ALBANY — A Greene County man admitted on Tuesday that he attempted to coerce and entice a 14-year-old child to engage in sexual acts with him, said United States Attorney Carla B. Freed-man.

Thomas “Tommy” Squires, 37, of Cairo, pleaded guilty in U.S District Court in Albany, Freedman said.

As part of his guilty plea, Squires ad-mitted that between July and August of 2020, he sent graphic, sexually explicit text messages to an undercover investi-gator who was posing as the 14-year-old child.

In those messages, Squires repeated-ly asked the child for naked photos and sent photos of his genitalia to the child, Freedman said.

Squires further asked to meet the child in person at a location in Cairo in order to engage in sexual acts with the child in his car.

On Aug. 19, 2020, Squires trav-eled from his home in Cairo to the

pre-determined location to meet and have sex with the child. Squires was met by law enforcement upon his arrival and arrested, Freedman said.

Squires has been detained since his arrest.

Following his guilty plea, Squires faces at least 10 years and up to life in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and a term of post-imprisonment supervised release of at least five years and up to

life, Freedman said.Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 12,

in Albany before U.S. District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino.

A defendant’s sentence is imposed by a judge based on the statute the de-fendant is charged with violating, U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other fac-tors. Squires will also have to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison, Freedman said.

The case was investigated by the FBI and its Child Exploitation Task Force, which includes members of federal, state and local law enforcement agen-cies. The case was prosecuted by As-sistant United States Attorney Rachel L. Williams as part of Project Safe Child-hood, Freedman said.

The announcement was made Tues-day by U.S Attorney Carla B. Freedman and Janeen DiGuiseppi, Special Agent in Charge of the Albany Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Launched in May 2006 by the De-partment of Justice, Project Safe Child-hood is led by United States Attorney’s offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Sec-tion. Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to bet-ter locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

COXSACKIE — Village Mayor Mark Ev-ans announced Monday that the lawsuit filed by United Mobile Homes against the village of Coxsackie has been settled, clearing the way for the company to pro-ceed with the project on Van Dyke Street and the Schoenborn property.

In an effort to resolve an otherwise costly and protracted litigation, UMH Properties, Inc., and the village of Cox-sackie agreed to the settlement, the vil-lage said.

UMH and the village consented with the decision to settle. A consent decree was drafted and the terms agreed upon

included a settlement payment by the vil-lage UMH.

United Mobile Homes was awarded $275,000. According to the Village Clerk’s office, when the lawsuit was initially filed in 2018, the village of Coxsackie submit-ted it as an insurance claim. The $275,000 was paid by the village’s insurance.

UMH has submitted an application for a portion of the acreage zoned as the town of Coxsackie to be annexed by the village of Coxsackie. Nothing can proceed until this is determined.

In accordance with the state Depart-ment of Environmental Conservation and the state environmental quality re-view, the village will review any potential

impacts to the environment, endangered and threatened species, including habitat impacts.

United Mobile Homes began purchas-ing parcels of land surrounding the initial 180 acres intended for Mountainview Es-tates. Most of the 180 acres are wetlands, which means UMH must ensure mitiga-tion with the Department of Environ-mental Conservation.

United Mobile Homes filed paperwork in 2018 to begin a lawsuit against the vil-lage of Coxsackie after the board voted to restrict mobile home development.

NEW BALTIMORE — State Assembly primary elections will take place June 28 as scheduled after the New York State Court of Appeals de-clined to take up the appeal case of New Baltimore attor-ney and child advocate Gary Greenberg, who sought to de-lay the primaries until August.

On June 10, a five-judge panel in the State Appellate Court sided with Greenberg and fellow plaintiffs Paul Nichols and Gavin Wax that the state Assembly redistrict-ing maps drawn by the state Legislature in February were unconstitutional and must be redrawn ahead of the 2024 election cycle.

The court also ruled that while the maps are uncon-stitutional, there was not an adequate amount of time re-maining before the June 28 primaries to change the date.

The petitioners subse-quently filed an appeal to move the primary date from June 28 to Aug. 23 to align with the state Senate and congres-sional primary elections.

On Tuesday, the Appellate Division remanded the case back to Supreme Court Judge Laurence Love to identify a remedy for the unconstitu-tional assembly lines.

Love previously denied the plaintiffs’ original lawsuit in State Supreme Court of New York County.

Greenberg said he was dis-appointed that the 2022 pri-maries would be contested with unconstitutional maps.

“This isn’t democracy to reward legislators’ ill inten-tions,” he said. “We will elect state Assembly members from unconstitutional districts in

Albany attorney David Engle served a Notice of Claim, or a legal prerequisite to a lawsuit, to the village board for damag-es accusing the village board of taking improper action re-garding UMH’s applications to build a manufactured home park on 110 acres at 25 Van Dyke St. to be named Mounta-inview Estates.

The board failed to act on the application, ignored re-quests for UMH to be heard and changed the law in an im-permissible fashion to deprive the company the full use of its 110-acre property, which caused the company to incur substantive costs, according to the claim.

UMH Coxsackie is a subsid-iary of UMH Properties, which owns and operates 112 manu-factured home parks in eight states.

The approximate value of the claim filed in 2018 was $3 million. The amount was based on the money UMH in-vested in the project, includ-ing purchasing the property in 2005, engineering and design services and a plan to protect the area’s endangered owls and wetlands, according to Engle.

Sparring between UMH and the Coxsackie Village Board of Trustees began in 2006 when the village imposed a building

moratorium after UMH pro-posed constructing 260 manu-factured homes.

In 2009, the state Depart-ment of Environmental Con-servation issued a sewage connection moratorium after the village was found to be dumping more than the allow-able discharge from sewer and wastewater treatment plants into the Hudson River, ac-cording to the claim.

In 2015, UMH filed anoth-er building application that

included a wastewater treat-ment plan in compliance with a waiver provision for sewer use, according to the claim. The village board denied the application in 2016. At that time, trustees said UMH did not submit wastewater treat-ment plans in the application, according to the claim.

UMH submitted another application in 2017 to build a smaller 161-unit manufac-tured home park after Ev-ans said the village received

financing to upgrade the wastewater treatment plant to be in compliance with Depart-ment of Environmental Con-servation codes, which would be completed by 2020.

The village board voted 4-1 to approve a local law to reg-ulate the location, develop-ment and operation of mobile home parks in the village. The law would have forced UMH to reduce its plan to build 160 homes on 47 acres to 80 homes on 110 acres.

2022 and many candidates gained access to the ballot with signatures from uncon-stitutional districts. It’s an em-barrassing and sad day for the people of New York State.”

The plaintiffs are calling on the judge to hire Jonathan Cervas to redraw the Assembly maps. Cervas was tasked this spring with reconfiguring con-gressional and state Senate maps after those districts were deemed unconstitutional in court.

“We call on Speaker Carl Heastie, Majority Leader An-drea Stewart-Cousins and Gov. Kathy Hochul to take immediate action to prevent

an election that will damage the rule of law and state con-stitution in New York by using unconstitutional lines for the Assembly, state Senate and Congress,” Greenberg said. “Each legislator failed in their oath taken to protect our state constitution.”

Incumbent Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-Schoharie, is slated to face off against Dem-ocratic challenger Nicholas Chase in the Nov. 8 general election for the 102nd Assem-bly District, which comprises all of Greene and Schoharie counties and portions of Al-bany and Ulster counties.

Greenberg said he will con-tinue the fight to have the un-constitutional Assembly maps scrapped as expeditiously as possible.

“We will exhaust every

possible option to ensure New Yorkers vote in free and fair elections,” Greenberg said. “It’s deeply regrettable that even one election must be held with unconstitutional lines in place. Democratic in-stitutions are under assault and New York must lead by example. We press on before Justice Love to rid New York of this unconstitutional map at the earliest date possible.”

María Luisa PaúlThe Washington Post

At a North Carolina charter school, all students follow the same curriculum. But their gender-specific uniform requirements - pants for boys, and skirts, skorts or jump-ers for girls - separate them in a way a federal court on Tuesday deemed unconstitution-al.

The dress code at Charter Day School in Leland, N.C., no longer can be enforced, Se-nior Circuit Judge Barbara Milano Keenan wrote in a majority opinion. The school founder’s claim that the uniform rules pro-mote chivalry “based on the view that girls are ‘fragile vessels’ deserving of ‘gentle’ treatment by boys” was determined to be discriminating against female students in the 10-6 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit.

“By implementing the skirts requirement based on blatant gender stereotypes about the ‘proper place’ for girls and women in society, [the school] has acted in clear viola-tion of the Equal Protection Clause,” Keen-an wrote in the opinion.

The decision followed a seven-year effort to end the school’s skirt requirement for fe-male students.

In 2015, Keely Burks, then a 14-year-old eighth-grader at Charter Day School, launched a petition with her friends to change the uniform policy. They ultimately

collected more than 100 signatures, she wrote in 2016, but the document “was tak-en from us by a teacher and we never got it back.”

Around the same time, a kindergartner’s mother inquired about the requirement, which she considered to be discrimina-tory. The school’s founder, Baker Mitchell, responded to her email by explaining that Charter Day School was “determined to preserve chivalry and respect among young women and men” and that there was a need to “restore, and then preserve, traditional regard for peers,” according to court docu-ments.

Burks, the kindergartner and a fourth-grader later became plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed in 2016 by the American Civil Liberties Union. They alleged in the suit that being forced to wear skirts prevented them from playing freely, moving actively and feeling as if their comfort was valued as much as that of male students.

“I hope that by challenging my school’s policy, I can help other girls who want to go to school without being stereotyped or who just want to play outside or sit in class with-out feeling uncomfortable,” Burks wrote at the time.

A lengthy court battle followed, in which decisions about the case volleyed between federal and state courts examining whether the dress code infringed on female students’

rights.“No, this is not 1821 or 1921. It’s 2021,”

Keenan, the judge, wrote last summer. “Women serve in combat units of our armed forces. Women walk in space and contribute their talents at the International Space Station. Women serve on our coun-try’s Supreme Court, in Congress, and, to-day, a woman is Vice President of the United States.”

To determine the skirt requirement’s constitutionality, the judges considered whether the charter school was a public en-tity. Charter Day School argued that it was a private entity and that the Constitution’s equal protection clause - which bans dis-crimination - did not apply.

But a majority of the federal appeals court ultimately disagreed. Since the char-ter school receives state funding, the judges wrote, it has to follow the same civil rights laws and protections as public schools, which are prohibited from mandating dress codes that are discriminatory or censor stu-dent expression.

Aaron Streett, a lawyer representing Charter Day School, told The Washington Post that the school is evaluating next steps, adding that the court’s opinion “limits the ability of parents to choose the best educa-tion for their children.”

A school made girls wear skirts. A court ruled it unconstitutional.

CATSKILL — Greene County is preparing to convey 2.2 acres of property located at New York State Thruway Exit 21 to the Greene Local Develop-ment Corporation as part of the planned Exit 21 East Catskill de-velopment.

During the Greene County Legislature’s Economic Devel-opment & Tourism Committee meeting Monday, the commit-tee unanimously approved a motion to set a public hearing on the land deal for July 6. The full Legislature was set to vote on the public hearing resolution on Wednesday evening.

The county previously en-tered into a contract with the New York State Thruway Au-thority to purchase the prop-erty on Route 23B in the town of Catskill for $421,100, with the Thruway Authority Board ap-proving the deal Sept. 27.

The county closed the title and officially acquired the par-cel of land on June 3.

Greene County purchased the property on behalf of the Greene County Industrial De-velopment Agency and has received reimbursement from

the Agency for the full purchase price.

The county will hold a public hearing before conveying the land to the Greene Local Devel-opment Corporation, with the Greene Industrial Development Agency set to develop and mar-ket the Exit 21 East development project.

“The original property is the old hotel that we acquired through back taxes and then we gave the property to the IDA and the IDA tore down the old hotel,” Greene County Admin-istrator Shaun Groden said. “So this property is a rim that goes around that property that was owned by the Thruway

Authority. They don’t have any use for it. So by increasing the size of the lot, we can increase the size of the development on the 21 East site.”

The development project, which encompasses nearly seven acres off Thruway Exit 21, will be the home of a Stewart’s shop and is shovel-ready for ho-tel and restaurant development. The Industrial Development Agency has spent $807,000 to date on the development, with $120,000 in financing pending for a new tourism center om the site.

In 2019, the Industrial De-velopment Agency issued a Request for Proposal for the

expressed purpose of finding qualified developers for the construction and operation of a hotel for the Exit 21 East site.

HUNTER — It took more than six hours for four New York State Forest Rangers to rescue an injured hiker from Central New York in Hunter.

The 65-year-old man from Oneon-ta was not identified by authorities.

Rangers Katherine Fox and John Gullen responded to the Poet’s Ledge Trail in Kaaterskill Wild Forest after they were notified that the hiker had an unstable leg injury, Department of Environmental Conservation spokes-man Jeff Wernick said Wednesday.

The Rangers began hiking and located the man approximately two miles up the trail.

The two splinted the right knee of

the injured hiker, and with the aid of crutches, the Rangers began helping the man down the trail, Wernick said.

After a period, Rangers Anastasia Allwine and Robert Dawson arrived with a litter stretcher to carry the hiker out to their Utility Terrain Vehicle.

After more than six hours, the group reached the trailhead at 11:53 p.m., where the hiker declined further medical attention, Wernick said.

If a person needs a Forest Ranger, whether it’s for a search and rescue, to report a wildfire or to report illegal activity on state lands and easements, they should call 833-NYS-RANGERS. If a person needs urgent assistance, they should call 911.

KINGSTON — Attorney General Letitia James an-nounced major drug and ille-gal weapons bust in Kingston.

James and other govern-ment and law enforcement officials met in Kingston on Wednesday to announce the takedown of a drug trafficking operation that had flooded communities throughout the Hudson Valley and the Capitol region with cocaine, heroine pills, methamphetamine pills and artificial Xanax tablets.

“Throughout New York and across America we are seeing record levels of death from drug overdoses,” James said. “Especially opioids that are tearing our communities apart. The crisis has devastat-ed Ulster and Dutchess Coun-ty, the Hudson Valley and the Capital Region and our entire state. We are also see-ing an alarming raise in gun violence. As members of law enforcement it is our respon-sibility and our mission to do all that we can to protect our communities from these dan-gerous forces that harm our children and our families.”

Ulster County Court un-sealed two indictments Wednesday which alleged 12 individuals had trafficked more than $1.2 million worth of cocaine and thousands of pills throughout Ulster, Dutchess and Saratoga

County, along with illegally possessed firearms, including assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

The alleged illegal pill op-eration was made more dan-gerous because the pills were disguised to look like other pills and substances.

“These pills were marketed on the street as Oxycodone and Adderall,” James said. “And they were made to look exactly like pharmaceutical grade versions of these pre-scription drugs.”

The investigation began in June 2021. It led to the recov-ery of 11 kilograms of cocaine with an approximate street value of $1.2 million; 15,000 methamphetamine pills dis-guised as Adderall pills with an approximate street value of $100,000; 5,000 artificial Xanax pills with an approxi-mate street value of $50,000; 750 heroin pills disguised as oxycodone, with an approxi-mate street value of $20,000; 39 firearms, including four assault weapons; 40 high-ca-pacity magazines; hundreds of rounds of ammunition; and $120,000 in cash.

“This is the incredible work of law enforcement,” state Sen. Michelle Hinchey, D-Saugerties, said. “Our com-munities are under attack, and as we’ve heard here today we know that. But we also know that in the Hudson Val-ley, but especially in Ulster

County, it’s incredibly easy for people to come and prey on us because of our Thruway cor-ridor. It’s the people who are standing here and so many others who are on the front lines of that. This is incredible, incredible work.”

The joint investigation was led by the Office of the Attorney General’s Orga-nized Crime Task Force and involved the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office and the Ulster Regional Gang Enforcement Narcotics Team, with sup-port from the Ulster County District Attorney’s Office, Dutchess County Drug Task Force, Dutchess County Sher-iff’s Office and the New York State Police Special Investiga-tions Unit.

“Ulster County has wit-nessed an increase in drug

use, drug overdoses and gun violence,” Ulster County Sheriff Juan J. Figueroa said. “This case establishes the need of local law enforcement to collaborate with state agen-cies that have the assets and expertise of long-term inves-tigations. The URGENT Task Force, the New York Attorney General’s Office and the Orga-nized Crime Task Force joined forces to take down drug traf-fickers and remove drugs and weapons off the streets. This case is the largest seizure of il-licit drugs in the county’s his-tory.”

The first indictment in-cluded 275 counts for various felony narcotics offenses to 11 of the defendants, in the second indictment, Robert Curry is charged with Crimi-nal Possession of a Controlled

Substance in the First Degree, a class A-I felony, and three counts associated with the possession of cocaine which occurred within the city of Kingston in Ulster County. Those involved in the indict-ment were from; New Paltz, Saugerties, Kingston, Albany, Gansevoort and Wappingers Falls.

“This investigation high-lights the importance of ongo-ing collaboration between law enforcement agencies and us-ing all available resources to hold offenders accountable,” Dutchess County Sheriff Kirk Imperati said. “I want to thank all of the law enforcement partners for their hard work and dedication regarding this investigation to protect Dutchess County communi-ties.”

WASHINGTON — With a shaved head atop a solid slab of a body, Mitch Landrieu is built like a bullet. But an ami-able one, whose happy job is to efficiently dispense $1.2 trillion from a legislative cor-nucopia to the federal agen-cies, governors and mayors. Which is easier said than do-ne.

He was lieutenant governor of a red state, Louisiana, 2004-2010, and mayor of a blue city, New Orleans, 2010-2018, and since November has been President Joe Biden’s choice to oversee implementation of the infrastructure legisla-tion. Landrieu became mayor with much post-Katrina re-construction remaining to be done. And Biden knows that after the 2008-2009 recession, President Barack Obama concluded that the stimulus funding for “shovel-ready” in-frastructure projects proved that “there’s no such thing”: His projects had to surmount nearly 200,000 environmental approvals. Lawyer-ready, not shovel-ready.

Two months ago, Georgia celebrated the completion of an almost $1 billion infra-structure project, the deepen-ing of the 38-mile Savannah River channel through which container ships, the symbols and enablers of globalization, approach the nation’s third-busiest port. The five-foot deepening involved not some recondite engineering chal-lenge; essentially it required moving muck. And it took al-most seven years — after 14 years consumed surmount-ing environmental and other regulatory hurdles.

Time was, the nation did things quicker. Beginning in 1930, it built the Empire State Building, then the world’s tallest building, from a hole in the ground to its topping off, in 410 days. It built the Pentagon, the world’s largest low-rise office building, in 16 months - during World War II. That was then. This is now:

Nine years of permitting processes, 2003-2012, were required before the construc-tion of a San Diego desalina-tion plant. Philip K. Howard,

a Manhattan attorney (Cov-ington & Burling) and stu-dent of coagulated govern-ment, notes that five years and 20,000 pages of environ-mental and other compli-ance materials (there were 47 permits from 19 federal, state and local agencies) preceded the project of raising the road-way on New Jersey’s Bayonne Bridge, which involved no se-rious environmental impact because it used existing foun-dations.

“Everything,” Landrieu ac-knowledges, “is a slog.” In his first six months on his current job, he pushed $110 billion “out the door.” About half of the $1.2 trillion will fund what most people think of as infra-structure — roads, bridges, airports, ports. The other half will fund infrastructure capa-ciously defined — expanded access to high-speed internet, cleaning the Great Lakes, the Everglades and other waters, installing 500,000 electric ve-hicle charging stations (about 10% of what will be needed, Landrieu says), etc.

The word “infrastructure,” denoting shiny new things ev-eryone can see and use, polls well, so the phrase “human infrastructure” was coined to give momentum to social programs. Landrieu, how-ever, defends at least some of this semantic legerdemain. Unemployment is low, work-ers are scarce, and so federal spending for day care is in-frastructure at one remove because it gets more women into the workforce.

Commentator Ezra Klein, arguing that America needs “a liberalism that builds,” says the nation “is notable for how much we spend and how little

we get.” This tendency will be made worse by Biden’s “buy American” policy. His liberal industrial policy will make the $1.2 trillion buy fewer construction materials: The Peterson Institute for Interna-tional Economics estimates that buy American require-ments probably cost taxpay-ers more than $250,000 for every job supposedly saved, and the Heritage Foundation cites a report that “deregulat-ing procurement” would add 363,000 jobs.

Klein says Japan, Canada and Germany build a kilo-meter of rail for $170 million, $254 million and $287 mil-lion, respectively. The United States: $538 million. “The problem,” he says, “isn’t gov-ernment. It’s our government . . . Government isn’t intrinsi-cally inefficient. It has been made inefficient.”

But perhaps the U.S. gov-ernment is unusually sus-ceptible to being made so because of what University of Michigan law professor Nicholas Bagley calls “the procedure fetish.” (“Inflexible procedural rules are a hall-mark of the American state.”) The result is what Howard calls “rule stupor.” All this is made in America by a home-grown chimera: the progres-sive aspiration to reduce gov-ernment to the mechanical implementation of an ever-thickening web of regulations that leaves no room for un-tidy discretion and judgment. Nowadays, add “equity” and “environmental justice” to the lengthening list of ends that an infrastructure project must include.

“We are,” Landrieu says, “in a short-term world solving long-term problems.” One such problem is that Ameri-cans no longer believe what Biden says the infrastructure law will prove: that the na-tion “can do big things again.” Landrieu’s task is to make the law prove rather than refute this.

WASHINGTON POST

A promoter’s change of heart about hold-ing a gun show in Saugerties a week after he announced its cancellation is about more than second thoughts. It raises questions of David Petronis’ true motives and how far he would go to turn a profit.

It was hard to believe when Petronis, presi-dent of New EastCoast Arms Collector Asso-ciates, said he was calling off the Father’s Day weekend gun show at the Kiwanis Ice Arena out of respect for the victims and survivors of two recent mass shootings that killed 31 people in Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas.

In rescinding his cancellation, Petronis said: “At this point I am asking the Town Board to disregard my statement that I will cancel the gun show but rather that I be al-lowed to continue with my contract as writ-ten and of your agreement. I want to proceed with our Father’s Day NEACA Arms Fair at the Kiwanis Arena on June 17, 18, 19. I have polled all my exhibitors and they again would welcome the opportunity to come back to your great little town.”

Saugerties police chief Joseph Sinagra said he is now concerned about the timing of the show, the security that would be needed because of possible protesters rallying at the event and the additional security needed to

protect patrons of the show.Beyond these concerns, Saugerties resi-

dents deserve to know just how much Petro-nis really wanted to cancel his show and how much of his reversal was actually a rather crude publicity stunt to attract bigger crowds to his show.

He did not use those words or reveal what was on his mind when he rescinded the can-cellation, but there are clues in Petronis’ post on the New EastCoast website: “We have always had a fine event there and I see every reason why we should have a fantastic event next weekend. Especially with all of the free advertising noting our cancellation and now our aggressive turnaround to that cancella-tion. The controversy brings the news, the news brings the people.”

So while we look to Sinagra and the town board for a solution, let us consider Petronis’ own words: “Free advertising”; “Controversy brings the news”; “The news brings the peo-ple.” Sound engineered? It does to us.

In this very space in Tuesday’s editions, we wrote these words: “Petronis should be commended for having the guts and integrity to break ranks with his fellow promoters and cancel the Saugerties gun show.” Ever have the feeling you’ve been cheated?

Ever have the feeling you’ve been cheated?

The big question surrounding the Jan. 6 congressional hearings is whether former President Donald Trump can survive politi-cally or if they will just push him into running for another White House term.

Trump — depending on your political viewpoint — has been the clear star or vil-lain of the hearings so far, with Democrats obsessed with uncovering enough evidence to charge him criminally for the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and torching his political future.

But it’s a double-edged sword, because elevating Trump also increases his clout and stature among his supporters.

The hearings could also make Trump even more determined to run again. The former president is such an egomaniac he wants to be vindicated and seek revenge, and winning another term is the best way to do that.

Some Democrats, in fact, may want to run against Trump more than a newcomer like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The second day of the hearings took a de-cidedly political turn on Monday, with Demo-crats spending more time defending the elec-tion process than vilifying Trump.

Democrats also made a shocking revela-tion that Trump raised money off his claims that the election was stolen, claiming the money was for fighting election fraud. Wow, what a blockbuster.

“So not only was there the big lie, there was the big rip-off,” U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Cali-fornia Democrat, said. “Donors deserve to know where their funds are really going. They deserve better than what President Trump and his team did.”

Is that illegal? Or just politics as usual?

Democrats and their affiliate groups are rais-ing just as much money off the hearings as Trump.

Where does a bloviating politician end and criminal activity begin? How many politicians have claimed the election was stolen? Plenty over the years. But they never faced a criminal probe.

And what’s the political fallout so far?Over the last few days, Democrats on the

Jan. 6 panel have tried repeatedly to convince Americans watching and federal investiga-tors that there’s enough evidence to charge Trump.

One of the Democrats’ goals is to demon-ize all Republicans in hopes that it will soften what looks like a Republican red wave in the November midterm elections.

But will this be enough to turn attention away from Biden’s catastrophic presidency?

Not so far.Inflation and the tanking economy remain

the dominant issues on the minds of most Americans, and those issues are what’s caus-ing President Biden’s approval ratings to tank.

Democrats want voters to be sitting around the kitchen table talking about the hearings, but are viewers really sitting around talking about how much bread and milk cost?

Biden is less popular than Trump was at this stage of his presidency, and no amount of televised hearings is going to change that.

umnist and multimedia reporter.

BRIEFS

By Lula AndersonFor Columbia-Greene Media

There are things in life that we take for granted, until we lose them. As you know, I have macular degeneration, and as my eyesight dwindles, I think of all that I used to be able to do, but can no longer do. Judy had cataract surgery last Thursday. For awhile now, she had a hard time writing, reading and just doing stuff. Her first eye was done in 2021, and she had a far distance lens put in. As the right cataract hardened, it was hard to focus and even walk. As of yesterday, she can read without glasses, and see the computer screen. Reading my mail is easier now, as she doesn’t need to look for her glasses to be able to help me. I wish there was a way to bring back my eyesight, as well as all of those elderly whose macular is getting weaker. As cataract surgery has im-proved, maybe we will soon see help for others.

Are you looking for a job now that your benefits have run out? Do you like working with Senior Citizens? Would you like a full time job with Greene County benefits? The Jewett Nutrition Center has an opening for a full time food service aide. You would be helping in the dining room, and delivering meals for the home bound. You would get full County benefits includ-ing health insurance and sick and vacation time. You must pass a drug test and back-ground search, but the work is relatively easy. If Sal, who is a young 80, can do it, so can you. Call the Greene County De-partment of Human Services to apply at 518-719-3555.

On June 12, more than 50 gathered at the VFW Windham to give well wishes to Pastor Choi as he moves to a church in Manhattan on July 1. The food was abundant and every-one enjoyed the fellowship.

Craft classes for WAJPL Golden Agers will begin this Wednesday. Stained Glass, taught by Albin Beckmann and Janet Armstrong will have

an introductory class starting at 10 a.m. The following weeks they will begin at 9. Albin has learned a new technique that he wants to pass on to you, as well as traditional work. Come and make a masterpiece. At noon, Judy and Vicky will be teaching ceramic classes. Bring your old worn out lawn ornaments for refurbishing, or go on a road trip to Jefferson to pick up some new pieces. You will see them come to life be-fore your eyes. Don’t forget the club meetings are on the first and third Mondays starting at 1 at the senior hall downstairs in the Windham Town Hall in Hensonville. There are still a couple of openings for the trip to Booth Bay Harbor, Maine. Plus dinner shows at the Brownstone and Log Cabin. Call Mary Louise at 518-622-3397.

Prayers and condolences to the family of Dennis Martin who passed on Thursday. He was a retired game warden for the area. Sympathy to the family of Jim Briggs, the son of Tom and Jackie who passed. Continued prayers for Anita Drum, Pat Ferris, Maurice Mudge and MaryAnne Ferris.

AS I REMEMBER IT

In the ‘50s and ‘60s, there was a full service garage/gas station on the property where the Windham Fire House is now located. It was run by Don Crandell, Crandell’s ga-rage. Don and his wife, Honey, lived on Vets Road. At the time, full service meant just that. Full service. They would pump your gas, check your oil and wash your windshield every time you needed gas — no matter if you needed one

gallon, or a complete fill up. You went to the garage for oil changes, tire changes and ro-tation, new batteries, battery check, change light bulbs, fuses, check the water in your radiator, and antifreeze level. Don’s garage had two bays, and a pit that you drove over, versus the lift that we have in repair shops today. When my oil change was done, Don said I could take her away, and while backing out, caught the bumper on the doorway. That was the last time I was allowed to drive in or out of his garage.

While sorting out some old papers, I found an old sales receipt book, or rather copies of bills from the account I had. Remember when you went into a business and each cus-tomer had their own bill pad, the kind with carbon paper copies, which were kept on a shelf in a box. Your name was on the binder top of the pad so the clerk could just pull out your account. You got one re-ceipt, and the top copy stayed in the book. This booklet was from March 9 through June 23, 1961. Gas at the time was 2 gal-lons for 75 cents, 5 quarts of oil was $2.75, and a grease job was $1.25. I could always be sure of getting service because I paid on my account regularly. The top showed the current bal-ance while each service had its own line. Payments were im-mediately deducted from the total. No computer was neces-sary to keep tabs on who owed what. If I wanted a dollar’s worth of gas, I got 3 gallons. Enough to get me to work and back.

Our local businesses trusted us, and gave us service. They knew us by name, and kept tabs on when we needed ser-vices. Now we have to hunt down a garage for repairs, and there are no family owned gas stations. Washing your wind-shield? Now you’re lucky if there’s water in the container when you want to wash your own. You can’t get your tire pressure checked, and not even air is free. So much for the good old days!

NEW YORK — New York Mayor Eric Adams endorsed Gov. Kathy Hochul for reelec-tion at a Manhattan union hall on Wednesday, describing her as an “amazing governor” and painting their partnership as an “unprecedented” departure from historic discord between their two posts.

“We need a worker. We need someone with a vision, some-one who knows how to roll up their sleeves and get stuff done in the State of New York,” Ad-ams told a cheering crowd of union workers in Midtown. “Let’s put Kathy Hochul back into the Governor’s Mansion.”

The endorsement arrived less than two weeks ahead of the June 28 Election Day in the Democratic primary, and seemed to serve as icing on a race that Hochul has domi-nated.

She holds vast leads over Public Advocate Jumaane Wil-liams, a progressive, and Rep. Tom Suozzi, a Long Island centrist, according to opinion polls. Both of the long-shot challengers had sought Adams’ endorsement.

Some had wondered if the mayor, who has enjoyed a cozy public relationship with Ho-chul, was holding off with his endorsement to enhance his leverage with the governor dur-ing the close of the legislative session in Albany.

He told NY1 ahead of the en-dorsement event, “This is the

right time; we’re near the Elec-tion Day. We’re going to get out the votes.”

And he delivered a spirited case for the governor’s reelec-tion in his speech at the head-quarters of Local 32BJ of the Service Employees Interna-tional Union, portraying her as a tireless and passionate cham-pion of everyday New Yorkers, and a collaborative leader in government.

“Our priorities are your pri-orities — the same thing you want is what we want,” Adams said, refashioning favored lines about himself and ascribing them to Hochul. “We are you. And we’re not new to this, we’re true to this.”

Then, he listed off successes

he said Hochul had brought to New York City, including an increase to the earned income tax credit, subsidies for parents and a blueprint to boost and fund the New York City Hous-ing Authority.

He punctuated each line: “Why? Governor Hochul.”

Speaking after the mayor, Hochul declared that “relation-ships in government matter” and continued to tout the pair’s work on policy as the crowd showered her with chants of “Kathy! Kathy!”

Observers had expected Ad-ams to endorse the governor for months. Both Democrats are relatively moderate, they are roughly the same age, and they worked together for years

before taking their respective posts. Hochul spoke at Adams’ election night party in Novem-ber.

The link between the two has so far served as a dramatic con-trast to the hostile relationship between former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who resigned in Au-gust, and former Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose term ended at the end of 2021.

New York City mayors have quarreled with governors for decades — in a stew of overlap-ping egos and powers — and it remains to be seen if Adams and Hochul can maintain their friendly relations.

But the governor expressed confidence, saying that she and Adams have forged “a partner-ship where none existed be-fore.”

“The era of the governor of New York and the mayor of New York City fighting is over,” Hochul said. “We’ll roll up our sleeves and fight for you — the people of this city.”

Payton Gendron, the 18-year-old white man ac-cused of hunting and killing 10 Black people in a Buffalo supermarket, could face the death penalty.

Prosecutors in the Western District of New York charged Gendron on Wednesday with 10 counts of hate crime re-sulting in death, three counts involving bodily injury and attempt to kill, 10 counts of use of a firearm to commit murder and in retaliation to a crime of violence and three counts of use and discharge of a firearm during and in retaliation to a crime of vio-lence.

The charges for use of a firearm to commit murder and in retaliation to a crime of violence carry the death penalty if prosecutors decide to pursue that.

“Gendron’s motive for the mass shooting was to prevent Black people from replacing white people and

eliminating the white race, and to inspire others to com-mit similar attacks,” the criminal complaint reads.

On May 14, the teenager allegedly drove more than three hours from his home-town of Conklin, New York, to the Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo and opened fire with an AR-15-style rifle, ac-cording to officials.

Of the 13 victims, 11 were Black, including all 10 fatali-ties.

In a 180-page manifesto in Gendron’s name and posted online, the teenager alleg-edly wrote that he targeted Buffalo because it had the “highest Black percentage that is close enough to where I live.” He also allegedly had the N-word painted on the barrel of his modified assault weapon.

Gendron also reportedly shared his plans in a private Discord chat room, describ-ing killing and mutilating a cat and being commit-ted to a medical facility for

psychiatric evaluation after he told his high school class that he planned to com-mit “murder/suicide,” ac-cording to the Washington Post. His alleged assault was livestreamed in that chat room.

He has already pleaded not guilty to state charges, including a domestic act of terrorism motivated by hate, 10 counts of first-de-gree murder, 10 counts of second-degree murder as a hate crime, three counts of attempted murder as a hate crime and criminal posses-sion of a weapon.

Gendron faces a mandato-ry life sentence if convicted on the state charges.

He is due back in court Thursday morning for his arraignment on the federal charges.

Totally off the grid with only their dogs as companions, Hollyn and Colie brave inclement weather and perilous work conditions while pondering their futures. A portrait of friendship, life transitions, and the work of two skilled young women in the isolated and beauti-ful landscape of the American West, Bitterbrush is an intimate portrayal of a way of life rarely seen on film. 2021. 1h31m.Saturday, June 18 at 4:45 p.m., Sunday, June 19 at 3 p.m., Monday, June 20 at 7:45 p.m.n Céline Sciamma’s, PETITE MA-MAN (2022) — Céline Sciamma continues to prove herself as one of the most accomplished and un-predictable contemporary French filmmakers with her follow up to PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE, the uniquely emotional, PETITE MA-MAN. Following the death of her beloved grandmother, 8-year-old Nelly accompanies her parents to her mother’s childhood home to begin the difficult process of cleaning out its contents. As Nelly explores the house and nearby woods, she is immediately drawn to a neighbor her own age building a treehouse. What follows is a tender tale of childhood grief, memory and connection.French with English subtitles. 2022.1h12m.Sunday, June 19 at 2:30 p.m.n John Huston’s, THE MISFITS (1961) — An American western film written by Arthur Miller, direct-ed by John Huston, and star- ring Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and Montgomery Clift. Adapted by Mill-er from his own short story of the same name published in Esquire in October 1957, the movie was the last completed film for both Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. For Gable, the film was posthumously released, while Monroe died in 1962. The plot centers on a newly divorced woman (Monroe) and her time in Reno and Northern Nevada, spent with her friendly landlady Isabelle Steers (Thelma Ritter), an old-school cow- boy (Gable), the cowboy’s tow truck-driving and plane-flying friend (Wallach), and their rodeo-riding, bronc-busting friend (Clift) in Dayton, Nevada, and in the western Nevada desert in 1960. 1961.2h05m.Monday, June 20 at 5:15 p.m.n Saul William’s, NEPTUNE FROST (2021) — Multi-hyphenate, multidisciplinary artist Saul Wil-liams brings his unique dynamism to this Afrofuturist vision, a sci-fi punk musical that’s a visually won-drous amalgamation of themes, ideas, and songs that Williams has explored in his work, notably his 2016 album MartyrLoserKing. Co-directed with the Rwandan-born artist and cinematographer Anisia Uzeyman, the film takes place in the hilltops of Burundi, where a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region’s natural resources – and its people. When an intersex runaway and an escaped coltan miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry. Set between states of being – past and present, dream and waking life, colonized and free, male and female, memory and prescience – Neptune Frost is an invigorating and empowering direct download to the cerebral cortex and a call to reclaim technology for progres-sive political ends.

surface – it’s a bittersweet domestic drama, a marital comedy, a story of immigrant striving, and a hurt-filled ballad of mother-daughter love” – A.O. Scott, The New York Times. 2022. 2h20m.Sunday, June 19 at 4:45 p.m.n Michelangelo Frammartino’s, IL BUCO (2021) — During the economic boom of the 1960s, Europe’s highest building is being built in Italy’s prosperous North. At the other end of the country, young speleologists explore Europe’s deepest cave in the untouched Ca-labrian hinterland. The bottom of the Bifurto Abyss, 700 meters below Earth, is reached for the first time. The intruders’ venture goes unno-ticed by the inhabitants of a small neighboring village, but not by the old shepherd of the Pollino plateau whose solitary life begins to inter-weave with the group’s journey. Another work of nearly wordless organic beauty that touches on the mystical from the visionary director of Le Quattro Volte, Michelangelo Frammartino’s Il Buco chronicles a visit through unknown depths of life and nature and parallels two great voyages to the interior.

By Raymond PignoneColumbia-Greene Media

A natural successor to “Por-trait of a Lady on Fire,” director Celine Sciamma yields the flash and potency of her 2020 break-through sexual drama to “Petite Maman,” a most unusual time-bending fairy tale but retains the muted supernaturalism of the earlier movie.

We start in the world of real-ity with Nelly (Josephine Sanz), an 8-year-old whose maternal grandmother has died. She and her parents travel to grandma’s home in the woods to clear out her belongings and make ar-rangements to put the house on the market.

Tucked into these events is the principal plot. Nelly, who is curious about what lies beyond the woods, wanders into the forest. There she finds another 8-year-old girl, Marion, who bears a striking resemblance to Nelly. Marion is played by Gabrielle Sanz, Josephine’s real-life twin. They become fast friends.

Nelly’s mother, too overcome by grief to continue working on the house, leaves. Nelly’s father, trying to ease his daugh-ter through this shattering

moment, stays behind. This gives Nelly the opportunity to spend time with Marion.

Then a strange thing hap-pens. Nelly visits Marion’s house across the woods and dis-covers that it is identical to her grandmother’s house in every detail, and that a younger ver-sion of her grandmother is alive and is Marion’s mother.

Nelly understands imme-diately that Marion is actually her own mother as she looked 25 years earlier, but she doesn’t panic or fire obvious ques-tions at Marion. Nelly is a level-headed kid with an intelligent child’s imagination. There’s no exaggeration or hysteria in the

presentation. Sciamma, who wrote the script, treats it as a child would experience it, as play, a natural part of being a kid, and something off-limits to adults.

“Petite Maman” is lively and engrossing without being espe-cially dramatic. The Sanz sisters have an internal drive; they’re energetic and completely con-vincing as childhood mother-daughter friends. Much of the design is gorgeously intricate and Sciamma brings a colorful atmosphere to this into-the-woods fable. The small support-ing cast is good enough to make its presence felt when not on the screen.

If anything, the screen, like the story line, depicts a movie of pared-down simplicity. As for Josephine and Gabrielle Sanz, they seem to be lost in a bewitching, enchanted world of their own.

Petite Maman” has heart-warming undercurrents, but Sciamma is too shrewd a direc-tor to let them intrude upon the movie’s matter-of-fact imagina-tion. The engaging performanc-es of Josephine and Gabrielle Sanz make the most of both the eerie and tender moments.

Sciamma combines ele-ments of children’s fascination with what their parents were like when they were kids and the haunted-house genre to make a suspenseful tale that is warm-hearted and magical instead of coldblooded and scary.

“Petite Maman” is about children whose destinies will draw them together inextricably through the past to the present and into the future. Sciamma might have taken a more ethe-real approach and the film’s brevity (it runs 72 minutes) is offset by slow pacing, but it’s still a moving, strikingly photo-graphed artistic endeavor.

Fantasy packs lifetime of enchantment in 72 minutes

PRATTSVILLE — Happy Fa-ther’s Day to all those wonder-ful fathers who set a fine exam-ple for all children. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Hope you observed Flag Day in some form or another. Old Glory continues to be a symbol of Freedom and Hope. Honor and Defend the Stars and Strips.

Continued thanks to our medical professionals, EMTs, first responders, essential work-ers and all who make it possible for us to have a comfortable life.

The service on Thursday evening and Friday afternoon were truly an honorable and lovely tribute to the life of Betty O’Hara, followed by a reception at the Zadock Pratt Museum. Lots of laugher, what else would there be for Betty, and fond memories. She was there in spirit.

Jim and Roxie King enter-tained family for a few days. The Kings enjoy their large family and relish the time they are able to spend together.

Mary and Dan Mundy of Huntersfield were enjoying dinner at the Prattsville Tavern. Mary had the sad news to relate that her sister Marguerite Ro-choll had died. Marguerite and husband Ted lived on Old Fer-ris Farm Road. They attended St. Philip Neri RC, Grand Gorge and were very active in the VA Christmas Program. Every year they would purchase gifts and wrap them at the Gurley home. Marguerite was a semi profes-sional photographer, more professional than semi, and always took the pictures at the wrapping party. She also wrote a memoir of her childhood and adult years. Our sympathy to Marguerite’s family. Margue-rite donated one of her framed photographs to the 9th Floor at Stratton VAMC.

Our sympathy to the family of Jimmy Briggs on his recent passing. Too much sadness.

It was good to see Tom and Wanita Marquit of Castleton on the Hudson. Tom grew up in Prattsville, son of Lyle and Freda Marquit, and gave a lot of good memories to many. It isn’t everyone who can be thrown out of the Red Carpet but he did have company in this fete. Wanita was less troublesome and calmed Tom down a bit. Good people. Hello to Gail Par-tridge, not sure of her last name now. Gail is the daughter of Ed-die and Dawn Becker Partridge. She was in the Gilboa Cones-ville CS Class of ’75. Greetings to Debbie and Steve Hubbard of Gilboa. They are here for the summer months and enjoy Florida in the winter month.

Check out the Veterans and Military Family Resource Fair at Greenville American Legion Post 291 3-5 p.m. June 23, host-ed by state Senator Michelle Hinchey in partnership with Assemblyman Chris Tague, Greenville American Legion

Post 291 and Greene County Veterans Service Agency.

The Reformed Church of Prattsville had another success-ful chicken barbecue this past Saturday. All the food was sold so you know there were a lot of happy luncheon/dinner guests that day.

Bob Hermance of Lexing-ton was in Oklahoma recently to help Carrie get some home chores accomplished. Do miss Carrie, Bob is lucky to be able to visit her often. Bob’s brother Frankie was able to be out and about on Saturday, being chauffeured around. Regard-less, he was able to get out and enjoy friends and the weather. Good health Frankie.

Happy Birthday to Sandy Traver and Alan Huggins on June 18. On June 20 we wish Don Speenburgh Happy Birth-day. Happy Birthday to Al Creazzo on June 21. Erin O’Hara Meyer and Ken Maurer are wished Happy Birthday on June 22. Happy Birthday to Pat Smith on June 23.

Wishing all dads a happy Father’s Day

SAN SALVADOR — At the World Cup in Qatar, the U.S. men’s national team will not have to navigate fields like the one reduced to a muddy slop Tuesday night by overuse and a barrage of rain.

It won’t have to face opponents that are more

grit than greatness or engage in superfluous regional exercises such as the Concacaf Nations League.

But when the Ameri-cans do arrive in Doha in five months, they are going to face adver-sity in other forms. And unlike Tuesday, when they scored late to tie El

GREENPORT — The Mudcats earned their first win in the 2022 season in the Hudson River Collegiate Baseball League with a close 3-2 victory over the Bears at Greenport Town Park on Tuesday.

Justin Sargent came away with the win for the Mudcats in a relief appearance that was 1.2 innings with a hit, a walk, and a strikeout. The Bears’ Carter Romansky took the loss after a relief role of his own, going two innings and giving up the lead-ing run on two hits and striking out one.

The Bears’ Dylan Tierney led off the bottom of the first with a base hit, and got all the way to third on a passed ball and then a groundout. Zackary Scribner worked a two out walk to put runners on the corners, but Chris Palmieri grounded one to short for a fielder’s choice to end the inning as the fielder stepped on sec-ond.

Christian Ott started the top of the sec-ond for the Mudcats by getting hit by a pitch and taking first base. With one out, MATT FORTUNATO/COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

NEW YORK — Max Scherzer’s oblique strain is 90% recovered, but only halfway there.

The expensive Mets ace revealed he received a P4P injection not long after suffering his injury, and the treatment went well enough to begin his tedious climb to the finish line quickly.

“The way to describe this injury and the re-hab of this, half of the battle is getting back to 90 percent and then the second half of this battle is 90 percent to 100 percent,” Scherzer said. “With the trainers here we’ve done a good job of getting back to 90 percent but I’m still fighting the fight here to get back to 100 percent.”

Confusing math notwithstanding, Tuesday’s update was encouraging. Scherzer threw in the outfield before the Mets’ game against the Brew-ers, having returned to the club after rehab-bing at home during its 10-game road trip. He’s scheduled to pitch a live batting practice session this week and the ideal scenario, as Scherzer ex-plained, is one rehab start before an MLB return.

But Scherzer was also careful not to put time-lines or expectations on his recovery.

“You just have to keep increasing your work-load. You have to be cognizant and very aware of your body from how you stress it and how does it respond. You have to know what’s going on and what is normal and what’s not,” Scherzer said. “The other way I kind of describe it right now is

breaking in a new shoe. It doesn’t feel good when you break in a new shoe, but you got to do it. That’s how I kind of feel now. I’m breaking through the scar tissue here of getting back to throwing and bullpens and everything. As you stress it, you’re going to feel different things. But you don’t want it

to spiral out of control and have a setback.”The original recovery timeline of 6 to 8 weeks

would have Scherzer back by mid-July. He’s not paying attention to that estimate.

“It means nothing to me. I’m just doing what I can do every single day,” Scherzer said. “Come

out here and work, put my work in, whatever I can handle. If I can do it quickly, great. If I do it slower, great. I can only do what I can do.”

Scherzer noted that former Nationals team-mate Yan Gomes returned just 19 days after treat-ing the same injury with a PRP injection.

“Actually in a big league ballgame in 19 days. That’s crazy,” Scherzer said. “I can also see how he did it. If it works for you, it can really work. And I feel like it worked for me and got me back to 90 percent, the first half of this, pretty fast. I was back out there at 90 percent really quick. It’s the last 10 percent here that’s the danger.”

Scherzer’s update arrived as Jacob deGrom, who suffered a stress fracture in spring training, continued his “mound progressions.” It’s a tan-talizing to think about reintegrating two aces to a club that currently holds the best record in the National League.

“It’s not hard to (think about those players com-ing back),” Mets manager Buck Showalter said. “I’ve got some very loose dates on everybody. I’ve asked those questions, like I’m sure you would, or even a fan would, ‘Hey, best case scenario? Hey, worst case scenario? Try to get a window there.”

Although cautious about his outlook, Scherzer was happy to be back in the clubhouse.

“I hate watching them on TV. I’d rather be out there with them, but it is what it is,” Scherzer said. “I got to listen to Keith Hernandez a little bit more.”

Mets’ Scherzer on the mend but only halfway to returning to mound

BROOKLINE, Mass. — Has Phil Mickelson turned into public enemy No. 1, or is he still a huge fan favorite in the wake of his defection to Sau-di-backed LIV Golf?

The answer to that ques-tion is certainly one of the chief storylines heading into the U.S. Open, which begins Thursday at The Country Club.

Mickelson is playing on U.S. soil for the first time since joining the controver-sial tour.

While he’s ruffled some feathers with the PGA Tour,

and with fellow players, how would the fans treat him?

Based on the crowd reac-tion Tuesday while Mickel-son played a practice round with Jon Rahm and fellow LIV Golf member Kevin Na, the six-time major winner hasn’t lost his appeal. The Mickelson fan club remains loud and strong.

As he walked the fairways, he was greeted with chants of “We Love You Phil,” and “Go Get ‘Em Lefty” almost at ev-ery turn.

On the seventh fairway, one fan shouted: “Just win, baby! It’s going to be a media

Field Level Media

Miles Mikolas came within one out of throwing a no-hitter as the St. Louis Cardinals routed the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates 9-1 on Tuesday night to complete a doubleheader sweep.

After Mikolas retired Michael Perez on a groundout and Tu-cupita Marcano on a flyout in the ninth inning, Cal Mitchell launched a ground-rule double on a 2-2 pitch. Mikolas was then taken out of the game, coming up just short of the first no-hitter thrown by a Cardinals pitcher since Bud Smith accomplished the feat on Sept. 3, 2001.

Paul Goldschmidt went 4-for-4 with two homers and five RBIs for the Cardinals. Tommy Edman finished 3-for-5 with a homer and two runs, and Brendan Donovan went 4-for-5 with a double, three runs and an RBI.

The Pirates got on the board in the fourth inning when Bryan Reynolds reached on left fielder Juan Yepez’s two-base error and came around to score on a pair of groundouts.

Cardinals 3, Pirates 1 (Game 1)Paul Goldschmidt hit a homer

and drove in all three runs as host St. Louis defeated Pittsburgh in the first half of a day-night dou-bleheader.

The Pirates extended their losing streak to eight games and committed four errors, three by shortstop Diego Castillo. Yadi-er Molina of St. Louis became MLB’s all-time leader for putouts by a catcher when he recorded No. 14,865.

Mets 4, Brewers 0Chris Bassitt allowed three

singles in eight stellar innings for his first win in over a month, Pete Alonso drove in two runs and New York extended its home win-ning streak to nine games with a win over slumping Milwaukee.

Bassitt (5-4) struck out seven, walked one and threw first-pitch strikes to 17 of 26 hitters. He won for the first time since pitching 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball at Philadelphia on May 8. Alonso

upped his RBI total to 59. The first baseman hit an RBI single in New York’s three-run first, off Adrian Houser (3-7), and added an RBI single in the fifth that chased Houser. Jeff McNeil added an RBI double in the first and Alonso scored on a sacrifice fly by Edu-ardo Escobar.

Reds 5, D-backs 3 (12)Albert Almora Jr.’s second

hit of the game was a triple that drove in the winning run in the 12th inning, leading Cincinnati over Arizona in Phoenix.

Almora, who also doubled in the contest, led off the 12th with a triple into the right field corner, knocking in designated runner Matt Reynolds. Almora scored an insurance run one out later, on a single by Jonathan India.

Luis Cessa (3-1), who wild-pitched two runs across in the bottom of the 11th when Arizona was just one strike away from a win, picked up the victory. Joel Kuhnel earned his first major league save by throwing a 1-2-3 bottom of the 12th.

Mariners 5, Twins 0Logan Gilbert pitched six

scoreless innings and Eugenio Suarez and Ty France each hit two-run homers as Seattle de-feated visiting Minnesota.

Gilbert (7-2), a right-hander in

his first full season in the major leagues, gave up four hits, walked one and struck out six in mak-ing his sixth straight quality start. Relievers Erik Swanson, Diego Castillo and Matt Festa then each pitched a hitless inning.

Dodgers 2, Angels 0Tony Gonsolin did not allow a

run over 6 1/3 innings and Mook-ie Betts homered as Los Angeles ended a three-game losing streak by shutting out Los Angeles.

Gonsolin gave up just one hit, a fourth-inning single by Shohei Ohtani, as he got the best of a pitchers’ duel opposite Angels right-hander Noah Syndergaard, who gave up one run over just 4 2/3 innings.

Gonsolin improved to 8-0 on the season, tying the Houston As-tros’ Justin Verlander and the To-ronto Blue Jays’ Alek Manoah for the major league lead in wins. He lowered his ERA to a big-league-best 1.42 after giving up two walks and striking out six.

Astros 4, Rangers 3Kyle Tucker ripped a two-run

homer in the eighth inning as Houston took advantage of a shaky Texas bullpen to prevail in Arlington, Texas.

Bryan Abreu (4-0) got the win in relief, and Ryan Pressly al-lowed two hits in the ninth but

still earned his 12th save. John King (1-3) took the loss, giving up four runs, three of which were earned, in one-third inning.

Giants 4, Royals 2Logan Webb threw seven shut-

out innings and Tommy La Stella came off the bench to produce half of the Giants’ scoring with a pair of sacrifice flies as San Fran-cisco beat visiting Kansas City.

A pitchers’ duel between Webb and Royals starter Kris Bubic went scoreless into the last of the sixth before the Giants produced a three-run uprising. Wilmer Flores and Darin Ruf drove in runs with singles, and La Stella, pinch-hitting for Evan Longoria, plated the eventual difference-maker with his first sacrifice fly. The Giants grabbed a lead they never relinquished en route to a second straight win over the Roy-als to start the three-game series and a fifth in a row overall.

Guardians 4, Rockies 3 (10)Josh Naylor had three hits and

Jose Ramirez drove in three runs and hit a tiebreaking double in the 10th inning as Cleveland beat Colorado in Denver.

The Guardians got the go-ahead run in the extra frame on Ramirez’s double off Robert Stephenson (0-1), which drove in Amed Rosario. Rosario had two hits and scored twice, Bryan Shaw (2-0) pitched one inning of relief and Emmanuel Clase got the final three outs for his 12th save for Cleveland, which has won five out of its last six.

Padres 12, Cubs 5Luke Voit hit a two-run homer

and a go-ahead, three-run dou-ble, as visiting San Diego over-came a five-run hole to hand Chicago an eighth consecutive defeat.

Jake Cronenworth added three hits, Nomar Mazara had two hits and three RBIs and Jorge Alfaro homered late for San Diego, which won for the ninth time in 12 games. Off to the franchise’s best start (39-24), the Padres also have won a season-high five straight on the road, where they are a National League-best 22-11.

MLB roundup: Cards’ Miles Mikolas just misses no-hitter vs. Pirates

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (39) is removed from the game by manager Oliver Marmol (37) after giving up his first hit of the game to Pittsburgh Pirates right fielder Cal Mitchell during the ninth inning at Busch Stadium on Tuesday.

Kristie AckertNew York Daily News

NEW YORK — The Yankees came prepared. This stretch of the season is expected to be a test for the Bombers, a chance to see how they measure up against the teams they are projected to be battling at the end of the year for playoff position, and in the play-offs. With six scoreless, bounce-back innings from Gerrit Cole, the Yankees showed they are ready for the test with a 2-0 win over the Rays at Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees (45-16) have won five straight and 12 of their last 13 games. They increased their lead in the American League East to nine games over the Blue Jays and 10 over the Rays (35-26). The Yankees have dominated early. They lead the majors in home runs with 98 (though improved to 9-9 in games in which they do not hit a home run Tuesday night) and have the big-league home run leader in Aaron Judge with 24. Their pitchers have dominated, allowing just 180 runs, the fewest by any team’s staff in the majors.

The Yankees have the best record in baseball, but through the first 60 games only played 22 games against teams with a win-ning record.

That obviously stopped Tues-day night with their American League East rival Rays in town. It began a stretch of 13 straight games against teams with win-ning records. After the Rays, the Blue Jays and Astros follow.

“I think it’s gonna be tough. I mean, we’re entering a tough stretch of games right now,” Yan-kees manager Aaron Boone said. “We know how good Tampa is. We know how good Toronto is and how good they’re playing re-ally over the last month.

“So, we got to continue to play

well and know certainly through this stretch of games, especially within our divisions against two teams that we know are going to be there all the way,” Boone continued. We know we’ve got to play our best if we’re gonna have a chance to beat them on a night-ly basis.”

Cole held the Rays scoreless, scattering five hits over six in-nings. He walked one and struck out seven. He threw 92 pitches and got 11 swings-and-misses, six on his fastball and four on his slider.

It was a bounce-back start from his last, a clunker against the Twins, but it wasn’t an easy night.

Cole was bailed out by his de-fense in the sixth inning. After Cole made a terrible throw to sec-ond, a video replay overturned

the error, showing Gleyber Torres kept the bottom of one cleat on second base for the first out. Af-ter his Rays nemesis Ji-Man Choi singled on a ball up the middle, Cole used a slider away to get the double-play ground ball from Randy Arozarena to end the in-ning.

Cole was fired up after the play, pumping his fist twice and screaming to his teammates as he ran off the field.

In Tampa, when a call went against him, Cole walked the next batter on four pitches and the Rays scored on him as they went on to beat the Yankees 3-1. This time, after his own throwing er-ror, Cole flailed his arms up and swore. Boone went out to the mound to try and settle his ace down.

Cole had a better beginning than his last start -- when he gave up back-to-back-to-back home runs to the Twins in the first. Af-ter a one-out single to Harold Ramirez, Cole retired 11 straight Rays. He gave up a lead-off walk to Arozarena in the fifth and then walked Kevin Kiermaier on four straight pitches.

The Yankees took advantage of the Rays’ sloppy play in the fourth to score their runs. Corey Kluber walked Stanton with one out and Torres’ high pop clanged off of Manuel Margot’s glove to put two on. After Matt Carpenter struck out, Isaiah Kiner-Falefa lined a bloop single to left-center field, scoring Stanton. Torres scored when Arozarena’s throw from left field sailed over catcher Francis-co Mejia’s head.

Bears pitcher Raymond White throws during Tuesday’s Hudson River Collegiate Baseball League game against the Mudcats at Greenport Town Park.

Joe Peregrim III singled and sent Ott from first to third on the hit. Ben Hand came up and sent a fly ball to right, deep enough for Ott to tag up and score on the sacrifice fly to give the Mudcats a 1-0 lead.

In the bottom of the third, Martin Thorsland got aboard with a base hit to lead it off for the Bears. Thorsland ad-vanced to second on an er-rant pickoff attempt by Mud-cats starting pitcher Christian Pskowski went wide of the bag. Tierney tied the game with an RBI groundout to short that scored Thorsland and it was 1-1.

Matthew Snyder led off the bottom of the fifth for the Bears with a single and stole second base shortly. With two outs, Thorsland got a base hit to move Snyder into scoring position. Then the runners were able to move up on mul-tiple passed balls, and Snyder eventually scored to give the Bears a 2-1 lead.

In the top of the seventh, Troy Hunt led off with a single and soon advanced to second on a wild pitch. Joe Tedford moved Hunt to third base with a base hit of his own and the Mudcats were in position to tie the game. With the tying run 90 feet away, Ari Lonstein hit a fly ball to right field for a sacrifice fly, and Hunt tagged from third to tie the game 2-2.

Ahead in the top of the ninth, Hunt was leading off again and he roped a pitch into the outfield for a triple to prime the Mudcats’ offense to retake the lead. Corey Daniels flew out to left but it was not deep enough for Hunt to tag up. But Tedford came up and hit a fly ball to center field and it had enough distance this time, as Hunt tagged up on the bag and trotted home to score the go-ahead run for the Mud-cats.

Down 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth, Scribner struck out swinging and the Bears were

down to two outs. Palmieri stepped into the batter’s box next and he worked the count full and turned it into a walk to get on base. Snyder sent a ball to the outfield but it was caught in left for the second out.

Romansky kept the inning alive with a base hit and moved the tying run to second. Quinn Toomey was the last chance for the Bears but unfortu-nately for them he grounded to short for a fielder’s choice as the shortstop flipped it to sec-ond for the force and the final out of the game. The Mudcats held on to their slim lead and earned the win 3-2 over the Bears, the Mudcats’ first vic-tory of the season so far.

HRCBL standings: Knights 6-1, Storm 4-2, Bears 6-4, Rat-tlers 3-4, Warriors 3-5, Mud-cats 1-7.

spectacle!”He also received birthday

wishes along the route -- he turns 52 Thursday -- and plen-ty of encouragement.

Mickelson, who spent 10 minutes signing autographs for fans who were lined up 10-deep at the turn, acknowl-edged the cheers and some-times engaged with the crowd during his round.

The banter was friendly, and sometimes comical.

Mickelson to no one in par-ticular: “Are the Celtics going to pull it off?”

Response from someone in the gallery: “Is Phil going to pull it off?”

During his illustrious ca-reer, he’s won the Masters, the British Open and PGA Cham-pionship, but the U.S. Open is the missing jewel to his career Grand Slam.

He’s lost the U.S. Open in torturous fashion on several occasions, so there are fans who are rooting for him to fi-nally get that monkey off his back. He’s currently 0 for 30 at what’s often considered the toughest major.

And while most of the crowd reactions were positive, there were a few that went the other way. His allegiance to the Sau-di-backed tour struck a nerve

with some.“We love you Phil,” said

one.While another followed:

“Not as much as we used to.”Then came the one real ex-

ception to the Mickelson love-fest.

On the eighth hole, one fan shouted: “Khashoggi!”

That’s the name of the Washington Post reporter and U.S. resident (Jamal Khashog-gi) who was murdered by agents of the Saudi govern-ment at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.

It was a clear slam aimed at Mickelson, as well as Na, who also joined LIV Golf.

Kenny Harms, who is Na’s caddie, grabbed officials and

pointed out the man who shouted Khashoggi’s name. The man was standing in the trees between the eighth and ninth fairways, and was quick-ly driven away in a golf cart. It’s unclear if he was arrested or simply ejected.

Both Mickelson and Na were assigned security details for the practice round, and that will likely be the case dur-ing the tournament. With two uniformed Brookline police officers per player, there were four officers walking with the Mickelson group. The Boston Herald was told there were al-so plainclothes officers plant-ed in the crowd.

Heading into the week, a source told the Herald the

expectation was for a negative and possibly hostile crowd re-action to Mickelson and oth-ers who split from the PGA Tour to basically pocket more money from LIV Golf.

Na, meanwhile, told the Herald the overall crowd reac-tion put him at ease going for-ward and is a likely precursor to what happens when Mick-elson -- along with other LIV Golf members -- tee off Thurs-day at the start of the tourna-ment.

“It’s nice to see that people are here to watch golf and they want to see good golf and they’re here to cheer, mostly Phil, and be supportive,” said Na. “This is about golf.”

Harms said the reaction

was good, save for the “one clown.”

Mickelson was also ap-proached by the Herald for a comment on the reaction from the fans lining the course, just before he took part in the au-tograph session, but politely declined, and went about signing as many caps, flags, golf balls and pictures as pos-sible before heading over to No. 10.

Lefty was just happy to en-gage with fans on a glorious af-ternoon on the golf course.

Crowd: “Who’s the bigger trash-talker, (Tom) Brady, or Peyton Manning.”

Mickelson: “They’re both strong.”

And so it went.

Mickelson From B1

Salvador, 1-1, at Estadio Cus-catlán, the stakes will rank considerably higher.

For much of the miserable night, Coach Gregg Berhal-ter’s 15th-ranked squad didn’t have an answer for Alex La-rin’s long-range oddity of a goal in the 35th minute. But early in second-half stoppage time, substitute Jordan Morris headed in Luca de la Torre’s cross from close range.

“The group grows with mo-ments like this,” Berhalter said. “After the game, Jordan walks into the locker room, ev-eryone starts to cheer. Every-one’s uniform is a dark brown color. The shoes are a mess. The staff is all dirty. I mean, this is what builds teams.”

With the United States fac-ing its second defeat to El Sal-vador in 27 meetings, Chris-tian Pulisic served a corner kick. Mario González made a sensational save on Weston McKennie’s header. Jesús Fer-reira tracked down the ball and supplied de la Torre, an-other sub, who set up Morris’s first international goal since November 2019.

“I just tried to make a run in the box and he put a perfect ball in the box,” Morris said. “I was fortunate to be there and put in the back of the net, but

all credit [to de la Torre] to put a great ball in the box.”

With that frantic finish, the Americans finished a string of four matches undefeated in the next-to-last camp be-fore the World Cup. The result also extended their unbeaten streak against No. 74 El Salva-dor to 20 games over 30 years.

Each team finished with 10 players after red cards to U.S. sub Paul Arriola in the 70th minute and El Salvador’s Ron-ald Rodriguez nine minutes later.

El Salvador (1-0-2) leads the Nations League group stand-ings, followed by the United States (1-0-1). Grenada is third at 0-2-1. Play will resume in early 2023.

Bigger things, though, are ahead for the Americans, who will assemble for one fi-nal camp - in late September - before the World Cup roster is named this fall. During that nine-day affair in Europe, they will play friendlies against two World Cup teams from the Asian confederation. One game will be held in Germany, the other in Spain. The oppo-nents will be announced in the coming weeks.

The Nations League group stage is not the best testing ground for the World Cup, but because it’s a manda-tory regional competition, the United States as well as Qatar-bound Mexico and Canada are trying to make the most of it.

Canada lost in Honduras, and Mexico drew at Jamaica.

Berhalter used these two matches to test players on the roster bubble and work on partnerships and tactics. He rested several regulars against Grenada, ranked No. 170 in the world, but recalled several to face El Salvador.

Ethan Horvath, among at least four candidates for the three goalkeeping slots in Qa-tar, made his first start of this window but faltered on Larin’s goal. Striker Haji Wright, a sub in two matches, received his first career start but was re-placed at halftime.

“It just wasn’t his night,” Berhalter said of Wright. “It doesn’t rule him out for any-thing in the future. We don’t work like that.”

The top wingers, Pulisic and Tim Weah, flanked Wright, who enjoyed a breakout cam-paign in Turkey last season and was looking to make an impression in a wide-open competition to become the long-term starting striker.

In the buildup to the match, Berhalter wanted to see his team make progress on the road after going 1-3-3 in the away qualifiers. “That’s cer-tainly going to be a challenge for this group,” he said.

In the big picture, Berhal-ter said, “We know it’s the last game before we go on break from each other, and we want to end on a good note.”

The scene was nothing like the meeting here in Septem-ber on the opening night of the qualifying calendar. De-spite plans for reduced ca-pacity because of coronavirus guidelines, the stadium that day was packed with specta-tors roaring their support for a team that hasn’t qualified for the World Cup since 1982. The sides settled for a 0-0 draw.

Tuesday’s ticket presale was about 5,000 for a stadium that holds almost 45,000 for soc-cer. El Salvador’s draw at Gre-nada last week did not exactly energize the fan base, and the final turnout of 6,313 left acres of unoccupied blue seats and bleachers.

Three hours before kick-off, two black-and-white cats took seats in the south end, perfectly content until specta-tors began entering. Then they dashed off to quieter quarters.

Daily rain had left the field mushy and heavy. An Alejan-dro Fernández concert Satur-day added to the field’s stress. On Monday night, when the U.S. team arrived for practice, players and staff found many metal pieces, presumably left from concert operations, scat-tered around the field.

Hard rain just before kickoff compounded the field issues. Within 20 minutes, the right side of Tyler Adams’s white uniform was stained with mud, and the left side of Pu-lisic’s was covered.

“We knew it was going to be a challenging game from a field-condition standpoint,” Berhalter said. “We went to the stadium yesterday and saw the conditions, saw how it was gradually getting worse and knew at game time it wasn’t going to be good. I can only say that I’m really proud of the guys the way they embrace that. They didn’t hesitate. They didn’t complain. They just went about their busi-ness.”

The players stomped through the mud like kids.

“It was definitely fun,” mid-fielder Yunus Musah said. “I just told [a teammate], ‘Yo, let’s just enjoy this. There’s not many matches that are like this, so let’s just enjoy it.’ And yeah, we definitely did.”

Adams said that, during warm-ups, “the pitch actually wasn’t that bad. As soon as it started pouring, like the tor-rential rain, it got muddy real-ly, really quickly - slipping and sliding. We got used to it pretty quickly, and we had to figure it out or else we wouldn’t have gotten that final goal.”

Both teams created half-chances before the hosts went ahead on Larin’s bid from an acute angle well beyond the left side of the penalty area. Horvath was a few steps off his line anticipating a cross, and when Larin targeted the near side, the keeper was left mo-tionless in the six-yard box as

the ball whizzed into the net.It was the first goal conced-

ed by the United States in this four-game stretch following a 3-0 victory over Morocco, a 0-0 draw with Uruguay and a 5-0 rout of Grenada.

Musah could’ve scored the equalizer in the 59th minute with a running one-timer in the box after a sharp buildup, but González made a reflex save.

There were the red cards, a midfield scuffle, U.S. shouts for a penalty kick and general mayhem on a field that in-creasingly yielded its green-ness to brown.

“To see the resiliency from this young group, the way they fought, we’re really proud of them,” Berhalter said. “Al-though we didn’t get the win, it’s a good takeaway and a good end to the June camp. And it really, really brought the guys together in a good way.”

ter limit, center back Walker Zimmerman (foot injury), left back George Bello (coach’s de-cision) and central midfielder Malik Tillman (unspecified injury) were not in uniform. ...

USMNT From B1

Shawn McFarlandThe Dallas Morning News

BROOKLINE, Mass. — It was, as Scottie Scheffler put it, a “really cool year of golf” for him.

No, he wasn’t talking about this current year, in which he’s bloomed from a rising to a bona fide star. He was talking about 2013, when he was still a student at Highland Park High School in University Park, Texas, lighting up the youth golf scene. That year saw him win the U.S. Junior Am-ateur in California, a UIL individual state title in Texas and advance to the

quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass.

“I have good memories of this place,” the 25-year-old Dallas native mused on Tuesday at his U.S. Open pre-tournament press conference.

Back in Brookline this week, back as the world’s top-ranked golfer, back as the reigning Masters champi-on and back in the midst of an equal-ly cool year of golf, Scheffler’s sight is set on a second major championship and a fifth win this season alone.

He’ll tee off at 12:35 p.m. on Thurs-day alongside Brooks Koepka and

Cameron Smith.“I like the challenge,” Scheffler

said of United States Golf Association events. “I think these events are re-ally hard obviously. For me it’s kind of fun just challenging yourself like that.”

Much has changed since that re-ally cool year in 2013. The course in Brookline is among the differences, Scheffler pointed out. But since he lost to Australian Brady Wyatt in the fourth round of that year’s U.S. Ama-teur, Scheffler has become some-thing of a major contender.

He’s finished within the top 10 in four of his last five major champion-ship starts, including a tie for seventh at last year’s U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in California. A Masters cham-pionship in April was the high water-mark. A missed cut at last month’s PGA Championship at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Okla. proved to be the low.

“You can learn anything from fail-ure,” said Scheffler, who shot a 71 and 75 in the first two rounds and missed playing the weekend by two strokes. “That’s always a good learn-ing time. For me, I’m not going to sit

there and be, like, ‘Oh, my gosh, how did this happen? How could I ever miss a cut? What’s going on?’ Just sit-ting back and looking, ‘Well, I could have approached this differently. Mentally, I could have been a little bit different approaching this shot.’ It’s more stuff like that versus, ‘I missed the cut, what am I doing out here?’ “

He returned to Texas the follow-ing weekend and finished second at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, and tied for 18th at the RBC Canadian Open last week.

At U.S. Open, Scottie Scheffler relives good memories, hopes to create more

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA Thursday, June 16, 2022 B5

John RomanoTampa Bay Times

DENVER — Four more wins, and history will come calling.

Four more wins and the Lightning will by-pass the very good, sidestep the merely great and eventually leave their skates where only legends reside.

Four more wins and the Lightning are a gen-uine dynasty.

That’s not official, by the way. There is no ceremony to separate common champions from hockey royalty. But do not, for one mo-ment, debate whether it is appropriate.

Should the Lightning get past the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Final, they will have accomplished something thought to be a relic of bygone days.

Three consecutive championships in an era where parity is not just encouraged but fervent-ly pursued by the NHL’s bylaws. Free agency. The salary cap. Expansion drafts. Four layers of playoffs. These are complications that previous generations never imagined, let alone encoun-tered along the way.

The Hockey Hall of Fame recognizes nine teams as dynasties, beginning with the Ottawa Senators in 1920 and ending with the Edmon-ton Oilers in 1990. The common thread among all nine teams is they won four Stanley Cups within an eight-year period.

Given that criteria, you might say it would be premature to anoint Tampa Bay as a dy-nasty after three titles in only three seasons. Or maybe it’s time to look at this argument with an open mind.

“What Tampa is doing is so impressive in the salary cap era,” said Phil Pritchard, vice presi-dent and curator of the Hall of Fame. “Maybe it’s time to redefine what a dynasty is. I mean, they’re back three straight years, and while they have their core, they’re doing it with different guys every year. So maybe that’s what a dynasty is today.”

Do you think it’s coincidence that some team managed a three-peat in each decade from the 1950s to the 1960s to the 1970s and to the 1980s, but that the trail stops cold in the 1990s once

free agency became part of the NHL’s land-scape?

Forty years have passed since the last team accomplished what the Lightning are hoping to do in the next two weeks. Forty years without a Gretzky, a Lemieux, an Yzerman or an Ovech-kin leading a team to three consecutive Stanley Cup celebrations.

Is that not a clue that we could be seeing something historic in the coming days?

Back when the Senators began their run of titles in the 1920s there were only four teams in the NHL playing a 24-game regular season with a two-game playoff before the Stanley Cup final against the winner of the Western Hockey League or Pacific Coast Hockey Association. And even with that paucity of competition, the Senators never managed to win three Cups in a row.

In fact, only the Maple Leafs (twice), Ca-nadiens (twice) and the Islanders throughout

history have pulled off the three-peat. All are listed among the Hall of Fame’s dynasties be-cause they went on to win a fourth Cup within a short period of time.

I’m not arguing that, should the Lightning win, their rigorous road makes them superior to the Canadiens of the 1970s or the Islanders of the 1980s. But I am arguing that the NHL’s changing circumstances and increased obsta-cles would make the Lightning their equals.

“In order to win you need to have a lot of play-ers who not only were as good as you thought they were, but exceeded expectations. And that means those guys are going to make more money,” said Lightning broadcaster Brian Eng-blom, who was on the postseason roster for the final three of Montreal’s four straight titles from 1976-79. “And that just makes it harder to keep intact. So, yeah, I think what the Lightning have done compares to (Montreal).

“It’s not just the salary cap, but free agency,

too. You go back to those Islanders teams and I think there were 16 guys who were on three of those Cup teams. That’s phenomenal.”

Here’s another way of looking at the stability of New York during its historic run of four con-secutive titles from 1980-83:

The Islanders had 10 players score 35 points or more during the regular season in 1980. All 10 of those players stayed together through-out that four-Cup run, along with goaltender Billy Smith. The only time they lost anyone was when they traded spare parts for future draft picks because they needed to make room for prospects.

Now compare that to the Lightning who lost four players to free agency (Blake Coleman, Barclay Goodrow, Carter Verhaeghe and Kevin Shattenkirk), one to the expansion draft (Yanni Gourde) and two others (Tyler Johnson and Ce-dric Paquette) in trades necessitated by the sal-ary cap.

“I’m just utterly impressed by what they do to win a hockey game,” coach Jon Cooper said. “And they have every excuse in the world not to. Because nobody would fault them. They say, ‘Hey, you won one. You won two.’ And to come back and go for a third?

“It’s probably not the greatest word to use, but I’m damn impressed by this.”

If the NHL and the Hall of Fame and hockey fans around the world are going to compare eras, then we need to be mindful of the unique circumstances each era presents.

In one respect, the Lightning have already exceeded what most of history’s acknowledged dynasties accomplished. Just by reaching a Stanley Cup Final for the third year in a row, Tampa Bay has accumulated 11 consecutive series victories in the postseason.

That’s more than Toronto in the 1940s or Montreal in the 1950s. In fact, it is more than any other franchise other than the Canadiens of the 1970s and the Islanders of the 1980s.

Most of these Lightning players already have rings, have memories, have their names etched on the Stanley Cup. So what is left for them now?

Four more wins, and greatness awaits.

Too soon to wonder if the Lightning can be called a dynasty?

DIRK SHADD/TAMPA BAY TIMES

We’ve seen this movie before. Brayden Point holding the Stanley Cup aloft, and Alex Killorn waving to Tampa Bay Lightning fans after defeating the Montreal Canadiens in the final in 2021. Should they get past the Avalanche in the coming days, the Lightning will be the NHL’s first three-peat winner since the early 1980s.

By Stella WilderBorn today, you may find yourself stumbling

into one opportunity after another through-out your lifetime and being rewarded for that which may not have been intentional at all on your part. That doesn’t mean you don’t deserve such rewards, however! It simply means that while others may plot and plan and work hard to chart a lifelong course for themselves, you are happier letting the wind or the current steer you wherever it will and then taking advantage of the opportunities that are, in a sense, thrust upon you by chance.

You love almost all kinds of games, but more the kind that require full-body involvement rather than the intellectual type that allows you to sit and ponder your next move.

Also born on this date are: Tupac Shakur, rapper; Phil Mickelson, golfer; Stan Laurel, ac-tor and comedian; Geronimo, leader; Joan Van Ark, actress; Joyce Carol Oates, author; Jack Al-bertson, actor; Erich Segal, author.

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

FRIDAY, JUNE 17GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You may be ea-

ger for some kind of revenge, but you don’t want to start something that will turn into an endless cycle. Take the high road.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — What happens to you once during morning hours is likely to shape your thinking about the rest of the day — but certain things may not add up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You and a friend are walking down parallel paths. This is a good time to consider joining forces, since your goals are so very similar.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You may not want others to know what you’ve been doing, but if you come clean, you’ll lighten the burden you’ve been carrying for far too long.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — A conflict that stems from nothing more complicated than dif-fering tastes can easily be resolved today — but you’ll have to make the first move.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — The unexpect-ed is likely to take you down a road that seems fa-miliar, although what you encounter isn’t likely to ring any bells just yet.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — A seem-ing contradiction is something you’re going to have to deal with today before you can settle on a course of action.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — What you’ve recently learned can be put to good use today — provided you sidestep a problem that someone has caused.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You’re going to have to stand tall and avoid flinching today when someone has you in their sights. You must avoid any unplanned reaction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You can do much to keep the lines of communication open today. You may have to rely on an old-fashioned method when technology fails you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You can get a lot done today while waiting for someone to come and let you off the hook. Your situation isn’t as bad as you thought.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — A promise comes your way today that you’re not sure you can rely on because of a situation from your past, which this closely resembles.

Horoscope

Dear Abby,My boyfriend, “Paul,” and I have been to-

gether for 18 months. We are both divorced and each have two children. Mine are in col-lege. His are in elementary and middle school. They stay overnight with him on the weekends.

When they are there, I go home and sleep at my place. Over the last few months, Paul has asked me to stay the night when they are there; however, he wants me to sleep on the couch because they sleep in the bed with him. A few weeks ago, he announced, “I’m going to talk to them about you and me sleeping in my bed together and see if they are OK with that.” Since then, I have heard noth-ing, so I continue going to my own place at night.

My questions are: Is it acceptable for chil-dren to sleep in the same bed with their parent? And, is it acceptable for children to decide if Paul and I sleep together?

Confused in KansasThe answers to your questions are “Yes,” and

“No.” In some cultures, it is common for families to share the same sleeping accommodations, in-cluding a family bed. In our culture, it is less com-mon but not unheard of, particularly with kids much younger than his.

As to your second question, Paul may be un-comfortable raising the subject with his children, or they may have told him they like the status quo and he hasn’t communicated that to you. But they are not the ones who should make that decision. As the adult in the family, that privilege should be his. And after 18 months together, you should be comfortable enough to ask him any-thing.

Dear Abby,Twenty years ago, I had a falling-out with my

siblings and my mother. I was in an emotion-ally and physically abusive marriage. They wanted me to leave, but after seven years of his brainwashing, I was convinced that I was worthless, that no one cared about me but him

and that I would end up on the street alone and unable to live without him. My siblings in-vited me out to visit them and proceeded to browbeat me into leaving him. After three nights of six-hour sessions of being berated and hearing I was a ter-rible mother for staying with

him, it was almost a relief to go home to my husband. At least there I expected it.

Long story short, I haven’t spoken to my family in 20 years. I escaped that marriage five years ago, and my mother and I slowly began rebuilding a relationship over Facebook -- I’m in Michigan, and she’s in New York. Three months ago, she passed away.

One of my siblings unfriended me and my daughter from my mother’s Facebook before they posted that she passed away. I heard the news from one of my friends who was also FB friends with my mother. Someone I know is saying I should reach out to my siblings and try to rebuild a relationship. What are your thoughts?

Like an Only ChildThat your siblings would unfriend you and

your daughter from your mother’s Facebook page so you wouldn’t know she was gone was cruel, unnecessary and shameful. If you want to reach out to your siblings, by all means do so, but before you do that, please talk with a li-censed mental health professional or your reli-gious adviser, if you have one. You have suffered much pain and rejection from your abusive husband, and you may encounter more from your siblings, so before you approach them, be prepared.

Long time British star Tony Priday was South,

in today’s deal. Priday represented Great Britain in international play many times between 1961 and 2006. He was renowned for his gentlemanly demeanor at the table in addition to his sparkling play. He was 82 years old at the time he played this deal. Priday and his partner were using the weak no trump, which is overwhelmingly popular in Great Britain. The opening bid showed 12-14 points.

The opening diamond lead went to East’s jack and Priday’s ace. Had Priday led a trump at this point, which seems like the normal play, he would have been defeated. East would have won and returned a diamond for West to ruff. West would exit with a club and the defense would eventually come to a spade trick and a diamond trick for down one.

Suspecting that the opening lead might have been a singleton, Priday had the foresight to eliminate clubs before leading trumps. He cashed the king of clubs, led a club to dummy’s ace, and ruffed a club. He now led a heart to East’s ace and East returned a diamond for West to ruff. Thanks to Priday’s foresight, West was forced to lead a spade, setting up Priday’s king, or yield a ruff-sluff. Priday had his contract either way. Very well played!
