fter a meeting held by Gov. Wanda Vázquez Garced on Thursday with both the medical and economic task forces at La Fortaleza to discuss recommendations for the next executive order to reduce coronavirus infections in Puerto Rico, Health Secretary Lorenzo González Feliciano said the order might come with “more restrictive measures” to fight the virus that causes COVID-19.

Flanked by Economic Development and Commerce (DDEC by its Spanish acronym) Secretary Manuel Laboy, González Feliciano said topics such as a longer duration for the order and establishing stricter rules on enclosed spaces were discussed.

“Some of the things that were discussed were that the next executive order should have a 21-day duration; we are asking for more time to, scientifically, see the impact from the determinations we take on. Another topic was enclosed areas, and at what point does the lack of collective discipline from both businesses and individuals lead to more positive [COVID-19] cases in Puerto Rico,” González Feliciano said. “The next executive order will be more restrictive. One of the things that we mentioned was that it would be more restrictive for us regulators because we are tasked with guaranteeing that enforcement agencies will work to keep the order in force.”

The Health secretary said the department will be redoubling educational efforts to inform both citizens and the government about the coronavirus pandemic, as a demand from other sectors has been to return to an emphasis on raising awareness.

Laboy noted that in terms of education, which he later termed “enforcement efforts,” it was further discussed that there’s more to be done not only with citizens, but also with the government and the private sector to bring about better compliance with both the current and future executive orders.

“On the topic of enforcement, it has been vastly discussed within this meeting; we must make a greater effort, not only with citizens, but also with the government and the private sector, so that the executive order is implemented. The enforcement -- that people must wear face masks and must follow measures established by such protocols -- we will redouble efforts to educate on that,” Laboy said. “If this is not addressed, the economic sector will be affected. From March to June, 80,000 jobs were lost, according to statistics from the federal government.

We are at the verge of losing from 20 to 30 percent of small and midsize businesses. The economic situation is serious; the tourism industry is greatly affected, retail sales and services are greatly affected. Therefore, we must find a way to reduce this contagion and address enforcement issues because, if not, we are going to keep losing jobs

and our economy will be harmed even more.”

Meanwhile, the DDEC secretary said the economic sector is in discussions with the public health sector as current circumstances are more challenging for finding a viable solution to minimize the economic impact if another lockdown goes into effect.

“Something that I pointed out at today’s [Thursday’s] meeting was that the circumstances that Puerto Rico had in March and April are not the same as in August; at that time, what was done was the right thing, and our economy, although it was hit hard, could withstand the hit differently than today,” Laboy said. “It’s something we are trying to put into context so the final recommendations that come out achieve that balance in addressing the pandemic, which is truly troubling, and the cases and numbers from the Department of Health are highly worrisome. And how can we manage while minimizing the economic hit? That’s what we are trying to do.”

As for concerns with unemployment and having enough funds to support citizens who have lost their jobs due to COVID-19, Laboy said he has been very vocal that “neither federal nor state funds are sufficient currency to fix an economy.”

“They are designed to help and mitigate, but under no circumstance can the money that is available prevent a collapse,” he said.

Physicians & Surgeons president: ‘We must do things differently’ Puerto Rico Physicians & Surgeons Association (CMCPR by its Spanish initials) President Víctor Ramos told the Star that the government must deal differently with the coronavirus pandemic and citizens should comply with safety measures as there has been an average of 400 positive cases daily and a peak in deaths due to COVID-19.

“We have to do things differently because what’s being done now is not working,” Ramos said. “The statistics had a dramatic increase. We have seen around 400 new cases per day and a peak of casualties at nine, 10, 11 deaths a day. The expectations since the last executive order were that if things got worse, we would have around 6,000 positive cases diagnosed with a molecular test; as of yesterday [Wednesday], there were more than 10,000 cases, which is worse than expected. If we don’t do anything, we could have 30,000 COVID-19 cases by September 1.”

Regarding the deaths of critical care specialist Raúl Rubio and family physician Abelardo Vargas, Ramos mourned them and cautioned that more health professionals would lose their lives in the battle against COVID-19 if cases keep rising.

“As of now, 66 physicians have been infected [with COVID-19], when there were only 31 cases on July 1,” he said. “The last two deaths have been deeply sad. It’s a part of the pandemic. We can become infected like the rest of the population with the increase in cases.”

Possibility of delaying November election raised

By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

D

ebate has erupted over whether the Nov. 3 general elections should be delayed by a vote of the Legislative Assembly, given the possibility of a repeat of last Sunday’s primary elections fiasco.

After thousands of voters were left waiting to vote in the primaries last Sunday, and the Puerto Rico Supreme Court determined that the event should continue this Sunday, uncertainty has arisen as to whether the same thing could happen in the general elections.

The general elections must take place on Tuesday, Nov. 3. That is in just 82 days.

Article 6, Section 4 of the Puerto Rico Constitution establishes the following regarding elections: “General elections will be held every four years on the day of November determined by the Legislative Assembly. In said elections, the Governor, the members of the Legislative Assembly and the other officials whose election on that date is provided for by law shall be elected. Any person who has reached eighteen years

of age shall be a voter, and meets the other requirements determined by law. No one will be deprived of the right to vote for not knowing how to read or write or for not owning property. Everything concerning the electoral process and voter registration, as well as that relating to political parties and candidacies, shall be provided by law;” In a radio interview, Gerardo Cruz, a former electoral commissioner for the Popular Democratic Party, said “the State Elections Commission has the responsibility, regardless of what the Law says, to see what happened [in last Sunday’s primaries] is not repeated and to see if it has to go to the Legislative Assembly to request a [new and more realistic] time for the general elections.”

Cruz said in the radio interview that it cannot be ruled out that the Legislature is forced to change the date of the general elections, after what has happened in the primary process.

Popular Democratic Party President Aníbal José Torres said in another radio interview that what the situation calls for is that “the decisions that have to be made be made and that the right to vote be guaranteed.”

Mayors Association sues electoral comptroller over ban of candidates’ social media platforms

By THE STAR STAFF

T

he Mayors Association, which groups Popular Democratic Party mayors, sued the Office of the Electoral Comptroller (OEC) on Thursday in U.S. District Court to challenge a regulation that bans candidates from using social media to promote their candidacies or to support other candidates.

The restriction requires candidates to separate their web pages from their social media accounts.

“This internal memo, which is now set to become effective on August 17, 2020, broadens the definition of what is considered official electronic media to web/ social media pages, the content of which is provided by a ‘principal officer,’ regardless of whether or not the page is maintained with public funds,” the document filed the Mayors Association says. “As defendant would have it, such pages may not -- under penalty of stiff fines -- refer to partisan political matters or otherwise promote the candidate’s achievements. In other words, defendant seeks to meddle in what candidates to elective public office place in their personal electronic media.”

The association says the electoral comptroller’s ruling violates free speech rights at a time when politicians are restricted from holding political rallies and other activities because of the global coronavirus pandemic.

The plaintiffs asked federal judge Gustavo Gelpí to issue temporary and permanent injunction orders banning the OEC from enforcing the new regulation.

Gelpí ordered the electoral comptroller to show cause on or before 5 p.m. today as to the reason why the court should not prohibit the regulation from entering into force.

The new regulation establishes that any main government official who aspires to an elective position in both

political primaries and general elections, must separate their political and social media accounts related to their campaign.

The legal recourse, also filed by Villalba Mayor Luis Hernández Ortiz, alleges that the new OEC regulation constitutes an “unprecedented” excess use of its powers.

“The law is clear with regard to plaintiffs being entitled to express their political views and to advocate for their election/the defeat of their opponents; [that] is a right that extends to their electronic media pages,” the document reads. “Any restriction on the content of plaintiffs’ personal social media pages is deemed unconstitutional unless the

government is able to show that there are compelling state interests and that the restriction is the narrowest possible.”

The electoral comptroller, meanwhile, said in a written statement that the internal memo was issued based on the provisions of Law 222-2011 to ensure compliance with the electoral ban and the constitutional provisions that prohibit the use of public funds for private purposes, including partisan political campaigning.

“We will be presenting to the court our proposals to protect the proper use of public funds,” the letter from the OEC reads. “These are the only statements that we will make on this matter.”

Unsecured Creditors Committee goes to court to have PREPA-LUMA deal amended

By THE STAR STAFF

T

he Unsecured Creditors Committee (UCC) wants the U.S. District Court to amend the contract that the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) signed with LUMA Energy recently for the management of the utility’s transmission and distribution (T&D) system because it gives the private consortium too much power over decisions related to the power utility’s debt restructuring.

The UCC, which represents all Title III unsecured creditors except those of the Public Buildings Authority and the Puerto Rico Sales and Use Tax Corp., made its remarks in a court document filed earlier this week in which it opposed PREPA’s petition to give priority over other debt payments to the fees the utility must pay to LUMA Energy.

A supplemental agreement that regulates the transition period before the private consortium takes full control of the utility’s T&D establishes as a condition of officially starting its service, that the court should have confirmed a restructuring support agreement that is reasonably acceptable to LUMA Energy.

The “agreement itself will terminate if the service commencement date has not occurred within 18 months of the Supplemental Agreement Effective Date,” the UCC said.

“Taken together, these provisions grant LUMA Energy potential control over PREPA’s Title III case: not

only must PREPA confirm a plan within a certain date or risk losing the entire T&D contract, but PREPA also has agreed to grant LUMA Energy what is essentially a ‘reasonable’ veto right over any such plan,” the UCC filing said. “Even more troubling, the supplemental agreement sets no parameters for determining whether LUMA Energy’s dissatisfaction with any proposed plan of adjustment is ‘reasonable’ or not. The supplemental agreement thus creates a scenario whereby LUMA Energy can throw PREPA’s transformation process into turmoil for potentially any reason.”

While the supplemental agreement is not before the court, the UCC said the court should not turn a blind

eye to its provisions.

The committee noted that certain front-end transition obligations such as a $60 million fixed fee payable in full even if no front-end transition services are ever provided do not qualify for priority status under the bankruptcy code. The UCC also said the $115 million in termination fees contained in the contract should be eliminated because it allows LUMA Energy to cancel the contract and leave with a lot of money.

Other creditors, such as Cobra Energy and the utility’s fuel line lenders have also come out against the contract, saying LUMA Energy should not be paid ahead of unsecured creditors.

Food market wants to provide fresh produce in urban areas during pandemic

By PEDRO CORREA HENRY Twitter: @PCorreaHenry Special to The Star

N

on-profit organization World Central Kitchen (WCK) has created the Santurce Food Market (SFM), an initiative that will start on Aug. 22 at the Miramar Food Truck Park, providing an outlet for local farmers, fishers, artisans and other agricultural entrepreneurs from the Plow to Plate program to sell their products in urban areas amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Plow to Plate Manager Crystal Díaz said the market, which will be open every fourth Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m, has the purpose of showcasing products from members of the program to consumers and developing a safe networking space to help their small and midsize agricultural enterprises grow and become sustainable.

Likewise, Díaz said that SFM, which was supposed to begin in April, is an extension of Plow to Plate’s longterm mission: to raise awareness of the need to increase access to fresh and nutritious produce in urban areas and promote food security in Puerto Rico.

“As Plow to Plate came to fruition after World Central Kitchen, which provided food after Hurricane Maria, and as things calmed down, we asked ourselves how we can support Puerto Rico in the long term,” Díaz said. “After an agricultural assessment, one of the results was that food importation issues were not providing food safety

to the island. From this result, Plow to Plate was born, which awards subsidies of $5,000 to $20,000 to small and midsize producers.”

Díaz added that the program “also provides capacity building workshops and voluntary programs [to members] to get their enterprises to a higher level.”

As Plow to Plate has established and sustained itself for two and a half years due to grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), Díaz and her Plow to Plate colleagues saw an opportunity

to run a new farmer’s market to keep promoting locally sourced products from the program’s “subsidiaries.” They held conversations with a longtime collaborator, Miramar Food Truck Plaza, to hold their own bazaar.

“Miramar Food Truck Plaza has been a huge partner for our organization since Hurricane Maria, so we thought it was the right time to collaborate and, with Miramar having no place to sell fresh produce, it was the moment to coordinate between our producers and the space to present their products,” Díaz said.

Díaz added that in September, Plow to Place is making a call for farmers with less than 30 acres of produce, fishers, added-value service providers, non-profit organizations and associations involved in agricultural business and others who need a push to bring their projects to another level, to submit their projects in order to have them subsidized.

“It’s very competitive, as on our last call in March, we got more than 250 applications; usually, with our available funds, we can subsidize 8 percent of the projects,” Díaz said. “For this year, the U.S.Virgin Islands and the Bahamas can apply to the program once we open the application.”

“More than the money that the winning projects might receive, you become a part of the Plow to Plate family, which brings plenty of benefits,” she said.

Díaz added that anyone seeking more information can visit wck.org/plow-to-plate or follow WCK on its Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/wckplowtoplate.

Education Dept. recruiting psychologists, nurses

By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

T

he Puerto Rico Department of Education (DE) onThursday began the process of hiring 857 psychologists and 850 school nurses for the 2020-2021 school year, a project that is part of the health and safety measures for the public system’s schools and school communities.

“In such an unusual school year, it is important that we have the best resources to assist our students,” Gov. Wanda Vázquez Garced said in a written statement. “Socio-emotional support is a key element during this situation.”

Education Secretary Eligio Hernández Pérez noted that for the hiring of temporary nurses, the DE assigned $28 million, of which 50 percent comes from the federal CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security) Act, while the the other 50 percent are commonwealth funds approved by the Financial Oversight and Management Board.

Meanwhile, an allocation of $50 million in commonwealth funds was earmarked for the hiring of psychology professionals.

“We have seen the importance of the surveillance system for symptoms associated with COVID-19 as one of the best strategies to stop its spread,” Hernández Pérez said. “It is these professionals who will help us in managing the pandemic and in supporting emotional health in our educational system.”

Applicants for nursing positions, whose monthly salary will be $2,560, must meet a series of requirements, among them being possession of a valid license to practice nursing

Education Secretary Eligio Hernández on the island. The nurses will offer auxiliary medical services to students in public schools, according to the call for hiring.

In the case of school psychologists, the base salary will be $4,490 per month and applicants must hold a valid license to practice psychology, as well as registration and current recertification as a health professional, among other requirements.

These professionals must take an evaluation in which a score will be awarded for academic preparation, courses or training, and for work experience directly related to the functions of the position.

The call for nurses opened Thursday and continues until Monday, while the call for psychologists also opened from Thursday continues until Wednesday, Aug. 26 to comply with

the 10 regulatory days required by the island government’s Office of Administration and Transformation of Human Resources.

Both calls were already published on the DE’s official communications platform and will also be published on the agency’s social media networks (@educacionpr). Candidates who meet the requirements should bring the completed and printed job applications along with the corresponding documents to the following centers from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Biden and Harris’ incident-free, audience-free debut

By MATT FLEGENHEIMER

I

t was probably always going to be strange.

Not because Sen. Kamala Harris had cut Joe Biden down on the debate stage a year ago, though there was that.

Not because of any personal awkwardness between them in their first shared hours as running mates, though perhaps there was some of that, too — discernible in their half-smiles and socially distanced waves inside a Delaware gymnasium plainly smaller than the moment.

Instead, the pair’s maiden gathering Wednesday as the presumptive Democratic nominees for president and vice president seemed almost custom designed to answer the knottiest visceral questions about campaigning for president in a pandemic: What defines success if crowd size and had-to-be-there electricity are nonoperational metrics?

Can zingers still zing without a laugh track in the room?

If an applause line is delivered without an audience to applaud it, does it still qualify?

“My fellow Americans,” Biden said grandly as he closed his remarks and ceded the microphone, “let me introduce to you for the first time: your next vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris.”

Silence.

Harris looked down from her chair behind him, grinned and stood, clasping her hands to her heart. Biden went to take a seat as an organizer slipped a wooden box beneath Harris’ feet for extra height.

No hug, no hands held aloft in conspicuous unity. But she was on.

Quickly, Harris confirmed a long-standing consideration among Biden allies — that almost any running mate threatened to upstage him as a dynamic public speaker. And she proved herself to be a potentially versatile messenger for whatever form the fall campaign might take.

She spoke of her friendship with Biden’s son Beau, who died in 2015, when both were state attorneys general.

Her voice appeared on the cusp of catching occasionally as she ticked through her biography as the child of immigrants and as a history-making elected official in California, who ascended to prosecutors’ offices and the U.S. Senate. (Harris is the first Black woman and first person of Indian descent to be a major party’s nominee for national office.)

She also seemed more than willing to absorb the responsibilities of many a campaign lieutenant before her: taking relentless aim at the other side.

“As somebody who has presented my fair share of arguments in court,” Harris swaggered at one point, “the case against Donald Trump and Mike Pence is open and shut.”

But a standard, rollicking running mate rollout this was not.

There was no mass crowd to salute inside, no “thank you, Florida!” — or Pennsylvania, or Michigan, or whichever swing state campaign advisers would have preferred on day one.

There was no overstuffed photo line where Biden could

Former Vice President Joe Biden is criticized by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) during a Democratic presidential debate in Detroit on July 31, 2019. Biden, the presumpive Democratic presidential nominee, selected Harris as his vice-presidential running mate on Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2020. point his finger-guns and pose, no cluster of locals to highfive the new ticket.

“I wish we were able to talk to the folks outside,” Biden said at the start of his address, alluding to supporters who had come to greet the two outside the gymnasium. “But we’re keeping our social distancing and playing by the rules.”

Still, for all the oddities endemic to a mid-virus presidential campaign, Wednesday’s event amounted to a most peculiar outcome in this political age: a scene that seemed entirely plausible, even predictable, a year ago — the conventional wisdom validated, if only this once.

Since the Democratic primary season began in earnest in early 2019, many voters had anointed themselves as realtime pundits, guessing at which combination of candidates stood the best chance against Trump. Even after a searing debate exchange over busing, musings about a would-be Biden-Harris unity ticket ricocheted through union halls and school auditoriums across Iowa and New Hampshire.

(In the end, Harris’ campaign collapsed before these states even weighed in officially.)

For a self-described “gut politician” like Biden — known to shake hands and shoulders and the sides of faces, if an attendee appears amenable — the evaporation of the traditional campaign trail has been jarring. Harris, who has likewise shown a capacity for in-the-room connection, will probably

have few opportunities to lean on this skill set this year.

But on balance, Democrats might count themselves grateful for these political conditions. Both candidates have been known to stumble in unrehearsed settings, with Harris in particular often demonstrating a wide gap between scripted performances and on-the-fly questioning.

On Wednesday, the two seemed to have prepared diligently to fuse their respective messages. Biden nodded at Harris’ “3 a.m. agenda” — a common refrain in her 2020 bid as she talked about the issues that keep people up at night — before reverting to his standard narrative frame: restoring American decency.

“Remember?” Biden asked, recounting the white supremacist demonstrations in Charlottesville, Virginia, three years ago. “Remember what it felt like to see those neo-Nazis?

Close your eyes.” Harris appeared to nod from her seat with her whole body.

Near the end of her own speech, Harris resurfaced the point: “Joe likes to say that character is on the ballot, and it’s true.”

When she finished, their spouses joined them on camera, masked and waving. The couples mostly stayed apart, clapping from an epidemiologically advisable remove.

They walked off together to the sound of a campaign song, “Move On Up,” and little else.

Facebook will urge voting by mail as Trump attacks method

By NICK CORASANTI

O

ne of the most valuable pieces of real estate on the internet will soon promote vote by mail to a broad audience of up to 70% of American adults over the next 82 days.

As part of Facebook’s new “voter information hub,” the biggest social network in the world will prompt users in states that allow mail-in ballots with reminders and links about registration deadlines, ballot request deadlines and how to submit a ballot.

The hub is Facebook’s latest push to expand access to voting information ahead of the 2020 election. Election Day is Nov. 3, but mail-in voting and early voting will be possible for weeks sooner.

Facebook has already set a goal of registering over 4 million new voters. Though the hub will be its own selfcontained landing page on Facebook, the company will feature prompts and reminders at the top of Facebook and Instagram feeds to highlight key deadlines, including for

vote by mail.

Facebook has often shied away from any confrontation with President Donald Trump over his rhetoric and use of the platform, but the promotion of vote by mail is likely to set up a clash with the president. Trump routinely condemns voting by mail, falsely labeling it as corrupt, in a relentless attempt to politicize the method.

“It really was not a political decision, to be honest,” said Emily Dalton Smith, the head of social impact at Facebook.

“Supporting vote by mail is really about making sure that people have the information and tools they need to participate in elections, make their voices heard, hold our leaders accountable. And it’s not specific to politics at all. It just came from the principle of what is right for our community.”

Other tech companies are expanding their civic footprint as well. Last week, Snap, the company behind the popular social media app Snapchat, announced that it would begin a major effort in early September to register first-time voters within its app and to guide them through the ballot process.

Twitter is also planning new tools, policies and voting resources over the next month that will help users find information on how to vote during the coronavirus pandemic, including promoting mail and alternative early voting options. “Ahead of the 2020 U.S. election, we’re focused on empowering every eligible person to register and vote through partnerships, tools and new policies that emphasize accurate information about all available options to vote, including by mail and early voting,� said Jessica Herrera-Flanigan, the vice president for public policy for the Americas at Twitter.

Trump frequently uses his Facebook page, where he has 28.7 million followers, to falsely attack voting by mail. The posts have not been taken down by Facebook, but the site recently started to add a link to “get official voting info� below such posts, which will now link to vote-by-mail facts or other information in the voter hub.

Though Facebook has offered similar voter engagement tools in the past, the company’s position in politics is a double-edged sword: Facebook is often considered the most critical tool in a campaign’s arsenal for advertising and fundraising, but it has also come under intense criticism for taking a completely hands-off approach to policing falsehoods in political ads on its platform.

And the wounds of 2016 — when Facebook was gamed by foreign actors in Russia to interfere in the election, including a voter suppression campaign targeting Black voters — are still fresh.

The company said in a blog post that the new information center would be used to help combat the spread of disinformation, with an eye toward a likely delay in results on Election Day owing to a surge of mailed ballots.

The hub will be based on the company’s tool for tracking information regarding the coronavirus. Information will come directly from election officials, often secretaries of state, and the tool will allow election officials to send “Voter Alerts� to users with important new information.

The tool will also help to recruit and register poll workers around the country, in an attempt to augment the shortages facing many municipalities as poll workers, often older and in high-risk categories for the coronavirus, have been opting not to work recent elections.

Facebook’s support for mail-in balloting is a recognition that the coronavirus is likely to continue to disrupt the country’s rhythms well through November. “We started thinking a lot about vote by mail, because in the context of COVID it is becoming even more important,� Smith said. “And our guiding principle has been that we just need to give people the information that they need to vote and share their voices.�

Voting experts lauded the efforts by social media companies to promote relevant information, particularly before the fall deadline crunch. “I’m grateful that they’re doing it on Aug. 12 and not Oct. 21,�

said Amber McReynolds, a former election official from Colorado and the current chief executive of the National Vote at Home Institute, which promotes voting by mail. “Facebook has done this for voter registration day before and it drives traffic significantly, so I absolutely think it will make a big difference.�

Mrs. Rosario Angulo Mestas Mrs. Rosario Angulo Mestas was born in Cuba on October 7, 1926. She was a faithful practitioner of the Catholic religion and served as president of the Association of Former Students of the Dominican Ameri-

can School in Cuba. In 1954, she married Dr. Ricardo Angulo in the Church of the Cathedral of Cuba at a mass offered by Cardinal Arteaga. Her Catholic principles led her on her honeymoon trip to visit Pope Pius XII,

who received the couple in person in Rome.

Her Catholic devotion, which accompanied her all her life, led her a few years later, in the company of her husband and her son Gerardo, to visit Pope John Paul II in Rome.

Then they were invited by the current Pope Francis, a visit that she could not make due to her poor health.

For Mrs. Rosario education was of utmost importance, so much so that when she left Cuba she obtained a Master’s Degree in Education at the University of Fairfield. Her great passion for education led her to dedicate herself to teaching for 20 years in New York.

She had two children, her most precious treasures, to whom she instilled her love of studies. The eldest, Ricardo Angulo Jr., studied at Dartmouth College and completed his master’s degree at Harvard Business School. Mrs. Angulo and her husband donated 156 scholarships to Dartmouth College in their son’s name known as “The Rick Angulo World Experience Award” scholarships.

Her second son, Gerardo Angulo, studied at Princeton University and also completed his master’s degree at Harvard Business School. His great legacy are his

sons Ricky Angulo Montag and Matthew Angulo Montag.

Mrs. Angulo was the owner of the San Juan Daily Star newspaper in conjunction with her husband, Dr. Ricardo Angulo.

May she rest in peace!

The Daily News is now a newspaper without a newsroom

By MARC TRACY

A

tabloid once famous for its bustling, big-city newsroom no longer has a newsroom.

In a move that was almost unthinkable before the coronavirus pandemic, Tribune Publishing said Wednesday that The Daily News, once the largest-circulation newspaper in the country, was permanently closing its physical newsroom at 4 New York Plaza in lower Manhattan. The same day, Tribune, the Chicago newspaper chain that has owned The News since 2017, told employees that it was closing four of its other newspapers’ offices.

“We have determined that we do not need to reopen this office in order to maintain our current operations,” Toni Martinez, a human resources executive at Tribune Publishing, wrote in an email to the staff that was reviewed by The New York Times. “With this announcement, we are also beginning to look at strategic opportunities and alternatives for future occupancy.”

The paper will continue to be published. The company made no promises about a future physical location. “As we progress through the pandemic and as needs change, we will reconsider our need for physical offices,” said a Tribune Publishing spokesman, Max Reinsdorf.

Newspapers across the country have been struggling for more than a decade because of punishing industry trends like the move away from revenue-generating print products and the nationalization of news. The pandemic, which has sharply squeezed advertising revenue, has added to the publications’ woes.

Workers at The Daily News were given until Oct. 30 to collect any belongings they had left in the office, although the email said the newsroom, which still has the distinctive four-faced clock that has migrated with the newspaper over the years, “formally closed” Wednesday.

Robert York, the editor-in-chief, suggested on a call with the staff Wednesday that there would most likely be a future newsroom, according to two participants.

A Tribune Publishing spokesman confirmed that the newsrooms of The Morning Call in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and The Orlando Sentinel in Florida had also closed. This year was the 100th

Tribune Publishing closed The Daily News’s headquarters at 4 New York Plaza in Lower Manhattan, effective Wednesday. anniversary of The Morning Call’s occupancy of its newsroom on Sixth Street and Linden Street.

Also closing were the newsroom of The Carroll County Times in Westminster, Maryland, and the Annapolis, Maryland, newsroom of The Capital Gazette — a newspaper that two years ago experienced tragedy when a gunman killed five staff members in the newsroom (then in a different building). A Chicago Tribune office for suburban publications in Aurora, Illinois, a city of 200,000 to Chicago’s southwest, was also closed, according to a staff email Wednesday.

These offices had been largely bereft of staff for the past few months because of the pandemic, but the news Wednesday that they were going away for good struck several journalists as a blow.

“We’ve hung all the awards we’ve been given, all the photos of our dead colleagues,” said Danielle Ohl of The Capital Gazette.

Recounting the temporary newsroom the staff went to after the shooting and then the new newsroom that was closed Wednesday, she added, “It felt like we finally had somewhere we know we will be, and we can move forward. And now we have to leave again. And not only are we leaving, but we’re leaving with nowhere else to go.”

Jen Sheehan, of The Morning Call, reflected on the corona-

virus-imposed status quo. “Nobody wants to be home,” she said.

“You get a lot out of being around your co-workers, both personally and how you report. We’re going to lose all of that.”

In its 20th-century heyday, The Daily News was a brawny metro tabloid that thrived when it dug into crime and corruption. It served as a model for The Daily Planet, the paper that counted Clark Kent and Lois Lane among its reporters, and for the tabloid depicted in the 1994 movie “The Paper.” It has won Pulitzer Prizes in commentary, feature writing and even international reporting.

Last fall, The Daily News had the 18th-highest weekday circulation of newspapers in the United States, according to the Alliance for Audited Media.

But it has been in financial trouble for decades. Mortimer B. Zuckerman, the New York real estate developer and media mogul, bought the paper out of bankruptcy in 1993. He sold it to Tribune Publishing, then known as Tronc, in 2017 for $1. (That is not a misprint.) Even so, The Daily News won (with ProPublica) the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Public Service that same year, for uncovering New York Police Department abuse of eviction rules.

Two years ago, the new owner slashed the newsroom staff in half and ousted its top editor, Jim Rich, who had reinvigorated the tabloid as an anti-Trump answer to The New York Post, the rival paper owned by Rupert Murdoch. The company replaced Rich with York, a media executive who has spent most of his career in San Diego.

The paper moved downtown in 2011. With fewer readers buying copies from newsstands, The Daily News, under Tribune Publishing, has emphasized its website.

Over the past several months, Alden Global Capital, a hedge fund that has aggressively cut costs at the newspapers it owns through the chain MediaNews Group, disclosed it owned nearly one-third of the publicly traded Tribune Publishing shares. It also amassed three of its seven board seats. Before the pandemic, Tribune Publishing offered buyouts to journalists, and it has since imposed furloughs and pay cuts.

The cuts, as well as the chance that Alden might take over the company outright, prompted employees at several Tribune Publishing newspapers to start campaigns calling for local benefactors to “save” their publications.

Google, Facebook and others broaden group to secure U.S. election

By MIKE ISAAC and KATE CONGER

F

acebook, Google and other major tech companies said Wednesday that they had added new partners and met with government agencies in their efforts to secure the November election.

The group, which is seeking to prevent the kind of online meddling and foreign interference that sullied the 2016 presidential election, previously consisted of some of the large social media firms, including Twitter and Microsoft in addition to Facebook and Google.

Among the new participants is the Wikimedia Foundation.

The group met Wednesday with representatives from agencies like the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security to share insights about disinformation campaigns and emerging deceptive behavior across their services.

Discussions between the tech companies and government agencies have occurred periodically over the past four years. While some of the companies have made a practice of sharing leads about disinformation campaigns and other election threats, the efforts have been haphazard. The effort has broadened as the November election approaches, and the tech companies and agencies have tried to coordinate more frequently.

“In preparation for the upcoming

Several major tech companies will work with government agencies as a group to fight disinformation like the QAnon conspiracy theory, represented by the Q on supporters’ phones.

election, we regularly meet to discuss trends with U.S. government agencies tasked with protecting the integrity of the election,” a spokesman for the group said in a statement. “For the past several years, we have worked closely to counter information operations across our platforms.”

The group emerged from meetings that began between the tech companies and government agencies last fall. The companies have since taken action to ward off threats in elections around the world. Facebook, for instance, has monitored election behavior in Brazil, Mexico, Germany and France. Last year, the social network said it was strengthening how it verified which groups and people placed political advertising on its site.

At Wednesday’s meeting, the group and agencies updated one another on the behavior and illicit activities that the companies were seeing on their platforms.

“We discussed preparations for the upcoming conventions and scenario planning related to election results,” the group’s spokesman said. “We will continue to stay vigilant on these issues and meet regularly ahead of the November election.”

In addition to the Wikimedia Foundation, the group has expanded to involve LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit and Verizon Media. The government participants also include the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Department of Justice’s National Security Division.

Several social media companies have reported an increase in disinformation efforts as the election approaches.

Last month, Twitter removed thousands of accounts that promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory. This week, NBC News reported that millions of QAnon conspiracy theory adherents were hidden in private groups and pages throughout Facebook.

The efficacy of the coalition remains unclear. While the group will discuss active threats, it is still the responsibility of each company to mitigate election interference on its platform.

New Zealand beat the virus once. Can it do it again?

A coronavirus test center in Auckland, New Zealand, on Thursday.

By DAMIEN CAVE and SERENA SALOMON

A

s the week began, New Zealanders were celebrating 100 days without community spread of the coronavirus, drinking at pubs, packing stadiums and hugging friends.

Two days later, that suddenly changed: Four new cases, all related, emerged in Auckland. On Thursday, officials said the cluster had grown to 17, as they struggled to map out how the virus had returned to an isolated island nation championed for its pandemic response.

One theory is that it could have come through cargo.

Some of the infected New Zealanders worked at a cold storage warehouse with imported food. Another focus is quarantine facilities for returning travelers, the source of an outbreak tearing through Melbourne, Australia.

A mystery and a few cases — that’s all it took for New Zealand to say goodbye to normalcy. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern immediately announced a new lockdown for Auckland, a city of 1.7 million people, along with a huge testing, contact tracing and quarantine blitz that aims to quash COVID-19 for the second time.

“Going hard and early is still the best course of action,” Ardern said Thursday as she had relaunched her daily coronavirus news briefings. “We have a plan.”

Many other places have faced a similar challenge — Hong Kong, Australia and Vietnam have all confronted new waves after early triumphs. New Zealand, while disappointed by the abrupt resurgence, has reacted with an extraordinary level of urgency and action that it hopes will be a model for how to eliminate a burst of infection and rapidly get on with life.

“We were totally back to hugging, handshaking, restaurants, cinemas — all the stuff apart from going on holiday overseas,” said Siouxsie Wiles, a microbiologist at the University of Auckland. “What we’ve had time to do in the meantime is massively ramp up our testing and contact tracing, so this is going to be a real test of how quickly you can stamp it out again.”

“Everything about the time frame,” she added, “has been really compressed.”

Jeremy Hutton, 28, who works in finance and was out for a walk and a take-away coffee Thursday morning, asked what seemed to be on the minds of many: “Are we just going to keep doing this every couple of months?”

Ardern first heard about a potential positive case at 4 p.m. Tuesday while traveling in a van a few hours outside the capital, Wellington, after visiting a factory that makes face masks. At 9:15 p.m., she and Dr. Ashley Bloomfield, the director-general of health, appeared at a news conference where they announced the new cases — all four were from the same family; none had recently returned from overseas — and a lockdown that would start the following day.

“We have come too far to go backwards,” Ardern said.

“Be strong and be kind.”

The lockdown was initially set for three days. Contact tracing had already begun.

Michael Baker, an epidemiologist who was a leading proponent of New Zealand’s forceful efforts to eliminate the virus during its initial outbreak months ago, said he heard about the new cases a few hours before the announcement.

Like many others, he immediately started trying to work out what had gone wrong.

“The only way a virus can appear in the community in New Zealand is via the borders,” he said. “It’s been eliminated in New Zealand. There is really no chance it was persisting for the last three months without it being detected.”

But which border, how and when? No one yet knows.

Bloomfield said Thursday that those infected in the new cluster first showed symptoms around the end of July, suggesting that the virus had been in the community for at least a week before that. Genetic sequencing found similarities with versions of the virus in Britain and Australia.

To investigate the unproven idea of a spread through cargo, health officials have tested everyone at Americold, the cold storage company where some of the first cases appeared, with fast-tracked results identifying a total of seven workers with the virus. Scientists, aware of how the virus has thrived in cold storage at meatpacking plants in other countries, are also testing surfaces at the company’s two facilities.

If the virus is found to have moved through freight, the consequences could be significant for global trade. It could mean deep cleaning and lengthier wait times between shipment and delivery, along with more monitoring on ships and in ports.

But epidemiologists said such transmission was improbable: human-to-human contact was the most likely source.

“Ninety percent of cases occur in houses and workplaces,” Bloomfield said.

The cluster’s growth so far points to a path through kitchens and break rooms. One of the new infections reported Thursday involved a student related to a person identified Tuesday. Another seven are family members of Americold employees.

All of those newly infected will be placed in government quarantine facilities, in an escalation over containment measures during New Zealand’s first lockdown in March and April.

New Zealand has apparently learned what not to do from its neighbor and rival Australia, where 800 people who had tested positive in Melbourne were recently found not to be at home during random checks of self-isolation.

Australia’s missteps have also led New Zealand to focus on quarantine facilities — in Melbourne, the virus moved from travelers to hotel workers, who then carried it home.

Bloomfield said Thursday that workers at all 32 quarantine facilities that handle returning travelers would be tested for the virus this week, and once a week after that.

Relatives of the workers may also be tested, along with every border official at New Zealand’s airports and other ports — between 6,000 and 7,000 federal employees.

“It will help us avoid any further and inadvertent spread into the community,” Bloomfield said.

The lockdown aims to do the same, and it’s being strongly enforced. In its first day and a half, authorities stopped 17,000 vehicles at 10 checkpoints. Most were traveling for the right reasons — for work, food or care-taking — and only 312 were turned back for trying to leave Auckland or other violations of the rules.

Beirut’s youngest cancer patients lose care options after blast

By MARIA ABI-HABIB

T

he children being treated at Beirut’s St. George Hospital built an extended family with each other, painting and dancing together when they had the energy and rubbing each other’s backs when they vomited after chemotherapy sessions.

Now these cancer-stricken children are struggling to keep up with their treatment and preserve the bonds they developed with each other over sometimes years of treatment, after a powerful blast ripped through Beirut last week and took their hospital — their home away from home — with it.

The blast destroyed four hospitals in Beirut, including St. George, one of the largest in the country, leaving many dozens of Lebanon’s youngest cancer patients with nowhere to go for care.

Adding to their trauma, many children were at St. George when the blast struck, causing widespread injuries and killing at least one of their parents.

For Peter Noun, head of St. George’s pediatric hematology and oncology department, only one of the three hospitals he practices in is now operational.

“It’s hard to know that we have a deadly but treatable disease and we cannot do anything for these kids because everything is destroyed,” Noun said.

Children respond well to chemotherapy, he explained, as long as they follow a strict schedule and do not miss any sessions.

Since the blast, Noun’s days are spent crisscrossing Lebanon, checking on the sick children in their homes and visiting hospitals to see if they have space to admit his 110 patients in dire need of care.

But any hospital left in Beirut is over capacity, tending to the 6,000 Lebanese injured in the blast.

A further complication: Lebanon’s coronavirus numbers are surging, and Noun worries the children he treats — already immunocompromised because of their chemotherapy — could catch the virus and die.

Noun was able to secure a handful of spots at one hospital outside Beirut for his most critical patients. He hopes that field hospitals being built by foreign governments will be ready fast enough to care for his remaining patients.

But time is running out, and he worries some children may relapse.

Marita Reaidy has lived most of her seven years in and

out of St. George from the time she was born, a fragile premature baby.

When Marita received her second cancer diagnosis last year, she returned to St. George and began rebuilding her hospital family, choosing her favorite nurses and picking her friends from among the other sick children.

“My home is now destroyed,” Marita said in an interview. “This was my hospital. It’s gone. I don’t want to see my hospital die like this.”

All the children interviewed for this article, and their parents, gave permission for their stories to be told and for their names to be published.

Marita and her mother, Amal Reaidy, woke up on Tuesday last week, excited they would be returning home to see Marita’s father and sister after a weeklong chemotherapy session.

The patient said goodbye to all the nurses and bid farewell to Yuri Abou Mrad, who had become one of her closest friends. Yuri, 7, was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma last year.

St. George had become the only place where Yuri and Marita felt like normal children. No one gave them pitiful looks or stared at their bald heads.

Later that Tuesday evening, Yuri’s father, Omar Abou Mrad, saw a fire raging at the port from a window at the hospital, perched on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean.

His son walked over to get a look, wheeling the metal contraption that carried his chemotherapy treatment.

The smoke turned black, and Yuri’s father started to worry. He knew from his childhood during Lebanon’s civil war that giant windows could become lethal, splintering into deadly shards after an explosion.

Seconds later, the blast came, its shock wave rippling across Beirut, destroying buildings in its path. At St. George, windows shattered while parts of the ceiling collapsed on hospital beds, pinning patients down.

When Abou Mrad came to, Yuri was crying and both were bleeding, lying atop shattered glass and twisted metal.

(Abou Mrad called for help, unable to move. The tubes that fed the chemotherapy into Yuri’s chest were tangled up in the debris.

Eventually, a nurse helped free them.

Despite a broken hand and fractured rib, Abou Mrad grabbed Yuri and placed him in an emergency exit stairwell.

He then joined others trying to help the wounded.

One father, whose daughter had just been diagnosed

Many children undergoing chemotherapy in Lebanon now have nowhere to turn for treatment after an explosion destroyed hospitals and wiped out medicine stockpiles. with cancer, was so badly injured he died days later.

“The trauma of having cancer so young and then to see your father, blood coming from his head, blood everywhere,” Noun said. “All she can say now is, ‘Baba will now see me from above. He will help me from heaven.’”

The parents who survived the blast are now exhausted.

Life was difficult before. Now it is hell, they say.

In the months before the blast — the result, according to Lebanese officials, of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate catching fire at the Beirut port — the country was already on the brink of collapse.

An economic crisis had devastated many of the middle-class families who go to St. George for affordable, quality care. As Lebanon’s currency shed its value, the families struggled to afford the medicine and treatment their children needed.

But Noun always found a way to help them, they said.

Now there is little he can do.

The blast badly damaged the government-run warehouse that stored imported medicine. The medicine stockpile at St. George was also destroyed.

The parents are now left to wonder: How can they save their children in a country that cannot save itself? In a country that would allow the ammonium nitrate to be stored at the port since 2014 despite repeated warnings to Lebanese officials about the dangers it posed?

Mexico’s former president accused in bribery scandal F

By NATALIE KITROEFF

or Mexicans, the news is disturbing — and disturbingly familiar. A key witness in a major corruption case has accused former President Enrique Peña Nieto of directing bribes to fund his presidential campaign.

Many Mexican leaders have been accused of corruption, but no president or former president has ever been criminally prosecuted. If the allegations made public Tuesday lead to formal charges against Peña Nieto, it would be a historic victory for the current president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who has vowed to root out graft and has called his predecessors “the mafia of power.”

But if the accusations never grow beyond unsubstantiated claims, serving only to lift the electoral fortunes of one party over another, then they would become just part of the same machinations that have defined bare-knuckle Mexican politics for generations.

“This is a great opportunity to fulfill the mandate to control corruption,” said Eduardo Bohorquez, the director of Transparency International Mexico, an anti-corruption nonprofit. “But we have seen this political game many times, and what we want to see this time is justice — not that they use the case but that they really prosecute those responsible.”

The latest allegations were made by Emilio Lozoya Austin, a one-time fugitive and former head of the state-run oil company, in a sprawling investigation into graft under Peña Nieto, who was president from 2012 to 2018. Mexico’s attorney general, Alejandro Gertz Manero, made the claims public in a video posted Tuesday.

Lozoya accused Peña Nieto and Luis Videgaray, the former finance minister, of using millions of dollars in bribes to compensate foreign consultants in the 2012 presidential campaign, and of directing millions more to six members of Congress in exchange for votes on important legislation in 2013 and 2014.

Peña Nieto left office with historically low approval ratings after presiding over a string of corruption scandals, including his wife’s purchase of a mansion from a contractor with close ties to the president. Last year, a witness in the trial of drug lord Joaquín Guzmán Loera, known as El Chapo, testified that Guzmán had paid a $100 million bribe to Peña Nieto, though the claim has never been proved.

The case involving Lozoya stems from a long-running probe into bribes paid by the Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht in exchange for government contracts across Latin America. Odebrecht has admitted to paying $10.5 million to Mexican officials.

Under Peña Nieto, who has denied allegations of corruption, the government declined to bring charges against anyone in the Odebrecht scandal, which has brought down high-ranking officials in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Peru.

López Obrador pursued the case in earnest after winning a landslide victory in 2018, as prosecutors zeroed in on a transfer of $3.6 million into a shell company tied to Lozoya, which they said was facilitated by Odebrecht. After fleeing the country, Lozoya was arrested in Spain in February and extradited to Mexico, where he is cooperating with authorities.

He has said that the millions distributed to campaign advisers at the direction of Peña Nieto and Videgaray came from bribes

paid by Odebrecht, according to the attorney general.

The investigation could bolster an administration in dire need of a political victory. López Obrador remains popular here, but his poll numbers have been declining in the midst of a pandemic that has left more than 53,000 dead and millions out of work. Congressional elections will take place next year and the president’s party will have to fight to maintain its control of the legislature.

But making such explosive accusations public before any formal charges are filed comes with its own risks. Mexican prosecutors have a history of bungling high-profile investigations and using them for political ends, and if the new revelations are mishandled or lead nowhere, it could hurt the president in the long run, analysts said.

“It worries at least some of us that the president only wants to win the elections and not actually investigate corruption,” said Esteban Illades, a newspaper columnist. “He definitely needs a win, because we are on the road to 60,000 deaths here in Mexico.”

López Obrador has repeatedly expressed skepticism about prosecuting former presidents, and suggested at a news conference Wednesday that he would seek a referendum before going after Peña Nieto. He also seemed to play down the consequences of the allegations.

“If it was just a statement, without evidence, it has no legal, and I would say, social and moral value,” López Obrador said.

“There has to be proof to back it up, evidence, witnesses. There is apparently a video, I would want to see it, like all Mexicans.”

Gobernadora extiende término de solicitud de decretos para incentivos para médicos y profesionales de la salud Por THE STAR gobernadora Wanda Vázquez Garced firmó la meLparaadidatodo que extiende el término de solicitud de decretos médico cualificado hasta el 31 de diciembre de

2020. Esto incluye a todo individuo admitido a la práctica de la medicina general o de cualquier especialidad de la podiatría, de la audiología, de la quiropráctica, de la optometría, cirujanos dentistas y profesionales de la odontología que cumplan con ciertos requisitos.

El Proyecto del Senado 1620, que fue presentado por el senador Carmelo Ríos, enmienda el “Código de Incentivos de Puerto Rico” para extender el término de solicitar los incentivos y evitar el éxodo masivo de médicos esenciales mediante incentivos económicos.

La gobernadora indicó: “Durante la pandemia del COVID-19, esta extensión se ha convertido en una extremadamente importante, ya que en estos momentos es cuando los médicos primarios han tenido unas ofertas gigantes en otras jurisdicciones. Necesitamos retener nuestros médicos y que la prestación de servicios esenciales de salud no se detenga”.

Vázquez Garced se refirió a que debido a las restricciones impuestas por la amenaza del COVID-19, muchos

de estos profesionales no pudieron utilizar el término establecido para solicitar los decretos necesarios y recibir estos incentivos económicos. Este beneficio había sido ampliado para aquel individuo admitido a la práctica de la medicina general, así como de ciertas especialidades el pasado mes de abril, otorgando un término original que venció el 30 de junio.

Todo individuo admitido a la práctica de la medicina general o de cualquier especialidad, de la podiatría, audiología, de la quiropráctica, optometría, cirujanos dentistas o que practique alguna especialidad de la odontología y que cumpla con los requisitos, podrá solicitarle al secretario del Departamento de Desarrollo Económico y Comercio (DDEC) la concesión de estos incentivos económicos.

Por su parte, el Dr. Víctor Ramos, presidente del Colegio de Médicos indicó que “con esta ley que ha firmado la gobernadora Wanda Vázquez, se le hace justicia a todos los médicos que puedan solicitar decretos contributivos que les permitan seguir prestando sus servicios a nuestros pacientes aquí en Puerto Rico y no tengan que trasladar sus prácticas a los estados. Agradecemos a la gobernadora esta medida de beneficio a nuestros pacientes en todo Puerto Rico”.

Representante Aponte Dalmau exige tomar acción contra el presidente de la CEE Por THE STAR l representante por el Distrito 38, JaEel que vier Aponte Dalmau, exigió hoy que el Presidente de la Comisión Es-

tatal de Elecciones (CEE), el Lcdo. Juan Ernesto Dávila Rivera, sea investigado por la negligencia crasa y culposa cometida el pasado domingo 9 de agosto durante la celebración de las primarias estatales y que eventualmente conllevó la suspensión del proceso electoral.

“El atentado a la democracia que cometió el Presidente por negligente craso y culposo e irresponsable, mediante acciones constituyentes de ilegalidad, simplemente no puede pasar como un mero error y quedar impune.

Estamos hablando de que el proceso para ejercer el derecho fundamental al sufragio fue uno atropellado, tanto para los que sí pudieron votar como para los que no pudieron, y así lo determinó ayer el Tribunal Supremo de Puerto Rico. Por lo tanto, el responsable de tan lamentable y vergonzoso suceso tiene que responder por sus actos, por su irresponsabilidad y por su incapacidad para manejar el proceso”, manifestó el legislador.

“Aquí lo grave de la situación es que el Presidente siempre supo que las primarias no podrían llevarse a cabo.

Este señor le mintió al País y le mintió a los Comisionados Electorales. Esto más que serio, constituye delito de perjurio”, denunció. Aponte Dalmau exige que al presidente de la CEE se le destituya de su

puesto en la judicatura, ya que es inconcebible que una persona que le mintió al País y causó un caos en un proceso vital para la democracia de un pueblo continúe ocupando un puesto de juez.

“No se puede permitir que, una vez más, las personas que incumplen con su responsabilidad y hasta pudieran incurrir en violaciones civiles y criminales, simplemente se le diga que lo hizo mal y se le permita continuar en un puesto que evidentemente le queda grande.

Dejarle permanecer en un puesto de juez sería un pésimo precedente al premiar a quien tanto daño le ha hecho a la democracia y a nuestro pueblo”, concluyó.

Por otra parte, expresó: “¿Qué ganaba este señor con eso? A mi me parece que aquí algo turbio ha pasado y que a alguien estaba tratando de beneficiar.

Eso sería algo muy serio y por eso es urgente que se investigue. Hay que aclarar lo que aquí ocurrió si queremos recuperar el prestigio y la confiabilidad de una de las pocas instituciones en las que el País todavía confiaba. La solución no puede ser que el Presidente renuncie y siga como si nada, tiene que responder en su totalidad por el daño mal intencionado causado y todas las consecuencias que eso ha tenido”.

Aponte Dalmau exige que la Cámara de Representantes se autoconvoque y someta una Resolución investigativa para dilucidar lo ocurrido y que a los responsables se les imponga todo el peso de la ley.

Can Neil Young block Trump from using his songs? It’s complicated

Neil Young has sued President Trump for using “Rockin’ in the Free World” and “Devil’s Sidewalk,” which both played at Mr. Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Okla., in June.

By BEN SISARIO

O

n Election Day in 2018, Neil Young posted a frustrated statement about President Donald Trump.

Three years earlier, Trump had used Young’s song “Rockin’ in the Free World” — a protest against injustice — when announcing his campaign, drawing Young’s ire. With the divisive midterms underway, Young once again complained, yet said he had no legal recourse to stop Trump from using his music.

“Legally, he has the right to,” Young wrote on his website, “however it goes against my wishes.”

Last week, Young finally sued Trump’s campaign over the use of “Rockin’ in the Free World” and another song, “Devil’s Sidewalk,” both of which were played at Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in June. In his suit, the musician accused the campaign of copyright infringement for playing the tracks without a license, and asked for the campaign to be ordered to stop using them, as well as for statutory damages.

Young’s complaint said he “in good conscience cannot allow his music to be used as a ‘theme song’ for a divisive, un-American campaign of ignorance and hate.”

What changed in the intervening years, intellectual property experts say, is a new strategy by musicians to stop political candidates from using their songs without permission, though the legality of their approach is uncertain.

For years, musicians and songwriters have balked when politicians play their songs at rallies. A politician’s embrace of their work can imply an endorsement, they say, or distort a song’s meaning — as when President Ronald

Reagan praised Bruce Springsteen in a speech in 1984, after a conservative columnist’s misinterpretation of the bleak “Born in the U.S.A.” In the Trump era, this conflict has only grown more intense, as the president has drawn condemnations from a huge range of acts for using their music — like Rihanna, Elton John, Pharrell Williams, Axl Rose, Adele, R.E.M., the estates of Tom Petty and Prince — though Trump has often responded to their complaints with defiance.

“I think he is just extending a big middle finger to musical artists to say, ‘You can’t stop me,’ ” said Lawrence Y. Iser, a lawyer who has handled several lawsuits over campaigns’ use of copyrighted songs, including one filed in 2010 by David Byrne against Charlie Crist, then the governor of Florida.

Yet artists have had little power to block political use of their songs. Most campaigns have the same legal cover to play songs that radio stations or concert halls do — through blanket licensing deals from entities like ASCAP and BMI, which clear the public performance rights for millions of songs in exchange for a fee. ASCAP and BMI even offer special licenses to campaigns, letting them use songs wherever they go.

For artists like Young and the Rolling Stones — whose 1969 song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” has been the closing theme for countless Trump rallies — their involvement in those deals meant they could not take legal action.

But in June, the Stones said they would sue if Trump used their music again, and both ASCAP and BMI said that at the band’s request they had removed its songs from the

list of works offered to campaigns. (The rules for using a song in a film or commercial are clearer: Direct permission from a writer or their publisher is needed.)

ASCAP and a lawyer for Young both said that “Rockin’ in the Free World” and “Devil’s Sidewalk” had similarly been removed from ASCAP’s political license.

Yet it is not clear whether such withdrawals are allowed under ASCAP and BMI’s regulatory agreements with the federal government, which were instituted decades ago to prevent anti-competitive conduct.

Known as performing rights organizations, ASCAP and BMI act as clearinghouses for the legal permissions that any radio station, digital music service or shopping mall needs to play copyrighted songs. The organizations’ agreements with the Justice Department, known as consent decrees, set out strict rules meant to preserve a fair marketplace, like offering their catalogs of songs to any “similarly situated” party that wants to use their music.

“Artists are faced with an uphill legal battle for asserting their rights to prevent politicians with whom they disagree from performing their songs,” said Christopher J. Buccafusco, a professor at Cardozo Law School. “They may have some options to do so, via the withdrawal of the political license, but those have dubious validity.”

ASCAP and BMI both believe their consent decrees allow the writers and publishers they represent to withdraw material under certain conditions, including if a particular use could damage the economic value of a song’s copyright.

“BMI does not remove a song from the license in order to achieve higher rates or for any reason other than that the rights holders believe the association of their song with a campaign is an implied endorsement and diminishes the value of that work,” said Stuart Rosen, BMI’s general counsel.

A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Young’s case is being closely watched as a test of artists’ power to protect their work against political use.

With the pandemic shutting down most rallies and many convention events, it is possible that the issue will be moot for the remainder of the 2020 campaign. But it may just be a matter of time before the issue flares up again, and artists as well as lawyers are watching the moves by Young and the Stones for clues.

Buccafusco, a specialist in intellectual property issues, said that the best avenue for artists’ complaints may be outside the law — and that a politician’s use of their song can serve as an opportunity for those artists to articulate their own positions and clarify the messages in their work.

“Their best recourse is probably one that they have been using for many years,” he said, “which is to complain publicly and engage in shaming sessions, which very often have won.”

Charlie Blackmon could set a hitting record. Would it be legitimate?

By TYLER KEPNER

T

he plaque for Hugh Duffy at the Baseball Hall of Fame all but certifies his status as the premier single-season hitter in major league history.

“He compiled a batting average in 1894 which was not to be challenged in his lifetime,” it states — and Duffy lived for six decades after his achievement.

Duffy, an outfielder for the Boston Beaneaters, forefathers of the Atlanta Braves, hit .440 in that 1894 season. Indeed, nobody has come close to his record, not even Ted Williams, who batted .406 in 1941. No one has come within 12 points of Williams since.

Which brings us to Charlie Blackmon and the curious case of 2020. Blackmon, the Colorado Rockies’ right fielder, is so hot that he could not only hit .400 this season, he might just challenge Duffy’s ancient record.

After going 3 for 4 on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Blackmon was batting .500 (34 for 68) entering Wednesday’s games, making him just the fifth player in the past 50 years with a .500 average through his team’s first 17 games. The others include three Hall of Famers — Tony Pérez in 1970, Rod Carew in 1983, Larry Walker in 1997 — and Barry Bonds, in 2004.

Their seasons all lasted 162 games, of course. This season — with opening day delayed until last month because of the coronavirus pandemic — will cover only 60. Baseball has declared that all records would count nonetheless, but Blackmon, a career .304 hitter before this season, doubts he will set one.

“No, I don’t really think .400 is a realistic mark for today’s game,” he said before Tuesday’s game. “The pitching is too good. The stuff is too good, there’s more specialization. I don’t think it’s something that will happen. There’s maybe some scares, but I think .400 is just too far away from the average. I don’t think it’s something that will be done. I’m not like, expecting to hit .400 for a season. I don’t really think that’s a realistic goal.”

Before Wednesday’s games, major leaguers were batting just .235, worse than their lowest collective mark for a season: .237 in 1968. For an individual, though, .400 seems plausible — Donovan Solano of the San Francisco Giants

was also on pace to beat Duffy’s mark, with a .458 average through Tuesday. In 2017, when Blackmon won the National League batting title with a career-high .331 average, he hit .374 across 60 games from July 1 through Sept. 9.

He could conceivably hit .400, right?

“Yeah, but then again it’s not a full season; it’ll be an asterisk,” Blackmon said. “Even so, I don’t think I’m going to hit .400 for 60 games. Statistically speaking, it’s not very likely.”

Last season’s leading hitter, Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox, was batting .424 after the team’s first 17 games. By Game No. 60, his average had dropped to .323, much closer to its season-ending .335. That seems to be a more likely path for Blackmon.

Then again, breaking records is never likely. Blackmon, who mostly hit leadoff in the past, has thrived in the No. 3 spot this season and helped lead Colorado (12-6) to the top of the NL West.

An extended pursuit of .400 would be a talking point this season and would surely elevate his stature. Blackmon, 34, is a four-time All-Star but has never finished higher than fifth in voting for most valuable player.

“Charlie deserves recognition as an elite hitter, and if he gets over .400, it’s a great milestone for his career and for a season that needs great stories,” said Ryan Spilborghs, a Rockies television analyst who played for their 2007 World Series team. “But I don’t think it would be recognized the same way that we look at Ted Williams.”

Spilborghs said Blackmon separates

himself from peers by never giving away an at-bat, a natural product, he believes, of the persistence and drive he needed to forge a career at the plate. Blackmon started college as a pitcher, but turned to hitting in a summer league with encouragement from his coach, former major leaguer Rusty Greer. The Rockies drafted him in the second round from Georgia Tech in 2008.

“Physically and mentally, he’s as strong and tough as anybody I’ve ever been around,” said Rockies manager Bud Black, who has spent more than 40 years in baseball. “And what he’s doing this year is a result of not only his overall talent, but what he does to get ready for a game and what he does postgame.”

Blackmon has done all this despite contracting COVID-19 before the season. Blackmon had been working out before summer training camp in Denver and then contracted the virus on a trip home to Georgia. Though his symptoms were mild, Blackmon curtailed his training for a while and has had to adapt.

“It’s been difficult to ramp up to the capacity that I need to be able to play Major League Baseball,” he said.

“It wouldn’t be so hard if I just had to play for three hours a day, but there’s a lot more that goes into what it takes to be on the field for three hours. You’ve got to keep all your baseball skills sharp, you’ve got to work out, you’ve got to recover, and then you’ve got to do that day after day after day — at altitude, at sea level, back to altitude. That’s the only lingering effects that I’m seeing from the virus.”

While the spacious outfield and thin air help hitters in Denver, the constant adjustments for road games are taxing on bodies and batting averages. Blackmon has a .352 career average at home and .264 on the road, figures that underscore the importance of context, which is more essential in 2020 than ever.

The shortened schedule makes this season a historic outlier, but so much else has changed since the days of the .400 hitter. The majors have been integrated. Pitchers have perfected an array of options beyond the fastball and curve. Hitters are less familiar with the arms they see — Williams faced only 73 pitchers in the entire 1941 season; Blackmon has already faced 41 in 2020.

“The season’s the season, and I think there’s enough integrity to 60 games — 200-plus at-bats, more than likely,” Black said. “I think there is some legitimacy to this, I really do. There is competition from Game 1 until Game 60.”

To Blackmon, though, the conversation is moot. He said he had been “pretty lucky” so far, with ground balls slipping through the infield and floaters dropping safely in the outfield. He is more concerned with the Rockies’ success than his own.

In any case, Blackmon will not spend much time contemplating his season or what it could mean in history — that was especially true for Thursday, the Rockies’ only open date of the month. What would he do all day?

“I don’t really know,” Blackmon said, “but there’s going to have to be a lot of rest involved.”

Masters will play without Augusta’s famed roars

By BRENDAN PORATH

T

he Augusta National Golf Club announced earlier this week that the 2020 Masters Tournament, postponed from its traditional April date to Nov. 12-15, will be held without patrons or guests in attendance. The decision was a response to the coronavirus pandemic and came after many other fixtures of the men’s professional golf schedule, including last week’s PGA Championship, the first major championship of this unconventional year, previously were conducted without spectators.

The Masters’ decision — the last of the major men’s tournaments to say it would proceed without fans — could signal that the remaining tournaments this season will follow suit. The U.S. Golf Association announced two weeks ago that the U.S. Open, which will be held at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., from Sept. 17 to 20, would not have fans in attendance. And the British Open was canceled earlier this year.

The PGA Tour said its events will not host fans through the end of this current season, which concludes Sept.

7. The first two events of the next PGA Tour season, the Safeway Open and Sanderson Farms Championship, have also already announced that they will not have fans on-site during their September and October dates.

“Throughout this process, we have consulted with health officials and a variety of subject matter experts,” said Fred Ridley, chair of Augusta National.

“Ultimately, we determined that the potential risks of welcoming patrons and guests to our grounds in November are simply too significant to overcome.”

Patrons is the preferred term of a club beholden to many traditions that distinguish it from other men’s golf tournaments. Clifford Roberts, a cofounder of the club and its chair from 1931 to 1976, prioritized the so-called patron experience from the moment the Masters Tournament was first held in 1934. Many of those initial concerns for spectators, like the minute attention

Few other golf tournaments have a widely known phrase to describe the fan presence, but the “Augusta roars” have become synonymous with the Masters perhaps as much as blooming azaleas. to sight lines, affordable concessions prices and on-course scoreboards, still persist at the Masters.

“Even in the current circumstances, staging the Masters without patrons is deeply disappointing,” Ridley added.

“The guests who come to Augusta each spring from around the world are a key component to making the tournament so special. Augusta National has the responsibility, however, to understand and accept the challenges associated with this virus and take the necessary precautions to conduct all aspects of the tournament in a safe manner.”

Few other golf tournaments have a widely known phrase to describe the fan presence, but the “Augusta roars” — the resounding crowd response that echoes around the course — have become synonymous with the Masters

perhaps as much as the blooming azaleas. Peter Kostis, who broadcast the tournament with CBS for decades, pondered whether the club would break with tradition and change the course’s setup, which is usually laid out in such a way as to provoke those crowd reactions.

Speaking at this week’s Wyndham Championship, golfer Brandt Snedeker, who has three top-10 results in 11 Masters starts, described how spectators define the tournament’s famed atmosphere.

“Part of the allure and majesty of Augusta National is the patrons. You have that electricity from the first moment on Thursday morning to [when] the last putt goes in on Sunday night on every hole,” he said. “It’s not just on the back nine; it’s on every hole.”

Augusta National also canceled this year’s Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the Drive, Chip, and Putt Championship, two events conducted around Masters week each year.

The club clarified that tickets for the 2020 tournament would be honored for 2021’s event, scheduled for next April.

The ticketing process for the 2021 tournament had also already commenced, and the club said it would be communicating directly with ticket holders and applicants for next year’s tournament.

The club did not announce who, specifically, would fall outside the definition of “patrons and guests” and be permitted on the grounds during tournament week. The player field for the 2020 Masters was already finalized and closed the week before the original April date.

PSG breaks its glass ceiling. Now comes the hardest part.

By RORY SMITH

I

n that second half, the cavalry kept coming, wandering off the bench and onto the field one after the other. As Atalanta’s players blinked back the sweat, it must have felt as if Paris St.-Germain could draw from a bottomless well of talent.

First, the boy wonder, the next best player in the world, with his blistering speed and his glistening menace and his adhesive touch. That was bad enough.

Then came the German winger who would walk into all but a handful of teams in the world, and the playmaker not long since regarded as Argentine soccer’s coming star.

True, there was a sliver of solace to be found in the desperation of it all. The clock was ticking on Thomas Tuchel, PSG’s coach: 30 minutes until yet another humiliation in the Champions League; 20 minutes left to save his job; 10 minutes before all that talk of a curse came rumbling back.

Tuchel has a reputation as cold and aloof, as a coach who thrives in the sideline battle of wits: a tweak here, a touch there, a smart shift that changes the dynamic of a game. He is a tactician, more than a rouser or a cajoler or a motivator.

But there was no subtlety on Wednesday, no grand idea beyond throwing everything and everyone forward and seeing what happened.

Sometimes, though, material resources trump mental ones. With scarcely more than a minute left to play, Atalanta was nearly there, in the semifinals of the Champions League, the grandest stage on which it had ever played, in the darkest year its Italian hometown, Bergamo, has ever experienced. The great fairy tale — the sort of story that soccer’s vulture economics are now specifically designed to prevent — was on.

And then, all of a sudden, it wasn’t.

Marquinhos bundled home an equalizer.

Atalanta sagged. Neymar slid the ball into Kylian Mbappé’s path and Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting stabbed a winner past goalkeeper Marco Sportiello. Atalanta collapsed.

Sportiello glared at the scoreboard, hanging from the roof of Lisbon’s Estádio da Luz, as if he was accusing it of lying.

Some of his teammates crumpled on the grass. Others seemed to freeze, their eyes

Two late goals lifted Paris St.-Germain over Atalanta and into its first Champions League semifinal since 1995. locked in thousand-yard stares. PSG, for the first time in a quarter of a century, had made it into a Champions League semifinal.

The alternative was unthinkable. This competition has brought PSG nothing but trouble in recent years. The club exists, effectively, solely to win it. Its backer, Qatar Sports Investments, does not regard strolling to yet another Ligue 1 title as a particularly effective way to win hearts and minds or express the global relevance of the Gulf state, or whatever the purpose of its lavish, multibillion-dollar investment might be. The glory, the status, is in the Champions League.

But so is the pain. PSG thought it had its breakthrough moment in 2017, when it demolished Barcelona at the Parc des Princes; a few weeks later, it was humiliated at Camp Nou, its defeat orchestrated

by Neymar. No matter; lesson learned.

That summer, Neymar moved to Paris, his fee more than double the previous world transfer record, a figure unlikely to be beaten — in a post-pandemic world — for some time, if at all. Just to be sure, not long after, the club added Mbappé to its ranks.

Still, these things are not quite that simple. Real Madrid knocked PSG out with ease in 2018. A late rally from Manchester United did the same a year later. Until the very last moment, Atalanta

seemed set to add to that list.

The fact that PSG might have been able to point to genuine, and significant, mitigating circumstances — an injury to Mbappé, as well as the absence of Marco Verratti and Angel Di María; the fact that France’s decision not to resume play after the coronavirus-induced hiatus meant it had played only two competitive games in five months — would not have mattered. This would have been another choke.

That it is not is down, in part, to the fourth outfield reserve Tuchel called upon in that last great roll of the dice, the player who turned out to be the scorer of the goal that finally broke what seemed to be the French champion’s glass ceiling, and a symbol of a lesson PSG might finally be starting to heed.

Choupo-Moting, it is fair to say, is not the sort of player who fits PSG’s typical transfer model. There was no line of fans snaking outside the Parc des Princes desperate to get their hands on his replica jersey when he signed, from a Stoke City team just relegated from the Premier League, in 2018.

Choupo-Moting, of course, is not as richly gifted as some of his teammates.

He is not rewarded quite so handsomely.

He was not, even, the inspiration behind PSG’s revival against Atalanta. That was very much Neymar, excellent in all but

his finishing throughout, and Mbappé, a burst of pure purpose after his injurydelayed introduction.

But there is a reason that Neymar, elected as the game’s best player, handed his man-of-the-match trophy to ChoupoMoting afterward. PSG must surely have learned by now that glamour alone will not deliver the Champions League title.

The Galactico model, as honed by turn-of-the-century Real Madrid, has its limits. That team, after all, did not win the trophy it craved after Ronaldo and David Beckham joined Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane. Stardust alone is not enough.

Workhorses and support acts and watercarriers are needed, too, players who are not there to add moments of wonder but to do the one thing they are good at, to be in the right place at the right time.

This is, of course, only the first step for PSG. Either RB Leipzig or Atlético Madrid awaits in the semifinal; the latter, certainly, would most likely be less daunted by the sight of Tuchel marshaling his reserve troops on the sideline. Pass through that and there is the small matter of the final: Bayern Munich or Barcelona or Manchester City or Lyon.

All of those teams — with the respectful exception of Lyon — can match PSG for star power. They can stand toe to toe with Tuchel’s side in terms of the depth of their squad, the wealth of their resources.

What will make the difference, more than anything, is how those resources are deployed; whose squad is built most intelligently; who has the breadth, not the depth, of players at their disposal. Players like Neymar win tournaments. More often than you think, though, it is players like Choupo-Moting who win games.

Refrain from giving sarcastic answers to questions you’ve been asked a dozen times. You need to get people to take you seriously and this can only be achieved through being diplomatic and showing patience. Lengthy negotiations could take it out of you. You’re exhausted when at times it feels as if you’re getting nowhere.

You will learn a lot through activities involving some energetic, talented people. Their enthusiasm is contagious and will help keep you inspired. Even so, it won’t be easy to keep up with everyone. Some people will seem to have boundless energy. They won’t notice how much effort this is costing you.

Don’t give up on your efforts to re-establish harmony between estranged friends or relations. At times you will feel you are banging your head against a brick wall but keep trying.

Life will be happier if you achieve this aim.

You may need to remind yourself that nothing that’s worth it comes easily. Persevere.

(Oct 24-Nov 22)

Take the initiative in a project where other people seem confused about what the next move should be. Use your head and get on with things without being asked to do them.

Take this chance to utilise personal skills to improve a group effort. Your willingness to take action will add to your upward mobility.

You can’t think of a way to progress a current project. You feel you have hit a dead end and exhausted all possibilities. Just as you’re about to give up someone will have an idea that will give you extra mileage out of your past efforts.

You’ll be grateful for the creativity of a friend.

Aquarius

(Jan 21-Feb 19)

Light will be shed on a situation involving two people you are fond of. You are disappointed they’ve behaved in a way that will upset others. Someone you are introduced to will be a person of few words. You will need to learn to read their body language.

Pisces

(Feb 20-Mar 20)

It doesn’t matter whether it relates to romance, family or financial matters, today is the day to make a move. Doing something is better than doing nothing. As soon as you take the initiative everything will start to fall neatly into place. The time to take action has arrived.
