LOS ANGELES — It was a rare rainy day in the City of Angels when Hillsdale Town Supervisor Peter Cipkowski and his husband Bill Kramer attended the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony Sunday.

Actor Tom Hanks announced the new Academy of Motion Pictures Museum at 6067 Wilshire Blvd., will open on the Los Angeles County Museum of Art campus Dec. 14 with Kramer as its director.

Kramer moved to Hillsdale five years ago from Los Angeles.

He accepted the job last fall and took over Jan. 1. Cipkowski will split his time between Los Angeles and Hillsdale while Kramer settles into his new role. “[My husband] actually worked with Tom Hanks over the weekend to prepare the launch announcement of the

museum,” Cipkowski said.

“Now there’s this large complex devoted to the art and study of motion pictures, and the history of motion pictures, that my husband is the director of.”

A project years in the making, Kramer acted as the Academy Museum’s managing director

of development and external relations from 2012 to 2016, being instrumental throughout city council approval processes.

“I have a deep connection to the Academy Museum,” Kramer said. “I am so looking forward See MOTION A4

Family members and area schools are mourning the passing of teacher Victoria Sweatt of Hudson, who was killed Friday in a onecar crash in the Fulton County town of Mayfield. State police are looking into the accident to determine its exact cause.

MAYFIELD — A Hudson woman died in a car crash in the Fulton County town of Mayfield on Friday, state police said.

Victoria Sweatt, 43, was killed when the 2012 Hyundai Elantra she was driving crossed into the southbound lane on Route 30 in Mayfield and collided head-on with a tractor-trailer, according to state police.

The tractor-trailer, which was traveling south at the time of the collision, was operated by 57-year-old Daniel Barr of

Cobleskill, according to state police.

Barr was not ticketed in the crash, Trooper Kerra Burns said.

There had been a snowstorm the day of the accident, and weather is thought to have been a factor in the crash, Burns said.

“It looks to be weatherrelated, but that is from the preliminary investigation,” Burns said. “We had a storm that day in the area. We believe the crash was related to the weather.”

Investigators are continuing to look into the crash and determine its exact cause,

state police.

Mayfield had freezing rain Thursday night, turning to snow on Friday, according to meteorologist Dan Thompson of the National Weather Service in Albany. The area had four to five inches of snow of the ground by the time the storm ended Friday afternoon.

“There was rain turning to snow that day, and freezing rain the night before,” Thompson said. “We had a winter weather advisory for the area on Friday.”

Sweatt lived in Hudson with her husband of 21 years,

In Harvey Weinstein trial, witness contests account of assault: ‘That never happened’

By Laura Newberry

staff, assistants, other people

Los Angeles Times (TNS)

NEW YORK — A witness in Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial Monday vehemently denied helping facilitate an alleged assault between the fallen Hollywood mogul and accuser Lauren Young.

Under a fiery cross-examination by the prosecution, however, Claudia Salinas said that her memory of the encounter between Weinstein and Young was patchy.

Last week, Young testified that she had been living in Los Angeles for two years when she first met Weinstein in February 2013 in the restaurant of the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, a meeting allegedly set up by Salinas.

The premise of the meeting Young said, was to talk about her unfinished script.

Weinstein, Salinas and Young talked briefly at the restaurant over drinks, Young said. Then, she alleges, Weinstein told both women that he needed to go up to his room because he had to prepare to accept an award later that night, and he invited them to join him.

Young said that once they entered Weinstein’s hotel room, the producer led her into a bathroom, with Salinas behind her. She then said Salinas trapped her in the bathroom while Weinstein groped her and masturbated.

During rapid-fire questioning by defense attorney Damon Cheronis, Salinas denied going to Weinstein’s suite that night with Young.

“Do you ever recall following Lauren Young into that suite?” Cheronis asked.

“That never happened,” Salinas said, calling the evening “uneventful.”

But during cross-examination, Salinas acknowledged that she previously told investigators that she wasn’t sure whether she and Young went to Weinstein’s room that night.

“I remember meeting for a drink,” Salinas told the jury.

“I’ve always remembered meeting for a drink. That’s all I remember.”

According to transcripts from an interview with investigators in 2019, Salinas said she didn’t remember such an encounter in a hotel suite.

Harvey Weinstein arrives at Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday, Feb. 10, 2020. He faces life imprisonment if convicted of predatory sexual assault charges.

“I don’t recall, but it could have happened,” Salinas said in that interview.

Young, a Pennsylvania native who was 22 at the time of the alleged 2013 attack, was the last of six women to testify against Weinstein in Manhattan, where he faces five counts of sexual assault and life in prison if convicted.

Young, now 30, is also one of two women whose allegations led Los Angeles County prosecutors to file nine charges of rape and sexual misconduct against Weinstein in early January.

During cross-examination, prosecutor Meghan Hast called attention to inconsistencies between what Salinas told investigators in 2019 and what she told jurors on Monday.

Salinas said Weinstein never asked her to bring Young specifically to the hotel meeting. But when questioned by Hast, Salinas said she did remember the mogul prohibiting her from inviting someone other than Young.

“You were upset by that?”

Hast asked.

“I was,” Salinas said.

Salinas said Weinstein

usually asked her to bring her “good-looking friends” to parties he invited her to. She told investigators in 2019 that Weinstein could be a bully.

“When you talked to the DA, do you remember telling (them) that he was not very ethical?” Hast asked.

“I may have used those words but I didn’t mean it literally,” Salinas said, adding, “Mr. Weinstein had to have his way.”

Salinas, who now works primarily as a social media influencer, testified that she met Weinstein when she was 19 and the producer was around 50. She never had a romantic or sexual relationship with Weinstein, she said, but during that first meeting he was “flirtatious.”

She said Weinstein later helped her secure a small role in the 2004 movie “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights.”

Salinas said she had been in Weinstein’s hotel suites in Los Angeles on several occasions, as he often used those rooms as a “mobile office,” but had never been alone with him in that setting.

“There were always people around,” she said. “Hotel

OUR VIEW

The lighthouse must be preserved and protected There is no doubt that the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse is in trouble. Its underwater foundation is deteriorating and its structure is losing its integrity. Further erosion could cause the base of the lighthouse to sway and sink into the Hudson River.

The Preservation League of New York State recognized this fact and named the lighthouse one of seven historic sites threatened by time, climate and catastrophic damage. Repairing the lighthouse looks to be a heavy-duty job.

Rescuing the lighthouse is, of course, a top priority, making sure that this iconic structure can survive for future generations to learn from and enjoy. But decades of exposure to wind, tides and currents,

sun and storms, have taken their toll. The lighthouse and the other six stateselected sites (called the Seven to Save) pose unique engineering problems.

The problems with the lighthouse will be tough to surmount.

This year, the lighthouse will enter a new restoration phase. Another underwater study will be conducted to evaluate the condition of the pilings that were replaced in 2009. The next step involves restoring the rip-rap that protects the pilings.

The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse Preservation Committee is enthusiastic.

No one familiar with the lighthouse and its history wants to see this grand landmark closed down, or worse, sink to a watery

grave in the Hudson River.

Maybe the funding, still to be announced, will be enough to support this project through to its end: a stalwart lighthouse that can withstand the elements for years to come.

Preservation League President Jay DiLorenzo, speaking last week, used the word “vulnerable” to describe the lighthouse.

We hope the Preservation League’s citation and the funding to follow will change that appellation.

The lighthouse is a celebrated and cherished piece of history named for two outstanding communities.

The lighthouse is an essential and irreplaceable part of the fabric and identity of the region and must stay that way.

Apps are selling your location data.

The U.S. government is buying. (c) 2020, The Washington Post ·

Americans have lately been learning that the apps they use to check whether they need an umbrella, or follow their favorite sports team, or hurl one animated animal at another for points, are sucking up their location data and selling it. Now it turns out that it’s not only advertising companies and other private entities who end up buying this information en masse from brokers. The U.S. government is doing it, too.

The Wall Street Journal wrote last week that federal agencies have purchased access to a virtual trove that charts the movements of millions of citizens’ cellphones from a company called Venntel.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its components are reportedly harnessing this data for immigration enforcement: searching for activity in unexpected places to pin down smuggling rings, or detecting individuals who may have entered the country illegally. (Spending records indicate that the Drug Enforcement Administration paid $25,000 to Venntel in 2018. The Justice Department told us the DEA does not “com-

ment on contracting matters.”)

Customs and Border Protection says it accesses only small quantities of the data on a case-by-case basis rather than examining the entire cache in bulk, and that the data is anonymized. But anonymity is a laughable concept when every individual’s day can be turned into a traveling dot that follows a path only they take. A New York Times investigation in 2018 revealed how simple it is to connect a dot to the person it represents - whether that person is a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory or an undocumented mother recently arrived from Mexico.

Authorities may hope to preempt some concerns about civil liberties by alleging that they’re training their eyes only on suspected non-citizens, but it’s impossible to avoid roping in citizens, too, when information is requisitioned at so massive a volume. It’s also impossible not to imagine what else, and who else, officials might seek to track, once they’ve come up with the legal rationale for doing so.

Americans shouldn’t have to rely on the good graces

of the bureaucracy to protect them from overreach.

The rationale for warrantless surveillance in this case sidesteps Fourth Amendment law - or tries to. The Supreme Court ruled in Carpenter v. United States that the government couldn’t subpoena geographic data directly from cellphone companies without going through the courts, precisely because of that data’s “depth, breadth, and comprehensive reach.” So the government started buying the exact same data from brokers on the open market instead, arguing that the purchases were fair game because any old company could make them.

This strategy is awfully cynical. Congress has failed to pass a comprehensive privacy statute that shields people from having their every move logged in a database such as the one in question today. Now, this lack of privacy from corporate actors has become an excuse for government to bypass the right to privacy from the state that the Constitution is supposed to enshrine.

The DHS insists this is legal. But should it be?

Clarifying some points concerning Cairo water

By Mary T. Finneran First let me thank The Daily Mail for the timely, comprehensive articles and editorial regarding the PFOS in Cairo’s water; the concern for the community is heartening to this Cairo resident.

Secondly, I want to be very clear that, although the PFOS in Cairo’s water is a result of one type of firefighting foam being used for training at the Greene County Firefighting training facility (discontinued for several years now), no blame should be cast onto the heroic volunteer firefighters nor those working for Emergency Services.

Concern for their good health is foremost in my mind and I hope they were well-protected from this insidious toxin used in the trainings.

This is not an undue concern as one volunteer fireman told me his company alone, of many in the county, used to train with the foam at least once a year, most often at the training facility. One would think this might have been common for many firefighters in the possible four decades the foam was used at the facility for training. That’s a lot of PFOS very close to the Shinglekill which feeds our well in Angelo Canna Park.

Please allow me to clarify some points made in the Daily Mail: while the report of 13.3 parts per trillion (ppt) before treatment and 11.3 ppt after treatment was in the 2018 water quality report (WQR) as correctly stated in the paper, the actual sample was taken in the fall of 2016 two years before the 2018 WQR. And the most recent 8.37 ppt before treatment and 8.51 ppt after

MY VIEW

MARY T.

FINNERAN treatment (note the treatment number is higher?) was taken in fall of 2017, again two years before the 2019 WQR. Upon calling the NYS Department of Health (DOH) today an official was stymied as to why the data should have taken so long to get into the WQR. He suggested a month or two should have been more than enough time for the town to have received the information. A mystery of some concern as notification three years ago may have allowed people to mitigate their own personal water consumption as PFAS (known as forever chemicals) are bio- accumulative, meaning they build up in the body. These delays resulted in three years of unnecessary accumulation, including at Cairo Elementary School where thirsty active kids drink a lot of water.

The bio accumulation brings me to another clarification to the Daily Mail information. In the article it was mentioned that the substance stays in the body for five years. In truth five years is the average half life for PFAS in the body, which means it takes five years for half of the substance to be eliminated, (three quarters would be gone in about 8 years, seven eighths in

about 10 years and so on).

Of course this can only happen if there is NO further contamination, any contamination delays the elimination and any amount is bad.

Which brings about yet another point of serious concern. 8.5ppt might be below the maximum containment level (MCL) of 10ppt expected to be set by the DOH this spring, but it is still far too high, especially for those hoping to not bioaccumulate any further amount. So we hope, as the Daily Mail makes clear, that the town will still work to filter out this toxin and find a well not in the same contamination area as the current well.

Although some might say the difference between 13.3 and 8.5ppt is very significant, and the town seemed elated that the numbers seem to be dropping; according to water experts I spoke to at a drinking water quality conference in Albany Tuesday, the apparent drop between just two samples does NOT necessarily mean that the next sample will also be a drop. The next sample could actually be higher than any; I was told numerous factors can make readings vary and when talking about trillions in droplets of water we need a lot more samples to be sure.

Which makes me very glad to know that the town will be taking quarterly samples; I just have to hope these samples will be taken from wells not in the same vicinity, and that the reports from the samples won’t take two years to get to the Water Quality Reports. Thank you.

Michael Sweatt. The couple has three sons.

Victoria Sweatt taught English and special education, most recently as a special education teacher at Stissing Mountain Junior/Senior High School, 2829 Church St., Pine Plains.

“She got into the [special education] field because one of her brothers had a disability. She was one of six children,” Michael Sweatt recalled Monday. “She wanted to help other people with those kinds of conditions live better lives.”

Victoria Sweatt worked for many years to earn her master’s degree as an English and special education teacher, Michael said.

“After getting that degree, the Pine Plains school district got in touch with her. She was thrilled at getting her own classroom, with her own students,” Michael Sweatt said.

She joined the staff at the school this year.

“She had a passion for

the world, according to its website.

The building itself is a work of art, Cipkowski said.

“It was a 1930s art deco department store that was quite famous in Los Angeles in its day, and it’s on the LACMA campus and the Academy of Motion Pictures acquired this old department store, which I think had been abandoned for some time, to become sort of the centerpiece of the museum,” Cipkowski said. “And then Bill used to work with the Academy years ago before he came to Hillsdale, worked with Renzo Piano, a famous Italian architect who basically gutted, remodeled the old department store and added this incredible sphere. It’s now called the Geffen Theater, but it’s a remarkable piece of architecture that houses a huge

theater attached to the department store.”

Cipkowski said, as he was seated at the ceremony, he responded to a text from a Hillsdale town board member.

“As Town Supervisor, I am on call 24/7,” Cipkowski said.

He headed back to Hillsdale on Monday morning for meetings and to get some work done at town hall.

While Kramer is a relative newcomer to New York, Cipkowski grew up in Hillsdale and served for eight years on the town board before becoming supervisor. He is in his second term.

“This was my first time at the Oscars, and it was a particularly historic night,” Cipkowski said.

“It was the first time a nonEnglish, international picture, “Parasite,” won, not only best

foreign film, but also best picture.”

The South Korean film is only the 11th non-English film to be nominated. Its director, Bong Joon Ho, took home Best Director, and the film was also awarded Best Original Screenplay, with nominations in the Production Design and Film Editing categories. Miky Lee, executive producer of “Parasite,” is a trustee of the museum.

“It’s interesting when I think the Oscars are sort of a symbol of, in a way, the American Dream,” Cipkowski said of his time spent in the presence of artists.

He said seeing the production live is a different kind of experience and the show moves quickly, especially with such amazing performances.

“I did get to share a gin and

tonic with Olivia Colman, who won Best Actress last year, and clink glasses with a couple of other wonderful people,” Cipkowski said.

The museum will have both permanent and special exhibits, including an inaugural exhibit from Spike Lee, which he announced during the ceremony Sunday.

“We cannot wait to welcome the whole world to the Academy Museum,” Kramer said. “When our doors open on Dec. 14, our thrilling combination of exhibitions, screenings and public educational programs will create unparalleled experiences for movie lovers everywhere.”

prevent flames from spreading to a commercial building less than 10 feet away next door, fire officials said.

The weather early Monday morning made fighting the fire difficult, officials said.

Snow was falling heavily in

sub-freezing termperatures at the time of the fire, which slowed down travel time, officials said.

The Greene County Cause and Origin Team is looking into the cause but at this time it does not appear to

be suspicious, Tuomey said.

Firefighters were back in service at 4:45 a.m. Route 23A was closed while firefighters were at the scene, officials said. Motorists were being detoured onto side streets.

teaching and a great deal of compassion for her students.

During her short time with us she made a lasting impression on her students and her colleagues alike,” Pine Plains Central School District Superintendent Martin Handler said in a statement.

“Our hearts go out to her husband, her sons and her extended family,” Handler said.

“Though her time with us was brief she will not be forgotten.”

Before joining the Pine Plains district, Sweatt was a teacher at Astor Services for Children and Families in Rhinebeck. Before that she taught for a little over a year at Warren Street Academy in Hudson, where she taught English, said Dan Kalbfliesh, acting principal at Warren Street Academy.

“We were her first full-time job when she got her full certification to teach 7-12 [grade] English,” Kalbfliesh said.

Sweatt was engaged with her students, he said.

“I have a very vivid memory of her dressing up for Halloween. She was always very enthusiastic about different events throughout the year, but the Halloween costume

really sticks out — she dressed as a witch,” Kalbfliesh said.

“Her top priority was establishing deep relationships with her students. She took a lot of care in the things that happened with them outside of school.”

Earlier in her career Sweatt also worked as a substitute teacher in the Hudson City School District for nearly 10 years.

“Our hearts and thoughts are with the Sweatt family,” said Maria Lagana Suttmeier, superintendent of schools for the Hudson district. “Victoria will be remembered as a dedicated mother to her three sons, Tristan, Devon and Mason. She was also a valued substitute in our district before taking a job at the Warren Street Academy.”

In addition to her work in education, Victoria Sweatt was a published poet, penning two books, her husband said.

She also loved music and the outdoors — she was an avid hiker — and nature, especially the ocean. The couple were planning a vacation somewhere near the Atlantic Ocean on their next anniversary.

CATSKILL — Catskill moved a game closer to a perfect season in Patroon Conference boys basketball with a 77-56 victory over Rensselaer on Saturday

afternoon.

The Cats are now 15-0 in the Patroon and can finish unbeaten in league play with a victory at Coxsackie-Athens on Tuesday. The Cats are 17-1 overall and currently ranked sixth in

the state in Class B. Rensselaer certainly was not a pushover in Saturday’s game and gave the Cats a game well into the third quarter before running out of gas.

“We knew Rensselaer was

going to come in ready to play,” Catskill coach Doug Lampman said. “They have had some quality wins and have put together a nice season. It was a fun

Betts, Price, after much delay, to join Dodgers in revised deal Jorge Castillo Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Nearly a week after agreeing to a seismic trade that would’ve sent superstar Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers before the Boston Red Sox got cold feet at the finish line, angering people at all levels of the baseball industry, the two sides finally agreed to a slightly different deal Sunday, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.

The Red Sox, a deep-pocketed franchise seeking to dip under the collective balance threshold, will ship Betts and starter David Price with money to cover half of the $96 million remaining on Price’s contract to the Dodgers. The Red

The three clubs worked on an adjusted deal over the next several days but could not come to a three-way agreement. As a result, the Dodgers and Twins agreed on a separate deal not involving the Red Sox on Sunday. In it, Maeda will still go to Minnesota along with $10 million and a prospect, but Graderol would be sent to Los Angeles, not Boston, along with the No. 67 pick in June’s draft and outfield See DODGERS B3

DAYTONA, Fla. — Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has something to prove entering the 2020 season.

He didn’t waste any time, capturing the pole Sunday for next week’s 62nd annual Daytona 500 to make a statement for himself and his new race team.

Driving his first season with JTG Daugherty Racing, Stenhouse Jr.’s No. 47 Chevrolet earned the top spot in the 40-driver field with a lap of 46.253 seconds at 194.582 mph on Sunday at the 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway.

Alex Bowman will start alongside Stenhouse Jr. on the front row next Sunday after turning a lap of 46.305 seconds.

It will be the third 500 start on the front row for Bowman,, the 2018 pole-sitter.

Six off-the-court memories of Kobe Bryant Arash Markazi Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — The stories came pouring in from friends, family and complete strangers who wanted to pass on their encounters with Kobe Bryant. Most of them began the same way, “I only met Kobe one time, but ...”

It would be normal to romanticize those moments in the immediate aftermath of the death of Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others in a helicopter crash two weeks ago, but they all made me smile because they perfectly reflected the man I grew to know over the last 20 years.

Bryant would be the first to tell you he wasn’t exactly the most humble person at the beginning of his career. At an early age, he knew he was special. He knew he had both the Godgiven talent and the relentless work ethic to become one of the greatest basketball players ever. He had no problem letting you know you were in the midst of greatness when he was trying to establish himself.

As he grew older and his place in basketball history began to crystallize, he realized the platform he had created for himself allowed him to let his guard down. He became more open with the media and began to cold call, text and email people he wanted to talk to. He reached out to everyone from authors and actors to entrepreneurs and musicians he respected.

He knew you knew him, and even though he didn’t know you personally, he made you feel like he wanted to. One of the most viral stories following Bryant’s death was from ESPN’s Elle Duncan, who relayed her one and only meeting with him — a 30-minute conversation two years ago — where he told her how much he loved being a “girl dad.”

We all saw Bryant grow up before our eyes as a teenager who arrived in Los Angeles straight out of high school to a 41-year-old husband and father of four girls. Everyone has their favorite moments of Bryant’s 20-year career on the court, but in my time covering him, these are the off-the-court moments that stand out most.

The last time I sat down with Bryant was in his office in Costa Mesa before the Oct. 22 season opener between the Lakers and Clippers. I had seen him one year earlier when I was one month into my current weight loss journey. I

was more than 300 pounds during his final season, and as he was leaving Staples Center, surrounded by cameras and reporters, he stopped me and said, “You look incredible. How much weight have you lost?”

I had lost 43 pounds at that point, and he wanted to know what I was doing, what I was planning to do and if I needed any help.

When I saw him again about three months ago, I had lost 130 pounds, and he just looked me up and down, smiled and gave me a hug.

“Look at you,” he said. “Keep it going. I want you to be around for a long time.”

Going into Game 5 of the 2009 NBA finals in Orlando, I was staying at the team hotel and came down to the hotel lobby bar around midnight to find Bryant sipping on Coronas with a few friends. I had never hung out with him socially, but he invited me to join them for a drink.

We finished our drinks around 2 a.m. and went our separate ways. I have a hard time sleeping on the road so I woke up around 5 a.m. and went to the lobby to grab a snack and saw

NHL roundup: Rookie goalie leads Rangers to victory Field Level Media

Rookie Igor Shesterkin made 42 saves as host New York scored three times in the third period in Sunday’s 4-1 victory over Los Angeles, which is 1-91 in its past 11 games and hasn’t scored more than three goals in any game during the skid.

Shesterkin, who improved to 5-1 since making his NHL debut on Jan. 7, made 30 saves in the final 40 minutes before the Rangers put the game away.

Los Angeles goaltender Jonathan Quick made 37 saves and took his eighth straight loss as the Kings also completed a winless (0-4-0) four-game road trip.

Avalanche 3, Wild 2 Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog had goals, Pavel Francouz stopped 34 shots, and the visiting Colorado Avalanche beat the Minnesota Wild.

Pierre-Edouard Bellmare also scored for Colorado, which won the final four games of its fivegame road trip.

Nazem Kadri had an assist for the Avalanche before leaving the game late in the second period because of an injury. He returned in the third period before going back to the locker room. Avalanche coach Jared Bednar told ESPN that Kadri suffered a lower-body injury and will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Denver on Monday.

Kevin Fiala and Jared Spurgeon had a goal and an assist each and Devan Dubnyk had 30 saves for Minnesota. The Wild had their three-game winning streak snapped.

Red Wings 3, Bruins 1 Andreas Athanasiou

scored two third-period goals as host Detroit ended Boston’s six-game winning streak.

Athanasiou hadn’t scored since a two-goal game on Nov. 16. Brendan Perlini scored his first goal of the season for Detroit, which had gone 1-9-1 in its previous 11 games.

Jonathan Bernier made 39 saves for the Wings, who have the league’s worst record but have two victories over Boston this season.

Torey Krug scored his eighth goal of the season for the Atlantic Divisionleading Bruins. Tuukka Rask made 17 saves for Boston, which was playing the second end of a backto-back after defeating Arizona on Saturday afternoon.

Ducks 3, Sabres 2 Jakob Silfverberg, captain Ryan Getzlaf and Nick Ritchie scored in the first 12 minutes as visiting Anaheim held on for the win against Buffalo.

Ryan Miller made 31 saves for the Ducks, who finished with a 3-0-2 record on their five-game road trip.

Johan Larsson and defenseman Rasmus Dahlin each scored, and Jonas Johansson made 25 saves in his second career start for the Sabres. Johansson was starting in place of Carter Hutton, who missed the game because of an illness in his family.

Jets 5, Blackhawks 2 Andrew Copp tallied a goal and an assist – including the game-winning goal at 13:27 of the third period – to back a 24-save effort from goaltender Connor Hellebuyck and lead host Winnipeg past Chicago.

Bryant leaving the hotel gym in a full sweat.

“Did you sleep,” I asked him.

“I don’t need sleep,” he said.

The Lakers clinched the championship that night, and at the team’s after-party at the hotel, Bryant celebrated with his wife Vanessa, and his daughters Natalia and Gianna while wearing the same champagne-soaked uniform he had at the arena.

Prior to a game in Sacramento on April 23, 2011, a man and his 13-year-old daughter walked up to Bryant and asked for a picture.

“I’m Rudy Ruettiger and this is my daughter Jessica Ruettiger,” the man said. “She’s singing the national anthem before the game.

“Rudy?” Bryant said as a smile came over his face. “The movie?”

“Yeah,” Ruettiger said.

“That movie changed my life,” Bryant said.

Bryant was a sophomore at Lower Merion High near Philadelphia when he first saw the movie “Rudy” in 1993. He would see it at least a handful of times in theaters and, by his

estimation, “a hundred” times on tape. Bryant said the film motivated him to work harder than he ever had before.

“When I saw it, I told myself if I can play as hard as Rudy with the talent I have, anything’s possible,” Bryant said. “I’ve met a lot of people in my life, but that one there, man, that one ... me up.”

As Ruettiger walked away after they took a picture together, Bryant turned to a Lakers staffer who had just walked onto the court and pointed to Ruettiger.

“You want to meet the person who’s had the biggest influence on my life?” Bryant said.

“That’s Rudy. The real Rudy Ruettiger.”

No athlete was more fun to cover than Bryant at the end of his career. While the Lakers struggled on the court and he struggled to come back from various injuries, Bryant’s media sessions became the highlight of covering the team.

Prior to a preseason game against Portland in Ontario on Oct. 10, 2012, Bryant was reminiscing about the 2006 and 2007 teams he carried to the playoffs.

“I almost won an MVP with Smush Parker and Kwame Brown on my team,” he said.

“Smush Parker was the worst. He shouldn’t have been in the NBA, but we were too cheap to pay for a point guard. We let him walk on.”

“I was shooting 45 times a game. What was I supposed to do? Pass it into Chris Mihm and Kwame Brown?”

One of the more amusing Bryant stories actually didn’t involve him. On Christmas Day in 2014, a Bryant fan drove to Temecula to fight a Bryant hater in one of the more entertaining exchanges on Twitter. A couple of days later, I showed Bryant the tweets and he just laughed.

“Mamba army don’t ... around,” he said.

“They take after their captain.”

Bryant was infamously hard on his teammates during practices when they weren’t playing up to his expectations, and one of the few times I saw that in person was during a scrimmage on Dec. 11, 2014. Bryant was loudly cursing and telling the team they were “soft as Charmin.”

During that practice Nick Young told Bryant, “Nobody in the world can guard me one-onone.”

When I asked Bryant about Young’s comment, he smiled and said, “Thank God, I’m not from this world.”

NBA roundup: Bogdanovic buzzer beater lifts Jazz Field Level Media

Bojan Bogdanovic hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to lift the Utah Jazz to a 114113 victory over the host Houston Rockets on Sunday.

Bogdanovic had just two field goals and eight points for the night, 13 below his season average. But Utah executed the final inbound play to perfection, with Bogdanovic making a 28-footer over James Harden and P.J. Tucker, the final clutch 3 in a sequence of them down the stretch.

Harden registered a triple-double (28 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) with his pass to Robert Covington, whose 3-pointer with 28 seconds left gave the Rockets a 110-109 advantage.

Jordan Clarkson paced the Jazz with 30 points off the bench while Mitchell added 24 and six assists. Rudy Gobert had 12 points and 15 rebounds. Russell Westbrook led the Rockets with 39 points. After a hot start from the perimeter, Houston shot just 10 of 33 from behind the arc over the final three periods.

Hawks 140, Knicks 135 Trae Young scored 11 of his 48 points in the second overtime as Atlanta held on to defeat visiting New York.

John Collins added 32 points and 16 rebounds for the Hawks. DeAndre Hunter added 19 points, including a crucial 3-pointer in the second overtime.

New York saw its four-game winning streak end despite getting 35 points and 18 rebounds from Julius Randle. Reggie Bullock added 21 points and Mitchell Robinson had 15 points and 11 rebounds.

Celtics 112, Thunder 111 Kemba Walker scored 27 points to help Boston to a road win over Oklahoma City.

Walker hit a pair of crucial 3-pointers late to seal the victory for Boston, which won its seventh straight. The Celtics have won 10 of their past 11 games.

It was just Oklahoma City’s second loss in 11 games.

76ers 118, Bulls 111 Furkan Korkmaz scored 31 points to carry host Philadelphia past Chicago.

Joel Embiid added 28 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and four blocked shots for his 30th double-double this season while Ben Simmons had 19 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds for his fifth triple-double. Tobias Harris contributed 14 points for the Sixers, who improved to 24-2 at home.

Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 32 points while Luke Kornet added a career-high 25. Cristiano Felicio had 13

Grizzlies 106, Wizards 99 Ja Morant recorded his first career triple-double with 27 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds as visiting Memphis rallied late to defeat Washington in the nation’s capital.

Kyle Anderson added 16 for Memphis while Jonas Valanciunas had eight points and 18 rebounds. Jaren Jackson Jr. posted a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds, with Tyus Jones adding 13 points off the bench for Memphis.

Bradley Beal led Washington with 26 points. Beal has been a force throughout the season but especially in recent games – since being snubbed for the Eastern Conference All-Star Game. Mo Wagner scored 19 off the bench for the Wizards, with Davis Bertans adding 15 and Hachimura 12.

Clippers 133, Cavaliers 92 Lou Williams scored 25 points and Paul George 22 as Los Angeles rebounded from a demoralizing defeat one night earlier for an easy road victory over Cleveland.

Marcus Morris Sr. had 10 points in his Clippers debut as Los Angeles distanced itself from a surprising 27-point defeat

against Minnesota on Saturday. The Clippers won without Kawhi Leonard, who received a day of rest on the second night of a back-to-back scenario.

Andre Drummond scored 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in his Cavaliers debut, while Kevin Porter Jr. added 17 points for Cleveland. The Cavaliers saw their losing streak extend to six games while also falling for the 13th time in their past 14 contests.

Gary Trent Jr. contributed 22 points and four steals off the bench, and Trevor Ariza scored 19 of his 21 points in the first half as the Trail Blazers won for the seventh time in the past 10 games. Carmelo Anthony scored 15 points, CJ McCollum added 13 and Hassan Whiteside had 11 points, 17 rebounds and four blocked shots.

Campbell’s teammate, Colby Lord, captured a title in the 182-pound weight class by pinning Ravena’s Ricky Hernandez in 4:32.

In all, Coxsackie-Athens had 10 wrestlers place in the top four, all of which will be competing at the State Qualifier.

To top the night off, Coxsackie-Athens was named the Section II Class C runner-up, finishing the tournament with the second most team points (187.5). This was the best finish in program history. Tamarac finished first in the team standings with 231.5 points.

Three Ichabod Crane wrestlers earned Section II titles.

Jair Gomez pinned Trevor Bishop of Tamarac in 1:31 to take the 99-pound class, Jerald Rhoades decisioned Anthony Delmonico of Watervliet (85) in the 138-pound class and Connor Pesce pinned Matt O’Connor of Ravena in 4:32 in the 285-pound class.

Stenhouse is in new territory — a surprising turn of events given the turmoil he experienced last fall.

The 32-year-old from Memphis, Tenn., was unceremoniously dropped by Roush Racing in September, fewer than two months after Stenhouse had signed a contract extension through 2021. Rousch replaced Stenhouse with Chris Buescher, exercising an option

prospect Luke Raley, whom the Dodgers drafted in 2016 and traded to the Twins in 2018.

Both transactions are pending medical reviews.

Graterol, 21, underwent Tommy John surgery in 2015 and missed two months last season with a shoulder impingement. The Red Sox had planned to use him as a starter, but concluded he was better suited as a reliever after reviewing his records. The Dodgers apparently thought differently of Graterol’s health record, or are at least fine with his 101mph fastball coming out of their bullpen.

The original three-team swap sent shockwaves from

earned a major decision over Omar Martinez of Ichabod Crane (11-0) at 106 pounds and Aidan posted a major decision over Patrick Moore of Watervliet (10-0) at 132 pounds.

In Class D, Maple Hill’s Caleb Svingala took the title at 126 pounds and remains unbeaten and unscored upon this season, pinning Warrensburg’s Dylan Winchell in :55 in the finals.

in their contract with Buescher and leaving Stenhouse without a team.

Roush president Steve Newmark, said his relationship with Stenhouse had “run its course” after 10 years together.

After winning the pole, the third in his career, Stenhouse said, “I feel like I can still get the job done behind the wheel and win races.”

He added, “I think this is just signs of things to come, of our speed that we’re going to have with our 47 team.”

Stenhouse’s two wins in the Cup Series both came in 2017 on superspeedways, during the

Talladega 500 and Coke Zero Sugar 400 that July at Daytona.

He finished 13th in the 2019 Daytona 500, his highest finish he came in seventh in 2014.

Stenhouse hopes the speed his car displayed Sunday is a harbinger, similar to his breakthrough win at Talladega. Nine pole-sitter have gone on to win the Daytona 500, most of any starting position.

“I noticed we qualified on the pole at Talladega. The car was really fast,” Stenhouse recalled.

“I felt like it was easier for me to make moves knowing that I felt like I had enough speed to pull out of line and get the job done.

coast to coast, exciting people in Los Angeles while peeving Boston’s rabid fan base weeks after manager Alex Cora was forced to step down as part of the fallout from the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal.

The situation took a strange turn Wednesday when word surfaced that the Red Sox were backing out of the original transaction. By Friday, the delay had peeved Scott Boras, Graterol’s agent, and MLBPA executive director Tony Clark enough that they publicly denounced the situation. Boras defended his client’s health.

Clark lambasted the process in a statement.

“The proposed trades between the Dodgers, Red Sox, Twins and Angels need to be resolved without further delay,” Clark said. “The events of this last week have unfairly put several players’ lives in a state

of limbo. The unethical leaking of medical information as well as the perversion of the salary arbitration process serve as continued reminders that too often players are treated as commodities by those running the game.”

The episode’s delayed completion registers as a loud, if strange, finale to the offseason for the Dodgers after they whiffed in previous attempts to land an elite player.

They managed to acquire Betts, perhaps the best player in baseball not named Mike Trout, without giving up one of their top prospects, but relinquished more than in the initial deal.

Verdugo was the centerpiece all along. A former top prospect, the 23-year-old outfielder enjoyed some success in his first full major-league season in 2019, batting .294 with 12 home runs and 22 doubles

That to me is all that really matters is I know what our car is capable of speed-wise, and that helps me make moves.”

Stenhouse’s performance during qualifying Sunday ended a streak of five straight poles for drivers with Hendrick Motorsports, but still continued the dominance to Chevrolets and Hendrick engines.

“It’s something that you don’t really think about when Mr. Hendrick shows up in Victory Lane knowing that we’re running his engine package,” Stenhouse said.

Dating to 2013, when Danica Patrick became the first woman

to win the Daytona 500 pole, Chevys have earn the top spot for the Great American Race.

“It’s cool to keep the streak,” Stenhouse said.

While Hendrick Motorsports did not earn the pole, one of the sport’s top teams did not take a backseat to the rest of the field.

Chase Elliott, the pole-sitter in 2016 and 2017, and Jimmie Johnson, a two-time winner of the sport’s premier event, had the third and fourth best times, respectively. Defending champion Denny Hamlin was fifth and reigning Cup Series champion Kyle Busch sixth — each driving Toyotas.

“We brought four really good race cars, obviously Hendrick engines and the 47, as well,” Bowman said. “Proud of all those guys. I think we’re going to have a great race car in the race.”

Meanwhile, two guaranteed positions in the field were up for grabs among the seven cars without a charter. Veteran Brendan Gaughan, racing in his final Daytona 500, earned a spot along with reigning Coke Zero Sugar 400 winner Justin Haley.

while providing plus defense at all three outfield positions. But he arrived in Los Angeles with makeup concerns and ended the season on the injured list with oblique and back injuries.

Downs, 21, was traded to the Dodgers in the deal that sent veteran outfielders Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig to Cincinnati after the 2018 season. Ranked the organization’s sixth-best prospect by Baseball America, Downs batted .269 with 19 home runs, 23 steals, and an .862 on-base-plus-slugging percentage for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga. He closed the season with a 12-game stint at double-A Tulsa, where he hit .333 with five homers and 11 RBIs. The 23-year-old Wong is regarded as the Dodgers’ fourthbest catching prospect behind Will Smith, Keibert Ruiz, and Diego Cartaya, though he’s also played other positions. He

batted .281 with 24 home runs and an .878 OPS in 11 games between Rancho Cucamonga and Tulsa last season.

Meanwhile, the 27-year-old Betts is a bona fide superstar in his prime. A four-time Allstar, he won the 2018 American League MVP after batting .346 with a 1.078 on-base-plus-slugging percentage and 32 home runs as the Red Sox toppled the Dodgers to win the World Series. Last season, he hit .295 with 29 home runs and a .915 OPS. His 17.0 WAR over the last two years is second only to Trout’s 18.4.

Betts will slot in atop the batting order to upgrade an already potent offense. Widely considered the best right fielder in the sport, he will stand next to center fielder Cody Bellinger, giving the Dodgers a superb defensive outfield.

He will enter free agency next

winter — part of the reason the Red Sox traded him was they believed they didn’t have a chance to keep him — but the Dodgers have the means to pay him and are intent on extending the marriage. He is expected to garner a contract close to the 12-year, $430 million deal Trout secured with the Angels.

Price isn’t the elite pitcher he was a few years ago but he also isn’t just a bridge to Betts.

If healthy, the 34-year-old Price can bolster a rotation that lost fellow left-handers Hyun-Jin Ryu and Rich Hill in free agency.

The 2012 American League Cy Young Award winner, Price posted a 3.84 earned-run average in four seasons with the Red Sox. A move to the National League West, a division with more spacious parks in the league without a designated hitter, could boost his effectiveness.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home.

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner's distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

With so many products on the market, are baseball cards headed for another collapse?

Jeff Wilson Fort Worth Star-Telegram

ARLINGTON, Texas — A trip to the local baseball-card store can make a novice collector’s head spin.

Topps, and its various brands, continue to top the market, but Irving-based Panini, with the rekindled Donruss brand in its stable, has added variety to the market.

Upper Deck is still hanging around, though not in baseball.

The other three major sports are well represented in the hobby, too.

That might make it seem like the industry is in position for another fall akin to the collapse of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

David Leiner, the global general manager of sports and entertainment for Topps, said that just isn’t the case.

He was at AT&T Stadium on Tuesday as Topps hosted the Million Card Rip Party to launch their 2020 Series 1 Collection. The idea was that 19 teams — called case breakers — would open cases of packs of cards until a million cards were opened.

They reached 1,002,456 cards from more than 21,000 jumbo packs.

It was sign that the hobby is doing just fine.

Leiner talked about the health of collecting as packs were being ripped.

• How is the industry faring?

I’ve been working at Topps for the past 10 years and in and around the business since I was a kid.

In terms of the business of collecting, this is probably the strongest we’ve seen the business in at least 20 years, and that’s across all sports. The entertainment business is strong, and the baseball business is just absolutely on fire.

What’s interesting, too, is that we’re seeing growth across all of our channels. We’re seeing growth in our hobby stores. Brick-and-mortar hobby is strong. We’re seeing growth in our mass retail. Target, Wal-Mart are both growing at a 25%, 30% clip. And we’re seeing our dot.com business.

A few years ago we really made a push on the dot.com side, and our hobby stores were concerned. “Oh, is this going to take from our sales?”

ERIN CADIGAN/DREAMSTIME

Baseball card production runs are no where close to where they were in the ‘80s and ‘90s, says David Leiner, the global general manager of sports and entertainment for Topps.

What we’ve seen is new collectors are coming into the hobby. Whether through Topps.com or they come in through Wal-Mart or Target or a hobby store, once you get them in and they find a way to collect, they’re going to find a hobby store.

It’s all about getting people into the hobby.

• So, you’re not over-saturated despite all these different products?

There are a lot of different product lines, and

some people do ask about that saturation. The late ‘80s and early ‘90s, what’s considered the “junk wax era,” some folks are concerned, “Are we entering that again?” No, we absolutely are not. The production runs are no where close to where they were in the ‘80s and ‘90s.

The reason you see a wide breadth of products in the Topps portfolio for baseball, we have products at the entry level, 99 cents for the Opening

Day product. We have products like Transcendent at the higher end that retail for $25,000 a box, and many different things in between.

Baseball also is one of the few sports that has such a rich history, so we can tap into 150 years of baseball. We can tap into a minor-league system.

The Bowman brand highlights prospects, draft picks, etc. No other sport can do that.

• How strong is the vintage market and what effect has grading had?

The vintage market, I think that also is helping drive the new card market. If you bought any 1950s or ‘60s card 10 years ago, you’re making money and doing well for yourself. Grading commoditizes a bit. If you’re buying ‘52 Topps Mantle PSA 4 or a PSA 5, it’s commoditized and added some authenticity.

But, for the most part, it helps collectors know how to buy and what to buy. Vintage, I personally wish I had bought anything. I can’t think of anything that would have been a better investment than vintage trading card. Name any metric on any stock market,vintage trading cards, unbelievable.

• What’s the biggest challenge facing the industry right now?

To me, it’s not even about saturation. It’s demand. We’re way under-supplying the demand right now. A lot of people ask me about collectibles and Topps and how we see the business. I boil it down, it’s very simple: Collectibles are collectible if demand is higher than supply. You want to keep that gap somewhat tight. You don’t supply to exceed demand, or things go in the tank. You want to keep things in a tight range.

What I don’t like to see is, what put a SRP (suggested retail price) on a product, and I don’t like see it sell three times on the business-to-business marketplace. We’re seeing that today. We have products coming out for $4 a pack that immediately are selling on a B2B market at $10 a pack and to a consumer for $15. That’s not healthy, either.

So, actually, I would say the biggest thing we’re facing is supply. We can not supply enough product to meet the demand. I never thought I’d hear myself saying that. It’s a unique problem to have, but we have so many new consumers coming into the hobby.

XFL roundup: McGloin gets Gladiators past Vipers Field Level Media

BRAD PENNER/USA TODAY

New York Guardians wide receiver Austin Duke (10) runs the ball against Tampa Bay Vipers linebacker Terrance Plummer (41) during Sunday’s XFL game at MetLife Stadium.

Matt McGloin padded for 182 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for a score, as the New York Guardians earned a 23-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Vipers on Sunday at East Rutherford, New Jersey, in the XFL debut for both teams.

Colby Pearson caught a 12-yard TD pass in the second quarter, Matthew McCrane added a 49-yard field goal and Jamar Summers returned a fumble 13 yards for a TD in the fourth quarter at MetLife Stadium, home of the NFL’s New York Jets and New York Giants.

Tampa Bay’s Aaron Murray

passed for 231 yards, but threw two interceptions, while Vipers running back De’Veon Smith had 79 yards on 16 carries.

The Vipers had 394 yards of total offense, to 226 for the Gladiators, but were unable to find the end zone.

BattleHawks 15, Renegades 9 Jordan Ta’amu threw for 209 yards and one touchdown and Matt Jones ran for 85 yards as St. Louis kicked off its XFL season with a victory over Dallas in Arlington, Texas.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Renegades got on the board first with a 32-yard field goal from Austin MacGinnis after Johnathan Calvin recovered

running back Christine Michael’s fumble near the end of the first quarter. MacGinnis later kicked field goals of 42 and 23 to give Dallas a 9-6 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Keith Ford scored St. Louis’ first touchdown with a 16-yard dash around right end in the second quarter and the BattleHawks didn’t score again until Ta’amu’s 9-yard touchdown pass to Alonzo Russell in the fourth.

Philip Nelson threw for 209 yards with one interception for the Renegades, who were outgained 374 to 267. Dallas could only muster 58 yards rushing compared with 191 for St. Louis.

Brother’s temper makes get-togethers tense Dear Abby, A year ago, my brother “Leon” had a nervous breakdown at work due to a co-worker constantly harassing him. He’s currently under the care of a therapist through his workplace and has not worked for a year.

DEAR ABBY Recently, at a family get-together, I asked him a question about his current situation. He became angry and very emotional. He accused me of “not listening” and went through the process of re-describing in detail how the co-worker harassed him. He then became confrontational, as if I were on trial. His adult daughter kept her head down, until she finally told her father that I only asked him the question because I loved him and was concerned for him. My niece and her sister both tried to deescalate the situation, but were unsuccessful.

After he was done with his tirade, he proceeded to harass and belittle ME! At that point, I got up and told my husband privately that I wanted to leave, which we did. This isn’t the first time my brother has behaved this way at a family gettogether. He acted out toward family members long before the incident at his workplace.

I enjoy being with my family, but Leon has made it unpleasant for me. How do I handle this in the future and still have fun with my family?

currently serving a life sentence in prison.

Abby, my niece has some issues. Her parents caught her sexting twice that I know of and took her phone away for a period of time. She was also accused of touching her 8-year-old niece and was ordered to knock it off.

She told me she showers with her mother and asked to shower with me. When I refused, she became abusive. When I tried to tell my brother she needs professional help, he told me to mind my own business.

If I report this, I risk never seeing anyone in my family again, but I love my niece and I’m afraid for her. I’m afraid Mom needs help as much as my niece. Why won’t they get her help?

Desperately needs help They won’t get help because it appears that in their lives inappropriate sexual behavior may have become an ingrained family affair. You are right that the mother needs as much help as your niece, and your brother should not be covering for his wife. You should report what’s going on to child protective services. While you probably won’t be thanked for it, you may be able to interrupt the cycle of incest and molestation.

It appears your brother is not progressing well with his therapy, which is sad not only for him but also anyone who has to interact with him.

Because you are no longer willing to tolerate his abuse, a logical answer would be to see your relatives in situations where he isn’t included.

Consider doing some entertaining on your own, because in that way, you can control the guest list.

Dear Abby, I have many older friends, and when we go out for lunch or dinner, all they talk about is their aches and pains and other medical stuff.

I will always be their friend and support them, but sometimes it’s such a downer, they even get depressed listening to each other.

What’s the best way to change the conversation to happy subjects while being sensitive at the same time?

Happy subjects only

Dear Abby, I recently moved to Texas and met my teenage niece for the first time. After I got there I learned she had been molested by her mother’s father at the age of 3. He had also molested her mother when she was a child. “Grandpa” is

Older people sometimes dwell on their aches, pains and other medical stuff because they have little else to occupy their minds. If you are sensitive, you will listen sympathetically for a period of time, then propose you all change the subject to something more upbeat

Highly contagious tuberculosis still a threat worldwide I recently read that tuberculosis kills more people than any other infectious illness. Can people who have no symptoms spread this disease?

Tuberculosis, an ancient disease, is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It infects TO YOUR 10 million people per year and GOOD HEALTH kills 1.5 million people yearly worldwide, mostly in Africa and India. This is more than malaria and HIV combined. Although tuberculosis was the cause of death for 1 in 7 people during the 19th century in Europe and the U.S., there were only 9,000 cases of TB and 500 deaths in the U.S. in 2017.

Most cases of tuberculosis are spread person-to-person, with the primary route being inhalation of the bacteria a person has coughed.

Household contacts of an infected person are at the highest risk of acquiring tuberculosis; if infected, 90% to 95% of those will successfully control the bacteria and enter a latent phase of infection, which has no symptoms. However, in 5% to 10% of those people, the bacteria will

DR. KEITH ROACH

become active and cause clinical infection.

Cough, fever, night sweats and weight loss are classic symptoms of active tuberculosis infection. Reactivation of tuberculosis is most likely to happen in the first two to three years after exposure, but may also happen if a person’s immune system becomes weakened due to serious illness or medication that suppresses it.

Only people with active tuberculosis infection can spread the disease. Latent disease cannot be spread. Cough is the most effective means of expelling tuberculosis, but recent research suggests cough is not necessary for tuberculosis to spread. Quick identification and quarantine of people with tuberculosis and rapid treatment are the keys to preventing its spread. Since tuberculosis is much less common than in the past, physicians need to be aware that this disease is still prevalent, and we need to be diligent about considering the diagnosis.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are one of those individuals who seems to be around all the time — here, there and everywhere — eager to take part in all that is going on, whether directly or indirectly.

Indeed, when you sense that others are having fun, you certainly want to be included, and you will often simply barge in and proclaim that you, too, want to be doing what everyone else is doing.

You are likely quite attractive, both in physical appearance and personality, but there is something about you that some people may find rather off-putting. Fortunately, you do not give this much thought, for until someone can put into words what he or she is feeling, you believe that it is none of your business!

Also born on this date are: Taylor Lautner, actor; Jennifer Aniston, actress; Brandy, singer; Thomas Alva Edison, inventor; Sheryl Crow, singer and songwriter; Burt Reynolds, actor; Sidney Sheldon, author and TV writer.

all that is coming your way? Today you’ll want to prepare yourself by examining how other people have managed in the past.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You must not reveal your true feelings today until you know you are among friends. Then you can let loose and know you’ll be taken care of.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You must be willing to stand up to someone who challenges your principles at this time. Much will be made of this encounter by several onlookers.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You’ll receive news that puts you at ease — and then a piece of random information that makes you wonder if you’ve misinterpreted things.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You mustn’t leave tomorrow up to anyone else; it’s up to you and you alone to chart your path — and you must begin today. Overlook no opportunity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — No good deed will go unacknowledged today, provided your timing is right. There is a chance that someone will give your reputation a boost.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You have a choice today: You can do something the traditional way, or you can try something entirely new. The decision is not an easy one.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You are worried that it will not be easy to stop something once you get it started — but the real danger is that you won’t get started at all.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your support of another may be criticized by those who do not understand what’s really going on. You’re confident good things will result.
