Intimacy stands between life and art

By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

Jack Hazan’s “A Bigger Splash,” from 1974, is a highly original biopic, part documentary, part feature, with strong sexuality and a unique mod London atmosphere.

The stylish, influential artist David Hockney breaks up with his lover and muse Peter Schlesinger while working on what will become his masterpiece. Soon, Hockney’s creative juices dry up even while he searches for the key to unlock his gifts. This is a sassy and sexy movie, with a terrific thriller-style music score.

Hazan discards the routine qualities of the documentary — narrator, interviewer, “talking heads” — and creates his own portrait of the artist as loner, played to perfection by Hockney, who lives in a loft above an antique store, attends dull but lavish parties and cheers on the runway models at glitzy fashion shows.

The breakup has a devastating effect on the artist and his friends, one of whom remarks, “When love ends, more than two people get hurt.” This is a dark, well-observed and perfectly cast character study.

David Hockney from ‘A Bigger Splash’.

Similar to Antonioni’s “Blow Up” (1966), the alienated characters living flashy pop lifestyles make “A Bigger Splash” compelling. The people in Hockney’s irresistible orbit present many points of view, which sometimes yield surprising results. Hazan’s personal involvement with

this movie goes back to 1973, but its two releases, in 1974 and 1984, were limited to New York and Los Angeles art houses. The film and soundtrack underwent restoration in 2017 and the movie got the wider release it deserves this year. It’s an eye-popping look at a subject that, in its day, provoked

knee-jerk responses but now stands as a cultural flash point for the LGBTQ community.

The film’s makeover boasts stylish widescreen photography and Hazan’s incisive political edge may be more pronounced today than it was 45 years ago. The director surrounds Hockney with a roster of outstanding supporting actors, all of whom, like Hockney, play themselves and imprint their personalities on the story. There’s a neat ending, too, as Hockney is inspired to paint “Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures).” An enigmatic figure resembling Schlesinger gazes into the water at an unidentifiable swimmer at his feet.

Changing times and years of obscurity have taken the edge off the story, but there are still emotional jolts and flashes of comic wit, and Hockney, beset by insecurity and a confusing romantic life, is excellent. This unique docu-drama with British pop-art flavors doesn’t always work, but the cast is lively and the portrait of the artist at a crossroads always interesting.

CALENDAR LISTINGS TSL Movies July 11 - July 18 n The Garden — Half waking dream and half fiery polemic, The Garden was born of director Derek Jarman’s rage over continued antigay discrimination and the sluggardly response to the AIDS crisis.

He had been diagnosed HIV positive in 1988. Starring Tilda Swinton, this uniquely kaleidoscopic film shows the filmmaker’s genius at its most coruscating, making space in its breadth of vision for an overthe-top, Hollywood-style musical number, nightmare images of tar-and-feather queer persecution, and footage of the particularly menacing-looking nuclear power plant that overlooks Jarman’s own garden, the point from which his film begins. 1990. 1h35m. n Yomeddone — Beshay, a man cured of leprosy, has never left the leper colony in the Egyptian desert where he has lived since childhood.

Following the death of his wife, he decides to go in search of his roots. With his meager possessions strapped to a donkey cart, he sets out. Quickly joined by Obama, the Nubian orphan he has taken under his wing, Beshay will cross Egypt and confront the world with all its sorrows, its hardships, and moments of grace, in his quest for a family, a place to belong, a little humanity. In Arabic with subtitles.

1h37m. n The Spy behind Home Plate — This is the story of Morris “Moe” Berg, the brilliant Jewish baseball player turned spy. Berg caught and fielded in the major leagues during baseball’s Golden Age in the 1920s and 1930s. But very few people know that Berg also worked for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), spying in Europe and playing a prominent role in America’s efforts to undermine the German atomic bomb program during WWII. The documentary reveals the life of this unknown Jewish hero through rare historical footage and photographs as well as revealing interviews with an All-Star roster of celebrities and other individuals from the worlds of sports, spycraft, and history. 2019. 1h41m. n In the Aisles — When the reclusive Christian (Franz Rogowski, Transit) takes a job working the night shift at a big box store, his new manager, Bruno from the Beverage Department (Peter Kurth, Babylon Berlin), teaches him the lay of the land and the delicacy it takes to operate a forklift. Christian becomes enamored by his charming but mysterious co-worker “Sweets Marion” (Sandra Hüller, Toni Erdmann), with whom he begins to share flirtatious break room coffees and conversations.

But Marion has secrets of her own, and when she suddenly goes on sick leave, Christian is tempted to fall into habits of his dark past. An affecting and bittersweet glimpse into the shared connections of a motley group of workers, In the Aisles quietly celebrates the beauty in the day-to-day and the collective pride we take in our jobs with dark humor and nuance. In German with subtitles. 2h5m. n The Third Wife — In 19th century rural Vietnam, 14-year-old May becomes the third wife of wealthy landowner Hung. Soon she learns that she can only gain status by asserting herself as a woman who can give birth to a male child. May’s hope to change her status turns into a real and tantalizing possibility when she gets pregnant. Faced with forbidden love and its devastating consequences, May finally comes to an understanding of the brutal truth: the options available to her are few and far between. In Vietnamese with subtitles. 1h36m. n The Third Annual Hudson NY Shorts — Saturday, July 13, Program 1 at 5:30pm, Program 2 at 7:30pm Hudson NY Shorts is a mixed genre, short film festival with entries from local and global filmmakers.

Each film program will include both narrative and documentary shorts. Comedy, Urban, LGBTQQI, Music Videos, Drama, Animation, Experimental, and other genres will be selected to create two eclectic 70-minute segments that will urge New York audiences to think, feel, and expand.

Industry professionals will judge the Best in Festival Short Film and the Winner of Best in Festival will be awarded $500. The Winning Screenplay will receive a reading and production consultation by HNYS For more information go to www. hudsonnyshorts.com.

Tickets for each program: $10 general / $8.50 members and students.

Double Feature: $18 / $15. n A Bigger Splash — New Restoration. When David Hockney’s beautiful lover, Peter Schlesinger, breaks up with him, it leaves David a complete emotional wreck. An artist, he suddenly finds himself unable to create anything, and is

awash in depression and loneliness. After a time, David is able to find inspiration in his backyard swimming pool, and he begins a portrait of it. This unique docudrama presents a semi-fictionalized account of the story behind one of Hockney’s most popular paintings.

1974. 1h46m. n The Wandering Soap Opera — Filmed by Chilean master Raúl Ruiz in 1990 but left unfinished until it was completed by his wife and collaborator Valeria Sarmiento in 2017. A dreamily interconnected series of vignettes that spoof on telenovela conventions while reflecting Ruiz’s feelings upon returning to his native Chile after more than 15 years away. In one episode, a man seduces a woman by showing her his muscles, which are actually slabs of raw meat slapped into her hand. Later, the man has a gun pulled on him when he accuses a poet of plagiarism. Meanwhile, through the television screen, five women have lost their husbands after an earthquake and embrace a better future together. In Spanish with subtitles. 1990/2017. 1h18m. n Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché — Narrated

by Jodie Foster, this documentary, about the first female filmmaker, Alice Guy-Blaché, explores the heights of fame and financial success she achieved before she was shut out from the very industry she helped create. Over the span of her career, she wrote, produced, or directed 1,000 films, including 150 with synchronized sound during the “silent” era. Her work includes comedies, westerns, and dramas, as well as films with groundbreaking subject matter such as child abuse, immigration, Planned Parenthood, and female empowerment. She also etched a place in history by making the earliest known surviving narrative film with an all-black cast. 2018. 1h43m.

Storm pitcher Derrek DuPont delivers a pitch to the plate during a recent Hudson River Collegiate Baseball League game against the Rattlers at Greenport Town Park.

HRCBL Rattlers end Storm winning streak Columbia-Greene Media

GREENPORT — The Hudson River Collegiate Baseball League’s top two teams met for the battle for first place on Monday. The Rattlers held a half a game lead on the surging Storm, who were the winners of seven games in a row. Sloppy defense by the Storm gave the Rattlers the advantage and ultimately the victory, 8-2.

Rattlers coach Joe Braim sent Carter Sorensen to the mound with instructions to shut down the league’s hottest team.

CHATHAM — District 17 champion Wappinger broke up a tie game with four runs in the top of the fifth inning and went on to defeat Chatham, 8-5, in Tuesday’s Section 2 9-10 year-old softball game.

The two teams will meet again in the double elimination tournament on Wednesday night at Robinson Lane Park in Wappingers Falls. If Chatham wins, a third and deciding game would be played on Thursday at a site to be determined.

Wappinger didn’t get its first hit off of Chatham pitcher Skyler Groom until the fifth inning, but was still able to plate three runs over the first four innings, making the most of walks and aggressive base running.

Wappinger plated its first run in the first inning when Maria Halvey walked, stole second and scored on a pair of wild pitches.

The score remained 1-0 until the second when Wappinger added another run when

Rapinoe steals the show at the World Cup rally Victor Mather and Danielle Allentuck The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — There were words of gratitude, the usual forgettable verbiage from public officialdom and a presentation of the keys to the city. Then the people gathered at the City Hall rally for the U.S. women’s soccer team on Wednesday finally got to hear from the woman most of them were waiting for: Megan Rapinoe.

Rapinoe did not disappoint. In a memorable speech, she lauded her teammates, spoke of the politics of division and equal pay and let forth a profane tribute to New York City.

“This is my charge to everyone: We have to be better, we have to love more and hate less.

Listen more and talk less. It is our responsibility to make this world a better place,” Rapinoe told the crowd.

The ceremony came after the team rolled up Broadway, cheered by thousands and showered in confetti. The team, which defeated the Netherlands, 2-0, on Sunday in the final in Lyon, France, traversed the Canyon of Heroes, a stretch of Broadway from Battery Park to City Hall.

Rapinoe fed off the energy of the crowd as she celebrated her team with the most poignant words of the day.

“This group is so resilient, is so tough, has such a sense of humor,” said Rapinoe, the top scorer at the Women’s World Cup in France,

BRAD PENNER/USA TODAY

United States women’s soccer team forward Megan Rapinoe (15) celebrates with teammates at City Hall after the ticker-tape parade for the United States women’s national soccer team down the canyon of heroes in New York City.

where the United States won its second straight title. “There’s nothing that can faze this group.

“We got pink hair and purple hair. We got

tattoos and dreadlocks. We got white girls and black girls and everything in between. We got straight girls and gay girls.”

Bagpipers, motorcyclists and rows of police officers joined the floats of soccer stars in the parade. Mayor Bill de Blasio waved an American flag surrounded by members of the team, who wore “world champion” shirts and their medals.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo was on a separate players’ float, and he, Crystal Dunn, Tobin Heath and other players were seen chanting “equal pay.” The team’s players have objected that the American men’s team is paid more, though its performances have been significantly weaker.

A poster on that float read: “Parades are cool; equal pay is cooler.”

“I’ve got 22 of the best, bestest friends right behind me,” Carli Lloyd said at the City Hall ceremony. Her speech followed a lengthy drum performance, the national anthem, the presentation of colors, introductions by Robin Roberts, and speeches by the mayor; his wife, Chirlane McCray; and Carlos Cordeiro, the president of U.S. Soccer, who was serenaded by “equal pay” chants by many in the crowd.

In an interview on CNN on Tuesday night, Rapinoe said she and her teammates wanted to celebrate their title in part by talking to leaders in Congress and elsewhere about the issues they’ve been vocal about throughout their run.

She said she was not interested, however, in going to the White House, because she didn’t See SOCCER B6

Erik Boland Newsday

CLEVELAND — CC Sabathia’s career will end after this season.

The left-hander left no doubt about that Tuesday night at Progressive Field, where he was honored before the 90th All-Star Game, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch to Sandy Alomar.

“No, no, no,” Sabathia said, laughing, cutting the question off. “No unretiring. My knee says there’s no unretiring.”

But he stressed that if it is up to him, it will only be his onfield career coming to an end.

“I definitely want to be in the front office,” Sabathia said late Tuesday afternoon inside the American League clubhouse, which also serves as the Indians’ clubhouse, where Sabathia spent many nights when he pitched for Cleveland from 2001-08. “Special assistant, be around. Around the team, around the club. I live in Jersey, and I definitely want to be around the Yankees for KEN BLAZE/USA TODAY years to come.”

New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia is honored prior to the 2019 MLB All Star Game at Progressive Sabathia, who recorded Field. his 3,000th strikeout and his 250th win this season, said he’s being around the ballpark down in extended (spring next spring (2021) for sure.” already had informal discus- pretty much every day and training in Tampa) this year, I Sabathia, a six-time All-Star, sions with general manager helping out and being around got to hang around with a lot including from 2010-12 with Brian Cashman. the guys, I think it would be of those guys, I was watching the Yankees, spent Monday “I’ve been in his ear a little something I could do and have bullpens and stuff, and that night on the field with his four bit,” Sabathia said, smiling. fun doing.” was fun.

“Both,” he said. “I would right away.

When I was own thing for a little bit, but the said Sabathia, who is 251-157

with a 3.71 ERA, including 5-4, 4.03 this season. “To be a part of this is awesome, and I’m just thankful to the Yankees and the Steinbrenner family and the commissioner for bringing me here. It was cool. Vladdy hit 91 homers, man. It was insane.

It was just incredible.”

Sabathia said “even without any of that stuff,” meaning reaching 3,000 strikeouts and 250 wins, “I feel like I’ve had ... a dream career.”

Not that those milestones were insignificant.

“Adding all that stuff on top of it, getting a chance to get 3,000 strikeouts, winning 250 games, enjoying the trip to London with the team, being here at the All-Star Game and hopefully ending off the season right with a parade would be good.”

The chance for another ring was the No. 1 draw for Sabathia, who has battled knee problems the last five years, to play one more season. One more chance to win a second championship — he won one in 2009, his first season with the Yankees — this time with an entirely new group.

“That was a huge, huge part of it, having a chance to win,” Sabathia said, smiling again.

“And honestly, just being with this group of guys. I know this group of guys — Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Gleyber Torres — they’re going to win the World Series. I want to be here.

I don’t want to be in the front office when they do. I want to be a player. This is my one last chance, so they have to do it for me.”

With a friend on his mind, Giolito pitches an inning to remember Paul Sullivan Chicago Tribune

CLEVELAND — When you’re playing in your first AllStar Game, it’s no surprise that all the people who’ve helped you along the way spring to mind.

So while White Sox ace Lucas Giolito was enjoying the fruits of his first-half success during the events leading up to Tuesday’s game at Progressive Field, he couldn’t help but think about his friend Tyler Skaggs, the Angels pitcher who died unexpectedly last week at 27.

The two buddies from California had attended each other’s weddings last winter, and Skaggs’ death was too difficult for Giolito to talk about openly in the days after it happened.

“It’s been tough,” Giolito said Tuesday before the American League’s 4-3 victory. “It’s been weird because I’m here celebrating my accomplishments, but in the back of my mind it’s still fresh and at times doesn’t feel real.

“Grief is a tough thing. I just feel so sorry. It was such a horrible thing to happen to his family. I’m going to take him with me. I have him on my hat tonight.”

Giolito then showed off his American League All-Star cap, having written Skaggs’ number 45 on the front. When he looks back on this special day years from now, he’ll always be reminded of his friend, who was honored before the game with a moment of silence.

As happens sometimes in your All-Star debut, Giolito looked shaky at the outset.

After being called on to pitch the fourth with the AL leading 1-0, he walked Freddie Freeman on four pitches, with the fourth one sailing high. But Giolito settled down quickly, getting Cody Bellinger looking on a change-up, then inducing groundouts from Nolan Arenado and Josh Bell.

For most fans, the All-Star Game is all about watching their favorite players represent their teams on a national stage.

For players such as Giolito and Sox catcher James McCann, it’s a chance to stop and take stock of how far you’ve come, while pondering the possibilities of what lies ahead.

“Sharing it with (Jose) Abreu is special, he’s been here before,” McCann said. “Sharing it with Lucas is a different

kind of special. One, because of the relationship we’ve built this year. It’s a similar story for me, so being able to share the stage and that success after the failures together, that’s pretty amazing.”

The Sox players received polite applause during pregame introductions Tuesday, while the three Cubs — Javier Baez, Kris Bryant and Willson Contreras — were roundly booed

by Indians fans, who can’t seem to get over the Game 7 loss in the 2016 World Series.

Baez pumped his fist in the air to answer the vociferous crowd, seemingly relishing a chance to show he was back and ready to do some more damage to Cleveland’s delicate psyche.

He didn’t, though, going 0 for 2 before being lifted in the bottom of the third.

Since the game no longer means anything for home-field advantage in the World Series, players have the prerogative of having a little more fun. Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor said beforehand he was planning on goofing around with Baez, an old buddy from their high school days.

“Of course,” he said. “I’m a big fan of his. I’ll be screaming to him and I’ll be laughing.”

Just like old times?

“We play the game how we always play the game,” Lindor said. “It has nothing to do with ‘We’re in the big leagues now, we’ve got to change.’ We’re representing our family, representing our country, and it shows. We’re not doing anything extra. We’re just trying to be ourselves.”

After AL starter Justin Verlander threw Baez six straight fastballs between 96 and 97 mph in the first inning, the Cubs slugger could managed only one foul ball and wound up striking out on a 3-2 slider.

In the third he swung at a firstpitch curve by Jose Berrios and popped out to left, looking toward the AL dugout afterward and holding his right thumb and index finger together to indicate he just missed it.

The game is trending younger, as evidenced by the youngest starting lineup in NL history. There were 36 players participating in their first AllStar Game, the highest since 39 in the 2013 game.

For those who just love the game, warts and all, the AllStar Game is an opportunity

to see the best pitchers in the world facing off against the best hitters. What more could anyone ask for?

“Baseball’s All-Star Game is the best All-Star Game in sports, hands down, period,” Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer said. “This is a real game.

Everybody is going out there giving it their all. The pitchers are coming out there trying to throw it as hard as they can. The hitters are trying to hit home runs. You’re seeing great players all across the diamond.

“This is real baseball. This is baseball at its highest form,

really. ... I know when I watch the other sports’ All-Star formats I come away with a bad taste in my mouth because it doesn’t look like the real sport.

As a fan, I’ve got to think they enjoy baseball’s All-Star Game because of how competitive it is.”

Seriously, Wimbledon embraces John McEnroe Liz Clarke The Washington Post

WIMBLEDON, England — At the height of the circus he created with his Centre Court outbursts, John McEnroe told himself that if he could just win Wimbledon once, he’d never come back.

He was 22 at the time, a two-time U.S. Open champion and vilified by Britain’s tabloids as “Super Brat” for his unhinged “You-can-notbe serious!” tirade at a Wimbledon chair umpire over a call that had gone against him.

Thus began, in June 1981, the “hate” portion of the most fascinating love-hate relationship in tennis history - one that, nearly four decades on, has morphed into something approaching a full-blown love affair.

Upon reflection, it baffles even McEnroe.

“I sort of look at it like, ‘How did this happen?’ “ McEnroe said with a slight chuckle in a wide-ranging interview Tuesday.

But it’s a story that speaks to the capacity of people to mellow with age, the willingness of institutions to adapt to the times and the grace of forgetting past insults and finding common ground.

Today, at 60, the graying McEnroe is as much a fixture at the All England Club as he ever was as a Wimbledon competitor, returning each June to provide commentary for the BBC and ESPN, his joint employers for the fortnight.

Though he does his best to pass unnoticed as he scurries from one broadcast assignment to another - wearing dark glasses and a baseball cap and never breaking stride like a Broadway star trying to run New York errands incognito - a McEnroe sighting on the grounds invariably thrills Wimbledon ticket-holders, who shout a quick hello, word of thanks or, if incredibly bold, ask for a selfie.

Nearly 30 years after he retired as a tennis pro, McEnroe remains sufficiently compelling as a fixture of British sporting history that the BBC produced an hourlong documentary, “John McEnroe: Still Rockin’ at 60,” in the run-up to this year’s edition of Wimbledon.

And McEnroe’s audiotaped voice is what visitors now hear at the Wimbledon Museum run by the All England Club - the same club that initially withheld the customary honor of membership when McEnroe won his first Wimbledon singles title that annus horribilis, 1981, after unleashing his epic tirade at the chair umpire in the first round and concluding with a four-set victory over Bjorn Borg, who had beaten him in a five-set thriller the previous year.

McEnroe accepted Wimbledon’s 1981 trophy, skipped the Champion’s Ball and went on to win Wimbledon twice more, in 1983 and 1984. But fed up with what he perceived as predatory treatment by the press, feasting on

ROBERT DEUTSCH/USA TODAY

John McEnroe watches a match at the 2017 U.S. Open in Ashe Stadium at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

his relationship with actress Tatum O’Neal, and a failure of tennis officials to protect him from it, he skipped Wimbledon in 1986, halfexpecting his absence to exact the vengeance he sought for the circus that had engulfed his life.

“The idea was to recharge the batteries, have my [first] child, give myself some time and basically come back a better player,” McEnroe said, recounting his thinking. “Part of it was also, ‘To hell with Wimbledon! I’m not coming here! I’m not playing! I’m bigger than they are!’ “ The tournament, however, carried on without him. Nonetheless, McEnroe doubled down and skipped Wimbledon again in 1987.

“That was further throwing pie in my own face,” McEnroe mused. “Ultimately, I realized, ‘Wow! They’re not begging me to come play. They’re still playing.’ “ Though McEnroe returned to Wimbledon in 1988, he never reclaimed his championship form on its grass courts, which were so well suited to his artful shot-making and potent volleys.

He ended up retiring four years later, at

the end of the 1992 season, with seven career Grand Slam titles - three earned at Wimbledon and four at the U.S. Open. It goes without saying that it could have been more.

“I was stubborn,” McEnroe said. “I missed two Wimbledons, where I had been in five finals, the quarters and the semis. I had results; was one of the best on grass. So I sort of look back and think, it’s too bad I didn’t give myself the chance. Then again, who knows?”

As his pro career wound down, McEnroe, by then married to O’Neal and a father of three, launched his second career in broadcasting, signing a contract with NBC. He distinctly remembers thinking as a player that broadcasting was the last thing he’d want to do. “That’s when you know that you have folded!” he joked.

But he changed his mind after watching his tennis-playing buddy from Queens, the late Vitas Gerulaitis, glide into the broadcast booth like a polished pro. Gerulaitis made the job look like fun to McEnroe. Gerulaitis knew tennis, but he didn’t take himself too seriously as an analyst. That became McEnroe’s template.

REPORTERS, EDITORS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS CREATE REAL NEWS. JOURNALISM YOU CAN TRUST.

And he has proved a natural.

Whether providing commentary for NBC or USA, as he did earlier in his career, or the BBC and ESPN today, McEnroe doesn’t sugar-coat his analysis of players. Nor does he instruct viewers in a pedantic, patronizing way. Instead, he talks tennis like a New Yorker talking baseball with the guy at the deli counter.

“There are very few analysts of sports that see the game, take the intangibles and make it tangible,” said Jamie Reynolds, ESPN’s vice president of production. “John makes me feel like he’s talking to me as a friend. He’s not taking me to school or over-analyzing. He’s giving me an easy way to understand tennis, and he filters it with a passion.”

McEnroe’s candor is particularly well received by British audiences, marking a sharp departure from the network’s staid commentary that preceded him.

On Tuesday’s BBC broadcast of the women’s quarterfinal between Britain’s Johanna Konta and Barbora Strycova, McEnroe swapped insights with former pros Tracy Austin and Kim Clijsters in a conversation moderated by Sue Barker. Among his prematch suggestions: The typically reserved Konta, who ended up losing, needed to find a way to use the support of Wimbledon’s crowd to her advantage.

“Kind of like [Jimmy] Connors?” Barker asked, referencing McEnroe’s nemesis, who reveled in whipping U.S. Open crowds into a frenzy.

“There are limits,” McEnroe replied with a frown.

The irony, of course, was that McEnroe was just as extreme and excessive as Connors ever was, back when he was battling for major titles and the world No. 1 ranking.

The switch to the broadcast booth has clearly broadened McEnroe’s perspective, as has his second marriage, now in its 22nd year, to singer Patty Smyth, and rearing the six children they share.

“I’d like to think people see me, maybe, hopefully, as an adult - as someone who has gone through the trials and tribulations of being a parent, going through divorce, a lot of things people experience, and coming out the other end and being able to find my own niche,” McEnroe said, reflecting on his relationship with present-day tennis fans and favored-son status at Wimbledon.

“Hopefully I was intelligent enough to realize that this game has been good to me. All in all, I was pretty lucky to be able to turn that around and find ways to hopefully give something back while still being involved in the game. And to be seen in a different light. I didn’t anticipate that.”

the fourth without the benefit of a base hit. Kiera Witchey walked, stole second, took third on a passed ball and scored on a wild pitch.

Chatham didn’t trail for long, though, as it came back with a run in the last of the fourth. Samantha Silver reached on an infield error and pinch-runner Chudy

promptly stole second and third and came into score when Wappinger botched a rundown between third and home.

Wappinger finally managed to create some breathing room in the fifth when Lauren Shook led off with a single, went to second on a throwing error and scored on Hotle’s

base hit. An error, three walks and wild pitches allowed three more runs to score to make it a 7-3 game.

Chatham cut into the lead with two runs in the bottom of the fifth with two runs, one of which was driven in on an infield single by Lauren Wilcox, but Wappinger went on to add an insurance run in the sixth,

then held Chatham scoreless in the home half of the frame to sew up the victory.

Chatham managed just four hits off of winning pitcher Kaelyn Brenner. Rowe’s triple was the lone extra base hit. Mountain, Elcox and Silver each had a single.

Shook tripled and singled for Wappinger. Hotle added

two singles.

Brenner turned in a complete game for the win, striking out 16 and walking two.

Groom took the loss, striking out 13, walking 10 and allowing seven runs and four hits in five innings. Mountain pitched the sixth, surrendering one run and two hits with one walk.

Rapinoe said the “equal pay” chant from the crowd at the end of the final solidified

the win as a transcendent moment. She said that beyond pay, the issue was about investing equally into the men’s and women’s games.

“Until we have equal investment and care and thought and brainpower put on both sides, then we don’t know

what our potential is. I mean right now I would say that we’re doing pretty good basically creating this entire business without being compensated substantially.”

The Canyon of Heroes has been used to celebrate many people and events, including

the Apollo 11 astronauts and the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge. This is the second time the women’s national team has received the honor; the 2015 squad was also feted, a first for a women’s team.

It has been a nonstop party for the team since their

victory. Champagne flowed in the locker room, and celebrations have continued in the streets of France, on planes and buses, and now back in the United States. Several players were seen swigging from Champagne bottles during the parade.

Friendship ends after birthday joke goes wildly wrong I recently attended a friend’s party that was being given to celebrate their son’s 18th birthday. I thought it would be cheeky and fun to buy him a risque card from an adult boutique, thinking everyone would get a good laugh, and we’d have something to roast the young man with. When he opened the card, he had this look of horror on his face, ran out of the room all DEAR ABBY teary-eyed and went directly to his bedroom. His mother picked up the card and immediately asked me to leave. I was really embarrassed but unsure about the reason.

I gave them a week or so to cool off. I called back only to be informed by the mother that I had violated her son’s sanctity of sexual orientation because he identifies as a “they” and “prefers androgynous boys to women.”

She went on to explain that as a result of my “indiscriminate sexism,” I’m no longer allowed around the family.

I feel I should’ve been informed of the child’s orientation being such an important aspect of his ... or rather, “their” identity, and tried to explain it was an honest mistake and would never happen again. My friend said the damage was done, and they can’t forgive that kind of arrogance and blatant disrespect for “their” gender identity and sexual orientation.

Was I insensitive for not asking first, or should the parents have taken the initiative to inform me so I wouldn’t make such an egregious error in what I assumed was a wellrounded friendship? Any advice would be great.

I think one lesson to be learned here is that some people are not comfortable with sexual humor. Another is that it is a mistake to assume that everyone is straight or cisgender.

Family Circus

I’m sorry that the young person was embarrassed. Your apology should have been directed at them, not their mother. But since the mother has now decreed you persona non grata, you will have to accept it. It’s unfortunate. The family overreacted. What could have been handled as a simple teachable moment was blown out of proportion.

I am about to blow my top!

I am a married father of two in the military who works 12 hours daily to support my family. My wife and I are college grads and have been married five years. For those years we have maintained residence in Hawaii. My wife doesn’t work and tries to run a day care that is mildly successful.

Our home is always dirty because, as she puts it, she is not a housemaid. She doesn’t cook often either. Many times I come home so tired I can’t see, and the house is a mess. This has caused arguments.

My thinking is, if she’s not going to take care of the house, she should get a job and help with the finances. The money she gets from the day care doesn’t go toward the household. She considers it her spending money.

I am ready to bounce and find greener pastures. I have tried talking to her, but she ignores my complaints and plays the victim.

We have already tried counseling. It doesn’t work because she goes back to her normal self afterward. Help!

Marriage is supposed to be a partnership and, from what you have written, your wife is unwilling to contribute to it. I can’t change her and neither can you. Because counseling hasn’t resolved your obvious lack of compatibility, it’s time to consult a lawyer.

‘Brittle’ diabetes encompasses harder-to-control blood sugar I am 74 years old and have been a brittle Type 1 diabetic for 50 years. I have no history of heart disease. My doctor of 40 years recently retired and had me control my hemoglobin A1C to a range of 5.9-6.2. My new doctor, who is in her mid-30s, wants me to elevate my hemoglobin A1C to 8.0. Is this the new way of controlling TO YOUR blood sugar? I am confused!

GOOD HEALTH Can you please explain the difference in opinion?

DR. KEITH ROACH

“Brittle” diabetes is when it is hard to control too-high and toolow blood sugars.

The A1C is a blood test that looks at average blood sugar over the past few months. A normal A1C is between 4 and 5.6%. People with normal A1C levels are at very low risk of complications from diabetes, especially of the kidneys (leading to dialysis), eyes (which ultimately leads to blindness) and nerves (diabetic neuropathy is painful and predisposes to injury).

On the other hand, low A1C levels put people at higher risk for low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can be very dangerous. People with Type 2 diabetes and blockages in blood vessels (or at very high risk) were shown to have higher risk of heart attack. For this reason, recent guidelines for older adults with Type 2 diabetes have had more

relaxed goals, in the range of 7 to 8, although these do need to be individualized. For Type 1 diabetes, most guidelines still recommend an A1C goal of less than 7%. However, for a person with Type 1 diabetes who also has other medical problems that are likely to impact mortality, and for those at high risk for severe hypoglycemia, a more relaxed goal is not unreasonable.

Hypoglycemia is too-low blood sugar, with risk of confusion. This is a big problem in people with brittle diabetes.

A lower A1C is associated with a lower risk of damage to small blood vessels, which is what is responsible for nerve damage, eye disease and most diabetic kidney disease. If you have been able to keep your A1C in the range of 5.9 to 6.2, which is not an easy feat, and have not had any serious episodes of low blood sugar recently, I would wonder why your new doctor feels your blood sugar needs to be substantially higher than it is.

Finding the right balance between good control and freedom from hypoglycemia isn’t always easy, but these are the risks and benefits your doctors have been considering.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are not always one to share how you are feeling or what you are thinking with those around you, as you are often quite doubtful that you will be taken seriously or that your needs will be met by exploring them with others. For this reason, you may spend much of your life on your own, seeking that one situation or relationship that allows you to be yourself, free of the kinds of doubts and uncertainties that tend to hold you back.

You can be quite timid when it comes to love and romance, and anyone who wishes to pursue a relationship with you had better get used to the fact that he or she will have to drive things if any progress is going to be made at all!

Also born on this date are: Lil’ Kim, rapper; Andre Johnson, football player; Yul Brynner, actor; John Quincy Adams, U.S. president; Richie Sambora, guitarist; John Henson, comedian; Giorgio Armani, designer; E.B. White, author.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

FRIDAY, JULY 12 CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You are running up against all manner of obstacles at this time, but today you should be able to get past one that poses the most serious threat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A difference of opinion becomes clear when you discuss certain things with a friend. You must realize that this is in no way important!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your perspective allows you to see things a little more clearly than usual today — and you will be in a position to help others as a result.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may have to take

one or two extra steps today to get to where you had thought you would already be. Things have been getting in the way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You will want to spend more time on a certain issue today — and more, certainly, than most others. Solo exploration can yield much information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — What you do on your own today reaps certain unexpected benefits, but you may wonder whether you’re better off.

You miss group efforts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You can prove that you know what you’re talking about without raising your voice or inundating others with facts.

Take the simple approach.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — What goes on behind the scenes today gives you insight into something you’ll soon have to do, and perhaps changes your mind about it, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — The most minor adjustments today yield the greatest results. They can prove long-standing, too, if you know how to “bank” them well.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may be struggling to understand what is expected of you at this time. Perhaps the answer lies in trying to satisfy only yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — An assignment proves too much for you today — but a friend steps in and gives you the support and counsel you need.

You can get it done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You will have to trust the one person who is watching out for you today — and if you don’t, you will certainly have a hard time of it.
