Delaware Engineering, D.P.C. Planner Kevin Schwenzfeier discusses the environmental impact of the proposed Catskill Gardens last summer with, pictured from left, planning board members Patrick McCulloch and Michele Pulver, secretary Nancy Richards and chairman William Zwoboda last summer. The project is on hold.

Life-long dream comes true

CATSKILL — A controversial housing development proposed more than a year ago has stalled, village officials said Wednesday.

Catskill Gardens, a $25 million low-income housing complex for adults with special needs, was proposed

by The Mental Health Association of Columbia-Greene Counties for an 18-acre site on West Main Street near the Creekside Restaurant.

The moratorium on new

waterfront construction and failure of the MHA to repay the village for legal and engineering fees have combined to grind the project to a halt, village leaders said.

Catskill Gardens would be a three-story, 90-unit apartment complex with options for one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Office space for educational programs, community space, a gymnasium and computer room would occupy 3,700 square feet.

The project has been put on hold for two reasons, planning

board member Gil Bagnell said.

“They have not paid money they owed for the engineering study,” he said. “Until the comprehensive plan is done, we don’t have a basis [for the decision].”

The proposed development comes down to a question of equality, the MHA said.

Two years after a massive data breach that left sensitive information of millions of Americans exposed, a settlement has been reached with credit bureau Equifax, Inc.

The company will be required to pay at least $650 million and potentially significantly more to end state, federal and consumer claims over the 2017 data breach, which was one of the most potentially damaging in an ever-growing list of digital thefts.

The settlement, which was announced Monday and requires court approval, would be the largest ever paid by a company over a data breach.

Town planners OK Catskill solar project

By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Town planners voted in favor of a new solar energy project Tuesday night.

The 1.6-megawatt proposal for Cauterskill Road was presented to the town board in January by representatives from Renua Energy, Omni Navitas and Crawford & Associates Engineering.

More than 5,000 solar panels will be installed on 5.8 acres of the 112-acre property, which the company will lease for 25 years from owners Alfred and Nancy Beers, according to the proposal.

Town Planning Board Chairman Joseph Izzo reviewed a few last-minute items with Renua Energy founder and president David Byrne on Tuesday.

“A board member had questions still regarding the fire department,” Izzo said.

Hudson Talbott, a trustee of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, addresses the town planning board in June about a solar energy project proposed for Cauterskill Road by Renua Energy, Omni Navitas and Crawford & Associates Engineering. Town planners approved the project Tuesday.

Byrne said he spoke to Leeds Fire Chief Thomas McCulloch, who told

him that his company would offer firefighters training specific to dealing

with solar farms, he said.

In terms of the company having a secured bond for the project, Izzo said that it would not be up to the planning board to require one.

“That is a town board decision,” Izzo said. “You would not be talking to the planning board; you would have to talk to the town board.”

A secured bond may become a requirement for solar projects in the town code when officials review the comprehensive plan, Izzo added.

The company had offered to put up a bond in its decommissioning plan to restore the property back to its original condition, Izzo said Wednesday.

“I was uncomfortable with them putting up a bond because it was not something we had done with Bogart [Solar],” he said. “To me, it was a town See SOLAR A8

Textured breast implants made by Allergan, linked to an unusual cancer, are being recalled in the United States at the request of the Food and Drug Administration, the agency announced Wednesday.

Worldwide, 573 cases and 33 deaths from the cancer have been reported, with 481 of the cases clearly attributed to Allergan implants, the FDA said. Of the 33 deaths, the agency said the data it had collected showed that the type of implant was known in 13 cases and in 12 of those cases it was made by Allergan.

Women who have these implants, but no symptoms, do not need to have them removed, the FDA said. The recall means that doctors and Maxppp/Zuma Press/TNS hospitals should not implant any more of the devices and International health authorities now recognize that implants with roughened surfaces ‘Äî both gelshould return any on their filled and saline-filled ‘Äî can cause a very rare lymphoma, a type of immune system cancer.

Panicked screams pierced the air at Yellowstone National Park as visitors scattered.

A large bison meandering around a grassy hillside nearby had abruptly changed course.

It was now thundering toward the group of people, headed straight for a girl. Onlookers gasped. Wordless shrieks mixed with shouts of “Oh, my God!” In seconds, the powerful animal had reached the child, who was trying in vain to outrun it.

With a swift toss of its head, the charging bison catapulted her high into the sky like a rag doll, flipping her head over heels before gravity sent her tumbling to the ground.

The alarming scene was captured in a 12-second video that was first shared Monday to Twitter and has since gone viral, serving as the latest reminder of the danger that can arise when people venture too close to wild animals. Before the original clip was deleted early Wednesday, it had racked up more than 4 million views and roughly 38,000 retweets.

On Tuesday, the National Park Service confirmed that a 9-year-old girl from Odessa, Florida, was injured after a male bison charged at her and tossed her into the air Monday afternoon near the Old Faithful Geyser area. Yellowstone is home to about 4,900 wild bison as well as a number of elk, wolves and bears.

“According to witnesses, a group of approximately 50 people were within 5-10 feet of the bison for at least 20 minutes before eventually causing

the bison to charge the group,” the National Park Service said in a news release. In the video, two other people could be seen fleeing from the bison before it struck the girl.

The girl’s family took her to a nearby lodge where the park’s emergency medical providers treated her for unspecified injuries, the release said. She was then transported to one of the park’s medical clinics, where she was later released.

Though the person who originally shared the video claimed that the family was petting the bison before it charged, officials said no citations have been issued and the incident is still under investigation. According to park regulations visitors are prohibited from “willfully remaining near or approaching wildlife, including nesting birds, within any distance that disturbs or displaces the animal.”

“Wildlife in Yellowstone National Park are wild,” the release noted. “When an animal is near a trail, boardwalk, parking lot, or in a developed area, give it space.”

Visitors to the sprawling national park, which spreads across northwestern Wyoming and into Montana and Idaho, repeatedly are warned to “never approach animals” because they are “wild and unpredictable, no matter how calm they appear to be.” After Monday’s attack, officials stressed that people should stay at least 25 yards, or 75 feet, away from bison and other large animals such as elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose and coyotes. When encountering a wolf or bear, the suggested distance increases to

100 yards, or 300 feet.

Of all the wildlife that roams Yellowstone, bison are responsible for injuring more visitors than any other animal, officials said. The largest land-dwelling mammals in North America “can be aggressive, are agile, and can run up to 30 miles per hour,” which is three times as fast as humans, according to the Park Service. Males, or bulls, can weigh up to 2,000 pounds and stand six feet tall.

Although it is difficult to anticipate how a bison will act, officials said movements of the animal’s tail can gauge its mood. In video of Monday’s incident, the bison’s tail went from hanging to standing straight up, often a sign that the animal is preparing to charge. Still, the Park Service emphasized caution.

“Every year, there are regrettable accidents caused by people getting too close to these massive animals,” the Park Service said. “It’s great to love the bison, but love them from a distance.”

From 1983 to 1985, Yellowstone saw 33 bison-related injuries, prompting officials to launch outreach campaigns to raise awareness about safety, according to a 2016 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now, a flier is distributed at the park’s

entrances and prominent signage has been erected near campgrounds, roads and in visitor centers, the report said.

People nevertheless continue to disregard safety guidelines and place themselves in risky situations. A 2018 study examined the cases of 25 people injured by bison over a recent 15-year span and found that they were on average about 11 feet away from the animals at the time of the attacks. The study, which was published in the journal One Health, reported that 80 percent of the people “actively approached bison before their injuries.”

“Education alone might not be sufficient to reduce bisonrelated injuries,” researchers wrote.

OUR VIEW

Delgado’s response to ‘Go back’ matters One way we kept score during the fight between Republican John Faso and Democrat Antonio Delgado for the seat in the 19th Congressional District was the town hall meeting.

As we know now, Faso, when he held the office, seemed to have few faceto-face, in-person town halls, preferring high-tech and holding “tele”-town halls where congressman and audience kept a safe distance.

Now, here we are, some six months into Delgado’s first term, and he has held 16 — count ’em, 16 — town halls. The most recent took place Monday evening in Catskill, where Delgado said inequality

is the root of the nation’s ills.

This town hall was telling because Delgado’s statement matters all the more now after President Donald Trump’s blistering tweets about four freshman congresswomen of color saying they should “go back where they came from.”

It may be a good time to note here that Delgado is a freshman congressman of color. The kinship between Delgado and the four congresswomen, known as The Squad, is undeniable, and Delgado, who tried to avoid race in his campaign, broached the subject Monday.

“When we hear, ‘Go back to your countries’

— this type of language is not helpful,” Delgado said. “I’m an AfricanAmerican representing a district that is 90% white,” he said. “You can’t tell me we can’t cross party lines and discuss issues in a respectful way.”

With an average of two to three town halls a month, this isn’t a shortterm get-to-know-you project. Ready or not, Delgado officially planted his congressional flag with his statement in Catskill about inequality — economic, social and racial.

Polarizing issues can be discussed with rationality instead of emotion. What Delgado said Monday has to happen sooner rather than later.

ANOTHER VIEW

Budget deal postpones reckoning while both parties get to spend more on pet priorities (c) 2019, The Washington Post ·

President Donald Trump and congressional leaders have struck a bipartisan deal on a two-year federal spending plan, and while all the details are not clear, three big takeaways are.

First, a deal beats no deal. Before the agreement, the government was on its way to running out of legal borrowing authority, and, therefore, cash, by September.

The agreement avoids the debt default that might have resulted, by extending the federal debt limit through mid-2021. Setting spending caps for all defense and nondefense discretionary programs, totaling roughly $1.35 trillion per year through fiscal 2021, the agreement banishes the specter of mandatory across-the-board cuts known as sequestration, as well as the prospect of another government shutdown. In tumultuous political times, these truces provide a welcome measure of stability and predictability. To that minimal extent, the system worked.

The second, far less optimistic point is that compromise proved possible only on the basis of the lowest common denominator: Both parties get to spend more on pet priorities, without offsetting spending cuts or tax increases. The Democrats, in control of the House and of enough Senate seats to mount a filibuster, leveraged a $27 billion increase for next year in nondefense discretionary programs; the Republicans got $22 billion more in defense spending and, of course, no new revenue. Those elevated levels would then apply the year after as well. The White House dropped its earlier demands for $150 billion in lower spending over 10 years, in return for a Democratic

promise not to attach policy conditions to appropriations bills, plus a handful of promised savings that don’t take effect until 2027.

To govern is to choose; both political parties basically chose not to. The deal could increase projected deficits by $1.7 trillion over the next decade, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget - on top of the $1.5 trillion debt increase already wrought by the GOP’s 2017 tax cuts. With a historic political struggle looming next year, Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., proved unwilling to spend a nickel’s worth of political capital on debt control. This may have been the pragmatic course, but historians will still record that, under Trump’s leadership, the budget deficit increased by double-digit percentages each year - despite robust economic growth - while the Republican Party abandoned even the pretense of fiscal responsibility. Now, the GOP will campaign in 2020 as the party of debt-financed military spending, and Democrats as the party of debt-financed domestic spending, reinforcing the unhealthy notion that certain functions of the national government belong to this or that party, not everyone.

Which brings us to the deal’s third implication: While postponing a budget reckoning, the deal also changes the terms under which the next battle will take place. When this agreement expires on Sept. 30, 2021, there will be no more budget caps. The 2011 law that created the sequestration threat will be a thing of the past, too. The winners in the 2020 election will be that much less inhibited to borrow and spend than they are now.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength.’

The repeal of the ‘Cadillac tax’ showed a hazard of bipartisanship WASHINGTON — Acting on the principle “Why put it off until tomorrow when you can do the wrong thing today?” the House of Representatives last week voted to repeal a tax that is not scheduled to take effect until 2022.

The vote against the “Cadillac tax” was 419-6, a reminder that “bipartisanship” often is the political class coming together to sacrifice the national interest to its own.

Repeal of the promised tax of 40% on a portion of the most lavish employerprovided health care plans would enlarge projected budget deficits by almost $200 billion in a decade. This, however, is minuscule considering the projected — and planned — deficits of $11.4 trillion in a decade. From the political class’s point of view, the beauty of enormous deficits is that they make increments of mere hundreds of billions seem not worth bickering about.

Employer-provided health insurance is not taxed as what it obviously is: compensation. With this enormous subsidy to fortunate employees, the government forgoes about $300 billion in annual revenues. But lost revenue is not the primary problem.

This is: The tax was proposed not just to help fund Obamacare but also as an incentive for restraining the rapid growth of health care costs. Because the tax break — treating important compensation as untaxable — is unlimited, Alan D. Viard of the American Enterprise Institute says, it encourages employers to provide high-cost plans “that cover routine care and feature low deductibles and copayments. Those plans increase the demand for medical services and drive up costs for other patients.”

James Capretta, also of AEI, recalls that candidate Barack Obama campaigned in 2008 against “taxing health benefits” but as president became convinced that it was too costly to leave the

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL perverse incentive in place.

Capretta says Republicans are mistaken if they “think that reforming the tax treatment of employer-based health insurance is not central to building a marketdriven health system.” He says “it is impossible to rid the system of inefficiency and waste when so much private insurance is financed by open-ended federal tax subsidies.”

So here we slouch: Republicans, having vowed to “repeal and replace” Obamacare, didn’t when they controlled Congress and the presidency, and now will settle for — wait for it — a tax cut (repealing a scheduled tax). Democrats, having denounced Republican tax cutting as “regressive” and deficit-swelling, have voted for a tax cut that would partially repeal Obamacare, swell the deficit and disproportionately benefit households in the top fifth of income distribution.

The Cadillac tax was supposed to begin in 2018 but has been delayed twice. Because we have defined adulthood down, the House is perhaps to be praised for taking responsibility for its irresponsibility: It might have just voted for another delay, punting the tax toward tomorrow on the “’Annie’ Principle” that tomorrow is always a day away. But rather than continue the never-plausible pretense that the tax will someday be enforced, the House has voted to euthanize it. A Senate bill to do likewise has 21 Democratic and 21 Republican co-sponsors, but

repeal might be prevented by the Senate’s aversion to legislating. But repeal this year does not matter: The tax will never be collected.

The tax is integral to the structure and financing of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. That fact and the fact that it is a tax probably were, for Republicans, sufficient reasons to justify repeal. The distilled essence of today’s Republicanism is denial of the axiom that there are just two ways to finance government — contemporary taxes or future taxes.

Democratic opposition to the Cadillac tax — the ACA was enacted in 2010 without a single Republican vote for it and with only 34 Democratic votes against it — reflects two things: Democrats like government to subsidize stuff because subsidies distort markets, which, being heartless, deserve to be distorted.

And nowadays one of organized labor’s principal functions is to negotiate health care as untaxed compensation, a government benefit unavailable to Americans who have to fend for themselves in purchasing health insurance.

The margin of 413 for repeal of the tax was convenient. The House has a rule that a tax cut cannot be passed without commensurate expenditure cuts. There is, however, a second rule: The first rule is nullified if a two-thirds majority considers obnoxious the first rule’s requirement of offsetting cuts. This second rule is necessitated by a third rule: Legislators must never be forced to make choices involving unpopular trade-offs.

About all this, there is bipartisan agreement.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We are all from someplace else To the editor: It appears that the Republican Party under Donald Trump has gone from its history of dog whistle race baiting to outright racist bludgeoning. The President’s tweets and public remarks about four Democrat Congress women of color has increased the divisiveness he so relishes. While Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the House Republican leader, feigns indignation over the recent chanting in North Carolina Trump rally, he would like us to forget his party’s long history of “rallying the base” with some not so subtle racist activities. In last year’s midterm elections, Representative McCarthy’s

National Republican Congressional Committee paid for a number of ads during John Faso’s failed reelection campaign that some in the press referred to as “overtly racist.”

The presidential campaigns of Nixon, Reagan and George H.W. Bush all made use of the divide and conquer approach to win election by disparaging “those people” who don’t share “our values” and vowing to “lock them up” for crimes real or imagined.

Trump has brought this approach to an all time low by openly encouraging and inciting crowds to express their basest feelings about “the others.” Unlike Mr. Faso’s Bart Simpson “I didn’t do it”

Trump ‘Not Exculpated’ by Report, Mueller Says Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Nicholas Fandos The New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Robert Mueller took the witness stand for back-to-back House hearings Wednesday, facing off for the first time with lawmakers battling over the implications of what he found as special counsel.

Mueller, a reluctant witness who opened his testimony by repeating that he was not willing to go beyond his 448-page report, nonetheless obliged Democrats who prompted him to restate the most damning aspects of his findings to President Donald Trump.

“The finding indicates that the president was not exculpated for the acts that he allegedly committed,” Mueller told Rep. Jerrold Nadler, DN.Y., the Judiciary Committee chairman, under questioning about his conclusions on whether Trump obstructed justice.

It was one of the rare instances in which Mueller strayed outside of one-word answers or short phrases in response to lawmakers’ questions about his investigation.

Mueller’s terse responses, constant referrals to his report, and unwillingness to go beyond it are giving neither party what it wanted from the day’s hearings. Mueller appears unlikely to help Democrats with answers that will provide new sound bites from the former special counsel’s mouth. But he also will not help Republicans undermine the origins of his investigation.

An example: Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., asked, “Why? Why did the president want you fired?” to which he responded, “I can’t answer that question.”

But in a carefully steered line of questioning, Nadler got Mueller to agree with him that the president’s frequent declarations that the investigation had found “no obstruction” and had “completely and totally exonerated” Trump were false.

“Right, that is not what the report said,” Mueller said.

Mueller spoke haltingly as he testified, blunting attacks on him by Republicans but also limiting Democrats’ efforts to elevate his words.

“That’s a little bit out of our path,” he told Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., as she asked what he believed internal polling data obtained by the Russians might be used for.

Democrats could not even

get Mueller to read from his own report, instead performing their own dramatic recitations about the episodes they sought to highlight in which Trump was found to have tried to derail the investigation.

Mueller’s team had informed both committees holding hearings Wednesday that he would decline to read from the tome if asked to during the hearings.

As Democrats praised his integrity and work product, Republicans treated Mueller as a hostile witness and took a prosecutorial approach, often hectoring the former special counsel about specific findings in the report.

Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, the committee’s senior Republican, challenged Mueller repeatedly on whether “collusion” and “conspiracy” were the same thing, prompting Mueller to ultimately respond, “I leave it with the report.”

Collins also tried to focus what the investigation did not find, asking whether it was accurate that it did not establish that the president “was involved in underlying crime of Russia interference.”

Mueller’s response was legalistic: “We found insufficient evidence of the president’s culpability.”

As Democrats dug into the details of Mueller’s report, Republican lawmakers focused on attacking the former special counsel, suggesting that his investigation had been tainted and misguided. The Republican questioning offered the most tense moments of the hearing.

Rep. John Ratcliffe of Texas berated Mueller for his handling of the probe, arguing that he had used an “inverted burden of proof” by choosing

to detail the president’s conduct without charging him with any crime.

“You wrote 180 pages — 180 pages! — about decisions that weren’t reached, about potential crimes that weren’t charged or decided,” Ratcliffe said. “By doing that, you managed to violate every principle in the most sacred of traditions about prosecutors not offering extra prosecutorial analysis about potential crimes that aren’t charged.”

Republicans also sought to undercut the origins of the probe, trying without success to get Mueller to concede that he had acted in a biased way.

Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio went on an extended diatribe about why Mueller did not choose to charge Joseph Mifsud, the London-based professor who told George Papadopoulos that the Russian government had obtained “dirt” on Hillary Clinton in the form of thousands of emails.

“You can charge all kinds of people who are around the president with false statements, but the guy who launches everything, the guy who puts this whole story in motion, you can’t charge him,” Jordan said, his voice rising. “I think that’s amazing.”

That drew a rare challenge from Mueller, who said quietly, “I’m not sure I agree with your characterization.”

As the temperature rose in the hearing room, the president’s inner circle also sought to discredit Mueller. Donald Trump Jr. retweeted a posting

by Dinesh D’Souza, the conservative bomb thrower, who suggested that the real Mueller, 74, had been kidnapped and replaced with “a mentally retarded look-alike.”

Trump himself was gentler

Court declines to block new Trump administration rule barring most asylum petitions Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Miriam Jordan The New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — A federal judge Wednesday let stand a new rule that bars migrants who failed to apply for asylum in at least one country on their way to the southwest border from obtaining protections in the United States, dealing the Trump administration a temporary win.

Judge Timothy J. Kelly of the U.S. District Court in Washington declined to issue a temporary restraining order that would have blocked the government from effectively banning asylum for most Central American migrants, who have been arriving in record numbers this year.

The rule, now being applied on a limited basis in Texas, requires migrants to seek asylum in the first safe country they arrive in — in most of the current cases, Mexico.

“I do not find on this limited record the plaintiffs have provided sufficient evidence of a certain great and immediate harm to meet this high burden,” Kelly said Wednesday.

Under the policy, which the administration announced July 15, only immigrants who had officially lost their bids for asylum in another country through which they traveled or who had been victims of “severe” human trafficking

are permitted to apply for asylum in the United States.

Hondurans and Salvadorans have to apply for asylum and be denied in Guatemala or Mexico before they became eligible to apply in the United States, and Guatemalans have to apply and be denied in Mexico. The policy reversed long-standing asylum laws that ensure people can seek safe haven no matter where they come from. On July 16, the day the new rule went into effect — initially in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas — the American Civil Liberties Union challenged the policy

in court in San Francisco. The case under review Wednesday in Washington was filed separately by two advocacy organizations, the Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights Coalition and Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services.

The groups had asked the court to find that Congress did not intend that mere transit through another country would render an applicant ineligible for asylum in the United States, and to rule that the policy did not comply with required procedural steps.

but no less sparing in his assessment.

“This has been a disaster for the Democrats and a disaster for the reputation of Robert Mueller,” he tweeted, attributing the statement to Fox News anchor Chris Wallace.

Nadler kicked off the hearing with a stark statement charging the president with having violated the law.

“Any other person who acted in this way would have been charged with crimes,” Nadler said in his opening statement. “And in this nation, not even the president is above the law.”

Nadler praised Mueller for the way he conducted the investigation and said his committee — which is under immense scrutiny for how it handles the hearing — would seek to emulate his approach.

“We will follow your example, Director Mueller,” Nadler said in a statement that never mentioned the word “impeachment.” “We will act with integrity. We will follow the facts where they lead. We will consider all appropriate remedies. We will make our recommendation to the House when our work concludes.

“We will do this work because there must be accountability for the conduct described in your report, especially as it relates to the president,” he said.

Republicans moved to defend President Donald Trump and downplay the evidence that Mueller uncovered, trying to let the air out of any revelations that might surface during the hearing.

“The burden of proof for accusations that remain unproven is extremely high,” Collins said.

“The report concluded nobody in the president’s campaign colluded or conspired with the Russians,” he said.

“The president’s attitude toward the investigation was understandably negative,” Collins added. “But he did not shut down the investigation.

It’s sunny, hot and humid and I’m looking at a catalog I received the other day that has autumn and Halloween decorations. Could we possibly just enjoy the summer first? Would you rather have a heat wave or two feet of snow and 20 below?

No matter what, we’ll find something to complain about.

Until next week take care, be thankful, please be kind and do not leave your pets in a vehicle — only takes minutes to be unbearable.

Not going to talk about the weather

By Abby and Gabby For Columbia-Greene Media

PRATTSVILLE — Not going to say a word about the weather so don’t read this sentence.

Barbara Hoagland Cook went to an event and came home with a hot tub; she bought it for future installation. Bet Randy was some surprised with that purchase. But they now enjoy it.

Speaking of hot tubs, the American Legion Virgil E. Deyo Post 1327, Prattsville, is raffling off a hot tub from Tubs and Stuff, where it is on display. It is PDC “Seasons” Spa, seats four plus Lounge, 82” X 82,” 375 gallons with 43 therapy jets. Winner will be drawn in October. Cost is $20 per ticket and will benefit Post 1327 and Stratton VAMC Hospital. Thank you for your support. Winner need not be present.

Was not the best of weekends for a yard sale but there were some funds raised for our veterans. The proceeds will go to good use, especially at Christmastime. It is always a good time to chat with local lookers and buyers, plus those from out of town. Everyone was so friendly, despite the heat, and we thank them for supporting our veterans.

Some time ago I got a phone call from someone asking if I knew of a portrait painter. At

that time I did not but have recently been in contact with one. So if the lady who called me will call me again, 518299-3219, I will put you in contact with this portrait painter.

Mason Chase is taking a hiatus from his college schedule. He will do a year of internship before returning to college for two more years to complete his studies. He finished this year with a near 4.0 GPA. Nice young man to talk with and exchange some humorous chit chat. Want to see you around more, Mason.

Charlie and Beverly Becker Santos were out and about Sunday. After attending Mass — and you have to give all parishioners credit attending Mass at St. Philip at their nonairconditioned church — it was very uncomfortable, the Santos took in yard sales and went to Cairo for iced coffee at Dunkin Donuts. Sunday is their day for just enjoying each other away from chores around their home on Main Street. They are still rehabbing, repairing and upgrading their home as well as the grounds. Beverly said they just drive around, stopping whenever and wherever they please, and just enjoy the beautiful Catskill Mountains.

Beverly and Charlie shared some stories about her dad, Basil. Charlie bought himself

an earth-moving machine, not sure of the appellation, but he is having fun with it and getting his grounds back in shape. Beverly said that on their return from Florida for the summer, within one hour Charlie was outside revving up his machines. Men and their toys.

Did you know Mike Ryan makes house calls? Think about that.

Caution: There will be construction starting 6 a.m.-9 p.m. July 29 on Route 23A. Major road work will start about one mile from junction of Route 23 and Route 23A, continuing to Hunter. It is about time. Let’s hope this is just the beginning of much-needed road repairs.

Got to make a correction: Diana and Arnold Jaeger’s anniversary is not July 26 so get those cards back in the file.

Their anniversary is in August and it was celebrated on July 26 two years ago because that was when all the family could make the party. Sorry, Jaegers.

Happy birthday to Joanne Lane and John Young on July 27. We wish Roberta Hull and Shirley Dunham Doroski a happy birthday on July 28.

Linda Cross is wished a very happy birthday on Aug. 1.

‘Onteora Park has become best known’

By Dede Terns-Thorpe For Columbia-Greene Media

“That at Onteora Park Has Become the Best Known,” by the Brooklyn Eagle Onteora Park, June 15, 1907. Brooklyn Eagle Newspaper (interesting article, as written.)

One of the many interesting features of the summer life throughout the Catskills are the cottage settlements throughout the mountains.

Of these, Onteora, has in recent years become the best known.

Lying north of Tannersville, and above it, the park commands some of the most picturesque views of the mountains. The roads are excellent and summer life there is a summer idyll.

The cottagers are not as democratic as the cottagers at the other parks in the Town

of Hunter, and their desire to pass a quiet summer in a secluded spot has won the title, “the silk-stocking park” for the colony.

There has been considerable activity there during the past winter in preparing the various places for occupancy, in making changes and improving the numerous cottages that are there.

Previous to last season, Sunset Park had the most elaborate cottage in the neighborhood, but the construction of the Macy cottage, in Onteora Park, last year, at a cost of $1,000,000, made Onteora the first on the list with expensive cottages.

(Macy cottage, known as Hathaway Lodge).

Following the lead set by Mr. Macy, the other cottagers have been improving their property, and the place

presents a much more attractive appearance than last season.

Judging from present appearances, there will not be an idle cottage here during the season that has just opened, and the season will eclipse all former ones in

brilliancy.

The cottagers are arriving here daily this week and nearly all of the cottages are occupied.

Dewitt Parshall arrived at his cottage last week, having made the trip from New York with his H. P.

Stevens–Duryea automobile.

(Parshall was a famous artist, best-known for his paintings of the Grand Canyon) Mr. and Mrs. V. (Valentine) E. Macy of Scarborough on the Hudson with their family, are expected at their residence.

Mrs. George Custer has been at her cottages for the past two weeks.

H. C. Smith of Philadelphia is occupying his cottage.

Mrs. Candice Wheeler, one of the most popular of the cottagers and one of the moving spirits in all the park interests, arrived last week to the great delight of the colony.

Gilbert Colgate, another of the moving spirits of Onteora has been at his cottage with his family.

Miss E.K. Wakeman is occupying her cottage.

Smith Thompson, president of the Farmers’ National Bank of Hudson, N.Y. is at his cottage with his family.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Morgan Colt of Manhattan have arrived.

H. P. Moon and family are at her respective cottage.

Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Tilden of Philadelphia are at their summer place. The Bear and Fox Inn opened with a large crowd.

The Minwawa Inn is also open.

Hope you enjoyed this little story from 110+ years ago. Any questions or comments, please call me at 518-589-4130, or hunterhistorian@gmail.com. Until next week, take care. Be thankful & Be kind. You never know how your act of kindness may change someone’s life.

‘Woodland Light: Photographs by Margaret Moulton STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. — The exhibit “Woodland Light: Photographs of Chesterwood by Margaret Moulton” will be on view July 25 – Oct. 27 at the Woodland Gallery at Chesterwood, in Stockbridge.

Chesterwood, the home, studio and gardens of sculptor Daniel Chester French, continues to celebrate its 50th anniversary with a special photography exhibition by artist, photojournalist and educator Margaret Moulton.

There will be a free opening reception on Thursday, July 25, from 5-7 p.m. in the Woodland Gallery at Chesterwood, 4 Williamsville Rd. The studio, outdoor sculpture exhibition and grounds will also be open, with half-price admission, on July 25 from 5-7 p.m. The exhibition will be on view through Oct. 27.

For 12 months Moulton explored the woods at Chesterwood as an artist-inresidence.

“Much like Daniel Chester French depended on natural light to highlight the subtleties of his sculpture, my photographic exploration of Chesterwood

became a search for light and its balance with shadow,” Moulton said. “I saw this setting in black and white, aware of how the woodlands looked like an abstract drawing or a collage of leaves and twigs.”

The images for “Woodland Light: Photographs of Chesterwood by Margaret Moulton” were made with a medium format camera, on black and white negative

film, printed in Moulton’s own darkroom.

Moulton’s photographs are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the San Francisco Museum of Art, the Hudson River Museum, and other private collections. Her work was also included in the exhibition, “Pictures

Real lions don’t sing. Hakuna Matata!

By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

The circle of life, as repeated and updated in Disney’s new version of “The Lion King,” is a cycle of growth.

Birth, youth, maturity and declining abilities, the story goes, and nothing is immune to Father Time. Nothing, of course, except for Disney animation.

Taking its place in the new pantheon of “live-action” Disney remakes that include “The Jungle Book,” “Dumbo” and “Aladdin,” “The Lion King” is as visually staggering as its place in history suggests. But it also lacks the spontaneity of the 1994 original and reveals more calculation. More than the exuberant Disney masterpieces that came before it, this animated juggernaut can’t shake the feeling of cold-blooded Hollywood product.

No studio beats Disney when it comes to manufacturing these products with brilliance, fetishistic attention to detail and Swiss-timepiece precision. But despite all the digital miracles, this “Lion King” has a noticeably thin plot (the movie is stretched to a half-hour longer than its predecessor) thanks to weirdly out-of-place CGI wildlife scenes and an awful lot of palaver. Strangely, all the digital wonders make the movie seem less daring than Disney movies with conventional animation techniques.

The script retains much of the original story. Simba, a cub, has to endure a rite of passage before he becomes

Simba and Mufasa

ruler of his kingdom. This classic hero’s quest still contains a dash of “Hamlet,” but it is not stressed as much as it was in the first movie.

Simba’s regal father Mufasa (again voiced by the great James Earl Jones) is manipulated by his suavely wicked brother Scar (Chiwetel Okiofor). Scar arranges Mufasa’s disturbing on-screen murder in a manner that results in Simba’s exile into the wilderness and the cub’s feeling of guilt that lasts throughout his life. The intensity of the drama and the hyper-realistic battles raise questions about whether the movie is really meant for children. In addition to Mufasa’s agonizing plunge from a cliff into a stampede of wildebeests, an army of truly frightening hyenas guard Scar and a violent no-claws-barred fight takes place at the climax.

Under the direction of Jon Favreau (“The Jungle Book”), the movie discards the myth making and doesn’t find anything to replace it. It doesn’t rely as effectively on music; the old Elton John-Tim Rice

songs are interjected into the action and then quickly abandoned in favor of Hans Zimmer’s routine action-movie score. Simba’s lioness friend Nala (Beyonce Knowles-Carter) gets the gratuitous task of debunking “Hakuna Matata”

— no worries — the take-itas-it-comes philosophy that leavened the solemnity of the first movie.

The humor here relies on a true Disney specialty. “The Lion King” counts on a witty group of voices led by Seth Rogen to advance the story.

And Disney’s animators fully unleash their genius. All of the characters are clever and colorful, every image is rich and eye-popping and the scenic African landscapes range from scary to awe-inspiring.

Together, these elements don’t quite make up for the movie’s story lulls and long, talky scenes, but they give the best of “The Lion King” a bright, energetic appeal.

CALENDAR LISTINGS TSL Movies July 25 - August 1 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-before-seen 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 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 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 Ash is the Purest White — Qiao is in love with Bin, a local mobster.

During a fight between rival gangs, she fires a gun to protect him. Qiao gets five years in prison for this act of loyalty. Upon her release, she goes looking for Bin to pick up where they left off. In Mandarin with subtitles.

2018. 2h16m. n The Serengeti Rules — One of the most important but untold science stories of our time. Beginning in the 1960s, a small band of young scientists headed out into the wilderness, driven by an insatiable curiosity about how nature works. Immersed in some of the most remote and spectacular places on Earth – from the majestic Serengeti to the Amazon jungle; from the Arctic Ocean to Pacific tide pools – they discovered a single set of rules that govern all life.

Now in the twilight of their eminent careers, these five unsung heroes of modern ecology share the stories of their adventures, reveal how their pioneering work flipped our view of nature on its head, and give us a chance to reimagine the world as it could and should be. 2019. 1h24m. n The Garden — Half waking dream and half fiery polemic, The Garden was born of director Derek Jarman’s rage over continued anti-gay 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 over-the-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.

fees,” Hilscher said.

Village President Vincent Seeley agreed.

“After many attempts, MHA failed to reimburse us for specific legal and engineering fees incurred during

the initial planning process,” Seeley said. “Due to this nonpayment, we suspended their application as prescribed by law.”

Hilscher was unsure if the MHA plans to resubmit the

project, he said.

Seeley said the MHA has not indicated they want to pursue the project at this time.

Hilscher did not know how far along the project was before it was stopped.

“In my opinion, this project was still in the beginning planning stages,” Seeley said. “The scope of the project changed a few times causing delays and rework. I believe it has been more than nine months since

they were before our planning board.”

In August 2018, the planning board determined that the project would have an adverse impact on the environment, following a state environmental review.

The project could cause traffic, stormwater and community character problems, said planner Kevin Schwenzfeier of Delaware Engineering.

In terms of community character, Bagnell asked how the project will be integrated with recent neighboring developments such as Lumberyard Center for Film and Performing Arts and the restored Black Bridge that crosses the Catskill Creek.

“There’s a lot that’s moved into the area and the question is whether this project at that location is going to help, or hurt or make no difference,” Bagnell said.

For example, Lumberyard will provide a boost to the economy while the proposed Catskill Gardens does not appear to, project critics have said.

“We treated this project like any other large project that would impact our infrastructure, traffic patterns — both vehicular and pedestrian — residents and visitors,” Seeley said.

with New York state — their penalty should have been substantially higher for jeopardizing the personal data of so many Americans,” Jordan said. “Corporations and government must take ensuring the integrity and security of personal data much more seriously.”

Separate investigations into the breach were conducted by the Department of Financial Services and the New York Attorney General’s Office involving Equifax, Inc. and two of its subsidiaries — Equifax Information Services LLC and Equifax Consumer Services LLC, according to the governor’s office.

“Credit rating agencies have a responsibility to safeguard consumers’ financial and personal information, and this egregious data breach and the agency’s response was completely unacceptable,” Cuomo said. “In New York, we are sending a clear message to these agencies that they will be held accountable if they leave consumers’ private data

vulnerable to exposure, and we will continue our rigorous oversight of these agencies to ensure New Yorkers are protected in the future.

Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-102, said the company should be held accountable for the breach.

“Credit rating companies like Equifax have a duty to the American people to protect their information, but this data breach was an immense violation of the public’s trust,” Tague said. “I applaud any effort to compensate those affected by the breach. The company failed in its duty to its customers and the public at large; it should be held accoutable for its lax security practices.”

Under the settlement, Equifax is required to pay a minimum of $380.5 million into a restitution fund for American consumers who file claims showing they were financially harmed. A portion of the money will pay for lawyers’ fees, but at least $300 million must go to victims, according

to settlement documents filed in federal court in Atlanta. If the initial cash is depleted, the company will add up to $125 million more to settle consumers’ claims.

Jordan said she wants to take the process a step further.

“The Equifax settlement here in New York could have — and should have — done more to send this important message,” Jordan said. “I sponsor legislation, Senate Bill S.2821, that would create a Data Breach Insurance Tax Credit for small businesses to take advantage of a new type of insurance to better protect themselves and their customers.”

She added that her office has issued robocall scam alerts across the 43rd District to raise awareness “about how individuals can better safeguard their identity and reputation from scammers, hackers and data breaches,” Jordan said.

Also as part of the settlement, Equifax will pay an additional $175 million in fines to end investigations by 50

attorneys general, including New York Attorney General Letitia James. Forty-eight states — except Indiana and Massachusetts, which separately filed their own lawsuits against the company — are part of the settlement, along with the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

In New York, the company will pay $9.2 million to the New York Attorney General’s Office as part of the settlement agreement.

“Equifax put profits over privacy and greed over people, and must be held accountable to the millions of people they put at risk,” James said. “This company’s ineptitude, negligence and lax security standards endangered the identities of half the U.S. population.

Now, it’s time for the company to do what’s right and not only pay restitution to the millions of victims of their data breach, but also provide every American who had their highly sensitive information accessed with the tools they need to battle identity theft in the future.”

As part of the settlement, Equifax will provide New York consumers with credit-monitoring services and free annual credit reports for five years, according to the governor’s office. New York consumers who were impacted by the breach may enroll in at least four years of credit monitoring by the three major credit-monitoring services — Equifax, Experian and Transunion. They will also receive two free credit reports from Equifax every 12 months for five years, Cuomo said.

Under the Equifax settlement, consumers who believe they experienced losses resulting from the data breach will be able to submit claims for reimbursement to a courtappointed administrator.

Equifax will also pay an additional $50 million to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as well as additional settlements that have been reached with the Federal Trade Commission.

hearing last month, asked the company to use green slated fencing to make the project more visibly appealing.

The proposed fencing is made of black vinyl with an eight-inch gap beneath to allow wildlife to pass through, Byrne said.

Planning Board Vice Chairman Larry Federman suggested an alternative type of fencing that had holes at the bottom to allow wildlife to pass through.

“My construction team has serious concerns that this would affect the functionality of the fence and compromise its integrity,” Byrne said. “We’re happy to put a gap of eight inches beneath the fence to allow for the movement of wildlife.”

There was also a concern

from the property owners that having holes in the fence might cause livestock to get stuck, he said.

Fences with holes for wildlife have been successful at a solar farm in Long Island, Federman said, with no problems with having animals get stuck or a loss of fence integrity.

“Six feet is not tall enough to exclude deer,” Federman added.

Byrne was agreeable to increasing the height of the fence to seven feet.

“But some deer still try to jump seven feet,” he said.

“And having barbed wire would be catastrophic.”

The board asked about fencing similar to that around the Bogart solar project, which has seven-foot

fences with a strand of barbed wire at the top.

“If you’re not going to use barbed wire, can you make it eight feet?” board member Teresa Golden said.

Byrne said he did not see a problem with it but wants to consult with his construction team.

Included in the resolution for the project’s special-use permit is a condition that the fence be eight feet, unless an equivalent agreement is made with the Code Enforcement Officer.

Other conditions such as

the submission of a stormwater management plan, erosion management plan, vegetation management plan, installation limited to the dry weather, avoidance of using herbicides to maintain the property, providing fire safety training, abiding by the Operations and Maintenance Schedule and that panels cannot exceed sixand-a-half feet in height are detailed in the resolution.

Concerns held by Scenic Hudson and Olana State Historic Site regarding visual impact had been resolved, Izzo

said Wednesday. “[Byrne] worked with both Olana and Scenic Hudson on the visual effect on the viewshed,” Izzo said. “They asked him for additional photography and information. The board did get a response from Scenic Hudson saying they are satisfied and have no objections with the project.”

Izzo, Federman, Golden, and board members Charlez Holtz and Reid Mower voted in favor of the project. Board member Bridget Hernandez voted against it and Thomas Decker was absent.

like other residents do, project attorney Corey A. Auerbach said. “In today’s world of live, work, play, what could be better than to bring some density and for people to enjoy these wonderful amenities that your village offers?”

The Mental Health Association has not taken any legal action against the village, Hilscher said.

The review of the comprehensive plan is expected to be complete in late September.

Planning board member Patrick McCulloch declined to comment and referred all questions to village attorney Ted Hilscher.

“The planning board can’t take action due to the moratorium,” Hilscher said.

The moratorium, which was enacted last September, prohibits construction from West Bridge Street to the Historic Catskill Point for six months.

The board voted to extend the moratorium in March.

The moratorium was passed to allow the village to revise its 10-year-old comprehensive plan.

“The status of the application is now dormant because they have not paid engineering

“engaged in practices that violated the Dodd-Frank Act and Financial Services Law,” according to a statement issued by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office. The breach was found to have exposed consumers’ personal information including their full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses and, for some consumers, credit card numbers and driver’s license numbers.

The breach was announced by the company on Sept. 7, 2017.

State Sen. Daphne Jordan, R-43, said the New York portion of the settlement was insufficient.

“Equifax’s sloppy security and poor practices resulted in a massive data breach that exposed the personal information of 147 million individuals.

Frankly, Equifax got off lightly in terms of their settlement

board process, not a planning board process.”

The town applied for a state Department of Environmental Conservation Community Smart Growth grant last month to help fund the review of its 12-year-old plan.

A final concern for the board was the type of fencing that is used to keep trespassers and large wildlife away from the six-and-a-half-foot solar panels, but allow smaller animals to pass through.

Former C-GCC standout Kidd signs ABA deal

By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

Chris Kidd would be the first to tell you his basketball journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing.

There have been a few speed bumps along the way, but the former Columbia-Greene Community College basketball standout has always managed to land on his feet.

Kidd realized a life-long dream recently when he signed to play professionally for the Atlantic Coast Cardinals of the American Basketball Association.

“Its humbling, yet I’m hungry for more,” Kidd said. “To continue getting better and contribute to an organization like the Cardinals. Being able to compete against the best of the best will be challenging, but an accepted task.

“I’ve prepared my whole life for this moment and I’m ready. I got plenty of gas left in this tank. I am training and using all the things I’ve learned over my collegiate career to get and keep me ready for this upcoming season.”

Kidd, now 34, said attracting the attention of the Cardinals organization happened by chance.

“Well, its funny, honestly,” Kidd explained. “I was invited by a longtime friend from Beacon to play in this men’s league that I actually have been hearing about since moving

back to New York. A close friend, Ali Muhammed, actually is the commissioner of it and currently running for Mayor of Newburgh.

“I mentioned to my wife, Chrysti,

that I wanted to check it out and she said no. Too far to drive and too much for gas and tolls. So when my brother from out of state moved back home we kind of got caught driving on I-87

when she called on lunch break and talked to me nice.

“A legend and friend, Cordell Johnson, who I had no idea would be on my team, said ‘hey, you really still

got it. I’m playing pro and we need a guy like you. I’ll be in touch. So just from being disobedient to the Mrs. is how I was able to get the opportunity through a childhood influence.”

Dev Williamson, the owner of the Cardinals franchise, reached out to Kidd the very next day.

“We actually talked for hours about life and our journey to where we stand today,” Kidd said. “It was like reuniting with a long lost brother. We have so many commonalities and share a great love for the game and our communities. He has been nothing but encouraging and welcoming to me.”

Williamson feels fortunate to have a player of Kidd’s caliber join the Cardinals.

“We had been putting the word out to respected players that the Cardinals were looking to sign players,” Williamson said. “Good players surround themselves with other respected players and Chris’ name came up and I was excited to have him. We look forward to him contributing on and off the court and also being a difference maker on the court.

“His leadership qualities are another reason we look forward to having him. This is our third season and we’re looking to make the playoffs See KIDD B4

Robinson Cano hits 3 bombs in Mets’ win Tyler Kepner The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — The New York Mets have clung tightly to the hope that Robinson Cano’s stardom will return. He is signed through 2023, so perhaps they have no other choice.

“He’s always going to be able to hit,” manager Mickey Callaway said before batting practice Tuesday. “These Hall of Fame-type hitters, they don’t lose that ability to hit.”

Cano, an eight-time All-Star mired in his worst offensive season, may not reach Cooperstown — his failed test for performanceenhancing drugs last year will complicate his candidacy — but he might have had the best night of his 15-year career Tuesday against the San Diego Padres.

Cano, 36, slugged three home runs and added a single, driving in all the Mets’ runs in their 5-2 victory at Citi Field. He had 37 previous games with at least four hits, but this was his first with three homers.

“As a player, there’s a lot of things in the game that you would like to do, to see how it feels,” Cano said, smiling. “And it sort of feels good.”

The last Met with three homers in a game was Yoenis Cespedes in 2017. Cespedes has been injured this season, contributing to a lackluster

campaign for the Mets (46-54) in which they have been under .500 since May 29.

Cano entered the game hitting .243 with just six home runs, 22 RBIs and a .665 on-base plus

slugging percentage that was easily the worst of his career. Edwin Diaz, the closer who came with Cano from Seattle in a December trade, has also struggled at times, but Tuesday he recorded his 22nd save in 26 chances.

The save preserved a victory for left-hander Jason Vargas, who allowed one hit in six shutout innings, baffling the Padres with a biting changeup. The pitch plays off his fastball, which was averaging just 84.8 mph before Tuesday, according to Fangraphs, the slowest among all major leaguers with at least 80 innings.

“Throwing really hard isn’t as unique as it used to be,” said Vargas, who could be traded before the July 31 deadline. “I guess I’m on the other end of the spectrum.”

Cano pulled all of his homers to right field, the first and third landing in the upper deck.

He went deep in the fourth and sixth innings against Chris Paddack, a hard-throwing rookie right-hander, before connecting off left-hander Logan Allen in the seventh.

“One of the best arms in the game, a guy that has a bright future,” Cano said of Paddack.

“He’s got a good breaking ball, a good changeup and electric fastball. Thank God I’m able to just go and put up a good swing.”

For boxer Gervonta Davis, Baltimore homecoming fight is a chance to ‘show them anything is possible’ Childs Walker The Baltimore Sun

BALTIMORE — Gervonta Davis glided over the canvas to a thudding hip-hop beat, pumping his gloved fists in rapid-fire patterns.

Despite ponderous July heat that choked the air in the main room of the Upton Boxing Center, admirers crowded toward the ring apron, shooting cellphone video of the WBA super featherweight champion. He worked against the backdrop of a massive rectangular banner, touting his upcoming title defense against Ricardo Nunez at Royal Farms Arena.

One of Davis’ nicknames is “The One,” and at age 24, he moves like a man who believes he should be at the center of every room. But it’s not hard for him to flash back and look through the eyes of a 7-yearold boy who raced to this same West Baltimore gym every afternoon it was open. That kid was not fueled by fantasies of world titles, violent knockouts or adoring crowds. He would not have believed this scene, with all the attendant hoopla. The Upton Boxing Center drew him like a magnet because it was the one place he consistently felt loved, by his longtime trainer Calvin Ford and many others.

“I was taken away from my family when I was young, so just having that atmosphere, being around that crowd, it helped me a lot,” Davis said after his public workout on Thursday evening.

“That’s why I was passionate to come to the gym. It was boxing, but it wasn’t really boxing. It was the love.”

From a pure boxing standpoint, the July 27 fight against Nunez is hardly the most tantalizing on Davis’ horizon. The heavy-handed Panamanian is his mandatory title challenger, but Davis is favored to dispatch him quickly. In the greater arc of his life, however, this hometown title defense means a great deal.

“I’ve fought in London. I’ve fought in Los Angeles. I’ve fought in New York,” Davis said. “It’s time to bring one back home. Now is the perfect time.”

Because the undefeated Davis is a rising star, Showtime will broadcast a fight card from Baltimore for the first time in the network’s 33 years in boxing.

Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young has hailed Davis’ homecoming as “huge” for the city. Tickets have sold briskly, though some remain available.

Six years ago, as Davis prepared for his fourth professional fight in the gym at Coppin State, he was already saying, “I just want to bring happiness back to Baltimore.” But that was the last time he fought in his hometown. Fans had to travel or watch from afar to catch his steady rise to the top of the sport, built on a succession of thrilling knockouts.

Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe recalled Davis asking to fight in Baltimore almost as soon as he signed with the Las Vegas-based company. “That’s all he talked about,” Ellerbe said. “Wanting to be the guy to help these young fighters and show them that there’s a way out, no matter how bleak and dim things might seem.”

He said the young champion’s grin stretched from ear to ear when he was told a Baltimore fight was next after he knocked out Hugo Ruiz in February.

Davis yearns to be a beacon for the boxers springing from the same neighborhood that shaped him. When he was asked recently to describe his five-year plan, he listed helping those fighters right beside glitzier goals such as unifying titles and captivating pay-per-view audiences. He’s already put a spotlight on friends such as Malik “Iceman” Hawkins, who will fight on the undercard July 27.

“We grew up together, coming through the amateurs, so for me to be on the card when he’s fighting as a world champion, I’m thankful to him,” said Hawkins, who’s known Davis since he was in second grade.

that of the city as one and the same — a tale of resilience shot through with pain but also warmed by moments of genuine human caring.

He didn’t have a Baltimoreraised world champion to look up to when he first pulled on the gloves (though heavyweight Hasim Rahman had only recently lost his titles). But he didn’t much care. As a kid who’d spent time in foster care while addictions dragged both of his parents low, he depended more on the older boxers and trainers he saw every day.

Davis ticked off the names recently: Ronald “Rock” Gibbs, Angelo Ward, Ford’s son, Qaadir. “All of them got killed,” he said, evoking the grim calculus that’s always been part of his context.

Davis is old enough now that he’s also mourned contemporaries such as Montell “Telly” Pridgett, who’ve been consumed by the perpetual whirl of violence.

“It’s carrying pain,” he explained of growing up in Baltimore, “but trying to build off of it.”

Ford remembers the early days as clearly as Davis. He had recently completed a 10-year

prison stint thanks to his time as a lieutenant in a West Baltimore drug gang. He was trying to keep his own life straight in addition to tending the young boxers around him.

“Being a drug dealer is just like a habit too,” he said. “So as I was trying to make that transition to being a productive citizen, (Gervonta) really helped me. Keeping him straight helped keep me straight.”

Ford maintained a network of friendships with police officers, who’d call if they saw one of his young charges misbehaving on the corners.

He laughed, recalling the young Davis’ shrill calls of “Coach Calvin! Coach Calvin!”

He told the grade schooler that once he started punching in his dreams, he’d know boxing had truly hooked him. Sure enough, Davis reported one day that he’d dreamed of striding down an arena aisle with television cameras shining in his face.

Now, that’s his reality.

“We’ve done a lot together,” Ford said softly.

Davis knows that to achieve his goals, not just as a championship fighter but as a role model for his hometown, he needs to avoid the missteps

that have derailed him at times.

Those have included several arrests for fighting (the latest connected to an alleged Feb. 17 scuffle at a Northern Virginia mall) and the humiliating loss of his first title when he failed to make weight for a 2017 fight with Francisco Fonseca.

There are jagged edges to Davis, and he often alludes to them on his unfiltered Twitter feed, where he mixes boasts about women and money with pained ruminations about the friends he’s lost and the difficulties he navigates even within his own family.

“He’s made tremendous progress,” Ellerbe said. “When you’re as young as he is, sometimes success comes at such a rapid pace that you’re going to face adversity, you’re going to face challenges with people coming out of nowhere. You learn from your mistakes.”

Davis’ team has sought to keep him sharp for the Baltimore fight by reminding him of the upsets other boxers have endured in homecoming appearances — most recently super welterweight Jarrett Hurd, a Prince George’s County fighter who dropped his world titles on May 11 in Northern Virginia.

For his part, Davis promised he’s “more focused than I’ve ever been.” He began his 10-week training camp in Atlanta, but Ford said he’s worked in Baltimore for most of the last two months, sparring in the familiar ring at Upton and pounding out long east-to-west runs along North Avenue.

Ford joked that they’ve had to “move like ghosts” to avoid being overwhelmed by wellwishers. But both men felt it was important to train at home for a hometown fight.

“I always believed that if I was in arm’s reach of the kids, it would mean more than doing it from away,” Davis said. “I always wanted to give back and show them anything is possible.

I came from the same projects, the same block.”

Dwight Gooden looking to ‘get some help to save my life’ Des Bieler The Washington Post

After being arrested for the second time in six weeks, Dwight Gooden said Tuesday that he was set to enter a rehabilitation clinic.

“Basically, I’m going away tonight to try to get some help to save my life,” the 54-year-old former pitcher told the New York Post.

“I’m very embarrassed. Very shameful, I feel bad for anybody I disappointed or let down,” said Gooden, who was charged with driving while intoxicated late Monday evening in Newark, New Jersey, after police said they spotted his car going the wrong way on a one-way street.

Gooden’s June 7 arrest in Holmdel, New Jersey, landed him with drug-possession charges after police discovered “two small green zip-lock style plastic baggies” suspected to contain cocaine.

“I’ll be checking in tonight, whatever it takes,” Gooden, who has struggled with addiction for decades, told the New York Post. “This time, I mean, at my age, I’ve been doing this for 30-something years.

“I never thought I’d see myself at 54 going back to treatment. First time was at 21. But, you know.”

A Cy Young Award winner in 1985, Gooden was just 19 the year before when he exploded onto the major league baseball scene for the New York Mets.

He led all pitchers in strikeouts in each of his first two seasons, and he went on to go 194-112 over a 16-year career that included four all-star nods and a no-hitter while a member of the 1996 New York Yankees, who would win the World Series that year.

Gooden was a key part of the Mets’ 1986 team that won a championship, but what looked like a path straight to the National Baseball Hall of Fame became quickly derailed, at least in part, by drug use.

Gooden tested positive for cocaine in 1987 and missed games while in rehab After his baseball career ended in 2000, Gooden continued to run afoul of the law. He was arrested in 2002, 2005 and 2006 on charges including DUI, resisting arrest and domestic battery.

Gooden served over six months in prison in 2006 for violating terms of his probation by using cocaine. According to

Play-by-Play Announcer for the Albany Patroons, part of the NAPB league; Team Manager and Video Coordinator for Siena College Men’s Basketball in Loudonville, N.Y., and, most recently, Head Basketball Coach for the Marietta Mustangs, an ABA team based in Marietta, Ga. – a position that included coast-to-coast recruiting and team creation.

C-GCC Athletic Director Nick Dyer said he is hopeful that Parshall’s expertise in recruiting, play-making, and player growth will lead to a strong 2019-2020 season for CGCC’s men’s basketball team – the Twins – which compete

Callaway said Cano — whose career high for a season, 39 homers, came in 2016 — was bound to get hot. He had been hitting the ball hard with nothing to show for it, Callaway said, and was keeping his hands back instead of speeding up his swing to catch up to fastballs.

“You don’t hit three homers if you’re declining, when you’ve never done it in your career,” Callaway said. “The

reports at the time, he chose incarceration over reinstatement of his probation because he was worried about relapsing and getting a much longer sentence.

In 2010, Gooden was hit with child-endangerment charges as well as driving under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance, among other charges, after he was involved in a two-car accident in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. He was taking his five-year-old son to school at the time (per NJ.com), when his car struck one being driven by a 71-year-old man.

“I never thought I would make it to 50,” Gooden told the New York Post upon reaching that milestone in 2014. Described by the newspaper as having been “clean and sober for three years,” he said, “I’ve been to rehabs. I’ve been to counseling. I’ve been to jail. I’ve been in prison.

“The only place I haven’t been yet is the cemetery. That would be my next stop.”

If convicted of the recent drug-possession charges, Gooden could receive three to five years behind bars. After his arrest in Newark, he said in a text message to Newsday, “I really don’t know who I am right now and definitely don’t trust myself. This is the worst I’ve ever been through all my struggles.”

“It’s sad to see the continued problems of this former Mets star,” Newark Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose said in a statement, “but it’s an example of the persistent scourge of drugs and alcohol in this country and the stranglehold they have on addicts.”

In his comments Tuesday to the New York Post, Gooden was reported to be speaking outside his home in Piscataway, New Jersey, while wearing a hospital bracelet on his right wrist and his 1986 World Series ring on his left hand.

He said he spoke “for probably two hours” the previous week with former Mets teammate Darryl Strawberry, who has had his own battles with substance abuse. That indicated a better relationship between the two than in 2016, when Strawberry called the ex-pitcher “a complete junkieaddict” and Gooden responded with accusations of adultery and by saying that Strawberry “has always made our differences personal.”

as part of Region III of the National Junior College Athletic Association and the Mountain Valley Collegiate Conference.

“Ryan has a proven ability to win at a high-level of competition as an enthusiastic, collaborative leader,” he said, “and perhaps more importantly, to create and manage teams from the ground-up, resulting in better players overall.

“That has always been part of the C-GCC athletic philosophy, and exactly what this year’s team needs to excel at the collegiate level.”

power’s there, the swing is there, the hands are there. He went through a tough stretch, and a lot of players do that.

Robinson Cano probably hasn’t been through many of them in his career; almost everybody else has.”

The outburst gave Cano nine home runs this season and nearly equaled his preAll-Star break total of four.

The Mets were keenly aware of those figures.

“We were just talking about that,” Callaway said. “This game is crazy. That’s why it’s the best game in the world — anything can happen.”

Three reasons nobody wants to play for Team USA Kristian Winfield New York Daily News

Team USA won’t be sending its A team to the 2019 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers in China, and at this rate, they might not be sending their B team, either. USA basketball is an international juggernaut, and with Gregg Popovich coaching, they’ll be in good hands no matter who suits up. But why are so many top players passing up a chance to represent their country?

James Harden, Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Tobias Harris, Bradley Beal, C.J. McCollum, DeMar DeRozan and Eric Gordon have each withdrawn from Team USA’s training camp roster. Zion Williamson, who went No. 1 overall to the New Orleans Pelicans, also withdrew from the select team. At this point, maybe Pop should make good on Jared Dudley’s offer to suit up for his country.

Hey, Dudley’s still got something left in the tank, right?

Jokes aside, the roster asis should still stand a strong chance at running the table in August. The team has invited All-Stars, past and present, in Kemba Walker, Khris Middleton, Kyle Lowry, Kevin Love, Paul Millsap, Brook Lopez and Andre Drummond to training camp. Team USA will also have an influx of young talent, having invited Donovan Mitchell, Myles Turner, Jayson Tatum, Harrison Barnes, Kyle Kuzma, Aaron Gordon, D’Angelo Russell, Jaylen Brown, Julius Randle and Marcus Smart to camp, as well. Rockets wing P.J. Tucker has also been invited to camp.

The United States is still in position to three-peat as Gold Medalists when the Olympics roll around, but in order to

do so, they need to position themselves well in the qualifiers this summer. Thirty-two teams will compete against one another, and the sevenbest teams will automatically qualify for Tokyo. The remaining teams will be decided through four subsequent qualifying tournaments. The United States doesn’t need this thing going down to the wire.

That’s why it’s a bit eyeopening for superstar players to be withdraw at the rate they have. The reality, though, is they might be doing so for one of two reasons.

First and foremost, the FIBA World Cup begins on August 31 and carries two weeks until September 15. NBA training camp dates haven’t been announced, but historically, they begin open in late September.

That leaves players two weeks of rest at most before they ramp up the training in preparation for the 82-game NBA

season.

In this era of load management, players need their rest.

They’re not sacrificing it for Team USA, at least not this year.

Second, competing in international play also carries a considerable amount of risk.

After all, it wasn’t too long ago that Paul George suffered a gruesome compound leg fracture during a 2014 Team USA scrimmage. George missed all but the final six games of the 2014-15 season. He returned to superstar form and eventually signed a four-year, $139 million deal with the Thunder before being traded to the Clippers this summer.

Not everyone is as lucky as George. Injuries have derailed many careers, and it can take years for a player to recover to full form. DeMarcus Cousins, for example, ruptured his Achilles in New Orleans, then turned down a two-year, $40 million extension to sign a

in Binghamton this year. The ABA is the biggest and most diverse semi-pro basketball league available.”

Kidd has come a long way since earning a spot on the Columbia-Greene roster at the age of 32 after impressing coach Brian Smith during a one-on-one tryout. After graduating from C-GCC, he attended Sage College in Albany, left for College of St. Joseph’s in Vermont and eventually ended up back at Sage.

“Well, I had a few hiccups,” Kidd said. “One costly enough to have me transfer to St. Joe’s during the 2017-18 school year. And I’ll will say it was the most humbling, and painful experience of my college career, both ball and academic wise. I drove an hour and 45 minutes to school twice a week. Stayed in the dorms with teammates three, sometimes four or five times a week for classes and practices.

“It’s the middle of winter and my truck had no heat due to a broken thermostat and something else. It was, wow.

My wife was very upset with my decision to chase this and, of course, not being home for six months.

Once again, fate stepped in for Kidd, though, as it was at St. Joe’s where he met coach Alphonso Howlett.

“Coach Howlett taught me how to bring out the best in me and of my situation,” Kidd said. “I was able to help him recapture and refresh the culture of their program through my leadership on the floor.

I was able to provide more than just points and boards by being an example of taking advantage of second chances.

And man, those guys took to me like a real big brother.

“They helped me realize who I was as a player and leader and they became better ballers and men off the

court. It was a whole positive explosion of new beginnings for us all. Coach (Rob) Jarvis was always on me and also was a great influence and is still to this day. But, after finally finishing there. It was time to go home.”

Kidd had several schools he was considering to finish his college playing career, including Fredonia.

“Fredonia coach Seymore was a counselor in a time of need and an option that I could not take advantage of during the summer,” Kidd said. “He truly will be in my heart forever for understanding my family situation and keeping it real. They were just too far away.”

Kidd also considered Castleton in Vermont, but his heart kept pulling him back toward Sage.

“Fredonia and Castleton were finalists on the board before falling in love with Sage after C-GCC,” Kidd said. “So I had reached out to Coach Brian Barnes. He finally said OK let’s talk. Just to be back

where I dreamed was more than I could imagine.

Sage College is a great place to learn and obtain a degree.

It’s in the heart of the capital of New York and will forever be in my heart. Their culture, environment, atmosphere and the people are truly amazing. After a meeting with coach I was back and had something to prove to myself and the school and community.”

Kidd rewarded coach Barnes’ confidence in him by earning the school’s Male Athlete of the Year Award for 2018-19.

“Well, I can’t believe I’m actually the recipient of such a prestigious award,” Kidd said. “I really put my life on the line this past year. I was training all summer and weight lifted even during the season. Just old school to get better training.

“I also had help from an incredible training staff at Sage.

one-year deal at the mid-level in Golden State. He then tore his quadriceps in the playoffs and was forced to sign a veteran’s minimum deal with the Lakers.

Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson both suffered career-jeopardizing injuries on the Warriors in the playoffs, but their respective talents are so transcendent, anything less than a max contract would be disrespect of the highest level.

Not every player has that kind of talent, nor can they afford to risk their health for a team that, to be fair, can win without them anyway.

Team USA has some of the most talented players in the world, even if their most talented players have dropped out of Olympic competition.

Serbia boasts Nikola Jokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic. Ricky Rubio and Willy Hernangomez are expected to represent Spain, while Serge Ibaka hasn’t yet committed.

that award without their help.

They dealt with pulls, sprains, tweaks and so much more.

I just wanted to give back what I should have gotten for missing the year before. Not knowing I would accomplish or even be nominated for such a great achievement. I honestly just tried to be a part of every play, every practice and every game.”

Kidd said he will be eternally grateful to coach Barnes for the opportunity.

“Big B (Barnes) got me back in shape and was patient and faithful,” Kidd said.

“He treated me like I never left and I ended up having the best year I could even have asked for ever. I had made a mistake of thinking I was better than the team and lost myself. I learned quickly with the help of St. Joe’s that its not always greener on the other side. While God can’t lie and will provide. Don’t make your own way harder if you don’t have to.”

Now that he’s done with the college game, Kidd hopes to play professionally for a few years and eventually get into coaching.

“I just hope to be able to coach many years on the collegiate level, and some high school, too,” Kidd said. “I will be skills training and public speaking for all levels of schools. Of course, start my own Christian ministry and ball league. But before all that, have a seven-year career playing pro ball, which every time I say it out of my mouth it makes my heart skip a beat.

“I am truly blessed. Associate’s degree and now obtaining my Bachelor’s. I’m very happy to be a part of both college’s history and to be able to create my own. So I would say that my dream has come true and I’m now living new ones every day. I’m very proud to be a part of all that was before me and also making a new way and history for myself and family.”

Son’s career choice likely to upset fomer cop dad How should I tell my father that I have chosen a career he never wanted me to consider? I plan to become a police officer. Abby, all my life I have felt the call to help people. I know a career in law enforcement brings with it the possibility of danger, especially in today’s climate. I am passionate about this, and my wife fully supports DEAR ABBY it.

The issue is, my father was a police officer. He has always said he never wanted me to take that path. I understand all he wants is to keep me safe. At the same time, I don’t want to miss out on this career. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life regretting that I didn’t follow my heart. Should I go through with the testing and, if I am selected, tell him then? Please help, because this is keeping me up at night.

Following My Heart

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Your father loves you, but he cannot — and should not — dictate how you live your life. A career in law enforcement is not for everyone for the reason you mentioned. It would have been helpful if you had explained exactly what it was about policing that made him hate it, assuming that he told you.

When he finds out, expect him to be very upset and possibly angry about your choice.

But I see no reason why you should upset him before finding out if you qualify for a job in law

enforcement. If you do pass the exams, give him the news then.

My sister-in-law recently asked me for parenting advice. Our kids are about the same age, and she has been having issues with her preschooler’s behavior that I don’t have with my son.

Abby, the reason her kid is out of control is she and her husband don’t give him any limits. They don’t believe in saying “no” and try instead to “guide him to positive choices.”

They never discipline him, even when he hits or screams at them, and as a result, he’s mean and disrespectful. Little kids are uncomfortable with that much freedom.

Even though she asked, I don’t think my sister-in-law really wants my advice, at least not the advice I would like to give her. So what do I say when she asks? It’s clear they need help, but I’m judgmental and probably not a good messenger. I tried loaning her a parenting book I’ve used, but it didn’t take.

Parenting Advice In Canada Your sister-in-law may simply be venting her frustration when she dumps on you. When she asks for advice again, tell her that because you haven’t faced the problems she’s encountering, you don’t feel “qualified” to advise her. Then suggest she ask her pediatrician for guidance.

Can SAM-e help with both arthritis and depression?

I have been taking sertraline (100 mg) and bupropion for depression. Due to the number of medications I am on for physical ailments, I would like to be weaned off the antidepressants. In a recent column, you suggested that SAM-e might be a safe and effective alternative to antidepressants. Do you feel that it TO YOUR might be worthwhile to go off GOOD HEALTH the antidepressants and start on the SAM-e? In addition to SAM-e being helpful with depression, your recent column suggested that the SAM-e might help with joint problems. I have arthritis in my hip, but due to a history of stomach ulcers, I am reluctant to treat the arthritis with NSAIDs. Would you recommend trying the SAM-e for treating the arthritis in my hip?

DR. KEITH ROACH

You should never stop any medication without discussing this with the clinician who prescribed it. This is particularly true with medicines for psychiatric conditions that have the potential to cloud judgment.

I recommended SAM-e as an alternative to prescription antidepressants but did not mean to suggest that it is as effective as those prescription drugs. The combination of bupropion and sertraline is a common and often effective one, and I would again urge you to discuss whether your situation supports a trial of SAM-e or other alternative medication or non-medication treatment.

SAM-e for arthritis may be helpful, and it is possible, but not certain Several times you have mentioned herpesviruses. How many are there?

In the herpes family, there are eight viruses that primarily infect humans, as well as a few animal herpesviruses that rarely do so.

The herpes simplex viruses are the best known.

HSV-1 is the usual cause of oral cold sores, while HSV-2 is the usual cause of genital disease. In a few people, those can be reversed, but HSV2 is generally more severe than HSV-1. Very recent studies have shown that HSV-1 and HSV-2 can share genetic material in people who are infected with both strains.

Varicella zoster virus is the cause of chickenpox. Like all herpesviruses, it can remain dormant in the body for decades, and when it reactivates, it causes a localized reinfection called shingles.

Epstein-Barr virus is the classic cause of infectious mononucleosis. Cytomegalovirus causes similar monolike symptoms, and is a severe danger to people with immunosuppression. The unimaginatively named human herpesvirus 6 is similar, in that it can cause a mild monolike illness in healthy children. HHV-6 is also the most common cause of roseola. It is dangerous in adults and children with severe immune system disease, not only to the brain but to the lungs as well. HHV-7 rarely causes symptoms, but is also an occasional cause of roseola in children.

HHV-8 is the cause of Kaposi sarcoma, a cancer found in older men, but is much more common now in people with advanced HIV disease (AIDS).

Of the animal herpesviruses that can possibly infect humans, the one that is most frightening is called B virus. It is fatal in about 75% of the reported cases. It is a concern mostly in laboratory staff working around primates.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you can at times be overly reactive, answering unintended slights with insults or even physical violence. This is something that you will no doubt be instructed to “work on” again and again, and in time you will learn to put any sort of aggressive instincts away where they will do you and other people the least possible harm. You are likely to grow from a rather pugnacious youth into an adult who is temperate, rational and always eager to listen to what others have to say — even if you may disagree with the sentiments being expressed.

You were born with a sense that the whole world will give way to you if you work hard enough toward your own private ends. Though this may prove a source of frustration to you at times, you may actually find the world willing to grant you what you want — a combination of the stars’ influence and your own will and resolve.

Also born on this date are: Matt LeBlanc, actor; Walter Payton, football player; Estelle Getty, actress; Iman, model and actress; Walter Brennan, actor; Brad Renfro, actor; Illeana Douglas, actress.

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

FRIDAY, JULY 26 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You are sitting in a position of some strength and authority today, though you will want to wield that authority with sensitivity and respect.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You may not understand a recent negotiation from top to bottom, but you certainly appreciate what it allows you to do from this time forward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You will want to dispense with responsibilities quickly and in the proper order today so you have time for your own pet project later on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You cannot avoid all unpleasantness today, especially when it comes to a lesson that all family members have to learn sooner or later.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Personal growth will continue today after you come to the realization that what you do is all a product of who you have been in the past.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — News comes to you through the usual circles today, but it affects you in ways that you did not anticipate. Make swift adjustments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You impress others with your ability to handle things in stride.

What they don’t see is just how much effort it really takes to do so!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You want to do something that will mean more to you than any routine endeavors — and today, the opportunity arises to do so.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may have to negotiate with someone for the best available position as a certain contest begins. A friend offers valuable support.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — What begins in jest today is likely to become quite serious before you know it — but that shouldn’t come as a complete surprise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Any sort of procrastination can only serve to damage your credibility; you must be willing to address certain key situations as they arise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Making someone wait for the answer to a key question will likely only harm your own chances for advancement. You must make a quick decision.
