CATSKILL — A month after the official opening of the $11 million Hudson River Skywalk, the village of Catskill is looking to reimagine its side of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge approach.

Model of Architecture Serving Society, or MASS, a nonprofit architecture group, asked village residents to consider what they want the intersection of Route 23 and Route 385 to look like.

Additionally, the group posed the question of how the village could incorporate an abandoned reservoir into the

community.

The Skywalk project involved reconfiguring traffic on the Columbia County side of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge and constructing a traffic circle.

“We feel we should get our due on this side of the river,” Village President Vincent Seeley said. “I’m not saying a loop-de-loop or a corkscrew but something that will help us configure more parking.”

The roundabout on the Columbia County bridge approach cost $4.5 million and includes 25 parking spaces.

The construction took two

CATSKILL — Residents questioned whether a proposed tree law will encroach on their rights to manage their private property at a public hearing Wednesday night.

The law, developed by Cultivate Catskill and the village’s Tree Council, is designed to protect the village’s public trees and includes a tree-replacement program. There are some circumstances outlined in the

law where a private tree may threaten the safety of public property such as a sidewalk, and may need to be removed.

Village residents voiced their concerns over the gray areas of the proposed law.

Resident Debra Samuels said she felt the board needed better descriptions in the law.

“In section 4:A, you reference roadside and street-side trees but don’t define what roadside or street-side trees are,” Samuels said.

Samuels requested a measurement from the road be added to the law.

Catskill Fire Chief Patrick McCulloch said the village’s rightof-way will vary depending on the width of the road because the measurement is taken from the center line.

Samuels found other sections that lacked descriptions.

“In section 6:A, you mention dangerous trees but don’t define dangerous trees,” she said.

“You define hazardous trees but

trees and if the downed tree contains insects, the wood must be burned, Samuels said she felt the law should specify that it applies only to public trees.

“If the tree is dead or dying, it has insects in it, but they’re not necessarily Emerald Ash Borers,” Samuels said.

Samuels asked the board to specify what insects it is referring to and whether the law is referencing invasive species.

not dangerous trees. Don’t use the word dangerous trees and then not define it.”

The board decided to switch the word dangerous with the word hazardous.

“In section 6:B, the law lists trees that are dead, diseased or other,” Samuels said. “What is other?”

The board opted to use the term hazardous trees in place of other.

In section 6:C, which requires stumps be removed from felled

Zachary Comstock from Barton and Loguidice, left, and Scott Templeton, deputy superintendent of the Greene County Highway and Solid Waste Department, outline plans for renovations at three county-owned transfer stations.

CATSKILL — Legislators on Wednesday eyed plans to renovate three county-owned transfer stations, and work could get underway later this year.

During a workshop meeting Wednesday, county lawmakers met with the Albany-based engineering firm Barton and Loguidice to go over upgrade plans for the transfer stations in Catskill, Coxsackie and Hunter.

“At Catskill we will renovate the scale house, and that would start construction in September,” said Barton and Loguidice practice area leader Matt Fuller.

The scale house is where trucks transporting trash are weighed before dropping off their load, to determine the fee the driver must pay.

“We will take down the ex-

isting scale house. The new scale house will serve both the trucks coming in as well as residential drop-off,” Barton and Loguidice engineer Zachary Comstock said. “We will put up a prefab, modular scale house.”

The Catskill transfer station will also see a reconfiguration of the residential use areas, largely to make traffic flow easier and more structured.

The other two facilities will see upgrades on a larger scope.

“The Hunter station will be totally reconfigured and redesigned. We will keep the same building structure, but we will add on to the building. The residential areas will remain the same.”

Coxsackie will see similar upgrades to what is being done at Hunter — full redesigns of the existing facilities.

months to complete.

MASS Principal Chris Kroner divided the audience into three groups and asked them to think about meaningful additions to the village at both locations.

“We’re not trying to come up with a design,” Kroner said.

“It’s really, really early.”

Drawing on the public’s ideas, MASS would compile a grant application to complete a feasibility study, Kroner said.

MASS is working on a cistern project with Scenic Hudson, which is how the group learned about the reservoir idea, Kroner said.

“We are not asking for a fee,” Kroner said. “We are hoping to be a partner moving forward.”

Resident Richard Wagoner sounded a bit skeptical about the project.

“My first thought is don’t fix what’s not broken, but leaving the gas station is tricky,” Wagoner said, alluding to the Citgo station at the corner of Route 23 and Route 385.

Exiting the Citgo is difficult because it is such a compacted area, Wagoner said.

“I think some engineering could be done to look at how to improve the flow of traffic,” he said.

The reservoir was abandoned in the 1960s or 1970s when the village switched over to the Potic Mountain Reservoir in Coxsackie.

Plans are in the works to get a back-up tank for 1 million gallons of water, which would last the village one day in the event of an emergency, Seeley said.

The village is working on applying for state funding for the $2 million project.

The water tank does not limit the reservoir from being repurposed, Seeley said.

A public park would be one of many solutions, Seeley said.

Referring to Dutchman’s Landing, Seeley said, “We have a sewer plant in our park, so why can’t we have a park around our reservoir?”

Residents proposed having a park, an arboretum, a fishing pond and other ideas at the abandoned site.

The concept is springboard-

ing off the Skywalk project, Seeley said.

“We are learning from their successes and failures,” he said. “The project would benefit not just the entities but the entire village as a gateway to the village that is well-engineered and well-branded.”

In addition to moving forward with the feasibility study, the village will begin looking into funding opportunities and partners such as the state Bridge Authority and state Department of Transportation.

“We’re very pleased to have MASS donate their time and invite them to be our partner in whatever capacity they can,” Seeley said.

The village would not see results from a feasibility study until 2020, Seeley said.

lage Trustee Peter Grasse Jr. said.

Village Trustee Joseph Kozloski asked that in emergency circumstances, the village has the authority to remove dead or dangerous trees.

“We would be liable,” Kozloski said.

Artist and author Hudson Talbott, who started the tree replacement program, asked that the tree council be notified first.

“We have had situations where trees get taken down where they didn’t need to,” he said.

A phone call to the tree council could help prevent this, Talbott said.

“We had an incident where a tractor-trailer bumped one of our trees in front of Joe’s Garage,” Talbott said.

Village police notified Talbott, who was able to get in touch with the tree’s sponsors, who own Joe’s Garage.

“I told them, your tree has been seriously wounded and we can either take it down or you can nurse it back to health,” Tal-

bott said. “And that’s what they did and it survived.”

The law will grant the village authority to removal hazardous trees in emergency situations after a reasonable attempt to contact the tree council has been made, Seeley said.

Resident Rich Ahlberg asked if the law will apply to Central Hudson.

Central Hudson will continue to have a right-of-way, Seeley said.

“I understand their intention to protect their assets but they are overstepping,” Ahlberg said.

Resident Christine Rappleyea wanted to know how the cost of tree removal will be determined.

“And how is this ever actually going to be enforced?” she added.

Rappleyea said there is no appellate process listed in the law for residents to go through if their tree is classified as dangerous.

Residents can appeal to the board of trustees, Seeley said.

“What credentials do the tree council members have?”

Catskill Village President Vincent Seeley, left, talks about the feasibility study of reconfiguring the intersection of Route 23 and Route 385 on the Greene County side of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge approach Wednesday.

Rappleyea asked. “How do I know they are going to be able to evaluate the trees?”

Similar to how the planning board will coordinate with engineers, the tree council will work with an expert to evaluate the trees, Seeley said.

Talbott objected to Rappleyea’s line of questioning.

“So the answer is to not have trees?” he said.

In terms of hiring an expert, Kozloski expressed concern as to what the cost of evaluating the trees would be.

The village would get a quote before any work is done and could decide whether the expense was appropriate, Seeley said.

Kozloski also asked that the waiting period for a contractor be reduced from 30 days to 14 days.

“If you already hired a contractor, they won’t wait 30 days,” Kozloski said.

The board agreed to change the time frame to 14 days.

The board voted to adjourn the public hearing until July 24.

“I wouldn’t know if an invasive insect came to my house,” Village President Vincent Seeley said.

Samuels also disagreed with the stump section of the law.

“Why should the village tell me to take the stump out, which is an extra expense?” Samuels asked.

“We’re saying to people, clean up your yard,” Seeley said.

“Don’t leave crap in your yard.”

Samuels disagreed that the law was intended to be only for public trees.

“It is an overreach to come onto my property and tell me what to do with my stumps and wood,” she said.

The board decided to eliminate the portion about stump removal but left in the section on burning wood containing insects.

The term law gives the concept a negative connotation, Seeley said. “I think it should be called a Public Tree Protection Program so people don’t think we’re telling you what you can and can’t do with your trees. We don’t wake up in the morning and want to make laws.”

Samuels was also concerned with section 4:D of the law, which states that private trees can be removed if they threaten another person’s property.

“Could this mean the trees on my property?” Samuels asked.

Residents already have the means to protect their property against encroaching trees, Vil-

Streamlining the process and transporting trash directly would ultimately save the county money, he said.

post-imprisonment supervised release of at least five years and up to life, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Brady will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

As part of his guilty plea, Brady admitted to using a desktop computer equipped with file sharing to download and distribute child pornography, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Special FBI agents and other law enforcement officers executed a federal search warrant at Brady’s Philmont residence on March 1, 2018, n after tracking and discovering Brady’s activity online, according to court documents.

The pornography was alleged to

have been downloaded and shared between Dec. 4, 2017, and March 1, 2018.

In one video, a girl between eight and 10 years of age was raped anally, according to court papers.

Brady also possessed another video that depicted girls between the ages of three and eight years of age raped by several adult men, according to court papers.

“The girls are shown performing oral sex on adult males and being vaginally penetrated,” according to court documents. Brady was interviewed in the living room of his home by investigators on the day of the raid on March 1, 2018. Then, Brady admitted to searching for and downloading

images of child pornography using his desktop computer.

“Brady stated that he has been lonely and has been searching for and viewing child pornography for some time,” according to court documents.

“Brady understood that it was illegal to download and possess child pornography.”

The announcement of Brady’s guilty plea was made by U.S. Attorney Grant C. Jaquith and James N. Hendricks, special agent in charge of the Albany Field Office of the FBI. The case was investigated by state police and the FBI and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sahar L. Amandolare.

Broadband mapping charts uncertain course ever the maps reflect where broadband is, it’s usually somewhere else.

In what seems like an instant of time, rural broadband mapping measures are outdated. These poor mapping methodologies are leaving our rural communities behind before the communities knew they were in a race.

Deputy Greene County Administrator Warren Hart said the ability to break down areas that don’t have broadband access would make connecting the entire county easier. Accessing federal data at the street level for broadband, meaning the addresses from intersection to intersection would help.

But in another inexplicable move, the data is only available by census block. This means that if one household is served in a geographic unit in a

census block, it shows that the whole census block is serviced, and that is inaccurate.

Delgado, Hart and F. Michael Tucker, president and CEO of the Columbia Economic Development Corporation, are correct when they say progress is being made but a lot more work has to be done as some areas remain unconnected.

We want to think the state’s significant investment in broadband and additional assistance from the federal government would strengthen the ability of rural counties to expand broadband to both businesses and residents.

Considerable resources have been spent to develop maps of areas that are served by broadband, but keeping them current with accurate, real-time information has proved to be a daunting task.

We need to do more to keep guns out of domestic abusers’ hands The Washington Post

Mass shootings make news, and they linger in our collective memory. However, less-public incidents - the ones that happen at home - claim more lives, argues American University professor Rachel Louise Snyder in her new book, “No Visible Bruises.” In an average month in the United States alone, more than 50 women are fatally shot by an intimate partner, she writes. This is a harrowing statistic that we need to face.

There is overlap in the deadly shooting categories.

Between 2009 and 2017, more than half of mass shootings (shootings in which four or more individuals were killed) were cases of domestic or familial violence, according to a report by the advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.

Feminist activist Gloria Steinem told The Associated Press that more women have been killed by their intimate partners since 9/11 than “all the Americans who were killed by 9/11 or in Afghanistan and Iraq” combined. This level of what is sometimes

called “intimate terrorism” should be unacceptable.

As with the mass shootings that make headlines, an inescapable factor in the carnage of domestic violence is the absence of reasonable gun laws. After decades of decline, fatal intimate partner abuse rose from 2015 to 2017, according to a study by James Alan Fox and Emma Fridel of Northeastern University.

Moreover, abuse by gun does not have to be fatal to cause harm: About 4.5 million American women have been threatened and controlled with a gun by an intimate partner, according to research.

Local, state and federal officials need to close gaps in the legal system that grant firearm possession to too many who should not be eligible. Background checks for gun sales must be more thorough. Individuals who have been convicted of domestic violence should be required to surrender their firearms and prohibited from purchasing any more. According to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, only 29 states and the Dis-

OUR VIEW

Anyone who has been following the broadband saga in the Twin Counties over the last year knows broadband delivery is an arduous task. For lots of underserved and unserved people, it feels like two steps have been taken back for every step forward.

U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, has secured a measure in appropriations legislation in Congress to address “deeply flawed broadband mapping practices.” Mapping problems occur when maps are used that indicate a specific area has access to high-speed internet service when in fact it doesn’t.

The problem arises because maps rely on provider-reported data at the census-block level, and the resulting maps tend to overstate broadband coverage in rural communities.

In other words, when-

Florida gave felons like me the vote again — then the state took it away

trict of Columbia have laws that ban those convicted of domestic violence from buying guns. Even fewer demand firearm surrender upon conviction.

The laws also contain too many loopholes in the classifications of abuse.

Some state laws ban gun ownership in certain circumstances but exempt people with temporary restraining orders as a result of suspected abuse, those convicted of stalking misdemeanors or people convicted of abusing a dating partner they are not married to. Given that access to a firearm makes what is already a dangerous situation of domestic abuse five times more likely to be fatal, this is unacceptable.

Gun law reform alone won’t solve this problem, of course. Social services must give victims more accessible support. There needs to be earlier intervention in cases of suspected abuse, protecting victims from escalating violence. Courts must increase enforcement of restraining orders. But keeping guns out of the wrong hands is essential.

Lives are at stake.

or publications. Writers are ordinarily limited to one letter every 30 days.

Editor’s note: As told to Washington Post editor Sophia Nguyen.

I woke up early on Jan. 8, the very first day that I was eligible to vote again in Florida. I arrived at the Lee County elections office before the doors even opened. The staff helped me fill out the paperwork, my hands shaking. My mom, who’d encouraged me to take this step, came along. When I was officially registered, she hugged me. We both cried. I hadn’t cast a ballot since 2008.

Until that moment, I hadn’t realized how much my vote meant to me. I was 30 years old.

For years, the opportunity felt totally out of reach. My felony conviction for drug possession in 2010 took over so many other aspects of my life, like where I could find a job or rent an apartment - voting was yet another one. Florida had some of the harshest laws in the country, disenfranchising ex-offenders for life unless they sought clemency. The clemency process takes years, and the governor said no far more often than he said yes. I shoved the possibility out of my mind.

That all changed in November, when an overwhelming majority of voters passed a ballot measure automatically restoring voting rights to former offenders. Amendment 4 gave nearly 1.5 million people our voices back. After that change to the state constitution, the rate of new registrations more than doubled.

Then, this past spring, Republican lawmakers put a huge obstacle in our path. The law they passed will require that people with felony convictions pay all court fees, fines and restitution before they’re deemed eligible to vote. Gov. Ron DeSantis, R, has promised to sign the measure. If it takes effect on Monday, I will be erased from the voter rolls. That’s because, according to the county clerk’s

obligations. Does that mean I don’t deserve the franchise that almost every other citizen gets? Whatever mistakes I made when I was young — and whatever my money situation is now — I’m still an American.

The new law has crushed the hopes of hundreds of thousands of people in situations like mine. Some owe millions that they can’t imagine ever repaying; others owe a few hundred that they just can’t take on. Florida is notorious for charging insanely high fines and fees to run its criminal justice system: more than $1 billion in 2018 alone. Its statutes list 115 fees and surcharges.

(Other states have anywhere between 20 and 50 such fees on the books.) The state government is, to put it lightly, inconsistent about collecting: it has “minimal collections expectations”for 83 percent of its outstanding debt. As for restitution — money to compensate victims of crimes — no agencies track those debts or payments. Some ex-offenders have no idea how much they owe.

The first and last time I voted, I was 18 years old, and Barack Obama was running for president. Now it’s my local vote that really matters to me: I want a say in the education system where my daughter attends middle school; I want to protect the state-funded health care that she depends on. My vote isn’t just for me - it’s for my family’s future. Now, I’m facing the prospect of even more elections where I have to stand aside, helpless, while others make decisions for us.

Ex-offenders already face huge challenges to reentering society. Last year, by almost 2 to 1, our fellow Floridians said that we should be included in society, and that our opinions should be heard. It’s wrong to make money a barrier to our becoming full citizens.

Ranking the Democrats’ debate performances Ed Rogers The Washington Post

Ten Democratic candidates stood shoulder-to-shoulder Wednesday night, trying to impress and distinguish themselves from their competitors.

Another 10 candidates will go at it Thursday night, and the analysis will congeal over the next several days. It is easy to overestimate the impact of these debates in the moment.

Remember, only 5 percent (at most) of what will matter when the voting starts next year has occurred.

But here is a first take on how the candidates did. As a partisan Republican, I have taken the liberty of ranking Wednesday night’s candidates from 1 to 10 (1 being the best, 10 being the worst) and offering some brief commentary on each of their performances.

1. Former housing and urban development secretary Julián Castro: Beat expectations.

SEND LETTERS:

Poised and broke through a couple of times. He set the left edge for Democrats on immigration and was perhaps the best performer.

2. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts: Able and confident, perhaps even a little intimidating. Moderator favorite.

Her momentum continues.

3. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio: Better than I expected.

Successfully asserted himself. I wanted to think he was a joke, but he came across as forceful and credible.

4. Sen. Amy Klobucher of Minnesota: Nervous, earnest, rehearsed. But a net-plus performance. She is among the serious candidates.

5. Former Maryland congressman John Delaney: Knowledgeable. Sensible. The most like a Republican.

6. Former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke: Awkward buzzwords and platitudes.

Awkward buzzwords and platitudes in Spanish. Lightweight.

Please, no more Kennedy comparisons.

7. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey: High word count, but low content. Panders more than others but got better as the night progressed. Looks a little frightening — and the most like a Marvel comic character.

8. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii: Hillary-esque. I thought she might be the “breakout” performer, but she was mostly a bore. A dud.

9. Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio: Seemed like a high school coach. Lame sympathy for school shooters? Bragged about his long tenure in Congress. What is he doing here?

10. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee: Very flat, not quite ready for C-SPAN. As for the field as a whole: Democrats’ positions on the economy are tepid and blurred because of the current prosperity fostered by the Trump economy.

office, I have an outstanding balance of $880 from 10 years ago.

As the judge ordered, I spent one year in jail and completed four years of probation. On top of that, I owed thousands of dollars in fines and fees, including prosecution and investigative costs, and the cost of my own probation supervision. Florida is one of many states that make defendants and offenders pay for steps of the criminal justice system that used to be free, from using a public defender to wearing a court-ordered electronic monitoring device. This burden usually falls on the poor.

Over the years, I’ve struggled to pay down this debt. The court said I could work some of it off through community service, paid at $10 an hour. I chipped away at the balance for hundreds of hours, serving dinner at the Salvation Army and doing office work for a mental health and addiction clinic.

Since my driver’s license was suspended, I took the bus and walked everywhere. I borrowed what I could from friends and family, who could barely afford it themselves and needed to be repaid in turn.

I’ve served my time and have done everything I can to turn my life around. I got a bartending job, one of the few opportunities available to people with criminal records. I started taking courses in exercise and nutrition to eventually become a personal trainer, since fitness is also a relatively open industry. Still, the government won’t consider my sentence complete.

I’m a single mother with student loans. It’s difficult enough to make ends meet - I can’t afford the $880 that stands between me and my vote. Even if some miracle happened and a pile of cash magically appeared, I’m not sure that I could pay the fine with a clear conscience. I have a child to take care of and too many other

Southwest Air extends Boeing Max cancellations through September Mary Schlangenstein Bloomberg

Southwest Airlines Co. will keep the Boeing Co. 737 Max out of its flight schedule at least through Oct. 1, a month more than previously planned, as safety regulators debate when the grounded aircraft will be approved to resume operations.

The extension will force the continued cancellation of 150 daily flights, Southwest said in a statement Thursday. The Dallas-based carrier, the biggest customer of the Max, made the decision just two weeks after delaying the plane’s expected return to early September from a prior plan of early August.

Southwest is extending the Max’s absence again as the Federal Aviation Administration grapples with a new safety risk on Boeing’s best-selling jet, which was grounded worldwide March 13 after two fatal crashes in five months.

While the airline said it made the scheduling decision “before any developments of the past few days,” the new problem spurs further uncertainty on when safety regulators will let the single-aisle workhorse

return to the skies.

“We remain confident that, once certified by the FAA, the enhancements will support the safe operation of the Max,” Southwest said in the statement.

Boeing is crafting software fixes and enhanced pilot training for the plane.

American Airlines and United Continental have set the Max to return to their schedules around Sept. 3.

In a finding unrelated to the cause of the crashes, the FAA determined that data processing by a flight computer could cause the Max to dive in a way that pilots had difficulty recovering from in simulator tests, Bloomberg News reported.

The issue didn’t involve the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, which has been linked to the disasters involving Max planes operated by Indonesia’s Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines.

Boeing is looking at a potential “end of summer” return for the Max, and getting the entire grounded fleet back into the air will take months, Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg said Wednesday.

Canada suspects foul play in meat shipment that led to China ban Michael Hirtzer and Ashley Robinson Bloomberg

A controversial pork shipment that prompted China to halt Canadian imports may have come from someplace else, according to the government in Ottawa.

China’s suspension threatens to upend meat trade flows at a time when African swine fever is already disrupting markets across the globe. Meanwhile, Canada said it’s investigating the pork cargo, which came attached with counterfeit health certificates.

“There is someone out there who is falsifying Canadian certificates because they think it is in their interest to do it,” Trade Minister Jim Carr said in an interview with BNN Bloomberg.

“It’s criminal and we’ll get to the bottom of it as soon as we can.”

The government has called in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to probe the matter.

The Chinese suspension coincides with flaring tension between the nations following Canada’s arrest of Huawei Technologies Co. Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou at the request of the U.S. last year.

The Asian nation has since detained two Canadians and revoked canola import licenses for two exporters from Canada, citing pests being found in shipments.

On Tuesday, the Chinese embassy in Canada said pork imports were halted, threatening to derail exports of the meat that had jumped 50% so far this year over 2018 levels.

That’s sparked speculation

that supply originally intended for the Asian nation could end up looking for a new home in the U.S. and elsewhere.

While the U.S. is already facing a glut of meat, supplies are being squeezed in Asia by the spread of the deadly swine fever. Protein shippers across the world have been vying for a share of the Chinese import market after an outbreak of the pig disease resulted in millions of hogs being culled in the world’s top consumer of the meat. The suspension will hold Canadian producers back from filling the gap.

“It’s unfortunate -- these sorts of things don’t help anybody and it will cause problems for our industry,” said Daryl Possberg, a producer with Polar Pork Farms, outside of

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

On Wednesday, hog futures for August delivery fell as much as 2.2% to 74.525 cents a pound, before settling 0.9% lower. They were up 1.3% on Thursday at 10:24 a.m. in Chicago, lifted in part by weekly U.S. Department of Agriculture data showing fresh American pork sales to China.

Hog producers in the U.S. have been lifting production in the hope of shipping more pork to China. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expect the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Thursday to show the hog herd as of June 1 was up 2.6% from a year ago.

But the U.S. still faces tariffs from China due to the trade war between Washington and Beijing, which could limit how

much the Asian nation buys.

That means North America could end up being swamped with meat supplies.

China’s investigation into traces of a banned feed additive led to the discovery of counterfeit health certificates attached to the pork shipment.

Marie-Claude Bibeau, Canada’s minister of agriculture and agri-food, confirmed that “inauthentic export certificates” were used. The import suspension applies to all Canadian meat.

“We produce a lot more than we can eat in Canada, so obviously any time a market gets closed, it’s going to have an impact on us,” said Ryan Thompson, a beef farmer at Living Sky Beef near Minton, Saskatchewan.

Supreme Court rules federal courts are powerless to hear challenges to partisan gerrymandering Adam Liptak The New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that federal courts are powerless to hear challenges to partisan gerrymandering, the practice in which the party that controls the state legislature draws voting maps to help elect its candidates.

The vote was 5-4, with the court’s more conservative members in the majority. In a momentous decision, the court closed the door on such claims.

The drafters of the Constitution, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority, understood that politics would play a role in drawing election districts when they gave the task to state legislatures. Judges, the chief justice said, are not entitled to second-guess lawmakers’ judgments.

“We conclude that partisan gerrymandering claims present political questions beyond the reach of the federal courts,” the chief justice wrote.

Partisan gerrymandering is almost as old as the nation, and both parties have used it. But in recent years, as Republicans captured state legislatures around the country, they have been the primary beneficiaries. Aided by sophisticated software, they have drawn oddly shaped voting districts to favor their party’s candidates. Should Democrats capture state legislatures in the next election, the ruling would allow them to employ the same tactics.

In an impassioned dissent delivered from the bench, Justice Elena Kagan said American democracy will suffer thanks to the court’s ruling in the two consolidated cases decided Thursday, Rucho v.

Common Cause, No. 18-422; and Lamone v. Benisek, No. 18-726.

“The practices challenged in these cases imperil our system of government,” she said.

“Part of the court’s role in that system is to defend its foundations. None is more important than free and fair elections.”

She added that she was dissenting “with deep sadness.”

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor joined Kagan’s dissent.

Roberts did not say the current system of drawing districts is desirable as a matter of policy. “Excessive partisanship in districting leads to results that reasonably seem unjust,” he wrote.

“The districting plans at issue here are highly partisan, by any measure,” he wrote. “The question is whether the courts below appropriately exercised judicial power when they found them unconstitutional as well.”

The answer, he wrote, is no, as courts lack the authority and competence to decide when politics has played too large a role in redistricting. “There are no legal standards discernible in the Constitution for making such judgments,” the chief justice wrote, “let alone limited and precise standards that are clear, manageable and politically neutral.”

“Federal judges have no license to reallocate political power between the two major political parties, with no plausible grant of authority in the Constitution and no legal standards to limit and direct their decisions,” Roberts wrote.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh joined the majority opinion.

In dissent, Kagan said the court had abdicated one of its most crucial responsibilities.

“The only way to understand the majority’s opinion,” she wrote, “is as follows: In the face of grievous harm to democratic governance and flagrant infringements on individuals’ rights — in the face of escalating partisan manipulation whose compatibility with this nation’s values and law no one defends — the majority declines to provide any remedy. For the first time in this nation’s history, the majority declares that it can do nothing about an acknowledged constitutional violation because it

has searched high and low and cannot find a workable legal standard to apply.”

One case decided Thursday, from North Carolina, concerned a plan drawn by Republican state lawmakers in 2016 that included a criterion called “partisan advantage.”

The state’s congressional delegation, in a purple state in which neither party had a distinct edge, was at the time made up of 10 Republicans and three Democrats. A key goal, lawmakers said, was “to maintain the current partisan makeup of North Carolina’s congressional delegation.”

“I think electing Republicans is better than electing Democrats,” explained David Lewis, a Republican member of the General Assembly’s redistricting committee. “So I drew this map to help foster what I think is better for the country.

“I propose that we draw the maps to give a partisan advantage to 10 Republicans and three Democrats,” he said, “because I do not believe it’s possible to draw a map with 11 Republicans and two Democrats.”

The plan worked. In 2016, Republican congressional candidates won 53% of the statewide vote. But, as predicted, they again won in 10 of the 13 congressional districts, or 77% of them.

In 2018, the statewide vote was about evenly divided, but Democrats again secured only three seats.

The case was an appeal from a decision in August by a three-judge panel of a U.S. District Court in North Carolina. The ruling found that Republican legislators there had violated the Constitution by drawing the districts to hurt the electoral chances of Democratic candidates.

The other case, from Maryland, was brought by Republican voters who said Democratic state lawmakers had in 2011 redrawn a district to retaliate against citizens who supported its longtime incumbent, Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett,

a Republican. That retaliation, the plaintiffs said, violated the First Amendment by diluting their voting power.

Reception for Photographer Wendy Noyes at Chatham Bookstore CHATHAM — There will be a reception for photographer Wendy Noyes at Chatham Bookstore on Friday, July 5 Noyes will discuss her work at a reception for her new show at the Chatham Bookstore on Friday, July 5, from 5-7 p.m. The show, entitled “Carried Away: Diaries, Sketchbooks, Mosaics,” runs through Sept. 1.

After graduating from Smith College, Noyes studied photography with Minor White at MIT and has been a photographer since that time. For the first 40 years of her career she photographed exclusively in black and white, using large format, and printing with the 19th century technique of hand-sensitizing her own artist’s papers with platinum and palladium emulsions.

For the past 10 years, her work has been influenced by new technology, including the ubiquitous iPhone camera, and she uses digital color that she prints

“Dumpster”

herself. The new work in the current show reflects this approach. No longer required to use expensive film needing laborious darkroom procedures to develop and print, she finds that the instantaneous feedback provided by the digital format gives rise to what she calls in the title of the show, her getting “Carried Away.”

At the July 5 reception, Noyes will conduct a conversation about her work process and how the new work is connected to the new technology. She lives in Spencertown with her husband, artist Sandy Noyes.

The Chatham Bookstore is located at 27 Main St. in Chatham. An array of art supplies is available at the bookstore.

For more information, call 518-3923005. www.chathambookstore.com

Oriole 9 presents ‘Signs of the Times’

Skytop Steakhouse Exit 19, Kingston, Oil on canvas, 60”x36” This sign was once a beacon in the night, alerting drivers on the New York State Thruway that at Exit 19 they could get a great meal before they traveled on deeper into the Catskill Mountains.

The Lo Bianco family ran the restaurant from 2005-2012, investing close to a million dollars to get it up and running, as it had been sitting empty and abandoned since 1993.

The Lo Bianos had their share of ideas about how to make it work, having run it as a microbrewery for years.

But under the management of Tim Alles, they focused more on good food and service. They also refurbished the “Steakhouse” sign and passersby loved seeing the sign blazing through the darkness at night.

Sadly, the Skytop Steakhouse is now closed and the owners of the motel on the property don’t illuminate the sign anymore. But with this painting, the artist has brought it back forever.

The works of artist Mary Anne Erickson will be celebrated on Saturday, June 29, at Oriole 9, 17 Tinker St. in Woodstock.

And if you can’t make the opening, do stop in for a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner and enjoy the paintings!

judgment, this exhibit looks to engage viewers in introspection and reflection as we navigate today’s volatile world. Curated by TAG members Ann Moring and Frana Baruch, the team invited artists to delve into this theme using any medium or style of

their choice. In the spirit of the show itself, there were little restrictions placed on their submissions, other than to convey the deepness and richness of what freedom means to them – from upbeat and soulful, to complex and intricate, and ev-

erything in between.

TAG artists whose work will be featured include Fumiko Sugaya, Gary Garzetta, Lynda Youmans, Greg Moring, Harry Baruch, Ania Aldrich, Terry Murray, Cecilia Sinclair, Pamela Tucker, Karl Volk, Lana Hirsch, Pam Krimsky and curators Moring and Baruch. On opening night (July 6) live musical accompaniment will be performed by Scott Bierko Band & Friends as they entertain with folk/rock acoustic tunes.

Artist Ned Snider said he would like to imagine the work being interpreted as a way to find solace through commiseration. While the majority of us may not subscribe to the notion of “beating them,” we invariably “join them” simply as a means of perseverance.

Snider is a visual artist working across several disciplines including printmaking, painting, writing and graphic de-

Snider received his BFA in graphic design from the Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland, and his MFA in 2D Design from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — Nicole Conte became the first representative from Hudson High School and the Patroon Conference to play in the recent Deanna Rivers Softball Tournament.

The tourney is dedicated to the memory of the Shenendehowa softball player who tragically lost her life because of a DWI driver before her senior softball season.

Only seniors from Section II are invited to play in the game. Each player wore Deanna’s number 19. Deanna’s parents, Brian and Debbie Rivers held the 7th annual tournament that donated $19,000 this year to local organizations that develop youth in the Capital District.

Nicole was selected by the Blue Team, sponsored by DeNooyer Chevrolet. They won their first game, 6-1, with Nicole going 1 for 2 with an RBI, two stolen bases

and a run scored. In addition, she threw out a base stealer.

The game was tied 8-8 in the final the blue team fell to ‘Team Purple,’ sponsored by Rensselaer Honda, 11-8. Nicole wwent 2 for 3 with two RBI, two runs scored, two stolen bases and threw out one of two baserunners attempting to steal. Team Purple’s Myaisha Kelly was the tourney MVP and was presented a $500 scholarship.

Just how big of a risk is signing Durant?

Stefan Bondy New York Daily News ADAM HUNGER/USA TODAY

New York Yankees left fielder Clint Frazier (77) reacts during an at bat against the San Diego Padres at Yankee Stadium.

Frazier left behind in Triple-A as Yanks head to London Anthony Rieber Newsday

Some big developments on Wednesday, the eve of the Yankees’ trip to London to play the Red Sox: • Giancarlo Stanton did not make the travel roster because of the knee injury he suffered sliding Tuesday night. Manager Aaron Boone said the injury was a sprained posterior collateral ligament.

There is no timetable for Stanton’s return from the 10day injured list, but bet the farm that it won’t be soon.

• Stanton’s bobblehead doll will make it to London, though. It features him wearing the long hat of a Buckingham Palace guard and is paired with a bobblehead of Aaron Judge towering over Big Ben. • Clint Frazier, the obvious replacement for Stanton, is not going to London.

The Yankees called up four of Frazier’s teammates from Triple-A Scranton/WilkesBarre for the trip and left Frazier in Scranton, where he started in center field. If general manager Brian Cashman wanted to send a message about where Frazier stands at the moment with the organization, he couldn’t have been more clear.

Mike Tauchman replaces Stanton. Thairo Estrada, catcher Kyle Higashioka and pitcher Chance Adams also got the call. One of them will be the 26th man for Saturday’s and Sunday’s games at London Stadium and the other two will be a taxi squad under the rules for the series.

Perhaps the Yankees think it’s better to showcase Frazier at Triple-A for a possible trade for a pitcher. But with Stanton out, Frazier is the most accomplished hitter from Scranton to play left field. He was hitting .283 with 11 home runs and 34 RBIs with a .843 OPS in 53 games for the Yankees before he was sent down June 17.

Frazier has big-league offensive talent and a bigleague attitude. He has had well-documented defensive problems. He took the full 72 hours to report to Scranton, which is his contractual right, but which is also a bad look for a 24-year-old who is not an established big-leaguer. We all have bosses, and they are watching.

Tauchman, who was sent down a few days later, reported immediately and was in the Scranton lineup the See FRAZIER B3

Dust off the recruitment pitches and cue the breathless anticipation. Kevin Durant is officially a free agent.

The Warriors forward, according to ESPN, declined his $31.5 million player option and will hit the market, maybe to sign with the Knicks or Nets.

Hanging over his free agency, though, is the fact that Durant is somewhere in Manhattan with a fresh surgical scar on his ankle.

Despite the likelihood Durant will miss all of next season because of the Achilles tear — and despite the injury carrying a history of devastating NBA careers — multiple teams are lining up to offer max contracts. The Warriors can extend the most money in the form of a five-year, $221 million deal, while the Knicks, Nets and Clippers are expected to be in the mix with fouryear, $164 million offers.

Durant is so spectacular at basketball the injury doesn’t serve as a deterrent. Contrast that to the market last year for DeMarcus Cousins, who is two years younger than Durant and was also coming off Achilles surgery. Cousins had to settle for a one-year, $5.3 million pact with the Warriors.

Still, the Knicks are cautious about a big commitment to Durant. A source said the team wanted to review the medical records and get a better understanding of the recovery before making an offer. According to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, owner James Dolan is also involved and “expressed a bit of caution — or dare I say, reluctance — to offer Kevin Durant the max.”

After Dolan paid out massive salaries to frequent inactives like Amar’e Stoudemire,

KYLE TERADA/USA TODAY

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (35) sits on the court after suffering an injury in game five against the Toronto Raptors of the 2019 NBA Finals at Scotiabank Arena.

Allan Houston and Antonio McDyess, any trepidation would be understandable.

But is it warranted?

Dr. Steven Weinfeld, the Chief of Foot and Ankle Surgery at The Mount Sinai Health System, explained to the Daily News that Durant’s skill level and style of play means that even if he loses some explosiveness, he can return to his current production levels.

“No matter who it is, it takes about a year or so to get back to a level where they were before the injury,” said Weinfeld, who, it should be noted, did not perform the surgery on Durant or see his medical records. “I think a player like Durant who is less dependent on speed like a guy like John Wall (who is also recovering from Achilles surgery) — so I think a

guy like Durant could recover and get back to exactly where he was based on the type of game he plays. So assuming everything goes smoothly, there’s no reason to think he wouldn’t be, if not the same player, very close to the same player.”

Still, Weinfeld cautioned that the recovery will take time.

“When you have players like this and talk to people who’ve gone back — even professional athletes — you ask them when did they feel right and sometimes it’s not until the second season back,” Weinfeld said. “Even after they come back after one year, their strength continues to improve for somewhere between 18 and 24 months at that point.

So they might not feel at full strength until that second

season. Even if they come back after a year.”

Given the amount of interest in Durant as a free agent, it’s safe to assume he can negotiate his fourth year with the Knicks or Nets as a player option. Under that scenario, a contract will be forged with the following as a possibility: Durant will miss all of next season, fail to regain full strength until the third season, and then become eligible for free agency immediately after.

In other words, one good season for $120 million. For the Nets, assuming they get Kyrie Irving in free agency, it’s less of a risk since their current roster is better equipped to win and roll Durant into a competitive situation. Barring drastic upgrades for the Knicks — which See DURANT B3

Bob Ley joined ESPN just three days after its 1979 launch and, for much of that time, he has been its conscience.

That is coming to an end, and the void Ley will leave behind — not just in what he did, but what he represented — is considerable.

The sports multimedia behemoth’s longest-tenured oncamera employee as well as its most widely respected, Ley announced his retirement from ESPN via Twitter on Wednesday.

A six-month sabbatical begun in October and extended this spring turned out to be a head start for his exit.

“Across 40 years I have enjoyed a professional journey unimaginable when I joined ESPN on its first weekend of existence in 1979,” Ley said.

“Each day since has been a unique adventure, one I embraced for the challenge and unequaled fun of a job like no other.

“Now, it is time for a change.”

Ley, 64, stressed this was solely his decision. He said he is in good health and enjoys “the many blessings of friends and family, and it is in that context that I’m making this change.”

He thanked viewers for the trust they’ve placed in him over the years and ESPN leadership — including Jimmy Pitaro, its president the last 15 months — for “their understanding and patience over the past months.”

Ley obviously is entitled to whatever course he chooses to take, especially at this stage in life.

It is perhaps selfish but wholly understandable to wish he is en route to a new platform from which to ask discomforting questions, speak truth to power and shine a light on

subjects and ideas that might not be exposed otherwise.

The best-case scenario is someone will give Ley a venue like “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel” on HBO, which also trades in the sort of well-considered, in-depth reporting and features that Ley brought to ESPN. ESPN says it will carry on with Ley’s work and his program, “Outside the Lines.” Jeremy Schaap and Ryan Smith, solid reporters, already are slotted to assume most of the show’s hosting duties.

Norby Williamson, ESPN’s executive editor and executive vice president of event and studio production, said in a statement: “While Bob Ley’s departure from ‘Outside the Lines’ ends an important era for the show, we are excited for what lies ahead.”

But will Schaap and Smith command the same sway, earned over decades, and the imprimatur to take on those with whom ESPN does business, such as the NFL, NBA and NCAA?

“The best way we can thank Bob for what he’s meant to ESPN and to sports fans is to continue to uphold the journalist integrity and principles he’s instilled,” Pitaro said in a statement, and one can only hope ESPN delivers on that promise despite all the cutbacks and reorganizaton in recent years.

So much on ESPN these days, however, seems to be about ESPN and/or promotion for something else coming up on ESPN, something in which the company has invested millions or billions.

At present it’s carpet bombing viewers with speculation about this weekend’s start of NBA free agency.

One can’t help but crave a palate cleanser like a thoughtful, classic Ley against-thegrain take on, say, the NCAA threatening California schools over that state’s legislative efforts to get college athletes compensation for the use of their names and likenesses.

Remember a few years back, in May 2015, when FIFA boss Sepp Blatter ran for reelection

just days after the U.S. Department of Justice charged a bunch of officials from soccer’s governing body for wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering?

Ley, who had been covering Blatter and the corrupt FIFA cesspool over which he presided, anchored special coverage.

But as it became clear Blatter was manipulating the proceedings, making a mockery of the official agenda, Ley lost his usual cool.

While Schaap tried to calm him down, Ley literally tore up the agenda and compared FIFA to a sort of governance Chicago Tribune readers would recognize all too easily.

“You’re watching Chicago writ large right now,” Ley said. “There are streets being plowed. There is garbage being picked up. There are arms being twisted and we’re waiting to see. They’re still on agenda No. 11 and they’re supposed to be on 17, so they’re bouncing around the agenda. Makes you wonder what’s going on.”

Oh, there was no mystery to

what was going on, and only someone as normally steady and reliable as Ley could get away with such theatrics without it seeming over the top.

There have been and are many people at ESPN who have made everything about them. That was never the case with Ley. When ESPN found itself in a firestorm over charges of political bias, Ley tried to convince his bosses there needed to be more diversity of voices within.

At the same time, as The Ringer reported last summer, Ley got more “stories on ESPN’s air about race, sex, gender, and labor than anyone.”

That Ringer piece, headlined “How Bob Ley Became ESPN’s Most Important Broadcaster” and published a few months before Ley’s sabbatical, flicked at the notion he might someday leave.

“Look, I play with house money,” Ley told The Ringer’s Bryan Curtis last summer.

“If they piss me off, I’ll say, ‘When’s the next flight to Florida?’ And they know it.”

Then, Curtis noted, Ley retreated a tad.

“It’s never like that at all,” Ley said. “I kid. But the idea that you can’t do this or you can’t do that. ... Jimmy has made it clear that it’s business as it’s been for me.”

Pitaro on Wednesday sang Ley’s praises: “His unwavering commitment and unparalleled work ethic drove our journalistic ambitions in ESPN for nearly 40 years.”

But the last word belongs, as it so often did on ESPN, with Ley himself.

“In September, I signed off my last show saying, ‘I’ll catch you on the flip side,’ “ Ley said.

“Now it’s time to take that vinyl off the turntable — ask your folks — flip it over, and drop the needle on the B-side. There are always great cuts, and hidden gems on the B-side.

“Thank you for a great run.”

FORT WORTH, Texas — They were both brilliant fighters, and 20 years after they danced, one looks over the wonderful life he and his wife built together while the other is dead.

Paulie Ayala, one of Fort Worth’s genuine good citizens, is now 49 with a successful career and a wife, who together have a daughter and a son.

Sitting in his office stuffed with mementos from his boxing career, Paulie speaks of the man who made at least some of this possible with kindness, respect, and sadness.

Twenty years ago, Ayala won the bantamweight title in a brutal 12-round match against Johnny Tapia. What might Ayala’s life look like today without that fight?

Ayala won a unanimous decision, and was named the 1999 Fighter of the Year; his bout with Tapia was named the 1999 Fight of the Year. Watch the fight today and it remains as thrilling, and savage, as it was that night.

On May 12, 2012, Tapia died reportedly of heart disease at the age of 45. He was a beloved fighter for his theatrics, and his willingness to be vulnerable about his struggles, specifically with drugs, alcohol and a horrendous childhood.

Ayala had made an agreement with his wife, Leti, that after he turned pro in 1992, once he lost he would retire.

After climbing for six years for a title shot, he lost a controversial technical decision against Joichiro Tatsuyoshi in Japan for the WBC title.

“It was home cooking,” Ayala said of the decision. “I asked Leti, ‘Do you think I lost?’ “ Leti didn’t, and she encouraged Paulie to keep fighting.

Not long after, Ayala received an offer to fight the undefeated Tapia.

“They took it because I was a decent opponent. I was formidable to market but I would not win,” Ayala said.

Before the two fought, Tapia shoved Ayala in the ring during the introductions. When the two men were in their respective corners before the first bell, Ayala said he could see Tapia shaking in anger.

Both fighters landed hard shots, displayed endless stamina and conditioning, and neither ran from the other.

“I got him to fight my fight, which was to stay there and fight,” Ayala said. “My

best game was to cut him off and make it a fire fight.”

After the fight, both men took turns lifting the other to the crowd. Then ringside announcer Jimmy Lennon said, “ ... . and the new WBA bantamweight champion of the world, Paulie Ayala!”

Tapia could only smile.

Ayala didn’t talk to Tapia again for “a long time” after their fight. He would again, in 2000, when he agreed on several points for a rematch.

Ayala had the belt. Tapia had the name.

“I had to make every concession; I had to agree to less money and a catch weight he wanted,” Ayala said. “But I wanted to do it again.”

Ayala defeated Tapia in their rematch, this time in a controversial decision. Ayala is convinced he won, but that was the end of the rivalry.

Although the two displayed open disdain for the other, particularly Tapia towards Ayala, they actually became

friends.

“In 2004, I was fighting here in Fort Worth and he showed up unannounced,” Ayala said. “I told him, ‘Hey, thanks for coming to my fight. Do you want to hang out after the fight?’ “ The two went to the bar 8.0 in downtown Fort Worth.

“It was like all of it never happened,” Ayala said. “He just came down and I never brought any of it up. I was waiting for him to. We just hung out. It was fun.

Honestly, I felt bad for him. I was a fan of his. I always liked him as a fighter. I just listened to him talk about his problems.”

Problems ... Tapia had a lot of those.

The problems eventually caught up to Tapia, and likely killed him.

“He was doing crazy stuff,” Ayala said.

“He was street fighting, bar fighting, fist fighting, after he was done.”

Ayala received a phone call from a journalist who told him that Tapia had died.

“I was beside myself. I could not believe what happened,” he said.

Ayala went to Albuquerque to pay his respects, and to say thanks. He spoke at Tapia’s funeral.

“I know I was given the opportunity because they thought he would beat me, but it was still an opportunity I needed,” Ayala said. “I needed to fight someone great, like him, to even be considered good. I needed people like that.”

I asked Paulie if he carried any guilt about this. He paused and said no.

“At first it did cross my mind. I didn’t do this to destroy his life. I just did it to become champion,” he said. “I put down everything I owned and have on the line.

My future finances. I risked everything as well. I had everything to lose.”

Paulie didn’t lose.

In a sport where so often the winners are often losers, Paulie used his fight against Johnny Tapia to build an entire life for a family, a city, and a legacy.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Trump criticizes Rapinoe over refusal to visit White House Andrew Das and Victor Mather The New York Times News Service

PARIS — Megan Rapinoe was still sweating through her uniform Monday night, moments after scoring two goals for the United States women’s soccer team, when she was asked what the atmosphere around the Americans’ next World Cup match, an elimination game against France on Friday in Paris, might be like.

“Hopefully a complete spectacle, just an absolute media circus,” she said, with the blend of sarcasm and sincerity that has made her one of the most popular women’s soccer players in the world. “I hope it’s huge and crazy.”

Her wish has begun to come true — though perhaps not in the way she imagined.

On Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump criticized Rapinoe with a threetweet blast in response to a recent interview in which Rapinoe stated, with an obscenity, that she would not go to the White House if the United States were to win the World Cup. Trump, whose office and Twitter account grant him a singular ability to inspire both spectacles and media circuses, wrote that Rapinoe “should never disrespect our country, the White House or our flag.”

“I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women’s Soccer,” the president continued, “but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job!”

Visiting the White House was once a fairly routine activity for U.S. sports teams that won major championships.

Frazier From B1

next game. Now, he’s getting a trip to London.

Oh, and the Yankees prepped for the trip by overcoming a 5-0, second-inning deficit and beating the Blue Jays, 8-7, on Gleyber Torres’ walk-off single in the ninth.

The Yankees finished a 9-1 homestand. Think they are feeling confident? Asked what he was thinking when they were down 5-0, Boone said:

Durant

But with Trump in the White House, such visits have become imbued with political meaning, inspiring fraught conversation each time a team wins a trophy.

Rapinoe, 33, more than most professional athletes, has welcomed such conversations, and there may be no U.S. soccer player, male or female, better equipped to deal with being pulled into the political spotlight.

A winger with a flashy, creative streak, she is one of the finest soccer players the United States has ever produced.

Easy to spot with her swooping wave of lavender-dyed hair, she scored both goals in the United States’ 2-1 win over Spain on Monday, increasing her career tally with the team to 47 in 156 games.

She is one of a handful of U.S. players with a major offthe-field profile, too. Away from the field, Rapinoe, who is gay, has been an outspoken supporter of LGBTQ rights and, more recently, a blunt critic of the president. In 2016, she became one of the few white athletes to join Colin Kaepernick and others when they led an ongoing protest against racism and police violence by kneeling during the national anthem at sporting events.

A co-captain of the women’s national team, she is also a party to its gender discrimination lawsuit against U.S. Soccer.

“The more I’ve been able to learn about gay rights and equal pay and gender equity and racial inequality, the more that it all intersects,” Rapinoe told The Guardian in 2017. “We

need to talk about a larger conversation in this country about equality in general and respect — especially with the recent election and subsequent narrative that’s coming from the White House right now.”

Rapinoe is not the only United States player to say she will not visit the White House; forward Alex Morgan told Time magazine last month that she would not go, and hours after Trump’s tweets, a third American player, Ali Krieger, said she would stand with Rapinoe and not go.

The recent narrative entwining Rapinoe and Trump began Tuesday, when the soccer magazine 8 by 8 tweeted a video clip excerpted from a January interview in which she was asked whether she was looking forward to going to the White House, assuming the national team won this summer.

“No, I’m not going to the White House,” Rapinoe said, repeating herself after initially using a profanity to express the same sentiment. “We’re not going to be invited.”

In 2015, Rapinoe and the United States team won the World Cup in Canada, and the entire team visited the White House for a ceremony with President Barack Obama.

On Wednesday, in his tweet stream, Trump said that he would invite the team to the White House, “win or lose.”

U.S. Soccer said it would have no comment on Rapinoe’s remarks.

A twin and one of six siblings, she grew up in Redding, California, about 200 miles north of San Francisco, and she still speaks with a casual

“Our game.”

Surely the Yankees would have been forgiven for taking a ho-hum loss. The first two MLB games in Europe were on a lot of minds.

They played The Clash’s “London Calling” and “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon on the PA. Still, there was a game to be played on this side of the pond.

Sir Didi Gregorius, the only Yankee who is an actual Knight (in his home country of Curacao), started the comeback with a third-inning solo homer and the Yankees eventually went up 7-6. Zack

Britton blew the save in the ninth, but Torres ended matters with a single to right-center in the bottom half.

“New York, New York” played on the loudspeakers as Torres got a postgame Gatorade bath from Aaron Judge.

Then it was time to pack — “Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today,” as Frank Sinatra put it.

Tommy Kahnle wore a Stars and Stripes bucket hat in the clubhouse, but otherwise the Yankees were low key, as they will be the next two days in London with no public appearances before the games.

PETE KIEHART/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Megan Rapinoe leads the U.S. team onto the field ahead of their Women’s World Cup round of 16 match against Spain in Reims, France on Monday. President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday to criticize Rapinoe after she colorfully said in an interview that she would not go to the White House if the United States wins the Women’Äôs World Cup.

Californian lilt. She came out to her family and close friends in her first year at the University of Portland. She came out publicly a year after the 2011 World Cup, where she had cemented her status as one of the most dynamic players in the country. She had the 35-yard assist on Abby Wambach’s game-tying goal in the waning moments of a quarterfinal against Brazil, one of the biggest goals in U.S. soccer history.

She also became one of the most popular players — among

fans around the world and her own teammates — thanks in part to her irreverent sense of humor and a porous filter for her innermost thoughts.

Rapinoe’s awakening to politics came gradually, later in her career.

On Sept. 4, 2016, while playing for the Seattle Reign in a National Women’s Soccer League game in Chicago, she dropped down to one knee during the playing of the national anthem, becoming the

first white athlete and first woman to take part in the protest movement started by Kaepernick.

The decision launched her into a rapidly boiling national conversation over athletes and activism, earning her months of vitriol from critics along with outpourings of support.

Rapinoe was not made available for interviews Wednesday and did not respond to Trump on social media.

If they’re having tea with the Queen, they are keeping it under wraps.

Said Judge: “The fans are going to be in for quite a treat over there.”

So are the Yankees. At least the ones who got to go.

1 Month is possible given their copious cap space that they can use now or roll over into 2020 — they aren’t ready compete with or without a healthy Durant.

Several NBA players — Kobe Bryant, Elton Brand, Christian Laettner and Mehmet Okur, among them — were wrecked by the Achilles tear. Others, like Dominique Wilkins and Rudy Gay, came much closer to regaining their pre-injury form.

There is a low risk of re-rupturing the Achilles (just one or two percent, according to Weinfeld), but there’s atrophy involved with the calf muscle and explosiveness tends to deteriorate. Weinfeld said there should be no difference in the recovery timeline based on the degree of the Achilles tear: “Once you have the surgery, the clock starts at that point.”

Advances in the procedure have sped up the process, too.

Running typically starts three to four months after surgery, according to Weinfeld, “and somewhere in the ninemonth range is when most players will start feel strong enough to get back to playing.” That would take Durant into March, toward the end of the regular season. At that point, he’s more likely to just sit out the remainder.

Regardless of all these warnings, Durant is very much a wanted man in free agency. It says a lot about his talent, and a bit about the desperation of teams with cap space.

REPORT:

Knicks could pursue Cousins Field Level Media

The New York Knicks still have hopes of signing Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant or Kawhi Leonard but are preparing for the possibility they don’t land the one they seemingly covet the most: Durant.

The New York Times’ Marc Stein reported the Knicks could offer a oneyear contract to Durant’s Golden State Warriors teammate, 6-foot-11 center DeMarcus Cousins, if they can’t lure Durant to Madison Square Garden.

Cousins, who will turn 29 before the season starts, was a four-time All-Star with the Sacramento Kings and New Orleans Pelicans. He suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon playing for the Pelicans against the Houston Rockets on Jan. 26, 2018, and returned to the NBA a year later.

He joined the Warriors on a one-year, $5.3 million deal in free agency last offseason. He averaged 16.3 points and 8.2 rebounds in 30 games during the regular season but was limited to just eight games in the Warriors’ run to the NBA Finals because of a torn quad.

The speculation about Cousins and the Knicks comes amid a Los Angeles Times report that Durant has sold his oceanfront home in Southern California. Ric Bucher of Bleacher Report said Durant has bought a home in New York.

The Brooklyn Nets are believed to be the frontrunner in the sweepstakes for Durant, who

is expected to miss all of next season with the torn Achilles he suffered in Game 5 of the Celtics likely to sign Walker The Boston Celtics are expected to make All-Star guard Kemba Walker a four-year, $141 million contract offer when free agency opens Sunday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported.

Walker, who spent his first eight seasons in the league with the Charlotte Hornets, is expected to accept the offer, Wojnarowski reported, citing league sources.

Just two weeks ago, Walker said he would take less than the fiveyear, $221 million “supermax” contract only the Hornets could offer him to stay in Charlotte.

Wojnarowski reported Thursday, however, that Hornets owner Michael Jordan no longer is “determined to extend far enough financially to resign his franchise player.”

In Boston, Walker would replace Kyrie Irving, who is expected to sign elsewhere, and bring veteran leadership to a team that suffered from dissension in the locker room in the 201819 season.

The 29-year-old Connecticut product averaged 25.6 points and 5.9 assists while starting all 82 games for the Hornets last season. Those numbers are above his eightyear career averages of 19.8 points and 5.5 assists.

Walker could anchor a starting lineup featuring Gordon Hayward, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.

UConn’s move to Big East made official with trustees vote Alex Putterman The Hartford Courant

STORRS, Conn. — The UConn Board of Trustees on Wednesday approved the school’s jump to the Big East, clearing the way for an announcement with conference officials at Madison Square Garden on Thursday.

“While we all appreciate the AAC,” interim board chairman Thomas Ritter said, “the board has made a decision that is best for the athletic (department).

At this time I support accepting the Big East’s invitation as the better overall fit that in my opinion is best for our studentathletes.”

“Make no mistake, we will still be committed to our football program,” Ritter continued. “We will have options for football and decide on a pathway for a successful and exciting football program.”

Big East schools signed off on UConn as a member Monday and Connecticut attorney general William Tong quickly cleared the move, leaving the Board of Trustees as the sole barrier between the school and a conference that is expected to offer better competition for its sports teams, particularly in men’s and women’s basketball.

“It’s a great day for Connecticut and for the university and for these programs,” Tong said Wednesday after university president Susan Herbst signed a contract making the conference change official. “Not just basketball but for all of our sports and for the students and the faculty and the coaches.”

UConn will likely pay an exit fee of at least $10 million to the American Athletic Conference, of which it is currently a member. The entrance fee to the Big East is $3.5 million sources told The Courant.

School officials said Wednesday they would not comment on the conference change until after Thursday’s press conference, which has been organized by the Big East.

“I promise that (athletic director) Dave (Benedict) and I will talk to you at great length when we can,” Herbst said. “We

Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma talks to reporters ahead of the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla., on April 4.

need a little patience for a couple days.”

Benedict, men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley and women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma were all in attendance Wednesday when Herbst and the board made the Big East move official. Former Huskies forward Rebecca Lobo, now a member of the Board of Trustees, voted in favor of the change over speakerphone.

Gov. Ned Lamont, who is president of the board, did not attend, instead chairing a state Bond Commission meeting.

UConn decision to jump conferences creates uncertainty for its football program, given that the Big East does not sponsor football and the AAC is unlikely to allow the Huskies to remain as a football-only member. UConn could explore opportunities in other conferences or play as an independent, at least in the short term. The school is not expected to abandon football altogether or drop its program to the FCS level.

“We have a schedule for 2019 and that

is what we have been preparing for,” football coach Randy Edsall said in a written statement Wednesday. “All my focus has been on getting this program and facilities back to where we all want it regardless of WHERE WE PLAY OR WHO WE PLAY.” During the public-comment session of the Board of Trustees meeting, a 2015 UConn graduate named Tom McDougall said the move to the Big East would “slit throat” of the Huskies’ football program and put the entire athletic department in “conference purgatory.”

UConn was a member of the Big East Conference from 1979-2013, before the league changed its name to the AAC and several of its core members broke away to form their own conference under the Big East banner. In the reconstituted Big East, UConn will reunite with former rivals including Georgetown, Villanova, St. John’s and Providence.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Couple battles over who handles bill-paying My newly retired husband and I lead a nice life and are in good health. Our two girls are grown and established. Our battle is over my husband “taking back” some of the duties I have performed for years, like paying and mailing out our monthly bills, some of which I pay in DEAR ABBY person.

This task is easy for me and never a hardship. We have excellent credit. He now wants all the bills to come to him online, and he’ll pay them online, leaving me out of the process.

I want to continue to handle bill paying as I always have, occasionally taking a statement to a department store or whatever. I use a debit card for regular shopping and a credit card in certain stores.

My husband paying bills online cuts me out of the process, and I don’t like it. I prefer the method I have used for decades. Is this more of a control issue than anything else? Any ideas?

Stifled In Washington

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Yes, it is a control issue. It is also an indication that your husband doesn’t have enough to do.

Because the bill paying is partly a social outlet for you, you should not allow the task to be taken over. Tell your husband he needs to find something else to do — mow the lawn, paint the garage, volunteer his time — but not the bill paying because it makes you uncomfortable.

A compromise might be for him to pay some of the bills online and you pay the rest. However, if something unexpected happens to your husband you absolutely must know how the online system

works so you can assume the task seamlessly.

I met my husband 22 years ago and decided to move in with him. I was 21. My mother has never approved of him. He is a blue-collar, hardworking, huge-hearted man. I know Mom was disappointed that I didn’t marry a doctor or a lawyer. Instead, I married the man I fell in love with.

The last 22 years haven’t been easy. She acts like she accepts him, but then she says horrible things about him. We both have helped my parents during some difficult times, but she still says things that hurt like, “I’m glad you two never had kids.”

Well, lo and behold, I ended up getting pregnant at 40, and we have an amazing son together. I keep trying to start over with Mom, especially since my son was born, but she has continued her evil ways.

I’m finally done with her, and my husband and I have decided to move to another state where my husband’s family lives so our son can grow up surrounded by loving people. I feel sad, but my mother is not willing to accept us. Am I doing the right thing by moving?

Anxious In Arizona

DR. KEITH ROACH

It sounds to me that the physician may not have communicated as effectively as I might have hoped. Osteoarthritis, although a widespread cause of joint pain, is not an autoimmune disease, and it is not treated with prednisone. Instead, it sounds very much like you may have polymyalgia rheumatica.

PMR is found in women more often than in men and rarely in people under 50, most commonly in a person’s 70s. Hallmark symptoms are joint pain, especially of the shoulders and upper arms, that is much worse in the morning. PMR also is very sensitive to prednisone 10-20 mg: If it doesn’t respond dramatically to those kinds of doses, it probably isn’t PMR. A laboratory finding, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is almost always very elevated (92-94%) in PMR. A different blood test for inflammation, C-reactive protein, is abnormal in 99% of people with the condition.

Treatment is low-dose prednisone, usually

I’m sorry for what you and your husband have been put through. You have clearly tried to make the relationship with your mother work. Because YOU are a mother now, focus on creating a happy life for your son, your husband and yourself. You are doing the right thing for the right reasons.

Your mother is toxic.

Polymyalgia rheumatica is an autoimmune disease I was recently worked up for an autoimmune disease that now seems to be osteoarthritis. I was placed on 10 mg of prednisone for 14 days with amazing relief from my painful shoulder and arms. I TO YOUR am severely allergic to aspiGOOD HEALTH rin and do not want to take opioids. The physician has ordered prednisone 2.5-5 mg daily to control symptoms.

Is it safe to take this low dose of prednisone daily for pain control?

given at 10-20 mg per day to start, as long as it is controlling symptoms. About half of people will be able to come off of medication after a year or two, but some people continue on treatment for six years or more.

Unfortunately, even at these low doses, roughly half of people can develop a side effect due to the steroids, especially cataracts. People on long-term steroids should have careful monitoring of blood pres- Hagar the Horrible sure, sugar and cholesterol levels, as well as bone density. Alternate treatments that don’t rely on steroids are in development.

My sister, 75, is taking only two drugs for the past three years, and they are both for high blood pressure. Now she finds that her blood pressure is 110/70 and wonders why she can’t take less of her medications as an experiment.

For instance, if she cut her pills in half and still has her blood pressure under 120/80, would there be any problem with this?

The optimum goal of blood pressure treatment is still not known; however, evidence is accumulating that it might be lower than the less than 140/ less than 90 that is has typically been the target. At least in higher-risk people with high blood pressure, a large trial found that a goal blood pressure of less than 120/less than 90 had better outcomes than the traditional goal. Don’t reduce the dose without a discussion, nor cut the pill in half without checking with the doctor or pharmacist.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are one of the most irrepressibly creative individuals born under your sign, and you are driven at all times by a desire to make, do and matter. You have been endowed with a sense of importance, of “destiny” if you will, and you are determined at all times to be recognized for your remarkable talents and rewarded for what you bring to the world at large. Desire, however, is not enough — nor is a feeling that you were meant for “big” things. You have to work hard to accomplish things and must dedicate yourself to the kind of achievements that are long-standing and undeniable. You aren’t likely to get what you want simply by asking for it; you’re going to have to earn it.

You are not always practical, of course, and this may prove your downfall if you allow yourself to ignore concrete realities that affect you on a day-to-day basis.

Also born on this date are: King Henry VIII of England; John Elway, football player; Mel Brooks, writer and director; Kathy Bates, actress; John Cusack, actor; Pat Morita, actor.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

SATURDAY, JUNE 29 CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Your search for a missing piece leads you to an entirely different puzzle — and this one has the potential to change everything for the good.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You may have made a decision recently that is rendering all manner of things more difficult than expected. You can always change your mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You get caught up in a debate that sees other people twisting your words

and assigning new meaning to them. This cannot be allowed!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — If you’re not careful, you may find yourself in a situation that you cannot control — but that is sure to control you in little time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You don’t want to be left out of something that you were instrumental in planning in the first place! By all means, make yourself available.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You may be bothered by little things that others aren’t even aware of today. This doesn’t mean that you’re right and they’re wrong!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You can afford to be a little more realistic and down-to-earth today as you deal with someone whose aspirations are in the clouds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You don’t want to be left holding the bag, do you? You must be sure that you are leading the pack, not bringing up the rear.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You have an opportunity today to make a daring escape of sorts — but you don’t want to leave a certain someone behind. Make a joint plan.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You can have a great deal of fun today doing precisely what you are told, especially if you are able to include a friend in the proceedings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — The time for secrecy is over; you must be willing to come clean and tell all. Today is a good day for starting over — if you can.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You can see what’s coming with greater clarity than ever before, perhaps. You must explain to others what is on the line — and why.
