CATSKILL — The former Greene County Jail is being evaluated by an engineering firm to learn how much it would cost to bring the building up to code, county officials said Wednesday. The evaluation, being performed by Barton & Loguidice, will take place concurrently with construction on a new jail facility in Coxsackie. The county authorized a U.S. Department of Agriculture bond for $39 million and plans to contribute $8.1 million for the 60-bed facility. The former jail, at 80 Bridge St., was a lost

cause, Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said.

“It is a 100-year-old building,” he said. “We feel there is no salvation.”

The jail was abruptly closed April 20, 2018, after a meeting between Greene County Sheriff Greg Seeley and three lawmakers: former Legislature Chairman Kevin Lewis, R-Greenville; William Lawrence, R-Cairo; and Michael Bulich, R-Catskill. “I called every board member,” Groden said Wednesday. “We declared it an emergency situation.” Groden recalled that the floor of the jail was separating from the wall in one section. “You think I’m going to wait for a public meeting?” he said.

Get ready for a scorcher of a weekend. Potentially dangerous high temperatures and humidity are headed our way. “We are looking for a hot and humid air mass to come into the Mid-Hudson Valley and the Capital Region over

the next few days,” said meteorologist Tom Wasula at the National Weather Service in Albany. Over the next couple of days temperatures are expected to be in the mid to upper 80s, dropping into the mid 60s at night. But then the heat will hit.

“It looks like we will really build into the heat later in the week and over the weekend,” Wasula said. “The best chance for widespread temperatures in the high 90s should start Friday. With the combination of high temperatures and high See HOT A2

The exterior of the existing Greene County Sheriff’s Office on Bridge Street in Catskill. An unauthorized auction of its interior occurred last month.

CATSKILL — Uncertainty surrounding the legality of an auction at the former sheriff’s office last month continued Wednesday as photographs of items tagged for sale surfaced in a comment posted on Hudson Valley 360. Items that were not specified in the email to Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden on March 28 are featured in the advertisement on Auction International. Additionally the auction began on March 27, according to the website. “In parentheses it says doors,

windows and molding,” Groden said Wednesday, referring to the email sent to him by the Greene County Sheriff’s Office. “I must have read [it] at 80 miles an hour.” Groden responded to the email by authorizing windows, doors, molding and kitchen equipment to be sold. Because the value of the items was under $10,000, the items did not have to be retired or sold off by the Greene County Legislature, Groden said. The tag line for the advertisement on Auction International reads, “Vintage Windows, Doors, Radiators, Floors, Molding &

More.” Photographs accompanying the advertisement show the staircase, a vintage claw-foot bathtub, a sink, two fireplaces and many other items. Groden said he did not see photographs for these items online. “Building will be taken down in the near future,” according to the advertisement. “Buyer is responsible for removal and must have proper liability insurance.” The highest bidder, listed under the name ronsully57., won the items for $260. The Legislature will hold a See AUCTION A2

Correction Worst Offenders report in February 2018 listed Greene County Jail among the top five poorest jails in the state. “Although recognizing that facility replacement is important, the commission’s paramount concern remains with the management and operation of the current facility, which in recent years has deteriorated to the detriment of inmate and staff safety,” according to the commission’s report. Three entries are made in the report relating to the physical condition of the jail. The other findings refer to staffing deficiencies and improper policies and procedures. The 2010 findings indicated that concrete damage in the jail’s basement was the result of leaking showers. The interior and exterior doors to the shower area were replaced and the ceiling in the basement was repaired, according to the report. In 2013, the commission found that the jail did not have proper housing for handicapped inmates. “During a site visit, an SCOC staff noted a paraplegic inmate was housed in the facility, although his

wheelchair did not fit into his cell or in the shower in his assigned housing area,” according to the report. The commission subsequently prohibited Greene County from housing handicapped inmates. The 2016 visit revealed inmates being housed in cells with broken windows. The commission reduced the jail’s approved capacity by 16 beds following the visit. The jail also had to regularly apply for variances because the facility had insufficient yard space. New York Commission of Correction regulations state that each facility must provide a minimum of 1,500 square feet for exercise. The Legislature is holding a workshop on July 24 to discuss the future of the former jail. A criminal justice museum for research opportunities and vocational training and a safe space for recovering addicts, the homeless and people in need of transitional housing have been suggested as future uses. “At the least, we ‘re going to use it for parking,” Deputy Administrator Warren Hart said.

remain intact, Deputy Administrator Warren Hart said. The Legislature has not announced firm plans for the property at this time. “At the least, we‘re going to use it for parking,” Hart said. Sale of the property has to be approved by the Legislature, Hart said. A criminal justice museum for research opportunities and vocational training and a safe

space for recovering addicts, the homeless and people in need of transitional housing have been suggested as future uses. As for what has been lost from the sheriff’s office, the county is trying to retrieve the items, Groden said. “We are asking the winners to return the items,” Groden said. “They won fair and square, so it is the purchaser’s option.”

Catskill Airbnb owner Pat Ruck said the winners stayed with her June 8-10. “They spent two days in the building [the sheriff’s office] taking doors off,” Ruck said, adding that a deputy watched over them. Because they came in a compact car, the winners, whom Ruck declined to name, planned to come back for the rest of the items.

Department at 518-943-2244,” Seeley said. “We will have temporary accommodations made available.” The Robert C. Antonelli Senior Center on Academy Street and Community Life Church on West Main Street will be available to assist people who need it. Hudson will also offer a cooling station this weekend for those needing relief from the heat. “The Hudson Central Fire Station at 77 N. Seventh Street will be open this Friday through Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. I am pleased to announce that all citizens of Hudson, or visitors, who would like to find a spot to cool off are more than welcome to come to the fire station,” Hudson Mayor Rick Rector said. “In case of an emergency or if anyone feels their health is being compromised for any reason, please call 911.” No reservations are needed for the cooling station, but if you would like more information please call 518-828-3009, Rector said. Elsewhere in Columbia County, officials said they will wait to see if opening cooling stations is needed. “At this point there are no plans — we will take a waitand-see attitude to see what the heat index is and if the state issues a warning,” Columbia County Board of Supervisors Chairman Matt Murell said. “If that happens, we have locations in the county where we could open cooling stations. We have done it in the past. They mobilize very quickly.” At the Athens Pool, a surge of swimmers looking to cool off in the heat is expected this weekend. “Believe it or not, weekdays are usually busier than weekends, but this weekend I’m thinking we will be ready for it — we are expecting a lot

more people than usual,” Athens Pool Director Jen Francese said. The pool, at 2 Evergreen Place, Athens, is open to members and visitors. Nonmembers may visit for $7 per person, and children under 3 are free, Francese said. Taking a cool dip is one way local residents can beat the heat, but there are others. “I like swimming, maybe in Lake Taconic. Anything to get wet — maybe go to a water park,” Tim Wrigley, of Stuyvesant, said. “Air conditioning. Stay in the A.C. If it’s really bad out there, like 100 degrees, you don’t want to go venturing outside in the heat.” When can we expect some relief? “Perhaps early next week we could get cooler weather, probably by Monday,” Wasula said. New York will not be alone in the coming heat wave — two-thirds of the country is expected to see temperatures soar above 100 degrees, the National Weather Service said. Everyone living in the region stretching from northern Oklahoma and central Nebraska through Iowa, Missouri and western Illinois should brace for a “prolonged period of dangerously hot temperatures and high humidity,” according to warnings. People in central and south central Kansas should expect to endure highs of about 102 degrees; the temperature in Des Moines, Iowa, was expected to hover around 100. Much of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic

region, including New York City, Boston, Washington and Philadelphia, will also see temperatures near or above 100. Officials warn precautions should be taken — drink plenty of fluids; stay in an air-conditioned room when possible; stay out of the sun; and check on relatives and neighbors, especially the elderly. “The combination of heat and humidity can take its toll on someone who is outside and overdoing it,” said Richard Bann, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center. “It can be life-threatening.” Last year, 108 people died from extreme heat, compared to just 30 who died from cold, according to statistics on weather-related fatalities released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The New York Times Wire Service contributed to this report.

Groden could not say how long the jail had been in that condition, adding that he did not often visit the building very often. Following the closure, the county hired Kaaterskill Associates to evaluate the structural integrity of the jail. “Our mapping of the defects shows a loss in the integrity of the connection between the floor diaphragms and the south exterior wall of 80-90%,” according to Kaaterskill’s report. “This means that under a seismic event or wind storm that would be considered possible for our area this wall could collapse.” The west wall showed a 30% loss of integrity and would likely partially collapse if the south wall fell, according to the report. The walls could be reinforced with steel, according to the report. “The cost of this reinforcement system is difficult to determine, but a preliminary system design shows a construction budget range of $300,000 to $400,000,”

according to the report. Kaaterskill Associates’ report notes that there are other repairs and maintenance items that need to be addressed in addition to the reinforcement. In October, the Legislature voted to rent a temporary processing center in Coxsackie for three years rather than repair the holding cells in Catskill. Repairs to the old holding facility would include new heating, water and sewer systems. “It would be about $300,000 and we would still need a temporary location while the repairs were made,” Groden said in October. “Why pay for it twice?” The old jail is also not ADA compliant and does not have air conditioning, Groden said Wednesday. In addition, with its older design, it is unsuited for direct supervision where correction officers work among inmates, Groden said. The decision to close the old jail was made by the county, Groden said. “It is structurally unsound,” he said. “Why would I waste an appointment for [Commission of Correction] to come down?” The state Commission of

humidity, we could approach heat-advisory levels.” Heat advisories are issued when high temperatures and humidity could be harmful if precautions are not taken, according to the National Weather Service website. “We are expecting temperatures potentially in the upper 90s on Friday, and in that case we would issue a heat advisory,” Wasula said. More of the same can be expected through the weekend. “Heat indices could get into the high 90s or lower 100s,” Wasula said. As temperatures rise, doctors warn precautions should be taken. “The most important things to remember are water, rest and shade,” said Dr. Clifford J. Belden, chief medical officer of Columbia Memorial Health. “Drink plenty of water, avoid strenuous physical activity and stay out of the sun. If you have to work outdoors, work in the morning and evening, if possible. And, as always, do not leave children or pets in an automobile.” Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said the county is keeping an eye on the weather. “We monitor the weather forecast for both cool weather and warm weather,” Groden said. “We do have an inventory of cooling stations, typically at church halls, to get people out of the heat.” Catskill Village President Vincent Seeley said plans are in place to help residents who are struggling with the weather. “If anyone in Catskill finds themselves displaced because of the heat, we encourage them to call the Catskill Police

OUR VIEW

House is right to condemn Trump’s words It’s shocking to imagine that the United States, a shining beacon of freedom and democracy in the world, has a racist president. But that is what Donald Trump demonstrated this weekend by telling four fast-rising congresswomen who criticize his policies to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.” That is not only racist, it’s misogynistic. And the ugly tradition behind the tweet — go back where you came from — sadly is as old as immigration itself. To Trump’s litany of half-truths, factspinning, misinformation and outright lies, add plain old ignorance. Early Tuesday evening, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning Trump for his “racist comments” about four freshman Democratic congresswomen of color,

according to the New York Times News Service. It’s frustrating but not surprising that the resolution passed largely along party lines — 235 Democrats joined by only four Republicans supported the measure, the Times News Service reported. Republicans again failed to stand up to Trump and let him know in no uncertain terms that his behavior is intolerable. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said in a news conference Tuesday morning that he did not believe Trump’s tweets were racist. That, too, sends a disturbing message. Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway responded to a question from reporter Andrew Feinberg about the president’s racist tweets against the four congresswomen with this: “What’s your ethnicity?” Adding insult to injury, Conway told a right-wing media outlet that the minor-

ity congresswomen Trump attacked Sunday represent a “dark underbelly in this country.” Asked to explain this comment, Conway crowed, “We are tired, sick and tired, of many people in this country, forget these people, they represent a dark underbelly in this country of people who are not respecting our troops.” After the House vote, Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, introduced articles of impeachment against Trump on the House floor in a bid to force a vote on the issue, which Democratic leaders have opposed. A vote did not take place, but Green posed this question: “What do you do when the leader of the free world is a racist?“ The answer is to hit hard and send a more powerful, wake-up-call message that such racist and misogynistic conduct is inarguably and totally unacceptable.

ANOTHER VIEW

Apollo 11’s achievement still dazzles WASHINGTON — Thirty months after setting the goal of sending a mission 239,000 miles to the moon, and returning safely, President John Kennedy cited a story the Irish author Frank O’Connor told about his boyhood. Facing the challenge of a high wall, O’Connor and his playmates tossed their caps over it. Said Kennedy, “They had no choice but to follow them. This nation has tossed its cap over the wall of space.” Kennedy said this on Nov. 21, 1963, in San Antonio. The next day: Dallas. To understand America’s euphoria about the moon landing 50 years ago, remember 51 years ago: 1968 was one of America’s worst years — the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy assassinated, urban riots. President Kennedy’s May 25, 1961, vow to reach the moon before 1970 came 43 days after Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to enter outer space and orbit the Earth, and 38 days after the Bay of Pigs debacle. When Kennedy audaciously pointed to the moon, America had only sent a single astronaut on a 15-minute suborbital flight. Kennedy’s goal was reckless, and exhilarating leadership. Given existing knowledge and technologies, it was impossible. But Kennedy said the space program would “serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills.” It did. The thrilling story of collaborative science and individual daring is told well in HBO’s 12-part “From the Earth to the Moon,” and PBS’s three-part “Chasing the Moon,” and in the companion volume with that title, by Robert Stone and Alan Andres, who write: “The American effort to get to the moon was the largest peacetime government

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL initiative in the nation’s history. At its peak in the mid1960s, nearly 2% of the American workforce was engaged in the effort to some degree. It employed more than 400,000 individuals, most of them working for 20,000 different private companies and 200 universities.” The “space race” began as a Cold War competition, military and political. Even before Sputnik, the first orbiting satellite, jolted Americans’ complacency in 1957 (10 days after President Dwight Eisenhower sent paratroopers to Little Rock’s Central High School), national security was at stake in the race for rockets with ever-greater thrusts to deliver thermonuclear warheads with ever-greater accuracy. By 1969, however, the Soviet Union was out of the race to the moon, a capitulation that anticipated the Soviets’ expiring gasp, two decades later, when confronted by the technological challenge of Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative. By mid-1967, a majority of Americans no longer thought a moon landing was worth the expense. But it triggered a final flaring of postwar confidence and pride. “The Eagle has landed” came as defiant last words of affirmation, at the end of a decade that, Stone and Andres note, had begun with harbingers of a coming culture of dark irony and satire: Joseph Heller’s novel “Catch-22” (1961) and Stanley Kubrick’s

film “Dr. Strangelove” (1964). Photos of Earth taken from the moon were said to herald a global sense of humanity’s common destiny. Osama bin Laden was 12 in 1969. Stone and Andres say Apollo 11 was hurled upward by engines burning “15 tons of liquid oxygen and kerosene per second, producing energy equal to the combined power of 85 Hoover Dams.” People spoke jauntily of “the conquest of space.” Well. The universe, 99.9 (and at least 58 other 9s) percent of which is already outside Earth’s atmosphere, is expanding (into we know not what) at 46 miles per second per megaparsec. (One megaparsec is approximately 3.26 million light years.) Astronomers are studying light that has taken perhaps 12 billion years to reach their instruments. This cooling cinder called Earth, spinning in the darkness at the back of beyond, is a minor speck of residue from the Big Bang, which lasted less than a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second 13.8 billion years ago. The estimated number of stars — they come and go — is 100 followed by 22 zeros. The visible universe (which is hardly all of it) contains more than 150 billion galaxies, each with billions of stars. But if there were only three bees in America, the air would be more crowded with bees than space is with stars. The distances, and the violently unheavenly conditions in “the heavens,” tell us that our devices will roam our immediate cosmic neighborhood, but in spite of Apollo 11’s stilldazzling achievement, we are not really going anywhere.

Poverty is about a lack of financial resources, but not only that. As an innovative project of the United Nations Development Program and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative recognizes, measurements of human deprivation must also take account of health and access to education, sanitation and electricity. The resulting global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), based on data from 101 countries, covering 5.7 billion people, provides a snapshot of the progress humankind is making toward the United Nations’ ambitious goal of ending poverty “in all its forms everywhere.” The latest edition of the index confirms the sobering fact that 1.3 billion people, or 23.1 percent of the 101 countries’ population, live in “multidimensional poverty” — characterized by insufficient nutrition, irregular access to safe drinking water or a lack of physical property. Yet from within the report’s details, a more optimistic picture emerges. When the authors studied

changes over time in a subset of 10 countries (total population: 2 billion), for which the best data were available, they discovered remarkable progress. Eight of the 10 experienced a statistically significant drop in their MPI scores, which translated to a total reduction of the number living in multidimensional poverty from 1.1 billion to 782 million. Of this 318 millionperson reduction, some 271 million occurred in booming, gigantic India, whose total population of 1.3 billion accounted for more than half of the studied group of countries’ total. Encouraging povertyreduction data for India may not be all that unexpected. The other countries making headway toward reducing poverty, however, include such unanticipated success stories as Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ethiopia and Congo. In Haiti, the rate of multidimensional poverty fell from 48.4 percent to 39.9 percent between 2012 and 2017, even as its population rose from 10.3 million to 11 million. Peru and Vietnam not only

reduced their MPI scores but also increased income faster among the lowestearning 40 percent of the population than among everyone else. Broadly speaking, these hopeful indicators, in what have heretofore been considered some of the planet’s most troubled economies, show the long-term benefits - including to the poor - of market-based reforms, growth and an open stance toward trade and investment. They also show the benefits of welldesigned interventions to provide public infrastructure, such as schools and clinics. Much of the world — especially sub-Saharan Africa, where 57.5 percent of the population still lives in multidimensional poverty - remains untouched by these positive trends and policies. Nevertheless, the new report confirms that it is rational to hope for, and work toward, improvement and, indeed, that hundreds of millions of people are already living better today than many would have imagined just a few years ago.

John Paul Stevens, a moderate Midwestern Republican and former antitrust lawyer from Chicago who evolved into a savvy and sometimes passionate leader of the Supreme Court’s liberal wing and became the third-longestserving justice on the high court before he retired in 2010, died July 16 at a hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was 99. The cause was complications from a stroke that he suffered Monday, according to an announcement from the Supreme Court. The only justices who served longer were William Douglas, whom Stevens replaced in 1975, and Stephen Field, a nominee of President Abraham Lincoln who served for much of the late 19th century. During his 35-year tenure, Stevens left his stamp on nearly every area of the law, writing the court’s opinions in landmark cases on government regulation, the death penalty, criminal law, intellectual property and civil liberties. Stevens also spoke for the court when it held presidents accountable under the law, writing the 1997 decision that required President Bill Clinton to face Paula Jones’ sexual harassment suit, and the 2006 opinion that barred President George W. Bush from holding military trials for prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base without congressional authorization. But it was in his frequent dissenting opinions that Stevens set forth a view of the law that seemed increasingly - but not automatically - liberal as the years went by and as the court shifted to the right. A strong proponent of federal power, Stevens sharply criticized the limitations Chief Justice William Rehnquist and his fellow conservatives put on Congress’ power to define and remedy violations of federal

The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the Mexican drug lord known as El Chapo, was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison, ending one of modern history’s most brutal and notorious criminal careers. The life sentence, mandated by law as a result of the severity of Guzmán’s crimes, was handed down in the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, where the kingpin was convicted last winter of drug, murder and money laundering charges after a three-month trial. As some of the federal agents

who had chased him for years looked on from the gallery, Judge Brian M. Cogan issued the life term and Guzmán, 62, was hauled away to prepare himself — pending an appeal — for spending the rest of his life behind bars. Speaking for several minutes before his sentencing, Guzmán said he had not received a fair trial and complained about his imprisonment in a federal jail in Manhattan, calling it “psychological, emotional and mental torture 24 hours a day.” Guzmán almost certainly will be sent to the country’s most forbidding federal prison, the

law by the states. In Bush v. Gore, the 2000 election case that helped George W. Bush win the presidency, Stevens lamented in dissent that the five Republican justices who backed Bush would “lend credence to the most cynical appraisal of the work of judges throughout the land.” In 2004, when the court, citing technical reasons, dismissed the plea of U.S. citizen Jose Padilla, who was being held incomunicado as an enemy combatant, Stevens blasted the majority for ducking issues “of profound importance.” “If this Nation is to remain true to the ideals symbolized by its flag, it must not wield the tools of tyrants even to resist an assault by the forces of tyranny,” he wrote. Stevens’ reference to the flag harked back to a 1989 case in which the decorated Navy

veteran of World War II joined Rehnquist and other conservatives in dissenting from a ruling that recognized a First Amendment right to burn the American flag. “The ideas of liberty and equality have been an irresistible force in motivating leaders like Patrick Henry, Susan B. Anthony, and Abraham Lincoln, schoolteachers like Nathan Hale and Booker T. Washington, the Philippine Scouts who fought at Bataan, and the soldiers who scaled the bluff at Omaha Beach,” Stevens wrote in that case. “If those ideas are worth fighting for - and our history demonstrates that they are - it cannot be true that the flag that uniquely symbolizes their power is not itself worthy of protection from unnecessary desecration.” John Paul Stevens was born in Chicago on April 20, 1920, the youngest of four sons.

Donald Trump is seen partying at his Mar-a-Lago Club with financier Jeffrey Epstein in a November 1992 tape aired Wednesday by NBC News that shows the now-president dancing with cheerleaders, patting a woman on her backside and appearing to point out other women to him. Trump’s relationship with Epstein has come under renewed scrutiny since federal prosecutors brought new sex trafficking charges against him earlier this month, a development that led to the resignation of Labor Secretary Alex Acosta. Acosta negotiated a plea deal with Epstein in an earlier case that also involved allegations of abuse of dozens of young girls at his Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida, homes. While Trump and Epstein were known to have socialized

family lived in Hyde Park, near the University of Chicago. His mother was a high school English teacher. His grandfather, James Stevens, was the founder of the Illinois Life Insurance Co. and owned the LaSalle Hotel, which Stevens’ father, Ernest, managed. His first marriage, to Elizabeth Sheeren, ended in divorce. In 1979, he married Maryan Mulholland Simon. She died in 2015. John Joseph Stevens, his son from his first marriage, was a Vietnam War veteran, and died of cancer in 1996 at 47. Stevens later recused himself from ruling on a case involving war veterans’ exposure to Agent Orange, an herbicide linked to cancer and other diseases. A daughter from his first marriage, Kathryn Jedlicka, died in 2018. Survivors include two other daughters from his first marriage, Elizabeth Jane Sesemann and Susan Roberta Mullen; nine grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren. In 1969, Stevens was chosen as counsel to a special commission investigating bribery allegations against two justices of the Illinois Supreme Court. His investigation ultimately resulted in the justices’ resignation and propelled Stevens to statewide fame. At the recommendation of U.S. Sen. Charles Percy of Illinois, a moderate Republican, President Richard Nixon appointed Stevens to the Chicago-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in November 1970. Five years later, again with the support of Percy and another Chicago friend, thenAttorney General Edward Levi, Stevens received President Gerald Ford’s nomination to replace retiring Associate Justice William Douglas on the Supreme Court. He was confirmed by the Senate 98-0 and took the oath of office on Dec. 19, 1975.

U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility, or ADX, in Florence, Colorado. Guzman’s career atop one of Mexico’s most powerful cartels came to a close only after Mexico agreed to extradite him to the United States in January 2017. His ability to escape from prison and evade capture for years underscored the deep corruption of Mexican authorities by his cartel, which employed bribery and intimidation to control not just local police departments but also the highestranking officials in the national government.

in Palm Beach, where Trump’s club is located, the president has sought to downplay the extent of their relationship and said he had a falling out with the financier and cut off their relationship 15 years ago. In the days leading up to Acosta’s resignation, Trump repeatedly said he was “not a fan” of Epstein. The video, in which Trump is 46, was shot more than a decade before Epstein pleaded guilty to felony prostitution charges in Florida. NBC News said the footage was shot for Faith Daniels’ talk show, “A Closer Look,” as part of a profile of the newly divorced Trump’s lifestyle. The network identified the women surrounding Trump at his club as cheerleaders for the Buffalo Bills, who were in town for a game against the Miami Dolphins. Trump is shown dancing

with the women as music blares and pulling one of them closer to him and then patting her on her rear end. Later in the video, Trump is shown greeting Epstein and two other new arrivals at the party, telling them, “C’mon, go inside.” Trump later appears to be pointing out women to Epstein, as he stands beside him. Though his comments are not audible, NBC News said Trump appears to be saying, “Look at her, back there. . . . She’s hot.” At another point, Trump whispers something inaudible in Epstein’s ear, and he doubles over in laughter. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the video. In a 2002 article on Epstein in New York magazine, Trump was quoted calling him a “terrific guy.”

PRATTSVILLE — The American Legion Virgil E. Deyo Post 1327 and American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327 held its annual appreciation dinner at The 1805 Tavern in Windham. Geanine and Jim Eisel were feted for their many years of ongoing support of and assistance to the veterans and the Post and the unit’s programs. Take a look at the Eisels’ “Wall of Fame” and you will get some idea of what they do for all in our area. Forty-two Legionnaires and Auxiliary members enjoyed the dinner but more importantly they enjoyed the other’s company — a true Band of Brothers including our two female Navy veterans. We thank them for their service. Bonnie, Geo and Ruth and the wait staff at The Tavern were prompt, pleasant and very accommodating. Thank you and we will be back. American Legion Honeyford Memorial Post 110, Catskill, held a 100th anniversary party July 13 in honor of being chartered on July 11, 1919.

Steve Forbert brings his band, the New Renditions, to Helsinki HUDSON — Grammy Award-nominated folk-rock singer-songwriter Steve Forbert brings his band, the New Renditions, and his distinctive folk-rock sound to Club Helsinki Hudson on Thursday, July 18, at 8 p.m. Best known for hit songs “Romeo’s Tune” and “Goin’ Down to Laurel,” Forbert was touted as a “new Dylan” when he burst upon the scene in downtown New York in the mid-1970s. Originally from Meridian, Miss., Forbert traveled to New York in 1976 and played for spare change in Grand Central Station while seeking work in the local folk venues. He quickly garnered folk club dates, but also performed at CBGB’s, the wellspring of punk-rock, where he became a favorite of the crowd for his dynamic, energetic, non-stop performances that owed as much to the Ramones as to Bob Dylan. More than four decades have passed since Steve Forbert made his way to New York City from Meridian in quest of a

career in music. It was the most unlikely time and place for a folksinger to leap into the fray in a burgeoning scene where new wave and punk were emerging. Forbert took the stage as an archetypal folkie, armed with just an acoustic guitar and sheaf of very personal songs. After busking on the street for change from passersby, he rose to sharing bills at CBGB’s with the likes of Talking Heads, the Shirts and John Cale, as well as headlining

more traditional venues such as the Bitter End and Kenny’s Castaways. Against staggering odds, he found blazing success early on with a string of critically acclaimed and commercially accepted albums including Alive on Arrival (1978), Jackrabbit Slim (1979), and Little Stevie Orbit (1980), and a most unlikely smash hit single, “Romeo’s Tune.” Simultaneous with the publication of his memoir,

Forbert released a new album, “The Magic Tree.” It offers a series of songs gleaned from previously recorded acoustic demos, augmented with new backing tracks. The collection rings with the verve and vitality that Forbert’s fans have always come to expect. It takes on special meaning in light of the recent health scare that sidelined him for several months while he recovered from kidney surgery and chemotherapy. Consistently upbeat and optimistic, the album’s songs — recorded in Meridian, Nashville, New York, New Jersey, and Virginia — convey a firm sense that age ought not diminish a lust for living. “Big City Cat” and “The Magic Tree” underscore what revered critic the late Paul Nelson wrote about Forbert in Rolling Stone almost 40 years ago: “..Nothing, nothing in this world, is going to stop Steve Forbert, and on that I’ll bet anything you’d care to wager.”

Columbia County Youth Theatre students present ‘The Three Little Pigs’ CHATHAM — Thursday 7/18 and Friday 7/19 at 7 p.m. – Columbia County Youth Theatre Summer Funshop students perform the The Three Little Pigs. The young actors range in age from 6 through 9. The family-friendly musical, co-directed by Eileen

Maloy and Billie Jo Allen with the assistance of Eva Lifsec, follows the adventures of a mother pig and her three not so little piglets. When mother pig sends her piglets off on their own, she warns them of the dangers that lie ahead. With each

personality shining through, only one little pig can outsmart the big bad wolf. This show geared toward children teaches the valuable lesson that home is a dandy place to be. Columbia County Youth Theatre will present “ The

Three Little Pigs” Thursday, July 18 and Friday, July 19 at 7 p.m. at the Chatham High School Auditorium, 50 Woodbridge Ave., Chatham. Tickets are $7 and may be purchased at the door. For more information, please visit ccyt.org or call (518) 821-2136.

AMAZING STRINGS ATTACHED: GREY FOX BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL KICKS OFF IN JULY OAK HILL — Superstar phenom Billy Strings returns as artist-in-residence, joining 40+ award-winning bluegrass acts including the Del McCoury Band, Leftover Salmon, Tommy Emmanuel and many more at the 2019 Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival from July 18-21. Always a deep and wide mix of Grammy, IBMA, CMA and AMA winners and nominees, Grey Fox presents the best of bluegrass and acoustic music. In its 35th year, Grey Fox is the largest and most established bluegrass festival in the Northeast, featuring traditional, contemporary, and progressive bluegrass to oldtime, Americana, jamgrass, Celtic, and dance music.

The festival is a homecoming every summer for campers from more than 30 states and at least a dozen countries. Held on the Walsh Farm in the bucolic Catskill Mountains, the festival has six stages, with shaded performance venues and workshop stages, along with entertainment for children and families. In all, more than 175 performances are scheduled over the festival’s four days, from Thursday through Sunday (camping gates open early on Wednesday, July 17). The lineup is always eclectic and on the cutting edge, a “Who’s Who of Bluegrass” that offers something for everyone. Bands this year also include the Earls of Leicester,

I’m With Her (Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, and Aoife O’Donovan), Tim O’Brien, Balsam Range, Steep Canyon Rangers, Molly Tuttle, the Gibson Brothers, Sierra Hull, and host band Dry Branch Fire Squad. The Travelin’ McCourys will present “A Grateful Ball,” a collaboration of the music of The Grateful Dead. GIVING BACK: Sunday is unique at Grey Fox. Admission is free with a donation to local food banks upon arrival. The day starts at 10:00am with the annual gospel show by host band, Dry Branch Fire Squad, followed by the 21st Annual Grey Fox Bluegrass Academy for Kids. Over 100 young students aged 8-17

will be performing music they have learned during the festival from some of the top instructors in the business. Donations of non-perishable pantry items or cash go to Community Action of Greene County who distributes food and supplies to area food banks. Grey Fox invites residents and visitors alike to enjoy Sunday’s musical performances and help feed needy local families. Acceptable pantry items are listed at https://cagcny.org/fooddonations. For tickets, information and a complete list of all the bands, visit the Grey Fox website at http://greyfoxbluegrass.com.

When you help the homeless, greed is good By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

French-Canadian filmmaker Denys Arcand probably thinks he did us a favor by couching his social jabs inside the crime caper “The Fall of the American Empire,” his 10th feature as a director. Arcand, who is 78, has the kind of screen currency that can salvage bad scenes and smooth over bad staging, but no degree of reputation can rescue “Empire.” The screenplay, written by Arcand, is awful. The story, a followup to “The Decline of the American Empire” (1989), is pointless and laughably farfetched. The movie gets no help from a protagonist that we’re meant to care about even as he makes an endless series of idiotic, self-destructive choices. Pierre-Paul (Alexandre Landry) has a doctorate in philosophy, but he works as a courier delivery man in Montreal. He blunders into a bank robbery that goes horribly wrong, and two large bags of money are lying in the street. So what does this supposedly intelligent young man do? He grabs the bags, shoves them into the back of his delivery truck and drives

Director Denys Arcand instructs the cast of ‘The Fall of the American Empire’.

off before the police arrive. Even if you’ve never stolen millions from a heist gone bad, you probably should know that there was more to the robbery than meets the eye. And even if you grab the dough out of some incredible mix of greed and altruism, you might have the smarts to expect the crooks and the cops to be after you. The script is weak, the premise absurd and the protagonist is

a self-pitying dilettante. Arcand has three strikes against him in the first 30 minutes yet he manages to make things worse. The robbery scenes are poorly staged and the shifts in tone are comically unconvincing, as when our hero hires a money launderer just out of prison to be his financial adviser. “Empire” tries to pull off an overlap between the consequences of the failed heist and

deplorable social conditions. But Pierre-Paul is driven by multiple motives, and they’re inconsistent from scene to scene. He is bent on living the good life and hires a beautiful, high-class prostitute named Aspasie (Maripier Morin) to satisfy his sexual needs. But he also volunteers to help the homeless and wants to do something good with the money. He’d like to put the Montreal police in their place and have a normalized relationship with Aspasie. He breaks up with his loyal but exasperated girlfriend and tries to show genuine feeling for a woman he pays for sex. And the movie frequently grinds to a halt when Pierre-Paul (or somebody) gets on a soapbox about some issue. Pierre-Paul is such a nebbishy, indistinct personality that he can do or say anything in any scene and have it make some kind of sense, which seldom happens. He isn’t admirable or sympathetic. He gives us no reason to want him to succeed, yet you don’t want to see him fail. He’s a big cipher at the center of a cloddish, fatally overlong movie that has nothing to say and keeps on saying it.

CALENDAR LISTINGS TSL Movies July 18 - July 25 n Echo in the Canyon — This documentary celebrates the explosion of music that came out of Los Angeles’s Laurel Canyon in the mid-60s as folk went electric and The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, and The Mamas and the Papas gave birth to the California Sound. Features candid conversations and performances with Brian Wilson, Michelle Phillips, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Graham Nash, Jackson Browne, Tom Petty (in his last film interview), and more. 2018. 1h22m. n Van Gogh and Japan: Exhibition on Screen — Presented by Exhibition on Screen. One cannot understand Van Gogh without understanding how Japanese art arrived in Paris in the middle of the 19th century and the profound impact it had on artists like Monet, Degas and, above all, Van Gogh. He visited the new galleries of Japanese art in Paris and created his own image of Japan through in-depth research, print collecting, and detailed discussions with other artists. In this little known story of Van Gogh’s art we see just how important his study of Japan was. The film travels not only to France and the Netherlands but also to Japan to further explore the remarkable heritage that so affected Van Gogh and made him the artist we know of today. 2019. 1h25m. n Toni Morrison: The pieces that I am — An artful and intimate meditation on the life and works of the legendary storyteller and Nobel prize-winner. From her childhood in the steel town of Lorain, Ohio, to ‘70s-era book tours with Muhammad Ali, from the front lines with Angela Davis to her own riverfront writing room, Toni Morrison leads an assembly of her peers, critics, and colleagues on an exploration of race, America, history, and the human condition as seen through the prism of her own literature. Inspired to write because no one took a “little black girl” seriously, Morrison reflects on her lifelong deconstruction of the master narrative. Woven together with a rich collection of art, history, literature, and personality, the film includes discussions about her many critically acclaimed works, including novels The Bluest Eye, Sula, and Song of Solomon, her role as an editor of iconic African-American literature and her time teaching at Princeton University. 2019. 2h. 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 Nureyev — This striking documentary traces the extraordinary life of Russian ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, the most famous male dancer who transcended fame in the dance world to become a pop culture icon. The film charts his rise from humble beginnings, to his eventual defection to the West, an event that shocked the world. The film also features never-beforeseen footage and contextualizes not just the man, but the times in which he lived, discussing the politically charged divide between Russia and the West and the critical role that Nureyev played as a cultural and global phenomenon. 2018. 1h50m. 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 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.

Blackout: When the lights went out in 1977 Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer! They’re finally here, and I already hear the complaints. Even from those who promised NOT to complain about the heat after those long weeks of frigid weather. Can we EVER be satisfied? Even the rain: too much, too little. I prefer it to rain, gently, overnight, so my garden can be naturally watered. Those in the lawn-mowing business wish it would rain in the early evening and be dry overnight so they can mow while it’s cool out. We are such a persnickity species. Another bear sighting. Neil Anderson had a large bear on his porch the other day. Keep your eyes open, and trash under cover. The North Settlement Church was open Sunday for services and again next month on Aug. 18. We, as a community, are trying to keep the old churches in good repair and need your help. The summer services, both in North Settlement and in Mitchell Hollow, are to keep it an active parish, but we need donations to keep up with the repairs. Attending one, or all, services would be great, but you may send in donations to help the repair fund. Judy Lamanec is the contact person for Mitchell Hollow, and Louise LeBrun is contact for North Settlement. Good to see Gail Mulford and her family back in the Mountains. A great place to call home.

ASHLAND SPEAKS

LULA

ANDERSON I hear some graduation parties are still being held. Congrats to those who partied over the weekend. A busy week at the Hudecek residence. On Thursday, Rose had the family come for an extended visit. Marty, Joan, daughter Stacey, and her daughters, Kelsey and Raury Richardson, with cousins Chloe and Claire Jenks, came via RV to set up camp along the creek. Following close behind were Karen Hudecek Jenks with her husband, Tyler, and Janet Hudecek. Susan Hitchcock heard Janet was coming so she came from East Jewett to pay them a visit. On Friday, Jay LoPresti came up and David had the day off from his job, so it was a big family-dinner party. The occasion was Marty and Joan’s 50th wedding anniversary (and David’s birthday July 14). Anthony and Tricia just returned from Ireland and London so they couldn’t make it in person, but through

the magic of Facetime, they got to be included. Of course, the girls had to go to Conifer Lake to jump and splash. One of the residents let the girls use a floating “island,” so that doubled the fun. Bill and Barbara Mead say they enjoy hearing the sounds of the laughter and splashing. Marty and Joan had to leave on Monday as they will be entertaining Mr. and Mrs. Fred LeBrun during the week. It’s nice to hear of WAJ classmates still getting together. I guess my article on ice cream parlors brought out the sweet spot in many memories. Did you know in 1984 President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month? National Ice Cream Month is held every year in July throughout the United States. President Reagan also named the third Sunday in July as National Ice Cream Day. President Reagan stated that these two events should be observed with “appropriate ceremonies and activities.” In the U.S. 90% of the nation’s population consumes ice cream...I scream, you scream, we all ‘SCREAM’ for ice cream! Hope Restoration Christian Fellowship had its first Friday Family Game Night on July 12. Available was free pizza and games — board games, word games, corn hole, kan jam and more! Or bring your favorite game. A good time was had by all. Mark your calendars for the following dates: July 26, Aug. 9 and

23. Everyone is invited. The sale at the Ashland Church is continuing, at least through the end of the weekend. I would like to continue until all is gone, but will see. We still have plenty of goodies and it seems that more show up every day. Even if you’ve already been by, you might want to stop and check out our new inventory. On July 21, the Masons will hold their summer picnic at the Lodge, Main Street, Windham. For information call Bob Rhodes. Have you seen the “Crazy Chicken” has shown up, again, on the intersections leading to Jewett? Don’t forget Aug.10 is the day of the Jewett Fire Department Brooks chicken barbecue. That is such a busy day, starting with the WRIP anniversary celebration at WAJ. While you’re attending that, go inside for the Patchworkers Quilt Show in the school. There’s a $3 admission, but all proceeds go to local food pantries. By that time you’ll be hungry and the smell of the chicken will lead you right up the mountain to the Jewett firehouse and church hall. Family and friends of Ivan and Gertrude DeHoff will be gathering at the Maplecrest Cemetery, Maplecrest at 2 p.m. July 28, for a brief graveside service. Ivan and Gertie were longtime residents of the Maplecrest community before moving to a retirement village in Gerry in 1989. The service is open to the public.

AS I REMEMBER IT Where were you when the lights went out in 1977? In “honor” of the anniversary, New York City had another blackout Saturday night starting at 7 p.m. and lasting until at least midnight. Scary! Many were stuck in subways, elevators, theaters and apartments. We have becomes so dependent on the electric grid that it becomes harder to function without it. In 1977, the store owners just pulled the security gates on their stores shut, cranked up the awnings, opened their cash registers to cash out, and went home. Now, everything is push button. The security gates could not be closed, and cash registers didn’t open. How many still pay by cash? No electric, no swiping your card. People couldn’t get food at a restaurant because they had no way to pay. Theaters on Broadway went dark, people were ushered out into the streets to do what? A refund was (electronically) issued to the patrons, but what about

the people who were in town for a vacation? They had nothing to do with their time, except climb all of the stairs to their room. No traffic lights meant traffic congestion. Remember when ALL police and security knew how to direct traffic? Remember when we knew how to follow their motions? When the electricity goes out up here in the mountains we moan and groan, carp and complain, but go outside, start up our generators, and continue with life as before. Even those without generators can survive very nicely with supplies that are always in stock. In the summer, we open doors and windows for natural cooling, maybe go out and sit on our porches or in our backyards looking at the moon and the stars, and counting fireflies as they light up the night sky. We can start up our gas grills, or lay a fire in our firepit and cook a meal, even if it’s just hot dogs on a stick. Without electricity, and the constant background noise of the television, we can hear the bull frogs hurrumping in the swamp and the sounds of the night animals and birds. As I watch the stories about the city and the result of the blackout, and I compare it to life in the ‘70s, I wonder if, with all of the modern technology, are we really ahead? Or, should we take a small step backwards and prepare ourselves for emergencies like this?

Storm post HRCBL win over Bucks Columbia-Greene Media

GREENPORT — The Hudson River Collegiate Baseball league continues to plan on in the high heat of the summer. On Monday afternoon, the Storm took down the Bucks, 7-5. The Storm had a lot of bats working well for them with nine players making contact to go along with as a solid outing from pitcher Connor Christensen. The Storm team was led by Matt Ferreiro, who was 2 for 4, including a double, a single and one RBI. Joe Dwy, Noah Valvo and Christian Boaki all contributed two singles each. Boaki also contributed an RBI. Kurt Forsell, Chris Colotti (who led the team in RBI with two), Brandon Bonesteel and Jeremiah Ernest all contributed a hit as well. Kyle Caccimis added a double. “The team put together 13 hits,” Storm coach and organizer of the Hudson River Collegiate Baseball League Ed DuPont said. “Everyone played hard and we came out on top.” Though they lost, the Bucks were not short of hitters either. Ethan Foster led the team going 4 for 5 with four singles and one RBI. Maki Medici hit two for two with a double, a single and one RBI, Dan Bullock had two singles and one RBI and Ethan Caiazza, Chris Kordziel, Josh Hall, and Taconic Hills’ Ryan Nowak all

Nets GM sees chance of Durant playing in upcoming season Greg Logan Newsday

For the second time in a week, Sean Marks left the door open to the notion of Kevin Durant recovering from his ruptured right Achilles tendon at some point during the 201920 season, but the Nets general manager was careful to stress

that the Nets won’t put him at risk and the ultimate decision will be Durant’s. Marks made his comments Tuesday in a WFAN interview with host Evan Roberts, and he echoed the sentiments he expressed a week earlier in a See DURANT B6

Mariano Rivera reflects on his path to Cooperstown James O’Connell New York Daily News

NEW YORK — After nearly two decades of shattering bats, Mariano Rivera is prepared to take his place in baseball immortality. The 49-year-old will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday. The all-time leader in saves is the first player to receive 100% of the vote and be inducted as a unanimous Hall of Famer. “No, I’m not used to it (being the first unanimous player voted in),” Rivera said Tuesday at a special event Delta held for the soon-to-be Hall of Famer at JFK airport. Being inducted into the Hall of Fame allows players to look back on their careers and reflect on their path to greatness. Some take a different road than others, but they all (mostly) eventually end up in Cooperstown. “I’m just happy and humbled that I’m one of the boys,” Rivera continued. “It is crazy, I don’t know how to react, I don’t know what to expect because that will not make me a better person, that won’t make my life easier or worse. It’s just something the Lord has blessed me with.” When Rivera came up to the big leagues in 1995, he was classified as a starting pitcher and went 5-3 with a 5.51 ERA. Even he couldn’t imagine what would come next. “If I tell you yes, I’d be lying,” Rivera said. “I couldn’t have seen this, I was just happy to be in the big leagues and fighting to stay.”

Rivera has always been a pay-it-forward kind of person. The five-time World Series champion still gives pitching advice to current pitchers

just as he did when he was a player. Even when opponents reached out for his help, Rivera made his perfect mechanics and

devastating cutter available for instruction, including a player that will join Rivera in his Hall of Fame class. “I remember that my guys got upset with me when I was helping Doc (Roy) Halladay and teaching him the cutter,” Rivera said of the late ace. “My guys were furious with me, (they would say) ‘why would you teach him that thing?’ “ But the 13-time All-Star explained he merely wanted everyone, no matter who it was, to share the same success he did and he has been more than proud to do so. As a child who grew up in Panama, Rivera went to unimaginable limits just to play the game he loves. This included creating his own equipment, such as a bat, a glove, and even a baseball, with whatever material he could find — his baseball glove was made out of a milk carton. He hopes his story — becoming the greatest relief-pitcher of all-time was the work of a self-made man — serves as inspiration and motivation not just for young athletes, but for all younger generations. When Rivera takes flight for Cooperstown, he will be doing so by boarding a plane at Gate B42 in Terminal 4 of the airport, which was renamed for him Tuesday during the special ceremony with Delta. The company also unveiled a plaque at the terminal and a sticker on a Delta See RIVERA B6

The day Rory McIlroy broke through John Clarke The New York Times News Service

Rory McIlroy was just 16 years old when he broke the course record at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland, home to the British Open this year. He shot a 61. It was that round at the 2005 North of Ireland Championship — highlighted by nine birdies and one eagle — that ignited his career. It was the announcement to the golf world that he had arrived. “It was unbelievable and surreal how someone managed to shoot such a low score — he was only 16,” Gary McNeill, the Royal Portrush club pro who was there that day, said in an interview. “Everyone was shocked,” he said. “It was a special day and a signal that this kid was something. Lots of kids have something but rarely amount to much. He was impressive in the way he was able to maintain that concentration and focus. He was fearless. That’s one of the things that all the great players have.” Stephen Crowe was McIlroy’s partner that day. “It started off steady enough,” he said. “I was thinking it was going to be a solid round but nothing special. Then from nowhere he went from 2-under to 6-under. “At that stage, word was getting out. He always had a crowd around him, but that day the crowd got bigger as he got more birdies.” McIlroy also knew he had done something special. “I was still lying in my bed

last night thinking about it,” he told reporters the next day. “To shoot 61 anywhere is unbelievable, but to shoot it round Royal Portrush is even better.” Fourteen years later, McIlroy still remembers that day. “There are not many golf runs that I remember every shot, but that day I do,” he said in a recent interview released by the tournament. He remembers missing a putt at the first hole for a birdie. Driving a 6-iron onto the green at the second, where he two-putted for a birdie; and the birdie he made on the par-3

sixth hole. He remembers his wedge shot on the par-5 ninth and the eagle on 10. With a birdie on the 11th, he was 6-under. “At that point I realized I was doing something special,” he said. Five birdies followed. At the 17th hole, there was a wait as players gathered at the tee. McIlroy stepped away to take some practice swings. “I think I had probably caught myself thinking about it a little too much,” he said. “I wanted to go clear my head a bit and start afresh with a new golf shot.”

McIlroy returned to the tee and hit a perfect drive, followed by a long iron to the front right side of the green and a two-putt for birdie. He closed out the round with a final birdie and carded a 61, breaking the previous course record of 64 set by Randal Evans in 2002. “That confidence I had and the cockiness at 16,” he said. “Sometimes, I need to rediscover that.” Royal Portrush has two links courses: the Dunluce Links and Valley Links. The British Open, which starts Thursday, will be played on Dunluce, on

a par-72, 7,317-yard track designed by Harry Colt. Royal Portrush previously hosted the British Open in 1951. The club also held the Irish Open in 2012, where McIlroy tied at 10 with 11-under. It has changed slightly since his course record, with golf architect Martin Ebert updating it to meet championship standards. McIlroy played the front nine last Saturday, including the new seventh and eighth holes. “He just played them all alone,” said McNeill, the club pro. “He was really excited. He was buzzing.” McIlroy called the new eighth hole, a par-4 at 430 yards, “a huge improvement.” There are two bunkers to contend with. “You have two options,” he said. “You can take the bunkers out of play short or you can take the bunkers out of play long. Most guys lay back.” McIlroy played long. He recognized the pressure to perform for hometown crowds. “In my lifetime, I never thought I’d get to play an Open championship at home in Northern Ireland,” he said recently. “It’s going to be massive. That week has been earmarked for a long time. It’s going to be one of those weeks where I have to enjoy the opportunity of getting to play in front of my hometown, not trying too hard, not putting myself under a lot of pressure. Just to go out and enjoy it, because it might be the only time I get to do it.”

Woodland remains ‘the other guy’ at British Open Sam Farmer Los Angeles Times

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Since winning the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach last month, Gary Woodland is getting recognized a lot more in public. But at times, he’s still relatively anonymous. Woodland went to breakfast in Portrush this week with tour veteran Matt Kuchar and decidedly was “the other guy.” “I took about 20 pictures for him,” Woodland said. “Nobody knew who I was; they all knew who he was. He loved every second of that, I can tell you.” Then again, Woodland is a lot more famous now than he was before Pebble Beach. He was feted in his hometown of Topeka, Kan., after that victory, and about 3,500 people showed up. “That was pretty cool,” he said. “Especially for my family, growing up there. My family has been there forever; they still live there. That was special.” And then there’s the U.S. Open trophy, which Woodland scarcely has let out of his sight. “It’s been very close to me the last month,” he said. Very close. As in, on his nightstand. “Yeah, the nightstand, so I can see it,” he said. “You want to wake up and make sure it’s not a dream. You want to make sure it’s real.” He was going to let his parents keep it this week while he’s in Northern Ireland. Instead, he left it with his wife, Gabby, who is expecting twin daughters and is supposed to be resting at home. “Our girls are supposed to come in two weeks,” he said. “So it was a decision. We sat down and we talked about it. And she was the one pushing me to come. Pretty confident they’re not going to come this week, but you never know. I’m hoping that’s the case. “Next week, Memphis is only an hour away from home. I can get home pretty easily. It would be a little tough if they came right now; I’m not going to be able to get home.”

FOREBODING SKIES

The sun has been out quite a bit in recent days, but the clouds rolled in Tuesday, threatening to turn Portrush into a much more challenging course. The forecast for Wednesday calls for overcast and breezy weather with outbreaks of rain and drizzle throughout the day. Gusts are expected to reach 20-25 mph at mid-morning and into the early afternoon. “You never know what the Open is going to bring,” said England’s Tommy Fleetwood, who is looking to win his first major. “I am trying to get a 2019 Open Championship umbrella — and that will go in the bag.”

NEW PHONE; WHO IS THIS? Most of the players don’t know a lot about Royal Portrush, which hasn’t hosted the British Open in 68 years. So they’re looking for any morsels of information on the course. That makes Portrush member Ricky Elliott a man in demand; no one knows the course better. The problem? Elliott is the caddie for Brooks Koepka, who has won four majors in a little more than two years, tied for second at the Masters, and was alone in second at last month’s U.S. Open. “Tell you a funny story,” Tiger Woods said Tuesday. “I texted Brooksie, ‘Congratulations on another great finish.’ What he’s done in the last four major championships has been just unbelievable. To be so consistent, so solid. He’s been in contention to win each and every major championship. And I said, ‘Hey, dude, do you mind if I tag along and play a practice round?’ “ Then, Woods smiled broadly and said, “I’ve heard nothing.”

there’s no doubt,” said 2013 U.S. Open winner Justin Rose, who grew up in England. “I think that aggressive style of golf that they’ve been playing

has sort of contributed to that. Obviously, Brooks has had a fair few of those. So he’s obviously on an awesome run.

“But other than that, I don’t really think there’s a reason why. ... Hopefully that’s a nice run, and hopefully it’s coming to an end.”

LeBron James Jr. is 14 and already draws curious crowds Billy Witz The New York Times News Service

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — College basketball’s familiar faces — Mike Krzyzewski, John Calipari, Roy Williams, Tom Izzo, Jay Wright and on and on — convened last week at a recreation center here in South Carolina, as they have for years in mid-July, to scout the best high school talent in the country. But none of them were present for the biggest draw on Court 5 one day last week at the Peach Jam tournament, where hundreds of spectators lined up three hours before an afternoon game that featured players 15 and younger. The crowd squeezed into the court’s wooden bleachers and the balcony above — standing five deep and eventually drawing the attention of the local fire marshal — to get an early glimpse at a player who has not yet entered high school. He does, however, have a household name: LeBron James Jr. While college coaches bided their time to get a peek at LeBron Jr., who goes by Bronny, others could not wait. Dozens of fans rose, cellphones aloft, each time he shot a 3-pointer, and the games carried an unusual degree of intensity, even for showcases that sort out the pecking orders of adolescent alpha dogs. When Team Final, a group based in Philadelphia, had beaten Strive for Greatness, with Bronny on a roster of players from California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada, the celebration was so vigorous that one expected confetti to drift down from the rafters. As the final seconds ticked away, Enai White,

a 6-foot-5 forward who will be a sophomore this fall at Imhotep Institute Charter in Philadelphia, waved his arms at the fans behind his bench to get them to cheer even louder. “It was crazy,” Enai said of the atmosphere. “I’ve never seen nothing like this for a 15-U AAU game.” He smiled. “I’m not going to lie,” he added. “It made me feel like a little celeb.” If there was anyone in the gym who seemed to greet the environment with a shrug, it was the young James himself. At 14 he was one of the youngest on the court, but he was also often the most composed — calmly passing the ball out of traps, stepping in to break up a confrontation that resulted in double technicals, and in one game looking unperturbed as he listened to chants of “overrated” while he stood at the foul line in the final minute. (He missed both free throws, but that has been known to happen.) Paul Biancardi, an ESPN recruiting analyst and a former college coach, said Bronny’s poise was not much different from his father’s when he was a high school phenomenon. “He’s been taught by the absolute best,” said Biancardi, who as an assistant at Ohio State had recruited LeBron James. Though James did not attend the tournament, two of his close friends did; Chris Paul and James’ former teammate Mike Miller each watched Bronny play. At one game, Paul sat next to James’ wife, Savannah, and the couple’s young daughter in a

corner of the gym that was near an exit and well fortified by security guards. Bronny’s grandmother and other members of the family circle watched, too. (One of Bronny’s games last summer had to be shut down because of a fan who was heckling James, which may have explained why there was also a security guard stationed on the Strive for Greatness bench.) “He’s been well prepared for this — as well as anyone can,” Miller said. “It’s been a group effort, by his mom, his grandmother, the whole family.” Bronny, who is listed as 6 feet 2 inches, resembles his father in many ways: His smile, facial expressions and slightly duckfooted gait are familiar — as are his pass-first sensibilities, which is a largely recessive trait in the grassroots basketball world. And yet there are signs that he is his own young man — his tinted hair is grown out more than his father’s ever has been, he wears the uniform No. 0 (not his father’s 23 or 6), and he can skillfully juggle a basketball with his feet. In this orbit, Bronny is more complementary player than chosen one. Though his jump shot is much more refined than his father’s at a similar age, his physical gifts are playing catch-up with many of the elite players his age. James lamented last year that he had passed his name on to his eldest child, though his intentions were honorable. “When I was younger, I didn’t have a dad,” he said on “The Shop,” his HBO show. “So my whole thing was like, whenever I have a kid, not only is he going to be a Junior, I’m going to do everything that this man didn’t do.”

James is not shy about sharing stories of his children on social media, which might explain why Bronny has 2.7 million followers on Instagram. There were other scions in this tournament, which featured 15-, 16-, and 17-and-under divisions: Kenny Lofton Jr., Jamal Mashburn Jr., Larry Hughes Jr., Adrian Griffin Jr. and the grandson of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Their careers may be tracked by the basketball cognoscenti who filled the small gyms, but those who attended Bronny’s games — or hoped to — were largely fellow teenagers. When security guards closed the doors to the gym before Bronny’s final game here, they slammed shut on Mark Abduo, 21, and the four high school players he had driven down from Pittsburgh to watch the tournament. They had skipped lunch and waited three hours in line to get in. “They need to change the location,” Abduo said. “The next four years, it’s just going to get bigger and bigger.” That much seems certain. Bronny will enroll as a freshman this fall at Sierra Canyon, a private school in the Chatsworth neighborhood of Los Angeles, where he will join Dwyane Wade’s son Zaire on the basketball team. At the moment, among his peers — gangly and still developing — Bronny seems a good player among more talented ones. “Definitely a Division I player,” Biancardi said, be it Duke or Duquesne. That will be determined with time, he said — and plenty of people watching.

2019 preseason Heisman Trophy watch Nick Klopsis Newsday

With the 2019 college football season just around the corner, here’s a look at which players could take home the Heisman Trophy, given annually to the most outstanding player in college football. — Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama, QB, Jr. Last year’s Heisman runnerup threw for 3,966 yards, 43 touchdowns and six interceptions and ran for five scores in 15 games. Tagovailoa led last year’s Heisman watch for most of the season, but an ankle sprain slowed him down in the final weeks. — Trevor Lawrence, Clemson, QB, Soph. Lawrence had a sensational freshman season with 3,280 yards, 30 touchdowns and four interceptions — including a 347-yard, three-score performance in the national championship game — despite splitting time with Kelly Bryant for Clemson’s first five games. — Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin, RB, Jr. Taylor rushed for 2,194 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2018, a year after bursting onto the scene as a freshman with 1,977

yards and 13 scores. He’ll remain the focal point of Wisconsin’s offense with Jack Coan a potential candidate to start under center. — Jake Fromm, Georgia, QB, Jr. Fromm has been one of the nation’s top quarterbacks since taking over as the starter at Georgia in his freshman season. He’s coming off of a sophomore year in which he threw for 2,761 yards, 30 touchdowns and six interceptions in 14 games. — Justin Herbert, Oregon, QB, Sr. Herbert returned to school after a junior season that saw him throw for 3,141 yards, 29 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 13 games. He’ll have some consistency this year, with all but one player returning on offense for Oregon. — Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma, QB, Sr. A quarterback who transferred to Oklahoma has won the Heisman in each of the last two seasons. Can Jalen Hurts follow in Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray’s footsteps? Hurts, who transferred from Alabama after graduating a year early, put up strong numbers in each of his first two seasons with the

Crimson Tide before being supplanted by Tua Tagovailoa as the starter. — Travis Etienne, Clemson, RB, Jr. Trevor Lawrence grabbed most of the headlines, but Etienne was a crucial cog in Clemson’s offense, rushing for an ACC-best 1,658 yards and an NCAA-best 24 touchdowns in 15 games. His 7.2 yards per carry led the ACC and were third in the nation. In the past 10 seasons, only two running backs have won the Heisman. — Justin Fields, Ohio State,

QB, Soph. Fields, a dual-threat quarterback with a strong arm, was one of the jewels of the 2018 recruiting class alongside Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence. However, he saw little playing time as a freshman at Georgia and transferred to Ohio State to replace Heisman finalist Dwayne Haskins. He’s able to play immediately due to an NCAA ruling. — Sam Ehlinger, Texas, QB, Jr. Ehlinger took a big step forward in his first season as the Longhorns’ starter, throwing

for 3,292 yards, 25 touchdowns and five interceptions while rushing for 482 yards and 16 touchdowns in 14 games. If Texas is in contention for the Big 12 title — and especially if he has a big game against Oklahoma on Oct. 12 — Ehlinger’s name could get some buzz. — Adrian Martinez, Nebraska, QB, Soph. Martinez is a trendy preseason pick thanks to his dualthreat ability (2,617 passing yards, 629 rushing yards, 25 total touchdowns as a freshman) and his projected growth under Cornhuskers head coach Scott Frost, who helped make McKenzie Milton a Heisman contender at UCF. However, Nebraska will need to greatly improve on its 4-8 record for Martinez to be in serious consideration. — D’Andre Swift, Georgia, RB, Jr. Swift rushed for 1,049 yards and 10 touchdowns last year while splitting time in the Bulldogs’ backfield last year with Elijah Holyfield, but now he has the featured back role to himself. — Najee Harris, Alabama, RB, Jr. Harris rushed for only 783

yards and four touchdowns last year as part of the Crimson Tide’s tailback committee, but he takes over as the lead runner in the Alabama offense after the departures of Damien Harris and Josh Jacobs. — AJ Dillon, Boston College, RB, Jr. Injuries led to a down year for Dillon in 2018, as he only rushed for 1,108 yards and 10 touchdowns after a 1,589-yard, 14-touchdown freshman season. He’ll need to return to that 2017 form and keep Boston College near the top of the ACC to keep his name in the conversation. — Rondale Moore, Purdue, WR, Soph. Only two receivers ever have won the Heisman: Tim Brown (1987) and Desmond Howard (1991). Both of them did more than just catch passes, though, meaning any wideout who hopes to earn an invite to Manhattan in December likely will need to follow suit. Enter Moore, who led the nation with 114 catches, was third in all-purpose yards (1,258 receiving, 213 rushing, 744 return) and scored 14 touchdowns (12 receiving, two rushing) in 13 games — all as a freshman.

Fox Sports banking on Urban Meyer being down with coaching Teddy Greenstein Chicago Tribune

The last TV series Urban Meyer watched was “Seinfeld.” “Before that,” he says, “ ‘Cheers.’ “ The guy’s knowledge of pop culture probably rivals yours of the Flex defense. Keep that in mind when you read this tale: After building a new college football pregame show to rival ESPN’s “College GameDay,” Fox Sports President Mark Silverman gathered his “dream team” in Los Angeles for some bonding. Meyer and Reggie Bush joined Silverman and Fox Sports executive Billy Wanger for a round of golf at Bel-Air Country Club. A club member began pointing out some of the celebrity mansions along the holes: Audrey Hepburn, Mary Tyler Moore, Elon Musk. Bush was playing out of his mind, making birdies and crushing 300-yard drives. With Bush on the tee, Meyer remembered how his daughter Nicki sometimes refers to herself as Nicki Kardashian. So he asked: “Does Kim Kardashian have a home around here?” Bush turned around, incredulous. The others cracked up. “They’re dying laughing,” Meyer recalls. “I said: What’s so funny? I don’t get it.” Bush said they had dated for more than two years. “You dated Kim Kardashian?” Meyer replied. Bush’s next drive went sideways. “You totally ruined my round,” he told Meyer. “Why’d you bring that up?” Meyer said he was just trying to make conversation. “Honestly I had no idea,” he says now. “Oops.” Meyer is trading in a headset for an earpiece. On fall Saturdays he will report to a studio rather than a stadium. Health issues have driven him from coaching. Sound familiar? It should. In 2011, after he stepped away from Florida, Meyer worked as an analyst for ESPN. He was as stiff as the shaft in Bush’s driver. “I think he was still in the coaching mode, in between jobs,” Silverman said. “Now this is what he is

focused on. I’ve noticed a looseness and an enjoyment. He’s coachable. And I think these guys will bring out a side of Urban that people have not seen.” Silverman first worked with Meyer as president of the Big Ten Network, calling him “hyperfocused.” Now the man who won two national championships at Florida and one at Ohio State and went 54-4 in Big Ten games with the Buckeyes wants to be great at broadcasting. “If you talk to him,” Silverman says, “he is done with coaching.” “Done” is a strong word. Meyer, who turned 55 this month, is a competition junkie. He acknowledged that the transition from coaching to working at Fox and at Ohio State as an assistant athletic director has not been easy. He stepped down because of debilitating headaches resulting from a cyst in his brain — and his fervent desire to have Ryan Day succeed him, giving stability to the program and its employees.

“I miss the players,” he says. “I miss the greater good, which is team. But I have the greater good too. Family, grandchildren.” Will he ever coach again? Meyer says he believes he will not. (Bush told the Los Angeles Times in April he would “definitely” recruit Meyer to take over at USC if Clay Helton gets fired.) Meyer gave Silverman enough of an assurance to prompt Fox to push forward with an aggressive hiring spree. Host Rob Stone will sit with Meyer, Bush, Matt Leinart and Brady Quinn. David Letterman’s Netflix series is called “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.” This is the college football equivalent. “Once Urban indicated a strong interest,” Silverman says, “we asked: Who is our dream team? We wanted big names, people known for major accomplishments in the last 10 to 15 years.” Meyer says of Bush, Leinart and

Quinn: “They’re young. They’re great people. They’re very relevant in the current era of college football. There’s nice spacing ... the West Coast, Notre Dame, Ohio State. NFL backgrounds. Two quarterbacks. We get along fantastic, text each other and stay in touch. “The model they use is the NFL team. I’ve been really studying them.” Fox features six voices for its “NFL Sunday” show: Terry Bradshaw, Curt Menefee, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and reporter Jay Glazer. “I got to spend a lot of time with them,” Meyer says. “(Fox Sports CEO) Eric Shanks has done a really nice job creating a family.” What advice do they give? “You have to have fun, be yourself and create the environment that (viewers) are sitting there having a beer with you, watching football.” Joel Klatt, who smashed records as Colorado’s quarterback from 2003 to ‘05, has mastered the transition.

His comfort on camera is such that Fox also uses him for its coverage of the U.S. Open. Asked what he believes it will take for Meyer to succeed, Klatt says: “If he is fully committed, I think he will do a great job. The transition for any coach or player is to be willing to praise and criticize — whether it’s teams, players or other coaches — without in the back of their mind thinking: How does this play in those venues? It’s the point of demarcation.” I read the quote to Meyer and asked if he would be able to do that this fall. He paused. “I hear that all the time, and I don’t necessarily agree with all that,” he said. “I’m going to focus on the game, the performance and that’s it. There’s nothing personal. It seems everyone wants to ask that question: Can you be critical? “Being personal, taking shots at players or coaches, that will not happen. However, I can be critical of a moment, decision-making and those type of things. My job is to analyze. If to be a great sportscaster, you have to hammer people, then I’m in the wrong ... I have no intent to do that. Have too much respect for college athletes, college coaches and livelihoods. If that is the death knell to being a good broadcaster ... “But there are great ones (who don’t). Jon Gruden was fantastic. (Kirk) Herbstreit does a great job. I think Joel Klatt’s awesome. I’ve dealt with those guys a lot. I’m not sure the loudest and nastiest is the ... I know there are people out there who do that. But I’m not sure that’s really what people want, to be honest with you.” Fox executives believe people do enjoy hearing the analysts bust one another’s chops, as Strahan and Long do on the NFL show. So you might hear Leinart remind Quinn that he never won a national title. Or Quinn ask Leinart if he ever gets to the gym. Or Bush ask Quinn for the final score of the 2005 “Bush Push” game in South Bend. And if Meyer wants to get under Bush’s skin, he can always say: “Remember that time at Bel-Air?”

NEW YORK — It wasn’t quite the haul that the Knicks expected when they planned how to spend the $70 million in cap space with which they entered the free-agent market, but they finished off their summer spending Tuesday with the announcement that they had completed deals with Marcus Morris and Reggie Bullock. The two joined five other free-agent acquisitions — Julius Randle, Bobby Portis, Taj Gibson, Elfrid Payton and Wayne Ellington — who will try to boost the fortunes of the Knicks, coming off a league-worst 17-65 record. The Knicks also added rookies RJ Barrett and Ignas Brazdeikis and picked up the team option on Damyean Dotson to complete the 15 roster spots. They also tipped their cap space to the limit. The focus for the Knicks once they failed in the pursuit of stars was to limit

the deals to short-term contracts, and all of them except Randle will have a team option for the second season. Randle has two guaranteed years and a third-year option. That hardly sounds like the fantasy basketball summer that the Knicks hoped for, as they failed to even get a meeting with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving or Kawhi Leonard. “With Reggie and Marcus we are adding two more versatile, hard-nosed and accomplished players to an already improved roster,” Knicks general manager Scott Perry said in a statement. “We value both players’ perimeter shooting ability and their strong presence on the court and in the locker room. We’re excited to have them in New York and are confident they will excel playing for this team under Coach (David) Fizdale.” Instead, the Knicks added four players who are mainly power forwards — Randle, Portis, Gibson and Morris.

never take you guys lightly. If we were up 10 with two minutes to go, we knew that didn’t mean anything against Brooklyn.’ “That’s a real credit to the competitive environment (coach) Kenny (Atkinson) has really brought.” Some have wondered how Atkinson’s demanding style will mesh with Kyrie Irving, the other top-tier free agent signed by the Nets. Irving had problems last season with Celtics coach Brad Stevens and some of his young teammates, but Marks said Irving will have a clean slate with the Nets. “First and foremost,” Marks

they acquired a point guard who will be on his fourth team in six seasons and who will try to challenge Dennis Smith Jr. for the starting position. Ellington and Bullock will compete for wing minutes with the two players the Knicks have taken with their lottery picks in the last two drafts, Kevin Knox and Barrett. Bullock originally agreed to a twoyear, $21 million deal, but settled for signing into the Knicks’ room exception, starting at $4.8 million with a team option for the second season. The Knicks balked at the original deal when an undisclosed health issue came up, and it is expected to cause Bullock to miss time this season. But it also conveniently created an opening for Morris to join the Knicks. Morris had a deal in place with the Spurs for two years and $20 million, but backed out before signing it when the Knicks opened up the cap room to give him a one-year deal worth $14.8 million.

This is how we’re going to play; this is our system ... within our culture, and this is how you can help drive it. What do you think to that?’ “ Besides Durant and Irving, the Nets also are adding DeAndre Jordan, Taurean Prince, Garrett Temple, Wilson Chandler and David Nwaba to their core of young players. Marks said the improved overall level of talent may require some adjustments. “I think everything has to change slightly,” Marks said.

“New York is fun, New York is beautiful. The people of New York are amazing, and that’s what I love about them. That’s why the Lord brought me here, he knew that I can do something different here.”

“We haven’t had that type of talent, and that’s across the board. I’ll put all our free agents in there. They have to start driving the culture. These guys have been in the league, they’re elite-level players, and we have to see what we can learn from them. “But I can assure you Kenny is not going to be anything different than who Kenny is. When Kyrie and KD and DJ and Garrett came in here, they knew what Kenny is, and they talked about it. They said they loved the emotion he shows.”

Bachelor party pictures throw wedding into question My sister-in-law “June” is being married soon. I will be the matron of honor. My husband, “Jake,” June’s brother, will be a groomsman for her fiance, “Jimmy.” Not only is Jake going to be a groomsman, but he’s also supposed to officiate. Jake went to the bachelor party a couple weeks ago and DEAR ABBY Jimmy showed all the guys — including my husband — eight (!) naked pictures a girl from work had texted him. He asked my husband if he should tell June about it before the wedding or after, and Jake said he should tell her right away. Should my husband tell June or leave it up to Jimmy, who may or may not do it? (We don’t know what his plans may be about the girl who sent the pictures.) Looking For The Right Thing To Do

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Jimmy may or may not have “plans” for a fling with the woman who texted him the pictures — or it may have already happened. (He could also be an immature braggart, which is why he shared the photos with the other “stags” at the party.) Because Jake now has concerns about Jimmy’s character, he should reiterate to Jimmy that if June isn’t told before she makes a lifetime commitment, he will tell her. He should also refuse to officiate at a wedding he fears may be a huge mistake.

My husband has late stage dementia and is in a long-term care center. He had several affairs during our marriage, and if the tables were turned, I’m sure he would be involved with other women while I was receiving care. I realize I should have left him years ago. I visit him several times a month but not every day. I do it out of commitment, not love. Sometimes I feel guilty for not going more often. I guess I’m asking you for permission to see him when I have time but not every day. I also would like to encourage people who have lost faith in their spouse to make the break before any serious illness sets in. I have no interest in finding another man, but I feel tied down with the burden of seeing him through to the end. Hanging In There In Ohio Have a realistic talk with that conscience of yours. Surely the two of you can reach a compromise. This is not the time to punish your husband for his infidelity. Under the circumstances, because you don’t feel your husband deserves to be visited daily, visit a couple of times a week to ensure that he is being properly looked after. And if he isn’t, make it your mission to ensure the situation is remedied, as you would want someone to do for you.

Reader is sweating over her lack of perspiration I am an elderly woman who has never perspired and would like to know why. Heat makes me very sick. I love the outdoors, but can be out only a short while in the warmer weather. No one seems to have an answer for me. The name for the condition TO YOUR of no sweating at all is anhidroGOOD HEALTH sis, and there are several causes. There are rare conditions people are born with. These are a possibility, since you have never perspired. However, nearly all of these rare diseases have other significant symptoms you don’t mention. Damage to sweat glands can be seen in autoimmune diseases and diseases that can destroy sweat glands. None of these is likely, as they too have additional symptoms you would have identified during your life. Likewise, you don’t mention medications, which may have lack of sweating as a side effect. I suspect you don’t have a diagnosable disease but rather that you are on the far end of the normal range for sweating (this would be called hypohidrosis). Just as there are people who get drenched with sweat in mildly warm weather, there are some who sweat very little. Since sweating is a major way of keeping cool, you are at higher risk for heat injury, including heatstroke. Avoiding hot weather is wise. Sun protection is also wise, as is making sure you have enough fluids. Avoiding excess heat becomes even more important as you get older, since an older person has less ability to adapt to heat than a younger person.

DR. KEITH ROACH

I am a 25-year-old man who was diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 18. It is most likely

due to inhaled steroids for childhood asthma, as many other tests by endocrinologists at top institutions have ruled out other possibilities. With six years of exercise, vitamin D and calcium, my bone density is normal in some areas and osteopenia in others. I also have male pattern baldness, and I am considering taking finasteride. One endocrinologist feels it may interfere with my bone density. I had a second opinion, and the doctor felt 1 mg would not affect my bone density. I do not want to compromise my bones, but I also do not want to lose my hair. Finasteride and dutasteride work by blocking an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. Testosterone is an important hormone in men and women, and it promotes bone mass. Low testosterone is one of the conditions your endocrinologist would have checked you for, as osteoporosis in an 18-year-old man is quite rare. The effect of finasteride and dutasteride on bone density has been tested in several studies. Fortunately, the evidence is pretty strong that neither of these agents reduces bone density. In fact, one study showed improvement in bone density in men taking dutasteride compared to a control group. Evidence is not strong enough to use these medicines as treatment, though it does give reassurance that they are unlikely to harm the bones of men taking them for prostate enlargement or hair loss. Incidentally, osteoporosis from inhaled steroids is quite rare, as the steroids used now are very poorly absorbed.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you seem at once to be disarmingly simple and straightforward, and yet at the same time there is something of the politician about you — one who can see and appreciate all sides of an issue and highlight that aspect of your personality that is most suitable to whatever situation you may find yourself in. This can result, of course, in some consternation among those who think they know you well, for you can be quite difficult to define or pin down. You may, in fact, be mistaken quite often for a Gemini native, so clearly delineated seem the two — or more — facets of your complex personality. While you are quite clever, there are times in which your emotions may get the better of you. You sometimes find that you need to have someone you trust by your side to see you through life’s difficult patches. Also born on this date are: Nelson Mandela, South African president and world civil rights leader; Vin Diesel, actor; Kristen Bell, actress; Richard Branson, entrepreneur; Red Skelton, actor and comedian; John Glenn, astronaut and statesman; Hunter S. Thompson, writer. 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 19 CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may experience something of a rough ride today, as you stop and start quite suddenly to address the unexpected. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’re likely to receive the support you expect — and, by all accounts, deserve. Take care that you don’t become complacent, however!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re getting used to something that is in no way advantageous, but you should continue working toward its eradication. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Tension rises today, and you’re in a position to ease it when you can. No one else is likely to have quite the right touch. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Overindulgence today is sure to win you more than physical ills; the criticism you receive may be harder to deal with than anything else. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You are creeping closer, ever closer, to a precipice. It’s a personal situation, but one you may want to share with a friend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Everything makes a difference today, and that which you ignore or overlook is likely to do more to slow you down than anything else. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You don’t want to be alone when dealing with a certain tricky situation, but all you really need is for someone to watch your back. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You can keep things carefully in balance throughout much of the day — until an unexpected guest throws things out of whack. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You can get more done during morning hours than you had planned, leaving you with ample time to indulge in a personal pleasure later on. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may have to do something in a very strange way today in order for it to have the effect you desire. Use your imagination! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — While trying to maximize your stability, you may encounter someone who threatens to overturn the entire boat. It’s time for you to step in.
