meeting, held at 5 p.m.

Dowd cited Section 104 of the Public Officers Law to defend his argument that the public was not adequately notified of the meetings. “[The law] requires public notice of the time and place of a meeting scheduled at least one week prior thereto to be given or electronically submitted to the news media and to be conspicuously posted in one or more designated public locations at least 72 hours before such meeting,” according to Section 104.

Dowd alleges that the town intentionally withheld in-

formation from the public because the meetings had to do with controversial negotiations with Sheepdog Warrior Shooting Range on Haines Road.

The Zoning Board determined that law enforcement training was not a recreational use in March, leaving owner Ed Rivenburg the option to seek a use variance for the property.

Town attorney Michael Smith opposes Dowd’s claim.

“Your letter to Town Supervisor Davis and Zoning Board of Appeals Chair Zubris iterates a sequence of meetings,

unfounded assumptions, and inferences as a basis to spin a false narrative to conclude that the Town of Catskill intentionally violated the Open Meetings Law,” Smith wrote.

“The truth lies elsewhere. Indeed, as I describe below, the timeline connected with the very meetings detailed in your letter actually demonstrate that the town engaged in performing its duties not only in full compliance with the technical requirements of the Open Meetings Law but also in compliance with the spirit of the Open Meetings Law.” At the meetings in question,

both boards passed resolutions to authorize a tolling agreement with Sheepdog, which extends the statute of limitations for Rivenburg to make an appeal to the zoning board another 60 days. This option would have expired on April 14 but will now expire June 13, according to Smith’s letter.

Dowd argued in his letter that the meetings in question could have been rescheduled for a later date and proper notice could have been given to the public.

“Only the town’s choice in scheduling and its desire to conceal from the public its decision with Sheepdog about Sheepdog’s desired future use of the property prevented this from happening,” Dowd wrote.

The town had no choice but to call the emergency meeting, Smith said.

“There were no communications or meetings between the town and the gun range from March 15 and onward until April 4,” Smith wrote. “The town could only bring proposed resolutions before both boards by calling emergency meetings.”

The first time a tolling agreement was suggested was April 9, Smith said.

propositions. The proposed budget of $31,583,390 reflects a spending decrease of 1.11% and a 1.24% tax levy increase.

Voters will be asked to approve a $300 increase for the Greenville Public Library and a $520 increase for the Rensselaer Public Library. If defeated, the library budgets will be maintained at last year’s level. One special proposition asking voters to approve the expenditure of $920,000 for eight school buses and one van will appear on the ballot. The other will ask voters to approve a $15,500 acquisition of half an acre near Scott M. Ellis Elementary

school to expand parking.

In Hunter-Tannersville, voters will decide on a proposed $14,317,925 district budget that reflects a 2.4% increase in the tax levy and a 1.9% spending increase. There are no special propositions on this year’s ballot.

In Windham-Ashland-Jewett, a $12,321,496 school district budget will be proposed to voters. The budget reflects a 1.37% spending increase and a 1.58% tax levy increase. There are no special propositions on the ballot.

Voters in six Greene County school districts will go to the polls Tuesday to decide the fates of several budgets and special propositions.

In Cairo-Durham, voters will make a decision on a proposed $31,806,451 district budget.

The budget reflects a 2.12% increase in spending and a 2.65% increase in the tax levy. Voters will also decide on a special proposition on the $646,060 purchase of six new school buses.

In Catskill, voters will decide on a proposed $42,640,929

district budget. The budget reflects a 2.03% increase in spending and a 3.34% increase in the tax levy. A proposition asking voters to approve an $801,928 spending plan for the Catskill Public Library will also appear on the ballot.

In Coxsackie-Athens, a proposed district budget of $32,922,388 will appear on the ballot. The proposal would increase spending by 3.54% and raise the tax levy by 3.8%. There are no special propositions on the ballot.

In Greenville, voters will decide on a proposed budget, two library budgets and two special

“They told me they were no longer interested in the site,” Kozloski said.

Kozloski met with Senior Manager of Business Development Mark Schwartz and Senior Infrastructure Manager Jay Insley of Wheelabrator at the quarry site Thursday morning.

Kozloski said Wheelabrator representatives told him the company has made alternative plans.

“Their parent company has purchased another company with three dumpsites,” Kozloski said. “They don’t need to go forward with it [Peckham] for now.”

The dumpsites at the other location are expected to have a life span of about 30 years, Kozloski said.

“Bringing the ash to those sites means less traveling and road miles for them,” Kozloski said. Kozloski said believes the new sites are in Westchester County.

Wheelabrator is drafting a letter declaring the company’s intent to withdraw the Catskill project, Kozloski said.

Village President Vincent Seeley confirmed Friday that

individuals, like barring transgender recruits from serving in the military or formally rejecting complaints filed by transgender students who are barred from restrooms that match their gender identity.

“The question before us is not whether the LGBTQ community faces outrageous and immoral discrimination, for the record shows that it clearly does,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler

of New York, chairman of the Judiciary Committee. “The question is whether we, as Congress, are willing to take action to do something about it. The answer goes straight to the heart of who we want to be as a country — and today, that answer must be a resounding ‘yes.’”

The legislation, which amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibits discrimination of lesbian, gay, bisexual and

transgender people in both the public and private sectors, offering civil rights protections in businesses, hospitals and welfare services. It explicitly states that individuals cannot be denied access to a locker room or dressing room on the same basis.

The response from the Republican-controlled Senate and White House, however, is likely to be a resounding no.

“David Brennan, Esq., representing the gun range, called Supervisor Davis and suggested that the town explore the concept of an agreement between the town and the gun range extending the deadline to appeal for the purpose of exploring amending the zoning law to permit law enforcement training,” Smith wrote. “Supervisor Davis advised Brennan to explore the concept with Michael Smith, the Town Attorney.”

The April 10 zoning board meeting, which at the time had no agenda items, was canceled, Smith said.

Dowd also mentioned that the town board meeting was not live-streamed, as most town meetings are.

“Your letter also states that both board meetings were not streamed that day and this omission constituted further evi-

dence of the plot to intentionally violate the Open Meetings Law,” Smith wrote. “In fact, streaming of Town Board meetings is only routinely available for regularly scheduled meetings not emergency meetings and streaming is not part of the zoning board’s procedure at any meetings.”

Dowd also noted a lack of agendas being posted on the town website.

Neither are protected by law, state Director of Committee on Open Government Robert Freeman said.

“The law says they have to give the time and place,” he said.

“It says nothing about agendas.”

The town did its best to comply with the law given the limited time frame, Smith concludes.

“The three-day timeline from April 9, Brennan’s email tolling agreement proposal, to April 11, the date of the emergency meet-

ings, demonstrate a justifiable basis for the scheduling of the emergency meetings that fully complied with the Open Meetings Law,” Smith wrote. “Moreover, the Town Clerk at the earliest opportunity published the zoning board resolution, the Town Board resolution, and the Tolling Agreement on the town website in an effort to be completely transparent. Clearly, the town not only complied with the requirements of the Open Meetings Law but also complied with the spirit of the law.”

Freeman emphasized important distinctions in the law.

“If the meeting is scheduled a week in advance, notice has to be given not less than 72 hours before the meeting,” Freeman said. “If they knew about it for less than a week, the notice has to be to the extent that it is practicable.”

a letter from Wheelabrator is pending.

“We have not yet received an official letter from the company but we have verbal confirmation that the company has decided to take a different direction,” Seeley said.

“The real death [of the project] will be when they retract the application from DEC,” Seeley said.

Two Wheelabrator officials, Schwartz and Director of Communications & Community Engagement Michelle Nadeau did not return multiple calls for comment.

The town has not received direct confirmation of Wheelabrator’s change of heart, Town Supervisor Doreen Davis said.

“We are hopeful to get an official statement,” she said, adding that the town will share any confirmation on its website.

“Had it advanced in any formal way, the project would have gone through a review process,” Davis said. “We support nothing that would pollute the town or beyond.”

Seeley said he hopes the activist movement spurred by the project can be put to good use.

“I am relieved that this is over but now I see this as an opportunity to take all that energy and focus it on what we feel are appropriate uses

[for Catskill] that benefit our community, protect the environment and provide a sustainable economic platform,” Seeley said.

Seeley wants to see the community and local government work together more in the future.

“There should be a more collaborative approach the next time a project people have an objection to is brought forward,” Seeley said.

“We need to work together to decide what’s right for our community.”

Judith Enck, former regional administrator with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, has been a leader in the fight against Wheelabrator.

Enck said she is cautiously optimistic about the company’s news.

“It is important Wheelabrator confirms publicly,” she said. “They owe it to the people of Catskill to say if they’re pulling out or not. If they are, this is a stunning grassroots victory.”

Riverkeeper Director of Advocacy and Engagement Jessica Roff agreed.

“If Wheelbrator/Macquarie is indeed pulling out, that’s smart. They’d be wise to avoid the Hudson River Valley entirely with this dangerous plan,” Roff said.

Wheelabrator submitted its application to DEC in early 2017, Enck said.

“They had a three-year head start,” she said. “Once a local news story ran on this in February, people mobilized and in the course of three months, we convinced a company like Wheelabrator they’re not welcome here.”

OUR VIEW

Amid changing trends, vote Tuesday Tuesday, voters in 12 school districts in Greene and Columbia counties will go to the polls to approve or reject budget proposals and elect candidates to their boards of education.

This year, the elections to watch take place in the Cairo-Durham and Ichabod Crane school districts. There is drama in Cairo-Durham over the departure of former Superintendent of Schools Anthony Taibi. Ichabod Crane has a drama of its own in the wake of an unpopular $27 million capital project proposal. A record 11 candidates are running for just four seats in Cairo-Durham and eight are seeking three seats in Ichabod Crane.

When this number of candidates run for an office that pays nothing, the stomping of dissatisfaction can be heard loud and clear.

One noticeable and disturbing development this

year is the marked candidate apathy in the Twin Counties’ two biggest school districts in terms of budget. The Catskill and Hudson City school districts each have three open seats but voters will see just one candidate on each ballot. Two seats in Hudson and two seats in Catskill will be filled by write-in candidates.

A surprising characteristic this year is that just five of the 12 Twin County school districts — Cairo-Durham, Coxsackie-Athens, HunterTannersville, Ichabod Crane and Taconic Hills — feature contested races.

But one constant is that there are still many publicspirited candidates who don’t mind the long hours, high stress and zero pay.

Instead, they welcome the challenge of governing districts with budgets in the millions of dollars.

School board candidates

should reflect a cross-section of their communities, and that has not changed this year. Challenged or unopposed, they represent a broad range of youth and age, experience and occupations. They also have deep roots in their communities.

Many candidates attended their hometown schools and enrolled their children in those same schools. Education is a legacy.

If you want to know more about your school district budget and the candidates running for your school board, check out your district websites. Many contain budget breakdowns and board candidate names and biographies.

Polls will be open until 9 p.m. in most school districts.

We encourage you to vote Tuesday in your school budget and school board elections.

ANOTHER VIEW

Facing the future of surveillance The Washington Post

In San Francisco, the law has gotten ahead of technology for once. This week, the city became the first in the nation to ban government agencies from using facial-recognition software. The impulse to control a nascent technology that could pose real risks to civil rights is laudable. But a moratorium might be a better strategy than outright prohibition to limit the dangers of an unregulated but potentially useful tool.

There is no need to imagine a dystopian surveillance state in which a government can follow its citizens everywhere they go simply by scanning their faces. That state already exists. China’s ubiquitous cameras and facialrecognition software allow the tracking of its Uighur population, in particular.

Officials also hold face databases of criminals, the mentally ill, known drug users and even those who have lodged grievances with the government. Russia is expanding its use of

similar products.

Right now, police departments across the United States are experimenting with techniques eerily similar to those overseas. Cities have the capacity, through strategically placed cameras, to locate anyone with a criminal record, or they are testing pilot programs working toward that goal.

Authorities are setting low accuracy thresholds for matches, against the advice of software manufacturers, while running pixelated images and even sketches through the programs. Systems that studies have suggested perform poorly when identifying women and people of color are not audited for bias. Defendants are apprehended with the help of the technology and never find out - even in court. This is happening, in many cases, without the communities under watch knowing a thing.

Americans have the advantage of living in a democracy where citizens have some say in just how

closely the government can keep an eye on them.

Right now, when it comes to facial recognition, they are not getting that chance. There’s potential for a legal regime that realizes the legitimate advantages that recognition techniques can offer, from finding trafficking victims to apprehending suspects in serious crimes, while also guarding against its abuse. But finding that regime will take time.

San Francisco’s law should be welcomed as a way to grapple with facialrecognition technology before it becomes so entrenched that Americans regard face scans as routine and inevitable. The country should be figuring out when police should be allowed to turn facial recognition on, rather than when they should be forced to turn it off. But hitting stop without a plan for further study might miss the opportunity to throw the right switches.

Call it a pause, not a ban.

Blaine paid a steep price for his bigotry, but children shouldn’t have to WASHINGTON — Republican James G. Blaine (18301893) was a House speaker, senator and two-time secretary of state, but he is remembered, if at all, for this doggerel: “Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine/ the continental liar from the state of Maine.” His lasting legacy, however, is even more disreputable than his involvement in unsavory business deals while in elective office: the Blaine Amendments that have been in 37 state constitutions.

Soon, the Supreme Court will decide whether to hear an appeal from Montana’s high court. Accepting the Montana case will enable the Supreme Court to end the conflict among federal circuit courts of appeal and state courts of last resort.

In the 19th century’s second half, fear and loathing of Catholic immigrants were ubiquitous and forthright. In 1854, Massachusetts’ governor and all but three members of the Legislature were members of the anti-Catholic Know Nothing party, and the Legislature’s Nunnery Committee searched for underground dungeons in convents. Protestantism was effectively a semi-established religion, widely taught in public schools with hymn singing and readings from the King James Version of the Bible. And many states enacted constitutional provisions such as Montana’s, adopted in 1889 and readopted in the 1972 constitution: There shall be no “direct or indirect appropriation or payment” of public monies “for any sectarian purpose” or to aid any institution “controlled in whole or in part by any church, sect, or denomination.”

In 2015, in order “to provide parental and student choice in education” from grades K-12, Montana’s Legislature enacted legislation providing a small tax credit of up to $150 for individuals or businesses donating to private, nonprofit scholarship organizations that award scholarships for children to attend private schools,

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL

a program similar to those in 18 states. However, Montana’s Department of Revenue quickly issued a rule forbidding recipients from using their scholarships at religious schools. The department said this was required by the Blaine Amendment quoted above.

Montana’s Supreme Court has upheld this rule, which cripples an organization called Big Sky Scholarships.

This organization formed to receive and distribute funding targeted exclusively to lowincome families and children with disabilities. One of the petitioners seeking a U.S. Supreme Court hearing is Kendra Espinoza, an office manager and single mother who took a second job, as a janitor, to help pay her two daughters’ tuition at a nondenominational — not a Catholic — school. Without a Big Sky scholarship, her daughters will likely have to leave their school. As might the adopted daughter (from China) of another petitioner, Jeri Anderson.

The petitioners argued in Montana’s Supreme Court that the Blaine Amendment is not applicable to Big Sky scholarships because it applies only to public funds, not private donations, which are not transformed into public funds merely because they — like most charitable contributions — are incentivized by a provision of the tax code. Furthermore, the money comes to religious schools not as “aid” from a state institution but from parents choosing those schools from a number of options.

They also argued that making religious schools ineligible for

funds such as Big Sky’s would implicate both the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of the “free exercise” of religion and the “equal protection of the laws.”

For 24 years lower courts, federal and state, have differed concerning (in the language of the Institute for Justice’s brief on the petitioners’ behalf) “whether the government may bar religious options from otherwise neutral and generally available student-aid programs.” Perhaps the court should not take cognizance of this fact, but the rest of us should: Aggressive secularists, and persons bent on defending public education from competition, favor Blaine Amendments.

In a 2000 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court noted that in Blaine Amendments such as Montana’s, “it was an open secret that ‘sectarian’ was code for ‘Catholic.’” So, beyond the deceptively bland text of Montana’s Blaine Amendment, the Supreme Court should again recognize the context of its origin — the 19th century’s “pervasive” (the court’s 2000 language) anti-Catholic animus that continues inflicting harm in the 21st century.

Blaine came within 1,047 votes of becoming president when, in 1884, hoping his antiCatholicism would propel him to victory, he lost New York by that margin to Grover Cleveland. A large multiple of that number of New York’s Irish and other Catholic immigrants had become incensed when a prominent Protestant minister, speaking at a rally in New York City with Blaine present, said the Democratic Party’s antecedents were “rum, Romanism and rebellion.”

Blaine paid a steep price for his bigotry. More than 13 decades later, schoolchildren in Montana and elsewhere should not have to pay for it.

Grumpy Cat, internet celebrity with a permanent scowl,is dead at 7 Daniel Victor The New York Times News Service

Grumpy Cat, the ubiquitous internet celebrity whose permanent scowl spoke for all of us in our darkest moments, died in the arms of her “mommy” Tuesday, her family said Friday. She was 7.

The cat, whose actual name was Tardar Sauce and who hailed from Arizona, died after complications arose from a urinary tract infection, her family wrote on Twitter.

“Besides being our baby and a cherished member of the family, Grumpy Cat has helped millions of people smile all around the world — even when times were tough,” according to the post.

Many cats have had moments of minifame on the internet, but few, if any, have had the reach and staying power of Grumpy Cat. She first rose to prominence six years ago, after her owner posted a photo to Reddit, captioned “Meet grumpy cat.”

The sourpuss with the piercing look of contempt quickly became a meme, and placing bold words above and below her frown became a common way for humans to express grumpy thoughts.

Perhaps the most famous: “I had fun once.

It was awful.”

CHRISTIAN PETERSEN/GETTY IMAGES

PHOENIX, AZ - SEPTEMBER 07: “Grumpy Cat” sits dugout before the MLB game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Francisco Giants at Chase Field on September 7, 2015 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Grumpy Cat’s visage was named the Meme of the Year at the 2013 Webby Awards, beating

out “Gangnam Style” and “Harlem Shake.”

Many memes come and go, but her owner,

Tabatha Bundesen, turned the cat’s face into the center of a thriving business.

Her likeness appeared on nearly 900 items in an official shop, she made a television advertisement for “Honey Nut Cheerios,” and she became the official “spokescat” of Friskies, a cat food brand. The cat starred in a Lifetime Christmas movie, “Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever,” she was on the cover of New York Magazine, and her book hit No. 7 on The New York Times’ advice, how-to and miscellaneous best-seller list.

Estimates ranged widely on how much Grumpy Cat was worth, though Bundesen disputed a 2014 report that the cat had earned her $100 million. In 2018, Bundesen won $710,000 in a copyright infringement suit against a coffee company that made Grumpy Cat Grumppuccino.

The cat’s famous scowl was the result of feline dwarfism, her family said, and though she was a mixed breed, her owners were unsure of the specific mix.

On the cat’s website, her owners maintain that Grumpy Cat wasn’t grumpy at all.

“She is a super cute and cuddly kitty and loves to be held and rubbed,” they wrote.

Ohio State failed to act on reports Trump says Democrats playing of sexual misconduct, report says ‘a bit of a game’ on infrastructure Laura A. Bischoff The New York Times News Service

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Over the course of two decades, Dr. Richard Strauss sexually abused 177 male students at Ohio State University and although administrators knew about the misconduct, it was not reported to law enforcement, according to a 232-page investigative report released Friday.

“Investigators concluded that university personnel at the time had knowledge of complaints and concerns about Strauss’ conduct as early as 1979 but failed to investigate or act meaningfully,” the university said on Friday.

The report found that athletic directors, athletic trainers, assistant athletic directors, team physicians and others knew of the complaints about Strauss.

One athletic trainer told investigators that people who overlapped with Strauss for any significant time would have to have their “ears plugged, eyes shut, and mouth closed to not realize something was off.”

The report, from law firm Perkins Coie, details graphic sexual abuse perpetrated by Strauss between 1979 and 1998, when the university granted him emeritus status.

He fondled students -sometimes to the point of ejaculation, made them strip under the guise of medical assessments and asked probing questions about their sex lives -- abuse that escalated over time, the report said.

One student reported that Strauss put his mouth on his penis to perform oral sex during an exam. The student quit his team and never reported the incident to his coach or the university.

Another student reported that Strauss masturbated in front of him during a medical appointment.

Another student reported that he lost consciousness after Strauss gave him an injection during treatment for a head injury. He awoke to find his pants unbuttoned and unzipped and Strauss stroking his thigh.

Investigators said the survivors’ accounts were

credible and corroborated by other records.

While many of the men were reluctant to relive traumatic experiences or harm the university, “these men explained to us that their own children are now college-aged and that they want to help ensure that something ‘like this’ never happened at OSU, or at any institution, again,” investigators said.

They said based on evidence, Strauss abused more than the 177 students identified in the report.

Strauss died by suicide in 2005 in California.

The university is facing multiple lawsuits from former students who say they were victimized by Strauss.

“Now that OSU has admitted to a monumental and fundamental failure to protect its students from sexual abuse, the taxpayers for the state of Ohio should not be responsible for the negligence of Ohio State,” said Brian Garrett, who says he was abused by Strauss.

“OSU is a unique state institution in that has its own financial assets that can pay for the harm caused to sexual abuse victims.”

Strauss was a faculty member, athletics doctor and student health center physician. He served as the wrestling team doctor when Congressman Jim Jordan worked as an assistant coach. Jordan has denied accusations that he knew about the abuse but failed to report it.

Like other low-level university employees, Jordan’s name does not appear in the report.

Jordan’s spokesman said in a written statement: “The investigators concluded what we have said from the beginning: Congressman Jordan never knew of any abuse, and if he had he would have dealt with it. As illustrated in the report, Investigators ‘did not identify any other contemporaneous documentary evidence indicating that members of the OSU coaching staff, including head coaches or assistant coaches, received or were aware of complaints regarding Strauss’ sexual misconduct.’”

In a system-wide email sent Friday, Ohio State University President Michael Drake said: “On behalf of the university, we offer our profound regret and sincere apologies to each person who endured Strauss’ abuse. Our institution’s fundamental failure at the time to prevent this abuse was unacceptable -- as were the inadequate efforts to thoroughly investigate complaints raised by students and staff members.”

Strauss’ misconduct started the first year at Ohio State with unusually long genital exams of athletes and a practice of showering with them in the gym locker room.

Sixteen students told investigators that Strauss solicited them to participate in private photography shoots or that the doctor photographed them in the locker room. Swimmers, gymnasts, soccer players and wrestlers reported that Strauss showered with them and leered at them in locker rooms.

“Despite the persistence, seriousness, and regularity” of athletes’ complaints, no meaningful action was taken until January 1996 when a patient at the student health center made a complaint, triggering an internal investigation by top administrators.

Strauss was fired as a university physician but remained as a tenured faculty member. Later he was given emeritus status when he voluntarily retired in March 1998.

Redacted from the report is information about an investigation by the State Medical Board of Ohio. That information is confidential under state law.

After leaving the university, Strauss opened an offcampus private men’s clinic, placed ads for the clinic in the student newspaper and hired OSU nursing students.

The abuse continued there, the report said.

In 1997, Strauss lobbied to be reinstated as a physician at OSU. The report has been forwarded to Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien, Columbus police and the attorney general.

Chamber of Commerce.

“There are many different ways to pay for it,” she said.

“You could have private-public partnerships. I know the Democrats will want to raise taxes. They want to raise taxes for everything.”

The Washington Post’s Seung Min Kim, Josh Dawsey and Mike DeBonis contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON POST PHOTO BY JABIN BOTSFORD

President Donald Trump walks on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., on May 17, 2019.

John Wagner The Washington Post

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump in a new interview accused Democrats of playing “a bit of game” on reaching an infrastructure deal, saying he fears they will portray him as favoring a tax increase to pay for major investments in roads, rail, airports and other projects.

In an excerpt of a Fox News interview scheduled to air in full on Sunday, Trump said he still favors a sizable investment in infrastructure.

“But I also think we’re being played by the Democrats a little bit,” Trump said. “You know, I think what they want me to do is say, ‘Well what we’ll do is raise taxes,’ and we’ll do this and this and this, and then they’ll have a news conference, [where they’ll say] ‘See, Trump wants to raise taxes.’ So it’s a little bit of a game.”

Trump’s comments came ahead of a planned meeting next week with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to talk about how to finance what both he and the Democratic leaders agreed during an initial meeting late last month is a need for $2 trillion in new spending.

The plan has since lost momentum, with Republicans balking at the hefty price tag.

The Washington Post reported that after the first meeting between Trump and the Democrats, his own chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, was telling people inside and outside the administration that the effort is too expensive and unlikely to succeed.

“If Mick Mulvaney said that, then he has no right to say that,” Trump said in the Fox interview. “He tells me he

didn’t say that, and he didn’t mean it. He said it’s going to be hard to finance.”

Finding $2 trillion in federal funds is a tall order.

According to a December analysis from the Congressional Budget Office, raising fuel tax rates by 35 cents and pegging them to rise with inflation would generate only about a quarter of the necessary revenue over 10 years. Since 1993, the rates have remained at 18.4 cents per gallon of gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon of diesel fuel, and recent Democratic proposals to raise them have been far less ambitious.

Getting the remaining $1.5 trillion would involve much more significant tax increases, and Democrats have not been shy about eyeing the recent Republican tax cuts that disproportionately benefited corporations and wealthy individuals. But even fully reversing the corporate income tax cut, which dropped the rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, would not close the gap, and many Democrats are unwilling to go that far.

Trump, who campaigned on addressing the nation’s aging infrastructure, unveiled a plan last year focused on public-private partnerships that received a cool reception from members of both parties, who questioned the viability of relying on states, localities and the private sector to cover the bulk of its $1.5 trillion cost.

White House aides have said Trump is open to considering an increase in the federal fuel tax. But earlier this month, Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president, told reporters that Trump had not endorsed the idea, which is backed by some Democrats and business groups, including the U.S.

Spring, oh glorious spring Ah, spring! Glorious spring!

The flowers are blooming — the marsh marigolds, cattails and water lilies are doing well. The birds are back. I just watched a robin wearing a wet suit pull a worm wearing a snorkel out of the swamp that passes for our backyard.

April showers bring May flowers — but enough already, it’s almost June and the rains can stop any time now.

The creeks and my sinuses are both overflowing. It does stop raining a couple of days a week so I can mow the grass.

Thank heavens I found that pontoon attachment for my lawn tractor.

The sun comes out, the grass dries. I watch the gleam of standing water disappear and wait — it starts to look like a snowstorm in January.

The poplar fluff has dried out and taken to the air — time to mow.

I like blossoms on most trees — they mean that apples, cherries, pears and other good things are on the way.

Some trees are just annoying though. The maples start it off, pretty little red flowers one day and then the air is full with winged seeds helicoptering their way to the ground everywhere, giving me maple seedlings to pull out of the gardens and gutters for the next year.

The poplar trees are the worst — pretty white flowers and then the air is full of flying fluff. What looks like bellybutton lint floats everywhere.

Clouds of the fluff floats up behind my mower. I inhale the stuff, causing sneezing fits that endanger any flower beds in the tractor’s path. I try breathing through my mouth; it doesn’t help, I just suck in larger amounts of the stuff.

The sneezing stops but I have

BROOKS to stop frequently to hack up a hair ball of the fuzzy fluff.

Fortunately, just as it starts to get really annoying, it starts to rain again.

Then there’s the weed wacking to be done. We have an electric battery powered one that the Queen has learned to operate well; and an old reliable, a gas-powered one that can deal with our abundant crop of crabgrass.

This is my machine, it’s never let me down, usually starting on the first or second pull. I gassed it up, choked it, primed it and pulled the cord.

Nothing! It would start on the next pull as usual, I assumed.

Second pull, nothing — third pull — fourth pull — fifth pull — sixth pull and so on for a hundred or so times. Nothing.

I pulled harder and faster, still nothing. I was out of breath and my hand hurt. Time to quit. Breath came back, hand still hurt and started to swell.

A trip to EmUrgent Care where x-rays showed a broken bone.

Won’t have to worry about weed wacking for a while.

You know, looking back on winter, it really wasn’t so bad.

Snow doesn’t usually have to be shoveled two or three times a week and all that fluff in the air melts when you inhale the stuff.

Nah! The sun feels good and

Hunting and guns under attack in New York extreme positions include that school archery and trap shooting programs promote gun violence when the exact opposite is the case. Programs like the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) and rifle and shotgun marksmanship teams are Olympic sports that boost self-esteem and build character.

They are mentoring programs that stress inclusion, self-worth, and positive values. Assemblywoman Glick, (D) of Manhattan, cites on her website that since guns are used in target programs and guns are involved in deaths of citizens, the program needs to be banned. That’s like banning driver’s ed because people die in car accidents.

It’s time sportsmen realize that such bills are not based on facts or logic. The end game for those who disagree with hunting and the shooting sports is to ban hunting and confiscate our firearms. It has always been the goal. When in power, open calls for such bans are

There are too many bills to list here currently pending in the New York State Legislature that are seeking to ban or seriously restrict hunting and gun ownership in our state.

While many don’t have that great a chance of going forward, some have already been passed. Examples of a few of the most egregious pending bills include a ban on school marksmanship programs (including archery), a ban on hunting contests and the use of dogs in hunting, eliminating DEC’s pheasant stocking program, making hunted and trapped wildlife species subject to animal cruelty laws, and a prohibition on gun dealers operating near daycare centers or schools.

These are just a few of the attacks on the sporting life so many of us enjoy. Most, but not all of the bills originate from assembly and senate members from Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island.

GREENVILLE — The two best Patroon Conference softball teams faced off on Thursday and it was a battle right up until the final out was recorded.

The Chatham Panthers defeated the Greenville Spartans, 7-6, to win the Patroon championship.

Chatham finishes 13-1 in the conference, while Greenville is 11-2 with one makeup game on its schedule.

Both teams fought until the end, with Chatham just holding off a two-run surge from Greenville in the bottom of the seventh.

Chatham plated single runs in each of the first three innings, one of the runs coming on a solo home run to center field by Sydney Putnam.

Greenville got two runs back in the fourth, but Chatham added a single run in the fifth to make it 4-2. The Spartans drew even with two runs in the bottom of the sixth, but Chatham broke the deadlock with three more runs in the seventh.

Chatham wraps up Patroon baseball championship

By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

GREENVILLE — Kaleb Taylor went 4 for 4 with a double and two RBI to highlight a 17-hit attack as Chatham wrapped up the 2019 Patroon Conference baseball championship on Thursday with a 21-1 victory over Greenville.

The game was stopped after five innings.

The Panthers finish their Patroon schedule with a 14-2 record, one game ahead of secondplace finisher Coxsackie-Athens (13-3).

“There were a lot of great moments during our regular season that led us to the Patroon championship,” Chatham coach Scott Steltz said. “A lot of the credit goes to the players because they bought in from day one and did everything our coaching staff asked of them.

“The glaring factors that stick out to me the most about this year’s team are: “1. Their deep friendships and commitment to each other. They are a very unselfish team.

“2. The second biggest factor was our coaching staff. Adding two Chatham Baseball legends to the staff made a world of difference.

Coach Gregg and Coach Kraham are revered by every player on our team and all have full trust in them. Their level of knowledge and coaching

“A huge bonus for me is having former players (who know the expectations in and out) by

“3. The last factor of our success was having families who had complete trust in us and supported our decisions. Those components make my job enjoyable and easy.

Williamson has the power, the right and options to avoid Pelicans if he wishes Greg Cote Miami Herald

The biggest story of this week’s NBA draft lottery was the Knicks losing out on Zion Williamson because everything revolves around New York, according to New York.

Much of the rest of the nation delighted in Knicks fans’ misery, in Stephen A. Smith’s bombastic incredulity, in all of the videos and tweets and GIFs of anger, sadness and disbelief.

(Miami Heat fans especially reveled, their dislike of NYK dating to the rivalry going en fuego circa 1997-2000). The poor Knickerbockers spend the whole season tanking, carefully crafting the league’s worst record, only to find the tank empty of the one player it wanted.

And America brayed laughter.

The real story of this draft, though, is where Zion Williamson ended up, not where he didn’t.

And what’s next.

Williamson, the sensational 18-yearold Duke forward called the draft’s biggest, most marketable prize since LeBron James, was headed to New Orleans when the lucky Pelicans leaped to No. 1 in the lottery over six teams with greater mathematical odds.

But would he remain a Pelican?

Might he return to Duke? Could he force a trade? A tsunami of speculation ensued.

Chances all along were that Williamson would respect the draft and begin his career in NOLA, though clearly he wanted to go to New York as most thought he would. Big Apple for Big Easy was not a swap he preferred. The New York stage to the NBA’s secondsmallest market was not a step down he envisioned. As ESPN’s Rachel Nichols put it that night, Williamson “looked like he’d been hit by a truck” as the

MIKE LAWRIE/GETTY IMAGES

Zion Williamson speaks during a news conference after being awarded the USBWA Oscar Robertson Trophy Player of the Year prior to the 2019 NCAA men’s Final Four at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on April 5.

Pelicans won the lottery, won him.

The idea Williamson will end up on the Bayou, after all, became a bit more likely Thursday morning when the player’s stepfather, Lee Anderson, appeared on the Off The Bench radio show in Baton Rouge, called Zion “excited about the prospect of getting down there and getting settled,” adding that returning to Duke “is not something that we have even considered.”

Stepdad might be right. Stepdad might not speak for Zion. We’re not sure.

What we do know is that the lottery pingpong balls did not bounce the way Williamson prefers, and he has options.

He has power here. With LeBron James and Kevin Durant at the forefront, players wield more control than we see in other sports. And the possibility of Zion exercising that muscle has been he talk of the NBA. OPTION 1: Williamson could return to Duke. He has until June 10 (10 days before the NBA draft) to decide. He remains eligible to return to college because he has not yet signed with an agent and he has not yet signed a sneaker deal.

OPTION 2: He could leverage the threat of returning to Duke to force the Pelicans to trade him to a preferred destination, a leverage that would all

but disappear after June 10 if he elected to not return to Duke. (Eli Manning did something similar in the 2004 NFL draft, selected by the San Diego Chargers, making it clear he would not play for them, and forcing a trade to the Giants).

OPTION 3: Williamson could withdraw from the draft, again, by June 10.

Instead of returning to Duke he could spend the next year working out on his own, joining Team USA, playing overseas, whatever, then re-enter the 2020 draft. Here again, though, he’d have no assurance of what team would get him a year from now.

Any of these options would turn Williamson from the most beloved basketball star in New Orleans since Pistol Pete Maravich to a forever-villain in the city. It would also cast him, depending on one’s view, as either a selfish star quaking the very foundation of the NBA — or a young man simply exercising his power and his rights.

What’s likely: Forget a return to Duke. Forget him sitting out a year and losing a season of his prime and all that money to gamble on the lottery a year from now.

He will leverage the Pelicans to trade the No. 1 pick prior to the draft, or stay put and insist he never wanted to play anywhere else, with pretty close odds on either happening.

The overarching point is that Zion Williamson has that leverage and power. He has the right to try to have a say in where he will live and launch his career.

Professional leagues should be worried, because their drafts — so fundamental to who they are and how they run their business — can be manipulated by athletes who have the greatness and the gumption to claim the power, and every right to do so.

Knicks interview 10 top prospects at NBA draft combine Steve Popper Newsday

CHICAGO — The Knicks’ front office contingent had already completed their interviews with the top prospects for their No. 3 pick as they arrived at the NBA draftcCombine Thursday afternoon, talking with 10 players to get a feel for what the measurements and games would not show.

And it might have seemed that what really stood between now and the June 20 NBA draft was to wait for the two teams ahead of them to make their selections and see who was left among what most consider a draft that falls off after the trio of Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and RJ Barrett.

But the real question may hinge on whether the third pick will belong to the Knicks by draft night or if it will be a chip in a deal to try to pry Anthony Davis from the Pelicans. New Orleans jumped to the top of the draft Tuesday, securing the top pick and the chance to pick Williamson, but there are still plenty of questions whether that will be enough to create a peaceful and long-term existence with Davis, who asked for a trade last season and ended his season walking out of the arena with a T-shirt that read, “That’s all Folks.”

“I think it was tough for everybody,” Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said Thursday.

“The fans. The team. Ownership. It was just a tough situation. I think that’ll be rectified and we’re bringing (VP of Basketball Operations David Griffin) aboard and we’re headed in the right direction as a franchise.”

While the line for Davis’ services figures to be long with some able to offer better packages, any Knicks deal would

likely begin with the No. 3 pick as well as some of the young players on the roster — think Mitchell Robinson, Kevin Knox and Dennis Smith Jr. — as well as some of the six firstround picks the Knicks possess over the next four drafts.

“I don’t believe anything or anyone is untouchable in our business,” Griffin said minutes after the lottery Tuesday.

“There’s a value for everything. I think there’s a situation in our league where most people try to shy away from big decisions because you can be wrong. That’s not how our organization’s going to operate. We’re going to do what’s best for us long term, whatever that looks like.”

Asked if he had a chance to talk to Davis since the lottery put them in position to draft Williamson — a player who had figured to be pursued by New Orleans in a trade if another team had secured the top spot — Gentry was vague.

“That one will be taken care of in time,” Gentry said. “It’s going to be fine. Everything is going to work out the way it should.”

The Knicks executives were on hand for the workouts but did not speak with the media.

But plenty of executives from other teams were willing to talk off the record — mostly to inquire about the constant rumors they were hearing about Kevin Durant possibly signing with the Knicks this summer.

If the Knicks were to get Durant and another star to team with him this summer on the free-agent market, it would make a deal for Davis more sensible — abandoning their youth movement they talked of last year in place of finding pieces to put around Durant, who will be 31 at the start of next season, and make a run at contending while he is in his

prime.

It was the Pelicans who sounded as if they were ready to start building the right way around Williamson now.

“We are building something

here,” Gentry said. “And it’s going to be something special. And it’s going to be something sustainable ... Something where we’re going to be good year after year after year.

It’s not, you’re good for two years and then that’s it. And Griff has done it before. He’s been in that situation. I think he’s really smart and he really knows how to build a team.”

Hudson 4, Catskill 3 CATSKILL — Nick Bernockie singled in Tanner Race with what proved to be the gamewinning run in the top of the seventh as Hudson edged Catskill, 4-3, in Thursday’s Patroon Conference baseball

game at Ricky Cramer Field.

With the scored knotted at 3-3, Race led off the top of the seventh by drawing a walk.

One out later, Bernockie’s base hit brought home Race with the go-ahead run.

The Riders led 3-2 entering the bottom of the sixth before the Sabres rallied. ICC crept to within one in the seventh when Camdyn Ames crushed

a home run to left field, but that would be as close as the Riders would get as Schalmont held on for the victory.

Joe Carnevale doubled for Schalmont. Jackson Defayette and Nick Vandenburg both had two singles, Kyle Mancino singled and drove in two runs, Anthony Rizzo and Nick Mesley each had a single and an RBI and Jack Wilkie singled.

2019 NBA mock draft: Projecting the lottery picks behind Zion Williamson Ben Golliver The Washington Post

The 2019 NBA Draft order is set, the Chicago combine is well underway, and this year’s prospects have begun interviewing with prospective suitors. That means it’s officially mock draft season.

Plenty can change between now and June 20, when Commissioner Adam Silver takes the stage at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center to reveal the selections, but here’s an early forecast of the 14 lottery picks.

1. New Orleans Pelicans: Zion Williamson, Duke Pelicans Coach Alvin Gentry was elated after Tuesday night’s lottery drawing, realizing that the 6-foot-7, 285-pound Williamson could “change everything” for a franchise overrun by Anthony Davis’s trade request. In post-lottery interviews, New Orleans seemed focus on what Williamson means for their re-recruiting efforts for Davis, who is entering the final year of his contract.

That’s a logical response in the moment. Now that the dust has settled, it looks like backward thinking. The Pelicans should be asking: What does Davis mean for Williamson? After all, Williamson will likely spend the next seven-plus years in New Orleans, and his freakish athleticism, team-first mentality, superior work ethic and two-way game make him a natural franchise player and fan favorite.

If Davis isn’t willing to recommit, and soon, the Pelicans should trade him to the highest bidder for young shooters and backcourt playmakers who will best complement Williamson’s game. Sustaining a top contender built around Williamson, given New Orleans’s long-standing struggles to attract free agents, will be infinitely harder if Davis leaves for nothing in free agency next summer. The New York Knicks, Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers can all dangle young prospects and/or lottery picks to help launch Williamson’s career the right way.

2. Memphis Grizzlies: Ja Morant, Murray State A lucky bounce of the lottery ping-pong balls shifted the Grizzlies’ entire organizational outlook in a split second. For months, Memphis seemed to hope that it would land outside the top eight picks so that a first-round pick it owes to the Boston Celtics would convey this year rather than in the future when it would be less protected. Now? The Grizzlies’ reshaped front office, led by Zachary Kleiman, can select Morant, a franchise point guard who looks like an ideal partner for 2018 lottery pick Jaren Jackson Jr. The 6-3 Morant should blossom into a prototypical modern lead guard, capable of scoring in transition, executing in the half-court and spreading the wealth with his superb passing ability. Mike Conley and Marc Gasol enjoyed a decade of success together as an inside/outside partnership in Memphis, and Morant and Jackson are ready to carry the torch. Speaking of Conley, landing the second pick sets up the Grizzlies to trade the 31-year-old point guard for a rebuilding package consisting of picks and prospects. Doing so would help the Grizzlies offset the future pick they owe to the Celtics and add another piece to a bubbling young core.

3. New York Knicks: RJ Barrett, Duke Barrett, a 6-7 wing who has been regarded as Canada’s next big prospect since early in his high school days, excels at inspiring strong opinions, both good and bad. His defenders love his natural scoring ability, his alpha dog mind-set, and his craftiness with the ball in his hands. Meanwhile, his detractors question his shot selection, shaky efficiency numbers and his ball-dominance.

Although Knicks fans were let down by

missing out on Williamson, landing the third pick was no small consolation prize.

New York can use it to draft Barrett to fill a massive hole on the wing, try to deploy it as the centerpiece of a Davis trade package, or dangle it to teams lower in the lottery who might be willing to move up for Barrett.

4. Los Angeles Lakers: Darius Garland, Vanderbilt Lakers General Manager Rob Pelinka called this pick a “powerful asset” after moving up in Tuesday’s lottery, and it’s no secret that his front office is desperate to construct a playoff-caliber roster around LeBron James as soon as possible. The fourth pick would make sense in a Davis deal, if New Orleans was willing to send him to L.A., or as the top piece in a trade for another secondary star.

Ironically, Garland, who played just five games this year before suffering a knee injury, would be a nice fit on the Lakers. The 6-2 point guard is a strong outside shooter who orchestrates well in pick-and-roll situations. If the Lakers were willing to be patient, Garland could become a secondary playmaker for James, a legitimate perimeter weapon on a team that shot poorly from outside, and a good reason to move Lonzo Ball to a more appropriate off-guard role.

5. Cleveland Cavaliers: Jarrett Culver, Texas Tech New Coach John Beilein has his hands full trying to turn around an organization left for dead by LeBron James last summer.

After a dismal 19-win season, the Cavaliers must subscribe to a “Best Player Available” draft philosophy to add talent next to second-year guard Collin Sexton. At the same time, they must target players with the right mental makeup and team approach given that they are likely headed for a multiyear rebuilding effort.

Culver, a versatile 6-6 wing, checks both boxes. The preacher’s son might lack the explosive athleticism to become a top-tier superstar, but his two-way game should make him a very good long-term pro. A capable scorer and initiator, Culver should be able to guard multiple positions too.

6. Phoenix Suns: De’Andre Hunter, Virginia The Suns have desperately needed a point guard for years, but then again they’ve desperately needed a lot of things for years. Assuming both Morant and Garland are off the board, Phoenix’s best play is to draft Hunter, the Cavaliers’ NCAA championship game star. The 6-8 forward is a defensive stalwart who can help shore up the league’s second-worst defense and provide cover for star guard Devin Booker.

7. Chicago Bulls: Coby White, UNC Chicago’s front office hasn’t been shy about expressing its desire to upgrade the point guard position in light of Kris Dunn’s limited offensive utility and recurring injury issues. In a best-case scenario, the Bulls could move this pick for a veteran point guard like Conley. If that fails, White is a dynamic on-ball threat who can grow with Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr. 8. Atlanta Hawks: Brandon Clarke, Gonzaga Clarke emerged Wednesday as one of the combine’s standouts , ranking highly on lateral quickness and vertical leaping.

Although his offensive game is mostly limited to finishing in the basket area and making simple reads out of the pick-androll, the 6-8 forward would be a great target for Trae Young given his mobility and ultraefficient scoring. It’s easy to envision Atlanta using the 22-year-old, NBA-ready big man as an undersized, high-energy center off the bench.

9. Washington Wizards: Cam Reddish, Duke The Wizards were one of the biggest

losers on draft lottery night: Not only did they come within one ping-pong ball of winning the top pick, but the Pelicans, Grizzlies and Lakers leapfrogged them too.

After barely missing out on Williamson, perhaps they can lick their wounds with Reddish, his Duke teammate.

Taking the 19-year-old wing in the top five, where many expected he would fall at the beginning of the college season, would require a leap of faith considering his underwhelming efficiency and weak finishing numbers in college. At nine, though, he would represent good value. Washington has a hole to plug after the Otto Porter Jr. salary dump, though, and Reddish has an NBA-ready frame.

10. Atlanta Hawks (from Dallas Mavericks): Jaxson Hayes, Texas This pick arrives in Atlanta thanks to last year’s Luka Doncic for Trae Young trade.

While the Hawks were probably hoping it would land higher than this before the season started, they won’t be complaining about a second top-10 selection. Alex Len provided good minutes last season, but the 6-11 Hayes projects as the type of run-and-dunk rim-protector that is often coveted by playoff teams. Getting forcefed lobs by Trae Young for the next fourplus years would make this a dream fit any center.

11. Minnesota Timberwolves: Romeo Langford, Indiana As new team president Gersson Rosas settles in, he’s bound to conclude that he’s inheriting a roster that’s loaded with holes around franchise center Karl-Anthony Towns. Frankly, the 11th pick isn’t going to be enough to turn this ship around.

Even so, Langford, a classic bucket-getting wing, could help boost an offense that was mediocre last season despite Towns’s reliable 24/12 production.

12. Charlotte Hornets: Nassir Little, UNC The Hornets are at a crossroads with Kemba Walker heading to free agency after yet another lottery trip. If Walker leaves, they will be in crisis mode at the point guard spot. If he stays, Charlotte will be back trying to shuffle the deck chairs and bad contracts to get over the hump.

Given that Michael Jordan and company won’t find a Walker replacement this far down the board, should they default to “Best Tar Heel Available” by tabbing Little as a Nicolas Batum understudy? The 19-year-old Little entered the season as a projected top-five pick because of his athleticism, versatility and perimeter shooting potential.

13. Miami Heat: Rui Hachimura, Gonzaga The Heat have long valued strong, physical and versatile frontcourt players; Hachimura fits that mold perfectly. The 6-8 Hachimura isn’t the smoothest operator or decision-maker, but he projects as a power forward who can punish smaller matchups by scoring inside while also defending multiple positions on the perimeter. Some scouts believe Hachimura will be able to extend his shooting from the midrange out to the three-point line, a development that would significantly raise his ceiling.

14. Boston Celtics (from Sacramento Kings): Bol Bol, Oregon The 7-3 Bol has slipped down draft boards after missing most of his freshman season with a foot injury. In an ideal world, Bol, the son of former NBA center Manute Bol, will develop into a three-point shooting, shot-blocking unicorn. Whether he can stay healthy, hold up to an NBA minutes load, and effectively cover ground defensively against smaller lineups all remain open questions. This pick is free money for the Celtics and they could afford to be patient with his development.

Deontay Wilder’s talk of wanting to kill a man in the ring is ‘regrettable,’ says WBC head Des Bieler The Washington Post

The head of the World Boxing Council took to social media Thursday to decry recent comments by Deontay Wilder in which the sanctioning body’s heavyweight champion suggested he wanted to kill a man in the ring. Wilder issued the threat toward Dominic Breazeale, a longtime rival and his opponent in a title fight on Saturday.

Among the remarks Wilder (40-0-1) made on Tuesday in reference to Breazeale (20-1) were these: “His life is on the line for this fight, and I do mean his life. I’m still trying to get me a body on my record.”

“This is the only sport where you can kill a man and get paid for it at the same time,” Wilder added.

“It’s legal, so why not use my right to do so?”

“I have seen Deontay Wilder comments which are regrettable and completely against the spirit of our sport,” WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman‫‏‬ said Thursday on Twitter.

“I have known Wilder for a long time and he is not the person he portrays in such comments.

“His metaphors are against the WBC code of ethics and will be addressed in a hearing.”

Wilder and Breazeale have a history of bad blood that dates back to Feb. 2017, when they fought separate opponents on a card headlined by Wilder in Birmingham, Alabama.

According to Wilder, the man he beat by technical knockout, Gerald Washington, was being cheered on by Breazeale, who later that evening threatened Wilder’s brother at a Birmingham hotel.

“He told my brother, and it was confirmed by other people that was around, that Breazeale made the statement that, ‘I’ll kill you. If my family wasn’t here, I’d kill you and your entire family.’ “ Wilder told USA Today this week. “And I don’t take threats lightly.”

Breazeale has disputed that version of events, including at a news conference Thursday promoting their fight. “Saturday night, he’s gonna pay for every lie he’s made up,” Breazeale said of Wilder.

What is certain about the incident is that a skirmish that was captured on video broke out at the

hotel. Since then, Wilder has made a point of speaking extremely harshly about Breazeale.

In his interview with USA Today, Wilder made an unsettling reference to “Rocky IV” in saying of his upcoming opponent, “If he dies, he dies.” The 33-year-old, who began his career with 39 knockouts in 40 wins before settling for a draw against Tyson Fury in December, added, “This is boxing. This is not a gentleman’s sport. This is a gladiator’s sport.”

In 2018, Wilder said of a possible matchup with Breazeale, “When it do happen, I’ma make sure he brings his son up on the stage to look the man in the eye that’s gonna cripple his daddy.” Breazeale quickly responded by calling for the fight to happen, saying (via talksport.com), “Be a man, step up, get the paperwork done, send the contract over. You and I, we can square this off in the ring and you’ll lose the only thing you’ve ever had good in your life. My revenge is coming.”

Of his antagonist’s recent comments, Breazeale said Wednesday (via boxingnews24.com), “Wilder has said some crazy stuff.

I don’t think he means it.

I think he’s in a situation where he’s got to talk, because he’s not comfortable with what he’s doing.

He’s got to build himself up by saying ‘I’m going to do this, and I’m going to do that.’

“I know he can’t have a body on his record,” continued Breazeale, a 33-year-old who has 18 knockouts and whose only loss came in 2016 to WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. “Let him say what he wants. That’s like a little chihuahua barking and barking.”

“Hey, Dominic Breazeale asked for this,” Wilder told reporters on Tuesday. “I didn’t go seek him, he [sought] me, so if [death] comes, it comes.

This is a brutal sport, this is not a gentleman’s sport.

I keep saying, this is not a gentleman’s sport. We don’t ask to hit each other in the face, but we does anyway.

“You can ask any doctor around the world, and he’ll tell you the head isn’t supposed to be hit. Anybody can go, and in this particular time we have bad blood against each other.”

Expert Picks: Who Will Win the Preakness?

Joe Drape and Melissa Hoppert The New York Times News Service

Maximum Security was disqualified as the winner of the Kentucky Derby on May 4 after stewards determined he had interfered with other horses. The decision gave the victory instead to the 65-1 shot Country House. Both will be sitting out the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, making it the first time in 23 years that there will be no Triple Crown on the line at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.

The Preakness horses are listed in order of post position, with comments

by Joe Drape and Melissa Hoppert of The New York Times. The morningline odds were set by Keith Feustle of Pimlico.

144th PREAKNESS STAKES How to watch: Coverage on Saturday begins on NBC Sports Network at 2 p.m. Eastern, and continues on NBC at 5. Coverage will also be streamed on NBC Sports Live.

War of Will Trainer: Mark Casse. Jockey: Tyler Gaffalione. Odds: 4-1.

DRAPE: This colt lost all chance in the Kentucky Derby when he tangled with Maximum Security. It had to take something out of him.

HOPPERT: The seventh-place Derby finisher can’t catch a break: a stumble in Louisiana, a rumble in Kentucky and back-to-back No. 1 posts. Imagine what he could do with a clean trip.

2. Bourbon War Trainer: Mark Hennig. Jockey: Irad Ortiz Jr. Odds: 12-1.

DRAPE: He likes running from the

back of the pack and has a strong closing kick. A lot has to go right for him to win this.

HOPPERT: He closed hard for fourth in the Florida Derby, behind Maximum Security, Bodexpress and Code of Honor (second in Derby), and has Ortiz in the saddle. Leave him off your tickets at your own peril.

3. Warrior’s Charge Trainer: Brad Cox. Jockey: Javier Castellano. Odds: 12-1.

DRAPE: He has won his last two gate-to-wire. He is stepping up in company here, but this isn’t a Derby-caliber bunch.

HOPPERT: This pacesetter won his last two by a combined 12-1/2 lengths, but he won’t be as dominant in his first graded stakes race.

4. Improbable Trainer: Bob Baffert. Jockey: Mike Smith. Odds: 5-2.

DRAPE: A very talented colt who has failed to get to the finish line first this year. This underachiever is the morning-line favorite. No thank you.

HOPPERT: The fourth-place Derby finisher has Baffert, tied for most Preakness wins with seven, and Big Money Smith on his side. Hard to bet against that.

5. Owendale Trainer: Brad Cox. Jockey: Florent Geroux. Odds: 10-1.

DRAPE: This colt is fast, maturing and well rested. In a field with no standouts, he is worth a shot.

HOPPERT: An impressive rally in the Lexington Stakes, with Geroux in the irons for the first time, makes him an intriguing choice.

6. Market King Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas. Jockey: Jon Court. Odds: 30-1.

DRAPE: Over a storied Hall of Fame career, Lukas has won plenty of races he should not have with what, at least on paper, appeared to be hopeless long shots.

HOPPERT: Lukas has six Preakness victories, but this horse, who has won once in eight tries, will not land him a seventh.

7. Alwaysmining Trainer: Kelly Rubley. Jockey: Daniel Centeno. Odds: 8-1.

DRAPE: There’s always a local horse in this race whom Marylanders invest their hearts and dollars in. This one may actually win.

HOPPERT: He has won six straight at Laurel and has a better shot than recent hometown favorites at becoming the first Maryland-bred to win the Preakness since 1983.

8. Signalman Trainer: Kenny McPeek. Jockey: Brian Hernandez Jr. Odds: 30-1.

DRAPE: This colt is a live long shot in a wide-open race. His morning workouts have been eye-catching, and he might be sitting on a big one.

HOPPERT: He’s a hard-trying type who just missed qualifying for the Derby, finishing a close third in the Blue Grass. That said, he’s a step slower than most of his competitors.

9. Bodexpress Trainer: Gustavo Delgado. Jockey: John Velazquez. Odds: 20-1.

A recent example is several elected officials who are democrat candidates for president have called for the door to door confiscation of guns they don’t like. Of course, they won’t stop there because they don’t like any guns so eventually they’ll try to get to all of them.

In New York, sportsmen can no longer sit on the fence and wait for someone else to save their second amendment rights, and right to hunt, trap and fish.

Girlfriend is surprised to learn man is still married I am currently dating someone, and although it hasn’t been that long, so far everything has been great. We each have two children from previous relationships. We have discussed the topic of marriage, having a child of our own and have even conDEAR ABBY sidered adoption.

One day he told me he wanted to tell me something.

He ended up saying that before going into the military years ago, he “had” to marry his ex. Problem is, although they have lived apart for three years, she isn’t his ex. They are still married. He said they have no interest in being together and have both moved on. When I asked when he plans to divorce her, he said he hasn’t had the financial capability to do so. I don’t know how to take this news. Any advice?

Thrown In Nevada

JEANNE PHILLIPS

You need more information. Has this man been supporting his ex all this time, or is she self-supporting? Who is supporting the children? How much money does he think he will owe her if they divorce?

I’m not familiar with the divorce laws in Nevada, but an attorney who is licensed to practice there will be. It would be very much worth your while to make an appointment with one to discuss what your boyfriend has told you.

You should do it before becoming any more involved with him.

I’m writing in the hope you’ll print my letter and, with your response, raise awareness about male breast cancer. A male family member was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and in addition to the issues everyone recently diagnosed with cancer goes through, there are additional issues causing stress.

Because male breast cancer is so rare, all the pamphlets and information are aimed at women. As a result, my relative feels very alone. Besides family, he doesn’t want anyone, including members of his church, to know his diagnosis because he’s afraid of what they will think. Encouragement such as telling him his friends can offer additional support and prayers has gone nowhere so far.

Abby, can you share with your readers some information and resources for men with breast cancer? We would be very grateful.

Caring Family Member There is information about breast cancer in men online. If your relative will visit cancer. org and search on male breast cancer, he will discover an abundance of information on the subject. For suggestions about support groups, he should call the American Cancer Society’s helpline: 800-227-2345. Your family member is NOT alone. I wish him a speedy and complete recovery.

Stick with doctor’s treatment of atrial fibrillation I am an 87-year-old man in good health.

Recently my physician discovered that I was having atrial fibrillation. I had no symptoms.

My pulse was 80. He placed me on Eliquis twice daily, which I am taking. I feel fine, but I dislike taking anticoagulants and prefer other treatment for my condition. Is there other treatment you recommend?

Atrial fibrillation is a common TO YOUR rhythm disturbance. Treatment GOOD HEALTH is designed to reduce symptoms, prevent heart damage from too fast a heart rate, and prevent a stroke from a blood clot. Since you have had no symptoms and your heart rate is normal, you need no therapy to control your heart rate. However, you are at increased risk for stroke just because you are over 75 years old, and oral anticoagulation from apixaban (Eliquis) or another agent is strongly recommended. Without treatment, you have about a 4% risk of stroke per year. With treatment, your risk is only about 1%. It’s much riskier NOT to take the medicine.

DR. KEITH ROACH

I am a 61-year-old woman who is gluten sensitive. Thus, I eat a number of gluten-free products to replace wheat and other grains in my diet. How safe is it to eat these products, which are mainly made from brown rice flour?

I’m concerned that the amount of arsenic I am consuming may be dangerous.

Rice can contain higher levels of inorganic arsenic, a toxic metal, than most other cereal foods.

This is particularly important for people with celiac disease, who often consume more rice than other people. Here are some things you should know to reduce arsenic exposure: — Rinsing and draining rice before cooking can reduce arsenic consumed by 50 percent. Consider cooking rice in more water than needed, draining excess water after cooking.

— Brown rice tends to have more arsenic than white.

—Rice from California, India and Pakistan tends to have less arsenic than rice from Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.

It’s also important to use multiple other grains. Try grains like quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth and sorghum, and the flours made from them.

I’m a 79-year-young female and take one 200mg tablet of magnesium oxide before bedtime to keep leg cramps at bay. I sleep really deeply and wonder if it has side effects or long-term consequences? I’m generally not a sound sleeper, so taking the MagOx daily seems to help me get a good night’s rest.

Magnesium oxide in the low dose of 200 mg is quite safe for most people. It is often used as an antacid at up to four times that dose. Diarrhea is the major side effect. In people with kidney disease, magnesium should be used with caution, and only at the advice of a physician.

It doesn’t help everyone with leg cramps, but it is effective for some people, anecdotally. I have not heard of it making people sleep more deeply.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are a singularly creative individual with tremendous drive and vision and the ability to turn the mere shell of an idea into something three-dimensional and complex. You enjoy all manner of endeavors, from the private to the very public, from solo work to group efforts, from the sublime to the ridiculous. It’s engagement and involvement that you are after, and as long as you feel you are being afforded the opportunity to express yourself and work to peak capacity, then you will be happy. You are not after notoriety, fame, fortune or praise; you are after something that comes only from doing a thing that feels right over the long haul. You are after an inner contentment that no one will ever be able to take from you — and you may have it.

You see attention as a means to an end, and you will endure it as long as it pays off for you. You are perfectly willing to pay a high price for the things you want, but the thing you most want, above all else, is something that you may find for free, and that is a happy, contented, long-term love. It’s yours to find — and to enjoy.

Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu?

Don’t knock it till you see it

By KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY

t may be surprising, to put it mildly, to read a review of “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu” that also mentions “Blade Runner.” (More on this later.) But in a world where goldfish turn into dragons and baby dinosaurs walk the streets with tails aflame, stranger things have been known to happen.

For the uninitiated, Pokémon are mythical creatures of varying types that each have special abilities. (Ask your local 10-year-old to list a few of the many species and their powers.) Working with human trainers, they battle one another for supremacy by using their powers to attack opponents. The phenomenon started in the 1990s with video games, evolving into a cartoon series, a card game and eventually the ever-present cultural juggernaut it is today. “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu,” the first live-action/ animated entry into the canon, is only the latest fuel to keep the fire burning — and the money flowing.

“Detective Pikachu” takes the mostly cuddly creatures out of the ring and puts them on the streets of a place called Ryme City, where Pokémon and people live together in relative harmony. The story starts outside the city limits, with Tim Goodman (Justice Smith), a 22-year-old insurance adjuster who has given up his dream of becoming a champion Pokémon trainer.

After the death of his father in a mysterious accident, Tim heads to Ryme City to set his dad’s affairs in order, only to discover an amnesiac Pokémon lurking in his father’s office: It’s the yellow, rodent-like critter

known as Pikachu. Though Pokémon can normally only articulate variations of their own names — e.g., pika pika, delivered here by the original voice of the cartoon Pikachu, Ikue Otani — this particular specimen (voiced by Ryan Reynolds) can talk. He convinces Tim to try to get to the bottom of his father’s death.

Here’s where “Blade Runner” comes in.

Just as Ridley Scott created a film-noir vision of the future — all neon lights and crowded streets — director Rob Letterman (“Monsters vs. Aliens”) has rendered a dizzyingly complex and visually dazzling Ryme City. “Detective Pikachu” embraces other noir tropes as well, down to the film’s snappy dialogue and trenchcoat-clad femme (not quite) fatale: a BuzzFeed-style journalist (Kathryn Newton) who compiles Pokémon listicles, yet aspires to bigger things.

It’s a clever kind of world-building. The film’s Pokémon — all of whom are CGI — look so real you’ll want to reach out and cuddle them, especially Pikachu. That verisimilitude makes “Detective Pikachu” feel like See REYNOLDS C2

‘Mortal Kombat 11’ lives up to its reputation: Brash, fun and terribly violent

By CHRISTOPHER BYRD Washington Post

‘MORTAL KOMBAT 11’

“Can you believe that we’re playing a ‘Mortal Kombat’ game?” my friend Milton asked as we dove into the new “Mortal Kombat 11.”

It has been 20 years since he and I went to college together. Back then we played a serious amount of “Mortal Kombat 3” and “Mortal Kombat 4” on the Super Nintendo and the N64, respectively. Though I got into fighting games via “Street Fighter 2,” my fighting game skills plateaued with those two MK games. My friends and I used to play them with a guidebook on our laps

DEVELOPED BY: NetherRealm Studios PUBLISHED BY: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment AVAILABLE ON: Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

which we used to memorize long combo-strings and fatalities. At the height of our mania, MK became for us an almost-purely cerebral experience where we’d try to guess each other other’s strategy, then switch up the tempo of a game on the fly.

It was our chess.

I skipped Mortal Kombats

5 through 10, and the world has changed since I last caught up with my old goto characters Kitana, SubZero, and Kabal. (Some of the other characters have had children that are in the new game.) But I was able to quickly get back into the flow thanks, in part, to “Mortal Kombat 11’s” robust tutorial system, and my memory of all those quarter-circle, halfcircle, and back-to-forward button patterns that are staples of fighting games in general.

I was off to a decent start the first night Milton and I played a few online matches WARNER BROS. INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT

Virtually pain free EASING SUFFERING:

Virtual reality being used as pain therapy

I

was packing up at the end of a family vacation in Florida when my back went into an excruciating spasm unrelieved by a fistful of pain medication. As my twin sons, then 8 years old, wheeled me through the airport, one of them suggested, “Mom, if you think about something else, it won’t hurt so much.”

At the time, I failed to appreciate the wisdom of his advice. Now, four decades later, a sophisticated distraction technique is being used to help patients of all ages cope with pain, both acute and chronic. The method, called Virtual Reality Therapy, goes beyond simple distraction, as might result from watching television. Rather, it totally immerses the patient in an entertaining, relaxing, interactive environment that so occupies the brain, it has no room to process pain sensations at the same time.

“It’s not just a distraction — it’s like an endogenous narcotic providing a physiological and chemical burst that causes you to feel good,” said Jeffrey I. Gold, director of the pediatric pain management clinic at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. “It’s different from reading a book or playing with a toy.

It’s a multisensory experience that engages a person’s attention on a much deeper level.”

Virtual Reality Therapy is the new kid on the block for pain management, now gradually growing in use as the opioid epidemic continues to soar and the price of the needed equipment has plummeted. VR, as it is called, has been most widely and successfully used so far to help children and adults weather acute pain, as can accompany an IV insertion or debridement of burns. But it can also enhance the effectiveness of established techniques like physical

until he showed me, or rather whooped me, with a fatal blow, a new addition to the series. Fatal blows, which are not necessarily fatal, are devastating moves that can only be pulled off once per threeround match. Pressing the left and right triggers when your character’s health is low unleashes a pulverizing move that can forcefully turn the tide of battle.

Sub-Zero’s fatal blow sees him wedge two ice axes into the sides of his opponent’s torso, then conjure a third ax that he plants into their skull, pulls down to their chest, and then spins their body overhead bringing it crashing into the ground. The first time I pulled off a fatal blow and Milton immediately followed suit, I lost the match because the cumulative violence left me too stunned to concentrate.

NEW YORK TIMES

JANE BRODY therapy, hypnosis and cognitive behavioral therapy to treat debilitating chronic pain.

Hollie Davis, a 41-year-old resident of High Point, North Carolina, owes her current full mobility and cheerful disposition to a therapist at BreakThrough Physical Therapy in Greensboro, North Carolina, part of a network of outpatient physical therapy clinics run by Confluent Health.

The therapist suggested she try VR as part of her treatment for persistent, life-inhibiting pain following a motorcycle accident. Months after suffering a concussion and extremely painful bruising when a car struck her motorcycle, “the prediction that I’d get better with time just wasn’t happening,” she told me.

“I found VR fascinating. I spent 10 or 20 minutes in a dark room while a head-mounted 3D screen transported me to a very relaxing place, taught me about the nature of pain, how oxygen travels through the body, then how to breathe, focus on my breathing, relax my body and think of nothing else.”

The device engages multiple senses, essentially flooding the brain with so much input that it cannot register pain signals. When pain messages try to get through, “the brain gives a busy signal,” Hunter Hoffman, director of the VR research center at the University of Washington in Seattle, said.

As a tool for overcoming pain and fear of an injection or IV insertion, for example, children may strive to earn points by launching Nerf balls at teddy bears on one VR program, Gold said.

two fan-shaped blades horizontally into the ninja Scorpion. One slices apart his midsection and the other takes off his head. As far as the fatalities in “Mortal Kombat 11” go, it’s one of the less sensational. Of course, the series has long trafficked in fantastically gruesome aesthetics. (Of those that have seen it, who can forget Liu Kang turning into a dragon and chomping people in half in “Mortal Kombat 2?”)

The violence is there to be gawped at and talked about.

The mutilated bodies are so conspicuous that it seems unreasonable to imagine anyone playing MK, or watching it for 10 minutes, who isn’t OK with its outlandish gore. Personally, I have a fairly high tolerance for violence between recyclable video game characters who can be eviscerated only to reappear in pristine shape a second later. Even so, there were times that I was left slack jawed by the close-up piercings, stabbings, and guttings in “Mortal Kombat 11” . . . kudos to the developers.

Though I sometimes gasped, my friend and I mostly guffawed over the ridiculous

GRACIA LAM/NEW YORK TIMES

Virtual reality is more than a distraction, researchers say. It’s more like a brain hack that occupies the brain so fully that it has no room to process pain at the same time.

One of the first VR programs, called SnowWorld, was designed by Hoffman for treating burn patients, who often say “getting their wounds cleaned is like being burned again,” he said. The virtual snowy environment is a stark contrast with the cause of their burns.

Of course, if the treatment of persistent pain only involved virtual reality, once the headset and its computerized program are removed, the pain can and would return. Larry Benz, a physical therapist and chief executive of Confluent Health, explained, “VR is not a cure — it’s an adjunct to other methods that we know work” but that often involve many months of costly treatment and still may not achieve a desired result.

“Using VR as an adjunct, we can teach coping skills, techniques patients can use on their own that will help diminish chronic pain,” Hoffman said. “Learning changes the brain and gives patients something that continues to work when they take the helmet

violence. If you don’t think you’d laugh seeing a character kick a hole into another’s chest then position her face in front of that empty space and make a heart sign with her fingers, then obviously this isn’t for you. I suppose it’s because I read comic books as a kid that this type of stylized action reads as fiendishly clever, but ultimately benign, in my eyes.

The whole thing is so escapist that I’m indifferent to its shock tactics.

In addition to the fatal blows, the biggest surprise to me about “Mortal Kombat 11” has been the story mode. Traditionally, story modes have been one of the more disposable pillars in fighting games.

Though the story mode in the new MK is very much a popcorn affair, it’s a fine one. After a villain decides to disrupt the flow of time, older versions of characters encounter their younger selves. Seeing an older Johnny Cage get so annoyed by his jerky younger self that he fights him should be amusing to anyone who remembers Cage or any of the other characters from the nineties.

The story cycles through

off. When patients realize their pain isn’t inevitable, they’re more receptive to doing physical therapy exercises and more likely to move on their own.”

Patterson, a University of Washington researcher who pioneered the combined use of VR and hypnosis, said the techniques can foster mindfulness, “enhancing patients’ ability to come into the moment rather than pay attention to their pain. Mindfulness can train the brain not to react to thoughts or emotions associated with suffering. Pain may be inevitable, but suffering isn’t.”

Gold explained, “Mindfulness teaches the mind how to quiet the body and nervous system through breathing and focusing on one’s breath. Thoughts may come into your head but then go out. You don’t obsess about them or catastrophize.”

Still, Patterson and others said, VR is not yet ready for prime time to treat chronic pain, nor should it be considered a replacement for medication.

“Pilot studies are underway using different kinds of VR content to help patients learn skills for managing their pain and be less quick to grab medication,” Gold said. With VR headsets now priced around $300 or $400, patients may be able to use them at home several times a day. A number of companies are developing various software programs that create therapeutic virtual environments, with the ultimate goal of using the mind to change the brain — “like learning to play the piano or ride a bike,” he said.

“VR is not a panacea or silver bullet, but a tool to teach many different things,” Gold said. “Unlike opioids, you don’t become dependent on VR. Rather, you learn skills that can generalize into life without VR. It’s a tool for breaking the cycle of pain and stress that drives the nervous system through the roof. You can learn to think yourself well instead of thinking yourself sick.”

the characters without it ever growing convoluted or bogged down. It is a minor miracle that reminded me of the superhero comics I read as a kid.

The other major components of “Mortal Kombat 11” are the Krypt and the Towers of Time. The Krypt is a 3-D space where players can wander about, solve puzzles, and look at sights from previous MK games. There, players can also spend the game’s different currencies to unlock

chests that can contain cosmetic upgrades, new moves for characters, or other collectibles. It’s useful to visit the Krypt before tackling the Towers of Time to gain consumable items that can be used to one’s advantage. The Towers are a series of challenges that pit the player against different enemies that fight with special modifiers such as the ability to steal health after landing a successful blow.

I haven’t dabbled for too

many hours with the Towers or the Krypt. I don’t care much about cosmetic upgrades but I wouldn’t mind picking up additional fatalities. At any rate, I’m uncertain as to how often I’ll revisit “Mortal Kombat 11”in the coming days. I don’t have the time to pour into it that I did in college. Still, my older self is pleased with the new Mortal Kombat: it’s brash, the characters are fun, and parents shouldn’t get it for their kids.

The screenplay, however, isn’t terribly innovative — you’ll see some twists coming — but Smith makes for a compelling straight man to Reynolds’s caffeineobsessed Pikachu, who’s thrilled to find a human who can understand him. Reynolds, known for the “Deadpool” movies, jettisons that character’s foul mouth in this PG-rated outing, yet he brings a similar, blunt-spoken charm to this sweet-atthe-center role.

rends. They’re everywhere.

Plastered all over social media: the latest thigh-high boots, a new line of makeup by a millennial billionaire, stainless steel drinking straws! We now have “influencers” — people who can make or break a product with a single Instagram post.

Unfortunately, food is not immune to this phenomenon and falls prey to a constant fascination with everything popular. What’s fashionable today (cauliflower everything!) can be boring tomorrow (remember kale?). If an influencer decides it, avocado toast may soon be passé, my friend-wall or no wall.

Every year, we are inundated with STACY ZARIN GOLDBERG/WASHINGTON POST lists of the latest food trends and foods New Century Seven-Layer Bean Dip is perfect for a party. no longer considered popular.

part of the chicken — the thighs. Use bone-in and skin-on pieces and you’ll never have stringy chicken again. Inspired by the original recipe, I played with the many dried fruits available in markets today and inaccessible then, so use whichever one you love most: dried apricots, currants, giant raisins, dates, cranberries, cherries, mangos or blueberries all work.

We’re all about honey this century.

Use it in place of brown sugar. Clover honey will impart a lighter taste than pungent Manuka honey — and will be cheaper, too. Use honey flavored with bourbon, thyme, sage, lavender, or rosemary. My favorite is the sourwood honey from Appalachia, with undertones of sweet spices, licorice and anise. Sorghum or dark molasses will also work. Leftovers will be welcome; the dish tastes better the next day, and I guarantee, you’ll want to have it again.

Just in case you still doubt how something old can become trendy again ... remember seven-layer dip? Everyone was serving it during the 1980s and 1990s. Some of you are still serving it today. It deserves a modern re-do for the 21st century.

The original idea behind this dip was to make everything with ingredients readily available in your kitchen. That remains true in this version, which is as creamy and colorful as the original.

However, everything else is new, from the cannellini beans, to the pestocrème fraîche and Fontina cheese.

It might remind you of the original, but it will seduce you like a new lover.

Crispy fried shallots are its crowning glory. Crunchy, sweet, and nutty-you’ll want to make extra to nibble on all day.

Serve the dip with toasted pita chips, crostini or baked wonton skins. Maybe you’ll layer it into miniature glass See BLAST C6

Treat your family to a great dinner salad

By LINDA GASSENHEIMER Tribune News Service

Make this quick roasted chicken pasta salad and enjoy a family meal at home. No mess to clean. It uses only one pot, won’t heat up your kitchen and takes only 20 minutes to make. It also makes a great dinner salad anytime.

I use a purchased roasted or rotisserie chicken breast for the salad. It is cooked on the bone and generally is moist and flavorful. There are many brands of roasted chicken breast that are boned, skinned and cut ready to use. These

work fine in this recipe and will shorten the preparation time.

ROASTED CHICKEN PASTA SALAD ¼ pound fusilli (corkscrew-shaped) pasta 2 cups chicken breast, skin and bone removed, from purchased roasted or rotisserie chicken 6 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish 2 tablespoons orange marmalade Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup sliced celery 2 scallions, sliced Romaine lettuce, washed and torn into bitesize pieces (about 4 cups)

1 medium tomato, cut into wedges Place water for pasta on to boil. Meanwhile, remove skin from chicken and remove meat from bones. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Mix the mayonnaise, horseradish and marmalade in a large bowl.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add chicken and celery and toss well.

Add pasta to boiling water and bring back to the boil.

Cook 8 minutes or until pasta is cooked through. Drain and add to the chicken. Toss well.

Add more salt and pepper, if

needed.

Divide a layer of lettuce leaves between two dinner plates. Spoon the salad onto the lettuce and top with sliced scallions. Place tomatoes around the edge of the plates.

Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper.

Psychoanalyzing history’s meanest men

By WRAY HERBERT

(Joseph) Stalin demanded loyalty but had no loyalty to those who helped him gain power, eliminating anyone who was perceived as a threat. Closely related, and also common in the personality of tyrants, is moral disengagement.

Washington Post

Tyrannical Minds: Psychological Profiling, Narcissism, and Dictatorship

By Dean A. Haycock Pegasus. 317 pp. $27.95 Early on in this timely, ambitious volume, neurobiologist and science writer Dean A. Haycock offers the reader a mental exercise. He presents two case histories, each a biographical sketch of an unidentified but well known public figure who came of age in very difficult circumstances. One was born into a nation at war, narrowly escaping enemy bombs, and later endured repeated beatings at the hands of his troubled father. He ran away from home for the final time at age 15. The other also grew up in a dysfunctional family, with a cruel, then absent, father. He and his mother lived in chronic poverty, continually on the move, and as a result he never had any real education.

After sketching out these early lives, Haycock reveals the identities.

The first grew up to be David Clayton-Thomas, the highly successful frontman for the rock band Blood, Sweat and Tears. The other grew up to be Joseph Stalin.

Haycock’s goal in “Tyrannical Minds” is to sort out all of the influences that combine to produce a hateful, immoral despot, and his point here is that it takes a lot more than a terrible childhood to turn someone into a merciless tyrant.

Some of the well-known despots Haycock profiles here — Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Kim Jong Un, Idi Amin, Moammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein — did experience personal dislocation early on, but others- such as Mao — were privileged and coddled. The rare emergence of a full-blown tyrant appears to require much more; an unusual combination of vaulting ambition, bad genes and dark personality, and the opportunity to exploit an ailing nation.

Does President Trump fit in this rogues’ gallery? That’s the underlying question in this historical analysis, and of these contributing factors, it’s personality that most interests

Haycock, who draws heavily on others’ psychological profiles of history’s meanest characters. There is wide professional agreement about the traits that make up human personality, supported by an extensive scientific literature, and also about — most relevant here — the traits that add up to malignant personality. Scientists refer to this constellation of traits as the Dark Factor of Personality, or “D-factor,” and it’s worth spelling out these traits in a bit of detail here.

Perhaps most germane to an analysis of political tyranny is Machiavellianism, which describes the “consistent use of deception, lying, manipulation and exploitation of others in order to achieve a goal or maintain power.” Stalin demanded loyalty but had no loyalty to those who helped him gain power, eliminating anyone who was perceived as a threat. Closely related, and also common in the personality of tyrants, is moral disengagement.

Despots convince themselves that the usual moral standards don’t apply to them, ignoring or excusing criminal behavior — even murder in the extreme — by any follower who is useful.

Malignant personality is often accompanied by an extraordinary sense of entitlement, Haycock said — the belief that one has the right to, and deserves, better treatment than others. The psychologically entitled crave admiration and praise, and often “demean, insult and begin ven-

dettas against news organizations which ask hard questions or publish critical stories.”

Other dark traits include (to compress a bit) extreme self interest, callousness, emotional deficits, lack of empathy and pathological sadism — taking pleasure in the abuse of others. Finally, and arguably most central to this dark personality, is narcissism — “extreme self-absorption accompanied by an unrealistic, inflated image of oneself.” Serious features of pathological narcissism include harmful, petty and vindictive responses to any criticism or threat to the narcissist’s “over-inflated, fragile self-image.”

Despite Trump’s shadowy presence here, this was not meant to be a book about the president. Haycock says that, when he first outlined his project, he didn’t intend to include any American presidents in his analysis. But in the end, he devotes a third of the book to a history of homegrown tyranny, and to the current president in particular. Trump comes across as a poster boy for malignant personality, overshadowing all the other historical dictators, whose profiles seem skimpy by comparison.

But does this mean the president is mentally ill — as some psychiatrists have publicly argued — or unfit for office? Does this unfortunate constellation of traits — lust for power, sadism, narcissism and more — necessarily add up to a diagnosable mental disorder, such as psychosis or legal insanity? Haycock hedges his bets a bit more than many readers will like on this pressing, overarching question, deferring mostly to other psychological profilers and mental health specialists. He takes pains to distinguish between a narcissistic personality profile, on the one hand, and narcissistic personality disorder, a much more serious and threaten-

ing condition. There are many, mostly harmless, people who engage in “everyday narcissism,” he contends, but they rarely have a full-blown psychiatric disorder.

Similarly, most experts would not label Trump psychotic. Unlike someone with schizophrenia, for example, he does not hallucinate a separate reality, even if he does insist on an alternative set of facts. Nor is he legally insane. He knows right from wrong, even if he rejects many commonly held moral standards. What’s more, Trump does not appear distressed by any of his own dark traits. We may not like his maddening egotism and manipulative behavior, but such “Trumpism” does not appear in psychiatry’s diagnostic manual.

Haycock considers Trump’s professional success significant. He has benefited from his malignant traits again and again for a long time, and he has not “decompensated” under the extreme stress of the Oval Office.

“Decompensation” is psychiatric jargon: The fact that he has not decompensated means he has not descended into madness. He is pretty much the same disagreeable person he has always been.

But as Haycock seems to conclude, that in itself does not mean he isn’t bad — or bad for the country.

Moral impairment is not madness, nor is it certifiable mental illness.

But it’s still impairment, and worrisome. The author concludes: “His narcissism guarantees that he will always look out for himself first and last. Donald Trump’s only loyalty is to Donald Trump. He is a successful man trapped in narcissism. Now, to a considerable degree, the nation is, too.”

Herbert has written about psychology and mental health for many years.

Sibling rivalry fuels the delicious thriller

By RICHARD LIPEZ Washington Post

The Better Sister

By Alafair Burke Harper. 311 pp. $26.99 Readers of “The Better Sister,” Alafair Burke’s wonderfully twisty new thriller should get ready to be led down the garden path to a conclusion so morally ambiguous a professional ethicist might have to be called in. You end up feeling both horrified and vaguely complicit.

It takes a while for this tale of family messiness and eventual murder to really get going — but all the noneventful palaver about big-deal women’s magazine editor Chloe Taylor, her lawyer husband, Adam, their teenage son Ethan (actually Chloe’s stepson), and Chloe’s lost-soul of a sister Nicky (Ethan’s biological mother) is just cunning scenesetting for the numerous nasty surprises that soon come oozing into view.

Chloe, the novel’s narrator, means to present herself as “the better sister” of the title.

She’s famous for her support

of abused “everyday” women in the #ThemToo movement she initiated, she has 320,000 Twitter followers, and she’s “danced with Ellen.” But it’s clear early on that she’s not exactly, as her older sister calls her sarcastically, “Saint Chloe.” Critically, as it turns out, Chloe salary-shames Adam into joining a big “global powerhouse” law firm even though he loves being an assistant U.S. attorney. She’s snobby, too, snickering that Nicky carries a “purse the size of my wine fridge.”

While growing up in Cleveland, the children of a violent alcoholic and his submissive wife, Chloe was always the overachiever — it was a way out of that turbulent household — and Nicky the self-destructive loser. Nicky manages to emulate Chloe long enough to snare Adam Macintosh, a handsome up-and-comer who “could be out with models every night.” (In the age of Trump, this compliment doesn’t resonate quite the way it once might have, but never mind.)

After Ethan is born, Nicky falls apart — drugs, booze, heavy metal music — and Adam flees Cleveland with the child and lands in New York, where Chloe, rich and successful, is waiting to be helpful. It’s not long before Chloe is Ethan’s doting stepmom.

That’s OK with broken, depressive Nicky until, 10 years later, Adam is stabbed to death in his and Chloe’s East Hampton vacation house, and Ethan is charged with the murder.

Now it’s a rehabilitated Nicky who arrives on the scene to stand up for her biological son

— and it’s here where the novel really starts to fly.

The two women who used to drive each other crazy gradually begin to appreciate each other. Chloe has been basically a good mom for Nicky’s biological son, and Nicky is clearheaded enough to see that and express her gratitude.

She’s also bawdy and funny, and Chloe enjoys her sister for the first time. Nicky has a nice way of anticipating reader reactions to Chloe. The glamorous editor talks about serving “haricot vert” with her roast chicken, and what pops into your head is what Nicky blurts out to a dinner guest two lines later: “See, I remember back when Chloe called them green beans like everyone else in America.”

We don’t get to know Adam very well before he meets his maker, but we do learn from both Nicky and Chloe that he wasn’t Mr. Perfect, and he was up to something mysterious, probably work-related, possibly nefarious, in the days before his murder.

Sixteen-year-old Ethan is painfully real and

recognizable, and you don’t know until late in the novel what guilty secret he’s been harboring for months. The murder trial takes up the last third of the story, and it’s knowingly and suspensefully dramatized by Burke, herself a former prosecutor.

It should be noted that the worst people in “The Better Sister” are all men, including the internet trolls who regularly attack Chloe in language that is the province of near-psychopaths. It’s another one of those situations where you think, what hath Zuckerberg wrought? All the most compelling — and competent — people in the novel are women. That includes a Long Island police detective, Jennifer Guidry, whose male partner is a doofus. There’s also a mind-boggling final page that’s reminiscent of “Thelma and Louise” — except with a different final turn.

NOTEWORTHY PAPERBACKS Summaries from The New York Times Book Review:

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND: WHAT THE NEW SCIENCE OF PSYCHEDELICS TEACHES US ABOUT CONSCIOUSNESS, DYING, ADDICTION, DEPRESSION, AND TRANSCENDENCE

By Michael Pollan. (Penguin, $18.)

Yes, this is the book in which Pollan drops acid. Here, the author, known for his searching examinations of the ethics of eating, investigates how psychedelics can provide relief. His book was one of the Book Review’s 10 best of 2018.

SEVERANCE

By Ling Ma. (Picador, $17.)

Candace, the daughter of Chinese immigrants, is the anchor of this dystopian novel as she falls into an unsatisfying and trance-like routine in New York City. As Times reviewer Antonia Hitchens put it, the book “offers blatant commentary on ‘dizzying abundance’ and unrelenting consumption, evolving into a semisurreal sendup of a workplace and its utopia of rules.”

THE ROAD TO UNFREEDOM: RUSSIA, EUROPE, AMERICA

By Timothy Snyder. (Tim Duggan, $17.) Snyder considers what causes democracy to fracture, with a focus on recent political instability in the West. In his view, Russia and Vladimir Putin are to blame. Times reviewer Margaret MacMillan wrote that Snyder “argues forcefully and eloquently” that we are living in dangerous times, calling his book a “good wake-up call.”

THE GLITCH

By Elisabeth Cohen. (Anchor, $16.)

Shelley is the chief executive of a tech company, and she’s ruthlessly efficient: She schedules sex with her husband, carves out “me time” at 3:30 a.m. and even takes a men’s multivitamin. When she encounters a woman who claims to be a younger Shelley, her life begins to unravel, raising broader questions about work and selfhood.

“What is the ‘glitch,’ really, for the rest of us?” Times reviewer Stephanie Danler asked. “It’s a question of work and what it costs women to do it.”

STEALING THE SHOW: HOW WOMEN ARE REVOLUTIONIZING TELEVISION

By Joy Press.

(Atria, $18.)

Press, a former critic for The Village Voice, traces the ways in which women like Shonda Rhimes, Lena Dunham and Mindy Kaling have transformed television. While the book focuses mainly on contemporary shows, including “Gilmore Girls” and “Broad City,” it gives a nod to their forebears, like “I Love Lucy” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

TRANSCRIPTION 2. The Mueller Report. Scribner 3. The Mister. E.L. James. Vintage 4. Go See the Principal. Gerry Brooks. Da Capo Lifelong 5. The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Heather Morris. Harper 6. The Woman in the Window. A.J. Finn.

Grand Central 9. The 13-Minute Murder. James Patterson. Grand Central 10. A Dog’s Journey (movie tie-in). W. Bruce Cameron. Forge

By Kate Atkinson. (Back Bay/ Little, Brown, $16.99.) In her new novel, the author of “Life After Life” explores a teenage girl’s unlikely involvement with MI5 in 1940. Juliet was a secretary before her recruitment and was assigned to monitor British fascist sympathizers. Ten years later, while she was working for the BBC, her past comes back to her in unsettling ways.

You enjoy all manner of endeavors, from the private to the very public, from solo work to group efforts, from the sublime to the ridiculous. It’s engagement and involvement that you are after, and as long as you feel you are being afforded the opportunity to express yourself and work to peak capacity, then you will be happy. You are not after notoriety, fame, fortune or praise; you are after something that comes only from doing a thing that feels right over the long haul. You are after an inner contentment that no one will ever be able to take from you — and you may have it.

You see attention as a means to an end, and you will endure it as long as it pays off for you. You are perfectly willing to pay a high price for the things you want, but the thing you most want, above all else, is something that you may find for free, and that is a happy, contented, long-term love. It’s yours to find — and to enjoy.

Decades after the 1986 nuclear disaster,

TOURISM IS BOOMING IN CHERNOBYL

By CHERYL L. REED Chicago Tribune

We climbed 16 flights of slippery, icy stairs in an abandoned apartment building — the iron railings long ago pilfered, balcony doors stuck open — until we reached the roof and peered over the ghost town of Pripyat, the once-hailed Soviet “futuristic city” where Chernobyl nuclear plant workers and their families lived.

Thirty-three years after the Chernobyl nuclear reactor explosion, Pripyat’s broad boulevards are crowded with tangles of overgrown trees. Its once gleaming buildings are dark and brooding — windows gone, interiors looted, hallways littered with crumbling books.

It was twilight, and from our rooftop perch, the only light we could see came from the silver dome encasing the Chernobyl reactor, lit up as if it were still on fire. Someone in our group blasted music from an iPhone, and suddenly a dozen Americans broke out dancing. We were among the only humans in this deserted city.

“What else do you do at the end of the world?” someone yelled.

Welcome to the apocalypse vacation: a weekend in Chernobyl.

Ever since the Ukrainian government opened Chernobyl to tourists in 2011, the number of annual visitors continues to climb. Last year, the government reported nearly 72,000 visitors, up from 50,000 the year before.

“Travel to Ukraine has become cheap,” said Sergii Ivanchuk, owner of SoloEast, a company that last year shuttled nearly 12,000 tourists to the site of the infamous nuclear disaster.

“We don’t have Crimea anymore, and less and less people are interested in religion and churches,” he added.

“But we have cheap beer and Chernobyl!”

In the early morning of April 26, 1986, when this area belonged to the Soviet Union, nuclear reactor No. 4 exploded during a safety test at this power plant north of Kiev. The deadly accident, initially cloaked in

BUTTERY CREPES 24 servings To sauce or not to sauce crepes is the question: If the filling is dry, sauce them, but if the filling is creamy, leave them alone. Bechamel and tomato sauces are natural savory toppings. A simple chocolate drizzle will dress up sweet crepes.

Cook crepes to order, right before filling. Store any leftover crepes wrapped tightly with plastic wrap, and freeze for up to three months. Defrost the crepes at room temperature for 30 minutes before eating.

2 cups half-and-half 4 large eggs 1 1/2 cups (188 grams) flour 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 2 tablespoons clarified butter or ghee, plus more for cooking Whisk together half-andhalf and eggs. Slowly sift in the flour and salt. Whisk in the 2 tablespoons of clarified butter.

Cover and let the batter sit for 30 minutes at room temperature. (You can let it rest for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator, but bring it back to room temperature for 30 minutes before using.)

Heat a 6-inch nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Brush lightly with clarified butter. Ladle 3 tablespoons of the batter into the heated pan and quickly swirl the pan to form a round crepe, swirling until the batter

The crumbling sarcophagus that covered the remains of the ill-fated reactor No. 4, seen here not long before the new containment shield was rolled over the structure in November 2016.

Soviet secrecy, spewed radioactive fallout over much of Europe. More than 115,000 people were evacuated from a 1,000-square-mile area known as the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

Years later, stories and photos from Chernobyl continue to stoke the world’s curiosity — horses born with eight legs, giant catfish found in the waters near the plant, octogenarian “self-settlers” who seemingly thrived after returning to the Exclusion Zone, eating vegetables grown in contaminated soil. Even now, interest in Chernobyl shows no signs of ebbing. Journalist Adam Higginbotham’s book, “Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World’s Greatest Nuclear Disaster,” hit shelves earlier this year, and HBO’s new drama miniseries “Chernobyl” debuts May 6.

I first visited Chernobyl in late October 2016, not long before a massive silver containment shield designed to prevent radiation leaks was rolled over the crumbling sarcophagus encasing reactor No. 4. A hundred yards from the sarcophagus, our Geiger counters shot off readings several times higher than the suggested safe levels; our guide discouraged us from

settles. Cook for about 1 minute, until the edges of the crepe start to pull away from the sides of the pan.

Flip the crepe with an offset spatula and cook for 15 seconds; then transfer to a plate.

Repeat with the remaining batter, separating the crepes with pieces of parchment or wax paper, so they don’t stick to each another. (Crepes shouldn’t take any color, so look for slightly golden flecks on the first side.

Don’t be tempted to raise the temperature; medium is perfect, so they won’t burn as they cook through.)

NOTE: To clarify butter, place it in a saucepan over low heat. Cook without stirring until it has liquefied, then begin skimming the foam off the top (discarding the foam) until the butter is clear enough to see through to the milky solids at the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and strain the clear butter into a separate container; discard the solids.

THE MARVELOUS CHICKEN MARBELLA REDO 4 to 6 servings The author updated this beloved classic by using chicken thighs only, swapping in honey for sugar and experimenting with different dried fruit. Consider using sliced fennel for anise flavor, roasted red bell pepper for sweetness and toasted almonds added at the end for crunch. As long as you combine sweet, sour, savory and briny flavors, you’re guaranteed

lingering.

Two years later, I stood in the same spot across from the infamous reactor — now covered by a shiny arch — and the levels on my Geiger counter were only slightly elevated.

I’d returned to the Exclusion Zone because this time I wanted to sleep in Chernobyl. How many people can say that?

Two-day guided tours cost $200 to $300 a person for a group of 12 and include an overnight stay in a spartan, dormlike hotel in the town of Chernobyl, about 12 miles from the reactor. Day excursions are available too.

Dozens of companies run trips to the area. Tour buses, often painted with gas masks and radiation symbols, pick up customers from Kiev’s Independence Square.

I’d brought along 11 students from Syracuse University where I teach journalism — after convincing university officials and the students’ parents that our visit would be no more dangerous from a radiation standpoint than an intercontinental flight or dental X-rays.

As we passed through various checkpoints and entered the

Exclusion Zone, some students were nervous. Then they met a pack of Chernobyl puppies, mainly descendants of dogs left behind by evacuees, and their anxiousness about radioactivity subsided. Many of the estimated 300 stray dogs are tagged and tracked by scientists. At night, outside our hotel, packs of dogs yelped and howled. About two-thirds of the Exclusion Zone is a wildlife reserve, populated by increasing numbers of wolves, foxes, lynxes, wild pigs, deer and moose.

Our guide, Tatiana Globa, 22, had recently taken a group into a Pripyat elementary school, only to be met by a giant moose.

“We backed out of there fast,” she said. “I was really scared. It was huge, and they can be mean.”

On our tour, Globa pointed out radiation “hot spots,” including the red forest where trees had turned red and orange. As our bus quickly moved through a section of the woods, our Geiger counters screamed warnings with rapid beeping.

We visited Pripyat’s iconic amusement park, with its faded yellow Ferris wheel and its sad, decaying bumper cars that never gave a ride to a single child; the park was set to open the week after the explosion.

There’s an enormous sense of loss touring Pripyat, as if the town’s population had been suddenly wiped out rather than resettled. A sense of grief followed us as we traipsed through some of the few villages that hadn’t been bulldozed — kitchen tables set as if the family were about to sit down — and poked around deserted schools and hospitals where firefighters were first treated. The remains of their highly radiated clothing still send Geiger counters bleeping and Globa shouting, “Don’t touch!”

We climbed inside an unfinished cooling tower, abandoned when the reactor exploded. We stared up at the immense structure, as tall as the Great Pyramid of Giza, marveling at the raw beauty of gray concrete, buttressed

by steel supports, curving up until it opened to the wintry sky.

Chernobyl is a testament to the Soviet affinity for gargantuan architecture and design. An 18-foot-tall Lenin statue is still on display in the town of Chernobyl. Tucked away in the forests near the reactor is the Duga-3 radar station, a sprawling metal structure resembling a giant roller coaster. The contraption served as a listening device, an over-the-horizon radar system meant to detect if the U.S. had launched missiles targeting the U.S.S.R. A highlight of the trip was meeting Ivan Ivanovich, 82, at the primitiveyet-cozy home he built in Parishev village. Ivanovich is one of 119 “selfsettlers” who are still alive, according to Exclusion Zone officials. The settlers were allowed to return after 600,000 so-called liquidators cleaned up the roads, bulldozed toxic buildings, scraped the radiated topsoil, and buried cars and furniture.

“The level of radiation in Kiev was the same as in Parishev, so why would I stay there?” he asked.

Ivanovich is thin and stooped but offers strangers a cheerful grin — and food.

“I can cook borscht for you,” he said. “I will boil some potatoes. My potatoes are as clean as potatoes in Kiev.”

Instead, we gave Ivanovich two sacks of groceries we’d bought and said our goodbyes. Then our bus began its journey back to the Exclusion Zone exit checkpoints where we were tested for radioactive dust on metal devices that looked like subway turnstiles. We all passed.

Along the route, our driver stopped and pointed to a pale orange lynx crouched and staring at us in the snow a few yards from the road.

“We are the strangers here,” our guide said. “This is like a planet without people.”

success.

An instant-read thermometer is helpful for monitoring the chicken.

Serve this chicken with mashed potatoes, steamed white rice, creamy grits or polenta, and always offer plenty of crusty bread to sop up the juices.

MAKE AHEAD: The chicken needs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, and up to 8 hours.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Juice of 1 large lime or lemon (about 1/4 cup) 1/3 cup chopped dried fruit, such as wild blueberries, apricots, dates or raisins 1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced 1/4 cup pitted manzanilla olives (or pitted Kalamata olives) 3 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons brined capers, drained 2 teaspoons dried thyme 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs 1/2 cup dry white wine 1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving Combine the oil, lime juice, dried fruit, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, garlic, capers, thyme, salt and Aleppo pepper in a gallon zip-top bag. Add the chicken; press the air out of the bag, seal and massage through the bag to distribute the ingredients.

Place the bag in a mixing bowl (to avoid leakage) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours, turning every once in awhile to make sure the chicken thighs are evenly coated.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Arrange the thighs, skin sides up, in a single layer in a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish.

Pour the marinade around the chicken, then add the wine and drizzle the honey evenly over the chicken.

Roast for 30 minutes; then start basting the chicken every 10 minutes with the marinade in the baking dish, continuing to roast for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until the chicken has browned on top and its temperature (taken away from the bone) registers 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.

The juices should run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork.

Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and tent it loosely with the aluminum foil.

Pour what’s left in the baking dish into a medium saucepan;

bring to a boil over mediumhigh heat and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until it has reduced by half.

Uncover the chicken; pour the sauce over the thighs, then garnish with the parsley. Serve warm.

NEW CENTURY SEVENLAYER BEAN DIP 6 servings To save time, look for sliced roasted peppers in your grocery store. If you don’t like artichokes, use black or green olive tapenade instead.

MAKE AHEAD: The dip can be assembled and chilled for up to 4 hours ahead.

For the crispy shallots 1/2 cup neutral oil, such as avocado or peanut 3/4 cup very thinly sliced shallots (about 4 ounces, or 6 small shallots) For the seasoned beans One (15 1/2 ounces) can cannellini beans, drained 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 large clove garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground dried sage For the pesto layer 1 cup crème fraîche or sour cream 1/2 cup prepared pesto

For the crispy shallots: Line a plate with paper towels. Heat the oil in a 6-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Test to see if the oil is hot by tossing in a shallot sliver; if it sizzles, the oil is ready. Carefully add the rest of the shallots to the oil and stir gently. Cook the shallots, stirring often, for 2 minutes; then reduce the heat to medium.

Continue to cook the shallots for 4 minutes, stirring often, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the skillet from the heat — shallots go from crispy to burnt and bitter in no time. Use tongs to transfer the shallots to the prepared plate; allow the shallots to drain until cool.

For the seasoned beans: Place the beans in a bowl and mash with a fork until a chunky paste forms. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and sage and stir to combine.

For the pesto layer: Combine the creme fraiche or sour cream and the pesto in a medium bowl.

To assemble the dip: Spread a thin layer of beans on the bottom of an 8-inch pie dish.

Spread the pesto layer over the beans, and top with the tapenade (or artichoke spread).

Evenly distribute the roasted pepper and follow with the sundried tomatoes. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top; then cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Right before serving, top the dip with the fried shallots.

Serve with sliced focaccia, pita chips or crisp wonton crackers.

NOTE: You can also assemble individual dips in small glasses.
