STAYING ABOVE WATER Developers are building new projects with protections against flooding

BY MAURA MCDERMOTT

Long Island developers are making multimillion-dollar investments to protect new projects — waterfront and inland alike — from rising sea levels and the risk of major storms. In Glen Cove, RXR Realty said it is raising the ground level of its 56-acre waterfront development, Garvies Point, by 6 to 10 feet. The effort required enough soil, sand and gravel to fill 40 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It also is constructing $15 million steel and reinforced concrete bulkheads along the waterfront, and spending roughly $10 million on storm-water management and $5 million on generators to provide full power to all 569 condominiums if electricity gets knocked out. These and other steps to make the property storm-resilient will add roughly $40 million to the $1 billion cost of the project, which in addition to the condos includes 541 rental apartments as well as a restaurant, shops, offices and parks, the Uniondalebased developer said. In East Rockaway, the Beechwood Organization is elevating 84 new condos over parking spaces at its waterfront property, adding a new bulkhead, docks and oversized drainage systems, and placing all mechanical equipment on roofs. The 2.7-acre site was previously occupied by a marina that was devastated by superstorm Sandy in 2012. Jerichobased Beechwood said it spent roughly $5 million going be-

yond state building codes and local requirements to protect the property from storms. Virginia-based AvalonBay Communities is raising the land near Manhasset Bay in Great Neck where it is constructing a 191-unit apartment

building, elevating the structure over parking and installing utilities 16 feet high, at the top level of its garage, said Chris Capece, senior development director. Tritec Real Estate Co. is elevating the 112 apartments in its

Shipyard project in Port Jefferson over a parking garage and installing drainage pumps in the garage, even though the waterfront complex is located outside the designated flood plain, said Robert Kent, vice president and general counsel at the East Setauket-based company. “In a post-superstorm Sandy Long Island, there is a heightened awareness of where the high-risk flood zones are,” said Kyle Strober, executive director of the Association for a Better Long Island, a builders’ trade group. “The 100-year flood storms are happening every 10 years now, and that means only the very forgetful or the highstakes gamblers are building on the ground level today.”

Exceeding requirements

Under state building codes and local laws, developers are required to protect buildings in high-risk flood zones by con-

structing strong foundations, elevating buildings and electrical systems and using storm-resistant materials, among other measures. But developers say they are going beyond those requirements. The builders’ investments come as climate scientists report that sea levels have risen over the last century and are expected to continue rising. A study released last month by the Union of Concerned Scientists examined the U.S. coastline and found that by 2100 nearly 500 communities — including many along Long Island’s South Shore — could face “chronic flooding” so severe that residents could be displaced if communities do not take steps to protect themselves. Global sea levels have risen by 7 to 8 inches since 1900, a team of scientists wrote in a 673-page draft government re-

ment in North Hills — more than 2 miles from Manhasset Bay — the developer is girding for storms. Two tractortrailer-sized generators can provide full power to the first 110 condominiums, and another three will be added as the complex grows to 230 units. The generators are expected to cost $3.5 million, said Joe Graziose, senior vice president at RXR. RXR chief executive Scott Rechler was determined to make the Ritz-Carlton “Sandyproof,” despite the added cost, since many buyers lived on the North Shore and lost power when Sandy hit, Graziose said. Developers say their primary concern is protecting their own investments and those of prospective buyers. “The last person you’re going

above the height of a 100-year storm. The same developers also are building 90 apartments in Copiague. At both complexes, builders are using materials designed to protect against floods and major storms, such as hurricane-resistant windows. Both complexes will rent to residents with low to moderate incomes. “We have such a limited number of affordable housing options on Long Island that as we rehabilitate or develop new properties, doing so in a way that is resilient allows the investment to be that much more sustainable and long-term,” O’Shea said. The Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery contributed $4.55 million to the cost of the Riverhead project and $8.75 million for the apartments in Copiague. Those awards were part of a $79.2 million pro-

gram to replace affordable housing throughout the state in areas hit by Sandy and other storms, an agency spokeswoman said. Protecting new residences from storms “makes good economic and business sense and thoughtful social policy,” Lisa Bova-Hiatt, executive director of the recovery office, said in a statement. In Long Beach, new singlefamily homes also include protection from floods.

Added cost, added value

Making homes storm-resilient by building strong foundations, elevating living spaces over garages, and in some cases installing elevators, can easily cost an extra $100,000 for a single-family home, said Anthony Rector, a builder and lifelong Long Beach resident

to talk about being a tree-hugger is me,” Graziose said. “This is all about infrastructure. At the end of the day, you want to build something that’s going to last a long time.” In East Rockaway, Beechwood said all residences will be almost 13 feet above the highwater mark from Sandy. “The key is just to build higher,” said Steven Dubb, a principal with the company and son of its founder, Michael Dubb. “We want to make sure we can survive superstorm Sandy, or worse.” In downtown Riverhead, the Community Development Corp. of Long Island and Conifer Realty are building 45 apartments that will be on the second floor or higher to protect them from floods, said Gwen O’Shea, chief executive of the Centereach development corporation.

port dated June 28, The New York Times reported recently. Sea levels are “very likely” to rise another 3 to 6 inches by 2030, due mainly to increasing temperatures and melting ice, and the effects could include more floods and major storms, the draft report found. Some scientists and elected officials debate the extent, severity and causes of the changes. But on Long Island, major developers and small-scale builders say they are responding to a growing incidence of routine floods, as well as major storms like Sandy. In RXR’s Glen Cove complex, all residences will be located 18 to 22 feet above the level reached by a so-called 100-year storm — that is, a storm with a 1 percent chance of happening in a given year, the developer said.

who has constructed six new homes there since Sandy. However, such measures can add roughly $250,000 to the value of a property, he said. Protecting homes from storms also reduces flood insurance costs. Rector said he elevated his own bayfront home over a garage after Sandy flooded it with 5 feet of water. “My living space is never going to be hit again, unless of course there’s something out there that we can’t foresee or control,” he said. “I love living on the water, and this is just part of the protocol.” The recent report by the Union of Concerned Scientists predicts that even under an optimistic scenario for rising sea levels, more than 10 percent of Long Beach could face routine floods — twice a month, on average — by the end of the century. If the ocean rises sharply, Long Island coastal communities

from the Town of Hempstead to East Hampton would face routine inundation of onetenth or more of their land, the group predicts. Local climate scientists said large-scale studies, such as the one by the Union of Concerned Scientists, cannot account for characteristics of individual communities, such as flood-mitigation measures. Nevertheless, those local experts said the recent study is based on solid scientific analysis. More detailed local data show that communities such as Long Beach and the Town of Hempstead “definitely have to be concerned about rising sea levels over the next 20 to 40 years,” said Larry Swanson, interim dean of the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University.

Sea levels continue to rise

Research by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows that on Long Island, sea levels have

risen by 0.8 to 1.3 feet over the last century, said Nelson Vaz, coastal services team leader for the National Weather Service. A team of 300 experts guided by a 60-member federal advisory committee has concluded that a further rise of 1 to 4 feet in global sea levels is expected by 2100, but the increase in New York could be even greater, Vaz said. The gradual rise in sea levels will lead to more damaging storms, since floodwaters will reach farther inland, said Jay Tanski, a coastal geologist with the New York Sea Grant program. And that will force more Long Island communities to adapt by elevating roads and buildings above the reach of floodwaters, as Freeport and other municipalities have already begun to do, he said. On Long Island, developers and public officials alike said the Island already faces more frequent flooding and more

needs to be done to protect residents. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) said he has worked with local governments seeking federal grants for storm mitigation and advocated for coastal and wetlands restoration projects that “will use the natural environment to reduce flooding, erosion and storm damage.” In Long Beach, local officials have secured more than $200 million in state and federal funding to protect the city from flooding, said City Manager Jack Schnirman, a Democrat. City residents “are justifiably afraid,” Schnirman said. Many builders say they are taking action to allay those fears. “I’m not going to speak to global warming and things of that nature,” Graziose said. “[But] we’ve seen more storms in the last 25 years than we did when we were kids, so as a builder we’ve got to address them head on.”

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump yesterday pushed away more critics of his policies and response to the violence at a pro-white rally in Virginia a week ago by canceling his participation in the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony. After two of the five artists being honored said they would boycott the pre-ceremony White House reception because of his policies, Trump and first lady Melania Trump chose to skip the Kennedy Center Honors event in December. “The president and first lady have decided not to participate in this year’s activities to allow the honorees to celebrate without any political distraction,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. Trump’s action follows a tumultuous week in which he dissolved advisory panels on manufacturing, infrastructure and the arts after several members quit to protest his equivocation on denouncing the neo-Nazis whose rally in Charlottesville led to the death of a woman. The American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, Salvation Army and five other major charities last week also canceled future fundraising events at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s “Winter White House” in Palm Beach, Florida, some citing his Charlottesville comments, The Washington Post reported.

El Salvador’s cardinal visits Nassau jail BY BART JONES

bart.jones@newsday.com

El Salvador’s first cardinal made a dramatic visit yesterday to the Nassau County jail before celebrating Masses for hundreds of Latino parishioners in Suffolk and offering a message of hope in the fight against gang violence. Wide-eyed inmates in orange jumpsuits and sneakers turned their heads in surprise as Cardinal José Gregorio Rosa Chávez entered the East Meadow lockup’s cement-walled chapel. Rosa Chávez, whose threeday visit to Long Island started Friday, spoke to about 50 inmates gathered for a morning service. “I’m very happy to be here with you and share this moment with you,” the cardinal said in Spanish, as Rockville Centre Auxiliary Bishop Nelson Perez translated. “In this jail there is a chapel,” Rosa Chávez said. “Christ lives among you.” Sheriff Michael Sposato, who oversees the jail, called the visit — a first for a cardinal — a “great honor.”

The male inmates “couldn’t believe it,” Sposato said afterward. “Not one person could believe there was a cardinal here.” Two inmates were given the opportunity to address Rosa Chávez from a podium. “We would like you to know that we are working on promoting a culture of life, brotherhood and peace behind these walls,” said one of the inmates, whose name was withheld. Some of those behind bars, the man said, were “attempting to convert our hearts, minds and souls and to be better human beings.” Rosa Chávez was accompanied by local church leaders, including Bishop John Barres, spiritual leader of Long Island’s 1.5 million Catholics; Perez, who was recently named bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland; and Auxiliary Bishop Robert Brennan of the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

‘Couldn’t believe it’

El Salvador’s first Cardinal Rosa Chávez hugs an inmate at Nassau jail, where he said church leaders came “not as judges but as pastors.” Chávez greeted each prisoner as they entered the chapel, asked what country they were from and gave each a brief hug. Rosa Chávez, who long served as a parish priest, said afterward that while he hopes the jail serves as a place of rehabilitation and “conversion,” he also sends a message of “solidarity” to the families of victims of violence by the MS-13 gang. The gang operates in both El Salvador and the United States, and has sent a wave of terror through Long Island’s Latino community with a string of brutal murders.

The cardinal said he and the other church leaders came to the jail “not as judges but as pastors” who he hopes will help those behind bars rethink the paths they have taken. “You can see the joy in their faces,” he said in an interview. “It has been a morning to communicate hope.” Rosa Chávez repeated comments he made Friday on the first full day of his visit to Long Island that police repression of MS-13 is not the way to solve the gang problem, at least in his homeland of El Salvador. “When a response is repres-

sive it puts the victimizers against the wall and they become more savage, and that’s what is happening in El Salvador,” he said. “The gangs react by killing police officers and their families. That escalation indicates that is not the way to go.” After his jail visit, Rosa Chávez went to St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School in West Islip to celebrate a Mass with several hundred people. In comments before the service, the cardinal urged people to study more and stated how electronic devices sometimes make communication in families

more difficult. He said one pastor he knows in El Salvador tells parishioners, “Shut off your phone so you can listen to God.”

Hailed as exemplary

Many in the crowd were thrilled to see Rosa Chávez. “We are so happy — we came together to see the cardinal,” said Ramona Garcia, a native of the Dominican Republic who traveled with about 20 fellow members of a parish in Port Jefferson. Speaking in Spanish, she called Rosa Chávez “lo maximo,” or “the best.” Jose Flores, 45, a native of El

Powerball at $541M level BY DEON J. HAMPTON

deon.hampton@newsday.com

The numbers drawn last night for the Powerball jackpot were 17, 19, 39, 43 and 68. The Powerball was 13. Powerball hopefuls on Long Island were already spending the money they’ve yet to win before the drawing. “I’d buy a bunch of cars. And a house to store the cars, but I wouldn’t care about the house so much,” said Joey Occhiuto, 36, of Melville. He purchased five tickets yesterday at a convenience store off Route 110. The $541 million jackpot is the fifth-largest in history, lottery officials said, but the odds of winning were 1 in 292 million. The drawing was held at 10:59 last night. Phillip Calandra of New Hyde Park said he bought a ticket because he wanted in on the excitement.

Calandra, 62, said he’d donate at least $1 million of his winnings to help children with cancer — after wiping out his credit card debt. “If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be,” he said of the grand prize. “That’s the chance you take.” Becky Paper, 27, of Plainview bought her ticket at a 7-Eleven in Hicksville yesterday afternoon and immediately began dreaming of riches. “I’d pay back my student loans and money I owe to family,” she said. She quickly added: “I’d retire early.” The jackpot has an estimated cash value of more than $340.1 million before taxes. Powerball is sold in 47 U.S. jurisdictions. Players have to choose five white balls ranging from 1 to 69, as well as a red Powerball from a separate field numbered 1 through 26. To win the jackpot, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.

Rosa Chávez wraps up his visit today with Masses at Our Lady of Loretto parish in Hempstead and Kellenberg Memorial High School in Uniondale. He was invited to the Diocese of Rockville Centre to celebrate being named cardinal by Pope Francis and help address concerns over gang violence and an immigration crackdown. Long Island is home to an estimated 100,000 Salvadorans.

In remarks at the start of the Mass, he referred to the gang violence that has wracked the community and read the names of recent victims of that violence. “I am here with the bishops to say you are not alone,” he told the congregation in Spanish. The cardinal also said families are responsible for their children, and creating a home where there is peace. He said it is more important for parents to spend time with their children than to make money. During the part of the Mass

Suffolk County police arrested seven people and detained two others on immigration holds during a raid of two Patchogue bars they said were MS-13 hangouts. Suffolk police and the state liquor authority raided Cuscatlon Sport Bar & Grill at 290 E. Main St. and at El Capitan Sports Bar at 125 Medford Ave. about 1 a.m. yesterday, police said. Both bars were condemned and shut down because of unsafe conditions and structural issues, police said. Suffolk police Commissioner Timothy Sini said the bars were targeted as public nuisances, where gang members were known to gather. “Wherever MS-13 hangs out, we want them to be uncomfortable and not able to do business,” Sini said. “In

case they haven’t gotten the message, they’re not welcome here.” Police made two arrests at Cuscatlon for an outstanding warrant and possession of marijuana. The bar was issued nine summonses by the Brookhaven fire marshal, six violations by the Brookhaven Town Building Department, eight violations by the State Liquor Authority and 12 citations by Suffolk police. The El Capitan bar was given 15 citations by the State Liquor Authority, nine summonses by the Patchogue fire marshal and eight violations by Suffolk police. Police arrested two men for unlawfully serving as security guards, a man and a woman on outstanding bench warrants and one man on drug charges. Two people were handed over to Homeland Security on immigration violations.

Salvador who lives in Amityville, said: “For me, it is an honor to be present with a fellow countryman.” Rosa Chávez “is an example for everyone,” he said in Spanish, “not just for the Salvadorans but for everyone who wants to follow Christ.” In the evening, the cardinal celebrated Mass for at least 700 people in St. Anne Roman Catholic Church in Brentwood, one of the largest Latino parishes on Long Island. Those in the packed church applauded loudly when Rosa Chávez entered.

BOSTON — Thousands of demonstrators chanting antiNazi slogans converged yesterday on downtown Boston in a boisterous repudiation of white nationalism, dwarfing a small group of conservatives who cut short their planned “free speech rally” a week after a gathering of hate groups led to bloodshed in Virginia. Counterprotesters marched through the city to historic Boston Common, where many gath-

Police vans later escorted the conservatives out of the area, and angry counterprotesters scuffled with armed officers trying to maintain order. Members of the Black Lives Matter movement later protested on the Common, where a Confederate flag was burned and protesters pounded on the sides of a police vehicle. Boston Commissioner William Evans said 27 arrests were made — mostly for disorderly conduct while some were for assaulting police officers. Officials said the rallies drew about 40,000 people. President Donald Trump applauded the people in Boston

who he said were “speaking out” against bigotry and hate. Trump added in a Twitter message that “Our country will soon come together as one!” Organizers of the event, which had been billed as a “Free Speech Rally,” had publicly distanced themselves from the neoNazis, white supremacists and others who fomented violence in Charlottesville on Aug. 12. A woman was killed at that Unite the Right rally, and many others were injured, when a car plowed into counterdemonstrators. Yesterday’s showdown was mostly peaceable, and after demonstrators dispersed, a picnic atmosphere took over with

stragglers banging on bongo drums and playing reggae music. The Boston Free Speech Coalition, which organized the event, said it has nothing to do with white nationalism or racism and its group is not affiliated with the Charlottesville rally organizers in any way. Rallies in other cities around the country each attracted hundreds of people showing their opposition to white supremacist groups. Counterprotesters marched through New Orleans, some carrying signs that read “White People Against White Supremacy” and “Black Lives Matter.” In Atlanta, a diverse crowd

College application crunchtime is just around the corner, and the number of rankings that compare postsecondary institutions nationwide has grown exponentially, flooding families with information and fueling an intense search process that in some school districts begins before high school. Long Island’s college-bound students and their families have access to more and more publications that use multiple data points to assess 4,000-plus public and private colleges, their students, campus, faculty and alumni. Driving the phenomenon is a multifaceted industry aimed at matching students with institutions. Since the Great Recession, many of the newer formulas that are used to rank schools measure cost, value and student debt — shifting away from brand name, athletics and tradition, although those remain important metrics. The rankings — from U.S. News & World Report, one of the oldest, to College Factual, among the youngest — hold the potential to change a school’s marketing and recruitment strategy, affect alumni donations and, sometimes, send a message to college administrators about areas in need of improvement. “The best measure is what happens to your students when they graduate. This is what everyone is challenging colleges and universities to do right now,” Molloy College President Drew Bogner said. “Is it worth the tuition? It’s not worth the tuition if you can’t see some return on your investment. And I don’t just mean getting a highpaying job. I’m talking about a fulfilling career and becoming a contributing member of society.” Molloy, a 5,000-student

Catholic college in Rockville Centre, was named No. 1 on Money magazine’s “Value AllStars” list in the August 2016 issue. The distinction was featured on the school’s marketing materials and banners across the campus and used as a conversation starter with parents, and sometimes students. “I was lucky enough to have two older siblings who have gone through the college search process, so we have the big books of ‘best schools.’ Narrowing down is the hard part,” said Gracie Smyth, 16, a rising senior at the Ursuline School in New Rochelle. After a tour of the Molloy campus, she sat with her parents poring over lists and catalogs. “The first thing you think about is cost, of course, because it is all you hear about,” said her mother, Geraldine Smyth, 54, a registered nurse who grew up in Ireland, where the college selection process is different. “I never really cared [about] the name of the college, but what’s happening inside the walls and behind the gates.” On Money’s most recent list, published this month, the school stands at No. 3. With a tuition sticker price of $29,110 for the 2017-18 school year, Molloy is considered a bargain when compared with private institutions charging more than $45,000. Its largest academic program — nursing — prepares graduates for a steady career in a high-demand field in the metropolitan area.

Data points aplenty

The magazine, which began ranking schools in 2015, measures universities and colleges whose graduates performed better than expected based upon their backgrounds, according to a note in the publication. Analysts look at 2,400 schools and use a formula of about 27 data points from publicly available sources, identifying the top 700 that provide value for tuition dollars.

Jill Goldberg helps Maddy Dowbak, left, and Ashley Monroe, both 17, at Syosset’s “College Boot Camp” ways to upward mobility.” While Chetty focused on midtier schools, the study marks SBU’s admissions as highly competitive and very difficult, using several common measures. U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges” edition, which first hit newsstands in 1983, has faced competition for some time. Other traditional college guides, such as Princeton Review and Barron’s, also have been on the scene for years. But looking at college with an eye toward investment value has changed the market. Publications including The Economist, Money, Forbes, Worth, The Washington Monthly, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today treat the college search as a consumer activity. Online newcomers to the scene — College Factual, Niche, Parchment and College Confidential — have categories that break down campuses based on diversity, activities, academic programs and most support for veterans and nontraditional students, such as those who change careers later in life. Of course, not all of the rankings include every Long Island institution. For example, Webb

‘What’s in a ranking?’

On a sunny, 80-degree Friday morning in early August, students turned up at Syosset High School just after 8 a.m. to get a jump-start on their applications. The high school held a “College Boot Camp,” with guidance counselors hosting rising seniors for semiprivate coaching on specific elements of their college applications. In Syosset, the conversation about college and furthering students’ postsecondary education begins in kindergarten, ac-

dent validation.” Stony Brook, a state university with 25,000 undergraduate and graduate students, fared well in a unique study that compared colleges on the ability to raise the socioeconomic level of students above that of their parents. The study, released in January, pulled data from federal tax returns and the U.S. Department of Education to issue “mobility report cards” for various colleges and universities, both public and private. The findings put SBU at No. 8 on the list of the top 10 institutions that improved the social mobility of students. The City University of New York system, California State University, Los Angeles and two campuses of the University of Texas joined Stony Brook on that list. “There are a lot of midtier schools that admit a lot of lowincome kids and have very good outcomes,” said economics professor Raj Chetty, a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and one of the study’s authors. “Those are the colleges we should be looking to as models as we think about how to give more kids path-

cording to school officials. By sixth grade, students are introduced to Naviance, a popular career-readiness and college search website. The company partners with nearly every K-12 system on Long Island and is a major provider nationally. Syosset guidance counselor Jill Goldberg said having information from college rankings has helped both students and parents, but there are negative side effects. “The downside is that it is causing anxiety for — literally — the whole country. The rankings. What’s in a ranking?” Goldberg said. “There are amazing schools that don’t have that ranking title. In this district, so many kids have the eye on that prize, and everyone seems to think they have to have that name recognition.” Ninety-nine percent of Syosset’s graduates go to college, with anywhere from 6 percent to 10 percent attending Ivy League or “top-tier” institutions, Assistant Principal Christopher Ruffini said. There are about 570 seniors in the 2017-18 school year. Ruffini said the College Boot Camp will help ease the burden in the beginning of the senior year. “We are very fortunate; we have a very supportive community. We wouldn’t be able to do this in the summertime if we didn’t,” he said. Kim Oppelt, education and outreach manager at Naviance, said the rankings are really “popping up all over” and can overwhelm seniors and their parents, who probably didn’t use the internet when they were applying to colleges themselves. Today’s students have many more options. There are numbered lists, each using different methodology to determine the top 10 or 100 or 1,000 schools. Oppelt said the parameters around each of the rankings and guides can be drastically different because they tend to reflect the priorities of their readership. “What might make the top of the list of U.S. News & World

Bogner said he had “no idea” Molloy would be on the Money magazine list along with Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts, Manhattan College in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, and Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. Some rankings use a combination of public data, stats reported by the colleges, and surveys of their students. For a long time, Bogner had been frustrated by the traditional metrics that parked Ivy League and other big-name schools at the top year after year. The new ranking criteria help lesser-known regional institutions without “selective school” cachet, nationally televised sports teams or celebrity alums. “I don’t think any of the leading institutions in the country have gotten where they are by managing to the rankings,” said Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley. “We don’t change a lot based on the rankings. Having said that, there are some measures we look at, particularly on outcomes, and we pay attention to them to the extent that they give us indepen-

Institute, a competitive, specialty undergraduate program that grants a degree in naval architecture and marine engineering, doesn’t have enough enrolled students to appear in many of the rankings. With an enrollment of 92 men and women, the private Glen Cove college provides its students with full-tuition scholarships. U.S. News & World Report is expected to release its 2018 rankings on Sept. 12, just in time for the college application frenzy that kicks into high gear in the fall. Admission fairs, campus tours and admissions information nights dot the calendar in September, October and November. In addition, the Common Application, accepted by more than 730 colleges, went live on its website Aug. 1. Some schools will require multipart applications and supplemental essays. Many students apply under Early Decision or Early Action plans — committing to their most beloved school before the pack, in an effort to gain an edge in admission. And yet, those able to pay application fees of $50 to $100 apiece will submit multiple applications. (It’s not unheard-of for a student to apply to 20 or 30 schools to hedge his or her bets.)

Report might be at the bottom of another,” Oppelt said. Priyanka Gera, 16, a rising senior at Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School, said she is likely to apply to 10 colleges but hasn’t finalized her list. Her grade-point average puts her in the top 5 percent of her class and she knows she wants to stay close to home, she said. “It really doesn’t matter to me whether a school is in the top 100 of any list. I really don’t think a ranking matters. I occasionally see those pop up, but I really don’t base any decision on those,” Gera said. Instead, she wants to be sure she can see herself on a school’s campus for four years. She said she feels a bit behind in her search because she’s been consumed all summer working in a research lab in Manhattan. “At this point it’s getting a little stressful.

Another student at Plainview-Old Bethpage, Luke Petrsoric, had a slightly different take. “Rankings definitely play a factor,” said Petrsoric, 16, of Old Bethpage. “I’m looking at business, so I’m going to look at what are the top business schools. But I’m going to narrow it down, and go and visit,

Guidance counselors and college consultants advise students to visit schools to get a feel for the campus life. At Plainview-Old Bethpage, sophomores go on a two-day college tour at the end of January. Each year, the school selects a different region and tries to hit large universities and small liberal arts colleges in one sweep. The program is in its fourth year and takes about 50 students. One of the oldest college tour programs on Long Island, occurring each fall, takes students to visit historically black colleges. William Mills, 58, a Central Islip resident who works in the insurance industry, volunteers with the Wyandanch chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., a nonprofit. He coordinates the campus tour, founded 36 years ago by members of the Lakeview Civic Association.

Each October, the group charters three buses to take 100 to 150 students and chaperones to a different region on a visit of schools that have included Howard University in Washington, D.C.; Morgan State University in Baltimore; and Hampton University in Virginia. “You can go wherever you want to go,” Mills said he tells the participants. “But know your history and know your heritage. Going on a college tour is a great experience, no matter what campus you visit.” Mills said the group is a mix of students from Long Island and New York City schools, varying in their academic strength and ability to pay. The tour is open to anyone and occasionally will have students from other states. Donors provide financial assistance to those who don’t have the means to pay, but most of the students and families pay the full cost of $675 for seven days, which includes some meals. Even with all the rankings, guides, data and tours, colleges are institutions — and it’s hard

to look behind their walls, most experts agreed. “They are all very big businesses; it’s very difficult to see what’s going on. Colleges are quite opaque,” said Bill Phelan, co-founder and CEO of College Factual, an education technology company and provider of data-driven college rankings. College Factual uses more than 1,500 data points per college per year and breaks down the individual academic programs using a variety of publicly reported data. Started in 2005, the company, based in upstate Troy, has 12 employees. The website sees about 800,000 to 1 million visitors monthly, Phelan said. The biggest problem, he said, is searching for a college based on a ranking without understanding that success has more to do with whether or not the student will persist in a career postcollege. Identifying individual strengths and interests early on is key. “Don’t look at the colleges. Start by looking at your child,” Phelan added.

Coach accepts removal BY JIM BAUMBACH

jim.baumbach@newsday.com

The Sachem East High School football coach who was reassigned Friday pending an investigation into the death of one of his players said yesterday that he is “heartbroken by the loss of a fine young man” and accepts the district’s decision to remove him as coach. Mark Wojciechowski, in his first comments since the death of junior Joshua Mileto on Aug. 10, told Newsday in a statement that he supports the school district’s decision to appoint an interim coach while it investigates the circumstances surrounding Mileto’s death during a log-carrying training exercise. “I fully understand and accept the district’s need to conduct a full and fair investigation,” Wojciechowski said. “I support it, and at this time, it makes sense for me to step

aside and accept the Sachem Superinreassignment to give tendent Kenneth the school district Graham announced full latitude to do its on Friday night that work.” Wojciechowski and Mileto, 16, died an unnamed assisafter a log that he tant coach were reand four other playmoved from the ers were carrying team while the disover their heads durtrict continues to ing an exercise fell Wojciechowski “gather the facts surand struck his head. rounding this devasMileto and dozens of other tating event.” players were taking part in a Anthony Gambino, who was summer football camp on previously the team’s defensive school grounds that was run by coordinator under Wojthe Sachem East coaches but ciechowski, is taking over as infunded by the Sachem East terim head coach.

The football team began practice yesterday, four days after the funeral service for their teammate drew hundreds of people, including many in football jerseys. But it was conducted without their longtime coach. Wojciechowski grew up in the Sachem area, played high school football at Sachem before the district split into two high schools, won Newsday’s Hansen Award in 1985 as Suffolk’s best player and has been a football coach in the district for about two decades. He has been the head football coach at Sachem East since 2011. “I wish my student-athletes and the entire Sachem football program the best in the months ahead,” Wojciechowski added yesterday. Sachem East’s first game of this season is scheduled for Sept. 9 at home against Lindenhurst. It was pushed back from

Sept. 1 so that the team has enough time to get the statemandated 15 practices completed before its first scheduled game. Tom Combs, executive director of Section XI, which governs Suffolk County high school sports, said the other football coaches in Sachem East’s division had no problem manipulating the already set schedule “as a way to help out.” High schools throughout New York State officially began practice last Monday. Sachem East’s first practice yesterday was closed to the media. Graham, the district superintendent, added in his statement on Friday night that “the administration and athletic director will closely monitor the practices and the district will continue to offer support services to the family, team and entire student body.”

Cops shot across U.S. ] 2 officers killed, 2 others injured in Florida

] 2 troopers wounded, 1 critically, in Pennsylvania

AP / RED HUBER

Two officers were killed and two others were injured in two separate Florida shootings that took place Friday night, outbreaks of violence against police that reverberated across the nation. In Pennsylvania, two state troopers were shot and a suspect killed outside a smalltown store south of Pittsburgh on Friday night. One trooper was critically injured. The first Florida shooting happened in Kissimmee, just south of Orlando. Officers were responding to a report of suspicious activity in a high-crime area when they were taken by surprise, officials said. The second shooting, about 90 minutes later in Jacksonville, left two officers injured. Police were dispatched to deal with an armed suicidal man when he came out firing. Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said yesterday that Officers Michael Fox and Kevin Jarrell are in stable condition after Friday night’s confrontation with an armed Derrick Brabham, who was killed by the officers. The shootings were “deflating to law enforcement and heartbreaking,” Kissimmee Chief Jeff O’Dell told reporters, shortly after he announced that Officer Matthew Baxter had died of his injuries. Sgt. Sam Howard died yesterday at a hospital. Suspect Everett Miller faces a charge of first-degree murder for the killing of Baxter. Authorities hadn’t yet said what charges he could face for Howard’s death. During a patrol late Friday of a neighborhood with a history of drug activity, Baxter was “checking out” three people, including Miller, when the officer got into a scuffle with Miller. Howard, his sergeant, responded as backup, O’Dell said. The officers didn’t have an opportunity to return fire.

Miguel Velez prays at a makeshift memorial yesterday in Kissimmee, Fla. Two officers were taken by surprise and fatally shot Friday.

They weren’t wearing body cameras. The police chief said Miller was taken to jail wearing Baxter’s handcuffs. Miller, 45, is a Marine veteran and was recently involuntarily committed for a mental evaluation by the Osceola County Sher-

iff’s Office. The investigation shows that Miller had made threats to law enforcement on Facebook, O’Dell said. Baxter, 27, had been with the Kissimmee Police Department for three years. He was married to another Kissimmee police officer and they have four children.

Howard, 36, has served for 10 years. He and his wife have one child, O’Dell said. In Pennsylvania, State Police Capt. Joseph Ruggery said at a news conference yesterday that the trooper who was critically injured remained hospitalized at Ruby Memorial Hospital in

Morgantown, West Virginia, but is expected to recover. “His prognosis is good,” Ruggery said. And in a suburb of Birmingham, Alabama, yesterday, a suspect was fatally shot and an officer had minor injuries after a struggle. Florida Gov. Rick Scott tweeted he was “heartbroken.” The officers were fatally shot in a district where the top prosecutor says she will no longer seek the death penalty. Scott issued an executive order last night removing the case from State Attorney Aramis Ayala and reassigning it.

The solar eclipse is upon us, at last. We have all you need to know to get ready for this celestial phenomenon. BY PATRICIA KITCHEN

patricia.kitchen@newsday.com

Here it is, right on the doorstep — the day that’s to bring a hint of sunset smack in the middle of the afternoon. At a little past 1:20 p.m. tomorrow, as Long Islanders are working, shopping, running errands and cavorting on the beach, the moon is going to start slowly moving in front of the sun. By around 2:45 p.m., about 70 percent of the sun will be covered by the moon, which then starts gradually moving away, until around 4 p.m. when the sun’s full brilliance is restored. That’s according to TimeandDate.com, a site that provides data on time, calendars and astronomical phenomena. For Long Island it’s to be a partial eclipse of the sun, with the total blackout of this rare phenomenon to be viewed from a narrow strip 70 miles or so wide that runs diagonally from Oregon across to South Carolina. It’s to that area that hordes of eclipse chasers, plenty of Long Islanders included, have been flocking. Astronomy buffs have been aquiver with anticipation, but “I’m most excited about seeing how excited other people are getting,” said Thomas C. Bruckner, a professor and chairman of Nassau Community College’s physical sciences department. He’ll be giving a safe-viewing presentation to about 300 new students who will be attending orientation and taking a campus tour at eclipse time.

Just to give a sense of its novelty, the last time a total solar eclipse swept the country from coast to coast was in 1918, according to GreatAmericanEclipse.com, a site featuring eclipse maps and animations. Weather looks to be accommodating, with mostly sunny skies expected for eclipse time on Long Island, according to the forecast from the National Weather Service late yesterday afternoon. If a few clouds were to arrive, they would be mostly of the fair-weather cumulus variety, nothing that would interfere with eclipse viewing on a “mostly sunny, nice day,” said Jim Connolly, weather service meteorologist based in Upton. Sue Rose of East Meadow, a retired air traffic controller and president of the Amateur Observers’ Society of New York, reminds Long Islanders that viewing 30 percent of a really bright sun is still going to be bright. That’s why special eclipse glasses — not sunglasses or binoculars and such — are necessary for viewing the eclipse from beginning to end, to protect eyes from damage, said Rose, who set out days ago for a drive to Wyoming to experience totality. Indeed, even a quick glance could mean “permanent damage to the retina,” said Dr. John M. Alexander,

retina specialist with the ophthalmology department at Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow. Any camera, telescope or pair of binoculars you might want to view through must also each have its own special filter, he said. Still, those official eclipse glasses are hard to come by at this late date. The American Astronomical Society has a list of reputable vendors on its website, but as of last week most of those vendors had sold out. Any glasses that you do come by should show verification of meeting the ISO 12312-2 safety standard, with ISO standing for International Organization for Standardization, according to the American Astronomical Society site. Long Islanders looking for safe viewing options should check for events at places like museums, libraries and nature centers, but space could be limited.

For Madeline Burns, 7, safety comes first with eclipse glasses.

GOP contest certain in 6th POLITICS & POWER Rick Brand

rick.brand@newsday.com

y the time Frank Vetro finally got to Café Spiga in Mount Sinai last week for his own fundraiser, the place was nearly empty. But it didn’t matter. After a grueling six-hour court hearing at the Suffolk Board of Elections in Yaphank, he survived an onslaught of objections to more than 900 petition signatures he filed to qualify for the Sept. 12 GOP primary ballot. Justice John Leo found Vetro had 46 more than the minimum 500 required. “They tried every trick in the book to wipe me out,” said Vetro, 45, noting that backers of GOP designee Gary Pollakusky objected to all but 117 of his signatures.

Vetro, left, and Pollakusky Vetro and Pollakusky are battling for the right to take on Democratic Legis. Sarah Anker, who won her 6th District seat in 2015 by a scant 16 votes — making her Suffolk Republicans’ top target in November. Two years ago Pollakusky managed the campaign of Steven Tricarico, who narrowly lost to Anker. Republicans last week also rolled out endorsements for Pollakusky from Brookhaven Town Supervisor Edward P. Romaine, Assemb. Anthony Palumbo (R-New Suf-

folk) and town board member Jane Bonner, who all represent the district. He already has the Conservative and Reform parties’ ballot lines, assuring him a place on the November ballot. Pollakusky, 41, a marketing consultant from Rocky Point, said he is not focused on the primary but rather on economic issues, including the county’s crushing deficit, and the need to lower taxes and spur economic development. “I’m not looking at Mr. Vetro; I’ll let the public decide if he brings anything to the table,” he said. “The county has enough problems to rail against.” Pollakusky also cites his work as head of the North Shore Community Association, which seeks to bring an antiopioid curriculum to local schools, and as a board member for the town industrial development agency. Vetro, of Miller Place, principal of the Hope House School

for troubled youth, believes his experience working with troubled youths and as a real estate agent make him most qualified to deal with problems of gangs, opioids and high property taxes. “If you want to market a business then Gary’s your guy,” said Vetro, “but only one guy has the hands-on experience I have, and I’ll match it against anyone.” Vetro has faced accusations in the past. In 2006, while high school principal in Hampton Bays, he was charged with seven misdemeanor counts of second-degree aggravated harassment after police say he made sexually explicit calls to an ex-girlfriend and former co-workers. Vetro resigned from the school and later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge — disorderly conduct. He continues to deny the harassment charges that he says “almost destroyed my life”

but made him stronger in the long run. He said he has a lawsuit pending against the county and his accusers, and the experience has made him a fighter against corruption. He favors establishing an integrity unit to monitor the district attorney’s office. Pollakusky declined to comment on the issue, saying “the public will do its due diligence” to make the best choice in the election. Jesse Garcia, Brookhaven Republican chairman, said he expects Pollakusky to win. “We’ve always been prepared for a primary,” he said. “It will help us connect with our base early and it will give us big momentum for November.” But Rich Schaffer, Suffolk Democratic chairman, expects a dogfight. “Vetro got the signatures of more than 900 Republican voters. It clearly shows the party’s nominee does not have all the support they claim,” he said.

The officer noticed “a strong odor of marijuana” during the stop, police said, and Johnson, along with a female passenger, 21, were removed from the vehicle. A “clear bag containing a brown/green leafy substance” belonging to Johnson was found by the officer, police said. The officer also found Johnson in possession of “multiple” counterfeit $20 bills, according to the news release. Johnson is charged with four counts of first-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, four counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, two counts of possession of marijuana, aggravated unlicensed operation and various violations of state vehicle and traffic law.

No arraignment information was available. In each robbery, Flinn ordered clerks at gunpoint to empty their cash registers, Sini said. “As in many cases, he committed crimes to steal money to fuel his addiction. He was a heroin addict,” Sini said. “He’s lucky to be alive and better off in handcuffs.” In a polite twist, Sini said that Flinn told clerks “please” and “thank you” at each establishment he targeted. Detectives identified Flinn by a unique tattoo on his right hand and through business surveillance footage. He was also wanted on parole for four prior felony convictions of possession of a controlled substance, burglary and grand larceny.

North Hempstead Town held a celebration of summer yesterday with food, music and fun at the beach, a tradition known as BeachFeast. The fourth annual BeachFeast drew hundreds of people to the North Hempstead Beach Park in Port Washington from noon to 5 p.m. for the seasonal celebration. “We have a great turnout here,” Town Clerk Wayne Wink said yesterday afternoon. “This brings out the best of the town.” Attendees danced to music from local bands including 45 RPM, Tiger Rose and Kamellot, and walked among vintage cars owned by local collectors. Between sets, the crowds lounged on the beach or in the park’s shadier spots, sipping beer from Port Washington’s Craft Beer Cellar and wine from Mineola’s Murphy’s Bar and Grill. “I’m from Long Beach and I wish we had something like this there,” said Katherine Mobilia, 22, as she prepared to dig into a funnel cake with her boyfriend, Justin Melhado. Melhado, 30, of Bellmore, said he was enjoying the

music and the beer, though he had yet to try the festival’s culinary offerings. “We were looking for something to do outside,” he said. “We wanted something at the beach and this checked all the boxes.” Mr. Smith’s Seafood and More II dished up fried shrimp and fish from its truck while others such as Rosie’s Grilled Cheese churned out sandwiches and Crazy Cakes offered something sweeter — coffee and cupcakes. Two ice cream trucks provided cooler refreshments. A town spokeswoman said organizers expected nearly 1,000 people to show up for the free event, though parking cost $10 cash or $7 if paid by credit or debit card. Game stations provided entertainment for the kids, with giant Connect Four and chessboards set up on the pavement. Jack Hong and his son Tristan, 9, engaged in a competitive game of cornhole, Tristan lobbing sand bags with one hand while holding a hot dog in the other. “Today is a family day,” said Hong, 42, of Port Washington. “The weather is good and it’s a beautiful beach.”

Generating buzz about bees and

Bees on a wildflower during the National Honey Bee Day celebration at Bethpage State Park yesterday.

Leah Nakamori is afraid of bees, but yesterday the 8-yearold from Farmingdale was planting a flower in a garden at Bethpage State Park as hundreds of the insects buzzed around her. She has learned that bees — which are declining in population worldwide — are a critical part of the ecosystem and need flowers to survive. “I feel like this helps us get food,” she said of her help in ex-

panding the garden. “Without bees, we’d have nothing to eat.” Leah joined other kids and adults in planting dozens of wildflowers at the park’s pollinator garden to mark National Honey Bee Day. She and her Girl Scout troop helped plant 1,000 flowers in the spring. The Bethpage garden began in 2015 and continues to expand, this year with the help of a grant from Bayer AG’s crop science division. The German company, with U.S. headquarters in North Carolina, sponsored yesterday’s event and oth-

ers in California and Illinois. Beekeeper Grace Mehl was on hand to explain the importance of bees and how wildflowers that Long Islanders can plant in their own gardens can help feed them. About a third of the food we eat is produced with the help of honeybees, she said. “If you did not have pollinators, you would not have [most of] your fruits and vegetables, even things like onions that you wouldn’t think need bees,” she said. Mehl and fellow beekeeper Moira Alexander care for five

For Mary Jo Gottschalk, Riverhead’s annual Polish Town Festival, which kicked off yesterday, has been a longstanding tradition for her and her family. Gottschalk, of Wading River, was participating in her 28th festival as she stood inside the food tent serving packed lines of people while her husband, Rob Gottschalk, their children and grandchildren also helped out as event volunteers. “They’ve been here since 8 a.m. . . . and they’re loving it. They’re absolutely loving it,” Gottschalk, a civic association member, said of her family. Hundreds of festivalgoers — many wearing the red and white of Poland’s national flag — flocked to Pulaski Street near Polonaise Park to enjoy live polka music, a street fair and food at the 43rd annual festival, which organizers said was expected to draw several thousand people during the weekend. The two-day celebration,

which continues today from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., is hosted by the Polish Town Civic Association. Adam Biedrzycki, 42, of Riverhead, was spending his 15th year at the festival with his wife, Barbara Biedrzycki, and their 9-year-old son, Brian. The Biedrzyckis are of Polish descent, and Brian, sporting a Polish soccer jersey similar to what his father was wearing, said he liked seeing his heritage on display everywhere. “It’s cool for people to follow along, even if they’re not from the culture,” said Brian, adding that he was having a great time — though he wished the amusement rides weren’t missing from this year’s event. Local politicians including state Sen. Kenneth LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), Suffolk County Legis. Al Krupski (DCutchogue) and Riverhead Town Board members Jodi Giglio and John Dunleavy attended the event and presented a citation to the civic association.

It’s been 40 years since Burt Reynolds starred in “Smokey and the Bandit” and made driving a rig on the open highway seem like a cool way to make a living. That same year, only “Star Wars” sold more tickets. Now, trucking no longer captures the imagination of movie goers or, it turns out, the young and unemployed. Veteran drivers are leaving, and young people entering the workforce are put off by long hours away from home and the profession’s lowbrow image. The result is a U.S. trucking industry with high turnover and a dwindling number of new recruits. “The question is where we’ll be in five or 10 years,” said Steve Viscelli, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania

Two employees of elite universities charged in the fatal stabbing of a 26-year-old hair

and former driver. “If e-commerce goes up a lot and the introduction of autonomous vehicles is slow and the industry does not shift to millennials, we could see actual shortages 10 years out.” Most trucking companies have been able to make do, but as older truckers retire and an online-buying boom leads to surging deliveries, the fear is a driver shortage will spur delays and lost revenue. Offering generous signing bonuses, new technology and cozier cabs hasn’t done enough to overcome the aversion to lengthy times spent alone on the road. The industry is running out of time, with the baby boomer demographic nearing retirement and millennials continuing to skirt the sector. The annualized driver turnover rate at large truckload fleets was 74 percent in the first quarter and the industry was short about 48,000 drivers at the end of 2015. That shortage is expected to balloon to almost 175,000 by 2024, according to the American Trucking Associations.

“Every truckload carrier is always scrambling to fill their trucks,” Stephen Burks, an economist at the University of Minnesota Morris who used to be a driver, said in an interview. Brick Kepler, a recruiter from the Professional Drivers Academy in Milton, Pennsylvania, often gets the cold shoulder when visiting high schools in search of potential workers.“I don’t think people look at the trucking industry as the easy, glamorous, high-paying job they want,” he said. “It doesn’t appeal to the younger generation.” To boost recruitment and keep drivers invested in their jobs, Don Daseke, chief executive of specialized trucking operator Daseke Inc., is giving them free stock in the company that vests over five years. “It’s our way of showing our drivers that we respect them and they’re really important to us,” he said. According to the American Trucking Associations’ 2014 Driver Compensation Study, 48 percent of newly signed drivers received a signing bonus averaging $1,500. Some drivers sign up

for a company just long enough to get the bonus, then jump ship for another one — a practice operators are trying to limit by withholding payouts until drivers hit certain milestones. Timothy Judge, director of research at driver-retention consultant Stay Metrics, called such payouts “an act of desperation” and a poor long-term strategy. “What are you communicating to the drivers? That it’s all about the short-term,” he said. Raising salaries is another option, but it would cut into profit margins. The University of Pennsylvania’s Viscelli said companies would have to double driver pay — now about $41,000 — to

About 95 percent are men, according to Ellen Voie, chief executive officer of Women in Trucking. There’s been a growing push to make the job more appealing to women, such as by designing cabs that accommodate shorter bodies and hiring for regional routes that allow drivers to go home at night, Voie said.

Neo-Nazi march in Berlin blocked

] Extremists outnumbered 1987, but were forced to turn by 1,000 counterprotesters back after about a half-mile be] Rally planned where high-ranking Nazi killed self The Associated Press

BERLIN — Left-wing groups and Berlin residents prevented more than 500 far-right extremists from marching yesterday to the place where high-ranking Nazi official Rudolf Hess died 30 years ago. Police in riot gear kept the neo-Nazis and an estimated 1,000 counterprotesters apart as the two sides staged competing rallies in the German capital’s western district of Spandau. Far-right protesters had planned to march to the site of the former Spandau prison, where Hess hanged himself in

cause of a blockade by counterprotesters. After changing their route, the neo-Nazis, who had come from all over Germany and neighboring European countries, returned to Spandau’s main station for speeches amid jeers and chants of “Nazis go home!” and “You lost the war!” from counterprotesters. Authorities had imposed restrictions on the march to ensure that it passed peacefully. Organizers were told they couldn’t glorify Hess or the Nazi regime, carry weapons, drums or torches, and could bring only one flag for every 25 participants. Such restrictions are common in Germany and rooted in the experience of the prewar Weimar Republic, when opposing political groups would try

to forcibly interrupt their rivals’ rallies, resulting in frequent street violence. Police in Germany say they generally try to balance protesters’ rights to free speech and free assembly against the rights of counterdemonstrators and residents. The rules mean that the shields, helmets and batons carried by far-right and neoNazi protesters in Charlottesville wouldn’t be allowed in Germany. Openly anti-Semitic chants would also prompt German police to intervene. Neo-Nazi protesters yesterday were frisked and funneled through tents where police checked them for weapons, forbidden flags and tattoos showing symbols banned in Germany, such as the Nazi swastika. A number of farright protesters emerged from the tents with black tape covering their arms or legs.

IN BRIEF

Organizers imposed a number of their own rules on the marchers: they were encouraged to wear smart, white shirts and were told not to speak to the media. Among those demonstrating against the neo-Nazis was Jossa Berntje from the western city of Koblenz. The 64-year-old cited the clashes in Charlottesville and her parents’ experience of living under the Nazis as her reason for coming. “The rats are coming out of the sewers,” she said. “[President Donald] Trump has made it socially acceptable.” Hess, who received a life sentence at the Nuremberg trials for his role in planning World War II, died on Aug. 17, 1987. Allied authorities ruled his death a suicide, but Nazi sympathizers have long claimed he was killed and organize annual marches in his honor.

FINLAND Stabbings ‘likely terror act’

The knife attack in western Finland that left two people dead and seven others wounded is a “likely terror act,” Finland’s intelligence agency said yesterday, while police said Europol was investigating if it had any ties to attacks in Spain. The suspect — an 18-year-old Moroccan asylumseeker — was shot and wounded in the thigh by police during his rampage Friday in the city of Turku. He was hospitalized under guard — still in intensive care yesterday — and is being investigated for murder with possible terrorist intent, police said.

SPAIN Missing imam investigated

A missing imam and a house that exploded days ago became the focus yesterday of the investigation into an extremist cell responsible for deadly attacks in Barcelona and a nearby resort, as authorities narrowed in on who radicalized a group of young men in northeastern Spain. Investigators searched the home of Abdelbaki Es Satty, an imam who in June abruptly quit working at a mosque in the town of Ripoll, the home of the Islamic radicals behind the attacks that killed 14 people and wounded over 120. Police were trying to determine whether Es Satty was killed in a botched bomb-making operation on Wednesday, the eve of the Barcelona bloodshed.

A new vision for

The Hub

NEWSDAY, SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 2017

newsday.com

n the middle of the nation’s first suburb and one of its most affluent counties lie 77 acres of broken asphalt, a constant reminder of disappointment and unrealized potential. For decades, plans, ideas and hope have come and gone, and the Nassau Hub has remained an economic wasteland. Even now, with a renovated Nassau Coliseum on one side, and a Memorial Sloan Kettering outpatient cancer center under construction on another, most of the rest of the land remains empty, without a vision, or commitments from job-producing companies, or a comprehensive plan. The Hub’s development is critical to Long Island’s future, to Nassau County’s financial footing and to the housing, jobs and economic opportunity the region needs to maintain its pre-eminence. The Hub needs a jump-start in its redevelopment, but a report released last week by the Long Island Index asserts that Nassau’s current attempts lack the energy that comes from fresh thinking and new leadership. A landscape-changing vision on par with Levittown, the region’s first suburb, the Index’s report recommends creating a destination where residents can work, live and play, and that is walkable, with public transportation options. And it makes clear that this can’t be done without a financial commitment from both the private and public sectors. Those conclusions from the Long Island Index — a non-partisan project by the Rauch Foundation that gathers data,

issues findings, and encourages region-wide thinking on key local issues — are spot on. But it won’t be easy to make this Hub happen. The report recommends the creation of an “innovation district” that would include millions of square feet of housing, office space and facilities for research and development, but far less retail and hotel space than most previous efforts have suggested. It says an extensive public transit component must include improvements to existing bus service and new bus-rapid transit pathways that connect to the Long Island Rail Road. The Long Island Index’s effort is perhaps the most aspirational vision for the site since the Lighthouse Project was proposed in 2009. That alone is worth applause. After all, a few big regional dreams are inching toward reality — most recently, the LIRR’s third track, an effort the Index also studied, received approval to build. A vibrant center at the heart of Nassau County can happen. But the obstacles are significant. A lot must change to arrive at the Long Island of tomorrow.

o start, the proposals go beyond anything allowed by the Town of Hempstead, and it’s unclear whether town officials would support increased density overall and significantly more housing. Hempstead’s zoning for the site was approved in the wake of the failed Lighthouse Project, a $3.8 billion development proposed by former New York Islanders owner Charles Wang, who still owns a small stake in the team. After the town rejected Wang’s plans,

Artistic images from the Long Island Index report on the property Nassau County owns around the Coliseum suggest these scenes could be part of a future “innovation district.”

LONG ISLAND INDEX

BY THE EDITORIAL BOARD

LONG ISLAND INDEX

Recent report lays path forward for large area that has long been neglected

Hempstead’s new zone allowed up to 5.4 million square feet of development, including parking garages, the arena and up to 500 units of housing. The Long Island Index says 7.1 million square feet of development, including 2.2 million square feet of multifamily housing, is needed to attract companies and make a significant economic impact. That would likely be far more than 500 housing units, so there would be a need to rezone the property. Meanwhile, the site’s existing plans remain uncertain. Retail stores planned around the Coliseum have yet to be built, as Nassau Events Center Plaza, the company tasked with the job, figures out where to put two state-funded parking garages.

The bigger question mark, however, lies in the Long Island Index’s transit proposals. Expanding or rerouting Nassau Inter-County Express bus service is a good and simple starting point. But utilizing abandoned or barely used LIRR tracks as a dedicated bus rapid-transit route through neighborhoods like Garden City, as the Index proposes, will be contested and likely subject to years of studies and reviews. Nassau County’s previous suggestion to connect the Coliseum site to Mineola and Hempstead train stations via buses using existing roads might be an easier sell. Ultimately, the Index’s plan is just a blueprint of exciting possibilities, but the Hub will need a deep-pocketed developer and

the political leadership to shepherd it. And an innovation park must have the key ingredient — innovators who want to be part of emerging companies in biotech or software or something else — and who are willing to do that here.

he report restarts a longstalled conversation about the survival of Nassau County. It comes at an opportune time, as key county and town posts are up for election this fall. Residents should demand that candidates for county executive and legislature, as well as Hempstead supervisor and council, articulate their visions for the Hub. Do their ideas represent bold steps toward the future or a feeble clinging to the past?

“Enemy of the American people,” #DishonestMedia, #FakeNews. These are some of the insults hurled at journalists to discredit the work of news organizations. But several journalists have risked and sometimes given their lives to bring us stories that would not otherwise be told. At least three were killed in the past several years alone.

Humanity has a method for trying to prevent new technologies from getting out of hand: explore the possible negative consequences and come to some agreement on ways to mitigate them. New research, though, suggests that the pace of change could soon render this approach ineffective.

he path of totality. It’s a fascinating phrase, especially in the context of our troubled times. It conjures images of destruction, from bombs or verbal bombast. It evokes a sense of foreboding, set to a soundtrack of brooding synthesizers, jarring percussion and distant but ominous crowd roars. The path of totality actually is the 70-mile-wide strip of America that tomorrow will experience a total solar eclipse. It will take about four hours from its beginnings in Oregon to its end in South Carolina. But totality — the complete blockage of the sun by the moon — will last less than three minutes in any one place. If only that essence — the approaching and enveloping darkness, vanquished by a quick return of light — were part of a metaphor for a troubled nation. As with bygone eclipses, this one certainly will be a fun distraction, and lord knows we do need a fun distraction. Too bad its march will not be in slo-mo. The eclipse is bringing us together at a time when the country is crying out in vain for leadership to do just that. Crowds will be huge — but they’ll be gathering to celebrate, not protest. They’ll be bonded by their shared purpose, not rived by their differences. They’ll feel the intense emotions that come from the peculiar intimacy shared by strangers with a singular goal. What a glorious respite. People who have experienced a total solar eclipse describe it as being indescribable. You can’t understand it, they say, until you’ve experienced it. That’s something worth experiencing, with no media filters getting in the way. Some people cry — from joy and wonder, not fear or dread or pain or injury. Others scream, or

babble, or stare in awe — not because they’re dismayed by the unfathomable things they’re hearing but because they’re dumbfounded by the unfathomable things they’re seeing. It’s an adrenaline rush more powerful than the charge you get from a political rally, and not even the best camera can do it justice. The magic is in your own viewing of it, and in your memory. As darkness approaches, familiar objects turn strange and ordinary scenery becomes extraordinary in the new mix of light, color and contrast. News accounts of New York’s famed 1925 eclipse depicted skyscrapers “rising gaunt . . . like gray ghosts.” It’s not fake news, it’s simply something for which most of us have no frame of reference with which to compare. People say witnessing a total solar eclipse is life-changing. That would be great, greater for some than for others. I hope everyone, from the biggest of big cheeses to the smallest among us, has a chance to take it in. But I hope this eclipse is something more. I hope it teaches us to look at things differently, like the solar eclipse of 1919 did by allowing British astronomers to conduct an experiment confirming Einstein’s theory of general relativity, changing the world’s thinking about space and making Einstein a star. I hope it’s healing, like it was for a partially blind 64-year-old New Jersey man who said that looking directly at the 1925 eclipse restored his sight. On the chance that actually happened, would it be wrong to wish that some people in need of a vision correction abandon their glasses tomorrow? I hope we all stop, look up and wonder. I hope the amazing celestial show leads us to channel our better angels. I hope the glow lasts forever. But if it doesn’t, fear not. Another total solar eclipse is coming to the United States on April 8, 2024, with a path of totality stretching from Texas to Maine and right through upstate New York. That’s less than seven years away. We’ll be in the middle of presidential primaries.

Protest is legal, intimidation is not Rights of protesters, counterprotesters are more nuanced than black and white

BY NOAH FELDMAN

orally, the only proper reaction to last weekend’s events in Charlottesville, Virginia, is outrage. Legally, the analysis has to be more nuanced. To help prevent violence while preserving freedom of speech, we need to distinguish three categories, all of which seem to have been in play: terrorism, peaceful protest and provocative action aimed at producing street violence. The most horrifying is also legally the simplest. The car attack on peacefully assembled citizens was a terrorist act, modeled it would seem on Islamic State-inspired vehicle attacks in Europe. It should be prosecuted as a federal hate crime, insofar as it can be shown to have been motivated by racial or religious prejudice. But that’s not all. The car attack should also be prosecuted as terrorism, defined by federal law to cover acts of violence intended to affect the course of politics. If it can be shown that the driver conspired with others, including members of white supremacist groups, they, too,

can be prosecuted, even if they weren’t specifically planning the car attack. That’s the beauty of conspiracy law: You can be held liable for the acts of co-conspirators. Peaceful protest is on the surface also legally simple. Under the standard set by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1969, protesters in public places have the right to say whatever they want, no matter how horrifying — provided they don’t intend to incite imminent violence in a manner that’s likely to have that effect. Even peaceful marches experienced by onlookers as intimidating are generally covered by this free-speech right. The court has carved out a sort of one-off exception for crossburning, which it held could be criminalized when shown to be bound up in intimidation. That means a march through a public place, even accompanied by torches reminiscent of the old Ku Klux Klan, is constitutionally protected. The same is true of peaceful counterprotest. The words may be offensive and repulsive, but the content of the speech is sacrosanct. Charlottesville shows that keeping a safe

White nationalists and neo-Nazis clash with counterprotesters last week in Charlottesville, Virginia. distance between protesters and counterprotesters is all-important to keeping the peace. That brings us to the hardest category, legally speaking: provocative speech that is aimed to produce conflict. In a World War II-era case, Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, the court carved out a freespeech exception for what it called “fighting words.” The idea was supposed to be that the government could criminalize speech that would provoke a reasonable listener into immediate retaliatory violence. On the surface, the fighting words exception would seem to allow the police to arrest people who are in each other’s faces, yelling epithets intended

to provoke violent response. In fact, the man arrested in the Chaplinsky case called a police official a “damned fascist.” In practice, however, the courts are loath to invoke fighting words doctrine, which seems to contemporary ears to place the burden of avoiding violence on the speaker, rather than on the person who actually throws a punch. Consequently, it’s very difficult for police departments to make arrests based on civilian provocation of other civilians. What police can do is get between people who are trying to goad to each other into violence. And the moment anyone lays a hand on anyone else, an arrest can be made for

disorderly conduct or assault. This kind of policing is hard, and it calls for careful judgment and officer training. The presence of legal guns at otherwise legal marches makes the difficulty of policing much greater. Still, laws permitting open carry don’t legalize intimidation by arms. They also don’t allow the organization of military groups, like armed militia. It’s one thing to walk down the street carrying a gun. It’s another to move in military formation as part of a maneuver to control space or to intimidate. Police need to prevent fluid situations where protesters and counterprotesters are face to face, hurling insults and potentially coming to blows. Otherwise, there could easily be a tragedy in which someone opens fire. The bottom line is that the First Amendment allows and must allow the police to keep the peace. Law and order is the baseline of liberal democracy. Without that, free speech is meaningless.

My costly lesson in judging others

NEWSDAY, SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 2017

newsday.com

BY ROD ROGERS

t was on a sunny Saturday afternoon in the spring of 1949 that I learned an important life lesson about judging others on their physical appearance. As a senior at George Washington High School in Washington Heights and a serious piano student, I worked part time as a salesman in Wall’s Music Center on Grace Avenue in Great Neck. The job provided a pleasant working environment, a modest income and was worth the drive from Manhattan in my family’s old Pontiac. My weekly paycheck combined a base salary plus commissions earned on the sale of radios, phonographs, music-related accessories, and

78 rpm record albums (shortly before the introduction of 45 rpm and 33 1/3 rpm “long playing” records). For maximum fairness at garnering commissions, especially on sales of higher-priced items, two other teenage salesmen and I used the “up” system, taking turns in rotation greeting customers entering the shop. There were a dozen or so different kinds of radios in stock, including clock radios and “portable” radios that were often larger than overnight cases (small transistor radios would not appear in the marketplace until several years later). The most desirable — and costly — radio in the store was the suitcase-size Zenith TransOceanic model 8G005Y, pro-

duced from 1946 to 1949 and available for a lofty (at that time) $125, plus tax. The commission on the sale of a “T-O” was high enough for us to try to sell one whenever possible. This enormous eight-tube radio operated on battery or AC/DC power and broadcast AM and seven shortwave bands. On that unforgettable afternoon, the music shop’s glass door opened wide and a tall, unshaven man sauntered in wearing sunglasses and a wrinkled porkpie hat, and garbed in scruffy clothing more suitable for yard work than for shopping on fashionable Grace Avenue. This slim, ragged fellow was my “up,” but after glancing at his unkempt appearance, I quickly concluded my efforts

would be more profitably spent with another ostensibly affluent customer, so I looked at my co-worker Norman and winked as a sign that I was relinquishing my turn to him. Norman approached as this unseemly looking fellow walked to the radio display, pointed at the Trans-Oceanic and asked whether he had six in stock. Norman blinked, looked disbelievingly at me, then turned and went into the stock room. He promptly returned to say that there were six in stock. Then the buyer opened his checkbook and waited for Norman to write the $750 receipt. Adding further insult to my self-inflicted fiscal injury, I was asked to help carry the six Trans-Oceanic

boxes to the back seat of the buyer’s shiny white Lincoln Continental convertible parked nearby. Ever since that notable afternoon some 68 years ago, I have assiduously avoided judging others solely on their appearance. Reader Rod Rogers lives in Merrick.

Sympathy for lost Harvard acceptance

Harvard University rescinded acceptance offers for 10 incoming freshmen because of what they posted in a Facebook group [“College-bound? Take a lesson from Harvard case,” exploreLI, June 14]. The university discovered that these applicants shared inappropriate memes that dealt with topics such as sexual assault, the Holocaust and race. Was this fair? People tend to have a different persona online than they do in person. This especially applies to teenagers and young adults. They try to fit in with their peer group online. It’s unfair to judge a potential student’s ability to excel in class based on his or her social

media accounts. That said, at times, it’s necessary to look over social media accounts to see whether some students might be a danger to other students attending the university. In Harvard’s case, it did the right thing in rescinding those acceptances because no university wants that type of behavior on its campus. Unfortunately, withdrawing acceptances at this point makes it hard for the 10 students to apply to other universities and get accepted. Every school would now have this misconception of the students because of what they posted. Sydney Bostick, Jamaica Editor’s note: The writer is a senior at Adelphi University.

Long Islanders do pay far too much for our energy, but not only due to PSEG Long Island’s ads and marketing [“Customer zaps PSEG over $318G mailer,” News, Aug. 10]. New York State decided to bail out four privately owned nuclear reactors near Lake Ontario. The public had no say in this decision. According to the Public Utility Law Project, this will raise energy bills for individuals, government agencies such as schools, and other organizations and businesses by $7.6 billion over 12 years. For residences, this will amount to more than $31 million in the first two years. Worse, these nuclear facilities present a continuing risk of accidents and are a target for terrorists. Even normal operation emits carcinogens and produces waste that will remain radioactive for as many as 10,000 years — and we still don’t have a plan to store it safely. Renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind and solar, are safer and better for the environment of Long Island and the state.

From clicks to bricks E-commerce companies embrace opening stores

Online retailers are invading the mall. A growing number of e-commerce companies — including national names such as Amazon.com and locals such as Fragrance.com of Deer Park and FranceandSon.com, a Farming-

dale-based furniture and lighting retailer — are opening brick-andmortar stores on Long Island. Their reasons range from building brand awareness, to getting feedback and data from customers, to establishing trust with customers who might be wary of shopping with an online-only company. Online retailers that open

physical stores — or “clicks-tobricks retailers” — are “infusing the retail industry with something new and something different,” said Faith Hope Consolo, chairwoman of the Manhattan-based real estate firm Douglas Elliman’s Retail Group. “This is a very fastgrowing segment now.” Moreover, Long Island is a fa-

vored location for online retailers to test physical stores, real estate executives say, partly because of its relatively high incomes. Nassau County’s median household income was $99,465 in 2015, and Suffolk’s was $88,663, according to the most recent census estimates — almost double the national median of $53,889.

And Long Islanders are enthusiastic about shopping. “Long Island is a real up-andcoming area for fashion,” said Michael Africa, marketing manager for Canadian e-commerce clothing retailer Oak + Fort, which opened a 3,000-squarefoot store at Roosevelt Field

RETAILING Dot-com enterprises look to expand with stores

Blue Nile, a jewelry retailer, has a “webroom” at Roosevelt Field.

Other virtual enterprises that have launched a physical presence on Long Island include jewelry retailer BaubleBar of Manhattan; home décor and furniture retailer One Kings Lane of Manhattan; jeans retailer NYDJ of Vernon, California; and women’s clothing retailer Say More Boutique of Patchogue. “The customer base on Long Island is quite diverse and often are considered ‘first adapters,’ following new brands and trends closely,” Zachary Bran-

fashion brand Eloquii, based in Manhattan and Columbus, Ohio, and trendy sportswear companies Athleta of San Francisco and Fabletics of El Segundo, California. Around the country, online enterprises are targeting traditional malls, outlet centers and downtown shopping districts, with many opening in New York City. Locally, the focus is on malls. “Most online-only retailers test brick-and-mortar locations in the city first; if and when they make their way to suburban markets like Long Island, you are likely only going to see them pop up in the malls,” said Jayson Siano, managing principal of Garden City-based Sabre Real Estate Group. Several online companies have opened stores at Roosevelt Field.

mall in Garden City in June. Online retailers have been taking market share from traditional, physical retailers in recent years as shoppers embrace shopping on their desktops, tablets and smartphones. Online-only stores benefit from low real estate expenses, centralized inventory management and customer service, and the ability to take orders at any time and deliver almost anywhere. But there are advantages to having a physical store. Some of the stores opened by online retailers are temporary “popups,” while others are more permanent. “There is nothing like having a store in your face,” Consolo said. “If you want to grow organically, what better way to get the attention of Wall Street and the press?”

Jewelry seller Blue Nile opened its first-ever physical store at the mall in June 2015. The company calls the bright blue-and-white, 325-squarefoot store a “webroom,” a hybrid online and offline shopping experience, said Amanda Winters, a spokeswoman for the company. Blue Nile now has five webrooms in four states, averaging 500 to 700 square feet and employing five to six people. Founded in 1999, the company, with nearly half a billion dollars in sales, went private in

Wen Wu, owner of France and February after it was acquired by an investor group. The webrooms have large TV screens on the walls displaying social media posts from customers. Shoppers can view and try about 400 pieces of jewelry, including engagement rings, and get advice from consultants. Shoppers can also access the online catalog from in-store tablets. If customers see something they like, they can order it online through Blue Nile’s website at the store, on their mobile phone or on their computer at home. Delivery is free via FedEx, with some orders arriving at the customer’s home the next day. “Our webrooms have really exceeded our expectations both for sales and foot traffic,” Winters said. “Many of our customers who come into our webroom have never heard of Blue Nile before.” Fragrance.com opened a pop-up shop in October 2016

at Roosevelt Field to test the market. The 1,500-square-foot store displays a selection of the company’s 1,000 designer fragrances and offers discounts of up to 70 percent off retail prices. Sales associates use iPads to provide information to customers or help with purchases. They also give coupons for online shopping. The store was originally set to close in January after the Christmas shopping season, but the company decided to keep it open to gather data around major shopping holidays, Fragrance.com president Jason Apfel said.

Seattle-based Amazon was an early experimenter with physical stores. It opened popup kiosks in shopping malls in 2014 and physical bookstores in 2015. It has 38 pop-up stores in 17 states and eight Amazon Books stores in seven states, with five more bookstores in the works, according to its website. An Amazon pop-up store opened at Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream more than a year ago. Located on the mall’s first level, the 300-square-foot kiosk sells Kindle e-Readers, Fire tablets, Amazon Fire TVs, Echo devices and other Amazon-branded items. An Amazon spokeswoman declined to comment about the Green Acres kiosk. One Kings Lane opened its first brick-and-mortar retail location in Southampton over Memorial Day weekend. The Southampton location, in the town’s iconic former Rogers Memorial Library at 11 Jobs Lane, built in 1895, is described as a “seasonal shop.” A company spokesman declined to comment on the location. One Kings Lane, launched in 2009, was acquired by Bed Bath & Beyond last year. Wen Wu, the owner of

Farmingdale’s France and Son, took the business online as a direct-to-consumer retailer in 2012. It was founded in 1982 as a wholesaler in Queens by Wen’s father, Sal Wu, who is now retired. The company, with more than $10 million in revenue, sells sofas, lighting and rugs to retail customers, interior designers and architects. France and Son has a 60,000-square-foot showroom, office space and warehouse in Farmingdale. Two years ago, the company opened a flagship store in Chelsea, Manhattan. The company plans to build up its Farmingdale location along Route 110 as it learns what kind of products Long Islanders want. Despite the high rent and long lease, the company’s 4,000-square-foot Chelsea store “is worth it to establish the brand and legitimize what we do,” Wu said. “People feel more confident about ordering from a website that has a physical store. We also want to meet people face-to-face, [let them] see our products and get feedback.” France and Son’s brick-andmortar business now accounts for about 20 percent of its sales. The company, which has about 35 employees, is considering opening more stores. Jennifer Poppiti, owner of women’s clothing retailer Say More Boutique, started her business online in 2014, selling out of her home in Islip and delivering nationwide. But her goal from the start was to open a physical store. In April, she moved her business from the virtual world to a 1,100-square-foot space at the Shoppes at New Village in Patchogue. She sells clothing, with prices ranging from $12 to $100, that she picks from various designers. “I started online because I was getting my feet wet,” said Poppiti, a former special education teacher. “I knew I didn’t want to stay online. I knew I wanted to interact with my customers and be a part of the community.” E-commerce is “very competitive” and requires “a lot of money” for advertising and marketing, she said, while having a brick-and-mortar store instills trust in customers who may be cautious about buying from online retailers. By “having a physical location, it becomes a little bit more trustworthy,” Poppiti said.

and social media is that it is hard to advertise because it is a crowded space,” said Michael Africa, marketing manager for Oak + Fort, where a majority of sales now come from in-store sales. “Brick and mortar drive shoppers to retailer websites.” Since opening its Roosevelt Field store, Oak + Fort is seeing more online orders coming from Long Island, Africa said. Fashion jewelry e-tailer BaubleBar opened its first store, a 1,200-square-foot popup at Roosevelt Field, in 2015; it closed after six months. BaubleBar said it chose to open a temporary store after analyzing its data, top performing markets and customer feedback. The company, whose products are sold at Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and Anthropologie, also explored other retail concepts, including pop-up shops in New York City. “We decided to test a suburban geography and a shopping mall format,” BaubleBar cofounder Daniella Yacobovsky said in a statement. “Our limited-time concept shop provided us with an opportunity to test new ideas and gather additional learning.”

TECHREVIEW

Never forget your passwords again BY PETER KING

Special to Newsday

sing your cat’s name as a password is not a good idea, unless your cat is named tJU&*!0gPk#. And while having strong passwords is a must, remembering them all has become impossible. Password managers let you generate strong, unique passwords for every account, but because they are all saved in a master “vault,” you only have to remember one password.

TECHbytes Cheat sheets

As students head back to school, their phones will be constant companions — even when they should be turned off. About 21 percent of students admitted they used a smartphone to cheat on an exam, according to a new McAfee survey. But the actual number is probably higher: 47 percent said they knew that other students used their phones to cheat.

Instant gratification

Amazon has launched Instant Pickup, a service that lets Prime members pick up things like snacks, cold drinks or phone chargers within two minutes of ordering them online. The pickup locations are near college campuses in five cities — none yet in the metropolitan area — but Amazon plans to expand the service into more locations in the coming months. — AP A good choice if you need a password manager for only one device, Dashlane is loaded with features and has, arguably, the nicest user interface. But if you want to sync your passwords across all your devices, you will have to purchase a $40-a-year subscription. Because there are times you want others to know a password for a specific account, Dashlane includes a “sharing center” that makes this easy.

Unplugged

The drawback of electric vehicles is driving range — about 300 miles on a single charge. But Stanford University scientists have found a way to wirelessly charge electric vehicles while they are moving. The solution entails embedding coils in roads, which would require governments to get on board. Still, scientists envision a future where an electric vehicle could drive an unlimited amount of time without stopping to recharge. — PETER KING

LastPass

NEWSDAY, SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 2017

newsday.com

One of the first and still most popular password managers, LastPass recently dropped its $12-a-year subscription model and is now free for most services. (It also has a $24-a-year “premium” service with added features.) LastPass syncs your passwords across all your devices, so if you add or change a password on your desktop computer it will be reflected on your mobile devices. It includes a timesaving feature in which you can automatically change passwords on a slew of popular sites, including Facebook and Twitter.

AP / MARK HUMPHREY

(iOS, Android; free)

Like Dashlane, the free version of Keeper allows you to have a password manager on a single mobile device. To sync passwords across all devices, you will need a $30-a-year subscription. Keeper includes a “password audit” feature that gives you information on the strength of your passwords and whether you are unwisely reusing them for several accounts.

Google Authenticator (iOS, Android; free)

Google Authenticator is not a classic password manager, but it is a crucial app for security. Why? It adds two-factor authentication to your Google account, so even if your user name and password are stolen, no one can sign in without also using an always-changing code that is only accessible through your phone.

Key home sales reports will be released Tuesday and Wednesday. KEY EVENT: Low bar. Economists say Long Island is at or close to full employment, which means the unemployment rate may have a hard time declining any further. Through the first six months of the year, the Long Island jobless rate averaged 4.1 percent, same as the first six months of 2016. We get a first look at the second half of the year on Tuesday when the state Labor Department releases July unemployment rates for Nassau, Suffolk and Long Island as whole. MONDAY: Earnings from Ruby Tuesday. TUESDAY: Single-family home prices for June from the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Earnings: Farmingdale medical device maker Misonix. WEDNESDAY: The Commerce Depart-

ment releases new-home sales for July. Earnings: HP, Lowe’s, Calvin Klein brand owner PVH. THURSDAY: Existing home sales for July from the National Association of Realtors. The previous report, for June, showed single-family home prices in the Northeast rose 4.1 percent compared with June 2016. Also, jobless benefits claims for the week ended Aug. 19 from the U.S. Labor Department. Earnings: Port Washington drugmaker Aceto, Carle Place gift seller 1-800-Flowers.com. FRIDAY: The Commerce Department releases durable goods orders for July, an update on the manufacturing of expensive products like appliances, computers and airplanes.

Indeed, for most savers, the two are interchangeable: both will pay you interest, both let you deposit as often as you like, and both will be federally insured (assuming the account is with an FDIC bank or an NCUA credit union).

away motivation for the recipients to support themselves. Before you say yes: Telling enablers to just say no doesn’t work, since few are willing to stop the behavior cold turkey, therapists and planners say. Instead, enablers should ask themselves the following questions: ] Will this money actually help? It’s one thing to aid someone who’s been financially responsible but has fallen on hard times. It’s another to give money to people who chronically overspend or under-earn. ] Is there a better way to help? Instead of handing over cash, the rescuer could offer to pay essential expenses such as rent or medical bills if they can afford to do so. Any financial help should come with a firm deadline of when the assistance will end, such as six months. Offering to find or pay for financial planning, therapy or coaching is another way to help without enabling.

f you want someone to stop asking you for money, the worst thing you can do is say no and then give in after persistent pleading. Such “intermittent reinforcement” — granting a reward after an unpredictable number of requests — makes it more likely the person will ask for another handout than if you just said yes at the start, says Brad Klontz, a certified financial planner and psychologist in Lihue, Hawaii, who researches financial psychology. It’s the same dynamic that lures people to slot machines and lotteries. Klontz doesn’t actually advise giving in. But he says understanding the psychology on both sides of what he calls “financial enabling” can help people change their behavior. Financial enabling means giving money in ways that keep the recipients from taking responsibility and solving their own problems. It may include providing financial support to an able-bodied person who refuses to work, bailing a chronic debtor out of another financial jam or serving as a de facto emergency fund for someone who refuses to save. The best way to stop enabling is to first recognize when you’re doing it and then create a plan for saying no. They’re your kids — and adults: Financial enabling seems most common between parents and their adult children. It can be especially problematic for retirees who may run short of money because of their generosity. Enablers often don’t see that their generosity fuels dependency and takes

Satoshi Ozaki, a Brookhaven National Laboratory physicist whose work on particle accelerators helped scientists re-create the universe as it may have existed in the millionths of a second after its creation, died July 22 at St. Catherine of Siena Nursing & Rehabilitation Care Center in Smithtown. He was 88. The cause was cardiac arrest due to pancreatic cancer, said his daughter, Keiko Simon. Ozaki led development of one of BNL’s crown jewels, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Opened in 2000, RHIC is actually a complex of accelerators feeding into two massive, 2.4-mile buried rings lined by detectors at key points. Inside the rings, beams of ions smash into each other at near-light speed. Each collision throws off quarks and gluons, subatomic particles thought to be the most basic components of matter. RHIC was the first machine to demonstrate formation of the superheated swarm of these particles scientists believe composed the universe for an instant after the Big Bang before cooling to form the protons and neutrons that we now recognize. Research originating at RHIC has led to hundreds of scientific papers in different fields of physics. “He was the builder,” said Nicholas Samios, who as BNL director hired Ozaki to lead RHIC development. Starting in 1989, Ozaki headed an international team of hundreds of scientists, engineers and technicians, bringing in the $500

Satoshi Ozaki led development of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. million project on time, on budget, and built to exacting specifications, Samios said. “Each year it operates better and better,” he said. “Its beam intensity improvements have gone up multifold. It’s just a well-engineered project.” Ozaki also led construction of the first major high-energy particle collider in Japan in the early 1980s and was a key figure in the development of National Synchrotron Light Source II, a BNL machine that uses extremely bright light for research in energy, biomedicine, geology and the envi-

ronment, revealing new details about materials ranging from solar cells to proteins. Ozaki was born July 4, 1929, in Osaka, Japan, to Iwao and Mitsu Ozaki, who owned and ran a clothing factory. He graduated from Osaka University with a master’s degree in physics in 1955 and came to the United States on a Fulbright scholarship, then earned his doctorate in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1959. He joined BNL that year. He received numerous awards for his work including, in 2013, Japan’s prestigious Order of the Sacred Treasure, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon, conferred by Emperor Akihito for his contributions in high-energy and nuclear physics and cooperation in the field between the United States and Japan. Timur Shaftan, a BNL scientist who worked with Ozaki, said some of Ozaki’s best work had nothing to do with physics. “He was a brilliant manager. . . . He knew human nature. He knew how to put together a strong team, exploit the benefits and work with the weaknesses of those people.” Ozaki, who lived with his family in Shoreham in a house he designed and built, is survived by Simon, of Lansdale, Pennsylvania, and a son, Tsuyoshi Ozaki of Belmont, California. His wife, Yoko, died in 2015. Services were held July 24 at Alexander Rothwell Funeral Home in Wading River. Ozaki’s remains were cremated the following day in a private ceremony. BNL will hold a private symposium celebrating Ozaki’s accomplishments in October.

Comedian, activist Dick Gregory, 84

The comedian Dick Gregory rose to national prominence in the early 1960s as a black satirist whose audacious style of humor was biting, subversive and topical, mostly centered on current events, politics and above all, racial tensions. His trademark was the searing punchline. Gregory, 84, died yesterday in Washington, D.C. His son, Christian Gregory, announced the death on his father’s official social media accounts. The cause was not reported.

More than a comedian, Gregory was driven by an unwavering commitment to front-line activism. He marched in Selma, Ala., was jailed in Birmingham, Ala., was shot in the leg during the 1965 Watts riots in Los Angeles, and had counted the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Medgar Evers and Malcolm X — all slain campaigning for their cause — among his confidants. Richard Claxton Gregory was born in St. Louis on Oct. 12, 1932. He was the second of six children. — The Washington Post

HISTORY THIS DAY IN SPORTS Aug. 20 1931: Helen Wills Moody beats Eileen B. Whitingstall 6-4, 6-1 to capture the women’s title in the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association championship. 1944: Robert Hamilton upsets Byron Nelson in the final round 1 up to win the PGA championship. 1960: Holland’s Hairos II, driven by Willem Geersen, wins the second International Trot at Roosevelt Raceway by a half-length over Italy’s Crevacore. A record crowd of 54,861 watches the race. 1995: Monica Seles completes a remarkable first week back in tournament tennis play, demolishing Amanda Coetzer 6-0, 6-1 to capture the Canadian Open. She wins in 74 games, setting a tournament record for fewest number played by a champion. 2000: Tiger Woods wins the PGA Championship in a playoff over Bob May, becoming the first player since Ben Hogan in 1953 to win three majors in one year. He’s the first player to repeat as PGA champion since Denny Shute in 1937. 2004: Michael Phelps matches Mark Spitz’s record of four individual gold medals in the Olympic pool with a stirring comeback in the 100-meter butterfly, then removes himself from further competition at the games. Shortly after winning his seventh medal of the Athens Olympics, Phelps gives up his spot in the medley relay to Crocker. 2006: Tiger Woods wins the PGA Championship closing with a 4-under 68 for a fiveshot victory over Shaun Micheel and his 12th career major. He became the first player to win the PGA Championship twice on the same course, having beaten Sergio Garcia by one shot at Medinah in 1999. 2008: In Beijing, Usain Bolt of Jamaica breaks the world record in the 200 meter race, winning in 19.30 seconds. Bolt is the first man since Carl Lewis in 1984, to sweep the 100 and 200 gold medals at an Olympics. Bolt is the first man to break the world marks in both sprints at an Olympics — a feat that neither Lewis nor Jesse Owens accomplished. He beat the record of 19.32 set by Michael Johnson at the 1996 Atlanta Games. 2012: In a historic change at one of the world’s most exclusive golf clubs, Augusta National invites former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore to become the first female members since the club was founded in 1932.

Here and There was an even fifth in first start since eight-month absence last time; more to give. Caniform is fresh and packs potent kick on “A” effort; dangerous. Straightaway May was a clear-cut second in last after 9-length win in prior; big-time player.

Mambo At the Gym was pace and trip compromised last time; call based on price potential. Air Vice Marshall logged three tight works since game placing in last; very playable. Hollow Point exits sprints and should be favorably positioned in turf debut.

IN BRIEF GOLF U.S. takes big Solheim Cup lead

The United States took a 10 1/25 1/2 lead over Europe yesterday in the Solheim Cup at West Des Moines, Iowa, matching its biggest advantage entering the final day. The Americans took three of the four afternoon fourball matches after splitting the morning foursomes at Des Moines Golf and Country Club. The biennial event concludes today with 12 singles matches. Cristie Kerr set a record for career points by an American with 20, teaming with Lexi Thompson to win both of her matches. U.S. captain Juli Inkster held the previous mark with 18 1/2. Kerr and Thompson beat Jodi Ewart Shadoff and Caroline Masson, 5 and 3, in the morning, and topped Georgia Hall and Catriona Matthew, 4 and 2, in the afternoon. In the other U.S. afternoon victories, Brittany Lincicome and Brittany Lang beat Carlota Ciganda and Mel Reid, 2-up, and Paula Creamer and Austin Ernst edged Karine Icher and Madalene Sagstrom, 2 and 1.

Stenson tops in Wyndham

Henrik Stenson shot 4-underpar 66 to take a one-stroke lead over Webb Simpson, Ollie Schniederjans and Kevin Na in the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina. The 2013 FedEx Cup champion and 2016 British Open winner was at 16-under 194 at Sedgefield with a round left in the PGA Tour’s last regular-season event . . . Scott Mc-

Paula Creamer enjoys winning foursome with Austin Ernst at Solheim Cup. Carron had two eagles in an 11-under 61 to join Kevin Sutherland atop the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open leader board in upstate Endicott.

Terence Crawford stopped Julius Indongo in the third round to become the undisputed world champion at 140 pounds in Lincoln, Nebraska. Crawford sent Indongo to the canvas with a right to the body in the last minute of the second round and just missed with a massive left hook before the bell. Midway through the third round, Crawford caught Indongo (22-1) with a left

hook to the body that put him down writhing in pain. The fight was the first four-belt unification bout since 2004, when Bernard Hopkins stopped Oscar De La Hoya to claim all the belts in the 160-pound division. Crawford came in with the WBC and WBO belts; Indongo, from Namibia, was the WBA and IBF champ. — AP

HORSE RACING

Collected holds off Arrogate

Collected beat 3-5 favorite Arrogate by a half-length in the $1-million Pacific Classic yesterday, giving Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert a 1-2 finish at Del Mar. Ridden by Martin Garcia, Collected ran 1 1/4 miles in 2:00.70 at the seaside track north of San Diego. He paid $8 to win. The 4-year-old chestnut colt held off the furious late rush of Arrogate, the richest thoroughbred in racing history who was trying to bounce back from a stunning fourth-place finish in the San Diego Handicap last month at Del Mar. Baffert earned his fifth Pacific Classic victory, one behind the late

Bobby Frankel. He watched the race on the big video board in the paddock rather than in the stands and stared at the screen with arms folded when Arrogate came up short yet again. Collected became the first 4-year-old to win since Richard’s Kid in 2009. The colt is 4-0 this year. Accelerate, who beat Arrogate by 15 1/4 lengths in the San Diego, was another 3 3/4 lengths back in third. Curlin Road was fourth in the seven-horse field.

] Elate pulls away in Alabama

Elate rallied in the stretch to win the $600,000 Alabama for 3-year-old

fillies by 5 1/2 lengths at Saratoga. Ridden by Jose Ortiz, Elate ran 1 1/ 4 miles in 2:02.19 and paid $10.60 to win. It Tiz Well, the early pacesetter, was second at 13-1 odds. Salty was another head back in third in the 137th running of the Grade I race. Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott earned his third career Alabama victory. In the Del Mar Handicap, Hunt found a hole on the rail and rallied to win by 3 1/4 lengths to earn a berth in the BC Turf in November. Ridden by Flavien Prat, Irelandbred Hunt ran 1 3/8 miles on turf in 2:14.93 and paid $8.80. — AP

HOUSTON SEES NEW IDENTITY WITH KNICKS

Assistant GM glad Perry, Mills signed Hardaway BY BOB HERZOG

bob.herzog@newsday.com

The most popular jersey among more than 100 kids in the Mack Sports Complex on Friday at Hofstra Summer Camps was Carmelo Anthony’s No. 7, in Knicks blue and orange. But when the camp’s guest speaker, former Knicks star and current assistant general manager Allan Houston, was asked if that’s the jersey Anthony will be wearing for the upcoming season, the two-time All-Star shooting guard wouldn’t take the open shot. “That’s not for me to speak on,” Houston said with a laugh. “That’s for the boss.” Houston did have kind words for his new bosses, president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry. “Steve and Scott

have been intentional in their language about what we want to be,” said Houston, who played nine of his 12 seasons with the Knicks. “It starts with identifying what you want to be and then going out and doing it. When I was here playing, it was very exciting and we had an identity. It’s about establishing that identity again. From what I’ve seen, the players are buying into it. I think it’s the first time in a long time that’s been the case.” Though clearly not intended as a criticism, Houston’s observation was a commentary on the tenure of the Knicks’ previous president, Phil Jackson; the direction in which Jackson wanted to take the team never seemed clear. The current regime appears committed to getting younger and more athletic. To that end, the Knicks brought back shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr., signing him to a huge freeagent contract this offseason. Houston, himself a former big-ticket free agent with the

enced those character traits. “It’s more than basketball. It’s life,’’ he said. “Whether it’s basketball, academics, music, art, dance, math or science, there are certain fundamentals that you need to grow and get better and not be satisfied with where you are. These five fundamentals we talk about are the keys to doing that.” The kids were attentive and enthusiastic. One, in particular, was aglow all afternoon. He was a bouncy 11-year-old redhead from Syosset named Steven Klein, the only camper who wore Houston’s Knicks No. 20 jersey. “My dad [Scott] told me about Allan Houston and we once met him when we were on vacation in Hershey Park,” Klein said. “My brother [Michael], who is 14, Allan Houston demonstrates follow-through to children at Hofstra Summer Camps. has a lot of jerseys.

Krauss on tear after tinkering with swing

BY JORDAN LAUTERBACH

NEWSDAY, SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 2017

jordan.lauterbach@newsday.com

The difference between fouling a ball back to the screen and lining a double into the gap sometimes can be so minute that even the slightest mechanical change can make a huge difference. “The saying goes that, in the big leagues, you get one or two pitches to hit. And in the minors, you’ll get three or four. You can’t miss them,” Ducks manager Kevin Baez said. No one knows this better than Baez’s first baseman, Marc Krauss. Since the second half began in early July, Krauss was hitting .353

DUCK TALES with 10 home runs entering yesterday. During the recent 12-game winning streak that vaulted the Ducks into first place in the Atlantic League’s Liberty Division, Krauss hit .289 with two home runs and nine RBIs. He hit .257 with seven home runs in the first half. “I’ve made a couple adjustments that have gotten me into a better hitting position mechanically, as opposed to [the first half], where I was getting good

pitches to hit and I would foul them off or miss them,” Krauss said. “Lately, I feel like if I’ve gotten a good pitch to hit, I’ve been able to barrel it up and hit it hard somewhere. “I’ve tried to level my hands a tad bit and just tried to get a little more comfortable. It’s allowed everything to work a little more efficiently. It’s allowed my swing to be a little better and a little more consistent.” Krauss credits teammate Jordan Pacheco with helping him pinpoint the minor issues in his swing. “He has a lot of big-league experience,” Krauss said of the former Rockies, Diamondbacks and Reds utilityman. “He would get videotape out on our

phones and just show us different things. For the first time all year, I was able to look at my swing on video and see what it looked like. I made a few adjustments on my own from there. It’s been working, so I’m feeling pretty good.”

] Brewers buy Berry

The Milwaukee Brewers purchased outfielder Quintin Berry’s contract from the Ducks on Thursday. Berry, who played in the World Series with the 2012 Tigers and 2013 Red Sox, signed with the Ducks on July 2. He hit .228 with nine RBIs in 27 games (101 at-bats). Berry, known for his speed, had a six-game hitting streak and was hitting .333 in his last 24 at-bats when the Brewers

came calling. He joined Milwaukee’s Triple-A affiliate in Colorado Springs.

] Lannan calls it quits

Former Mets and Nationals pitcher John Lannan announced his retirement last week. Lannan, who played parts of eight seasons in the big leagues, signed with the Ducks on June 19. In 19 relief appearances he was 1-0 with a 6.65 ERA, striking out 27 and walking 12 in 23 innings. He allowed five runs and four hits in twothirds of an inning against Southern Maryland on Aug. 12, his final appearance with the team. Next up: Lancaster @ Ducks, 5:05 p.m., today

Saquon Barkley

Saquon Barkley, Penn State: The junior running back seems to produce highlight-reel plays each game and is primed for a big season in the Nittany Lions’ high-powered offense. Barkley rushed for 1,496 yards and 18 touchdowns and caught 28 passes for 402 yards and four touchdowns last season. He is expected to be a top 10 pick in next spring’s NFL Draft.

Minkah Fitzpatrick, here at last December’s SEC championship game, and Alabama could leap over all the competition on the way to a national title. The Tigers can be dangerous if quarterback Jarrett Stidham, the former starter at Baylor, lives up to expectations and running back Kamryn Pettway can put together a full season. Auburn has to play at Clemson and hosts Alabama. 11. Oklahoma State 12. Louisville 13. Georgia 14. LSU 15. Miami (Fla.) 16. Michigan 17. Stanford 18. Kansas State 19. Florida 20. Texas 21.

Jake Browning, Washington: Browning finished sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting last season. The junior quarterback threw for 3,430 yards and an eye-popping 43 touchdowns as the Huskies made it into the College Football Playoff. Washington’s regularseason schedule isn’t too daunting so expect Browning to put up big numbers again. Sam Darnold, USC: The sophomore threw for 3,086 yards and 31 touchdowns last season, despite not starting for the Trojans until the fourth game of the season. His Rose Bowl performance against Penn State, which included five touchdown passes, was dazzling. Now Darnold is a serious Heisman contender in his first full season as a starter. Lamar Jackson, Louisville: Don’t forget about the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. While other players may be garnering more attention heading into the season, the junior quarterback could end up as a repeat winner. Jackson threw for 3,543 yards and 30 touchdowns and rushed for 1,571 yards and 21 touchdowns last season. Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma: Mayfield, a fifth-year senior, finished third in the Heisman voting last season. He threw for 3,965 yards and 40 touchdowns. Mayfield won’t have running back Joe Mixon and wide receiver Dede Westbrook, who are both in the NFL, but new head coach Lincoln Riley should keep Mayfield’s offensive numbers rolling.

quarterback. The Tigers, however, are loaded with talent on the roster, especially on defense with linemen Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence as anchors. 8. Oklahoma Coach: Lincoln Riley 2016 record: 11-2 (No. 5) Longtime coach Bob Stoops is gone, but fifth-year senior quarterback Baker Mayfield is back. Mayfield should have a big season under new coach Riley. The Sooners have tough trips to Ohio State and Oklahoma State, as well as a neutral-site game with Texas. 9. Wisconsin Coach: Paul Chryst 2016 record: 11-3 (No. 9) The Badgers should be what they usually are — solid. Wisconsin will need sophomore quarterback Alex Hornibrook to take a big step forward in his development. The schedule is also favorable with a trip to Nebraska as the toughest road test. 10. Auburn Coach: Gus Malzahn 2016 record: 8-5 (No. 24)

J.T. Barrett, Ohio State: Barrett threw for 2,555 yards and 24 touchdowns and rushed for 845 yards and nine touchdowns last season. The senior quarterback should put up even bigger numbers this season with new offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson now in Columbus and the Buckeyes expected to be national title contenders.

1. Alabama Coach: Nick Saban 2016 record (final AP ranking): 14-1 (No. 2) The Crimson Tide has a lot of talent throughout the roster and will be looking to make up for last season’s national title game loss to Clemson. Jalen Hurts should be even better at quarterback in his second season and defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick will lead a talented defense. 2. USC Coach: Clay Helton 2016 record: 10-3 (No. 3) Sophomore quarterback Sam Darnold is a serious Heisman Trophy contender and the Trojans have a talented roster coming back. Expectations are high in Los Angeles and the defending Pac-12 champs have the talent to compete for a College Football Playoff spot. 3. Florida State Coach: Jimbo Fisher 2016 record: 10-3 (No. 8) Deondre Francois threw for 3,350 yards and 20 touchdowns as a freshman and will now be counted on to lead the Seminoles into the College Football Playoff. The Seminoles get a great test in their first game against Alabama. 4. Ohio State Coach: Urban Meyer 2016 record: 11-2 (No. 6) As is the case each year, the Buckeyes lost plenty of top players to the NFL. But J.T. Barrett is back at quarterback and the defense should again be very talented. Ohio State also gets Penn State at home this season, which could decide the Big Ten East. 5. Washington Coach: Chris Petersen 2016 record: 12-2 (No. 4) The Huskies lost to USC and Alabama last season, but they’ll need to win those types of big games this season to play for the national title.

DARNOLD

Deep, talented crop of quarterbacks to impact national title chase, draft BY MIKE ROSE

michael.rose@newsday.com

It’s being called the year of the quarterback. The college football season will feature a number of bigname and highly regarded quar-

terbacks spread across the country. It should be one of the most memorable seasons for quarterbacks in recent memory. USC’s Sam Darnold, a 6-4, 225-pound sophomore from Capistrano Beach, California, is perhaps the best of the bunch.

USC’s Sam Darnold came on fast after waiting a few weeks for his first start last year.

HAS LEAD IN QB REVUE

Darnold was spectacular in last season’s Rose Bowl, leading the Trojans back from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Penn State in a thriller, 52-49. Darnold threw for 3,086 yards and 31 touchdowns last season, despite not getting his first start until the fourth game of the season. He threw five touchdowns in a game three times, including against the Nittany Lions. He is a serious Heisman Trophy contender and a big reason why the Trojans could be in the mix for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Darnold has also

caught the eyes of NFL teams and is expected to be a high draft pick whenever he is ready for a professional career. Expectations are high as he prepares for his first full season as a starter. “I’ve learned a lot and there’s always more room to grow,” Darnold said last month at the Pac-12 preseason media event. “I’m going to continue to learn as the season goes on.” Heisman Trophy winner La-

mar Jackson is back at Louisville. Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield is also expected to be a Heisman contender and the Sooners are a preseason top 10 team. Darnold won’t be the only elite quarterback in the Pac-12. UCLA’s Josh Rosen, Jake Browning of Washington and Washington State’s Luke Falk figure to garner national attention, as well. Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph in the Big 12, the Big Ten duo of Penn State’s Trace McSorley and J.T. Barrett of Ohio State, and Florida State’s Deondre Francois in the ACC are other quarterbacks who should put up big numbers this season. In the SEC, watch for Alabama’s Jalen Hurts, Auburn’s Jarrett Stidham, the former starter at Baylor, and Mississippi State’s Nick Fitzgerald. Wyoming’s Josh Allen doesn’t play in a Power Five conference, but he could end up being the top pick in next

spring’s NFL Draft. That’s a lot of quarterback star power. Jackson has been overshadowed a bit by the hype surrounding Darnold, but the junior could end up as a repeat Heisman winner. Jackson threw for 3,543 yards and 30 touchdowns and rushed for 1,571 yards and 21 touchdowns last season. So what does Jackson do for an encore? “I’m trying to win more games than last year, and the biggest goal is the national championship,” Jackson told reporters at the ACC preseason media event last month. With USC and Oklahoma expected to compete for a playoff spot, Louisville will likely need to win more games to put Jackson in position to challenge Darnold and Mayfield for the Heisman. Louisville, which went 9-4 last season, hosts defending national champion Clemson on Sept. 16 and travels to Florida State on Oct. 21, games that will impact Jackson’s case for another Heisman. Jackson was asked at the ACC preseason media event last month about the pressure of being a Heisman winner coming into this season. “I don’t really worry about

it,” he said. “It’s done. I have it. I’m going to every game trying to win it. I’m not worried about the Heisman Trophy or anything like that. I wasn’t trying to win it last year. It happened.” Mayfield, a fifth-year senior, threw for 3,965 yards and 40 touchdowns last season, finishing third in the Heisman Trophy voting. Mayfield won’t have running back Joe Mixon or wide receiver Dede Westbrook with him on offense, as both players are now in the NFL. Lincoln Riley took over for Bob Stoops as head coach in June. Mayfield has familiarity with his new coach since Riley had been the Sooners’ offensive coordinator. Mayfield has also had to answer questions about his arrest in February. According to reports, Mayfield was charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and fleeing. Despite the coaching change and loss of key offensive players, Mayfield is expecting to have a big season for the Sooners. “I feel great,” Mayfield told Fox Sports at the Big 12 preseason media event last month. “I think we’ve had a great offseason. People are talking about the coach Stoops change, but coach Riley’s done a great job. I’m comfortable knowing that we have our offensive coordinator and the guy that’s been calling plays for us. I’m really excited knowing that the defensive guys get to have a little piece of him and get to pick his brain and get to learn from him. So it’s exciting times for us. I think the team feels the energy and it’s been a great offseason because of that.” It’s exciting times for a lot of teams with top quarterbacks around the country.

WHAT CAN I BRING?

AP / DAVID HAHN

No matter who wins or what the scores are, the Northern Trust tournament this week at Glen Oaks Club will be historic in one way: It will be the first time the PGA Tour will allow spectators to take video, audio or photos of the action with their mobile devices. Fans still will have many restrictions on what they can do with their phones — no flashes, no commercial use, no streaming from shot to shot; calls can be made only in designated areas and devices must be kept on silent mode. Still, the policy that will be introduced this week represents a new protocol in golf’s evolving issue. Tournament organizers have been studying what to do about phones, with mixed conclusions. Until now, official PGA Tour policy allowed images to be taken away from play (although people often have disregarded the rule). At the PGA Championship last week, run by the PGA of America, spectators were not permitted to shoot anything within 100 feet of play. At the Masters, mobile devices are not allowed on the grounds at all. The PGA Tour is trying a relaxed approach to make the FedEx Cup playoffs more fanfriendly, acknowledging the importance that most people place on their devices. The policy was announced Tuesday. Details will be printed on the back of every ticket and can be found at pgatour.com/ticketterms.

If the torch has indeed been passed to a new generation of golfers, which seems to be the case, it sure doesn’t seem too hot to handle for them. Nor are they afraid to pass it around among each other. “It’s a cool thing we have going on right now with the young golfers and we’re all rooting for each other,” Justin Thomas, 24, said last Sunday, right after he became the third consecutive golfer in his 20s to win a major championship. “If we can’t play well, we want the others to play well.” Golf in 2017 is flush with guys in their 20s who shoot in the low 60s. Among those sitting near the 18th green to help Thomas celebrate winning the PGA Championship, his fourth victory of the season, was Jordan Spieth, also 24, winner of three tournaments this season, including the previous major. Four days earlier, Spieth was asked about a budding rivalry with Rory McIlroy, 28. “It’s not two of us, it’s really eight to 10 right now,” he said. That would include Brooks Koepka, 27, who won the U.S. Open this year; Hideki Matsuyama, 25, whose victory two weeks ago was his third this season; Rickie Fowler, 28, a close friend of both Spieth and Thomas who always is knocking on the door at majors; Jon Rahm, a rookie who won a PGA Tour event this year at 22 and others. They grew up idolizing Tiger Woods (Thomas had dinner with him at the Wanamaker Trophy ceremony Monday). None of these 20-somethings is as dominant as Woods was, but as a unit they are a force. They have come of age in the era of the FedEx Cup playoffs, which is what will bring them to Long Island. It is the 10th year of the fourstop playoff system, which culminates with the winner getting $10 million. McIlroy won it last year, Spieth the year before that. The first leg is the Northern Trust, formerly known as the Barclays, and will be played at Glen Oaks Club in Old Westbury this week. Glen Oaks is a flashy ingenue, which makes it a good match and appropriate spot for the young stars on the PGA Tour. No one will have an advantage in experience because no tour player ever has played a competitive round on the course. Glen Oaks stepped in as a replacement for Liberty National in Jersey City, which was scheduled to host the tournament this year but had to back off when it was

This will be a chance for the club, just off Post Road, north of the Long Island Expressway, to display the thorough renovation it underwent in the past five years since it hired former Bethpage course superintendent Craig Currier. He said that while many courses are emphasizing a rugged, fescue-strewn appearance, Glen Oaks has gone in the complete opposite direction: Plush green grass from tree line to tree line, bright white sand.

“With all the great golf courses here in the metropolitan New York area to be selected to host something like this is truly unbelievable,” said Currier, who worked at Augusta National years before he prepared the Black Course for two U.S. Opens. “We tried to make something a little different from what we have here on Long Island. Obviously, I was at Bethpage and that’s a rough, rugged golf course. This is more of a manicured course.” The club was established in

For the tournament, Glen Oaks will use a composite of its 27 holes: Nos. 1-3 and 6-9 from the White Course, Nos. 4 and 5 on the complete Blue Course. The configuration was used for the Met Open last year and only the champion, Mark Brown of Tam O’Shanter, broke par. “I’ve heard a lot of great things about it,” said Patrick Reed, 27, the defending champion who won the Barclays last year at the Black. “With places you haven’t seen, you have to go into it fresh. You can’t have any assumptions. You just have to go in and kind of have your own thought process

year because they want to move their spots up. It makes these playoff events . . . mean a lot. They feel like bigger events than they once were.” Just about every tournament has been given a shot in the arm by the influx of young talent. Many players have been competing against each other for years on a burgeoning national junior circuit, so they have ready-made relationships when they reach the big time. Fowler and Spieth were there last Sunday, hugging Thomas’ parents. “It’s awesome and I think they know I would do the same for them. It’s a cool little friendship we have,” Thomas said during his champion’s news confer-

ence. “I know Rickie was a couple groups in front and Jordan was probably through nine or something when I finished.” Thomas, a member of the winning U.S. team in the 2013 Walker Cup at National Golf Links of America in Southampton, added that another friend, Bud Cauley, 27, waited around for more than four hours after his round last Sunday to see how it turned out. “I think that kind of shows, you know, where the game is right now, where all of us are. I mean, we obviously all want to win,” Thomas said. “We want to beat the other person. But if we can’t win, we at least want to enjoy it with our friends.”

For the better part of a decade, he has enjoyed popularity on the PGA Tour mostly because people just like yelling “Kooooch.” They were doing that plenty last month at Royal Birkdale, when Matt Kuchar really made a name for himself. He wishes he could say that name will be forever engraved on the claret jug, and he came really close to having that happen. So close it was painful for him to stand and watch Jordan Spieth recover from a midround meltdown, make a stunning comeback and win the British Open. It was how he handled the disappointment that got “Matt Kuchar” etched into hearts. There has been extra gusto in the cheers since and there will be additional warmth in the “Kooooches” this week at the Northern Trust at Glen Oaks Club in Old Westbury. “It has certainly been a great run. The more time goes on, the more the name catches on, the more people like to holler it out,” he said last weekend at the PGA Championship, where he played solid and for ninth. “It seems to have grown in the past 10 years. How much it has grown in the past two weeks, it’s hard to say. But for 10 years, it has been great, the support people have shown in hollering out for me.” Kuchar has had a solid career, including seven wins. One of those was the tournament he will enter this week — back in 2010, when it was known as the Barclays and played at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey. He never has won a major, which made the spectacle more tantalizing at Birkdale. He had taken the lead from Spieth and looked to be in command when the latter hit a tee shot far to the right on No. 13. Kuchar waited, waited and waited for Spieth to get a ruling about where he could drop after a penalty stroke. He never complained about the near half-hour delay, not when it happened, or afterward, when Spieth surged. In his news conference that

Matt Kuchar finished second at the British Open last month. day, Kuchar said, “It’s not something to be upset about.” He had graciously accepted Spieth’s apology for having taken so long. “I’m not surprised at all with the way he handled things,” Spieth said last week. “I thought he was a class act in everything. He was tremendous in the way he played and the way he was off the course, as he always is.” Actually, Kuchar might have helped Spieth maintain his mental equilibrium during the tailspin that afternoon, calmly chatting and joking with him between shots when the opponent was agitated with his game. The British Open runner-up followed through on his commitment to play the Canadian Open days later, pain notwithstanding. “I know the clock is ticking. I know you only get so many chances at it,” the 39-year-old said at that event, when the hurt was still fresh. “You’re only given X number of opportunities. One just went by. I hope there are more and I think there will be more chances.” He has had many big moments in his career, starting with winning the 1997 U.S. Amateur and a strong run at Georgia Tech (where he became friends with the school’s baseball star, Mark Teixeira). He prizes his victories, including the Barclays, though he admits that he won’t feel like a former champion this week. “I think it’s more the course than the event. Even though Barclays did a good job, I certainly felt a tie to Ridgewood,” he said. As for the FedEx Cup playoff series, he added: “The tour does a great job promoting it. I think it’s a nice way to finish the season. I just wish it finished the year. It seems like, two weeks later, there are more events.” The schedule seems to never let up, but then again, neither does the smile of a guy who has become a name player.

Only the top 125 on a season-long points list are eligible for the first event and the field is narrowed weekly after that. Among the golfers, it has overcome the skepticism and confusion rampant when the concept debuted in 2007. “I think the players love it. It’s an opportunity to have a fifth major, per se,” said Bill Haas, 35, who won the $10 million in 2011. “Like anything new, you didn’t know what to expect.

DIVIDING & UNITING Protests remain a hot-button issue, but teammates give show of support

t was a simple gesture: one football player standing next to his teammate and putting his arm around the other’s shoulder. But in the time it took Eagles defensive end Chris Long to show his support for Malcolm Jenkins, who stood with his right fist aloft during the playing of the national anthem at Thursday night’s Eagles-Bills preseason game, the symbolism was undeniably powerful and meaningful.

Long is white. Jenkins is black. And when Long put his arm around his teammate’s shoulder, the two sent a powerful message to a nation that rarely has seemed so divided. Less than a week after riots shook Long’s native Charlottesville, Virginia, and resulted in the death of Heather Heyer, a demonstrator protesting a rally of white supremacists marching through the city, Long joined Jenkins in a show of support.

Bob Glauber

“It’s just telling Malcolm, ‘I am here for you,’ and I think it’s a good time for people who look like me to be here for people fighting for equality,” Long told reporters after the game. “I’ve said before that I’ll never kneel for an anthem, because the flag means something different for everybody in this country. But I support my peers, and if you don’t see why you need allies for people that are fighting for equal-

ity right now, I don’t think you’ll ever see it. So my thing is, Malcolm is a leader, and I’m here to show support as a white athlete.” Jenkins has raised his right fist during the anthem since last season, shortly after then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the anthem, sitting at first and then kneeling on the sideline. And while Jenkins hasn’t experienced the intense criticism that Kaepernick faced — criticism that many people around the league are convinced is the reason Kaepernick has yet to sign with another team — he is one of the few players willing to continue to take a public stand in bringing attention to racial inequality in America. Jenkins is not alone, now that Long has stood by his side. And two other high-profile players have decided to use the anthem as a means of bringing attention to social issues. Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch sat for the anthem in the first preseason game, although the mercurial running back has declined to say why, which reduces the value of any point he might be trying to

Olympic Village. It was Norman who suggested that they wear one each on alternate hands. Norman also asked a member of the U.S. rowing team for his Olympic Project for Human Rights badge so he could show solidarity. “He came up to me and said, ‘Have you got one of those buttons, mate,’ ’’ U.S. rower Paul Hoffman said in the CNN story. “If a white Australian is going to ask me for an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge, then by God he would have one. I only had one, which was mine, so I took it off and gave it to him.” When Norman died in 2006, Smith and Carlos were pallbearers at his funeral and eulogized him in moving fashion. Considering the current political climate, there is reason to believe that at least some players will be moved toward expressing their feelings publicly. There also is reason to believe that many fans who prefer to see the NFL as entertainment and a diversion from world events will react negatively to any such activism, which is as much their right as it is the players’ right to speak up about what they perceive to be social injustice. Long believes this goes beyond politics, something that hit home as he watched his city rocked by violence. “Everybody is trying to turn this political,” he said. “This isn’t a political issue. This is right or wrong. I believe you’re on one side or the other. For me, being from Charlottesville, no one wants to see you sit idly by and watch that stuff happen and not say anything.”

side, that people do have rights, and we want to respect those.” Sports and politics frequently have intersected over the years, so the anthem protests shouldn’t be considered in a vacuum. Olympic sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos stood with one black-gloved fist raised during a medal ceremony in the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games, for instance. And it should be noted that the silver medalist in the 200-meter race, Australian Peter Norman, who was white, joined with Smith and Carlos by wearing a badge for the Olympic Project for Human Rights, a gesture for which he was publicly shunned for the rest of his life in Australia. Treated as a pariah, he was not allowed by his country to run in the Olympics again. According to a CNN story, Smith and Carlos already had decided to make a statement on the podium by wearing black gloves, but Carlos left his at the

sat on the Seahawks’ bench during the anthem. National anthem protests turned into a highly polarizing situation last season, and many fans grew irate at seeing Kaepernick and a few other players either sit or kneel during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner.’’ It was cited as one of several reasons for a reduction in television ratings last season, and it wasn’t unusual to hear fans say they had sworn off the game because of the protests. Even commissioner Roger Goodell has acknowledged that political and social activism in the NFL will continue, even if he doesn’t personally like it. “It’s one of those things where we have to understand that there are people who have different viewpoints,” he said at a forum for Cardinals season-ticket holders. “The national anthem is a special moment for me.

As they go into tomorrow’s second game, they’d like to build on that. “We want to stack some successes with the way game management went last week,”

The Giants play the Bucs in Week 4, which means they’ll have three games worth of regular-season game video to break down before that meeting. But for now, they also have some interesting insight into the opponent. The Bucs are on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” this summer. Is that the sort of thing that an opponent like the Giants can study to glean information? “We have a lot of HBO fans in the building,” McAdoo said. “I’m sure we’ll have a couple of breakdowns on them. And on ‘Game of Thrones.’ ”

Look out, Cleveland. Landon Collins is coming to town. And just because it’s the second preseason game, don’t expect the All-Pro safety to be on cruise control tomorrow night against the Browns. For Collins, there is no such thing. “When I’m on the field, it’s going to be full speed,” he said yesterday. “I don’t know any other speed. If I don’t go to the speed that I’m determined to, I just feel like I’m sluggish. So there’s only one speed for me.” Collins showed that last week against the Steelers. He played only 10 defensive snaps but had a team-high five tackles, including one for a loss. He was flying around the field as if it were a playoff game. Collins said teammates were giving him a hard time for playing so hard in a preseason game — “They were like, ‘Bro, what are you doing out there trying to hit people like that?’ ” — but part of the reason he does it is to protect himself. “If they put their shoulders on me, I feel like I’m going to get hurt and I can’t let them just bully me,” he said of opposing players. “But at the same time, I’ve just got to go full speed. It’s just my nature.”

McAdoo said. “Keep continuing to build. Go good to great on defense. Offense, be more productive.” Most of the focus will be on how the starting units function, but the rest of the game will be important, too. “We want to take a good look at some guys in the middle and on the bottom end of the roster,” McAdoo said, “give some guys who are competing for spots and jobs an opportunity to prove themselves.”

ent you have on paper? It’s not winning you any games. We have to go out there and execute and get it done now.” If they do get it done, Pugh could be the link between championships past, present and perhaps future. He could be the bridge from one era to the next. “I would love to be that guy,” he said. “That’s my biggest goal, which is to just continue to keep the Giants’ tradition. But who knows what’s going to happen. Football is a crazy game, it’s a crazy business.” Ah, business. Pugh is in the last year of his rookie contract and due to be a free agent at the end of this season. That should add urgency to his quest to earn a title with the Giants. So much has changed in his time here, it would be a shame if he were to leave without having altered the decor a bit. To have the same number of trophies, the same number of banners, the same number of championship team murals in the building on the day he leaves as there were on the day he arrived likely would be a disappointing way to end things. Rather than think in those terms, though, Pugh chooses to be more optimistic. Like others, he spends time thinking about how the Giants will arrange their fifth Super Bowl banner in the cavernous fieldhouse. It was a thought Odell Beckham Jr. voiced this past week, but one Pugh has been chewing on since long before then. “We’ll figure it out,” he said. “I’m hoping that they’ll ask me. Maybe Mr. Mara will be like: ‘Well, where do you think we should hang the banners?’ ” It’s not outside the realm of possibility. After all, if the Giants do win the Super Bowl this season, no one else will have waited as long as a member of the team to get his first title. And it would stop stinking to be him.

Giants offensive lineman Michael Bowie has been charged with domestic assault and battery and two counts of malicious injury or destruction of property in his native Oklahoma after an incident during the summer in Tulsa, according to multiple reports. A warrant was issued for Bowie’s arrest Friday. The Giants said they were made aware of the situation yesterday afternoon. “We immediately notified

NFL security,” the team said in a statement. “Michael will not make the trip for our game in Cleveland as we gather more information on the issue.” The Giants play the Browns tomorrow night. Bowie, 25, was signed by the Giants during the offseason as a reserve tackle and has worked primarily with the third string throughout this preseason. Beyond the criminal charges, he will be subject to potential discipline by the NFL under the league’s personal-conduct policy.

ustin Pugh is entering his fifth season with the Giants. That might not sound like a long time, but consider the changes during his tenure. There’s a new head coach, he’s playing a different position from when he started at right tackle as a rookie, and virtually everyone who was in the locker room to greet him in those first days with the team is gone. Only four current players have been with the Giants longer than Pugh: Eli Manning, Zak DeOssie, Jason Pierre-Paul and Mark Herzlich. Which makes Pugh not just one of the longest-serving Giants but the longest-serving without a Super Bowl ring. No one on this team has been with the Giants longer without anything to show for it. “It [stinks] to be me, huh?” the guard said with a chuckle when told of that status. There is only one way to change that. “I want to get one,” he told Newsday this week. “I want to get my first, get Eli and Zak their third. That’s all I’m focused on this year is getting to the playoffs and then making some noise. We got there last year and now we can build off the success of last year. I think we have the team to do it.” When Pugh arrived with the Giants, he walked into a room filled with players from the Super Bowl XLVI team. “Everybody had a ring,” he said. “I was the only one without one.” Now he’s the rule and not the exception. Part of the reason for that dry spell during Pugh’s time with the team lies in his position among the elder statesmen. He not only is the only remaining member of his 2013 draft class but the only remaining player the Giants acquired in any fashion — draft, free agency, waivers, anything — between the day they won Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis in February 2012 and the start of the 2014 season. Those dark ages of front-office moves left the Giants with a thin and often uncompetitive roster. Pugh spent the first three years of his career on losing teams before last year’s 11-5 mark got him a winning record. Now the roster is replenished. “I’m loving this team,” Pugh said. “I feel like this is the best team we’ve had on paper. Going out and proving that is the true test.

It’s hard to picture Eli Manning getting upset. Like redfaced angry. There are times he flashes disappointment or even dismay on the field, but most of the time the Giants’ quarterback is stone-faced cool. An almost blank stare. Nothing, it would appear, really gets him agitated. That, however, is not exactly the case. “He’s someone that we all know is steady, very evenkeeled. He doesn’t get rattled,” offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan said of Manning. “But if you want to see the ‘aw, shucks’ go away faster than Odell Beckham on a slant inside to the end zone is, have someone bust a route or someone not do what they are supposed to do.”

Smith’s special skill set useful BY TOM ROCK

tom.rock@newsday.com

Fullback Shane Smith sits atop the depth chart at his position, was on the field for the first play of the preseason, and made a pretty good impression when one of his blocks knocked the helmet off an opponent in the game against the Steelers. He even caught the first completed pass of the preseason by the Giants, a 9-yarder from Josh Johnson. Not bad for an undrafted rookie. But Smith has another obstacle to climb besides winning his position battle. He also has to convince the Giants that they actually need his position. The team went without a fullback last year and this offseason they brought in freeagent tight end Rhett Ellison, who has experience in that job from his days blocking for Adrian Peterson in Minnesota. A true dedicated fullback is a luxury the Giants may not have on their 53-man roster. So Smith needs to find other ways to make the squad. “A fullback is lucky to get 20 percent of the plays, so you have to contribute enough on special teams to where the team really wants to keep you,” Smith said Monday. Luckily for him, he spent a lot of time in college doing that. Most rookies come to their first NFL training camp having avoided special teams

play for most of their college careers, but Smith was a standout in those roles at San Jose State. He played on all four coverage and return teams there and has been doing so here with the Giants, as well. “I was all for it,” Smith said. “I knew that if I wanted to play in the NFL, I’d have to play special teams. Just having the experience — I’ve played every position on punts — it’s easier having that versatility.” The Giants are giving Smith a chance to show what he can do. In Friday’s game, he had eight snaps with the offense and nine on special teams. “In the game, I think I did a pretty good job,” Smith said. Ben McAdoo seemed impressed by both Smith and Jacob Huesman, the other true fullback on the roster. Unlike Smith, Huesman is new to the role as a converted quarterback from Tennessee-Chattanooga. Smith made the change from linebacker to fullback after his redshirt freshman year in college. “They’re doing a nice job,” McAdoo said. “Assignmentwise, they’re making progress . . . They’re getting better at special teams each and every day. It’s a great competition.” Just not a traditional one between two players, though. They’re both battling to make their dispensable position necessary on the Giants’ roster. That might be the toughest competition there is.

So, he’s special.” With so much riding on this season for Manning and the Giants, and a slew of new targets for him to throw to, Manning clearly does not have time to wait for his teammates to slowly digest the playbook and their assignments. “I’ve always thought that as a quarterback you have to be a great receivers coach,” Manning said. “That’s just part of the job. You have to be able to coach up receivers and talk to

Sullivan said in some circumstances, depending on the history he has with the receiver or the relationship they share, Manning might just give a nudge. “Or,” Sullivan said, “it might be a little more of the personality of his older brother in terms of getting in a guy’s face.” That’s a side of Manning few get to witness, but one that seems to be more prevalent in this training camp. Manning is not tolerating any slip-ups or slowdowns from his receivers this summer, as illustrated by Brandon Marshall this week. He told of Manning testing him on hand signals as the two emerged from the post-practice showers. He also spoke about Manning’s insistence that a certain route be run more precisely than Marshall was executing it. “He’s probably the most detailed quarterback I’ve been around,” Marshall said of Manning. “He knows what he wants and how he wants it. It took me up until two weeks ago to get this one route down. He threw a ball into the ground and I was two steps off. Literally two steps off, and he pulled me to the side and just kept coaching

them about hitting sticks or getting their depth and you have to be able to tell them exactly how you want them to do it and be on the same page with them.” “The feedback that he gives to the perimeter players,” Sullivan said, “the coaches can talk about why it’s important to take this angle or take these steps, but when you have the guy who has the ball who is coaching you up, and if you want the ball — and they all want the ball — they are going to do it the way he wants it.” Manning will get his first chance to see just how all of it is coming together tomorrow when he makes his preseason debut against the Browns. Ben McAdoo said he’d like to give Manning and the offensive starters “a good chunk of playing time into the second quarter” in that game. It will be Manning’s first opportunity to throw passes to Marshall, rookie Even Engram, Rhett Ellison and others against live competition. “I think you are always going to learn something from every practice, but especially from every game,” Manning said. “They’ll play different coverages than you expect, you’re going to get different looks, and you are going to have to adjust. “Some of the new guys,” he said, “we’ll learn together.”

False start: Jets, No. 5 BY BOB GLAUBER

DETROIT — Christian Hackenberg got the most meaningful audition of his fledgling career with the Jets in last night’s preseason game against the Lions. It did not go well. With the Jets trying to get a read on whether the secondyear quarterback is ready to take over as their starter, Hackenberg put on the kind of performance that suggests the answer is a resounding no. At least for now. Hackenberg, who started over veteran Josh McCown (who did not play last night) and third-year quarterback Bryce Petty, struggled through almost the entire first half before being replaced by Petty. After looking decent in last week’s 7-3 win over the Titans, when he was 18-for-25 for 127 yards, Hackenberg looked tentative and overmatched through most of his playing time against the Lions. He completed 2 of 6 passes for 14 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions, finishing with a rating of 42.4 in a 16-6 loss at Ford Field. With Hackenberg at quarterback this preseason, the Jets have not scored a point. His two biggest plays were a 12-yard scramble up the middle and a swing pass to run-

I don’t think anybody can have a chance when you block like that.” On Hackenberg’s first dropback of the night, he was whacked from his right side by defensive end Cornelius Washington, who was unblocked on the play. It’s uncertain whose fault it was that Washington broke free. Right

tackle Brandon Shell took an inside angle and Powell didn’t get over in time to block Washington. Hackenberg fumbled on the play, but the ball was recovered by guard James Carpenter.

Ex-Met Curtis Granderson, dealt to Dodgers late Friday night, celebrates after scoring in the seventh inning against Tigers.

MLB REPORT

Granderson hitless in debut for Dodgers

Ownership may need to shed Giancarlo Stanton’s massive contract. you’re not going to be able to put a team on the field.” The Marlins’ payroll this year is $118.7 million, according to spotrac.com. Loria watched batting practice with Mattingly but would not comment on the team sale, saying only that his reasons are “very personal.” Loria did talk about his AllStar slugger. “It’s spectacular,” he said. “It’s a result of all the hard work he puts in. There aren’t a lot of guys that work as hard as he does, both during the year and in the offseason, and you’ve seen the results.” Stanton, who did not speak to the media yesterday or Friday, is having a season worth talking about. He walked three times last night and is hitting .285 with 94 RBIs and a major league-leading 44 homers.

“He found a little groove,” Mattingly said. “I know he’s been working on some things with his swing . . . . I think the biggest thing with Giancarlo is getting good pitches to hit.” Health also is a major factor in Stanton’s success. Last season, he played only 119 games, a number he will match today if Mattingly puts him in the lineup. Two seasons ago, he played in only 74. Stanton played in at least 145 games only twice in his previous seven seasons. As technical as baseball analysis can get, sometimes it’s as simple as “is he on the field?’’ “If he’s out there every year, playing 150 games or 148, he’s going to hit 50,” Mattingly said. “That’s just the way it is . . . If he fell asleep the rest of the year, he’s going to hit 50.”

JIM MCISAAC

Even among his peers, Giancarlo Stanton stands out. In layman’s terms, he’s huge. His 6-6, 245-pound frame glided across the Marlins’ clubhouse Friday afternoon at Citi Field, headphones on, gaze pinpoint, his focus an example of what modern power can look like. It’s hard, by any standard, to be as locked in as Stanton has been lately. His streak of consecutive games with a home run ended at six on Wednesday, two short of the record shared by Dale Long, Ken Griffey Jr. and Don Mattingly, Stanton’s manager. “I was hoping he’d get to, like, 15,” Mattingly said before the Marlins’ 3-1 victory over the Mets on Friday night. “If he’s hitting homers, we usually have a pretty good chance of winning. I’m not one of those guys who sits back and says, ‘I hope nobody ever breaks it.’ I’m all for anyone doing it, especially when he’s on my club. It would have been nice to see it continue.” If history is any guide, success will continue for Stanton. Whether that success will continue in Miami is a different story, though. The slugger, who cleared waivers last week, has been the subject of trade rumors, with the Marlins reportedly willing to listen to offers either before the end of the month or this offseason. With a new ownership group headlined by Derek Jeter whose bid of $1.2 billion was accepted last week by Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, the possibility of shedding a contract that has 10 years and nearly $300 million remaining is attractive. “You have to look at who we are,” Mattingly said. “Each team is individual in what their payroll is and what they can afford. If one guy is going to be 50 percent of your payroll,

Curtis Granderson received an ovation yesterday when he came to bat for the first time as a Dodger, even though it was a road game. He played his first six seasons in Detroit and remains popular in the Motor City, even though he was traded to the Yankees after the 2009 season. Granderson, traded from the Mets late Friday night, batted fifth and went 0-for-4, but he reached on a two-base error in the seventh inning and scored the game’s first run in the Dodgers’ 3-0 win over the Tigers. The win was the Dodgers’ sixth in a row and 21st in 24 games. Detroit has lost six straight and 12 of 14. Dodgers rightfielder Cody Bellinger left the game in the seventh inning. He rolled his right ankle in the sixth while catching a fly ball. Bellinger is listed as day to day.

Struggling lefthander Aroldis Chapman was relieved of his Yankees closer duties after implosions during his last four outings. ify). So being charged with a blown save when it’s not the ninth inning chafes some of the Yankees’ relievers. “We’ve had lots of discussions about that,” Warren said. “If you don’t actually have a chance to save a game, maybe you should get a blown hold or something like that versus a blown save. To get a blown save in the seventh inning is kind of hard.” Betances, Kahnle and Jonathan Holder have two blown saves apiece. Robertson, Chad Green, Chasen Shreve

and Giovanny Gallegos have one each. The Yankees won six of the 22 games in which one of their relievers was charged with a blown save, including the 18-inning epic at the Cubs on May 7 when Chapman gave up three runs in the ninth inning to send the game to extras. Extra extras. Clippard, Warren and Kahnle have all “vultured” wins — they blew the save and ended up as the winning pitcher when the Yankees rallied.

Holder, by the way, has three holds this season. Holds hang around the periphery of being useful information. Did the reliever’s team still have the lead when he left the game? “For a middle reliever, a hold is probably more important than a win and is almost as good as a save,” said Warren, who has 10 holds, three wins, two losses and one save. “Because as a middle reliever, you don’t get a lot of chances to save games.”

hen Aroldis Chapman blew a save against the Red Sox in the ninth inning of the Yankees’ 3-2, 10-inning loss last Sunday, it was the Yankees’ 20th blown save, which at the time was secondmost in the majors. For a team that is built on its bullpen — especially after the July trade for David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle — 20 seems a tad high. Only Seattle, with 22, had more at the time. But Yankees manager Joe Girardi had an interesting comment when he was asked about that statistic in the immediate aftermath of that disappointing defeat. “I think that statistic is — when you hear ‘blown save,’ it sounds like 20 in the ninth inning,” Girardi said. “I think that can be a misleading number — makes it sound like it’s 20 in the ninth inning. And that would be an issue.” Chapman’s blown save, which came on a home run by rookie Rafael Devers on a 103-mph fastball, was notable because it was only the second home run Chapman has allowed to a lefthanded batter in his eight-year big-league career. It also was only the fourth ninth-inning blown save by a Yankee this season. So Girardi was right. After Friday’s game — in which Kahnle blew a save to the Red Sox in the seventh inning — the Yankees have 22 blown saves, which is tied with Seattle for the most in the majors. But nine of them have come in the seventh inning, four in the eighth, four in the sixth and one in the 10th. Chapman had been the Yankees’ closer until yesterday, so it makes sense that three of his four blown saves have come in the ninth. The other came in the eighth. Dellin Betances has the other ninth-inning blown save. It came on June 27 at the White Sox.

But even if that is the case, the question becomes how long Alderson will choose to sign on for. He will turn 70 in November, in an industry that keeps tapping the next round of Ivy League 30-somethings to do the same job, and he’s also battled cancer since the Mets’ World Series appearance. That said, Alderson has shown no signs of slowing down, as illustrated by his vigorous sell-off during the past few weeks and edgy news conference Wednesday during the Subway Series, when he publicly scolded Robert Gsellman

does return. The way the deal is structured, however, his annual salary declines over the next three years, going from $20 million next season to $15 million in 2019 and $12 million in 2020. The only way out for Alderson is if Wright is medically unable to play, a situation that would allow insurance to pay the Mets 75 percent of the remaining money on his contract. But neither side is there yet, and Alderson apparently has to factor in Wright’s presence in planning, both budget-wise and at the position. “You can see it played out in 2017,” Alderson said. “And so it will play out to some extent in 2018. We don’t have an everyday top-shelf third-base option the way some teams do. Not that we have played terribly at third base. But we didn’t go into the season with a solidified situation in part because we’re not sure what David’s condition would be. Now, as we go into 2018, do we build on what we learned in 2017 and act accordingly and consider moving David to another position, that sort of thing? That’s all something that has to be evaluated as we get into the offseason.” Wright’s absence, however, has been felt beyond the field, and the void left by the captain definitely impaired Collins’ effectiveness. Every manager needs a few strong voices among the players to help steer the clubhouse in the right direction, and the veteran framework put in place began to erode once the Mets’ season went south. Rather than concentrate on performance and winning games, the free agents turned too much of their attention on their looming exit, leaving Collins in a custodial role during the 2017 transition. It’s been literally a no-win scenario this season for Collins, whose seven-year tenure, after passing Davey Johnson for Mets longevity, appears destined to fizzle with an undignified end. Collins, 68, is the sport’s oldest manager, and like Alderson, faces competition from a much younger generation, schooled in advanced analytics and developed to be an extension of the front office. Collins has achieved a level of success that few predicted when he was named to replace Jerry Manuel after the 2010 season, but the Mets are in upheaval again, and he’s on the wrong side of history this time.

home, namely Alderson and Terry Collins? They seem to be looking at very different futures, with Alderson almost certainly staying put as general manager and Collins probably moving on, realizing that his chapter in the manager’s office is coming to a natural close. Though Mets ownership hasn’t made any decisions on either with six weeks left in the season — the Wilpons rarely do with games still to play — the current assignments of Alderson and Collins suggest where the franchise is headed. Alderson spends plenty of time these days talking about the blueprint for 2018, a conversation that he continued this past week in touching on a number of subjects, including payroll and the prognosis for David Wright. As for Collins, he’s left to preside over a pair of promising rookies and the skeleton of a once-promising roster, with a rotation that’s been steadily leaking potential. When Alderson was asked what his goals are as Mets GM and how much longer that might take in his current role, he was vague on the subject. In 2015, he engineered a World Series run that seemed a year or two ahead of schedule. But this season represents a few steps backward, tumbling toward what could be the Mets’ first 90-loss campaign since 2009 despite an Opening Day payroll of $155 million. A costly belly-flop of this degree is the type of thing that can lead to changes in the front office, but the stunning rash of Mets injuries gives Alderson & Co. a built-in excuse and should leave them an opportunity for another rebuild, again around the rotation. Considering that only the Reed trade brought back what might be evaluated as a decent prospect haul, Alderson’s focus should be less on development this offseason and more on bringing in immediate, major league-ready help, with the assumption that he’ll be piloting the ship again. “My job currently entails thinking about 2018, 2019, and that doesn’t change based on contract status,” Alderson said. “That’s just the nature of my position. From my standpoint, I’m honestly not thinking about [my contract] except when I have to respond to a question. We have a lot to do between now and the end of the season. That’s what I’m focused on.” When Alderson was asked about mapping out his future in

Dramatic music pumps through Citi Field minutes before the first pitch, accompanied by scoreboard images of Jacob deGrom’s menacing glare or a digitally enhanced clip of Yoenis Cespedes’ bat splintering as he takes a mighty hack. But last night it was clear that it’s been a pretty frantic few weeks for whoever puts together this sort of thing. Gone were the images of Curtis Granderson and Jay Bruce. Lucas Duda was nowhere to be seen, nor was Rene Rivera, the latest to be sacrificed to the Mets’ fire sale. Instead, it was Brandon Nimmo giving his best Clint Eastwood stare and Kevin Plawecki scowling purposefully at the camera. Rafael Montero had his chance to glower, too. Suffice to say, things have changed a whole lot in the past three weeks. A lot had changed just in the last 24 hours, as Granderson was dealt to the Dodgers and Rivera departed for the Cubs. But if there is anything to be gained from all this, it was staring back at the fans in the form of Nimmo, Plawecki and Montero. Montero had his best start of the year in an 8-1 win over the Marlins, Plawecki homered and Nimmo helped ignite the Mets’ seven-run sixth inning. “It kind of felt like my first day in the big leagues again,” Plawecki said. While Amed Rosario and Dominic Smith have gotten the most hype, it’s becoming clear that the final six weeks of the season could be just as important to several others, too. “A lot of circumstances in the past, they can look in the mirror and say, ‘Jeez, all I’m doing is filling in,’ ” Terry Collins said. “With what’s occurred here in the last couple of weeks, I think Kevin Plawecki said to himself that this is his ultimate opportunity to show that he should stay here.

our starting pitching, there’s a possibility of a job here.” Nimmo, who suffered from limited chances because of the Mets’ former glut in the outfield, now can roam free in the great expanse of centerfield. Plawecki, who was rushed to the big leagues in 2015 and floundered at the plate, finally found his swing in Triple-A this year. He was hitting .328 with 17 doubles and nine homers in 64 games with the Las Vegas 51s. And Montero (2-8, 5.47 ERA), who so often this season appeared as if he had no business on the mound, looked positively reborn. After a good start against the Yankees, he allowed one earned run, six hits and three walks with five strikeouts in six innings against the Marlins. He left the game down 1-0 before Matt Reynolds, pinch hitting for him, walked in the bottom of the sixth. Nimmo moved him to third with a single and Reynolds scored the Mets’ first run on a sacrifice fly by Asdrubal Cabrera. Wilmer Flores hit his 15th homer, a two-run shot, and Plawecki added another two-run blast, his first with the Mets this year. They scored seven that inning, helped by three infield errors. And let’s give Rosario and Smith their due; they helped turn five double plays, tied for the franchise high. Smith added a solo homer in the eighth. “Tough for us,” Collins said before the game of Granderson’s departure. “[But] we gotta get the attention back on the game and go back and play the game right . . . I don’t care whose name is on the uniform, this is the big leagues.” For one night, those names were Nimmo, Plawecki and Montero. And at least for last night, it was enough.

A return to effectiveness for Steven Matz. Proof that Amed Rosario and Dominic Smith are ready for prime time. A new face in the manager’s office. There’s your 2018 Mets wish list. Unfortunately, the only one that seems guaranteed is Terry Collins not returning. Sandy Alderson’s teardown / sell-off of the Mets’ former free-agents-to-be appears complete after Friday’s trade of Curtis Granderson to the Dodgers and yesterday’s waiver claim of Rene Rivera by the Cubs. Alderson put out the “everything must go” sign on July 27

when he traded Lucas Duda to the Rays. Less than a month later, the shelves have been picked clean. The return for Duda, Granderson, Rivera, Bruce, Neil Walker and Addison Reed was pitching prospects and financial relief, $10 million or more in savings that we all know the Mets are going to pour right back into the franchise for 2018. Just kidding. We don’t actually know that the Mets will aggressively spend in the offseason. That’s what they should do, whether it’s those free agents or others, but the Mets do not get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to spending. They have earned the skepticism of most of their fan base in that regard. A few days ago, Alderson was asked just that — if the dollars saved will be spent on next season’s payroll. “What I do is I try to look at the aggregate,” he said. “So we’ve added a number of good arms [and] have pared our payroll . . .

Brandon Nimmo also is ex-

Asdrubal Cabrera and Jerry Blevins could have value to a contender, but both are under the Mets’ control for next season and, the Mets hope, will be part of the solution for 2018. Granderson’s departure means an expanded role for former No. 1 pick Brandon Nimmo, who started in centerfield and batted leadoff last night. Terry Collins said he will not use the lefthanded-hitting Nimmo in a straight platoon with Juan Lagares, but the Mets could use this season to see if that combination could be a cost-effective an-

swer in center next year. The Mets recalled Kevin Plawecki from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace Rivera on the roster. Collins said Plawecki will share time with Travis d’Arnaud so the Mets can see what they have in Plawecki. Asked what he wants to see from Plawecki, Collins said: “Improvement.

Fresh off the trade of Curtis Granderson to the Dodgers, the Mets yesterday allowed the Cubs to have catcher Rene Rivera on a straight waiver claim. The Mets and Cubs apparently were unable to reach an agreement on a Rivera trade after Chicago claimed him, so the Mets simply said, “You take

him,” and Rivera packed his bags and left to join the reigning World Series champions. General manager Sandy Alderson’s trading off of Mets veterans might be complete. Since July, the Mets have traded Lucas Duda, Addison Reed, Jay Bruce, Neil Walker and Granderson, who was shipped to Los Angeles along with cash for a player to be named after Friday night’s raindelayed game against Miami.

He was batting .328 with nine homers and 45 RBIs in 64 games for Las Vegas. He started for the Mets last night and hit a long two-run homer. “These last few weeks here are important,” he said. “But not any more important than any other time I’ve been here.” The Mets activated lefthander Tommy Milone from the 60-day disabled list to replace Granderson on the roster.

than 11 home runs in a season. Still, a platoon of Nimmo and Juan Lagares could be in the offing for 2018. Re-signing Bruce (and playing Michael Conforto in center) or signing Cain would be better. But there’s that money thing again. Nimmo and Lagares combined would cost about $7 million. Bruce is making $13 million this season and Cain, the Royals’ centerfielder, will be looking to cash in on his first free-agent foray after making $11 million this year. One year for $7 million or many years and many millions of dollars? You do the Mets math. Moustakas, who is 28 and has 35 home runs for the Royals, probably will be even more expensive, and the Mets still have David Wright signed for three years and $47 million with no guarantee he’ll ever play again. So that’s probably just a pipe dream anyway. Another pipe dream? That Syndergaard, Harvey, Matz, Wheeler, Jacob deGrom and Familia will all be healthy and pitching at the top of their games in 2018. But the way the Mets are built, and likely will be rebuilt before next season, that has to happen, regardless of who’s in the lineup or manager’s office. Fingers crossed, Mets fans.

With one out and two on in the second inning, Austin unloaded on a 96-mph four-seam fastball from the AL Cy Young Award favorite. His blast cleared everything in leftfield and landed on Lansdowne Street. “He started me off with two changeups, and all night against him, I was looking for a fastball and didn’t really think too much about breaking pitches,” Austin said. “Just try to sit on the fastball because his breaking pitches are really, really good [and] I didn’t want to get into that.” With one on and one out in the fourth, Sale again tried to get Austin with a four-seamer.

He hit a rocket to centerfield that appeared to be an extrabase hit, but Jackie Bradley Jr. made the catch at the top of his leap against the garage door on the leftfield side of the 420-foot mark. “I thought I hit it pretty good. It was a heck of a play,” Austin said. “That was a great play. He’s a really good centerfielder and he’s going to do that to guys for a long time, like the one he took away from [Aaron] Judge earlier this year [robbing him of a home run].” Austin, who also doubled to left-center to start the ninth, has had a difficult season. He started

the season on the 60-day disabled list after fouling a ball off his left ankle and fracturing it in spring training. He returned in late June and played in four games before being sent back to Triple-A Scranton/WilkesBarre. When first baseman Garrett Cooper suffered a hamstring injury last week, Austin was brought up to start against the Mets on Thursday night and went 2-for-4. Bird (bone bruise in right ankle) last night followed a twohomer game for Scranton with another two-hit outing and could be back with the Yankees as soon as this week’s series in Detroit. Castro and Holliday both started minor-league rehab assignments on Friday.

BOSTON — When your days are numbered, you have to make the most of them. Tyler Austin did exactly that last night. With Starlin Castro, Greg Bird and Matt Holliday all close to returning from the disabled list, the recently promoted Yankees outfielder/first baseman very likely is headed to the minors. He’ll return to the Yankees when rosters expand Sept. 1. But when he goes back to Triple-A, he can continue to savor what he contributed in last night’s 4-3 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park: a three-run homer off Boston ace Chris Sale in his first career atbat against the lefthander. “It was a special moment,” Austin said.

AFTER HBP, FRAZIER MAKES SALE, SOX PAY BY ROGER RUBIN

Special to Newsday

BOSTON — In the second inning of the Yankees’ 4-3 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park last night, it looked as if Todd Frazier might be coming out of the game. He didn’t, fortunately for the Yankees. By the time it was over, he was an unsung hero in the victory. Frazier got drilled in the left shin by a Chris Sale pitch that made his leg go numb. He was tended to by team medical personnel and stayed in. He seemed to be favoring one side as he jogged home when Tyler Austin followed with a three-run homer. Still, Frazier remained to make a pair of contributions in the sixth inning. He hit a solo homer off Sale for a 4-2 lead, then snared a line drive that likely would have driven in a Boston run. His homer carried just enough to make it to the first row of the seats atop the Green Monster. “Here all you’ve got to do is basically touch it — get it in the air and the ball will go,” Frazier said. “That’s what happened, man . . . I was just willing it out of here. I was like ‘Get up! Get up!’ and it was perfect placement.” With speedy Mookie Betts on second in the bottom of the inning, Hanley Ramirez hit a rocket to the left side and Frazier dived to grab it. “To make that, that’s a big play,” he said. “That’s another run and we’re probably looking at extra innings.” Frazier said adrenaline kept him in the game. “I felt it pretty much the whole game, but the adrenaline goes and you go,” he said. “Big character win today and I was glad to be a part of it.”

a Monster night BY ROGER RUBIN

Special to Newsday

BOSTON — Addison Reed arrived at spring training this season believing he would be playing in the 2017 World Series. He said that, to a man, all of his teammates thought the same thing. He experiences the same feeling today, but it’s with the Red Sox, not the Mets. Only two years removed from a World Series appearance and one year from a postseason trip, the Mets are being dismantled. It’s been happening for nearly a month now. Reed was among the first to go, to Boston on July 31. Most recently, the Mets sent Curtis Granderson to the Dodgers and Rene Rivera to the Cubs. “There wasn’t a person in the room that didn’t honestly, truly believe we were going to get to the World Series together this year,” Reed said, referring to February in Port St. Lucie, Flor-

ida. “It’s a fun thing about baseball, this thing that’s happening now. If you’re not going to stay on that team and do it together, why would you not want to go to a contender? There’s me and five or six other guys from the team that started spring training with the Mets that now have real, real chances of making the playoffs.” Along with Reed, Granderson and Rivera, Jay Bruce was dealt to the Indians, Neil Walker to the Brewers and Lucas Duda to the Rays in this trading spree. Entering play yesterday, each of those former Mets was on a club within three games of a playoff spot. “There was no doubt if the Mets stayed healthy, they’d have had a pretty good chance to go the whole way,” Reed said. “Even the year they made the World Series in 2015, there were a ton of injuries and they overcame all of them. And then last year, it was like almost the

Getting something — prospects or salary relief — for a player on an expiring contract and giving playing time to prospects is what teams in the Mets’ shoes do. But he also suggests there could be a longer view to things.

YANKEES NOTEBOOK

BY ERIK BOLAND

BOSTON — Greg Bird is closing in on a return to the big leagues. The rehabbing first baseman, coming off a two-homer night Friday against Durham, started a fourth straight game last night for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and went 2-for-4 with a double. Bird was 4-for-10 with two homers, four RBIs and three

runs in his first three games. “He looked pretty good,” said Joe Girardi, who watched Bird’s at-bats on video yesterday. “We’ll continue to monitor his progress.” Bird, dealing with a bone bruise in his right ankle that necessitated surgery in July, has not played in the majors since May 1. He was 6-for-60 with one homer and three RBIs. He missed the entire 2016 season because of shoulder surgery. The Yankees will start a three-

game series in Detroit on Tuesday night. Girardi wouldn’t rule out a possible return by then, though he made it clear that decision will rest with the Yankees’ medical staff and front office. “You have to remember he has not played a lot in two years,” he said. “But they might say he’s ready and we might take him.”

Jordan Montgomery, who allowed three runs in five innings

Friday night, was sent back to Triple-A, the corresponding roster move as CC Sabathia was activated from the disabled list to start last night. Montgomery is on an innings limit — in the neighborhood of 180 — which the Yankees will continue to manipulate in the minors. “The innings are so much more stressful up here,” Girardi said. “We’ve tried to limit some of the innings with him and because of injuries [such as the one

to Sabathia], it hasn’t worked. He’s really pitched pretty well, but we’re trying to reduce it.” Montgomery, who threw 139 1/3 innings last season, is at 126 this season. Girardi said Montgomery, 7-6 with a 4.00 ERA, is likely to be recalled Sept. 1 when rosters expand.

BOSTON — Friday night’s loss was as crushing a defeat as the Yankees have had all season. Their bullpen blew a late threerun lead and, as part of the trickle-down from a three-run loss that dropped them five games behind Boston, Aroldis Chapman lost his closer job. With Boston ace Chris Sale on deck, last night presented a recipe for ugliness. Instead, the Yankees came through with one of their more inspired efforts. Behind six strong innings by fresh-off-the-disabled-list CC Sabathia, a three-run homer by Tyler Austin, a solo shot by Todd Frazier and a rickety but ultimately effective performance from a rejiggered bullpen, the Yankees edged the Red Sox, 4-3, in front of 37,274 at Fenway Park. “This team really fights, and they’ve done a pretty good job of turning the page,” Joe Girardi said. “That’s really important because you’re going to have some tough losses, and I think our guys have handled it well. It says a lot about the guys in that room.” The Yankees (66-56) pulled within four games of the AL East-leading Red Sox (70-52). In three previous starts against the Yankees this season, Sale had a 1.19 ERA and struck out 35 in 22 2/3 innings. He struck out nine in seven innings this time but fell to 0-2 with two nodecisions against them in 2017. “We’ve battled him,” said Sabathia, given a 3-0 lead on Austin’s three-run homer onto Lansdowne Street in the second and a 4-2 cushion on Frazier’s blast in the sixth. “But yeah, it’s a big win for us and it’s kind of a big loss for them because they need to win the games when he’s out there.” Sabathia was forced from his last start, Aug. 8 in Toronto, with severe pain in his right knee and talked afterward like someone who thought his career might be over.

going to move him,” he said. That was not the case with Chapman, demoted earlier in the day, with Girardi saying “matchups” would dictate his late-inning use of relievers. Adam Warren and David Robertson served as a bridge to Dellin Betances. Warren allowed a solo homer by 20-year-old rookie Rafael Devers, the newest Yankee-killer, that made it 4-3 in the seventh. Robertson, who earned the nickname “Houdini” during his first go-round with the Yankees, struck out Xander Bogaerts swinging to escape a bases-loaded jam in the eighth. Betances earned his ninth

save, but it wasn’t easy. It rarely is here. He struck out Devers and Sandy Leon, but on the latter strikeout, the curveball got away from Gary Sanchez for a wild pitch — the second time a Boston batter reached first on a strikeout/wild pitch in two innings. But Sanchez gunned down pinch runner Brock Holt when he tried to steal second and Jackie Bradley Jr. flied to left to end it. “That was unbelievable,” Betances said of Sanchez’s throw. “I’m slow to the plate, so that was probably like a 1.7 to second. That was an unbelievable throw.”

BOSTON — The closer who signed the biggest contract ever given to a relief pitcher is no longer a closer. Joe Girardi temporarily pulled the plug on Aroldis Chapman yesterday, saying he will use him “at any point” in the game in an attempt to get him back on track. “He’s been scuffling for the last 10 days, two weeks,” Girardi said. “And I just thought for us to get him on track, maybe the best way would be to move him around a little bit until he gets going and then when we get him going like I believe he will get going, there’s a good chance I’ll put him right back in that closer’s role and manipulate the other three guys.” For now, the role will be shared by Dellin Betances and David Robertson depending on “matchups.” Robertson pitched the eighth and Betances the ninth in last night’s 4-3 win over the Red Sox. Girardi said Friday afternoon that Chapman was his closer, but that night he made it four straight poor outings, giving up two eighth-inning runs in a 9-6 loss to Boston. Girardi said the club has eliminated the possibility that Chapman — signed to a fiveyear, $86-million free-agent deal in the offseason — is hiding an injury or tipping his pitches. “We’ve looked at everything,” he said. “And I really think it comes down to his location. He’s been up in the zone more.” When Girardi spoke with Chapman to discuss the demotion, “he said he’s here to help us win, whatever it takes. And he knows that he needs to get back on track and that he’s scuffled a little bit, but he said I’m willing to do anything, I just want to win.” Chapman said after last night’s game, “We had a conversation. They told me about it. I accepted their decision and [I’ll pitch] wherever they need me.”

NEWSDAY, SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 2017

As for Chapman, Girardi said “I will use him at any point, similar to what we’re doing with our other relievers.” But on the first day of this new arrangement, there seemed to be some confusion. Betances just assumed that Robertson would close, based on his seniority — and 132 career saves. In this case, however, Girardi chose Robertson to set up because he was available to pitch more than one inning. And he wrapped up the four-out assignment by whiffing Xander Bogaerts on three pitches with the bases loaded to end the eighth. Most relievers want to know their place in the world. But Girardi is fortunate to have two who don’t seem to mind. “I don’t worry too much about it,” Robertson said. “That’s not my job. My job is to throw strikes, get guys out and keep runners off the bases. Sometimes that’s hard for me.

BOSTON t first, only two Yankees knew that Aroldis Chapman had been stripped of his closer’s title in the hours before last night’s game against the Red Sox. That was Chapman and Joe Girardi, the manager who told him of the decision. The rest of the bullpen was kept in the dark. Sort of. “I found out on social media,” Dellin Betances said. “Like everything else these days.” Eventually, word trickled down, but there was a crucial detail left out, as in who exactly would replace Chapman if the Yankees were fortunate enough to be in a save situation later that night. Girardi informed both Betances and David Robertson that he planned to pick one of them, but didn’t specify which. It wasn’t until the bullpen phone rang for Robertson with two outs in the seventh inning that Betances said he “put two and two together.” By process of elimination, this save opportunity belonged to Betances, and he filled Chapman’s vacancy with a hitless ninth to nail down the 4-3 victory. “For me as a fan and as a player, I know we need Chapman to be Chapman,” Betances said. “We need him to win this whole thing. It’s a tough spot for him, but everything’s temporary.” For all the pregame drama, with Girardi having to explain Chapman’s demotion — a drastic step to take with an $86-million closer — the Yankees could have used a one-sided win to catch their breath and reboot the bullpen. Instead, Girardi had to navigate through a tight three innings, going from Adam Warren to Robertson to Betances.

the direct approach. They didn’t punt on the problem. Ultimately, the manager reasoned, something had to be done. “I tried to stress to him how important he is to us,” Girardi said pregame. “And that we believe in him and he’s just going through a hard time and we need to get him right. The law of averages is he’s going to get right.” Maybe Girardi’s correct in that assumption, because Chapman can’t pitch any worse. Over his last four appearances, Chapman has allowed seven earned runs in 4 1/ 3 innings, for a 14.54 ERA. During this season, as a whole, Chapman’s numbers have been way off his career benchmarks with a 4.29 ERA (2.27), 2.54 strikeout/walk ratio (3.61) and 12.6 K/9 (15.0). After the win, Chapman was fine with Girardi’s verdict. “I accepted the decision,” Chapman said through his translator. “I’m here to pitch wherever they need me.” We’ll see how soon that ends up being the ninth inning again. Girardi made no promises that Chapman would automatically get his job back if the current system was working well. And Chapman seems to understand his situation remains up in the air. “I really don’t know,” he said. “It’s up to the manager.” That’s a common reply among Yankees’ relievers these days.

ames Cameron has taken time out from crafting the upcoming four “Avatar” sequels to return to one of his old films, one he says is as up-to-theminute as ever — “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” Cameron converted the 26-year-old film — in which one robot with artificial intelligence battles another to stop nuclear annihilation — into a 3-D format that hits movie theaters Friday. It arrives just as escalating tensions over North Korea’s nuclear ambitions are in the headlines. “I think the film is as timely as it ever was, probably more so, less on the nuclear side and more on the AI side and dealing with our relationship with our own technology,” Cameron said recently. “And how do we really stand the possibility of making ourselves obsolete?” The 1991 release — a sequel to the 1984 original — starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Edward Furlong, Linda Hamilton and Robert Patrick. It followed Sarah Connor and her 10-year-old son, John, fleeing an advanced shapeshifting Terminator sent back in time to kill them. Schwarzenegger’s less advanced Terminator was also sent back in time to protect the pair. The film featured a scene in which Sarah Connor imagines a nuclear blast consuming Los Angeles. “I tend to be kind of an apocalyptic kind of guy. I look at all the worst-case

e may have started out a mild-mannered teacher in Illinois, but Philip Ng has set his sights on becoming an international martial arts movie star. And if any film can help make that happen, it’s “Birth of the Dragon,” in which he plays Bruce Lee, the greatest martial arts megastar of all time. The film, which premieres in theaters Friday, tells the true tale — shrouded in secrecy for decades — of a martial arts showdown between a young, brash Lee (Ng) and a mysterious kung fu master from China named Wong Jack Man (played with an intense stillness by Chinese actor Xia Yu). Little is known about the no-holdsbarred battle — not even who won — except that it changed Lee, who soon after leapt to superstardom in a series of films (including “Enter the Dragon”), single-handedly popularizing kung fu in the United States. Ng, 39, was born in Hong Kong, raised in Chicago, and then moved back to Hong Kong 15 years ago to pursue his dream of breaking into the martial arts movie biz. He succeeded, working as a stuntman, fight choreographer, director and actor (“Wild City,” “Zombie Fight Club”). This film (in which he performs his own stunts) marks his North American debut. He spoke with Newsday contributor Joseph V. Amodio by phone from a remote location in rural China, where he is shooting a Chinese television series

incorporating street fighting, and treating it as something secular rather than a religious pursuit. He saw kung fu as a pragmatic skill, like cooking or chopping wood. There’s a specific goal — to incapacitate your opponent — using principles of simplicity, efficiency and directness. It’s like basketball players — they’re all playing basketball, but they have different styles that suit their body shapes and athletic abilities. Bruce Lee thought

the same thing — find what works for you. Whenever you’re revolutionary, you’ll be seen as an outsider. But 40 years later, his ideas are prevalent in sports like MMA [mixed martial arts]. You’re raised in America, get a master’s degree, then start off as a teacher — what subject did you teach, by the way? Art.

Really! So you’ve got art on one side of your resume, mortal combat on the other. Yeah. [He chuckles.] My father owns a martial arts school in Chicago. He’s an accountant. [He laughs

harder.] That’s his main job. But we own a martial arts school. For us, martial arts is like brushing your teeth. Sorry? It’s like brushing your teeth or taking a shower — you have to do it. It’s part of life’s routine. Of course, it’s a lot deeper than that. What’s a big misconception about martial arts movies? To the uninitiated, they seem like just a series of fights. The fighting is actually dialogue — each punch is a way for you to deliver an idea. Those fists and kicks tell a story. Like if I’m in a scene protecting somebody, but scared of my opponent, I’ll deliver that punch differently than if I’m a bully picking on a small kid. The action you see in movies today, the fisticuffs, the fighting — a lot of those techniques originated in the Hong Kong cinema, in the 1970s and ’80s, starting with Bruce Lee, and on up to Jackie Chan.

How big a Bruce Lee fan were you before shooting this film? Big. He influenced my path. My own sifu — that is, my own master, the person who taught me Wing Chun [a form of kung fu] — actually trained Bruce Lee. They were close.

Well, it seems to be working for you. I’d say “break a leg” on your next project, but that doesn’t seem the best thing to say to a martial arts expert. Yeah. [He laughs.] But it’s a well-wishing thing, so I appreciate it.

Why was Bruce Lee such an outlier in the world of martial arts? He ticked off a lot of traditional practitioners by teaching Westerners, GETTY IMAGES / SONIA RECCHIA

NEWSDAY, SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 2017

So you had the grad degree, the art teacher job — but you give it all up and move to Hong Kong in the hopes of . . . becoming a martial arts star. How tough was it to make that leap? In the beginning, you’re like, OK, OK . . . give yourself a few years to see if it works out. But when you get over here, you realize you can’t just try, you have to give it your all or quit. I got lucky — I started as a stuntman and worked my way up. Was it hard moving here? Yeah. But . . . if you’re moving forward, not backward, then you can keep pursuing your dreams. When opportunities come up, treat every single one like it’s the biggest thing ever, and you’ll get where you deserve to be. I’m a firm believer in that.

Film historian Michael Troyan serves as your guide in his stunning new book, “Twentieth Century Fox: A Century of Entertainment” (Lyons Press, $50), which covers every inch of the movie company that opened its gates in 1915 as Fox Film Corp. (Its ultimate name didn’t come until the merger with Twentieth Century Pictures in 1935.) At more than 700 pages, lifting the book will do wonders for your biceps. Your eyes also will get a good workout poring over hundreds of rarely seen photos from the archives of the studio responsible for such cinematic treasures as “All About Eve,” “The Sound of Music” and Betty Grable’s gams. Undoubtedly, Fox’s most iconic star remains Marilyn Monroe, who’s seen in dozens of gorgeous photos, including a “Niagara” publicity still in which she sizzles in a hot pink dress, and a more innocent 1946 image of Monroe, then 20, lunching with actress Jean Peters in the Café de Paris. Troyan also spotlights the many sets on the lot (Old New York Street showed up in everything from “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” to “The Girl Can’t Help It”) and devotes sections to shooting locations for every Fox feature, awards and a complete studio filmography. It all makes for a fantastic Fox tale. — DANIEL BUBBEO

hen “Transformers: The Last Knight” arrived in theaters in June, virtually everyone hated it. The fifth installment in Michael Bay’s robot-vehicle franchise was the worst-reviewed yet, earning a dismal 14 percent at RottenTomatoes and dubbed “2017’s Most Toxic Movie” by Rolling Stone. Audiences, too, shunned the film. With a $44 million opening weekend, less than half that of the previous film, “The Last Knight” is shaping up as the worst performer in the series by far. Guess what? The studio, Paramount Pictures, is not only working on a sixth “Transform-

Shunned by audiences and blasted by critics, these Hollywood properties somehow keep stumbling forward. Universal Pictures’ “The Mummy,” released in June, has been a box-office disappointment, but the studio still plans to create a multi-film “monsterverse” starring the Wolf Man, Frankenstein and other classic Universal movie creations. The May release

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” another badly reviewed and poorly attended film, could still pave the way for a sixth film in the series. If nobody seems to like these movies, why do they keep getting made? One reason is the increasing dominance of Disney, which owns three dependably high-grossing movie brands: Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars. Last year, Disney became the highest-grossing studio with more than 26 percent of total box office — a larger share than any studio has earned this century, according to BoxOfficeMojo. As

a result, other studios are trying to duplicate Disney’s success with their own franchises and “universes.” “Disney is so dominant in this market that the other studios have to play their game,” says Bruce Nash, founder of the box-office tracking website TheNumbers.com. With a schedule that includes roughly five movies a year that are likely to earn more than $500 million apiece — upcoming titles include Marvel’s “Black Panther,” Pixar’s “Coco” and the untitled “Star Wars” spinoff based on Han Solo — Disney is “just going to keep cranking those out,” Nash says. “And all the other studios are going to have to compete. So you’re just going to get a schedule of cookie-cutter movies that all feel the same.” That may bore American

moviegoers, but Chinese audiences remain entranced. China last year added more than 7,500 new movie screens for a total of about 39,000, a close second to America’s 40,475 screens, according to a 2016 report from the London-based research firm IHS Markit. For a Chinese moviegoer who hasn’t yet seen “Transformers” or “The Mummy” on an IMAX screen or with state-of-the-art effects, “that’s a completely different experience,” Nash says. “Whereas, for us, we’ve become a little bit jaded.” In short, movies that play terribly at home often succeed overseas, which encourages studios to make more of the same type of movies. “So,” Nash says, “we’re stuck.” There have been some bright spots this summer, namely: “Spider-Man: Homecoming”

turn its classic monster movies into a new “monsterverse” full of creatures like The Wolf Man and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. “The Mummy” was intended to launch this Dark Universe, as it’s officially known, using the star power of Tom Cruise. Instead, the movie has been a box-office dud. “I still think they have the makings of something interesting,” Nash says of the Universal franchise. Rather than make a risky $200 million movie every year, he suggests, “find a young director, give them $30 million and see what they can do.”

The review-aggregating website RottenTomatoes.com seems to be “slowing down the potential business of popcorn movies,” according to a recent report from Deadline.com. “The Last Knight” received a B+ grade from the audience-polling firm CinemaScore — meaning viewers enjoyed it well enough — but it’s been tanking at the domestic box office, perhaps because poor reviews kept potential ticket buyers away. Another recent film that polled with a decent B+ but sold poorly after scathing reviews is the comedy “Baywatch,” currently hovering at $58 million.

And it was good.” Soon after the release, Warner Bros. announced a sequel to the film; Gadot also will play Wonder Woman in November’s superhero-ensemble film “Justice League.”

Scott Mendelson, who writes about the film industry for Forbes magazine, noted that “King” reinvented its characters so dramatically that they were barely recognizable. “That film was ill conceived from the getgo,” Mendelson says. “When you take a property and emphasize all the ways it’s different from the property people know and love, then who are you making this for?” With Ritchie currently directing Disney’s live-action “Aladdin,” the fate of additional “King Arthur” films looks far from certain.

The fifth film in the series caused critics to beg for mercy — “Can we toast the end of this franchise? Please?” wrote Moira MacDonald in the Seattle Times. It made a meager $171 million domestically. Overseas, however, it racked up $604 million for a total of $776 million worldwide. “That is a substantial number,” says Karie Bible, boxoffice analyst at Exhibitor Relations, who fully expects to see a sixth “Pirates” installment from Disney. “They’d be fools not to do more, based on that.”

For reasons both commercial and cultural, Afro-punk has greatly expanded over the years. “For me, Afro-punk is a platform to celebrate black excellence in whatever form it takes,” said festival co-manager Jocelyn Cooper. “It’s not just about music but also about visual art, food, style, literature and activism.” “Afro-punk, at this point, is defined as much by what it isn’t as what it is,” said music historian and author Nelson George. “All of the stuff that constitutes commercial black pop is not Afro-punk.

If absolutists see that as a sellout, more broad-minded fans might consider it an embrace. Either way, today’s Afro-punk provides a strikingly clear measure of how many contemporary black artists have been resisting confining stereotypes about how their music should sound — whether those limits come from the mainstream or from punk purists. More, they’re being rewarded with ever-expanding audiences. Last year, Afropunk drew between 25,000 and 30,000 fans each day to Brooklyn, while, starting in 2015, the fest began inspiring sister events in Atlanta, Paris, London and, for the first time in Johannesburg, South Africa on New Year’s Eve.

And, as in the past, fans will argue over whether the term “Afro-punk” can fairly be applied to an amorphous twoday festival that, this time, will include R&B acts like Soul II Soul, rappers such as Dizzee Rascal, DJs like Kaytranada, and a sensitive balladeer like Sampha. How punk is that? In a literal sense, it’s far from it. Many of the acts this year fall a great distance from the type that inspired the original “AfroPunk” film documentary in 2003, which led to the first, like-named festival in Brooklyn two years later. James Spooner’s groundbreaking movie kept the focus tightly on black hardcore acts, such as Bad Brains, 24-7 Spyz and Fishbone.

twist. That encouraged me to find my own identity.” Kiwanuka’s particular take balances psychedelic rock with progressive ’70s soul. His “Love and Hate” album expands on the avant-R&B style pioneered by Isaac Hayes on his 1969 classic “Hot Buttered Soul.” It adopts its long song lengths, cinematic orchestrations and shocks of fuzztoned guitar to create an enveloping soundscape. Kiwanuka’s pained and husky vocals seal the scene, lending his universal struggle individual urgency. Booker has forged his own fresh amalgam on his revelatory second album, “Witness.” In every song, his voice hits with the rock-soul power of Otis Redding; it bleeds with feeling. The result lends special texture to music that makes liberal use of fuzztone and echo, drawing on garage-rock, psychedelia and vintage R&B. It hits a peak in the gospelkissed title track, in which Booker asks himself to what degree he’s willing to commit to movements like Black Lives Matter. “I write about things that frustrate me,” Booker told the website Music Feeds. “I’m just trying to be honest about the things that are happening around me, but I’m also trying to contribute in the little ways I can.”

ore than 60 acts will play this year’s Afropunk Fest. Besides must-sees like Michael Kiwanuka and Gary Clark Jr., here are a few others you shouldn’t miss:

KAYTRANADA The Haitianborn, Montreal-based hip-hop DJ named Kaytranada takes a holistic approach on his glowing debut, “99.9%.” It offers a freewheeling trip through electronica, soul, house, funk, jazz and avant-rap. SAMPHA British singer Sampha Sisay has become a go-to guest on recordings by stars from Drake to Kanye to Solange. No doubt, they’re drawn to the uncommon vulnerability of his voice and the lonely intimacy of his piano.

— JIM FARBER

Instead, said Cooper, “it’s more of an attitude. It’s about making your own kind of music.” By that measure, both the new black rockers, and the genre-blurring artists set to sprawl through this year’s Afropunk fest, can be considered punk to the core.

black rock artists have finessed a similar rebalance in their genre, returning to prominence the race that created rock and roll to begin with. As George sees it, the spirit of punk informs both these trends. “Punk doesn’t have to be three guys bashing,” he said.

THUNDERCAT Bass lines don’t come more supple than those of Steven “Thundercat” Bruner. They give his synth-rich music a sweet layer of funk.

ublic Enemy’s Chuck D and DJ Lord have definitely been busy. In addition to working on the upcoming Prophets of Rage album, which is set for a Sept. 15 release, they found time to put out the powerful new Public Enemy album, “Nothing Is Quick in the Desert” (Enemy), available for free download now through the group’s slamjamz.com. The one-two punch of “Smash the Crowd,” which features Ice-T and Smithtown’s PMD of EPMD, and “If You Can’t Join Em Beat Em” show that the Roosevelt-based group can still hit as hard as anyone, combining great rhymes and great production. Chuck D creates a new anthem in “So Be It,” with its guitar-driven groove and organ flourishes. “You pick up the pieces, I’ll bring the glue,” rhymes Chuck. “So be it for me so you can be you.” On “Sells Like Teens Hear It,” the group, along with Sammy Vegas, makes a great argument for following “substance over style” in hip-hop, while Flavor Flav shows he can beat beefing rappers at their own game if he wanted to. “I’m not the old head who be sideline booing,” Chuck D says. Of course not. Public Enemy are still all-stars on the field.

mong tens of thousands of people at Shaun White’s Air & Style at Los Angeles’ Exposition Park in February, a man in a black shirt and matching baseball hat reading “Decent” across the front was running along the front barricades, collecting high-fives from delirious fans. It’s a typical, celebrationready scene at electronic dance music festivals, which in this case was headlined by the booming, Caribbean-informed beats of Major Lazer, a group co-founded by the superstar DJ known as Diplo. Except the figure in the crowd was not the in-demand producer who has worked with M.I.A. and Beyoncé. It was James Van Der Beek in a wispy mustache acting as Diplo for the new Viceland series “What Would Diplo Do?,” which premiered earlier this month (it airs Thursdays at 10 p.m.). But for all the fame pop stardom affords, not everybody noticed the difference. “The funny thing is half the people were like ‘James Van Der Beek?’ And other people — you know, it was dark out, I’m sure some people were intoxicated,” explains 31-yearold series director Brandon Dermer, who worked with Diplo (born Thomas Wesley Pentz) and festival organizers to arrange the guerrilla-style shoot that appeared in the show’s first episode. But many people had no clue. “He’s wearing a shirt that says ‘Diplo’ on the back, he’s got the hat,” Dermer adds. “Some people were coming up, ‘Dude, I saw you in Vegas last month,

Diplo (real name: Thomas Wesley Pentz), seen at a California concert, is the subject of a series based on, but not starring, him. you were great!’ ” It’s that kind of blur between reality and fiction that makes up the bulk of material for the series, Viceland’s first scripted comedy. Co-created by Dermer and Van Der Beek, the series (with Diplo as executive producer) tweaks the persona of the pop star in a way that combines the playful satire of “This Is Spinal Tap” with a show business version of “The Office.”

POP STAR’S MISADVENTURES

The result is something of a workplace comedy revolving around a pop star’s misadventures and the attempts to manage those mistakes by his team, which includes comic Bobby Lee, Groundlings veteran H. Michael Croner, DJ and festival fixture Dillon Francis and Dora Madison of “Friday Night Lights,” who appears as one of Diplo’s assistants and the only person anchored in the real world. Between takes at a buzzing Sunset Gower Studios, Van Der Beek excitedly recalled how the show captured its concert footage, which included his striking Diplo’s wide-armed “Jesus pose” in front of a capacity crowd while the real Diplo performed behind him. Dermer later recalled Diplo coaching

Van Der Beek before another live shoot at the Mad Decent Block Party concert in Los Angeles last October, showing him which buttons to press while onstage and when to crowd surf to find the most believable performance. Van Der Beek said the writers had to rein in Pentz’s ideas for how he was portrayed. “Being in the public eye, everyone wants to speculate on who you are, what you do in your personal time, pass judgments on how you live your life,” said Pentz, who was reached via email while touring overseas. “I’d rather embrace the speculation, turn it into a joke and have fun with it.” Van Der Beek is no stranger to the meta-comedy game, having played an outsized, arrogant version of himself on ABC’s “Don’t Trust the B in Apt. 23” from 2012 to 2013. He credits that series’ executive producer, Nahnatchka Khan, for preparing him to be showrunner for this series. “In terms of making a sustainable, fully fledged character, blind spots are the gold that you’re looking for,” he said in a later phone conversation. “The fun thing about playing somebody meta is you can give them a superpower.

tales of a DJ’s life Diplo, it’s this musical genius that 99.9 percent of people struggle with or don’t have.” Recalling his experience on “Apt. 23,” Van Der Beek says he told that show’s writers, “Don’t ever be afraid of offending me. You have to go for what’s funniest, and if there’s anything that hits too close to the mark or I’m afraid is going to be bad for my kids, then I’ll let you know privately. And that’s pretty much what Wes said to me when I sat down with him the first time to explore the idea of turning this into a series. That’s kind of the only answer that would make it worth doing.”

Van Der Beek has a prayer as the real-life EDM star on Viceland’s ‘What Would Diplo Do?’

VICELAND / SHANE MCCAULEY

newsday.com

The idea for the series began with Dermer, who with the help of Diplo and his manager, Kevin Kusatsu, created a video promo for the Mad Decent Block Party tour last year that featured Van Der Beek as Diplo. In addition to his bro-ready “What’s up, fam?” greeting, the clip includes a harp-playing assistant, cash raining from the ceiling, ninjas and other goofily over-the-top slices of life for a dance music superstar. Or so it would appear. “I’ve always been approached to kind of break EDM in Hollywood,” says Dermer, who got his start making music videos. “Like, ‘Hey, we’re trying to make “Ballers” but for EDM,’ “Entourage” but for EDM.’ That’s really not what the world’s like, especially for the guys that I’ve worked with. “So I kind of took both the Hollywood interpretation and the public interpretation of what these guys are like, and I’m like: ‘I’m going to make that.’ ” The video made a splash (more than 350,000 views), which is when talk of a series began. When Viceland first approached Van Der Beek, he thought it was a cute idea, but it wasn’t until he got better acquainted with Diplo’s music that the concept clicked. “I put on headphones at night, and it just hit me,” he says. “A musical genius who sucks at life. He can communicate with 80,000 people, but he sucks one-on-one. What we pitched to Spike [Jonze, Viceland’s co-president] was parables about life through the eyes of a clown.”

DEAR AMY: I never thought I’d be writing to an advice columnist, but I am recently divorced. My wife and I were separated for years, so my non-relationship time is quite long. I don’t date and had no intention of looking for another relationship. I recently attended a high school reunion. A woman whom I had a crush on in school was there, without a significant other. She is no longer using her maiden name, so I assume she was married, even if she isn’t any longer. We were casual friends in school and chatted briefly at the reunion. She left early so I didn’t have the opportunity to have a longer conversation. In any case I wouldn’t have “hit on her” at the reunion because I feel that would have been uncomfortable not only for us, but also for our classmates. If I had met her in different circumstances, I certainly would have invited her to meet for lunch or coffee and

newsday.com/lifestyle “chatted her up.” We are old enough that it is uncertain if we will ever see each other again, so I don’t want to chance a “two ships passing in the night” situation. Of course, I have no idea if she would have any interest in me, even if she is currently unattached. I figure I can: 1) Fuggedaboutit 2) Ask a mutual friend on Facebook if they know if she is unattached and can offer their own suggestion and/or 3) Contact the lady in question directly. Option two risks a bit of embarrassment and might even be offensive to the friend. Option three risks more embarrassment and could be taken as very offensive by my old crush, especially if she is in a relationship. I am less concerned about embarrassing myself than about damaging any friendships. Your suggestion? Wondering DEAR WONDERING: Don’t

overthink this. Rather than go through others, you should send this friend a “friend request” on Facebook. If she accepts it, you should be able to see from her profile and

postings what her current status is. Facebook is a great way to connect and slowly get to know someone. It is the perfect venue for following up on a reunion interlude.

DEAR AMY: We hosted a wonderful anniversary party recently for ourselves (our 50th!) and were thrilled to have friends and family attend. The invitation read “No Gifts,” but as sometimes happens, the directive was overlooked. Along with lovely cards, we also received a boatload of zucchini along with the explanation: “We thought you’d love to have something from our garden!” First of all, it was awkward greeting old friends with a hug and a greeting, and then lumbering off with an armful of zucchini and a smile, especially when we’re thinking, “What the heck are we going to do with this?” Plus, our two refrigerators were stuffed to the gills with pop, beer, fresh fruit, veggies and other munchies for the pre- and post-party festivities. After the party, though we looked forward to spending even more time with our out-of-town guests, we were busy cramming all the

zucchini into our refrigerators — along with leftovers from the dinner. So, I’d like to notify people that as party plans unfold this year, they should make a mental note to leave their zucchini at home. Unburden your bounty with the neighbors. Or donate to a nearby food pantry. Or sponsor a friendly baseball game using your larger zucchinis as bats. Whatever you do, don’t show up at party time with your zucchini. We’re thrilled to see you. We just don’t need your squash. Awash in Squash DEAR AWASH: At my home-

town church during this time of year, the collection plate isn’t the only thing being passed around, as people offload the excess bounty from their gardens to fellow worshippers: Tomatoes, corn and the omnipresent zucchini! I agree that zucchini is a strange gift to present as an anniversary present, but this time of year for vegetable gardeners, the rule is to either give squash or be squashed. Your local food pantry

surely would have been happy to welcome this fresh produce.

DEAR AMY: I’m responding to people who don’t like tattoos. They often express their contempt by pointing out how bad tattoos will look on old, wrinkled skin. Trust me, we who love tattoos know this and don’t care.

AUTHOR CHAT BRUCE HANDY ON CHILDREN’S LIT C15

A novel with no ax to grind Author’s whack at Lizzie Borden will keep you guessing SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE, by Sarah Schmidt. Atlantic Monthly Press, 328 pp., $26.

BY KAREN R. LONG

Special to Newsday

Lizzie Borden took an ax And gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one.

A crime scene photograph of Andrew Borden in Fall River, Mass., in 1892. His daughter Lizzie was acquitted of double murder. Benjamin, a violent drifter and Schmidt’s fictional creation. He is a bold stroke, and gives the author a quasi-witness outside the Borden home. “See What I Have Done” is the perfect title — it might be a command from any of these speakers. The reader dwells for hundreds of pages in the claustrophobic house at 92 Second St., in the oppressive August heat and in the churning, unhappy minds of this quartet. Before the book steps off, Schmidt plucks an aphorism from another famous New England spinster, Emily Dickinson: “We outgrow love like other things / And put it in the drawer.” The Bordens are not merely

loveless, their household seethes with malevolence. They practice all kinds of cruelties, some unintentional. Their days are filled with tedium; rancid mutton broth simmers and splashes in the kitchen. The roof creaks and pops and is a roost for Lizzie’s pet pigeons, which have their part to play. Adding to the dread is a psychological haunting. The Borden daughters had a sister between them, Alice, who died at age 2. Their dead mother, Sarah Morse, adds an inescapable burden. She extracted a deathbed promise from 12-year-old Emma to protect and love toddler Lizzie, and another from her creepy brother John to watch over his nieces. On the day of the murders, John is in Fall River. Emma, 42, is not; she is visiting an out-oftown friend. Emma yearns to break away from her miserable family: “I knew deep down that I ought to abandon the fanciful and take what was real, that I

lived with my father and stepmother, lived with a sibling who would never give me up. My time to be anything, anyone, had slipped. I had to live with my disappointment and I wished Lizzie would do the same.” Back home Lizzie is repeating a favorite childhood prayer, one Andrew taught her: “As the Lord liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.” The macabre surges, and Schmidt salts her book with repetition, casting an incantatory spell. The writing is vivid to the point of hallucination. Emma notices a noisy neighbor, “her cabbage cheeks ballooned in talk.” Lizzie says, “Sweat ran down my temple, came to the corner of my mouth. I sipped it up. Nothing made sense anymore.” Over and over, the mantel clock tick-ticks, a descendant of Edgar Allan Poe’s “Tell-Tale Heart.” It is dark, indeed.

first novel. It makes blistering reading out of first-rate historical fiction, which must walk the tightrope of established facts while fashioning a story anew. Hilary Mantel, in her brilliant re-creation of Thomas Cromwell in “Wolf Hall” and “Bringing Up the Bodies,” may be the best practitioner alive, but this book announces Schmidt as a new sister in the craft. She begins without clearing her throat. The first chapter is “Lizzie, August 4, 1892,” and the first two sentences are “He was still, bleeding. I yelled, ‘Someone’s killed Father.’ ” Father is Andrew Borden, 69, a prosperous and stingy property owner who lived the entirety of his life in Fall River. The narrator is Lizzie. Schmidt stays entirely in the voices of Lizzie and three more narrators: Emma Borden, Lizzie’s older sister by a decade; Bridget Sullivan, the family’s Irish live-in maid; and

Our fascination continues partly because the mystery was never solved, the murder weapon never found. Its chief suspect shattered Victorian notions of the feminine. The public could barely imagine a woman, let alone a daughter, capable of poisoning — certainly never a bloody, effortful chopping. Scholars believe this failure of imagination helped land Lizzie her acquittal. Now comes Sarah Schmidt, a clever Australian, whose imagination does not fail. She keeps the reader guessing about Lizzie’s innocence until the final seven words. “See What I Have Done” is a barn-burning, fever-ridden

izzie Borden — a Victorian New Englander tried and acquitted for the ax murders of her stepmother and father — whetted our national appetite for tales of violent death. The swarming press and salacious public made her the O.J. Simpson of her day. She is memorialized in the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast Museum in Fall River, Massachusetts, where the crime stunned and stimulated a nation. The scene — skulls crushed among a prim, well-to-do family — defiled our cherished sense of domesticity. And — 125 years later — she lingers in the jump-rope chant:

oetry can do many things: inspire and uplift, provide consolation and catharsis. But can it actually rescue a person in emotional peril? According to Jill Bialosky, the answer is yes. In her new memoir, “Poetry Will Save Your Life,” Bialosky, a poet and novelist, describes how poetry has helped her deal with tremendous losses, beginning with the death of her father when she was 2. His absence and her mother’s resulting struggles made Bialosky feel deeply insecure, until she was introduced to the poems of Robert Frost by her fourth-grade teacher. “I read my own story in ‘The Road Not Taken,’ ” Bialosky recalls. “There are two roads one might travel: The road where families are whole and not broken, and fathers don’t die young, and mothers are happy — where everything seems to fit together like pieces in a puzzle; and the road I travel, which is crooked and not quite right, with bumps along the way. I know it is important I choose

Later, Bialosky discovered a gorgeous poem by Li-Young Lee, which begins with the wind asking, “in my father’s voice, Have you prayed?” The poem goes on to describe a father’s love as “milk and sugar, / two-thirds worry, two-thirds grief, and what’s left over / is trimmed and leavened to make the bread / the dead and the living share.” Both pieces, Bialosky writes, illustrate how “a poem links us to a universe at once intimate and communal” and strives to “capture and fathom the reality beyond appearances, the world invisible to the eye.” As the memoir progresses, Bialosky moves from adolescence to her career as a writer. Her professional success and happy marriage are challenged by the suicide of her youngest sister and the deaths of her first and second babies. Devastated, she learns that poems “might be about what hurts,” but they can also “remain a sustaining source of comfort.” Adults and mature teens will find much to love in this book, which demonstrates how poems can become an integral part of life. It also suggests, on every page, the wisdom and deep compassion that make Bialosky, a longtime editor at W.W. Norton, a tremendous asset both to readers and other writers.

Kid stuff as a grown-up

SIMON & SCHUSTER

What’s next for you? A children’s book? No, I’m working on a social and pop cultural history of the 1980s, looking at how ideas about money, wealth, and greed evolved during the decade as it was reflected in — and to some extent pushed along by — pop culture. I’m ultimately hoping to shed some light on why we have the issues of inequality that we have now. Obviously, there’s a big political and economic component to that issue, but those parts of the story have been told and analyzed a lot. I think there’s a cultural component to it, so that’s what I’m going to focus on. You got a bird’s-eye view of that evolution at Spy magazine. Well, maybe if this first book was partly an investigation or rethinking of my childhood, this one will be a reinvestigation of my young adulthood.

I also read a lot of academic literature, which is very important, but a lot of that stuff is awfully heavy. I was hoping that I could bring an enthusiasm and a passion to the subject, so that reading this makes you want to go back and reread these books, or pick up the ones you haven’t read, and share them with your children.

It won’t take much effort to gain momentum this week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You can get farther with honey than with vinegar. A soft, tender approach may be what it takes to get a loved one to open up about their troubles this week. Don’t let rust set in; find constructive ways to take advantage of free moments. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It may be possible to take complete advantage of a situation, but others may not appreciate it. In the week ahead, find a solution so everyone involved benefits. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Cooperation is key. Finding someone who shares your enthusiasm and passion for a project will make the task much easier. Making a minor sacrifice could create goodwill and help ease a stalemate this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Pace yourself. Take your time when tackling tough jobs because chipping away at the task a little bit at a time could preserve your stamina. Being in too much of a hurry to get things done this week leaves the door open for silly mistakes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Tag along for the ride. Pay attention when others offer advice and follow their lead when they take you into unexplored territory. Allow someone else to do the driving and you may gain valuable knowledge this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.) Rise to the occasion. Approach the tasks on your checklist with enthusiasm and your slate will be wiped clean before you know it. Don’t be apprehensive if a loved one tries something different to get your attention this week. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Don’t let dog days get you down. Plan a poolside barbecue with friends or take in a movie in an air-conditioned theater to beat the summer heat. Ask for advice when faced with decisions regarding business and finances this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Accentuate the positive. You’ll never progress if you focus on the negatives of an issue. Put your energy into what you know will work as the week unfolds. Keep in mind that others are monitoring your performance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t beat around the bush. Being hesitant or over thinking could work against you, so just follow your gut instinct and go for it. Maintain an open mind about a romance this week and you could be pleasantly surprised. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Follow your whims. Do what feels right or pleasing to you this week, even if it may not be practical. A friend or loved one may provide encouragement if you let your imagination run wild and conjure an artistic creation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Winning isn’t everything. In the week ahead, remember that the most important thing about competition is to have fun and enjoy yourself. If it could, your body would thank you for some quality time out in the fresh air.

LIST Top things to do in Arizona when summer heat fades to fall

BY LINDA TUCCIO-KOONZ Special to Newsday

etween the red rock towers of Sedona and the majesty of the Grand Canyon, the otherworldly terrain of Arizona can be enjoyed all year long. But it’s even better in the fall — when the summer’s heat has passed and temperatures are more comfortable. Autumn is also when there’s a bevy of wine, beer and arts festivals, not to mention Halloween. Here you can celebrate in an old ghost town with a haunted restaurant, where the back deck offers spectacular views of the Verde Valley. One look and you’ll understand why the sky really does seem bigger in the Copper State. There’s plenty to do and view; here are eight suggestions.

See ARIZONA on C18

NEWSDAY, SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 2017

The Grand Canyon isn’t the only hiking spot: Sedona’s West Fork Trail follows Oak Creek for a trek with plenty of pretty fall colors.

This mile-deep wonder carved by the Colorado River is fascinating for its sheer size: about 277 miles long and 18 miles wide. With walls that change color by the hour, revealing 2 billion years of geological history, it’s no surprise the Grand Canyon is in “1,000 Places to See Before You Die.” Pictures and words just don’t do it justice, so this is a must-see ($30 per carload, or $15 a head to walk in, free if you’re 15 or younger; 928-638-7888, nps.gov/grca). You also can experience the canyon by rafting, biking or mule tour, or by air in a small plane or helicopter. Stay overnight at the historic El Tovar Hotel, just steps from the canyon’s South Rim (rooms from

TAKE A HIKE

When it comes to hiking and fall foliage, Flagstaff’s Lockett Meadow is best for viewing the vibrant leaves of the aspens. Another option is the winding drive through Oak Creek Canyon between Flagstaff and Sedona; stop at Sedona’s West Fork Trail (866-488-3754, visitarizona.com). Hiking is also captivating at Montezuma Castle National Monument near Camp Verde, where you’ll see a five-story cliff dwelling with 20 rooms. About 900 years old, it was built by people known as the Sinagua. Visitors no longer are allowed inside the ruins, but tour guide Sam Sharp says engineers inspect the site regularly in efforts to preserve it ($10 ages 16 and older, kids free; 928-567-3332, nps.gov/moca).

Arizona is filled with historic sites, including Tortilla Flat, once a thriving stagecoach stop on the Apache Trail. Flooded in 1943 and damaged by fire in 1987, “the town too tough to die” still stands. Folks love it for its Old West charm, including the Superstition Saloon, known for its Killer Chili, served in a bread bowl ringed by tortilla chips and topped with grated cheese, sour cream and hot chili peppers. Saddles serve as bar stools here, and the walls are covered with paper money. Ranchers and prospectors started the tradition; tourists keep it going (there are thousands of bills from 67 countries). The town also has its own post office, a country store and an old schoolhouse that’s home to a museum (480-984-1776, tortillaflataz.com).

Shop for memories — not stuff In Europe, best treasures aren’t in touristy spots

BY RICK STEVES

Tribune Content Agency

The most colorful shopping in Europe — and a fun way to feel the local vibe — is at its lively open-air markets. A stroll along Portobello Road, one of London’s many lively street markets, has you rubbing elbows with people who brake for garage sales. In Florence, the sprawling San Lorenzo Market has stalls of garments, accessories and leather jackets ranging from real to vinyl. Even a place as overrun with visitors as Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar has tourist-free nooks and crannies that offer a glimpse into the real Turkey.

ARTISAN SHOPS

Seek out and appreciate a local craftsman when you travel. In Volterra, Italy, visit Roberto and Giorgio’s powdery workshop and watch as they carve alabaster into exquisite, translucent sculptures. In Rothenburg, Germany, appreciate the printmakers selling etchings made with the same copperplate techniques that artist Albrecht Dürer used 500 years ago. The narrow streets near Vienna’s cathedral are sprinkled with old-fashioned shops that seem to be-

European department stores, such as Galeries Lafayette in Paris, can be glamorous platforms for top fashion and people-watching. long to another era — just the place to pick out an elegant dirndl. Engaging with these craftspeople is an exciting way to bring local history and culture to life (and you can return home with a memorable souvenir).

DEPARTMENT STORES

In Europe, many department stores are just as much of an attraction as the souvenirs they sell. In Paris, visit Galeries Lafayette or Printemps. Harrods is London’s most famous and touristy department store, but locals prefer Liberty on Regent Street. In Italy, an upscale department chain is La Rinascente, and in Spain, El Corte Ingles is everywhere. Berlin’s mammoth Kaufhaus des Westens (KaDeWe) has a staff of 2,100 to help you sort through its vast selection of 380,000 items. Though lacking the charm of artisan shops and markets, department stores offer a glimpse at everyday fashions and local lifestyles.

BOUTIQUES AND SHOPPING ZONES

The best shopping districts not only offer interesting stores but also let you feel the

pulse of the city. In Rome, an early evening stroll down Via del Corso takes you past local millennials making the scene, as well as the cheap department stores they prefer. Then head over to the Spanish Steps for the beautiful people and their more elegant shops. In Paris, a stroll from the Bon Marche department store to the Church of Saint-Sulpice allows you to sample sleek clothing boutiques and clever window displays while enjoying one of the city’s more attractive neighborhoods.

markets offering a healthy dose of holiday spirit and plenty of traditional nutcrackers, ornaments and sweets. In Germany, look for nutcrackers made in the Erzgebirge region, where they originated. Stroll around while sipping hot mulled wine spiced with cinnamon, cloves and citrus fruits. This quintessential Christmas market drink (“Gluhwein” in Germanic countries) is served in a holiday-themed ceramic mug, which itself makes a fun, affordable souvenir. I’m often asked about the

difference between a tourist and a traveler. To me, a tourist visits all the big sights, sees spectacles onstage and returns home unchanged with a suitcase full of knickknacks. A traveler becomes a temporary local, engages with the culture and comes home enriched, with a vivid collection of experiences and a broader perspective. And, whether you are a tourist or a traveler, or a little of both, a few wellchosen souvenirs can remind you of the highlights of your travels for years to come.

MUSEUM GIFT SHOPS

Gift shops at major museums (such as the Picasso Museum in Barcelona and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam) are the place to pick up books, postcards, unusual posters, decorative items or clever knickknacks featuring works by your favorite artist or commemorating a historic event or sight. Museum gift shops are also good sources for books you may not see elsewhere.

ith each trip I take, I look for cultural souvenirs — experiences and memories are the gold nuggets of travel. Shopping is never my priority, but I find the best souvenirs come from local entrepreneurs and craftspeople. These days, Europe’s modern shopping arenas are also fun spots to witness a slice of contemporary life. In moderation, it can be fun to immerse yourself in the retail culture of Europe’s grandest cities. Here are some smart places for shopping, places where you’re experiencing culture rather than collecting things.
