Jail critics gathered for a strategy meeting Tuesday night. The opposition movement has about a week to gain state support and halt the proposed jail project because construction begins.
CATSKILL — Two counties could be served by a regional jail as the state enters a new era of downsizing its criminal population, a Brooklyn assemblyman said Wednesday. Assemblyman Joseph Lentol, D-50, who chairs the Codes Committee, said he is
willing to sponsor a bill to make shared jails a reality. “I think it’s something that’s necessary,” he said. “We don’t need to be building jails necessarily in every county. We could have a regional jail to serve two counties.” The criminal justice reforms make the See JAIL A8

C-D elects new board members, budgets pass By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media
Budgets in all six school districts in Greene County were approved by voters Tuesday evening. In Cairo-Durham, the $31,806,451 budget was passed 569-260. The budget reflects a 2.12% increase in spending and a 2.65% increase in the tax levy. Voters also approved a special proposition to purchase six new school buses at a cost of $646,060 by a vote of 594-236. Eleven candidates were on the ballot to fill four seats on the board of education.
Elected to a three-year term were Nicole Maggio with 487 votes, Todd Hilgendorff with 386 votes and Dale Handel with 358 votes. Bernadette Gavin-Palmieri was elected to a one-year term with 338 votes. The Catskill school district saw its $42,640,929 budget pass 468-240, and reflects a 2.03% spending increase and a 3.34% tax levy increase. Also passed by voters was the Catskill Public Library budget 516-195 votes. “The passage of last night’s budget vote is monumental with adding programs,
technology and better opportunities for our students to be college and career ready,” said Superintendent of Schools Ronel Cook. With only Allan Couser on the ballot, voters elected write-in candidates to the three remaining vacant seats on the board of education. Couser with 320 votes, Patricia Dushane with 309 votes and Andrew Varone with 168 votes will serve on the board for three-year terms. Ryan Osswald, with 117 votes, will serve the remainder of an unexpired one-year term. “I also congratulate Mr.
Couser, Ms. Dushane, Mr. Varone and Mr. Osswald for accepting the responsibility to serve on the Catskill Board of Education,” Cook said. “I look forward to working with the board to transition our schools from good to great.” The Coxsackie-Athens budget of $32,411,014 was adopted 526-214; the budget reflects a spending increase of 3.54% and a tax levy increase of 3.8%. Three candidates were elected to the board — Maureen Hanse with 505 votes, Michael Donahue with 480 votes, and Nicole Canning with 455 votes.
In Greenville, the budget of $31,583,390 was adopted 427120. Two special propositions were also adopted, including a bus purchase proposition, 437-109, and a property purchase proposition, 441-103. “Thank you to the voters for their continued support in overwhelmingly approving the 2019-20 budget, purchase of buses and small property acquisition,” Superintendent of Schools Tammy Sutherland said. “The budget, with a tax levy increase of .98%, See BOARD A8

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump abruptly blew up a scheduled meeting with Democratic congressional leaders Wednesday, lashing out at Speaker Nancy Pelosi for accusing him of a coverup and declaring that he could not work with them until they stopped investigating him. He then marched out into the Rose Garden, where reporters had been gathered, and delivered a statement bristling with anger as he demanded that Democrats “get these phony investigations over with.” He said they could not legislate and investigate at the same time. “We’re going to go down one track at a time,” he said.

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, exchanged more than 230 phone calls and 950 text messages over eight months with the chief executive of a U.S. money management firm with ties to a Russian oligarch, according to newly unsealed court documents. The communications between Cohen and Andrew Intrater, the chief executive officer of Columbus Nova LCC, began on the day of Donald Trump’s election, according to a U.S. search-and-seizure warrant filed in Washington on Aug. 7, 2017, and unsealed on Wednesday. Citing public records and news reports, the government said Columbus Nova is an investment management firm controlled by Renova Group, which is itself controlled by Viktor Vekselberg, a wealthy Russian citizen. Intrater, an American, is a cousin of Vekselberg. Columbus Nova has denied that it’s an arm of Renova Group. A spokesman for Intrater didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. “Telephone records related to Cohen’s cellular telephone

OUR VIEW
An exercise in political grandstanding To the many stories that end with the moral, the road to ruin is paved with good intentions, add another — legislation that would exempt volunteer firefighters and first responders in New York from paying state income tax. Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-102, introduced a bill to beef up volunteer first responder services by offering a 100% exemption from state income taxes. If adopted, the bill would apply to eligible volunteer firefighters and emergency medical services personnel, and would make them fully exempt from paying state income taxes. Unlike other entities that receive tax breaks, volunteer EMS and fire companies are nonprofits that, in many areas, including the Twin Counties, are fighting for survival. Members are dropping out because of demands placed on them by jobs and families. It now takes hundreds of hours to be certified and new firefighters often must cover the cost of training. Recruitment is slipping. But it is unclear how many volunteer firefighters and emergency medical services personnel would be eligible for the exemption. Other questions that must be answered are how much revenue will be lost by granting income tax exemptions to more than 110,000 volunteer firefighters (according to the New York Times News Service) and who will make up the deficit.
Complicating all of this is the appearance of political pandering by state Republicans. Pressing for votes, they are offering a cynical solution to a problem that has too many facets. Other costs are contributing to the dwindling of the ranks, according to the New York Times News Service report. Since the 1980s, for example, the price of a single selfcontained breathing apparatus has jumped to more than $5,000, from $900. A fire engine costs $400,000 more than it did 30 years ago. In surveys, firefighters consistently cite the endless burden of fundraising, which takes up to 60 percent of their work time, as one of the biggest deterrents to staying on the job, according to the New York Times. The stakes are high because volunteers save not only lives but money — more than $139.8 billion annually for local governments, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Yes, the volunteers put their lives on the line on every call. No one is disputing that. We object to the GOP twisting the plight of firefighters and EMS personnel to score feelgood political points without a solid plan to back it up. Volunteer first responders will continue to do fine work in the Twin Counties, but engaging in cynical political gestures sends the wrong message and distracts from the real problems volunteers now face.

So much for Robert Mueller, unplugged By Aaron Blake (c) 2019,The Washington Post ·
For those anxious to see special counsel Robert Mueller testify, lay waste to misinformation about his report and put Attorney General William Barr in his place . . . you can keep right on waiting. The Washington Post confirms that Mueller is reluctant to testify publicly beyond the contents of his report. He is at an impasse with the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., who wants all of Mueller’s testimony to be public. From The Post’s Devlin Barrett, Ellen Nakashima and Rachael Bade: “Mueller, according to people familiar with the matter, would like for any discussions beyond the public contents of his report to be conducted in private. Democrats want to press Mueller in a nationally televised hearing about a host of issues, including whether he thought President Trump could or should be charged with obstruction if he were not the president, and whether Mueller agreed with Attorney General William P. Barr’s handling of the investigation’s findings. The standoff won’t be surprising to those who know Mueller best. He has long been content to let his investigations speak for themselves and rarely makes public statements or discloses more than he needs to. His office made only one public comment - beyond legal filings - during the entirety of its almost two-year investigation; that was to shoot down a report that President Donald Trump had directed his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress. But Trump opponents who saw Mueller as their white knight have a difficult time letting go of that. Even after Mueller decided it wasn’t his place to accuse Trump of obstruction of justice, they believe his testimony might reveal something beyond the text of his report, or that he might even just come out and say Trump committed obstruction.
The fact that Mueller wrote a letter criticizing Barr’s handling of the rollout of his report’s findings made them feel like he’s got a story he wants to tell. But what’s happening now indicates we’re not about to see anything amounting to Robert Mueller, unplugged. If he felt it was important for him to show up to Congress and set the record straight, he probably wouldn’t be haggling over limiting his public comments. You’d think he’s be taking the first available date. But it’s also remarkable that Mueller is sticking to this posture, even now. It’s understandable that Mueller wants to stay above the political fray, as he has tried to do throughout his time in public office. But he’s now in the fray. The fact that he rarely speaks publicly allowed Barr to define his report before people had a chance to read it. Mueller will forever be judged by the contents of the Mueller report and how it shook out politically, but right now he’s letting Barr own the debate. That’s not to say Mueller couldn’t still tell us something important. Simply by going over the results of his obstruction investigation or talking through some of the reasons behind the decisions he did or didn’t make, he could crystallize some of the confusing aspects of the report. He could correct misinformation simply by restating what’s in the report publicly, which could be compelling for people who haven’t studied the chapter and verse of the Mueller report (which is almost everyone). But it doesn’t seem Mueller wants any part of blowing the lid off this. Which means, as previously emphasized, that expectations about his testimony should be tempered. This is a man who, as Politico’s Darren Samuelsohn recapped Tuesday, has testified to Congress more than 50 times. And if he’s not anxious to make this all about him, he probably won’t
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.’
For the Democratic candidates, winnowing is already at work WASHINGTON — “We’re cutting out some of this ear hair that you get when you get older,” said the 46-yearold manchild who is auditioning to be Skateboarderin-Chief. Live-streaming his visit to an El Paso barbershop, Beto O’Rourke continued: “It grows out of your ears, and if you don’t get it cut, it can be nasty.” You might respond to this, as you perhaps did to O’Rourke’s prior livestreaming of his dentalcleaning appointment, by thinking: TMI. This is, however, not too much information. It is exactly the sort of information we need about the Democrats seeking their party’s presidential nomination. Markets are information-generating mechanisms, and the political market is working. Before she is winnowed out, perhaps before Iowa’s first frost, note New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s campaign slogan: “Brave Wins.” It pats her on the back for unspecified acts of bravery, but this strange conjunction of words is the most vacuous advertising noise this side of Miller Lite’s current slogan: “Hold True.” The first substantive sentence — this counts as substance nowadays — in New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s video announcing his candidacy is: “There’s plenty of money in this world, there’s plenty of money in this country, it’s just in the wrong hands.” He is a socialist who means it: Redistribution and nothing but, because wealth creation is so 20th century, now that there is “plenty” of money sloshing around. His solutions to our national problems include banning Manhattan: “the glass and steel skyscrapers that have contributed so much to global warming” have “no place in our city or on our Earth anymore.” A thought experiment: If O’Rourke, de Blasio and some other presidential candidates were Republican moles insinuated into the
WASHINGTON POST
GEORGE F.
WILL Democratic scramble in order to make that party look absurd and the current president look thoughtful, how would they behave differently? Pete Buttigieg, 37, is supposed to be one of the adults in the room, but he, like de Blasio, envisions national enlargement through subtraction. He has joined the progressive pile-on against the Founders who, say their current despisers, are inferior to our enlightened selves. Radio host Hugh Hewitt asked Buttigieg whether the Democratic Party’s annual Jefferson-Jackson Day dinners should be renamed. Jackson’s seriously disagreeable behaviors have already caused him to be tossed down the memory hole (see George Orwell’s “1984” on erasing the past). But Buttigieg said “Jefferson is more problematic” because, although there is much to admire in Jefferson’s thinking, “he knew slavery was wrong” and did not act accordingly. So, scrubbing Jefferson’s name from things is “the right thing to do.” Well, then, what does Buttigieg propose for the Jefferson Memorial’s prime real estate on Washington’s Tidal Basin? Perhaps an annex for the expanded Supreme Court that he, the supposed moderate who is less than half as old as The Venerable Moderate, proposes to pack? Speaking of Joe Biden, at a campaign rally in Philadelphia last Saturday he said, “I believe Democrats want to unify this nation. That’s what our party’s always been
about.” This is an interesting interpretation of the 1850s, but a significant portion of the nation does not turn its lonely eyes to Biden for history tutorials. Rather, it is looking for political insurance that it will have a 2020 choice that does not make them wince. A choice that will shuffle sufficient electoral votes to strike the tent of today’s White House circus. In 2004, just three states gave their electoral votes to a different party than in 2000. In 2008, nine states changed from 2004. In 2012, two changed from 2008. In 2016, six changed from 2012. Are Democrats asking the sort of question Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., asked after Ronald Reagan trounced Jimmy Carter in 1980: “Even Herbert Hoover got more electoral votes [in 1932] than President Carter. We have to ask what happened and why.” What happened in 2016 was that the Democratic Party’s nominating process produced a candidate whom Donald Trump defeated by 17 points among the 18% of voters who had negative views of both him and her. And he won by 51 points among the 15% of the electorate who thought neither he nor she was qualified to be president. By the time Mitt Romney had run the Republicans nominating gantlet in 2012, he had the lowest positive rating and highest negative rating of any recent majorparty nominee. Biden’s Democratic rivals should ponder this as they sharpen their knives. George Will’s email address is georgewill@washpost.com. (c) 2019, Washington Post Writers Group George F.

Flu outbreak prompts largest border detention center to stop processing migrants Manny Fernandez The New York Times News Service
HOUSTON — Border Patrol officials have temporarily stopped processing apprehended migrants at the agency’s largest detention center, in the South Texas city of McAllen, after detainees there showed signs of a flu-related illness. The halt was ordered late Tuesday, a day after the death of a 16-year-old Guatemalan boy who was sick with the flu and had been in custody at the center. On Tuesday, medical staff at the facility — known as the Centralized Processing Center or Ursula, from its address on Ursula Avenue — identified a large number of migrants with high fevers and flu-related symptoms. Officials decided to temporarily suspend all intake procedures for migrants to “avoid the spread of illness,” the Border Patrol’s parent agency, Customs and Border Protection, said in a statement. The Centralized Processing Center remains in operation, but is no longer receiving new migrants, officials said. Migrants apprehended in the area are now being processed at other locations. The move has raised new questions and controversy over the conditions and the medical care in Border Patrol facilities, as
the agency scrambles to handle a surge of migrants arriving from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. The 16-year-old boy, Carlos Gregorio Hernandez Vasquez, was found dead Monday morning. He was the third migrant child — all of them from Guatemala — to die in Customs and Border Protection custody in recent months. A fourth, another 16-year-old Guatemalan boy, died last month after being placed in a migrant youth shelter by the Department of Health and Human Services. Carlos was sick with influenza, but the cause of death is not yet known. The agency said it has begun an investigation into his death. Though it was unclear exactly how many detainees showed flu-related symptoms Tuesday at Ursula, it appeared to be only a small fraction of the hundreds of migrants who are processed there daily. Officials have struggled to house and care for a flood of Central American families, most of whom turn themselves in after crossing the border illegally. In the busiest Border Patrol sector — the Rio Grande Valley Sector, which includes McAllen — the holding capacity of the agency’s facilities is 3,363 detained migrants, but more than 8,000 were in custody last week.
Justice Dept. says it will share some Mueller-related intelligence with House committee Nicholas Fandos The New York Times News Service
WASHINGTON — The House Intelligence Committee chairman said Wednesday that the Justice Department had agreed to begin honoring a subpoena for intelligence materials related to the special counsel’s investigation, staving off Democratic action to try to force compliance. The department could begin handing over counterintelligence and foreign intelligence related documents as soon as this week, the chairman, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Wednesday morning. The action prompted him to cancel a committee meeting scheduled for later in the day at which Democrats had planned to vote on an unspecified “enforcement action” to increase pressure on the department. But it was unclear if the agreement was a sign of a broader thaw in tensions between the Democratic House and the Trump adminstration or a limited concession based on the strength of the Intelligence Committee’s legal case for getting the information. Just a few hours later, President Donald Trump abruptly blew up a meeting with Democratic leaders over infrastructure, citing
his rage at Democrats’ “phony” investigations and pledging not to work with them on other matters until the inquiries are ended. Schiff’s subpoena is broad, encompassing Robert Mueller’s full report, its underlying evidence and the intelligencerelated materials his investigation produced. But in an effort to find an initial compromise, Schiff said he would accept documents in 12 narrower categories, though he has not specified publicly what they are. Speaking with reporters a short time later, he said the initial compliance “does not obviate the need for the subpoena.” He added: “We will keep that in force until we get all the documents we are seeking.” The potential détente stands in sharp contrast to relations between the Justice Department and the House Judiciary Committee, where tensions over a similar subpoena for Mueller’s full report and evidence quickly escalated. Unable to reach an accommodation, the Judiciary Committee moved this month to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress and Trump invoked executive privilege.
New York passes bill giving Congress a way to get Trump’s state tax returns Jesse McKinley The New York Times News Service ALBANY — Even before he was elected president, Donald Trump had steadfastly refused to release his federal tax returns, bucking years of tradition among presidential candidates. His intransigence deepened once he entered the White House, defying a congressional subpoena for the tax records. Now, however, a nine-page workaround by the New York State Legislature may serve as a way for Congress to get its hands on a trove of Trump’s tax information. On Wednesday, the Democratic-led Legislature passed a bill that would permit New York state tax officials to hand over Trump’s state returns to any one of three congressional committees. Such returns — filed in New York, the president’s home state and business headquarters — would likely contain much of the same information as the contested federal returns. The bill is expected to be signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a third-term Democrat and regular critic of Trump’s policies and behavior. While lawmakers in the state Assembly and Senate hailed their action as a victory for states’ rights, there were still numerous questions as to whether the president and his legal team would fight the effort to get Trump’s state returns. Republicans here and elsewhere have already called the effort in Albany a “bill of attainder,” aimed at a single person, while also decrying the potential invasion of privacy, ripe for improper “fishing expeditions” by federal officials. Steven M. Rosenthal, a tax
lawyer and senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, said he would not be surprised if the president fought the state law, though he believed it passed legal muster. “Of course, the Legislature was motivated by Donald Trump’s current refusals,” Rosenthal said, but added that he thought the bill was written broadly enough to avoid the “bill of attainder” accusation. That opinion was echoed by Brian Galle, a law professor at Georgetown University Law School, who said that “bills of attainder have been interpreted really narrowly by the courts,” and noted that legislation often describes targeted industries or municipalities in vague terms. (In New York, for instance, state bills aimed at New York City are typically described as those affecting “a city with a population of 1 million or more,” as New York is the only such city in the state.) “The bill doesn’t say you can release Donald Trump, and only Donald Trump’s, tax returns,” Galle said. Lawmakers took steps to safeguard the bill from legal challenges, amending the wording so that it covered an array of public officials, federal executive branch employees and political party leaders. Under the legislation, the commissioner of the New York Department of Taxation and Finance would be permitted to release returns to the chairmen of the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee and the Joint Committee on Taxation for any “specified and legitimate legislative purpose.” The passage of the state tax
bill is just the latest action in Albany directed at Trump, who is deeply unpopular in his home state. On Tuesday, the Assembly passed a bill that would allow state prosecutors to pursue state charges against any person granted a presidential pardon on similar federal charges, undoing a loophole in the face of concern about Trump abusing his pardon power to indemnify former associates. The Senate had previously passed the bill to close the so-called double jeopardy loophole, and it, too, has Cuomo’s support. State Sen. Brad Hoylman, the sponsor of the state tax bill, said he envisioned the bill as a way to assist congressional oversight at a time of “White House stonewalling.” Indeed, when the bill was first introduced in early April, U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said it would make the work of federal committee “a little easier to see the complete picture.” During his campaign for president in 2016, Trump broke precedent — and set his own — by refusing to release his tax returns, citing what he said were pending federal audits. There is no law preventing taxpayers from releasing their returns under such circumstances. More recently, the House Ways and Means Committee has sought six years of the president’s personal and business tax returns, a request that has also gone unfulfilled by Trump or the White House. The Treasury Department said last week that it would not honor a congressional subpoena to hand over the president’s returns, saying the request lacked a “legitimate
legislative purpose,” though a leaked draft memorandum from the IRS suggested that such logic was flawed. The president has indicated that he is prepared to take the legal fight over his returns to the Supreme Court. David Buchwald, the Assembly sponsor of the state tax bill and a tax lawyer by trade, said that he was confident the state was within its rights to allow federal access to such records, noting that state tax officials commonly share information with the IRS and other states. “There are no valid constitutional arguments against this legislation,” Buchwald said Wednesday. “The state has the authority over the statutes when it shares tax return information.” He noted that local property tax information, for instance, was available to the public. Galle seconded this, saying “there is no constitutional right to have privacy in your tax returns,” though federal law offers some protections of such information, as well as exceptions. While New York is a blue state, the support was not unanimous in the Democratic-led Assembly. Michael Benedetto, a Bronx Democrat, voted no, saying the bill troubled him. On Wednesday, the top Republican in the state Senate, John J. Flanagan, was also outraged that Democrats had “wasted weeks on their singular obsession with getting a peek at President Trump’s taxes,” while other issues languished.
Police equate accepting leaked documents with ‘criminal conspiracy’ to justify raid on reporter Alex Horton and Eli Rosenberg The Washington Post
Amid national outcry, San Francisco Police Chief William Scott is on his heels after raiding a reporter’s home for refusing to disclose the name of a source. On Tuesday, Scott held a news conference to say he suspects that freelance reporter Bryan Carmody was involved in a criminal conspiracy to obtain documents that were leaked to him by someone inside the police department. “Our actions reflect that we believe Mr. Carmody was a suspect in a criminal conspiracy to steal this confidential report,” Scott said at a news conference, referring to a police report on the death of prominent public defender Jeff Adachi. But Scott struggled with squaring the accusation with protections of the First Amendment and state laws, which shield reporters who gather leaked government documents for news operations - a routine activity in the profession. Scott said only Carmody received and distributed the report. To obtain the report, Scott said, the department believes Carmody was in contact with a police official. But he declined questions about how those actions eclipsed the typical role of a freelance reporter who sells videos, additional reporting and documents to local outlets, such as Carmody did in this case. Carmody “went past doing (his) job as a journalist,” Scott said. Police are investigating whether Carmody paid a source for the document. Carmody has told The Washington Post he does not pay sources. The raid and seizure of documents and equipment have prompted waves of concern among free-speech advocates and the public that police overstepped clear laws meant to protect journalists. “There is an ongoing, deep misunderstanding of the city government about what reporters do, and why it’s protected under the U.S. Constitution,” said David Snyder, executive director of the First
Amendment Coalition, a nonprofit speech advocacy group. On May 10, officers bashed in Carmody’s door with a sledgehammer, handcuffed the journalist and took hard drives, phones and other documents, including the report. That raid came two weeks after Carmody declined to tell investigators who provided him the report. “We know that looks bad,” Scott said about the sledgehammer use. “I’m not here to try to defend (the raid).” Carmody, a freelance journalist, was identified by Scott as a reporter, though he declined to answer a question at the conference about whether his profession was listed in the search warrant signed by a judge. Thomas Burke, an attorney for Carmody, said he looked forward to the warrant being unsealed. The First Amendment Coalition filed a motion to unseal it. Scott said his office did not consult with San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon during the warrant process. “That communication would have been helpful,” Scott conceded. Gascon said Tuesday that his office had not seen the warrant or the facts that support it.
“But absent a showing that a journalist broke the law to obtain the information that police are looking for, I can’t imagine a situation in which a search warrant would be appropriate,” he wrote on Twitter. The Police Department and Gascon’s office did not return a request for comment asking whether investigators submitted the copies of the warrant to the D.A.’s office, which appears to be a requirement under the department’s general orders. The two Superior Court judges who each signed a search warrant for Carmody’s home and office, Victor Hwang and Gail Dekreon, did not previously respond to questions sent to court spokeswoman Megan Filly. She said they were prohibited by state code from commenting on a pending case. News media associations, among them the Society of Professional Journalists and Radio Television Digital News Association, have condemned the police action. Carmody occupies a small corner of the industry, working every night from about 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. to chase news as it comes across police scanners. He then sells photos, videos and interview footage to TV stations for their morning

Senior Day well attended; remembering the radio The long awaited sunny weekend happened! It was so wonderful to be able to work out in the garden, looking at the tulips and checking the buds of the lilacs to “hasten” them along. It felt so very good to be able to feel the sun on aching backs and shoulders. We moved out to the porches for a couple of days. Right now I’m sitting through a torrential thunderstorm, but can see blue skies over Jewett Mountain. It got downright hot today with the humidity seeping in, but at least it was sunny and not cold and rainy. Senior Day at The Catskill Point was very well attended by Mountaintop people. WAJPL signed in 36, plus a few more came down on their own. Some came as a support to our veterans, others came to honor Bob Hoagland, who was born in Dr. Mulberry’s office and lived on the Holdridge Farm as a boy. Congratulations, Bob, as Greene County Volunteer of the Year! More than 300 senior citizens from Greene County attended the festivities. It is always a good time, with many giveaways from vendors plus a full meal. We all came home with full tummies and full bags. Anyone need a pen? I hope everyone has had some rhubarb pie already. Maybe some sauce (compote, stew), or Judy’s favorite rhubarbtini. Do you know that rhubarb is a vegetable? In England it is served as a savory dish. Have you tried it with pork chops? One of Rose’s favorite meals. A barbecue sauce

ANDERSON made with rhubarb is mighty tasty over ribs. Since it’s coming up like gangbusters, now is the perfect time to search the many different recipes using rhubarb. Pie will be optional. I heard that the Jewett Strawberry Social will be held June 15. Mark it on your calendars. On June 3, the WAJPL Golden Agers will be having a special “Honor the Flag” ceremony as part of their social meeting. We invite all veterans to come and be recognized. If you have an old flag that needs to be destroyed, please bring it. An old, dirty, torn, tattered flag is just as disrespectful as improperly displaying it. I see the people who attach them to their pickups and keep driving until it’s barely recognizable. That, and losing it on the side of the road and not going back for it, just letting it lie in the gutter. The meeting starts at 1:30 p.m. in the Senior Hall downstairs at the Windham Town Hall in Hensonville. Thanks to all who took part in the Ashland Church barbecue. It was a rousing success. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the sides were delish. There were so many

AS I REMEMBER IT Many are talking about recycling and going green, and I consider all that we used to do and never called it anything special. Today, as promised, I will talk about the radio. My grandfather had one of the old, large, brown, tabletop models. It came to a point at the top. He only listened to the news at 6 p.m.. His man (newscaster) was Edward R. Murrow. We all sat around, scarcely breathing, while we listened to what was happening in the world. There was NO TALKING during the news. You sat and listened until the radio was turned off. I remember the advertisement for Pepsi: “Pepsi Cola hits the spot, 12 full ounces, that’s a lot. Twice as much for a nickel, too. Pepsi Cola is the drink for you. Nickel, nickel, nickel, nickel, nickel.” I was young when Gramps would listen to FDR and his Fireside Chats. It was so exciting to hear the President of the United States talking in your house. We heard all about the war, and what was happening in the world. There are some things that you just don’t forget even after all of these years. We heard about the bombing of Pearl Harbor shortly after it happened, and followed the messenger from the President through Congress to declare war on Japan. We felt like we were there.

the radio would fade out, and Grampa would go and tap the top and sides to get reception. Haha, you laugh, but sometimes it worked. The radio had glass tubes to make it work. If the same one kept blowing out you had spares, but most times you didn’t throw it out, but sent it to a repairman. You had your own special guy that you went to: Frank Munson, Dorville Gifford, Red Bailey (Dawn Thorp’s dad), Vinnie Laterza, Mr. Lombard. (An interesting aside about Mrs. Lombard: She was one of the first women preachers. Now we have so many, including myself, Jackie K., and Jessica Franz, but at the time, she was considered a very unusual woman.) They generally had a shop alongside their house loaded with electronic devices waiting to be fixed, or to be used for spare parts. Tubes were checked on a machine to see if they were good. Speaker wires were soldered back on, things were jiggled and wiggled until they worked.
Then came the Space Program and the need for miniaturization. Remember your first transistor radio? There was nothing left to wiggle and jiggle. But we all had one. We could actually go into our rooms, or outside, and listen to what WE wanted, when we wanted. We listened to WGY out of Albany, your parent’s station, WABC from New York, rock and roll, now considered classics, WROW, light rock from Albany, and the Country Western station from Albany. Our radios became larger, again, boom boxes, as we needed larger sound to make ourselves heard. We combined cassettes with the radio, and later CDs. Now we have our phones that can download music, and we can listen to radio stations from around the world on our computers and phones. We still rely on our radios and have our very own WRIP to get our local news and events, and to keep in touch. What do you remember about the old radio?

‘Camelot’ returns to begin the Mac-Haydn season CHATHAM — The MacHaydn Theatre kicks off its 51st season with the Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe classic Camelot, running May 23 through June 2. This soaring Lerner and Loewe masterpiece tells the tale of the legendary love triangle between King Arthur, Guenevere, and Sir Lancelot. The fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance as a young idealistic Arthur, with his roundtable, try to maintain honor and dignity. Classic hits like “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “The Lusty Month of May,” and the title song “Camelot” will thrill and delight. Stepping into the role of King Arthur is Mac-Haydn favorite Gabe Belyeu, kicking off his tenth season in Chatham. Last summer, audiences loved Gabe in Damn Yankees, Mamma Mia, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Annie. Some of Gabe’s career highlights include the National
Madison Stratton, Gabe Belyeu, Nick Miller in “Camelot”.
Tours of Showboat and Jesus Christ Superstar with Ted Neeley. Madison Stratton returns to The Mac-Haydn as the beautiful and spirited Guenevere after her performance as Tonya in last season’s fan-favorite production of Mamma Mia. Madison’s New York theatre credits include Baby, A New Musical Off-Broadway and the National
Tour of Ragtime. Nick Miller makes his MacHaydn debut as Sir Lancelot. Nick was recently seen as Falstaff in Mixed Precipitation’s Merry Wives of Windsor, Plunkett in Utopia Opera’s Martha, and Judd in the Engeman Theatre’s production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!, which he will reprise in
Mac-Haydn’s production in August. Fresh off the national tour of Spamalot, Dakota Dutcher returns to the Mac in the roles of Merlyn and Pellinore. Dakota was seen last season as Cliff Bradshaw in The Berkshire Theatre Award nominated Cabaret. Rounding out the cast are Mac-Haydn alumni Emma Flynn and Gino Cardoni as Morgan Le Fey and Mordred, respectively. Emma and Gino were both members of the resident company in the 2018 season, during which audiences loved Gino as Sky in Mamma Mia and Emma as Holly in The Wedding Singer. Camelot is directed by James Benjamin Rodgers and choreographed by Elizabeth McGuire, with costume design by Alison Zador and scenic design by Kevin Gleason.

The Amy Ryan Band VALATIE — The perfect blend of Country Blues mojo and urban blues and rock! When guitarist Richard Green heard Amy Ryan’s solo performances in New York’s Capital Region, he saw an opportunity to combine his own blues guitar chops with a gusty female singer and the potential to create a great blues band. An early iteration of a group came together quickly the musical experiment was successful enough that the Amy Ryan Band was soon born. Melding together Amy’s
The Amy Ryan Band
country blues mojo with Richards urban blues and
rock sensibilities, this musical partnership is rounded
out by the addition of bassist Steve Dietemann, drummer Al Bauman and Ed Stein on keyboards, all of whom contribute greatly to the success of the band with their own experiences with jazz, funk and rock. With a repertoire that includes band adaptations of Amy’s self-penned solo tunes, newly minted originals, and select covers, the Amy Ryan Band rocks the blues! Come and hear great music at the Valatie Community Theatre on Saturday, May 25th 8PM. Tickets are only $10.00.
‘The Moors’ a play by Jen Silverman CATSKILL — Coming next to Catskill’s adventurous Bridge Street Theatre is the second production in its 2019 Subscription Series – THE MOORS, a darkly comic work from Jen Silverman, one of the hottest young playwrights in the U.S. today. Two spinster sisters, their possibly schizophrenic maid, and a melancholy and philosophical mastiff spend their days and nights dreaming of love and power in a ruinous old estate on the desolate, fog-enshrouded English heath (though, oddly, all of them seem to speak with American accents, including the dog). When the arrival of a hapless governess (even though no children are in evidence) and a crash-prone moor hen upset the already precarious balance of the household, romances bloom, alliances are formed, lies are unmasked, loyalties shift, and the tension mounts until finally – some-
one reaches the breaking point! Tracy Liz Miller directs this mysterious, menacing, and savagely funny postmodern mash-up of the Bronte Sisters and Samuel Beckett. Costumes are by Jennifer Anderson, Sets and Lights by John Sowle, Sound by Steven Patterson and Carmen Borgia, and the Stage Manager is Joshua Martin. This production is made possible in part by generous underwriting support from Jay Lesenger. “The Moors” is recommended for audiences ages 13+ and plays Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:00pm from May 30 – June 9, 2019. Advance tickets are $22, $25 at the door, and $10 for students. Get Advance Discounted tickets at BrownPaperTickets.com or by calling 800838-3006
Rogue director meets reserved Soviet leader By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media
A prodigious amount of planning went into the making of “Meeting Gorbachev,” which is like an awestruck hero-worship party about the march and meaning of history. The movie flows smoothly and easily, creating the impression that we are merely observing a question-and-answer session between the German director Werner Herzog and Mikhael S. Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union and the two men turn themselves into perfect foils. Herzog, who directed the movie with associate Andre Singer, filmed three interviews with Gorbachev over six months in 2018. Interviewer and subject couldn’t be more different in style and temperament. Herzog begins by noting the historical tensions between Germany and the former Soviet Union. “The first German that you probably met wanted to kill you,” Herzog says in the first of many statements that could be questions, and vice versa. Gorbachev politely denies it and goes on to say that he has many German friends.
FILE PHOTO
Gorbachev coolly deflects the ascetic Herzog’s crackpot charm — at one point the director calls the former Soviet president “one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century” — by giving direct, intense responses. Gorbachev, who dealt with the likes of U.S. President Ronald Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, both tough customers with king-sized egos, doesn’t give in to Herzog’s glittery-eyed reverence. Foxy and pensive at one moment, brash and loquacious the next, the bulky Gorbachev, who was 87 when Herzog interviewed him, brings a suave, hypnotic quality to his diction and manner.
Herzog, who is 76 and questions Gorbachev in his distinctively gruff, deep-toned German rasp, fashioned a new career by switching from overscaled, idiosyncratic features (“Aguirre, the Wrath of God,” “Fitzcarraldo”) to intimate documentaries (“Grizzly Man,” “Lo and Behold”). As both feature director and documentarian, he has an affinity for eccentric, off-kilter personalities such as the German actor Klaus Kinski, which makes him an odd fit with an all-business world leader like Gorbachev. We see Gorbachev mainly from Herzog’s point of view, and the two men, who don’t
seem to be friends, at least respect each other. This allows Herzog to unleash the snarky, darkly funny asides that characterize all of his features and documentaries. For example, asked about Boris Yeltsin, the first president of post-Soviet Russia, Gorbachev can barely conceal his distaste. “I should have sent him off somewhere,” Gorbachev growls. And in summarizing Gorbachev’s road to the Kremlin, Herzog turns the succession of previous Soviet leaders into a running visual gag as Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko, all physically or mentally infirm, died within three years. Herzog as an interviewer rambles and has trouble coming to the point, but he’s stronger at shaping this material into a story about a perfect global storm of the right political personalities coming together at the right time and right place to end the Cold War and stave off disaster. Responding to Herzog’s outrageousness with calm probity, Gorbachev is the star and hero. Despite its weaknesses, “Meeting Gorbachev” rewards the viewer with drama, hilarity and insight.
CALENDAR LISTINGS TSL Movies May 23 - May 30 n Hail Satan — Chronicling the rise of one of the most colorful and controversial religious movements in American history, Hail Satan? is an inspiring and entertaining new feature documentary. When mediasavvy members of the Satanic Temple organize a series of public actions designed to advocate for religious freedom and challenge corrupt authority, they prove that with little more than a clever idea, a mischievous sense of humor, and a few rebellious friends, you can speak truth to power in profound ways. 2019. 1h35m. n Dogman — In a seaside village on the outskirts of an Italian city where the only law seems to be survival of the fittest, Marcello is a mild-mannered man who divides his days between working at his dog grooming salon, caring for his daughter Alida, and being coerced into the petty criminal schemes of the local bully Simoncino, an ex-boxer who terrorizes the neighborhood. When Simoncino’s abuse finally brings Marcello to a breaking point, he decides to stand up for his own dignity through an act of vengeance, with unintended consequences. In Italian with subtites. 2018. 1h42m. n A Long Day’s Journey Into Night — Bi Gan follows up his knockout debut, Kaili Blues, with this noir-tinged stunner about a lost soul on a quest to find a missing woman from his past. Following leads across Guizhou province, he crosses paths with a series of colorful characters, among them a prickly hairdresser played by Taiwanese superstar Sylvia Chang. When the search leads him to a dingy movie theater, the film launches into an hour-long, gravity-defying sequence that plunges its protagonist into a labyrinthine cityscape. China’s biggest arthouse hit of all time. In Mandarin with subtitles. 2018. 2h13m n Asako I&II — One day Asako’s first love suddenly disappears. Two years later, she meets his perfect double. An official selection of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, Asako I & II is the newest film from Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, the acclaimed director of Happy Hour. In Japanese with subtitles. 2018. 1h59m. n Art and Mind — An exploration of visionary artists and the creative impulse, from the Flemish Masters of the Renaissance to the avantgarde movement of Surrealism and the unsung geniuses of Art Brut and Outsider Art. The film features many artists including Hieronymus Bosch, Francisco Goya, Vincent Van Gogh, William Blake, Edvard Munch, Salvador Dali, and many more. In English and French with subtitles. 2019. 1h10m. n Red Joan — Joan Stanley (Judi Dench) is a widow living out retirement in the suburbs when the British Secret Service places her under arrest. The charge: providing classified scientific information – including details on the building of the atomic bomb – to the Soviet government for decades. Joan relives the dramatic events that shaped her life: her student days at Cambridge, where she excelled at physics while challenging sexism; her affair with a political radical; and the devastation of World War II, which inspired her to risk everything in pursuit of peace. Based on a sensational true story. 2019. 1h50m. n Wild Nights With Emily — Emily Dickinson is writing prolifically, baking gingerbread, and enjoying a passionate, romantic relationship with another woman, her friend and sister-in-law, Susan. Yes, this is the iconic American poet, popularly thought to have been a recluse. Beloved comic and Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live) leads in this humorous yet bold reappraisal of Dickinson. While seeking publication of some of the 1,775 poems written during her life, Emily (Shannon) faces the male literary gatekeepers too confused by her genius to take her work seriously. Vibrant, irreverent, and tender – a timely critique of how women’s history is rewritten. 2019. 1h24m.

The law provides no exceptions for rape and incest. “The idea for particularly rape and incest — for things that are violent against women, this is just another act of violence to not be able to decide,” Catskill resident Judy Dryland said as she held up a sign that read, “Together we fight for all.” Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky and Ohio recently passed laws banning abortion
at about six weeks, when cardiac activity is usually detected. Meanwhile, a Missouri law is awaiting Gov. Michael L. Parson’s signature banning abortion at eight weeks.

We’re going to fight for women’s rights and we’re going to get women’s rights.” No counter-protesters were seen at the rally Tuesday, but a few passersby shouted their support for President Donald Trump. Some protesters feared that Roe v. Wade, the 1973
Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, is under threat, in part, because Trump has appointed two conservative judges during his first term in office. “We’re having to revisit this whole issue, unfortunately. We have to stand up for it and not lose the right, the choice,” Catskill resident Roz Viemeister said. “It is scary. I don’t want to go back.” “It is scary that it its spreading,” she added. “It might not be New York, but it is
spreading too quickly. You have to squash it.” Hochul told the protesters that she presided while Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins told the state Senate that the state’s Reproductive Health Act had passed.

Steve Nash believes his godson RJ Barrett is ready to excite Knicks fans Stefan Bondy New York Daily News
The Knicks’ next teenage savior — or the one that’s expected to land in New York — has a mentor with two NBA MVPs and a strong belief. For Steve Nash, it’s not just that RJ Barrett is a special talent with the body and game tailored for today’s NBA. It’s also that Barrett accepted his status in Zion Williamson’s enormous shadow, and history shows humility is important to thrive at the Garden. People without it (ahem, Stephon Marbury and Phil Jackson) are eaten alive. “I think he’ll be an exciting player for Knicks fans. He’s able to handle that type of stuff (of being in New York) because he’s been at Duke but he’s also been one of the top, if not the No. 1 kid, since he’s been 13, 14 years old. So he’s able to handle it,” Nash told the Daily News in a phone interview from L.A. “And then to have Zion sort of eclipse him in the draft and in the public view this season, and then to watch the way he’s handled it and the way he’s been — he’s never pointed a finger, he never GEOFF BURKE/USA TODAY made an excuse. Duke Blue Devils forward RJ Barrett (5) drives to the basket as Michigan State Spartans forward Aaron Henry (11) “He’s only embraced Zion as his defends in the championship game of the east regional of the 2019 NCAA Tournament at Capital One Arena. teammate and that says a lot about his character. It’s difficult at that age to your own team, and he’s handled all huge characteristic for a professional predicts what type of ceiling you have be anointed so young and then have that so well. He’s a very mature and athlete. You have ups and downs, and how many obstacles you oversomebody eclipse you, especially on good-spirited person, which I think is it’s how you deal with them kind of come.”
Nash can speak on Barrett with authority as his godfather. He and Barrett’s father, Rowan, were teammates on the Canadian National Team and obviously friendly enough to foster this familial bond. That continued even as basketball kept them separated during the season, with Nash in Phoenix or L.A. and his godson growing up in Toronto. Nash, coincidentally, will be in New York the day before the draft for his annual Chinatown charity soccer game (more on that later), but unfortunately can’t attend Barrett’s big night in Barclays Center because his wife is expecting in California. Still, Nash is available for advice and basketball lessons. He’s always been good with assists. “If he ever needs anything or he’s going through a tough time or something that’s bothering him. He never hesitates to reach out,” said Nash, 45, who has attended some of Barrett’s recent training sessions in L.A. “I was in the gym working out with him the other day.” If the Knicks keep their third overall pick (and that’s a big IF with Anthony Davis on the market), picking Barrett feels like fait accompli. The Pelicans are locked into Zion Williamson at No. 1 overall, and the Grizzlies are reportedly keen on Murray State’s Ja Morant with the second pick.

Patriots extend Edelman through 2021 Field Level Media
The Patriots finalized a two-year extension worth $21 million to perhaps keep Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman in New England for his entire career. According to multiple reports, the extension includes an $8 million signing bonus and $12 million guaranteed. The 32-year-old wide receiver’s contract was set to expire after the 2019 season. He signed a two-year, $11 million deal in June 2017. Since the Patriots drafted him in the seventh round in 2009, Edelman has played in 115 regular-season games and tallied 499 receptions for 5,390 yards and 30 touchdowns.

NFL won’t change overtime rules Mark Maske The Washington Post
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — The NFL isn’t making any changes this offseason to its overtime rules. A proposal by the Kansas City Chiefs to guarantee each team at least one possession in overtime was not ratified by owners during their one-day meeting Wednesday at a Florida resort. The Chiefs’ proposal came back up for consideration after being discussed and tabled at the annual league meeting in March in Phoenix. No vote was taken by the owners Wednesday on the proposal due to a lack of support. It was clear that the measure would not generate the 24 votes among the 32 teams necessary for ratification. The Chiefs made their proposal after losing last season’s AFC championship game on a touchdown by the New England Patriots on the opening possession of overtime. That is the lone scenario by which an overtime game can end after one possession. Chiefs officials had said they made their proposal out of a sense of fairness, not merely in reaction to the outcome of the AFC title game. Supporters of the proposal contended that such an evenhanded approach to overtime has become more important than ever in this age of high-powered NFL offenses, given the increased likelihood that the team that wins the coin flip to begin overtime will be able to drive to a first-possession touchdown. But others are wary of extending games any further and argue that a team has no legitimate gripe if its defense fails to stop an opponent from getting an openingdrive touchdown in overtime.
There was some sentiment for making the Chiefs’ proposal apply only to postseason games, when the stakes are higher and the concern about longer games is lessened. But some within the sport are reluctant to have different sets of overtime rules for regular season and postseason games. So the overtime format remains unchanged for the 2019 season. The team that gets the ball first in overtime can win with a touchdown. If that team gets a field goal, its opponent gets a possession with a chance to tie the game with a field goal or win it with a touchdown. If both teams get field goals, the next team to score wins. The NFL shortened overtime from 15 to 10 minutes for preseason and regular season games before the 2017 season. The owners also voted Wednesday to authorize the rulemaking competition committee to make a future tweak, if the committee decides to do so before the 2019 season, to the new measure to make pass interference reviewable by instant replay. Owners approved that measure in March in the aftermath of the missed pass interference call in the NFC championship game that helped cost the New Orleans Saints a spot in the Super Bowl. The system approved by the owners allows coaches to challenge interference calls and non-calls in the first 28 minutes of each half; the decision to review any interference call in the final two minutes of each half must be made by the replay assistant. The competition committee now has the authority to eliminate the replay assistant from the decision-making process and have all replay-for-interference determinations made by coaches under the existing challenge system.
a reported one-year, $3.5 million deal worth up to $6.5 million with incentives. –Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree’ Jackson had offseason foot/ankle surgery and is in a walking boot, NFL Network reported. It’s unclear if he’ll be ready for training camp. Tight end Delanie Walker participated in individual drills and told reporters he’s “in the 85-percent range” as he recovers from a September ankle injury that required surgery. –Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed will be out until training camp as he recovers from sports hernia surgery, head coach Pete Carroll said. Reed was originally given a four-to-six week timeline for the surgery, which happened in late April. –The New Orleans Saints signed former Carolina Panthers defensive end Wes Horton and waived linebacker Darrell Williams. Horton, 29, has seven sacks and 10 quarterback hits in 32 games (eight starts) over the past two seasons. –The Jets signed wideout Deonte Thompson and waived wideout Xavier Ubosi. Thompson, 30, caught 17 passes for 167 yards in 13 games between the Bills and Cowboys last season. –After considering retirement, linebacker Gerald Hodges intends to keep playing, ESPN reported, noting he is “drawing interest from several teams.” Hodges, 28, had 55 tackles in 16 games for the Cardinals last season.
OJ Simpson’s No. 32 given to Bills player for first time in 42 years Des Bieler The Washington Post
Senorise Perry doesn’t figure to get on the field very often this season for the Bills, but even on the sidelines, he’ll draw attention from Buffalo fans. The veteran running back, in his first season with the team, has been given a No. 32 jersey. That number was last seen worn by a Bills player in 1977, when O.J. Simpson played his last season for Buffalo before spending the final two years of his career in San Francisco. Since then, Simpson has become a figure of considerable controversy. He served time in prison after being being convicted on armed robbery and kidnapping charges. More notably, Simpson was charged in connection with the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. He was acquitted on those charges after a high-profile trial in 1995. Simpson is also a former Hall of Fame running back who was a six-time Pro Bowler. He was named first-team all-pro five times and led the NFL in rushing four times. His Buffalo jersey was not retired but also was never issued to another player. And Perry was surprised to learn he could have it. “I thought it was retired, but then I was told it was available,” the 27-year-old back told the Athletic. “Boom, I took it.” For his part, Simpson said he was “fine” with that, telling the Athletic: “When I played there, I tried to honor the team. Since I left, I always tried to honor the Bills.” Simpson said the jersey number was not something he
thought about. “There’s too much else going on in life,” he said. Simpson, 71, was speaking from Las Vegas, where he has made his home since being released from a Nevada prison in October 2017. He had spent nine years there after being convicted on charges stemming from a 2007 incident in which he forcefully took items related to his playing days from a memorabilia dealer in a Las Vegas hotel room. An episode of far greater notoriety ended in Simpson’s 1995 acquittal on murder charges by a Los Angeles jury, after he was arrested the year before in connection with the violent deaths of Brown Simpson and Goldman. In 1997, a jury in a civil trial found Simpson “responsible” for the murders, and he was ordered to pay $33.5 millions in damages to the families of Brown and Goldman. “I know the situation,” Perry said, but he continued, “I know that greatness comes with that number, playing in Buffalo.” “I’m willing to take anything that comes my way,” said Perry, who was signed for his expected contributions on special teams and has just eight carries in his NFL career. “I’m going into my sixth year, and I know what it takes to get in this league and stay here. “With that number on my back, I know I’m doing well for my family.” Perry wore 32 while playing in college at Louisville, and he kept it after making the Chicago Bears’ roster as an undrafted free agent in 2014. When the Georgia native signed with the Miami Dolphins in 2017, he was
forced to switch to 34 because his number was already being used by running back Kenyan Drake. When Perry got to Buffalo he learned that while 32 was available, 34 was not. It was retired last year in honor of Thurman Thomas, a running back who was a key contributor to the Bills teams that made four straight unsuccessful trips to the Super Bowl between 1991 and 1994. Two other standouts from that era, quarterback Jim Kelly (No. 12) and defensive end Bruce Smith (No. 78), account for the only other retired Bills jerseys. However, a teammate of theirs, wide receiver Andre Reed, is among a handful of former Buffalo stars whose numbers have been placed in “reduced circulation” by the team. Simpson, who was inducted into the Bills’ Wall of Fame in 1980, has a number that also falls into that category. In January 2018, after the Bills made the playoffs for the first time in 18 years, Simpson donned the No. 25 jersey of a Buffalo running back, LeSean McCoy, and watched his former team’s postseason appearance at a Bills fan-friendly bar in Las Vegas. “I kind of wanted to be around Buffalo people to enjoy it,” he told the Buffalo News last year. “In every way shape or form, when I was a player or covering their games for ‘Monday Night Football,’ I’ve always honored the Bills and will continue to do that,” Simpson said to the Athletic. “Whatever they decide to do will not change the way I feel about the people of Buffalo and my time spent there.”

Inside Todd Frazier, Adam Eaton’s renewed feud Deesha Thosar New York Daily News
In order to get to the bottom of the reinvigorated feud between Todd Frazier and Adam Eaton, the 25-man roster of the 2016 White Sox would need to get in a room and be questioned about something that happened three years ago. “I didn’t really want to talk about it. But I heard what he said,” Frazier said on Tuesday. “If you ask guys that winded up playing for 2016 White Sox, ask all 23 of those guys, they know what happened. For him to even talk after that, I don’t know how you talk after that.” The bad blood between Frazier and Eaton is nothing new. These two big league players have outwardly had beef with each other for years now. But their animosity resurfaced when Frazier chirped at
Eaton during the Mets’ 5-3 win over the Nationals on Monday night at Citi Field. Between innings, Eaton walked to his position in right field as Frazier was heading into the dugout. The two exchanged some words and Mets players helped lead Frazier inside, as Nationals players jumped over the rail in the visiting dugout to get involved. That’s as far as the on-field antics went on Monday. When asked about it after the game, Frazier declined to embellish on the altercation. Eaton, however, was not so private. “I’m walking with my head down, play’s over, I’m walking away, I can still hear him,” Eaton told reporters. “I’m a 30-year-old man with two kids, got a mortgage and everything. He wants to loud talk as he’s
running off the field. At the end of the day, I got to be a man about it. I tried to stay patient with the childishness, but it is what it is. I got to stand up eventually.” Eaton’s comments were all Frazier needed to let up and give us a peek into their personal conflict. “Men usually settle it on the field,” Frazier said on Tuesday. “They don’t need to talk about it. But he started it with coming at me with that kind of, ‘I’m a man. I got a mortgage to pay and two kids.’ Pay off your mortgage, I don’t know what to tell you.” Frazier doubled down and called Eaton immature and added, “That’s Adam,” before neglecting to tell reporters how the original feud even began. Although one thing is clear, their hostility began when both played for the chaotic 2016 White
Sox. If one recalls, that’s the same year Chris Sale decided to cut his White Sox jersey with a pair of scissors. Perhaps, the weirdness spread through the clubhouse. Frazier was traded to the White Sox in the offseason of 2015 and Eaton was traded to the Nationals in the winter following the 2016 season. The two players were teammates for just one season. “If you know Adam, like every team he’s been on, you hear what people say,” Frazier said. “You understand him. I was part of it for a year and a half.” Frazier said he was not surprised at Eaton’s comments, again repeating the phrase “That’s Adam.” The Mets third baseman does not believe he crossed a line on Monday when he was chirping at Eaton. “He understands where I’m
coming from,” Frazier said. “He knows it’s past history. He’s going to have to take it, that’s it. I said my piece and I’m done with it now unless something stirs up.” The Mets play the Nationals on Tuesday and Wednesday for the last time before the All-Star break. The two teams will meet again Aug. 9-11 at Citi Field. The final series of the season is Sept. 2-4 in Washington. To be sure, there is little doubt this argument has nothing to do with either player’s finances. And yet, Eaton felt compelled to clarify his comments from Monday. “I have more humility than he does,” Eaton told reporters in the visiting clubhouse on Tuesday. “I threw that out there trying to be a human being. I don’t have a mortgage, thank you.”

Man reveals his travel plans on need-to-know basis
Family Circus
I could use your advice on training my husband. He refuses to enter his work travel schedule on the household calendar. He snapped at me this week when he finally revealed that he was leaving Sunday. It took three more days to get the date he was coming DEAR ABBY back. It was like pulling teeth. It left me with only two days to decide how to enjoy the time alone. I suspect that he’s withholding his travel data to keep me from enjoying myself too much while he’s gone. I think it’s disrespectful to keep your wife in the dark until just a day or two before you leave. I need a way to motivate my man to share his travel dates earlier. I’m at the point where I’m tempted to ignore him and his travel since he is acting more like a child than a husband. I’m not his mommy, and I need to break his mean streak. Advice? Kept In The Dark In Louisiana
29 years. My 30-year anniversary is approaching. People think I should be ready to retire when he does. The problem is, I live paycheck to paycheck, and there is no retirement plan. What little money I had saved went out the window when I got a divorce a few years ago. I know I need to quit and go somewhere that offers REAL benefits, but I feel like leaving will create a huge rift. I adore the patients, and I know they will ask him what happened. I don’t want to seem ungrateful. I know it’s my fault for not demanding more earlier. I get depressed when patients tell me about their retirement plans, or I hear about his. I will be working until I die. I’m afraid he will take the staff out for a nice lunch to celebrate my 30 years, and I will be so sad or bitter that I won’t be able to hide it. Living Paycheck To Paycheck
Stop putting yourself at your husband’s mercy. You are both adults. If you need a break and would like to schedule appointments, see a play, visit with friends, go on a trip, whatever — schedule it regardless of when your husband will be traveling. And ENJOY yourself.
Talk to your boss about your dilemma NOW. In light of the fact that you have worked for him for so long, perhaps he will consider instituting a retirement plan now. If he is unwilling, then it’s time to look for other employment with better compensation and hope you Garfield can find a match even if it means missing the luncheon.

Blood pressure goals can be complicated My husband is 75. I am 68. Our family doctor says that our blood pressure average is fine at 140/80 with no medicine. We thought it should be 120/70, but he says the limit is higher for seniors in order to decrease falls. This is pretty confusing. Do you think it’s OK?
TO YOUR
GOOD HEALTH The best goal for blood pressure has been the subject of controversy. For the overall population, a level of 120/80, slightly less than the average blood pressure in the U.S. and Canada, is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, stroke and death than a blood pressure of 140/80. But the difference is pretty small. A blood pressure of 160/90 has a significantly higher risk, and at blood pressures above 160 systolic (that’s the first or “top” number), the risk for stroke and heart disease rises steeply. A recent trial showed that among older people with high blood pressure who had increased risk for heart attack, a systolic blood pressure goal of 120 was better at reducing risk than a blood pressure goal of 140. Both groups had a diastolic (the second or “bottom” number) goal of less than 90. Most experts would not treat people with medication unless their average blood pressure is over 140 systolic or over 90 diastolic. In people treated with medication, some experts prefer a goal of less than 130/less than 90, while others would treat to less than 120/less than 90. It is true that more blood pressure medication and more intensive goals can lead to greater side effects. Nondrug therapy, which includes modest salt restriction, regular exercise and stress reduction, can lower the blood pressure enough that people do not need medication.

Can Lyme disease send a person into Parkinson’s disease? I tested positive for Lyme — I had the bulls-eye rash, fever and terrible headaches. After a month on doxycycline, my left arm started shaking and my neurologist diagnosed me with Parkinson’s. The doctor said it had nothing to do with the Lyme disease. What is your opinion? I can absolutely understand why you might suspect that the neurologist could be wrong. The coincidence seems too much to believe. However, I think your neurologist is probably correct. The different types of neurological complications of Lyme disease are many and varied. The most common are any combination of meningitis symptoms (inflammation of the lining of the brain, with headache, fever, stiff neck and light sensitivity); disorders of the cranial nerves (especially the facial nerve, so people with neurological Lyme disease can look like they have Bell’s palsy); and damage to peripheral nerves, causing pain and weakness or numbness, often resembling sciatica (but may include other parts of the body). A detailed neurological exam by a neurologist would look for signs of Parkinson’s disease — not just the tremor you describe, but also muscle rigidity and changes in gait. These would be very unusual in Lyme disease. I did find cases resembling some aspects of Parkinson’s disease, but they improved with treatment. It is possible that the stress of the Lyme disease hastened the onset of Parkinson’s disease you were destined to get. I say your neurologist is “probably correct” because what I found does not mean that there is no correlation, and it is possible that time may prove Lyme disease is connected to Parkinson’s.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are a stylish and distinctive individual who cuts a dashing figure when on the move and pursuing your goals. You give off a kind of bravado that is attractive to everyone you encounter, and because you seem to be unafraid of anything, you are likely to be the beneficiary of all manner of opportunities. You always want to be the best that you can be, and that means being open to any and all opportunities for improvement and advancement. You are always quick to size up a situation and quick to determine a subsequent plan of action. Some may suspect that your native daring is merely a mask, concealing self-doubt and uncertainty. You can fall victim to these on occasion, but they are the exception, not the rule. You enjoy mixing with all types of people, and you enjoy learning from the experiences of others. You are gracious and accommodating, and you always try to use good manners, even in private. Also born on this date are: Drew Carey, actor, comedian, TV host; Kelly Monaco, actress; Joan Collins, actress; Rosemary Clooney, singer and actress; Douglas Fairbanks Sr., actor; Scatman Crothers, singer and actor; Artie Shaw, composer; Ambrose Burnside, Civil War general. To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. FRIDAY, MAY 24 GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You are rolling full steam toward your intended destination, but you may encounter an obstacle when you least expect it. You must think fast. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — The possible and the probable are both attractive to you today, but
they aren’t necessarily compatible. You must make an educated decision. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You want something more from a routine endeavor than what you’ve come to expect. A close friend has just the thing if you’re willing to experiment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — This interesting day sees you called in more than one direction at once. How you navigate conflicts will make all the difference. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You are not looking forward to doing something you know you must do, but in the end you’ll realize that your fears were entirely misplaced. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Now is the time for you to do the thing you’ve been avoiding for so long. You’re able to accomplish more than expected if you get it done. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You mustn’t let your insecurities hold you back, and you certainly mustn’t let them hold someone else back! It’s time to let go. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — The only way you’ll get a friend or loved one to stop reminding you to do something is by doing it, and today is the perfect day for that. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — The questions you ask today can surely be answered, but not by the experts. Get in touch with someone you trust. PISCES (Feb. 19—March 20) — You can accomplish something quite important today, and you and others can take pride in the fact that you stuck with it so long. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — What you start isn’t likely to be stoppable today. Be ready to go the distance, and don’t let a well-meaning friend stand in your way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may not end the day very near where you started it, but it’s all part of a plan — and you must be willing to relinquish control just a bit.
