Mayoral hopeful Scott Stringer ap-
peared to fake a city bus ride with his
two sons for his latest ad — getting
aboard a defunct model labeled
“M14D” in Brooklyn even though that
route is miles away in Manhattan.
“I thought I could show Max and

The clip shows Stringer and sons
boarding at the B25 bus stop in Brooklyn.

“M14D” — a route that runs across 14th

Gunplay claims
New York Post, Monday, June 7, 2021
2 more victims
Two people were killed early
Sunday during yet another bloody
weekend in the Big Apple that saw
20 people shot in more than a
dozen incidents, law-enforcement
sources said.
The most recent fatal victim was
shot in the head shortly before 4:30
a.m. on Sunday in Kips Bay for ap-
parently looking at the killer the
wrong way while walking on East
26th Street, the sources said.
“What are you looking at?” the
gunman allegedly said before firing
off multiple rounds, according to
the sources.
The victim was taken to Bellevue
Hospital, where he died.
About two hours earlier, police
responding in Fordham Heights in
The Bronx found an unconscious
40-year-old man with a wound to
the torso.
He died at St. Barnabas Hospital.
That fatal Bronx shooting was
among five in the span of just one
hour of gunplay in the city early
Sunday, according to sources.

man was shot and wounded at Wal-

Ahmed Rahat, 31, of East Har-

Soyall, 38, of Jamaica, pulled

At about the same time, a 23-year-
old man was shot in the back during
a dispute in Jamaica, sources said.
His attacker and another man
fled in a white sedan but were
stopped by cops and taken into
custody shortly after the shooting
— with one found to have a hand-
gun in his waistband, the sources
said. Police have not identified the
pair.
Then, at around 3 a.m., another
man was shot at 133rd Street and
Lenox Avenue in Harlem, accord-

The incidents came after a Satur-

six shootings, including one that

girl.

A feud between neighbors
over a shared driveway led to
the fatal shooting of a 10-year-
old boy in Queens over the
weekend, his heartbroken fa-
ther told The Post on Sunday —
as he recalled cradling his dying
son in his arms.
Albert Wallace, 57, said his
son, Justin, was enjoying some
time with his cousins at the fa-
ther’s sister’s home in Far Rock-
away Saturday evening when
the family visit turned tragic.
The dad said he was inside
the Beach 45th Street home
when he heard gunfire outside
at around 9:30 p.m. and ran to
the door, where he saw Justin
and asked, “Why is my son lay-
ing right here?”
“I go to my son, and when I
turned him over, I see this pile
of blood,” Wallace recalled.
“And when I saw the pile of
blood, I said, ‘Justin, Justin, are
you OK, son? You’re not re-
sponding.’ ”
Wallace — his shirt still
stained with his sixth-grader’s
blood — said he believed the
shooting stemmed from a year-
slong dispute between his sis-
ter’s family and their neighbors
over a shared driveway.
Law-enforcement sources
confirmed the suspected mo-
tive to The Post.
Wallace explained that his 29-
year-old nephew had his car
parked in the driveway and was

unloading it when a male
neighbor, whose vehicle
was on the street, wanted him
to move it as soon as possible.
“What happened was my
nephew didn’t move the car. He
was unloading it and upset the
[man],’’ Wallace said.
“My nephew was opening the
door. My son was inside the
door, and he got shot.”
The nephew was struck in the
shoulder by a bullet and was ex-
pected to survive, according to
Wallace and police sources.
Eight 9mm bullet casings
were recovered from the scene,
police sources said.
Surveillance video shows the
gunman wearing dark pants, a
multicolored sweatshirt with
the hood up and a face mask as
he runs up to the home, reaches
his arm through the iron railing
outside and fires.
Eight bright bursts are seen
flashing, one for each bullet.
The dead boy’s father said he
was still stunned that a family
visit could go so horribly awry.
“He killed my son over the
driveway?!” said Wallace —
whose boy would have cele-
brated his 11th birthday on
Tuesday.
Wallace said he lifted up his
son’s shirt to discover that the
boy had been struck by a bullet
in the abdomen.
“I felt it and felt the hardness
when I scream out and say, ‘Call
911! Please let them come,’ be-
cause they are one minute away
from my sister’s house,” he said.
The dad said emergency re-
sponders soon arrived.
“Once they put him into the
ambulance, they started to
pump his chest, so I knew
something wasn’t right,’’ Wal-

Cuo nominates Columbus defender for CUNY

Gov. Cuomo has nominated
one of New York City’s
staunchest defenders of Chris-
topher Columbus to serve as a
trustee on CUNY’s governing
board — and a battle is already
brewing over the move.
Cuomo’s pick — Angelo Vi-
volo, a retired restaurateur and
prominent local Italian-Ameri-
can leader — will be inter-
viewed during scheduled board
confirmation hearings Monday,
and sources say his advocacy
for Columbus will come up.
The Democratic-run state
Senate must ratify Vivolo’s
nomination to serve on
CUNY’s board, and there are
some lawmakers who oppose
the public celebrations that
Vivolo has fervently backed
for Columbus, who enslaved
native peoples during his ex-
plorations in the 1400s.
“I told [Vivolo] there are
people who are going to have
questions. We’ll ask what
makes him qualified to be a
CUNY trustee,” said Toby
Stavisky (D-Queens), who
chairs the Senate Higher Edu-
cation Committee.
Vivolo, 74, has served as the
longtime chair of the Colum-
bus Citizens Foundation, which
runs the city’s annual Colum-
bus Day Parade, and heads the
Columbus Heritage Coalition.
He recently slammed
Mayor de Blasio and the city
Education Department for
striking the Christopher Co-
lumbus holiday from the pub-

Dr. Anthony Fauci and First

COVID-19 vaccination site in
Harlem on Sunday, thanking New
Yorkers of all ages for doing their
part to help bring the pandemic
to an end amid swirling questions
about the virus’ origins.
Fauci, the nation’s leading ex-

rived with Biden at around
4:20 p.m. at the historic Abyssin-
ian Baptist Church, one of several
city houses of worship doubling
recently as inoculation sites.
About 15 people were vacci-

40-minute visit.
“Thank you for setting an ex-

stamp
New York Post, Monday, June 7, 2021
may
fetch
$15M
By jane ridley
That’s a lot of postage.
The world’s most expensive
stamp is expected to fetch up to $15
million at auction tomorrow. So-
theby’s New York will host the sale
of the coveted British Guiana One-
Cent Magenta, known as “the Mona
Lisa of Philately,” owned by foot-
wear tycoon Stuart Weitzman.
The shoe designer is set to do-
nate the proceeds to charity, open-
ing up a new chapter in the history
of the scrap of paper that is 165
years old.
“We expect a substantial amount
of funds from the sale,” Weitzman
exclusively told The Post, explain-
ing that he is “an avid collector of
rare stamps.”
In 2014, he successfully bid on the
One-Cent Magenta for a record
$9.48 million. In keeping with many
of its earlier buyers, he added a sig-
nature mark to the back.
“I drew a stiletto to memorialize
my years of ownership,” he said.
The stamp also bears Weitzman’s
initials.
The outline of a single high heel
appears next to a mark by ec-
centric millionaire John
du Pont. The chemical
heir, portrayed in the
2014 movie “Fox-
catcher,” bought the
stamp in 1980 for
$935,000, some 30
years before his death
during a jail sentence
for the murder of Olym-
pic wrestler Dave
Schultz. Nobody knows
whether du Pont anticipated
what turned out to be an eye-
popping investment. Its appeal
rocketed among salivating phi-
latelists. Their dreams of pos-
sessing the stamp resulted in its
value increasing exponentially over
the next decade and a half.
The succession of owners is in-
deed fascinating, but Sotheby’s
special consultant Robert Scott,
an expert in philately (the study of
stamps), said the origins of the

A North Carolina high-school grad-

violation of his school’s dress code.
Ever Lopez, who is Mexican Amer-

gown at the Asheboro HS graduation
ceremony in May, prompting the
principal to ask him to take the flag
off, video of the ceremony shows.
Lopez tried to comply but was una-

denied his diploma after the ceremo-
nial walk down the stage, according to
ABC News.
“When I got up there I went for the
handshake and I wasn’t thinking
nothing of it and I heard her say, ‘You
can’t wear that,’ ” Lopez said.
“And I was in shock and confused. I
was like, ‘What?’ She was like, ‘The
flag. You can’t wear that.’ ”
Lopez, who has not yet received his
diploma, said the school — which had
OK’d flag decorations on the gradu-
ates’ mortar boards — has asked him
to apologize in order to receive it.
“I don’t know why I should apolo-

antifa Roundup
New York Post, Monday, June 7, 2021

Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office

By ANdy Ngo
Some 24 suspected Antifa rioters
have been charged in Portland in
the past two weeks, signaling an
escalation by both local and fed-
eral prosecutors following a full
year of riots in the besieged Ore-
gon city.
On Thursday, the Multnomah
County District Attorney’s Office
announced charges against 10 sus-
pects following several grand jury
indictments.
Maximilian Ryan Jennings, 23,
James Walker Prettyman, 25, and
Thomas Moll-Rocek, 34, are
charged with one count each of fel-
ony riot, felony first-degree crimi-
nal mischief and second-degree
criminal mischief.
The three were indicted over ac-
cusations they were part of a black-
clad mob that broke most of the
windows on the Multnomah
County Democrats’ headquarters
on Nov. 8, 2020. At the time, Antifa
accounts on social media pro-
moted the “direct action” to op-
pose the presidential election.
In a separate indictment, six
other suspects were charged with
felony crimes for their alleged
roles in the Antifa Inauguration
Day riot on Jan. 20. Holding a ban-
ner featuring a Kalashnikov rifle
that read, “We don’t want Biden —
We want revenge,” the group of
Antifa demonstrators marched to
the Democratic Party of Oregon
headquarters, where they started a
fire on the street and smashed the
building’s windows. Arrestees
were found carrying knives, ba-
tons and crowbars.
Nicole Aria Rose, 26, Darrell An-
thony Kimberlin, 31, Jean V. Paris,
19, and Kyle Martin Romstad, 22,
are charged with one count each of
felony riot, felony first-degree
criminal mischief and second-de-
gree criminal mischief.

count of second-degree criminal
mischief for allegedly smashing
out windows of a coffee shop at an-
other riot in November 2020.
Austin Nathaniel Nuchraska, 25,
was indicted over the most serious
charges. In addition to felony riot
and criminal mischief charges, he
is charged with four counts of un-
lawful possession of a destructive
device at the Jan. 20 riot.
The charges are a 180-degree
turn for left-wing District Attorney
Mike Schmidt, who last year
dropped some 90 percent of riot
and protest-related cases. In an in-
terview with Willamette Week
shortly before he entered office at
the height of rioting in August
2020, Schmidt said: “I think that
when you look historically at this
nation, it’s during these protests
when we’ve gotten some of the
changes that we are proudest of in
our nation’s history. And some-
times it took some property dam-
age. It took more than just peaceful
protests to get the government’s at-
tention. I’m very mindful of that.”
However, a spokesman for the
district attorney tells The Post that
Schmidt has “continuously con-
demned property damage and vio-
lence.”
In addition to the 10 charged by
the DA last week, there have been
more arrests of suspected rioters.
The hauled-in suspects include
Jarrod “Sofie” DeFerrari, 24, who
was arrested on May 29 for alleg-
edly being armed with a loaded
pistol and shotgun on a bus. She
was found allegedly carrying addi-
tional ammo, restricted knives and
brass knuckles. DeFerrari, from
Sunrise, Fla., also has pending
charges over her alleged involve-

Minn. street strife hits 3rd night Re-fund cops: Bratton

Demonstrators took to the
streets of Minneapolis for a
third straight night of unrest
late Saturday, protesting the
death of a wanted man in an
alleged gun battle with US
Marshals.
The crowd converged on
the Uptown Minneapolis
block where Winston Boo-
gie Smith, 32, was fatally
shot outside a parking ga-
rage on Thursday, chanting
and scrawling anti-police
slogans on the street and ex-
terior of a restaurant, ac-
cording to local outlets in-
cluding the Star Tribune
newspaper.
Smith, a rapper and father
of two, was wanted in neigh-
boring Ramsey County for
failing to appear for a sen-
tencing hearing last month,
at which he was set to learn
his punishment after plead-
ing guilty to felony firearms
possession.
When members of a US
Marshals task force spotted
and approached Smith
around 2 p.m. Thursday, he
allegedly pulled out a gun and
opened fire, leading the Mar-
shals to return fire and kill
Smith, authorities have said.
The deadly run-in came
just over a year after Minne-
apolis cop Derek Chauvin
fatally knelt on the neck of
George Floyd during a
botched arrest.

wave of protest, while Chau-

Former NYPD Commis-
sioner Bill Bratton on Sun-
day slammed Minneapolis
cop-turned-killer Derek
Chauvin for dealing “unri-
valed” damage to the pro-
fession through his murder
of George Floyd — as he
defended police as the “es-
sential medicine.”
“Derek Chauvin’s actions
as an individual cop . . . did
so much damage to the
American police profes-
sion,” Bratton said on “CBS
Sunday Morning.” “Unri-
valed. Damaged the pro-
fession around the world.”
Bratton, who twice led
the NYPD, warned against
defunding the police.
“You need to re-fund the
police,” he said, voicing
hope that a federal bill be-
ing debated would im-

EB. 19, 2020, was the day sci-
F ence died. At the start of a
global pandemic that would
kill millions, in the world’s
most prestigious medical
journal, 27 eminent public health
scientists signed a letter labeling as
“conspiracy theories” any sugges-
tion that the virus that caused the
COVID-19 pandemic might have
leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China.
“We stand together to strongly
condemn conspiracy theories sug-
gesting that COVID-19 does not
have a natural origin,” the experts,
from nine countries, wrote.
Scientists who have studied the
new virus “overwhelmingly con-
clude that this coronavirus origi-
nated in wildlife,” they said.
“Conspiracy theories do nothing
but create fear, rumours, and prej-
udice that jeopardise our global
collaboration in the fight against
this virus.”
Got that? It’s a naturally occur-
ring virus and don’t you dare say
otherwise, they asserted, which
was not very scientific at all.
Rigorous skepticism is a prereq-
uisite for good science, just as it is
for good journalism.
Surely these scientists knew they
were engaging in politics and not
science. Weren’t they even slightly
suspicious when the person orga-
nizing the Lancet letter was none
other than the deeply conflicted
Dr. Peter Daszak, head of green
nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance?
Daszak (pictured) had been col-
laborating for 15 years with the Wu-
han Institute of Virology, which we
know was conducting dangerous
Frankenstein research, known as
“gain of function,” on bat coronavi-
ruses, which makes them more le-
thal and more infective to humans.
He co-authored papers with Shi
Zhengli, the head of the Wuhan re-
search team, and he funneled part
of the $100 million in US govern-
ment funding he received to her lab.
Yet despite his compelling vested
interest in absolving the lab of in-
volvement in the pandemic, Das-
zak (pictured) drafted the Lancet
letter and persuaded 26 others to
sign it, e-mails released under
Freedom of Information Law re-
vealed last year.
These prominent scientists col-
laborated to issue a political state-
ment at the most important scien-
tific moment of their lifetime, and
they will forever stand con-
demned.
One of the lab-leak deniers who
signed the letter has now at least
recanted. Dr. Peter Palese, a virol-
ogist at the Icahn School of Medi-
cine at Mount Sinai, last week re-
portedly called for a “thorough in-
vestigation about the origin of the
COVID-19 virus.”
That is to his credit. But the
damage caused by the letter he
signed can’t be overestimated.
It effectively silenced scientists
who had kept an open mind. It
dismissed as kooks those virolo-
gists who took one look at the
new virus and saw telltale signs
that it may have been tinkered
with in the lab.
In fact, the lab-leak theory al-
ways was strongly backed by the
science, as any honest virologist
would tell you. One of the few
willing to speak on the public
record, professor Nikolai Petrov-
sky from Flinders University in
South Australia, did tell me just
that last August.
He was surprised, as were other
scientists, when it appeared that
the very first strains of COVID-19
isolated in December 2019
showed “the virus was already
perfectly adapted to infect and
transmit between human hosts.
How this pre-adaptation to hu-
mans came about still needs to be
satisfactorily explained.”
The virus suddenly appeared in
humans already evolved to be ex-
tremely contagious, something
scientists say has only been ob-
served in a laboratory.
That doesn’t mean the virus def-
initely leaked from the Wuhan lab.
But it remains the most plausible
theory, as it did from day one. The
fact that no intermediate animal
host has been found in the past 17
months to explain how the virus
might have leaped from bats to
humans is another strike against
the so-called “zoonotic” or natural
theory pushed by the Lancet and
America’s top infectious disease
expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Instead of telling the truth, the
world’s scientific establishment
deliberately created a false narra-
tive that was swallowed uncriti-
cally by most of the media and
presented to the public as holy
writ.
Scientists used the full weight of
their authority to tell a deliberate
lie, whether to protect the re-
search method that may have en-
gineered the virus or to contradict
a president they didn’t trust.
AP
“Virologists as a group are
afraid that public attention being
drawn to the possibility of a lab-
escape may result in a political
backlash and action to shut down
even irrelevant virus research,”
Petrovsky said.
“If COVID-19 was indeed the re-
sult of an accidental lab release
this would have enormous ramifi-
cations, not just in China, but
worldwide. The very question
that this might be a lab release
terrifies most virologists because
of the impact this could have on
their future research. Hence a col-
lective desire to shut down this
scientific debate early, before it
gets public.”
In other words, scientists
wanted to keep doing their dan-
gerous Frankenstein research
even if it caused a deadly global
pandemic, and they didn’t want
the public to have a say.
They lied to us so that we
wouldn’t scream blue murder and
make them stop playing God in
the laboratory. We will never trust
them again.

Time to win
culture war
Ron DeSantis is right:
Republicans must aggressively
fight back in the culture wars. They
didn’t start the wars, but they have
nypost.com
an obligation not to shy away from
confrontation on social issues.
“The goal is not to just lose
ground more slowly,” said the
Florida governor in an interview
with the Federalist last week.
“The goal is to regain ground in
an offensive direction . . . Some of
these battles with what the left is
doing are effectively cultural
Marxism. You can have a
successful economy, but if the
underpinnings of the culture are
being torn apart, I don’t think
that’s a society that will be very
successful.”
Among some of the non-
Floridian Republican
establishment, there is a genteel
distaste for engaging in
controversial issues such as
critical race theory or
transgender sport.
But how hard is it to say that
America is not evil, police are not
“systematically” racist, men
cannot be pregnant, boys should
not compete in girls’ sports,
children do not have to apologize
for the color of their skin, “equity”
is a Marxist concept, Antifa is a
terrorist group, Facebook doesn’t
get to tell us what to think and the
intact nuclear family is the best
way to raise a child?
That’s what most Americans
believe, no matter their race, sex
or creed. Fearless leaders are
needed to defend our culture, not
agreeable milquetoasts.
Politicians unwilling to do battle
are wasting our time.
Hizzoner needs
to cut the crap
Sorry to bring this up, but we
need to talk about the toileting
habits of the growing army of
people who live on the street.
You can’t walk down Eighth
Avenue without seeing someone
lowering his pants to pee in broad
daylight or squatting a block from
Times Square over garden beds to do
the unmentionable. It’s not sanitary
for these poor souls or for anyone
who shares this city with them.
If it is the policy of Mayor de
Blasio to encourage people to live
on the streets, at least provide
bathrooms.

Hair-raising antics
Women spend big bucks
to fight COVID locks loss
By KIRSTEN FLEMING and DOREE LEWAK
There’s a big fallout from the pandemic.
Hair loss brought on by the stress and
anxiety of the past 18 months is plaguing
women, but they’re finding help with a
range of innovative — though often costly
— treatments.
“About 30 percent of my patients were
e-mailing about hair loss,” said Michele
Green, a dermatologist at Lenox Hill. “It
was frightening. Some had sheets of hair
falling out.”
Last spring, Erica Sperling, 37, noticed
her curly locks thinning around the
crown. She was working two jobs — in
media and real estate — and tending to
her toddler after losing child care to coro-
navirus concerns.
“It was a really stressful time,” said the
Westchester resident.
She initially tried to conceal her thin-
ning mane on Zoom calls with headbands
and ponytails, but in October she sought
medical help. She turned to Bruce Katz, a
dermatologist at Juva Skin and Laser Cen-
ter in Midtown East, who’s also seen an
uptick in patients complaining about hair
loss. He recommended platelet-rich
plasma (PRP) treatments, which involve
taking blood from the patient, spinning
the blood, and then injecting it back into
the scalp at a cost of $700 to $900 per ses-
sion. After two or three monthly cycles,
Katz said hair will grow back 25 or 30 per-
cent faster than usual. It worked for Sper-
ling, who noticed a thick improvement

around my temples and forehead grew in,”
she said. “It’s one less thing to worry
about.”
For those who can’t spend a four-digit
sum on their ponytail, Green at first rec-
ommends some relatively inexpensive
remedies. Minoxidil, which is the main in-
gredient in Rogaine, can be purchased
over the counter and applied topically, so
long as you’re not pregnant or breastfeed-
ing. The 5 percent, extra-strength formu-
lations especially “can help a lot of pa-
tients grow their hair back,” she said. Oral
supplements designed for hair growth,
such as Nutrafol and Viviscal can also be
helpful.
She also advises patients not to get their
hair colored or wear it in braids — any-
thing that adds stress to tresses. And,
Green said, “I tell them not to get a haircut
because it might feel like you have less
hair.”
As for special shampoos and condition-
ers that claim to curb hair loss, Green said
she’s skeptical.
“I’m not convinced a shampoo or condi-
Tamara Beckwith
tioner can grow back hair. It’s not some-
thing you leave on your scalp long enough
to make a difference,” said Green, adding
that serums, including Pureauty Biotin
Hair Serum ($26.45), could be more effec-
tive because they’re designed to stay on
longer.
When it comes to more stubborn cases,
she suggests investing in a scalp-stimulat-
ing LaserCap, which uses Food and Drug
Administration-cleared low-level laser
therapy, starts at about $1,000 and can be
ordered through a physician.
If none of these treatments do the trick,
Green will call in blood work to rule out
hormonal changes. She’ll also ask patients
to collect strands of their hair over 24
hours, which she’ll send to a lab to test for
autoimmune diseases, such as lupus.
But, Green said, patients need to be pa-
tient. “It takes three months for a hair fol-
licle to grow back, so you won’t notice a
difference for four to five months.”
Some are looking beyond the dermatol-
ogist office for help. Sarah, a 38-year-old
mother of two living in New York City,

was losing her locks in large clumps. “My
cleaning lady even commented on all the
hair she found on the bathroom floor,” she
recalled.
Last October, she turned to Harklinik-
ken, a Scandinavian hair-health clinic with
eight locations worldwide, including a
flagship location in the Flatiron district,
that evaluates candidates with a $49 vir-
tual consultation or a $175 in-person initial
consult. She then purchased an $88, one-
month supply of a customized extract
made with burdock root, marigold, apple
and cow’s milk and meant to activate dor-
mant follicles. She’s been applying it daily
since October and is thrilled with the out-
come.
“The results are insane,” said Sarah, who
didn’t give her last name for privacy rea-
sons. “My hairline is much fuller and
there’s hair where there wasn’t before. I
couldn’t be happier — now I have the
peace of mind that I’m not going to be
bald at 50.”
Harklinikken founder and head of re-
search and development Lars Skjoth says
the company grew by 25 percent in 2020,
due, in part, to COVID-related issues.
“There’s been so much stress for so
long,” he said. “I truly believe [it] has been
exacerbating the symptoms of prolonged
excessive hair loss.”
Some women experiencing follicle fail-
ure are just heading to the salon. Aggie
Tomczyk, 50, turned to Marco Ma-
ranghello, a renowned stylist who’s styled
J.Lo’s tresses. He gave Tomczyk tape-in
hair extensions, a process that took three
hours and cost $1,500. Tomczyk, who lives
on Roosevelt Island and lost her job in
luxury retail during the pandemic, is “over
the moon” with her new look.
“The volume doubled — I now have a
full head of hair, a thick ponytail and I
don’t have to think about my scalp,” she
said. “I feel like Marilyn Monroe.”

Israeli cops Says cop died showing her to use gun
bust activist
Israeli police burst into the home
of a prominent family in the con-
tested Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood
of Jerusalem on Sunday, the family
said, arresting a 23-year-old woman
who has led protests against at-
tempts by Jewish settlers to evict
dozens of Palestinian families from
their homes in the area. The young
woman was later released, but her
twin brother turned himself in and
remained in custody.
The arrests came a day after Isra-
eli police detained a well-known Al
Jazeera reporter covering a demon-
stration in the area. Givara Budeiri
was held for four hours before she
was sent to a hospital to treat a bro-
ken hand. It was not clear how her
hand was broken, but the journalist’s
boss blamed police mistreatment.
Earlier this year, heavy-handed
police actions in Sheikh Jarrah and
other parts of East Jerusalem fueled
weeks of unrest that helped spark
an 11-day war between Israel and
Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.
Those tensions are simmering
again this week — and could flare
anew if Israeli ultranationalists follow
through on plans to march Thursday
through the Muslim Quarter of Jeru-
salem’s Old City, as Israeli police
were debating whether to allow the
demonstration to proceed. AP
Pope’s anguish
but no apology
Pope Francis on Sunday expressed
his pain over the discovery in Ca-
nada of the remains of 215 Indige-
nous students of church-run board-
ing schools and pressed authorities
to shed light on “this sad affair.” But
he didn’t offer an apology as sought
by the Canadian prime minister.
Francis, in remarks in St. Peter’s
Square, also called on the authorities
to foster healing but made no refer-
ence to Prime Minister Justin Tru-
deau’s insistence that the Vatican
apologize and take responsibility.
From the 19th century until the
1970s, more than 150,000 Indige-
nous children were forced to attend
state-funded Christian schools in
Canada, the majority of them run by
Roman Catholic missionaries. AP
Church honors slain nun
An Italian nun who was stabbed 19

ceremony in northern Italy, Pope
Francis praised Sister Maria Laura
Mainetti and described her killers
as “prisoners of evil.” AP

Socialite Jasmine Hartin has con-
fessed to authorities that she was
practicing loading a gun when it
went off and fatally shot a top cop
in Belize — calling the ordeal a “liv-
ing nightmare,” a new report said.
Hartin, whose longtime partner
is the son of British billionaire
Lord Michael Ashcroft, described
to police in an interview how the
night of drinking with San Pedro
Superintendent Henry Jemmott
on a pier led to his death on May
28, according to the Daily Mail.
“At some point, he said, ‘Let’s see
if you’ve improved your gun
skills,’ ” Hartin, 32, told police.
Jemmott was “very drunk” that
night, the Daily Mail reported,
prompting another officer to pull
him over for erratically driving a
golf cart just hours before his
body was found.
Hartin said that Jemmott, a long-
time friend, had suggested that
she purchase a gun after she at-
tended a party on May 22 in Bel-
mopan where a man suddenly be-
came aggressive toward her.
Spooked by the encounter, she
called Jemmott, who sped over to
pick her up, the outlet reported.
“We started talking about guns,”
Hartin told police.

When the pair met up days later
to drink on the pier, Jemmott sug-
gested she practice again, the out-
let reported.
“We’re sitting on the pier and I
start loading and unloading his
gun again,” she told police.
She told authorities that she
picked up the gun and tried to
eject the clip, but it was stuck.
“I struggled with it, trying to get
the magazine out, when the gun
suddenly went off,” she told po-
lice. “I had no idea it still had a
bullet in the chamber.”
Describing the situation as a
“living nightmare,” Hartin said
that Jemmott’s body then fell back
on top of her.
“I was pinned down and he was
bleeding all over me,” she said. “As
I was wriggling to get out from un-
der him, to get free so I could
check to see if he was OK, he
slipped into the water.”
Hartin was initially detained for
questioning before she was
charged with manslaughter by
negligence in the officer’s death.
She has retained attorney God-
frey Smith, who didn’t respond to
a request for comment.

Interracial anger
By DaviD Meyer
An interracial couple from
Chicago has condemned the
controversial critical race
theory movement — argu-
ing that it “hurts” the black
community by victimizing
people of color.
“When I hear the ideas of
critical race theory, they
don’t remind me of my ex-
perience here in Chicago at
all,” Takyrica Kokoszka, a
black woman and Chicago
public school teacher, told
Fox News.
Kokoszka and her white
husband, Martin, live in the
toney, liberal Illinois suburb
of Oak Park, with their bira-
cial children.
The couple spoke to the
outlet about their experi-
ence living in the long-inte-
grated neighborhood,
where they say the local
school administration tells
teachers that “all schools
are rooted in white suprem-
acy” and that “racism . . . is
truly all around us.”
Oak Park actively inte-
grated in the 1960s and
1970s, thanks to years of lo-
cal activism. Now, the cou-
ple believes critical race the-
ory is harming that progress
and “dumbing down” issues
around race and equality.

Tech scare for Kam’s plane
Vice President Kamala Harris’ airplane was forced to turn

Sunday because of a “technical issue.”
“I’m good, I’m good,” Harris said after getting off the plane,
which landed safely 30 minutes after taking flight.
She had been on her way to Guatemala City in her first inter-
national trip as vice president.
Harris boarded a second plane about an hour and a half later.
go to, there’s a lot of ques-
tions coming from the com-
munity about why not more
black students are on grade
level,” Takyrica said.
“We are looking to ex-
plain it away using critical
race theory. Instead of us
actually digging deep and
looking into all the nuances
that are involved with
school achievement, we’ve
watered it down. We’ve
dumbed down the reason
now to, ‘It’s because the sys-
tem is racist.’ ”
The couple believes the
critical race theory move-
ment underestimates and
oppresses people of color.
“We believe that it hurts
our black and brown com-
munity that the message is:
‘You’re a victim. You can
never make it until we tear
down all these systems and
structures,’ ” Martin
said.“Black people over-
came slavery, Reconstruc-
tion and Jim Crow . . . and
all of a sudden black people
cannot succeed?”
The controversial ideol-
ogy is also harmful and con-
fusing to interracial chil-
dren, they say.
“Our kids, are they half-
oppressor, half-victim? How
does that work?” Martin
asked.

an exciting array of screenings and events
that will surely liven up our entertain-
ment-starved city. Here are some of our
top picks. Tickets and passes are available
at TribecaFilm.com.

“Italian Studies”
After wowing audiences — and scoring an
Oscar nod — with last year’s “Pieces of a
Woman” — Vanessa Kirby again show-
cases her phenomenal talent. This drama
finds the British actress playing a writer
who loses her memory in New York City.

“The Lost Leonardo”

In 2017, the painting “Salvator Mundi” sold
at auction in New York for $450 million to
Prince Bader bin Abdullah. The find was
believed to be a forgotten work by Leon-
ardo da Vinci, which, like a college frat
bro, wound its way to New Orleans. This
documentary asks the question: Is this
piece of art really what experts claim it to
be?

day, June 14
“Werewolves Within”
An adaptation of a video game of the same
name, this good-time horror-comedy is in
the vein of “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot
Fuzz.” Just as a new ranger (Sam Richard-
son) arrives in the snowy town of Beaver-
field, furry monsters start attacking its
quirky citizens.
In-person Wednesday, June 16; streaming
Thursday, June 17
“No Man of God”
Our obsession with serial killers contin-
ues apace. Like 2019’s “Extremely Wicked,
Shockingly Evil and Vile,” which stars Zac
Efron, the focus here is Ted Bundy. This
time, Luke Kirby plays the notorious rap-
ist and murderer. Elijah Wood, whose tal-
ent is too often overshadowed by that time
he played a hobbit, takes on the role of an
FBI investigator.

Storytellers — Amy Schumer and
Emily Ratajkowski
Tribeca is a tad light on events this year.
Usually the festival features delightful cast
reunions (the “Spinal Tap” guys were a re-
cent favorite), but there still are a few no-
table talks with celebs such as Tina Fey
and director M. Night Shyamalan. One
that’s sure to be a riot is comedian Amy
Schumer and model Emily Ratajkowski
chatting about their lives, careers and
friendship.
In-person Saturday, June 12
“Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony
Bourdain”
This documentary promises to be a tear-
jerker. It’s about the famed New York chef,
author and TV personality who commit-
ted suicide in 2018. But, from the looks of
the movie trailer, the film is aiming to cel-
ebrate Bourdain’s life rather than focus on
his pain.
In-person Friday, June 11; streaming Satur-
day, June 12
“No Sudden Move”
Will director Steven Soderbergh redeem
himself after his Oscars debacle? I think
so. Here, he goes back to one of his most
successful genres: heist, though there’s
less glamour than “Ocean’s Eleven.” A
group of Detroit criminals are hired to
steal a document, but then learn that
something more sinister is afoot. It has a
tremendous cast, including Don Cheadle,
Benicio del Toro, Jon Hamm, Ray Liotta,
Brendan Fraser, Kieran Culkin and the tal-
ented “A Quiet Place” youngster, Noah
Jupe.

“False Positive”
In what some are calling a modern spin on

“experts” became tantamount to questioning science itself.

for infected people, and that “the
typical mask you buy in a drug store
is not really effective in keeping out
the virus, which is small enough to
pass through the material.”
Fauci now claims that new infor-
mation emerged in the time since
that e-mail proving the efficacy of
masks. But did it? What was that
new information?
Did the virus magically grow in
size, so that the masks could con-
tain it? When he referred to masks
in the drug store at that point, he
meant medical masks. But most
Americans spent more than a year
wearing cloth masks. If medical
masks couldn’t contain the tiny
virus, how could the cloth ones?
Can Fauci point to any studies
showing that masks made a signif-
icant difference in containing the
coronavirus?
These are questions that should
be asked of Fauci today. Instead,
we have an adoring press that
refuses to do its job.
Scoring the first interview with
Fauci after the e-mail release,
MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace made
sure to compliment the discred-
on, for good and ill. And it’s under-
standable not to want to look back
at the difficult days we went
through to figure out what we did
wrong. What difference, at this

point, does it make, right? But be-
fore we bury the fact that we may
have needlessly worn face cover-
ings for more than a year, we need
to get some answers. It matters.
For one thing, look around, some
Americans are still diligently
wearing masks. They’re wearing
them alone, outside, even post-vac-
cination. If Fauci terrified these
people to the point where they feel
safer wearing a mask, despite
never having needed one in the
first place, we have a duty to help
them leave irrationality behind by
exposing the truth.
There also were people who
were ticketed and publicly humili-
ated for not wearing a mask; busi-
director of the US Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention,
informing her that the Empire State
was going to allow school districts
to make masking optional. Yet the
New York City Department of Edu-
cation almost immediately rejected
the idea that Gotham school kids
could unmask.
So yes, the growing possibility
of a grand Faucian error continues
to matter. It matters to a 5-year-
old forced to mask on a New York
pavement in 90-degree heat dur-
ing recess.
You don’t have to think Fauci is
evil to believe that he made some
glaring errors that now need to be
corrected. He was constantly on
TV, frequently contradicting him-
self and often causing confusion. It
isn’t some conspiracy theory to
say so. This is what happened: He
is a poor communicator and a con-
trol freak, and a fawning media
magnified his flaws.
The lack of real questions was a
problem throughout the pandemic.
Now that we are almost on the
other side, it’s fair to demand real
answers. Twitter: @Karol

vent them from spreading infec-
tion to people who are not in-
fected, rather than protecting
uninfected people from acquiring
infection.” He added that the “typi-
cal mask you buy in the drug store
is not really effective in keeping
out virus, which is small enough to
pass through material.”
Yet a month after Fauci’s
unearthed mask e-mail, Americans
were required, with Fauci’s bless-
ing, to wear masks pretty much
every time they left their homes —
and mask-skeptical posts were
censored or deleted by the ruling
class’ private-sector enforcement
arm, Big Tech.
None of this is to even broach the
separate question of extensive
lockdowns, which were never justi-
fied on the scientific metrics: Not
too long into the pandemic, we saw
how ultra-restrictionist states fared
no better — indeed, they often
fared worse — than those where
leaders moved to reopen sooner in
defiance of Fauci’s urgings.
Then there is the Democratic
’
reason to dismiss the lab-leak the-
ory out of hand, and in retrospect,
it seems that those who did so
were likely motivated more by
“Orange Man Bad!”-style anti-
Trump derangement.
The Biden administration has
now called for a 90-day intelli-
gence-community review into the
origins of the pandemic. That’s wel-
come news for those of us who have
called COVID-19 a “Chinese Cher-
nobyl” demanding serious geopoli-
tical accountability since Day One
— but sad news for those who may
have assumed that our elites pos-
sess a shred of intellectual honesty.
American politics is in the throes
of a populist moment. That mo-
ment is characterized by wide-
spread distrust of elites and an ev-
er-widening chasm between the
ruling class’ prerogatives and the
wishes of the American people. As
we finally begin to emerge from
COVID-19, that chasm will only
grow wider. The ruling class has
sullied itself one time too many.

ces are a “sham.” Two weeks ago, the
app charged him $16 to go seven
blocks down Second Avenue on the
Upper East Side. He also complains
that Ubers are lately taking longer to

“I understand surge pricing, but it
seems like surge pricing is 24 hours a

Gunzelman told The Post. “Now that

earlier this year.
“From August until February, it was
atrocious. There was no money,”
Vega said. “There’s more money to
be made now because I think a lot of
drivers are still — I’m not sure if
they’re still hesitant or still collecting
unemployment.”
Hartfield declined to say what per-
centage of Uber’s surging prices are
being passed on to drivers, saying,
“It’s somewhat of a complicated algo-
rithm.”
A spokesperson for Lyft said the
company has also seen “big in-
creases” in demand but would not
provide details on pricing or driver
pay.
“If I’m making $11 more per ride, I
can only imagine how much more
the rider is paying,” Vega said.

In the meantime, driving a taxi in
the city can be surreal of late, with
queues at typically cab-mobbed air-
ports nearly empty, says Augustine
Tang, a 36-year-old cabby from
Brooklyn. He never used to get calls
asking him to come pick up passen-
gers at JFK Airport, but now fields
such requests three or four times
each week.
“There’s a shortage in the airports
and a shortage in the city,” he said.
Ford executive Sunny Madra wrote
in a recent Twitter thread that he
spent 20 minutes trying to hail a yel-
low cab at JFK before calling an Uber.

Those grueling
words don’t make
you a failure —
here’s how to
get back on track
By PERRI ORMONT BLUMBERG
G
ETTING fired ranks somewhere be-
tween shoulder surgery and living
through a pandemic. (Oh wait, we’ve
checked that one off our list now.) While
some firings are more dramatic than
others, it’s safe to say they all are pretty brutal.
But instead of letting being fired derail your
career trajectory, you can use the experience
to refuel and forge a better path forward. Here,
experts weigh in on how to rebound.
Play it cool
If you can keep your poise and emotionally
detach when you’re dealt the blow, you’re
three steps ahead of the game.
“Responding in a composed, tranquil and
calm way when you’re fired will disarm your
boss, who likely was dreading and bracing for
an emotional eruption,” said Sabrina Roma-
noff, a clinical psychologist at Lenox Hill Hos-
pital in Manhattan. “Neutralizing this interac-
tion will bring positive returns in the form of
potentially rejoining the company in the fu-
ture, negotiating severance, maintaining your
reputation and keeping the door open for re-
ferrals.”
It may take a Herculean effort, but try to ex-
press gratitude and thank your boss for the
opportunity to work and learn from the team.
Hit the reset button
Pausing can be good for the soul.
“Try to utilize this rejection as an opportu-
nity for growth by understanding why you did
not thrive in this position,” said Romanoff.
“Disappointment is a natural reaction, but use
it as a jumping-off point which will fuel your
motivation to continue to develop profession-
ally and explore the steps needed to thrive in
your next job.”
Don’t go it alone
“This may be a time to seek out support in
the form of therapy to help you process your
emotions, repair and recover,” said psycholo-
gist Jessica January Behr, founder of Behr Psy-
chology in NYC. Family and friends can also be
important pillars of support and advice.
“After being let go from a job, it can be difficult
to separate your whole-person identity from your
professional identity,” she said. “This can lead
to feelings of deep shame, regret, fear or even de-
spair. It will be important to process the experi-
ence and the feelings that result. Be very honest,
but gentle with yourself. Take some time aside
and consider the reasons for being fired. Let your
mind go off into all the areas it wants to, and then
reign it back in and take an honest accounting.”
Behr recommends carving out time for this
“people, places, things” exercise. Consider how
you felt about the people you worked with. Did
you enjoy your interactions? Could anything have
helped to improve these relationships? How did
you feel about where you worked? Check in with
yourself about your feelings. Are there any that
surprise you, or reveal an issue? How do you feel
about the various aspects of your job — the tasks,
the hours, the role, the salary? Notice if the overall
tone is positive or negative.
“This helps to process difficult emotions in a
healthy and helpful way, so that you can learn
from this experience,” said Behr.
Consider a new path
While being fired may be a horrible blow, if you
spin it positively, it’s also a great time to travel
on that other path on that fateful yellow road.
Behr suggests creating a Venn diagram. On a
piece of paper, draw two interlocked circles. The
left side represents your whole-person identity
and the right side is your professional identity.
List the qualities and attributes that you would
describe for each. In the overlapping portion,
note the qualities that are shared.
“As you examine the words on your diagram,
begin to build an understanding of your values
and consider how this may inform your career
trajectory,” she said.
For instance, you might think creativity or in-
tellectual curiosity aren’t big parts of who you
are, but your drawing may reveal these traits in
all three sections. You may be an accountant by
trade, but is your Venn diagram revealing that
you should take a graphic design class?

Ariel Helwani’s days at ESPN are

coming to an end.
Helwani announced Sunday that
his final day at ESPN will be on June
15, concluding his three-year run at
the network. The MMA reporter

nypost.com
confirmed ESPN did offer him a
new contract but decided to pursue
other opportunities.
Helwani may be headed to the Ac-
tion Network, though nothing is
signed yet, sources told The Post’s
Andrew Marchand. If he ends up
there, he will be the betting plat-
form’s MMA expert. It has already
hired ex-ESPNers Darren Rovell and
golf writer Jason Sobel. Helwani is
expected to also work for other enti-
ties, with Dan Le Batard’s Meadow-
lark being a possibility. Outkick first
reported Helwani was leaving ESPN.
“I know sometimes people leave
jobs, networks, and they leave with
sour grapes. They leave mad, they

leave wanting to torch the bridge on
the way out. I’m not gonna do that,”
Helwani said in an Instagram video
announcing his departure. “I have a
lot of respect for what ESPN stands
for and a lot of respect for the people
there and I’m truly grateful for what
they gave me and the opportunities
they gave me. I’d be lying if I said I
got there and thought that I would
leave three years later, but this is a
crazy world and a crazy business,
and once I was given the opportu-
nity to look at what else was out
there, I found a lot of things that re-
ally got me excited.”
Marchand reported in April that
Helwani and ESPN could be headed
for a breakup.

AT A LOSS: Serena Williams reacts after falling to Elena Rybakina 6-3, 7-5 in the fourth round of the French Open on Sunday. Hours before
Williams lost, Roger Federer (inset) withdrew from the tournament citing a need to allow his body to recover from a marathon match Saturday.
By Jerome Pugmire
PARIS — Serena Williams turns
40 in September. Roger Federer
hits that milestone the month be-
fore. No one knows how many
more French Open appearances
each will make, and this year’s
tournament ended for both on
Sunday.
Williams fell way behind and
could not put together a comeback
against a much younger and less-
experienced opponent in the
fourth round at Roland Garros,
losing 6-3, 7-5 to Elena Rybakina —
who wasn’t even born when the
American made her tournament
debut in 1998.
Asked whether that might have
been her last match at the clay-
court major, Williams responded:
“Yeah, I’m definitely not thinking
about it at all. I’m definitely think-
ing just about other things, but not
about that.”
Her defeat came hours after Fed-
erer withdrew, saying he needed to
let his body recover ahead of
Wimbledon after a long third-
round victory over Dominik Koep-
fer that ended at nearly 1 a.m. on
Sunday.
Wimbledon — which Federer
has won eight times and Williams
seven — begins June 28.
“I’m kind of excited to switch
surfaces,” Williams said. “Histori-
cally I have done pretty well on
grass.”
She has won 23 Grand Slam sin-
gles titles; Federer has won 20.
They are two of the sport’s great-
est and most popular players, so it
was quite a blow to the tourna-
ment, its TV partners and tennis
fans to see both gone from the
French Open field one after the
other — and a week after Naomi
Osaka pulled out, citing a need for
a mental health break.
Williams has won the French
Open three times. But the Ameri-
can hasn’t been past the fourth
round in Paris since she was the
runner-up in 2016.
Rybakina is a 21-year-old from
Kazakhstan who is ranked 22nd.
This was just the seventh Grand
Slam appearance for Rybakina —
and the first time she ever made it
so much as past the second round.
“When I was small, of course, I
was watching her matches on TV.
So many Grand Slams,” Rybakina
said.
Against Williams, whose right
thigh carried a heavy tape job, Ry-
bakina hit big, flat serves. She dealt
with, but managed to steady, her
nerves. She even produced the oc-
casional return winner off Williams’
speedy and spectacularly gifted
serve, breaking her five times, in-
cluding in the next-to-last game.
“I knew that the serve was going
to be difficult for me to return.
She’s powerful, but I was ready,”
Rybakina said. “Then, after few
points, I felt ... comfortable.”
Repeatedly one sort of mistake
or another undid Williams. She
ended up with 19 unforced errors
and only 15 winners.
Since winning the 2017 Austra-
lian Open while pregnant for her
most recent major singles title —
No. 23 set a record for the profes-
sional era — Williams has come
close to tying Margaret Court’s all-
time mark of 24. That includes
four runner-up finishes at Grand
Slam tournaments, most recently
against Bianca Andreescu at the
2019 U.S. Open.
But since then, Williams has
been beaten twice in semifinals,
and once each in the third and
fourth rounds. Last year at the
French Open, she withdrew before
the second round, citing an injured
left Achilles.
Federer, meanwhile, never had
pulled out of a Grand Slam tourna-
ment once he had started compet-
ing in it until now.
Rybakina next will meet Anasta-
sia Pavlyuchenkova with a semifi-
nal berth on the line; they’re play-
ing doubles together and are
scheduled to play a third-round
match in that event Monday. Pav-
lyuchenkova advanced with a 5-7,
6-3, 6-2 victory over two-time Aus-
EPA; Reuters
tralian Open champion Victoria
Azarenka.
The other quarterfinal on that
side of the women’s draw is going
to be Paula Badosa against Tamara

SPIN A YARN
By Dan Martin

Aaron Boone pushed back at

nypost.com

Josh Donaldson’s accusations that

Gerrit Cole was among the pitch-
ers who might be using illegal for-
eign substances to increase spin
rates — and become even more
dominant.
“I don’t make much of it,’’ Boone
New York Post, Monday, June 7, 2021

said Sunday when asked what he

made of the Twins’ veteran’s com-
ments last week, when Donaldson
noted that Cole’s spin rates had
decreased days after an AP story
reported that four minor leaguers
had been suspended this season
for using foreign substances.
“Gerrit, as well all of our staff
members, I believe are mostly
above board and will be able to
handle this situation in the right
kind of way,’’ Boone said. “And it’s
not gonna affect the kind of pitch-
ers they are.”
MLB owners met last week and
agreed the sport needed to crack
down on pitchers potentially us-
ing prohibited substances to spin
pitches with greater revolutions.
It allows breaking balls to move
more. The crackdown could begin
as soon as within the next two
weeks.
With the Yankees headed to
Minnesota to open a series against
the Twins on Tuesday — and Cole
slated to take the mound Wednes-
day — Donaldson on Friday called
the pitching situation “the next
steroids of baseball.”
Boone rebukes claims about ace
using illegal foreign substances
“What these guys are doing now
[is] performance enhancing to
where it is an actual superglue
type of [deal],’’ Donaldson said.
“It’s not about command. Now, it’s
about who’s throwing the nastiest
pitches.”
Donaldson continued: “Is it co-
incidence that Gerrit Cole’s spin
rate numbers went down [Thurs-
day] after four minor leaguers got
suspended for 10 games? Is that
possible? I don’t know. Maybe. At
the same time, with this situation,
they’ve let guys do it.”
Cole will address the accusa-
tions during his scheduled availa-
bility prior to Tuesday’s game in
Minnesota.
He was linked to a since-dis-
missed lawsuit by a former Angels
clubhouse employee, having alleg-
edly sent a text to the employee
looking for a substance the em-
ployee provided to pitchers from
both the Angels and opposing
teams.
After striking out 78 and walk-
ing just three in his first eight
starts — to go along with a 1.37
ERA — Cole has been less effec-
tive in his last four outings. He’s
struck out 26, walked eight and
has a 4.30 ERA.
Boone said he’s “had enough
conversations to know something
is definitely coming,’’ regarding
the use of foreign substances,
which many — including Donald-
son — believe is a chief culprit in
the historically poor offensive
numbers being put up around the
game this season, in addition to
advanced analytics.
Sources said the new enforce-
ments would include putting
added responsibility on clubs to
enforce rules against doctoring
balls within their own clubs. Um-
pires would be empowered to
check caps, gloves and uniforms
for signs of illegal substances
on a pitcher.
Joe West applied this
rule on May 27, when
he confiscated the hat
of Cardinals pitcher Gi-
ovanny Gallegos. St.
Louis manager Mike Schildt was
ejected when he argued the rul-
ing.
Boone added he’s in favor of
stricter enforcement, with pitch-
ers having moved on from the GOT HIS BACK: Aaron Boone

Still not over quad issue, Stanton

booed after whiffing as pinch hitter
By Dan Martin
Giancarlo Stanton is back
on the roster, but still not
all the way back from the
strained quad that landed
him on the injured list last
month.
He wasn’t in the lineup
Sunday with the Yankees
looking to avoid a sweep to
the Red Sox and was lim-
ited to a pinch-hit opportu-
nity in the bottom of the
eighth of the 6-5, 10-inning
loss.
Stanton struck out — his
12th whiff in 24 at-bats
since his return.
Aaron Boone made it
clear that Stanton contin-
ues to deal with lingering
issues.
“I think there’s some re-
sidual stuff,” Boone said be-
fore the game. “And I think
there’s more of building
strength and building that
endurance up to play at a
level he obviously needs to
play at.”
But he didn’t hesitate to
use him in the eighth, and
Stanton was booed after
YANKEES
NOTES
ending the inning.
Boone originally ex-
pressed hope that Stanton,
after resting for Thursday’s
series finale against the
Rays, could play in all three
games against the Red Sox.
On Sunday, the manager
said, “We feel like he’s mak-
ing steady progress to get-
ting there, but don’t want to
go the other way, too. With
the off day tomorrow,
[we’re] trying to get him
there. We know how im-
portant he is to what we do
and our offense.”
Asked whether
“get[ting] him there” re-
the
ferred to Stanton’s per-
formance or his fitness,
Boone replied, “I think they
go hand in hand. I think
getting to that place where
he feels really good and
strong and at his best phys-
ically translates probably
into really good results as
well.”
➤ Luis Severino made
his first rehab start in his
comeback from Tommy
John surgery, and Boone
said it was “very encourag-
ing.”
Severino threw 34 pitches
on Sunday for Low-A
Tampa and topped out at 98
mph in his first outing since
undergoing elbow surgery
in February 2020. He threw
11 sliders.
“My understanding is he
threw the ball really well,’’
Boone said.
The right-hander allowed
a run on two hits and a walk
and struck out three. He is
scheduled to make another
start Saturday at either
High-A Hudson Valley or
Double-A Somerset, ac-
cording to Boone.
“What I’ve seen in live
batting practices leading up
to this has been really
good,’’ Boone said. “He
feels really [good]. It
sounds like [Sunday] was
another positive step.”
Figuring he will need
around five starts before
he’s back in the Yankees’ ro-
tation, Severino could be
back next month.

Kawhi helps Clippers close out Mavericks in Game 7
By BetH HaRRis
LOS ANGELES — Kawhi Leon-
ard scored 28 points, Marcus Mor-
ris added 23 and the Clippers fi-
nally won at home, finishing off
the Mavericks 126-111 on Sunday in
Game 7 of the first-round playoff
series.
Playing in front of a small but
noisy mix of masked fans and
cardboard cutouts, the Clippers
did what neither team had been
able to pull off in the first six
games — win at home. It was the
first time in NBA history the road
team won the first six games of a
playoff series.
They became the fifth team in
league history to lose the first two
games at home and come back to
win a playoff series.
“It was a great win for us,” said
Tyronn Lue, who improved to 4-0
in Game 7s of his coaching career.
“It showed a lot about our team.”
The fourth-seeded Clippers ad-
vanced to the Western Conference
semifinals for the second straight
year. They’ll play the top-seeded
Utah Jazz starting Tuesday night
in Salt Lake City.

Looks like all of A.J. Brown’s
wooing of Julio Jones to the Titans
worked out exactly as intended.
The Falcons are trading Jones
and a sixth-round draft pick in
2023 to the Titans for a sec-
ond-rounder in 2022 and a
fourth-rounder in 2023,
the Titans announced.
The deal leaves the Fal-
cons with $7.75 mil-
lion in dead salary
cap money but the
Titans will take on
the final three years
of Jones’ contract, in-
cluding his $15.3 mil-
lion salary this season.
Jones wanted out of
Atlanta, as he privately
told the team months ago
and then revealed publicly
in a strange on-air phone call
with co-host Shannon Sharpe
on FS1’s “Undisputed.”
So he goes to Tennessee,
where, if healthy and produc-
ing like in his past, he elevates
the Titans into the conversa-
tion of contenders, in a sec-
ond-tier group with the Bills,
Ravens and Browns as the top
challengers to the two-time de-
fending AFC champion Chiefs.
The timing of the trade al-
lows the salary cap-strapped
Falcons some breathing
room. If he was traded be-
fore June 1, he would’ve
counted for $23.25 mil-
lion in dead cap space.
This way, the Falcons
save $15.3 million for the
time being by kicking it
into the future cap.

WR Jones to Titans
There is no question regarding
whether Brown, who has 1,000
yards receiving in each of his
first two NFL seasons and is
coming off his first Pro Bowl se-
lection, will be comfortable shar-
ing targets with Jones. Brown
spent the past two weeks making
impassioned pleas on social me-
dia to be united with Jones.
The recruiting efforts in-
cluded Brown sharing publicly
a voice message he left for Jones
telling him, “If you want to
carry the load, you can carry
the load, but if you get tired you
know I’ll carry you.” So, what
was Brown’s reaction to the
news that a trade is all-but-com-
plete and the Titans have as-
sembled arguably the best re-
ceiver tandem in the NFL?
“Please excuse my language,”
Brown wrote Sunday morning
on Twitter, “when I say this
“y’all done F--ked up.”
Considered a defense-first
franchise ever since the end of
the Steve McNair and Eddie Ge-
orge era, the Titans suddenly
have a fearsome offense. It’s not
just Brown and Jones but also
bruising 2,000-yard rusher Der-
rick Henry.
One-time Dolphins first-round
bust quarterback Ryan Tannehill
has resurrected his career over
the past two years with the Ti-
tans, throwing 55 touchdowns
lead. Doncic had just two points in
the run, with Dorian Finney-Smith
hitting two 3-pointers and Tim
Hardaway Jr. adding another. Fin-
ney-Smith finished with 18 points
and 10 rebounds.
The Mavs won the first two
games at Staples Center before the
Clippers tied it up with two wins
in Dallas. The Mavs won Game 5
in LA and Leonard powered the
Clippers to a road win in Game 6
with a huge fourth quarter.
“We all feel like we should have
won the series,” Finney-Smith
said. “If anybody come in and say
they don’t feel like we should have
won, they’re crazy. We just
couldn’t win at home.”

compared to 13 interceptions and
nypost.com
posting an 18-9 record, including
a one-and-done in the playoffs.
Now Tannehill has a future
Hall of Famer and all-decade
team selection in Jones, who av-
eraged an eye-popping 103
catches and 1,564 yards over a
six-year span from 2014-19. Jones
was limited to nine games by a
hamstring injury last season, but
he still put up 51 catches for 771
yards and three touchdowns.
The trade breaks up one of the
NFL’s all-time productive quar-
terback-receiver duos. Jones’
95.5 receiving yards per game
rank No. 1 all time, far ahead of
No. 2 Calvin Johnson (86.1).
It is not clear how much
longer the Falcons will stick
with Matt Ryan, but his replace-
ment for Jones already is in the
fold in tight end Kyle Pitts. With
Pitts — the No. 4 pick in the 2021
NFL Draft — and Calvin Ridley,
the Falcons have two dynamic
young pass-catchers.
By trading Jones to the Titans,
the Falcons shipped him out of
the NFC. It is unclear if an NFC
rival offered a first-round pick,
as was reported to be on the ta-
ble. The Packers could’ve tried
to make a splash trade for Jones
as a way of mending fences with
disgruntled trade-seeking quar-
terback Aaron Rodgers.
rdunleavy@nypost.com
The Clippers responded with a
24-4 spurt — including 12 in a row
— to lead 100-85 going into the
fourth. Morris made three 3-point-
ers and Kennard hit a pair. Leon-
ard scored seven points, high-
lighted by a dunk off George’s
pass. Defensively, Leonard came
up with a big block and Mann
helped contain Doncic, who had
the Mavs’ only points over the end
of the third.
“Kawhi came with the mentality
that he’s going to take this game,”
said Reggie Jackson, who added 15
points. “He wasn’t going to be shy
about his play at all. Once he got
going early, defenses had to
change.” — AP

PHILADELPHIA — Trae
Young put an early smack-
down on Philly that had
the Hawks in control of
Game 1 and finished the
win with a lob to John Col-

in celebration — and the
Hawks took a moment to
exhale after a hefty lead
was nearly squandered.
“Thank God we were up

Huerter said.
Young scored 25 of his 35
points in the first half as
Atlanta shook off Joel Em-
biid and a hostile crowd
and held on to beat the
76ers 128-124 Sunday in
their Eastern Conference
semifinal opener.
“The confidence in all
these guys is high,” Young
said. “We’re out here play-
ing for each other. Out

Embiid, All-Star Ben Sim-

were on him.
Embiid did his part with
39 points and nine re-
bounds in 38 minutes after
he suffered a small lateral
meniscus tear in his right
knee last Monday against

play Saturday night for the Nets
in their second-round series
opener against the Bucks.
He might get less than that.
He might get no run at all.
After all, he is a backup and
he moved into the postsea-
son on the outside looking in,
when it came to inclusion in
the rotation. He played a total
of 10 minutes in the five-game
series against the Celtics.
All that changed for James,
a 30-year old journeyman,
when James Harden lasted
only 43 seconds before aggra-
vating a right hamstring issue
that caused him to miss 21
games down the stretch
of the regular season.
James was needed, and
he responded, logging
30 minutes and scoring
12 points to go along
with seven rebounds
and three assists in the
Nets’ 115-107 victory.
From no time to the big
time, just like that.
“Honestly I didn’t even
see him really get hurt,’’ James
said Sunday after practice. “I just
saw him walking off the court and
thought it was a timeout, because
I think I was talking ... I really
wasn’t paying attention to the
game at that moment. I think I
was grabbing water, getting the
normal stuff that I get right at the
beginning of the game.
“So I saw him walking off the
court and then he just kept walk-
ing, so I didn’t really understand
to be ready.’ So it kind of changed
my mentality from what I
thought was going to happen, I
thought maybe I play five min-
utes at the most, or maybe I don’t
play at all, so yeah, got to stay in
the right mental capacity and
stay locked into the game, really.’’
Staying in the right mental ca-
pacity was an immense challenge
for James, a 6-foot-1 guard when
went undrafted and, ever since
2012, has lived a nomadic basket-
ball life. The Nets on April 23
signed him to the first of two 10-
day contracts and he played in 13
games during the regular season.
“To be honest, playing basket-
ball really isn’t that tough,’’ James
said. “Just going out there and just
being able to try to contribute and
kind of put all your chips on the
table isn’t really the tough part, to
be honest. It’s more the downtime
when I wasn’t really playing and
just trying to stay ready and stay
mentally focused. It’s just a differ-
ent situation than I’m used to.
That part was tougher than actu-
ally playing, I think, for me.’’
Losing Harden was a shock to
the Nets, but James was not a bit
hesitant as he hit the court. He
made five of his 11 shots from
the floor and did not commit a
turnover, running the break
with fearlessness. The Nets out-
scored the Bucks by 12 points
with James in the game.
“It’s just a level of professional-
ism, knowing to stay ready when-
ever your number is called,’’
sharpshooter Joe Harris said.
Payton’s pop: Elfrid
deserved final shot
By Marc BerMan
Elfrid Payton Sr. didn’t have any issues that
his son was pulled from the starting lineup
for Derrick Rose for Game 3 of the Knicks’
first-round series loss to Atlanta.
But when Tom Thibodeau’s experiment
backfired, Payton Sr., who played outside
linebacker for Grambling under the legend-
ary Eddie Robinson and was a star in the
Canadian Football League, was left scratch-
ing his head after his son never played an-
other minute.
With Payton sitting out the final three
games, the Knicks were blown out in each
game — by a total of 42 points — and Rose
broke down at the end.
“I would’ve liked to see him play based
on him playing the whole year,’’ Payton Sr.
told The Post. “That’s the only thing I had
about it. I was surprised they didn’t try to
put him back in and see. I’m not saying it
didn’t go well because he wasn’t in there.
But they didn’t try to go back to him even
in a reserve role.’’
The Paytons live in New Orleans, and Pay-
ton Sr. attended the games in Atlanta. Pay-
ton’s mother, Danielle, was in New York, but
she was little more cutting on Twitter than
Payton Sr. was to The Post. Danielle posted a
photo of the new Knicks starting lineup late
in the Game 3 loss with the comment: “How
that worked out for you! #ProudMama.’’
After the snubs, it appears clear the
Knicks are ready to move on from Payton,
nypost.com
All season, Thibodeau had stuck by Pay-
ton’s side despite social media furor that
Payton should come out of the starting
lineup. There was an outcry when rookie
Immanuel Quickley blossomed, then
when Rose got to town. Thibodeau de-
fended Payton’s ability to organize the of-
fense and praised his defensive physicality.
Perhaps the negativity finally got to Pay-
ton’s psyche. He was weaving a respecta-
ble season until the final few weeks when
he crashed and his minutes were steadily
reduced.
Payton lost his mojo but still wound up
averaging 10.4 points, 3.2 assists and 3.4 re-
bounds.
However, in the final eight regular-sea-
son games, Payton averaged just 15 min-
utes. He often played the game’s first
seven minutes and wouldn’t return until
the start of the second half. He attacked
less and his body language appeared to in-
dicate a half-hearted effort.
“It was more about the minutes and how
he was being played that had a big bear-
ing,’’ Payton Sr. said. “It was tough to do
anything with those minutes. What’s he
going to do with 12 minutes? He comes out
after five minutes then he’s not back until
the third quarter. ‘’
Payton Sr. emphasized he was in favor of
Rose starting but feels his son could’ve
helped the Rose-decimated second unit.
In all three blowout losses, Thibodeau
stuck with Alec Burks and Quickley —

➤ The Big 3 of Harden,
Kevin Durant and Kyrie
Irving have carried much
of the offensive burden for
the Nets all season. But
after Harden got hurt just
43 seconds into Saturday’s
Game 1, Joe Harris and
Blake Griffin stepped up
on both ends of the court.
Griffin had 18 points, 14 re-
bounds and two steals, shoot-
ing 4-for-9 from 3-point
range. Harris scored 19 points
and hit 5 of 9 from deep. He’s
knocked down multiple 3s in
all six playoff games, shooting
22 of 42 (.524) from distance.

New York Post, Monday, June 7, 2021
By Brian Lewis
The Nets say they’ve
averted the worst-case sce-
narios with James Harden’s
troublesome hamstring and
are hopeful the star can re-
turn at some point during the
Eastern Conference semifi-
nals against Milwaukee.
A statement termed
Harden’s injury as “right
hamstring tightness,” and
when Steve Nash was asked
multiple times on Sunday if
the MRI on Harden’s leg re-
vealed a strain — which
would be more severe — the
coach implied it did not.
“All I’m aware of is tight-
ness,” Nash said. “James, he
has high hopes and he wants
to be back ASAP. We want to
protect James, too; we want to
make sure he’s right.
“This is playoff time. This is
time to take some risks, but it
has to be right to take those
risks. We’re not going to take
any old risk. So, we hope he’s
back, he believes he can be
back. But we’ve got to see
what happens, and only time
can tell.”
Granted, it’s the same right
hamstring that cost Harden 18
straight games late in the reg-
ular season. Despite having
been forced out of Saturday’s
Game 1 win and ruled out for
Monday’s Game 2, the news
on Harden could’ve been
worse.
Brooklyn offered no
concrete timetable for
Harden’s return. But when
pressed, Nash did say he
was hopeful of seeing the
guard play again during
this series.
“I’m definitely hopeful
of seeing him,” Nash said.
“It’s tightness, and we’ve
had this history before,
which was very difficult to
predict … so I’m very re-
luctant to make any prog-

nosis. But obviously, we’re re-
ally hopeful that he heals
quickly and can move past it.
We just focus on the next
game and understanding he
won’t be with us for the next
game, but hope he heals very,
very quickly.”
Harden’s injury happened
43 seconds into Game 1 as he
drove against Jrue Holiday on
a kickout to Joe Harris. He
grabbed his right leg and gin-
gerly left the court.
He had an MRI that the
Nets say showed no strain,
thus no structural damage.
“Tightness, and most im-
portantly he’s out for the next
game,” Nash said. “So we’re
preparing for [Monday] as we
ended up playing [Saturday,]
and that’s our focus.
“For James we obviously are
desperate for him to return,
and he’s a huge piece of what
we do. But at this point, it’d be tation and logged 30:15 in
all guesswork. … He’s had
such an up-and-down recent
history with it that it’s really
hard to predict; so let’s hope
for the best.”
That history started March
31 against Houston, when
Harden felt tightness and sat
out the next two games.
Brooklyn denied he had a
strain, but upon Harden’s
April 5 return against the
Knicks, he lasted just 4:22 be-
fore getting injured again.

After a strain was then con-
firmed, Harden missed 18
straight games over five
weeks, not coming back until
May 12. He’d been on the
verge of an earlier return but
suffered a setback during an
April 19 on-court rehab ses-
sion.
This time the Nets are ex-
pecting a quicker rehab.
“He seemed to be in good
spirits, to be honest,” Harris
said. “He was talking a lot
during film, asking a lot of
questions, normal sort of
leadership role.”
For perspective, Game 6
against Milwaukee would
be June 17 if needed, 12
days from the injury. A
potential Game 7 would
be June 19, exactly two
weeks’ time.
Mike James was sum-
moned back into the ro-
Game 1. Kyrie Irving
scored 25 points in 45
minutes, and will likely
become more ball domi-
nant along with Kevin Du-
rant.
“He’s one of the greatest
players in the game. So we
miss a guy that can play-
make, can manipulate the de-
fense, can score one-on-one. I
could keep going. He’s a
leader for us. So, we miss a

Nash. “But we’ve had

Yes, Nash admitted. He’d actu-
ally allowed himself, in a moment
of weakness, to think the Nets
might just figure out a way to
emerge from these playoffs with-
out a moment like this, and with-
out the corresponding absence.
“I was there prior to last night,”
Nash said of reaching that fine but
fleeting moment of Zen. “But
that’s not our reality and we have
to accept it and enjoy the opportu-
nity we have regardless of the ad-
versity.”
Now, deep breath: the Nets
wound up fine Saturday night.
They wound up better than fine,
in fact. They shrugged off the in-
itial shock to the system. They
got terrific performances by the
remaining two-thirds of the Big
3 (29 points, 10 rebounds for
Kevin Durant, 25 points and
eight assists from Kyrie Irving).
They got a throwback effort
from Blake Griffin (18 points, 14
rebounds). They got the kind of
intriguing minutes off the bench,
12 points in 30 minutes, that made
Mike James such an intriguing
late-season addition. They held
the 3-point-happy Bucks to 20 per-
cent from beyond the arc. They
won going away.
Even playing the final 47 min-
utes and 17 seconds without their
quarterback. It was the kind of ef-
fort that certainly had that Nets-
hating faction of the NBA and the
league’s fan base take pause.
“You never know what will hap-
pen over the course of the play-
offs,” Nets guard Joe Harris said.
Some things you do know, how-
ever, and this is one: Harden is out
of Game 2 Monday night. There’s
no telling how many games he
might miss, but we do know this
isn’t a new problem for him. And
hamstrings, as a rule, require rest
above all else in order to get bet-
ter. And it is unlikely the Bucks, or
anyone else still alive in these
playoffs, will go along with hitting
the pause button.
So there is, as Nash calls it, their
reality.
“We’ll have to play even better
to win Game 2,” Nash said.
And that is another part of the
reality. You can joke about how
the Bucks were handed a gift Sat-
urday night and immediately
parted with it, tossing it into the
East River. But now they will have
time to prepare for the Nets minus
Harden. And they are a team that
has suffered enough of their own
playoff agonies the past few years
that they are well-versed on the
whims and wherefores of an NBA
playoff series.
The Nets played 23 games with-
out Harden once they imported
him from Houston and went 12-11
in those games. They are also a
team that will never have to be
checked on for wavering or qua-
vering confidence. They believe in
next-man-up as both credo and
mantra. They have lived that all
year.
And it is their reality now.
“Everyone has to be ready when
their number’s called,” Harris said.
Said Nash: “We’re just prepar-
ing for [Monday]. That’s our fo-
cus. We understand [Harden’s
injury] is a lot of guesswork, a
lot of ups and downs, and hard
to predict.”
The Nets don’t bother to seek
anyone’s sympathy, so they will
not be disappointed to discover
there is very little out there. We al-
ways knew it was going to be a
crazy gauntlet, keeping this fragile
mix together the whole way. Nash
knew it too, even if he let his guard
down ever so fleetingly. Won’t
make that mistake again. This is
their reality.

Big 3 or 2, Bucks say they just have to be better

By Paul Schwartz
How the heck should I
know?
That was, in essence,
what Bucks forward Khris
Middleton said when asked
how the Nets will be weak-
ened or different without
James Harden.
“I can’t really answer that
question because we ha-
ven’t played with all three
of those guys on the court
at the same time,’’ Middle-
ton said Sunday after prac-
tice. “You can watch it on
film, you can watch it dur-
ing the game, but you don’t
really have a real feel for it
unless you go out against
them and we haven’t yet.’’
The Bucks faced the Nets
three times in the regular
season (with the Bucks
winning two of three) and
at no point was the Nets’
Big 3 of Kevin Durant, Kyrie
Irving and Harden on the
court at the same time. Sat-
urday night, Harden lasted
43 seconds of the second-
round series opener at Bar-
clays Center before he ex-
ited with tightness in the
right hamstring he dam-
aged during the season. The
Nets overcame the shock of
seeing Harden walk off and
the Bucks did not react well
at all, losing 115-107.
“I thought overall our de-
fense wasn’t as good as it
needs to be,’’ Bucks coach
Mike Budenholzer said.
“We can be better on Du-
rant, we can be better on Ir-
ving, but we got to be just as
conscious and much better,
whether it be [Blake] Grif-
fin and [Joe] Harris, some
of their other guys played
well. We just got to be sig-
nificantly better defen-
sively.’’
The Bucks arranged their
entire defensive thrust to
deal with the Big 3. Buden-
holzer admitted he spent
plenty of time during Sun-
day’s practice session alter-
ing that approach leading
into Game 2 Monday night,
with Harden already de-
clared out.
“Durant and Irving are
probably just maybe more
aggressive, more, I don’t
want to say ball-dominant
because I thought they
moved the ball well and
played with each other
well,’’ Budenholzer said. “I
think those two guys can
just take on a more com-
manding role if and when
Harden doesn’t play.
They’ve played a significant
number of games without
him. I think they have that
confidence and comfort
just to be more ball domi-
nant.’’
It is going to be exceed-
ingly difficult for the Bucks
to even the series unless
they get more from their
marquee players other than
Giannis Antetokounmpo
(34 points). If Middleton
plays the way he did in the
opener, the Bucks are sunk.
In 36 minutes, he scored
just 13 points on brutal
6-for-23 shooting. Middle-
ton missed all five of his
3-point attempts, a serious
downer for a career 39.5
percent shooter from be-
yond the arc. The Bucks
shot 6 of 30 from long dis-
tance.
“I’d say for the most part
they contested the majority
of the shots,’’ Middleton
said. “I feel like we still
missed a lot of makeable
shots we normally make.
They did a great job con-
testing every shot, making
sure nobody was left wide
open or nobody had an easy
look at the rim.’’

SAN DIEGO — Seldom

has a series split felt like
such a win for the Mets.
Banged up and still won-
dering from where much of
the offense will generate on
a daily basis, the Mets came
to Petco Park to face a Na-
tional League powerhouse,
lost two close games and
then unleashed the 1-2
punch of Jacob deGrom and
Marcus Stroman.
After deGrom dominated
with seven scoreless in-
nings in a win, Stroman on
Sunday turned in his best
all-around performance of
the season, surrendering
only an unearned run over 6
²/₃ frames and delivering an
RBI double in the Mets’ 6-2
victory over the Padres.
“What we have been do-
ing is truly remarkable with
having such prominent guys
on the [injured list],” Stro-
man said. “To have these
guys step in and dominate
has been amazing to see.
We can’t wait to get those
guys back, but we’re ex-
tremely confident in the
now. We know we can win
with the guys that we do
have out there.”
