Dryden Dairy Day theme announced

Dryden Town Talk
Cathy Wakeman
Guest columnist

The past week’s weather teased us

with spring, but I have sure fire evidence
that summer is on the way. Brenda Car-
penter sent word that this year’s Dairy
Day theme has been released.
The announcement came amid the
good news that Dryden Dairy Day re-
ceived the Ag Promotion Award from
the New York State Agricultural Society.
Brenda says, “The award, sponsored by
Alpha Zeta Fraternity at Cornell Univer-
sity, Kreher’s Farm Fresh Eggs, and the
NY FFA Foundation, recognizes individ-
uals and groups for their efforts to im-
prove the understanding of agriculture
in New York State.”
Dairy Day, Dryden’s signature annual
celebration of our agricultural roots and
heritage, is a 35 year old tradition of pa-
rade floats, cow kissing, 10 cent milk
and a day full of community fun.

#MeToo
Continued from Page 1A
group to fight this maltreatment of
female workers. They called themselves
Working Women United, and published
a newsletter, aptly named Labor Pains.
A year after Wood’s departure, while
testifying before the Commission on
Human Rights in New York City in April
1975 fellow WWU organizer and Cor-
nell’s then-director of the women’s sec-
tion of the Human Affairs Program, Lin
Farley, named the “totally undeveloped
issue that everyone knows about” that
plagued Wood and others: sexual ha-
rassment.
It was the first time such a phrase had
been uttered, but Farley’s definition —
“unwanted sexual advances against
women employees by male supervisors,
bosses, foremen or managers” — struck
a chord with women everywhere.
Generating change
WWU organized a sexual harass-
ment “speak out” event at the Greater
Ithaca Activities Center weeks after
Farley’s testimony. A modest turnout
was expected.
Nearly 300 women came out to the
event, telling eerily similar stories as the
one Wood lived for years.
Wood, herself, wrote of the experi-
ences she heard from fellow working
women in a 1975 op-ed published in The
Ithaca Journal: women who had “ner-
vous breakdowns” at work due to the re-
peated harassment, women who were
pinched, women who were denied pro-
motions and women who were raped.
“A rapist quite often uses a gun or a
knife — sometimes only brute strength,”
Wood wrote. “A male boss or supervisor
uses his economic power to hire and fire
as his weapon.”
The problem, Wood wrote in 1975,
“crosses all boundaries.” Farley, in her
New York City testimony, told the com-
mission, “It is literally epidemic.”
That summer, the issue went nation-
wide. The August 1975 New York Times
headline “Women Begin to Speak Out
Against Sexual Harassment at Work”
was splashed across newspapers from
coast to coast. It was the first time the
phrase had been printed in the news for
such a large audience.
Those two words united women and
validated their experiences in the work-
place. What had been previously ac-
cepted as a side effect of female exis-
tence was now understood to be an ill-
ness itself.
More than words
Daniel Manne, a lawyer with legal ex-
pertise in sex equality and Title IV law
who also teaches at Cornell, said the
coining of the term, itself was “revolu-
tionary” and its effect on women’s rights
“hard to overstate.”
“This was a ubiquitous phenomenon,
but we didn’t have a word for it,” Manne
said. “Until we had a word, it was just
what it was to be a woman in the work-
force.”
Ileen DeVault, academic director of
The Worker Institute at Cornell and Pro-
fessor of Labor Relations, Law and His-
tory, said sexual harassment has been a
reality of female employees since wom-
en entered the workforce decades ago. A
large contributing factor to the preva-
lence of sexual harassment is the nature
of what have been historically consid-
ered women’s jobs: clerical or service
work, usually reporting to male supervi-
sors.
In those positions, DeVault said,
women were expected to heed to their
bosses’ and coworkers every wishes,
acting as the “office wife.”
That expectation of servitude from
working women, and some powerful
men’s inclination to assert dominance,
can create an environment in which it is
easy for male employers to take advan-
tage of subordinate women. That gen-
der dynamic in the workplace, DeVault
said, largely has not changed up until
today.
The dynamic has been in place in
work environments for so long, DeVault
said, it is sometimes even expected that
working women “see it coming” or are
“asking for it.”
“I think there are assumptions like:
‘This is the way it is, and you knew this
would happen. You agreed to do this
job,’” DeVault said. “Therefore, women
should put up with the groping or expo-
sure or even sexual assault that these
men are doing.
“Because, ‘Come on. You know this
happens.’ ”
That ingrained gendered work dy-
namic is why, like all wildfires, the
spread of sexual harassment awareness
inspired by Wood and Farley began to
cool with time.

The fight continues
By the mid ‘70s, things had changed.
The term “sexual harassment” existed.
Workers and bosses alike knew what it
was and where lines were crossed. Sex-
ual harassment became recognized as a
form of sex discrimination, violating the
Civil Rights Act of 1964.
But the problem didn’t disappear.
Then, over 40 years later — a spark.
The New York Times published a bomb-
shell story last October on Hollywood
mogul Harvey Weinstein’s decades-
long pattern of sexual misconduct.
Again, the words “sexual harassment”
glared from headlines across the coun-
try.
And 2017 had what 1975 did not: so-
cial media. Ten days after the Times’ re-
port, actress Alyssa Milano tweeted to
encourage her followers to reply, “Me
too” (a phrase first coined by activist Ta-
rana Burke over a decade ago) if they
had been sexually harassed or assault-
ed. Within 24 hours, millions of users
had posted the now famous phrase on
both Facebook and Twitter.
Again, two words became a war cry
of solidarity among women. This time,
it didn’t take months to reach a national
audience; it took mere hours to reach
one that was global.
“The power of social media is that it
allows people to use their voice in a way
that otherwise they wouldn’t have,”
Manne said of the #MeToo social media
movement. “It’s not something that
women deal with on their own silently
anymore.”
“I mean, a lot of them still do,” he add-
ed, “but at least this is a tool for women
to say, ‘Hey, this happened. It’s [exple-
tive] up and it’s way more common than
you think it is.”
The movement swelled, and more
and more stories about brutal work-
place sexual harassment began pouring
out. Now, four months after The Times’
initial expose of Hollywood, fields like
media, tech and politics have been bro-
ken open, their ugly insides revealed to
anyone with an iPhone.
More than Hollywood
Manne said not all industries have
received the same scrutiny, and not all
demographics have seen the same sup-
port. This, Manne said, is a major fault
he sees with the #MeToo movement.
Manne pointed to the case of former
Alabama Senate Candidate Roy Moore,
and his eight sexual assault accusers.
Those women’s stories, Manne noted,
were pursued fiercely by The Washing-
ton Post.
“But how many women get ap-
proached by newspapers asking for
their stories?” Manne asked.
Less attention is paid to the stories
from women who work in blue collar po-
sitions, or from women of color or wom-
en who are undocumented, Manne said.
“There are intersections with class,
there are intersections with profession
and then obviously, there are intersec-
tions with race,” Manne said. “We
haven’t even begun to address that yet,
really.”
And that’s not the only fault of the
#MeToo movement, Manne said. For
true social, economic and political
equality of the sexes, Manne said there
needs to be institutional, societal
change.
“I think there are
assumptions like: ‘This is the
way it is, and you knew this
would happen. You agreed
to do this job.’ Therefore,
women should put up with
the groping or exposure or
even sexual assault that
these men are doing.
Because, ‘Come on. You
know this happens.’ ”
Ileen DeVault

at Cornell and Professor of Labor Relations,
Law and History
Knee-jerk reactions
Instead, right now, what Manne sees
is a trend of outing each individual per-
petrator — not a bad thing, he said, but
also not a long-term solution.
“You can keep tossing out the bad ac-
tors as you find them, and then they’re
just replaced,” Manne said. “It could
never solve the problem. It’s like paying
whack-a-mole.”
As far as the necessary cultural
change,” Manne said, “[the #MeToo
movement] has the potential to do that,
and I’m hopeful. But I haven’t seen it
yet.”
What are some of these changes
Manne hopes to see? First, Manne said
it can help to be more empathetic to
women who do come forward with their
experiences of sexual harassment or as-
sault, and to create an environment
where they feel comfortable enough to
do so.
“Society tends to have a sort of knee-
jerk response in favor of the men, to try
to minimize what they’ve done,” Manne
said. “But they tend to examine the vic-
tim and search for ad-hoc rationaliza-
tions for discounting [their stories].”
An example of this, Manne said, is
the public’s response to recent sexual
allegations made against actor and co-
median Aziz Ansari.
“Because we like Aziz Ansari and we
don’t know about her, we tend to try to
draw the narrative in a way that miti-
gates it,” Manne said.
This principle extends into the work-
place and more specifically, human re-
sources departments, Manne said.
Women often don’t come forward be-
cause of fear of retribution at work, or
they don’t push onward with allegations
because of how HR treats their claim.
“The person’s job isn’t to take sides,”
Manne said. “You don’t have to decide
whether she’s telling truth or not. You
don’t have to judge. It’s not an adjudica-
tive process. It’s not a him versus her
situation.”
He continued, “If you just listen and
validate the experience, not only can
that lead to better outcomes just in
terms of what happens in the work-
place, but psychologically that’s ex-
traordinarily valuable.”
Continue speaking up
DeVault echoed Manne’s statement,
saying it’s important for women to con-
tinue coming forward with their experi-
ences of assault — and for men to join in
on the conversation and begin taking
responsibility for their actions.
“It would be great to see even more
men really step up and acknowledge not
even so much their personal responsi-
bility, but sort of their responsibility as
men,” DeVault said.
And Devault said, to see more women
in positions of power — rising to the top
of workplaces and in government —
could affect change to the culture.
Another way to combat sexual ha-
rassment, Manne said, would be to
toughen the consequences of sexual ha-
rassment for individuals and their com-
panies.
Sexual harassment is not a crime, but
a civil matter — a tort — Manne ex-
plained. While he said he would not rec-
ommend making sexual harassment a
crime because it could prevent women
from coming forward, he said harsher
consequences for those sued for sexual
harassment could help to end the cycle.
“It needs to cost businesses more in a
pure economic analysis sense,” Manne
said. “They should be afraid of the con-
sequences of not taking this seriously
for financial reasons, because moral
reasons should be enough, but they’re
clearly not.”
And lastly, Manne said he hopes that
the conversation remains focused on
women and their experiences — not on
the perspective of men.
In the case of a sexual assault accu-
sation, Manne said, “We can have con-
versations about whether or not they in-
tended anything by it. We can have con-
versations about how blame worthy
they are. We can try to decide whether
or not to fix the label ‘sexist’ or ‘misogy-
nist’ on them. They’re all arguments we
can have.”
But, he said, these arguments are
distractions from what should be the
forefront of the conversation: how sexu-
al harassment effects women.
“It doesn’t matter whether it was in-
tentional or not,” Manne said. “Who
cares whether we call them a sexist or
not. If it is psychologically or profes-
sionally damaging to her, let’s talk
about. That that’s what matters.”

OUR TURN

Cuomo must show ads are working

What is our return on investment?
That is the question Gov. Andrew Cuomo should
answer before another penny is spent on television
ads declaring that New York state is open for business.
Since 2012, taxpayers have been throwing a lot of pen-
nies into this marketing campaign. Last year, the cost
reached $70 million, up from $50 million the year be-
fore. So far, Cuomo has been unable to adequately
demonstrate the expense is paying off.
In fact, he has done the opposite. A 2015 audit by the
state Comptroller showed the advertising produced
“no tangible results.” But, the spending continued, and
there seems to be no end in sight. Cuomo is proposing
a cut in advertising for the upcoming fiscal year, to help
close a $4.4 billion budget gap. But, that still leaves
millions of dollars going toward an initiative that any
sound business leader would seriously question.
According to the audit, state economic develop-
ment officials have not identified benchmarks for suc-
cess, and Cuomo has not produced any — despite
mounting criticism over the questionable use of tax-
payer money. The state has not clearly defined whom
the ads are targeting, what metrics it is measuring,
how it is monitoring results, or what the final out-
comes are.
Most businesses would not conduct a marketing
campaign without a solid process in place to deter-
mine if the campaign is worth the big bucks — or if it’s
simply a big waste of money. If Cuomo were a market-
ing manager, he would be out of job if he could not
demonstrate beyond doubt that the ads work.
Even setting quantifiable results aside, the spend-
ing is not producing anecdotal success either. Last
year, after a six-month investigation, our Albany bu-
reau found that the state is consistently falling far be-
hind on job-creation promises, and the labor force out-
side of New York City continues to shrink. In Roches-
ter, it is painfully evident that being open for business
doesn’t necessarily mean they will come.
It is also obvious that businesses need more than
feel good commercials and a catchy slogan to decide to
put down roots here. There are 49 other states that are
open for business, too. They might not be shouting it
out loud on television, but businesses know they can
weigh a lot of options — and they do.
New York, on the other hand, does seem to be hav-
ing tangible success with its tourism ad campaigns to
promote seasonal attractions. The number of visitors
is soaring to new records, and New York City residents
are venturing upstate more often. While increased
transparency and greater documentation of results
would not hurt, this spending is of lesser concern than
the greater amount designated for economic develop-
ment ads.
New York State Senate Republicans are right to
scrutinize these ads. Taxpayers deserve it.

Democrat & Chronicle.

Solving shooter problem will take real work

Your Turn
Sloan Sheridan-Thomas
Guest columnist

There is a quote that “the pen is mightier than the

sword,” but is it mightier than the gun?
We already know the answer to that: It is not. It does
not matter how many words are written or spoken about
gun violence. It does not matter the age of those mur-
dered with guns. It does not matter where those mur-
ders take place. Lives in the United States do not matter.
It is a clear conclusion to draw. Our right to bear arms,
any type of arms, as many arms as we’d like, regardless
of our mental health, is more important than life.
We always ask the question: Why? What was the
shooter’s motivation? Perhaps we hope that the answer
will inform what action we take, but it doesn’t and it
won’t.
We already know the answer to why but we don’t like
it. The answer is that our culture, our schools, our par-
enting, and our American way of life are not working for
our young people. We know what children need; it has
been studied, researched and published. They need at-
tention; they need to feel valued. They need meaningful

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Court decision could hurt unions, workers
On Feb. 26, the Supreme Court is hearing argu-
ments on Janus vs AFSCME, a case powered by cor-
porate greed. Big business wants what it’s always
wanted: to take power away from unions and divide
workers who are fighting for fair treatment. Regard-
less of how this case turns out — and it doesn’t look
good — I am confident that unions and workers in the
Ithaca area will remain strong.
As one of the faculty members at Ithaca College
who recently fought for a union and a fair contract, I
have seen the energy and determination of people
who know that unity can make a difference. The
Gimme Coffee baristas are another recent success
story, part of the inspiring movement of service and
hospitality workers demanding their rights.
I see worker power all around us, especially
among young people who know that building a union
is a step towards addressing the issues that matter:
immigrants’ rights, climate justice and health care, to
name a few.
If the Supreme Court does big favors for big busi-
ness, you’ll hear people saying that unions have lost.
But I have more faith in our grassroots than that.
Workers can and will fight this. We’re just getting
started.

Poor districts require BOCES aid
ing, transportation and BOCES aids, starting in 2019.
These expense-driven aid caps would once again
harm the neediest districts in the state. Who uses
transportation aid most? Rural districts. Who uses
BOCES aid most? Poor, rural districts. Everyone relies
on building aid, but the cap, which in the case of build-
ing aid applies statewide rather than districtwide, will
make it less likely for voters to approve projects, be-
cause there will be no guarantee that the burden won’t
fall mainly on the local property taxpayer.
If districts X and Y are doing gigantic projects fea-
turing state-of-the-art gyms and auditoriums, there is
less of a chance that district Z will get state aid for its
new roof and boiler. Who will issue a bond for district
Z’s project when the source of the funding is unclear?
This is a pleasant bone tossed to anti-tax constitu-
ents with damaging, real-life repercussions for chil-
dren, especially rural children in poorer districts. Call
your state senator today and urge him or her to fight
the expense-driven aid caps. Call the governor, too.

Try ‘no-excuse’ absentee ballot
America’s dismal voter participation rate? Early
DOONESBURY
voting is not the solution.
Yes, the U.S. voter participation rate is startlingly
low. But why? Addressing the question of motivation
is one approach (campaign season seems endless;
money should not be “speech”; “fake news” totally
muddies the waters); another is making it easier to
vote. Good government groups (plus now Gov. Andrew
Cuomo) are currently promoting and calling “early
voting” the solution.
But on top of its greater cost (by requiring polling
places to be open and staffed more than one day) early
voting has a serious built-in flaw. Given the very real
possibility of late-breaking real news about a candi-
date that could and should affect your vote, if you have
already voted “early” you can’t undo and change that
vote.
A better and cheaper solution is for the state to al-
low — and you to use — a “no-excuse” absentee ballot.
Currently in New York, you can only use an absentee
ballot if you physically cannot vote on election day.
Changing the law to allow you to use an absentee ballot
that you can simply deliver or mail in on election
solves the problem.

‘How it’ll play out over time, we’ll see’
In lengthy and candid
interview, departing UR
President Joel Seligman
explains decision to leave
Brian Sharp
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
USA TODAY NETWORK
From his first days leading the Uni-
versity of Rochester, Joel Seligman sig-
naled his tenure would be different.
He embraced UR’s place as the area’s
largest private employer, abandoning
its historically insular focus to claim a
leadership role in the community —
spurring development in the 19th Ward
and South Wedge, taking over a failing
East High School, and helping shape
economic development across greater
Rochester.
His decision to resign, effective Feb.
28, was, at its core, made with the desire
that those and other efforts not be de-
railed.
Yet while his tenure will be defined by
UR’s pivot to embrace the larger com-
munity, “there was a sense (in recent
months) we were almost besieged,” he
said in an interview this past week.
Seligman spoke one-on-one with the
Democrat and Chronicle on a range of
topics, from what led to his departure,
whether others should step down, and
the impact on UR.
The siege began, at least on a public
scale, last September with an explosive
report in Mother Jones detailing alleged
sexual misconduct by a professor in
UR’s prestigious Brain and Cognitive
Sciences (BCS) department, and how
complainants faced retaliation from an
unresponsive administration. It ebbed
last month, with an outside investiga-
tion commissioned by UR trustees fault-
ing school officials for poor judgment
but largely vindicating UR, saying many
of the claims were baseless or exagger-
ated.
Seligman resigned, nonetheless, tak-
ing some comfort, he said, in data show-
ing “very little impact” on fundraising
and enrollment. Overall, both were up
as of last month, with some exceptions
— including PhD applications to BCS,
which dropped for the second straight
year, posting a precipitous 38 percent
decline in the most recent period.
“How it’ll play out over time, we’ll
see,” Seligman said of the trends overall.
He has said the turning point for him,
personally, was a campus town hall a
week after the story broke. The tireless
executive with an unassuming nature,
whom colleagues say is strong in advo-
cating his positions but keenly focused
on building consensus, would, in the
days and weeks that followed, be criti-
cized as aloof, permissive, wedded to
process and out of touch. The president
who found his greatest personal fulfill-
ment in a pastoral role, supporting col-
leagues in times of tumult, would be
faulted for his silence.
Seligman said he had intended to re-
main on the job at least through 2020.
He is the only senior UR official to step
down in the wake of the scandal. And in
his mind, that is sufficient.
“The people who are still in place I
think have done a good job and should
continue,” he said — speaking not about
embattled professor Florian Jaeger, who
remains on administrative leave, but
expressing confidence in UR’s senior
leadership team.
Interim President Rich Feldman “will
have his own judgments about how he
wants to proceed,” Seligman said. “But I
know he started with some really im-
pressive quality people with whom to
work.” What’s more, he said, he trusts
Feldman “or, someday, a new president,
will continue at least the kind of pro-
jects that were begun.”
“The history books will tell about the
many wonderful things that Joel creat-
ed, developed and built in the last 12
years,” said friend and colleague Danny
Wegman, when introducing Seligman
for his farewell address on Feb. 13.
Wegman, chairman of Wegmans
Food Markets, worked hand in hand
with Seligman as the founding leaders
of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s economic de-
velopment council for the Finger Lakes
region. Both were recruited by then-Lt.
Gov. Robert Duffy, who now serves in
the role of council co-chair and as presi-
dent and CEO of the Greater Rochester
Chamber of Commerce.
“He certainly had a lot of influence,
but he did not wave it around like a
baseball bat,” Duffy said of Seligman.
“When he announced his resignation
there were a lot of voices I expected to
hear from that I did not hear from,” Duf-
fy said, noting that he and Wegman
were among the few who put them-
selves forward to herald Seligman’s
achievements.

more the wonkish law college dean and
securities law expert that he was when
he arrived on the Rochester scene.
He set out to raise the university’s
profile, grow the endowment and, nota-
bly, strengthen its ties to the region. And
that he did.
UR grew into the seventh-largest pri-
vate employer in New York state, out-
side of New York City, while increasing
its enrollment and more than doubling
its endowment.
The university undertook, planned or
completed 29 new facilities over the
past 12 years, including the new Golisa-
no Children’s Hospital and expanding
Eastman Theatre. UR Medicine was two
hospitals when he arrived, and it now
has five in its system plus other clinics
and affiliates.
What set him apart was that he also
looked outward.
Under Seligman, the university com-
mitted itself to some entrenched city
and regional problems ranging from
poverty to neighborhood disinvestment
as major employers like Eastman Kodak
Co., Xerox and Baush+Lomb fell away.
“I saw him as having a very wide view
of what matters in a region and feeling a
personal and professional responsibil-
ity of needing to step up,” said Heidi
Zimmer-Meyer, president of the Roch-
ester Downtown Development Corp.
In doing so, he brought the weight of
the university, its influence, its credibil-
ity, its expertise, its people to bear. As
co-chair of the nine-county economic
council, “no one did more to set the
agenda for regional economic plans,”
said Vinnie Esposito, regional director
for Empire State Development in the
Finger Lakes.
State and local officials say Selig-
man’s involvement was critical on vari-
ous fronts, from prioritizing the revital-
ization of Eastman Business Park and
landing a national photonics research
hub in Rochester (he later got entangled
in what, in hindsight, was a fruitless
spat over where to locate the headquar-
ters) to launching the Rochester-Mon-
roe Anti-Poverty Initiative and the
opening of the NextCorps business in-
cubator downtown.
NextCorps, formerly High Tech
Rochester, is a standalone community
nonprofit affiliated with UR, and Selig-
man strongly backed the downtown in-
cubator as it rose to a priority project of
the regional council. But his support
was not automatic, recalled NextCorps

By the numbers
The University of Rochester saw signifi-
cant growth under the leadership of
President Joel Seligman, and his com-
pensation grew commensurately to
nearly $1.3 million as of 2015, the most
recent records available. That ranks
among the Top 50 for private university
presidents nationally and well above
average for similar institutions, accord-
ing to The Chronicle of Higher Educa-
tion‘s latest report on executive com-
pensation.

President James Senall. There were
many conversations, “about how is this
going to work? Where is the money go-
ing to come from? Is it sustainable?
What impact is it really going to have?”
NextCorps is now seen as one of the
anchors of a reborn Sibley Square and
the burgeoning Downtown Innovation
Zone aimed at attracting startups and
high-tech businesses, as well as millen-
nials, to the Center City.
“Look at the leadership of the univer-
sity over the past five decades,” said
Zimmer-Meyer, herself a UR alumna
whose father taught at the medical cen-
ter. “Joel Seligman was unique.”
Crossing the bridge
Seligman’s first official day on the job
was in June 2005. One of his first acts
was to phone Dana Miller and invite him
to breakfast.
“At that point, I wasn’t an elected offi-
cial or anything. I was a guy volunteer-
ing in the community, trying to see if we
could get this project done,” Miller said.
The project, known today as Brooks
Crossing, is a mixed-use development
that aimed to rejuvenate the 19th Ward,
a neighborhood in need of investment
then as now. Talk of the project had be-
gun in the late 1970s and the first plan
for the area dated from 1983-84.
“We had already been through three
UR presidents at that point,” Miller re-
called, noting a key aspect of the project
was a symbolic but significant commit-
ment from UR to cross the Genesee Riv-
er, promising first offices then students
to fill commercial and residential devel-
opment. “We were really nervous if this
new president would have the same
support and feeling of connectivity that
we had only recently started to get.”
At breakfast in Seligman’s office, the
new president asked Miller for a neigh-
borhood tour. He would bring his
daughter and later arrange for a group
trip to Philadelphia where she attended
college to see how that city and the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania worked togeth-
er.
All this made a strong opening state-
ment, Miller said, notably with little or
no direct financial outlay by UR.
“When I arrived, we were already the
leading employer in town,” Seligman
said. “And we had the capacity to be a
constructive neighbor. I think we had
been a little too isolated. The reality is a
modern research university can’t be
apart from its community.”
UR not only committed to the end
product, it helped neighbors lobby gov-
ernment leaders, and the city lobby
state and federal agencies. More pri-
vately developed student housing fol-
lowed. UR steered faculty and staff to
the 19th Ward and South Wedge through
first-time homebuyer assistance grants.
Then came College Town on Mt. Hope
Boulevard in the South Wedge.
“He wanted a successful campus that
bled into the community, and he treated
it as one,” Mayor Lovely Warren said,
mirroring a shift in focus she has seen in
university presidents across the coun-
try. “He has done a great job at building
those bridges to industries and commu-
nities that wasn’t there ... and we are
seeing new breath being (breathed) into
those communities.”
Said Miller, who in the years since
was elected to City Council, and today is
the city’s director of development ser-
vices: “The thing that always surprises
me is when I talk to people in the neigh-
borhood they say, ‘Isn’t it nice that the
university built all of this?’ ... And they
didn’t build any of it.
“But they certainly helped make it
happen.”
‘There is no exit’
Possibly the greatest challenge Selig-
man and UR took on, crossing a river of a
different sort, came in 2014 when the
university was drafted to try to fix East
High.
“East was the lowest performing
school, in the lowest performing district
in the state. If that’s not risk taking, I
don’t know what is,” said Shaun Nelms,
whom Seligman sought out to oversee
the experiment.
Nelms was perfectly happy as deputy
superintendent in Greece, having left
city schools frustrated with systemic
challenges, vowing never to return. He
also is a UR alumnus. He was invited to
meet with Seligman and a handful of
other school officials and, at one point,
Seligman cleared the room — save for
Nelms.
He prodded: “If not you, who? If not
now, when?” He spoke of it as a moral
mission. He promised unfettered access
to UR, from medical staff to budget ex-
perts to volunteers and interns, to men-
tors, and to himself.
Seligman gave Nelms his home and
cell number. Once hired, Nelms met
with Seligman twice a month for the
first year. Seligman would call. He
would visit. And he would question,
Nelms said, asking not just about the
school but about how it was impacting
the challenged community beyond its
walls.
“When I say he supported this, it
wasn’t just by word,” Nelms said. “He
was as involved at East as anyone at the
university.”
Asked about East, Seligman ex-
plained: “I looked upon this as a human
tragedy. There were lives being lost.”
And why UR? “There was no one else.”
That is not to say that UR blindly, or
even quickly, went all in, as city school
board President Van White recalls his
initial overtures were rejected. It was
studied, planned.
“This is going to be a long process,”
Seligman said, calling it both a success,
an experiment, and “an incredible chal-
lenge” — representing perhaps the most
important work for an education college
this century.
“Whether or not we will be equal to
the finest suburban high schools in the
country, I don’t know,” Seligman said.
“But what I do know is it will be measur-
ably better. What does that really mean?
Hundreds of lives will be transformed.”
There are signs of success. The four-
year graduation rate, projected at 19 per-
cent when Nelms arrived three years
ago, rose to 33 percent that year, and is
expected to be just below or above 60
percent for the current senior class,
Nelms said. There is a marked increase
in math and English proficiency, and in
attendance. Suspensions have fallen
from 2,600 in 2014-15 to 470 last year.
“People ask, ‘Now that Joel is gone, is
that going to hurt East?’” Nelms said.
“My answer is, ‘No. Because Joel never
made it about him.”
A native of New York City, Seligman
plans to return there this summer,
spending a one-year sabbatical at Co-
lumbia University to work on a book
about financial regulation before re-
turning to UR to teach.
“There is no end, because it’s not
about him,” Nelms said. “There is no ex-
it, because his work still continues.”

Charges dropped for

hunter who thought
neighbor was deer
Victoria E. Freile
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
USA TODAY NETWORK
Charges filed against a Southern
Tier hunter accused of fatally shooting
his neighbor have been dropped.
Chautauqua County District Attor-
ney Patrick Swanson said the second-
degree manslaughter charge against
Thomas B. Jadlowski, 34, of Sherman,
Chautauqua County was dismissed.
According to the state
Department of Environ-
mental Conservation,
Jadlowski on Nov. 22
opened fire around 5:20
p.m. on what he thought
was a deer, but turned
Thomas B. out to be his neighbor out
Jadlowski walking her dogs.
Rosemary Billquist,
43, was walking her two yellow Labra-
dors in a field about 150 yards away
from her home when she was struck in
the hip by a .35-caliber hunting pistol
round fired by Jadlowski, who was
about 200 yards away, according to po-
lice. He heard her screams and called
911.
According to the DEC, Jadlowski
also administered first aid until emer-
gency responders arrived.
Billquist, a hospital worker and hos-
pice volunteer, was transported to a
medical center in Erie, Pennsylvania,
where she died from her injuries.
Sunset in Chautauqua County on
Nov. 22 was 4:51 p.m. Under state law,
big game hunting hours are sunrise to
sunset.
On Wednesday, Chautauqua County
Judge David Foley dismissed the
charge.
Foley had an issue with how Swan-
son had instructed grand jury members
when they asked questions. Specifical-
ly, members of the grand jury wanted to
know if there was a lesser charge that
could potentially apply to the case.
Swanson said Foley’s decision was
based on a legal technicality that he
does not agree with.
While appealing the decision is an
option, Swanson said that process can
take months, with no guarantee the
outcome would be any different. He
said he’s leaning toward re-presenting
the case to a Chautauqua County grand
jury. He said he expects to make that
decision within the week.
“It’s not like he’s just going to walk
away, and it’s over, and he got off on
all charges. It’s not that. He reassured
me that they’re working on it. They’re
going to go back in, and he just told
me that everything’s going to be
good, no worries. Things are going to
be good, and we will get justice.”
Jamie Billquist
Rosemary Billquist’s husband
“It’s not like he’s just going to walk
away, and it’s over, and he got off on all
charges,” Rosemary Billquist’s hus-
band Jamie Billquist said. “It’s not that.
He reassured me that they’re working
on it. They’re going to go back in, and he
just told me that everything’s going to
be good, no worries. Things are going to
be good, and we will get justice.”
Jamie Billquist is planning two me-
morial runs to honor his wife, to be held
in June.
“She was just vibrant, and caring,
and kind, and never angry, and lifted up
everybody’s spirits and just she was an
awesome person,” says Jamie Billquist.
“I miss her every second of the day be-
cause were together for 27 years. She
was not only my wife, but my best
friend.”

The worst flu season in a decade is
still not over, with 13 new deaths of
children reported after more than

schools “a much harder target” for

defense of an idea opposed by law en-

“When we declare our schools to be

Minutes after slamming the Florida
sheriff ’s deputy who failed to stop last
week’s mass shooting in Parkland,
Florida, as either a “coward” or some-
one who froze under extreme pres-

who actually know the students would
do a better job defending them.

Charges dropped against Cortland meth convict

Anthony Borrelli
Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin
USA TODAY NETWORK
Acting on an anonymous tip, a Cort-
land County Sheriff ’s deputy arrived at
the scene of an active meth lab inside
the garage of a Cortlandville residence.
Three people were arrested in the June
13, 2014 incident, and a jury found each
of them guilty.
On Thursday, a mid-level state ap-
peals court reversed the conviction and
dropped all charges against one of those
suspects, Terry L. Maricle, by saying
there was insufficient evidence to con-
vict him.
Maricle, 45, had been sentenced in
2015 in Cortland County Court to spend
nine years in state prison after being
convicted of felony counts of second-

The Great War caught up to US,

One hundred years ago, the Great

War caught up to the United States and
with people from Tomkins County. In
1918 the war quota for the county identi-
fied men to join the effort.
Many had joined up voluntarily be-
fore the first call-up, going to camps
around the country to train for the com-
ing battle. One of those was Royden
Vose, an Ithaca surgeon, who went off to
Fort Oglethorpe in Georgia for basic
training. Others left from Cornell taking
military leaves of absence from their
studies. Victor Daly, a black student,
was assigned to a segregated officer-
training unit. Men from around the
county were assigned to a variety of
bases in the United States before head-

Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky speaks Thursday in San Francisco. “You realize over time that you
do have to take more responsibility for your platform; you have to be hands on; you have to make
judgments,” Chesky says. ERIC RISBERG/AP
Airbnb unveils new category
of rentals rated by inspectors
Michael Liedtke
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO – Airbnb is dispatching inspec-
tors to rate thousands of the properties listed on its
home-rental service in an effort to reassure travelers
they’re booking nice places to stay.
The Plus program, unveiled Thursday, is aimed at
winning over travelers who aren’t sure they can trust
the current rating system drawn from the opinions
posted by past guests. The misleading pictures drawn
by Airbnb’s rating system have become a big enough
problem to spawn a website devoted to horror stories
spanning from an overcrowded, dirty “hippy com-
mune” in Pasadena, California, to a Paris vacation
ruined in a moldy, bug-infested apartment.
“You realize over time that you do have to take more
responsibility for your platform; you have to be hands-
on; you have to make judgments,” Airbnb CEO Brian
Chesky said in an interview with the Associated Press.
The hands-on touch built into the Plus program
comes 10 years after Chesky and his former roommate
started Airbnb in a San Francisco apartment in hopes
of bringing in more money to pay their own rent.
Airbnb’s internal surveys have found nearly three-
fourths of the travelers on its service are willing to pay
more for inspector-certified properties, allowing
homeowners and apartment dwellers to quickly re-
coup a $149 fee to participate in Plus.
Inspectors will review properties based on a 100-
point checklist covering everything from the speed of
the Wi-Fi to the comfort of the bedding. Properties
that fail can still be part of Airbnb’s regular listings; the
company will also offer advice on improvements to
qualify.
The program will initially cover about 2,000 proper-
ties in 13 cities — Austin, Texas; Barcelona, Spain;
Cape Town, South Africa; Chicago; Los Angeles; Lon-
don; Melbourne, Australia; Milan; Rome; San Francis-
co; Shanghai; Sydney; and Toronto. That’s a small
fraction of the roughly 4.5 million properties listed on
Airbnb in 81,000 cities worldwide. By the end of the

year, Chesky foresees verifying 75,000 homes in 50
cities.
Airbnb is shaking things up at a time its growth has
been slowing, a trend the company would like to re-
verse before it sells its stock in an initial public offering
expected within the next two years. Despite its pop-
ularity, Airbnb remains unprofitable, with a loss of
$75 million on revenue of nearly $2.6 billion last year,
according to financial statements reviewed by The
Wall Street Journal.
During a presentation in San Francisco, Chesky an-
nounced other steps designed to make Airbnb more
like a traditional hospitality company instead of an in-
dustry renegade that has siphoned business away
from major hotels. Frequent travelers will qualify for
discounts and other perks. The company is also add-
ing other rental categories, including bed-and-break-
fast inns and boutique hotels.
A major hotel industry group slammed Airbnb’s ex-
pansion as a sham.
“Airbnb’s latest scheme is just further proof the
company is trying to play in the hoteling space while
evading industry regulations,” said Troy Flanagan of
the American Hotel & Lodging Association. “If Airbnb
wants to enter the hoteling business, then it needs to
be regulated, taxed and subject to the same safety
compliances.”
Airbnb’s success since its inception a decade ago
has drawn fire from city officials upset about lost reve-
nue from hotel taxes. It has also stirred protests from
long-time renters of homes that are instead being con-
verted into short-term places to stay. Airbnb’s critics
contend the latter trend has been making it even more
difficult to find a place to live in cities such as San Fran-
cisco, where housing is already scarce and expensive.
“There are things that we have done that have had
negative impacts on cities, and we need to confront
that,” Chesky conceded. But he said he still believes
communities have mostly benefited from Airbnb’s ex-
istence because it has helped people stay in their
homes, thanks to the additional money brought in
from renting some of the space whenever they want.

Trump Jr: ‘I love’
Indian media,
but US media?
Not so much
Ethics questions follow
president’s son on business trip
Muneeza Naqvi
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW DELHI – The U.S. president’s eldest son
heaped praise on the Indian media Friday, and ac-
cused American journalists of unfair criticism, as
he neared the end of a whirlwind trip across India
promoting Trump-brand luxury real estate.
Donald Trump Jr. said at a business summit
that life since his father’s election “has been diffi-
cult from a family standpoint,” but that he’d en-
joyed the coverage he’d received during this trip.
“I love the Indian media. They are so mild and
nice,” he said to audience laughter.
Trump has met with carefully selected Indian
reporters since coming to India, with coverage of-
ten focusing on the promised luxury of the real es-
tate developments he is selling.
Hours earlier, as criticism mounted that Trump
Jr. was pushing an ethics boundary by making
what seemed to be a foreign policy speech at the
Global Business Summit, conference organizers
hurriedly changed the speech’s ti-
tle.
Very quickly, “Reshaping Indo-
Pacific Ties: The Era of Coopera-
tion” became “A Fireside Chat With
Donald Trump Jr.”
With summer already approach-
Donald ing, it’s far too warm for cozy fires in
Trump Jr. New Delhi. But flames flickered on a
video screen behind Trump as he
was interviewed by a TV anchor with the channel
co-hosting the business summit.
Critics had said that Trump Jr. airing his views
on international relations, especially while shar-
ing a platform with senior Indian government offi-
cials — including Prime Minister Narendra Modi —
was problematic because of the implication that
he has his father’s ear.
“I am concerned that Mr. Trump’s speech will
send the mistaken message that he is speaking on
behalf of the president, the administration or the
United States government, not as a private indi-
vidual, or that he is communicating official Amer-
ican policy,” Sen. Robert Menendez, ranking Dem-
ocrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
said in a letter earlier this week to the U.S. Embas-
sy in New Delhi.
Menendez said he expects that the U.S. State
Department and the embassy will treat Trump Jr.
like any other American on private business and
“will take every effort to avoid any perception of
special treatment or a conflict of interest.”
On Thursday, White House spokeswoman
Lindsay E. Walters said the Trump administration
“takes seriously its obligation to ensure that gov-
ernment resources are not used to provide a pri-
vate benefit to anyone.”
“Donald Trump Jr. is a private individual and
neither the State Department nor the White House
has provided any support for this trip beyond co-
ordinating with his Secret Service protection,”
Walters said.
Trump Jr.’s India visit has already raised ethical
concerns.
President Donald Trump has pledged to stay
away from any new foreign business deals during
his term in office to avoid potential ethical con-
flicts. While the projects that Trump Jr. is promot-
ing in India were inked before his father was elect-
ed, ethics experts have long seen the use of the
Trump name to promote even existing business
ventures as tricky territory.
Trump Jr. and his brother, Eric, have been run-
ning the Trump Organization, the family’s real es-
tate business, during their father’s presidency.
Since Tuesday, Trump Jr. has been traveling to
four Indian cities to meet business partners and
buyers in the luxury residential projects that bear
his family’s name.
With five ventures under the Trump brand, In-
dia has the company’s largest number of projects
outside the United States. The Trump Organiza-
tion charges a licensing fee to its Indian partners
who build the properties under the Trump name.
A luxury complex is already open in the central
city of Pune while the others are in varying stages
of construction in Mumbai and Kolkata and two in
the New Delhi suburb of Gurgaon.

Honeymoon destination Maldives in disarray

President Yameen’s
power grab worries US
Jane Onyanga-Omara
USA TODAY

A honeymoon destination known for

its azure seas, pristine beaches and ro-
mantic over-water bungalows is in dis-
array as the government locks up the
president’s opponents, defies the orders
of its supreme court and suspends its
constitution.
How did the Maldives, an archipela-
go made up of more than 1,000 coral is-
lands in the Indian Ocean, unravel?

Allegations of corruption

Political opponents of President Ab-

dulla Yameen petitioned the supreme
court Jan. 29 to investigate allegations
of corruption and human rights abuses
and to remove him temporarily from
power. Opposition leaders accused Ya-
meen, elected in 2013, of stealing more
than $1 million of state funds. Yameen
denied the allegations.

Feds: US no longer a Science may get its say

‘nation of immigrants’ after Fla. school shooting
Kim Hjelmgaard
and Alan Gomez
USA TODAY
The U.S. is no longer devoted to se-
curing “America’s promise as a nation of
immigrants.”
That’s according to the United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services,
anyway, which changed its official mis-
sion statement late Thursday and
dropped the language to describe the
country.
The federal agency that grants visas
and U.S. citizenship now refers to itself
as an organization that “administers the
nation’s lawful immigration system.”
The new mission statement also elimi-
nates the word “customers” to refer to vi-
sa applicants.
In a letter to employees, L. Francis
Cissna, USCIS’s director, said the
changes were a “straightforward state-
ment (that) clearly defines the agency’s
role in our country’s lawful immigration
system and the commitment we have to
the American people.”
There was no specific explanation for
why USCIS dropped the phrase. USCIS
directed USA TODAY to Cissna’s state-
ment when asked to explain the remov-
al.
“We answer to the American people
who look to us to ensure people who are
eligible for immigration benefits receive
them and those who are not eligible —
either because they don’t qualify or be-
cause they attempt to qualify by fraud —
don’t receive them, and those who
would do us harm are not granted immi-
gration benefits,” he said.
“Thus, as we begin our work under
the banner of our new mission state-
ment, we will also go forward by ending
use of the term ‘customer’ as an agency
when referring to applicants or petition-
ers — a reminder we are always working
for the American people.”
Cissna became the agency’s director
in October last year, after President Don-
ald Trump’s election. Trump has sought
to harden decades of U.S. policy on legal
and illegal immigration. He plans to ad-
New mission statement
“U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Ser-
vices administers the nation’s lawful
immigration system, safeguarding its
integrity and promise by efficiently and
fairly adjudicating requests for im-
migration benefits while protecting
Americans, securing the homeland,
and honoring our values.”
Previous mission
statement
“USCIS secures America’s promise as a
nation of immigrants by providing
accurate and useful information to our
customers, granting immigration and
citizenship benefits, promoting an
awareness and understanding of citi-
zenship, and ensuring the integrity of
our immigration system.”
mit no more than 45,000 refugees in
2018. President Barack Obama had set
the 2017 cap at 110,000 admissions, but
Trump lowered it to 50,000. About 6,700
refugees have been admitted in the U.S.
so far this year, according to the latest
available State Department data.
In a statement, Eleanor Acer, director
of refugee protection at Washington-
based advocacy group Human Rights
First, said: “Our nation is one built by im-
migrants — removing this language does
nothing to change that fact. ... It is clear
from the language and policies put forth
by President Trump and his hard-line
immigration extremists that they will
stop at nothing to demonize and dehu-
manize immigrants and refugees, who
have often fled violence and persecution
in search for a better life.”
But Chris Chmielenski, director of
NumbersUSA, a group that advocates
for lower levels of legal and illegal immi-
gration, applauded the move.
“Every government agency should re-
member that it serves Americans and
American interests first and foremost.
It’s great to see USCIS doing exactly
that,” he said.
Research lacking on gun
violence prevention
Nicole Gaudiano
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – Do armed guards
in schools prevent school shootings?
It’s a good question — and one of
many that gun violence prevention re-
searchers said they haven’t been able to
conclusively answer, largely because of
restrictions on federal funding.
Since 1996, Congress has blocked
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention from using funds for injury
prevention and control to “advocate or
promote gun control.” That doesn’t ban
federally funded research, but some
said it has produced a “chilling effect”
on research that has lasted more than
two decades.
That’s part of the reason researchers
can’t definitively say whether having
more people carrying concealed weap-
ons would save or take more lives, said
Mark L. Rosenberg, president emeritus
of the Task Force for Global Health in
Decatur, Georgia. Or whether banning
access to semi-automatic rifles would
prevent mass shootings. Or whether
certain types of mental illness are asso-
ciated with violence. Or whether fire-
arm registration and licensing would
reduce gun violence or undermine the
rights of law-abiding gun owners.
“We don’t know,” said Rosenberg,
who was the founding director of CDC’s
National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control. “And when you don’t
know, people yell and scream on both
sides, and, unfortunately, they pass
laws that sometimes have very bad
consequences.”
After the mass shooting Feb. 14 at a
school in Parkland, Florida, all Demo-
cratic members of the House Energy
and Commerce Committee called on
GOP leaders to hold a hearing on feder-
al investment in gun violence preven-
tion research. They have not received
an answer, but some Republicans sig-
naled they’re on board.
Health and Human Services Secre-
tary Alex Azar suggested during a House
committee hearing that he was open to
new gun violence safety research at
agencies he oversees, including the CDC.
“We’re in the science business and
the evidence-generating business, and
I will have our agency certainly be
working in this field,” he said.
A study published last year by the
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
ciation found gun violence kills about
as many people a year as sepsis from
infections, but federal funding for gun
research was about 0.7 percent of that
for sepsis.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and
others wanted to know last year wheth-
er programs that promote the safe stor-
age of personal firearms are effective.
The Governmental Accountability Of-
fice learned from program officials and
researchers that “safe storage, as with
other gun safety issues, has not been
extensively studied.” One explanation
they gave was the “Dickey Amend-
ment,” the recurring federal spending
restriction on CDC research named for
its author, Rep. Jay Dickey, R-Ark., who
died last year.
“This is one of the leading causes of
death in this country, but it’s one of the
ones we have researched the least,”
Murray, the top Democrat on the Sen-
ate health committee, said when she
announced the results of the report in
October. “Frankly, like so much about
the gun debate in our country, this
makes no sense.”
The National Rifle Association
backed the Dickey Amendment in 1996
after CDC-sponsored research refuted
the notion that having a firearm at
home makes you safer. Congress redi-
rected $2.6 million spent on gun re-
search to fund traumatic brain injury
research. Rosenberg said he was fired
in 1999. “I call them shots across the
bow” at researchers, Rosenberg said,
adding that the CDC became fearful of
doing something that would put its
budget at risk.

Spring break adventures

Many travelers want a mixture of relaxation and memorable experiences

travelers want to balance relaxation with experi-
ences, whether it’s tours that offer cultural im-
mersion, yoga retreats or hiking adventures. Beach destina-
tions remain popular, but travelers are also using spring break
to explore Europe, Asia and other part of the world. And while
college students and 20-somethings love their March and April
getaways, families with young kids and baby boomers are
shaking off winter blahs with trips, too.

Bateman, McAdams anchor lively and fun ‘Game Night’

Lindsey Bahr
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A murder mystery party goes side-
ways when violent kidnappers arrive
before the fake ones in “Game Night,”
which seems on the page to be like all
the other disappointing action-come-
dies of late.
You know the kind, where ordinary,
upper middle class-ish suburbanites get
thrown into some wacky underworld or
genre situation. Spies live next door! We
have to start a casino to put our kid
through school! We killed a stripper!
While it’s a formula that can be brilliant
and/or fun (see: everything from “After
Hours” to “Adventures in Babysitting”),
recent efforts have seemed to result in
features that feel more like extended
Saturday Night Live sketches – a gim-
mick stretched far past its worth and
padded with some car chases and con-
trived heart.
Thankfully, “Game Night” does not
fall into that trap. A charismatic ensem-
ble cast, a sharp script and a few well-
placed twists make “Game Night” one of
the more enjoyable big studio comedies
in recent memory. John Francis Daley
and Jonathan Goldstein (“Vacation”) di-
rect off of a script by Mark Perez, whose
credits include “Accepted” and “The
Country Bears.”
Jason Bateman and Rachel McA-
dams anchor “Game Night” as Max and

other as much as they love games – tri-

it – and winning. They live in a cul-de-

What travel agents say
The Associated Press sought input
from the American Society of Travel
Agents for a spring break snapshot.
Misty Ewing Belles at the Virtuoso
travel agency said in an email that she’s
“seeing families trade traditional ‘fly-
and-flop’ vacations for more active/ad-
venture trip.” Many other agents agreed.
“The big trend is that clients are look-
ing for unique adventures,” said Rob
Karp with Miles Ahead. “Travelers are
interested in becoming global citizens in
places like Vietnam, Costa Rica, Italy
and Nicaragua. Parents are taking their
kids all over the world and immersing
them in many different cultures. Spring
break is also a chance for families to
take trips globally, like Japan for the
cherry blossoms, Machu Picchu in Peru,
the Vatican for Easter or the Temple
Mount in Israel for Passover.”
Ann Petronio, with Annie’s Escapes,
said she’s seeing family trips outside
“the usual Caribbean destinations. This
year’s trips are more adventurous. For
example, I have two sisters traveling to-
gether to Iceland. And a father-daughter
headed to Dubai and the Maldives” on
the daughter’s college break.

sac, where all middle class suburban
couples live in glossy comedies, and
host a weekly game night with their
friends, longtime couple Michelle (Kylie
Bunbury) and Kevin (Lamorne Morris)
and the happy, handsome idiot Ryan
(Billy Magnussen) and whatever Insta-
gram babe he happens to have on his
arm that week.
They also have a very strange next-
door neighbor, Gary (Jesse Plemons), a
police officer with light serial killer
vibes. Always in uniform and holding
his fluffy white dog, Gary just desper-
ately wants to be included. Plemons
plays him with over-the-top serious-
ness that makes for some of the sillier
laughs early on.
The hook of the film comes when
Max’s brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler), a
charismatic alpha male and bane of
Max’s existence, attempts to one-up the
normal game night proceedings by ar-
ranging a pricey murder mystery event
where one person is kidnapped and the
rest have to try to solve it. So no one is
the wiser when real kidnappers show up
Dana Storr, with TravelStore, says
she’s seeing interest in Belize “for those
seeking tropical climates. These clients
are looking toward transformative get-
aways. They want a culturally enriching
experience while also having the oppor-
tunity to scuba dive/snorkel, take yoga
classes and spa treatments. Discon-
necting is of utmost importance. Anoth-
er area is Europe. They are interested in
city escapes to Paris, Florence and Ven-
ice. Aside from enjoying what these fan-
tastic cities have to offer, they are all
day-tripping beyond the city centers to
experience local food purveyors and wi-
nemakers.”
Patti Gallagher, with Vacations by
Patti, says she has had requests for
“family-friendly all-inclusive in the Car-
ibbean,” like a Nickelodeon resort in
Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic, or
the Beaches Turks and Caicos resort,
which has Sesame Street-branded ac-
tivities and an Xbox Play Lounge for
kids plus water sports and gourmet din-
ing for all ages. “Families seem to be
looking for that Disney-type experience
in the Caribbean without the massive
crowds and exhausting schedule,”
Gallagher said. Nickelodeon opens its
second property in 2019 in Mexico’s Ri-
viera Maya.
Laurel Brunvoll at Unforgettable

such as Costa Rica and Belize have seen

and beat Brooks to a pulp before taking
him away, thinking that it is all part of
the game.
The somewhat ridiculous misunder-
standing, while definitely milked for all
it’s worth, does eventually go away and
the couples are all invested in trying to
help Brooks get out of trouble. Also by
this point Ryan has introduced a differ-
ent kind of date in his co-worker Sarah,
who is played by the wonderful Sharon
Horgan.
Attempting to explain why a comedy
works is a kind of futile exercise, but
this group of actors just works together.

another that resembles that sort of

nature, adventure and authenticity.
Mexico
Helen Prochilo at Promal Vacations
says “our spring break clients are book-
ing Mexico. … The pricing we are finding
in Mexico for Cancun, Riviera Maya and
Playa del Carmen has resulted in a
24 percent increase in our Mexico book-
ings year to date.”
Despite Mexico’s popularity and af-
fordability, the country is plagued by vi-
olence, mostly related to drug traffick-
ing outside tourist areas popular with
Americans. The U.S. State Department
blacklists some regions of Mexico as no-
go zones, but Quintana Roo, where Can-
cun and Cozumel are located, and Baja
California del Sur, home to Los Cabos,
were rated 2 under the State Depart-
ment’s new travel warning system,
which means “exercise increased cau-
tion.” The State Department’s warnings
about Mexico also refer to reports of
tainted alcohol at some resorts that
have resulted in visitors getting sick or
blacking out.

that emphasize sustainability.

Booking.com found that spring break
2018 is going to be 2 percent more ex-

5 ways to help your teen’s career path

BY ERIC TITNER 4. Support their choices.
THEJOBNETWORK.COM Sure, this seems obvious,
but what happens if your teen

T
hese days, it’s more
challenging than ever for
teens to choose the right
career path. On top of having
a lack of real-world life experi-
ence and the self-awareness
to help guide them toward
making choices that are right
for them, the work world is
changing rapidly these days as
a result of accelerating techno-
logical innovation, a fluctuating
economy and shifting staffing
demands.
That leaves many young
adults struggling to find their
purpose after high school.
The challenges teens face
when searching for their ideal
careers starts in college. Ac-
cording to a recent Borderzine
article, “About 80 percent of
students in the United States
end up changing their major
at least once, according to the
National Center for Education
Statistics. On average, college
students change their major
at least three times over the
course of their college career.”
This general level of inde-
cisiveness can have serious
implications for young adults
and their ability to make clear
and rational life decisions, on
top of adding stress and pres-
sure to an already challenging
time in life.
If you’re a parent or guardian
of a teen who’s trying to figure
out what career path to pursue,
consider taking advantage of
the following five strategies for
helping them out:
1. Help them make
choices based on
who they are.
This one’s important:
although you may have big
dreams and plans for your
teen, your child is not merely
an extension of you, and pro-
jecting your hopes and wishes
for their future on them is not
a guaranteed path to career
fulfillment.
If you want your teen to
pursue a career path that has
a good chance of making
them happy, help them make
choices based on who they
are and what makes them a
unique individual.
2. Empower them to
explore their strengths
and passions.
Choosing the right career
shouldn’t be a shot in the dark.
If your teen is having trouble
making a decision, a great first
step is to help them make a list
of their strengths, interests and
passions.
Once they have a list, it’s
much easier to come up with
a manageable set of possible
GETTY IMAGES
career options that might be
right for them.
3. Help them find
a suitable mentor.
If your teen has an interest in
a particular field, a great way
to learn more — and discover
if it is the right path for them —
is to help them connect with a
prospective mentor in the field
who can help them learn the
day-to-day realities of life on
the job, as well as short-term
and long-term career options
and outlooks. Intern and volun-
teer opportunities are excellent
ways to get valuable exposure
and experience.
chooses a career path that you
don’t agree with?
This happens all the time,
and the parents who support
and encourage their teens to
follow their dreams — whether
it’s a choice you wholeheart-
edly support or think is a bad
idea — are much more likely
to have teens who are happy
and successful, no matter what
path they decide to pursue.
Be patient, supportive and
encouraging to your teen as
they grapple with this tough
life decision, and you’re much
more likely to see a positive
result.
5. Set a good example.
The truth is, parents who are
happy and fulfilled with their
professional choices in life
and who display positive work
habits and behaviors are much
more likely to have children
who make smart choices
regarding their career paths
— and they’re also much more
likely to exhibit similar positive
work habits, which will help
them achieve success in their
chosen fields.

Every reporter who’s been in the
business long enough can recall having
to rip up their story and start over on
deadline because a game they were cov-
ering took a late twist.
It’s a moment when the stylish prose
you’ve been polishing for two hours
must be discarded, panic sets in be-
cause you can’t think of a catchy new
lede and you end up writing a boring re-
gurgitation of the play-by-play, propped
up by two decent quotes from the coach
and the player whose heroics ruined the
original story.
You salvage the night by going
through the McDonald’s drive-thru on
the way home and drowning your sor-
row in a chocolate milkshake.
My version of that nightmare wasn’t
as bad as most since I wasn’t on dead-
line at the time and had time plenty of
time to write after the game took an un-
expected turn. No, my punishment
awaited a week later.
I was covering the NYSPHSAA boys
and girls basketball tournaments in
Glens Falls in March 1989 and was down
to one remaining game for the weekend.
In fact, it looked as though I was down to
my final eight minutes and change of
the season because Lyons was losing
big late in the third quarter.
All of the other Section 5 teams that
had reached the state final fours that
weekend had either lost a game or had
won a title but wouldn’t return to Glens

USA TODAY NETWORK – NEW JERSEY

TAMPA, Fla. – As he exchanged

seen in
lineup cards before Friday’s exhibition
opener, Aaron Boone had a message
for Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire.
“I told him to go easy on me,’’ Boone
said. “I didn’t want to look him in the

short
eye, like (getting) Jedi mind tricked or
something.’’
By late Friday afternoon, any ten-
sion — real or imagined — had been re-
placed by the usual hopes of spring.

USA TODAY NETWORK
GANGNEUNG, South Korea –
Mirai Nagasu’s Olympic destiny
was always going to rest on a single
jump, on the edge of a blade, in a ti-
ny window of opportunity and time.
So it proved on Wednesday after-
noon here, when the American
blasted into the air 23 seconds into
her short program and attempted to
land a jump no other woman in the
world is either proficient enough or
game enough to try. By 25 seconds
she was on her knees, her hands on
the ice.
The triple Axel was Nagasu’s
only shot at an unlikely medal, had
she stuck it Wednesday and again
in Friday’s free skate. It is a devil-
ishly difficult jump, and when she
nailed it in the team event she be-
came only the third female Olym-
pian to traverse those nerve-jan-
gling three-and-a-half spins.
This time, it was too difficult. She
looked to have gotten control of it
and seemed set for an effective
landing. However, by the rink,
coach Tom Zakrajsek had already
noticed signs that pointed to a posi-
tioning problem.
Nagasu popped back up after the
fall and ended the short program in
ninth place with 66.93. Fellow
Americans Karen Chen and Bradie
Tennell followed immediately in the
program
standings. Zakrajsek said the issue
was borne of a lack of focus. Nagasu
admitted that the strain of the past
couple of weeks, when she helped
the Americans to team bronze, had
taken its toll. She was exhausted.
Why?
“You should try going out there
and performing in front of thou-
sands of people and putting all your
jumps on the line,” she said. “Some-
times I just over-jump. I wish I could
land it perfectly every time.”
Nagasu’s parents Kiyoto and
Ikuko were watching from the
stands, having closed their South-
ern California sushi restaurant for a
few days. They’ll watch their
daughter skate in the penultimate
group of six on Friday, then head
home. They’ve seen her journey,
and it has been a long one. It will
likely end with these Games,
though, with her best Olympic
showing having been fourth in
2010.
Four years ago she didn’t even
qualify, bumped off the team by the
selectors despite finishing third at
nationals. She watched the action
on television, with a dear friend
who also missed out. The friend’s
name? Adam Rippon, back then un-
known to the wider American pub-
lic but now a media sensation.
One of the reasons Rippon
turned down an NBC contract for
the end of these Olympics was so he
could support his teammates, and

On a day of new beginnings at
Steinbrenner Field, Boone walked
away with his first managerial win and
the Yankees started to grasp their cur-
rent, out-of-the-gate reality as World
Series contenders.
Even in batting practice, “people are
watching,’’ said Greg Bird. “They’re not
just at the park having a good time,
they’re watching. So, yeah, there was
definitely a buzz’’ before and during
the Yankees’ 3-1 victory before a sellout
crowd of 10,129.

And as Derek Jeter always said, it
never feels like the Yankees season be-

Bronx, set for April 2.
But even in an exhibition setting,
“it’s exciting times,’’ Bird said of the
anticipation in the clubhouse and in
the stands.

should put it in perspective.”
Asked why, she said, “Because no
one else can do it.”
Nagasu is typically a bundle of up-
beat energy and humor. Her interviews
sometimes verge on hysterical, and she
has spoken of date requests she has re-
ceived, joked that she might return as a
speedskater for future Olympics and
even quizzed reporters for knowledge
on where Olympic medal-winners are
supposed to keep their medals.
At 24, it is highly unlikely she will be
back, leaving her medal collection at
one. But before then there is still the
free skate to go, another chance to fire
herself into the air, another chance to
be brave and another way to prove she
is one of a kind.

Wheeler impresses in spring training
Matt Ehalt
North Jersey Record
USA TODAY NETWORK – NEW JERSEY
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – A few days
before Zack Wheeler’s Grapefruit
League debut, Mets manager Mickey
Callaway approached the righty to help
put him at ease.
As speculation swirls about Wheel-
er’s role, Callaway told the righty to keep
his focus on the rotation competition.
“He told me don’t worry about all that
other stuff, keep your head down, go
about your business and try to win a
job,” Wheeler said. “That’s my goal and
that starts with what they want — get
ahead of hitters, and throwing quality
strikes and staying healthy.”
Wheeler made a good first impres-
sion in his attempt to win a spot in the
rotation by striking out two in a score-
less inning in a 6-2 win over the Braves
at First Data Field. Wheeler’s fastball sat
95-97 mph, and he worked around a
leadoff single.
“Felt good to get that one out of the
way,” Wheeler said. “I’m healthy and
trying to go out there and concentrate of
throwing strikes, staying healthy and
just competing for a job.”
Wheeler allowed a single on his first
pitch before rebounding to record
strikeouts with a 97 mph fastball and a
96 mph fastball.He threw a few sinkers,
and said his change-up is improving.
Wheeler also was able to consistently
throw strikes which is a priority.
“Want all these guys their first time
out to feel the rush of a game, the adren-
aline, attack the strike zone,” Mets
pitching coach Dave Eiland said. “Try to

away won’t accept tardiness.
The first-time manager scratched
first baseman Dominic Smith for being
tardy for the team’s meeting, according
to Smith. Smith was originally slated to
bat fourth in the team’s Grapefruit
League opener Friday at First Data Field
against Atlanta.
“I was late a little bit today,” Smith
said. “I’m human, I apologize. It’s some-
thing that shouldn’t happen. It’s unac-
ceptable in any locker room, no matter
the Mets or wherever you play. It’s unac-
ceptable and my fault, and something
that won’t happen again.”
One theme that Callaway has
preached to his players is accountabil-
ity, and that includes being on time to
get their work done. Callaway doesn’t

Falls the following weekend because
there was no Federation tournament in
their class.
As soon as I closed the book on Ly-
ons, my winter season would be over. I’d
already picked my All-Greater Roches-
ter teams and written a chunk of the ma-
terial, so my planned five days in Florida
to take in some sun and spring training
was now shaping up as eight or nine
days on the beach and in the bleachers.
And then Junior Kemp ruined it all.
Someone from Lyons hit a buzzer-beater
at the end of the third quarter and Kemp
played out of him mind in the fourth as
the Lions rallied from a double-digits
deficit to beat Whitney Point 61-55.
Great for Lyons. Not so great for me.
The reversal of fortune earned Lyons
(and me) a return trip to Glens Falls the
following weekend for the Federation
“tournament,” a misleading term since
Class C would have just two entrants —
Lyons and Nichols School, the Buffalo
powerhouse that gave us Christian
Laettner a couple of seasons earlier.
It never occurred to anyone that it
made much more sense to play the game
in Batavia on a Tuesday night than
Glens Falls over the weekend, so my
Florida trip was ruined.
If I’d been smarter than a fifth-grad-
er, I’d have pulled a 180-degree reversal
and used the second trip to Glens Falls
as my springboard for a consolation
prize like sightseeing around Montreal

Callaway said. “He was out there getting

And if I was as smart as Scott Sugar, I
would have started working on a plan
nine months earlier so that I’d have op-
tions if the worst-case scenario struck.
Sugar is the athletic director at Fay-
etteville-Manlius in Section 3. He
served in a similar role in Central New
York at tiny Red Creek and then Oswego
before that, and 16 years has taught him
how to deal with the scholastic version
of March Madness.
These next four weekends constitute
my favorite time of year for high school
sports, with the first two weekends of
March in particular being the best be-
cause of the variety of sports winding
up their seasons.
The first weekend in March has state
championships in boys swimming, girls
gymnastics, cheerleading and indoor
track. That’s in addition to sectional
championships in basketball and state
quarterfinals in hockey. The following
weekend has championships in bowling
and ice hockey, plus the state quarterfi-
nals in boys and girls basketball.
All but skiing are indoors, making
them relatively immune from weather.
It makes for exciting times for athletes,
their families and supporters of the
school.
It also makes for potential logistical
nightmares for ADs like Sugar. Whereas
most athletic directors can show up at
the office Aug. 15 knowing when and
where every regular-season game and
practice will be held because they had
developed plans in the spring and early
summer, the postseason is an entirely
different animal.

every good AD is a great office assistant
— often live hand-to-mouth during the

need to act professionally.
The Mets had a team meeting Friday
on Saturday in Syracuse and your team
could be playing again on Tuesday in
Binghamton and the following weekend
in Middletown.
There are buses to schedule, hotel
rooms to book, restaurants to find and
teachers to cover for in the classroom. It
happens in rapid-fire succession and
that doesn’t even take into account late
developments. On Wednesday, the
NYSPHSAA announced it was moving
next week’s state nordic skiing meet
from the Canandaigua area to Gore
Mountain in the Capital region because
of a lack of snow.
In the days at Red Creek, Sugar’s
postseason in the winter season might
consist of two basketball games played
within an hour of home, the cheerlead-
ing tournament in Rochester and maybe
a couple of track athletes or wrestlers
qualifying for sectionals.
Fayetteville-Manlius is five times
larger and probably 15 times more com-
plicated, with more teams in sectionals
and athletes moving onto state tourna-
ments.
“This is year 16 for me, so I’ve got a
little bit of a grip on it,” Sugar said this
week. “We plot it out as though we’re go-
ing to go all the way to the very end of
the season.”
It makes for more work early in the
sport season, but it’s easier to cancel
plans if the hockey or basketball teams
bow out than it is to scramble to make
reservations the day after each win.
“Our biggest curveball is the state in-
door track meet,” Sugar said. “The new
facility in Staten Island is a world-class
facility, but the hotels are very limited
nearby. We sent 12 kids last year and
they ended up staying in Newark, N.J.

Toms River native Todd Frazier col-
lected the team’s first hit in his first
game with his new team. Frazier batted
third and started at third base.
“Felt really good,” Frazier said. “It was
exciting. Get the itch a little bit and get
four innings under your belt, couple of
at-bats, see how I feel tomorrow. So far
so good.”
Briefs
Lefty Jason Vargas is set to throw his
first live batting practice Saturday. The
team wants each starter to throw two
side sessions and two live batting prac-
tices before pitching in a Grapefruit
League game. ...Seth Lugo will start Sat-
urday’s game against St. Louis. ... The
Mets scored six runs in the eighth in-
ning, and David Thompson’s RBI single
gave them the lead for good. ... Eight
pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts.
Scene setter
In a matchup that would have made
the internet explode a few years ago,
Matt Harvey faced Tim Tebow during
live batting practice Friday morning.
Harvey induced a few swings and
misses, and Tebow rocketed one ball
into center field. Mets catcher Kevin
Plawecki said Harvey’s fastball had life,
and he located his off-speed pitches.
Quote of the day
“It was great.” — Callaway on his de-
but
morning, and Smith said he was late be-
cause his alarm did not go off.
The Mets originally announced
Smith’s absence from the lineup as a
way to get Peter Alonso some at-bats,
and Smith’s did not reveal the reason in
his first talk with the media. In his sec-
ond session, he confessed.
“I’m a professional. This is my job, my
career,” Smith said. “I feel like I definite-
ly did let them down today.”
Smith said Callaway was “pretty fair”
with him, and even asked him what he
believed the punishment for his infrac-
tion should be.
“He shouldn’t give me a pass,” Smith
said. “what he’s been preaching since
day one is accountability and you have
to be accountable for yourself and your
actions, and that’s the only way the
team will be great and this is one of the
things I got to hold myself accountable
for. Let everybody know this won’t be a
problem going forward.”
bridge to get to the meet.
“This time we booked hotel rooms
back in May to make it the best experi-
ence for the kids and the best chance to
be most successful. We got 10 hotel
rooms and we were able to hold them for
up until a week before the meet. So last
week we canceled three and held on to
the rest.”
It works the same way in other
sports, especially when the options are
limited. Working at Oswego taught him
to hang on to as much ice time as pos-
sible for the hockey team right up
through early March.
And then there’s cross country, the
sport in which F-M has the best girls
program in the country and a boys
squad that’s a threat to win the state
meet almost every year. Sugar keeps the
NYSPHSAA’s calendar handy anyway,
and that’s a sport where it’s not arro-
gant for him to put a larger portion of the
seven-year planner to use.
“We don’t assume we’ll make states,
but we still try to get on it as early as we
can,” Sugar said.
When all else fails, he knows enough
to pick up the phone and ask.
“It’s also about connections,” Sugar
said. “We don’t know all the answers, so
it’s nice when you can call John Pelin
(Spencerport) or Ron Whitcomb (Vic-
tor) and ask, ‘What should I do for this?’
It’s those connections that help you.”
The answers that those experts pro-
vide can be the difference between your
team staying at a hotel 15 minutes from
the arena with a great adjoining restau-
rant or lodging 45 minutes away on fast-
food alley.
Or the difference between spring
training in Tampa and an extra set of
four-hour trips down the Thruway.

Exclusion at work worries team member
Ask Amy
Amy Dickinson
Dear Amy: I’m being excluded from a
project at work and it’s been very diffi-
cult for me to cope. I’m wondering if I am
overreacting.
I work as part of a small team of six
artists: four production artists (myself
included) and two lead artists. We usu-
ally work very closely together. This
project has a ton of work for everyone
except one person, and that person
turned out to be me.
Every day, my team is consumed with
this project. It’s all they talk about. They
have meetings, and I’m left sitting by
myself in our rows of desks. They have
their own dedicated chat that I am not
invited to and they have discussions,
make team announcements and have
in-jokes, all of which I am not privy to.
They’re learning, getting experience in
our craft and bonding as a team while I
am excluded.
Meanwhile the work I’ve been as-
signed is not related to my job descrip-
tion.
I asked the supervisor if I could work
There is hope for those with eating disorders
Dear Annie
Annie Lane
Dear Annie: I want your readers who
think they may have an eating disorder
to know that they are not alone and that
their condition is treatable. I am living
proof!
Throughout my childhood, I strug-
gled with my weight and my relation-
ship with food. When I reached the end
of high school, I committed to being
“healthy.” I lost more than 50 pounds by
eating better and exercising. What a
feeling of power it was to have made
such a big and (I thought) positive
change.
However, when I went away to col-
lege, I started to throw up when I
‘Nostalgia’ is unrushed poem with a great cast
Mark Kennedy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
One of the first images in the film
“Nostalgia” is of an heirloom necklace
dangling on the neck of a diner waitress.
One of the last images is of a massive
puffy cloud, ever shifting in the wide
sky.
Between these symbols of perma-
nence and flux is a deeply meditative
movie about time, loss and the stuff we
fiercely hold onto along the way. “Nos-
talgia” is thoughtful and lyrical, an un-
rushed poem with a first-rate cast.
Directed by Mark Pellington with a
screenplay by Alex Ross Perry, the film is
a mosaic of interconnected stories, link-
ing a grizzled grandfather (Bruce Dern),
an insurance assessor (John Ortiz,) a
widow (Ellen Burstyn), a memorabilia
dealer (Jon Hamm) and his family (in-
cluding Catherine Keener as his sister).
Ortiz’s patient, empathetic assessor
is the glue that connects the first two
characters we meet, the first of which is
the grandfather, whose home is filled
with personal mementos that are price-
less to him but junk to anyone else.
His pregnant granddaughter – the
SUNDAY’S HOROSCOPE
Aries (March 21-April 19). It’s difficult
not to get attached to things today,
especially when they fall so perfectly in
line with who you think you are. Of
course, we’re never who we think we
are, any more than we are who others
think we are.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Should you
maximize your gains or minimize your
losses? It depends on what you want.
For fame or publicity, maximize your
gains. For money and security, minimize
your losses.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). You are a key
player, an integral team member and a
big reason your group is functioning so
well right now. Don’t seek validation for
on the team project, and he said no. I
asked my teammates if there was any-
thing they needed help with and was
met with silence.
I try to be rational about this and
think positively, but every day it gets
more difficult as I feel more and more
excluded and less valuable to the team.
I feel very upset over this.
At this point, I’m not sure what’s val-
id or appropriate. I don’t want to be seen
as emotional or not a team player, but I
cannot deny that it has greatly upset
me.
It is very difficult to watch my entire
team work on something without me.
Your advice?
– Worrier
Dear Worrier: The way you describe
your situation, you are being deliberate-
ly excluded from this team project. You
appealed to your supervisor, who has
also denied you access. Yes, this seems
short-sighted on their part, because in-
spiration comes from many quarters.
Because of the paucity of informa-
tion and lack of communication regard-
ing why you’ve been excluded, you
should assume that your skill level does
not match that of the other team mem-
bers. Your current assignment (unrelat-
thought I had eaten too much. I only did
it occasionally, but it crept up eventual-
ly to twice a day. I realized that I was
purging to cope with my feelings of de-
pression and restricting my food intake
to have a feeling of control over my life.
My feelings may have been out of con-
trol, but I knew exactly how many calo-
ries were going into my body at any mo-
ment.
I wore my dizziness and lightheaded-
ness with pride. After all, I was getting
compliments from people about how
great I looked.
Eventually, all the purging and re-
stricting could not keep my depression
at bay, and my health started to decline.
I enrolled in a treatment program, and I
am happy to say it worked. Though I
don’t know that I’ll ever be completely
“cured,” I live a happy and healthy life
now.
Amber Tamblyn appears in a scene from “Nostalgia.” BLEECKER STREET VIA AP
second pregnant woman we see, stress-
ing history and lineage – wants to know
everything’s value. But what is the price
of memories, of old love letters, of a life
lived? When the assessor wants to take
a picture of the grandfather, he shoots
back, “I’m not a relic.”
The assessor next visits the widow,
whose house has burned down and
whom he meets in the sooty remains of
the place she’s called home for decades.
She had a split second during the fire to
save as much as she could and, after
this. Just know it’s true and keep going.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). You offer
many things to people around you ev-
ery day. Today you already know what
they will choose. You’ve made the de-
fault option very appealing; it will take
the least amount of effort for them,
which makes it easy.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Your nearest and
dearest love you for who you are, not
for what you achieve or do. But what
you do still affects the big picture.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Though
you’re part of the improvement, the
solution, the happier day, you’re also
part of something that’s going to need
revision a little further down the road.
ed to your job description) is another
clue that you might need to commit to
more training. You could ask for an ex-
planation about why you’ve been left
behind, but don’t bother telling anyone
how this makes you feel.
You might be able to turn this pile of
lemons into lemonade if you can muster
up the fortitude and determination to
leave your emotion about this behind,
and simply commit to improving your
skills. You should also look for a differ-
ent job.
Dear Amy: You get so many ques-
tions about the difficult relationships
between mothers-in-law and daugh-
ters-in-law that I often wonder: Do you
ever hear from daughters-in-law who
were nasty to their mothers-in-law, and
now they are mothers-in-law, them-
selves?
Do daughters-in-law look back and
regret their behavior?
– Struggling MIL, Myself
Dear Struggling: I don’t think I have
ever seen such an admission from a
daughter-in-law in this space, but I’d
certainly be interested in exploring this
very special (and challenging) dynamic.
I got very lucky with my (two) moth-
ers-in-law from my two marriages. Both

Dear Living a Sunny Life: Thank you
so much for having the courage to share
your story. Next week is National Eating
Disorders Awareness Week, and people
can check their symptoms at http://

only a few minutes. It is free and anony-
mous, and it could change your life.
Dear Annie: The recent news stories
of sexual abuse of children have encour-
aged me to share my story in the hope it
helps others. I was sexually abused by
my maternal grandfather. I won’t go into
details here, but my greatest hurt was
when I told my mother. I was about 45
years old and had started counseling. I
told her of my childhood experiences
and pleaded with her not to tell anyone,
saying the counseling was helping and
all I asked of her was to give me some
confidentiality and support. She ex-
grabbing jewelry, snatched her hus-
band’s prized baseball.
That ball leads Burstyn to Hamm as
she debates what to do with an object
that meant so much to her husband but
so little to her. It’s just a thing, so why
does it have such a gravitational pull? If
she sells it, her future is secure but her
family’s connection to it is severed. “You
won’t remember me,” she tells the col-
lector.
Hamm’s character, as you might
guess, is not wistful when it comes to

what they think. They’ll tell you, but it
won’t really be what they think; it will
just be what they suppose sounds ap-
propriate. You’ll have better luck if you
ask them how they feel.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your actual
choice won’t be nearly so important as
the level of focus and power you bring
to it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Children,
dreams, beauty, love – the good things
such as those have a life of their own
and don’t necessarily do what they’re
told. They render you powerless and
energized all at once.
women were very different from each
other – and from me – but they both
handled the relationship in a way that
inspired my respect.
I also assume the fact that I was
afraid of them helped to keep me in line
until I got to know them.
I will share readers’ words of wisdom
from each side of this relationship.
Dear Amy: “Tired of Listening” de-
scribed a friendship that consisted of
his friend complaining, and Tired lis-
tening and offering advice and solutions
that fell on deaf ears.
Thank you for identifying this friend
as a “narcissistic bore.” Unfortunately,
you failed to warn this friend that a rela-
tionship with a true narcissist will never
thrive, and will turn increasingly toxic
as time passes.
– Been There
Dear Been There: Several readers
have written in to say that they have
been on the receiving end of this sort of
selfish behavior, and that severing the
relationship was ultimately the only
way to preserve their own self-esteem.

pressed sympathy but was not sur-
prised, as this had happened to her
when she was younger. Two days later,
she called me, said I was lying and told
me she and her sisters were going to get
a lawyer and sue me if I shared this with
anyone. I was so hurt. This split our
family apart; she and my brother con-
stantly attacked me verbally and emo-
tionally.
My point here is to protect your chil-
dren as much as possible, and if there is
suspicion of abuse, deal with it immedi-
ately. Support them and always give
them the benefit of the doubt.
– Been There but Doing Better
Dear Been There but Doing Better: I
am so sorry that happened, but I’m
grateful to you for sharing your story.

things. He buys and sells artifacts for a
living, after all, and is unsentimental,
even when he goes to help his sister
clean out his childhood home. When she
complains there are so many memories
attached to the home, he curtly respon-
ds: “Make new ones.”
It’s at this point – roughly halfway
through “Nostalgia “ – when things take
a tragic turn and the memorabilia dealer
must soon confront his own callous
views of mementos. This painful detour
into profound grief threatens to warp
the film, unbalance it – but stick with it.
Hamm’s character is redeemed in a
dumpster.
In terms of acting, the fact that Bur-
styn once more offers a complex, haunt-
ed heroine is no surprise. But everyone
here is excellent. Ortiz delivers a slightly
magical paper-pusher, Keener is a wom-
an broken by sadness as we watch help-
lessly, and Hamm is as stoic outside as
he is broken inside. Some tiny roles are
made to sparkle in the hands of Nick Of-
ferman, Patton Oswalt, James Le Gros,
Annalise Basso and Mikey Madison.
Much of “Nostalgia” is shot as in a
quiet dream, often lingering in the dark
shadows.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Kindness
and politeness will go a long way to-
ward paving easy daily routines, con-
tributing to healthful and lovely envi-
ronments, and creating quality relation-
ships.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t do
waiting; do creating. Though there will
definitely be a stretch of time between
your request and its fulfillment, if you
fill it with work on other things, it will
seem like a mere blink.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not that
the pot of gold doesn’t exist; it’s that
the end of the rainbow doesn’t exist.
