HUDSON — Jury selection began Monday in the trial of a Columbia County man accused of shooting and killing a Philmont teen. Mohammed Morshed, 28, of Hudson, is charged with second-degree murder, a class A-1 felony. Morshed is accused of fatally shooting Inderly InStinfil, 19, outside a home at 20 Fairview Ave. in Hudson around 8:20 p.m. on June 17, 2018. InStinfil died from a single gunshot wound to the neck, police said in June 2018. He died days before he was expected to graduate from Hudson High

School. Hudson police have declined to comment on a motive for the shooting, except to say that the two men were arguing before the fatal shot was fired. The trial is expected to last two weeks, Columbia County Judge Richard Koweek said. But it will be a few days before the court will hear evidence. More than a 100 potential jurors gathered at the Columbia County Courthouse as Koweek heard reasons they should be excused from service. Prosecutors and defense attorneys are expected Tuesday

DURHAM — Untrimmed hooves such as those of two horses found in Durham can be painful to the animals and can lead to permanent injury and death, the president of the Columbia-Greene Humane Society said Monday. A Greene County man charged by state Department of Environmental Conservation officers with two counts of animal neglect was identified June 6 by DEC police as 69-year-old Robert D. Rosenberg of Durham. He was arrested May 22 and charged with two counts of failing to provide sustenance to two of the four horses he owns, a class A misdemeanor, DEC police said June 6. The two horses had extremely long hooves, about 10 inches in length, and one of the horses was unable to stand, DEC police said.

Investigators assisting the DEC estimate that the horses have not been seen by a farrier, a specialist who trims and shoes horses’ hooves, in two years, DEC police said. Greg Davis, of Greenville, has been a farrier for 40 years. “Horses [hooves] should be trimmed a minimum of four times a year,” he said. “Six or seven times is better.” Complications can arise if horses’ feet are not maintained, Davis said. “Dead hoof tends to get bacterial and fungal infections,” he said. “Pieces of hoof can also break off and expose sensitive tissue. You can run into a lot of problems if they’re not regularly done.” Environmental Conservation Officer Anthony Glorioso responded on May 20 to a location in the town of Durham after receiving a tip that horses See HORSES A8

Hundreds of barges stalled as floods hinder Midwest supplies

Brian K. Sullivan, Shruti Date Singh, Mario Parker Bloomberg

Hundreds of barges are stalled on the Mississippi River, clogging the main circulatory system for a farmbelt economy battered by a relentless, record-setting string of snow, rainstorms and flooding. Railways and highways have been closed as well, keeping needed supplies from farmers and others, and limiting the crops sent to market. For Chris Boerm, who manages transportation for Archer-Daniels-Midland Co., one of the nation’s largest agricultural commodities dealers, the weather is an unyielding, ever-changing challenge. He and his co-workers spend time carefully planning out the quickest way to get supplies to the people that need them, he said. But it’s tough staying ahead of the drenching rain. “It’s sort of like Mike Tyson’s quote, everybody’s got a plan until you get punched in the face, right?” Boerm said by telephone. “Every day we come in and we’ve got a plan. But then it rains three inches somewhere overnight where it wasn’t expected, and the plan changes.” That means supplies they plan to move on one river may need to be rerouted to a different waterway, or offloaded onto a rail car or a truck, with the hope they won’t be delayed by the weather as well. For instance, when water reaches the wheel bearings on a freight car in a siding, it can’t be hauled long distances without an inspection, yet another potential delay. At just two locks along the upper Mississippi, almost 300 barges are being held in place as a result of high water and fast currents, according to Waterways Council Inc., which tracks barge movements. And hundreds more are waiting in St. Louis, Cairo, Illinois and Memphis, Tennessee, said Deb Calhoun, the council’s senior vice president. “It’s a big bottleneck,” Calhoun said. The contiguous U.S. had its wettest January to May on records dating back to 1895, according to the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville,

North Carolina. Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri had their rainiest May on record, the center’s data shows, while Arkansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Illinois were all in the top 10. While the rain will ease in the next few days across the central U.S. the deluge will get started again next week, Don Keeney, senior agricultural meteorologist at Maxar in Gaithersburg, Maryland, said in a telephone interview. As of Monday, 203 points along U.S. rivers were at flood stage, the majority of those on the Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri Rivers and their tributaries, according to the National Weather Service. The Mississippi at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is forecast to rise about another foot this week, withing less than two feet of its record crest in 1927. While high waters stop barge traffic, they also carry other dangers. Flood waters have closed off Interstate highways on a number of occasions and water itself. That overwhelms farm fields, sewer and septic systems and industrial plants along its banks, which can become quite toxic as it flows away from the river beds. “We dealt with a wet fall, and then record snowfall in many places,” said Tim Eagleton, senior engineering specialist for FM Global, an industrial insurer. “Of course, all that melts and comes down the Mississippi. Not only that, but we have had 200%-plus rainfall over a large part of that basin for months, and then a recordwet May in a lot of places.’ The bottom line, according to Eagleton: “Very long duration flooding on the Mississippi River that can really start to wear on people.’’ Almost 200 miles of the Mississippi has been shut down, he said. Farmers are definitely feeling the crunch. Iowa corn farmer Bob Hemesath, whose farm is about 35 miles west of the Mississippi River in Decorah, had planned to deliver about 20,000 bushels of corn to a Bunge Ltd. facility in McGregor in March and April. Instead, he ended up sending the grain to a local ethanol plant because the facility was closed due to high water

levels and still remains shuttered. He knows neighboring soybean farmers who are waiting to send their crops down the river as well. U.S. farmers still hold a lot of crops in their silos from their 2018 harvest because selling hasn’t made financial sense during the U.S.-China trade war, slow demand and slumping prices. Now, with northbound and southbound river traffic stalled, Hemesath is worried about what the barge backlog is going to look like this fall. “We are going to be missing almost three months of river traffic, I don’t even know how we will get caught up,” he said. “If the river facilities don’t have barges that are caught up on old crop they won’t be able to ship new crop. It’s another stress for farmers.” Among Boerm’s worries is that with the water levels so high — and for so long — there isn’t a lot of visibility yet on what the long-term impact to the waterways may be. Boerm was an ADM manager in 1993, when more than 17 million acres were flooded across nine states in June through August. He recalls working with the Red Cross in Hardin, Illinois, sandbagging the bloated waterways and helping evacuate homes. The recent flooding is just as formidable a beast, he said.

‘93 FLOOD “In ‘93, the flood was really kind of concentrated in Iowa and the Upper Midwest,” Boerm said. “This has been much more expansive, getting all the inland rivers,” affecting the entire Mississippi, the Arkansas River, the Illinois River and the Ohio River. It’s impossible to know the full fallout until the waters recede, Boerm added. That could take some time, according to Jeff Graschel, service coordination hydrologist with the Lower Mississippi River Forecast Center in Slidell, Louisiana. “A lot

HUDSON RIVER TIDES Low tide: 4:43 a.m. 0.5 feet High tide: 10:10 a.m. 4.1 feet Low tide: 5:15 p.m. −0.0 feet High tide: 11:01 p.m. 4.3 feet

of locations since December to January have been above flood levels, and they probably will be in June to July,’’ he said. “We have another month or two before we can get some of these areas to go below flood.’’ Waterways near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Natchez, Mississippi and Cairo, Illinois, have all set records for the length of the flood by weeks, Graschel said.

ECONOMIC REPERCUSSIONS The repercussions will ripple through the economy for the rest of the year, said Jon Davis, chief meteorologist with RiskPulse, a weather analytics firm in Chicago. When crops that have been sowed late in the season to start moving to market, barge, truck and train traffic will soon be stretched thin, he said. “There are a couple of things that make this situation incredibly unique, the first of which is the longevity of the flooding, ‘’ according to Davis. “The other factor is how widespread everything is.’’ Corn and soybean planting lags the five-year average, and grain shipments on the Mississippi, Arkansas and Ohio Rivers have already dropped well below last year and the three-year averages, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Rep. Antonio Delgado announces June mobile office hours KINGSTON — Each month, U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado’s district caseworkers will host mobile office hours for constituents to come meet with the congressman’s staff and receive assistance with constituent services. This can include support with federal services, from farmers applying for grants to seniors having issues with their Social Security benefits to veterans needing more information on VA services. In May, district caseworkers held mobile office hours at locations in Montgomery, Schoharie, Columbia and Otsego counties. “No one’s geographic lo-

cation should stand in the way of getting the support you need from our office,” Delgado said. “I’m deeply committed to serving everyone in our district with accessibility and transparency. That’s why I opened a fourth district office last week in Liberty, to supplement our offices in Kingston, Delhi, and Oneonta. This spring, mobile office hours have aided constituents by addressing their needs and concerns while connecting them with federal resources or additional information. We hope these mobile office hours will continue to meet constituents closer to their homes.

My office is looking forward to meeting more folks in June — hope you’re able to come by!”

Police: Catskill man drew gun on highway crew By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

KINGSTON — A Greene County man was arrested Thursday in Kingston and charged with threatening a highway worker with a handgun, Saugerties police said. Wyatt Earp Cooper, 27, of Catskill, was arrested around 5 p.m. June 6 and charged with second-degree menacing, a class A misdemeanor, following a dispute with an Ulster County highway worker on Old Kings Highway in Saugerties on Wednesday. Saugerties police responded to a 911 call at 1:30 p.m. June 5, which related an account of a motorist displaying a handgun during a verbal dispute. “Ulster County Highway Department was out blacktopping,” Saugerties Police Chief Joseph Sinagra said. “Mr. Cooper was impatient and wanted to get through.”

The 911 call was placed by the highway workers who described Cooper to police as a Wyatt Earp white male, Cooper with facial hair and a ball cap, driving a red Ford F250 single-cab pickup truck. An alert was issued for law enforcement to watch for a man matching Cooper’s description, according to Saugerties police. An Ulster County Sheriff’s deputy spotted Cooper in Kingston on June 6. Saugerties police responded and arrested Cooper after an interview, Sinagra said. Cooper posted $500 bail and is scheduled to appear in court June 12.

OUR VIEW

Catskill has a chance to embrace the film industry Since the American Dance Institute left Baltimore and headed north to Catskill and became the Lumberyard Center for Film and Performing Arts, it has lived up to the performing arts segment of its name, but the film part lagged behind. Over the last month, a year after opening its soundstage, Lumberyard made up for the gap in a big way. REMcycle Productions, a Catskills-based company planning film, television and theater projects, shot some scenes for its upcoming horror movie “A Deadly Legend.” Starring Lori Petty (“Tank Girl,” “Orange is the New Black”), Corbin Bernsen (“L.A. Law”), Judd Hirsch (“Independence Day”) and REMcycle founder Kristen Anne Ferraro, the movie is set at a former summer camp that is plagued by the inhabitants of a haunted graveyard. The question now is whether Lumberyard will attract bigger studios interested in making bigger movies in Catskill. We think the answer is yes, because Catskill and Greene

County have become havens for film production since John Sayles directed “Hard Choices” in Leeds (doubling for central Kansas) in the mid-1980s. Lumberyard’s soundstage will virtually eliminate the need for producers interested in making their movies here to spend time and money scouting locations in this area. As Catskill Village President Vincent Seeley noted Thursday, film is a growth industry in Catskill, and he anticipates Lumberyard to grow with it. Much like the screen’s finest actors, Catskill is chameleonic and can play any role that is required by filmmakers. It has been cast as the American Midwest, small-town New Jersey, early 20th-century New England and, yes, even upstate New York. The time has come for Lumberyard to show the rest of the world that Catskill, while it may not be the new Hollywood, is more than ready to embrace a changing film industry.

ANOTHER VIEW

Four Senate women running for the Democratic nomination for president have confronted some of the same biases that Hillary Clinton faced - plus the “electability” canard that posits a female nominee would be riskier than a man. Hillary lost; she’s a woman. So this syllogism makes no sense, but still it persists. They’ve also gotten their share of blatantly sexist coverage. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, DMass., isn’t likable, the media tut-tutted. Well, she’s in third in most polls and closing in on Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., so maybe the story should have been that Sanders is too grouchy, and all these white men, current and former congressmen, aren’t credentialed enough. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., we were told over and over again, was a tough and even mean boss. Beto O’Rourke, who had to apologize to his staff at the end of his campaign for being an ass, hasn’t been asked, to my knowledge, a single question on air about his cruddy management skills. (Time management? Driving yourself gets an F. ) As the excuses for not nominating a woman pile up, it’s not hard to see that the four female senators are running circles around most of their male competitors when it comes to serious and detailed policy proposals. Warren (I’ve got a plan for that); Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. (e.g., plans for teacher pay, tax credits, housing allowances, abortion rights); Klobuchar (e.g., plans for infrastructure, mental health, social media transparency - honest ads); and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., (e.g., plans for abortion rights, a Family Bill of Rights, marijuana legalization) arguably are running the most substantive races we’ve seen in years. To boot, unlike a number of the male candidates, all four of the Senate women have years and years in public life (Harris and

Klobuchar have both executive and legislative branch experience). No woman entered the race with the attitude she was “born to do it.” Think of it this way: If one of them is the nominee and beats President Trump, she would certainly want to consider the other three for top posts. You could easily imagine, for example, a President Klobuchar would have Harris as attorney general, Gillibrand at HHS and Warren at SEC (or chief of staff or education or ...). You might not like their policies, but you would be quite confident in their ethical standards, competency and management skills. As a group, their credentials and experience are head and shoulders above almost all of their male opponents. I say all of this not to make the case that Democrats should choose their nominee among these four (although they’d do far better choosing one of their four names out of a hat than doing the same for male candidates ranging from socialist Sanders to a man despised by the city he runs, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio). Rather, I raise this to suggest that someone or some group take on the “electability” issue head on. With this group of uber-prepared and capable women, now is the time to take the weight off all their backs: the assumption about electability that may prevent any woman from winning this cycle or in the near future. In fact, women aren’t just electable, they were elected in droves in 2018 - in state legislative, House, Senate and governor races. Now that message needs to be spread, either through an existing organization or a new one. Someone must collect the data, make the case to donors and insiders, run ads and inform Democrats the “safe” choice in winning in urban and suburban areas is very often the female candidate. It is time to bat down the surreptitious and insidious “not electable” meme once and for all.

The question from an audience member made the three network chiefs bristle: Why aren’t the news media holding the White House accountable like they did during the Nixon/Watergate era? One of the TV honchos, Susan Zirinsky, had the perfect background to answer. Just minutes before, she had described how — as a college student working part time at CBS — she was briefly in charge of the empty Washington bureau on Oct. 20, 1973, when news of the “Saturday Night Massacre” began to break: President Richard Nixon had fired the special prosecutor. Forty-six years later, Zirinsky really is in charge at CBS; she was named president of the network early this year. “We are holding this White House accountable — this is our job every day,” she said, with conviction ringing in her voice. But it may not seem that way to those members of the public who’d like President Donald Trump’s lies and misdeeds to catch up with him the way Nixon’s eventually did, but foresee little hope of that. “You can’t compare the eras,” Zirinsky said. As the anniversary of the Watergate scandal’s beginning comes around again - the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters was on June 17, 1972 — investigative journalism’s effectiveness is weakened. The reporting may be every bit as skilled, but the results are greatly diluted because so much has changed in the nation, including its media. During the Watergate era, as Zirinsky noted, there were three networks. Now, cable news, talk radio, thousands of websites and social media create a polluted firehose-blast of information mixed with disinformation. “The cacophony,” Zirinsky said,”is very hard to break through.” (Her remarks came during a panel discussion at last week’s “Future of News” conference in New York City.) Back then, what was said on those three networks - often fed by revelations from The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein - was largely believed. Much more than now, there was a shared set of facts. That doesn’t mean there was agreement about what to do

about those facts, or that there wasn’t plenty of political spin and denial. (“I am not a crook,” Nixon famously said, though he was.) But in general, straight news was not relentlessly countered by bad-faith propaganda in the style of Fox News’ Sean Hannity. (Recall that Fox News, with all of its intended-fromthe-start evils, was founded in 1996.) News came to citizens from sources they trusted - including their local newspapers. While many editorial pages supported Nixon almost to the end, front pages all around the country were telling people what was happening, blow by blow. Those papers are no longer a major news source in many places. Facebook, though, is. What’s more, as Columbia University Journalism School professor William Grueskin pointed out to me recently, today’s situation is not only about how the media has changed. “The press can do only so much,” he said. “Without an independent judiciary, plus a Congress that’s invested in a genuine search for truth, rather than covering for the president, even the most intrepid journalism can slip into the void.” Grueskin mentions, in particular, the Watergate-era judiciary, particularly John Sirica, the district court judge who got defendant James McCord to fess up about the Watergate burglary and who helped compel Nixon to turn over the damaging White House tapes. (The first line of Sirica’s Washington Post obituary described him as the judge “whose persistence in searching for the facts while presiding over the Watergate cases led to President Nixon’s resignation.”) And this: On July 24, 1974, the Supreme Court unanimously upheld Sirica’s order that the president must cough up the Watergate tapes. Two weeks later, Nixon announced his resignation. Grueskin added that there also was a more upstanding U.S. Senate, as personified by Howard Baker, the ranking Republican on the Watergate committee, who despite initial inclinations became genuinely interested in getting to the bottom of the scandal, exemplified by his famous query: “What did the president know, and when did he know it?” Today’s journalistic work — David Fahrenthold’s investigation of Trump finances in The

Post, Lester Holt’s interview with Trump about why he fired FBI director James Comey on NBC, the many investigations into the Trump administration’s contacts with Russian officials during the campaign should have made far more difference than it has. In an earlier era, too, the Mueller Report very likely would have blown a presidency out of the water. As presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren put it with admirable directness in a recent MSNBC town hall, she was left with three undeniable takeaways after an intense session of reading it into the night: “Part one, a hostile foreign government attacked our 2016 elections for the purpose of getting Donald Trump elected. Part two, then-candidate Donald Trump welcomed that help. And part three, when the federal government tried to investigate part one and part two, Donald Trump as president delayed, deflected, moved, fired and did everything he could to obstruct justice.” Warren added: “If he were any other person in the United States, based on what’s documented in that report, he would be carried out in handcuffs.” Much of what was in the report had already been reported in the press - in The Post, the New York Times, on the network news, and by reporters for ProPublica, BuzzFeed News, Mother Jones and the Wall Street Journal. But, as Susan Zirinsky put it, it’s lost in the cacophony. (Televised impeachment hearings, of course, might change that to some degree.) What does get through the noise to sway the public may then be lost in an increasingly politicized judiciary - Brett Kavanaugh, anyone? - and the reactions of a venal Senate majority leader and his minions. By itself, journalism — no matter how proficient or how brave — can’t save us from political corruption at the highest level. It never could. Just as in the 1970s, the Fourth Estate needs the official branches of government to do their jobs, too. Sadly, there’s less reason now to believe they will.

Dinosaur lovers descend on the Smithsonian’s newly renovated fossil hall Michelle Boorstein The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — When the gigantic, jungle-patterned curtain was pulled away Saturday morning, letting a herd of dinosaur junkies into the refurbished fossil hall at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Colin Stancil was at the very front. With a white, toothy dinosaur mask on his head and a pink T-shirt plastered with green dinosaurs on his body, the 17-year-old had the revved-up vibe of someone stranded in the desert with water in sight. He learned to read at age 3 by memorizing dinosaur names. Can spell parasaurolophus without pausing. Is entering college in the fall to study paleontology. And after coming to the hall every month as a kid, and having that dino spigot shut off five long years ago, Stancil was ecstatic as the curtain was pulled away late morning. “They’re such mysterious things to the human mind,” he said of the ancient creatures that are the centerpiece of the most popular exhibit in the most popular natural history museum in the world. “Finally!” Stencil was part of a carnival that played out Saturday when the museum reopened its famous dinosaur exhibit after a five-year-long, $110 million renovation. It features a 66-million-year-old tyrannosaurus skeleton dubbed “The Nation’s T. rex.” The new hall is now a brighter, interactive, human-centered presentation about something even more complex than fossils - the broader story of the Earth and the dinosaurs’ part in the history of its living things. Its new name “David H. Koch Hall of Fossils - Deep Time” - incorporates a term coined by the naturalistwriter John McPhee. There were drums, trumpets, a line across the museum and out the door, and a reminder by museum director Kirk Johnson to the crowd that the neighborhood used to be, 300 million years ago, a swamp. (“This was the original swamp,” Johnson said.) The soaring rooms were quickly swarmed by people who haven’t had access to their dinosaurs since 2014, including the hardcore groupies - the ones with dinosaur clothing, tattoos, jewelry and facts they can rattle off like a baseball fan reciting pitching stats. The woman with the dino dress and T. rex necklace that plunged into her cleavage. The 11-year-old who went to

a preschool and kindergarten inside the museum. Someone whose nickname is “Mosasaurus.” The couple who got up at 7 a.m. and rode the Metro in their matching dino full-body PJs to have a date at the opening. “When I was little, I got into it and I never got out,” said Noah Buck, 17, who bought his girlfriend the identical lime and forest green hooded onesie for their exhibit-opening date. “When they closed it was like: ‘Oh, no!’ I can’t believe I waited so long.” Nearly 6 million people a year came to the space that was called the Hall of Extinct Monsters when it opened in 1911, even through its last remodel in the 1980s was primarily to craft a large space simply highlighting the specimens and artifacts. The new exhibition, with its starker, broader title, weaves humans in throughout, presenting dinosaurs as part of a multimillion-year-old story that unfolds in layers, of which we are one. “I love how [the new exhibition] puts dinosaurs in the context of how the Earth has changed,” said Eugene Anderson, of Silver Spring, who was there with his daughter, who is heading into sixth grade in the fall and was wearing a T-shirt that said “Future paleontologist.” “It shows the Earth as a surface,” he said, “and so much is happening underneath.” Dinosaurs seem to be in action around the huge, open fossil hall. In one spot, the flapping wings of a huge, mechanical dino-bird buzzed. Two massive new exhibits showed dinosaurs in combat.

Dino junkies felt free to let loose knowledge and trivia and insider dino jokes. (There is such a thing). Overheard snippets: “Stegasauruses have a chance of dying of blood loss.” “There’s apparently a skull in there.” “There are some that have long fingers like lemurs in Madagascar.” And by midday, “Daddy, I’m tired and need water!” Maria Credle brought her entire family, in matching dinosaur T-shirts, from Philadelphia to celebrate her 37th birthday. “We’ve been waiting seven years for this,” the social worker said. Her mother-in-law, Mary Credle, grinned. “We’re museum geeks.” Walking into the expansive hall, the older woman was breathless. “They kept that from when I was 4 years old,” she said of a Triceratops fossil lying on its side beneath the open jaws of a T-rex. “They’re amazing. It’s the same bone that I’ve seen, but put in new.” The last person to see the fossil hall in 2014 was then4-year-old Skip Hommer, a Tysons boy who each year requested donations for his birthday - for the fossil hall instead of gifts. A photo on his Dad’s phone shows the small boy at 11:03 p.m. on April 16, 2014 - the last visitor standing. The first person into the hall Saturday was the 10-yearold rising fifth grader, who has donated $2,500 so far. Walking in after the curtain raised, Hommer grinned: “I

really love dinosaurs.” The Washington Post’s Sarah Kaplan contributed to this report.

Know the tricks to get the most out of your annuals By Thomas Christopher For Columbia-Greene Media

I’ve always had a special love of annual flowers. This was true even back in the days when annuals were regarded as infra dig by fashionable gardeners. I love the quick gratification that annuals provide, going from seed to bloom in a matter of weeks. This encourages experimentation and risk taking. A planting of perennials regularly takes three years to mature, and the plants themselves are quite expensive, so you tend to play it safe when designing with them. Annuals, though, are relatively cheap, especially if you grow them from seed, and the waiting period to see the results of your planting is brief, so if you don’t like how a design turns out, you just root it out and replant with something else. I’ve tried out all sorts of off-beat color combinations with annuals, and gardens with various themes. One year I planted a horti-

Four o’clocks (Mirabilis jalapa), whiteflowering tobacco (Nicotiana sylvestris) and moonflowers (Ipomoea alba) would all open as I arrived home at the end of the day, perfuming the evening air and drawing ghostly moths as their pollinators.

an entire backyard garden of curly cress (Lepidum sativum). I dug the soil in the beds, raked it smooth, and then dribbled lime between my fingers to create patterns of arabesques, curlicues, lightning bolts, and other garden graffiti. When I had finished the patterns to my own satisfaction, I planted everywhere

CAIRO-DURHAM STUDENTS PLANT TREES

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Cairo-Durham students planted 40 white pine trees behind the middle/high school on May 8. The seedlings were donated by the Saratoga Department of Forestry as part of their effort to build populations of native New York tree species. More than a dozen middle and high school students volunteered to stay after school and participate in the planting. White pine is a native New York tree and is a crucial part of many ecosystems. These trees provide many benefits, including improving air quality, soil stabilization, and providing essential cover and food for many wildlife species.

there was lime with curly cress seeds, working them into the soil lightly with a hand cultivator. I watered daily to keep the seed moist and within days a green, free-form parterre began to appear. I timed my planting to peak on the evening that my wife had reserved for a barbecue with her colleagues, and when lit by spotlights, the garden was eccentric but stunning. Plants that are such sprinters need a special kind of care. Perennials, the plants with which many of us started gardening, do best if grown lean, given just enough fertility and water to make compact, hardy plants. Annuals, by contrast, need a rich soil, and regular fertilization and irrigation. I like to dig in a couple of inches of compost and a dose of some balanced organic fertilizer when I am preparing the bed for planting. Then, if I am using transplants bought at the garden center, I pinch off any flower buds before inserting

the plants into the soil and I water them with a soluble starter fertilizer, or a halfstrength solution of some regular soluble fertilizer. I feed at planting time because greenhouse-grown plants are raised on a regimen of frequent fertilizations and will suffer if this treatment abruptly ceases. After this, I watch the plants to monitor their growth. If it stalls, I may fertilize again with a water-soluble product; again, I typically apply it at half the strength recommended on the product label. I cut the fertilizer’s strength for two reasons. First, because the recommendations on fertilizer labels are typically on the generous side. After all, why wouldn’t the company want to sell more of its product? Second, because rather than deliver a big jolt of nutrients all at once, perhaps more than the plant can use, I prefer to give a more modest feed and then repeat a couple of weeks later if the first treatment doesn’t prove sufficient.

If I have saved any shredded leaves from my fall clean-up, I’ll use these to mulch the annuals; if not, I’ll scratch the soil surface between the plants to create a “dust mulch,” an old fashioned gardener’s expedient that doesn’t add organic matter to the soil but does help to insulate it, keeping the plants’ roots cooler and moister. “Deadheading” is a must; you must keep pinching off the flowers as they wilt to keep the annuals from setting seed if you want them to keep blooming. Be-a-Better-Gardener is a community service of Berkshire Botanical Garden, located in Stockbridge, MA. Its mission to provide knowledge of gardening and the environment through 25 display gardens and a diverse range of classes informs and inspires thousands of students and visitors on horticultural topics every year.

31st annual Columbia Memorial Hospital ball raises $587,000 HUDSON — The 31st annual Hospital Ball hosted by the Columbia-Greene Hospital Foundation on June 1, raised a total of $587,000 to support Columbia Memorial Health’s (CMH) mission of providing comprehensive, community based health services to the people of Columbia and Greene counties. Themed “Le Cirque,” the event featured a special auction that raised $180,000 to support CMH’s acquisition of 3D biopsy technology — an advancement that will augment CMH’s 3D mammography capabilities made possible through donations made at the Hospital Ball in 2018. “This is the second year in a row that our community responded with tremendous generosity to help us provide the most advanced care possible for the detection and treatment of breast cancer,” said Foundation Board Chair Patti Matheney. “The combination of 3D mammography and 3D biopsy will mean that breast cancers can be detected earlier and treated far less invasively than ever before. We are enormously grateful to our donors for their gift of life and hope for breast cancer patients.” CMH President and CEO Jay P. Cahalan said: “The staff at CMH provide care to our family members, friends and neighbors every day, making our connection to our patients very special. The generosity exhibited by our Ball patrons is another example of how strong that bond is between us, and how we work together as a community to care for one another.” Nearly 400 business and community leaders, public

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Nature nurtures By Helen M. Exum, Senior Prevention Educator, Twin County Recovery Services, Inc. For Columbia-Greene Media Ever wonder why you feel that surge of energy when the sun hits your face or the feeling of tranquility after spending an hour beside a sparkling stream? Is a brisk walk invigorating? Is there a connection between human health, mental, emotional, and physical, and nature? Scientists too have wondered about a possible connection, but they’ve done more than wonder. They’ve researched and found much evidence that there are indeed very real connections. After all, we are creatures of planet earth and inextricably connected to it, yet the Center For Disease Control reports that less than 30% of American kids get the required 60 minutes of aerobic exercise required for good health. Adults fare even worse. Childhood obesity and diabetes rates have exploded, suicide and depression rates among young and old alike are at an all-time high. And most people spend more time on their mobile devices than at any other activity, ignoring the natural environment and its benefits. If we look at some positive aspects of the relationship between humans and their natural environment we find that our moods and physical health are affected by the amount of sunlight we receive. This phenomenon known as seasonal affect disorder causes deparession in some people as a result of reduced amounts of sunlight. Exposure to sunlight is essential to the body’s ability to produce of Vitamin D, which reduces depression and stimulates blood circulation. Vitamin D also increases calcium and phosphorus absorption from food and plays a critical role in skeletal development, immune function and blood cell formation. Five to 15 minutes of midday sun is enough

to reap many benefits without causing negative effects. Exposure to sunlight was also observed to greatly reduce or eliminate the effects of jaundice in newborns. But that’s not all the environment does for us. Howard Frumkin, former professor of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences and dean at the University of Washington School of Public Health, views the strong human connection to nature as a component of good health. Research confirms his statement that, “people’s nearly universal preference for contact with the natural world — plants, animals, natural landscapes, the sea, and wilderness — suggests that we as a species may find tranquility in certain natural environment and may derive health benefits from them.” Other research (Ullrich, 1984; Kaplan, 1992) shows that post-surgical patients gain health benefits from exposure to views of nature, plants in gardens, interacting with animals and wilderness experiences. Hospitals use garden spaces as respite sites for patients and families. Wilderness experiences have been a part of addiction recovery programs and mental health interventions for decades. In 1981 architect Ernest Moore discovered that prisoners assigned to cells with views of rolling landscapes and trees had a significantly lower number of sick-call visits compared to those in inside cells. A 1998 National Gardening survey reported “that half of the respondents agreed that flowers and plants at theme parks, historic sites, golf courses and restaurants are important to the enjoyment of these places.” Forty percent said being around plants and animals made them feel calmer. Research on recreational activities shows that savanna-like settings evoke feelings of tranquility, peace or relaxation. Psychometric

testing goes even further, reporting that people who view savanna settings exhibit a decrease in fear and anger and experience an enhanced positive affect. Improvement in mental alertness, attention and cognitive performance were also observed. Studies like these prompted the CDC to issue “Tool Kits for Improving Community Health Through Parks and Trails.” A 2018 study for the British Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs found growing evidence in the effectiveness of using natural environments as settings for specific health interventions, which can also be cost effective. So get out there and commune with nature. The Twin Counties have beautiful habitats with positive side effects to explore.

Farm to Food Pantry program launches this month in Greene County CATSKILL — Community Action of Greene County, Inc. has launched forward with their Farm to Food Pantry Program. Community Action will be partnering with several of the local farms to bring great produce from the farms directly to food pantries throughout the county. They have several farms already on board, and great produce has been ar-

riving to serve those in need. The goal is to increase access to fresh, local produce in pantries, and to reduce food waste. Food waste in the United States is estimated at roughly between 30-40 percent of the food supply. One out of every six Americans lack a secure supply of food to their tables. By reducing food waste by just 15 percent it would be enough

food to feed more than 24 million Americans every day. In order to make this initiative as successful as it possibly can be, we need community support. Help by volunteering time in the food pantry, picking up and delivering produce, possibly even gleaning on the farms. If interested, reach out to Nancy, volunteer coordinator, at 518-943-9205 ext. 105.

Health Briefs SKIN CANCER SCREENING CARMEL — Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S., with more than 9,500 Americans diagnosed each day, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.

Super K — A healthy kick for your heart These days we hear a lot about the benefits of supplementing your diet with omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants for disease prevention. But we rarely hear about the importance of vitamin K and its vital role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes and osteoporosis. According to researchers from the Mid America Heart Institute at St. Luke’s Hospital; vitamin K is an “anticalcification, anticancer, bone–forming and insulin– sensitizing molecule.” So who is at risk for a vitamin K deficiency? Well, according to Dr. Cees Vermeer, one of the world’s top researchers in the field of vitamin K, “Nearly everyone is deficient in vitamin K, just like most are deficient in vitamin D.” Discovered in 1929 by Danish scientist Henrik Dam, vitamin K is sometimes referred to as the “forgotten vitamin.” It is one of the four fat-soluble vitamins and is best known for the important role it plays in blood clotting. Produced by plants, it can be found in green veggies like kale, broccoli and spinach; it’s also essential for building strong bones and osteoporosis prevention. Vitamin K2 is produced by the good bacteria in your

SCHOEPE gut and you can also find it in yogurt, raw cheese, fish, pastures raised eggs and Japanese natto (a type of fermented soybean), which is by far the richest source of K 2. Now that you know where to get vitamin K, here are just some of its many benefits. A study in Integrative Medicine points out that vitamin K helps prevent hardening of arteries because it keeps calcium out of the arteries, not allowing it to form into hard dangerous plaque deposits. Studies have also shown that people who increase their intake of vitamin K have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke mortality. Plus there is increasing evidence that vitamin K can improve bone health and reduce the risk of bone fractures especially in postmenopausal women who are at risk for osteoporosis. According to recent research, men and women with the highest in-

take of vitamin K2 are 65% less likely to suffer from a debilitating hip fracture compared to those with the lowest intake of vitamin K2. Vitamin K is also a natural cancer fighter and is effective in reducing the risk of prostrate, colon, stomach, nasal and oral cancer. One study found that high doses of vitamin K helped patients with liver cancer stabilize and improve their liver function. And there is growing evidence that vitamin K has anti-inflammatory properties, protecting your brain against oxidative stress caused by free radical damage. Oxidative stress can damage your cells and is thought to be involved in the development of cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The best way to increase your levels of vitamin K1 and K2 is through a whole-foods diet that includes plenty of green leafy vegetables and raw fermented dairy products. Vitamin K comes with amazing health benefits, however if you use bloodthinning medication, please consult your health care practitioner before increasing your intake of vitamin K.

New study finds small concentrations of chemical have long-lasting impact ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON — Triclosan is a synthetic antimicrobial agent used extensively for more than 40 years in clinical settings and in personal care products such as soap and toothpaste. Its widespread use has resulted in low levels of triclosan being detected in freshwater streams, including the Hudson River. While the effects of triclosan on microbial communities found in soil and sediments is well documented, little is known regarding the possible effects of triclosan on microbial communities in freshwater streams as it is released from sediments or treated wastewater outflows. A new study led by Bard College Assistant Professor of Biology Gabriel Perron shows even small concentrations of triclosan commonly found in streams can disrupt freshwater microbial communities in favor of bacteria that are associated with human disease and antibiotic resistance. In the study, “Triclosan Al-

ters Microbial Communities in Freshwater Microcosms,” published in Water, Perron and collaborator M. Elias Dueker, assistant professor of environmental and urban studies—both faculty of the Bard Center for the Study of Land, Air, and Water—contend that understanding the impact of triclosan on these microbial populations is crucial from a public-health perspective because of people’s frequent recreational exposure to freshwater lakes, streams and rivers. Using water samples collected from the Saw Kill—a freshwater tributary of the Hudson River that flows through the towns of Milan, Red Hook and Rhinebeck— Perron, Dueker, and Bard students Alexandra Clarke ’16 and Daniella Azulai ’17, along with Michiel Vos from the European Center for Environmental and Human Health at the University of Exeter in Truro, UK, established experimental microcosms in their laboratory where they could

monitor the evolution of microbial communities growing in the presence of small concentration of triclosan. Investigating the whole microbial communities using DNA sequencing, Perron and colleagues were able to track minute changes in microbial composition and observe the growth of potentially dangerous pathogenic bacteria. “Even though the use of triclosan is slowly being regulated in most developed countries, our study shows that we are likely to see the lasting impacts of triclosan on our streams given the long half-life of the antimicrobial in the environment,” says Perron. “Not only does triclosan have the potential to increase the abundance of human pathogens in our streams, but it could also disrupt the important ecological functions carried out by our freshwater ecosystems, such as wetlands and aquifers.”

NYS Smokers’ Quitline hosts combination therapy webinar BUFFALO — The New York State Smokers’ Quitline (Quitline) invites all healthcare professionals to attend a free one-hour webinar at 11 a.m. June 11, titled “Exploring Combination Therapy for Smoking Cessation: A Provider and Quitline Intervention.” Registration is available at www.nysmokefree. com/NewsRoom. Members of the Quitline’s Marketing and Outreach Team, together with Dr. Daniel Croft of the Quitline’s Physician Task Force and the University of Rochester

Medical Center’s Pulmonary and Critical Care Department, will discuss the benefits and possible side effects of using a nicotine patch with a nicotine gum or lozenge to become tobacco-free. The webinar will include a mock call to the Quitline and time for questions at the end. One continuing medical education (CME) credit will be available for attendees upon successful completion of a short quiz and evaluation. The webinar will be recorded and hosted online for future listening and for earning

CME credit. The Quitline regularly provides combination therapy in its starter kits for tobacco users. Numerous research studies show that combination therapy can be two to three times as effective in the quest to become tobaccofree, compared to using just one form of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). During the webinar, Dr. Croft also will briefly review all seven types of FDA-approved NRT products.

GOP From A1

Andreas Theodosiou, of Freehold, said he supports the bill because the ability to drive is necessary, particularly in more rural communities. “They still need to get from place to place, and in this area, (driver’s licenses) are necessary,” Theodosiou said. “I wouldn’t want to criminalize them if they were pulled over just because of their immigration status.” State Sen. Daphne Jordan, R-43, was one of several Republican officials opposing the bill at a recent press conference. She called the legislation “political pandering.” “It’s a fitting name since the Democrats’ bill gives a green light to fraud, danger and, ultimately, illegal immigrants voting,” Jordan said. “Their bad bill caters to illegal immigrants, many of whom have been here illegally for years. Anyone who is in this country illegally is breaking the law, and should not be rewarded for doing so.”

to question remaining potential jurors in groups of 21. Those questions will determine if potential jurors can be fair and impartial as they see and hear evidence in the case. Four panels will convene each day until a jury is chosen, Koweek said. Each attorney will have 25 minutes each to question each panel. Twelve jurors and four alternates will be selected to sit on the jury, Koweek said.

But supporters of the bill say it is a safety issue. The Hudson Common Council voted for a resolution in support of the bill. Bryan MacCormack, executive director of the Columbia County Sanctuary Movement, said Republican opposition to the bill is driven by an “antiimmigrant stance.” MacCormack is also the Capital Region coordinator for the Green Light campaign. “I believe anyone who looks at this from a safety, economic or moral lens knows this is the right thing to do,” MacCormack said. “For those reasons, we have broad support from community organizations, labor unions, district attorneys, police chiefs, sheriffs and businesses from across the state who are actively supporting this initiative.” The Green Light bill is a safety issue, MacCormack said, because those applying for driver’s licenses are required to take a written exam and a road test before a license can be issued. Joy Abrams, of Claverack, said the bill should become law because it is a matter of

safety. “This makes it safer for all drivers because if something happens, people can be traced, and they would have to have insurance. It makes total sense for the entire population because it makes everyone

safer,” she said. But Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-102, opposes the bill, which has not yet been voted on by the full Senate or Assembly. “This bill is the first step on the road to giving illegals

Students attending Columbia-Greene Community College and high school students over the age of 18 and eligible for jury duty would be automatically excused because of upcoming final exams, Koweek said. Before jury selection could begin, Koweek listened to arguments about whether the prosecution could present evidence that purportedly shows the firearm suspected of being used in the shooting was stolen. Three days after the shooting, police said, officers found a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson

handgun in the basement ceiling of 20 Fairview Ave., after a second search of the home. Police believe the handgun is the murder weapon. Defense attorney Justin DeArmas argued against introducing the weapon as stolen, saying the potential for the jury to become prejudiced is extremely high. The weapon, he said, would have no probative value to the prosecution’s case. But prosecutors have a different opinion, saying the gun is inextricably interwoven into their narrative of the case, Assistant District Attorney Ryan

Carty said. Morshed was not permitted to have the firearm, Carty said. Koweek ruled in favor of the district attorney’s office and allowed the prosecution to introduce evidence that purportedly shows the gun was stolen. Morshed has been held in Columbia County Jail without bail since his arrest.

that the conditions of the two horses were unacceptable and warranted criminal charges, DEC police said. Columbia-Greene Humane Society President Ron Perez, who said the SPCA assisted on the case, commended DEC for its quick action in following up on the tip. “It was a really good catch by DEC,” he said. “If a horse’s feet are not trimmed, they get sore and can get infected and

the horse goes down. If the horse goes down permanently, they die.” Horses can also be left permanently disabled or with chronic health problems such as laminitis, also known as founder, Perez said. Laminitis causes the tissue that holds a horse’s coffin bone, similar to a human toe, in place to become inflamed. In the most severe cases, the tissue degenerates to the point

that the bone can protrude through the sole of the hoof, according to agriculture.vic. gov. The Durham man is scheduled to appear in court June 17 at 3:30 p.m. Rosenberg is listed as the owner of Carriage House Bed & Breakfast/Carriage House Horse Farm, according to Greene County property records.

Senators seek another way to push back on Trump’s Saudi Arabia policy By Niels Lesniewski CQ-Roll Call (TNS)

WASHINGTON — Senators are continuing to look for creative ways to push back against the Trump administration’s foreign policy initiatives, especially when it comes to Saudi Arabia. The latest bipartisan effort seeks to force a floor vote to request Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to report to Congress on the human rights record of Saudi Arabia, under a provision of the Foreign Assistance Act. The announcement of the bipartisan joint resolution by Connecticut Democrat Christopher S. Murphy and Indiana Republican Todd Young follows the

news from earlier this week that Senate Foreign Relations ranking member Robert Menendez was introducing 22 joint resolutions to terminate arms sales proposed by the Trump administration to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Murphy and Young are cosponsors of the Menendez-led effort, and both senators serve on the Foreign Relations Committee. As is the case with similar processes, the resolution to require the report, which would need to be returned within a month, is privileged in the Senate and can be considered under expedited procedures.

Young, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, focused his attention on the importance of knowing what sort of U.S. armaments could be deployed by Saudi Arabia as part of their ongoing operations in Yemen. “Our arms sales to Saudi Arabia demand congressional oversight. This bipartisan resolution simply asks the Secretary of State to report on some basic questions before moving forward with them,” the Indiana Republican said. Senators including Young and Murphy came up short of overriding a veto by President Donald Trump in a May 2 vote

that sought to terminate U.S. support activities for the Saudiled campaign in Yemen. As far as the latest resolution is concerned, what’s key is not the report request itself — rather, it is what could happen after receiving the report. At that point, a measure could be in order that would terminate U.S. assistance to Saudi Arabia.

More than 180 CEOs sign letter opposing state restrictions on abortion Rachel Siegel The Washington Post

More than 180 CEOs signed an open letter opposing state efforts to restrict reproductive rights, as business leaders weigh how to most effectively exert pressure on statewide abortion bans. From Square CEO and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey to fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg, the executives wrote that restrictions on abortion access threatens the economic stability of their employees and customers, and makes it harder to build a diverse work forces and recruit talent. The letter appeared, which Monday as a full-page ad in

the New York Times, marks the business community’s latest foray into a polarizing societal issue. The CEOs join Bloomberg, Atlantic Records, Yelp and Warby Parker in aligning themselves with such national organizations as Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Reproductive Rights. The move also comes nearly four weeks after Alabama signed off on the nation’s most restrictive abortion law. Other states, including Georgia, have adopted similar laws. “As anti-choice politicians are escalating attacks

on these fundamental freedoms, we encourage the entire business community to join us in protecting access to reproductive health care in the critical months and years to come,” Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said in a statement. Georgia’s law, signed last month by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, bans abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which typically occurs near the six-week mark and before many women even know they are pregnant. Alabama banned virtually all abortions in the state - including for victims of rape and incest. Antiabortion supporters expect the laws will

ignite a broader, state-bystate strategy to persuade the U.S. Supreme Court to take a new look at Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision which legalized abortion across the country. Several industries have moved to exert pressure on states that limit access to abortion. Some of the biggest names in Hollywood - including Walt Disney and WarnerMedia - have suggested they might pull their business from Georgia if its new law survives court challenge. Filmmaking is a $9.5 billion industry in Georgia that created more than 90,000 jobs last year, according to a McKinsey study.

driver’s licenses and granting them the privileges of lawabiding citizens,” Tague said. Tague said research indicates that “61% of New Yorkers oppose giving illegals driver’s licenses.” Assemblyman Jake Ashby,

R-107, said he was “alarmed” at the bill’s movement through the Assembly’s approval process. Ashby said Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has indicated the bill could come up for a vote this week. “If the so-called Green Light bill is passed, they are giving those without legal status the green light to continue to break our nation’s laws,” Ashby said. But Assemblywoman Didi Barrett, D-106, supports the bill and said it would ensure drivers have been tested and that will improve road safety. “The Green Light bill simply ensures every driver on our roads is properly trained to operate their vehicle and that folks can safely get to and from their jobs, which is important to our local economy,” Barrett said. “It has no impact on an individual’s immigration status or voting rights.” In New York state, there are 752,000 undocumented immigrants over the age of 16 who are barred from obtaining driver’s licenses because of their immigration status, according to the website of the advocacy group Green Light NY.

Ginsburg Hints at Sharp Divisions Ahead as Supreme Court Term Nears End Adam Liptak The New York Times News Service WASHINGTON — In 2012, as the Supreme Court was mulling the fate of President Barack Obama’s health care law, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg addressed the American Constitution Society, a liberal group. “This term has been more than usually taxing,” she said. Two weeks later, Chief Justice John Roberts joined Ginsburg and the three other liberal justices to sustain a key provision of that law — as an exercise of Congress’ power to impose taxes. It may have been a coincidence. But Ginsburg chooses her words with care, and lawyers and journalists have combed her public remarks for hints ever since. On Friday, Ginsburg gave a similar speech, this time at a judicial conference in New Paltz, New York. There was little in her remarks to hearten liberals. She started by noting the most fundamental change at the court. “Justice Kennedy announced his retirement,” she said. “It was, I would say, the event of greatest consequence for the current term and perhaps for many terms ahead.” Justice Anthony Kennedy was a moderate conservative who occasionally joined the court’s liberal wing in cases on abortion, gay rights, affirmative action and the death penalty. His replacement, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, appears to be more conservative. Ginsburg seemed pleased by at least one aspect of her newest colleague’s work. “Justice Kavanaugh made history by bringing on board an all-female law clerk crew,” she said. “Thanks to his selections, the court has this term, for the first time ever, more women than men serving as law clerks.” There was another reason to think Ginsburg thinks well of Kavanaugh. She was the senior justice in the majority in a major antitrust case against Apple, which gave her the power to assign the majority opinion. Such high-profile cases do not typically go to junior justices, but she picked Kavanaugh. In her speech, Ginsburg gave an extended and largely neutral summary of what is probably the most important case of the term, Department of Commerce v. New York, No. 18-966. The court will decide whether the Trump administration may add a question on citizenship to the 2020 census. It is, Ginsburg said, “a case of huge importance.” “Census Bureau analyses predicted that adding the question would depress the census response rate for non-

citizen and Hispanic households, resulting in poorer census data,” she said, adding that evidence in the case undercut Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’ explanations for why he had decided to add the question. Ginsburg’s concluding comments seemed to foreshadow a closely divided case in which she will be on the losing side. “Speculators about the outcome note that last year, in Trump v. Hawaii, the court upheld the so-called travel ban, in an opinion granting great deference to the executive,” she said, referring to a 5-4 decision in which the court’s four liberals dissented. “Respondents in the census case have argued that a ruling in Secretary Ross’ favor would stretch deference beyond the breaking point.” Ginsburg also touched on other important cases to be decided before the end of the month. One concerns a 40-foot cross honoring soldiers who died in World War I. At the argument in the case, American Legion v. American Humanist Association, No. 17-1717, a majority of the justices seemed inclined to reject the argument that the cross was an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. On Friday, Ginsburg called the cross a “towering monument” and quoted with seeming approval from an appeals court decision requiring its removal. “The Latin cross, the majority reasoned, is not a generic symbol of death,” she said, “it is the ‘preeminent symbol of Christianity,’ the ‘symbol of the death of Jesus Christ.’” In that case, too, it would not be surprising if Ginsburg found herself in dissent. There are two other pending decisions “very high on the most-watched-cases list,” Ginsburg said, referring to challenges to voting maps in North Carolina and Maryland that were designed to amplify the power of the political party in control of the state Legislature. Ginsburg explained the basic problem. “Given modern technology,” she said, “a state legislature can create a congressional delegation dramatically out of proportion to the actual overall vote count. In North Carolina, for example, in the 2016 election, Republicans won 53% of the statewide vote, yet they won 10 of the 13 congressional seats.” “However one comes out on the legal issues,” she continued, “partisan gerrymandering unsettles the fundamental premise that people elect their representatives, not vice versa.”

Chatham drops heartbreaker in regional final By Tim Martin

Skype finished with five strikeouts and no walks, while allowing three runs and seven hits. Ramsdell struck out 11, walked two and gave up two runs and nine hits. Chatham finishes with a 213 record, winning the Patroon Conference championship and earning its first Section II title since 2013. Brantley was grateful for the contributions his senior class made to the team’s success. “Best of luck to Jenna Skype, Brooke-Lyn Doyle, Allyssa Rippel, Shirley Harvey, Sydney Putnam and Sarah Cartwright next year and I want to thank them for guiding this team this season.”

POTSDAM — Up 2-0 with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Chatham appeared to be a lock for next weekend’s Class C Softball Final Four. But it wasn’t meant to be. Section X champion St. Lawrence Central rallied to tie the score, then Maggi Yandoh, down to her last strike, came up with a clutch base hit to score Brooke Rubado with the game-winning run as the Larries pulled out a 3-2 victory on Saturday afternoon at SUNY Potsdam. The loss was especially hard to take for Chatham as St. Lawrence had just two hits off of Panthers pitcher Jenna Skype through the first six innings, but strung together five in the final frame. “This was a tough one,” Chatham coach J.B. Brantley said. “I am extremely proud of the fight this team had. It says a lot about our senior leadership. The seniors will be missed as they have continued to lead our younger girls on and off the field, showing them the ropes of Chatham softball. “Without this group of seniors, we would not be in the position we were in. These are the types of losses which drive you to work even harder in the offseason so they can become better players moving forward.” The game quickly settled into a pitcher’s duel between Skype and St. Lawrence’s Makiah Ramsdell, with the game remaining scoreless until the fifth. Chatham did have its chances to score early in the contest, getting two runners on in three of the first four innings. The Panthers finally got on the board in the fifth when Skype singled, went to second on an infield error and scored on Allyssa Rippel’s base hit. Chatham threatened to break the game open in the top of the seventh, loading the bases with two outs, but the Panthers could only manage one run on a

single by Sydney Putnam before Ramsdell retired the side. Kelsey Waite started the Larries’ seventh inning off with a base hit, but consecutive fielder’s choice outs put Chatham on the brink of victory. But that’s when the bottom fell out for the Panthers. Marissa Kelley singled to keep the Larries alive and Christy Smith followed with another single, scoring Leah Francis to cut the deficit to 2-1. Sarah Adams was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Madisyn Cheney singled to tied the score at 2-2. That set the stage for Yandoh, who lined a 2-2 offering to left field to chase home the winning run. Putnam led Chatham with

THREE-TIME STATE CHAMPION

By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

PLATTSBURGH — For the fourth time in the past five years, the Ichabod Crane softball team will be playing in the Class B Final Four. The Riders (23-1) punched their ticket with a convincing 18-0 victory over Section VII champion Plattsburgh on Saturday afternoon at SUNY Plattsburgh. Coach Tracy Nytransky’s squad takes a 22-game winning streak into next Saturday’s state semifinal game against Section I champ Ardsley at Moreau Rec. Eden of Section VI will take on Oneida of Section III in the other semifinal. Both games are slated to start at 11:30 a.m., with the two winners squaring off for the state title at 4 p.m. Sophomore standout Isabella Milazzo improved to 16-0 with another impressive performance, allowing just three hits with 13 strikeouts and two walks. In the Riders’ two regional victories, she gave up just six hits and two earned runs with 23 strikeouts in 12 innings. Milazzo received plenty of supports from her teammates, who put together a 16-hit attack. “We got the bats going early in the game and never let up,” Riders’ coach Tracy Nytransky said. “ We worked on our base running in practice also, and it paid off for us. We were much smarter on the base paths, we

hit the ball all over the field and Bella pitched another fantastic game.” Emma Scheitinger led the Riders with a triple, two singles and three RBI. Jenna Downey added a double and single with four RBI, Gabbie Cox had a double and single with two RBI, Kaili Saccento three singles and two RBI, Brittany Futia a double an two RBI, Laney Altomer two singles and an RBI, Mackenzie Wendelken and Kayla Walsh a single and an RBI apiece and Marissa Wheeler a single. Molly Channell had two singles and Abbi Crahan doubled for Plattsburgh, which was playing in its first regional game in 15 years.

Eighth grader Calli Fitzwater took the loss, striking out three, walking six and allowing 18 runs and 16 hits. The Riders are now just two wins away from their second straight state championship and third in five years. “We know we have our work cut out for us on Saturday with a tough Ardsley team, but we’ve been seeing the ball very well lately and even when we are making outs, we are hitting the ball hard,” Nytransky said. “ This weekend we will just need to play flawless defense, put the bat in the ball, execute and try to continue doing what we have been doing, and that’s win!”

Baby boomer managers are forced to find new ways to connect with millennial players Andy McCullough Los Angeles Times

Ron Washington signed his first baseball contract in 1970. He played his final game in the major leagues in 1989. He became a coach in the 1990s. The Texas Rangers hired him to manage their team in 2006. He persists in this, his fifth decade in the sport, as a coach for the Atlanta Braves and a sage noted for connecting with players. Earlier this year, Washington turned 67. He is a baby boomer surrounded at the ballpark each day by millennials. He traverses the generational gap by seeking to impart wisdom and unlock the potential of his pupils. “Today, they don’t know what work ethic is,” Washington said. “They don’t know what consistency means. And consistency means you’ve got to go on the field and work at your craft. We worked at our craft consistently back in those days.” The rhetoric espoused by Washington has been echoed, perhaps in varied tones, throughout the industry. During this decade, the landscape of advanced metrics has flattened; all 30 teams employ analytics departments. The latest advancements focus on player development rather than talent procurement. The best organizations strive to optimize their players. To do so requires communication above all. So as baseball wades deeper into its information age — a time of Rapsodo and TrackMan, launch angles and spin rates, pitch tunneling and catch probability — managers, coaches and executives are confronting a comprehensive challenge: how to talk to these dang millennials. “You really can’t make a lot of these guys do anything,” said Dave McKay, the 69-year-old first base coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks. “You have to find a way to convince them to play hard for you.” Washington and McKay may sound anachronistic. But they remain employed because of their affability and open-mindedness. They present themselves as allies to the players rather than pedagogues. Washington spoke without rancor or bitterness. He did not rage about sabermetrics or iPhones. He insisted he does not blame younger players for their attitudes. They know no better, he explained. The average age of a major leaguer in 1999 was 28, according to Baseball Reference. In 2009 it was 28. The number remains 28 in 2019. But this crop of 28-year-olds came of age during an era of text messages, YouTube and an education system built around standardized testing, a millennial generation defined as those born between 1981 and 2000 by the Pew Research Center. The difference between the generations can be stark, indi-

cated Ned Yost, the 64-year-old manager of the Kansas City Royals. Take the cinematic cliche of a skipper berating his team. “The manager would come in, scream at you, and it was like water off a duck’s back: Who cares?” Yost said. “Now you scream at them, they’re butthurt for two weeks.” Gabrielle Bosche runs a consulting company called the Millennial Solution, which demystifies their behavior in professional settings. In an interview with The Times, she outlined “the three core tenets of millennial motivation”: setting expectations, providing explanations during instruction, and connecting tasks to a larger goal. Those tenets were often repeated, unprompted, by baseball officials during interviews about the modern player. Teams text players the next day’s lineup the night before a game. This season the Chicago Cubs have issued the lineups before every series so the players can plan their week. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts canvasses his clubhouse hoping to speak with each player on a daily basis. This task arises in part from his upbeat disposition. But he also considers the consistency vital. “If there’s not constant communication, then there’s a lot of ‘I was told this,’” Roberts said. “For me, millennials, being flexible, it seems harder.” Roberts was born in 1972, a member of Generation X. His father was a Marine. Roberts considered instruction from superiors to be sacrosanct. When a coach directed him to perform a task, Roberts said, he rarely asked questions. The current crop of players

react more casually to authority, Bosche explained. “Keep in mind: Millennials were parented in a very democratic way,” Bosche said. “Parents were like, ‘Where do you want to go on vacation?’ And my parents’ generation got in the back of a station wagon and went where dad wanted, and watched whatever dad watched. So our relationship to superiors is much more relaxed than past generations.” Earlier this decade, coaches absorbed information from the front office and distilled it to the players. As the numbers became publicly available, the players began to concoct ideas of their own. Some grew up taking batting practice with swing sensors and studying data about their release point after bullpen sessions. The two-way flow rewards coaches who engage in dialogue. That skill is what appealed to the Dodgers about Dino Ebel, 53, who was hired to coach third base this offseason after more than a decade coaching with the Angels. “I have the information, and while you’re talking to them, in the conversation, you include the data, what we’re doing,” Ebel said. “You make it into a conversation. You hear what he has to say. What I found out is if you let them talk, then it works.” The Dodgers added a millennial to their staff this winter when they brought on 36-yearold former catcher Chris Gimenez as a game-planning coach. Throughout the industry, teams have begun to surround youth with relative youth. After a losing campaign in 2018, the Minnesota Twins deposed manager Paul Molitor,

a 62-year-old Hall of Famer. In his place, chief baseball officer Derek Falvey (36) hired Rocco Baldelli (37). The coaching staff surrounding Baldelli also reflected the shift. When searching for a pitching coach, Falvey opted for Wes Johnson, who had been at the University of Arkansas. Johnson offered a dearth of big league experience. He had never played professional baseball or coached at the professional level. But he had studied biomechanics while coaching at Central Arkansas and learned how to use the pitch-tracking device TrackMan with Dallas Baptist University. He could speak the language of younger pitchers. “These guys are used to using that stuff before they even get into pro ball,” Falvey said. “So now a coach is required, at this stage, to know a little about that to help the player. Because he is going to use it.” The Twins have surged to a sizable lead in the American League Central. Working in concert with 33-year-old assistant pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, Johnson has sharpened the approach of Jose Berrios and helped revive Martin Perez. He arrives at meetings armed with data and interested in discourse. The technological advances make modern pitching sound esoteric to the casual fan. Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling outlined the arcana when explaining how his 24-year-old teammate Walker Buehler analyzes outings. “He can go out there and throw six shutout innings, but he’ll come in and look at the axis that his slider was spinning off of, and the spin rate of

his curveball, and the rise on his fastball,” Stripling said. “And if it’s not what he wants to see, he’ll be like ‘I lucked out.’ Versus if he goes six innings and gives up eight runs, if he comes in and see all his stuff lines up on the TrackMan, he’ll be like ‘I killed it. It just wasn’t my day.’ “ It falls to Dodgers pitching coach Rick Honeycutt to connect with pitchers like Buehler, but also Rich Hill, who at 39 is the eldest in the majors. This is Honeycutt’s 14th year on the job. By his third, he had discerned that players learned more with visual cues than with verbal ones. As the seasons pass, he remains effective because of a blend of acumen and persuasion. His philosophy aligns with his boss, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. Friedman values transparency with his players. This connects them to the organization’s larger goal of winning championships, which aligns with Bosche’s third motivational tenet. “I firmly believe that a more confident and comfortable player performs better,” Friedman said. “And so they gain confidence and feel more comfortable when they feel like they understand what’s going on, and the ‘why?’ of certain things.” Baseball used to be more rigid, Hill indicated. He was born in the spring of 1980, 10 months before Ronald Reagan’s inauguration. He is one of only five current major leaguers who is also a member of Gen X and the only starter who warms up to Pearl Jam’s 1991 grunge touchstone “Even Flow.” He debuted with the Chicago Cubs in 2005 — an era that already feels distant, he said. “Coming up, it used to be like ‘Why the hell can’t you throw strikes?’” Hill said. “Not with everybody — I’m not going to blanket statement all coaches. But now, the environment of major league clubhouses, when a guy gets called up, is much more conducive toward productivity out on the field than it used to be.” The change has been subtle and incremental. The culture did not shift from cruelty to kindness overnight. But as teams seek to gain the advantages at their disposal, they learned to divest themselves of dogma and unproductive tradition. The coaches who remember earlier eras may miss them. Those who remain in the sport understand their purpose is to aid their players above all. “All I’m doing is trying to pass on what I know to be a fact to these young kids,” Washington said. “They need us. They need people like me. They need people like other coaches who have been through it, and can understand how to arrive at what they want to do in life — and that’s be a tremendous baseball player.”

Another Key Yankee, Domingo German, Heads for the Injured List James Wagner The New York Times News Service

CLEVELAND — Concerns about the New York Yankees’ starting rotation deepened Sunday when Domingo German, who entered the day tied for the major league lead with nine wins, landed on the injured list with a strained left hip flexor muscle. German, who kept the discomfort quiet until Saturday, is scheduled to have a magnetic resonance imaging examination in New York on Monday. “I thought I would overcome it,” he said before the Yankees defeated the Cleveland Indians, 7-6, in 10 innings on Aaron Hicks’ run-scoring double. “I tried not to move a lot so that I could overcome it. When I sat for a while in the dugout and stood up again, I couldn’t because getting cold the pain was worse.” German, 26, had been a godsend to the Yankees’ rotation, which has endured several injuries, notably to ace Luis Sev-

erino, who may not return until after the All-Star break. But German’s earned run average shot up to 3.86 from 2.60 over his past three starts. That coincided with when he began feeling discomfort in his hip. He said it hurt only during games until Friday,

when he coughed up four runs over six innings in a 5-2 loss to the Indians. It bothered him most in the second inning, but he continued on. “I lost power when the innings went on and the pitch count rising,” he said. German, a right-hander,

told the Yankees of the pain Saturday when he struggled to land on his left leg during his regular throwing between starts. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the team had encouraged players to speak up about any physical issues, but he noted that there were inevitably little discomforts throughout the long season that did not rise to the level of an IL stint. It was not clear how much time German will miss, but the Yankees hoped it would be a brief absence. Because they have a day off Wednesday, the Yankees do not need a fifth starting pitcher until June 17. They have used an opener when they were short on starting pitching, such as Sunday, when Masahiro Tanaka was supposed to start. He was pushed back to Monday against the New York Mets because of the birth of his daughter. Regardless, the Yankees are

likely to explore starting pitching additions before the July 31 trading deadline. Last week, the Yankees were outbid for the free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel, who signed with the Atlanta Braves for $13 million for this season. C.C. Sabathia has served two IL stints for his balky right knee. James Paxton, who is slated to start Tuesday, missed some time with a left knee injury. Before his ailment, German faced an innings restriction because of his past workload. Severino has not thrown a pitch this season. Still, the Yankees’ rotation entered Sunday with a 3.92 ERA, eighth best in the major leagues. But the stout bullpen has carried a heavy load. Several relief pitchers are on pace for career highs in appearances, and Dellin Betances had a setback last week during his rehabilitation from a shoulder injury.

Pete Alonso, the giddy star rising in Queens Kevin Armstrong The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Michelle Alonso arrived at her seat in section 114 at Citi Field shortly before first pitch on opening day in March. Her husband, Peter, was at her side, as they watched her firstborn, also Peter, be announced to the crowd of 44,424 fans as the starting first baseman, batting second. It was his home debut. Baseball was on parade, but her mind marched back to a quieter time in Queens, her family’s only previous visit to the stadium. It was in the summer of 2016, when Alonso signed his first contract as the New York Mets’ second round pick — No. 64 overall — in Major League Baseball’s amateur draft. “So bizarre,” she says. “Nobody was here. Front office people were out. He just signed quietly in a conference room and they ordered pizza. Still, you felt, hopefully one day he’ll be here, and this is the day.” When he walked to home plate for the first time, the stadium speakers played Cody Johnson’s “Welcome to the Show.” Alonso, 24, is the must-see Met at the moment. For nightly viewers of the team’s longrunning tragicomedy, he offers moonshots and much-needed mirth. In the wake of David Wright’s retirement and Yoenis Cespedes’ rehabilitations, he has filled the offensive void with a knobless bat and boyish exuberance. On pace to surpass New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge’s record of 52 home runs as a rookie with 53, Alonso is the Mets’ homegrown answer to the Yankees slugger. His ability to do so with an eager gait and gracious demeanor has been noticeable when com-

pared to other recent star turns down the No. 7 line. “For a rookie to kind of take on that leadership role like he’s doing, and perform like an AllStar, it’s unbelievable,” Mets manager Mickey Callaway says. “And it’s because he does everything the right way at all times.” The next stop on Alonso’s learning curve is the Subway Series in the Bronx. For Yankees fans just tuning in, here is the scouting report on No. 20: 1. He is known as “The Polar Bear” among his teammates and coaches. His beard, paunch, dense build (6-foot-3, 245 pounds), raw power and

general good nature earned him the nickname. “I’m not surprised,” his mother says. “I’ve got a picture of him shirtless on the Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska because he was like, ‘It’s not cold here.’ He was in eighth grade. This kid.” 2. Alonso is a Statcast all-star. His homers average 410 feet. His longest was 454 feet, and left his bat at 118.3 mph. He leads all rookies in home runs (21), RBIs (46), hits (60), extra-base hits (35), slugging (.604), on-base (.341) and total bases (139). He is also tied for first with triples (2), walks (21) and runs scored (37). When he

hit his latest homer Saturday night, his launch angle was 48 degrees and the apex of the ball’s flight was 185 feet in the air, which tied Cespedes’ highest home run in team history. “I was like, ‘Whoa, that was sick,’” Alonso says. “Probably one of the most interesting ones I’ve hit, for sure. 3. He is taking notes. He keeps a marble composition notebook in his locker with his name, “Peter Alonso,” and the year, “2019,” on the cover, like a schoolboy’s diary. After each game and before he showers, he spends two to three minutes at his locker jot-

ting down thoughts about how he performed, what pitch sequences the opposition threw him and how he can improve. “If I start thinking too much, then the wheels start turning really fast and I get kind of out of control,” he says. “Once I step in that box, I turn the brain off.” 4. Alonso walks past a sign that reads “Hunt Your Pitch” by the dugout each day. He also owns camouflage cleats, a camouflage sleeve, a camouflage jacket, a camouflage travel bag and camouflage sandals that he wears out of the shower. “I just like the style,” he says. “I’m not going to show up in a

full ghillie suit.” 5. He is a former Yankee. Alonso was raised in a house five miles from George M. Steinbrenner Field and played for the Yankees in the Tampa Bay Little League with Steinbrenner’s grandson, Joe. After he won a title in 2002 at age 7, Alonso received a letter from former Yankees manager Joe Torre congratulating Alonso for “upholding the reputation of our team.” Alonso framed it and hung it on his bedroom wall. 6. He’s always had a grownup appetite. Alonso was not allowed to eat off kids’ menus growing up, as his parents felt that processed food was bad for any body. Now, he cooks and appreciates a good wine pairing. 7. His cooking education went beyond food. His father’s approach to breaking in baseball gloves included lathering them in shaving cream and sticking them in the oven in order to loosen it up. It is a tried and true method, but the elder Alonso admitted he left it in a little too long. “It singed the strings,” he said. “My wife was like, ‘What are you doing?’ It smelled like burning skin.” 8. There are steps on his baseball journey that stay with him. The summer before he entered high school, he played a twoweek tournament in Vienna, Austria, with Team USA during the Friendship Games. Off the field, he recalled visiting Mauthausen, the site of a Nazi concentration camp. The image of the “Stairs of Death,” where prisoners were forced to carry blocks of stone up 186 steps, has never left him. “Put a lot in perspective,” he says. “Definitely a necessary experience.”

Stanley Cup Final: Bruins defeat Blues to force Game 7 Curtis Zupke Los Angeles Times

ST. LOUIS — A deep, thunderous cheer greeted the St. Louis Blues just before they took the ice for the third period. It didn’t matter that they trailed by a goal. Surely they could erase that and march on to history with their first Stanley Cup. But 2:31 into the period, Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo sent a soft shot from roughly 60 feet away that skipped past Blues goalie Jordan Binnington, and the arena fell silent. Boston didn’t just turn down the volume on the Blues in Game 6 of the Final on Sunday. Behind goalie Tuukka Rask and a motivational push from Patrice Bergeron, it turned town the volume on an entire city with a clutch 5-1 win at Enterprise Center to force Game 7 on Wednesday. The Bruins stared down St. Louis in a heightened situation with 28 saves by Rask and goals by Carlo, Brad Marchand, Karson Kuhlman, David

Pastrnak and Zdeno Chara. Bergeron, the face of the team, apparently addressed his teammates beforehand about staying alive. “It was exactly what we needed,” Charlie McAvoy said. “It was an element of what the dream is. Growing up, every one of us shares the same dream and kind of just bringing us all to a point where we can all be on the same field. “We were all a little kid once and we all wanted this bad. And I think it was just an element of savoring this moment and not letting it end tonight. It was exactly what we needed.” Bergeron’s leadership was representative of a tested Boston team that has been through many of these scenarios. Sunday have been as challenging as it gets, though, with the opposing city on the verge of eruption. The watch party at nearby Market Street was filled to capacity and the building was packed for pregame warmups. Then Boston played exactly the road game it needed,

thanks in big part to Rask as he states his case for the Conn Smythe Trophy. “I think he’s been doing this the whole playoff run,” Bergeron said. “But tonight he was definitely on and made some tremendous saves and kept us in the game for a while.” Rask was set to become the fourth goalie in NHL history to post a shutout when playing an elimination game in the Final before Ryan O’Reilly broke the bid. O’Reilly got the puck on the left side and fired the puck, but play kept going before replays showed the puck crossed the line with almost eight minutes to go in regulation to make the score 3-1. But Pastrnak scored when Sean Kuraly won a puck behind the Blues’ net with fewer than six minutes to go, and Chara scored on an empty net. St. Louis was presented with generous opportunity in the second period with two power plays, but it fell to 0 for 17 in the series. Its’ best chance was on Marchand’s tripping penalty.

behind my back and it stuck in my pants and fell somewhere,” Rask said. The Blues gained another See BRUINS B4

Ortiz, retired Red Sox slugger, shot in Dominican Republic Daniel Victor The New York Times News Service

DOUGLAS DEFELICE/USA TODAY

Boston Red Sox former player David Ortiz walks on the field prior to the Grapefruit League game between the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins at JetBlue Park.

David Ortiz, the retired baseball player who became one of the game’s most respected athletes while playing a key role in Boston ending its 86-year World Series drought, was shot in the Dominican Republic on Sunday, according to the country’s national police. Ortiz, 43, was shot once in the back at a club in East Santo Domingo, the police said. He was in stable condition at a hospital Sunday night. His father, Leo Ortiz, told reporters that his son was out of danger and that the bullet did not hit any major organs. Ortiz’s media assistant, Leo Lopez, told ESPN that Ortiz underwent surgery for six hours and that part of his intestines, colon and gallblad-

der were removed. The gunman ambushed Ortiz after getting off a motorcycle and shooting the ballplayer in the back at nearly point-blank range, a police spokesman told The Associated Press. The suspect was captured and beaten by a crowd of people at the bar, and the police would wait for him to be treated before he is questioned, the spokesman said. Ortiz, who played 20 years in the major leagues before retiring in 2016, spent 14 seasons in Boston, where he established himself as one of the city’s most successful and beloved athletes. He finished with 541 home runs, placing 17th of all time, and was part of three World Series-winning teams. The Red Sox said Monday that Ortiz was recovering after

surgery. “We have offered David’s family all available resources to aid in his recovery and will continue to keep them in our hearts,” the team said in a statement. Commonly known by his nickname, Big Papi, Ortiz has raised millions of dollars through his foundation to help children’s medical needs in New England and the Dominican Republic, where he was born. He will be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2021. Ortiz once said he wanted to be remembered as a nice guy more than he wanted to be remembered as a ballplayer. “When you respect people and show people love, I think you’re never going to forget about that,” Ortiz said in See ORTIZ B4

No-brainer or not, is Carson Wentz worth the Eagles’ investment? Jeff McLane The Philadelphia Inquirer

While there are valid arguments on both sides of the public debate over the merits of the four-year, $128 million contract the Eagles and Carson Wentz agreed upon Thursday, the climactic line from the film “Unforgiven” springs to mind for those who don’t believe the quarterback has done enough to warrant the blockbuster deal. Deserve’s got nothing to do with it. Nothing may be too severe a term in this case, as Wentz has already accomplished a significant amount in his first three seasons. But as with many NFL contracts, you often pay for projection over production, and the Eagles had to be willing to gamble some if they wanted to get what could be a team-friendly contract. They were pot committed after the ante of trading up and drafting Wentz in 2016, and subsequent wagers like building around him for the

“I feel like I have been that way with everybody, and that’s better than just thinking about the guy that used to hit home runs. Because I see a lot of players, they get to be extremely good when they play, but their personality doesn’t come along, and when they’re done, you never see anyone talk about them.” He may be best known for his role in helping the Red Sox end their 86-year World Series curse in 2004.

advantage in the period on McAvoy’s tripping penalty and St. Louis couldn’t generate anything on chippy ice that made the puck bounce all night. The Blues tried to make complicated plays on the rough surface instead of simple ones, and their strong play on the wall faltered. St. Louis coach Craig Berube said Rask made good saves but pointed to the special teams. “Can it be better?” Berube said. “Yeah, it has to be better. It could have won us the game tonight ... we had 12 shots on the power play tonight, but we’ve definitely got to bury a couple.” Boston struck first on a five-on-three advantage gained because of O’Reilly’s

Alonso From B3

9. He has his differences with the Mets ownership. Sure, he appreciated being given the opportunity to start this season in the majors after the team refused to call him up to the big leagues in September — despite hitting 36 homers in the minors. But, while Alonso went to the University of Florida and led the Gators to the College World Series in 2016, his family also has deep ties to Ohio State. He is aware that the Mets owner Fred Wilpon is a Michigan man with great affection for his alma mater. “It’s kind of funny that the Wilpons are Michigan fans,” says Alonso. “Everyone in my family, we just hate Michigan.” 10. He is not kidding about his ill will for college rivals. When the Mets played in St. Louis, Alonso was hit in the hand, and was expected to rest the next day. But while Callaway was out

short term and releasing Super Bowl-winning backup Nick Foles. But the Eagles have good hold cards. They may not have pocket aces, but they have a high pair, and three of a kind after the flop. That might not be an all-in scenario, but after one look around the league, there is probably only one team that would take its own hand, considering age and talent, over that of the Eagles, and that’s the Chiefs. And no franchise, considering the way this game of poker has unfolded, would have done otherwise. It could be argued that waiting a year would have been the more prudent move. Wentz has failed to finish each of the last two seasons and has suffered significant injuries in all three of his NFL seasons. But even if he were to get hurt again, he would still command top dollar. He’s only 26 and he’s already played at an MVP level.

year, he buried the rival New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series with a home run to end Game 4, a single to win Game 5 and another home run in Game 7. Even the Yankees honored Ortiz with a painting and a ceremony in 2016 during his last game in Yankee Stadium. Despite all of the pain he inflicted on them, Yankees fans sent him off with a standing ovation. “He’s one of the friendliest guys in the game,” Brian McCann, the Yankees catcher at the time, said after the game. “And he’s had a Hall of Fame career.” puck-over-the-glass delay of game penalty. Marchand one-timed Pastrnak’s feed from the right circle and beat Binnington over the glove side 8:40 into the first period. That ended a two-game slump on the power play for the Bruins, who went 0 for 5 in Games 4-5. “Bad play by myself,” O’Reilly said. “It took the wind out of our sails. We took too long to climb back in and obviously their second goal was just a lucky bounce. It just kind of bounced up on ‘Binner. There’s not much you can do there.” Chants of “Let’s Go Blues” still went up after the buzzer. St. Louis will have to carry that support on the road if it wants to make history. “We’ve been a good road team all year,” Pietrangelo said. “We know we need to play better and we’ve had a good recipe on the road, so we’ll use that.”

to dinner with his parents that night, he received text messages from Alonso. In the next game, the Cardinals were starting Dakota Hudson, whom Alonso had faced at Mississippi State. “He was like, ‘Hey, I want to play tomorrow. I hate this guy. I played against him in college,’” Callaway says. “He was going nuts.” Alonso drove the second Hudson pitch he saw 444 feet. 11. Alonso is headlining his own production of “Frozen,” co-starring opposing outfielders. His line drives are hit with such force that fielders are left with no choice but to freeze. “I haven’t seen too many home runs where nobody in the field moved,” his teammate Brandon Nimmo says, recalling a spring training homer against the Red Sox. “Literally no one moved.” 12. Do not poke the polar bear. On the last day of spring training, Jeff McNeil, the Mets’ utility fielder who answers to the nickname “Flying Squirrel,” mashed his fourth home run to

LeBronification of Browns begins with Beckham Jr. joining Mayfield

KEN BLAZE/USA TODAY

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (13) runs a drill during minicamp at the Cleveland Browns training facility.

Marla Ridenour BEREA, Ohio — The LeBronification of the Browns has begun. Soon the parking lot across from team headquarters at 76 Lou Groza Blvd. will be filled an hour before media availabilities like the driveway leading to the Cleveland Clinic Courts for Cavaliers’ shootaround, when sincedeparted star LeBron James always spoke. Soon selfie sticks will be jerry-rigged with rubber bands to get voice recorders inside locker room scrums, a trick Steve Aschburner of NBA.com employed and saw copied during the James-led Cavs playoff runs. Soon one microphone stand won’t be enough — coach Freddie Kitchens had to use one finger to support the unbalanced and overloaded contraption last week — and Browns public relations staffers will email audio to beat writers as the Cavs do, a practice that continues even with James gone to the Los Angeles Lakers. Soon every interview will have the potential to go viral, every word will be dissected, every tweet will be examined for possible cryptic passages. The drama-filled circus has been to Browns Town before, but its engagement was short when 2014 first-round pick Johnny Manziel proved to be a bust. The madness that began last Tuesday might not end until Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham Jr. depart, and Browns

fans around the world hope they’re wearing “not two, not three, not four ...” Super Bowl rings when that day comes. Since general manager John Dorsey traded for New York Giants three-time Pro Bowl receiver Beckham on March 12 to pair with quarterback Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick in 2018, the Browns have become the epicenter of the NFL universe. The attention is similar to when James returned to Cleveland and took the Cavs to four consecutive NBA Finals and one championship from 2014-17. Handling life in the microscope will be a major challenge for the Browns and first-year coach Kitchens, known in his hometown of Gadsden, Ala. as an authentic and “rough around the edges” personality who isn’t afraid to speak his mind. The Browns’ 2018 preseason appearance on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” made them America’s lovable underdog trying to reverse years of losing. Now with Mayfield, 6-7 as a rookie starter, leading an offense that includes receivers Beckham, Jarvis Landry and Antonio Callaway, running back Nick Chubb and tight end David Njoku, they will be “SportsCenter”-worthy on a nightly basis. Or at least as long as they live up to the hype and remain legitimate playoff contenders. Jim Nantz, the voice of CBS Sports, told the Beacon Journal/Ohio.com in a recent interview on another

subject that he and analyst Tony Romo have received their season assignments. Nantz said that although the home schedule isn’t too enticing, the network’s top crew is scheduled to broadcast Browns games at New England on Oct. 27 and at Pittsburgh on Dec. 1. Nantz, whose in-laws live in the Cleveland area, hopes to visit Browns training camp the week before the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs begin Aug. 8. He won’t be the only one. Every national NFL writer who still makes a training camp swing will surely include Berea, Ohio. Twitter may be abuzz with famous visitors. Will Alabama coach Nick Saban stop by to see Kitchens, the former Crimson Tide quarterback, before fall camp begins? What about James, who holds his foundation’s annual “We Are Family” outing at Cedar Point every August? The turnout and the discussions prompted by last week’s mandatory minicamp sessions gave a hint of what is to come. On Tuesday, Mayfield’s “You’re either on this train or you’re not” comment directed at running back Duke Johnson, who still wants to be traded, was debated on seemingly every national sports radio and television show, with more criticism directed at Mayfield than Johnson. On Wednesday, Beckham’s pre-practice interview that turned into a post-practice interview drew

an estimated 35 reporters, 10 TV or web cameras and six still photographers. The crowd forced a few reporters to sit in front of the bank of videographers. For those used to covering James’ second stint with the Cavs, it was a comparable media frenzy. Through what will be a wild July and August in terms of attention, the Browns used to toiling in anonymity will experience a whole new world. Left guard Joel Bitonio, 27, who is preparing to start his sixth season, said he’s ready to handle it. “Not much I say goes on ‘SportsCenter,’ so that’s fine,” Bitonio said. “A guy like Odell has been in the spotlight, he’s been in New York, a huge media market. A lot of people are coming here for sure, but I think we’re ready for it. Baker’s a Heisman Trophy winner. Jarvis has been in that position. “It’s good to have people that want to hear the story. ... It’s going to be a fun training camp.” If the crush of the cameras and celebrities and the shaky mic stand filled with recorders and cellphones become too much, Beckham could consult his friend James for advice. Considering James’ departure for Los Angeles last summer, the least the loyal Browns fan can do is help them through the unchartered waters of life in the spotlight.

tie Alonso for the team lead. “So, you and me got the same amount of pop,” McNeil told Alonso in the dugout. “We’re the same player.” Alonso outweighs McNeil by 50 pounds and has a good 3 inches on him, and has 19 more home runs than him this season. “He’s just a funny cat,” Alonso says. 13. He has served as chauffeur for his chief competitor for playing time. After an event with sponsors in March, Alonso and Dom Smith, who were neck and neck in a battle at first base, realized they lived just a block apart. Alonso offered Smith a lift, and they have formed a bond since. After a recent victory, Alonso, the starter from Florida, and Smith, the reserve from California, could be heard trying to pronounce the Mets’ rallying cry at their neighboring lockers. “You gotta believe!” Smith said. “No, no, it’s, ‘Ya gotta believe!’” Alonso said. 14. He is reading “Crossing

the Line: The Outrageous Story of a Hockey Original,” by former Boston Bruin Derek Sanderson. Sanderson racked up 98 penalty minutes as a rookie, won two Stanley Cups and co-owned the nightclub Bachelors III with Joe Namath during Broadway Joe’s heyday in New York. Sanderson wound up homeless and sleeping on a Central Park bench before rebounding to serve as a financial adviser. “Just trying to get inside his head,” Alonso says. 15. He will throw his weight around — probably. When the Mets seemed on the verge of a fight with the Phillies during a game in April, third baseman Todd Frazier noticed Alonso’s eagerness. “I think he was a little excited,” Frazier says. “He ran over. I’m like, Here comes this polar bear, what is he doing? I told him, if he wants to stand next to me go ahead.” 16. He has a favorite comic book hero, and it’s not the Dark Knight. “I’ve got a special pair of Superman underwear,” Alonso

says while standing with his fiancée before a private screening for “Avengers: Endgame” in Times Square. 17. He regularly reminds himself that baseball is a game of failure. While Mets fans are “absolutely crazy about supporting the team, and I love it,” he says, they can also challenge his relentless positivity. As clamors about Callaway’s employment status grow louder, Alonso noted, “This game, it can be very rude at times.” 18. He’s earned respect from the defending NL Cy Young Award winner. After Alonso hit his first homer in Miami, Jacob deGrom — the last Met to win rookie of the year honors — approached Alonso, and the two shared a quiet exchange. “The guy has some of the most power I’ve ever seen,” deGrom says. 19. He is ready for Yankee Stadium, where the Mets will take on their cross-town rivals in a two-game series starting Monday. One of his penchants is to drive outside pitches the op-

posite way, and the right-field porch is just 318 feet from home plate in the Bronx. Bonus: He can leave his glove in Queens as Callaway plans to use him as the designated hitter Monday night. With Judge sidelined because of an injury, Alonso will have the stage to himself. “I don’t want to compare myself to anyone or put myself in a box or mold,” Alonso says. “I just want to continue to evolve and just be my own player. Hopefully one day people will say, ‘He’s Peter Alonsoish.’” 20. His bat could help pay some upcoming bills. If he is selected to participate in this year’s home run derby — a prospect he called “mind boggling” — he’d have incentive to try to win it. As a rookie, he is making the league minimum $555,000. This year, Major League Baseball added a $2.5 million pool of bonuses for the derby, including $1 million for the winner. “That would definitely pay for the wedding costs,” he says.

After 30 years, husband says marriage isn’t what he wanted Just months before our 30th wedding anniversary, my husband told me he doesn’t love me and never wanted to marry me. I am beyond devastated. I feel I have wasted the best DEAR ABBY years of my life. We have two beautiful daughters who are my everything. When he revealed this news to me, it turned my life upside down. I don’t know how to process it or what to do. I have spent years begging him to be more affectionate and loving. I always assumed he just didn’t know how to show love. It never crossed my mind that he has never loved me. I feel naive, betrayed and robbed. Hopeless In The Midwest

When your husband handed you that “bouquet,” was he angry or inebriated? It is hard to believe that a man would stay married for 30 years to someone he didn’t love and didn’t want to marry in the first place. (Shotgun weddings are long out of style.) Revisit that conversation with him, and if he tells you he meant what he said, you are justified in feeling the way you describe. The questions then become are you better with him or without him, and what are your legal rights in the state in which you and this man live. (Not referring to him as your “husband” was not an oversight.) I recently left my job and flew across the country for an internship on a small farm to learn about sustainable farming. I have been here a week. I have met some awesome people and have been having some fun with them in my free time. However, I’m now hav-

ing second thoughts. This is hard, physical labor, and my living conditions are a lot more rustic and communal than I was led to believe. There is no electricity in our quarters, and we cook our meals outside on a propane stove. Also, the internship is unpaid, and I’ll have to pay to take a summer class. While I feel I am benefiting from this experience, I miss my old job (which I can get back) and the more comfortable lifestyle. Do you think I need to give this internship more time? Across The Country You signed on for the internship for a good reason — to learn. Having done that, it will be not only educational but also characterbuilding to see it through until the end of the summer. This isn’t forever, and the lessons you learn may last a lifetime. My 15-year-old son has difficulty expressing himself and keeps things bottled up. You often advise people to seek counseling. Could you please advise me about how to begin that process and how to find the right fit and person for one’s individual needs? Involved Parent In Virginia

Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder. The word “tardive” is from the French word for “late development”; “dys” is the Greek root for “bad”; and “kinesia” comes from the Greek word for “movement.” It is often caused by long-term use of psychiatric medicine, especially antipsychotic medicine, such as the perphenazine your sister is taking. Symptoms of TD often involve the face, especially uncontrolled movements of the lips and tongue, which can affect speaking and eating. Other facial and jaw muscles are affected. The abnormal movements may also include other parts of the body, including the neck and torso, but also fingers and toes. It is much better to prevent TD than it is to treat. The condition can be largely prevented by

Start by asking your doctor to refer you to a specialist who works with adolescents. The company that provides your health insurance can also give you some referrals. After you and your son meet the candidates, it is simply a matter of choosing a therapist your son feels comfortable talking with.

Tardive dyskinesia involves uncontrolled facial movements I have a 67-year-old sister who has several medical issues. One of the more uncommon is called tardive dyskinesia. Most people have never heard of this, myself included, until my sister came down with it. I wonder if you could write about this and explain the different medications that would help. The medications TO YOUR she is on are perphenazine, GOOD HEALTH Lamictal, lithium, Cogentin and insulin. She is currently on a drug called Austedo (deutetrabenazine) to try to treat the tardive dyskinesia.

Family Circus

not using antipsychotic drugs for long periods of time if possible, and using the smallest possible dose. This is especially important in people over age 50. Benztropine (Cogentin) is still sometimes used to prevent abnormal movements; however, it generally should not be used long term and stopped if TD develops. Benztropine should also not generally be used in people over 65. If people develop TD, the first thing usually to do is to stop the medicine causing it, which appears to be the perphenazine she is taking. Unfortunately, this isn’t always possible, but it should be attempted, and perhaps replaced by a drug with lower risk of TD, such as quetiapine or clozapine. Deutetrabenazine is a new drug with which I have no experience, but it was approved after studies showed moderate effectiveness. I am concerned that your sister may not be receiving optimal care. I only ever hear one side of the story, but continued treatment with Cogentin and perphenazine is not the standard of care for people with tardive dyskinesia. There may be reasons why she continues to take these of which I am unaware, but it would be appropriate to have a discussion with her psychiatrist or get a second opinion.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are quite a go-getter, the kind to reach for the stars — and grasp them tight and never let go. You are always one to do something yourself rather than take the risk of letting others make mistakes in your name. When the going gets tough, you step forward; you are willing and able to weather all manner of hardships — provided, of course, there are very clear rewards waiting for you when all is said and done. You don’t do anything just for the pleasure of doing it; you always want some kind of prize, be it recognition, praise or tangible rewards. And regardless of what anyone else thinks, you are always working for yourself. Your generosity knows very strict limits, and you’re not likely to sacrifice much for others in your lifetime. You can, at times, be quite disagreeable; you want to do things your own way, and you won’t be hemmed in by rules, regulations or the desires of others. This is sure to result in conflict, often in the workplace, and there will be times when you and others simply have to agree to disagree. Also born on this date are: Shia LaBeouf, actor; Joe Montana, football player; Hugh Laurie, actor; Gene Wilder, actor; Vince Lombardi, football coach; Jacques Cousteau, oceanographic explorer. 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. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12 GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It’s best to start at the beginning today, but you may not be able to do that. Wherever you start, you’ll want to make a statement. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Productivity is a main issue throughout the day. Yours is high, as ex-

pected, but you may have to push others to increase their output. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Whether or not you work at home, you will want to maintain communications with those who are keeping the home fires burning today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re getting in the mood for some fun in the sun, but external forces may not be cooperating just yet. Still, you can make plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Nostalgia proves inspiring to you today, but you must guard against being drawn back so far into the past that you cannot see your own future. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may be facing certain situations today that you simply cannot combat. It’s best to accept certain difficult realities and just move on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — If you’re not willing to ask for help today, then you’re not likely to get the help you need. With help you can achieve almost anything. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Certain trends have robbed you of your enthusiasm perhaps, but today you can get it back with the help of a certain special friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Any delays can be quite serious today; you’ll want to watch the clock and be sure everything is done on time — and under budget too. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may be willing to do something quite unusual for someone you’ve only just met. The question is: Is this just a one-off? ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You can put something you’ve just learned to very good use today. Personal development reaches a new level at this time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Despite how you feel about a certain someone, you’re still going to have to insist that he or she follow the rules. They will keep you safe.
