COXSACKIE — After finding more than half a pound of synthetic marijuana, or K2, at Greene Correctional Facility last week, the union representing state corrections officers sounded the alarm Wednesday for tighter security.

A suspicious package addressed to an inmate was found to contain the marijuana, as well as eight milligrams of Suboxone strips, hidden in balloons packed inside cans

of food, according to a release from the New York State Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association.

Suboxone is the brand name for a prescription medication used to treat addiction to illegal or prescription opioids, according to the American Addiction Centers website. It contains the ingredients buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid that blocks opiate receptors and reduces a person’s urges.

The state Department of

Corrections and Community Supervision has not identified the inmate.

“The successful seizure of contraband at Greene Correctional Facility is a clear display of the hard working men and women of the Department putting their training to work, while utilizing the technology investments and policy changes that DOCCS has made under the Governor’s leadership,” DOCCS spokesman Thomas Mailey said. “It See UNION A8

HUDSON — It’s been more than 225 years since the first 19 firefighters were appointed to protect the city in the state’s first organized fire department.

Among them were local merchants, lawyers and other community members who wanted to keep their city safe.

Today, the Hudson Fire Department is the oldest active volunteer fire department in the state. In that time, the city has become the address of the state Fireman’s Home, a retirement destination for career firefighters, and the Firemen’s Association of the State See FIRE A8

Veteran with PTSD takes message to students

By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — Vietnam War veteran Frank Romeo, 70, is on a 750-mile walk across New York state to bring awareness to post-traumatic stress disorder and its impact, particularly on veterans. Wednesday morning he stopped at Hudson High School to share his experiences with the students.

On display during the presentation, entitled “The Art of War,” were reproductions of paintings Romeo and other veterans with PTSD created as an outlet and a way to illustrate their feelings.

Romeo said he joined the U.S. Army immediately after high school graduation and following training was sent to Vietnam “during the bloodiest fighting of the war” — and fought in the Tet Offensive, in which the U.S. lost 5,000

Vietnam War veteran Frank Romeo speaks with students at Hudson High School following his presentation, “The Art of War.”

American soldiers in a single month. At one point, Romeo was separated from

his unit and tried to elude the enemy and stay alive. He was shot multiple

times, including in the face, leg and back.

“This was the start of my personal trauma,” Romeo said.

His treatment involved regular doses of morphine, a powerful pain-killer, which led to drug problems, he said.

When he returned stateside, Romeo found a far different country than the one he left.

“America had changed while I was away,” he said. “The anti-war movement was growing and there were a lot of people protesting the war. I left the hospital in my uniform after a year of being in the hospital, and the anti-war protesters that wanted to stop the war spit on me. That was the way soldiers were treated in the 1960s and early See VETERAN A8

WASHINGTON — After 23 months, 500 search warrants, 2,300 subpoenas and a string of indictments, the results of the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller will be public today in a nearly 400-page report.

The treatise is likely to add significantly to our understanding of Russia’s 2016 election interference and President Donald Trump’s efforts to control federal inquiries into the matter.

Attorney General William Barr said last month that the special counsel did not find that anyone associated with the Trump campaign worked with the Russian government to illegally influence the election. He also said there was insufficient evidence that Trump illegally obstructed justice. But Americans have been eagerly waiting to hear from Mueller’s investigators in their own words.

Whether you have followed every step of the investigation or are tuning in after months of avoiding the headlines, here is a primer for the report’s release.

Q: When will the report come out?

A: Thursday morning, according to the Justice Department.

Q: Where can I find it?

A: The Justice Department is expected to publish it on the special counsel’s website. The New York Times will be offering live updates and analysis of the key findings, as will most likely every major news organization.

Q: What information will be redacted?

A: Barr has said that law enforcement officials are blacking out sensitive information and that the redactions will be colorcoded so we will know the reason behind each one. They will fall into four categories: 1. Information that has been presented to a grand jury, which is subject to secrecy rules. This could conceivably cover a lot of material.

2. Material that intelligence officials fear could compromise sensitive sources and methods.

This would include information from FBI informants and foreign allies.

3. Information that could hamper other current investigations, including spinoffs of the Mueller inquiry. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn and Manhattan are investigating the finances of the Trump inaugural committee and hush payments intended to cover up a sex scan-

dal that threatened to upend Trump’s campaign.

4. Material that the Justice Department believes would unfairly infringe on the privacy and damage the reputations of “peripheral third parties.”

Q: Why the redactions?

A: Barr’s concerns are standard for prosecutors handling sensitive information. “It is not like there is anything crazy on his list,” said Mary McCord, who led the Justice Department’s national security division from 2016 to 2017.

Prosecutors are prohibited under a federal rule of criminal procedure from disclosing grand jury material. They also try not to jeopardize intelligence sources and methods that contribute to the nation’s security.

They want to keep current criminal inquiries as quiet as possible to maximize investigators’ leverage and to protect the reputations of people who may never be charged with a crime. And they try not to publicly identify witnesses or other peripheral figures for the same reason.

“These are well-established principles,” McCord said. “But it remains to be seen how broadly or narrowly Barr applies them.

And of course because we won’t know what has been redacted, we can’t make much of a judgment about whether he has been too broad or not.”

The only yardstick for the general public — a highly imperfect one — will be the percentage of the report that is hidden from view. “If nine-tenths of

the report is blacked out, I think we confidently can then say, ‘Yes, that is too broad,’” McCord said.

Q: What part of the report is likely to be most interesting?

A: Reporters are likely to make a beeline to the section of the report that addresses why Mueller decided not to draw a conclusion about whether Trump obstructed justice, citing “difficult issues” of law and fact.

Barr resolved those issues, deciding that there was insufficient evidence that the president had committed a crime.

The report should either bolster that finding or call it into question.

Barr’s brief summation of the report’s main findings, released last month, suggested that prosecutors were unable to show that the president acted with “corrupt intent” to block the federal inquiry. The report is expected to address whether and why that was so. It may render some judgment on the president’s refusal to be interviewed in person and whether that hampered prosecutors.

Reporters will also zero in on what about the president’s conduct raised the possibility he may have obstructed justice.

Barr told Congress last month that “a number of actions by the president” prompted concerns, “most of which have been the subject of public reporting.”

Barr’s comment implied there were troubling actions that have not yet been revealed.

Does the report detail them?

report?

A: We don’t know. The House Judiciary Committee has authorized a subpoena for the entire text of the report and the underlying evidence. The committee has not set a date to issue the subpoena. And Barr has said he is willing to consider whether he can share more information with the House and Senate Judiciary committees than he decided to release publicly.

But Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are unlikely to be satisfied with a briefing or partial release; it appears likely that Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., the head of the committee, will issue the subpoena.

Whether the committee would release whatever information it gets is unclear. The Justice Department would probably resist the public disclosure of information it has deemed confidential or classified, setting up a battle in court.

Q: Is this the final word on the 2016 election and its aftermath?

A: Far from it. Even if much of the nation has moved on to “Game of Thrones,” this saga will continue.

Barr pledged to investigate the origins of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Russia’s election interference, which Mueller took over in May 2017. Congressional Democrats want to scrutinize the decisions by the special counsel and the attorney general, as well as Trump’s own behavior.

Barr has voluntarily agreed to explain his decisions to the House and Senate Judiciary committees in early May. The House committee is also likely to call Mueller to testify.

House Democrats are busy with their own investigations into matters related to the Mueller inquiry, including whether the president abused his powers or obstructed justice and whether foreign governments exerted improper influence over Trump and his family.

In the Senate, the intelligence committee is still working on its own report that will address some of the same questions that the Mueller team investigated.

Lawmakers may propose policy changes to protect U.S. elections from future foreign interference.

In short, the cottage industry of investigators that has sprung up in the past two years expects to be busy until at least the next presidential election.

One California high school’s long avian nightmare is finally over.

Rio Americano High School on the east side of Sacramento had been raising money for years to renovate its main athletic field. The project, dubbed “Field of Dreams” by the booster club, funded an allweather synthetic turf field for football, soccer and lacrosse; a new running track; shot put and discus throwing areas; and sprinting and long-jump alleys.

The money also provided for a new snack bar, restrooms, box office and scoreboard.

It was set to open April 2 with a boys’ lacrosse game, but days earlier construction workers doing a final check of the new turf field found a bird’s nest in the end zone.

It belonged to a family of killdeer, a roughly pigeon-size

bird that likes to nest in open areas such as arid soil, gravel, grassland or, in this case, artificial turf. Even though the birds are not endangered - in fact, they’re very common - they are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, which makes it illegal to possess, sell or disturb any bird that migrates between the United States and Canada without a federal waiver.

So when the nest was discovered on Rio Americano’s new field, Principal Brian Ginter said the grand opening would have to wait. Construction crews erected a barrier around the it so as not to disturb the birds or the four eggs inside.

The lacrosse team would just have to wait for them to hatch.

“The bird showed up, and we’ll just let it do its thing and then we’ll use the field when we can,” Ginter told the Sacra-

mento Bee. So the team, and community, waited. And waited.

It takes 24 to 28 days for killdeer eggs to hatch, according to the National Audubon Society. Once they do, the family unit (both killdeer parents care for young) don’t maintain a nest and the field would be available for play.

Finally last Wednesday, the eggs hatched.

Rio Americano’s spring teams will get to play their first games in the new stadium next week, when the school returns from spring break, Ginter wrote in an email to The Washington Post.

Until then, the killdeer family still has the run of the roost,

but thanks to their migratory patterns, they likely won’t be around when students return to campus.

ALBANY — State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos announced the availability of $1.45 million in grants to promote smart growth in communities and not-for-profits in the Adirondack and Catskill parks.

DEC, in partnership with the Department of State and the Adirondack Park Agency, is soliciting applications for projects that link environmental protection, economic development, and community livability within the forest preserves. The focus for this round of Smart Growth Grant applications is creating agefriendly communities. Agefriendly projects help create more livable communities for people of all ages and applicants are encouraged to submit projects that enhance

these characteristics.

“The Adirondack and Catskill parks are more than vacation spots with vast mountainous and scenic regions of protected lands,” said Commissioner Seggos.

“The parks are composed of public parklands and private property, with more than 100,000 permanent residents and more than 100 municipal governments and hamlets.

Smart growth projects enable the communities in the parks to capitalize on their unique natural settings to improve economic vitality, reinforce the assets of villages and hamlets, and help preserve their heritage.”

DEC’s Community Smart Growth Grants Program is modeled after the national “smart growth” movement and promotes growth that

harmonizes economic development with the protection of the natural and built environment. For more information, including a list of previous projects awarded under the Smart Growth Grant Program, visit DEC’s website.

The announcement marks the sixth round of Smart Growth Grants. Approximately $5 million has been awarded to communities since 2008 — $1.5 million in the Catskill Park, and $3.5 million in the Adirondack Park. Smart growth is a renewal of land use patterns that once came naturally in the parks and can provide the right balance between development and preservation for Adirondack and Catskill communities.

Funding for this round of Community Smart Growth

Grants is provided by the New York State Environmental Protection Fund and includes $1,050,000 for Adirondack Park projects and $400,000 for projects in the Catskill Park. Eligible projects include: Developing municipal comprehensive plans; Providing bike-friendly routes and amenities; Improving or promoting local/regional museums and theaters; Improving main street facades; Refurbishing historic properties; Providing communitybased tourism programs and activities; Creating new recreational opportunities; Developing multi-use trails; Installing informational signage and kiosks; Enhancing parks and public spaces; Updating land use laws; Improving visitor centers; Beau-

tifying tourism sites; and Providing sidewalks in hamlets and villages.

Applicants must be a county, town, or village located wholly or partially within the Adirondack or Catskill parks or a not-for-profit organization. Partnerships are encouraged. Projects submitted must be located wholly within the borders of the Adirondack Park or anywhere within a town or village that lies wholly or partially within the Catskill Park and must be consistent with the Smart Growth principles outlined in the grant program Request for Applications.

The Request for Applications is available through the NYS Grants Gateway and the deadline to apply is 3 p.m.

OUR VIEW

A cure far worse than the disease Many people who’ve lived in the Twin Counties for a long time know the Hudson River is an ailing waterway, but we didn’t know how bad it was until we learned that the Hudson is the nation’s second-most endangered river, according to a report by American River, an organization that ranks rivers threatened by critical decisions about conservation and infrastructure.

It’s in a highly critical condition this year, mostly because the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wants to install storm surge barriers along the Hudson to prevent catastrophic flooding, such as the type that heavily damaged New Jersey, New York City, Long Island and the lower Hudson Valley during Hurricane Sandy.

The idea of keeping flood waters at bay looks good on paper, but local environmental experts who know a thing or two about the Hudson say barriers pose a greater ecological threat.

“Harming this iconic river with massive flood barriers doesn’t make sense when we should be identifying better, more cost-effective options to protect people and property, as well as river health,” said Eileen Shader of American Rivers. “We are already feeling the impacts of climate change in the Northeast, including storm surge and sea level rise, and it’s only going to get worse.”

The barriers will prevent the natural passage of fish and wildlife along the river and

cause a build-up of contaminants, leading to algae blooms, according to John Lipscomb, vice president of advocacy for Riverkeeper and a veteran patrol boat captain.

“For the Hudson, the stakes in this decision cannot be overstated,” Lipscomb said.

“These storm barriers pose a truly existential threat to the Hudson. We cannot — must not — allow these barriers to be built. The twicedaily tides are the essential respiration and the heartbeat of this living ecosystem. The mouth of the river must remain open and unrestricted, as it has been for millennia.”

The Hudson River is a vitally important waterway, crucial to our ecology, culture and economy. For decades, the river has been the victim of contamination by deadly chemical waste, blind and undirected economic development and, most recently, toxic PCB pollution by General Electric.

And now, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, whose plan seems aimed at protecting New York City without regard to communities in Greene and Columbia counties, want to install storm surge barriers. These could strangle the Hudson’s delicate ecosystem and the communities living in it. The Army Corps must ensure that any solution prevents coastal flooding from both storms and sea level rise without damaging the river. As it now stands, the proposed cure is far worse than the disease.

ANOTHER VIEW

Your turn, Trump (c) 2019,The Washington Post ·

One by one, Democratic presidential hopefuls are releasing their tax returns. Years of them. Longtime holdout Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., revealed 10 years of returns at the tail end of Tax Day, which arrived on Monday this year. Later that evening, former Texas representative Beto O’Rourke unveiled a decade of his personal tax information. Both followed Sen. Kamala Harris, D- Calif., who released 15 years of tax returns on Sunday, enabling her campaign to boast that Harris is “the most transparent candidate in the field when it comes to information about her personal finances.”

It is nice to see a race to the top, rather than the bottom, for a change. This is the kind of political one-upmanship Americans should welcome.

Clearly, part of the point is to draw a contrast with President Donald Trump, who routinely promised during the 2016 presidential race to offer his tax information for public scrutiny. He has instead revealed nothing.

His excuse is that his returns are under audit, but that would not prevent him from releasing tax documents he signed and swore to be true - and certainly does not explain why he refuses to reveal returns from years ago, as his challengers have done.

The president’s staff has offered nothing more persuasive. Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said earlier this month the public would “never” see the president’s tax returns, arguing that the 2016 election had settled the question over whether Americans cared. In fact, Trump’s persistent The Daily Mail welcomes letters to the editor. All letters must contain a full name, full address and a daytime telephone number. Names will be published, but phone numbers will not be divulged.

Letters of less than 400 words are more likely to be published quickly. The newspaper reserves the right to edit letters for length, clarity and content.

Letters should be exclusive to this publication, not duplicates of those sent to other persons, agencies or publications. Writers are ordinarily limited to

promises to disclose more personal financial data remain unfulfilled campaign pledges.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Sunday that Democrats were not smart enough to understand Trump’s tax returns, a new defense of Trump’s indefensible refusal to come clean that hardly rises above the level of a schoolyard insult.

Ever since President Richard M. Nixon set the example, presidents and major candidates have revealed their tax return information to offer voters a view of how these national leaders conduct their private affairs.

The returns sometimes expose nothing surprising. Sometimes they result in a headline or two, as when the socialist Sanders was revealed to be a millionaire. The Post’s James Hohmann pointed out Tuesday that the most interesting nugget from the Democrats’ recent tax revelations is that many of the candidates have not given much to charity.

Each of these women and men has years, if not decades, of public service that voters can judge. Trump entered office with a privately-held business of unknown value and a Twitter feed. It was all the more important for voters to see how reality matched up to his claims of private business success. Tax returns should have been only the baseline for transparency; a thorough accounting of his business arrangements and possible conflicts of interest was also needed.

It is needed still. Americans remain in the dark about Trump’s potential conflicts. As Democratic candidates do the right thing, Trump continues to insult the voters who entrusted him to lead the nation.

The electric-vehicle tax credit should be taken off the road WASHINGTON — Some government foolishness has an educational value that compensates for its considerable cost. Consider the multibillion-dollar federal electric-vehicle tax credit, which efficiently illustrates how government can, with one act, diminish its already-negligible prestige while subtracting from America’s fairness. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., and Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., hope to repeal the tax credit, which probably will survive because it does something that government enjoys doing: It transfers wealth upward by subsidizing affluent individuals and large economic entities.

In 1992, Congress, with its itch to supplant the market in telling people what to build and buy, established a subsidy for buyers of electric vehicles, which then were a negligible fraction of the vehicle market. In 2009, however, as the nation reeled from the Great Recession, the Obama administration acted on an axiom of the president’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Using the crisis as an excuse to do what they wanted to do anyway, those who think government planning of the U.S economy is a neat idea joined with environmentalists to persuade Congress — persuading it to dispense money is not difficult — to create a tax credit of up to $7,500 for consumers who buy battery-powered electric vehicles.

The tax credit was part of the administration’s “stimulus” package, which is most remembered for its promise of “shovel-ready” jobs. The president, too busy expanding the government to understand the consequences of prior expansions, discovered that such jobs are almost nonexistent, thanks to red tape that must be untangled before shovels can be wielded.

The tax credit quickly became another example of the government’s solicitousness for those who are comfortable, and who are skillful in defense of their

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL comforts. Today, demand for electric cars is still insufficient to produce manufacturing economies of scale (after a decade of production, moral exhortations and subsidies, electric cars are a fraction of 1% of all vehicle sales), and batteries are expensive. So, The Wall Street Journal reports, the $42,000 average price for an electric car is $8,000 more than the average price of a new car, and $22,000 more than the average price of a new small gasoline-powered car.

The Pacific Research Institute has examined 2014 IRS data showing that 79% of the electric-vehicle tax credits were collected by households with adjusted gross incomes of more than $100,000, and 1% by households earning less than $50,000. A 2017 survey found that households earning $200,000 received the most from the tax credit.

Some states have augmented the federal credit: In California, where about half of electric vehicles are sold, consumers can gain up to $15,000; in insolvent Connecticut — blue states are incorrigible — $10,500. The credit is, however, capped: Manufacturers can only sell 200,000 vehicles eligible for the full credit. Now almost all manufacturers (including high-end companies Bentley, Aston Martin and Maserati) are entering the electric-vehicle sector, and the cap is impinging on some of them (General Motors, Nissan). So, at long last such vehicles can be allowed to sink or swim on their own, right?

Of course not. The Barrasso-Smith legislation is fiercely opposed by the manufacturers, who

of course want to expand and entrench it by removing the cap, partly because they know what the Journal knows: “When Georgia ended its $5,000 state tax credit in 2015, sales of electric vehicles fell 89% in two months.”

Electric cars have cachet with advanced thinkers who want to be, or to be seen to be, environmentally nice.

They do not think of such vehicles as 27.4% coal cars, that being the percentage of U.S. electricity generated by coal-fired power plants.

According to a Manhattan Institute study: “[B]ecause of stringent emissions standards and low-sulfur gasoline, new ICVs [internal combustion vehicles] today emit very little pollution, and they will emit even less in the future. Compared with new ICVs, ZEVs [zero-emissions vehicles] charged with the forecast mix of electric generation will emit morecriteria air pollutants.” And the reduction of carbon dioxide — “less than 1% of total forecast[ed] energy-related U.S. CO2 emissions through 2050” — “will have no measurable impact on climate.”

The environmental excuse for the regressive tax credit being nonexistent, those Democratic senators whose presidential campaigns are fueled by fury about government being “rigged” for the benefit of “the rich” who are not paying “their fair share” will join their Wyoming colleague’s attempt to end the electricvehicle tax credit, if they mean what they say.

Delta to hire 500 aircraft mechanics Kelly Yamanouchi The New York Times News Service

ATLANTA — Delta Air Lines plans to hire 500 aviation maintenance technicians this year, during a period when aircraft mechanics are in high demand.

Atlanta-based Delta runs the largest airline maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operation in North America, and expects to double the size of its TechOps business over the next five years to $2 billion in revenue.

Many of the job openings will be at its largest hub in Atlanta, where Delta has its largest TechOps facilities.

Delta CEO Ed Bastian disclosed the hiring plans for the airline’s expanding maintenance business at the MRO Americas conference in Atlanta this month.

The airline expects to grow its maintenance business through agreements such as one designating Delta as an authorized Rolls-Royce aircraft engine maintenance center and in expanded facilities including a new engine shop and massive new engine test cell.

But aircraft maintenance companies around the country are struggling to motivate enough young people to enter the profession to fill their pipeline of openings expected in the years and decades to come.

One big motivator: Delta says its aircraft mechanics can make a salary of as much as $100,000 a year.

The job calls for an FAA airframe and power plant license, but doesn’t require a four-year college degree.

Working for an airline can come with travel benefits. However, being an aircraft mechanic is not a typical 9-to-5 office job where working from home is an option.

Jack Arehart, Delta TechOps president of MRO Services, said Delta has added ping pong and foos-

ball tables for workers.

But when younger workers enter the aircraft mechanic workforce, they are still junior to others, and that has real-life ramifications.

At an airline like Delta that operates 24 hours a day and seven days a week, new mechanics are “going to work on the midnight shift and they’re not going to have weekends off,” Arehart said. “We still have a veteran workforce we have to take care of, and they’re going to command their seniority, their weekends off.”

More than 30 percent of aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs) at Delta TechOps are forecast to retire over the next decade.

To prepare to replace them and expand, Delta works with the U.S. military and regional airlines and has partnered with nearly 50 aviation maintenance schools.

Through the partnerships with the AMT schools, Delta offers tours, job shadowing and training for instructors, and donates parts, engines and airframes for students to practice working on jet aircraft components.

Delta said it also partnered with the state of Georgia to include AMT training in scholarship programs.

Robert Ireland, managing director of engineering and maintenance at industry group Airlines for America, said the aircraft mechanics the industry will need to fill its ranks in the future are in fifth grade today.

“We have to grow from the bottom,” Ireland said.

“The technician population needs to be cultivated at all ages to ensure we don’t hit that cliff.”

Florida teen who threatened Colorado schools found dead of self-inflicted gunshot wound

By David Ovalle and Martin Vassolo Miami Herald

MIAMI — Sol Pais, the 18-year-old Miami Beach High student who traveled to Colorado, bought a shotgun and threatened violence against schools, has died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said Wednesday.

The FBI had said Pais was “armed and dangerous” and believed to be somewhere in Colorado after making “credible” threats days before the 20th anniversary of the Columbine High massacre that ushered in the modern era of mass shootings at U.S. schools.

Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Shrader confirmed at an afternoon news conference that Pais was dead.

Local media reports said Pais took an Uber to an area near the Echo Lake Lodge at the base of Mount Evans in Clear Creek County, Colo. The station said that police officers rushed to the scene after reports of a naked woman with a gun running through the woods.

The Denver office of the FBI tweeted: “THERE IS NO LONGER A THREAT TO THE COMMUNITY.” Schools in Denver were shut down Wednesday because of the threats.

Pais lived in Surfside, a small oceanside community just north of Miami Beach. Her parents reported her missing

Sol Pais (Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office/TNS)

on Monday night. Surfside officers turned the case over to Miami Beach police detectives, who found her “deeply disturbed” online postings and immediately notified the FBI, according to a law enforcement source.

Agents and officers quickly realized Pais had boarded a plane to Colorado, and purchased a weapon there. Miami FBI agents on Tuesday night visited Pais’ home. A man who answered the door identified himself as her father and said he lost contact with Pais the night before.

“I think maybe she’s got a mental problem,” he said. “I think she’s gonna be OK.” On Wednesday afternoon,

as news spread of Pais’ death, Surfside officers cordoned off the home as Police Chief Julio Yero and FBI agents were inside with the teen’s family.

The threats came four days before the 20th anniversary of the Columbine High April 20, 1999, mass shooting. Two seniors at the school, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, opened fire and killed 13 people — 12 students and one teacher — before killing themselves.

Security around Colorado schools had already been ramped up this year because of the constant stream of threats related to the anniversary. The Columbine killers have become a much-studied fascination for some disaf-

fected teenagers and others who go on to become mass shooters.

Pais may have been one of them. Somebody who identified herself as “Sol Pais” ran an online blog replete with journal entries dripping with angst and drawings of guns. “I am the face of loneliness and misery,” the blog says.

She may also be behind a series of posts on the National Gun Forum, using the same screen name as the blog. In the posts, the person asked for advice on how to buy a shotgun in Colorado. “The problem is i have no friends in FL who are into guns like me so it’s not as fun having to do all of this alone,” according to one post.

Millions in Notre Dame donations pour in as France focuses on rebuilding Aurelien Breeden The New York Times News Service

PARIS — Days after a fire tore through Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France on Wednesday started to focus on reconstruction, with President Emmanuel Macron having set the ambitious goal of rebuilding the Gothic landmark within five years and donations pouring in from around the world.

Prime Minister Édouard Philippe said after a special Cabinet meeting Wednesday that the government would organize an international architecture competition to design a spire after Notre Dame’s own collapsed in the fire Monday and crashed through the cathedral’s vaulted ceiling. But he said it remained uncertain whether the lost spire — which was added in the 19th century — would be replaced.

He added that the five-year goal to rebuild the cathedral was “obviously an immense challenge,” but also “a historical responsibility.”

Individuals, companies and institutions have so far donated or pledged 845 million euros, about $950 million, to rebuild the damaged cathedral, which has stood for more than eight centuries. On Tuesday, the government set up an online portal pointing to four official organizations and foundations that are collecting donations.

“Each euro that is given for the reconstruction of Notre Dame will be used for that, and nothing else,” Philippe said.

Next week, the government was scheduled to present a bill to give the donation campaign a legal framework, which would ensure security and transparency, Philippe said.

The legislation would also create tax deductions for French citizens who contribute less than 1,000 euros to the reconstruction effort.

Philippe also said that the relics and artwork that firefighters had scrambled to save from the fire were transferred to the Louvre museum from Paris City Hall, where emergency workers had placed them for safekeeping in the immediate aftermath of the fire.

Paris firefighters also said artwork that remained in the cathedral appeared surprisingly well-preserved.

At 6:50 p.m. Wednesday, cathedrals in France tolled their bells in honor of the burned cathedral, a calamity that has shocked much of the world. Paris authorities also announced that a ceremony would be organized Thursday, during which two large banners paying tribute to Notre Dame and to those who fought to save it would be hung from City Hall, and excerpts from Victor Hugo’s “Notre-Dame de Paris” would be read.

Investigators were questioning witnesses to determine the origin of the fire, which caused minor injuries to three people. Rémy Heitz, the Paris prosecutor, said that the investigation would be “long” and “complex.” But it was clear that little was in place to prevent the flames from coursing through the cathedral’s attic, a lattice of ancient wooden beams underneath a lead-covered roof.

Firefighters said at a news conference Wednesday that they had always known the lattice was at risk. Philippe Demay, a deputy fire chief who was among the first to arrive at the cathedral Monday, said that firefighters knew “perfectly well” that if the roof caught fire, “it was going to be very complicated to stop.”

Demay said that he had arrived at the site in less than three minutes, as the area around the cathedral was bustling with thousands of tourists,

and that he and his colleagues had to quickly trudge up the cathedral’s narrow spiraling staircases with heavy equipment in tow — an exercise they had done many times before.

Myriam Chudzinski, another firefighter, said that once they got to the top, it was clear that the flames had already spread.

“It was very, very hot; we had to back up,” she said.

On Wednesday, police continued to block access to the cathedral and to the area around it on the Île de la Cité, one of the islands in the Seine that lie at the heart of Paris. Tourists and Parisians alike pressed against police barricades along the river, snapping pictures of the beloved symbol of the city, now roofless, and pointing to a cluster of firefighters atop one of the cathedral’s towers.

Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the most recognizable structures in Paris, lost most its roof, large parts of its interior stone ceiling and some interior furnishings to the fire. Paris firefighters noted that the whole cathedral came close to being destroyed.

José Vaz de Matos, a firefighter who works with the Culture Ministry to help secure buildings and artwork, said that if the fire had reached the cathedral’s towers and the wooden belfries inside them, a catastrophic chain reaction would have ensued because

A busy week of visits and activities

By Abby and Gabby For Columbia-Greene Media

PRATTSVILLE — Lots of news so let’s get to it.

Tim and Darcy Brand and Diana and Arnold Jaeger traveled to Arlington, Virginia, last weekend. While there, they went to Washington, DC and visited the National Museum of African American History and Culture, took in the beauty of the cherry blossoms and walked miles and miles visiting the Vietnam and Korean Memorials, Lincoln Memorial and many others. While at the Vietnam Memorial, a volunteer presented Arnold (a Vietnam vet) with a commemorative medal and “on behalf of a grateful nation, thanked him for his service and welcomed

him home.” Any veteran of that war will understand how meaningful that was.

Diana, Arnold and Ashleigh Jaeger, Darcy and Tim Brand, and Virginia Kennedy visited Dave Truesdell (Mr. T) at the Mountainside Residential Center in Margaretville Sunday. If any of Dave’s friends are ever near Margaretville, stop by to see him. He loves visitors and misses seeing his long-time friends. Diana and Arnold also visited their Aunt Eva Irwin in Little West Kill and previous Prattsville resident Helga Eisenlauer at the nursing home in Catskill. The little things mean so much to those who are housebound and a visit is no little thing to them.

Laurel Irwin Van Aken heard from her daughter Corrine in Kansas on Thursday morning and it was snowing.

Her son Joshua of Sunbury, Ohio let Laurel know he would be attending the Masters Golf Tournament as a spectator.

Later on he will be traveling to Ireland to see another golf tournament. On her late dad’s birthday, April 5, Laurel, her mom Eva and other family members traveled to Saratoga to the Gerald B. Solomon National Cemetery to visit Don’s burial site, Plot 14 726. Don will not be forgotten.

Update: Wag stands for Wagoner (Herbert Bergfeld) military rank WW I. Have traced his granddaughter in Florida. Have not had a reply.

Thanks to Legionnaire Gary Koopman, Cairo, Danny Peckham, Karen Cucinello and Patricia Morrow, Windham Historian.

We were in contact with Rich (Rapp) Rappleyea and wife Chris, now of Florida.

They are enjoying the warmer climes all year round and have become very social, enjoying the many events and joining the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary there. They said the organizations really gives them a lot to do. Chris requested that cards be sent to her son, Michael, or small food items — candies that will hold up in shipping and temperature extremes, cookies, toothpaste, etc. His address is gse2 Courtenay

emg/em04, USS William P. Lawrence, (DDE 110), Unit 100225 Box 1, fpoAP 96671.

The American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327 is collecting the items listed above and will be glad to mail them as a CARE package to him under the auspices of member Amelia Osborn. Amelia, Tom and Nicole (also Auxiliary member) have a lot of expertise in this matter, shipping CARE packages for the Auxiliary to other active military personnel suggested by daughter Seabee Bridget Osborn. Thank you all for doing more than your part to watch over our military.

The Auxiliary in the meantime has collected many food items to be delivered to the VA

Food Pantry, thanks to Carol Landers, Jeff and Joanne, the Krausses, and the Gurleys.

On March 31 Diane Eklund, Jan Cammer, Deb Carman, Liz McPhail and Linda Hasentaub went to the Otesaga, Cooperstown to take part in the Epicurean Food and Wine Tasting.

Remembering: The dress factory in Tannersville

By Lula Anderson For Columbia-Greene Media

Boy, I didn’t get much sleep last night (Sunday)!

The wind was horrendous. I was so worried about the trees by my driveway, and all of the things I have outside. The rain poured down and I was worried about the basement and backyard flooding. I took an Advil, I wrote articles in my head, I counted sheep, I prayed. I still could not sleep. When I woke this morning I quick checked on everything and all is well. As of now I am fine, I have electricity, internet, and am dry except for a little pond in the backyard.

Last week, Vicky Beckmann woke up to find several deer eating by her back porch. Hmm, why are they there? Albin went to fill the birdfeeders and the

seed was not in its usual place.

Vicky had had her kitchen painted, and her painter put her bucket of bird seed on the porch, but what happened to the bucket? It was gone. Albin later found it in the woods, top off, empty. Now we know what that means, so Albin set up his game camera but the first two nights, nothing. He wound up sitting, watching out the door.

The thief was a HUGE bear, searching for goodies.

Big announcement! Frannie, Noreen, Opal, Linda! Are you all ready? The news that we’ve been waiting for. Jewett Presbyterian Church announces the date for the first Rummage Sale of Spring 2019 on May 3 and May 4. Donations will be accepted at the church hall starting on Monday, April 22. Mark

your calendars now.

Thanks to all who participated in any way for WAJPL Golden Age Club’s Chinese Auction held last Saturday. Donations for the main table and the white elephant table were coming in since last year, but in the past few weeks, Val Chereck and Donny Speenburgh have been canvassing many local businesses for gift certificates. Many, many thanks to all for their donations. This is the only fundraiser we have to supplement the generous support from our 5 sponsoring towns. Thank you.

The date has been set for the WAJPL Spring luncheon.

It will be held on May 30 at the Thompson House. More info next week, mark your calendars today.

Greetings to all from Wally

Thompson in Greene Meadows. He is doing well and is very happy in his new home. He has a cell phone, but is still not used to it, so if you do call him, don’t expect him to answer for awhile.

The Ashland Fire Department has announced its yearly fundraising schedule. The first event will be its annual Roast Beef Dinner on April 27. Takeouts start at 4:30 p.m. and seating from 5-7 p.m. Price for the dinner is $12, adults; $6 ages 5-12. No advance dinner sales.

The annual golf tournament to benefit the Westchester Burn Unit will be at the Windham Country Club on Aug. 16.

Thanks for your support.

AS I REMEMBER IT This week’s memories are from Ellouise Cole.

Back in the ‘50s, there was a dress factory in Tannersville that was in a big building across from the Tannersville Methodist Church. It was operated by a man by the name of Murray Perlman. After the dresses were made and pressed, they were shipped to New York City to be sold.

There were machine operators, hand sewers, trimmers and pressers. The workers came from as far away as Gilboa, all for the extravagant wage of 75 cents an hour. The incentive was piece work. If you were lucky, and skilled, you could earn a little extra on a good day.

The dress factory employed on average 25 workers, mostly women. A wonderful source of income for the Mountain Top families. There are only about

five of my former co-workers that are still living. One lady noted that she would stop at the Victory Store in Hunter and could feed a family of seven on a paycheck of $15.

Murray Perlman’s life ended when his glider went down in the Hudson River.

The dress factory closed its doors in 1977.

Bill Mead does not remember the factory in Tannersville, but a challenge to my readers: Do you remember a factory in Hunter, which closed down after the end of WWII in the 1940s? Any information, pictures, etc., are always appreciated.

Do you have a memory to share? Thank you, Ellouise, for yours. — Lula

The Golden Agers went on a very pleasant trip to the Log Cabin in Holyoke, Massachusetts, on April 9. They had a delicious lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the show of country music impersonators. I hear Johnny Cash was quite the hit.

A few from this area who went on the bus trip were Betty Hapeman, Rose Williams, Ellouise Cole, Lorraine Banks, Peggy Rappleyea and Alfred Truesdell. There were 57 attending from the Golden Agers.

Ashland Historian Samerna Rion, Hunter Historian Dede Terns-Thorpe, Lexington Historian Mary Palazzolo, Deputy Lexington Historian Chris Dwon and Regina Kazman

and Lorna Puleo of the Windham Historical Society, met April 11. They enjoyed meeting each other and the time together sharing information, upcoming events and ideas.

Afterwards, a light foraged lunch prepared by Elodie Eid

and Bryana Shevlin will be served back at the West KillLexington Community Hall.

Beverages will include beer from West Kill brewing and a non-alcoholic Kombucha.

Veteran From A1

’70s.”

In the hospital, Romeo received regular doses of morphine, and he said he developed a drug and alcohol problem.

While in the military he said he “showed signs of bad behavior” and was sent to a military prison in New Jersey. He received a dishonorable discharge, which was later lifted.

At that point, Romeo had post-traumatic stress disorder.

It was the beginning of a lifelong challenge.

The war would affect Romeo’s life years after he left the battlefield, not only with PTSD, but it was later found that Romeo had been exposed to Agent Orange. The highly toxic herbicide was used by the U.S. military against the Vietnamese, but American soldiers were also contaminated. Agent Orange exposure led to birth defects in Romeo’s children.

All this contributed to Romeo’s PTSD. To this day, he suffers from recurring nightmares.

Romeo said if there is one

is through these efforts we will continue to ensure the safe operations of our facilities, as well as the safety of our staff, incarcerated individuals and surrounding communities.”

Mailey declined to comment further on the incident, citing the ongoing investigation.

“The inmate faces disciplinary charges and an investigation into who mailed the package and from what location is underway,” according to NYSCOPBA. NYSCOPBA Mid-Hudson Region Vice President Michael

Fire From A1

of New York Museum of Firefighting at 117 Harry Howard Ave. On Wednesday, the city led

by Mayor Rick Rector, honored the fire department for more than two centuries of service to the city with a special proclamation read aloud on the steps of City Hall.

“On this day 225 years ago, the first fire company in Hudson was constituted by an act of the Common Council which appointed 19 firemen to superintend the fire engine number one,” Rector read from the proclamation.

Under the motto, “Pride is our pay,” the department’s 80 active members regularly suit up to answer the fire alarm, anytime — day or night. Last year, the city’s bravest volunteers answered 425 calls – the highest number in 15 years – averaging more than call a day.

“It is definitely something to be proud of,” said Hudson Fire Chief Anthony DeMarco Jr. “It’s amazing we can still operate a city fire department today with all volunteers. We still have enough interest and people are still walking through the door to join.”

But departments in Columbia County and across the country are experiencing historically low volunteer rates, owing in part to the increasing training demands and number of two-income households, DeMarco said.

“The thing that most impresses me about our firefighters is that they set a standard for volunteerism in this city,” Common Council President Thomas DePietro said to the crowd gathered outside City Hall. “And you, the firemen and women of Hudson, have set a high standard.”

Before the city’s first official firefighters, city residents were asked to keep two or three leather buckets on hand which would be used to form a bucket brigade, or chain of civilians, in case of a fire, according to history collected by the FASNY

message the students should take away from his presentation, it is that many people who have undergone trauma of any kind develop PTSD, and that it is important to speak with someone about their feelings.

For some veterans with PTSD, it has led to suicide or drug or alcohol abuse. Contemporary veterans are committing suicide “at a rate of 22 a day,” he said.

Romeo has turned his own feelings of trauma into a creative outlet.

“I thought about all of my experiences and I began to doodle. I began to create pictures.

The motion of my hand began to get my story out and I began to make art,” Romeo said.

He found that other veterans with PTSD also used art as a stress outlet, and he started collecting their works and traveling around the country. Several of those pieces were on display at the Hudson presentation.

“We were documenting a generation of men who were shunned by society,” he said.

“We were telling the story of PTSD.” One of the paintings on display portrayed the feelings of a

former soldier who had a very specific job, and its impact on his later life.

“Somebody has to make sure all the body parts go in the right bag,” Romeo said. “This is one of the ugly sides of war no one wants to talk about. One day he turned over a dead soldier lying on his stomach and the soldier had died looking at his daughter’s picture.”

Another painting showed the artist’s traumatic reaction to the war many years after its conclusion.

“Sometimes it’s easier to be the dead person than the one who has to pick up the pieces and move on,” Romeo said.

He is bringing his story

around the country, to schools, American Legion halls, wherever people will listen, he said.

Mental illness is an important issue that continues to have a stigma attached to it, Romeo said, but a light has to be shined on it for people to heal.

“This was incredibly relevant and it came from the heart,” Principal Antonio Abitabile said following the presentation.

“It was very meaningful to the students and families. He talked about an issue that is often overlooked, so I am glad he is bringing PTSD within the military into the public.”

Assemblywoman Didi Barrett, D-106, attended the presentation and said Romeo had

Mazzella said the incident demonstrates the need for a statewide vendor program.

“This is the second sizable seizure of synthetic marijuana in less than a month,” Mazzella said. “Officers at Green Haven Correctional Facility found over a pound of K2 in a mailed package at the end of March and now we have a similar situation at Greene. Despite the efforts of our members, not all contraband can be discovered. This is another prime example of why a secure vendor program is needed in each facility.”

Secure vendor programs allow inmates and inmate families to order food or other items through select vendors, said James Miller, spokesman for NYSCOPA.

The ordered items are packed “blind” by employees of the vendor, meaning that the person packing the items would have no idea who was receiving the items, because the orders are placed using a number system, Mazzella said.

“There was a brief pilot program in three facilities, which included Greene, but that was suspended based on complaints from inmate families,” Miller said.

The pilot took place in early 2018.

A vendor program would make prisons less susceptible to contraband, Mazzella said.

“It would significantly decrease the amount of contraband that makes its way into facilities, yet DOCCS has yet to

implement the program despite the historic levels of contraband that are being seized every day,” Mazzella said. “There is simply no legitimate reason to not have a vendor program that will be secure and create a safer work environment for our members.

Until the state takes the necessary steps to change their policies, contraband will continue to be problematic. “ State Sen. George Amedore Jr., R-46, voiced his support for the vendor program.

“Secure vendor programs can help keep contraband out of prisons, making them safer, as well as offering more protection for our corrections officers who do a very difficult job every day,” Amedore said.

Museum of Firefighting. The number of fireplaces in each home determined the number of buckets each homeowner was required to have.

Residents banded together and distributed a subscription paper to raise money for a fire engine in 1793 after a fire destroyed the Hudson Gazette and the bookstore of Ashbel Stoddard. The Common Council formed a committee to purchase the fire engine.

J.W. Edmonds Hose Co., first known as Engine Co. No. 1, was organized 225 years ago on April 17, 1794. The department was named for prominent Hudson lawyer and judge John Edmonds, the first chief engineer to be elected by the members of the Hudson Fire Department.

Later in November 1794, the second fire company, Engine Co. No. 2, now H.W. Rogers Hose Co., was formed.

Also in 1794, the Common

Council purchased two ladders, one 30 feet and the other 25 feet, and appointed a bellman who was in charge of sounding the alarm when a fire hit by ringing the bell at the First Presbyterian Church at 369 Warren St., according to FASNY. The Common Council purchased hooks, chains, poles, ropes and additional ladders in 1799 to help firefighters carry out their duties, according to FASNY.

many valuable messages to share with the students.

“It’s important to understand service and the importance of service,” Barrett said in an interview prior to Romeo’s presentation. “It’s important to understand mental health issues. There is way too much stigma attached to mental health in this country and in the world, and I think Frank will show the face of that in a way that will hopefully make young people understand that it is something that is more common and needs to be addressed in a holistic way.”

Bob Honey, a 28-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, has been providing logistical support for Romeo as he makes his way across New York state. He said Romeo’s message is a valuable one.

“First and foremost, it is important to bring awareness to PTSD and the problems our veterans are suffering with, including veterans’ homelessness and suicide, and not being able to take advantage of the benefits that are being given by the government during their active duty,” Honey said. “We need to educate the younger generation

about the potential effects of combat and what the soldiers go through.”

Several students in the audience have signed up to join the various branches of the military and found the talk valuable.

Kyle Ublacker is a senior who will attend the U.S. Air Force Academy after graduation.

“I signed up to honor my grandfather, and growing up in the age of 9/11 I wanted to do something for my country and help protect it,” Ublacker said, adding that he will take Romeo’s talk with him. “I will definitely hold this in my heart going into the service and know to look out for my friends, and for myself. I don’t want to fall into that trap and I don’t want anyone else falling into it.”

Rowan Meyers, a senior, joined the U.S. Army.

“I joined to not only protect my country but to protect my loved ones and the people so they can live life without being threatened,” Meyers said.

“PTSD is a thing that is not too talked about and it should be brought up and spoken about more for the people who are really suffering from it.”

R-102, agreed.

“The integrity of our prisons and protecting our correction officers in their line of duty is always a priority of mine,” Tague said. “The sheer volume of contraband flowing into some of these prisons is incredibly dangerous, not just for the correction officers but for the inmates as well. By implementing this program we can ensure that inmates and correction officers have greater security.”

Greene County Sheriff Greg

Seeley thinks the program could be effective if properly handled.

“If the vendors are checked out thoroughly, it could definitely help,” Seeley said. “We have to make sure what they are selling is legit and can’t be tampered with.”

Seeley also recommended going back to the basics.

“Any package or letter should be checked thoroughly,” he said. “Visitors should be subjected to searches.”

CHICAGO — Every coach in the business gave Porter Moser the same advice: Take the job. Sign the juicy contract. Play in the Garden. Move up to the Big East.

But they don’t know Moser as well as Moser knows himself.

“You can be rich without the dollar signs,” Moser told the Tribune on Tuesday afternoon after turning down an eight-year deal from St. John’s worth a reported $17 million to $18 million to remain at Loyola Chicago.

George Bailey from “It’s a Wonderful Life” needed a long stretch to realize how good he had it. Moser needed less than 24 hours.

“Their AD was great, a Duke guy,” Moser said of being courted by St. John’s athletic director Mike Cragg. “It’s the Big East and Madison Square Garden and all that.

“But when you step back and look ... I’ve put so much blood, sweat and tears into this program. We have a new practice facility. I got two commitments Sunday morning, and the moms were hugging me. And then I’m calling three days later to tell them (I’m leaving)? I can’t do that.”

Moser turned down UNLV after the season. And now he’s rejecting St. John’s, even though he has received no assurance he’ll get a raise from his approximate $900,000-a-year salary.

The Ramblers have won back-to-back

JOHN J. KIM/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Loyola Ramblers head coach Porter Moser enters the stadium for the season opener against the UMKC Kangaroos at Gentile Arena in Chicago on November 6, 2018.

Missouri Valley titles under Moser and stunned America by going to the Final Four in 2018.

Moser wants more.

“So many people in the profession said: ‘Are you kidding me? You can’t win at Loyola.’

It started pissing me off,” he said. “It’s almost like reverse psychology.”

Moser’s ties are in the Midwest. He grew up in Naperville, starred at Benet Academy high school and then Creighton in Omaha, Neb.

After stops at Illinois State and under Rick Majerus at Saint Louis, he took over at Loyola.

The school was patient with him, and now he is rewarding the Ramblers.

His terrific three-man 2019 recruiting class at Loyola — all three-star prospects and featuring Brother Rice guard Marquise Kennedy, who has pro potential — hail from Illinois (Kennedy and Naperville North forward Tom Welch) and Indiana (La Lumiere guard Paxson Wojcik).

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

A marquee rivalry feels more like an undercard Tyler Kepner The New York Times News Service

The New York Yankees fielded another spring training road-game lineup Tuesday, the kind that would make pinstripes-wearing fans in West Palm Beach sigh. No Giancarlo Stanton, no Gary Sanchez, no Miguel Andujar, no Aaron Hicks, no Greg Bird? And we paid how much for these tickets?

Alas, this is the Yankees’ reality now, flailing in an injury sinkhole that seems to claim another player daily. Bird, the first baseman who has not been hitting much, went down Tuesday with a plantar fascial tear.

The Yankees have 12 players — nearly half a team — on the injured list.

“It’s a freakish thing,” said reliever Dellin Betances, who is out with a shoulder injury. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Freakier still was that the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox both lugged losing records into their first meeting of the season. Tuesday was the first time in 27 years that the rivals were both under .500 when playing each

other at least 15 games into a season.

After an 8-0 victory over the visiting Sox on Tuesday, the Yankees were 7-9, while their rivals’ record dropped to 6-12.

The Yankees, at least, can blame injuries. The Red Sox cannot. Only one player from their 2018 World Series roster, utility man Brock Holt — who has a scratched cornea — is on the injured list. They have just been bad — and neither team has yet faced the plucky Tampa Bay Rays, who had the majors’ best record, 12-4, through Monday.

“We’re healthy and we’re not playing good baseball,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “We’ve been inconsistent in every aspect of the game: pitching, offense, defense, base running. It’s on us to clean it up and start playing better.

“When we do that, we’re one of the best teams in the big leagues, if not the best. But at the same time, right now, we’re not. We know where we’re at, we know the way we’ve been playing, and we know the things that we have to get better at. And it’s pretty simple: Get better at everything.”

Boston’s starting rotation went into Tuesday’s series opener with a 7.18 ERA, the highest in the majors.

The Yankees’ mark was a respectable 4.33 — 15th overall — despite injuries to Luis Severino and sluggish performances by J.A. Happ and James Paxton.

On Tuesday, though, Paxton faced off against Chris Sale and prevailed, holding the Red Sox to two hits over eight innings and striking out 12.

Sale, whose biting slider and mid90s fastball had deserted him in his first three starts, and catcher Sandy Leon were paired Tuesday for the 50th time in their careers. Leon generally coaxes the best from Sale, who (before Tuesday’s defeat) had a 2.42 ERA when they worked together, but a weak bat kept Leon off the roster at the start of the season.

The Red Sox brought him back Tuesday, designating catcher Blake Swihart for assignment. Swihart is a better hitter than Leon but a worse defender, and the Red Sox consider catcher a defense-first position.

Their catchers had a .194 average and a .533 on-base plus slugging

Dave Dombrowski, Boston’s president of baseball operations, recalled a team he worked for early in his career — the 1983 Chicago White Sox — that started 16-24 but wound up a runaway division winner. The bench coach Ron Roenicke reminded Dombrowski that a team he had coached, the 2002 Anaheim Angels, started 6-14 but won the World Series.

“You’ve got to shake out of it,” Dombrowski said. “You just can’t keep playing like this, and I don’t think we will. But am I concerned?

Yeah, I’m concerned until we start playing better.”

There is no reason to think that a healthy Red Sox roster will continue to struggle. The Yankees are clearly more concerning, because of the injury onslaught.

“Got to roll with it,” manager Aaron Boone said. “I’m sure you guys are a little sick of me saying, ‘Next man up,’ but it truly is the case. We’ve got to get guys well and get them the proper treatment to try and get them back as quickly as possible. But it’s an opportunity for somebody else to come up and impact our club.”

percentage last season, the worst marks for any world champion in the live-ball era.

“I wasn’t killing it in Triple A,” said Leon, who was 3 for 25 with Class AAA Pawtucket. “I think my strong point is behind the plate.”

Last season, the Red Sox could easily hide a light-hitting catcher; they led the majors in batting average (.268), on-base percentage (.339) and slugging percentage (.453) while scoring the most runs. Through Monday of this season, they were hitting .236/.309/.383 — worse than the Yankees in every category — while ranking 19th in runs per game, at 4.35.

Mookie Betts, who won the American League’s Most Valuable Player Award last season, was hitting just .222. J.D. Martinez, who led the majors in RBIs and total bases last season, was hitting an unsatisfying .344.

“I’m finding ways to get hits, but I’m a guy who drives the ball,” said Martinez, who had just three home runs. “Until I really start doing that, I don’t feel like I’m there.”

Plenty of good teams start poorly.

Wife unloads on husband at day’s end My wife and I have demanding jobs neither of us is crazy about. I sell insurance; she manages a hairdressing salon for a large company.

At day’s end I keep the events of the day — good or bad — to myself. I have heard the saying “Don’t bring your family problems to work, DEAR ABBY and don’t bring your work problems home,” so I don’t carry any “baggage” home with me. If something positive happens, I may mention it.

How do I get my wife to leave her work problems at work? It’s the last thing I want to hear about. I would like to have an enjoyable evening or weekend with her and not have to hear about HER work problems.

Baggage-Free

JEANNE PHILLIPS

There is another saying that may help you to be more understanding: A joy shared is twice a joy; a burden shared is half a burden. If your wife can’t discuss her frustrations with you, who else can she safely confide in? A word to the wise: Women often just need someone to LISTEN. Because this is getting to you to the point that you would write to me about it, rather than offer suggestions or opinions, it’s time you tell her exactly what you have conveyed to me. Maybe you can agree on a time when these issues can be discussed — once you both have decompressed from your demanding jobs.

This is my suggestion for “Unfulfilled Grandma in Minnesota” (Jan. 15), the senior citizen looking to help young children. Schools

need help! Contact the local elementary school. Speak with the principal.

My story: Our youngest daughter sent me a text. She indicated my grandson’s kindergarten teacher was asking for help in the computer lab. Being a retired geek, I showed up the following Thursday, working for just an hour. After three weeks the teacher asked me if I would be willing to help her in the classroom for four hours every Thursday. I agreed. It didn’t take my grandson long to figure out he got faster help if he addressed me as “Mr. ——.”

After three months, I told my wife it was the best four hours of my week. Without blinking an eye, she smiled and said, “You know, it’s the best four hours of MY week, too!” Wait?

WHAT? Fulfilled Grandpa Out West Thank you for writing. Other readers also suggested that volunteering at a school can be a rewarding way for seniors to put their time to good use and help children. I heard from a “camp grandma” who volunteers at a YMCA summer camp, another who is a reader for 3- and 4-yearolds at a Head Start program, a child care worker in the nursery at a church, and a man who helps to make the children of Afghan refugees feel welcome in their new country through the No One Left Behind organization. Thank you all for these important acts of service, and for sharing the information with me and my readers.

Anaphylaxis usually happens within a few minutes I heard recently someone say that they had an anaphylactic reaction to a vaccine many hours after administration, say, 14 hours later. Can anaphylaxis actually happen that long after exposure to an allergen? This is a general question, not vaccine-specific. I’ve always been under the impression a reaction like this happens much TO YOUR more quickly.

GOOD HEALTH

DR. KEITH ROACH

Anaphylaxis is a severe, lifethreatening allergic reaction. It is uncommon. Less than 2 percent of people will experience anaphylaxis in their lifetime. It can happen because of medications, such as allergy immunotherapy, and less frequently because of other medications, especially those that are injected, including vaccines. It also can happen due to foods, including legumes (peanuts) and tree nuts.

Anaphylaxis usually comes on within a few minutes, rarely up to an hour after exposure. It is treated with epinephrine (also called adrenaline) to counteract the circulatory system collapse that is part of the reaction.

Approximately 20 percent of people with anaphylaxis will have a second set of symptoms after the initial symptoms are successfully treated.

These can be prevented, to some extent, with the use of steroids, which is why anyone with anaphylaxis needs immediate evaluation, even if they successfully treated themselves with an injection of epinephrine. The second set of symptoms comes most frequently within three hours, but

cases up to 10 hours later have been described.

I just found out that the internist I have been going to for 40 years does not believe in the flu vaccine. He thinks it contains multiple heavy metals. Can you tell me how to find out which heavy metals the flu vaccines contain? Equally important: Are the heavy metal concentrations bad for humans?

Flu vaccines in multidose vials contain the preservative thiomersal. Thiomersal does contain mercury — in the way that table salt contains the inflammable metal sodium and the deadly gas chlorine — but it’s in an amount that is so small (about 0.02 milligrams), you need not worry about it. The body has ways of removing ethyl mercury (the form in thiomersal). There are no other heavy metals in the influenza vaccine. You may request a single-dose vial dose, which does not need or contain any preservative. You can find out the ingredients from the manufacturer’s package insert.

An internist should know enough chemistry to be able to understand and explain the difference between various forms of mercury, as well as relaying that it’s the size of the dose that makes the poison. I have significant concerns about, and could not recommend, a physician who could make that kind of error. After 40 years, you will have to make the choice whether you want to continue with him.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are something of a showoff, and you are never happier than when you are able to work hard at something that you are very good at and that you are confident will attract a good deal of attention from those around you. To say that you like being in the spotlight is an understatement; it can be said, in fact, that you carry your own spotlight with you wherever you go, because you are so adept at winning the focus of others. You have many talents, but your true gift is your ability to shine when all eyes are on you.

On at least two occasions in your life you will decide that it isn’t the time to be front and center attracting attention, but it may prove quite difficult to avoid being so. You are likely to discover that only through dramatic change that springs from deep within will you be able to free yourself from the trap of widespread attention.

Also born on this date are: Kourtney Kardashian, reality TV star; David Tennant, actor; Moises Arias, actor; Melissa Joan Hart, actress; America Ferrera, actress; Conan O’Brien, comedian and late-night host; James Woods, actor; Haley Mills, actress.

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

FRIDAY, APRIL 19 ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’ll be able to gain the advantage over a rival today, but you may first have to engage in a little deception, but that will be forgiven.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You’ll want to keep things friendly today, even as the competition heats up. Follow the rules, be a good sport and

learn from any setbacks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You are in little danger today of losing your way. Indeed, you are so secure right now that you can lead others out of some serious peril.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Someone may try to shut you down today, but you’re not having any of it. You can remain calm and have your say at exactly the right moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Take care that you aren’t being so dramatic about what’s happening to you today that others question if there is anything at stake.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re waiting for things to settle down a bit before taking advantage of an opportunity that will wait until you’re ready to act.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You feel that you’re headed in the right direction, but someone offers an alternative that proves more attractive than you might have thought.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You’re likely to learn something new today that you can put to immediate use to advance a cause you’ve only recently adopted.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Timing is everything today, and there are times in which you’ll want to lie low and wait until the stars have aligned things in your favor.

‘Hotel Mumbai’ marred by disaster-film cliches

By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

“Hotel Mumbai,” which is based on the true events of a 2008 terror attack, isn’t meant to be a disaster epic, but that is how it is conceived and framed.

The movie chronicles the threeday siege of the lavish Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai by Pakistani militants who roamed through the city opening fire on innocent bystanders. More than 160 people were killed and many more were wounded.

The gruesome massacres at the hotel, known as the Taj, are the movie’s only real feats. The plot and characters are retreads from disaster movies such as “The Poseidon Adventure” and “The Towering Inferno.” What’s missing is the hokey fun, which is impossible from a movie that recreates death and suffering that took place in reality.

When a movie is sold as popular entertainment, viewers want action, pyrotechnics and nerve-tingling thrills, but when it deals with horrors that viewers know in advance happened to real people, the movie becomes an endurance test. And when a movie that runs two hours feels like four, viewers are in for an ordeal.

COURTESY OF TIFF

Dev Patel in “Hotel Mumbai.”

“Hotel Mumbai” guns down dozens of innocent people as realistically as the special effects department can, then shows footage of the real survivors smiling at a ribbon-cutting and reopening of the Taj during the end credits. The movie is filled with composite or invented characters, and they’re introduced in the laughably pedestrian way the main characters were introduced in those vintage 1970s disaster movies.

The nominal heroes are an American architect (Armie

Hammer), who arrives with his wife and baby on a business trip, and a young Hindu waiter (Dev Patel), who is upbraided by his boss for not having the proper footwear. Had he returned home to get the correct shoes, he might have missed the whole siege.

The Taj — actually a massive replica built in Australia where most of “Mumbai” was filmed — is a maze of corridors, suites, clubs and VIP chambers, but the director, Anthony Maras, lacks the visual precision to make the

meticulously constructed sets stick in our minds. “United 93,” from Paul Greengrass, solved this problem because it unfolded in a single setting, which gave the movie a tense unity of focus.

Unintentional giggles erupt during a knuckleheaded scene where a guest, an American woman, hysterically demands that the waiter remove his turban and accuses the architect’s pretty wife, who is Muslim, of conspiring in the attack. The scene is so cynically staged — all the hysterical woman needs is “racist” written across her forehead — that it seems like a distress call from the filmmakers.

There’s a frightening, primitive power in sudden death by gunfire, and the movie captures it in an early scene as two militants arm themselves in a train station lavatory, walk calmly past a distracted attendant, step out into the station and, out of camera range, mow down dozens of screaming travelers.

But with all these hideous, bloody deaths, how can we take seriously the fictitious character of Vasili (Jason Isaacs), a former Russian operative who flirts with the architect’s wife as all hell breaks loose and fancies himself a ladies’ man?

CALENDAR LISTINGS TSL Movies April 18 - April 24 n Buddy — In this portrait of six service dogs and their owners, documentary ilmmaker Heddy Honigmann explores the close bond between animal and human. Honigmann questions the owners in her characteristic way – respectfully and with genuine concern rooted in a deep trust – about what the animals mean to them. Buddy is an ode to the ighting spirit of the main characters and a loving portrait of the bond between human and dog.

In Dutch with subtitles. 2018.

1h26m. n Diane — For Diane (Mary Kay Place), everyone else comes irst.

Generous but with little patience for self-pity, she spends her days checking in on sick friends, volunteering at her local soup kitchen, and trying to save her drug-addicted adult son (Jake Lacy) from himself. But beneath her relentless routine of self-sacriice, Diane is ighting a desperate internal battle, haunted by a past she can’t forget and which threatens to tear her chaotic world apart. Built around a fearless performance from Mary Kay Place, the narrative debut from Kent Jones is a profound, beautifully human portrait of a woman riling through the wreckage of her life in search of redemption. 2019. 1h36m. n The Baker’s Wife — The warmth and wit of celebrated playwright turned auteur Marcel Pagnol (The Marseille Trilogy) shines through in this enchanting slice-of-life comedy. Returning once again to the Provençal countryside he knew intimately, Pagnol draws a vivid portrait of a close-knit village where the marital woes of a sweetly deluded baker (the inimitable Raimu, heralded by no less than Orson Welles as “the greatest actor who ever lived”) snowball into a scandal that engulfs the entire town.

Marrying the director’s abiding concern for the experiences of ordinary people with an understated but superbly judged visual style, The Baker’s Wife is wonderfully droll and perceptive in its nuanced treat-ment of the complexities of human relationships.

In French with English subtitles.

1938. 2h13m. n Suburban Birds — A striking debut from China’s Qiu Sheng.

A tantalizing mystery and a bittersweet coming-of-age comedy rolled into one. Hao is part of a team of young engineers called in to investigate a series of craters that have opened up on the edge of the city. As he and his team survey the subsiding area, another story is taking place in the same suburban landscape. A younger boy, also named Hao, spends long afternoons playing with friends and making mischief until, oneby-one, his playmates start to disappear. As these parallel stories unfold, the connections between them proliferate and grow stranger. With virtuosic assurance, Qiu employs distinct styles for each of the two narrative strands and unites them with a wry and wistful sense of humor. In Mandarin with subtitles. 2019. 1h58m. n Rembrandt: Exhibition On Screen — Presented by Exhibition On Screen. Every Rembrandt exhibition is eagerly anticipated, but this major show hosted by London’s National Gallery and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum was an event like no other. Given privileged access to both galleries, the ilm documents this landmark exhibition, while interweaving Rembrandt’s life story with behind-the-scenes preparations at these world famous institutions.

Exploring many of the exhibition’s key works, through contributions from specially invited guests including curators and leading art historians, this Exhibition On

Screen favorite makes a welcome return to the big screen. 2014.

1h36m. n Transit — As fascism spreads, German refugee Georg (Franz Rogowski) lees to Marseille and assumes the identity of the dead writer whose transit papers he is carrying. Living among refugees from around the world, Georg falls for Marie (Paula Beer), a mysterious woman searching for her husband – the man whose identity he has stolen. Adapted from Anna Segher’s 1944 novel, Transit shifts the original story to the present, blurring periods to create a timeless exploration of the plight of displaced people.

In French and German with subtitles. 2018. 1h41m. n CatVideoFest 2019 — CatVideoFest is a compilation reel of the latest and best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos, and, of course, classic internet powerhouses. CatVideoFest is a joyous communal experience, only available in theaters, and raises money for cats in need through partnerships with local cat charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters to best serve cats in the area. Portion of proceeds to beneit AnimalKind in Hudson.

2019. 1h10m. n Apollo 11 — From director Todd Douglas Miller (Dinosaur 13) comes a cinematic event ifty years in the making. Crafted from a newly discovered trove of 65mm footage, and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, Apollo 11 takes us straight to the heart of NASA’s most celebrated mission – the one that irst put men on the moon, and forever made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names. Immersed in the perspectives of the astronauts, the team in Mission Control, and the millions of spectators on the ground, we vividly experience those momentous days and hours in 1969 when humankind took a giant leap into the future.
