WINDHAM — Democratic leaders from the mountaintop and the county at large will have a chance to make their case next week about a controversial caucus. Windham attorney Kevin Maldonado filed a petition on behalf of town supervisor candidate Nick Bove and town council candidate Natasha Shuster. The two candidates claimed at an August press conference

that Windham’s Democratic caucus had been undermined by Town Democratic Party Chairman Tom Poelker. State Supreme Court Judge Lisa M. Fisher granted Maldonado’s request for a hearing, which will be held Sept. 11 at the Greene County Courthouse. Shuster was excited to be getting answers, she said Wednesday. “I think it is great a judge is going to hear this,” she said. “My biggest concern is that we need to have a democracy. It looks like democratic ways are

not being followed here. It will be good to get to the bottom of why.” Bove agreed. “It’s a big victory for everybody,” he said. “It’s really about protecting democracy. It doesn’t matter what party affiliation you are. No one likes to see votes get ignored.” Bove said he believes that the judicial branch will ensure that democracy is being carried out properly. Bove and Shuster were See HEARING A2

As the gun control debate continues to swirl, Walmart announced Tuesday it would halt some ammunition sales. There are two Walmart stores in the Twin Counties — one in Catskill in Greene County and another in

Greenport in Columbia County. The retailer announced Tuesday that it would stop selling ammunition that can be used in military-style assault rifles, along with other steps the company is taking. The move was made in response to a mass shooting at a

Acra nurse faces up to 20 years for fraud By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

Twitter Follow: @CatskillDailyMail

Walmart in El Paso, Texas, last month, which left 22 people dead, as well as other incidents, including the shooting death of two Walmart employees in Southaven, Mississippi, a few days earlier, according to a letter from Walmart Chief

ALBANY — A local nurse pleaded guilty Wednesday to a series of charges in connection with illegally distributing opioids while on the job. Sarah Brown, 42, of Acra admitted to conspiring to distribute controlled substances, health care fraud, aggravated identity theft and obstruction of justice. As part of her guilty plea, Brown, a former registered nurse, admitted that between 2015 and 2017, she worked with a co-conspirator, Dr. Myra Mabry, to obtain prescriptions for oxycodone,

morphine and hydromorphone for no legitimate medical purpose by impersonating Mabry’s patients at pharmacies, knowing that health care benefit programs would pay the cost of the drugs, according to U.S. Attorney Grant C. Jaquith. “Brown also admitted that she attempted to obstruct a federal investigation by testifying falsely before a federal grand jury that she was blackmailing Mabry into providing the prescriptions,” Jaquith said. Mabry told her girlfriend, Brown, to tell the grand jury that she was blackmailing Mabry by threatening

to expose their romantic relationship to Mabry’s husband and employer if she did not provide her with prescriptions for the controlled substances and Mabry would pay her for the false testimony, according to court papers. Mabry was not the subject of an extortion scheme, and was a willing member of the conspiracy to distribute opioids for no legitimate medical purpose, Jaquith said. “Brown admitted that Mabry agreed to pay Brown for the false testimony in the hope of minimizing Mabry’s criminal exposure and keeping her medical license,” Jaquith said.

Brown took the plea deal in exchange for her testimony against Mabry, according to court papers. In a telephone call between Mabry and Brown recorded by U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents, Mabry admitted to hatching the plan to try to fool the grand jury, according to court papers. Mabry, 50, of Catskill, pleaded guilty to illegal distribution of opioids, health care fraud and obstruction of justice in August and faces up to 20 years. She also pleaded guilty to aggravated See NURSE A2

sales growth in three years, boosted by gains in customer traffic and higher prices. It also increased its profit forecast, buoying investors a year after uninspiring results had them questioning the company. The company’s shares had gained more than 50% this year through the close of trading on Tuesday. But that surge may have brought higher expectations from Wall Street. The company faces steep competition in the U.S., where more premium coffee options have resonated with customers. Its plans in China could be hampered by geopolitical tension and local operators with ambitious expansion plans.

caliber, which is commonly used in some hunting rifles but can also be used in largecapacity, military-style weapons, McMillon said. Handgun ammunition will be discontinued once the store’s current inventory is sold. “I’m glad they’re doing this.” said Bob Warton, of Hudson. “Every little bit helps.” But the store will still sell firearms. “Our remaining assortment will be even more focused on the needs of hunting and sport-shooting enthusiasts,”

McMillon said. “It will include long-barrel deer rifles and shotguns, much of the ammunition they require, as well as hunting and sporting accessories and apparel.” The decision is expected to impact Walmart’s market share of ammunition, reducing it from 20% to roughly 6 to 9%, according to McMillon. In addition to restricting its ammunition sales, Walmart announced it would discourage its customers from openly carrying guns in its stores — open carry is prohibited in New York — and would

call on Congress to increase background checks and consider a new assault rifle ban. Nationally, Walmart has 4,000 stores and employs 1.5 million workers. It is the largest private employer in the United States. On a related topic, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a new gun-control bill Tuesday allowing law enforcement access to out-of-state records to help prevent a “dangerously mentally ill” person from obtaining a firearm license in the state. During the license application process, individuals must submit to a background check, but current law can in some cases prevent access to some out-ofstate mental health records, according to the governor. In 2019 Cuomo signed a slate of new legislation pertaining to gun laws, including extending the background check waiting period for some gun purchases; a ban on bump stocks and undetectable guns; expanding firearm storage laws; preventing school districts from arming teachers; and establishing statewide regulations for gun buyback programs, according to the governor’s office.

Greene County in a few years, Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said in August. “I believe her contract expired in late 2015 or early 2016,” he said. Mabry wrote prescriptions for opioids as part of a scheme with her girlfriend, a former heroin addict, according to a DEA statement. Mabry issued 51 prescriptions for oxycodone between May 20, 2015 and Jan. 30, 2017.

The prescriptions were filled by pharmacies at Price Chopper in Catskill under the names of Mabry’s patients, the DEA said. Mabry will be sentenced Dec. 4 in Albany. Brown faces a mandatory 2-year term of imprisonment on the aggravated identity theft charge and up to 20 years in prison on the remaining charges. She will be sentenced by

U.S. District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino. A defendant’s sentence is imposed by a judge based on the particular statute the defendant is charged with violating, U.S. sentencing guidelines and other factors. The case was investigated by the DEA with assistance from the state Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, and is was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Wayne A. Myers.

paperwork on Saturday and it was received on July 30, Maldonado said. Poelker faulted Shuster for the late paperwork. “I called Natasha Shuster, congratulating her, with very specific and clear directions to execute an affidavit of acceptance, signed, notarized and returned to me in a timely fashion for inclusion with other documents to be conveyed to the county board of elections,” Poelker said. “Unfortunately, this acceptance letter was never returned to me as directed to include in proper form with other paperwork, as New York State Board of Election Law requires. As a result, the filing was deemed late.” Shuster denies Poelker’s allegation. “He was not waiting for my paperwork,” she said. Poelker visited Shuster at her store Thursday morning and handed her the paperwork, she said. “He told me to get it back to him by the end of the weekend,” she said. “But I knew it was due at the end of the day.” Shuster took the paperwork to the courthouse to be notarized and delivered the paperwork to the board of elections, she said.

The board of elections gave Shuster a time-stamped copy of the paperwork, Shuster said. “He had his wife drop off another set of papers at the store and she also said they were due at the end of the weekend,” Shuster said. Shuster texted Poelker Friday morning to inform him that she delivered the paperwork herself. Maldonado said Poelker failed to fulfill his responsibilities as chairman. “We saw the chairman and secretary put their hands on a Bible and swear to adhere to their constitutional responsibilities,” Maldonado said. “What he did was outright fraud.” The issue at hand is not political, Maldonado said. “Party doesn’t matter,” he said. “Democracy matters and the fact that democracy is being stomped on.” The hearing will begin at

10:15 a.m. If successful, Bove and Shuster will have their names added to the ballot on the Democratic line. Bove is running against Republican Thomas Hoyt. Shuster is running along with Republicans Steven Walker and Kurt Goettsche for two town board seats. Shuster and Bove are running on the Independence line.

Executive Officer Doug McMillon to employees. “We’ve been giving a lot of thought to our sale of firearms and ammunition,” McMillon wrote. Walmart is the nation’s biggest retailer, and a large seller of firearms and ammunition. “As a company, we experienced two horrific events in one week, and we will never be the same,” according to the letter. Local reaction to the announcement was mixed. “I don’t think this will do anything to solve the problem of mass shootings,” said Michael Kent, of Hudson. Samantha Johnson, of Greenport, said she was in favor of the decision. “Anything we can do to put a stop to this, I am for it,” Johnson said. Walmart will sell off its existing inventory and will then discontinue sales of shortbarrel rifle ammunition such as the .223 caliber and 5.56

Starbucks slumped the most intraday in more than seven months after the coffee chain signaled that its profit growth will start to slow. The company spooked investors with a presentation that indicated its recent rate of 10% or more profit expansion won’t carry into next year. Starbucks said the effect of a tax benefit in 2019 will end in its next fiscal year, which starts in October, and the company will also reduce share buybacks. The stock slid as much as 3.9% to $93.03 in New York trading. Starbucks said it was “delivering against expectations” and that the

company remains confident in its strategy despite the two “non-recurring” factors hampering next year’s profit outlook. “I would say that we’re firing on all cylinders from an operating performance perspective, with the focus and discipline necessary to drive growth at scale for a company like Starbucks,” Pat Grismer, the company’s chief financial officer, said at an investor conference. Starbucks has made some changes in recent years to revitalize growth, including shuttering locations in U.S. markets that were densely populated with cafes and instead focusing more on suburban markets and expansion in China. In July, the company posted its best quarterly

nominated at the July 24 Democratic caucus. “It is not a coincidence that he (Poelker) held the caucus the day before the deadline,” Maldonado said in August. Paperwork from the caucus was due at the Greene County Board of Elections Office on July 25, Greene County Democratic Chairwoman Carolyn Riggs said last month. In addition to Poelker, the Greene County Board of Elections and the state Board of Elections are also named as defendants. State election law allows paperwork postmarked July 25 to be accepted if it is received within two business days, Riggs said. “I reached out to Mr. Poelker on Thursday to make sure we received the paperwork by the end of business,” Riggs said. “After multiple attempts, I received no reply.” Bove and Shuster met with Poelker on July 25 and Poelker assured them the paperwork would be filed, according to the petition.

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 loved 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

OUR VIEW

Early voting will be judged on turnout When New York state handed $10 million to county governments to implement early voting this year, Greene and Columbia counties moved to get a system in place for the November election. The age-old tradition of voting has caught up to the freedom and flexibility of our digitized social media era. The state Board of Elections is distributing $15,000 to each county for every early polling site. Columbia County will have three early voting sites and has been allocated an additional $45,000, and Greene County will have one, and will be given an additional $15,000. Voting will be exactly as

it always has been on Election Day — with a paper ballot that voters will mark and then scan into a voting machine. Signing in will be a little different. Voters will sign in on new electronic poll books that have been programmed with the voter rolls. Early voting is a way of giving people who otherwise do not vote a greater opportunity to participate in the democratic process by opening up the amount of hours available to them. But there are a couple of caveats to the early voting premise. First, the cost, labor and operational details of having extra election days could have a big impact on Greene

and Columbia counties and the voting inspectors who are going to be required to work. Second, the administrative hurdles for local boards of election could place undue logistical burdens on small, largely rural counties like Columbia and Greene, while generating little additional voter turnout. There has to be justification for an early-voting system in Greene and Columbia counties, and that justification will be seen in a noticeable increase in voter turnout. If a great deal of effort is expended for not much return, it may be time to rethink early voting.

ANOTHER VIEW

21 British Conservatives put country over party. Why can’t 21 Republicans do the same? Among them are two former chancellors of the exchequer, an array of former Cabinet ministers, and many old and familiar stalwarts of Conservative party conferences and Conservative think tanks. One of them, Nicholas Soames, is Winston Churchill’s grandson. Another, Kenneth Clarke, is the longestserving member of the House of Commons. All of them were told that if they voted against the Conservative government Tuesday night — paving the way for the British Parliament to block a damaging, “no-deal” Brexit — they would be expelled from the Conservative party. Not only that, but they also would be prevented from standing as parliamentary candidates at the next election. They would be out of politics. Finished. Yet all of them, all 21 of them, did it anyway. Why? Firstly, they did it because - of course - it’s an idiotic idea for Britain to sever, from one day to the next, all of its relationships with all of its closest and most important neighbors: not just trade but also security arrangements, scientific agreements, legal pacts, diplomatic deals, everything. During the Brexit referendum campaign, nobody ever said this kind of total break was a possibility, nobody voted for it and only a minority of the public say they support it now. The 21 Tory rebels know that the diplomatic and economic consequences of a break like this, without transitional treaties and negotiated arrangements, will last for decades. Just about everybody else knows this, too, including the prime minister, Boris Johnson. But only 21 members of the party were willing to act. Secondly, they did it because a few days earlier, Johnson had announced a suspen-

sion of Parliament that will begin next week. This unprecedented abuse of power was accompanied by a series of open lies, bullying language and threats of a kind that Conservative governments don’t, historically, use toward their members. The 21 Tory rebels aren’t just standing against an ugly legal and economic mess; they also are standing up in favor of constitutional, behavioral and legal norms that they see being broken. They are standing up for a set of parliamentary traditions and customs that they fear will be destroyed forever. Thirdly, they did it because they know - everybody knows - that members of the current Tory leadership have chosen this destructive path not for the sake of the country, not for the well-being of the British, not for the future of their children, but because they are afraid that, having promised Brexit and failed to deliver, they will lose the next election. They are putting party over country. By contrast, the 21 Tory rebels have decided to put country over party, indeed country over career, in defiance of their leaders. These 21 rebels, in other words, stood up against a national leader from their own party in order to prevent him from harming the country, undermining the constitution and damaging democracy. Imagine how different American politics would be if we could find 21 Republican senators to do the same.

Conspiracy theories are a dangerous threat to our democracy Do you believe conspiracy theories? I generally don’t. I realize that high-level coverups have occurred, in business and government and the Catholic Church. But as a rule of thumb, I find most conspiracy theories violate former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski’s axiom, “History is much more the product of chaos than of conspiracy.” (Come to think of it, he would want us to believe that, wouldn’t he?) Despite my skepticism, however, I believe there is a conspiracy afoot today among powerful people in U.S. politics and media to exploit some of the nation’s most vulnerable citizens. Let me back up a bit. What scholars call “conspiratorial ideation” is nothing new in the United States. The historian Richard Hofstadter famously defined “the paranoid style in American politics” in 1964 in an essay and book that covered conspiracy theories going back to the early days of the republic about the supposed powerful machinations of the pope, Jews, the Illuminati, Masons and countless others. Hofstadter argued that conspiracy theories are widely believed, and survey data have since backed him up again and again. For example, polls in recent years have found that a steady 61 percent of Americans — more than half a century after the event - reject the official government account of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963. Asked their assessment of the statement, “Certain U.S. government officials planned the attacks of September 11, 2001, because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East,” according to 2011 survey data, about 20 percent of Americans agree, and another 20 percent are unwilling to say they disagree. Why do people believe in wild conspiracies? Researchers disagree on the answer. Some say these beliefs are a glitch in human evolution: We are wired to be attuned to plots by the powerful to exploit us, but we mostly get “false positives” (conspiracies that don’t exist) in the process. Others believe that our brains physically adapt

to favor beliefs, including those that are false, that bring high emotional arousal. But in all cases, conspiratorial ideation is generally a form of mistaken thinking. Who makes these mistakes most often? For years, there was a widespread sense that conspiracy theories were especially prevalent among conservatives. But that view has been persuasively debunked. What scholars instead find are, in the words of Rutgers University sociologist Ted Goertzel, people who lack interpersonal trust, suffer insecurity about employment and have high levels of “anomia” (a belief that life for the average person is getting worse; that it’s unfair to bring a child into today’s world; and that public officials are not interested in the average person’s welfare). In other words, conspiracy theorists are outsiders — pessimistic about the future, negative about others and feeling victimized by people in power. So here’s what we know: People who believe conspiracy theories are prone to cognitive error and are some of the most vulnerable people in our society. These are the people who America’s leaders — in, say, politics and the media — are ethically most duty-bound to help and protect. At the very least, they should never be exploited. Those who propagate conspiracy theories are not necessarily hapless victims. Sometimes, conspiracies are spread by the powerful themselves. Consider: “This must be the product of a great conspiracy on a scale so immense as to dwarf any previous such venture in the history of man. A conspiracy of infamy so black that, when it is finally exposed, its principals shall be forever deserving of the maledictions of all honest men.” These words came from Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Wis., in 1951, decrying the supposed infiltration by communists of the U.S. government. McCarthy was one of the most powerful men in the United States — not some random, hopeless guy trying to understand why he got the short end of the stick in life. McCarthy framed himself as

a champion of outsiders under threat from a wired-in cabal of left-wing elites. But he was instead a populist conman who shamelessly fomented the public’s legitimate fear of communism to tar political enemies and assert his personal dominance. McCarthy’s use of conspiracy theory was itself a plot by a powerful person to manipulate an error in reasoning by the hopeless and disenfranchised, using false information. Which brings us to today’s political environment and a true conspiracy that Americans face: the propagation of conspiracy theories by elites themselves. Populism has flourished on both left and right over the past decade in the ecosystem of mistrust for institutions, siloed partisan media and political polarization. The development has become ripe for exploitation by powerful figures, from the current president of the United States, who has, in the past, embraced wild theories including the falsification of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate and the supposed role of Sen. Ted Cruz’s father in Kennedy’s assassination, to hosts on MSNBC, who entertain claims that President Donald Trump or someone in his Cabinet is a Russian agent or that the wealthy sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was murdered. The result is a nearly constant stream of conspiratorial ideation as a tool of influence. Why should we care? In a society based on the free flow of ideas, twisting information to create suspicion and rage among the powerless is morally akin to swindling poor people out of their savings. It is also a dangerous threat to a democratic society that requires trust and transparency to function. If there is a true conspiracy afoot today, it is in the current paranoid style of American power, cynically wielded to manipulate the most vulnerable citizens.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fund the EPA To the editor: During one particularly heavy rainstorm this July, the city of Hudson spilled almost two million gallons of sewage into the Hudson River. Spills like these are routine up and down the Hudson, wherever our cities’ older sewer systems channel wastewater and stormwater into the same pipes. When snowmelt or summer thunderstorms overwhelm these systems, they release raw or partially treated sewage straight into our waterways. New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation estimates that more than two billion gallons of sewage entered the Hudson last year. Almost twenty million came from the city of Hudson. Combined sewer overflows are an expensive and escalating challenge for New York State. At the same time that our sewer systems are aging beyond their intended lifespans, climate

change is increasing the stress on them by intensifying our rainstorms. The infrastructure updates necessary to keep sewage out of the Hudson River will cost almost five billion dollars. Slowly but surely, New York is addressing the problem. The state’s budget for next year includes historic levels of funding for water infrastructure. The city of Kingston, whose sewers, like Hudson’s, overflow into the Hudson Estuary, is moving forward with plans to separate its stormwater and wastewater systems with help from a $600,000 grant from the state. While New York is taking steps toward cleaner waters, however, the Trump administration is taking steps that threaten that progress. The administration has proposed a federal budget that decimates funding for the Environmental Protection Agency. Some of the deepest cuts — totaling $874

million—are to two revolving loan programs that support wastewater and drinking water improvements in the 50 states. These loan programs are New York’s biggest source of federal funding for clean water projects. Since their inception, they have contributed more than $6 billion to New York, which the state has leveraged into billions more. If cities like Hudson and Kingston are to complete their much-needed sewer upgrades — if we wish to see less sewage dumped into our rivers, and not more — we cannot allow the state revolving funds to be diminished. New York is relying on Senators Schumer and Gillibrand as well as Congressman Delgado to protect these funds in the upcoming budget negotiations.

Trump Administration rolls back rules requiring more energy-efficient bulbs John Schwartz The New York Times News Service

The Trump administration announced new rules on Wednesday to roll back requirements for energy-saving light bulbs, a move that could contribute to the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. The Energy Department’s filing in the Federal Register will prevent new efficiency standards from going into effect on Jan. 1 under a law passed in 2007. The changes are likely to be challenged in court. “We will explore all options, including litigation, to stop this completely misguided and unlawful action,” said Noah Horowitz, director of the Center for Energy Efficiency Standards at the Natural Resources Defense Council, last week in anticipation of the move. The gradual shift toward more efficient light bulbs is one of the largely unsung success stories in the fight to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. “U.S. household energy consumption is down 6% since 2010, and this is due in part to the increase in the use of energy-efficient lighting, said

Lucas Davis, a professor in the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. LED bulbs show how seemingly modest shifts in technology can have a profound effect on people’s lives — and wallets. Because of their long life and energy efficiency, an LED bulb can save consumers an estimated $50 to $100 over its several-year lifetime, while reducing the number of times a year they need to climb a stepladder or kitchen table to replace burnt-out bulbs. (LED bulbs, once many times more expensive than incandescent bulbs, have dropped in price and can often be found for less than $2 each.) Congress passed legislation to phase out inefficient incandescent and halogen bulbs in 2007, during the administration of President George W. Bush. Although the bill was passed with bipartisan support, some conservative lawmakers turned the transition into a partisan dispute during the Obama administration. However, “This is not a partisan consumer good anymore,” Davis said. “In 2019, so many consumers now have experiences with LEDs — LEDs

FILE— Inside Just Bulbs, a light bulb store, which offers a wide variety of bulbs and light fixtures, in New York, Feb. 6, 2017. The Trump administration announced new rules on Sept. 4, 2019, to roll back requirements for energy-saving light bulbs, a move that could contribute to the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.

are being sold in large volumes in all 50 states.” One part of the new standards would have required the adding of four kinds of incandescent and halogen light bulbs to the energy-efficient group: three-way, the candle-shaped bulbs used in chandeliers; the globe-shaped bulbs found in bathroom lighting; reflector bulbs used in recessed fixtures; and track lighting. A rule that

will be published Thursday in the Federal Register will eliminate the requirement for those four categories of bulbs. The Department of Energy was also supposed to begin a broader upgrade concerning energy efficiency in pearshaped bulbs, scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1, 2020. The department is proposing a new rule that would eliminate that requirement, subject to a

60-day comment period. While some consumers have complained about the light quality and durability of compact fluorescent bulbs, the market has welcomed LED bulbs, which can have a richer light spectrum and can last for many years. But the companies that manufacture light bulbs have pushed against the regulatory shift requiring more efficient ones. The trade association for companies that make light bulbs applauded the Energy Department’s actions. In a statement, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association said that the Obama administration’s effort to expand the law to include the specialty bulbs “misconstrued the statute and DOE could not justify that prior effort.” Noting that LED bulbs are already selling well, the group said the final rule “will not impact the market’s continuing, rapid adoption of energy-saving lighting in the next few years.” Horowitz, the NRDC director, said regulation was necessary. “Energy-wasting incandescents and halogens still make up more than a third of new bulb sales. We need

Hundreds of names in sealed Tropical Storm Fernand and Tropical Epstein materials, judge told Storm Gabrielle form as Hurricane Bob Van Voris and Erik Larson Bloomberg

A lawyer for alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein told a judge that hundreds of names of people associated with the late money manager should be made public in documents that are currently sealed in a defamation lawsuit. Sigrid McCrawly, who has represented victims for five years, said at a hearing Wednesday in New York that only social security numbers, medical information and the names of minors should be kept secret as more documents are unsealed in the case, and that everything else should come to light. “Anybody whose information is in the documents would be notified so they could object,” McCrawley, of the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, said at the hearing. The names could appear in deposition transcripts and other filings in the case, which settled on the eve of trial in 2017. The remarks preview a brewing fight over the privacy of people whose names appear in at least two subsets of documents that U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska will consider unsealing, following an appeals court order that many such filings should be made public. Preska said she’ll consider

the documents in batches in a process that will take weeks or months. Hundreds of pages of documents in the 2015 case were already unsealed by the appeals court on Aug. 9, revealing fresh allegations of abuse by men associated with Epstein. Now others are worried. On Tuesday, a man identified only as “John Doe” urged the judge to keep the names sealed or redacted. Read More: ‘John Doe’ Wants to Keep Documents Sealed in Epstein Suit The dispute stems from a defamation lawsuit filed by one of Epstein’s alleged victims, Virginia Giuffre, against his onetime confidante, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre claimed Maxwell recruited her for Epstein and participated in the sexual abuse, and then defamed her by calling her a liar. On Wednesday, Maxwell’s lawyer, Jeffrey Pagliuca, told the judge that hundreds of names appear in the documents that are still under review, and that the materials also include an address book with about 1,000 names. He said many of the documents should remain sealed because they weren’t entered into evidence before the case settled.

Dorian churns near Florida By Richard Tribou and Tiffini Theisen Orlando Sentinel (TNS)

ORLANDO, Fla. — While Hurricane Dorian made its way closer to Florida, Tropical Storm Fernand formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, and Tropical Storm Gabrielle formed Wednesday morning in the far east Atlantic. For Fernand, the government of Mexico updated its tropical storm warning for the northeast coast of Mexico from Puerto Altamira to the Mouth of the Rio Grande River. As of 8 a.m., Tropical Storm Fernand was about 45 miles southeast of La Pesca, Mexico with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and moving west at 6 mph. Tropical storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles. It’s expected to drop 6 to 12 inches of rain with isolated pockets of 18 inches in Mexico that could cause life-threatening mudslides and flash floods, the NHC said. South Texas and the lower Texas coast is expected to receive 2 to 4 inches of rain with isolated areas of 6

inches. In the Atlantic, Tropical Depression 8 grew to become Tropical Storm Gabrielle overnight. As of 5 a.m., the storm had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and was located 680 miles westnorthwest of the Cape Verde Islands moving northwest at 10 mph.

In the mid-Atlantic, a trough of low pressure located several hundred miles southsoutheast of Bermuda, is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms, the NHC said. The chance of a tropical depression forming from this storm is 50% in the next 48 hours and also 50% in the next five days.

Jason Hartke, president of the Alliance to Save Energy, a nonprofit coalition of business and environmental groups, said “The Energy Department flat out got it wrong today.” Calling the move an “unforced error,” he added, “Wasting energy with inefficient light bulbs isn’t just costly for homes and businesses, it’s terrible for our climate.”

PRAYERS AND CARES

While out and about this weekend, I talked to many older people who want to remember how it was. Their consensus: the young are not learning much, except how to text. They can’t even carry on a conversation. Always with one eye on the phone. So as I think back, the word “parlor” comes to mind. As I look at old pictures and who may be in them, I look at the background to see if I recognize the house. The backgrounds are basically the same: family pictures were taken in the parlor. The parlor was a large, clean room (no heat), used for funerals, weddings, Christmas, family gatherings. It was a room for celebrations. It would usually have a piano or organ, a wool or rag rug made by the wife and mother, lace curtains (also handmade), a couch, maybe a setee, and chairs — not comfy chairs, chairs stuffed with horsehair that prickled when you sat in them, good sturdy chairs, with antimacassers and covers on the arms, all hand crocheted.

Prayers for Nellie Langston and Ted Heisinger, who need healing blessings. Prayers for John Grinnell and David Kaufmann, who both have been in homes for rehab.

AS I REMEMBER IT

All of the tables had handmade doilies to protect them. Sometimes, when the furniture started showing wear, it was covered by slipcovers, or if it was brand new, covered with plastic that stuck to you and caused sucking noises when you got up. When not in use, the room was closed off by doors, quite often French doors, some dark and forbidding, and others with windows that let you see inside, but don’t you dare go in. Once inside, you DID NOT TOUCH anything unless given permission. Do you remember the candy in the candy dish? If you poked at it, it was usually stuck together in one lump and glued to the bottom of the dish. Can you still smell the parlor? It always had a unique scent, maybe musty mixed with beeswax. Do you remember your Grandmother’s parlor? Let me know what memories I stirred up this week. Just as a side bar, when I was talking with my friend John P. about curtains, he brought up washing lace curtains and drying them on a curtain stretcher. How many know what that is? The curtains had to be hung on the stretcher and each hole had to be put on a nail. Heaven forbid you stuck your finger and didn’t know about it. One speck of blood on the curtain, off it came, blood washed out and start all over again. Good thing we have wash and hang now.

Lexington Town Picnic and Picture coming up By Christine Dwon For Columbia-Greene Media

Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to Steve Blader, daughters and families on the passing of Bonnie Blader. She loved her Mountain Top home and community and she was the driving force that accomplished so much for Lexington. Bonnie will be greatly missed. Mary and Steve Palazzolo’s 42nd wedding anniversary was Aug. 27 and they celebrated with a day at the Roosevelt Home and Library in Hyde Park and then dinner at The Bocuse Restaurant in the Culinary Institute of America. They had a lovely time. The Greene Room Players Songbirds, directed by Linda Nicholls, gave a wonderful performance at the Mountain Top Library in Tannersville on Aug. 30. The theme was “Love Songs.” Not only was the singing beautiful, everyone enjoyed watching two love birds, Dede and Ed Thorpe, show their dancing skills during one of the love songs. Dede and Ed received a resounding round of applause, as did the whole performance by the Songbirds. A most enjoyable evening by a very talented local group. Thanks from the Lexington Historical Society for making their bake sale on Aug. 31 at the Lexington Farmers Market such a success. And speaking of the Lexington Historical Society, be sure to come to the Lexington Town Picnic and Community Picture on Sept. 7 under the pavilion at the Lexington Municipal Building sponsored by the LHS.

provided and games for young and the not-so-young. Community Picture will be taken around 1:30 p.m. The Lexington Historical Society will have the 2020 calendars available next month for $10 each. The group hopes to have the 2021 calendar made using pictures from people in the community, so if you have special pictures you’d like to have in the 2021 calendar, let the Historical Society know and they’ll make a copy.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE SERIES: DANIEL McCABE HUDSON — On Thursday, September 5, Basilica Hudson presents an exhibition of new photographic works by Daniel McCabe as part of its Hudson as Muse Basilica Back Gallery Artist in Residence Series. Daniel McCabe’s work meditates on history and aims to contextualize the realities and conditions of contemporary life through the use of still photography and filmmaking. A Hudson Valley native, McCabe attributes the development of his aesthetic to a lifelong connection to the region and its landscape. McCabe will present a body of large scale photographic work inspired by the works of the Hudson River School movement. The photographs will explore the natural beauty of the Hudson River Valley and examine man’s interaction with the environment while paying tribute to the area’s history and culture. The Hudson As Muse Basilica Back Gallery Artist In Residence Series invites artists to explore the location itself as muse, and to create work with the eclectic present and past of this river city as central inspiration.

‘Wedding’ a stupendously sudsy melodrama By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

As the misunderstood and mistreated wives in “Blue Valentine” and “Manchester by the Sea,” Michelle Williams shook up the emotional equilibrium of these movies by mixing a waiflike desperation with sudden eruptions of rage and bitterness. In these movies she was easy to feel sorry for, yet it wasn’t surprising to watch her push back against the men who treated her with such cruelty. She seemed always to be on the verge of lipbiting tears before she surged up and took control. She could barely take it, but she could dish it out. Williams, who has the closecropped blonde hair and wide, searching eyes of a young Mia Farrow, is deftly cast in the stupendously sudsy “After the Wedding,” an American remake of a 2006 Danish movie. Playing a romantically bruised woman who fled New York City to help run an orphanage in Mumbai as a way of burying the pain in her heart, she is reminiscent of the classic heroines of Douglas Sirk melodramas transplanted

Billy Crudup, Abby Quinn and Julian Moore in “After the Wedding”.

vividly to the modern world. Williams’ Isabel, who has vowed never to return to the states, the site of her romantic ruin, nevertheless finds herself going back when faced with only the first of the movie’s many hyperbolic moral dilemmas. She accepts an invitation from Theresa (Julianne Moore), a billionaire media mogul, who wants to donate $2 million to the orphanage. Will Theresa make good on her donation? Will Isabel return to India with “a suitcase full of money?” And will she be back in time for the birthday of an adorable eight-year-old orphan she

has practically adopted? Sirk’s art to selling soap this thick was keeping emotional credibility and preposterous coincidence in precise balance. But here, the direction by Bart Freundlich (who is credited with the script and as a co-producer with Moore, who is his wife), is an unqualified mess. As the movie spirals deeper into contrivance, such as when Isabel realizes that Theresa is married to her former lover Oscar (Billy Crudup), a celebrated sculptor, the plot twists pile up and spill into one another. When the movie tries to be tricky, it

becomes laughable instead. Freundlich’s first feature, “The Myth of Fingerprints,” was a similar family soap-opera but at least it had Roy Scheider to give it an edge. “After the Wedding” goes slack after 20 minutes, but Freundlich milks fully committed performances from his cast. In addition to Williams’ heartsick caregiver, the movie is ripe to bursting with potent turns from Crudup wisely underplaying the quietly suffering husband, Abby Quinn as the newlywed daughter who suspects something is amiss when Isabel turns up and especially Moore as a woman whose vast wealth and power provide temporary refuge from yet another of the movie’s terrible secrets. At once irresistible, silly and shamelessly campy — brace yourself for Isabel’s obscenitylaced rant to Theresa and one of the most eye-popping I-don’twant-to-die scenes ever filmed — “After the Wedding” is an exercise in earnest, blunt-force hokum. Laugh or cry? It’s your choice.

TSL Movies September 5 September 11 n Los Reyes — In Santiago, Chile, Chola and Football are two homeless dogs who aren’t homeless at all. Scrappy, adorable mutts, they live in Los Reyes, the city’s oldest skateboard park, kept company by dozens of teenage boys who are constantly in motion. One dog constantly schleps around a deflated football (or golf ball or empty soda bottle); the other romps alongside him day and night. The voices of the young skaters, set against the noises of the city, form a soundscape: bragging, complaining, joking, sharing the daily experiences of working-class kids. One day, two dog houses miraculously appear in the park – just in time to provide shelter for the coming winter. A touching film about the mysteries and joys of friendship: 2-legged on wheels and 4-legged on the ground. In Spanish with subtitles. 2018. 1h18m. n Sword of Trust — Mel (Marc Maron) is a cantankerous pawnshop owner in Alabama who spends most of his time swindling customers while trying and failing to get his man-child employee Nathaniel (Jon Bass) to do any work. When Cynthia (Jillian Bell) and her wife Mary (Michaela Watkins) try to hawk a Civil War-era sword inherited from Cynthia’s recently deceased grandfather, he tries to get the better of them. The sword, however, comes with a convoluted report from Cynthia’s grandfather claiming the relic to be proof the South actually won the war. It isn’t long before the coveted “prover item” draws the attention of overzealous conspiracy theorists and the two duos have to join forces in order to sell the sword to the highest bidder. 2018. 1h29m. n Cold Case Hammarskjold — In 1961, United Nations secretarygeneral Dag Hammarskjöld’s plane mysteriously crashed, killing Hammarskjöld and most of the crew. With the case still unsolved 50-plus years later, Danish journalist, filmmaker, and provocateur Mads Brügger (The Red Chapel, The Ambassador) leads us down an investigative rabbit hole to unearth the truth. Scores of false starts, dead ends, and elusive interviews later, Brügger and his sidekick sniff out something more monumental than anything they’d initially imagined. In his signature agitprop style, Brügger becomes both filmmaker and subject, challenging the very nature of truth by “performing” the role of truth seeker. In English and French with subtitles. 2019. 2h8m. n What You Gonna Do When the World’s on Fire? — The story of a community of black people in the American South during the summer 2017, when a string of brutal killings of young African American men sent shockwaves throughout the country. An examination of the state of race in America, this documentary is an intimate portrait into the lives of those who struggle for justice, dignity, and survival in a country not on their side. 2018. 2h3m. n A Bread Factory • Part One: For the Sake of Gold — “The Best Movies of 2018” (Richard Brody, The New Yorker). “Top 10 Films of 2018” (Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com). Independent Spirit Award nominee for Best Supporting Female (Tyne Daly) and the John Cassavetes Award. Inspired by and filmed at TSL, from director Patrick Wang (In the Family, The Grief of Others). Told in two films. In part one, after 40 years of running their community arts center, The Bread Factory, Dorothea (Tyne Daly) and Greta (Elizabeth Henry) are suddenly fighting for survival when a celebrity couple – performance artists from China – come to Checkford and build an enormous complex down the street catapulting big changes in their small town. In part two, Dorothea and Greta rehearse the Greek play, Hecuba. But the real theatrics are outside the theater where the town has been invaded by bizarre tourists and mysterious tech start-up workers. There is a new normal in Checkford, if it is even really Checkford any longer. 2018. Part One 2h2m / Part Two 2h. n Jay Myself — A documentary on the monumental move of renowned photographer and artist Jay Maisel who, in February 2015 after 48 years, begrudgingly sold his home: the 35,000 square-foot, 100-year-old landmark building in Manhattan known simply as “The Bank.” Through the intimate lens of filmmaker and Jay’s protégé, noted artist and photographer Stephen Wilkes, the viewer is taken on a remarkable journey through Jay’s life as an artist, mentor, and man – a man grappling with time, life, change, and the end of an era in New York City. 2018. 1h19m. n A Bread Factory • Part Two: Walk With Me a While — “The

Best Movies of 2018” (Richard Brody, The New Yorker). “Top 10 Films of 2018” (Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com). Independent Spirit Award nominee for Best Supporting Female (Tyne Daly) and the John Cassavetes Award. Inspired by and filmed at TSL, from director Patrick Wang (In the Family, The Grief of Others).

In a restaurant, without any apparent reason, he starts insulting Claudio, a renowned lawyer. The community supports the lawyer and the stranger is humiliated and thrown out of the place. Later that night the stranger, who is determined to wreak a terrible vengeance, intercepts Claudio and his wife Susana. The lawyer then takes a path of no return involving death, secrets and silence.

Watch for stopped school buses By Abby and Gabby For Columbia-Greene Media

PRATTSVILLE — It’s that time of year again — watch out for stopped school and STOP when lights are flashing. After all, it is our children who are being protected. Thank you all for supporting our American Legion Virgil E. Deyo Post 1327 annual Tag Day. Proceeds will benefit veterans and their causes. Those Legionnaires doing their duty were Commander Chris Tompkins, Paul Cozzoli, Dave Rikard, Elliott Oakes, Dana Hommel, Elliott Brainard and Bob Gurley. Auxiliary members were President Ginny Gurley, Cathy Brainerd Martino, Linda Cross, Shelly Brainard and MaryJo Oakes. All helped in one way or another. Dave Rikard, as a new member, got his first taste of “still serving.” There will be more to come, Dave. The September meeting of Post 1327 will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 12 at the Prattsville Town Hall. Got to see proud daddy Brian Young with his three children — big sister Bella, Liam and Connor. Every one of the Young children was flashing a big grin. Carol Landers brought some old newspapers

— “The Prattsville News” — over to read through. One was dated July 5, 1940. Abby said, “I was less than one week old when this was published.” Opening to the inside page to Greene County, imagine the surprise to read, “A daughter was born Friday morning, June 28, at Memorial Hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Lee Delmar of Lexington.” Yes, this is Abby’s birth announcement, making an appearance at 12:31 a.m., and had never seen it before nor knew of its existence. A subsequent Prattsville News edition dated in early 1942 had a notice, “Will Cease Publication of News for Duration” of the war. “The News has been a Prattsville institution since 1857, a record of events for 85 years…..it was a part of this community. Your present editor……expects soon to be in the Service.” Thanks for sharing, Carol. And she does have more old papers from yore. Those out of town for the Labor Day weekend were Johannes and Marianne Krauss, Jen Traver and Bob Gurley Jr., Bob and Carrie Joy Hermance. Marianne and Johannes were at Lyme Rock, Connecticut, to a road race.

Jen and Bob were visiting America’s Stonehenge in New Hampshire and points of interest in Rhode Island. Carrie and Bob were attending a long awaited Joy family reunion. Our very best get well wishes go out to Mary O’Hara in Michigan. Mary had a very scary health emergency some weeks ago and is now recovering in rehabilitation. Mary’s sister Ann is providing the TLC at this harrowing time. Ann’s hair salon is closed for now and will reopen in due time. Please understand. Kudos to the American Legion Greenville Post 291.

Taconic Hills football striving for winning season By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

CRARYVILLE — With six returning starters on defense and five on offense, Taconic Hills third-year football coach Mark Anderson feels the pieces are in place for the Titans to have a successful season. Taconic Hills kicks off the regular season on Friday at 7 p.m. with a home game against Class C South rival Coxsackie-Athens. “My goal here, not to be crazy, but I think that we can be in every game this year and that gives us a fighting chance to be successful,” Anderson said. “Our goals, whether it’s team or individual, is to play harder every single snap in practice and in games and to get better. That’s our entire goal. That’s out motto — to get better every single snap.” Headling the returnees for the Titans are two-way starting tackles Ed Smith and Josh Hemmings, both of whom are capable of all-conference honors. Also returning on offense are receiver Zach Colwell, See FOOTBALL B4

CHATHAM – In the big kick off to the 2019 Patroon Conference boys soccer season, the Cairo-Mustangs shut out Chatham, 7-0, on Tuesday. Josh Teator, who returned to the soccer team after a twoyear hiatus, scored two goals for the Mustangs. “They worked very, very hard to be here,” said CairoDurham head coach, Patricia Gibson, “They are the right size, the right age so they can compete at varsity.” Cairo-Durham put up great numbers in the game.

No. 21 Syracuse to tackle Maryland’s improved offense Field Level Media

There’s so much to unbundle about No. 21 Syracuse’s visit to Maryland on Saturday. Dino Babers’ Orange (1-0) opened with a 24-0 win at Liberty last weekend, that Syracuse defense every bit as staunch as advertised. Maryland registered a shutout, too, in the first game for Mike Locksley as full-time head coach at a school where he’s in his third tenure – twice as an assistant. He was elevated to interim head coach when Syracuse grad Randy Edsall was let loose midseason in 2015.

It’s hard to talk about the Terrapins defense, though, when Maryland (1-0) put up 79 points on Howard, racking up 623 yards total offense and scoring in all manner of ways. “We wish we had an offensive outing the way their offense played along with the way their defense played,” Babers said of the Terps. “Our eyes are wide open, and based off of how we played and how they played, I could see how many people could have them (as) favorite.” The Maryland defense held a hapless Howard team to just 68 total yards, the fewest

allowed by any team in Week 1, but Syracuse had a much sterner test on the road at Liberty, the hosts eager for a high-profile win in coach Hugh Freeze’s first game. The Flames confused Orange quarterback Tommy DeVito with soft coverages to prevent big plays. The heralded sophomore wasn’t always patient. He was 17-of-35 passing for 176 yards on the day, and he had two interceptions. Of course there was no tape on Liberty and what they would do defensively. There is tape on what Maryland did, though sorting through all the players the Terrapins got on the field

– 90-some bodies, including three quarterbacks who attempted a pass – will be a chore. Maryland’s new starting quarterback, Virginia Tech transfer Josh Jackson, threw for 245 yards and four touchdowns. He was one of several high-profile transfers who looked like they can make the Terrapins tougher than expected in the demanding Big Ten East. Other transfers making an impact were tight end Tyler Mabry (Buffalo), who caught a touchdown pass – equaling the number of See OFFENSE B4

Federer meets his end in quarterfinal upset David Waldstein The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — On a day when Daniil Medvedev reached an amicable truce with fans at the U.S. Open, the real villain turned out to be Grigor Dimitrov. Dimitrov happily took over the mantle of bad guy by stunning Roger Federer, 3-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, to oust the most successful and arguably the most popular player on the men’s tour. Federer’s surprise defeat means the dream matchup between him and No. 2 Rafael Nadal will not happen. Those two greats have played 41 times in their careers, including nine times in major finals — but never at the U.S. Open. This year they were enticingly on opposite sides of the draw. “Just low, just disappointed it’s over because I did feel like I was actually playing really well after a couple of rocky starts,” a dejected Federer said. He added, “I’m looking forward to family time and all that stuff. So life’s all right.” He had planned to go farther, but instead Dimitrov, who was 0-7 against Federer before this week, will play No. 5 Medvedev on Friday in the first U.S. Open semifinal for both of them. Medvedev beat No. 23 Stan Wawrinka, 7-6 (6), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, in an afternoon match Tuesday and then apologized to the fans for his behavior in two previous matches, drawing some cheers. Still, he was probably expecting to reclaim the role of supervillain in a semifinal against Federer. But Dimitrov had other plans. “I knew what to do,” he said. The strategy, Dimitrov said, was to keep the 38-year-old Federer out on court as long as possible, hoping he would become fatigued or break down. Both apparently happened. Federer complained of a sore upper back and neck area and had to receive a medical timeout after the fourth set. Federer’s discomfort may have explained his staggering number of unforced errors: 61 overall, including 33 off his backhand. He said that the problem had appeared earlier in the day and that he had not felt it in his first

four matches. After the first set Tuesday, Federer never looked comfortable. “I felt it the whole time,” he said. “That’s it. I was able to play with it. My bad not to win.” Federer has won 20 Grand Slams, the men’s record, and his total includes five U.S. Opens, but he has not won the championship at Flushing Meadows since 2008. He has not reached the semifinal stage since 2015, and last year he was ousted by John Millman in the fourth round. This year held more promise, especially since he played well enough in July to come within a few points of winning Wimbledon. And when No. 1 Novak Djokovic was upset by Wawrinka in the fourth round of the U.S. Open, it raised hopes even higher that Federer would be able to go through and possibly meet Nadal in the final here for the first time. Instead, Federer exited without the trophy for the 11th straight year. “I’m happy to get a bit of break now,” he said. “Go back to practice, reassess and attack from there.” In the previous round, Federer dismissed No. 15 David Goffin without much trouble and appeared to be cruising into the second week of the tournament. But he looked like an

Serena rolls Into U.S. Open semifinals Christopher Clarey The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Sunsets have had more suspense than Serena Williams’ 6-1, 6-0 victory over Wang Qiang in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open. But no matter how impervious-to-pressure Williams looked under the lights Tuesday night, the tension at this U.S. Open did not really start until now. Since Williams’ return to the tour in 2018 after the birth of her daughter, Olympia, her problem at the Grand Slam tournaments has not been about finding form. It has been about sealing the deal. She has often hit the high notes in early rounds and then run into a mental block, an opponent on a roll or a combination of the two when she was on the verge of winning her 24th Grand Slam singles title and tying Margaret Court’s record. The latest of several setbacks: this year’s Wimbledon final against Simona Halep. Williams, 37, had overwhelmed Barbora Strycova in the semifinals, 6-1, 6-2, only to turn shaky and be routed, 6-2, 6-2, by Halep, who was in a clean-hitting state of grace. Elina Svitolina, Williams’ opponent in Thursday’s semifinals, is a world-class counterpuncher, as well. She is among

the quickest and best defenders on tour and has navigated and hustled her way through a treacherous patch of the draw to reach her first U.S. Open semifinal less than two months after reaching the same stage at Wimbledon. Seeded No. 5, she has defeated power baseliners like Venus Williams, Dayana Yastremska, Madison Keys and Johanna Konta without dropping a set. “I played some big hitters in this tournament, a lot,” Svitolina said. “I have to just react quickly with my feet and with my shots, as well. Then when I have the opportunity, go for it.” Svitolina went for it effectively in her most recent match against Serena Williams, upsetting her in the round of 16 at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. (Svitolina had lost their previous four encounters.) Rio was hardly Williams’ golden hour: She also lost in the first round of doubles with her sister, Venus. “Just really devastated about that doubles loss, then obviously singles shortly after,” Serena Williams said, before smiling slyly and finding a way out of the memory. “I didn’t play the Olympics in Rio,” she concluded. But Svitolina remembers them well.

entirely different player against Dimitrov, who went into the match ranked No. 78 in the world, largely because he took time off to deal with an injury. Dimitrov, a 28-year-old Bulgarian, was ranked No. 3 as recently as 2017, but then his ranking plummeted, and his record in matches this year before the U.S. Open was only 12-15. “It was that low that I didn’t want to even go there anymore,” Dimitrov said. “It was injury, losing points, ranking. That’s the lowest point for any player. I think the past six or seven months have been pretty rough for me.” There were moments Tuesday when Federer flashed some of the best shots in his arsenal — a jumping forehand winner or a backhand down the line. But too many other times he hit

terrible unforced errors or failed to put away easy winners, allowing Dimitrov to run his way back into points. Most uncharacteristically, Federer, who carved his legend by rising in clutch moments, played poorly in some of the most critical parts of the match. Late in the second set he was down a service break when he broke back against Dimitrov to draw within 4-5 in games. His woes seemed to be fading, if only he could consolidate that break. But he could not, even after going ahead by 30-0 in that game. Dimitrov won the next four points to close out the game and the set, thanks to three unforced errors by Federer. While Dimitrov sailed through most of his service

games, Federer had to fight bitterly to hold his own serve. Late in the fourth set he staved off seven break points in an 8-deuce game, just to keep himself from falling behind by two service breaks. Even though he lost the game, Dimitrov knew he had worn Federer down, perhaps beyond repair. “I was actually smiling going to the changeover,” he said, “because I was like, ‘That game must have hurt him a lot.’” It did, and Federer won only three games the rest of the way. Now Dimitrov’s focus turns to Medvedev, who played through an upper leg injury in his victory over Wawrinka. Medvedev has spent many hours on court this summer, going 19-2 on hardcourts and reaching the finals in Washington, Montreal and the tournament in Mason, Ohio, which he won. (He also played two doubles matches in August, adding to his workload.) For those able to look past the histrionics in his earlier matches, Medvedev is a captivating talent whose wide variety of shots can force players out of their comfort zones. At age 23, on a bad leg, Medvedev overpowered and confused a three-time Grand Slam champion in Wawrinka. “He’s playing a different ball,” Wawrinka said. “He’s really solid from baseline. Playing really flat backhand.” Wawrinka noted that Medvedev had the talent to win the U.S. Open this year but also said he doubted it would happen. “Because he starts to look to be tired,” Wawrinka said. But Medvedev will have an extra day of rest before the semifinals.

Severino says he could be ready by Yankees’ last homestand Kristie Ackert New York Daily News

NEW YORK — Luis Severino believes that he can pitch in the Yankees final homestand. The Yankees injured ace said Tuesday that he expects to make two more rehab starts — at most — before he is ready to pitch in a major league game. “Of course. I would see how I feel after the second one. If I see all my pitches working good, I would think after that, if they want me to throw another one down there, I would do it,” Severino said before Tuesday night’s Yankees game against the Rangers at Yankee Stadium. “But I think after that, if I feel good, I think I would like to pitch in games.” That would be a huge boost for the Yankees’ unsettled rotation heading into the playoffs and it was not the only good news the Yankees got on the pitching front Tuesday. Dellin Betances could be heading out for his first minor

league rehab game this weekend with Severino. Neither has pitched in a game this season after suffering spring training injuries. Severino’s next scheduled start rehab start is Friday, likely with Triple-A Scranton. The RailRiders made a furious lategame comeback against the Mets’ Triple-A squad Tuesday in the International League Wild Card game to earn a spot in the playoffs. Betances, who threw live batting practice at the Stadium Tuesday afternoon, said Friday would likely be his first rehab game as well. With Yankees manager Aaron Boone watching from behind the mound, Betances faced Giancarlo Stanton, Clint Frazier and Tyler Wade in a simulated inning. “I thought he looked really good. It was really exciting today to see him throw the ball the way he did. I thought the command was good and the stuff looked good,” Boone said.

NOAH K. MURRAY/USA TODAY

New York Yankees pitcher Luis Severino in the in the dugout during an August 14 game against the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium.

“I know he’s really encouraged by it. We’ll see how he bounces back tomorrow, if everything goes well he could be out pitching with Sevy maybe this weekend and go from there. Today was a good step for him, no doubt.” Betances came out of the session very confident in his

return to the big leagues soon. He said it was the best he has felt on the mound in his fivemonth rehab journey back from a shoulder impingement in spring training, then a strained lat in June. In fact, he feels ready to get outs. “I could get guys out, yeah,”

Betances said when asked if his stuff was ready. “With what I threw today? Yeah. Except Giancarlo hit one that was really good, then I struck him out. So we’re even.” Betances said that his focus is getting back here and probably continuing to build up as he pitches in major league games. He said making backto-back appearances, usually one of the things relievers do late in spring training, could be something he works on once he is back. “I’ll probably do that here. I think the more I throw, the better (the bounce back) will be. I will probably do that later,” Betances said. “Maybe late September.” Severino, who is also returning from a spring training shoulder injury compounded by a lat strain during rehab, also said that he could continue to build up arm strength as the Yankees play out September and line up for October.

The 25-year-old right-hander said he will do that in the rotation — which took another hit when CC Sabathia went back on the injured list Saturday — or the bullpen. Severino, who signed a four-year, $40 million extension this spring, obviously prefers to start, the role he has had his entire career. “I don’t know. I am not sure. I am guessing I am going to start, because I am throwing the next start I am throwing 55 pitches or three or more innings. After that, it will be 65,” Severino said of being stretched out. “We will see what the role is going to be. But, I just want to help my team. If they need me in the bullpen or they need me to start, I am here, I just want to help.” The return of Severino and Betances would be a big help as the Yankees try to line up their rotation and bullpen for the playoffs.

Soccer From B1

Kasey Moore was strong in goal for the Bluehawks, stopping 22 shots. Maple Hill had 16 shots on goal to Hudson’s seven.

COLONIAL Ichabod Crane 4, La Salle 0 VALATIE — In the Colonial Council boys soccer season opener, Ichabod Crane blanked LA Salle, 4-0.. A very tight start by both teams saw each look to impose their styles on the game while not making a mistake that could turn the game. The Cadets were dangerous from set pieces in the first half with E. Michael-Pink being the danger man. His physical play and skill would help LaSalle create some nice build up but each play was repelled by the Riders defense. Toward the end of the first half the Riders began to connect some passes which led to 1v1s with LaSalle keeper Anthony Rotello. Rotello would be up for the task on each occasion to keep the score 0-0 at the half. The second half would see the Riders pick up the tempo and create some very good scoring opportunities. Edgar Gomez would receive a terrific throw-in from Janoy Harrison and make no mistake with his effort to put the Rider in front,

1-0. As the second half went on, the Riders seemed to get stronger. With 18 minutes remaining, Logan Groat would pick the ball up and get around three defenders and beat the keeper with a low drive. With five minutes remaining, Edgar Gomez would get around a defender only to be taken down in the penalty area. Gomez would convert the penalty kick for the brace. With 10 seconds left, “Twinkle Toes” Gomez would get his hat trick after fancy footwork to place a low driven shot just inside the near post of the Lasalle goal. For the game, the stout Rider defensive effort of Janoy Harrison, Justin Meza, Joe Dolan, Chase Martino, Brett Richardson, Quinn Murphy, Aidan Swere, and Jack Goldman kept the clean sheet. For LaSalle, keeper A. Rotello prevented many sure goals making 22 stops on the night.

GIRLS PATROON Greenville 10, Coxsackie-Athens 0 GREENVILLE — Greenville dominated Coxsackie-Athens, 10-0, in their Patroon Conference girls soccer season opener. Molly Quinn led the Spartans with three goals and two assists. Morgan Whitbeck had three goals in the game, Kaitlyn Silk had two, Meghan Misuraca had one goal and one

assist and Belle Trostle had two assists. Greenville had 25 shots on the goal. Emma Criswell was on the goal for Greenville, she had zero saves for the day. Coxsackie-Athens goalies had a busy day. Sage Murphy made five saves against 20 shots on goal. Schuler Caringi had one save on five shots in the goal as well. Chatham 6, Cairo-Durham 1 CAIRO — Carolina Paoluccie made three goals and had one assist to spark Chatham to a 6-1 victory over CairoDurham in Tuesday’s Patroon Conference girls soccer match. Lexi Mickle and Gabby Fisher both had one goal and one assist for Chatham. Maria Casrtellanos contributed one goal. Erika Jackson and Hannah Taylor both gave one assist. Chatham had three goalies in the game. Adeline Potter made three saves, Hannah Taylor and Hayley Pulver both made two saves. Cairo Durham’s Jennifer Cuti had the one goal for the Mustangs and Xxaria Makely contributed the one assist. Amber Powell was the Mustangs’ keeper and had eleven saves on the day. Maple Hill 11, Hudson 0 HUDSON — Maple Hill jumped out to an 8-0 lead by halftime and went on to defeat Hudson, 11-0, in Tuesday’s

Patroon Conference girls soccer action. Paige Padilla and Natalie Deso each had two goals for the Wildcats. Alayna Fletcher and Kylie Roloson both had a goal and an assist and Isabella Seeberger, Gianna Morse, Sydney Tuttle and Emma Pearsall all scored one goal. One goal for Maple Hill was an own goal for Hudson. Hannah Brewer didn’t have to make a save for Maple Hill. Hudson keeper Nissa Cora stopped 10 shots.

COLONIAL Holy Names 3, Ichabod Crane 1 ALBANY — The Ichabod Crane Girls varsity soccer team dropped their season opener to defending section 2 champion Holy Names 3-1 in a hard fought Colonial Council contest. The Riders went to half down 2-0 but had a couple of chances to get on the board. They did just that early in the secondnd when Abby Dolge drove home a left footed shot off an assist from Camryn Hebert. With 12 minutes left, the Riders were forced to play down a player due to some injuries and they ultimately conceded a third goal for the final result. Cali Ringwood recorded 15 saves on the day and the entire team worked tirelessly in a valiant effort against a strong Holy Names side.

Catskill 6, Greenville 6 GREENVILLE — Catskill defeated Greenville in a Patroon Conference golf

match that came down to overall strokes. The score was 6-6, but the Cats earned the win with 365 strokes to Greenville’s 370. Greenville’s Trey Smith had the low score of the day with a 40.

lineman Mike Funk and quarterback Marus Rosien. Along with Smith and Hemmings, returning defensive starters Colwell at defensive back and Charlie Beck, Aidan Flaum and Shane Kraus at linebacker. Anderson has a 26-player roster, but has just 12 upperclassmen — 8 seniors and 4 juniors. “My team is very young, as it seems to be every year,” Anderson said. “I’m trying to work the young guys in and I feel that none of the young guys are afraid of what they’re going to face.” Because there is so much youth on the roster, Anderson has reduceded his playbook somewhat. “What we’re trying to do is simplify the offense as much as possible,” Anderson said. “They’re young guys and I’m trying to have some core plays, have them get them down and then we can build on it as the season goes on. Right now, though, we’re just staying base stuff and just looking forward to having some continuity in the offense and everybody know their assignments and I think we can do OK.” Anderson is counting on the six returnees on defense to provide leadership. “Defensively, we have six returning starters,” Anderson said. “They know my system and I feel confident that the new guys filling in should be OK. I think we should be fine, but it’s just quality backups that poses some problems at certain positions.” With Rensselaer dropping football and Chatham moving to Class D, Anderson feels the Class C South Division is up for grabs “I’m excited because our division seems to be pretty wide open, Anderson said. “It’s a shame Rensselaer had to back out, but I feel it’s kind of wide open this year for the first time with Chatham getting out and going down to Class D. It kind of opens it up for everybody. “Voorheesville typically always has a good team, they’re going to be tough. (Pete) Porcelli is coming back and coaching at Watervliet and

they’ll have the double wing, I’m sure, and he’s always been very successfuls, so I would look for that program to make a turnaround.

The Titans scrimmaged against Coxsackie-Athens, Delaware academy, Red Hook and Rondout over the weekend and will get to meet up

with C-A again in Week 1. “I’m excited with this group. They have great attitudes, they don’t have negativity and we’re looking forward to

our game against CoxsackieAthens on Friday. That will be the rubber match between me and coach (Paddy) Bailey. He got me at my place and I got

Shaq Smith (Clemson) and Keandre Jones (Ohio State) led a swarming unit. “You never know who you are until you play a game,” Locksley said. “You can scrimmage all day long, but your defense knows your weaknesses. The first game you

can find out where you need to make adjustments. For us, the biggest thing from game one to game two offensively is our tempo. On defense, the biggest thing was communication.” Undoubtedly, the Maryland offense will have a

tougher time with the Orange, who had eight sacks and 14 tackles behind the line of scrimmage at Liberty, dousing the Flames’ rushing attack to the tune of minus-four yards. Senior defensive ends Kendall Coleman and Alton Robinson and tackles Josh Black and KJ

Ruff will provide the first big test for a largely unproven Maryland offensive line. “The thing that was really exciting was that lot of those eight sacks weren’t even pressures,” said Babers after Syracuse’s first shutout win since 2015.

The Orange holds a 19-15-2 lead in the all-time series with Maryland, but they haven’t met since 2014, when Syracuse prevailed 34-20. Ironically, that’s the year Maryland left the ACC for the Big Ten, as Syracuse came into the league.

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 restriction, 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:

Please Recycle

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.

Team USA needs to solve a puzzle without the right pieces Kristian Winfield New York Daily News

Team USA came away with an overtime win over Turkey in their FIBA World Cup match-up on Tuesday, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like the team that has dominated international play much of this decade. Instead, the United States looked like a team trying to figure themselves out on the fly, a roster full of replacements for the superstars who backed out. Team USA needs to get itself on track. The games will only be tougher from here. The Americans, after all, blew a 12-point second-quarter lead and found themselves down two with no time left in regulation. They would have lost in the fourth quarter had referees not awarded Jayson Tatum three free throws for getting fouled on a jump shot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a call NBA referees likely would have deemed an offensive foul for Tatum kicking his feet out into the closing defender. Team USA should have lost in

overtime, too, but Turkey went cold from the foul line. While Kemba Walker began heating up in the extra period, Turkey missed four free throws on the same possession, keeping Team USA in the game. It was Khris Middleton who was able to knock down his two free throws with two seconds left, to give the U.S. a 93-92 lead they would never surrender. The Turkish national team has exactly three players currently in the NBA: Ersan Ilyasova, who has been a gritty stretch four for over a decade; Cedi Osman, who started 75 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers in his second season and averaged 13 points and five rebounds; Furkan Korkmaz, a role player on the Philadelphia 76ers. Team USA, of course, is comprised of all current NBA players, including two 2019 All-Stars (Walker and Middleton), and several players projected to blossom into stars over the next few years. It shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even be close. The U.S. has the edge in the talent

department, at least on paper. Yet they nearly blew a game against a Turkish national team that has never defeated the U.S. in international competition. That is the state of Team USA. Where they boast speed and athleticism, opponents compensate with size and experience. They have no real power forwards on the roster. P.J. Tucker was supposed to be the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saving grace, then he backed out after an ankle injury. The attempt at an answer has been starting Harrison Barnes at the four, with Middleton off the bench in that slot, too. Team USA has also been attempting to use Marcus Smart as a small-ball four, but where he gushes with heart, Smart lacks in size. Team USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest weakness is the strength of many of their opponents. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a puzzle theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to solve if they hope to advance and qualify for the 2020 Olympics. Head coach Gregg Popovich is a basketball genius, and so are assistants Steve Kerr and Lloyd Pierce, but

international play is known for Xâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, too. Turkey ran a 3-2 zone that gave Team USA issues, then watched Ilyasova, Osman, Scottie Wilbekin and Melih Mahmutoglu spray from 3. A simple pin-down screen freed Osman for a critical 3-pointer in the fourth quarter. The U.S. made more 3s than Turkey but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t defend the perimeter, either. Their weaknesses were on display for a pool of opponents each angling for their chance to take the reigning champs out of the equation. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all bad. The U.S. pulled through for the win, after all. Tatum showed another step in his development, finding Myles Turner twice for dump-off finishes on dribble-drives. Walker looked like every bit the leader the Celtics will need him to be in the coming season. Team USA, though, will need him to shoot better than 5 of 14 for 14 points. The official box score says Turner only finished with one block, but the eye test counted at least two. And Team USA won despite

THE PUBLIC NEEDS THE TRUTH; NOT SOCIAL MEDIA HEADLINES & FAKE NEWS.

shooting just 27 of 77 from the field as a unit. The law of averages says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll catch fire at some point during the World Cup, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to. Next up for Team USA is Japan, which already lost to Turkey by 19 and to Czech Republic by seven. The U.S. already beat Czech Republic by 21. Japan should be a breeze. The second round wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as forgiving, and teams will be taking note of vulnerability in the red, white and blue armor. Team USA projects to play one of Greece or New Zealand in the next round, and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford another 35% shooting outing if they plan on moving on. This team isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A team, but they have enough talent to outplay their opponents. Talent alone, though, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t everything. Team USA is learning that on the fly.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

New job triggers memories of violent sexual assault A couple of years ago, I was working as a certified nursing assistant in a nursing home. One day, I decided to stay beyond my usual evening shift into the night shift, as I had a few times before. While working the night shift, I was violently sexually assaulted by a fellow CNA. The DEAR ABBY incident caused me to be so traumatized that I quit that job within the next few days. Although I reported the co-worker to my boss, they did next to nothing about it. I also reported him to the police, but as far as I know, nothing has been done. I moved on to doing in-home care and then to an assisted living facility. I have recently taken a higher-paying CNA position in another nursing home. This nursing home has so many similarities to the former one that I find myself having anxiety attacks, flashbacks and the feeling of constantly having to watch my back. I’m extremely uncomfortable here and constantly feel afraid to go to work. My husband has a hard time understanding the effects of such a traumatizing event, so I have a difficult time getting sympathy from him. I really want to quit this job. I’m under so much mental and emotional stress that I feel like it’s ruining me. At the same time, we need the money, and I wonder if I should just push through and stick with it. If I quit, I’m afraid my husband won’t fully understand why I couldn’t just stay at the job, and it may cause conflict as well as financial stress. Should I quit and find a place that’s less of a trigger or stick it out? Worn Down In Washington

JEANNE PHILLIPS

You should have received counseling after

your assault to help you get past these triggers, which even if you quit this job may continue to occur in other environments. Before making this decision, please consult a licensed therapist who specializes in treating patients who suffer from PTSD. Although my impulse is to advise you to quit “stat,” because of your husband’s inability to understand what you have gone through, a mental health professional may be able to help HIM understand why you may need to work in in-home care or an assisted living facility rather than for this employer. After 47 years of friendship, my friend ghosted me. This had never happened before, so I was left feeling very confused and sad. A year later, I accidentally dialed her number, and she answered. We talked as if no time had passed. She told me I had hurt her feelings. It wasn’t intentional, and I apologized. Some time later, she told me she’d call me back, but she didn’t. I clearly recall our last conversation, and I didn’t say anything that would’ve hurt her. It has been two years, and I haven’t attempted to contact her since. Should I reach out to her again or consider this friendship over? Hurting, Too, In Dallas

DR. KEITH ROACH

Periodically I get letters referencing a condition I know absolutely nothing about, and this is one of those. Fortunately, I have the time to do a lot of reading, and I talked to several people with the condition. Here is what I found. Necrobiosis lipoidica is a rare skin disorder, usually but not always associated with diabetes. It occurs mostly in young adults (the average is 25 years old when associated with diabetes, 46 years if not), and is more common in women. It may also be associated with thyroid disorders and celiac disease. The cause is unknown. The diagnosis is made by skin biopsy. The appearance is usually of a large, variably colored and elevated patch of skin, most commonly on the shins, as your girlfriend’s is, but it can spread to other parts of the body, especially skin that has been scraped or damaged. Because necrobiosis lipoidica can occasionally transform to skin cancer, it needs careful surveillance.

This friendship has run its course, for whatever reason. However, abrupt changes in personality and behavior can be a symptom of serious illness in older people. In light of the fact that you have known this woman for nearly 50 years, and you still care about her, you might want to check with one of her relatives to be sure she’s all right.

No cure, just treatment for girlfriend’s rare skin disorder My girlfriend has necrobiosis lipoidica. She suffers from this on her shins, as did her mother. She is not diabetic. We cannot find good information on how to rid her of this. The information we find is not about cures, but treatments that mask the symptom, such as steroids. We cannot even find a doctor that specifiTO YOUR cally treats this condition. Can GOOD HEALTH you help?

There is no cure for necrobiosis lipoidica. However, there are treatments that can reduce the inflammation. Steroids, either topical or injected, are the usual first choice. Topical steroids are more effective if they are given as ointment and covered with an air- and water-tight dressing. If topical steroids are not as effective, there are many other therapies that have been tried, including: the medication tacrolimus, which decreases the immune response; ultraviolet light A; antimalarial drugs (also used for autoimmune diseases); and others. The disease normally progresses slowly, then stabilizes, but it can spontaneously resolve in some people. Necrobiosis lipoidica may also ulcerate, at which point a wound care specialist may be of tremendous value. It may not be easy to find an expert dermatologist for this condition. I would start with a support group, as you can get expertise from others who have been living with this condition. I found one large group on Facebook. I read some tips on makeup and temporary tattoos for cosmetic improvement. I found two clinical trials recruiting subjects, one in Boston and one in Pennsylvania. You can find clinical trial information at clinicaltrials.gov. More good information is available at https:// tinyurl.com/NLskin.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are not always one of the most sociable individuals born under a sign known for sociability. You are certainly affable and quite friendly when you need to be, but you are sometimes simply so shy that you behave in a manner that is rather aloof and, to some, quite off-putting. The balance between the private you and the public you is something you must always work on — at work and at play. Only when you are resting can you simply be who you are in the moment without attracting any critical attention. On at least one occasion — and a significant one it will surely be — you are likely to step out of your rather limited comfort zone and stake your claim to “greatness,” or whatever that overused term may mean to you. Also born on this date are: Freddie Mercury, singer; Michael Keaton, actor; Rose McGowan, actress; Raquel Welch, actress; Bob Newhart, actor and comedian; Cathy Guisewite, cartoonist. To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You may enjoy a rather relaxing day, but there are certain events that threaten to upset you — and they might, if you let them. Stay aloof! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Working from a distance can provide you with the solace you need to get certain things done, but other things require a more convenient location. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Someone is eager to know if something that has occurred was merely coincidence or the result of a concerted effort. You know what is true.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You may be responsible for much that happens today, but errors are not likely to be your fault. Don’t lay blame; just fix the mistakes! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — What you remember today may not be all that helpful to someone who’s trying to determine what really happened recently — at first. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You’re facing long odds at this time. Don’t squabble with someone who is really talking about something very different. Make a plan. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You are in need of a lift, and only one certain someone is likely to give it to you. You must be willing to share some private info, however. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Despite the adage, honesty may not be the best policy — at least as the day begins. Timing is everything; don’t “confess” until you’re ready. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You are eager to make a change, but you’re not sure that others will agree to what you have in mind. You may soon have to go it alone. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Your ability to explain a complex issue in simple, straightforward terms will serve you well today. Others want to hear what you have to say! CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may be tempted to do something you’ve promised never to do. Study current trends; it may be your promise no longer applies. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can get what you want today, but you may have to go through unusual channels. Someone takes you by surprise by revealing a secret.
