HUNTER — A Greene County lawyer has been ordered disbarred following a ruling by state Supreme Court, appellate division, of the Third Judicial Department. David Leonard Rabin, of Hunter, was accused by the Attorney Grievance Committee of the Third Judicial Department, a disciplinary panel, of providing a falsified judgment containing the forged signature of a Supreme Court judge to a client in a judgment enforcement action in August 2018, according to court papers.

Rabin’s misrepresentation caused his client to hire another attorney to enforce that judgment at further cost but with no chance of success, according to court papers. Rabin failed to respond to the Attorney Grievance Committee’s account of events, which it filed in October 2018, according to court papers. “We have also taken note of [Rabin’s] failure to meaningfully comply with his obligations during these proceedings, demonstrating his contempt for the disciplinary process,” according to the decision reached by Third Department Presiding Justice Elizabeth

A. Garry and appellate justices Robert Mulvey, Eugene Devine, Sharon Aarons and Stan Pritzker. Rabin could not be reached for comment Monday. In their opinion, the justices wrote that they have a duty to protect the public from misconduct by attorneys who pledge to uphold the law. “Based on the facts and circumstances of this case, and in order to protect the public, maintain the honor and integrity of the profession and deter others from committing similar misconduct, we find that [Rabin] should be disbarred from the practice

of law in this state,” the justices wrote. Legislator Larry Gardner, D-Hunter, who works as an attorney in Windham, has had limited experience with Rabin, he said. “I had a couple of transactions with him over a number of years,” Gardner said. Former Greene County Public Defender Greg Lubow, of Tannersville, was shocked to hear the news, he said, having known Rabin for more than 20 years. Citing “a history of contempt for See ATTORNEY A6

HUDSON — A three-week-old kitten is on the mend after he was found stuck in tar and covered in the thick, gooey substance underneath a dumpster on Route 385 in Athens on Thursday. It took construction workers who found the stray 10-ounce male kitten more than an hour to free him. His legs were stuck in the gravel and tar. He couldn’t move, only cry. Once the workers freed him, they brought the kitten to AnimalKind at 721 Warren St. in Hudson. AnimalKind staff said the kitten had a 50-50 chance of survival, but Monday it was on its way to a full recovery. “If the tar had been absorbed into the skin, he would have probably died within less than 12 hours,” shelter manager Sarah Mellin said. Staff at AnimalKind immediately went to work. Three people worked for hours to get the tar off by bathing and cleaning. Using Dawn dish soap, mineral oil and a toothbrush, they took turns gently scrubbing the tar off. Workers ended up shaving only a little fur off the kitten, Mellin said. Not is much is known about where the kitten came from. AnimalKind staff said they think it is likely the kitten got stuck under the dumpster because he instinctively returned to the place where he was born. “We bathed him and did as much as we could,” Mellin said. “We gave him a break for the night and bottle-fed him. I wanted to say 95 percent of the tar was washed off. We did a little bit here and there so that it doesn’t stress him out.” The staff aptly named the kitten Lucky after he survived through the first night of his ordeal. Lucky on Monday got a foster home that he shares with his new best friend, a five-month old boxer-husky mix. Mellin said she fostering the kitten. It’s believed that whatever happened to Lucky was an accident. AnimalKind staff thinks the kitten wandered onto the driveway that was being tarred and got stuck. “He is doing really well,” she said. “They are best friends. My dog’s paw is See KITTEN A6

Erin’s Law awaits governor’s signature By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

ALBANY — After years of going back and forth on the issue, both houses of the state Legislature have passed Erin’s Law, a bill that requires kindergarten through eighth grade to provide children and faculty with training on identifying child sexual abuse and how to report it. The bill is next headed to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s desk for review. Erin’s Law, named after Illinois victim’s advocate Erin Merryn, was passed by the

state Senate several times — most recently on June 3 by unanimous vote — but had been held up in the Assembly’s Education Committee. When the bill made it out of committee and onto the Assembly floor, it was passed on the final day of the legislative session by a vote of 123-1. New Baltimore children’s advocate Gary Greenberg, who was the catalyst behind the passage of the Child Victims Act earlier this year, joined forces with Merryn and others to push for passage of Erin’s Law.

“I am thrilled with the Child Victims Act and now Erin’s Law passing,” Greenberg said. “These important pieces of legislation will protect the children of New York.” If signed by the governor, Erin’s Law requires schools to provide faculty and children in kindergarten through eighth grade with one hour of age-appropriate training each school year to identify inappropriate touching, and how to report it to a parent, teacher, police or other person in authority.

The New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced Monday that he is imposing new sanctions on Iran, after saying for days that he preferred tightening the pressure on a crippled Iranian economy to launching an immediate military strike in retaliation for what U.S. officials have said are recent aggressive acts by Tehran. “We will continue to increase pressure on Tehran,” Trump said as he sat at his desk in the Oval Office preparing to sign an executive order. “Never can Iran have a nuclear weapon.” He added that the order will bar Iranian leaders from access to financial instruments. The administration did not immediately elaborate. The Trump administration already moved this spring to cut off all revenues from Iranian oil exports, the lifeblood of the nation’s economy, and the new sanctions are expected to be aimed at shutting down additional sources of income with the goal of forcing political change in Tehran. Trump and his top foreign policy aides are gambling that continuing the squeeze on Iran will compel its leaders to buckle to demands to limit their nuclear program in ways that go beyond the landmark agreement that major world powers forged with Iran in 2015 — and that Trump withdrew from last year. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who met with the rulers of Saudi Arabia on a last-minute trip Monday, also insists that Iran must curb its regional military activity and end support for partner Arab militias. The imposition of more sanctions could provoke further actions by Iran to add to the crisis that has unfolded since early May in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, analysts say. U.S. officials have blamed Iran for two separate sets of explosions on six oil tankers

GABRIELLA DEMCZUK/THE NEW YORK TIMES

President Donald Trump, joined by Vice President Mike Pence, signs an executive order imposing more sanctions on Iran inside the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, on June 24, 2019. ‚“We will continue to increase pressure on Tehran,‚“ Trump said as he sat at his desk preparing to sign an order. ‚“Never can Iran have a nuclear weapon.”

around the Strait of Hormuz, saying Iran is trying to show its capabilities and increase global oil prices in retaliation for the administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign. Iranian officials have denied responsibility. Last week, the Iranian military shot down a U.S. drone, although the two nations debate whether the drone was in Iranian territory or over international waters. The downing of the drone prompted Trump to order a missile strike on Iranian military sites Thursday, but he pulled back at the last minute after hours of debate, and instead opted to launch a cyberattack. The most prominent Iran hawks in the administration, Pompeo and John Bolton, the national security adviser, had pushed for the missile strikes. Pompeo also advocated in the White House Situation Room on Thursday for continuing sanctions and seeing whether Iran would capitulate to demands as the policy of

cutting off all oil revenues, announced in late April, takes full effect. Iranian leaders say the Trump administration is waging economic warfare on their nation, and analysts say the sanctions campaign, which has been done with no substantial diplomatic outreach, strengthens the standing of hard-line officials in Tehran who argue for taking retaliatory measures. The Trump administration has imposed more than 1,000 specific sanctions on Iran since the withdrawal from the nuclear agreement in May 2018, according to the State Department. Some advocates of a hardline approach to Iran have said Trump should double down on sanctions and not be baited into doing a military strike, which could backfire by generating support among ordinary Iranians for the anti-American policies of officials in Tehran, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader. “Now is not the time for mili-

tary action,” Mark Dubowitz, chief executive of Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said on Twitter on Saturday. “Intensify the economic and political pressure. Make clear supreme leader is supreme obstacle to a better future for Iranians.” On Monday, Pompeo met at a palace in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, with King Salman, then had lunch with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whom the administration has supported despite his suspected role in the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi and in overseeing an air war that has killed civilians in Yemen. Pompeo said on Twitter that he had talked with the king about “heightened tensions in the region and the need to promote maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.” Saudi officials said an attack by a drone operated by the Houthi rebels of Yemen killed at least one person and injured seven others Sunday.

MCALLEN, Texas — The bodies of what appeared to be a migrant woman in her 20s and three children — two infants and a toddler — were found Sunday night near the edge of the Rio Grande outside the South Texas city of McAllen, authorities said. Migrant deaths happen with grim regularity along parts of the United States’ southwestern border, largely when adults and unaccompanied teenagers succumb to harsh desert conditions or a lack of water and die of dehydration, heat stroke or hypothermia. The discovery Sunday was unusual — it is rare for officials to discover dead migrant children on the U.S. side of the border and rarer still for the bodies of three children to be found together. “Most of the time we usually find either adults or teenagers, but this is the first time we’ve actually found infants and toddlers, and it is pretty shocking for us,” said Hidalgo County Sheriff J.E. Guerra, who broke the news of the discovery on Twitter late Sunday night. Officials said there were as yet no signs of foul play and that the four may have died from dehydration and heat exposure. The bodies appeared to be those of immigrants in the country illegally, but neither their identities nor their country of origin had been determined Monday.

Migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras have crossed the border by the thousands in recent months, overwhelming Border Patrol agents, nonprofit groups and local officials. The four bodies were found by Border Patrol agents across the river from Reynosa, Mexico, in an area on the U.S. side of the border that is heavily traveled by Central American families. They were in a brush-covered region southeast of Anzalduas Park in the Las Palomas Wildlife Management Area. The FBI was leading the investigation because the bodies were found on federal land. “It’s an incredibly heartbreaking situation, which seems to happen far too often,” Special Agent Michelle Lee, a spokeswoman for the FBI in San Antonio, said in a statement. Early Monday morning, Anzalduas Park was quiet. The only noises were chirping birds and a slight ripple from the river, aside from the occasional Border Patrol truck or county constable vehicle driving by. The park — a 96-acre recreation area with picnic tables, playgrounds and a boat dock that is about 6 miles from downtown McAllen — has been a popular backdrop for visiting officials from Washington. President Donald Trump passed through earlier this year during his only visit to the Texas-Mexico border as president. The area near the park along

the Rio Grande has been a migrant-crossing hub in Hidalgo County. Migrant families with children cross the river here in small or large groups on makeshift rafts and then walk inland in search of Border Patrol agents so they can turn themselves in. Migrant deaths are more common far north of the river’s edge, on private ranchland deeper into South Texas. In those areas, water is harder to find, the terrain is more isolated and expansive, and migrants often hike for days ill-prepared for the journey. It was unclear what went wrong for the woman and children whose bodies were found: whether they had gotten lost in the brush in the heat, whether they were already ill when they crossed the river, whether they were abandoned by smugglers or other migrants. Guerra said they were found in a makeshift staging area, a clearing near the river where groups of migrants often gather after they cross the river. From there, they typically walk deeper into the countryside to look for federal agents. South Texas is always hot in June, but the heat has been ex-

treme in recent days. On Monday, the National Weather Service issued a “dangerous” heat advisory for the Rio Grande Valley region of South Texas, which includes McAllen. “Heat-related illnesses will likely occur for anyone working or playing outdoors for extended periods of time today,” the advisory said. Over the last week in the valley, temperatures have regularly approached or exceeded 100 degrees. On Wednesday, the temperature hit 108 degrees.

We recognize the success of the senior center and the joy it brings to local seniors daily. Connected and engaged seniors such as the ones who attend the Hudson Senior Center are part of our mission… engaged seniors equal safe seniors. THE OWL AWARD (OLDER WISER LOVING LIFE & SAFE) We celebrate active seniors who don’t let age stand in the way of their continuous contribution the com-

munity. This year we are proud to honor Elizaville residents and area historians Paul and Dolores Weaver who work hard at their own expense to preserve local Lake Charlotte and Taghkanic basket history. Thanks to Joe Gatti of the Livingston History Barn and the Taghkanic town historians for nominating the Weavers! Our young dancers honored the Weavers with dances from the year 1913 which was an important year in Taghkanic Basket History. In addition to the elder hotline, George’s Justice also provides training to bar associations, civic organizations, law firms, corporations and law enforcement on identifying and working with senior victims. Salensky is a frequent guest on WRIP FM.

George’s Justice’s partnership with the Hudson Valley Academy of Performing Arts provides free access for local seniors to events such as the Nutcracker and special events that bring seniors and youth together. The volunteer driven organization speaks to senior groups throughout the Columbia County on an ongoing basis. To date, the organization is the first in New York State to provide and connect seniors with pro bono legal services in connection with phone, internet and financial scams. Based in Columbia County, the organization serves local seniors in Columbia, Greene and Dutchess, Ulster and Schoharie counties via the George’s Justice hotline: 518-751-0207.

OUR VIEW

Fresh idea for an old jail Pending adoption of a state law that would allow counties to share jails and what would likely be a surprise decision by the Greene County Legislature to forestall demolition of the old jail in Catskill, a new jail will be built in Coxsackie and the space occupied by the former jail will become a parking lot. A group of investors, led by Cassidy Bua, of Catskill, wife of installation artist Matt Bua, wants to buy the old Bridge Street jail and transform it into a criminal justice museum. Deputy Greene County Administrator Warren Hart has said at several Legislature meetings the property is not for

sale — at least, not now. If the old jail can be acquired, Wayne Sheridan, a backer of the proposal, hopes to bring in the Catholic Worker Movement to provide a safe space for recovering addicts, the homeless and people in need of transitional housing. Sheridan also supports the idea of a museum. “It would be dedicated to law enforcement and could date back to the 17th century,” he said. “It would be a great tourist attraction.” This type of museum is not unheard of, Sheridan added, pointing out that Hudson has a museum dedicated to firefighting. Since the former jail is

condemned, it’s now a fixer, so the investors — and it would be helpful to know who they are — will need a lot of capital to buy the building and restore it. Having the investors step forward and introduce themselves might spark more interest. We hope Bua’s group and Greene County officials including administrators and lawmakers can work out a plan to preserve what is left of the old jail. A museum coupled with a safe space for recovering addicts is a worthwhile idea. We think it would be a fitting testament to the goals of justice in a new era.

ANOTHER VIEW

Hackers are taking cities hostage, and some cities are paying ransom to the criminals. That needs to change. Ransomware attacks on municipalities are on the rise. Last year, it was Atlanta, which spent $2.6 million to recover rather than pay the demanded $51,000. Before that, it was suburbs of Dallas and of Birmingham, Alabama, and localities in North Carolina and New Mexico. Last month, hackers crippled Baltimore, which is still working to restore its systems without paying the $100,000 or so the hackers demand. And then there are places that decide to pay, such as the Florida town that decided to fork over a whopping $600,000 to the bad guys last week, desperate to deparalyze its computer systems and restore essential services to its residents. The numbers may seem to make the case for giving hackers what they want. But that’s the

point of ransomware: It is designed to convince victims that complying is cheaper and easier than the alternative. The argument for refusing to put taxpayer money into malicious actors’ coffers is stronger. Morally, taxpayer money should not be used to reward criminal enterprises. Practically, if cities collectively stop providing that reward, hackers may pack up their keyboards. Every dollar or, more accurately, every bitcoin - that cities turn over to cybercriminals encourages them to continue attacking, and it also gives them the resources to do so more effectively and more often. There is a way to break the cycle: pass a federal law barring ransomware payments. Along with such a prohibition, funds should be devoted to helping cities and states become more secure in the first place, focusing especially on the need to have backups of critical data. Then the Department of Homeland Secu-

rity could set up a digital ghostbusters task force to help municipalities come back online after an attack. Those that had implemented adequate defenses could get aid from the feds in footing the bill. Those who surrender to hackers would face fines sufficiently larger than the ransom. Those facing punishment might protest that resisting the criminals is too costly in money, time offline and information lost forever. But the money is an investment in preventing more attacks across the country, and it takes substantial time, too, to pay a ransom and reboot an entire government. As for the information, the threat of losing it should be an incentive to governments to get moving on backup systems. An anti-ransom law would be a dramatic step, but it’s the route to a dramatically positive result.

When it was revealed that Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s medical school yearbook page contained a picture of someone in blackface and someone dressed as a Klansman — never a good situation — many politicians, journalists and political insiders thought he was done for. While Northam, a Democrat, is not the most popular governor in America, he remains in office. That’s because the people who had every right to be outraged weren’t all that outraged. Politico reported as the time: “In a Quinnipiac University poll, 42 percent of voters say Northam should resign - but more, 48 percent, say he shouldn’t. White voters are split evenly — 46 percent say he should resign, and the same percentage say he shouldn’t — but a majority of black voters, 56 percent, say Northam should not quit.” Fast-forward to June. Former Vice President Joe Biden is not in Northam’s category of racial insensitivity. There is no comparison between the two. However, as the Biden story played out over a couple of days, it seemed that Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., who got himself booked on every cable TV show he could find, was the person in the country most outraged by Biden harking back to a time when there was “civility” with segregationist lawmakers. One after another, prominent African American leaders (e.g., Reps. John Lewis of Georgia and James Clyburn of South Carolina) defended Biden. Lewis, arguably the most revered African American civil rights figure alive, stated, “I don’t think the remarks are offensive. During the height of the civil rights movement, we worked with people and got to know people that were members of the Klan — people who opposed us, even people who beat us and arrested us and jailed us.” He continued, “We never gave up on our fellow human beings, and I will not give up on any human being.” Clyburn was even-handed in chiding Biden’s phrasing but recounted working with Biden

and said he knew what was in Biden’s heart. White Democrats including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California (“Joe Biden is authentic”), Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois and Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California also came to his defense. In news coverage immediately after the flap, there were African Americans who expressed anger, but many others did not. They reiterated that what he said was wrong, but suggested they wouldn’t change what they thought of Biden. This is the second recent instance in which Biden fumbled, the first being his defense and then renunciation of the Hyde Amendment. Polling after that incident didn’t show a drop-off among female voters. What can we learn from this? First, in everyday life, loved ones say stupid and hurtful things. Feelings may be bruised and angry words exchanged, but it does not fundamentally alter relationships with close relatives and friends. That’s true of voters, who look upon Biden as a friend, even a member of their political family. He is not a tabula rasa; ordinary voters not looking for controversy allow sloppy, stray remarks to go by. Second, it may be that establishment politicians, both African American and white, are more sympathetic to someone roughly their contemporary, a peer whom they’ve known for decades. It could be that a younger generation — including Booker — is turned off by Biden. It may be one of many reasons Biden does much better with older voters. Third, we may be in a post-gaffe era. We’ve regrettably gotten used to the president saying ridiculous, cruel and racist things. The country largely tunes him out, as he has defined political rhetoric down. Perhaps voters just don’t pay attention to stupid things politicians say as much as they used to, or maybe there is so much news that a gaffe is old news before most people have heard of it. A snippet on the news of Biden saying something is different from

Biden, for example, making a huge gaffe during a debate when millions of viewers see and hear for themselves. What a politicians does in voters’ presence may matter much more than a secondhand account of what he said. Biden’s willingness to stay at the Clyburn fish fry Friday night working the rope line until the last stragglers were gone may wind up making a much bigger impression on those voters (and the people they talk to) than his tale of working with segregationists. Finally, we should have learned by now that when voters feel a close bond to a politician, confirmation bias becomes powerful and rationalization becomes easy. “I like Joe Biden, so I know this wasn’t evidence of racial insensitivity” would be a common reaction. However, if all that an African American voter knows about South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg is the rough time he has dealing with the African American community in the wake of police incidents, then Buttigieg, fairly or not, may never get considered seriously. In sum, just as reporters kept waiting for the gaffe or the horrible debate that would do in Trump in 2016, they may be misguided in waiting for the gaffe that will finish off Biden. Perhaps for the better, most ordinary voters consider the whole person without a scorecard counting up demerits. That doesn’t mean voters won’t decide that the cumulative weight of Biden’s antiquated perspective and his backward orientation to the Obama years make him undesirable as a nominee. Recent experience, however, may suggest that the Biden gaffes are already “baked in” to voters’ assessment. They like him; they’ll support him even if he says dumb things — just like Grandma Sue with foot-inmouth tendencies or Uncle Joe, who repeats the same family stories over and over again. After a while, all you can say is, that’s Uncle Joe for you. Jennifer Rubin writes reported opinion for The Washington Post.

The billionaire owners of Purdue Pharma LP must face a New York lawsuit claiming they triggered the U.S. opioid epidemic, a judge ruled, handing an early victory to states and local governments seeking to recoup billions of dollars in social costs from the drugs. A state judge on Friday denied the Sacklers’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit, filed by a group of New York cities and counties, saying the court may have jurisdiction over the family “on the ground that some or all of them acted as Purdue’s agents in perpetrating the alleged scheme.” The ruling, in Suffolk County on Long Island, is the first by any court denying a motion by the Sacklers to dismiss a suit filed by a state or county and allowing for discovery to proceed against the individual defendants and their trusts, said Paul Napoli, an attorney representing the New York governments. A representative of the Sacklers didn’t immediate-

ly respond to an email seeking comment on the ruling. Supreme Court Justice Jerry Garguilo also denied the family’s bid to throw out the case because it was filed too late, saying the plaintiffs have “alleged a continuing wrong, perpetrated by all the defendants, involving deceptive marketing practices that began over a decade ago and that have continued up to the time of the commencement of this action.” State and local governments have targeted the Sackler family’s wealth to recover the social costs of opioid addiction, such as payments for prescriptions for employees and Medicaid benefits that wouldn’t have been approved if the risks had been known. Thousands of suits against opioid makers have been consolidated in federal court in Ohio, and other cases are pending in state courts. The New York case is In Re Opioid Litigation, Index No. 40000/2017, Supreme Court of New York, Suffolk County.

By David G. Savage Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday struck down part of a 1980sera crime law that adds longer prison terms for offenders who carried a gun during a “crime of violence,” with Justice Neil M. Gorsuch speaking for the court and Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh in dissent. The court by a 5-4 vote ruled for two Dallas men who were convicted of robbing several convenience stores and then were given an extra 25 years in prison for carrying a sawed-off shotgun during the crime. The dispute highlights a sharp difference between President Donald Trump’s two appointees. Gorsuch is a libertarian who is skeptical of the government, and Kavanaugh is a more traditional lawand-order conservative. Gorsuch, speaking for the court, said the justices should not uphold “vague” laws that do not “give ordinary people fair warning about what the law demands of them.” Maurice Davis and Andre Glover were convicted of robberies. In addition, they were charged with a “conspiracy” to carry a gun during an act that “by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force will be used.” That conviction added 25 years to their terms, for a total of 41 for Glover and 50 for Davis. But Gorsuch, joined by the court’s four liberals, said law regarding a “crime of violence” was unconstitutionally

vague. “Vague statutes threaten to hand responsibility for defining crimes to relatively unaccountable police, prosecutors and judges, eroding the people’s ability to oversee the creation of the law they are expected to abide,” Gorusch wrote in United States vs. Davis. Kavanaugh, in dissent, called the ruling “a serious mistake” and said it would “likely mean that thousands of inmates who committed violent gun crime will be released far earlier than Congress specified.” He said the federal crime

laws of the 1980s “contributed to the decline of violent crime in America. ... Yet today, after 33 years and tens of thousands of federal prosecutions, the court suddenly finds a key provision of (one law) to be unconstitutional because it is supposedly too vague. That is a surprising conclusion.” The justices also disagreed on what would happen next. Gorsuch said prosecutors could focus on specific crimes when seeking extra prison terms. And he said Congress could pass more specific laws. Kavanaugh said the ruling could permit thousands of violent criminals to seek

Supreme Court says law imposing extra prison time for ‘crimes of violence’ is too vague

E. Jean Carroll, a New Yorkbased writer who has accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her more than two decades ago, voiced frustration Monday that Trump has not faced consequences from a string of previous allegations of misconduct. “With all the women it’s the same: He denies it, he turns it around, he attacks and he threatens - and then everybody forgets it until the next woman comes along,” Carroll said during an interview on CNN. “I am sick of it. I am sick of it.” Carroll, a longtime advice columnist for Elle magazine, is among 16 women who have publicly accused Trump of sexual misconduct over the past several decades. Most spoke out just weeks before the 2016 election, after The Washington Post published a recording of Trump bragging during a 2005 “Access Hollywood” interview that his celebrity gave him permission to grab women by their genitals. Trump has denied the allegations of misconduct and called the women “liars.” In a statement released Friday night, Trump said the encounter described by Carroll never happened and that he did not know her. In his statement, Trump asked that anyone who has information that Carroll or the magazine were working with the Democratic Party to come forward. Carroll denied politics played any role in her decision to come forward. “I’m barely political. I can’t name you the candidates who are running right now,” she told CNN. “I’m not organized . . . . I’m just fed up.” “I can’t believe that he’s in the White House, and it makes me sick,” she said. “What else can I do but just tell my story?” Carroll, a registered Democrat, told The Post in an interview Friday that she voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. She donated $1,000 this cycle to Emily’s List, which supports female candidates who back abortion rights, and $500 to President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign in 2012, according to

campaign finance records. On Twitter, she has posted several sharp remarks about Trump and retweets of satirical and critical articles about him. Carroll has alleged that the assault took place more than 20 years ago in a dressing room of an upscale Manhattan department store. She detailed the alleged encounter in a book excerpt published Friday in New York magazine. In The Post interview, Carroll repeated the allegations, saying that during a chance encounter with the then-real estate developer at Bergdorf Goodman in late 1995 or early 1996, Trump attacked her in a dressing room. She said he knocked her head against a wall, pulled down her tights and briefly penetrated her before she pushed him off and ran out. During the CNN interview, Carroll said she would be open to working with the New York Police Department in a criminal

investigation into the attack. “I would consider it,” she said, adding that her lawyers have advised her that the statute of limitations deadline has expired for bringing such a complaint. Carroll said she plans to continue speaking out about the alleged assault by Trump. “We have to hold him accountable - not only him, but a lot of guys,” she said.

Drug companies are focusing on the poor after decades of ignoring them Donald G. McNeil Jr. The New York Times News Service

Twenty years ago, thousands of Africans died of AIDS each day as pharmaceutical companies looked on, murmuring sympathy but claiming that they could not afford to cut the prices of their $15,000-a-year HIV drugs. It’s hard to imagine such a nightmare unfolding today. Vast changes have swept the drug industry over the last two decades. Powerful medicines once available only in rich countries are distributed in the most remote regions of the globe, saving millions of lives each year. Nearly 20 million Africans are now on HIV treatment — for less than $100 a year. Top-quality drugs for malaria, tuberculosis, hepatitis C and some cancers are now sold at rock-bottom prices in poor countries. Once demonized as immoral profiteers, many of the world’s biggest 20 pharmaceutical companies now boast about how they help poor countries and fight neglected diseases. They compete on the Access to Medicine Index, which scores their charitable efforts. Several of them even cooperate with the Indian generics companies they once dismissed as “pirates” by sublicensing patents so the generics makers can produce cheap drugs for Africa, Asia and Latin America. But there is still opportunity for growth. Most of the industry’s remarkable progress is limited to a few companies, and their efforts are too reliant on donor dollars, according to a report issued last month by the Access to Medicine Foundation, which publishes the index, and interviews with experts. As people live longer in the developing world, deaths from cancer,

the disciplinary process,” the committee said Rabin was previously suspended from

diabetes and heart problems are rising. Drug companies have not been as quick to provide treatments for chronic conditions. “The situation is still fragile,” Jayasree K. Iyer, executive director of the foundation. “A retreat by one company, or a drop in health care investments, will jeopardize the progress made so far.” The index now ranks the biggest 20 American, European and Japanese companies on their efforts to distribute medications to the world’s poor. GSK, the former GlaxoSmithKline, has won every time, and its score has steadily risen. The companies in the next few spots vary, but Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Sanofi and Merck KGaA, based in Germany, have had consistently high rankings. The four Japanese drugmakers started at the bottom, but Takeda recently rose to No. 5 and Eisai to No. 8. The Access to Medicine Foundation recently published a look back at what had changed since it was founded in 2005 by Wim Leereveld, a Dutch former information consultant to the industry. Several experts likened the industry’s transformation to the recovery of an addict who has hit bottom. The nadir, in this case, was the drugmakers’ response to AIDS in Africa. In 1998, with 250,000 of its citizens dying of AIDS each year, South Africa’s Parliament legalized the suspension of drug patents so the government could import generic drugs. Almost immediately, 39 drug companies sued to overturn the law, naming the country’s beloved president, Nelson Mandela, in their suit. Following international condemnation, the suit was dropped in 2001. “I was horrified,” said Dr. Tadataka

practicing law from 1998 to 2000 for mismanagement of law firm bank accounts, according to court papers. The grievance committee was at the same time seeking Rabin’s suspension for failing to comply with its investigation into other allegations

Yamada, who worked at GlaxoSmithKline. “In those days, they went from being one of the most respected industries in the world to one ranked just above tobacco companies.” Yamada eventually became one of the central figures in the industry’s transformation. He served as president of global health at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and then as chief medical officer for Takeda, helping it rise in the Access to Medicine rankings. There were other important inflection points, experts said. One was the about-face by the Clinton administration in 1999. After Vice President Al Gore was pressured by AIDS activists during his presidential campaign, the administration decided to support South Africa’s efforts. Another turning point came in 2001, when Cipla, an Indian company, offered HIV drugs to Doctors Without Borders for $350 per patient per year. The offer revealed the huge markups the brand-name drugmakers had been profiting from, and introduced the Indian pharmaceutical industry as a rival. “Cipla was a driver for change,” said David Reddy, chief executive of the Medicines for Malaria Venture, one of many public-private partnerships created to guide industry research. The George W. Bush administration founded or supported the agencies that became the biggest buyers of generics: the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief; the President’s Malaria Initiative; and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The World Health Organization began certifying which drugs were safe, a boon for countries too poor to run their own regulatory agencies. And

in 2008, Leereveld began issuing his score card. At first, he said, advocacy groups “hated me because I was going to say nuanced things” about the drug industry, which they despised. Worse, the companies ignored his requests for data. A trade group, the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations, persuaded its members to stonewall him. He proceeded anyway with information from public sources. Raising money was a separate struggle. With some backing from the Dutch government, Leereveld flew to Seattle to appeal to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. “They said ‘no’ so fast that I flew back without even a second cup of coffee,” he said. Then the tide turned. Before publication of the first rankings, he let all 20 companies know how they would be portrayed. “Eight of them said some of our answers were wrong, so they broke the ban and participated,” he said. “Two years later, all 20 responded.” Gates Foundation leaders also changed their minds. “We gave them $1.5 million in July 2009, and we’ve been providing funding ever since,” said Hannah E. Kettler, senior program officer for the foundation’s Life Sciences Partnerships. “It’s a valuable tool for setting goal posts for the industry.” Other events prodding the industry, said Eduardo Pisani, a former director-general of the trade group IFPMA, included the 2011 U.N. summit meeting on noncommunicable diseases and the 2012 London Declaration on neglected tropical diseases, which set goals for eliminating those threats. ‘Think about the business

opportunities’ Today, companies use three paths to get their drugs to the poor: They cut prices, donate medicines, or sublicense patents to generic companies. More than 400 drugs now are sold at low prices. The companies more often donate drugs sold for veterinary care in the West that can also be used to kill parasites in humans. Sub-licensing is now used for about 30 HIV and hepatitis C drugs. Comparatively few Western customers pay high prices, but developing countries need millions of doses. Recently, said Yo Takatsuki, head of ethical investing research for Britain’s Axa Investment Managers, drug companies have begun seeing a new motive for a distribution of their products in poor countries: future profits. As markets in the West age and populations stabilize, companies like AstraZeneca and Sanofi now get almost a third of their revenues from developing countries, Takatsuki said. “As investors,” he said, “we ask companies to think about the business opportunities in emerging markets, instead of seeing them as feel-good, money-losing philanthropy.” Leereveld, who said he was “very happy, very proud” of the effects of his index, went on to found others ranking mining companies on their environmentalism and seed companies on getting their product to small farmers. Iyer, his successor, feels progress has just begun. “Two billion people still don’t have access,” she said. “And in the first five years after a launch, new products reach less than 10% of those who need them in developed countries, and less than 1% in poor ones. That’s underperforming both as a business and in social impact.”

Law From A1

All state lawmakers representing the Twin Counties voted for the law. “By requiring the instruction of curriculum on the prevention of child sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse in grades kindergarten through eight, Erin’s Law will help empower students by providing the tools to better protect themselves against predators,” said state Sen. Daphne Jordan, R-43. She called it a “bipartisan goal.” Greenberg said the legislation would have a positive impact on generations of children. “These are two historic bills that passed this year for victims and to protect kids today and for future generations,” Greenberg said, alluding to Erin’s Law and the Child Victims

Act, which expanded the statute of limitations on child sexual abuse. “A lot of people didn’t think we could do it, so it’s a great achievement to see years and years of grassroots lobbying pay off with these two bills being passed.” If Cuomo signs the bill, New York would become the 37th state to adopt Erin’s Law. Greenberg said that after holding discussions with representatives from the governor’s office, the signs were good. “I anticipate the governor will sign it,” Greenberg said. The bill is named after Erin Merryn of Illinois, a childhood sexual assault survivor, author, speaker and activist, according to erinslaw.org. Merryn has been advocating for Erin’s Law in New York for seven years. It was first passed in Merryn’s home state in 2009, and has since been adopted in 36 states. “New York legislators

finally did right by the children of New York by passing Erin’s Law after seven years of the bill dying in the Assembly,” Merryn said of her namesake. “I have spent the past seven years spending thousands of hours on the phone and sending emails to legislators and reporters, dozens of media interviews trying to pass Erin’s Law in New York. The children of New York will finally have a voice and be armed with the ability to speak up and tell if they have been abused because of this education they will receive once a year under Erin’s Law.” Several celebrities have also thrown their support behind the law, including television stars Julianna Margulies and Mariska Hargitay. “The passage of Erin’s Law sends a message to every sexual predator in New York, and that is you will not get away with silencing children,” Merryn said.

Hudson graduate Tomaso enters ENLA Hall of Fame Columbia-Greene Media

The Empire North Lacrosse Association (ENLA) welcomed three new members, including 1962 Hudson High School graduate Marco Tomaso, into its Hall of Fame during the organization’s banquet held at the Shaker Ridge Country Club. The ENLA is the successor organization to the Adirondack Chapter of US Lacrosse, following US Lacrosse’s move away from regional chapters. With 57 years of lacrosse experience, Marco has had an extensive career within the sport and athletics. He played collegiate level lacrosse, and in 1966 received his Bachelors of Science degree in Physical Education, from SUNY Cortland. From there he would have a long term career in athletics at Colonie Central High School. For 34 years Marco served as a Physical Education teacher, and later Department Coordinator and Faculty Manager of Athletics for Colonie High School. During that time, he also coached Wrestling, a program which has continued today to be successful within Section 2 and throughout NYS.

In 1980, he founded the Lacrosse program at Colonie and was Head Coach of the boys program for 21 years. From there, he would use his prior lacrosse experience having played for SUNY Cortland and in the Mohawk Men’s Lacrosse League to lead Colonie to a Sectional Championship in 1988.

Upon retiring from teaching in 2000, Marco would continue his involvement with lacrosse by joining “the stripes”. He began officiating in 2001 and continues to do so today. He has utilized his mastery of teaching as the instructor for the Capital District Lacrosse Officials Association (CDLOA) new member

classes for the last nine years. In addition, he has volunteered his time as the assignor of officials for the Boy’s Adirondack Summer League for the last 13 years. Marco is the only person in Section 2 to have won a Section Championship as a coach, and then officiate a Section Championship as well.

Another tough loss for the New York Mets led to an ugly scene in the clubhouse Sunday, when manager Mickey Callaway reportedly snarled at a beat reporter and asked for the removal of the journalist, who was threatened by New York pitcher Jason Vargas. Mets players Noah Syndergaard and Carlos Gomez reportedly intervened when Vargas moved in the direction of Newsday’s Tim Healey, after suggesting to the reporter that he might “knock you the f--- out.” Moments before, according to reports, Callaway had used profanity while angrily addressing Healey. The episode unfolded in the visitors’ clubhouse at Wrigley Field in Chicago, where the Mets blew a 3-2 lead in the eighth inning and lost to the Cubs, 5-3. “The Mets sincerely regret the incident that took place with one of our beat writers following today’s game in the clubhouse,” the team said in a statement. “We do not condone this type of behavior from any employee. The organization has reached out and apologized to this reporter and will have further discussions internally with all involved parties.” Healey told Newsday that, in a phone call conversation Sunday, Mets COO Jeff Wilpon “stressed

the fact that I should feel comfortable being able to do my job at the ballpark and that moving forward, there’s no reason for me to feel uncomfortable. “I appreciated that sentiment from him, absolutely,” Healey continued. In the wake of the loss, Callaway fielded questions about why he elected not to bring in closer Edwin Diaz for a potential five-out save. He instead opted to stick with reliever Seth Lugo, who was in his second inning of work and had already allowed three base runners, on the mound to face the Cubs’ Javier Baez. Baez hit a three-run homer off Lugo, who was then replaced by another reliever, Robert Gsellman. The defeat, despite a solid effort by Mets starter Jacob deGrom, dropped New York to 37-41, four games back in the National League wild-card race and nine games behind the division-leading Atlanta Braves. Callaway told reporters, according to the New York Post, that his approach doesn’t call for Diaz, who has made one appearance since June 15, to try to get five outs. When asked whether that plan could be adapted to circumstances of a given game, he replied, “Just because you think so?” “Absolutely not,” continued Callaway, who went 77-85 with the Mets See METS B3

How the Giants and a bullet changed Ballentine’s life David Waldstein The New York Times News Service

TOPEKA, Kan. — It was 2 a.m., but Navarro Simmons’ mobile phone kept ringing and Corey Ballentine’s name kept flashing across the screen. Simmons was pretty sure what it was about, so he ignored the calls, at first. Several hours earlier Simmons had called to congratulate Ballentine, who had just been selected by the New York Giants in the sixth round of the NFL draft. Simmons had also called his son Dwane, knowing that Dwane was with Ballentine and would be just as excited about the big news. He assumed they were just getting back to him. Still in bed, Simmons finally clicked on his phone and began congratulating Ballentine again, asking how he felt on what was surely the best day of his young life. “Not good, Mr. Simmons,” Ballentine said. “You need to get here. Me and Dwane have been shot.” In an instant, the greatest day of Corey Ballentine’s life had turned into by far the worst. A bullet had torn through his buttocks, and his best friend was mortally wounded. The shooting that April night was like so many others in a country where gun violence plagues so many cities and towns. Rarely,

though, does a bullet find an NFL prospect on the night he is drafted.

Simmons and Ballentine were the innocent victims of a random act, a conclusion drawn

from interviews with the police, coaches, teachers, neighbors and family members. Simmons was the fifth homicide victim this year in Topeka, a city of about 128,000 in which there have been 53 homicides in the past 30 months (the most recent reported a month ago, about two blocks from where Simmons was killed). That puts the homicide rate in Topeka, where the median household income is roughly $45,000, ahead of the national average. Simmons, who was 23, and Ballentine were immensely popular around town, so this killing shattered the community. “He was just a college kid who was scheduled to graduate in the fall of 2019 with a degree that he would have shined in,” Navarro Simmons said. “It just makes no sense.” Around 12:45 a.m. on April 28, Ballentine and Simmons, the starting cornerbacks on the Washburn University football team, were shot by unknown assailants as they left a party near campus. The motive has not been established, though the police say investigators have leads on who carried out the shooting and are optimistic they will make an arrest. “Corey and Dwane were not looking for trouble,” Bill Cochran, chief of the Topeka Police Department, said in a telephone interview.

New Bull Coby White plays basketball for others K.C. Johnson Chicago Tribune

Minutes after realizing his boyhood dream of making it to the NBA, Coby White was answering questions about playing for the Bulls when a reporter informed him that his North Carolina teammate Cam Johnson had been drafted 11th to play for the Suns. Over the next 50 seconds, White used the words “wow” six times, “crazy” four times, “happy” twice and “love” once. The video clip, oozing sincerity and selflessness, went viral. But it didn’t at all surprise those who know White best. They say the natural leader almost always is thinking about playing for somebody else. “How can anybody do any better than what he did there?” said Roy Williams, North Carolina’s Hall of Fame coach. “He’s going to be an NBA player and he goes wacko talking about Cam and how hard Cam worked. “I’ve always said it takes a special person to really rejoice and enjoy other people’s successes. And you saw that last night with Coby talking about Cam. The Bulls are getting a really, really talented player. They’re also getting a great teammate.” It’s not hard to see the person who has the biggest impact on White’s joyful court demeanor. Just look at his pink shoes from any of the highlights of his lone season playing for Williams’ Tar Heels. White wears them to raise awareness for the American Cancer Society. Better yet, read White’s potent and poignant essay titled, “For My Father,” on The Players’ Tribune. Published three days before the Bulls used the No. 7 pick on White in hopes of accelerating their rebuild, the essay powerfully details how much he misses his father, Donald, who died of liver cancer in August 2017. White writes that the “FMF” tattoo on his arm stands for “For My Father” and the Roman numerals below it represent the day the man everybody called “Doc” died. Donald White played basketball for North Carolina Central from 1970 to ‘73.

Coby White reacts after being drafted with the seventh overall pick by the Chicago Bulls during the 2019 NBA Draft at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

“We talked a lot about it, and he kind of used it as motivation,” said Rob Salter, who coached White for four varsity seasons at Greenfield School in Wilson, N.C. “And basketball was kind of his escape route because he was doing something he loves. He always wanted to please his dad. That’s his drive. His family is what motivates him.” It’s no wonder, then, that White’s family — mother Bonita and older siblings Tia and William — surrounded him for a celebratory group photo in New York after his selection. The joyful shot also featured extended family members, close friends and Salter, crouching low in front. “He just wanted his loved ones there,” Salter said. “He wanted to share that night with everybody who has meant something to him. And it was a special night. It’s a night I’ll never forget. We’re family. Coby is like my own. He’s a phenomenal basketball player. But I always tell people that he’s a better person.” Salter still remembers the “little 6-foot, 130-pound guard who wasn’t very athletic” who tried out for varsity his freshman season. Despite the small stature, White’s knack for putting the ball in

the hoop jumped out. “He could finish around the rim, even though he was below it at the time,” Salter said. When White’s growth spurt hit — “five inches, eight if you count his hair,” Salter cracked — his confidence grew as well. “And his athleticism kicked in,” Salter said. “He went to another level.” Salter has a picture in his school office of White with closely cropped hair from White’s freshman season. By the end of his decorated high school career, White’s talent had grown as much as his signature hairdo. He supplanted former Bulls second-round pick JamesOn Curry’s state scoring record with 3,511 points. By that time, White had committed to North Carolina. The first time Williams watched White play in an AAU game during the summer, White had five dunks and five 3-pointers. “That’s a pretty good combination,” Williams said. But the first scouting report came from North Carolina players who played a pickup game with White during a campus visit that NCAA rules prohibited Williams from watching. Williams spent the

time chatting with Donald instead. “Our guys came in and said, ‘Coach, this guy is pretty good.’ And this was the summer after his sophomore year,” Williams said. “Better yet, his dad pretty doggone early said, ‘Coach, I want him to play for you.’ That was one of those moments that I’ll never forget. “His dad was a sweetheart of a guy. Everybody loved him. We had some good discussions, even later on when he got sick and could still talk on the phone.” Perhaps that’s why Williams’ blessing for White’s one-and-done status at North Carolina meant so much to White. Few expected the 6-foot-5 guard to establish himself so quickly, particularly on a team that started three seniors. Even White told Williams he never expected to play only season in Chapel Hill. “He’s a great, instinctive leader,” Williams said. “He had three seniors that were the leaders of the club, but he was the point guard. And they loved him and loved the way he thought about the team. “I love the pace that he can push the ball. I just put the ball in his hands. I love to play at a fast pace, and I hope the

Bulls do a little bit of that because that’s what he’s really special at is pushing the ball.” White is the Bulls’ first firstround pick from North Carolina since Michael Jordan in 1984. Nobody is placing pressure on White from any ridiculous comparisons between the two other than that fun fact. Salter even joked that Jordan has now dropped to No. 2 on his list of favorite alltime NBA players. “Off the court, (White) is such a humble kid,” Salter said. “He’s going to be the ultimate teammate. He competes every single play. I think he’ll earn the respect of all the fans. “And you know what? His dad was there (on draft night.)” Moments after the aforementioned celebratory photo was snapped, White spoke to reporters via conference call. He didn’t pause when asked what his father would’ve said to him on the night he officially entered the NBA. “He’d tell me how proud he was for me and how he loved me and he would just tell me this is only the beginning for me,” White said. “I’ve got a lot of success coming my way. I’ve just got to stay on the right path, continue to be who I am, be myself, stay true to myself, never forget where I came from and just continue to work like I have my whole life.” Williams is confident that will happen. “You know, the kid is playing for himself,” Williams said. “He’s playing because he loves the game of basketball. He’s playing because he can lose himself into the game. “But he’s also playing to honor his father. I felt so privileged to have been his coach for one year and give him a little bit of guidance from a different perspective in his down times. “And that kid is going to play some big-time basketball. He’s very competitive. He’s also a sweetheart of a kid. I just know I’m going to be a tremendous Chicago Bulls fan for a long time.”

Ainge must clean up messy Celtics season Kevin McNamara The Providence Journal

In his 16 years as the Celtics’ president of basketball operations, Danny Ainge has earned a reputation for keeping his cards close to the vest. This trait has generally served the Celtics quite well but fans must be wondering just where Ainge might find his next ace or two. He certainly needs a few. After a busy NBA draft on Thursday night, Ainge met the media and basically tried to calm the masses. Over the last two weeks, any grandiose plan the franchise had to target banner 18 blew up in smoke. It’s become apparent that the Celts will lose Kyrie Irving to free agency. He reportedly didn’t like how his brief, unfulfilling stay in Boston unfolded. The feeling is mutual. Any far-fetched dreams of engineering a trade for All-Star big man Anthony Davis were also dashed. He let it be known through the hoop grapevine that he didn’t want to play in Boston either. Instead, he’ll spend his winters in Los Angeles with LeBron James. Finally, in a true kick-in-the-teeth, classy veteran Al Horford told the team his $30-million option for next season wasn’t going to cut it. He’s shopping for a championship contender and the 33-year-old is in line for a four-year deal for about $100 million, according to the latest hoop scoop. The L.A. Clippers and Dallas Mavericks are in the mix. These spins in the NBA’s highly entertaining, often amusing, free-agent soap opera are death blows to a franchise that’s always all about championships. At least that’s the conclusion most of the basketball world has reached. Ainge, however, apparently sees opportunity. “I’m excited about our team going forward. I like where we’re headed,” Ainge said. “I like the core young group of guys. I think we’re going to be a really competitive team again.” Really? More likeable perhaps, but how competitive? Make the playoffs competitive or run to the Finals competitive? We’ll soon find out exactly what Ainge sees that no one else is grasping. The Celtics added four collegians in the draft but it would be a major surprise if any one of them is a rotation player next season. The real work comes when free agency begins at 6 p.m. on June 30. That’s when Ainge will find out if Irving and Horford really are leaving. He’ll also

Danny Ainge, the Celtics’ president of basketball operations, has a lot on his plate.

make a decision on retaining the mercurial Terry Rozier by then and gauge what it may take to sign free-agent Marcus Morris. Without Irving and Horford, the summer focus will be on adding big men and a point guard. Orlando’s Nikola Vucevic is an attractive frontcourt

option and if reports are true that Kyrie could land in Brooklyn, the Celts could target Nets star D’Angelo Russell. Both players would eat up the $26 million in salary cap space Ainge is frantically carving out these days. So this is how the world has turned for Ainge and the Celts. After several years of cobbling together “assets” and using draft picks and deft trades to assemble a team that was seen as the best in the Eastern Conference last summer, the equation has changed. Thanks to an untimely injury to Gordon Hayward that’s reduced the former All-Star to a shell of himself, plus the mental implosion of Kyrie, the two most important acquisitions of the last few years didn’t pan out. So with his best-laid plan up in smoke, Ainge is back in team-building mode. Pairing Kyrie with Hayward, Horford and young talents Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown sounded so promising. The group was set to thrive in the “position-less basketball” system espoused by coach Brad Stevens. Now it’s time to get fans excited about Nikola Vucevic and the promise of draft picks Romeo Langford and Grant Williams? Where have you gone Greg Kite. “I’m very excited about what the possibilities are over the next month,” Ainge said. It’s fair to ask if any of the blame for this retrenchment is on Ainge. Hayward’s issues are on no one. Injuries happen and if Hayward can never enjoy another star turn, that’s simply bad luck. But how about Kyrie, the diva/tool who may not have the sweet free-agent landing spot (Brooklyn, L.A.?) he envisions. With Kyrie begging for a trade from Cleveland, the Celts seemingly fleeced the Cavs when they gave up an injured Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and a lottery pick. I’d do that trade again but interestingly Cavs owner Dan Gilbert said a few days ago “We killed it in that trade,” citing Kyrie’s injured knee and the short-term contract the Celtics knowingly took on. Shouldn’t Ainge have caught wind on how bad of a teammate Irving could be? So buckle up for a large dose of NBA summer soap opera. The Celtics are chasing their tails with two max-contract players opting to bolt and little cap room available to entice new stars to town. In Danny we trust? Good luck.

Mets From B1

last season, his first as a manager. “We have a very good plan, we know what we are doing and we’re going to stick to it.”

Giants From B1

“There was none of that afoot. They were just out having a good time.” Inseparable Friends Corey Ballentine and Dwane (pronounced “dwon”) Simmons met in their freshman year at Washburn, a neatly trimmed Division II university in the heart of Topeka that bears an unusual school nickname, the Ichabods, taken from its founder, Ichabod Washburn. Simmons was a walk-on cornerback from Lee’s Summit West High School. Ballentine was a track star at Shawnee Heights High School in Tecumseh, Kansas, who fell in love with football. Brad Nicks, Ballentine’s track and field coach and defensive coordinator on the Shawnee Heights football team, said Ballentine could have run track at plenty of Division I schools, but preferred football. Ballentine and Simmons held much in common. Both were from strong, supportive families with professional parents. Both grew up in suburban areas and demonstrated a passion for sports. Ballentine’s father is a salesman for a home improvement firm, and Navarro Simmons, 40, is a financial adviser who recently

Several minutes later, after Callaway had gone into his office, he reemerged and walked past Healey, who told Callaway, according to the New York Daily News, “see you tomorrow, Mickey.” And according to Yahoo Sports, Callaway turned and yelled at the reporter, “Don’t

be a smarta--, motherf-----.” The 44-year-old manager, a former MLB pitcher, engaged again with Healey shortly thereafter and was reported to have used more profanity, while asking a Mets public relations official to remove the reporter. Healey, per reports, then

noticed Vargas staring him down and told the pitcher that it seemed as if he might have something to say. Vargas threatened to knock Healey out and moved toward the reporter, drawing the intervention of Syndergaard and Gomez, as well as that of a Mets official, reported the Daily

News). “I was shocked, and at the same time trying to tell Vargas or Callaway or (Mets media relations official Ethan Wilson), ‘Hey I didn’t mean anything by it,’ which might have been interpreted as aggression on my part,” Healey said. “I was in no way trying to be aggressive

or antagonistic or anything. At that point in the day, I want to talk to Diaz and then leave, you know? What’s the point in me trying to pick a fight?” The Mets’ loss also wasted the 27th home run by Pete Alonso, which broke a team record for a rookie set by Darryl Strawberry in 1983.

took up bodybuilding. At Washburn, their sons became instant friends and eventually roommates in an off-campus apartment, not far from where the shooting occurred. Their parents often sat together in the stands, watching their sons play cornerback. According to those who knew them best, Dwane and Corey were inseparable. Simmons, who majored in mass media, was the more outgoing one, a gregarious sort with a magnetic smile, a penchant for hilarious impersonations and friends across campus, many of whom attended a vigil for him after he died. The Washburn football coach, Craig Schurig, said he often envisioned Simmons as a future entertainer. And when time came to rev up the defense before a game, Simmons was its conductor. “Dwane always made you laugh,” said Braden Rose, a freshman defensive end. “He had a smile that lit up the room.” Ballentine, who was born in Jamaica and moved to Kansas when he was about 6, was quieter and more focused on his schoolwork and training regimen. “Dwane got Corey to open up and be more social,” Navarro Simmons said. “Corey pushed Dwane with his books and workouts.” Simmons suffered two torn ACLs, impeding his career, but Ballentine’s flourished as he

developed into a fiercely competitive defensive back and an electrifying special teams player. He won the Cliff Harris Award as the top defensive player in the country from a smaller college. Schurig, who has coached Washburn for 17 years, said that if Ballentine had played at a major program like Kansas or Missouri, an NFL team would have drafted him no later than the third round. “There won’t be a D-back in the league more powerful than him,” Schurig said. Searching for Answers Ballentine and his father, Karl Vaughn, declined to be interviewed for this article, but a few days after the shooting, Navarro Simmons said he spoke to Corey again and asked him to recount everything from the day his son died. Talking about his son, Simmons said, especially with the friend who was with him at the end, helped both of them cope in the weeks after Dwane died. Navarro Simmons also knows that if he is still in shock, Ballentine must also still be traumatized by the events and wary that the killers remain at large, aware by now of exactly whom they attacked. Simmons says it is vital to set the record straight about what happened in the hours leading up to the shooting. As usual, the pair were together. First, they went to Ballentine’s parents’ home in a

well-manicured subdivision of Topeka to await the results of the draft along with family and friends. Soon after the Giants chose Ballentine with the 180th pick, Ballentine spoke on a conference call with reporters, assuring them that he would not be overwhelmed by big-city life. “I have no character issues,” he said. “I have none of those issues.” Later, the friends celebrated, first at a small gathering with teammates. Eventually, Simmons and Ballentine ended up at a house rented by fellow students near the corner of Southwest 13th and Southwest Lane streets, in a residential area, to celebrate with members of the Washburn women’s soccer team and others. “There was nothing wrong about where they were,” Navarro Simmons said. “They are college students out on a Saturday night.” Shortly after midnight, Ballentine, Simmons and a few others left the party and convened on 13th Street. They contemplated their next move. According to Cochran, the police chief, a car rolled up and people in it asked the men on the street if they had any drugs, and were told no. Then people in the car asked the players’ names, but were rebuffed again. The car then moved forward about 30 yards, witnesses told the police, and stopped, and

someone opened fire, as many as 40 rounds, some neighbors said. Vandellia Clarke, a 24-yearold caregiver who lives around the corner, said she heard the shots clearly. “We’ve been living here 20 years and there has never been any issues,” she said. “But it sounded like a war zone.” Cochran said the seemingly arbitrary nature of the crime made solving it a challenge. “It was one of those things, probably to scare people, with no real intent. Just senseless gun violence.” Ballentine told Navarro Simmons that he did not know he had been struck until he sought safety in the nearby home of a friend, and called another friend to take him to the hospital — all the while growing increasingly alarmed that Dwane Simmons did not answer his phone. “Everybody was like, ‘Why did Corey leave Dwane?’” Navarro Simmons said. “Understand, Corey was shot, too. Corey was scared, too. You hear shots, you run.” After speaking with Ballentine, Navarro Simmons and Dwane’s mother embarked on a panicked one-hour drive to Topeka. By the time they arrived, their son was dead. Life Without Dwane The Giants sent two representatives to the funeral, a former player and special assistant, Jessie Armstead, along with the athletic trainer,

Ronnie Barnes. Navarro Simmons said he was not aware of the gesture, but is now very appreciative. “I didn’t know who was there,” he said. “I was just focused on my son in front of me in a casket.” Ballentine was granted time to recover before he had to report to the team in May for rookie workouts. Schurig, who spoke at the funeral, said that the university was preparing a scholarship in Dwane Simmons’ name and that the team would honor him in additional ways, including naming an award for him. On a recent afternoon, Navarro Simmons met a reporter in his favorite coffee shop in Kansas City, Missouri, wearing a T-shirt bearing a photograph of Dwane flashing his signature smile. A high school classmate of Navarro’s stopped to offer condolences, which Simmons said happens continually now. As he tried to process his loss, Simmons said he hoped Ballentine could do the same. He also encouraged Ballentine to make the most of this opportunity with the Giants. Dwane, he said, would have wanted Corey to show the world just how good Washburn cornerbacks are. “Dwane was so happy for Corey,” Simmons said. “He loved Corey. That was his brother.”

Rapinoe scores twice for U.S. in 2-1 win over Spain Field Level Media

MICHAEL CHOW/USA TODAY

United States forward Megan Rapinoe (15) celebrates after scoring a penalty kick goal against Spain during the second half in a round of Monday’s 16 match in the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019 at Stade Auguste-Delaune.

Megan Rapinoe’s second penalty kick of the game – this one in the 76th minute – broke a 1-1 tie to lift the United States into the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup with a 2-1 victory over Spain at Stade Auguste-Delaune in Reims, France, on Monday. The win sets up the long-anticipated matchup between the defending champion U.S. and host France at Parc des Princes in Paris on Friday. Rapinoe, who scored in the 7th minute for a 1-0 lead, got the winner after Alex Morgan originally planned to shoot from the spot. But after a video review confirmed that Spain’s Virginia Torrecilla had fouled Rose Lavelle with a foot to the leg, it was the U.S. captain who stepped up and buried the strike under the outstretched right arm of diving goalkeeper Sandra Panos. The U.S., a three-time champion, was able to hold on and advance. The score was tied at 1 at

Italy chosen to host 2026 Winter Olympics Jeré Longman The New York Times News Service

Northern Italy was chosen Monday as the site of the 2026 Winter Olympics, with hosting to be shared by the economic and fashion capital of Milan and the ski resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo, as the International Olympic Committee desperately tries to curb waning interest, spiraling costs and white elephant competition venues associated with the games. The Italian bid was chosen over the only other candidate, a dual bid between Stockholm and the ski resort of Are, Sweden, in a vote of 47-34 by IOC delegates. Northern Italy had been expected to win, given that there was much broader public support there and a greater willingness by government officials to offer financial guarantees. While both bids offered countries where winter sports thrive and where

there is experience hosting major events — Cortina hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics — the candidacies struggled at times to become convincing choices. And for the second bidding process in a row, the Winter Games ended up with only two finalists after five other potential candidates withdrew or were deemed insufficiently prepared. With fewer cities willing to bankroll the billions needed to operate the Winter Games, the 2026 finalists reflected the IOC’s effort at change by allowing Olympic hosting to be shared by different cities, different regions and even different countries. The Swedish bid, for instance, planned to hold the bobsled, luge and skeleton events across the Baltic Sea in Sigulda, Latvia, where a refrigerated track already exists. But Stockholm, the Swedish capital, never seemed fully committed, even though the operation

of the games was to use no public money beyond security and the maintenance of existing infrastructure and sports venues. Stockholm had dropped out of the bidding for the 2022 Winter Games for financial reasons — those Olympics were awarded to Beijing — and only slightly more than half of Sweden’s population had supported the 2026 bid. Stockholm officials had declined to sign the official IOC hosting contract, leaving it to Are, its co-host, if the bid was successful. The IOC’s polling showing that more than 80% of Italians supported Italy’s candidacy. The initial operating budget is projected at $1.7 billion, but these costs always rise, often significantly. The IOC has pledged to contribute $925 million to organizers from television rights, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales and merchandising.

halftime after Spain got the equalizer from Jennifer Hermoso in the 9th minute. The U.S., having defeated Sweden on Thursday to complete Group F play, played on three fewer days of rest than Spain, although the Americans were able to use all 20 field players through the first three matches. Spain used a gaffe by U.S. goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher to overcome Rapinoe’s first goal, who scored her 46th international goal after Tobin Heath drew a penalty from Maria Leon on the left side of the box. The lead would not last long. Naeher, in her first World Cup after backing up Hope Solo in the 2015 World Cup, had little to do in this tournament in the group stage. She finally was tested early by Spain. Naeher felt the high-pressure attack, and her outlet to defender Becky Sauerbrunn was picked off by Lucia Garcia. She quickly found Hermoso for the chip from 21 yards that ended the U.S. shutout streak at 647 minutes.

Warriors add Fredette to Summer League roster Field Level Media

Veteran guard Jimmer Fredette will be on the Golden State Warriors’ Summer League roster, assistant general manager Larry Harris said Monday. Harris confirmed the signing of the 30-year-old former NBA lottery pick during an appearance on 95.7 The Game. The 6-foot-2 Fredette was the consensus national player of the year in college basketball after averaging 28.9 points per game at BYU in 2010-11. He was the 10th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft,

but has averaged just 6.0 points on 40.9 percent shooting in parts of six NBA seasons with the Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns. Fredette appeared in six games with Phoenix in 201819, averaging 3.7 points, 1.3 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 10.8 minutes. Although his NBA career has been a bust, Fredette became a superstar in China with the Shanghai Sharks. He averaged a league-high 36.9 points per game and set a Chinese Basketball Association record with 219 3-point field goals last season.
