The former Greene County Jail on Bridge Street in Catskill was listed among the top five worst jails in the state by the Commission of Correction. The report includes multiple policy and procedure citations, such as the 2016 finding that inmates were being kept in their cells for a majority of the day without cause.

COXSACKIE — As construction on the new Greene County jail looms, a proposed state law may change the way prisons and jails deal with solitary confinement. Legislation called the Humane Alternatives to Long-Term Solitary Confinement Act was on the Senate floor Wednesday, the last day of the state legislative session. In the Assembly, the bill was referred to the Ways and Means Committee in March. Sponsored by state Sen. Luis Sepulveda, D-32, and Assemblyman Jeffrion Aubry, D-35, the bill would restrict the use of segregated confinement and create alternative therapeutic and rehabilitative confinement options. “Solitary confinement is torture,” Sepulveda said in a statement. “We have seen the horrific effects of longterm confinement on incarcerated people and their families, far too often resulting in suicide or life-long trauma. We must treat everyone with dignity and humanity, including those in our correctional system. The HALT bill will end long-term solitary confinement and create evidence-based rehabilitation programs to holistically support those who need it most. I am grateful to my colleagues and the advocates who are working hard to make sure we pass S1623 and end torture in New York State.” Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said he thinks felt the law is

CATSKILL — Trustees have begun the grant application process in an effort to update infrastructure and improve the quality of village drinking water. Due to aging infrastructure and challenging weather conditions throughout the year, the village Department of Public Works has been battling discolored water from heavy rainfall and water main breaks, often in sub-zero temperatures. In February the board approved a $250,000 bond to replace one of the filters at the water plant and purchase new water meters and new billing software to improve service for customers. The new set of funding will be used to upgrade the filtration system and to replace the water mains beneath Main Street, Village President Vincent Seeley said Wednesday. “This work is crucial to continue the development of Catskill,” he said. “We won’t be capable of expanding the system without making an upgrade.” The village recently committed to extending water lines to Green Suites Resort, a 50-unit hotel, to be sited at the Catskill Golf Resort on Brooks Lane in Jefferson Heights. Owner David Vipler is applying for an $8.2 million economic development grant from Empire State Development, but he said he will pay out of pocket for the $179,000 worth of new lines if necessary. “Our project water usage is 10,040 gallons per day and the same for sewer,” Vipler said. The town planning board will hold a public hearing on the resort June 25. The village board has hired Delaware Engineering to prepare an application package, Seeley said. “We want to submit to as many places as we can,” Seeley said, adding that the board’s engineer, James Calavari, is reviewing applicable grants.

Thruway tollbooths to become relics By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media
ALBANY — Tollbooths along the New York State Thruway will soon be no more. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced this week that the state has contracted with a “Design-Build team” to install cashless tolling and remove existing tollbooths on the Thruway by the end of 2020. The project comes with a price tag of $355.3 million, according to the governor’s office. “New York state is making historic investments building a modern transportation network worthy of the 21st century and beyond,” Cuomo said. “By investing in technology like cashless tolling, we are creating a safer, greener and less congested Thruway system

and ensuring our transportation infrastructure is capable of supporting New
York’s growing economy.” There are two Thruway exits in the
Twin Counties, both in Greene County — Exit 21 in Catskill and Exit 21B in Coxsackie. A total of 52 Thruway interchanges will be eliminated along all 450 miles of road between Exit 15 in Woodbury and Exit 61 at the Pennsylvania state line. Exits B1-B3, along the Berkshire Spur, are included in the plan. The tollbooths in Catskill and Coxsackie will eventually be removed, but local officials said they have not been told when that will happen. “I know the state just signed a contract for the provision, but I have not been told when it would move into our area, nor do I know if we will be notified because the Thruway Authority is a public authority so they don’t answer See TOLLBOOTHS A2

geared more toward prisons, he said. “There is no design in my jail for solitary confinement,” Groden said. “Every cell is the same.” If an inmate was violent, they could be left in their cell, Groden said. “But they still need so many hours of exercise,” he added. Having special housing and procedures for solitary confinement is nothing new, Greene County Sheriff Greg Seeley said. “I’m sure there will be a room or two designated for it in the new jail,” Seeley said. At the former jail at 80 Bridge St. in Catskill, a special housing unit could be created by closing off one to two cells for an inmate, Seeley said. “And they are only allowed out at certain times,” he said. “That’s what happens when they can’t behave themselves.” Solitary was not a common occurrence at the former jail, Seeley said. “I can’t remember a time when we’ve had to indefinitely confine someone because they can’t behave,” he said. In the state Commission of Correction’s 2018 Worst Offender’s report, Greene County Jail was listed among the top five worst facilities in the state.

Greene County lawmakers discuss an amendment to remove a $1.3 million garage from the plans for the new jail at a recent meeting. Construction of the jail could begin as early as next week.
The majority of the commission’s evaluation for Greene County included citations for improper policies and procedures. After site visits in March and April 2016, the facility was found to have been locking male inmates in their cells for a majority of the day as a matter of routine practice, according to the report. “Such inmates did not pose a threat to the safety and security of the facility, staff, or other inmates, and the facility could not justify such lockins,” according to the report. Correspondence from the
commission to Seeley and Greene County Attorney Ed Kaplan in November 2016 ordered the jail to discontinue this practice and amend its policies and procedures. The jail discontinued the lock-ins, according to the report. Construction on the new 48-bed facility, which will be built off Route 9W in Coxsackie, is set to begin late next week, Groden said. Although the U.S. Department of Agriculture, from which the county is borrowing $39 million for the project, has not signed off on the
construction contracts, the project will continue. “We have the option to pursue a general obligation bond instead,” Groden said, adding that the rates may end up being less than the 3.5% interest rate set by the USDA. Congressman Antonio Delgado did not respond to multiple requests for comment regarding the use of USDA funding for the jail. A switch in financing would not require board action because the Legislature authorized the funding back in September, Groden said.
system is ongoing,” he said. The board will consider different options for filtration, depending on how much funding is available, Seeley said. One proposal is to switch to a carbon filtration system. “The carbon filter would cost $600,000,” Seeley said,
adding that it would cost an additional $20,000 to $30,000 annually for maintenance. A goal of making these changes is to improve THM levels in village water. “If there is less biological content in the water, it doesn’t react as much with chlorine,” Seeley said.
THMs, or Trihalomethanes, are a group of four chemicals that is created from that reaction and are used as an indicator of water quality, according to water-research.net. The federal Environmental Protection Agency guideline for THMs is 80 micrograms per liter.

This is an issue across the economy as low-tech jobs are replaced by machines.” New Baltimore Town Supervisor Jeff Ruso said the town has been preparing for the change. “Earlier this year our town clerk applied for and received an account to sell E-ZPass at town hall and we announced it to our town residents so we can help more people in the town get E-ZPass. We did this in preparation for cashless tolls,” Ruso said. “I do worry about those people who won’t have employment any longer, some of whom I know personally. They are not certain where they will land. One’s actually retired because he was of age to retire and this was the trigger to actually do it.” For more information on how the new system will work, visit thruway.ny.gov.

Man arraigned on child sex abuse charges By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media
HUDSON — An East Chatham man was arraigned in Columbia County Court on Tuesday on charges that he sexually abused a child several times over a four-year period. Daniel Bemiss, 52, East Chatham, was arraigned on two counts of first-degree criminal sex act, a class B felony; two counts of firstdegree sexual abuse, a class D felony; two counts of second-degree criminal sex
act, a class D felony; three counts of third-degree criminal sexual act, a class E felony; second-degree sexual abuse, a class A misdemeanor; and two counts of sexual abuse in the third degree, a class B misdemeanor. The charges stem from several alleged incidents from 2009 to 2013 in New Lebanon, according to court documents. The acts ranged from touching of the genitals to engaging in oral sex, according to court documents.
Bemiss has been held without bail since his arrest on Dec. 26, police said. Defense attorney John Hillman asked the court to reconsider Bemiss’ bail to a modest amount. He said his client is from Columbia County, poses minimal flight risk and has family in the area. His client also waived a grand jury proceeding. County prosecutors opposed bail based on the seriousness of the charges and the amount of time Bemiss
could face in prison. Columbia County Judge Richard Koweek set bail at $100,000. An order of projection was issued on behalf of the victim. The defense waived a possible indictment by a grand jury. Koweek scheduled a trial to begin April 6, 2020. The alleged offenses were committed against one child who was under the age of 15 at the time the alleged abuse first occurred, according to court documents. State police are investi-
gating the incident. Bemiss was initially arrested on Dec. 26 and waived his right to a preliminary hearing. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Oct. 10. Assistant District Attorney Krista Kline is prosecuting the case. State Police Investigator Robin Reed investigated the case.

OUR VIEW
Driving the point home The question we ought to ask following passage of the Green Light bill in the state Legislature and the signing of the bill into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo is, Will this put qualified, trained drivers on our roads? Instead, some wonder whether the driver’s licenses could open the door to fraudulent voting by people who are ineligible to vote. We are not in a good place. Foes say the Green Light bill will actually green-light fraud, danger and voting by illegal immigrants, which will result in New York becoming a Sanctuary State. This thinking is uneasily reminiscent of poll taxes and literacy tests in the 1960s.
The Green Light bill, officially known as the Driver’s License Access and Privacy Act, will restore the right to obtain a driver’s license, regardless of immigration status. The fact is that the law has a precedent. Immigration status was not an issue before 2001. In the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, changes to visa policies, new security procedures and measures to combat fraud, including denying undocumented immigrants driver’s licenses, contributed to a shift in the traditional composition of U.S. immigration policy, according to the Migration Policy Institute. The substance of the
criticism from foes of the Green Light bill suggests a “Jim Crow” approach, a reference to the era of racially discriminatory laws that were in place in Southern states until the 1960s. The Green Light bill, now the law, ensures all drivers on state, county and local roads are properly trained to operate their vehicle and that motorists can safely get to and from their jobs. The law has nothing to do with an immigration status or voting rights. But it has much to do with access and privacy — the second half of the law’s title. This is a new world. It is not 2001 anymore.
ANOTHER VIEW
Trump’s latest immigration threat is yet another half-baked plan (c) 2019, The Washington Post ·
President Donald Trump, already famous for his premature annunciations, has again broadcast a plan that isn’t quite cooked. By declaring on Monday that mass arrests of illegal immigrants would begin “next week,” the president not only caught his agents by surprise but also apparently tipped off a move still in the discussion stage. No great surprise there; it was just a few days ago that Trump proclaimed the appointment of Thomas Homan as his “border czar,” only to have Homan immediately demur, saying the announcement was “kind of premature.” The president’s tweet previewing “the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States” combines menace and hyperbole. It is likely to induce anxiety and panic in some immigrant communities, even though Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency responsible for deportations, lacks the officers, detention space and other resources to remove “millions” of migrants except possibly over the course of years.
More to the point, perhaps, doing so would necessarily entail shattering large numbers of families, including ones well established over a decade or more of residency and whose children, born in this country, are citizens. As Trump and his administration discovered a year ago, Americans are rightly appalled at the sight of government agents wrenching apart parents and their children; they would likely react just as badly to a rerun involving their neighbors as they did to the original iteration, in which agents focused on families who had recently crossed the border. Of the roughly 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States, about 1 million are estimated to be subject to final orders of removal by immigration judges. Presumably, they are the ones who would be prioritized for arrest by ICE - and should be, particularly if they have serious criminal convictions on their records. As for the millions of others, a large majority of whom are law-abiding, employed and woven into U.S. communities, families and lives, ICE should proceed with cau-
tion. Granted, the agency is entitled to arrest those who face removal orders if their cases have been fully adjudicated. But there is also no question that some prospective deportees are spouses and parents of U.S. citizens; rent payers and mortgage holders; valued employees and managers. The caricature of dangerous, criminal migrants painted by Trump - whose own golf clubs have been happy to employ many undocumented migrants bears scarce resemblance to reality. To the president, illegal immigrants have been a political convenience - a wedge issue tailor-made to excite his nativist base. Little wonder that the president who excoriated the mayor of Oakland, California, for spilling the beans on a planned raid by deportation agents thought nothing of doing the same for a much bigger operation in the works - and did so on the eve of the formal kickoff of his 2020 campaign, at a rally in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday evening. Expect more such incitement from a chief executive for whom undocumented immigrants are political props, not real people.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘Those that set in motion the forces of evil cannot always control them afterwards.’
Oberlin has graduated from self-caricature to disgrace “You Americans do not rear children, you incite them; you give them food and shelter and applause.” — Randall Jarrell, “Pictures from an Institution” WASHINGTON — Oberlin College has an admirable liberal past and a contemptible progressive present that will devalue its degrees far into the future. This is condign punishment for the college’s mendacity about helping to incite a mob mentality and collective bullying in response to “racist” behavior that never happened. Founded in 1833, Oberlin became one of the nation’s first colleges to admit African Americans, and its first coeducational liberal arts college. It has, however, long since become a byword for academic self-caricature, where students protest, among many microaggressions, the food service’s insensitive cultural appropriation of banh mi sandwiches, sushi and General Tso’s chicken. Oberlin could have been Randall Jarrell’s model for his fictional Benton College, where people “would have swallowed a porcupine, if you had dyed its quills and called it Modern Art; they longed for men to be discovered on the moon, so that they could show that they weren’t prejudiced toward moon men.” In November 2016, a clerk in Gibson’s Bakery, having seen a black Oberlin student shoplifting bottles of wine, pursued the thief. The thief and two female friends were, according to the police report, kicking and punching the clerk on the ground when the police arrived. Some social justice warriors — they evidently cut class the day critical thinking was taught, if it is taught at Oberlin — instantly accused the bakery of racially profiling the shoplifter, an accusation complicated by the fact that the shoplifter and his partners in assault pleaded guilty. The warriors mounted a protracted campaign against the bakery’s reputation and solvency. But with the cowardice characteristic of
WASHINGTON POST
GEORGE F.
WILL bullies, Oberlin claimed in court that it had nothing to do with what its students did when they acted on the progressive righteousness that they imbibe at the school. However, at an anti-bakery protest, according to a complaint filed by the bakery, the dean of students helped distribute fliers, produced on college machines, urging a boycott because “this is a RACIST establishment with a LONG ACCOUNT of RACIAL PROFILING and DISCRIMINATION.” (There is no record of any such complaints against the bakery, from which Oberlin bought goods until the hysteria began.) According to court documents, the administration purchased pizza for the protesters and authorized the uses of student funds to buy gloves for protesters. The college also signaled support for the protests by suspending college purchases from the bakery for two months. A jury in the defamation trial awarded the bakery $11 million from Oberlin, and $33 million more in punitive damages. The $44 million probably will be reduced because, under Ohio law, punitive damages cannot exceed double the amount of compensatory damages. The combination of malice and mendacity precluded a free-speech defense, and the jury accepted the obvious: The college’s supposed adults were complicit in this protracted smear. Such complicity is a familiar phenomenon. As Stuart Taylor and K.C. Johnson demonstrated in their meticulous 2007 book “Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the

Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case,” Duke’s administration and a large swath of the faculty incited hysteria against a few young men accused of a rape that never happened. The University of Virginia’s administration similarly rushed to indignant judgment in response to a facially preposterous magazine story about another fictitious rape. The shoplifting incident occurred the day after the 2016 presidential election, which Oberlin’s president and dean of students partially blamed for students’ “pain and sadness” and “fears and concerns” during the “difficult few days” after the “events” at the bakery. From Oberlin’s despisers of Donald Trump, the events elicited lies and, in effect, cries of “fake news,” the brazenness of which the master in the White House might admire. Oberlin alumni who are exhorted to contribute to this college, which has been made stupid and mendacious by politics, should ponder where at least $22 million is going. Continuing to do what it denies ever doing — siding against the bakery — Oberlin, in impeccable progressive-speak, accuses the bakery of an “archaic chaseand-detain” policy regarding shoplifters and insists that “the guilt or innocence of the students is irrelevant” to the — of course — “root cause” of the protests against the bakery. Oberlin’s president defiantly says “none of this will sway us from our core values.” Those values — moral arrogance, ideology-induced prejudgments, indifference to evidence — are, to continue using the progressive patois, the root causes of Oberlin’s descent beyond caricature and into disgrace.

PELOSI AGAINST CENSURING TRUMP:
‘If the goods are there, you must impeach’ By Lindsey McPherson CQ-Roll Call (TNS)
WASHINGTON — Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday made her strongest comments on impeachment to date in rejecting an idea some House Democrats have floated to censure President Donald Trump. “No. I think censure is just a way out,” the California Democrat said at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast, when asked if she would support a censure resolution against Trump. “If you want to go, you have to go. In other words, if the goods are there, you must impeach.” Pelosi has always said Democrats will let the facts obtained during their investigations of Trump dictate whether impeachment is merited or not, but her statement noting “if the goods are there, you must impeach” is some of her strongest language yet on the matter. In rejecting the idea of censure, Pelosi basically said no action short of impeachment will be enough to punish Trump for his alleged misdeeds.
“Censure is nice but is not commensurate with the violations of the Constitution, should we decide that’s the way to go,” she said. “That’s a day at the beach for the president — or his golf club, wherever he goes.” So will Pelosi get on board with impeachment, and if so when? She provided an answer that left the outcome openended. “When we stop finding even more information,” she said. The “cover-up,” as Pelosi has referred to Trump’s stonewalling, runs deep, the speaker noted. “Every day we see more, so why would we stop with a less strong case?” she said. Pelosi also reiterated the importance of public sentiment and getting more of the American people on board with the idea of impeaching Trump before Democrats consider going down that path. The public support for impeachment needs to be so strong that “when the president, if the president is impeached,
that the Senate understands that they either honor the oath of office ... or the public will hold them accountable for not holding the president accountable,” she said. As for the continuously growing number of House Democrats calling for an impeachment inquiry, Pelosi said she respects every members’ opinions on timing but she doesn’t think an inquiry should be opened until they are prepared to see it through the expected conclusion. “I don’t think you should have an inquiry unless you’re ready to impeach,” she said. “I feel no pressure from my members to do anything,” Pelosi added. “And I have no pressure on them to do anything.” (c)2019 CQ-Roll Call, Inc., All Rights Reserved ALLEN J.

Trump remakes D.C.’s July Fourth celebration to include himself FUNERAL Justin Sink Bloomberg
President Donald Trump’s revamped Fourth of July celebration on the National Mall will include a presidential address from the Lincoln Memorial and a military display with plane flyovers and demonstrations by all five branches of the armed services. The annual fireworks display will also be relocated to a site near the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial, the Interior Department said in a statement on Wednesday. That will allow more people to gather closer to the site of the president’s speech but will create
new logistical challenges for the decades-old event that draws thousands of Americans to downtown Washington. Trump will be the first president to address the nation on Independence Day from the Mall in recent memory. “For the first time in many years, the World War II Memorial and areas around the Reflecting Pool will be open for the public to enjoy a stunning fireworks display and an address by our Commanderin-Chief,” the Interior Department said in the statement. “We are excited to open these new areas so that more visitors may experience this year’s In-
dependence Day celebration in our nation’s capital.” Trump sought to revamp the annual July 4 celebration after his plans for a military parade on Veteran’s Day were stymied by complaints about the cost. The president has been enamored of the idea of a Washington celebration with a military component since attending the 2017 Bastille Day parade in Paris, which included an aerial display, thousands of marching soldiers and hundreds of military vehicles. But the effort has drawn criticism from Trump’s political opponents, who say the president is recasting a tradi-
tionally nonpartisan national celebration to revolve around himself. And Washington’s mayor, Muriel Bowser, told the Washington Post that the president’s attendance and re-positioning of the fireworks could create security and logistical concerns. “If we have to put more police to cover his movements, more police for the fireworks and an additional location for police where the fireworks are going to get set off, that puts a strain on us,” Bowser said. It is unclear how much the changes will cost the federal and local governments. Trump criticized Washing-
ton officials when his initial plans for a military parade were derailed. Bowser responded by saying the event would have cost the city $21.6 million, and mocked Trump as “the reality star in the White House.” Trump plans to speak at the “Salute of America” event at the Lincoln Memorial at 6:30 p.m. The traditional “Capitol Fourth” concert on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol will take place from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., coinciding with a 20-minute firework display that will run from 9:07 p.m. to 9:27 p.m.
U.S. Navy says mine fragments point to Iran in tanker attack Megan Specia The New York Times News Service
Fragments recovered from one of two tankers crippled by explosions in the Gulf of Oman last week bear a “striking resemblance” to limpet mines that Iran has previously displayed, U.S. Navy officials told reporters Wednesday in the United Arab Emirates. A Navy commander also said during the briefing that fingerprints and other information recovered at the site of the explosions could be used to build a criminal case. The United States has blamed Iran for the attacks June 13, which targeted the Kokuka Courageous, a Japanese-operated vessel, and the Norwegianowned Front Altair. The Navy released grainy video last week that it said showed an Islamic Revolutionary Guard patrol boat pulling up to the Kokuka Courageous and removing an unexploded mine. Tehran has denied any in-
volvement. During the briefing in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, Navy officials displayed debris and a magnet that they said had been left behind after the attack on the Kokuka Courageous, according to Reuters. They also released a series of videos and images of one of the ships, including footage showing a hole in the hull of the Kokuka Courageous. “The limpet mine that was used in the attack is distinguishable and also strikingly bearing a resemblance to Iranian mines that have already been publicly displayed in Iranian military parades,” said Cmdr. Sean Kido, the head of an explosive ordnance disposal diving and salvage task group in the Naval Forces Central Command. Kido also emphasized that the blast that hit the Kokuka Courageous had not been from a flying object striking the ship, as the tanker’s operator said last week.
“The damage at the blast hole is consistent with a limpet mine attack; it is not consistent with an external flying object striking the ship,” he said, according to Reuters, adding that nail holes visible in the hull showed how the mine had been affixed to the ship. He said that authorities had recovered a hand print along with fingerprints at the attack site. The biometric information “can be used to build a criminal case to hold the individuals responsible accountable,” he said, but did not offer more details, according to The Associated Press. Tensions between Iran and the United States have heightened in recent weeks. On Monday, Tehran said it would breach within days an important marker of the 2015 international pact limiting its nuclear program if other signatories to the deal did not help ease sanctions that have damaged its economy. Later that day, Presi-
dent Donald Trump ordered an additional 1,000 troops to the Middle East. Trump pulled the United
States out of the 2015 deal last year and reintroduced punishing sanctions that have put the countries increasingly at odds.

Prattsville families taking care of each other By Abby and Gabby For Columbia-Greene Media
PRATTSVILLE — Eva Irwin is feeling better but it has been a cruel couple of months for her and her family. Her husband Don died early in the year, then she had bouts of pneumonia and the flu and her brother Dave Truesdell died recently. So the guests who stopped by last weekend were a welcome change, bringing joy and company. Scott and Alana Bemis from the capital area visited Eva. Grandson Adam, daughter Laurel’s son, from the Kingston area, made a call on Grandma Eva. Daughter Janie’s grand-
son Matt stopped by Greatgrandmother Eva’s for a lovely visit. Eva was presented with a shasta daisy plant to keep her spirits up. Daughter Laurel, a wonderful person and daughter, takes Eva to her doctor’s appointments and to have her hair done once a week. We wish Eva the best. Her family members are there for her. Sympathy to the family of Lula E. Oliver Soule of Ashland. Lula came from a family of nine, including our own Hank Oliver, growing up in Little West Kill. Lula had eight children, living for a number of years on Main Street in Lexington before moving to Ashland. Hank
said of the nine children in the Oliver family there are only three still living. Heard Prattsville has its own Golden Girls, who shall remain anonymous, and they have even concocted their own Golden Girls drink, whose recipe shall also remain a secret. Maybe we can bribe them with wine. Ty, Julee and Ursula Jaeger have returned to Conway, Arkansas. They were here for the funeral of Ty’s grandfather David Truesdell. Taking a good look at Ty, there is a lot of Dave in his facial features. And that is a good thing. Bob Gurley Jr. and Jen Traver played host to a fam-
ily gathering for Father’s Day and a late birthday dinner for patriarch Bob Sr. The younger Gurleys were: Rob and fiancée Tory, Devon, fiancée Rose and daughter Arabella, Nadine and fiancé Isaac, and Christina, and Javin Traver got to enjoy all the festivities. Mike Merwin was taken out to breakfast by his three sons on Father’s Day. Mike is a very good dad so maybe they could make it a monthly father’s breakfast. Carol Landers has returned from her visit to Massachusetts. We hope it was a mini vacation because Carol is one of those people who seems to take care of anyone in need — picking up things
at stores, taking them shopping or to appointments. Take a bow, Carol. She is really happy with her residency at The Mews. We wish the very best for Father Michael Cambi, Sacred Heart and St. Philip RC Church, Stamford and Grand Gorge. Prayers for him are greatly appreciated by Father and all his parishioners and those who know him. He and his crew of workers were a constant presence in Prattsville after the flood in 2011. If you would like, and he would really appreciate it, you can send cards to: Fr. Michael Cambi, 3 Rocco Drive, East Lyme, CT 06333. God bless Father Michael.
Happy birthday to Erin O’Hara Meyer and Ken Maurer on June 22. On June 23 we wish Pat Smith a very happy birthday. Beverly Hull Haskin is wished happy birthday on June 25. On June 26 we wish Emma Cornell and Johannes Krauss a happy birthday. June 27 we send happy birthday wishes to Billy Sutton. Scarlett Baker, you are sent you own very happy birthday wishes on June 28. And on June 28 Ginny Gurley are wished happy birthday. On June 27 we send happy anniversary greetings to Paul and Sharon Carr, Sandi Rion’s parents.
Cold and rainy May means ‘marshmallows’ in the fields By Lula Anderson For Columbia-Greene Media
A cold and rainy May means a barn full of hay. An old adage that the Tuttles and other local farmers can attest to this year. Look in the hay fields and you can see them lined with large “marshmallows” already. Everywhere you go, you can see the fields getting cut and raked. We’ve been lucky to have the required three rain-free days in a row to cut, dry and bale. Then more rain and the process repeats. Father’s Day, here and gone. School is starting half days only. Final exams, Regents, Moving Up Day, the countdown to graduation for the Class of 2019. I always prefer the word “commencement,” as it is the beginning of a whole new life. At this time of year, we unleash a brand new group of children into the world and, miraculously, they are turned into adults. Congratulations to all, and may you acquire the skills to run the world. I, as usual, feel I have bitten off more than I can chew. Fourth of July is fast approaching, and before I start my baking, I have to start moving my sale treasures from my house to the Ashland Church Hall. As anyone who is acquainted with me knows, I have a house full of things that others have donated to me for the church. It is time to get rid of it. Don’t forget our HUGE sale coming up July 12 and 13. We’re organizing the hall into sections: holiday, dishes, appliances, etc. We have amassed many clothes, some with tags still attached, vases, candleholders —you want it, we probably have it. I’ve made a promise to Judy that I WILL clean out my house. No better time to start than now. Anthony and Tricia LoPresti paid an early Father’s Day visit to Pops, John on Saturday.
First stop for Anthony was a visit to the creek to soothe his soul. After lunch with Grandma Rose and Uncle Ken Hudecek, they went to visit Roberta Banks’ mini horse and baby, then up to Bill and Barbara Mead for a look at the lake. Tricia remarked you’d have to be retired to live there as she didn’t want to leave. They went back feeling much more relaxed than when they came. The Freehold Church will be holding an Indoor Yard Sale 9 a.m.-3 p.m. June 22. Their bag sale will start at 2 p.m., $5/ bag. The sale will be at 3592 County Route 67. The family of Christine Cammer held a wonderful service to honor her passing. Good food and fellowship. Happy to see everyone, though on such a sad occasion. Good to see Mary Heissenger from Greenville, who used to live in Windham. As many pastors are on vacation, or moving, Jackie Kayata served in Roxbury this past Sunday and will be in High Hill and Athens next week. I will be in Margaretville. WAJPL Golden Age Club will have state Sen. George Amedore as guest speaker at the social meeting that will be held July 15. The meetings are held downstairs in the Windham Town Hall, Hensonville, and start at 1:30 p.m. Time flies when you’re having fun! We are in week seven of our Craft Classes with only three left for the year. Many masterpieces are on display at the Senior Hall. If you have my luggage tags and itinerary in your mailbox, don’t bother returning them as the trip is over. They were mailed last week and somehow didn’t make it to me. It would be nice to know what happened to them, though. Sorry to hear that Amanda Hoyt Graham lost her house
to a fire last week, along with three cats. The house was originally Barney VanEtten’s farm. On July 6, a memorial service for Maria Thompson will be held at the home of Wally’s nephew, Glen Thompson, 2 King Hill Road, Freehold. A short service will be held at noon, followed by a barbecue. All of Wally and Maria’s friends are cordially invited.
CARES AND PRAYERS First, the good news: Dr Dan Sullivan gives thanks to the prayers and well wishes, he is doing fine, with good blood counts. Prayers and condolences to the family of Lula Soule, who passed away Sunday morning. Healing prayers for Ted Heisinger and Ruth Alle Kelder. Lynn Lackovic had a slight accident and broke her wrist. Sympathy to the family of Elizabeth Toumey (Vera), also known as Mrs. Steve from the Mountin Top Golden Agers. Steve ran their trips for many years. Condolences to the family of Prentice Martin, son of Larry and Brenda Smith Martin, who passed. Prayers for Ann Hollmann, who passed this past week. Correction from last week: Greg Shamus, the brother of Angela Schwartz passed away, not Jason.
COMING EVENTS June 28 Windham Hensonville UMC Rummage Sale 4-7 p.m. June 29 Rummage Sale (Bag Sale) 9 a.m.-noon Windham UMC.

AS I REMEMBER IT While writing about the radio shows from the past, Clarence Soule reminded me that I forgot the most important show of the day for farmers. “CHANTACLEER,” which was hosted by Charles John Stevenson on WGY-8.10 on your dial. The show opened with a rooster crowing and gave gardening tips, when and how to plant, as well as the market quotes for the day. It advised you when to harvest, and when to sell your crops. Daily and long range weather reports were avidly listened to. Do you remember the radio in the barn that kept us up to date with farm happenings? When I was asked by Betty Hapeman to write more stories on Lexington and West Kill, she had Pat Jackson loan me some old newspaper clippings to go over. I found two wedding announcements from 1885 that I found to be very interesting. They not only announced the marriage, but described the entire wedding. Though Wednesday, Dec. 9, was a rainy, disagreeable day, the marriage of Mr. Angelo Kirk and Miss Anna Fowler was solemnized at the residence of the bride’s mother by the Rev. Wm Green of Prattsville. It goes on to describe the wedding outfit (glove fitting, navy blue silk, trimmed in white silk,) and the gifts, which included a dozen silver teaspoons, a silver napkin ring and a silver cake basket. I hoped to find where the groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, were from, but to no avail. Another wedding reception was held for Frank H. Petit of Lexington and Hattie Swan of Kingston. The guests were served a bountiful meal consisting of turkey, several kinds of vegetables, hot biscuits and several varieties of cake, oys-
ters, ice cream, fruit, etc. Gifts included a set of silver knives and forks, a chamber suite, a beautiful set of solid teaspoons and a $20 gold piece. This was a very large wedding as the gifts and donors con-
tinue for two columns. How lucky and appreciative these newly wed couples were. Now we dread going to weddings as no one wants gifts anymore, just cold, hard cash. And not $20.

Broadway’s Elizabeth Ward Land to star in ‘Sunset Boulevard’ at the Mac-Haydn CHATHAM — The MacHaydn Theatre presents Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Sunset Boulevard,” running June 20 through June 30. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award-winning, aweinspiring masterwork comes to the Mac-Haydn stage to dazzle audiences. Based on the hit 1950 film, this stunning score brings the tragic Norma Desmond to life as she stages her comeback. With the help of down-and-out screenwriter Joe Gillis, the stage is set for romance, jealousy, mystery and tragedy. With hit songs like “With One Look” and “As if We Never Said Goodbye,” “Sunset Boulevard” is ready for its closeup. Broadway’s Elizabeth Ward Land makes her Mac-Haydn debut in the iconic role of Norma Desmond. Her Broadway credits include “Amazing Grace,” “Scandalous,” “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” “Memphis,” “City of Angels” and “Passion.” James Zannelli makes his Mac-Haydn debut as Max Von Mayerling. Zannelli was featured on the 25th anniversary touring production of “Les Miserables” as the Bishop of Digne,

and his regional credits include “Ragtime” (Tateh, Gallery Players), “Les Miserables” (Javert, Phoenix Theatre) and “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (Frollo, White Plains PAC). Returning to the Mac for his third season, Pat Moran takes on the role of Joe Gillis. Moran has been featured in previous Mac-Haydn productions such as “Cabaret” (Emcee), “Chicago” (Billy Flynn) and “Into the
Woods” (Cinderella’s Prince). Rachel Pantazis continues her debut season at the MacHaydn as Betty Schaefer. Previous roles include Ulla in “The Producers” (Seacoast Repertory Theatre), Vicki in “The Full Monty” (Patrick Dorow Productions), 2018 Home for the Holidays tour (Interlakes Theatre), Missy in “The Marvelous Wonderettes” (Seacoast Repertory Theatre), Vi in “The Buddy
Holly Story” (Hackmatack Playhouse), and “June in Musical of Musicals the Musical” (Little Church Theater). “Sunset Boulevard” is directed by John Saunders, choreographed by Ashley DeLane Burger, and music directed by David Maglione, with costume design by Jimm Halliday, props by Joshua Gallagher, sound design by Corbin White and scenic design by Erin Kiernan.
Pen Award-winning author Mitch Horowitz to host ‘Food for Thought’ program at Hancock Shaker Village HANCOCK, Mass. — Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of Occult America, hosts Hancock Shaker Village’s next installment of its popular “Food for Thought” series on Friday, June 28 at 6 p.m. Participants enjoy an elegant farm-to-table meal and conversation with the author. Tickets are $100 ($90 members) and include dinner, wine and a copy of the book. Advance registration is required. To reserve by June 25, visit hancockshakervillage. org or call (413) 443-0188.
From its earliest days, America served as an arena for the revolutions in alternative spirituality that eventually swept the globe. In Occult America, Horowitz opens a new window on the past, presenting a dramatic, pioneering look at the genesis of mysticism and its profound impact on American culture, politics, and religion. He takes a slightly offcenter look at American history through the lens of those who believed, prayed, practiced and lived a little differently—includ-
ing Mother Ann Lee and the Shakers. Mitch Horowitz is a writer-inresidence at the New York Public Library, a lecturer-in-residence at the University of Philosophical Research in Los Angeles, and the PEN Award-winning author of books including “Occult America,” “One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life,” “Mind as Builder”and “The Miracle Club: How Thoughts Become Reality.” He has written on everything from the war on witches to
the secret life of Ronald Reagan for The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Salon, Time.com, and Politico. Horowitz is the voice of popular audio books including “Alcoholics Anonymous” and “The Jefferson Bible.” He has discussed alternative spirituality on CBS Sunday Morning, Dateline NBC, NPR’s “All Things Considered” and throughout the national media. Sponsored by October Mountain Financial Advisors.
Will Kempe’s Players opens Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream June 21st in Troy’s Prospect Park TROY — Will Kempe’s Players, the workers’ cooperative touring theater company from Troy, kicks off its summer touring season with William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The production will open on June 21, the Summer Solstice (“Midsummer Night”) at 8 p.m. and will play there on June 22 and 23, both at 3 p.m. Subsequent summer performances are scheduled regionwide. Please check www.willkempesplayers.com for specific per-
formance locations, dates and times. Will Kempe’s Players’ musical director Kristoph DiMaria assumes the director’s mantle as well for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. DiMaria composed original tunes and accompanies the play with a live soundscape from the foley table. His vision for the play is grounded in the ancient lore of faeries and sprites. As embodiments of natural forces, their conflicts— and their meddling in human affairs—threaten all life on the
good green earth. If, and only if, the faerie royalty Oberon and Titania can reconcile, will the season sweeten to summer—saving earth, saving love and saving humanity. Productions are set within a neutral scenic background and adaptable to indoor and outdoor locations. The productions use technology of the Renaissance—natural lighting illuminating performance and audience equally; live, acoustic music and sound effects; and elegant, evocative costumes.
Again, as in the Renaissance, performances take place within a surrounding audience, enabling audience to participate in the creation of unique theatrical events. Please consult www.willkempesplayers.com or the Will Kempe’s Players Facebook page for the most up-to-date performance information about the company, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and the summer/fall productions of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” and John Patrick Shanley’s “Doubt.”
Excellent cast can’t resurrect ‘Dead’ By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media
“The Dead Don’t Die” is not just a misfire. It’s an amazing misfire, which means watching a superb cast reduce itself to grade-D level for the sake of a familiar, shopworn plot. The actors don’t even look like they’re having the time of their lives in a campy fright flick because you can’t laugh at something made totally without camp. People who can appreciate, in a perverse way, a hip but terminally boring attempt to make an instant cult classic might find some reward in this strange, jaw-dropping movie. The director is Jim Jarmusch, whose recent movies have been bad (with the exception of the ruminative “Paterson”) but not as wildly bad as “The Dead Don’t Die.” His exploration of modern vampirism, “Only Lovers Left Alive,” boasted a handsome production, two fine stars in Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton and a stunning final shot, but was done in

petitive plot. “Dead” isn’t made cynically, but it isn’t made with commercial interests in mind, either. It just sits there, making attempts at art that it can’t achieve and, to make matters worse, you come out of the theater asking what Bill Murray, Adam Driver and Chloe Sevigny (all Jarmusch favorites) are doing here. Murray and Driver have a notable entrance. Murray is the police chief of Centerville, “A Real Nice Place,” according to the welcome sign, and Driver is his first officer. As the movie
car, chatting about coffee and donuts, when Murray notices that it isn’t dark even though it’s past 9 p.m., and both men’s watches have stopped. Meanwhile, dogs, cats and livestock are mysteriously disappearing. Over the course of this 101-minute movie, we learn that a phenomenon called “polar fracking” has shifted the tilt of the Earth, causing day and night to slide into each other and, more gratuitously, revive the corpses of the dead, who shuffle around and eat people. If George A. Romero were around, he would
Murray, Driver and Sevigny, the third officer in an understaffed Centerville police force, wrestle with how to stop the menace, but the town is gradually overrun by the zombies. They get help from the local funeral home director (Swinton) who speaks with a Scottish burr and is deadly with a samurai sword. Who knew that smalltown morticians are training in Japanese martial arts? Well, you learn something every day. At this point, you figure the plot is going to thicken, that some explanations will be offered. But guess what? It doesn’t happen. Before the movie is over, it will throw in a nonsensical sci-fi fantasy scene and Driver will repeat the line, “This isn’t going to end well,” 14 times. How he knows this provides the movie’s biggest howler. The direction and the performances lack energy and intensity, and the movie isn’t scary or funny. Jarmusch’s heart isn’t in the splatter the zombie genre demands. It’s as if the undead have devoured his skills.
CALENDAR LISTINGS TSL Movies June 20 - June 26 n The Serengeti Rules — One of the most important but untold science stories of our time. Beginning in the 1960s, a small band of young scientists headed out into the wilderness, driven by an insatiable curiosity about how nature works. Immersed in some of the most remote and spectacular places on Earth – from the majestic Serengeti to the Amazon jungle; from the Arctic Ocean to Pacific tide pools – they discovered a single set of rules that govern all life. Now in the twilight of their eminent careers, these five unsung heroes of modern ecology share the stories of their adventures, reveal how their pioneering work flipped our view of nature on its head, and give us a chance to reimagine the world as it could and should be. 2019. 1h24m. n Pasolini — Directed by Abel Ferrara. Starring Willem Dafoe as Italian poet and film director Pier Paolo Pasolini. The film follows Pasolini as he works on his controversial classic, Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom and chronicles his brutal murder on the beach in Ostia in 1975. Facing persecution from the public, politicians, censors, and critics, he visits with his beloved mother and friends, including actress Laura Betti (played by Maria de Madeiros) and continues his work on an ambitious new novel and screenplay, all the while cruising in his Alfa Romeo for adventure and connections with beautiful younger males in the dark streets of Rome. In English, Italian, French with subtitles. 2014. 1h24m. n Too Late to Die Young — During the summer of 1990 in Chile, a small group of families lives in an isolated community right below the Andes, building a new world away from the urban excesses, with the emerging freedom that followed the recent end of the dictatorship. In this time of change and reckoning,16-year-old Sofía and Lucas, and 10-year-old Clara, neighbors in this dry land, struggle with parents, first loves, and fears as they prepare a big party for New Year’s Eve. They may live far from the dangers of the city, but not from those of nature. In Spanish with subtitles. 2019. 1h50m. n Non-Fiction — Juliette Binoche and Guillame Canet reunite with acclaimed director Olivier Assayas (Personal Shopper, Carlos) for this wry, slyly seductive tale of sex, lies, and literature. Set amid the bohemian intelligentsia of the Parisian publishing world, Non-Fiction traces the romantic and emotional fallout that results when a controversial writer (Vincent Macaigne) begins blurring the line between fact and fiction, using his real-life love affairs – including a passionate fling with an actress (Binoche) who happens to be married to his editor (Canet) – as fodder for his explosive new novel. Balancing dry wit with keen observations on the tensions between art, commerce, and technology, Non-Fiction is a buoyant, breezy delight from a master director at his most effortlessly brilliant. In French with subtitles. 2019. 1h46m. n Van Gogh & Japan: Exhibition on Screen — Presented by Exhibition on Screen. One cannot understand Van Gogh without understanding how Japanese art arrived in Paris in the middle of the 19th century and the profound impact it had on artists like Monet, Degas and, above all, Van Gogh. He visited the new galleries of Japanese art in Paris and created his own image of Japan through in-depth research, print collecting, and detailed discussions with other artists. In this little known story of Van Gogh’s art we see just how important his study of Japan was. The film travels not only to France and the Netherlands but also to Japan to further explore the remarkable heritage that so affected Van Gogh and made him the artist we know of today. 2019. 1h25m. n Closly Watched Trains — Directed by Jirí Menzel. At a village railway station in occupied Czechoslovakia, a bumbling dispatcher’s apprentice longs to liberate himself from his virginity. Oblivious to the war and the resistance that surrounds him, this young man embarks on a journey of sexual awakening and self-discovery, encountering a universe of frustration, eroticism, and adventure within his sleepy backwater depot. Wry and tender, this Academy Award™-winner is a masterpiece of human observation and one of the best-loved films of the Czech New Wave. B/W. In Czech with subtitles. 1966. 1h33m. n Amazing Grace — Recorded live in 1972 at Reverend James Cleveland’s church in Watts, California in front of a lively congregation, Amazing Grace would become the highest selling album of Aretha Franklin’s career and the most popular Gospel album of all time. However, the film was never released
publicly. Forty-seven years later, this documentary is a testimony to the greatness of Aretha Franklin and a time machine window into a moment in American musical and social history. 2018. 1h27m. n The Wandering Soap Opera — Filmed by Chilean master Raúl Ruiz in 1990 but left unfinished until it was completed by his wife and collaborator Valeria Sarmiento in 2017. A dreamily interconnected series of vignettes that spoof on telenovela conventions while reflecting Ruiz’s feelings upon returning to his native Chile after more than 15 years away. In one episode, a man seduces a woman by showing her his muscles, which are actually slabs of raw meat slapped into her hand. Later, the man has a gun pulled on him when he accuses a poet of plagiarism. Meanwhile, through the television screen, five women have lost their husbands after an earthquake and embrace a better future together. In Spanish with subtitles. 1990/2017. 1h18m. n The Proposal — Known as “the artist among architects,” Luis Barragán is among the world’s most celebrated architects of the 20th century. Upon his death in 1988, much of his work was locked away in a Swiss bunker, hidden from the world’s view. In an attempt to resurrect Barragán’s life and art, boundary redefining artist Jill Magid creates a daring proposition that becomes a fascinating artwork in itself – a high-wire act of negotiation that explores how far an artist will go to democratize access to art. 2018. 1h23m. n Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché — Narrated by Jodie Foster, this documentary, about the first female filmmaker, Alice Guy-Blaché, explores the heights of fame and financial success she achieved before she was shut out from the very industry she helped create. Over the span of her career, she wrote, produced, or directed 1,000 films, including 150 with synchronized sound during the “silent” era. Her work includes comedies, westerns, and dramas, as well as films with groundbreaking subject matter such as child abuse, immigration, Planned Parenthood, and female empowerment. She also etched a place in history by making the earliest known surviving narrative film with an all-black cast. 2018. 1h43m.

HUDSON — It’s OK to Dream rallied from a one-run deficit with four runs in the fourth inning and three more in the sixth and went on to post a 10-5 victory over SK Brown to win the Columbia-Greene Little

Coach K says Barrett could be a star in New York Stefan Bondy New York Daily News
Before Mike Krzyzewski analyzed RJ Barrett’s potential fit with the Knicks, the legendary Duke coach offered some caution. Apparently, other teams are very fond of Barrett. Maybe even enough to trade up. “I’ve talked to the Knicks about RJ,” Coach K said Tuesday on his SiriusXM show. “And who knows with all the — some of these guys are really coveted by other teams, so they can throw packages up there for the Knicks.” It was a timely comment as news broke that the Knicks had scheduled a Wednesday workout with Darius Garland, a sign they were at least preparing for the possibility of trading down from their

Duke Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski (right) talks to forward R.J. Barrett (5) during a Dec. 2018 game against the Hartford Hawks Cameron Indoor Stadium.
third pick in the draft. Barrett is widely considered a top-3
prospect, but the Knicks also scheduled meetings with
other players — including Garland, Cam Reddish and Jarrett Culver — who are slotted in the 4-to-10 range. Garland’s workout, which a source confirmed, is occurring just a day before the draft. The Hawks have reportedly been trying to package the eighth and 10th picks in the draft, and the Pelicans could also dangle their fourth overall pick to maneuver up or down. But assuming the Knicks remain in their spot and Barrett is available, he’s the likely choice. The 19-year-old could be the first Duke player drafted by the Knicks in the first round since Art Heyman in 1963 (first overall). Heyman See BARRETT B2
Stanton’s return only adds to Yankees’ power trip David Lennon Newsday
Did the Yankees miss Giancarlo Stanton? That depends. He seems well-liked by his teammates, and they are paying him $26 million to play baseball this season. The former MVP also is one of the game’s most intimidating power hitters, so he’s a nice bat to have on your side. But did you ever watch the Yankees in his absence thinking, man, if only they had Stanton in the lineup? Probably not. It’s not a knock on him. More a credit to what the Yankees were able to do during his 10-week stay on the injured list. And with Aaron Judge sitting out two of those months as well. At the time of Stanton’s Tuesday return, the AL East-leading Yankees already were 17 games over .500 (44-27) and had enjoyed at least a share of first place for 28 of the previous 30 days. Not a bad run so far, with a roster pieced together by Brian Cashman’s resourcefulness and piloted by a more savvy Aaron Boone in his second year at the helm. Could the Backup Bombers have continued this pace minus Stanton and Judge, or without the trade for Encarnacion? Cashman didn’t want to find out. Eventually, fairy tales have an expiration date, and the Yankees don’t do the Cinderella thing. Starting Tuesday, Stanton brings what he always does, home runs and strikeouts. Later this week, Judge will do the same. During a season

where baseballs are jumping, it only stands to reason these two could inflict more destruction, as even minimal contact, made by players this strong, should result in an uptick in
homers. And Encarnacion is now on board to further rattle opposing pitchers. “We were already dangerous and now it’s another icing to the cake,” Stanton said. “We
got to build this together. Once we’re all on full force, it’s going to be a lot of fun.” It’s not like the Yankees were suffering all that much from an offensive standpoint. Before Tuesday, they had been averaging 5.38 runs, which ranked fifth in the majors, and were hitting 1.59 homers per game — well above this year’s wildly-inflated MLB rate of 1.35 (it was 1.15 a year ago). There is one area, however, that the Yankees have particularly thrived in. As of Tuesday, their .281 batting average was second in the majors — second only to the Rockies (.294). The Yankees finished 12th in that category last season, hitting .253. The winter signing of DJ LeMahieu has provided a big boost, as he entered Tuesday night batting an MLB-best .459 (28-for-61) in those situations. That positive trend won’t necessarily end with the returns of more all-or-nothing bats like Stanton and Judge, but they certainly don’t profile as pure-contact hitters. Their game is punishingly-hard contact, which has its advantages, too. But with all this renewed longball conversation, an interesting item in the Yankees’ pregame notes caught our attention Tuesday. These are info packages provided by the team’s own PR staff, and this one pointed out how the Yankees had homered in 20 consecutive games — the second-longest streak in franchise history (the record is 25, from 1941).

took the lead with a single tally in the home half of the frame when Liam Walter walked, went to second and third on wild pitches and scored on Mason Jornov’s base hit. SK Brown held on to a 4-3 edge until the fourth when the Dream Team surged ahead with a four-run outburst. Darren Weaver started the inning with an infield single, took second on a passed ball and scored on Mason Briscoe’s single. Sheldon tripled home the second run of the inning, then scored on a base hit by Simmons. An outfield error allowed Simmons to make it to third, followed by a sacrifice fly to center by Amarion Perry to make it a 7-4 game. SK Brown closed the gap to 7-5 in the bottom of the fourth when Tyler Jornov singled, Schmitz walked and Mason Brown reached on a fielder’s choice to load the bases with nobody out. Jornov eventually scored on a passed ball, but

On top of that, the note mentioned how the streak was put together “despite Encarnacion, Judge and Stanton combining to play in only one game” during it. The one game, of course, was Monday’s debut by Encarnacion, who went 0-for-3 in the Yankees’ 3-0 victory over the Rays. Another intriguing stat: the Yankees were 25-3 when hitting at least two homers in a game, second in the majors to the Astros (30-3). Stanton and Judge should pump up those numbers a bit, while providing a trickle-down benefit to the rest of the lineup. But it’s not like the Yankees have been begging for help. Stanton could see that from his rehab posts in Tampa and Scranton. “Just having great at-bats,”

was a disappointment with the Knicks because of, among other things, his poor temperament. Barrett, on the other hand, has been lauded for his maturity and ability to handle the spotlight. The Canadian international, whose parents both attended St. John’s, has pushed for the Knicks and rejected a workout with the Grizzlies, who own the second pick. “R.J. will flourish here in New York. He wants to be here. He is so mature,” Krzyzewski said. “He just turned 19 last Friday, but he’s been a part of the Canadian basketball program since (he was) a little guy, always played up.” Barrett’s weaknesses reside in his sporadic jumper, bouts of apathetic defense and cases of tunnel vision. But physically he’s an elite wing who is gifted with the ball and versatile, a prototype for the modern NBA so long as the shot improves.

Stanton said. “Making it tough on these pitchers. They’re throwing everything at them — openers, all different types of things — and we’re just wearing them down and making them make big decisions and mistakes. That’s what happens when you wear pitchers down. They make mistakes. They get tired. And that’s what we’ve been doing (to them).” We expect the Yankees to continue to do that. Some early rust for Stanton and Judge is inevitable after such long layoffs, but this pinstriped machine will motor on, in a more explosive, bulldozing style that we haven’t seen in a while. “We have guys who can do damage,” Aaron Boone said. “We feel we’ve assembled a group that’s very good at getting on base and slugging. That’s a recipe for a lot of runs.” Presumably more with Stanton. He’s No. 27, in case you forgot. Krzyzewski, who has coached a top-3 pick in the last five drafts, envisions a future star. “He would start right away. He has the potential to be a double-double guy,” said the coach, who was in New York on Tuesday for the SiriusXM show. “He’s a great defensive rebounder, and if he gets the defensive rebound he can push, and he can play 1-through-4. Because he can pass too. As he grows, there’ll be times in this kid’s career where the tripledouble will happen more than once. He’s a star. There’s no question. Beautiful, beautiful kid.” Krzyzewski also referenced Barrett’s relationship with Zion Williamson as an indicator of humility. Barrett was a star his entire life but ceded the spotlight to Williamson at Duke. “What says a lot about him is his relationship with Zion,” Krzyzewski said. “You know, the two of them could (have been) very jealous of one another, envious. (Instead) they became brothers. Literally. They love one another.”

Brody Adickes pitched the first 4 1/3 innings for SK Brown, striking out 10, walking two and surrendering seven runs and seven hits. Schmitz finished up, allowing three runs and four hits with three strikeouts.

USA’s Naeher is the strong but silent type Kevin Baxter Los Angeles Times
DEAUVILLE, France — The U.S. team in this Women’s World Cup is full of strong personalities. There’s Megan Rapinoe, the outspoken activist who took a knee before a game in support of Colin Kaepernick. Alex Morgan, the girl next door who was on the cover of Sports Illustrated and Time magazines in the same week. And Carli Lloyd, the two-time world player of the year who wears grudges the way some of her teammates wear headbands. Then there’s Alyssa Naeher, the goalkeeper. Since taking over for Hope Solo following the 2016 Olympics, she’s lost just three of 43 games, posting 25 shutouts, including back-toback ones in the World Cup. Yet she remains as elusive as a Russian spy. “I think Alyssa Naeher doesn’t want anybody to learn
about Alyssa Naeher,” Lloyd said. Forward Mallory Pugh, sitting nearby, nodded. “That’s true,” she said. Naeher, 31, has certainly had a quiet World Cup, with opponents taking just three shots in two games, only two of them on target. The U.S. has already qualified for the round of 16 and Naeher hasn’t even broken a sweat. With the U.S. possessing the ball for more than 70% of the time in their first two games, Naeher could have left the field to get a sandwich and no one would have noticed. She made history just the same, becoming the third player since 1992 to start at least two Women’s World Cup games in goal for the U.S. after Solo and Briana Scurry. So what’s she like? “She does crosswords,” Lloyd offered helpfully, adding that Naeher sits with her in the

back of the team bus. “She’s quiet but when you get her one-on-one she really opens up and she’s smart, she’s funny, she’s witty. On the training pitch she’s head down, focused, wanting to do her job. Loves getting repetition. Sometimes when we have a little bit of
time at the end of training sessions, we’ve got shots coming, we’ve got crosses coming, we’ve got PKs being taken. And she’s the lone goalkeeper in net just wanting to literally try to save every single shot.” A former high school basketball star in Connecticut, Naeher
waited years for her chance with the senior national team. She won a U20 World Cup — and was also named best keeper in the tournament — in 2008 and was called into camp with the senior team for the first time in 2010. She mostly served as Solo’s caddie while making the 2015 World Cup team but never played. It wasn’t until Solo was suspended following the Rio Olympics that she got the chance to play regularly. Asked how she got through that long apprenticeship, Naeher said he had to turn to others for support. “Lean on your teammates. Lean on your family. Just focus on what you want,” she said. “For me it was showing up every day and controlling all the things that I could control. And that was being a good teammate. “That looks different for everybody at times.”
PAYING TRIBUTE While the U.S. team was training Tuesday, a group of friends and family members visited Omaha Beach and the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Collevillesur-Mer. There the group met with Steve Melnikoff, a 99-yearold World War II veteran who stormed Omaha Beach on June 7, 1944, the day after the initial invasion. The U.S. delegation, along with Melnikoff, laid a floral arrangement in the shape of a soccer ball at a memorial inside the cemetery grounds and placed multicolored roses at headstones through the cemetery. Melnikoff, who fought with C Company, 175th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, was wounded twice in France, shot once in the upper chest and later injured by shrapnel from an artillery shell. He returned to combat both times.

‘He Hate Me’ was lost, then he was found Scott Fowler The Charlotte Observer
They found “He Hate Me” on Tuesday, toward the end of a very strange day in which a former Carolina Panthers player who few people had thought much about for a dozen years suddenly became a lead news story nationwide. But even after he was located, safe and alive, questions remained as to where Rod “He Hate Me” Smart had been. And why his family couldn’t reach him for six days. And who exactly had found him. And how lost he really was. It started when the Lancaster (S.C.) County Sheriff’s Office issued a missing persons advisory Tuesday morning for a 42-year-old man named Torrold Smart, which turned out to be the real first name of Rod Smart. Smart had last been seen on June 12, at approximately 10:30 a.m. in Indian Land, S.C. That’s just south of Charlotte’s Ballantyne area. “Mr. Smart is driving his silver 2016 Nissan Maxima with NC tag PJR1759,” the release read. “It is unusual for him to be out of touch for this long. Mr. Smart’s family is worried about his safety and wellbeing.” The Herald of Rock Hill broke the story first, at about noon, and then came the media blitz. Smart’s name and speculation about his situation was bandied about on just about all the national sports and news outlets, from ESPN to Sports Illustrated to TMZ. Everyone used the nickname when describing Smart, of course. “He Hate Me” was Smart’s greatest gift to football — a moniker so memorable it was nearly impossible to forget once you heard it. While playing in the short-lived
play-by-play man at the time, Bill Rosinski, ended his call of the touchdown with: “He Hate Me? We love you!” ESPN loved that, and replayed it again and again. One note not many people remember about that kickoff return: on the Panthers’ ensuing kickoff to the Saints, Smart ran down and made the tackle. It was a truly remarkable sequence. Wallace kept in occasional touch with Smart over the past decade. The former defensive end said he had seen Smart at some NFL alumni events over the years and not too long ago at a Charlotte Hornets game. Wallace also said Smart had long pursued a goal of becoming an actor. “He wanted to take that personality and that smile to Hollywood,” Wallace said. “That was a dream of his. For a long time, he was on the audition trail.” Smart’s biography on the internet movie database doesn’t show much success, however. Smart is listed with a single appearance outside of those relating to football, in a little-seen 2010 movie called “Don’t Blame the Lettuce.” “Rod could always take a dress code right up to the edge, that’s for sure,” Wallace said. In this one, though, maybe one day soon we will get Smart holding a news conference with whoever located him, throwing an arm around the guy and proclaiming, “You know who this is? This is ‘He Found Me’!” (Or “She Found Me,” as the case may be). Hopefully that happens, and hopefully whatever needs to happen first for Smart also occurs. His family and friends are concerned, although it’s not exactly clear about what.

JEFF SINER/CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
Carolina Panthers special team’s players Rod Smart, front, and Jarrod Cooper ham it up for the media during media day at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas on January 27, 2004.
XFL in 2001, Smart had the words “He Hate Me” plastered on the back of his jersey instead of his surname. The XFL encouraged such things. He was that league’s second-leading rusher that year, so he became one of the XFL’s stars. Once that league folded, the Panthers picked Smart up in 2002. He was a popular figure for the team, especially during the 2003 season that led to the team’s first Super Bowl appearance. Al Wallace, a teammate of Smart’s with the Panthers, said in an interview Tuesday before Smart was located that the former running back remained one of the indelible figures of that Super Bowl run. “Rod has always been one of the biggest personalities in any room he enters,” Wallace said. “He’s hilarious and full of energy, and as a player he was blazing fast. He was one of the few guys who could break Coach (John) Fox down, literally in tears of laughter, with the things he would do and say. When I think of that Super Bowl team he’s still one of the guys that stands out
to me.” I asked Smart once, long ago, how he came up with “He Hate Me.” He laughed and said: “I’m a genius.” The “He” in question could apply to anyone, Smart explained — a coach who wouldn’t play him, a personnel man who wouldn’t draft him, a tackler who couldn’t catch him. It was a nickname that was universal in its appeal — even if you don’t think of yourself as a hated person, certainly you’ve been disrespected. As Smart told us reporters once: “Football is very political at the pro level. And because I came in (to every training camp he went to) as the last back, if I didn’t get a carry, I’d talk to the other running backs and say, ‘He hate me, man. This coach hate me.’ I was always saying that.” In fact, no one in the Panthers locker room actually hated Smart. He was charismatic and quick-witted and a valuable special-teamer. When he returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown against New Orleans in 2003, the Panthers’

Interesting Facts Golf is played all over the globe. Golf is one of the world’s oldest sports, boasting a rich history. Golf is a sport of skill, that can involve not only athletic prowess, but also brain power. Here are some interesting facts about the game. � To this date, golf is only one of two games to be played on the moon. The other is a javelin throw. � Long before the advent of tees, golfers played off of hand-built sand piles. � In 1889, Ab Smith inadvertently coined the phrase “birdie,” when he hit a shot he defined as a “bird of a shot.”
� Making a hole-in-one during a round of golf is quite a challenge. However, the odds of making two are incredibly low, at one in 64 million. � Only around 20 percent of golfers have a handicap below 18. The United States Golf Teachers Federation defines handicap as “a measure of a player’s current ability over an entire round of golf, signified by a number. The lower the number, the better the golfer is.”

Daughter feels mom favors brother with baby My mother has always had a horrible habit of making plans and canceling at the last minute. When I make plans with her, she invariably cancels the day of. Lately she has started making me feel guilty for not coming around more. I lost my license two years ago, so I can’t drive, and I work DEAR ABBY full time. She has no job and several vehicles. I’m not saying she doesn’t have things going on, but I can’t help but feel she’s just going through the motions and making it seem like she cares. My younger brother had a baby girl last year, and Mom constantly has her or is trying to get her. To top it off, my brother lives in the same town I do. It makes me feel invisible. I know when parents say they don’t have a favorite child, they are lying through their teeth, but this is blatant. I’m in my 30s and shouldn’t still be feeling like this. Please help. I feel like my parents would be better off with one less child to make fake plans with. Invisible In Ohio
since high school. He recently confided that for the last few years of his marriage he has been involved in an on-again, off-again affair. He also told me that for most of his marriage his wife has been putting him down, blaming him for all their problems, constantly accusing him of cheating (they have been married far longer than the affair has been going on) and not letting him see his friends. Abby, I have witnessed some of her behavior myself, and it explains why he seemed to drop off the earth after he signed his marriage certificate. I don’t know how to help him. He has tried to get his wife to agree to marriage counseling, but she refuses. He has young children, and he’s afraid that if he tries to divorce her, she’ll make sure he never sees them again. She has spent years wearing him down and won. He’s no longer the outgoing, happy person I used to know. He was always ready to help anyone who needed him, and I want to return the favor. How? Supportive Friend In Vermont
Whether your brother is the favored child, I can’t opine. However, it makes no sense that your mother would guilt you for not seeing her more often and then stand you up when you try. Because you feel slighted, TELL HER how hurtful it is. If the situation doesn’t improve, plan fewer visits with her and concentrate on spending your time with people who do make you feel appreciated and loved.
Suggest to your friend that because his wife refuses to go to marriage counseling does not mean he shouldn’t go for individual counseling without her. If he does, it may be life-changing for him in a positive way because he may be able to reconnect with the person he was before he entered his emotionally abusive marriage. I can’t promise his future will be problem-free after that, but he will be stronger and more able to cope with whatever his wife (or ex-wife) throws his way.

I have been friends with a guy, “Derrick,”
Consistent control is the benchmark for BP drugs Short of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, why hasn’t the Food and Drug Administration approved sildenafil in a set dosage for blood pressure medication? I saw a decrease from 150/90 to 115/70 in a reading about an hour after taking a 20-mg tablet. That’s a far superior result compared with the medications I am on. TO YOUR
GOOD HEALTH
Sildenafil (Viagra) does have a blood-pressure-lowering effect in many men. However, the average effect is only about 8 points systolic and 6 points diastolic, far less than the 35 and 15 point drop you saw. Further, the blood pressure effect is gone in less than 8 hours. The goal for blood pressure medicine is continuous lowering without big ups and downs. I’m not a big believer in conspiracy theories. If the medication were truly safe and effective for blood pressure control, you can be sure it would be marketed as a blood pressure pill with additional benefits for some people, just as tadalafil (Cialis) is marketed as a treatment for benign prostate enlargement, in addition to its proven role in treating erectile dysfunction. Tadalafil is also being studied as a potential benefit in heart failure treatment.

my surprise, the area that had the steroid on it had no redness or pain. Are topical steroids effective sunblocks? If so, why don’t we use them? High-potency steroids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs. Although they do not prevent the damage done to the skin by the sun, they do prevent the inflammatory reaction that shows up as redness and warmth on the skin. That reaction appears for hours or days after sun damage, depending on the degree of the sun exposure and the individual’s protective skin pigment. Broad-spectrum sunscreens do partially protect a person’s DNA against the sun. In addition to avoiding excess sun by staying out of it, especially during the most dangerous time of the day, other strategies to reduce risk of sun damage and skin cancer include wearing sun-protective clothing and the regular, repeated and liberal use of UVA and UVB sunscreens. High-potency topical steroids are not proven to and probably don’t reduce the risk of skin cancer. More importantly, they have far too many side effects to use on a large area of the body. I don’t recommend steroids in prevention nor treatment of sunburn.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are a positive, light, lofty, dreamlike individual who inspires admiration at all times from all manner of other people. Despite this, however, you know full well that you are simply human, with plenty of foibles and faults to claim alongside all of your abilities and strengths of character. You are, indeed, a mixed bag — but you combine the good and the bad in such equal measure that they are able to balance each other out, and you are able to present yourself in whatever light you choose. You are, at times, almost too strong for your own good, and you will occasionally commit yourself so unquestionably to something that is not good for you that the quest itself becomes dangerous. This is something you must recognize quickly. Also born on this date are: Nicole Kidman, actress; Lionel Richie, singer and songwriter; John Goodman, actor; Brian Wilson, singer; Grace Potter, singer; Audie Murphy, actor; Anne Murray, singer; Danny Aiello, actor; Errol Flynn, actor. To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. FRIDAY, JUNE 21 CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You enjoy remembering a past success, but you mustn’t let that keep you from embarking on something new today. The odds are with you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You receive news today that allows you to put into place a missing puzzle piece — and that, in turn, allows you to move forward confidently. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You have several skills that should come in very handy today — if you choose to step out of your comfort zone and
address a challenge. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may be working harder to maintain contact with someone else than he or she is with you — but your reason for doing so is far more compelling. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may feel that you are very far right now from where you intended to be. You can improve things by joining forces with a friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You’ve been considering someone’s offer of cooperation, but you suspect the other party has an ulterior motive. Investigate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — A period of stillness and quiet is welcome to you today, but it’s not likely to last long. You must be ready to swing into action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — The direct route to your destination may expose you to certain dangers you’re not ready to face. A roundabout approach is more advisable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — The more you can face a harsh reality today, the better prepared you will be for what comes tomorrow and the next day. Stand your ground. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Why wait until tomorrow to complete something you begin today? Stay on the job, and don’t be tempted to quit until success is yours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can get something for nothing today. Everything is likely to cost you; can you afford it? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’ll want to go back over all you’ve done in recent days to be sure you haven’t missed something that can slow your progress today.
