Cops released surveillance footage of the suspects (one at right) and are asking the public’s help tracking them down. The boy and a 23-year-old man were sitting in the Mercedes near 183rd St. and 143rd Ave. in Springfield Gardens when the gunmen fired multiple rounds about 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, cops said. Medics rushed the older victim to Jamaica Hospital. The boy was taken to Cohen Children’s Medical Center. Both are expected to recover. The gunmen ran off toward 141st Ave. Police recovered video of the suspects, one of whom tried to cover his face with his jacket as he ran past surveillance cameras. One was wearing a black-and-white baseball cap, a white T-shirt, light blue jeans and red-and-black Nike Jordan sneakers. The second suspect was wearing redand-white Nike Jordan sneakers, greenand-white tie-dyed shorts and an olive green shirt. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential. Boy, 15, sitting in Benz is shot in the face BY MICHAEL GARTLAND NEW YORK DAILY NEWS The city will receive $27 million as part of a year-old settlement against Juul Labs, the controversial purveyor of vape pens that was ordered to pay out a total of $462 million as part of a court deal in April 2023, city and state leaders announced Wednesday. The payout to the city is part of a larger pot of money — $112.7 million — that went to New York State as part of the total e-cigarette settlement. Five other states, including California and Illinois, as well as Washington, D.C., are also receiving payouts are part of the settlement. State Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Juul in 2019 for deceptive and misleading marketing, said Wednesday the money would pay for “education, for prevention, for research and enforcement programs to prevent kids and young adults from vaping.” “Juul lit a nationwide public health crisis and put addictive products in the hands of minors who thought they were doing something harmless,” she said during a news conference at Maxine Greene High School on the Upper West Side. “E-cigarette use among middleand high school students more than doubled after Juul was first introduced in 2015.” A substantial portion of the cash to the city, $14.9 million, will go toward its schools. Where exactly Mayor Adams’ administration will put the rest of the money was not immediately clear, though it could presumably go toward enforcement efforts and public health research. Deputy Mayor Fabien Levy said there are limits on how the money can be spent and that permissible options include vaping prevention, nicotine cessation and enforcement. “It allows us to be forward-thinking on education and driving a real program toward addressing this issue,” Adams said. “It must be youth led. It’s impacting our young people, and they’re smart enough to come up with the right strategies and the right information to go after how this has just really permeated their youthfulness.” One possible use for the money could be disposing of the seized vape products. City Councilwoman Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan) pointed out Wednesday that disposal remains a challenge because of the expense associated with it.

BY COLIN MIXSON NEW YORK DAILY NEWS The half brother of a Queens woman accused of stabbing her father to death supported her claims of childhood abuse at the hands of her dad, telling the Daily News her rage was likely fueled by childhood trauma. Accused killer Anna Cavak, 30, was expected to be extradited from New Jersey to New York City on Wednesday to face murder charges for the death of her 70-year-old father, Peter Cavak. “I love the guy, but the truth of the matter is I don’t think Anna woke up one day and said, ‘Oh, I’m gonna kill my dad,’ ” said the suspect’s half brother, who is the victim’s stepson. “I think she had a psychotic episode, something that boiled up inside her for decades,” added the half brother, who asked that his name be withheld. Police found Peter Cavak’s lifeless body in his 109th Ave. home near 115th St. in South Richmond Hill on June 5. The suspect’s mother, the victim’s longtime girlfriend, told police she heard her daughter scream “He’s trying to kill me” and rushed into their bedroom to find Anna Cavak on top of her father, a Taser lying next to his bloody body, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters at a press briefing Tuesday. After law enforcement nabbed the woman in New Jersey, she detailed the alleged abuse she and her late sister Angelica Cavak endured at the hands of their father, Kenny said. “She made statements once she was interrogated that her father was in a cult and that he was abusive,” the chief said. Anna Cavak also claimed that her sister, who suffered a fatal drug overdose in October 2016, died by suicide as a result of the trauma she experienced because of her father’s abuse. “She made statements that she had a sister that had committed suicide based on the same allegations, that the father was [abusive],” Kenny said. Peter Cavak inherited his abusive tendencies from his own father, a Turkish immigrant who beat him as a child and terrorized Peter Cavak’s mother, according to Anna Cavak’s half brother. “Peter as an adult had a lot of childhood trauma and he projected that onto others,” the sibling said. “I’m not saying he’s a bad person. He had a lot of psychological issues he projected onto his children and his wife.” The half brother, who was raised by Peter Cavak from the age of 3, said he endured painful and humiliating abuse at the hands of his stepfather at a young age, including purposely having his privates caught in his zipper and having his face rubbed in urine whenever he soiled the bed. “Every child deserves a parent, but some parents don’t deserve children,” the half brother said. “There’s certain things parents should do or shouldn’t do. I don’t think he was ever ready to fill that role.” The half brother said he never witnessed sexual abuse of his half sisters, but he said Anna Cavak confided in him at his Texas home last fall when she made accusations similar to what Kenny described. “She just told me it was ongoing,” the half brother said. “It was in her younger years when she was a kid. “If that was the situation, there is still no reason for her to do what she did to him,” he added. He described Anna Cavak as mentally stunted, saying she had difficulty communicating and possessed the emotional maturity of a teenager. “I think childhood trauma had a lot to do with it. She was never diagnosed, but I would imagine she had some type of developmental delays,” the half brother said. “She was a little slow, insecure.” The sibling said his stepfather’s abusive tendencies mellowed with age and they reconciled later in life. “Peter was a good man,” he said. Both Peter Cavak and Anna Cavak’s mother supported their daughter financially, funding her education at an upstate community college, where she struggled, the half-brother said. “She went down the wrong lane and took advantage of Peter and my mother,” the half brother said. Peter Cavak’s brother-in-law described the man as the long-suffering father of an abusive daughter who constantly sought to weasel money out of him. “He moved her upstate to go to school in Albany, was paying her rent for a year, bought her new furniture,” said Demetri Piatos, who is married to Peter Cavak’s sister and has known the victim for 35 years. “All they did was siphon money out of him.” Piatos said Peter Cavak was incapable of the abuse his daughter described to police and that he was no cultist, calling her claims “bulls--t” and a desperate attempt to garner sympathy despite her heinous crime. “She’s just using that to make, I don’t know, whatever case she wants to make,” said Piatos. “I’ve known the guy for 35 years. Never in a million years. No way.” SLAY SUSPECT LAY SUSPECT ABUSE CLAIMS ABUSE CLAIMS Stepson backs accusations by woman epson backs accusations by woman held in murder of father; kin disagrees eld in murder of father; kin disagrees Peter Cavak (left) was found dead with multiple stab wounds in his South Richmond Hill, Queens, home (above) on June 5.

BY NICHOLAS WILLIAMS, ROCCO PARASCANDOLA, THOMAS TRACY AND ELLEN MOYNIHAN NEW YORK DAILY NEWS A 22-year-old woman was stabbed to death by another woman across the street from Manhattan’s Port Authority Bus Terminal, shocking video obtained by the Daily News shows. The victim was stabbed in the chest on W. 40th St. near Eighth Ave. in Midtown about 10:15 p.m. on Tuesday, cops said. Surveillance video shows seven adults, one of them carrying a baby and another with a toddler in a stroller, looking warily down the block to the east, the direction they have just come from. They pause outside a convenience store for about a minute, having a discussion. Suddenly a woman in gray sweatpants and a white T-shirt rushes into the group, lunging for the victim, who was wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. The victim removes her purse from her shoulder to better defend herself. The two women struggle, grappling with each other underneath scaffolding outside the store, moving along the sidewalk as they fight. At one point the pair, locked in a grip, bump into a doorway. The woman with the stroller and the man with the baby stay away from the fray as the other adults watch the fight unfold. The attacker smacks the victim repeatedly on the head, and then, after 16 seconds of fighting, stabs her twice as the crowd around them clears. As a man in a white T-shirt confronts the stabber, pulling her back, the victim eludes the stabber’s grasp, slipping away and running east. As the group scatters, the woman with the knife stands on the sidewalk, holding her wrist before also heading east while appearing to shout something. The entire confrontation lasts 20 seconds. Medics rushed the victim to Bellevue Hospital, but she could not be saved. Her name was not immediately released. Her killer got away and is being sought. A man who knows the victim and was at the scene refused to cooperate with cops, police sources said. A woman who works in the area who declined to give her name told the Daily News on Wednesday that the stabbing came as a surprise. “It was shocking. This is such a busy area,” the woman said. “That’s like the first time a stabbing like that happened here.” Just over two hours earlier, a shooting erupted half a mile away after at least five men got into an argument involving a hot dog vendor near W. 33rd St. and Broadway. A 33-year-old man was harassing the vendor near the corner when four men intervened. The man, who police sources described as emotionally disturbed, backed off but came back a few minutes later and began threatening the hot dog vendor with a knife just before 8 p.m., a police source with knowledge of he case said. The four men jumped in again and a brawl broke out, with the men throwing chairs and other street furniture at the man with the knife. One of the people involved in the fracas pulled out a gun and fired off a shot, striking the 33-year-old man with the knife in the left leg, cops and witnesses said. Pedestrians scrambled when the gunshot rang out, according to an ice cream vendor who was in the area. “[The victim] was sitting on the floor shirtless and bleeding,” said Mike Larry, 32. “He was saying, ‘You shot me in the leg! I want my money!’ ” Medics rushed the victim to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition. Police arrested Mamadou Diallo, 34, and Mamadou Balde, 31, charging both with second-degree assault. While they were involved in the brawl, neither man shot the victim, cops said. Two other men were being sought Wednesday.

BY KERRY BURKE AND ELIZABETH KEOGH NEW YORK DAILY NEWS A fight between two childhood friends in Brooklyn resulted in tragedy Wednesday when a young woman died of a severed artery in a freakish turn of events, the victim’s family and witnesses said. As a three-week-old argument came to a head, an 18-year-old woman and a friend got into a fight in Two Girls Uncle & Cousins Deli & Grocery on Seaview Ave. near Rockaway Parkway in Canarsie around 11:40 a.m., sources and witnesses said. In surveillance footage obtained by the Daily News, the young women could be seen arguing as a crowd formed in the deli. One of the women put down her purse as she apparently readied to fight, but an onlooker stepped between the two in an effort to deescalate the tense situation, the video shows. Others jumped in, working to keep the two women from pummeling each other. One of the women took off her T-shirt, and the two squared up before one threw the first punch, the surveillance footage shows. The women tussled, moving out of the camera’s view as the crowd watched. Eventually, both women left the deli and the 18-year-old, identified by her family as Samaya Cashmere Mackey, chased after her friend-turned-foe with a bottle, police sources said. Mackey pursued her former friend down the street and into nearby Mikey’s Restaurant & Lounge, according to the owner of the eatery, who pleaded with the women to leave. “One girl ran in here and another came after her,” the owner told The News on Wednesday night. “The second girl had something in her hand. She was after the first girl.” The women ran down a flight of stairs and to an office and a set of bathrooms, according to the owner. As Mackey bolted down the stairs behind her rival, she tripped and the bottle shattered, according to police sources. The broken glass nicked an artery in her right arm, and medics were called to the scene. “When they brought her out, she was bleeding from her right arm,” the owner said. “The detectives said that there was no knife and that it was self-inflicted.” Medics rushed Mackey to Brookdale University Hospital, but she could not be saved. “She slipped and the glass went through her underarm and severed her main artery,” said Mackey’s mother, Silver Mackey. “They couldn’t save her. I’m broken.” “I lost my baby, and I lost my twin,” added the 36-year-old grieving mother. “This is a freak accident.” Cops took a woman into custody at the scene but later released her, police said. It was initially believed that Mackey had been fatally stabbed. “They were friends,” said her aunt Tiesha McCloud. “They grew up together. I can’t believe this.” She said Mackey was an aspiring musician. “We were getting her into the studio to make her music,” said McCloud. “She inspired other kids to make music, too.” Mackey was working toward obtaining her GED, according to her mother. “She loved her friends and family,” said Silver Mackey. “She was thoughtful and respectful. She wanted to be a rapper.” Childhood pals fight; 1 dies in bizarre accident 4 Thursday, June 13, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com

BY NICHOLAS WILLIAMS, COLIN MIXSON, KERRY BURKE AND THOMAS TRACY NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Pro-Palestinian protesters vandalized the homes of Brooklyn Museum Director Anne Pasternak and several Jewish board members early Wednesday in what local elected officials are calling an act of “vile antisemitism.” Vandals defaced the front of the homes with red paint and also painted inverted red triangles on the doors, which Jewish advocate Aviva Klompas described as a “symbol used by terrorists to mark targets they want to take out.” Mayor Adams denounced the hateful actions. “This is not peaceful protest or free speech. This is a crime, and it’s overt, unacceptable antisemitism,” he stated on X. “These actions will never be tolerated in New York City for any reason. I’m sorry to Anne Pasternak and members of @brooklynmuseum’s board who woke up to hatred like this.” Adams’ words were echoed by Gov. Hochul, who called the vandalism “an abhorrent act of antisemitism.” Outside of Pasternak’s home in Brooklyn Heights, protesters tied a banner peppered with red handprints reading “Anne Pasternak Brooklyn Museum White-Supremacist Zionist.” “The cowards who did this are way over the line into antisemitism, harming the cause they claim to care about, and making everyone less safe,” city Comptroller Brad Lander posted Wednesday. At least one of the addresses hit was an apartment building on Fifth Ave. on the Upper East Side, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine said. “This is not legitimate protest. This is not free speech. This is vile antisemitism making Jews unsafe,” he wrote on X. “We cannot turn a blind eye to this.” Local residents said they were outraged by the hate display. “It’s terrible what happened,” said Kenneth Albert, 69, a neighbor. “It looks like it’s antisemitic because the word Zionist is in it and then they had a flag here. I have a front apartment, but I didn’t hear anything last night.” A cleaning crew washed away some of the paint. “It’s very uncommon,” another neighbor said. “I never seen any like this happen in this neighborhood.” “We are deeply troubled by these horrible acts,” museum spokesman Taylor Maatman said. City Councilman Lincoln Restler (D-Brooklyn) said there is video capturing the vandalism and that police are investigating. “This vandalism and attack on people’s homes is indefensible and counterproductive,” he wrote. Homes in both Brooklyn and Manhattan were hit between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Wednesday, police confirmed. Detectives were in the process of linking all of the vandalism to the same group. At a Cobble Hill residence on Wednesday afternoon, workers were seen power-washing red paint splattered across the front door, the first-floor facade and first- and second-floor windows. A resident said a person connected to the Brooklyn Museum lived there. Slogans including “Blood on your hands” were stenciled on the residence. “This is terrorism. You’re literally threatening someone and making them feel vulnerable,” said local resident Robert Shlederer, 52. Around 6:15 a.m. Wednesday, 15 protesters splattered the front of the Permanent Observer Mission of the State of Palestine to the United Nations with red paint. Staff there declined to comment to the Daily News. Vandals fled the scene of the mission in a white U-Haul truck. “It was just fake blood and pamphlets all over the place,“ said Debbie Fine, 64, a manager at a doctor’s office in the neighborhood. “There were two big banners rolled out in the street. One said the Palestinian Authority was a puppet authority. “It looked like they also had thrown some rocks,” she added. Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters rallied outside the Brooklyn Museum on May 31, with some getting into the building and setting up tents. NYPD cops arrested 34 protesters during the raucous rally. There has been a steady stream of protests in the city and across the nation since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, sparking a ferocious war in Gaza. On Monday, protesters rallied outside the Nova Exhibition, a memorial created to honor the victims of Hamas’ attack that killed some 1,200 Israelis and took hundreds hostage. Some protesters waved a flag with Hamas’ emblem, as well as a sign lauding the massacre. Adams and relatives of those killed during the Oct. 7 terror attack visited the exhibition Tuesday, calling the previous day’s protest “despicable.” “I cannot describe what I felt,” said Menashe Manzuri, the father of Roya Manzuri, 22, and Norelle Manzuri, 25, who were among the Israelis killed in the Oct. 7 massacre. Manzuri was at the exhibition when the protest broke out Monday. “It was like they killed me again and again and again.” Red paint was sprayed on home of Brooklyn Museum director (inset) and residence in Cobble Hill (main photo) that were among structures hit with hateful messages early Wednesday. ‘ABHORRENT ANTISEMITISM’ ABHORRENT ANTISEMITISM’ Pols rip Gaza protesters’ sick vandalism at homes of B’klyn Museum bigs ols rip Gaza protesters’ sick vandalism at homes of B’klyn Museum bigs COLIN MIXSON FOR NYDN; LINCOLN RESTLER VIA X DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com Thursday, June 13, 2024 5

BY JESSICA SCHLADEBECK NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Twenty children brutally murdered before they could finish first grade would have graduated Newtown High School on Wednesday, likely cheered on by the six educators and staffers who were also killed during the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Among the 330 seniors in the 2024 graduating class, there were some 60 teens who survived one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history. Wednesday’s graduation, a milestone with cause for festive celebrations, also brought with it an undercurrent of grief to the small Connecticut community of Newtown, even more than 11 years after the classroom carnage unfolded. “I am definitely going [to] be feeling a lot of mixed emotions,” 17-year-old Emma Ehrens, one of the surviving students, said ahead of the ceremony. “I’m superexcited to be done with high school and moving on to the next chapter of my life. But I’m also so … mournful, I guess, to have to be walking across that stage alone. … I like to think that they’ll be there with us.” Grace Fischer, who was in a classroom nearby those targeted by the shooter, added: “Even though we are missing … such a big chunk of our class … we are still graduating. We want to be those regular teenagers who walk across the stage that day and feel that, like, celebratory feeling in ourselves, knowing that we’ve come this far.” On Dec. 14, 2012, Adam Lanza shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary, and then gunned down 26 people, among them more than a dozen students no older than 7 years old. The victims also included Principal Dawn Hochsprung, school psychologist Mary Sherlach, and four teachers, all of whom have since been hailed as heroes for sacrificing everything while trying protect their young students. Following a deadly confrontation with Hochsprung and Sherlach, Lanza made his way into the building, stopping first in the kindergarten classroom of teacher Kaitlin Roig, who managed to hide her students in the bathroom. Upon finding the class empty, the gunman moved on to nearby Classroom 8, where he opened fire.

Rousseau was killed alongside Rachel D’Avino, a behavioral therapist, as they huddled in the back of the room, attempting to shield their 15 students, 14 of whom also died. From there, Lanza made his way to Classroom 10. He was met by first grade teacher Victoria Soto, who tried to convince him her students were in the auditorium on the other side of the building. In reality, some crouched under desks while others hid in the closet. Lanza then shot Soto and special education teacher Anne Marie Murphy. He also killed an additional six students before turning the firearm on himself. Over the course of less than five minutes, he fired off more than 154 rounds. Emma was one of 11 children from Classroom 10 to survive the attack. While she feels some anxiety over leaving the Newtown community — one that has supported and protected her in the years since the deadly shooting — she’s also ready to start anew. “It definitely feels for me that we’re kind of stuck in the same system that we’ve been stuck in for past 12 years,” she said. “For me, I feel like it’s definitely going to get better and be able to break free of that system and just be able to become my own person rather than, again, the Sandy Hook kid.” Fischer, now 18, echoed the sentiment, but added that she will never shake what happened in her elementary school so long ago. “Sandy Hook will always be with me,” she said. On their graduation gowns, Newtown High School’s seniors wore green and white ribbons, inscribed with “Forever in Our Hearts,” to remember those who lost their lives in the massacre. There was also a moment during the ceremony to honor the 20 students killed — Charlotte Bacon, 6; Daniel Barden, 7; Olivia Engel, 6; Josephine Gay, 7; Dylan Hockley, 6; Madeleine Hsu, 6; Catherine Hubbard, 6; Chase Kowalski, 7; Jesse Lewis, 6; Ana Marquez-Greene, 6; James Mattioli, 6; Grace McDonnell, 7; Emilie Parker, 6; Jack Pinto, 6; Noah Pozner, 6; Caroline Previdi, 6; Jessica Rekos, 6; Avielle Richman, 6; Benjamin Wheeler, 6; and Allison Wyatt, 6.

BY CAYLA BAMBERGER NEW YORK DAILY NEWS City Schools Chancellor David Banks lent his support Wednesday to a recent state Education Department proposal to drop the Regents exams as a high school graduation requirement. “I’m in favor of it, and not in lowering standards. You have to have academically rigorous programming. But I think that there are other ways for kids to demonstrate what they know and what they’re able to do,” he said on “PIX11 Morning News.” His remarks came after state officials released their vision to overhaul the public school diploma this week to a mixed response. While many teachers and advocates support a shift away from exit exams, which remain in use in just nine states, others raised concerns it could open the floodgates to diminished expectations, leaving graduates unprepared for college and the workforce. The changes are not final until the Board of Regents approves them, but Banks (photo bottom) suggested the tests should not be as high-stakes. “I wasn’t a great test taker. It shouldn’t come down to one day, one test, two hours that determines all of the things that you’ve learned for the entire year. I think that there are many other ways for us to look at that,” he said. “I salute the [state Education] Commissioner [Betty Rosa] for at least opening this up for a community conversation.” Under current state policy, most graduates have to pass at least four Regents exams and another state-approved assessment, and meet certain credit requirements. In addition to the Regents proposal, state officials also plan to offer only one type of New York diploma, rework credit requirements and broaden the skills and knowledge students need to graduate. The state Education Department is hosting a series of public hearings between July and October on the changes. Officials are expected to present an implementation plan to the Board of Regents in November. Ed. chief OK with dropping Regents to graduate rule BY CAYLA BAMBERGER NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Three dozen New York City youth and immigration organizations signed on to a letter Wednesday to demand that Mayor Adams allocate $4 million to broaden services the city’s public schools can offer to students or their parents who speak little to no English. Adams and the City Council reached a deal this month to continue funding a series of education program launched during the pandemic. But still on the chopping block is a push for immigrant family engagement, as tens of thousands of parents with limited English skills seek asylum in New York. “Reaching immigrant families requires more than just translation and interpretation,” read the memo from Advocates for Children of New York, the Legal Aid Society, the New York Immigration Coalition and other groups. While public school families speak more than 150 languages, according to the advocates, the city Education Department posts communications online in only the nine most spoken languages. Through the program, which launched three years ago, education officials partner with local organizations and ethnic media to share school-related updates to parents who otherwise may have been shut out of their children’s education. It also reaches families via text, call and hard-copy letters, helps schools buy equipment for interpreters, and funds campaigns in churches, supermarkets and hair salons to make sure parents know their rights, such as to ask for an interpreter at their child’s school. “With the recent increase in the number of newly arrived immigrant families in New York City, a multifaceted approach to immigrant family communication is needed now more than ever,” the letter continued. An estimated 38,000 migrant children have enrolled in the city’s public schools since the influx began, including 20,000 just this school year, according to Education Department data. It’s an investment that parent Sandy Mite Torres could benefit from as she tries to find the right schools for her three children after they fled death threats in Ecuador. Mite Torres was placed at a migrant tent camp on a remote Brooklyn former airfield before moving to a hotel-turned-shelter in Midtown. Two of her kids transferred to closer schools, but she commutes six hours each day to drop off and pick up her autistic, 5-year-old son at Public School 115 in Canarsie, Brooklyn. “When there are crises, I need to know what’s happened,” Mite Torres said through a translator. “But the problem is that the school, nobody speaks Spanish there, nobody can understand him. And then they cannot explain to me what has happened.

While the fate of the program remains uncertain, the City Council in its response to Adams’ preliminary budget said it supported continuing the initiative. A spokesman for the mayor said he “deeply believes that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, no matter where they came from.” In April, Adams and the Council allocated $6 million in the city budget to extend translation and interpretation services currently funded by expiring federal pandemic aid. The mayor’s office said translation services are available to families and multiple programs for students learning English. There are more than 3,400 local teachers licensed to prepare children to speak English and 1,700 certified bilingual teachers fluent in Spanish. “We look forward to adopting a budget that reflects the administration and the Council’s mutual priorities around support for immigrant youth and their families,” the statement said, “rebuilds our economy, protects public safety, and makes our city more livable for working-class people.” School buses at Br School buses at Brooklyn’s Floyd ooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Field, wher Bennett Field, where migrants e migrants have been sheltered.

BY EMMA SEIWELL, THOMAS TRACY AND ELLEN MOYNIHAN NEW YORK DAILY NEWS A woman nicknamed “Bad B---h” who’s accused of fatally slitting a mother’s throat during a brawl outside an illegal Bronx club went on with life as usual after the crime — ordering pizza and asking her super to fix her refrigerator before she was tracked down by cops, according to neighbors. Jalessa Richardson (inset top) was arrested Wednesday for the June 1 slaying of 37-year-old Ashley Smith (inset bottom), police said. “I’m just so happy, I can’t even explain how I’m feeling right now,” the victim’s mother, Monique Smith, 59, said Wednesday. “I’m just so happy that they were able to find this girl. It was senseless,” said the victim’s mother. Police say the suspect has two nicknames: “Duchess Dior” and “Bad B---h.” Monique Smith told the Daily News that police shared details with her about how they tracked Richardson down, including monitoring the suspect’s social media accounts and alerting other jurisdictions to be on the lookout. Her Facebook page revealed she’d recently visited Coney Island, the grieving mom said, citing her conversation with cops. “They had the warrant squad looking for her,” she continued. “The day that I went to the police station we happened to see a lot of police cars driving very slow. Officers were looking out the windows. … They weren’t playing. “I pray for anyone that’s gone through this like I have that they get the same justice because this just doesn’t make any kind of sense,” Monique Smith added. “It’s not going to bring my daughter back, but it does give her justice. Now I know she can rest in peace knowing that they have caught this girl.” Both Richardson, 32, and Smith were partying at the makeshift after-hours club, which was operating out of a several garages on Oakley St. near E. 219th St. in Highbridge, before the slay, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Tuesday. Smith went to the club, dubbed a “Weekend Sauce” event, with three friends, one of whom was knocked to the ground during an argument, Kenny said. After the scuffle, a bouncer kicked all 40 of the guests out onto the street just before 6:10 a.m., he added. Once on the street, a fight broke out among the large group and Smith was slashed in the neck. Medics rushed her to Jacobi Medical Center, where she died a short time later, police said. Richardson, who lives in the Mount Eden section of the Bronx, fled the scene, cops said. On Wednesday afternoon, she was silent as she was walked from the 47th Precinct stationhouse while wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt with the words “Laugh Now, Cry Later” printed on the back. A police source said she had been arrested in Queens. Neighbors at her Walton St. address were stunned to hear she has been arrested for murder. “Oh, my God. That’s kind of shocking … I can’t believe it,” said the building’s superintendent, who identified himself as Mr. Rosario. “She’s always been nice,” added Rosario, 47, who said he and Richardson always greeted each other with a fist bump whenever they met. “Nothing bad to say about her. “Very quiet, and decent. Always goes to work and then comes back by 7.” The man didn’t know her occupation. Rosario said that Richardson had been at home as usual and was in contact with him Tuesday morning, requesting help for her leaking refrigerator. An 18-year-old neighbor who declined to give her name said she encountered Richardson numerous times outside their building acting in a friendly manner. “She smiled at you. So I don’t know, I didn’t expect to hear that,” the person said. The teen’s mother said that Richardson had been “disrespectful” when she first moved in, allowing her friends to ring different doorbells to get into the building at 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. The neighbor, 33, said she last saw Richardson outside the building. “I saw her a few days ago, she was getting a pizza outside. She ordered a pizza.” Smith, who grew up in Yonkers, was just days away from moving out of a Bronx shelter into her own apartment, her mother told The News last week. “I just can’t understand why everybody else is alive and my daughter’s dead,” Monique Smith said after the slaying. “Why is she the only one that’s gone if there were that many people fighting?” Smith had two sons, ages 21 and 14, and a 9-year-old daughter. Her oldest son and his girlfriend were expecting their own child when the grandmother-to-be was killed. Monique Smith said the baby was expected Tuesday, less than two weeks after her daughter was murdered. On Wednesday, Monique Smith said the rest of her family was just as happy as she was to see Richardson charged. “My grandkids, they’re ecstatic and glad, and they can’t wait to sit in court,” she said. On the way to school, her granddaughter said, “I can’t wait to see this girl’s face. I want to see her. I want to look at her,” Monique Smith recounted. Richardson’s arraignment in Bronx Criminal Court was pending Wednesday on charges of murder, manslaughter and weapon possession.

BY CHRIS SOMMERFELDT AND JOHN ANNESE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS For years, Mayor Adams went to extraordinary lengths to privately pacify Lamor Whitehead, as the ex-con-turned-pastor picked fights with his top adviser, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, and pressed him for financial and political help, a trove of text messages exchanged between the two men reveal. The texts were seized by federal prosecutors as part of their case against Whitehead, a self-described Adams mentee who was convicted in March on charges that he defrauded several people and banks, including by falsely telling a businessman in 2022 the mayor could secure government favors for them. The mayor wasn’t accused of wrongdoing in the case. The texts, which span from 2016 through 2022, were referenced during Whitehead’s trial, but most of them have never been previously reported. The Daily News this week obtained the full 67-page cache of texts seized by the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office, which prosecuted Whitehead. The messages show how Adams was willing to even criticize Lewis-Martin, his trusted chief adviser at City Hall, in a bid to calm Whitehead down. “The two of you have anger management issues and need to grow up,” Adams texted Whitehead on Aug. 30, 2018, referring to him and Lewis-Martin. “The reason you two don’t get along is because you both are immature and need to grow up. I have too much to do to entertain it.” Lewis-Martin, who started working for Adams in the early 2000s and served as his deputy Brooklyn borough president before City Hall, has publicly earned nothing but praise from him. His 2018 text about Lewis-Martin came after Whitehead had called her a “b—h” in a text and claimed she had prevented him from trying to “make money” off of a concert series Adams, who then served as Brooklyn borough president, was helping host at the time. In direct response to that expletive-riddled missive, Adams, who was at the time laying the groundwork for his 2021 mayoral run, texted Whitehead he was about to meet with “potential donors” and did not have “time at this point to deal with personality clashes” between him and Lewis-Martin. Asked about the texts, Adams spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak said Wednesday the mayor considers Lewis-Martin “a sister” and “has nothing but the utmost respect and love for” her. “These texts are a response to one specific incident and in no way speak to the mayor’s real feelings about Ingrid,” Mamelak added. Whitehead, who’s in jail pending his sentencing, didn’t return a request for comment via his lawyer. The texts obtained by The News show Whitehead griped for years to Adams about Lewis-Martin sidelining him from making money off of Brooklyn concert series. “I bust my ass to make sure this concert worked and now I’m finding out that Ingrid … has F—-D ME!!!! … I have busted my a– !! And I’m the only one not getting S–t !!!! … Everyone eating on my connect,” he texted Adams in summer 2017 about another event. Adams, who was traveling in China at the time, wrote Whitehead, “I can’t manage the situation from China and I am not going to try.” Months earlier, Adams had asked Whitehead to dial down his tone. “Life is not a prison yard where all disagreements must in [sic] with a Shank,” Adams texted on Aug. 26, 2016. “The most powerful lesson I learned from my mentor is one must have the discipline to walk away when you want to smack the s–t out of someone.” Whitehead also asked Adams for political advice as he was trying to mount an ultimately ERIC-BLING BISHOP TEXTS RIC-BLING BISHOP TEXTS SHOW FEUD WITH TOP AIDE HOW FEUD WITH TOP AIDE Messages seized by feds for Whitehead trial reveal mayor said essages seized by feds for Whitehead trial reveal mayor said in 2018 that fraudster & adviser Lewis-Martin ‘need to grow up’ n 2018 that fraudster & adviser Lewis-Martin ‘need to grow up’ Mayor Adams eventually gave the brush to “Bling Bishop” Lamor Whitehead (right).

BY EVAN SIMKO-BEDNARSKI NEW YORK DAILY NEWS City Comptroller Brad Lander and a coalition of advocates and business leaders said Wednesday they were preparing to sue Gov. Hochul’s administration to enact congestion pricing despite Hochul’s “indefinite pause” of the program. The coalition — which includes transit advocacy organizations like Transportation Alternatives, Riders Alliance, Open Plans and the National Resources Defense Council, as well as business leaders from the Partnership for New York City — has not yet filed any legal action. But attorney Michael Gerrard, a professor at Columbia Law School, said at a news conference in lower Manhattan Wednesday that the group expects to file at least one suit within “a couple of weeks.” The state’s congestion pricing plan — on which some $15 billion in MTA funding relied — was set to go into effect June 30. MTA Chairman Janno Lieber said Monday that the cameras meant to enforce the erstwhile toll were indeed already operating and tracking traffic. The toll was written into New York law in 2019, when legislators said the MTA board “shall” implement congestion pricing as part of a bid to fund the agency. But Hochul upended that plan — which had taken five years of planning and federal authorizations and was facing at least eight separate legal challenges — when she announced last week that she had directed the MTA “to indefinitely pause the program.” The shock announcement, just three weeks before the plan was to be put in place, upended the MTA’s budget and left the agency’s ability to do even basic repairs in question. Proposals to replace the lost congestion-pricing money with a payroll tax or take money from the state’s general fund fell flat among lawmakers in Albany last week. “Gov. Hochul has already violated the law,” Gerrard said. “We could sue right away. But we want to see what the other agencies do so that we have our case fully together.” Lander (photo) said the group would wait to see if other potential efforts to reinstate the toll were effective — but that if congestion pricing were not in effect come June 30, “We are ready and able to take the state to court.” Lander said the coalition — which is still seeking plaintiffs for a potential suit — would wait at least until the MTA board’s next meeting to file. “The governor’s pause is not yet definitive,” Lander said. “The MTA board is set to meet on June 26, and we’ll need to wait and see what they do.” Andrew Albert, a nonvoting member of the MTA board, said Hochul’s flip-flop on congestion pricing left the transit agency in dire financial straits. “This cannot be allowed,” he said. “I don’t know if the MTA board will vote at this meeting on the 26th to confirm their support for congestion pricing,” Albert continued. “But we have a fiduciary responsibility to make sure that everything is good with the MTA, and I expect that my fellow board members will be doing just that. It remains an open question what power that board — bound by law to implement congestion pricing — has to enact a program the governor has made clear she will not back. The state Department of Transportation — one of the three socalled “project sponsors,” along with the MTA and the NYC Transportation Department — must sign off on a federal agreement that would allow tolling on the roads, a signoff Hochul is expected to block. Asked to respond to the threat of legal action Wednesday, Hochul spokesman Avi Small said he could not comment on “pending or hypothetical litigation.” “Like the majority of New Yorkers, Gov. Hochul believes this is not the right time to implement congestion pricing,” he added in a statement. With Josephine Stratman Lander to join groups in lawsuit vs. gov over congest-pricing move unsuccessful campaign to succeed him as borough president. “You win the race by raising money. We went over this already,” Adams texted Whitehead on Aug. 17, 2018, after he asked how to win the BP race. “Have to raise money. Everything else is fluff.” There were other times when Adams told Whitehead to stop publicly indicating he had his political support. “You are not my candidate for Boro President,” Adams texted on May 2, 2018, after Whitehead had publicly suggested he had Adams’ backing. “You a good friend but you have to be ready. This is not a game.” Three years later, on June 11, 2021, Whitehead texted a poster for his BP campaign that claimed Adams had endorsed him. “I am not endorsing in the BP race … Don’t put me in a position where the press gets this flyer and ask am I endorsing you. Then your opponents will right [sic] a story saying you are misleading,” responded Adams, who won the 2021 Democratic mayoral primary days later. Whitehead, who’s known as the “Bling Bishop” due to his penchant for flashy clothing, initiated what he has described as a “mentorship” with Adams in the early 2010s. According to sources, Adams first met Whitehead, who had spent time in prison years earlier on other fraud charges, in connection with events honoring Whitehead’s father, Arthur Miller, a businessman killed by police in 1978. Whitehead is currently at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting sentencing. Prosecutors have asked he receive 12½ years in prison. The feds stressed as part of Whitehead’s prosecution that Adams wasn’t aware of the pastor’s use of his name to advance his scheme, which included him extorting a Bronx businessman for a $500,000 real estate investment he falsely claimed had the mayor’s support. After becoming mayor, Adams stopped interacting regularly with Whitehead, the texts show. “I’ve been calling you for over 2 months now trying to meet with you however you are meeting with everyone else but me. I guess I’m not in your vision,” Whitehead texted him on Feb. 16, 2022. “I would’ve never thought you would treat me this way!” BARRY WILLIAMS FOR NYDN DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com Thursday, June 13, 2024 11

BY JOHN ANNESE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS A fugitive leader of MS-13 will be hauled back to New York to face terrorism charges after his arrest in Texas over the weekend, according to federal prosecutors. Cesar Humberto Lopez-Larios, 45, oversaw the bloodthirsty gang’s rise in El Salvador and the U.S. starting in 2002, and sat in MS-13’s inner circle, which ran military-style training camps and ordered murders, assaults, kidnapping, drug dealing, extortion and other crimes, the feds say. Lopez-Larios (inset) was arrested at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston on Sunday after three years on the run. He’ll appear in a federal courtroom on Long Island at a later date. He’s the third of 14 MS13 leaders to be arrested on a 2020 indictment alleging terrorism and narco-terrorism conspiracy. The feds have indicted a total 27 members of the gang’s leadership structure in two separate cases. “The arrest of Lopez-Larios, who is one of the most senior leaders of MS-13 in the world, is a significant achievement for law enforcement and another crucial step in the dismantling of this international criminal enterprise,” Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said Monday. “The defendant will soon face a reckoning in a federal courtroom on Long Island where, acting on his orders, MS-13 has spilled so much blood and turned communities into war zones.” MS-13 got its start in Los Angeles among the city’s community of Salvadoran immigrants, then rose to power after the U.S. deported thousands of Salvadorans in the early 1990s. The gang’s members were linked to dozens of murders on Long Island and in Queens in the mid-2010s, often using machetes to chop up their victims, leading to a series of crackdowns that netted scores of suspects in recent years. Lopez-Larios is accused of being part of MS-13’s top leadership, who dubbed themselves the “12 Apostles of the Devil” as they sat in a prison in El Salvador in 2002. Lopez-Larios could face a lifetime prison sentence if convicted. MS-13 big busted, will face terror raps on L.I.: feds BY EMMA SEIWELL AND LEONARD GREENE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Long Island serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann visited a Suffolk County gun club in 2003, just days before the remains of one of the women he is newly accused of killing was found in the woods nearby, according to a new report. Last week, prosecutors charged Heuermann with the murder of Jessica Taylor, 20, one of six people so far linked to the suspected serial killer. Taylor’s partial remains were discovered in a wooded lot near the Long Island Expressway on July 25, 2003. The body had been decapitated and both arms had been severed. According to Newsday, the remains were found about a mile from the edge of the Peconic River Sportsman’s Club, where records show Heuermann had been in attendance just days before. An excerpt from a day planner revealed by prosecutors, dated July 20, 2003, showed Heuermann was scheduled to be at the club the day before Taylor disappeared. Online researchers later found photographs that appear to show the suspect training young marksmen at a similar event in 2006. Heuermann was not a member of the club but is an avid gun collector. Investigators found and seized 280 guns during a search of his Massapequa Park home. “Mr. Heuermann was not and is not a member of the Peconic River Sportsman’s Club,” Kerry Goldberg, a representative of the gun club, told Newsday. “Mr. Heuermann did participate in a few high-powered rifle events at the club, which were open to the public. His role was to ensure safety while working directly with an individual student who took the course and assist them while shooting.” Last week, Heuermann was charged with second-degree murder in the 1993 death of Sandra Costilla and the 2003 death of Taylor. He was previously charged with the deaths of four sex workers whose remains were found near one another along a stretch of Ocean Parkway known as Gilgo Beach between late fall 2010 and early spring 2011. Authorities said Taylor, a sex worker, died between July 21 and July 26, 2003. Costilla was murdered between Nov. 19 and 20, 1993, according to the indictment. Gilgo suspect visited gun club days before body found: report Serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann (right, in court with attorney) visited the Peconic River Sportsman’s Club in Suffolk County days before the remains of Jessica Taylor, 20 (below), were found in the woods about a mile away, according to a new report.

Jose Cruz was discovered on the bench in Williamsbridge Oval field near Putnam Place and Reservoir Oval East in Norwood about 5:25 a.m. on Sunday, cops said. He suffered multiple fatal puncture wounds to the neck near his shoulder, cops said. Medics took him to Jacobi Medical Center, but he couldn’t be saved. The city medical examiner declared his death a homicide following an autopsy. Cruz lived in Gowanus, Brooklyn, according to cops. No arrests have been made. Man, 66, cops found dying on Bx. bench had been stabbed BY ROCCO PARASCANDOLA NEW YORK DAILY NEWS A second teen suspect was nabbed Wednesday in the May shooting death of a 16-year-old boy trying to place peacemaker in an ongoing feud among SoHo high school students, police said. The new suspect, a 16-yearold boy, was picked up in Newark and charged with murder in the May 7 shooting of Mahki Brown. The suspect’s name was not released by the NYPD because he is underage. Accused triggerman Henry Thomas, 19, was arrested May 17, identified in part by his uniquely colored sneakers, police said. The 16-year-old suspect and Thomas were caught on video as the 16-year-old rode a Citi Bike into the courtyard of the luxury Dominick Hotel on Spring St. near Varick St., according to cops. Thomas, riding on the bike as a passenger behind the 16-year-old, allegedly pulled out a .380-caliaber handgun and opened fire, striking Mahki in the head and legs. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said the victim was “playing peacemaker here.” Mahki attended the nearby Broome Street Academy, where a day earlier two other students, both teen girls, had fought following a staredown, Kenny said. The girls went their separate ways, but decided to fight again the next day, this time with a third girl in tow, outside the hotel, Kenny said. The brother of one of the girls who fought the day before stepped in at that point to prevent the fight, Kenny said, but then the third girl said she was going to call her brother. The suspects showed up moments later and approached the crowd of about 30 students, Kenny said, with the gunman opening fire just as Mahki was stepping forward to try to quash the dispute. LUIZ C.

BY ELLEN MOYNIHAN NEW YORK DAILY NEWS A woman who was punched in the face by an investment banker in a viral video after Brooklyn’s Pride Parade says she and her friends were frightened by the “a tornado of violence”. The woman, who identified herself only as Micah P., told NBC 4 New York her nose was broken in four places after the blow, which took place around 10:30 p.m. Saturday on Fifth Ave. and Third St. in Park Slope. “When we saw him walk by we immediately, like, kind of just turned to each other and were like ‘Don’t engage with that guy, he seems drunk or unhinged or something,' ” Micah told the station. “He seemed very angry when he walked by.” Banker Jonathan Kaye called them “useful idiots” and continued down the block until she asked him what he said, according to Micah’s account. “He turned back around and just started rushing us,” she told the station. She took her bottle of water and splashed it at Kaye. In the shocking video, Kaye strikes the woman in the face so hard she reels backward and falls down on the street. Another person can be seen in the background of the video lying on the ground as two people offer assistance. “She f—ing threw s–t all over me,” Kaye, who appeared to have liquid on his jacket, said to bystanders who admonished him. Micah told NBC 4 New York that Kaye shoved several of her friends and attacked another, causing that man to fall on his face on the street. The TV station says someone claiming to represent Kaye contacted them and directed them to a tabloid story claiming Micah and her group of friends instigated the incident and used anti-Semitic slurs, which Micah denied. “There was no conversation,” she told the station. “We didn’t even get a chance to get a read of him. He was enraged and terrifying. He was a big strange man who just ran up on us and started swinging almost immediately.” Despite Micah and her friends being hurt she says she will not file a police report because she doesn’t have faith in the NYPD, although she told NBC she will discuss other options with a lawyer. “I want this man to be held accountable for the harm he’s done on his community and the members of my friend group. So I want him to be a better person after this,” she told the station. “I want him to take anger management. I want him to get therapy. I want him to not be in a position of power until he is able to be a better member of community.” Kaye is listed on the website of Moelis & Co., a Manhattan investment bank, as a managing director who leads the global business services franchise. The bio says Kaye graduated from Duke University School of Law. “We have become aware that one of our employees was involved in a serious incident in Brooklyn on June 8,” a Moelis spokesman told the Daily News Tuesday. “We take this matter very seriously and are conducting an investigation.” NYPD officials have said they are aware of the video but have no complaints on file and so are urging any victims to come forward. ‘Tornado of violence’ as she’s bashed by banker in Brooklyn DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com Thursday, June 13, 2024 15 FUTURE WINDOWS & SIDING WINDOWS & SIDING 718-224-7079 917-945-7079 Vinyl DELUXE Tilt-In Windows with 7/8 Insulated Glass Screens & Night Locks $199 INSTALLED INSTALLED Metal Removable Slightly Higher FLAT ROOFS SHINGLE ROOFS VINYL SIDING $899 Up to 600 sq. ft.

BY JOSEPH WILKINSON NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Janelle Monae, Chappell Roan and Renee Rapp will headline the inaugural New York City edition of the All Things Go music festival. The event, affectionately referred to as “Gay-Chella” and “Lesbopalooza,” will take place at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens on Sept. 28 and 29. Joining Monae, Roan and Rapp will be Ethel Cain, Muna, Julien Baker, Holly Humberstone, Maisie Peters and several other artists. Ticket presales for the festival begin Thursday at 10 a.m., according to organizers. Two-day general admission tickets start at $149. All Things Go will be running two simultaneous festivals on Sept. 28 and 29: one in Columbia, Md., about 15 miles west of downtown Baltimore, and the one in Forest Hills. Most of the headliners will perform one day in Maryland and the other day in New York. Some of the headliners from the Maryland festival — Laufey, Bleachers, Hozier, Conan Gray and Maren Morris — will not play the NYC event. Also performing in New York will be Del Water Gap, Soccer Mommy, Coco & Clair Clair, Towa Bird, Samia, Mannequin Pussy, Indigo DeSouza and Annie DiRusso. Gates open at noon on both days. “The magic of All Things Go is coming to NYC. Get ready for a legendary weekend of unforgettable music, iconic moments and world-class besties,” organizers wrote on the festival website. All Things Go was started as a one-day festival in 2014 run by four music bloggers in the Washington, D.C., area. In 2018, the organizers handed control of the lineup to Maggie Rogers and Lizzy Plapinger (LPX). They built a largely female schedule headlined by Rogers, Billie Eilish and Carly Rae Jepsen. Since then, the festival has branded itself as a “female-forward” event and become a popular show for LGBTQ people in the D.C. area. “Whoa, it’s like Lesbopalooza in here,” Muna’s Naomi McPherson said at last year’s festival, just minutes into the band’s set. Fans cheer last year at the All Things Go festival in Maryland. This year, the two-day event is coming to Queens, featuring Chappell Roan (left) and Janelle Monae (right).

NYC HIDDEN DINING GEMS BY KAITLYN ROSATI NEW YORK DAILY NEWS New York City is probably only second to Italy itself when it comes to the best Italian food in the world. Though most people in this city flock to their favorite Italian restaurant in search of high-carb, saucy and cheesy comfort foods, many don’t realize there’s another side to Italian food. In the rustic Italian countryside, you’ll find a much simpler approach to food: veggie-forward, minimalist salads and lightly seasoned cuts of meat and fish. But don’t worry, you don’t need a flight to Italy to try it; just head to Manducatis Rustica VIG in Long Island City, Queens. I popped into Manducatis Rustica VIG on a sunny afternoon with a friend. The eatery’s owner, Gianna Cerbone, a third-generation resident of Long Island City, greeted us with a boisterous hug and smile like we were longtime friends. Despite being in the middle of preparing a catering order, she held a conversation with us while doing a minimum of 100 other things, simultaneously insisting that we take a seat. The seamless chaos of it all instantly made me feel like I had just arrived at my nonna’s house for Sunday supper. Almost immediately after we were seated in the brick-exposed dining room adorned with photos by the late Tony Vaccaro, we received some fresh bread. Shortly thereafter came a colorful panzanella salad, also known as “bread salad” since it’s typically made with cubed day-old bread. It was bursting with heirloom tomatoes, charred onions, balsamic vinegar reduction, and topped with apples appears. As I took a bite, I caught on to some herbs mixed throughout: mint, basil and oregano. While scarfing my crunchy bread salad, another colorful plate of vegetables appeared, this time, in pops of green and a pink-purple hybrid that can only be attributed to beets. The dishes at Manducatis Rustica VIG are bright and simple, debunking the myth that all Italian cuisine must leave you in a food coma. The plating incorporates some humble techniques like a spoon smear of sauce and creating height thanks to stacked layers. Overall, the initial comfort of being in my family’s house continued to come through, which is by design. “I don’t want to be a five-star restaurant or a Michelin-star restaurant,” Gianna said. “I want to stay in a business where customers have a place to call home.” Though it such a vegetable-forward establishment, the heart wants what it wants, so I ordered the calamari dorati, or fried calamari. At Manducatis Rustica VIG, even the calamari comes with vegetables — this time a side of light, crunchy sweet potato chips. While we could’ve stopped there, my friend and I decided to split a main dish. We opted for the rack of lamb, which sat sneakily atop a bed of roasted carrots, accompanied by a sweet potato puree and some roasted brussels sprouts. The tenderness of the lamb with a nice charred exterior let me know that Manducatis Rustica does meat just as well as veggies, and had me planning my return to try their Italian steak frites made with Pat LaFrieda beef. If you want the red sauce pastas and pizzas you’re used to, you can certainly opt for that here, too. Whether it’s bucatini all’amatriciana (one of the few restaurants I’ve seen stateside that makes a proper one), cacio e pepe with mushrooms or Penne Mama G’s — made with “Mamma’s Famous Sauce” — the pasta dishes here are guaranteed to warm your heart. While we’re on the subject of cold, New York is starting to reach some fiery temperatures, so if you’re looking for a scoop of homemade gelato, Manducatis Rustica VIG is here to serve. You don’t need to dine in to enjoy it, as there’s a small takeout window dedicated to satisfying your sweet tooth. But I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t encourage you to experience Manducatis Rustica VIG from start to finish. l Address: 46-35 Vernon Blvd., Queens, N.Y. 11101 l Phone: (718) 937-1312 l Hours: Closed Mondays and Tuesdays; Wednesday-Thursday 4 p.m.-9:30 p.m.; Friday-Saturday 4 p.m.-10:30 p.m.; Sunday 11:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. l Prices: Insalate $15-$17; Pizze $14- $20; Antipasti $15-$22; Carne & Pesci $26-38; Primi $24-$26; Contorni $6-$9; Bambini Menu $13-$14 l Takeout and delivery available; reservations accepted.

T he annual Homeless Outreach Population Estimate, the HOPE count, of street homeless folk took place this January, and the results are in: 4,140 individuals were tallied, just slightly more than last year’s 4,042. That the street homeless stat has remained about static from last year could be read as a failure in a vacuum, before you consider that the NYC homeless shelter population has effectively doubled in that time, driven almost entirely by the arrival of more than 200,000 asylum seekers. It is a testament to the city’s compassion and commitment and ability to keep people from having to resort to the danger and indignity of the streets that the count remains so low, whereas much smaller cities have far larger street homeless numbers. Mayor Adams’ modifications to the right to shelter consent decrees for migrants were necessary. No one wanted asylum seekers to end up on the street and so far we haven’t seen that, as it appears that the transition is being managed adequately. All New Yorkers, newcomers or not, who need a shelter placement are still getting one. In a city of our size and complexity, that’s an achievement, and one borne out of careful work by the Department of Homeless Services and other agencies working together to make inroads with the street homeless population, connect them to services and case management and help them find permanent homes. Nearly 1,000 people last year were ultimately connected to subsidized permanent housing. The work here is by definition never done, and there are plenty of policy and practice shifts that could make things better. The city’s recent efforts to somewhat replicate the refugee resettlement system with asylum seekers in Buffalo can be a model to help set up migrants in places that’ll welcome them without having to continue overburdening the city shelter system. Part of the homelessness equation is the lack of available and affordable homes, and on that front the city and state have long dropped the ball. H opefully, the state’s reinstatement of a 421a-like affordable housing development incentive and other pro-housing shifts, though weaker than the expansive and ultimately failed agenda Gov. Hochul had set out last year, will move the needle. So might policies ushered in by the potential approval by the third and final plank of the mayor’s City of Yes plan, which would target zoning requirements and other regulatory obstacles to housing construction. We should also ensure that those who are suffering from problems that helped cause their homelessness, including mental health issues and substance abuse, are receiving the support they need to stabilize themselves. That means reversing the decline in available mental health beds and supporting programs for substance recovery, including the overdose prevention centers that the state has so far stubbornly refused to sanction or fund. With all these parts working together with the city’s existing efforts on Safe Haven beds and outreach teams, we can make NYC the city that all but eliminates street homelessness, not by making it illegal, as some others have tried to do and is now before the U.S. Supreme Court, but by helping those in need. Better off the streets S peaking freely at a glitzy Supreme Court Historical Society event earlier this month, Justice Samuel Alito pointed out that there are “fundamental things that really can’t be compromised” in society, and speculated that “one side or the other is going to win.” The comments were recorded by a documentarian who had attended the events and surreptitiously recorded the justices as they increasingly find themselves under the microscope for tossing precedent overboard and embarking on ideologically rigid right-wing path. At the same event, Chief Justice John Roberts showed how justices are supposed to approach these questions, telling the documentarian that the court should not be a moral compass for the country, nor trying to put us on the path towards being a Christian nation. Alito is right about one thing — one side or the other indeed will win. He may think of this as a battle between the political right and left, with the latter characterized as an out-of-control force wrecking the country. But that’s not really what’s happening here; it’s a contest between a conception of the court and the broader government as a tool to protect rights and small-l liberal commitments, or one to impose a reactionary agenda against all that. We cannot have a society that simultaneously respects values like self-determination, protection of civil rights and access to health care and abortion, while being run by minority factions hell-bent on imposing their personal religious values on everyone. The vision of strict and strictly enforced social and economic hierarchy based on some imagined bygone conservative principles is fundamentally incompatible with the principles that this country holds as its high ideals. The trouble is Alito, who holds an office that is meant to safeguard the latter, is fighting on the opposite side. Yet it’s considered impolite to point this out, despite the fact that the justice has been all but explicit about it, with his public rhetoric and with Jan. 6 and Christian nationalist flags (dubiously blamed entirely on his wife). Now here he is, being even clearer in agreeing that the country must return to some sort of “godliness.” T his is just one instance that happened to be recorded, but there’s no doubt Alito and his fellow ultra-conservative justices are toeing this line elsewhere, like the privately-funded retreats put on by right-wing legal groups and the trips organized by Clarence Thomas’ benefactor Harlan Crow. They’re generally fine being so open about it because experience has shown they will face little accountability or consequences. That should change. The Constitution created the three branches of government as co-equal, keeping one another in check. It did not put the Supreme Court above everything else, untouchable by either electoral will or scrutiny from other branches. The Congress should force the justices to clarify some of their conflicts of interest and outside entanglements, under oath. No more polite invitations for justices to decline, no more justices reluctantly making disclosures only after reporters and oversight groups dig up million-dollar gifts they’ve received. Use the levers of government to rein the justices in, while we still have a liberal democracy to defend. No honor system A t a time when we can’t seem to agree on anything, one sentiment bridges the political gap among “The Olds”: kids today spend too much time on their phones. I don’t disagree. But that pixelated genie is out of the digital bottle. These are kids, primarily teenagers, whose frontal lobes aren’t yet fully-formed. Telling them they can’t do something only makes them want it more. We will not regulate their addiction away by putting the cookie jar where they can’t reach it. As the parent of a 13-year-old and a 17-year-old, for example, cell phones are banned at our dinner table. But with everyone instantly and perpetually connected, FOMO is at an all-time high, and being left out of the loop can be (or feel like) social suicide. Thanks, Mom. As a parent, it’s difficult to relate (having grown up in the Stone Age) but teenage communication and socialization is not substantively different today. Communication counters isolation and they’re still talking to one another, just by way of their fingers. The behavior itself is not new (recall the telephone relays you engaged in at that age) only the technology is. When I see my kids’ heads buried in their phones, they are usually engaged in modern conversation, their thumbs flying faster than their tongues ever could. I don’t understand most of the memes they share, but is sharing a Distracted Boyfriend image so different from voicing “Talk to the hand” or “Wasssuuuppp?” My sympathies for our addicted adolescents wane, however when it comes to phones in school. It is a problem, full stop. Teachers are rightfully frustrated, and this behavior should not be tolerated, full stop. Just like talking during class is a problem; passing notes; daydreaming. The proposed solution is to ban cell phone use in all schools. But why, in a school setting, would we not teach our kids the same lessons of agency and accountability we impart when they talk in class, pass notes, or are similarly disruptive or distracted? Instead, by removing the ability for students to prove themselves or fail, the lesson is that not only do they not have our trust, but they aren’t even given the opportunity to earn it. How’s that for engendering self-confidence and personal responsibility in the precise agegroup that needs it the most? Not to mention that this does nothing to alleviate the addiction, rather, it fuels it by further fetishizing the devices. Demerits, detention, loss of privileges, parental involvement are tools used for every other form of misbehavior in school, which teach consequences without infantilizing students, some of whom are age 18. Beyond the pedagogic, enacting a system-wide ban on cell phones in NYC schools is costly and impractical, at a time when our schools can’t afford either. The cost of the hardware (typically Yondr pouches) that will imprison the phones for a school of 1,000 students is approximately $30,000. This does not include the additional hourly cost for staff to open and close the pouches. School budgets are stretched thin as it is, and equity implications once again abound: money that comes out of a school’s allotment for things like enrichment programs or field trips can be supplemented with PTA funds from schools that can raise large amounts. Schools that can’t will simply lose out. The school day will certainly not be lengthened to accommodate the twice daily pouching and unpouching; time spent at the expense of student learning (and student sleep). Large schools already have long lines to enter in the morning to simply swipe ID cards. Adding this time-consuming ritual means longer commutes and less sleep. Imagine how long it would take the 6,000-plus students of Brooklyn Tech to go through this every day. I’m not suggesting that we throw our hands up and give kids unfettered access to their phones and the internet. Parental controls, dinner table rules, and screen time limits are all tools at our disposal. As are demerits, detentions, loss of privileges, and any other consequence facing a student who breaks the rules. The lessons learned from screwing up and facing consequences are invaluable. Metal detectors in schools are disfavored in part because they signal to students that they are bad actors before they walk through the door. Locking up phones may not be as overtly offensive, but it sends the same message: you can’t be trusted. Given that this proposal isn’t net neutral, Gov. Hochul and city Schools Chancellor David Banks should consider the trade-offs and not throw the baby out with the smartphone.

BRAMHALL’S WORLD N ew York City desperately needs relief from congestion, but the current “congestion pricing” plan was never intended to do that. It was a thinly veiled tax on low-income workers who must still show up in person to raise funds for a mass transit system crumbling under the weight of its own corruption and bureaucracy. Now is the time for a better plan that will actually reduce congestion. The proposal that Gov. Hochul wisely pulled was far too greedy, extorting $15 a day from low-wage workers living in transit deserts who must still commute into the city. The plan was nonsensical tolling people for traveling less than 100 feet on a street in Manhattan. It also failed to address congestion outside Manhattan below 60th St. Too many details were left for a dysfunctional MTA, which put out a plan that even the most progressive of politicians had to hold their nose and support as better than nothing. In 2019 I advocated in the Daily News for a bigger, better, bolder plan that would actually address congestion throughout our city. Five years later, some of the proposals have already been implemented such as “high-speed automated tolling,” and updated for the times might be worth considering. lToll all entry points to New York City for all vehicles. Instead of putting exorbitant tolls on 700,000 vehicles entering the central business district, put more modest tolls on all 4.4 million drivers entering the city each day, to relieve congestion in all five boroughs, neighboring Nassau and Westchester counties, and New Jersey. lExpand public infrastructure today with toll increases tied to milestones. The biggest problem with the current plan is that many commuters were faced with the choice of losing $3,600 a year or doubling their commutes from 40-minutes each way, to an hour and a half. That’s more than 3 hours a day waiting for and sitting stuck on public transit. Taking 15 hours a week from low-wage workers is a lot. Just the income taxes lost are far more than would be collected in tolls. Instead, congestion pricing must be implemented modestly at first, with funds used to expand and improve service for NJTransit, Long Island Rail Road, and Metro-North. We could even invest in high-speed rail that could expand economic opportunity for upstate New York by reducing travel time from Poughkeepsie from 90 minutes to less than 30 minutes. As new infrastructure comes online and public transit commuting times get faster, tolls could increase to encourage ridership and fund new improvements in a virtuous cycle. lDynamic pricing tied to time and vehicle registrations. The plan failed to use dynamic pricing in a way that could actually reduce congestion during peak times. Anyone coming into the city between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. should not pay peak rates, they aren’t contributing to congestion. Charging a peak rate from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. would only devastate nightlife in our city, which is still in recovery. We also now have the power to use tolls like a scalpel, with the ability to toll people within a certain distance of the border or coming from transit deserts less while tolling those coming from transit rich areas more. If this or any plan were actually about the environment, there is no reason to wait on adopting London’s ultra-low emissions toll which charges more for vehicles that pollute. lReduce out-of-control spending at the MTA with lock-box protections from politicians. Lost in the pleas to fund the MTA are the billions in waste from corruption and bureaucracy that makes it 10 times more expensive to build transit infrastructure here than anywhere else in the world. We cannot continue to pay $4.6 billion per mile of subway in New York City while Paris pays $250 million. Fixing runaway costs should be priorities 1, 2, and 3, even if it means dissolving the MTA and starting over. With the history of bait and switch from politicians who are tempted to steal money in each budget cycle, we must create a lock box by securing capital to fund new infrastructure projects against this new revenue source, as originally proposed by former Lt. Gov. Dick Ravitch. Rather than continue to fight over a deeply flawed plan, let’s bring New Jersey, Long Island and points north of the city to the table. We can start from these proposals and work together on real improvements that will make public transit faster than taking the car, expand economic opportunity, reduce vehicles on the road, and save our planet.

F orest Hills: I woke up on Monday morning, brushed and showered, had breakfast and went out for my daily walk. Something very strange happened. As I passed strangers, each one said, “Good morning” or “How you doing?” to me. When I crossed against the light, cars slowed down and let me proceed. I noticed an elderly woman with a vision cane waiting to cross the street when a young man went over and offered to assist her. A few blocks further, I saw an older man trip and fall and before I could reach him, a group of strangers were helping him up and making sure he was fine. I thought, “This can’t be happening, I must be dreaming.” Lo and behold, I awoke from this dream, feeling somewhat disappointed and sad. I took a few minutes to think about it. I realized each one of us is part of a family that loves and takes care of each other. Then I thought that all of us are human beings inhabiting this planet. So, in a way, we are all part of an extended family on planet Earth. It made me think of an old doo-wop song from 1955 by Willie Winfield and the Harptones, “Life Is but a Dream.” Wouldn’t it be wonderful if my dream could come true!? Too much to ask? Mel Moskowitz Dreaming of a world where kindness is the norm Gun-guy silence Manhattan: Based on the Hunter Biden case, I can see a new form of gun control developing. Let’s say a person wants to buy a gun but also smokes marijuana. Since possessing weed is a federal crime, checking off the box in a gun shop that he/she does not use drugs will send them into federal court if they are, in fact, a user. This might discourage many gun purchases. I wonder what the NRA has to say about this? Leonard Smoke Snubbed star Tarrytown, N.Y.: The women’s Olympic team committee has made the utmost misjudgment by snubbing Caitlin Clark. I’m really not sure who on this board makes these decisions. As a rookie, Clark is averaging better than any rookie has ever averaged in the WNBA. She is also filling the seats, as fans are coming out just to see her on the road. Attendance has spiked every time she has played. The WNBA has struggled for years to receive a lucrative TV deal. They constantly complain about having to fly commercial and sleep in two-star hotels while men’s professional sports TV deals are now in the billions. They finally have a rising star that they can really benefit from by putting her and her talents on the world stage. I am not sure if this snub was based on jealousy, politics or just a giant miscalculation by the committee.

The facts are that Ben Affleck is an immature man who will always be jealous of Jennifer Lopez’s every success. He would rather she fall flat on her face so he could be there to pick up the pieces instead of seeing her star constantly rise. Rose S. Wilson No to Yes Bayside: To Voicer Stella Grillo: You couldn’t have stated the reality of the City of Yes any better than you did. I propose printing it on a banner and having a plane fly over the five boroughs professing the truth about it. How about changing it to the State of Yes, so the entire state takes on the burden of what the few who don’t live here want to cram down the overly saturated boroughs’ throats? Unfortunately, congestion, flooding and blackouts are already the norm here, and as it stands now, it takes me more than 20 minutes just to drive a few miles. The pols want to add to that?

Another is the inordinate amount of school buses taking kids from one block to another, stifling the traffic behind them. Joe Kowalczyk Practical morality Darien, Conn.: Re “Witness the actual abortion extremists” (Timothy Cardinal Dolan, op-ed, June 9): Mr. Archdiocese, how about a few remarks about the reasons for Roe v.

Dan Singer Nuclear potential Londonderry, N.H.: The International Atomic Energy Agency carries out routine inspections of Iran’s declared atomic facilities. It recently reported that Iran has enough uranium for several nuclear weapons, which could be produced in a matter of a few weeks. Iran purchased 300 tons of refined uranium from Niger. Iran has enriched its uranium stockpile to 60%, and it can continue the enrichment process to the weapons-grade level of 90%. The IAEA believes Iran might have secret facilities producing enriched uranium for nuclear devices at undeclared locations where uranium particles have been detected. If Iran produces nuclear weapons, Middle East countries, including Saudi Arabia and other Sunni countries, will probably rush to produce theirs. Israel, who Iran calls Little Satan (the U.S. is called Great Satan), will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons and will surely try to destroy them. A major war could be triggered by Iran producing nuclear weapons.

And after checking, I don’t find any tape where John Kelly claims Trump said those things to him directly. Comments published by The Atlantic (another lefty rag) allude to Kelly making these claims. Trump vehemently denied those accusations in an NBC tape and called them disgusting and disgraceful. Do you think anyone would actually say those things to a general or any military man’s face? Gen. Mark Milley also had his comments reported, but none of these were recorded either. They’re entitled to their opinions and feelings, but that doesn’t make them facts. You’re just another Trump-hater cult member who hears anything negative someone says about him and runs with it as fact.

BY ROCCO PARASCANDOLA NEW YORK DAILY NEWS A Wednesday car stop in Queens sparked a terror probe after cops found a gun, daggers, ammunition, a baton etched with ominous warnings and a “V for Vendetta” mask in the driver’s SUV, police sources said. “You left me no choice,” one message read, according to the sources. “I am sorry,” read another. A third message warned “You are going to learn today,” while a fourth message, in Arabic, read, “God forgive me,” sources said. Judd Sanson, 27, was pulled over in his Ford Explorer at 1:25 a.m. after officers with the NYPD’S 110th Precinct public safety team saw him driving with a covered license plate near 86th St. and Ditmars Blvd. in East Elmhurst. “You couldn’t even see the license plate, the cover was so dark,” NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said at a news conference later Wednesday. Details on the possible terror threat were scant. Asked at the press conference about that angle, Maddrey simply said the matter was still being investigated. Police say they recovered a Glock 9-mm. handgun, three knives, a dagger, eight loaded magazines and a “V for Vendetta” mask, an international staple of protests, from inside the vehicle. The mask was originally popularized by the 1980s graphic novel and later by the 2005 movie adaptation. Sources said the suspect also had in his possession body armor, handcuffs, NYPD uniform items, two axes, a stun gun and what was described as a weighted whip — as well as an expandable baton, or asp, on which the messages had been etched. Also recovered was an NYC Transit vest, which Maddrey said had “no connection” to an apparent planned attack on the city’s transit system or any other nefarious plot. The suspect never worked for the city transit system or a subcontractor for the agency, according to an MTA spokesman. “An arrest of this magnitude, the amount of ammunition, NYPD paraphernalia in the car, was significant,” he said. Sanson was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and possession of ammunition, police said. He has posted comments on social media and visited websites that suggest extremist ideology, according to police sources. Sanson gave police his home address as an apartment in Jamaica. The Explorer is registered to a 56-year-old man who appears to be a relative, sources said. NYPD car stop in Queens leads to terror probe BY TÉA KVETENADZE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS The issue of real estate broker fees came to a head at a heated City Council hearing on Wednesday, when hundreds showed up to testify both for and against a bill that would essentially shift the burden of paying the dreaded fees to landlords. The marathon meeting of the Committee on Consumer and Worker Protection centered on the Fairness in Apartment Rental Expenses (FARE) Act, legislation that could potentially transform New York’s rental system amid the historically dire housing crisis. The bill from Councilman Chi Ossé (D-Brooklyn) would require whoever hires a broker — usually the landlord — to pay their fees. Under the current system, those costs are not capped and can reach eye-watering sums that fall to renters even if they didn’t hire the agents. “I believe brokers do provide a valuable service, especially when the individual party hires that broker,” Ossé said. “I just think when the dynamic is forced upon people, it’s an unfair situation.” Supporters of the bill including advocates, labor groups and even some brokers say the current system is unfair because the upfront fees can prove prohibitive and renters often end up paying for agents they didn’t hire. The real estate industry has largely come out against the bill, arguing it would undermine brokers’ ability to make a living while passing the cost on to tenants over time in the form of higher rents. The hearing saw several tense exchanges between real estate reps and committee members. But the Adams administration also came under fire from elected officials who blasted the absence of representatives from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, which would be tasked with enforcing the bill. “This administration has wasted our time today,” Councilwoman Sandy Nurse (D-Brooklyn) told a representative from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. “You all showed up with no data, no input, nothing conclusive, no analysis to offer on this bill. It’s embarrassing.” Some 400 people signed up to speak following a pair of dueling morning rallies held outside City Hall Park. The Real Estate Board of New York, a powerful industry group, has led the lobbying efforts against the measure. “It seems fair to only pay what you’re hiring someone to do,” testified Ryan Monell, the board’s vice president of government affairs. “But the reality is, if this bill were to pass into law, the fee is still going to be passed on to the renter.” Bess Freedman, CEO of Brown Harris Stevens, took a similar view. “Housing affordability will not be solved by this misguided and hollow legislation,” she said. “Simply put, this bill will make it harder for brokers to be fairly paid, raise housing costs and limit housing access — the last thing New York City needs right now.” Ossé characterized the FARE Act as common sense. “This bill is not reinventing the wheel,” he said. “This is replicating how this is done in every other major city in America except for Boston.” Recent law school graduate Annie Abreu, 25, said she and her mother are low-income, and broker fees have kept them from relocating. “If I want to move within New York City, I can’t move freely,” she testified. Instead, “I have to keep myself in an insecure living situation, keep myself in an uncomfortable living situation, keep myself in an inadequate living situation until I have enough money to pay somebody that I did not hire to move.” The FARE Act currently has 33 Council supporters, one shy of a supermajority. But whether it will fare better than past attempts to reform broker fees will largely depend on Speaker Adrienne Adams (D-Queens), who has stayed mum on the issue. Mayor Adams hasn’t said whether he supports the legislation one way or the other, telling reporters on Tuesday he will “look at the bill and we’re going to see exactly how it impacts the industry.” With Chris Sommerfeldt GOING FOR BROKER Demonstrators push for the Fairness in Apartment Rental Expenses (FARE) Act in rally outside City Hall on Wednesday.

This includes criteria like GPA, standardized test scores or outstanding talents. Merit scholarships are designed to reward excellence, without consideration for financial need. NEED-BASED: These scholarships are determined by a student’s ability to pay for their education. Low-income students may be eligible for additional grants. MINORITY SCHOLARSHIPS: Minority scholarships support underrepresented groups in higher education. These scholarships may award money to racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ students and individuals with disabilities. SUBJECT-SPECIFIC: These scholarships are for students pursuing specific fields of study, such as STEM or the humanities. COMMUNITY SERVICE: Community service scholarships recognize a student’s commitment to community service and volunteering. ATHLETIC: Athletes who excel in sports like football and basketball may receive an athletic scholarship. Colleges and universities may offer them to recruit athletes for their teams. CREATIVE AND ARTISTIC: Students with exceptional creative talents may be eligible for these scholarships. INTERNATIONAL: If you’re moving to the United States for higher education, apply for international scholarships. They might be merit-based, need-based or otherwise specific to international students. CAREER-SPECIFIC: Some scholarships are tailored to specific careers or industries. They may require recipients to commit to working in that field after graduation. ENTREPRENEURIAL: These awards support students with innovative business ideas or entrepreneurial ambitions. FIRST-GENERATION: If you’re the first in your family to attend college, you might qualify for this type of scholarship. They’re designed to bridge financial and educational gaps for first-generation students. STUDY ABROAD: Study abroad scholarships are for students interested in studying in foreign countries for a semester or more. MILITARY: ctive Duty military personnel, Veterans and their dependents may qualify for certain scholarships through the branches of the military. HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES: Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. This helps determine your eligibility for federal financial assistance. Even if you’re not eligible for student aid, apply anyway. Many states and scholarship programs use FAFSA information to evaluate applications. Look for local opportunities. Check with your high school’s guidance counselor. Then, inquire with community organizations and local businesses. Sign up for national scholarship database websites. These websites collect information on a wide range of scholarship opportunities. Take time to create a comprehensive student profile. List your academic achievements, extracurricular activities, interests and career goals. Scholarship databases will try to match you with opportunities based on this information. Research scholarships at each university or college before you apply. Some schools will automatically consider you for certain scholarships, while others may require you to apply. Contact each school’s financial aid office to ask about opportunities. Start early. Keep track of the application deadlines, requirements and materials for each scholarship. Ask your peers, family, mentors or guidance counselors for advice. They may provide recommendations or be available to review essays.

NYSED’s new vision stems from the recommendations of the NYS Blue Ribbon Commission on Graduation Measures. This initiative aims to ensure that every student in New York State gets the educational opportunities and support they need to thrive. Whether your child is an aspiring scientist, artist, entrepreneur, or anything in between, these proposed changes are designed to offer multiple pathways to success. They want to create a “Portrait of a Graduate” that will outline the skills and knowledge every New York State high school graduate should have, including critical thinking, problem-solving, cultural competency, and effective communication. The goal is to prepare students not just to pass more tests in college but also for the complexities of modern life and careers. Your child could earn credits in various ways—through work-based learning, early college high school programs, arts, traditional courses, and more. This flexible approach would cater to the diverse strengths and abilities of all students, including those with disabilities and English language learners. It’s about demonstrating what they know and can do in a way that works best for them. One of the most significant changes is separating specific test requirements from graduation. While Regents exams would still be available as one way for students to demonstrate their proficiency, they want students to have multiple ways to demonstrate their learning, which could be tailored to their strengths and interests. Local assessments at the district and/or school level could play a greater role in evaluating individual students’ progress. Finally, NYSED proposes a single diploma for all graduates, eliminating multiple diploma options. The “advanced designation” will become an endorsement or seal, and districts can add their own seals and endorsements. This would ensure that every student who meets the state’s requirements receives the same diploma, leveling the playing field and reducing confusion. NYSED isn’t just rolling out these changes overnight. They have announced a series of “Ambassador Forums” from July to October 2024, where the public can share their thoughts and feedback on these proposed transformations. This collaborative approach ensures that the voices of students, parents, and educators are heard and considered. The implementation plan, detailing timelines, regulatory changes, and other important considerations, will be presented to the Board of Regents in November 2024. Until then, the current graduation requirements remain in effect.

Choose a cause you’re passionate about and dedicate some of your time to it. Prepare for Your Major A REVIEW YOUR MAJOR’S REQUIREMENTS Understand the course requirements for your major. Reviewing the curriculum can help you identify any prerequisite courses you might need to take or any subjects you should brush up on.

Healing is on offer if we’re willing to do the necessary work. The Sun steps into a supportive sextile with wounded Chiron, so the more we voice our concerns, the easier it should be to handle them, once and for all. The Moon also opposes Saturn, so effort is required, though thankfully, as Mercury sextiles Chiron, our ability to use our words productively is highlighted. The lunar square to Mercury calls us to speak up before it’s too late! ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19 It’s okay to be honest about your feelings. Sometimes all it takes is a single conversation or a few reassuring words from someone else to show you the path forward through a sticky situation, so be willing to speak the truth. True friends will welcome you with open arms. TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20 Something may seem to be lacking in your current life. Focus on the things that bring you comfort when emotions want to run wild. If you feel something is missing or not good enough, ask yourself why and gain perspective rather than spiraling out unnecessarily. You have control over your reactions. GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 20 People can make a big improvement in your life, just as you can make a big improvement in theirs. Building a network can bring a sense of healing and relief, like knowing there are other people in the world who think and feel like you. You’re not alone, so don’t worry that you are. CANCER JUNE 21-JULY 22 You deserve a boost up, even if you don’t quite know why. Perhaps a VIP or other supervisor will step forward to acknowledge your efforts, making hard work all worth it. A peer may instead reward you when you least expect it. Either way, you’ve earned this. LEO JULY 23-AUG. 22 Your friends can get you where you need to be. Don’t hesitate to accept assistance, since just because something appears daunting to you, doesn’t mean it will seem insurmountable to other people as well. Do your best to participate — teamwork definitely makes the dream work today. VIRGO AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Your achievements are not just for show. They are also deeply personal. Today, in particular, there is a strong connection between your emotions and your ambitions. Something may click into place at any moment — and you’ll probably be more than satisfied with the results. You deserve to find true satisfaction in life. LIBRA SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 The horizon is more inviting than ever. It might be more exciting to explore with a loved one by your side, regardless of your specific relationship. This exploration could be a wonderful bonding experience that potentially soothes any ongoing issues between you. Look at life from a fresh angle. SCORPIO OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Your work may currently require extra effort. You can accomplish a lot, but you’ll definitely need to roll up your sleeves and put in the energy. Don’t worry — the sense of satisfaction when all is said and done should be wonderful, so know that your efforts will be worth it. SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Creating something special sometimes requires more than one mindset or pair of hands. Double up with others in order to see what you can produce. The process could be immensely enjoyable, with the results potentially exceeding your expectations. You’re not the only one with interesting ideas. CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Tending to details can bring a welcome sense of relief. Specifically, tend to your most foundational and emotional matters first. Once you get any outstanding matters cleared away, you should be left with a refreshing sense of calm — one you potentially haven’t felt in some time. AQUARIUS JAN. 20-FEB. 18 Give yourself permission to play around at this time. By being open about all sides of yourself, the good and the bad, the playful and the serious, you can find a wonderful sense of catharsis that may have been lacking recently. Step up and speak from the heart. PISCES FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Sometimes a little indulgence is totally called for. So long as you understand that this isn’t meant to fill any larger voids or cover up any deeper underlying issues, go ahead and enjoy a bit of retail therapy or personal indulgence. Just make sure you don’t spend so much that you have cause for regret. Give yourself love.

IT ALL ADDS UP How awesome has Aaron Judge been since the start of May? The numbers tell the story PETER SBLENDORIO, PAGES 34-35 BY PETER SBLENDORIO NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Jerry West, the NBA great who led the Lakers to a championship as a player and served as the mastermind behind multiple dynasties as an executive, died Wednesday morning, the Los Angeles Clippers announced. He was 86. West was an All-Star in each of his 14 NBA seasons from 1960-74; earned Finals MVP in 1969 despite his Lakers losing that series to the Celtics; won his lone title as a player in 1972; and won eight championships as an executive. His impact was so consequential that the NBA used his silhouette as the inspiration for its logo. A cause of death has not been released for West, who had served as an executive board member for the Clippers since 2017. In their announcement, the Clippers described West as “the personification of basketball excellence and a friend to all who knew him.” “His wife, Karen, was by his side,” the Clippers said. Drafted second overall out of West Virginia in 1960, West spent his entire playing career with the Lakers, averaging 27.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.6 steals per game. The 6-3 guard was a 10-time selection for the All-NBA first team and a two-time choice for the All-NBA second team. He finished within the top five of NBA MVP voting eight times, including four times as the runner-up, but never won the honor. He played most of his career with fellow Hall of Famer Elgin Baylor, as well as five seasons with Wilt Chamberlain. “Jerry West was a basketball genius and a defining figure in our league for more than 60 years,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said. “He will be enshrined this October into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor, becoming the first person ever inducted as both a player and a contributor.” West was known for his big-time shot-making, earning him the nickname “Mr. Clutch.” He averaged 37.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game during the Lakers’ loss in seven games to Bill Russell-led Boston in the 1969 Finals, making him the only player in NBA history to win Finals MVP on the losing team. West’s game-tying 60-foot heave against the Knicks in Game 3 of the 1970 Finals remains among the most miraculous shots in NBA history, though the Knicks went on to win that game and series. Those Finals included the iconic Game 7 in which Knicks center Willis Reed, nursing a torn thigh muscle, stunned the sports world by suiting up and scoring the first two baskets. The Lakers and Knicks met again in the 1972 Finals, which the Lakers won in five games. West averaged 19.8 points and 8.8 assists per game in that series, though Chamberlain won MVP. West faced the Knicks one more time in the 1973 Finals, which Reed, Walt Frazier and the Knicks won in five games. West appeared in nine NBA Finals, but lost eight of them, including six to the Celtics. He retired as a player in 1974 and remains 25th in NBA history with 25,192 points and 35th with 6,238 assists. He served as the Lakers’ coach from 1976-79, then transitioned to their front office. He began as a scout in 1979 and became their general manager before the 1982-83 season. The Lakers won five championships from 1980-1988 behind a core that featured Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and, for the final three of those titles, James Worthy. “Every time I achieved a goal or crossed a milestone, one of the first calls I received was from Jerry West,” Johnson wrote in a social-media tribute. “Beyond his basketball accolades as a basketball player and NBA executive, Jerry West was a great man, a leader of men, fiercely loved his family and friends, and despite holding jobs with other franchises, he was a Lakers fan for life.” West remained in the Lakers’ front office until 2000, helping to usher in another era of Lakers excellence with the hiring of coach Phil Jackson and the acquisitions of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. He won his first NBA Executive of the Year honor in 1995. He left the Lakers after the 1999-2000 season — the first of three consecutive championship years for Los Angeles — and became the Grizzlies’ general manager in 2002. He won NBA Executive of the Year for a second time in 2004 and remained with Memphis until 2007. West’s final two titles came in 2015 and 2017 as an executive board member with the Warriors. The Clippers were the final stop in his illustrious career. West was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a player in 1980, then again in 2010 as a member of the U.S. men’s team that won gold at the 1960 Olympics. In April, the NBA announced West’s election to the Hall as a contributor. The Lakers retired his No. 44 in 1983. “He was truly a friend and a mentor, like an older brother to me,” Michael Jordan said in a statement to Stephen A. Smith, who relayed the message on ESPN’s “First Take.” “I valued his friendship and knowledge. I always wished I could have played against him as a competitor, but the more I came to know him, I wish I had been his teammate.” FROM BACKCOURT ROM BACKCOURT TO FRONT OFFICE, FRONT OFFICE, HE WAS A STAR E WAS A STAR Jerry West 32 Thursday, June 13, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com

Jerry West passes to Wilt Chamberlain in 1970 NBA Finals game against Knicks. AP PHOTOS Hall of fame all of fame guard and ard and executive xecutive Jerry West erry West dies at 86 ies at 86 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS — Jayson Tatum scored 31 points, Jaylen Brown added 30 and the Celtics held off a furious Dallas rally to reach the verge of a record 18th championship with a 106-99 victory over the Mavericks on Wednesday night for a 3-0 lead in the NBA Finals. Brown finished with eight rebounds and eight assists as the Celtics extended their franchise record with a 10th consecutive playoff victory and moved to 7-0 on the road this postseason. They can win the series and break a tie with the Lakers for most NBA championships with a victory Friday in Dallas. Boston also improved to 10-1 in these playoffs without Kristaps Porzingis after the 7-foot-2 Latvian was ruled out two hours before the game because of a rare tendon injury in his lower left leg sustained in Game 2. The status of Porzingis for the rest of the series appears in doubt, but it might not matter. None of the previous 156 teams to face a 3-0 deficit has rallied to win an NBA playoff series. The Mavs almost pulled off a crazy comeback to avoid the big hole — 13 years after the only other rally to match it in the NBA Finals sparked Dallas’ run to its only title against Miami. Boston led, 91-70, at the end of a 20-5 run early in the fourth quarter before Dallas answered with a 22-2 spurt to get within a point with 3 ½ minutes remaining. Problem was, Luka Doncic picked up his sixth foul with 4:12 remaining when a challenge was unsuccessful before Kyrie Irving, who scored 35 points, hit a jumper to get Dallas within one. Tatum and Brown saved the Celtics from there, with some help from Derrick White, who scored 16. Those three combined for the remaining 13 Boston points. A pair of big runs — 23-8 in the first half, 20-5 in the second half — represented what became the knockout blows in this game, and maybe this series. Boston frittered away almost all of what was a 21-point lead before winning. The big punch — sometimes early, sometimes not — has been a theme for Boston throughout this series. Control of Game 1 was seized early with a 23-5 run by the Celtics. In Game 2, a 15-4 run in the second half proved to basically be the difference. There’s no championship belt, like the ones fighters get, coming when this series is over. But the trophy is within sight now.

BY PETER SBLENDORIO NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Aaron Judge’s numbers continue to rise. With another home run and three more RBI in Tuesday’s 10-1 win in Kansas City, the Yankee slugger again bolstered his remarkable hot streak. Tuesday’s 436-foot blast marked Judge’s MLB-leading 25th home run through 69 team games, inviting early comparisons to the 2022 campaign in which Judge set an American League single-season record with 62 homers and won AL MVP. “I’m trying not to take that for granted,” Aaron Boone said Tuesday of Judge’s surge. “It’s a lot of fun to witness and to watch what he’s doing on a nightly basis. It’s pretty special.” Judge’s performance over the 41 games between April 27 and Tuesday have made his slow start to 2024 a very, very distant memory. Here’s a deeper dive into Judge’s stats. l 21: That’s how many home runs Judge hit during that 41- game stretch. The 21 homers are seven more than anyone else’s in that time, with Houston’s Kyle Tucker ranking second with 14. l 49: Judge’s RBI total between April 27 and Tuesday also led all MLB hitters. Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez ranked second with 39. Entering Wednesday, Judge and Ramirez were tied for the MLB lead with 62 RBI this season. l .965: Judge’s sky-high slugging percentage in those 41 games appears to be straight out of a video game, but it is indeed real. It’s more than .300 points higher than the runner-up Tucker’s .652 mark over that stretch. l .520: Same goes for Judge’s .520 on-base percentage, which was more than .100 points higher than anyone else’s in baseball other than San Diego’s Jurickson Profar. Profar’s .439 OBP was still a distant second to Judge’s. l .401: That’s Judge’s batting average in that time frame, which also leads the majors. Next up is the Padres’ Luis Arraez — he of back-to-back batting titles — who hit .351. l .197: That was Judge’s 2024 batting average as of May 2, making his current numbers all the more impressive. He finished Tuesday with a season-best .309 average for the year. l 1.149: That’s Judge’s onbase plus slugging percentage this season through Tuesday. If he finished with that number, it would be the highest since Juan Soto, then of the Nationals, recorded an OPS of 1.185 during the COVID-shortened 2020 season. It would be the highest over a full season since Barry Bonds’ 1.421 OPS in 2004. l 58.7: Judge is on pace for just under 59 home runs this season, 34 Thursday, June 13, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com

Aaron Judge hits two-run home run against Royals during seventh inning Tuesday in K.C. AP Judge-ing dge-ing by the numbers putting his AL record within striking distance. l 27: Judge hit 27 home runs through 69 team games in 2022, meaning he’s just behind his record-setting pace this year. l 31-11: The Yankees’ record since April 27, entering Wednesday. Judge played in all but one of those games. l 901: That’s how many games it took Judge to reach 280 career home runs, giving him the most homers for a player in his first 1,000 games, according to MLB stat maven Sarah Langs. Judge needed nearly 100 fewer games to get there than the previous record-holder, Ryan Howard, who hit 279 home runs through 1,000 games. Judge achieved the feat during a two-homer outing on Saturday. l 1: In addition to leading the world in home runs and OPS, Judge ranked first among MLB hitters this season with a .437 onbase percentage, a .712 slugging percentage and 55 walks. His 21 doubles led the AL and ranked second in the majors. For reference, Judge posted a .425 OBP, a .686 slugging percentage and a 1.111 OPS in 2022. Aaron’s really on a roll aron’s really on a roll BY JAMES O’CONNELL NEW YORK DAILY NEWS The Yankees jumped out of the gates red-hot and never looked back. The Bombers were out in full display in Wednesday’s 11-5 victory over the Royals in Kansas City. With the bases loaded in the top of the first inning, Alex Verdugo grounded a two-RBI single to right field. Anthony Rizzo drove in the third run of the opening frame with a sac fly before Jose Trevino delivered the big blow in the form of a threerun homer. For Trevino, it was his sixth homer of the year. T h e Ya n k s d i d n ’ t stop after their first-inn i n g out - burst. Giancarlo Stanton smashed a 449-foot two-run homer to center field in the top of the fifth inning for his 17th of the season. Stanton, Juan Soto and Aaron Judge have combined for 59 total homers on the season which is more than six MLB teams as a whole — the White Sox, Nationals, Rays, Marlins, Blue Jays and Rockies. Gleyber Torres joined in on the fun in the top of the seventh as the second baseman launched his sixth homer of the season totaling the Yanks’ third of the night. Torres is beginning to bounce back at the plate after his brutal start to the season. Entering Wednesday, the 27-year-old owns a .739 OPS in his last 23 games. Cody Poteet answered the call again as Clarke Schmidt’s replacement in the rotation. The righthander tossed 5.1 innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits while striking out two. Poteet’s ERA sits at 2.14 and he has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his four starts this season. The Yankees turned to Ian Hamilton to relieve Poteet, who was charged with three earned runs in his 1.1 innings of work. Tommy Kahnle and Luke Weaver got the final seven outs. The Bombers will turn to Nestor Cortes this afternoon as they will go for a four-game sweep of the upstart Royals. Alex Marsh will take the ball for Kansas City. STAYIN’ IN SCRANTON Jasson Domínguez is staying at Triple-A. That’s not a surprise, but it is official after the Yankees returned their top prospect from his rehab assignment on Wednesday. In doing so, the team reinstated Domínguez from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre. Jon Berti (calf strain) was transferred to the 60-day IL to make space for Domínguez on the 40- man roster. These were largely procedural moves, as Domínguez, returning from UCL surgery, was expected to remain in the minors once his rehab assignment ended. While the 21-year-old has been sensational since getting back into games, the Yankees want him to play every day and have a set starting outfield with Soto, Judge and Verdugo. “When it’s his time, we’ll be excited for that because we know what kind of impact he can have,” Aaron Boone recently said of Domínguez. “But we’re not going to rush that, either. It will be when it’s right.” Dominguez hit .368/.415/.658 with six home runs and 13 RBI over his first 20 games in the minors this season. That included a .440/.440/.800 slash line and two home runs over his first six games with the Triple-A RailRiders. The outfielder added a single in Wednesday’s win over the Rochester Red Wings. COLE’S NEXT START Boone said Gerrit Cole will meet Domínguez in Rochester on Friday, per NJ.com’s Max Goodman. Cole (elbow inflammation) is having his own rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A after two starts with Double-A Somerset. Cole allowed one earned run, walked none and struck out nine over eight innings in those two starts. He totaled 57 pitches in his most recent outing on Sunday. Asked if this Friday’s start would be the last one of Cole’s rehab assignment, Boone said, “We’ll see.” SCHEDULING CHANGE The Yankees and Red Sox will start their first series of the season a bit sooner than expected, as their Friday opener at Fenway Park has been moved from 7:10 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. In announcing the switch, the Red Sox said they wanted to give Bostonians a chance to watch the Celtics play the Mavericks in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. That game is scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. in Dallas. WITH GARY PHILLIPS ROYALS CROWNED Yanks ride 6-run first to rout in K.C.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Harrison Bader hit an early two-run homer, Starling Marte and Francisco Lindor also went deep, and the Mets took advantage of shoddy defense by the last-place Marlins in a 10-4 victory Wednesday night. Tyrone Taylor went 4 for 5 for his second career four-hit game and Francisco Alvarez knocked in two in his second game back from the injured list as the Mets (29-37) won for the seventh time in 11 games following a 4-15 skid. Marte and Bader both knocked in two runs and scored twice. Alvarez and J.D. Martinez each delivered an RBI single as the Mets took a 5-2 lead in a three-run second inning aided by two errors on the infield and a wild pitch from Braxton Garrett (2-2). Dedniel Núñez retired all seven batters he faced in relief of starter David Peterson (2-0), striking out a career-high five. Núñez, perhaps the Mets’ best reliever of late, threw 23 of 29 pitches for strikes but is an unfortunate candidate for a trip back to the minors today when closer Edwin Díaz comes off the injured list because he’s one of the few relievers in the bullpen with minor-league options left. The struggling Díaz (right shoulder impingement) will go right back into the closer role when he comes off the injured list. Peterson allowed four runs and eight hits over five innings in his third start this season after returning from left hip surgery. Garrett was pulled after Marte’s solo shot into the second deck in left field gave the Mets a 6-4 lead with two outs in the fifth. He gave up six runs — four earned — and seven hits. SENGA ON COURSE Kodai Senga took a step in the right direction on Wednesday. The recovering ace tossed around 30 pitches in a bullpen session as he works toward a return from a right shoulder capsule strain that has kept him from throwing a single pitch this season. “Everything is going well,” Senga saids via an interpreter on Wednesday. “Obviously, I want to get out there as soon as possible, but there’s all protocol and the rehab progression. All I can focus on is getting better and getting out there as soon as possible to throw as many innings as possible.” The ace added that he is confident he will pitch in the majors this season. Senga’s manager, Carlos Mendoza, was also pleased with what he saw from the 31-year-old on Wednesday. “He looks good, used all of his pitches,” Mendoza said. “A good sign that he was smiling after he got done throwing… we’ll continue to progress accordingly. He’s probably got two more before he starts facing hitters. So, if everything continues to progress well, I will anticipate probably another couple of bullpens before he faces hitters.” The Mets haven’t exactly thrived in the pitching department without Senga as their team’s 4.22 ERA ranks 21st in MLB. The fourth-place Mets will need the right-hander back soon if they’re looking to make any type of run this season. Senga has yet to toe the slab for an encore to his stellar rookie season. The runner-up for the 2023 NL Rookie of the Year recorded a 2.98 ERA in 29 games last season. JORGE LOPEZ FINDS A NEW HOME After an eventful conclusion with the Mets, Jorge Lopez has found a new home. The right-hander has inked a minor-league deal with the Cubs, METS TURN ON POWER Marte, Lindor, Bader homer as Amazin’s hang 10 on Fish Starling Marte clouts fifth-inning home run as Mets roll past Marlins Wednesday night at Citi Field. AP METS 10 MARLINS 4 López was ejected in the top of the eighth inning of the Mets’ 10-3 loss to the Dodgers on May 29 after arguing with third base umpire Ramon DeJesus about a check swing call. He then tossed his glove into the stands and gave an expletive-filled postgame address to the media. “No, I don’t regret it (tossing my glove),” Lopez said. “I think I’ve been looking (like) the worst teammate in the whole f—king MLB, so whatever happens, happens. Whatever they want to do. I’ll be here tomorrow if they want me, or whatever they want to do.” Lopez was indeed not there the next day as the Mets designated him for assignment leading to him signing with the Cubs. The 31-year-old owned a 3.76 ERA in 28 games with the Amazin’s this season. WITH JAMES O’CONNELL 36 Thursday, June 13, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com

BY ANTWAN STALEY NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Robert Saleh made the surprise announcement on Tuesday morning that Aaron Rodgers was an unexcused absence for mandatory minicamp. Saleh saids Rodgers had a “very important event” this week that conflicted with the Jets’ camp. On Wednesday, Jets cornerback D.J. Reed was asked about Rodgers’ absence and how it affected the locker room. “Honestly, bro, AR (Rodgers) has been here for the majority of OTAs,” Reed said. “He has been here before I was here. I think he was here the first day, Phase 1, Phase 2. He has been here for the majority of practices that weren’t mandatory. “I think I seen something that Saleh said that AR had something important he had to attend and that’s our quarterback. If it’s important to him, it’s important to us. It’s really not a big deal.” After he announced Rodgers would not be present for the mandatory minicamp, Saleh received plenty of criticism from TV pundits and fans on social media. It is unknown where Rodgers is at this time. Saleh said Rodgers informed him before OTAs that he would miss mandatory minicamp. The only other player not in attendance during the two-day session was pass rusher Haason Reddick, who many believe is holding out due to a contract dispute. Reddick, 29, is in the final year of his contract, which is scheduled to pay him $14.2 million in base salary. He has no remaining guaranteed money on his contract. On Wednesday afternoon, Reddick broke his silence on X.com, the former Twitter. “Stop believing the foolery y’all see on these social media apps and news outlets,” Reddick said. “Running crazy narratives and y’all eating it up.” Under the CBA both Rodgers and Reddick are subject to fines that could be more than $50,000. Rodgers, 40, has been working to return from a season-ending Achilles tear he suffered four plays into the season debut against the Bills last September. A day after the season ended in January, Rodgers said the Jets needed to learn how to eliminate distractions..“If you want to be a winning organization and to put yourself in position to win championships and be competitive, everything you do matters and the bulls–t that has nothing to do with winning needs to get out of the building,” Rodgers said. “That will be the focus moving forward. That’s the focus of these conversations.” Saleh downplayed Rodgers’ absence when he spoke on Wednesday. “We talked about it yesterday, but Aaron and I are on the exact same page,” Saleh said. “There is no issue between Aaron or his teammates, for that matter. “Like I said, we addressed it yesterday. It’s more of an issue for everyone outside of the building than it is inside and that’s about it.” ‘ON THE EXACT SAME PAGE’ Saleh, Jets: No aleh, Jets: No problem with roblem with Rodgers despite odgers despite QB’s absence B’s absence from minicamp rom minicamp Robert Saleh says he’s talked to Aaron Rodgers about missing minicamp and there are no issues.

W ith Rodgers out for the second consecutive day, Tyrod Taylor continued to engineer the Jets’ offense and had a much better day under center. Taylor completed 11-of-15 passes during 11-on-11 drills. He led the Jets on two long drives, one resulting in an Allen Lazard touchdown inside the red zone. It’s no secret Lazard is looking for a bounce-back 2024 campaign after arguably the worst season of his career. After signing a four-year, $44 million contract during the offseason of 2023, Lazard finished with 23 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown for the Jets. Some of his lack of production can be attributed to Rodgers missing all but four plays last season. However, Lazard’s dropped passes and missed assignments were major reasons he was a healthy scratch for two games, including the season finale victory against the Patriots. Lazard, 29, will earn a guaranteed $10 million this year, so the Jets are hoping for better production from him. “I feel like Allen has come in with a renewed mindset,” Saleh said. “It is not the first time and it won’t be the last time a free agent gets a big contract, goes to another team with expectations, new city, new players and kind of falters a little bit. “You dig yourself into a hole, and this is really hard to get out of. I think he has attacked the heck out of the offseason. He has shown up in tremendous shape. He is like a second coach in that receiver room. So grateful that he’s here and I’m looking forward to him. I think he is going to have a really nice bounce back here.” Rookie cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers, a promising talent, intercepted a pass from Andrew Peasley. Stiggers has been a standout performer during OTAs and mandatory minicamp this spring, showcasing his impressive coverage skills against Jets receivers, including Lazard. If he continues to develop in the Jets’ defensive system, he could make a significant impact on the field this upcoming season. Adding to the excitement, rookie running back Braelon Allen continues to make a strong impression. He sprinted for a long 20-plus yard gain on a handoff from Taylor. The competition for the backup running back position behind Breece Hall will be a captivating storyline to follow during training camp. Fifth-round pick from 2023 Israel Abanikanda will have to fight for his job because Allen, fellow rookie Isaiah Davis, and second-year running back Xazavian Valladay all made standout plays during the Jets’ offseason program. Tyrod turns it around in Day 2 with Aaron out BY ANTWAN STALEY Giant huddle at start of minicamp on Tuesday and wrap things up Wednesday before taking break until real thing starts. AP BY PAT LEONARD NEW YORK DAILY NEWS First-year defensive coordinator Shane Bowen became the first Giants coach to publicly acknowledge the obvious on Wednesday: The product on the field this spring wasn’t good enough, even after two forced turnovers by the backups in this final spring practice. And it won’t suffice in August or September. “Bottom line: We need guys to start separating themselves,” Bowen, 37, the former Titans coordinator, said of his defense. “As we get going those first few weeks in training camp, we’ve got to start defining roles. I want to see guys take opportunities, grab them and start to pull away.” “I’ve seen improvement,” he added. “I would say not enough … We’ve taken some big strides. (But) I told them this morning, six weeks from now we’ve got to come back ready to roll. The clock is ticking.” Just when Bowen seemed to have his finger on the pulse, though, he made a surprising comment about how the Giants’ players ultimately can make those leaps: It’s on the players themselves, not the coaches. “They’re going to earn their role. It ain’t on us,” Bowen said, referring to all of his players, when asked how rookie safety Tyler Nubin can earn first-team work. “We’re going to coach the hell out of them and give them every opportunity they can imagine. We’re going to try to get them in the best spots that fit their skill sets. When the time comes, they have to make the plays and show they deserve more.” Who is to say the Giants’ new defensive scheme is positioning those players to maximize their skill sets, though? The coaches bear responsibility, too. This defense tied for the NFL lead with 31 takeaways last year. Will it do so again this fall? Or who is to say some of those players aren’t backups being forced into starters’ roles they aren’t fully prepared to execute? The front office is a huge part of this, as well. Nubin fell on a Dante Miller fumble forced by Elijah Riley on Wednesday for one of the defense’s two takeaways, but the No. 47 overall second-round safety clearly hasn’t blown coaches away this spring. GMs are paid to pick better players that help teams win more games. Coaches are paid to optimize their players’ talents and strengths to help teams win more games. Players are paid to execute and win games. NEW GIANTS DC Says it’s time for cream of 38 Thursday, June 13, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com

I t only took one Tommy DeVito interception for corner Tre Herndon III to become a Giant. Herndon, 28, a six-year Jaguar on a tryout in this week’s minicamp, snagged a DeVito pass tipped by linebacker Darrian Beavers on Wednesday and then signed with the team. He worked out of the slot with the defensive reserves in his first two days on the field, but he has NFL experience on the outside, too. So he will compete for playing time this summer. SLAYTON A NO-GO Wide receivers Darius Slayton, Bryce Ford-Wheaton and Chase Cota, who all got hurt during Tuesday’s practice, did not practice Wednesday. Ford-Wheaton has a sprained shoulder and Cota broke his collarbone, per The Athletic. The following players also remained sidelined with some sort of injury: right tackle Evan Neal (left ankle), linebackers Micah McFadden and Isaiah Simmons, returner Gunner Olszewski (left foot), tight ends Jack Stoll and Daniel Bellinger, d e f e n s i v e tackle Timmy Horne, safety G e r v a r r i u s Owens and corners Tre Hawkins III (illness) and Stantley Thomas-Oliver III. Wideout Isaiah McKenzie did some special-teams drills and split his time on the side. PUT YOUR FEET UP A lot of the Giants’ healthy top players probably didn’t even need to shower after Wednesday’s practice. Left tackle Andrew Thomas, defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, pass rusher Brian Burns, middle linebacker Bobby Okereke and running back Devin Singletary all sat out of the 11-on-11 team drills. Pass rusher Azeez Ojulari continued to sit out team drills, as well, though it’s not clear if that’s precautionary or due to some issue. ELUEMUNOR STAYING AT GUARD The Giants did not make Neal available to the media this week despite being requested on both days. So he still has not spoken since last season. While left guard Jermaine Eluemunor acknowledged he can shift out to right tackle if needed, Eluemunor said he intends to train solely at guard this offseason because he has full trust in Neal. That means Josh Ezeudu is the Giants’ swing tackle at the moment. “Now that I’m moving to left guard, I’d rather just stay there and really hone (in) on that position and perfect that,” Eluemunor said. WEIRD SCENE Brian Daboll clarified that Bellinger does have an injury that has kept him out of team work. “Something happened a few weeks ago,” Daboll said. “He’s OK. He’s probably good to go right now, but I’m being cautious with him. He’ll be fine. He’ll be good.” Bellinger claimed Tuesday he was not injured and was “letting” teammates Theo Johnson and Lawrence Cager get more “mental growth” instead of “taking all the reps” himself. Apparently that wasn’t true. The Giants will have a team cookout today at the facility before breaking until training camp in late July. Herndon picks one off and snares a job as Giants wrap camp BY PAT LEONARD As the Giants wrapped their two-day minicamp with a glorified walk-through, however, this operation feels a long way away from consistently competitive football from the top-down. Every position room is either lacking a high-end star or meaningful depth. And many are missing both. The pass rushers are their only hope for a dominant group. First-round rookie receiver Malik Nabers looks like a possible Day 1 star. Otherwise, these practices raised more questions than answers about a pivotal 2024 season for GM Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll, including the ballooning injury group by spring’s end. What’s just as concerning, though, was the rhetoric Daboll and his coaches continued using on Wednesday. It was seemingly aimed at damage control of last season’s staff dysfunction that prompted widespread departures and turnover, pointing the finger somewhere else. Daboll called offensive coordinator Mike Kafka “a good teammate” and pointed out that Kafka — who the team blocked from leaving for a lateral move to the Seahawks — “might be the longest-tenured offensive coordinator I think at one place.” Kafka, who acknowledged he has been “just complementary” to the new play-caller Daboll this spring, claimed Daboll’s offensive operation has been “collaborative” since “Day 1.” Bowen said of his own style: “It’s not the Shane Bowen way. There (are) no egos involved here. We are going to be a very collaborative group as a coaching staff.” But relitigating and implicating the past is not going to help Daboll and the Giants win this season. Public relations games aren’t NFL games. The group of executives, coaches and players in the building now are the ones charged with turning this around. A lot of them are new, like Bowen and many of the coaches and players. Or they’re in new roles, like Daboll calling plays and Kafka being sidelined. But their opponents won’t care about that. This team has to be comfortable in its new identity by September, which is why Bowen said he doesn’t want to hear his scheme referred to as a “new defense” anymore. “We were a new defense nine weeks ago; we’re the Giants defense now, right?” Bowen said.

PGA Tournament champion Xander Schauffele practices for U.S. Open Wednesday at Pinehurst. GETTY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PINEHURST, N.C. — Xander Schauffele may exude an ultracool California chill vibe, but don’t let that easygoing demeanor fool you into believing there isn’t an intense competitive fire inside that drives him. Schauffele made that perfectly clear on Tuesday, saying he’s not content with winning just one major and that last month’s victory at the PGA Championship simply “checked one box” on his resume. He clearly wants more. The world’s No. 2 player takes aim at making it two in a row at the U.S. Open starting today at the Pinehurst Resort and Country Club — although a power-packed field stands in his way including world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who has already won five tournaments this year. “Just a lot of unchecked boxes,” the 30-year-old Schauffele said of his future. “I just checked one box, which is really cool, obviously a box very much at the top of my list. But still a lot more to do, obviously.” It took Schauffele 28 tries to win his first major despite being in contention several times and twice finishing as runner-up. With the major monkey off his back, Schauffele hopes that experience will pay dividends the next time he’s called on to make a big shot in a pressure-packed situation. He made several of them at Valhalla. “My big goal is always to be in the hunt,” Schauffele said. “If I’m in the hunt on that back nine on Sunday, I think it’s going to be really helpful knowing that I’ve done it before. ... Hopefully I can draw back from what happened at Valhalla as a positive there.” Regardless of how he plays this week, it’s unlikely anyone will see much change in demeanor from Schauffele. He’s never going to draw any on-course comparisons to Tiger Woods, who air-punched his way to global fame with a flurry of emotionally charged victories. And Schauffele is just fine with that. “Tiger was the best at it because it was so genuine, it was so raw,” Schauffele said. “I think that’s why we all felt it when he was doing it because he would use that energy, and it would just run through his entire round of golf.” Schauffele joked that if he tried to imitate Woods it would backfire on him. “If I was to do that, I would get super fired up and then airmail a wedge on one green and threeputt the next hole,” Schauffele said with a wide smile. “And I’d do all this crazy stuff that I wouldn’t normally do, because that is just not how I play golf. If you can let it ride, it’s a good thing. I think, let it ride. “But for me, I kind of know what lane I’m supposed to be in.” XANDER OUT ANDER OUT TO CHECK O CHECK ANOTHER BOX AT OPEN X AT OPEN 40 Thursday, June 13, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com

Lionel Messi says Inter Miami will be “my last club.” The 36-year-old World Cup champion isn’t thinking about joining an Argentine club to write the last chapter of his playing career. “I think Inter Miami is going to be my last club. Today I think it is going to be my last club,” the Argentina captain said in an interview with ESPN. Messi is preparing with his national team to compete in the Copa América in the United States. Argentina is the defending champion. The former Barcelona star has nothing left to prove in the game and filled the only significant unchecked box on his resume by leading Argentina to the World Cup in Qatar in 2022. He has won a record eight Ballon d’Or awards and left European football last year to join the MLS club. Messi’s contract with Inter Miami is set to expire at the end of the 2025 season. “It was a difficult step to leave Europe to come here,” he said. “Having become a world champion helped a lot, and also to see things differently. But I don’t think about it. I try to enjoy. That’s why I enjoy everything much more, because I am aware that there is less and less to go and I have a good time.” Many Argentine fans hoped Messi would close his career with Newell’s Old Boys, the club where he began his training as a child in his native city of Rosario. DODGERS LAND BIGGIO The Dodgers acquired infielder-outfielder Cavan Biggio from the Blue Jays in exchange for minor-league pitcher Braydon Fisher on Wednesday. Biggio was designated for assignment last week after batting .200 with four doubles, two home runs and nine RBI in 44 games for the Blue Jays this season. Biggio is the son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, who recorded 3,060 hits in 20 seasons with the Astros. The 29-year-old spent six seasons with Toronto, hitting .227 with 77 doubles, four triples, 48 homers and 176 RBI in 490 games. Biggio was drafted by the organization in 2016 out of Notre Dame. Fisher had a 5.86 ERA in 15 games for Double-A Tulsa this season, along with 30 strikeouts in 19 innings. VOICE OF DUKE DIES Retired Duke sports radio playby-play announcer Bob Harris died Wednesday. He was 81. Former radio analyst Wes Chesson announced Harris’ death in an update on a GoFundMe page that had been created to raise money for Harris’ care. He had been previously diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and been in hospice care, and the site had raised more than $101,000 from more than 500 donations since its launch in early 2023. Chesson posted that Harris died with his wife Phyllis “at his side, holding his hand.” Duke also released statements of condolences from retired Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski and athletics director Nina King. Harris spent 41 years as the Blue Devils’ radio voice for men’s basketball and football before retiring in 2017. That tenure included calling 1,392 men’s basketball games, 13 Final Fours and all five of the Blue Devils’ NCAA championships (1991, 1992, 2001, 2010 and 2015) under Krzyzewski. SOCCER BUMPED FOR FALL OUT BOY The NWSL’s Chicago Red Stars are looking for an alternative venue for their Sept. 21 home game against the San Diego Wave because of a just-announced music festival at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois. Organizers of Riot Fest announced Wednesday that the festival was relocating from its longtime venue in Chicago’s Douglass Park to SeatGeek Stadium — conflicting with the previously scheduled National Women’s Soccer League match. Red Stars president Karen Leetzow decried the decision on social media Wednesday. “It is unfair and unfortunate to have our club put in this situation, shining a light on the vast discrepancies in the treatment of women’s professional sports versus men’s professional sports,” Leetzow said in the statement. “We are committed to ensuring our players and fans have a first-rate experience on and off the pitch, and we are working diligently to find a solution that will ensure our September 21st game is a success.” The Red Stars drew an NWSL-record 35,038 fans to their most recent game, a special match Saturday against Bay FC at Wrigley Field. The average attendance for Red Stars home games at SeatGeek this season has been 8,317. The team has played at SeatGeek since 2016 and their contract with the stadium is up after next year. The stadium has been criticized for its distance from downtown Chicago and lack of public transportation options. Riot Fest organizers did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Beck, Fall Out Boy, Sublime and St. Vincent are among the performers scheduled.
