HUNTER — One of the stockholders for Hunter Mountain is suing its owner over a pending transaction to change ownership. John Field filed a lawsuit in the Eastern District Court of Missouri against Peak Resorts, Inc., the company that owns Hunter Mountain and 16 other resorts throughout the country. Peak’s board of directors is also listed as defendants. In July, Peak announced it had entered into a merger agreement with Vail Resorts, Inc., a company that owns 17 mountain resorts and three

The transaction, which was expected to close this fall, meant Vail would
purchase all outstanding shares of common stocks of Peak Resorts for $11 per share at a 116% premium. The lawsuit alleges that Peak Resorts omitted pertinent information from its analysis of the merger. “Unless remedied, Peak Resorts’ public stockholders will be forced to make a voting or appraisal decision on the proposed transaction without full disclosure of all material information concerning the proposed transaction being provided to them,” according to court papers. Such information includes a fairness opinion provided by Peak’s financial See LAWSUIT A8

Several corrections officers at Greene Correctional Facility in Coxsackie were hospitalized Saturday after they were exposed to an unknown substance, state police said Monday.
COXSACKIE — An allergic reaction sent several corrections officers to the hospital Saturday, state police said Monday. Hazardous materials response teams from Greene and Columbia counties were dispatched to Greene Correctional facility at about 12:30 p.m Saturday, state police said. A sergeant at the prison reported a “28-year-old female officer was processing two packages in their package room inside the facility and began to have difficulty breathing,” according to the 911 alert. The officer received treatment at Albany Medical Center, state police Public Information Officer Steven Nevel said Monday. “She was given a Benadryl and released,” he said. Two other officers were treated at the prison’s infirmary, Nevel said. “It was nothing that would cause
death or serious injury,” he said, adding that the other officers complained of itching. The names and other identifying information of the officers are not being released at this time. State police are continuing their investigation into the substance that caused the allergic reactions, Nevel said. “It does not appear to be a targeted attack,” Nevel said. Nevel described the recipient of the package as a model prisoner. State police have not released the name of the inmate. The person who delivered the package has also not caused any issues for the prison, Nevel said. The deliverer also has not been identified by police. Police are not pursuing any criminal charges on the matter, Nevel said. State police will continue to assist the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision with the investigation.

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump took the presidency vowing to bring his dealmaking savvy to American foreign policy, yet his love for grand gestures and personal diplomacy has fallen short with North Korea, China and the Mideast. Now Afghanistan can be added to the list. In a series of tweets on Saturday night, the president dispatched with a secret plan to host Taliban and Afghan leaders at his Camp David retreat this weekend ahead of the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. He wanted to talk directly with Taliban negotiators, Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said Sunday on CBS, one of five TV interviews. “I want to look them in the eye,” the president said, according to his top diplomat. That would be reminiscent of his approach to China’s Xi Jinping and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, but with just over a year before the 2020 elections, Trump’s personal brand of diplomacy has few successes to point to. “So far, his foreign policy bluster has produced little,” said James Dorsey, senior fellow at Singapore’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies. “North Korea is not backing off nuclear weapons, Iran is proving resilient and defiant, and the ‘Deal of the Century’ looks more like a stillborn baby.” The White House rejects that assessment, saying that major foreign policy achievements have historically taken more than just months to pull together. “The president isn’t afraid to try and tackle hard problems whereas most politicians run away from them,” said Judd Deere, a White House deputy press secretary. The Afghanistan move capped a tough week. On Friday, the president’s envoy to North Korea talks said negotiations have been stalled for months. On Thursday, Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt announced his intention to depart; the vaunted Israeli-Palestinian peace plan he’s been working on has yet to be unveiled. The U.S.-China trade war drags on. Pompeo defended the president’s setbacks as signs of strength, the early price to pay for taking on intractable issues. “It’s going to take more than words,” Pompeo said. “He walked away in Hanoi from North Korea, they wouldn’t make a deal that made sense for America. He’ll do that with the Iranians. When the Chinese moved away from a trade agreement they promised they would make, he broke off those conversations too.” If the president wants to rack up some wins, here’s where he’ll have to shift the momentum.
AFGHANISTAN Trump campaigned on a vow to pull U.S. troops from intractable conflicts, a description exemplified by the Afghan war, where American forces have been mired for almost 18 years. But while Trump raised U.S. troops levels in Afghanistan early in his term to about 14,000, the Taliban forces are now at their

strongest levels since being ousted from power a generation ago. Even many Republicans fear that a withdrawal could give the fundamentalist group a pathway to power, or allow al-Qaeda or Islamic State to regroup. For now, the administration says, talks are over and the U.S. envoy brokering the would-be deal, Zalmay Khalilzad, has been recalled to Washington. Pompeo said the administration will keep working hard to forge an agreement, but Trump may have to decide if he starts a draw-down without winning any Taliban concessions.
NORTH KOREA After a year of heightening tensions over North Korean missile and nuclear tests in 2017, Trump made a historic gamble to meet Kim Jong Un in Singapore. With a short, vague agreement in hand, the two leaders went on to have two more meetings. They met in Vietnam in February, and in June, Trump stepped across the border into North Korea for a brief time, the first American president to do so. Since then? Nothing. Trump’s special envoy for North Korea talks, Stephen Biegun, said Friday he’s ready to engage, “but we cannot do this by ourselves.” Since the last Trump-Kim meeting, North Korea has ignored U.S. entreaties to negotiate and has instead conducted a wave of short-range missile tests banned by the United Nations, while complaining about U.S.-South Korea military exercises. With the two sides unable to reach an agreement on what “denuclearization” even means, analysts say Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile production has continued.
concessions that bolstered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s agenda — including moving the American embassy to Jerusalem, and recognizing Israeli sovereignty of the Golan Heights — while doing nothing to lure Palestinians to the table. The administration said a peace plan is still forthcoming, but Palestinians have already ruled out talks with Trump’s team.
IRAN More than a year after Trump quit the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran, the Islamic Republic is feeling the pain of ever-tightening sanctions. But that hasn’t been enough to force them back to the negotiating table, as Trump says he wants, and the U.S. has won little support for its “maximum pressure” campaign. American allies have been so alarmed at the administration’s approach — even as they decry Iranian behavior in the Middle East — that they’ve largely declined to join a U.S.-led initiative to strengthen security in the waters of the Persian Gulf, a bottleneck for global oil supplies. When Trump did reach out to allies — saying he’d back French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to extend a “letter of credit” to Iran, secured by oil — his aides quickly walked those comments back. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Trump could still meet on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly gathering in New York later this month, but Iranian leaders have said they aren’t interested in a “photo op,” a veiled reference to the president’s three meetings with Kim.
MIDDLE EAST PEACE
CHINA
A day before his inauguration, Trump tasked his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, with producing the “deal of the century”: peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Kushner labored in secret, shuttling across the Mideast with the president’s former top lawyer at the Trump Organization, Jason Greenblatt. On Thursday, with the peace plan yet to come, Greenblatt said he intends to step aside in the near future, although he’s expected to stay at the White House at least until the plan is revealed. Over two years, Trump made a series of
Trade wars are “easy to win,” Trump has said, but so far winning has been scarce when it comes to China. Expectations are low for a round of trade talks expected to take place in early October. That’s left the latest round of U.S. and Chinese tariffs in place, with the U.S. poised to raise

various levies on Oct. 1 and on Dec. 15, when China plans additional tariffs as well. With a stalemate continuing, Trump’s aides have argued he has the power to force American companies to leave China, as he suggested in August. Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund estimates that the current and upcoming tariffs will shave about 0.8% off global gross domestic product growth in 2020.
VENEZUELA U.S. efforts to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro early this year appeared to have momentum, with more than 50 nations recognizing National Assembly leader Juan Guaido and, initially, cutting contacts with Maduro’s regime. But that momentum has stalled. Venezuelans have suffered under brutal inflation and a scarcity of basic goods and medicine, despite living in a country with the world’s biggest oil reserves. Maduro has maintained the military’s support and efforts to rally the often-divided opposition in the streets have fizzled. (With assistance from David Wainer.)

Police: Firefighters found assault weapon By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media
PHILMONT — As firefighters worked to extinguish a blaze in the village on Monday, police said they made a surprising discovery: an assault weapon that had been left in the burning home. As a result, Samuel C. Wright, 30, of Philmont, was charged Tuesday with thirddegree criminal possession of a weapon, a class D felony, police said. After the blaze had been extinguished by departments from Philmont and Claverack, a Kel-Tec SUB-2000 assault weapon was located by firefighters, police said. Wright owned the assault weapon, which he possessed illegally in New York state, police said. On Labor Day, firefighters were dispatched to a reported structure fire at 54 Main St. in the village at about 3:45 p.m. Philmont firefighters responded and, with the help of other fire departments, were able to contain the blaze and keep it from spreading to
nearby buildings. As of Friday, fire investigators had not finalized their report and the cause of the fire, which is under review, remains a mystery, according to state police. The fire was confined to a two-story, wood-frame house. Crews mostly concentrated their efforts on the second floor of the home. Possession of assault weapons is prohibited in New York state, except for those legally possessed on Jan. 15, 2013 and registered with the

conviction for driving while intoxicated and was sentenced to five years’ probation on June 16, 2015. To reach reporter Amanda Purcell, call 518-828-1616 ext. 2500, or send an email to apurcell@ thedailymail.net, or tweet to @ amandajpurcell.
Overdose death trial date set By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media
ALBANY — A Columbia County man charged in connection with two overdose deaths in July 2016 will go to trial in late September. The trial of Jacob Ebel, 32, of Niverville, is set to begin Sept. 23 at 9:30 a.m. before U.S. District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino after the Friday deadline to submit a plea passed. Ebel has been in custody since July 26, 2017, when he was charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class B felony, following an earlymorning raid in Niverville
that led to the seizure of drugs and guns, police said. Overdose deaths from opioid use in northern Columbia County led to the July multiagency police investigation. Ebel is accused of distributing heroin and fentanyl July 3 to the first victim, identified only as “S.B.” in court documents, who died after taking the drugs. Weeks later, between July 18 and July 23, Ebel allegedly provided heroin and fentanyl to the spouse of the second victim, who is identified as “S.S,” who took the drugs and died, according to the federal indictment. Ebel is also charged with possessing heroin and
fentanyl with the intent to distribute, and conspiring to possess and distribute heroin and fentanyl. Ebel was arraigned on Feb. 27, 2017 and pleaded not guilty to the charges. Ebel was initially arrested July 26 following an early-morning police raid in Niverville, which led to the seizure of drugs and guns, according to police. Heroin, cocaine, LSD, prescription pills, drug paraphernalia and other items were seized, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office said at the time. The heroin has a street value of about $5,000. Evidence in the trial
includes “several thousand pages of documents and audio and video recordings,” according to court papers. The trial is expected to last 6-8 days. If convicted, Ebel could face at least 20 years to life in prison, a fine of up to $1 million, and a term of post-imprisonment supervised release of at least three years and up to life. Sentencing is decided by a judge based on the statute the defendant is charged with violating, U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other factors. Ebel’s July arrest followed a month-long investigation by the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and state police. The joint investigation led to
the raid on Rowland Road, a street near Kinderhook Lake in northern Columbia County, according to the sheriff’s office. The indictment against Ebel is the result of a joint investigation conducted by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, the sheriff’s office and state police, with assistance from the office of Columbia County District Attorney Paul Czajka. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Barnett is the prosecutor. To reach reporter Amanda Purcell, call 518-828-1616 ext. 2500, or send an email to apurcell@thedailymail.net, or tweet to @amandajpurcell.

OUR VIEW
and it is up to us to gather our information from multiple sources and decide if it is reliable.” The ability to distinguish between news and fraud masquerading as news is critical in an environment where there is an endless stream of information that often goes unchecked, unedited and largely unregulated. Making matters worse is that the difference between real and fake is subtle. “In today’s world, access to media and the ability to share media is widespread and readily available,” said Ryan Proper, technical integration specialist at Taconic Hills. “These skills are important when making decisions in our own personal lives, as well as helping our students to conduct research both in and out of the classroom.” We live in an age when the future of newspapers looks bleak, so we must not allow the purveyors of fake news to weaken local media as a community institution. Local media can serve as a loud voice to communicate the problems, wishes and needs of readers to those in power. If the fake news accusers continue to undermine local media, we will be pushed to work even harder to serve our communities and defend with facts the rights that are being threatened by people who would have us believe that what is there isn’t there.
ANOTHER VIEW
A temporary fix to our mortgage system (c) 2019,The Washington Post
Temporary measures have a way of becoming permanent in Washington. Case in point: Friday was the 11th anniversary of what was supposed to be a temporary federal takeover of the troubled mortgage-guarantee entities Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. To mark the occasion, the Trump administration released its proposal for reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which back 44 percent of single-family mortgage debt, worth $4.7 trillion. Described in many articles as a plan to “privatize” Fannie and Freddie, the 53-page document could more accurately be described as a blueprint for restoring a modified version of the pre-2008 public-backingprivate-ownership hybrid situation, and for doing it by administrative fiat, because neither President Donald Trump nor Congress is willing to risk comprehensive reform legislation before the 2020 election. The good news is that the administration appears to have eschewed pleas from some in the financial sector to “recap and release” the entities unchanged, which would have conferred a windfall on hedge funds that bought up their beaten-down stock after the federal takeover. Instead, federal regulators would gradually withdraw federal ownership in favor of private capital - while forcing Fannie and Freddie to pay for an explicit federal guarantee against catastrophic losses only. This suggestion, which resembles bipartisan proposals previously considered but not approved in Congress, would indeed be an improvement over both the government-run status quo and the entities’ past, in which they were to take increasing risks in pursuit of maximum profits, while enjoying assumed, and unlimited, taxpayer backing. However, the exact timetable, dollar amounts and other
Arnold Schwarzenegger, David Daley Special To The Washington Post
A sad commentary, a teaching moment A leading state media organization held a workshop for teachers in the Taconic Hills Central School District last week to train faculty in news media literacy and how to distinguish real, reliably reported news from frauds and so-called fake news. This workshop, and others like it, is a sad commentary about where news is today in the world of social media and do-it-yourself reporting with no ethical boundaries. It’s sad for the journalists, printers and executives who work hard to deliver the news each day. And it’s hard for readers looking for a source they can trust for the facts. Presenting the Taconic Hills workshop was Mary Miller from the New York Newspaper Publishers Association. Miller travels to schools around the state, teaching how to separate fact from fiction. Last year she did similar presentations in the Ravena-CoeymansSelkirk and Niskayuna school districts. But this workshop can also be seen as an apt teaching moment on a broader scale. The local media is a community institution and a watchdog over the circles of power. Institutions like the local media are needed to ward off the insidious forces behind fake news. “News media is vital for our democracy,” Miller said last week. “Deciding it is all fake and throwing your hands up is not the answer. We have to be responsible news consumers
Schwarzenegger: Too many voters live under minority rule. Here’s why.
crucial details were left unspecified. It’s difficult to imagine that the process could be completed by the end of Trump’s term in 2021. Absent legislation, this means that a new president could chart a completely different course via executive action. Probably the most controversial idea in the administration plan was its opposition to a regulatory loophole, known obscurely as the QM patch, which has allowed Fannie and Freddie to back an increasing number of mortgages to households that owe more than 43 percent of their income. The real estate industry and housing advocates like this lenient approach, but it may be counterproductive, because at the margins, looser lending increases demand for houses - which keeps home prices higher. Given that the federal consumer finance regulators never intended the QM patch to last beyond 2021 - it’s probably better to keep Fannie and Freddie’s mission more narrowly targeted. The Trump administration’s vision of a slimmed-down but still government-backed Fannie and Freddie has predictably earned it faint praise from advocates of more radical free market options, and condemnation from those who favor aggressive government support for affordable housing. What all sides must acknowledge, though, is that they have had a decade’s worth of chances to take Fannie and Freddie permanently out of limbo through legislation. Before the Trump administration, there was considerable bipartisan agreement on a new system. Yet interest group bickering over the details doomed compromise. And so the crucial U.S. housing market must bear the burden of what seems increasingly like permanent executivebranch influence, and the uncertainty that comes with it.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.’
When a North Carolina court overturned the state’s legislative map as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander last week, the unanimous decision provided much more than a needed victory free and fair elections. It was also a valuable reminder: Partisan gerrymandering affects much more than Congress, distorting representation in state houses and senates nationwide. A stunning number of Americans — more than 59 million — live under minority rule in a state where the party with fewer votes in the 2018 election nevertheless controls a majority of seats in the legislature. Democratic candidates for the North Carolina House and Senate won a solid majority of the statewide vote last fall, but Republicans nevertheless won 54 percent of House seats and 58 percent of Senate seats. “Representatives are choosing voters based upon sophisticated partisan sorting,” a bipartisan panel of judges concluded. “It is the carefully crafted will of the map drawer that dominates.” But North Carolina is not alone. Five other states — Michigan, Wisconsin, Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania — have minority rule in one or both of their legislative chambers, according to a study from a team headed by Christian Grose of the USC Schwarzenegger Institute. While it will come as no surprise that, in all six of these states, the party with the undue majorities also controlled the map-drawing, the statistics should nevertheless chill all of us who believe in the power of one person, one vote. The partisan gerrymander in Virginia’s House of Delegates, for example, holds this ugly distinction: Republicans hold a majority of seats — just under 51 percent — with just 44.5 percent of the 2017 vote. That’s the lowest popular vote share for any legislative majority in the nation. Earlier this year, a federal court put a new, neutral map in place for Virginia’s upcoming House election. Wisconsin, where partisan mapmakers maximized their gains with even greater ruthlessness and efficiency, has received no such remedy. Only 44.7 percent of voters there
cast ballots for Republican Assembly candidates in 2018, but the GOP nevertheless won 64.6 percent of the seats. The Wisconsin map was initially overturned by a federal court, but it was allowed to stand after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled partisan gerrymandering “nonjusticiable,” meaning the issue can’t be resolved by judges, at the federal level. It’s a similar story in Pennsylvania and Michigan. In the Keystone State, Republican state House candidates earned 45.6 percent of the votes but 54.2 percent of the seats. In Michigan, meanwhile, 47.4 percent of voters favored Republicans, but the maps helped the GOP claim just under 53 percent of the seats. These states’ upper chambers are just as badly gerrymandered. Pennsylvania, Michigan and North Carolina all have senates where the party with fewer votes holds control — which means the entire legislature is dominated by the minority party. Add to that Ohio: In 2018, just over half of the Buckeye State’s Senate seats were up for election. Republicans won 47.2 percent of the vote but 58.8 percent of the seats. Nothing explains this consistent partisan bias other than the maps themselves. State and federal courts have carefully considered, and rejected, the mythical notion that the state’s political geography or natural clustering - Democrats packed into the cities, Republicans spread more efficiently throughout suburbs or rural areas — provided the GOP edge. Time and again, the judges have pointed out the real culprits: partisan legislators with unfettered control of redistricting, aided by powerful mapmaking software and precise, block-level voting and demographic data on individuals. Not all partisan gerrymanders result in minority rule. Instead, the maps sometimes create yawning, disproportional gaps between the percentage of the vote earned by a party and the number of seats they win. In six states — Arkansas, Kentucky, Nevada, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Wisconsin — that gap is actually greater than 15 percentage points. In Nevada, for example, state House Democrats won just over 51 percent of the vote

but translated that into 69 percent of the seats. All of this is bad for democracy. Gerrymandering insulates politicians from the voters. It entrenches a party in power, providing a firewall that preserves a majority even when the other side wins more votes. It pushes our politics to the extremes and leads to policy outcomes that a majority of citizens disagree with but remain powerless to do anything about. All Americans, regardless of party, ought to be outraged over the way it debases free elections and fair results. A growing number are outraged - and taking action. Last fall, residents of Michigan, Colorado, Utah and Missouri voted overwhelmingly to reform redistricting, remove the power from legislators and bring it closer to the people. But the states that allow such initiatives are dwindling. Politicians don’t always respect the results: In Michigan, for example, the state Senate cut the secretary of state’s budget in an attempt to make it harder to fund the redistricting commission, and Republicans in Missouri’s legislature nearly rolled back the referendum there. The constitutional challenge that worked in North Carolina probably could be replicated in only about half of states, where there are “free and fair” or “free and open” election guarantees in the state constitutions. A genuine solution to this deeply political problem will somehow have to be a political one, and we’re running out of time before the next redistricting, which follows the 2020 Census. The North Carolina decision helps guide the way: There, the exasperated judges demanded that every line be drawn in public, with the computer screen in clear view and using limited data. Transparency is essential. But so is the deeply American value of majority rule. Here’s another idea: When a party wins more votes, but fewer seats, it triggers an automatic nonpartisan remapping. The 59 million Americans living under entrenched minority rule deserve nothing less.

A fourth-grader was teased for his homemade University of Tennessee logo. Then the school made his drawing into a real shirt. Allison Klein The Washington Post
It was “college colors” day at an elementary school in Altamonte Springs, Florida, last week, and one of Laura Snyder’s fourth-grade students wore an orange T-shirt representing his favorite school, the University of Tennessee. “He was SO EXCITED to show me his shirt. I was impressed that he took it one step further to make his own label,” Snyder wrote on Facebook, explaining that he drew his own UT logo with pen and paper and attached it to his shirt. But after lunch, the student came back to her room crying. “Some girls at the lunch table next to his (who didn’t even participate in college colors day) had made fun of his sign that he had attached to his shirt. He was DEVASTATED,” Snyder wrote. “I know kids can be cruel, I am aware that it’s not the
fanciest sign, BUT this kid used the resources he had available to him to participate in a spirit day.” In an effort to cheer him up, Snyder wrote that she planned to buy him a University of Tennessee shirt. She asked Facebook if anyone out there had any contacts at the university “to make it a little extra special for him.” What happened next completely floored her. Her post went viral on Facebook, eventually reaching University of Tennessee fans and then the university itself. The university responded by sending the student a package of UT swag for him and his classmates. “I’m not even sure I can put into words his reaction. It was so heartwarming,” Snyder wrote in an update to her post. “My student was so amazed at all the goodies in the box. He proudly put on the jersey and one of the many hats in the box.
All who saw had either goosebumps or tears.” But then things got even better. The university’s official shop announced Friday that it decided to take the student’s handmade logo and turn it into an actual shirt. And some of the proceeds will be donated to an anti-bullying organization. “When I told him that his design was being made into a real shirt and people wanted to wear it, his jaw dropped,” Snyder wrote. “He had a big smile on his face, walked taller, and I could tell his confidence grew today! Thank you to the UT Nation for that!!” The student’s mother wrote a letter of gratitude that Snyder posted. It said, in part, “I can tell you that I spent a lot of my day reading all the kind words in support of my son and I’m touched beyond words,” she wrote.
from its August recess amid calls to address gun violence in the wake of multiple mass shootings last month. Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer of New York sent a letter to Trump on Sunday calling for him to stand up to the NRA, saying he has an “historic opportunity to save lives.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has weathered criticism that he has blocked Democratic House legislation on gun violence from receiving floor votes. The Kentucky Republican said last week that whether he puts a bill on the docket for a vote depends on whether Trump would sign it.

Re-think your drink It’s hard to believe that many people (including myself) are willing to pay for something that’s free — water. For years, soda sales have been declining as Americans decided to become more health conscious; and so Big Soda responded to this decline in soda sales with bottled water. One of the biggest scams soda manufacturers have come up with is water packed with vitamins. Cleverly disguised as a health drink, marketers are taking advantage of your growing interest in getting healthy, and they’re trying to convince you that their vitamin water measures up to the vitamins and minerals in food. But the truth is, it can’t measure up and it is one of the worst types of bottled water you can drink. The Mayo Clinic reports this type of water is “not a nutritional supplement intended to replace a multivitamin or vitamins consumed from a healthy diet.” And if you already supplement your diet with a multivitamin, vitamin water will not provide any additional health benefits. Another concern is the high amount (32.5 grams) of crystalline fructose in each bottle. Crystalline fructose is derived

SCHOEPE from corn (just like highfructose corn syrup), however additional processing steps result in a crystalline product that is close 100% fructose; making it 20% sweeter than table sugar. A 2005 study by researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City showed that consuming more than 25 grams of fructose a day causes gastrointestinal distress including stomach pain and diarrhea. And according to an article on the Healthline website, “Excess fructose consumption may increase your blood cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, insulin resistance, fat buildup around your organs and the risk of fatty liver.” Rather than buy vitamin water, why not make your own
healthier? With nothing more than fruit and water you can make your own version made from real fruit chock full of nutrients and without any added sugar. The amount of fruit you use depends on how strong you want the flavor, but a good starting point is about two cups of fruit per quart of water. The fruit in the water will stay fresh for about 3-5 days in the refrigerator, but if you’re like me it won’t last that long! I highly recommend using an infused water pitcher, which you can get on Amazon. It stores neatly in the fridge with a removable insert that lets you effortlessly switch out fruit from one day to the next. You can also opt for my husband’s favorite: SaniVi organically flavored sparkling water. It’s USDA Certified Organic without preservatives, artificial color or additives, is gluten- and GMO-free, and their bottles are PBA free. Plus it’s made locally. Despite being marketed as healthy, vitamin waters are harmful, disease promoting beverages that should be avoided as much as possible.
Many of those first responders lost their lives at the scene; many others died later from exposure to the deadly fumes emanating from the burning towers, she said. Patterson said Durham Town Supervisor Shawn Marriott and deputy sheriff will greet attendees, then turn over the ceremony to Ken Dudley, board member of the Irish Center, who will be master of ceremonies. “It is not only appropriate that our town supervisor open the ceremony, but also, as deputy sheriff, he would be a first responder to any event in our area,” Patterson said. Patterson said the program has been tentatively set up as follows: the Greenville American Legion will Post the Colors, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Laura Marriott will
sing the National Anthem. Among the invited speakers are the following: U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, state Sen. George Amedore and Assemblyman Chris Tague. Former New York City firefighter Ron Camerata, who responded to the scene and now lives in the area, will speak about the horror of that day and its lasting aftermath on the health and well-being of those first responders who survived. The American Legion will perform a 21-gun salute, followed by taps. Marriott will sing “God Bless America.” The program will end with concluding remarks, laying of the memorial wreath, and Closing of the Colors. Light refreshments will be served at the John McGrath building after the program.
Local history emphasized at temple auction on Sept. 15 CATSKILL — When the Temple Israel of Catskill organizing committee started planning for this year’s fundraising auction they wanted to make sure the community was included. So they made a point of including items that would appeal to those who love Catskill and its surroundings. “We really thought about how fortunate we are to be here,” said co-chair and Temple President Steven Mann. “Catskill has so much history that it seemed like something we should highlight.” The auction, an annual fundraiser, takes place at noon Sept. 15 at Temple Israel, 220 Spring St., Catskill. Refreshments will be available and items will be on view
beginning at 10 a.m. that day. There will be additional preview time 7:30 a.m.-noon Sept. 13. Select pieces will also be shown on the Temple Israel of Catskill Face Book page. There is no entry fee. “A Walking Tour of Catskill” will be offered as part of several items in a silent auction. “People love the old architecture of this town, but most don’t know there was a fire in 1851 that destroyed many early buildings,” Mann said. “The town also shifted slightly. For example, the old Masonic Hall on the corner of Franklin and Bridge streets was the original county courthouse. By 1910, a new courthouse was built on Main Street. The temple itself was originally on Main at 438, the current courtyard of La
CATSKILL — The staff and residents at Greene Meadows held their second annual Veterans Appreciation Cookout on Aug. 27 to celebrate the Greene and Columbia County veterans, active duty personnel, Gold Star Mother and Blue Star Mothers and their families. Everyone in attendance enjoyed the soulful music of Lex Grey, eating delicious food served under the watchful eye of “Grillmaster” Joe Forgione. Organizers sent a special thanks to Jay Fink at WRIP Radio and Bill Williams of 98.5 the CAT for helping promote this special event. The ceremonies kicked off at 3 p.m. with an invocation conducted by Cairo American Legion Mohican Post 983 Chaplain Richard Lorenz, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Lex Grey then sang her rendition of the National Anthem. Speaking at the event and passing out of Veterans Certificates to all Greene Meadows veterans was State Sen. George Amedore, R-46, who thanked everyone who has served and is serving the

It burned down in 1973 and we re-built at our present location.” In addition to the 3-hour walking tour, other packages include “A Tour of the Cemeteries in Jefferson Heights,” which will include reflections on personages buried there — settlers, military, merchants and civic leaders, and a “Family History” package that includes a consultation with Mann to help organize family photographs, historic documents and other ephemera for future generations. Of course the auction will have plenty of artwork, antiques and collectibles for the home and garden as well. To learn more about the event, call the temple office at 518943-5758.

Pro Printers marks 30 years with big celebration HUDSON — Forget the notion that print is a dying animal. It has stood the test of time at Pro Printers, a familyowned business that creates magazines and brochures, booklets and letterhead, envelopes and business cards, as well as newsletters and postcards. On Aug. 23, the business marked its 30th anniversary with a ribbon cutting and gathering of past and present clients at the shop at 59 Fairview Ave. The celebration included tours of the 4,000-square-foot facility with its state-of-theart equipment such as hightech, inkjet desk-top printers and the Standard Horizon machine capable of folding 30,000 letters per hour. The event not only showcased how Pro Printers has evolved over the decades but how its in-house team has become a marketing partner helping clients promote their messages in more personal ways. General Manager Ryan Scott said the company continues to grow in new areas such as apparel, customizing

T-Shirts, hoodies and jackets with logos and lettering to promote customer brands in eyepopping ways. Pro Printers further specializes in simple or sophisticated window and wall installs, signs and banners as well as logo and brand creation, a giant leap from when Scott’s father, David, opened the simple walk-in print and copy shop at the former Melino’s Pub on Nov. 1, 1989. Additionally, Scott and
his wife, Kari, the co-owner and production manager, have become known for their green and sustainable printing practices, including the use of paper manufactured by wind-powered technology. They also return paper waste for recycling to the Saratoga County-based Cascades conversion company. Scott said sales are up and customers remain confident that Pro Printers is better equipped as a marketing

Support Foundation, and the Columbia-Greene Hospital Foundation. Retired from a career with LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae, an international law firm, Lapenn specialized in municipal and project finance, representing municipal corporations, industrial development agencies, nonprofit organizations, and investment and commercial banks. Hila Richardson, secretary. Richardson, DrPH, RN, FAAN, is a retired clinical professor at the NYU College of Nursing, where she was on the faculty for 15 years, serving as the associate dean for the undergraduate program from 2004-2012. She continues in her position as secretary for the CMH Board of Trustees. In addition to serving on the Foundation for Community Health, Richardson is a member of the Advisory Board for the Fund for Columbia County. She is a past chair and current member of the board of Isabella Geriatric Center in New York City and has previously been on the executive boards of the American Public
Health Association and the Public Health Association of New York City. She was inducted as a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing in 2001 and the New York Academy of Medicine in 2005. “This is an exciting time at CMH,” Lans said. “We have just won the prestigious Gold Stroke Plus Award, for the second consecutive year, recognizing that our Emergency Department uses the most current evidence-based techniques for diagnosing and treating stroke. Our affiliation with Albany Med now provides our patients with seamless access to the full range of cardiac care, including the most sophisticated cardiac specialty care services. Our orthopedic team uses stateof-the-art robotics in joint replacement surgeries, and we have acquired 3D mammography and biopsy equipment, adding cutting edge diagnostic technology to our newly renovated Women’s Health Center. CMH’s team-based care groups and our focus on quality and safety are generating amazing results for our community.”
partner to help them grow in the years ahead. Much of that, he said, has to do with exemplary customer service. “Businesses that are most successful are customerfocused first and foremost, whether you have a fleet of investment planners or a small manufacturing company,” Scott said. “The way my wife and I look at it, taking care of customers is our priority. That gives a frame of reference for everything we do. It also helps us frame every conversation on the phone or every email we send. It informs the machines and software that we buy. “Kari and I have looked at it as the opportunity to learn and stay competitive in this current marketplace, and we believe that helps us in our industry and against the other people in our neighborhood,” he said. While the 45-year-old Scott has been running the day-today operations at Pro Printers since 2016, he officially took the reins of full ownership in January 2018. Diversifying and steering the company to the next level
were immediate goals, and Scott said he has managed to achieve that for several reasons. Beyond ensuring quality customer service, he has navigated opportunities to successfully compete in the digital age. While acting as Pro Printer’s sales manager in 2012, Scott took advantage of the digitized market by adding client services—what he calls “marrying the digital and analog worlds”— to drive audiences where a client wants them. Scott said that can include postcards announcing a website update or direct mailings about products or services to complement a routine email blast. Contrary to popular thinking, it’s not just the Baby Boomer generation that relies on traditional media, particularly direct mail and print, he added. “Studies have shown that you retain more information when you read it off a printed page versus on a digital screen. Gen X’ers and millennials still like this hard, tangible piece to make buying decisions,” he said.
“I saw a stat about how a printed catalog actually makes it seven times more likely that someone’s going to buy your product, and if you send them to the website to do it, they’re three times more likely to buy that item,” he added. All of this points to Scott’s deep knowledge of the print landscape and where it continues to head in the digital era, but he hasn’t lost sight of what is most important. At the recent 30th anniversary celebration, it was about people and interactions. Former and current clients shared stories of their experiences with Pro Printers and the staff, including the elder Scott, was on hand to greet them. His son said it was an ideal time to reminisce. “At the end of the day, it’s all about servicing clients. A lot of them have been working with us for many years, so it was a good chance to shake hands,” Scott said. “We know that keeps us competitive. “Even as we celebrated 30 years, I want to look ahead further,” he concluded. “I want to celebrate a 60th anniversary, so we continue to go the extra mile for our clients.”

Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-102. “And in their everyday lives, they are out there protecting us. I was just impressed to see how well the Greene County community came together here in Coxsackie today to celebrate the hard work of these folks and the determination and dedication to their community.” Volunteers make a big difference in their community, said Cliff Powell, chief of the Greenville Volunteer Fire Company. “Volunteers are the biggest part of the community,” Powell said after the parade. “If you look at what they save in taxes each year — it’s the backbone of most communities.” The dress parade was the final event in a week of convention activities — Friday night was the Mardi Gras parade, a lighthearted event in which marchers donned costumes and rode on floats reminiscent of the New Orleans’ Mardi Gras, and before that there were dinners, ceremonies and annual meetings to appoint officers for 2020. “It’s always fun during convention week,” said Greenville firefighter Andrew Scirico. “I get to see friends in other fire departments and just hang out.” The parade drew fire companies and auxiliaries from across Greene County, but also from outside county lines. East Greenbush, Saugerties, Coeymans and Ravena were some of the communities that sent marchers to participate. From Columbia County, there were participants from Hudson and Germantown, and Columbia County Hazmat, among others.

adviser Moelis & Company LLC and potential conflicts of interest for Peak executives, according to court papers. This information is relevant because the company’s insiders, such as executives and board members, will receive greater benefit from the sale than the public stockholders, according to court papers. “Peak Resorts insiders are the primary beneficiaries of the proposed transaction, not the public stakeholders,” the lawsuit alleges. “The board and the company’s executive officers are conflicted because they will have secured unique benefits for themselves from the proposed transaction not available to [Field] and the public stockholders of Peak Resorts.” The merger agreement allows restricted stock units to vest and convert into cash payments, according to court papers, resulting in payouts of $209,121 for President and Chief Executive Officer Timothy D. Boyd, $340,582 for Chief Financial Officer Christopher Bub, $157,443 for Vice President of Business and Real Estate Development Richard Deutsch and $75,702 for Executive Vice President and Director Stephen Mueller. Non-Peak employees who sit on the board — Stanley Hansen, Carl Kraus, Christpher O’Connor and David Baswell — will receive $479,996, $479,996, $479,996 and $333,278, respectively. In terms of Moelis’ fairness opinion, stockholders are not given the tools necessary to understand how the firm arrived at their opinion,

Volunteers dish out a good time at the conclusion of Saturday’s parade, which ended at Coxsackie’s Hose Co. No. 3 on Bailey Street in the village.
Tracy Alexander was one of two volunteers from the Greenport Fire Department who lent a helping hand to a fellow fire company in Greene County. “We marched for the Greenville fire department,” Alexander said. “We hired ourselves out for their drum line. They don’t have a drum line so they asked us to help out.” Hillary Higgins, president of the Round Top Ladies Auxiliary, has been coming to the parade for the past four years. “This is exciting — our
group is a great bunch of women and they wholeheartedly love to do this,” Higgins said. “We all march and we get fully involved. It’s a lot of fun and a great event.” For some, the parade is a family affair. “I brought my daughters, and one of them marched alongside us and helped pick up drumsticks as they fell from the drumline,” said Amy Eggleston, secretary of the Cornell Hook and Ladder Auxiliary. “It’s great to see all these fire companies and meet new people.”
according to the lawsuit. “Without this information, Peak Resorts’ public stockholders are unable to fully understand these analyses and thus are unable to determine what weight, if any, to place on Moelis’ fairness opinion in determining whether to vote in favor of the proposed transaction or seek appraisal,” according to court papers. This type of opinion is moot, Field’s attorney Matthew Dameron alleged. “When a banker’s endorsement of the fairness of a transaction is touted to stockholders, the valuation methods used to arrive at that opinion as well as the key inputs and range of ultimate values generated by those analyses must also be fairly disclosed,” according to court papers. “The omission of this information renders the statements in the “Opinion of Moelis & Company LLC” and “Management Projects” sections of the Proxy Statement false and or materially misleading.” Moelis & Company declined to comment on the matter. The Proxy Statement also failed to disclose retention of Peak employees post-transaction. “This information is necessary for the stockholders to understand potential conflicts of interest of management and the board, as that information provides illumination concerning motivations that would prevent fiduciaries from acting solely in the best interests of the company’s stockholders,” according to court papers. Dameron alleged that the sections “Background of the Merger” and “Interests of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” of the Proxy Statement are also
false and or misleading. Field, in his lawsuit, is asking the court to stop the transaction from going further until the missing materials are provided to the stockholders. If the sale closes, Field is asking for it be rescinded and damages awarded to him. Leaders of both Peak and Vail resorts expressed their enthusiasm for the sale in July. “We are now delighted to announce this agreement with Vail Resorts that creates substantial value for our shareholders and new opportunities for our guests,” Boyd said. “During my time in the industry, I’ve come to know and respect Vail Resorts and believe they will build on our accomplishments and further improve the experience that our loyal guests enjoy both on and off the mountain.” Rob Katz, chairman and CEO of Vail Resorts, was equally enthusiastic in July. “We are incredibly excited to have the opportunity to add such a powerful network of ski areas to our company,” Katz said. “Peak Resorts’ ski areas in the Northeast are a perfect complement to our existing resorts and together will provide a very compelling offering to our guests in New York and Boston. With this acquisition, we’re also able to make a much stronger connection to guests in critical cities in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, and build on the success we have already seen with our strategy in Chicago, Minneapolis and Detroit. Tim and his team have assembled a fantastic array of resorts and created a strong and loyal guest network. We look forward to welcoming Peak Resorts’ guests and team members to the Vail Resorts family.”

CRARYVILLE — Markus Rosien engineered two second quarter scoring drives to help Taconic Hills overcome an early deficit and defeat Coxsackie-Athens, 22-10, in Friday night’s Class C South game. Hartman completed 5 of 10 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 68 yards and a score on 14 carries in leading the Titans to victory in their season opener. Coxsackie-Athens struck first with 3:28 to go in the first quarter on a four-yard run by junior quarterback Brandon Wolbert, who then tossed a two-point conversion pass to Jameson Brockett to make it an 8-0 game. The Titans closed the gap with 5:45 remaining in the half on a two-yard run by Rosien. The two-point try failed,
leaving the score, 8-6. Taconic Hills surged ahead a little more than two minutes later when Rosien hooked up with Zach Colwell for a 38-yard scoring pass. Aidan Flaum ran in the two-point conversion to put the Titans up, 14-8. C-A drove inside the Titans’ five-yard line with under a minute left in the half, but a turnover gave the ball back to the TH at the two. The Indians were able to get two more points before the half ended when Colwell was tackled in his own end zone for a safety :40 before the end of the half. Taconic Hills added a touchdown and two-point conversion in the second half while holding C-A scoreless to sew up the victory. Flaum led the Titans ground attack with 78 yards on 20 carries.

CAIRO — The Ichabod Crane football team won its first season opener since 2012 on Saturday and it did so in impressive fashion. Austin Walsh threw for 186 yards and accounted for four touchdowns and Marcus George scored three times as the Riders defeated Catskill/ Cairo-Durham, 44-0, at Angelo Canna Town Park. “You never know first week what’s going to happen,” Ichabod Crane coach Tom Call said. “We knew what we had in the building and I think a lot of people were underestimating us. We were just excited to show what we could do.” The Riders certainly showed what they are capable of on Saturday, scoring on each of their first three possessions. Among all the bright spots, call was most pleased with the play of his big guys up front. “Our offensive line, we had a lot of questions, but today they definitely passed the test and gave Austin time to pass the ball and opened some nice running lanes for Marcus,” Call said. With ample time to throw, Walsh picked apart the CCD defense, completing 11 of 19 passes. Call knew Catskill/CairoDurham would concentrate on shutting down his All-State tight end Haydon Broockmann, and the Mustangs did a good job in limiting him to

Nadal wins it and weeps David Waldstein The New York Times News Service
NEW YORK — Moments after winning one of the most grueling tennis matches of his life, Rafael Nadal sat in his chair, a few tears streaming down his face while the large video screen showed highlights of his remarkable career. When the camera shifted to a live shot of Nadal watching the tribute, the fans in Arthur Ashe Stadium roared and Nadal dropped his head into his hands. The trickle of tears turned into weeping. Exhausted, overjoyed and relieved, the second-seeded Nadal needed every bit of his fighter’s spirit to overcome No. 5 Daniil Medvedev, 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4, in 4 hours, 50 minutes to win the U.S. Open for the fourth time and capture his 19th Grand Slam title in utterly gripping fashion. On the final point, a service return by Medvedev that sailed long, Nadal collapsed on his back, lay spread eagle for several moments and screamed into the night air. One might think that winning so many major titles would become routine. But Nadal, 33, had to work as hard as he ever has, thanks to Medvedev’s courageous comeback from being down two sets to none to force a fifth set. Afterward Nadal called it one of the most emotional moments of his career. It was also one of the most compelling U.S. Open men’s finals in recent years. “The last three hours of the match were very, very intense, both mentally and physically,” Nadal said. “At the end, with the video and the crowd, it was amazing. All these facts made the moment super special.” The 19 titles moved Nadal to within one of Roger Federer’s men’s record for major singles championships and raised the specter that he could catch his 38-year-old rival as soon as next year. For many years there was doubt about Nadal’s ability to draw even with Federer, especially because he seemed injury prone. But durability has been a recent ally of Nadal’s, and with his inexorable grip on the French Open, that doubt has been replaced by a whiff of inevitability. In addition to his four U.S. Opens, Nadal has won 12 French Opens, two Wimbledons and one Australian Open. He is five years younger than Federer. Novak Djokovic is not out of the picture, either. He has 16 major titles, and at 32 is the youngest of the group. When Djokovic is of sound body and mind,

he is close to unbeatable. He showed that by winning four of the previous five majors, but he had to pull out of the U.S. Open in the fourth round because of a shoulder injury. It is not unreasonable to project that, in the years to come, the order of the Big Three in the record books could be reversed. Nadal’s win also extended the Big Three’s streak of consecutive Grand Slam titles to 12, dating back to Stan Wawrinka’s win at the 2016 U.S. Open. “Well, we are getting old,” Nadal said with a smile, and added, “That competition, if that attracts fans and creates interest for people, that’s good for our sport, no? I feel honored to be part of this battle.” Medvedev, a 23-year-old Russian playing his first Grand Slam final, came ever so close to barging his way into the champions club. His pulsating effort Sunday transformed him, perhaps forever, from tournament villain to noble loser with a promising future. During Medvedev’s third-round match against Feliciano López, he was booed after he angrily snatched a towel from a ball person and then was shown on the court video screen gesturing with his middle finger. After that match, he taunted the ornery crowd by telling them its
Harvick wins at Brickyard to surge into Playoffs Field Level Media
If momentum means a bunch in auto racing, then Kevin Harvick will enter the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Playoffs with a good shot of racking up a second series championship. Harvick won one of Cup’s biggies on Sunday, and he did it rather handily. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver led a race-best 119 laps as he rumbled to victory in the Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “I know how much this means (to everybody on his team),” Harvick said. “I know how much this means to, really, everybody.” The victory in the series’ regular-season finale was Harvick’s third in the last seven races and gave him his sixth top-seven result during that time. It was the 2014 Cup champ’s second win at the famed 2.5-mile oval and it came by a robust 6.1 seconds over runner-up Joey Logano of Team Penske. As dominating as Harvick was, he said he needed a bit of late-race luck. “I don’t know if we had the best car,” said Harvick, who was the race’s pole-sitter. “We gave up the lead on one of those restarts and then we came and pitted and the caution came out and it worked our way. We’ve given so many of them away just because of circumstances here, and the way the caution flag fell today actually worked in our favor. It gave us control of the race and we were able to keep control of the race.” Bubba Wallace had a huge day for Richard Petty Racing as he finished third, giving
him his second-ever podium finish. Rounding out the top five were William Byron of Hendrick Motorsports and Clint Bowyer of Stewart-Haas. The race at the Brickyard set the field for the 16-driver, 10-race Playoffs, which will begin next weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. One notable driver who did not make the field is Jimmie Johnson. His hopes to win a record eighth Cup championship ended in the Turn 2 wall at Indy. Just after the restart for the third and final stage of the Brickyard, Johnson found himself on the bottom of the track, three-wide with Hendrick Motorsports teammate Byron and Kurt Busch of Chip Ganassi Racing. Johnson and Byron bumped doors, sending Johnson hard into the wall. So, for the first time since the series began its playoff format in 2004, Johnson will not be included. “Certainly disappointing. We needed a stellar day and I think we were having a strong day,” said Johnson, who qualified fifth for the race. “I’m on the inside going into the corner and it was just super tight. Unfortunately that happened.” He said he looks forward to a brighter 2020 season. “This team is getting strong each and every week,” he said. “We’re ready to roll.” Four drivers – Bowyer, Daniel Suarez, Ryan Newman and Johnson – had started the day with shots at winning the final two Playoff spots. Twenty-six points separated Bowyer and Johnson.
boos motivated him to win. Medvedev, who had never reached even the fourth round of a major tournament until last week, was the best player on tour during the summer hardcourt season, reaching four straight finals and going 20-3. Medvedev is a frustrating opponent who capitalizes on unpredictability with a variety of shots, mixing speeds, spins and drop shots along with a hard, flat backhand. But when he was down two sets and a service break in the third Sunday, the tactical thought foremost on his mind was how would he handle his postmatch loser’s interview. “I was thinking, ‘OK, in 20 minutes I have to give a speech. What do I say?’” Medvedev recalled. He ended up speaking nearly three hours later. After his earlier missteps, Medvedev eventually endeared himself to the New York fans, culminating in Sunday’s thriller, and he told them that their positive support provided him with the incentive to keep fighting, no matter how daunting the challenge. “I knew I had to leave my heart out there for them,” he said. Playing with newfound abandon, he
discovered a different gear, turning a potential rout into a battle of attrition. He broke back against the surprised Nadal and then held for 4-3. Nadal had two break points at 4-4, but Medvedev fought them off, the highlight a 28-shot rally that took both players to and fro until Nadal hit a forehand into the net. That elicited cheers from the fans, who chanted Medvedev’s name just a week after his brief villainous turn, and he rode the momentum almost until the very end of the match, which required 341 total points. “I managed to give huge fight to one of the best players in the history of our sport,” he said. “Have to give myself credit.” With Nadal serving at 5-6 in the third set, Medvedev won the first three points, including a sizzling forehand down the line at 0-15 that signaled his new aggressive intent and caused the crowd to erupt. Then, at 15-40, he charged in to hit a backhand winner and take the set. In the fourth set, Medvedev started to serveand-volley more to shorten rallies, but the set proceeded on serve until the 10th game. With Nadal serving at 4-5, Medvedev sealed the 52-minute set with a return winner, snapping a backhand down the line past an approaching Nadal. Medvedev had chances to pull ahead early in the fifth set, earning three break points in Nadal’s first service game, all of which Nadal saved by summoning his experience and strength. But he admitted he was worried about the outcome. “I was in trouble,” Nadal said. “But I really tried to avoid this thought.” Nadal broke Medvedev’s for 3-2 and then went up 5-2, but the drama was not over. Nadal was called for a time violation and doublefaulted on break point, giving Medvedev one last chance. Medvedev saved two match points and held for 4-5, and the match was on Nadal’s racket again. Nadal faced down a break point, and then at deuce he carved out a nervy forehand slice drop shot to give him his third match point. He fired a 124-mph serve that Medvedev returned long, and Nadal fell on his back for 12 long seconds. All that was left was a well-earned handshake, a standing ovation for two worthy competitors, and some tears. “This trophy means everything to me,” Nadal said. “Personal satisfaction, the way that I resisted all these tough moments, is very high. I normally try to hold the emotions, but for all these facts, it was impossible today.”
As new faces emerge, Serena Williams gets acquainted with failure Christopher Clarey The New York Times News Service
NEW YORK — The handwriting was not only on the wall for Serena Williams in this instance. It was on the check. Bianca Andreescu, even at age 15 in 2015, knew what she wanted and, above all, what was possible. So back then she wrote herself a personal check for the amount won by the champion of the U.S. Open. On Saturday, after beating Williams, 6-3, 7-5, for the title, she got the real deal: prize money of $3.85 million. “Oh my God,” Andreescu said. A few hours later, I asked Andreescu if, when she was younger, she had written any checks to herself for winning the other three Grand Slam tournaments: Australian Open, French Open or Wimbledon? “No, only the U.S. Open,” she said. But, she added, “maybe it’s time.” Andreescu, a Canadian teenager with so much talent and no shortage of charisma, has every right and reason to keep dreaming bigger. Of all the talented youngsters storming the citadel of women’s tennis, she has the most complete game and the best big-match temperament. Staying healthy has been a challenge, but she is 8-0 against the top 10 in her short career, with all those victories coming this season. “She’s the best of them all,” Carling Bassett-Seguso, Canada’s first teenage tennis prodigy, said of Andreescu’s standing in the new generation of top players. Bassett-Seguso reached the U.S. Open semifinals at age 16 in 1984 and peaked in the rankings at No. 8. Andreescu will be No. 5 on Monday. “I slept maybe two hours last night because I was so excited for her,” Bassett-Seguso said. “She’s fierce on the court but she’s also humble in her comments, and I can see her being
a phenomenal ambassador in the future, not just for Canadian tennis but for sport and for women.” Like other WTA youngsters, Andreescu is getting the precious opportunity to make a name for herself by playing against Williams, the greatest player of this era. Beating Williams has an amplifying effect beyond compare in the women’s game, and though Williams is above all interested in winning more titles herself as she soldiers on at age 37, her enduring presence and relevance are also boons to her sport. Nothing helps a new arrival become a superstar the way defeating a superstar in a Grand Slam final does. Think back to Steffi Graf, who arrived and toppled Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. Think back to Monica Seles, who arrived and soon defeated Graf. Think back to Williams herself, who arrived in her sister Venus’ shadow and then seized the spotlight by upsetting Martina Hingis in 1999 to win her first Grand Slam singles title at the U.S. Open at age 17. “It goes full circle,” Evert said Sunday. “I was a teenager who had no pressure and beat the top players like Billie Jean King and Margaret Court when they were at the end of their careers. Steffi beat me at the end of mine. What goes around comes around. Serena is learning that now, but you have to and should play both roles if you want longevity.” Was Andreescu intimidated by the Williams aura Saturday? “Of course,” she said after a pause. “I just prepared myself the best way I could, like I do every match. But having that opportunity to play against her and then actually winning the match is just so crazy.” No longer as crazy as it would once have seemed. Williams won 21 of her first
25 major singles finals. But she has won just two of her last eight and has lost four straight since returning to the tour last season after giving birth to her first child. Her comeback has inspired many others, including her friend Allyson Felix, the American track star, who nine months after her pregnancy won a 150-meter race in Stockton, California, on Saturday. But the more that Williams falters in big matches, the more empowered all of her potential rivals become. Her last four defeats in major finals — all straight-sets losses — have come against four different players. Two came at Wimbledon against established figures: Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep, who both had won major titles and reached No. 1 in the rankings. The other two defeats came at the U.S. Open against new arrivals: Naomi Osaka, who was 20 when she beat Williams in last year’s final, and Andreescu, who is 19. Williams also lost in straight sets in the third round of this year’s French Open to Sofia Kenin, a 20-year-old American. That is a lot of empowerment, and it is unlikely to get easier for Williams, even if she beats the odds by staying healthy and being able to consistently train and compete, which has not been the case for much of this injury-filled season. Patrick Mouratoglou, her coach, lobbied Sunday for
Williams to push on and keep chasing more success. “There is always the option to give up, advised by those who let their frustrations rule their opinions,” he said in a message posted on social media. “The other option is to continue the fight for winning other majors. It is a deep pain to work so hard, give it all, and fail.” Mouratoglou continued by saying one of the characteristics of a champion is “to never give up, whatever they go through, until they reach their goal.” “Serena is the ultimate champion,” he said. “Sport can be ruthless, but that is also why we love it.” The question is how much disappointment Williams is prepared to take at this late stage of her career. It could be a tough call. The signals are mixed. She has shown dominant form on her way to major finals. She beat 18th-seeded Wang Qiang, 6-1, 6-0, and fifth-seeded Elina Svitolina, 6-3, 6-1, before facing Andreescu. At Wimbledon this year, Williams overwhelmed Barbora Strycova, 6-1, 6-2, in the semifinals before losing in a hurry to Halep. Is it a mental block? Or is it more about regime change, with more players of all ages now capable of absorbing Williams’ power and competitive fury and showing swagger of their own under Grand Slam pressure?

How Adam Gase handles bad loss in Jets’ debut will tell us if he’s here for the long run Neil Best Newsday
NEW YORK — Welcome to New York, Adam Gase! Having fun yet? In fairness, let us first note that there have been worse Jets losses in the half-century since they last reached the Super Bowl, and even in the nearly a decade since they last made the playoffs. But it also is fair to say that as season openers go, losses do not get much worse than Sunday’s, when the Jets fell to the Bills, 17-16, at MetLife Stadium after having led 16-0 late in the third quarter. It was the first game for their new coach, Gase, new general manager, Joe Douglas, and new star running back, Le’Veon Bell, and the first game of the rest of no-longer-a-rookie-quarterback Sam Darnold’s career. And it was against a division opponent perceived as a relatively soft prelude to a treacherous stretch of schedule, played before a large, excited crowd that got up extra early to tailgate. And other than a fumble on a multiple-lateral play as time expired, the Jets were plus-4 in turnover differential, an extraordinarily difficult position from which to lose an NFL game. The only sliver of good news is that now that Gase’s honeymoon period is over 60 minutes after it began, how he handles the coming days and weeks will give us a good idea of his ability to lead the team for the long run. The Jets did their best to strike a tone of disappointment rather than devastation, starting with Gase, but he also is not one to mince words. He called his team “inept on offense,” said of Darnold’s day, “We have room for improvement,” and when given a chance to say something

remotely positive about his kicker, Kaare Vedvik, he punted the matter to Monday. “It’s never fun to lose,” he said. “That’s how everybody feels, everybody affiliated with our organization, all the fans. Nobody’s happy. You lose, you lose, whether it’s by one or by 50.” Now comes the delicate task of making sure his team understands the errors of its ways while not losing confidence.
Hey, you never know. Three of the Giants’ four Super Bowl-winning teams lost their openers. But Jets fans do have reason for concern. Gase, an expert on offense in general and quarterbacks in particular, seemed unable to solve a Bills defense that has its merits, but also is coming off a 6-10 season. Why were so many of Darnold’s passes tipped at the line? Gase said the Bills specialize in that.
Cowboys’ long drives keep Giants’ Barkley off the field Ben Shpigel The New York Times News Service
ARLINGTON, Texas — Saquon Barkley spent most of the first three quarters Sunday on the New York Giants’ sideline. He was not hurt or benched. To the contrary: On their second play from scrimmage, he surged through a hole, shook a Dallas defender and sprinted down the sideline for a 59-yard gain. Barkley loitered away from the action because, as a running back, he does not play defense. Although perhaps he should have Sunday, when the Giants’ inability to cover, tackle or generate any semblance of a pass rush hastened a 35-17 loss at AT&T Stadium that exposed the chasm of roster talent separating them from the reigning NFC East champion Cowboys. The Giants closed the first half by allowing touchdowns — all on Dak Prescott passes — on three consecutive drives. The Giants opened the second half by allowing touchdowns — another Prescott pass, an Ezekiel Elliott run — on consecutive drives. “It was a different guy every time,” safety Michael Thomas said. He was referring to his teammates, whose communication and technique breakdowns produced five Dallas scoring drives of at least 75 yards (including three of 83 or more). But he also could have been lamenting the Cowboys’ balanced offense, with Prescott throwing for 405 yards — and from a clean pocket — and five different players scoring touchdowns. Outside their locker room afterward, team owner Jerry Jones marveled at his squad’s balance, saying he hadn’t seen such unpredictability since Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and
Michael Irvin were leading Dallas to three Super Bowls in the 1990s. “I don’t know if I’ve seen us since those days be able to take whatever the defense gives us and find an answer to it,” Jones said. The longer the Cowboys held the ball, and by extension the more points they scored, the longer Barkley — by far the Giants’ most dynamic player — lingered on the sideline, his ability to alter the game diminishing by the minute. As the Giants’ offense revolved around Eli Manning, who threw for 306 yards but oversaw an offense that managed just three points over a six-possession span, Barkley finished with 11 carries (for 120 yards), five coming in the first half, before the game devolved into a rout. Even in the third quarter, when they trailed by 28-10, the Giants opted not to give Barkley the ball on consecutive short-yardage plays inside the Cowboys’ 10 — third-and-2 and fourthand-1 — and wound up losing possession on Manning’s fumble. “Obviously as a competitor, you want the ball in your hands,” Barkley said. “But you’ve got to trust the system. You’ve got to trust your teammates.” Even though the Cowboys, like the Giants, counter this passing-oriented league by pegging their identity on their running attack, their offense is diverse and unpredictable enough to compensate while their own star running back, Elliott, eases his way back into game shape. Elliott missed all of training camp and the preseason, holding out for the six-year contract that he eventually received last week. In the meantime, Prescott had more time to work with the deepest, and best, offense of his
four seasons in Dallas. As Elliott rushed 13 times for 53 yards Sunday, Prescott shredded the Giants, completing 25 of 32 passes, spread among seven receivers. Under their new coordinator, Kellen Moore, the Cowboys deployed a creative offense, loaded with play-action and screens, that seemed to maximize their bounty of receiving options — and perplex the Giants. On Prescott’s first touchdown, Blake Jarwin was so open down the middle that he had time to learn Sanskrit before catching the 28-yard pass. On Prescott’s second, tight end Jason Witten, who might have come out of retirement solely to torment the Giants twice a season, slipped free off the line. On Prescott’s third, Amari Cooper welcomed rookie cornerback Deandre Baker to the league by catching a 21-yard fade. The Giants, after going 5-11 last year, profess they will be better this season for various reasons. More comfort in coach Pat Shurmur’s system. An improved offensive line. A tighter locker room. All of that might become true — emphasis on might — and yet it cannot obscure that they traded away one of the league’s best receivers, Odell Beckham Jr., and also no longer have star safety Landon Collins or strong pass-rusher Olivier Vernon, both of whom the Giants maybe, just maybe, could have used. Instead they will plow forward with what they have: a young defense, an old quarterback and a stud running back, who, unfortunately for the Giants, watched more of the game than he played.
Brady all in on Patriots adding Brown Field Level Media
Tom Brady threw three touchdown passes in New England’s Week 1 whitewash of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Patriots are about to welcome Antonio Brown to their offense. Brady, who guided the Patriots to a 33-3 victory on Sunday night, will work to get Brown acclimated in time to potentially play a role for the team at Miami on Sunday. “I think everybody’s excited to add great players,” Brady said. “It helps everybody when you have great players that are sharing the burden of a tough football season. I think, like anything else, whether it was Josh (Gordon) last year or
Phillip (Dorsett) when he got here a few years ago late, and then this year Antonio, how much can you learn and process and get in here? And we’re all going to work hard and try to get up to speed as fast as possible. But, we haven’t had a training camp together or that, so you’ve got to force a lot of information. We’re all excited to have him. All I could say is we’re just going to work as hard as we possibly can to get up to speed as quickly as possible.” Patriots owner Robert Kraft told NBC Sports’ Al Michaels that Brady was “a million percent in” on signing Brown, who invited and even staged his share of drama with the Oakland Raiders and never played
a regular-season snap with the team. Brown was traded to Oakland from the Steelers. Pittsburgh decided to cut ties with the Pro Bowl receiver after he bailed on the team prior to the 2018 regular-season finale. Of course, this isn’t the first time Patriots coach Bill Belichick has rolled the dice on a player viewed as a problem child or outcast. Gordon was acquired after being suspended multiple times by the Cleveland Browns. Others in that category who produced for the Patriots include cornerback Aqib Talib, wide receiver Randy Moss and running back Corey Dillon. Gordon said the first days acclimating to the “Patriot
Way” might not go easily. “For me, initially it was a culture shock. It was definitely different,” Gordon said. “I think as I grew in this environment and got to observe other young men move and organize and act professionally, expectations were high. It wasn’t anything more than what I think they knew that they could do was being asked of them. I was like, ‘Alright, this is the way it’s done here.’ I could either get with it, or look for a transition somewhere else. It’s tough, but if this is what you want to do, I think this is the best place to be. “Antonio is Antonio. He’s going to have to figure out his own way, just like everybody else has.”
Why were the Jets so unable to beat the Bills with deep passes? Gase said the Bills specialize in that, too. And what of a defense that crumbled the minute linebacker C.J. Mosley departed with a groin injury? “I felt like our energy died, man, and we weren’t playing team ball,” safety Jamal Adams said. All of this could turn around quickly if the Jets rebound next Monday night against the Browns, of course. But in the shorter term, the Jets would do well to ignore the rest of us and move on quickly. “We can’t let one game define our season,” Gase said, “because they’re going to line us up next week, and nobody is going to care if we won or lost the week before.” Said linebacker Jordan Jenkins, “If you don’t pay us, if you don’t coach us, if you don’t have anything do with us, we don’t care. Talk. Say what you want to say. At the end of the day, we’re just going to keep doing us. That’s it.” That is the message Gase likely will preach, and that’s fine, as long as he also keeps it real regarding the day he and his players let each other and everyone else down. It’s the kind of balance successful coaches must strike, somewhere between Adams saying, “It’s not the end of the world, it’s one loss,” and defensive lineman Leonard Williams dejectedly saying this: “It was just a bad start to the season when we had this game in the bag. It was a division game, which counts as double. We were close to closing this one out and having a great start, but we just let it slip through our fingers.”
Team USA tops Brazil and qualifies for 2020 Olympics Field Level Media
Team USA qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and headed to the FIBA World Cup quarterfinals with an 89-73 victory Monday against Brazil in Shenzhen, China. The Americans will face France on Wednesday in Dongguan, with the winner meeting either Argentina or Serbia in the semifinals. Myles Turner and Kemba Walker each scored 16 points to lead Team USA, which shot 52.2 percent from the field and had more steals (11) than turnovers (10). The game was knotted at 33 midway through the second quarter before the U.S. pulled away for good with an 8-0 run. Marcus Smart’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter gave the Americans a 67-56 lead and they led by as many as 21 points in the
final frame. Jaylen Brown added 11 points, Harrison Barnes had 10 and Smart and Khris Middleton each scored nine. Jayson Tatum remained on the sidelines with an ankle injury. Vitor Benite scored a gamehigh 21 points for Brazil, with Anderson Varejao and Leandrinho Barbosa each scoring 14 points. Brazil shot 43.1 percent from the field and just 26.3 percent (5 of 19) from 3-point range while committing 15 turnovers. Team USA clinched a spot in next summer’s Olympics in Japan by finishing as the topranked team from the Americas during group competition.

LIVINGSTON AND HIS WIFE SARAH LIVINGSTON, Defendants. Upon the annexed Complaint sworn to by Carl Hasselbarth, President of the Board of Trustees of the Presbytery of Albany, on the 22nd day of May, 2019; the Affidavit of Carolyn Snyder Lemmon, attorney for the Plaintiff herein, sworn on the 29th day of May, 2019; and upon all other previous papers and proceedings in this matter, and due deliberation having been taken, it is in the discretion of the Court: ORDERED, that Defendants show cause at the Supreme Court of the State of New York, held in and for the County of Albany, at the Courthouse, 16 Eagle Street, Albany, New York, on the 7/5/19 (as in original draft Order: June 19, 2019), at 9:30 a.m. * No appearance required unless directed by Assigned Judge (initialed GWC 6/19/19), or as soon thereafter as counsel can be heard, why an Order and Judgment should not be rendered: 1. Approving Plaintiff's service on all defendants of the Summons and Complaint in this action under CPLR 308(1), (2) or (4) as Plaintiff has demonstrated that identifying the names and addresses of eight generations of heirs and assigns of the Livingston grantors, all told numbering at least in the hundreds of defendants, would be economically and administratively unreasonable and unfair to Plaintiff; 2. Approving Plaintiff's publication in newspapers of general interest in Albany and Columbia Counties and through communications of Friends of Clermont as reasonable alternatives to personal service to apprise defendants of the action; 3. Approving Plaintiff's service on all Defendants pursuant to CPLR 308(5) by publication of legal notice in the Albany Times Union and Register-Star, twice a week for three consecutive weeks, which shall include the following: a) The court and parties to this action, together with the index and RJI numbers; b) A statement that the action is to extinguish deed restrictions pursuant to Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law Section 1955 and Real Property Law Section 345 on the use of land of the extinct church formerly known as the Carlisle Presbyterian Church, located at 2416 Highway Route 20 and 629 Crommie Road, both in the Town of Carlisle, County of Schoharie, New York, title to which has been vested in the Plaintiff; c) The Court has directed substitute service pursuant to CPLR 308(5); d) Copies of the Complaint and supporting papers and a copy of the Order directing substitute service pursuant to CPLR 308(5) are available for public viewing at the Albany County Court Clerk's Office, located at the Albany County Court-

DATED: 6/19/19 ENTER: (Original Signed by Gerald W. Connolly, Acting Supreme Court Justice) STATE OF NEW YORK SUPREME COURT COUNTY OF ALBANY TRUSTEES OF THE PRESBYTERY OF ALBANY, Plaintiff, COMPLAINT Index No.: 903216 RJI No.: 01-19-132107 -againstHEIRS AND ASSIGNS OF JOHN H. LIVINGSTON AND SARAH LIVINGSTON, Defendants. ACTION TO EXTINGUISH DEED RESTRICTIONS This is an action to extinguish ancient deed restrictions pursuant to Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law §1955 on the use of land of the extinct church formerly known as the Carlisle Presbyterian Church in the Town of Carlisle, County of Schoharie, New York. Title to the extinct church property is now vested in the Presbytery of Albany, located in Watervliet, New York. The 1806 deed, with a transcription for the Court's convenience, are included herewith as Exhibit A. Carl Hasselbarth, President of the Trustees of Presbytery of Albany, complaining of the defendants, alleges: 1. Plaintiff, Trustees of the Presbytery of Albany, is a religious, notfor-profit corporation duly incorporated on the 20th day of January, 1959, under Section 15 of the Religious Corporation Laws of the State of New York. 2. Plaintiff's business mailing address is P.O. Box 83, Watervliet, New York. 3. Plaintiff is responsible for the mission and governance of local denominational churches and of the
Presbytery throughout the Capital Region. The Book of Order of the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (USA) Part II expressly states that whenever property of a particular church ceases to be used by that church, such property shall be held, used, applied, transferred, or sold as provided by the presbytery. 4. This Complaint concerns a restriction in the form of a reverter in the deed conveyed to the former Carlisle Presbyterian Church, which was within the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Plaintiff. 5. The Carlisle Presbyterian Church voted to dissolve on October 11, 2018. Plaintiff approved the dissolution on November 13, 2018. 6. Upon dissolution, the real and personal property of the Carlisle Presbyterian Church passed under denominational law to Plaintiff. 7. The subject property is located at 2416 Highway Route 20 and 629 Crommie Road, both of which are in the Town of Carlisle, County of Schoharie, New York. 8. The subject property was conveyed in 1806 from John H. Livingston of the City of New York and his wife Sarah Livingston to the Trustees of the Carlisle Presbyterian Church. 9. The dissolution of the Carlisle Presbyterian Church invoked a restriction in the said 1806 deed, to wit: that the grantors' gift continues for "so long as the said Congregation shall worship and perform divine service, and remain in due and regular connection as a Church either with the Presbyterian Church or with the reformed Dutch church in America…[a]nd for no other intent, use or purpose whatsoever." The deed further provides that upon a failure of the condition of the grant, then ""it shall and may be lawful for the …heirs and assigns in and upon the premises aforesaid to reenter, and the same to have again, repossess and enjoy as in their former estate." The handwritten deed, with a transcription by Catherine Adams, are Exhibit "A" hereto. 10.Plaintiff does not have a new congregation to worship and make religious use of the subject property and cannot afford to maintain the property. Upon Court approval of this action to extinguish the deed restric-
tion, Plaintiff will proceed to market and sell the property. AS AND FOR A FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION: THE DEED RESTRICTIONS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPEDE PLAINTIFF IN FURTHERANCE OF THE RELIGIOUS PURPOSES FOR WHICH THE LAND IS HELD 11.The property consists of approximately three acres, including a church with an attached back building, a parsonage ("manse"), and a vacant school. The sanctuary is approximately 135 years old and is constructed of wood with vinyl siding. 12.The church building is reported to be in fairly good repair. 13.Plaintiff cannot afford the costs of insurance, maintenance, ploughing and snow removal without seriously compromising its ability to carry out its religious obligations for the remainder of its jurisdiction. AS AND FOR A SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION: THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE DEED RESTRICTION CAN NO LONGER BE MET 14.Plaintiff repeats, reiterates and realleges each and every allegation number "11" through "13" as if fully set forth herein and further alleges: 15.Plaintiff cannot continue the purpose for which the deed restriction was created, that is the use and occupancy as a Protestant Presbyterian Church. At the time that the last religious services were held at the Carlisle Presbyterian Church on July 29, 2018, the Church membership stood at approximately twentyeight (28), which is not a viable number to sustain the religious, financial and maintenance needs of this church. 16.No interest has been shown by any other group to establish a new denominational church of Plaintiff on the premises of the former Carlisle Presbyterian Church. AS AND FOR A THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION: DEFENDANTS WILL SUFFER NO SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE BY EXTINGUISHMENT OF THE DEED RESTRICTIONS AND SHOULD NOT BE AWARDED ANY DAMAGES OR ANY RESTITUTION OF THE LAND OR ITS VALUE 17.Plaintiff repeats, reiterates and realleges each and every allegation number "14" through "16" as if fully set forth herein and further alleges:
18.The property is situated on a steep slope with limited access via a side road (Crommie Road), but with no direct access from the highway (State Route 20). The church is reported to be expensive to heat. As the surrounding land is primarily farm land with limited potential for commercial development, the marketability of the property is constrained. Development would necessitate demolition of the church and vacant school, the costs of which would likely exceed market value. Residential or commercial development would preclude the current tax exempt status. 19.Defendants should not be entitled to a windfall through this ancient deed restriction that would further impede the plaintiff's ability to carry out its religious purposes. AS AND FOR A FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION: THE GRANTORS' INTENT WAS TO PROMOTE CHARITABLE AND RELIGIOUS PURPOSES AND NOT TO RESTRICT THE USE OF THE LAND 20.Plaintiff repeats, reiterates and realleges each and every allegation number "17" through "19" as if fully set forth herein and further alleges: 21.The grantors' intent is clearly provided for in the deed: "to promote the interest of the congregation and the promulgation of the Gospel as the same is prosesed (sic) by both the Presbyterian and Dutch Churches in America." 22.The express charitable and religious purposes of the grantors
manifest a deed restriction intended to ensure that the substantial value of the land be devoted to religious purposes by the church, as the party of the second part, rather than to restrict the use of the land. The Attorney General of the State of New York is named as a party to this action as required by RPAPL §1955. No prior application to any court or judge has been made for the relief requested herein. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the deed restrictions on the use of the land held for religious purposes by Plaintiff be extinguished, that no award for any damages or any restitution of the land or its value be made to defendants, and for such other and further relief that to the Court seems just and proper.

It appears your husband is playing mind games with you. And I’m also concerned about how this volatility is affecting your children. If something isn’t done about it, it will destroy your marriage. I’m a 23-year-old man living in Texas. I am a college graduate and on my own now. My parents are very caring, but my father has an unhealthy obsession with me. He messages me multiple times a day. It never stops. I’m currently looking for
teaching jobs, and he tries to intervene by looking for them for me. He’s like a wasp that will not go away, and it is making me very uncomfortable. Even though I am an adult, he tries to tell me what to do and how to do it. I am so confused; please help me. Letting Go In Texas Keep in mind that your father means well. He doesn’t understand you are now an adult and don’t need his interventions. Have a talk with both of your parents about this. Tell them your father’s constant messaging is making you extremely uncomfortable. Ask him to please stop and warn them both that if he doesn’t, you will be forced to block his communication and keep your distance from him. My best girlfriend for 40 years broke up with me because, after she told me she and her husband were having marital problems, I told her the last time we two couples were using their hot tub, her hubby was stroking my leg with his foot. I know I ruined everything, but I thought she should know. Did I do the right thing? I have written long letters of apology, but she has completely shut me out. Telling The Truth In Ohio
Inappropriate sinus tachycarTO YOUR dia is an uncommon diagnosis, GOOD HEALTH most often seen in women in their 30s. The heart rate is fast (“tachycardia”), but on an EKG it appears normal, meaning it comes from the sino-atrial node, the natural pacemaker of the heart, hence “sinus.” The average heart rate must be over 90 for 24 hours. It’s important to be sure there isn’t another cause for the tachycardia, such as elevated thyroid levels, fever, volume depletion (dehydration) or anemia. The symptoms may continue for months or even years. Common symptoms include the lightheadedness you felt, but may also include palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness and decreased ability to exercise. The diagnosis can sometimes be confused with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), where the heart rate dramatically increases with changing to an upright position. A tilt-table test is the diagnostic test for POTS. If there is no other reason for sinus tachycardia, then medication may be used to reduce symptoms. A beta blocker is the usual first choice, but there are others available.

You did nothing wrong by telling your longtime friend. The fault that the friendship is over doesn’t lie with you. She is probably embarrassed, or her husband lied and told her what he did was harmless.
Fast heartbeat doesn’t show up on EKG I had symptoms of lightheadedness, so my doctor ordered an EKG and sent me to a cardiologist. They did a heart monitor for a week and said I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia but that I don’t need any treatment. I’m still having symptoms. What can I do?

I found some more information at https://tinyurl.com/ISTheart that may be useful for you. Which of these is safest to clean kitchen countertops where we eat: vinegar, alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride or sodium hypochlorite? Vinegar and baking soda is a time-honored, effective treatment using products you can eat, so it is very safe. Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, also called benzalkonium chloride, is found in many household cleaners, such as Lysol. They can be quite dangerous if ingested in a large quantity. When used properly, at low concentration (such as the residual amount left after wiping down a counter), they should be fine. They are used as preservatives in some medications, such as eyedrops. As with all chemicals, the dose makes the poison. Sodium hypochlorite is bleach. It is also found in many cleaning products, such as Clorox. Although it is very effective, the odor even at low concentration is offensive to many people (including me). It, too, is safe if used properly. Personally, I advise mostly using soap and water, and if cooking something with high risk of bacteria, such as raw meat, using a cutting board you can toss in the dishwasher. That is nearly as effective as a sterilizer.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you have been endowed with a great many talents, but your ability to think through even the most complex of issues and understand them inside and out will surely be your most outstanding trait in both your personal life and your professional affairs. You like being held in high esteem, and you know how to position yourself so that others look up to you. You are able, like so many other Virgo natives, to maintain a realistic self-image, even while doing things that set you apart from the crowd and attract a great deal of attention. This doesn’t mean, of course, that you have no ambitions; on the contrary, you see yourself enjoying a great deal of success and climbing the ladder to fame and fortune at a healthy pace. But you do not let your ambitions run away with you; you are always willing to work hard for what you want, and you never expect something for nothing. Also born on this date are: Colin Firth, actor; Arnold Palmer, golfer; Ryan Phillippe, actor; Karl Lagerfeld, designer; Roger Maris, baseball player; Randy Johnson, baseball player; Bill O’Reilly, TV host; Chris Columbus, director. To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your memories are chock-full of imagery that can mean much to you once you have brought them into sharper focus. Dreams may be misleading. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today’s success borrows much from yesterday’s efforts. Seek a more direct route to your intended destination. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may have overlooked something yesterday that you can pay attention to today. Someone may take offense, but you’ll do what is right. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — It’s time for you to reach out on your own toward something that holds value only for you — but a conflict with a friend may result. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Take care that you do not overthink a current problem, or it will seem much greater than it really is. Focus on the central issue. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Your attempt to get to the heart of the matter may backfire today as you reveal certain elements that increase a situation’s emotional impact. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You want to do the right thing, certainly, but today you may not hear the signals that tell you how that can be done. Listen more closely! ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’re trying to do something in a brand-new way, but not everyone will respond as you might hope. You meet resistance from an old friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You can avoid conflict by going about your business in a manner that attracts little or no attention. Do your best to avoid setting off alarms. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You discover something about yourself that you may not like very much — at first. A friend gives you perspective, and your judgment shifts. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Someone with whom you are at odds changes the conditions of the playing field on which you are battling. This may give you the advantage! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can do much with little today. Take care that you do not squander what resources you have at your disposal. A message arrives from afar.
