CATSKILL — Town officials voted to reduce the former Rite Aid’s assessed value by nearly $1 million on Tuesday.

Rite Aid contested its 2018 assessed value by entering into tax certiorari proceedings with the town. The Catskill Town Board reached an agreement with the company to reduce its assessment from $1.7 million to $734,500 in 2019 — a total of $965,500.

“This translates to a $7,657 loss in tax revenue to the county, $2,056 to the town, $23,133 to the village, $27,566

to the school and $1,086 to the library,” Town Supervisor Doreen Davis said.

The board unanimously approved the resolution, with the exception of Town Councilwoman Dawn Scannapieco, who was absent, and Town Councilman Jared Giodiano, who was not present for the vote.

“This ends all potential litigation between Rite Aid and the Town of Catskill,” Davis said.

Rite Aid is entitled to a refund for the excess taxes, according to the resolution ap-

Task force eyes dearth of rural lawyers

By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

A task force has been set up to look at the state of rural law practices across New York to determine if there is a lack of sufficient legal services.

State Bar Association President Henry M. Greenberg announced Tuesday the creation of the Task Force on Rural Justice to examine the issue. The vast majority of attorneys in New York state — 97% of them — live and work in either urban or suburban areas, causing concerns in the legal community, Greenberg noted.

“Research confirms what many attorneys in upstate New York already know — that there is an access to justice crisis in rural areas throughout New York and across the country,” Greenberg said.

Bittersweet goodbye: C-GCC president retires

By Kate Lisa Courtesy of Capital Region Independent Media

GREENPORT — Columbia-Greene Community College President Jim Campion has something in his office you’d never expect: A rusty shovel.

The old, flat-bladed tool was Campion’s grandfather’s, who immigrated to the United States from Italy in the early 20th century. He worked on the railroad and used the well-worn coal shovel to make his living.

“He worked really, really hard,” Campion said. “I keep it around to keep myself centered. In just two generations, it went from him arriving working on the railroad to me sitting in the college president’s office. It keeps you in check and helps me remember where we came from.”

Campion, 68, is C-GCC’s fifth and longest-serving president in the school’s

52-year history. He retires as the school’s chief Friday, July 5, after 19 years.

Campion has spent 51 years in the SUNY system between his education and career, earning an associate degree in liberal arts from Dutchess Community College, a bachelor’s degree in English from SUNY New Paltz, a master’s degree in educational administration and a graduate certificate in autism studies from SUNY Albany.

Originally from Hyde Park, Campion has been involved with the community college on an administrative level since 1974 — when it had one academic building in Athens in Greene County.

“It’s bittersweet,” the community college president said of his departure. “I’ve made a lot of friends and acquaintances COURTESY OF C-GCC at the college over the years. It’s diffi- C-GCC President Jim Campion rocking out on an electric guitar at the student picnic in May with college mascot, Rip. Campion is retiring from his post Friday

for all New Yorkers, regardless of where they live, and the important work of this task force will go a long way toward enacting the necessary reforms to achieve that goal.”

The newly formed task force will make recommendations for potential changes in law and public policy to support law practices amd make access to justice more available in the state’s rural communities.

While some rural areas of the state may have a lack of attorneys, Columbia County District Attorney Paul Czajka said he does not believe it is an issue locally.

“I think Columbia County is very lucky to have a substantial number of highly qualified attorneys in most areas of justice,” Czajka said.

“So although I recognize that may indeed be the case in some rural parts of upstate, I don’t think that is the case in Columbia County.”

However, Czajka added that there are some areas of law “that we really have no need for at present in rural areas,” such as securities law.

The state task force will examine the impact of rural attorney shortages on access to justice, the challenges of providing legal services in rural areas, and the needs of

cult to leave, but I’m looking forward to the next chapter of adulthood and to see what comes next.”

Campion stayed in the community college world, he said, because they typically have diverse student bodies, including students of all ages and people overcoming financial or academic barriers.

“I believe in education that’s accessible to everybody,” he explained. “I want to be in an environment that really gives people an opportunity to blossom.”

Campion lives in Livingston with his wife, Donna. He expects to start retirement enjoying time off before potential consulting or other part-time work. Most of all, Campion said he is excited to spend time with his family.

Jim and Donna adopted their three children, Florentina, 22, Robert Joshua, 21, and Elena, 20, biological siblings from Romania. Florentina came home in July of 1999 followed by Joshua in December 2000 and Elena in December 2002.

Robert Joshua and Elena have autism and other disabilities, Campion said, adding the communities in Columbia and Greene counties have shown them acceptance and support. The siblings graduated from the Germantown Central School District.

Having children, and two with disabilities, changed Campion’s thoughts about

2017.

The Hudson Rite Aid was transformed into a Walgreens in November 2018. The Greenville location remains open as a Rite Aid. The future of the shuttered Catskill store remains unclear.

Walgreens Boots Alliance, the owner of the Walgreens brand, announced it would buy approximately half of Rite Aid’s stores for $5.18 billion June 29, 2017. The Federal

Trade Commission approved an agreement Sept. 19, 2017 for Walgreens Boots Alliance to buy Rite Aid with 1,932 stores for $4.38 billion.

The purchased stores were primarily located in the Northeast and South, according to a statement issued by the company in September 2017.

“After all stores are acquired, stores are planned to be converted to the Walgreens brand in carefully planned

phases over time,” according to the statement.

But the company has not said which stores will be converted into Walgreens locations and which will be closed permanently and sold.

A Walgreens is located across from the Catskill store at 19 Central Ave., across from Burger King.

Walgreens is the secondlargest drug-store chain behind CVS.

rural attorneys. The group will also look to identify solutions.

The task force will be cochaired by Associate Justice Stan L. Pritzker from the Appellate Division, and Taier Perlman, a staff attorney at Albany Law School’s Government Law Center. Perlman is also the leader of the Rural Law Initiative.

In April, Perlman’s group published a report on rural law practices in New York state based on a survey of rural attorneys between August and October 2018. The survey found that the majority of rural law practices are comprised of either solo attorneys or small practices of two to five lawyers; many are “overwhelmed” by the volume of cases and limited resources, and have difficulty finding qualified attorneys to refer cases to.

Over half of rural attorneys are either at retirement age or close to it, according to the survey.

Dominic Cornelius, former public defender for Greene County and the current public defender in Columbia County, said he has noticed there is a shortage of attorneys in certain areas of law, but not others.

“I think that the attorneys who handle criminal matters generally have very significant case loads because the percentage of attorneys who handle criminal cases is small compared to the number of attorneys who

handle other forms of law,” Cornelius said. “And there is a small number of attorneys who practice in the family court, as well. Most attorneys are practicing either personal injury and handle transactional matters such as business, taxes, real estate, things of that nature.

You see the same names over and over in criminal and family court because there is such a limited number [of attorneys].”

Cornelius agreed with the survey’s finding that many rural, upstate attorneys are nearing retirement. The problem is especially acute in Greene County, he said.

“A lot of the attorneys who handle criminal matters in Greene County have retired so the pool has gotten pretty small,” Cornelius said.

He added that the problem is not a new one — there was a “significant shortage” back when he began practicing in 1995.

“The number of attorneys handling those types of matters has always been a problem,” Cornelius said.

The study found that 74.3% of lawyers responding to the survey were 45 years of age or older, suggesting the problem may only get worse in the coming decades.

Andrew Howard, president of the Columbia County Bar Association, said he has seen an aging of the active attorneys in the county.

“I think one of the challenges that the Columbia

County Bar has faced is that as attorneys have retired, at least anecdotally, it doesn’t seem that there is a new generation of attorneys coming in to replace them,” Howard said, adding that the aging of local attorneys mirrors the aging of the Columbia County population as a whole.

But while the state group has labeled the aging of rural attorneys an “access to justice crisis,” Howard would not go that far.

“I think certainly we do have qualified attorneys in Columbia County and in other nearby counties, and it doesn’t seem as if people are having trouble finding counsel — that hasn’t been my experience,” Howard said.

Terry McGee Ward with the Greene County Department for Aging helps obtain legal representation for seniors in the county ages 60 and up. There are dozens of older residents coming in for legal services. Many of them are seeking legal advice related to aging.

“In 2018 we served 74 seniors and the major topics are either elder care or elder law, which includes endof-life decisions and things like that,” McGee Ward said. “They also want credit advice, advice on landlordtenant issues, contracts and contract disputes, and billing issues as it relates to credit. Those seem to be the major issues we deal with.”

education.

“I’ve learned a lot from the kids: That it’s an imperfect world, that people struggle with challenges universally and I don’t think I’ve ever met anybody who didn’t have some sort of a challenge that they’ve faced and overcome,” Campion said. “That’s what’s always driven me in my career and the way I look at education.”

Since taking over as president, Campion has pushed the college through multiple fluctuations in student enrollment, the recession and, in 2018, setting up the college for the future with a $20 million capital project, which includes making parts of the campus compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, updating emergency and security systems, replacing important infrastructure, renovating space to host new programs and other energy-saving upgrades.

In addition to the capital project, the college’s new construction technology building is slated to be completed in August. Sixteen students are expected to start the program’s inaugural semester this fall.

Of his accomplishments, Campion said he is most proud of hiring a diverse group of talented educators, faculty and staff.

“We’ve been able to put together a team that has produced a ranking of second in the state,” he said of the college’s ranking on a recent WalletHub report. “We’ve worked hard to make sure we have a diverse community and student body. That led to student success and that’s what we’re

all about. If I contributed to that in some small way by hiring the right people and right jobs, I think I’ve accomplished something.”

Carlee Rader Drummer, president of Quinebaug Valley Community College in Danielson, Connecticut, was named to succeed Campion.

The search for a new president was a months-long process that ended at the SUNY Board of Trustees.

“The moment I set foot on campus, I knew I wanted Columbia-Greene to be my next home,” she said May 10.

“The faculty and staff deeply care about the students and their success and that’s what community colleges are about.

Columbia-Greene showcases that beautifully.”

Drummer will be formally appointed July 8.

“When Dr. Drummer comes on board, I think she’ll find an institution that is in a very good position academically, financially and well-placed and respected in the community,” Campion said. “I feel like I’m leaving behind an institution that will enable my successor to be successful.”

The college dedicated the President Emeritus James R. Campion Community Learning Commons, or Campion CLC, on June 17 in honor of

Campion’s contributions to the college, according to a statement from C-GCC. The learning commons is a technology-enhanced space, which will be used to host multidisciplinary events, courses and activities.

Campion continued to reflect on his tenure as his career draws to an end.

“Sometimes, people forget that we in higher education are in a very serious business and, sometimes, we take ourselves too seriously,” Campion said.

“I’ve tried to make a career out of not taking myself too seriously... but through it all, I’ve tried to never forget who I am, where I came from or who my friends are.”

the project. By supporting the project, subscribers also help prevent 2.4 million pounds of carbon emissions from entering the environment, benefitting the entire Johnstown community and beyond.

Common Energy worked in partnership with Kearsarge Energy, developer of the project, and National Grid to complete and connect the projects.

In addition, these projects are part of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA)’s Solar For All program, which brings clean energy to lower-income families and others in need.

“We are pleased to be part of these important projects that bring real economic and

environmental benefits to the entire community,” said Common Energy’s founder and CEO Richard Keiser. “Affordable clean energy has never been easier to access, and we are proud to enable residents and businesses across the region this opportunity to save money and lower emissions.”

Common Energy also announced the availability of additional projects in New York state, including in National Grid, NYSEG, Central Hudson, Orange and Rockland service territories.

These projects offer even more residents the opportunity to save money and lower emissions, and as such, are a key part of meeting New York’s renewable energy tar-

gets. Interested parties may enroll at www.commonenergy.us.

“Common Energy’s goal is to enable virtually anyone to save money with clean energy,” said Malcolm Bliss,

OUR VIEW

Courts, not clerks, should rule on law Next to abortion, no subject kicks up more dust than immigration. First it was the debate over “dreamers” — young undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children, usually with their parents. They should be allowed to remain in the country without the threat of deportation, by determination of a near-national consensus.

Allowing undocumented immigrants to have driver’s licenses generated more rancor, even though a simple law was enacted to separate the privilege of driving from the right to vote just by showing a license and declaring citizenship. Undocumented immigrants who stay out of trouble, as the clear majority do, should be eligible for driver’s licenses, not to mention work permits. In that case, they should be expected to pay taxes.

Now the law, which goes into effect in December, is being challenged as a growing coalition of county clerks say they will refuse to issue licenses to undocumented immigrants, and they are threatening to take their fight to court.

“You are asking me to give a government document to somebody who is in our country breaking federal law. That is 100% wrong,” Niagara County Clerk Joseph Jastrzemski said in a New York Times News Service report. “It compromises my oath of office to defend the Constitution.”

Closer to home, Columbia County Clerk Holly C. Tanner said that while she opposes the law, she will carry it out if it goes into effect.

“I was opposed to the bill for a number of reasons, especially regarding implementation,” Tanner said. “But we are a land of laws and if it is found to be upheld through the various legal challenges, my obligation is to follow the law.”

Among the implementation issues Tanner sees is how clerks will process foreign documents, possibly in languages they can’t read.

There are also issues with the “Not for Federal Use” designation that would be stamped on licenses issued to undocumented immigrants, Tanner said. That same designation

is included on standard driver’s licenses — unlike the new Real ID or Enhanced licenses that will enable the holder to use the license to board domestic flights beginning in October 2020 — and that is a confusing issue for many clerks, Tanner said, adding there are other questions that remain unanswered.

We can understand that county clerks have questions that must be answered. But what do we make of the implementation issues? Clerks should not be stymied by such issues for long. Documents written in foreign languages can be scanned in and translated.

Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said county clerks from around the state will meet Monday to discuss the law. He added that the issues go deeper than enabling undocumented immigrants to drive.

“From what I understand, it is not so much the driver’s license; it’s the ability to register to vote that concerns some people,” Groden said. “The way we understand it, when you fill out paperwork to register for a driver’s license, it includes a prompt that asks if you are a citizen and if you say yes, it automatically registers you to vote. The fear is that [the person’s] name will show up on a voter registration list, enabling them to vote.” This seems easily solved, as well. Just redact the citizenship question or remove it from the form.

We can only speculate why Tanner signed a letter addressed to President Trump asking him for guidance on the driver’s license issue, but we can guess what his advice will be.

We can’t accept this as just another form of strategy by the county clerks. We have to ask if they hold meetings and write to the White House every time a law changes or is added to the books. We have to ask if they nitpicked about the Enhanced Licenses or raising the drinking age to 21. Did they go to the president for them?

We can accept there will be legal challenges to the driver’s license law. But we think county clerks across the state should do their jobs, stop worrying and wait for the law to have its day in court.

ANOTHER VIEW

A conversation Congress needs to have (c) 2019,The Washington Post ·

Two senators want to take the conversation about election interference back to where it all began: advertisements. Russia’s Internet Research Agency purchased more than 3,500 of them on Facebook ahead of the 2016 election, the platform says - and, according to researchers, most were legal. Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Mark Warner, D-Va., are aiming to change that.

Klobuchar and Warner introduced the Paid Ad Act last week to stymie adversaries who pour money into swaying the U.S. electorate.

Foreign nationals would be prohibited from buying ads in any medium naming a candidate for office at any time, and foreign governments and lobbyists would be prohibited from buying what are known as “issue ads” during an election year.

Today, most of the requirements and restrictions governing political advertising focus on “electioneering,” or advocacy for or against a specific candidate. But the majority of Russian ads in 2016 latched on to controversial topics instead, from gun control to climate change to the Black Lives Matter movement. Those are issue ads, and they’re at the crux of the fight against election interference.

The gentler way to address these ads is to ensure that Americans know who paid to persuade them. This is the primary purpose of the Honest Ads Act, also spearheaded by Klobuchar. It would amp up disclosure requirements for domestic and foreign actors alike. But truly robust disclosure will require broader campaign finance reform preventing

ads’ funders from hiding behind the names of shady organizations. Without that, a Russian propaganda effort could masquerade in a disclaimer as “All- American Patriots.” There’s also the risk that even adding Vladimir Putin’s name in all caps to an ad would mean little to an everyday voter captivated by inflammatory content.

Still, barring issue ads altogether treads tricky free expression territory, not least because of the difficulty of defining what qualifies as a topic of sufficient political importance. True, foreign governments and lobbyists do not have First Amendment rights, but these rules would not only affect scheming Russians. Our North American neighbors, for example, might want to educate the American electorate about the U.S.Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade. And the United States has its own interests in funding the promotion of democracy abroad. What message would it send to other countries to bar them from advancing their views here as we advance ours there?

Klobuchar and Warner’s bill forces Congress to ask whether disclosure is enough - and if it is not, whether the threat of further foreign interference is enough to accept tamping down on countries’ ability to communicate their message beyond their borders. That is a crucial conversation for lawmakers to have. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who has refused to bring to the floor another valuable bill from Warner requiring presidential campaigns to report foreign interference, must let them have it.

Part 1 of 4 You would think that we just discovered the necessity for criminal justice reform, given its downright buzziness these days. Congress actually passed something or other about criminal justice reform.

It’s about time, yes?

New York state seems determined to pass meaningful reform this year. Hooray.

Here in the Twin Counties area there is a lively debate over how many cells are really needed in a new jail. Surely fewer than had been planned for before we decided that there are too many people in jail.

A friend sends me an article from The Guardian filled with details about the number of prison inmates in the USA compared to those in any other country in the world. No, we don’t come off too well.

We’re either a truly lawless society or we criminalize too much behavior that others don’t. Or both.

Another friend sends me an article about a candidate for DA in San Francisco whose parents have served lengthy prison sentences for being accessories to murder. His mother was released after serving out her sentence (over 20 years). His father is still in jail and has never expressed any remorse for the murder (nor, so far as I know, has the mother). Would you be surprised to know that their son, the DA candidate, thinks there are too many people in jail?

As a result of the killing of an unarmed black man by the police a couple of years ago, many of us first heard of the crime of being poor, meaning being jailed because you couldn’t pay a fine for a minor violation, like a traffic ticket.

And, of course, there are those who can spend a year or more behind bars awaiting trial, sometimes for pretty minor infractions, simply because they can’t come up with the bail money (we’re not talking about murderers or rich people here, folks). That’s no doubt because since they’re innocent until they’re proven guilty they belong in jail.

Criminal justice has even been a kind of grisly entertainment. The long dead and very famous 17th century English diarist Samuel Pepys, along with thousands of others, attended a public execution of a man who was hanged and then drawn and quartered.

Yes, that means being literally cut into four pieces, in case you were wondering. Much cheering, no doubt. William Makepeace Thackery, an

MY VIEW

MICHAEL

SALTZ 18th century English novelist, describes an execution attended by 40,000 onlookers.

In our own country, you can easily find photographic postcards people sent to friends and family. The pictures were of lynchings, some of them attended by thousands of people, men, women, and children, all dressed in their Sunday best.

There’s nothing new about any of this. Criminal justice reform is always needed because of ever-evolving patterns of criminality, and changing ideas of what it means to be civilized. Too, we never can decide what the purpose of imprisoning someone is, much less how to achieve it. Punishment?

Prevention? Rehabilitation?

Something else? What we decide today will surely change tomorrow, at least partly because, like the military, we are always planning to fight the last war and have no real idea what comes next. And we never want to pay the price, either in social disruption or dollars for whatever we decide. Or we have no real idea what the unintended consequences may be for our actions.

But I am struck again and again by the notion of people being jailed for the crime of being poor and so I want to tell you a story, one that has gnawed at me for 40 years, a story about a girl named Anne Marie Venne. She was a girl I never met, a girl whose life never meant much except, perhaps, to those whose lives she directly touched. But to the wider world, neither her life nor her death caused more than a temporary ripple, if that.

Anne killed herself on the night of December 21, 1979.

She hanged herself by a bed sheet that she had tied to the duct of a ventilator in the ceiling of her cell in the Albany County Jail just five days before she was due to be released. She was 16 years old.

On January 14, 1980, a Monday morning, I was sitting at my desk at the PBS’s MacNeil/Lehrer Report reading the New York Times. A headline caught my eye: “Suicide of Girl, 16, in Albany

Jail: Troubled Life, Troubling Death.” The first lines of the story by Clyde Haberman intrigued me enough to read the whole thing. “By anyone’s yardstick, Anne Venne had done a lot of living for a 16-year-old. Not much of it was good.”

I would have left it there, just another sad story like so many that one can easily find in the news, except for this: It was something that the girl wrote, Haberman said, while she was in George Jr. Republic, a non-profit residential shelter in Freeville, NY, where she had been sent in June, 1978 by the courts.

“I Am “I am: a prisoner of love “I am: a prisoner of life “I am: a prisoner of the world “I am: a prisoner of sacrifice “I am: a prisoner of” I read those words and I was caught. What was it about Anne Marie Venne that I found so magnetic? Was Anne simply a drama queen, a melodramatic teenager? Did she see something that was all too real in herself and the world around her? Did she kill herself to escape her prison, the trap that was her life?

Did she kill herself as a final thumb in the eye to everyone around her? She was just 16 years old!

You will at least understand that I found the story so compelling that I took a day off from work and spent a weekend trying to see if I could find out more than was in the NYT article, possibly something that I could turn into a … well, I wasn’t sure what. And so, on March 7, I flew to Plattsburgh in upstate New York, the closest airport to the town of Lyon Mountain in the northern reaches of the Adirondacks where Anne had lived. There I met with Anne’s mother, a seemingly physically and psychologically frail and exhausted woman who, perhaps, drank too much too often. Over the next couple of hours, she told me her version of her daughter’s life. I left with a carton filled with copies of the papers Anne had left behind, mostly letters to her and that she had written but never sent, random pieces of scribblings, and an orange notebook. And then, in the brief time I had left, I set out to find out whatever I could that was true of Anne Marie Venne’s life. And her death. (to be continued next Friday)

Australian student is released from detention in North Korea, Prime Minister says Gerry Mullany The New York Times News Service

An Australian man studying at a North Korean university who went missing last week has been freed from detention by the North, Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia said Thursday.

The student, Alek Sigley, 29, was pursuing a master’s degree in Korean literature at Kim Il Sung University in Pyongyang, the North’s capital. He had lost contact with his family and others early last week, prompting fears that he had been taken into custody.

Morrison, addressing Parliament on Thursday, confirmed that Sigley had been detained. He said that Swedish officials who were visiting North Korea had raised the issue of Sigley’s disappearance on Wednesday on Australia’s behalf. Sigley was then released Thursday morning and left the North, the prime

minister said.

Morrison did not say why North Korea had detained Sigley or where he went after leaving the North.

In the days since Sigley went silent on social media, North Korea offered no public hint as to what had happened to him.

His family said in a statement last Thursday that it was working with Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to seek information about his whereabouts and welfare.

In its statement, his family called him a “scholar and traveler” who has “visited, studied and lived in several countries in Asia” and is fluent in Mandarin and Korean.

Sigley posted frequently on social media, offering a revealing look at his life inside the reclusive North, posting images of things like food, restaurants and shops.

Lee Iacocca, visionary automaker who led both Ford and Chrysler, is dead at 94 Robert D. McFadden New York Times

Lee A. Iacocca, the visionary automaker who ran the Ford Motor Co. and then the Chrysler Corp. and came to personify Detroit as the dream factory of America’s postwar love affair with the automobile, died Tuesday at his home in Bel Air, California. He was 94.

He had complications from Parkinson’s disease, a family spokeswoman said.

In an industry that had produced legends, from giants like Henry Ford and Walter Chrysler to the birth of the assembly line and freedoms of the road that led to suburbia and the middle class, Iacocca, the son of an immigrant hotdog vendor, made history as the only executive in modern times to preside over the operations of two of the Big Three automakers.

Detractors branded him a Machiavellian huckster who clawed his way to pinnacles of power in 32 years at Ford, building flashy cars like the Mustang, making the covers of Time and Newsweek and becoming the company president at 46, only to be spectacularly fired in 1978 by the founder’s grandson, Henry Ford II. But admirers called him a bold, imaginative leader who landed on his feet after his dismissal and, in a 14-year second act that secured his worldwide reputation, took over the floundering Chrysler Corp. and restored it to health in what experts called one of the most brilliant turnarounds in business history.

He accomplished it with a controversial $1.5 billion federal loan guarantee, won by convincing the government that Chrysler was vital to the national economy and should not be allowed to fail, and with concessions from unions, new lineups of cars, and a new national spokesman — himself — featured in a decadelong

J. EMILIO FLORES/THE NEW YORK TIMES

FILE — Lee A. Iacocca, the visionary automaker who ran the Ford Motor Co. and then the Chrysler Corp. and came to personify Detroit as the dream factory of America’Äôs postwar love affair with the automobile, died Tuesday, July 2, 2019. He was 94.

Iacocca at his home in Bel Aire, Calif., on July 18, 2005.

television advertising campaign.

A heroic figure to many Americans, he became chairman of a project to restore the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and was in demand for speeches and public appearances that took on the color of a campaign. He conferred with President Ronald Reagan, members of Congress, governors and business leaders. He was mobbed by admirers and pursued by the press.

Polls confirmed that a run for the White House was realistic, and his denials of political ambition only fueled public interest in a possible candidacy.

But by the late 1980s, storm clouds that Iacocca and other auto executives had long ignored were gathering. The stock market had plunged in 1987, and Japan, long since recovered from the disasters of World War II, had become a world-class economic power, whose fuel-efficient cars were flooding the United States.

Americans wanted reliable, well-built cars with innovations like air bags, and Honda and Toyota were supplying them.

Trying to reverse the de-

cline, Iacocca established partnerships with Mitsubishi, Maserati and Fiat, but they were no panacea. Finally surrendering to pressures to step down, he hired Robert J. Eaton, the head of GM’s European operations, as his designated successor, and retired as Chrysler’s chairman and chief executive in 1992.

“He’s like Babe Ruth,” Bennett E. Bidwell, a retired Chrysler executive, said of Iacocca. “He hit home runs and he struck out a lot. But he always filled the ballpark.”

He was born Lido Anthony Iacocca on Oct. 15, 1924, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, one of two children of Nicola and Antoinette Perrotto Iacocca, immigrants from San Marco, Italy, who named him after the Venice beach resort. He and his sister, Delma, grew up in Allentown.

Their father had little education. He started as a hot-dog vendor in Allentown, borrowed money and went into real estate and other ventures.

But he later acquired several movie theaters and opened one of the country’s first carrental companies with a small fleet of Fords, and Lido grew

up talking cars with his father.

At Lehigh University in nearby Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, he graduated after three years with a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering.

He also impressed a Ford recruiter and was hired for an executive training program.

He decided to change his foreign-sounding first name to Lee, a serious concession for a young man proud of his ethnicity.

In 1956, Iacocca married Mary McCleary, a Ford receptionist in Chester, Pennsylvania. They had two children, Kathryn Iacocca Hentz and Lia Iacocca Assad, who survive him, as do a sister, Delma Kelechava, and eight grandchildren. His first wife died in 1983 from complications of diabetes. In 1986 he married Peggy Johnson, a former flight attendant. The marriage was annulled in 1987. In 1991 he married Darrien Earle, whom he divorced in 1994.

He learned the subtle, sometimes brutal, strategies of the executive scramble. But he outmaneuvered rivals for the executive suite and was named president of Ford in 1970, the No. 2 post, reporting only to the chairman, Henry Ford II. Ford fired Iacocca in July 1978, saying he just did not like him. He never gave more detailed reasons. Several months later, Iacocca joined Chrysler.

After retiring, Iacocca moved to Bel Air, California, where he invested in electric bicycles, olive oil and other ventures and promoted diabetes research.

In addition to his autobiography, Iacocca wrote “Talking Straight” (1988) with N.R. Kleinfield, then a reporter for The New York Times, and “Where Have All the Leaders Gone?” (2007) with Catherine Whitney.

Iran warns it will restart reactor FUNERAL DIRECTORS if Europe misses deadline Golnar Motevalli, Arsalan Shahla Bloomberg

Iran warned it will restore a mothballed reactor and step up enrichment if European nations fail to offer it economic guarantees by a July 7 deadline, escalating a crisis that threatens to collapse the 2015 nuclear accord and plunge the Gulf into renewed uncertainty.

“If you don’t meet all your commitments according to the timetable and plans, the Islamic Republic will restore the Arak reactor to its previous condition,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday in remarks addressed to European signatories to the agreement, Mehr news agency reported.

“Our level of enrichment will no longer be at 3.67%,” he said. “We put aside this commitment and will increase enrichment as we please.” Under the international deal struck four years go, Iran had poured concrete into the heavy-water reactor at Arak, which was to be modernized so it couldn’t produce plutonium and ease the path to a nuclear weapon.

Tehran has repeatedly threatened to abandon some of its accord commitments as it counters the crippling economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. since it left the multilateral pact more than a year ago.

On Monday, it exceeded the 300-kilogram (661-pound) cap on its stores of uranium enriched to 3.67%, saying the deal allowed it to protect its interests if another party had abrogated terms.

European nations have come up with a financial

vehicle, known as Instex, that’s designed to protect trade with Iran, but Iranian officials say it needs to be accompanied by a mechanism to skirt American sanctions on purchases of Iranian oil to be effective.

Attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for oil shipments from the Middle East, and the Iranian downing of an American drone have raised concerns of another war in the region as the standoff escalates.

The nuclear deal was designed to prevent Iran from breaking out and constructing a weapon within a year, as the U.S. and its allies feared. The Arms Control Association, a Washington nonprofit, estimates Iran would need about 1,050 kilograms (2,315 pounds) of uranium enriched to 3.67% to build one bomb. The

material would then need to undergo further enrichment.

President Donald Trump says he wants to negotiate a better deal that would also restrict Iran’s missile program and support for armed proxies around the region. But Iran says it can’t be forced to negotiate while its economy and — more recently — its leaders are targeted by the U.S. Instex is mainly intended to facilitate trade of basic goods such as food and medical products, but not the oil sales that are Iran’s lifeline and a main target of the sanctions. Iran says it can’t be expected to abide by the accord while the U.S. penalties rob it of the economic benefits it was promised in exchange for curbing its nuclear program.

In ‘Yesterday,’ imagine there’s no Beatles

By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

For most of its length, “Yesterday” is a treat. It promises an ingenious speculative theme — suppose the Beatles, as a group, never existed — and it delivers.

But it’s something more. Director Danny Boyle and his script collaborator Richard Curtis have taken an otherwise ordinary romantic comedy, with a sci-fi premise at its center, and turned it into an intelligent exploration of how pop culture is woven inextricably through our lives.

The intelligence is key here, because the movie could have rested on its laurels and laid out the disappearance of the Beatles from our collective memory in a dull, literal-minded way. The central fantasy could have been fobbed off with comic-book simplicity as a “What if?” tale lacking reverberations. But this is Danny Boyle, who has made terrific movies such as “28 Days Later” and “Slumdog Millionaire.” He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Jack Ramik (Himesh Patel,

Himesh Patel and Ed Sheeran in a scene from ‘Yesterday’.

who couldn’t be better) is a teacher who left the classroom to pursue his dream of writing and performing songs. He plays small clubs in London’s West End, he has a gruff yet pleasant singing voice, but his audiences are tiny. His roadie and best friend, Ellie (Lily James), drives Jack to his gigs and lends moral support to the struggling musician.

In these early scenes, it’s clear that they are attracted to each other, but Jack is the more diffident of the two, and Ellie is the more outgoing. Then Jack is

riding his bicycle late one night on his way to see his parents when the world experiences a 12-minute global power outage.

In the darkness, Jack is hit by a bus and knocked unconscious.

He awakens to learn John, Paul, George and Ringo never came together and no one has ever heard of their songs.

Jack begins to write and play the Beatles’ songs (except for “Eleanor Rigby,” which gives him trouble) to happily introduce the group’s music to his friends and the world, but Boyle and Curtis set a different course

by staying almost entirely with Jack and his perspective. In a sense, Jack becomes bigger than the Beatles, and so we develop a keen and serious interest in his plight.

It would be malpractice to reveal more about a story that figures out new surprises to spring on us in every scene. Boyle and Curtis keep coming up with new and inventive turns while staying focused on developing their premise. What would happen if the Beatles never were? The movie also asks what would happen if someone tried to drop the Beatles’ music into today’s corporate music scene where Ed Sheeran rules the day?

“Yesterday” is an engaging movie marred by a weak third act. Thus, Kate MacKinnon’s satisfying and hilarious performance as a nasty talent agent takes place on screen as a variation of the “Faust” theme, and the story takes on more weight than it can handle. Significance is imposed on the plot, not acted by the actors. And though the difference is small, it feels big.

TSL Movies July 4 - July 11 n Yomeddone — Beshay, a man cured of leprosy, has never left the leper colony in the Egyptian desert where he has lived since childhood. Following the death of his wife, he decides to go in search of his roots. With his meager possessions strapped to a donkey cart, he sets out. Quickly joined by Obama, the Nubian orphan he has taken under his wing, Beshay will cross Egypt and confront the world with all its sorrows, its hardships, and moments of grace, in his quest for a family, a place to belong, a little humanity. In Arabic with subtitles.

1h37m. n The Proposal — Known as “the artist among architects,” Luis Barragán is among the world’s most celebrated architects of the 20th century. Upon his death in 1988, much of his work was locked away in a Swiss bunker, hidden from the world’s view. In an attempt to resurrect Barragán’s life and art, boundary redefining artist Jill Magid creates a daring proposition that becomes a fascinating artwork in itself – a high-wire act of negotiation that explores how far an artist will go to democratize access to art. 2018. 1h23m. n Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché — Narrated

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

1h43m. n The Spy behind Home Plate — This is the story of Morris “Moe” Berg, the brilliant Jewish baseball player turned spy. Berg caught and fielded in the major leagues during baseball’s Golden Age in the 1920s and 1930s. But very few people know that Berg also worked for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), spying in Europe and playing a prominent role in America’s efforts to undermine the German atomic bomb program during WWII. The documentary reveals the life of this unknown Jewish hero through rare historical footage and photographs as well as revealing interviews with an All-Star roster of celebrities and other individuals from the worlds of sports, spycraft, and history. 2019. 1h41m. n The Third Wife — In 19th century rural Vietnam, 14-year-old May becomes the third wife of wealthy landowner Hung. Soon she learns that she can only gain status by asserting herself as a woman who can give birth to a male child. May’s hope to change her status turns into a real and tantalizing possibility when she gets pregnant. Faced with forbidden love and its devastating consequences, May finally comes to an understanding of the brutal truth: the options available to her are few and far between. In Vietnamese with subtitles. 1h36m. n A Bigger Splash — New Restoration. When David Hockney’s beautiful lover, Peter Schlesinger, breaks up with him, it leaves David a complete emotional wreck. An artist, he suddenly finds himself unable to create anything, and is awash in depression and loneliness. After a time, David is able to find inspiration in his backyard swimming pool, and he begins a portrait of it. This unique docudrama presents a semi-fictionalized account of the story behind one of Hockney’s most popular paintings. 1974. 1h46m. n The Wandering Soap Opera — Filmed by Chilean master Raúl Ruiz in 1990 but left unfinished until it was completed by his wife and collaborator Valeria Sarmiento in 2017. A dreamily interconnected series of vignettes that spoof on telenovela conventions while reflecting Ruiz’s feelings upon returning to his native Chile after more than 15 years away.

In one episode, a man seduces a woman by showing her his muscles, which are actually slabs of raw meat slapped into her hand.

Later, the man has a gun pulled on him when he accuses a poet of plagiarism. Meanwhile, through the television screen, five women have lost their husbands after an earthquake and embrace a better future together. In Spanish with subtitles. 1990/2017. 1h18m. n In the Aisles — When the reclusive Christian (Franz Rogowski,

Transit) takes a job working the night shift at a big box store, his new manager, Bruno from the Beverage Department (Peter Kurth, Babylon Berlin), teaches him the lay of the land and the delicacy it takes to operate a forklift.

Christian becomes enamored by his charming but mysterious coworker “Sweets Marion” (Sandra Hüller, Toni Erdmann), with whom he begins to share flirtatious break room coffees and conversations.

But Marion has secrets of her own, and when she suddenly goes on sick leave, Christian is tempted to fall into habits of his dark past. An affecting and bittersweet glimpse into the shared connections of a motley group of workers, In the Aisles quietly celebrates the beauty in the day-to-day and the collective pride we take in our jobs with dark humor and nuance. In German with subtitles. 2h5m.

Eilen Jewell comes to Helsinki Hudson HUDSON — Eilen Jewell, self-styled “queen of the minor key,” brings her blend of noirish rockabilly, surf-tinged country, retro-rock and jazzy folk to Club Helsinki Hudson on Saturday, July 6, at 9 p.m. In addition to fan favorites, Jewell will be previewing numbers off her upcoming album, Gypsy, set for release in midAugust. Eilen is calling this her favorite album yet, promising “new sounds, old sounds, electric guitar-driven rockers, classic country, tender ballads, a Pinto Bennett cover, and a protest song.”

Idaho native Jewell, a longtime favorite of Helsinki audiences, emerged from Boston’s thriving indie-roots music scene in the mid-oughts and has established herself as a solidly rootsy vocalist and Americana songwriter since that time. Jewell’s influences are as varied as Billie Holiday and Bob Dylan, Gillian Welch and Bessie Smith, Patsy Cline and Howlin’ Wolf. You might even hear some Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley in some of her work. Somehow she blends all these disparate approaches and more and carves out a unique musical niche for herself as singer, songwriter, guitarist, and harmonica player.

Jewell leads a tight quartet that blends influences of surf noir, early blues, rockabilly,

and 1960s era rock ‘n’ roll.

Over the course of a decade, Jewell and her band have toured relentlessly. They have performed for legions of fans from Boston to Boise and Madrid to Melbourne at festivals, theaters, rock clubs, and coffeehouses. Jewell’s fans marvel at her warmth, unique wit, and onstage humor alongside her beautiful songs and fiery performances.

Since her official 2006 debut, “Boundary County,” Jew-

ell has surveyed a wide range of traditional musical styles, from the folk and jug band leanings of her early recordings through an album-length homage to Loretta Lynn and the country gospel of her work with the Sacred Shakers, through 2009’s “Sea of Tears,” which bristled with the electricity of 1960s UK garage rock and Chicago blues.

Jewell’s fifth studio album, “Sundown Over Ghost Town,” was recorded with

her longtime road band in her hometown of Boise, and is composed of twelve stunning, original compositions that feature some of her most personal stories yet.

Saugerties 9-10s top Hudson to win District 15 title

By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

LOGAN WEISS/COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Saugerties 11-12 year-old All-Star Jake Martino trots around the bases after blasting a two-run homer in the fourth inning of Tuesday’s District 15 game against Northern columbia in Kinderhook.

Saugerties 11-12s top NoCol to force onegame playoff

By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

KINDERHOOK — Jake Monroe fired a three-hitter and was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle to lead Saugerties to a 12-1 victory over Northern Columbia in Tuesday’s District 15 11-12 year-old Tournament game.

The victory forces a onegame playoff between the two teams for the District 15 title on Monday at 5:30 p.m. in Chatham.b Monroe struck out two and didn’t walk a batter before the game was stopped after four complete innings because of the mercy rule. He also drilled a two-run homer, a double and single to highlight Saugerties’ 11-hit attack.

Saugerties jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning when Anders Forrest drew a two-out walk and Zane Devries-Lapson blasted a tworun homer over the left field fence.

Northern Columbia responded with a run in the bottom of the first when Chase Morrison reached on an error, Johnny Rivero was hit by a pitch and Liam Mullins laced

an RBI single.

Saugerties boosted its lead back to two in the second as Trevor Bodie singled, Jake Monroe slugged a ground-rule double and Tyler Van Valkenburg walked to load the bases.

Forrest followed with a walk t force in Saugerties’ third run of the game.

The score remained 3-1 until the fourth when Saugerties put the game out of reach with a nine-run uprising. Monroe’s two-run bomb was the big blow in the inning. Dylan McCaig had a two-run single and Forrest and Tanner Pesce each had a run-scoring single.

Devries-Lapson finished with a home run, single and two RBI for Saugerties. Van Valkenburg added a double and single, Forrest had a single and two RBI, McCaig a single and two RBI, Pesce a single and an RBI and Bodie a single.

Northern Columbia’s three hits — all singles — came from Mullins, Morrison and Wyatt Dolge.

Rivero (3k,5bb,3r,3h), Dolge (4k,8r,6h) and Tyler Van Allen (1r,2h) all pitched for Northern Columbia.

HUDSON — Michael Gramoglia doubled twice and drove in three runs to highlight an 11-run first inning and Saugerties went on to defeat Hudson, 13-2, to win the District 15 9-10 year old championship on Wednesday.

Gramoglia also singled and finished with four RBI before the game was stopped in the fourth inning because of the 10-run rule.

After Hudson went down without scoring in the top of the first, Saugerties went to work. Max Morris walked and Danny Sullivan reached on an error to set the table for Gramoglia, who belted the first of his two doubles in the frame to put Saugerties up, 2-0.

After a strikeout, Liam Lenuso walked an Cody Pesce stroked a two-run single.

Chase Brott ripped a two-run single and Nick Fellows was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to force in another run.

Sullivan reached on an infield error to chase home two runs and Gramoglia followed with his second double of the inning, coming around to score on the play on throwing errors. Reid Myers tripled and scored the final run of the uprising on an error.

Hudson fought back with two in the top of the second.

Amarion Perry singled and came around to score on Elijah Walker’s triple. Walker eventually came home on Joseph Simmons’ fielder’s choice.

Saugerties was retired in order in the second, but added two more runs in the third on a run-scoring single off the bat of Gramoglia and Ienuso’s fielder’s choice RBI. Hudson didn’t score in the top of the fourth and the game was called at that point.

Walker’s triple was Hudson’s lone extra base hit. Mason Briscoe, Darren Weaver and Perry all singled. Simmons

THE NEW YORK TIMES

New York Yankees Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig.

Lou Gehrig had finally made it to the New York Yankees’ clubhouse that afternoon, drained and drenched with perspiration, having delivered a speech of such simple eloquence that it would one day be called baseball’s Gettysburg Address.

Lou had wept as he spoke — as did many of the nearly 62,000 other people in Yankee Stadium on that Fourth of July 80 years ago.

Back in the comfort of the clubhouse with teammates and friendly reporters around him, he asked, “Did my speech sound silly?” It was a humble man’s question with an easy answer: it did not.

Much of the speech no longer exists as an intact recording; poor preservation of newsreels has left only four known surviving lines.

The opener — “For the past two weeks, you’ve been read-

ing about a bad break” — leads into the “luckiest man” declaration, which was shifted to the end of “The Pride of the Yankees,” the 1942 film about Gehrig, starring Gary Cooper, for dramatic impact. In another extant sentence, he refers to his 1939 teammates as “finelooking men” who are “standing in uniform in the ballpark today.” And his last line also survived: “And I might have given a bad break but I’ve got an awful lot to live for.”

If we think we know a complete speech, it is because of the version that Cooper delivered in “Pride,” which borrowed from what Gehrig’s wife, Eleanor, remembered of July 4, 1939, and from newsreels that had not yet wasted away or been discarded. Cooper had morphed into Gehrig, not because he looked like him or could play baseball like him, but because he knew so well how to play men of quiet See GERHIG B8

Skaggs’ death stirs memories in Ausmus Dylan Hernandez Los Angeles Times

ARLINGTON, Texas — The sensation was familiar, the overwhelming sadness that made him break down in the middle of a news conference.

“This feels identical,” Brad Ausmus said. “It really does.”

Seventeen years ago, Ausmus lost a friend when former batterymate Darryl Kile died in his sleep.

Ausmus was catching for the Houston Astros at the time. Kile had moved on to the St. Louis Cardinals.

No matter.

This week, Ausmus lost another friend when 27-year-old pitcher Tyler Skaggs was found unresponsive in the Angels team hotel.

Ausmus is the Angels manager. Skaggs was a player.

No matter.

“I’ll miss him,” Ausmus said through tears.

“As far as wearing the manager hat,” Ausmus said, “I’m just wearing an Angels hat right now.”

The scheduled series opener against the Texas Rangers the previous day was postponed.

TOM PENNINGTON/GETTY IMAGES They resumed play Tuesday.

Manager Brad Ausmus of the Los Angeles Angels prepares to take Before that, Ausmus adon the Texas Rangers as the jersey of Tyler Skaggs hangs in the dressed Skaggs’ sudden death in dugout at Globe Life Park in Arlington on Tuesday in Arlington, a news conference at Globe Life Texas.

Park, along with Angels owner

Arte Moreno, president John Carpino and general manager Billy Eppler. The players were on the far side of the room, spread out over a couple of rows of white folding chairs.

Ausmus reacted more like a player than he did a member of the front office.

As several of the players covered their heads with the hoods of their sweatshirts or their tearful eyes with their hands, Ausmus wept into the microphone in front of him.

And so Ausmus’ first test as Angels manager will be a cruel and unfair one, nothing to do with running a pitching staff or caring for two-way player Shohei Ohtani. He will have to oversee a team in mourning when he is in a similar emotional state.

“We’re all kind of in the same boat on this one,” Ausmus said.

“We all feel a tremendous loss.”

Jeff Mathis predicted as much earlier in the Rangers clubhouse.

Mathis played for the Angels when pitcher Nick Adenhart and two friends were killed by a drunken driver after a game.

He also played for the Miami Marlins when pitcher Jose Fernandez died in a cocaine-fueled boating crash.

Mike Scioscia managed the Angels when Adenhart died and Don Mattingly the Marlins when Fernandez perished.

“I remember seeing them walking around, just like everybody else, in shock and numb and all those terrible feelings,” Mathis said.

Ausmus said several people reached out to him over the last couple of days, “including managers who have gone through similar experiences.”

He wouldn’t say whether Scioscia was one of them.

“To a man, it’s the same advice, and that is, there is no handbook for this,” Ausmus said. “You’ve just kind of got to go with your honest feelings. If you do that, then you’re not going to be wrong.”

Ausmus at least knows how a loss like this could affect a player.

He caught Kile on the Astros in 1997. They remained in contact even after Kile continued his career elsewhere. Ausmus was affected by Kile’s death in June 2002.

“Once the game starts, it’s actually a refuge because it takes your mind off it, distracts you for a little while,” Ausmus said.

“When you go back to your hotel room, you’re reminded of reality.”

Tony La Russa was the manager of that Cardinals team.

Of Skaggs’ death, La Russa said in a phone interview, “I think it’s very similar to what we went through.”

Like Skaggs, Kile was wellliked.

“Darryl was our leader,” La Russa said.

Like the Angels, the Cardinals decided to resume play a day after tragedy struck because they felt that’s what their deceased pitcher would have wanted.

The Cardinals lost five of the first seven games they played after Kile’s death.

“We had no energy,” La Russa said.

La Russa said he and his coaches, as well as general manager Walt Jocketty, agreed on what they wouldn’t do to address the problem.

“We all thought the wrong thing to do would be to push the players to put that aside,” La Russa said. “We thought that was not sympathetic. We tried to bring them back slowly. This was such a unique thing.”

“That’s what you do as a family,” La Russa said.

US shows no arrogance, just excellence in win over England Greg Cote Miami Herald

Julie Foudy, the former U.S. soccer star turned broadcaster, refers to current American national team players as “owning their awesome.”

That stops short of what we are seeing, and what so many seem to be objecting to.

The U.S. is doing more than “owning” the excellence, their players are earning it. Enjoying it. Reveling in it.

Some call that arrogance. I call it appreciating what you have worked your whole life to achieve.

Tuesday the remarkable U.S. World Cup run continued with a tense 2-1 victory over England in the semifinals round in Lyon, France. American star Alex Morgan celebrated her 30th birthday with the winning goal in the 31st minute, after Christen Press had given the U.S. an early lead and England equalized with Ellen White.

The Americans have never lost (62 wins, 10 draws) in the 72 games in which Morgan has scored for the national side — but it took a pair of huge second half breaks for the Americans to prevail this time and advance.

One was a second White goal for the Brits waved off for offside, with replays verifying the negation as a good call by perhaps a foot’s length.

The second scare averted: A British penalty kick stopped by U.S. goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher in the 84th minute as she dove to her right and smothered a low shot — the biggest save of her career without doubt.

Don’t say the U.S. was lucky to win. Not when the proper call and a lifetime-achievement goalie play cost the Brits.

The U.S. ledger in France thus far is now a 6-0 record and 24-3 goals differential — its No. 1 world ranking underlined. And with Tuesday’s triumph coming despite the absence of star Megan Rapinoe, who had scored America’s last four goals coming into the match. She did not participate in pregame warmups and missed the game injured.

One game left now: Sunday’s championship match vs. the winner of Wednesday’s Netherlands-Sweden semifinal. The U.S. already has beaten Sweden in group play and will be a favorite over either squad.

The Daily Mail of London had wondered in a big headline Monday, “Are these US World Cup stars just TOO arrogant?”

Then seemed to answer their own question with a subhead declaring, “Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan are so unpopular that even France will be backing England in (Tuesday’s) semifi-

nal.”

Clearly, in Great Britain, the word arrogant is pronounced “jealousy.”

England’s women have never won a World Cup, or even reached a final.

The U.S. are now one win away from their fourth championship in nine Women’s World Cups, and second in a row.

The Daily Mail article mentioned how U.S. players kept celebrating goals in the 13-0 rout of Thailand that began this American World Cup run — as if scoring the biggest goal of your life on the globe’s biggest stage in your sport doesn’t merit feeling good and, maybe, you know, showing it?

The article also mentioned U.S. defender Ali Krieger saying, “We have the best team in the world, and the second best,” meaning the American backups. She may be right. You have a case when you win sans Rapinoe and when Carli Lloyd is coming off your bench. How about you prove Krieger wrong, rest of the world?

The article ended by mentioning the “hubris” of America’s “all-conquering multimillionaires.” Those would be the same women who are fighting for equal pay with their U.S. male counterparts when they

have earned so much more.

Quick aside: Based on the reaction to goals and the “US-A!” chants during the game, it sounded like the crowd was slightly pro-U.S. or at least evenly split.

My perspective is flavored because, you see, in Miami, where I’m from, we sort of like a bit of arrogance in our teams.

We hope they’re good enough to earn it Miami Hurricanes football likes to say it invented swagger, and preened while winning in much of the 1980s into the ‘90s.

The LeBron James/Big 3-era Miami Heat also was hated all over the rest of the country, and they — and we — loved it.

Small degrees separate confidence from cockiness from arrogance, and the U.S. keep proving they are the best in the world.

No. 2-ranked Germany entered this World Cup thinking it could dethrone the Americans, but was ousted in the quarterfinals.

No. 3 England believed it was ready to beat the U.S. Tuesday.

It could not.

No. 4 France, playing at home, thought it could beat the Americans in the quarters. Ils ont echoue. (They fell short).

The Americans, coached by

Jill Ellis of Palmetto Bay, near Miami, have had nothing but answers so far.

Wednesday’s other semifinalists, No. 8 Netherlands and No. 9 Sweden, will be the next to try to be giant-killers, too. Step right up, ladies.

If you’re tired of the U.S. women celebrating so much, rest of the world, then find a way to beat them.

Otherwise be quiet, step out of the way and show excellence the respect it deserves.

Mom hurt that family can’t attend son’s wedding My son and his fiancee, “Breanna,” have planned a destination wedding in another country. Breanna’s mother’s family vacations there every couple of years, so they decided to have the wedding there when her extended family will be vacationing.

The reason Breanna gave me was that she is embarrassed by DEAR ABBY some of my family members and doesn’t want to introduce them to her family, so a destination wedding eliminates those people from attending. When I told Breanna’s stepfather what she said, Breanna denied ever making the statement!

I told my son how hurt I am that she doesn’t want our side of the family to attend (including his father, brother and myself), since the cost for travel and accommodations will be approximately $3,500 per person. He said he doesn’t want to ruin her special day and changed the subject.

I would love to see my son get married (even though I have a bitter taste in my mouth), but we can’t afford to attend unless we take out a second mortgage or dip into our 401(k). Are we bad parents for not attending our own son’s wedding?

Struggling Mother Of The Groom

JEANNE PHILLIPS

That your son’s fiancee verbalized what she did is shocking. It shows how little respect she has for your feelings and her lack of manners or class.

A marriage is supposed to be a blending of TWO families, something this young woman — and her family — appears unwilling or unable to rec-

ognize. That your son would accept this because THEIR wedding is “her” day is disappointing.

Under the circumstances, you and your family should not go into debt to attend this wedding.

I am a father of four. My sons are 62 and 52. The older one calls me about every two months; the younger one hasn’t called me in nearly two years. One of my daughters last spoke to me three years ago. My remaining child, a daughter, stays in regular contact with me about once a week. They all live far away out west. I have tried to contact each of my children lovingly, but have not been successful for the most part.

I now have end-stage cardiac disease and will soon be joining hospice. When I do that, I’ll be faced with the decision of how much to tell my kids about my condition. In view of our distant relationships, I’m not inclined to tell them very much, since they have been so unresponsive in the past. I would welcome your suggestions.

Pondering In Pennsylvania I am sorry about your diagnosis. I don’t know whether something caused the distance between you and your three older children, or whether they are completely focused on themselves and their own lives. I do think you should disclose to all of them what is going on so amends can be made if possible. And, of course, the daughter who is close to you should know so she can be as supportive as she has always been and begin preparing herself emotionally for what is coming.

Spleen screens bacteria, spent blood cells from body I had an abdominal X-ray to check on my gallstones, and was surprised to find an enlarged spleen. I was told it might be leukemia or lymphoma! I was sent to an oncologist, who reassured me that I did not have cancer and recommended I get checked again in six months. My doctor checked it after three, and my TO YOUR spleen had gone back down!

GOOD HEALTH What is all this with the spleen? People have it removed after injuries, like accidents. It seems to be insignificant, but can it be an omen for cancer?

DR. KEITH ROACH

The spleen is an underappreciated abdominal organ. Its major job is to filter and remove old or damaged red blood cells, but it also removes bacteria. In addition, the spleen acts as a very large lymph node, allowing infection-fighting white blood cells to gather and activate. Removal of the spleen leaves people at a higher risk of some kinds of bacterial infections.

Enlargement of the spleen has many potential causes. Both liver and heart disease can cause passive congestion of the spleen with blood. Cancer, especially lymphoma, is a common cause, but infection is one cause to consider in a person in whom the spleen enlarges and then returns to normal.

If the spleen is removed or is nonfunctional, then infections are common, and vaccinations have a different and more intensive schedule, It is probably worth it for your doctor to

continue to keep an eye on.

An acquaintance has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. She is now using a “cell membrane stabilizing” diet. Is this likely to help her? Is there any evidence that it works?

Although I wasn’t able to find anything about a specific diet with that name, I reviewed the Hagar the Horrible literature on the effects of diet on Parkinson’s disease, and the data are still preliminary. For most of the recommendations I have, there are conflicting reports.

Of the dietary factors with the best data, I found that fruits and vegetables are likely to be helpful and to protect against damage to the part of the brain affected by PD. Omega-3 fatty acids were found to be helpful in animal models of PD. Products high in soy protein and caffeine (especially from tea) may have some benefit. However, fruits and vegetables are certainly of benefit for multiple systems, and I am comfortable recommend- Zits ing a diet high in those.

Milk and other dairy products have been shown in some, but not all, studies to have a detrimental effect on PD. Diet is of importance in many areas of health, but the role in PD seems to be modest, based on current literature. As always, a visit with a registered dietitian nutritionist is worthwhile to get specific and personalized information.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you have perhaps more selfcontrol than any other Cancer native, and your ability to shape yourself, mold yourself, direct yourself and chart a course for yourself that leads almost directly to the threshold of success is one that is not quickly or easily to be equaled by anyone else born under your sign. You have a very vibrant and defined “public” self; this is the version of you that you promote in the professional arena, and it is the one that other people fall in love with more often than not.

You are far more adept at promoting yourself than most others born under your sign, and while this may mean that you come across as overly aggressive at times, so be it — for it also ensures that you will enjoy the success you so very much desire, and for which you are willing to work long and hard to achieve.

Also born on this date are: Eva Green, actress; Edie Falco, actress; Huey Lewis, singer; Katherine Helmond, actress; Georges Pompidou, French leader; P.T. Barnum, circus entrepreneur.

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.

SATURDAY, JULY 6 CANCER (June 21-July 22) — A little quick thinking works wonders today — especially when you are in the transition phase between planning and implementation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Something that worked very well for you only yesterday may not prove as reliable today. Things are shifting in ways you haven’t foreseen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re going to want to choose your words very carefully today, as the message you have to impart may not be what

someone wants to hear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Those who have been watching you of late may be surprised to learn that much of what you’ve been doing has been calculated for effect.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You are afraid that you may prove ineffectual today, but that’s just nerves. The fact is that you are ready to make a big difference.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You may encounter danger today if you are compelled to travel any significant distance from home. This is a good reason to stay put!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You’re getting into the habit of doing something repeatedly that only a short time ago you wouldn’t have done at all.

What’s the upshot?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You’ll have little to fear today if you follow the path you’ve laid out for yourself. Drifting off course can prove hazardous.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You would instruct anyone else to look both ways before crossing the street. This holds true for you today — both literally and figuratively.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You find yourself in a position that causes you more stress than expected — but then, you’ve not been paying attention lately, have you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You’re in no mood to do what you are told today, but that’s not a good enough reason to risk angering another. Stay in line!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Things you do today are likely to inspire others to react in certain ways; it all adds up if you look at it from the right perspective.

Although there had been no public announcement that he would speak, Gehrig planned some remarks with Eleanor. But he walked — in an uncertain gait — onto the field without a piece of paper. Whether he had left his speech at home or in his locker remains a mystery.

If there had been a written speech, it is surprising that Eleanor had not pasted it into one of the scrapbooks she had meticulously filled to record his career and their precious few years together.

During the ceremony Lou stood with his arms in front of him, clutching his cap.

His head was often bowed.

By the time he was asked to speak, he made a gesture to

the master of ceremonies, sportswriter Sid Mercer, that he would not say a word.

Emotion had overcome him.

“I shall not ask him to speak,” Mercer said to the crowd. “I do not believe that I should.”

But Gehrig relented as fans chanted, “We want Lou!” Indeed, there was nothing silly about a 36-year-old man of remarkable achievements being forced to retire from baseball because of the then-little-known disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and telling the world: “Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.”

Gehrig’s performance as a speaker that day was as remarkable as any he had as a player. And it was quite a career: a .340 batting average, 493 home runs, 1,995

RBIs and a lifetime OPS of 1.080, third in major league history to Babe Ruth and Ted Williams. He had played in 2,130 consecutive games until his finale on April 30, 1939 — when he acknowledged that his once-mighty body had betrayed him with unyielding cruelty.

So he stood, wobbly enough that manager Joe McCarthy worried he might fall, in the summer heat between games of a doubleheader between the Yankees and Washington Senators.

Gehrig looked lonely, even desolate, a solo figure on the infield, surrounded by retired teammates from the 1927 Yankees and members of the current team who had carried on brilliantly without him, with Babe Dahlgren now at first base. They were 51-17, on their way to a 10645 record and a sweep of the Cincinnati Reds in the World

It was Joe DiMaggio’s team now.

For about an hour, though, the focus returned to the star of Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day. Gifts were presented. Speeches were made by McCarthy; the mayor of New York, Fiorello LaGuardia; and Postmaster General James Farley.

All the while, Gehrig waited, the guest of honor at a living funeral.

After some encouraging words whispered by McCarthy, who adored Gehrig, Lou reluctantly stepped to the microphones.

When that moment was described by screenwriters Herman Mankiewicz and Jo Swerling nearly three years later in their script for “The Pride of the Yankees,” they wrote: “The roar of the crowd is like a sustained note from a mighty organ. Lou waits for

it to subside but it doesn’t.

For him, this is crucifixion as well as triumph, because he knows he’ll have to die twice and perhaps the worst ordeal for him is that little death known as Goodbye.”

If Mankiewicz and Swerling’s words struck a hyperbolic chord, Gehrig’s did not. They were filled with gratitude for the people in his life: Eleanor, his parents, his mother-in-law, his Yankee managers, his roommate Bill Dickey, the New York Giants and the stadium’s groundskeepers.

Both versions of the speech, the real and imagined, raise one question: What would make a man who had received a diagnosis of a terrible disease speak only of good fortune and the people he was grateful for?

Gehrig offered some perspective later that year after he had begun working as a

member of New York City’s Parole Commission. With his condition rapidly deteriorating, Gehrig put his name to a syndicated article (almost certainly ghostwritten) that explained what he felt was a lifetime of thankfulness: for his parents, for making his high school football team, for attending college, for signing with the Yankees, for Eleanor.

In words that echoed the speech, he wrote, “This summer I got a bad break. The doctors said I couldn’t play baseball. All right. I’m still the luckiest man on earth when you add things up. I’ve still got a long season of life to play out, and my team — America — is absolutely the best in the league. That’s what counts.”

That season of life was all too short. Gehrig died June 2, 1941.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

NCAA UConn men’s basketball program on probation for two years Dom Amore The Hartford Courant HARTFORD, Conn. — The NCAA came down hard on former UConn men’s basketball coach Kevin Ollie, charging him with three level-one violations, and issuing a three-year showcause order that will effectively prevent him from coaching on the college level over that time.

The findings were released by the NCAA Tuesday afternoon, concluding an investigation of nearly two years. Going forward, the NCAA largely accepted UConn’s self-imposed sanctions, the most severe of which is the loss of one scholarship for 2019-20. However, the NCAA also placed the UConn program on two-year probation, and UConn will have to vacate victories in which ineligible players participated. The seasons affected are 2016-17 and 2017-18, so UConn’s most recent conference championship and NCAA appearances will not be vacated.

Though Ollie’s contract dispute with UConn over the more than $10 million remaining on his contract is not over, these findings bolster UConn’s contention that Ollie committed infractions that rise to the level of “just cause” for termination.

The show-cause order means that “an NCAA member school employing him must restrict him from any athletically related duties unless it shows cause why the restrictions should not apply.”

“This case illustrates the importance of full candor and cooperation in the infractions process, as well as head coach control,” the NCAA’s committee on infractions said, in issuing its decision. “The former

head coach faltered in both respects, increasing the severity of his violations and allowing violations within the program to occur for most of his tenure.”

In addition to self-imposed sanctions, probation and vacation of records, there will be a reduction by one in the number of official visits recruits can make in the two-year period of 2018-20 and 2019-20.

According to the NCAA release, the violations primarily stemmed from three situations: pickup games exceeding preseason countable athletically related activity limits, a video coordinator counting as a coach, and a booster providing extra benefits to studentathletes. Ollie was charged with failure to monitor staff, failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance and unethical conduct, or providing false or misleading information to the NCAA. Ollie refused to be interviewed a second time by the investigators, which factored in, perhaps worsening his penalties.

“We determined the coach was not forthcoming,” said Joel Maturi, chief hearing officer for the panel and former Minnesota athletics director, in a conference call following the release of the findings. “(There was) the emphasis we’ve been asked to put on head coaches’ responsibility, importance of being open, honest, candid, cooperative. If we’re going to have the collegiate model we all want, those are important factors.”

Maturi said the program’s past infractions, which resulted in lost scholarships and a three-game suspension for

BRAD HORRIGAN/HARTFORD COURANT

Connecticut Huskies head coach Kevin Ollie looks for answers against Memphis on Feb. 25, 2018 at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Conn. The NCAA has charged Ollie with three level-one violations, issuing a three-year show-cause order that will effectively prevent him from coaching on the college level over that time.

then-coach Jim Calhoun, “was a factor” in determining the penalties this time.

University president Susan Herbst said the NCAA decision “validates UConn’s actions and decision-making” but “this is a serious matter and nothing about it merits celebration. She added that it is “time to move on.”

“We are looking forward to the future now that this process has come to a conclusion,” athletic director David Benedict said in a statement. “Compliance and academic success are the paramount goals for our athletics program under our leadership. UConn’s actions in this case were consistent with those values, and we will continue to adhere to highest standards of compliance and NCAA rules going forward.”

Ollie’s attorney, James Parenteau, issued a statement in response to the NCAA’s findings. They plan to appeal the

decision to the NCAA’s infractions appeal committee, and look for the chance to cross-examine witness at an arbitration hearing.

“We are disappointed with the NCAA Committee on Infractions decision,” the statement read, “but not surprised that the Committee acted to support its member institution in the dispute between the University of Connecticut and Kevin Ollie where more than $11 million is at stake.”

Parenteau took issue with the process, claiming the NCAA ignored or rejected “every piece of exculpatory evidence” offered by his team and sided with UConn’s witnesses “many of whom gave contradictory statements.” He also claims factual errors and that “the NCAA process does not constitute due process.”

UConn has 45 days to report to the NCAA on which games ineligible players participated

during 2016-17 or 2017-18.

All of the infractions involving ineligible players covered in this case took place during the spring and summer of 2016, which is why no earlier seasons are affected. The probation will not include any type of postseason ban.

——— The NCAA began its investigation into UConn’s recruiting practices in the fall of 2017, and it became known to the public in January of 2018. Two months later, UConn began the process of terminating Ollie for “just cause,” citing NCAA infractions.

As Ollie’s dispute with UConn over just cause and the remaining $10 million on his contract has dragged on 15 months, the NCAA investigation continued. In September, the NCAA released a notice of allegations, citing the UConn program with several lowerlevel infractions, including impermissible workouts with an outside trainer, and improper communications between former Huskies stars, Ray Allen and Rudy Gay, and a potential recruit. Ollie was charged with a level one infraction for providing false and misleading information at that time.

In response to the notice of allegations, UConn announced self-imposed sanctions on its program in January, the most serious of which is the reduction of one scholarship, from 13 to 12, for the 2018-19 season.

There are also some limits to coaches’ recruiting travel.

On May 3, the NCAA held its hearing in Indianapolis, with Ollie and UConn officials testifying. In the days preceding it, Ollie and the mother of a former

player filed a lawsuit against former associate head coach Glen Miller and his wife, over testimony they gave the NCAA indicating Ollie had provided $30,000 to Stephanie Garrett for her to move to Connecticut be close to her son, Shonn Miller, at UConn in 2015.

Allen, who was deposed during the process, told reporters at the Travelers last month he was “badgered.”

“They just need to pay him his money,” Allen said. “It’s a big stain not only on the university but the state. They have to do whatever the can to make sure that we mend fences and move forward.”

At UConn’s practice Thursday, coach Dan Hurley, who attended the hearing in Indianapolis as an observer, was asked about the possibility of closure from the NCAA. He looked forward to a new start for the program, which moved to the Big East last week. The self-imposed sanctions allowed Hurley to exercise an option in his contract to extend it one year, through March 31, 2025 “I just think we’re in a fresh, new start here,” Hurley said.

“We still have a couple of things hanging over our heads here that we’re hopeful we’re going to be able to put behind us. Eventually, we’ll be heading back to a conference that I know our fans our excited about. Hopefully, things get worked out, or work themselves out and we’re able to move forward and put this small chapter of UConn basketball that hasn’t been ideal behind us. We’ll have closure to some of these things.”
