CATSKILL — For a brief period, Jefferson Heights residents were unsure if the proposed Green Suites Resort — a four-story hotel to be sited near the Catskill Golf Resort — would hit a hole-in-one or exit with a triple bogey.

But Tuesday, the project seems to have cleared its biggest hurdle: having an adequate water supply.

A proposal for 50-unit resort is before the planning board for a special-use permit. At last month’s meeting, the entire project was jeopardized because Brooks Lane did not have sufficient water pressure to support the new development.

But the situation has changed with help from the village of Catskill, according to town planners.

The project is moving full-speed ahead, Planning Board Chairman Joseph Izzo said Wednesday.

“They’re going to put in a new water line from the top of Brooks Lane to the hotel,” he said.

The village Department of Public Works will be performing the work, Izzo said.

Applicant David Vipler received a quote from the village of $179,000 for the new lines.

Vipler is applying for a $8.2 million economic development grant from Empire State Development, Vipler said Wednesday.

“The grant is for growing tourism in your area,” he said. “I thought it was the best approach to getting it approved [by the planning board].”

Vipler also applied for the grant in 2018 and came close to receiving it, he said.

“They came to visit us last year and said we met all the requirements,” Vipler said.

Olana to get lift from state park funding

By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

Three Columbia County parks, including one with strong ties to Greene County, are in line to receive a total of $4.38 million in state funding for repairs and renovations.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced that $110 million in capital funding has been set aside in the state’s 2020 budget to continue the NY Parks 2020 initiative aimed at revitalizing the state’s flagship parks, according to a statement from the governor.

Statewide, 47 parks and historic sites will receive funding for construction projects and systemwide improvements.

The Columbia County parks slated to receive funding are Lake Taghkanic State Park, Olana State Historic Site and Taconic State Park.

Olana State Historic Site is one of three Columbia County parks that will receive state funding for major renovations.

Joining Cuomo in the announcement were Senate Majority Leader Andrew Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker

Carl Heastie.

“State parks are central to New York’s thriving tourism economy and millions

of New Yorkers turn to these world-class natural treasures each year for fun, exercise and community engagement,” Cuomo said. “This significant investment will help enhance and modernize our cherished state parks while promoting healthy outdoor recreation, preserving our environment and lifting up local economies.”

Lake Taghkanic State Park will receive a total of $575,000, including $225,000 to replace the park’s east water tower and $350,000 for improvements to the westside septic pump station, as well as system improvements.

At Taconic State Park, $1,960,000 has been allocated for infrastructure repairs, including $1,600,000 for the shower house, comfort station and septic system in the northern section of the See PARK A2

Enck has had success with the Clean Air Law in Coeymans, which prevented an incinerator plant at the Lafarge-Holcim cement plant and with state legislation to prevent an incinerator plant from being developed in Romulus.

Enck also encouraged the community to look ecologically sustainable businesses instead for the site.

campground. The remaining $360,000 will be used to improve water treatment and distribution.

Olana State Historic Site will receive $1 million to relocate a temporary parking lot at the site’s farm complex and kitchen garden, and an additional $850,000 to replace an aging water storage tank.

Olana Partnership President Sean Sawyer said the funding will be used to improve an important historic site for Columbia County and beyond.

“We work jointly with the parks agency to restore and make Olana the best it can be for the public,” Sawyer said.

“This is funding in the state budget through Gov. Cuomo’s initiatives, along with the parks commissioner and the region, to accomplish a major task at Olana.”

The water tower at Olana is in need of replacement to protect the site, Sawyer said.

“The water tower is vital — it will replace an aging and deteriorating water tower that provides fire protection for the house and its collection, which is a national treasure,” he said.

The second component of the renovation project at Olana would be the first step in restoring a little-known farm complex and a return to the site’s historic roots.

“We are working hand in hand with state parks to complete the restoration of Olana to bring it back to the full vision that Frederic Church had for it,” Sawyer said. “Part of that will be to bring back the historic farm

main, which is not supposed to freeze or crack,” Vipler said last month. “It expands with the cold and warm temperatures.”

Residents on Brooks Lane will be connected to the new line at no charge, Izzo said. “[The upgrade] solves the existing issue and the hotel issue,” Vipler said.

Vipler will present an updated site plan to the planning board before the project is sent to the county for review, Izzo said.

“Then we will schedule a public hearing,” Izzo said.

Vipler hopes to start building

next spring, he said.

Vipler has been trying to get the town to approve the building plans since last February.

They were not accepted in the past because the hotel was proposed for construction in a high-density zone.

Making his case for the hotel in late March, Vipler said his business will be beneficial to the village.

“Our project water usage is 10,040 gallons per day and the same for sewer,” Vipler said.

“That’s additional income for the village.”

But Catskill Village President

Vincent Seeley said at the time he was uncertain of the project’s future.

“We can’t invest in a water project when there is no guarantee of water usage,” he said.

The water issue had the potential to derail the project entirely, but Tuesday’s announcement that water would be supplied to the proposed hotel means the project is a go.

“My ideal schedule is to get the foundation in in September and put up the hotel in the spring,” Vipler told the planning board in March.

company’s sewer usage.

Walker said the site is a poor choice from a geological standpoint.

The bedrock in the quarry are made of carbonate, he said.

“They are soluble in water,” Walker said. “They are leaky and they get cracks in them. And it’s as close to the river as possible.

It’s a really unfortunate choice.

An astonishingly bad choice.”

The carbonate bedrock can turn into karst, which leads to sinkholes and caves, Walker said.

“It’s not like if you’re pregnant or not pregnant,” Walker said. “It’s an inperceptible change. Are we dealing with a sealed basin or a sieve? They couldn’t have picked a worse site in Greene County.”

Wheelabrator has not found evidence of any karst on the site, according to a statement.

“The presence of any karst at the proposed Catskill site would likely cause the site to be dropped from consideration,” according to the statement.

Walker did not have much faith in the quarry retaining any leaks, he said.

“The notion that this thing isn’t going to leak is preposterous,” he said. “It isn’t if they leak, it’s how fast they are leaking.”

A study Wheelabrator sent to

DEC in its final report showed Tracey’s Landing Quarry lost or infiltrated 4,290,000 gallons in 34 days, a rate of 87 gallons per minute, Walker said.

The site is not suitable as is, Walker said, and it will only get worse when Wheelabrator blasts the land to make a valley for the ash.

“It’s like putting a racing saddle on a donkey and pretending you have a race horse,” Walker said. “It’s still a donkey. Don’t put that donkey in the races or we’re all gonna be jackasses.”

Wheelabrator chose the site due to “site environmental considerations, viewshed preservation and proximity to neighbors and Wheelabrator’s incinerator plants, according to a statement from Wheelabrator.

The company has invested more than $1 million in environmental testing for the site.

Walker recalled the use of the Hanford River in Washington as a nuclear testing site during the Cold War. “Let’s not become Hanford on the Hudson,” he said.

Anthony Pilatich grew up on the property in question, he said during the Q&A portion.

“I remember going hunting when I should have brought a fishing pole,” he recalled.

Natural springs had flooded the potato field and there were

fish in the makeshift pond, Pilatich said.

Talbott said the turnout for the forum was great.

“People got excited in a positive way,” he said. “Most of all they got informed. People that thought it was a done deal learned we can still do something to stop this.”

Talbott is cautious about prompting the town to pass a resolution, he said.

“I’m for it but it sets a precedent for other administrations and other interest groups,” he said.

The town released the following statement in response to the forum: “Last night members of the town board attended the forum at the Community Center concerning the possibility of a monofill being located in a quarry in Catskill. We have requested a copy of last night’s presentation materials to distribute to the members of our town board, along with members of the planning and zoning boards. Since DEC has not completed its review and no proposal has been submitted, the town board is also considering the actions available to us as a municipality. We appreciate the input from the community and we will keep our constituents informed on next steps.”

at Olana, which occupied about a third of the property during Church’s lifetime. It has been unknown and invisible for the past 75 years, and for the entire time it has been a state historic site.”

State funding includes $1 million that will be used to replace a temporary parking lot that was installed roughly 10 years ago right next to the house’s kitchen garden.

“This temporary lot is finally getting removed and a permanent parking lot that will be much safer and better for visitors is being put down out of the historic area of the farm,” Sawyer said. “We have to do that before we can bring back the kitchen garden portion of the site, and we have public and private funds to do that.”

In Church’s time, the kitchen garden is where vegetables were grown to feed the family and staff.

“This is the first step to bringing agriculture back to Olana,” Sawyer said. “Agriculture was really an important part of how Frederic Church thought about the Hudson Valley and his place in it. It was about living in nature but also benefiting from the produce and productive agricultural lands.”

State Sen. Daphne Jordan, R-43, a member of Olana Partnership, said the funding will make some welcome improvements.

“Our state parks not only help to preserve the incredible scenic beauty of New York, but also provide recreation to New Yorkers,” Jordan said. “Visitors to our state parks help with tourism dollars in our local economies. Funding to Olana, a New York state historic site, is exciting. This historic and

beautiful treasure is a publicprivate partnership. The nonprofit Olana Partnership has been working hard to not only preserve Olana, but to expand upon what visitors, tourists, students and artists are able to experience at Fredric Church’s Olana.”

In the Capital Region, $9.7 million has been budgeted for repairs to seven parks.

In addition to the three parks in Columbia County, others in the Capital Region include Johnson Hall State Historic Site in Johnstown, John B. Thacher State Park in Voorheesville and Saratoga Spa State Park in Saratoga Springs, along with regionwide paving improvements, according to the governor’s office.

The site renovations should have an impact that goes beyond the parks, said F. Michael Tucker, president and CEO of the Columbia Economic Development Corporation.

“State parks, historic sites and nature preserves play an important role in promoting economic development, particularly here in Columbia County, by enhancing the quality of life of local residents, attracting tourists and other visitors, providing seasonal and full-time jobs and an opportunity to purchase goods and services from local businesses,” he said.

More than half of the $4.3 million in state park funding for the Capital Region will come to Columbia County, Tucker said.

“The impact of state parks on our local economy is enormous in terms of the economicmultiplier effect throughout the county,” Tucker said.

Assemblywoman Didi Barrett, D-106, said the impact on the region could be significant.

“Our parks provide beloved space for outdoor enjoyment, but they are also important economic drivers to our region,” Barrett said. “Supporting our state parks and recreational spaces has always been a top priority for me, which is why I helped pass a budget that provides $110 million for critical park upgrades. This includes more than $4 million for Lake Taghkanic State Park, Olana State Historic Site and Taconic State Park. With this funding, we can help ensure Hudson Valley families and visitors have even more opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.”

The rain is making everything come alive again

By Lula Anderson For Columbia-Greene Media

Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day. Like in the summer when we are totally in a drought. April is the time to start preparing your gardens. The daffodils are unfurling their beautiful sunny faces, the peonies are popping up their dark red stems and the rhubarb has popped up, literally overnight. I will soon be trying to find a use for the abundant tart stems. Rhubarbtinis are always a possibility, say my friends from Jewett.

The wildlife is reawakening. I have a very pesky groundhog that has taken up residence under my house. I was hoping that the rain would collapse his burrow, but no luck. A beautiful red fox was seen near “Smitty’s Landscaping” in Brooksburg. Make sure you take in your birdfeeders at night, and don’t leave compost near your house. A large bear has been roaming through the Ashland Trailer Park. It has been reported on the news that the animals, especially the bears, are hungrier this year as the excess rain last summer destroyed many of the fruits and berries that they would

have eaten to sustain themselves over the winter.

There will be a meeting for the Pleasant Valley Cemetery at 7 p.m. on May 9 at the Town Hall in Ashland.

The Windham Hensonville UMC will be holding its annual Pulled Pork Sandwich luncheon 11 a.m.-2 p.m. May 3.

AS I REMEMBER IT As most of you know from reading my writings, I feel sad about the Mt. Top, and Greene County, in general, losing our identity. We have lost our industry, our small stores. Greene County no longer has a hospital, Social Security office, and no college. Columbia County is taking over.

In South Cairo, American Thermostats had a factory which opened in 1954. They made the electrical parts for things like electric fry pans. Many from the Mt. Top worked there, and were the “original car poolers.”

Irene Hunt, Dorothy and Pauline Case, Dot Allen, Edie Nagle, Rhonda Decker, Opal Spaulding. All learned to do every job that was preformed there. Women

and men worked side by side, soldering, inspecting, using small machines, forklifts to move the product.

Wally Thompson started on soldering, then after he got burnt, got moved to inventory. I remember Elaine Soule would have burn marks on her pack of cigarettes from resting the soldering iron down and keeping her from getting burned.

The factory provided good paying, steady jobs for many people, but, like many businesses of the time, had industrial waste, and didn’t dispose of it properly. In 1983, the environmentalists found that the employees were disposing of chemicals in an abandoned septic field, and in some cases, dumping waste on the parking area. After many tests and cleanup, the plant was closed in 1985, leaving many people without a job, and the land sitting empty.

The company did extensive cleanup, but it is doomed to stay vacant.

With the state taking control over so much land, and NYC taking over our water rights, are we going to be able to survive?

OUR VIEW

Taxpayers deserve transparency The Hudson Development Corporation amended its secret ballot process to comply with state Open Meetings Law. Aren’t these are the same people the city entrusts to foster economic growth? With that much at stake, city residents deserve some transparency. Instead, they got an odd, enigmatic election.

Last month, Paul Colarusso, Seth Rogovoy, Martha Lane and Paul Barrett were elected to the board of directors to fill two vacant seats and the seats of the board’s secretary, Christine Jones, and treasurer, Don Moore.

Former city attorney Ken Dow submitted a letter received by the board April 12 questioning the secret ballot procedure used by the board. The ballots were unsigned — that is, anonymous. Two candidates received one no vote each and one candidate got two no votes, said HDC board member Robert Rasner.

“We thought we did a good job, but we missed a couple of things,” Rasner said by way of an explanation. Sorry, but that won’t cut it.

To comply with the state Open Meetings Law, Rasner asked board members to sign

their ballots from last month’s vote. Nine of the 10 ballots received last month were signed Tuesday. One board member was absent, but through process of elimination, the board will be able to determine who the ballot belongs to, Rasner said.

Ballots will be available in the future for the public to view at the Hudson Development Corporation office by appointment, Rasner said. The board will continue this process in the future, Rasner said.

Could each board member identify the ballots they filled out? How could nine of 10 ballots be submitted anonymously without arousing curiosity as to the identity of the voter?

There may be a simple explanation for all of this, but we haven’t heard one from the Hudson Development Corporation. The public had a right to know how the board of directors voted in such an important election, one that could guide Hudson’s destiny for years. If the HDC has not shown outright disdain for transparency, it has placed the trust of the entire community at risk.

ANOTHER VIEW

Antiabortion movement has taken on extreme - and unconstitutional - measures (c) 2019,The Washington Post ·

Public support for abortion rights is at its highest since the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, with 67% of voters saying abortion should be legal in “all” or “most” cases.” At the same time, though, a record number of bills that would severely restrict — even ban — abortion have been filed and in some cases enacted in legislatures across the country. The dichotomy is due to how Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court has so emboldened the antiabortion movement that extreme — even flagrantly unconstitutional — measures are now seen as worthy of pursuit.

“Now is our time. This is the best court we’ve had in my lifetime, in my parents’ lifetime,” the president of Ohio’s oldest antiabortion group told The New York Times after a ban on abortion in the very early weeks of pregnancy was signed into law. Similar laws have passed in Mississippi, Kentucky and Georgia and have been proposed in at least 11 other states. The bills would ban abortions at about six weeks of pregnancy, when a fetal heartbeat can be detected, and thus would make it virtually impossible for nearly all women to get the procedure. Many women don’t even realize they are pregnant before six weeks, which is about two weeks after a missed menstrual period.

The bills are clearly unconstitutional under

the 1973 Roe decision, which said states may not restrict abortion before the fetus is viable outside the womb, generally about 24 weeks of pregnancy. Lower courts — as already occurred in Kentucky — are expected to block their implementation as legal challenges are waged. Antiabortion activists hope the Supreme Court — with Kavanaugh and President Donald Trump’s other appointee, Neil Gorsuch, on the bench — will use such a case to gut or overturn Roe v. Wade.

Even if that doesn’t occur, the bills allow politicians to prove their virulent antiabortion bona fides. Never mind that many red states have imposed so many restrictions in the way of waiting periods, forced ultrasounds, curbs on insurance and TRAP (targeted regulation of abortion providers) laws that it is already extremely difficult for women to get access to the procedure. Never mind that many states devoting energy, time and money to enacting and defending these abortion bans suffer from terrible health outcomes for women. Georgia, for example, has the nation’s second-worst maternal mortality rate. In parts of Missouri, which is now considering one of the most extreme antiabortion bills, maternal mortality is 50% higher than in the rest of the country. But the term “pro-life” does not seem to encompass concern for those endangered lives.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘It isn’t where you came from; it’s where you’re going that counts.’

Politicians have no qualms about borrowing from the future WASHINGTON — Pursed lips and clucked tongues signaled disapproval among the wise and responsible when, at a recent televised event, Sen. Bernie Sanders, the “democratic socialist” from Vermont, did not plausibly explain how he would pay for “Medicare for all.” The remarkable thing, however, is the quaint expectation that any political person should explain how he or she would align proposed expenditures and actual revenues. For decades, the implicit answer has always been the same: They won’t even pretend to align them.

Under a Republican president and, until four months ago, Republican control of both houses of Congress, the nation is about to run trillion-dollar budget deficits with the economy expanding and employment more than full: The unemployment rate is 3.8% and, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 7.1 million jobs unfilled. As the birth rate declines, the population ages (approximately 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day) and the country is told to be alarmed because too many would-be immigrants are trying to enter the country and its workforce.

Yet Sanders is supposed to hew to some archaic standards of fiscal probity? Why should an avowed socialist be held to standards of fiscal candor and prudence that have no discernible adherents in the avowedly conservative party?

Congressional Republicans are led on a short leash by a president who, as a candidate, vowed to not touch entitlement programs that are significant drivers of the deficit, and who breezily promised to eliminate the national debt (currently $22 trillion) in eight years. (Today, that would mean eight reductions of $2.75 trillion, a sum equal to 63% of the fiscal 2019 budget.) Republicans, now thoroughly disarmed

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL concerning the issue of fiscal probity, struggle to frighten the 2020 electorate with the specter of spendthrift socialists threatening the Republic.

The Manhattan Institute’s Brian Riedl notes that this year, as the national debt, which was $10 trillion in 2008, heads toward $38 trillion in 2029, the federal government will spend $35,148 per household and collect $26,677 per household in taxes. Householders are understandably content with this arithmetic.

For guidance on how to think about what the political class does not think about (and wishes you would not think about), read “Welfare and Debt: A Moynihanian Assessment” by Chris DeMuth of the Hudson Institute. In 1986, when the national debt was a mere stripling, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., delivered an address titled “The Moral Dimensions of a Two Trillion Dollar Debt,” in which he pondered the virtue, for nations as well as individuals, of self-denial — forgoing present pleasures for future benefits. Even 33 years ago he saw that our public debt is morally “problematic”: “The people who do the borrowing, which is to say elected officials, are not the ones who will do the repaying. The temptation is real to use debt not as a form of investment, but a means of consumption. Far from the denial of gratification, it can, and frequently does, reflect just the opposite.”

DeMuth says that in 1986

Moynihan was “stunningly perspicacious” about “one big thing,” which DeMuth calls “a transformation of the political economy of federal government.” From the Founding until the fourth quarter of the 20th century, the political economy — the government’s taxing and spending — had been used primarily to provide “public goods” such as defense, diplomacy, courts, infrastructure, schools, basic research. Suddenly, however, the political economy became “primarily a provider of private consumption by individuals.” Yes, primarily. DeMuth: “In 1960, public goods had accounted for about 75% of federal outlays net of interest payments on the debt, while ‘payments for individuals’ were the other 25%. By 1970, payments for individuals had grown to 35%. In 1986 when Pat spoke, payments for individuals had become dominant at 55%. Today they are 75% and still growing; public goods are now the residual 25% of our national government and shrinking.”

What DeMuth calls the new “borrowed-benefits” budget norm is financed to a significant extent by borrowing from nonconsenting future generations. The benefits are current consumption “and are not going to generate returns to pay off the borrowed funds.” This, says DeMuth, is just one facet of “our comprehensive rejection of constraint — not only in public finance but in politics, in constitutional structure, in rhetoric, and in culture.”

The word that describes this is: “decadence.” And the word that describes today’s belief, which fuels apocalyptic rhetoric, about the supposedly stark differences between the parties, is: “nonsense.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The future belongs to our children To the editor: Recently, I was standing in one of my hayfields watching a pair of Northern Harriers skimming above the ground, searching for a meal in the grass. This made me contemplate the future of these magnificent birds as the farmland in our area continues to revert to brush and wasteland.

It seems that many people have come to expect that these scenic views are here for their enjoyment. In reality, those landscapes were created by the toil and continuing effort of the farmers who work that land.

This comes at a very high cost to farmers in time, money, and effort. In today’s agricultural economy, it is getting more difficult to maintain these farm lands. First and foremost, farmers are simply no longer there.

Without farmers, the land quickly reverts to wilderness.

There is no economic value to fields of invasive brush and weeds.

The town of Coxsackie claims they want to see these landscapes preserved for the benefit of those who want to maintain the character of the area. Who will pay to maintain these open spaces? They do not want to allow for commercialscale solar farms in the town,

since that will change the character of Coxsackie. However, farming is leaving Coxsackie!

The few farmers that are left are struggling to make a living.

When they, too, quit, who will maintain these open spaces favored by the Northern Harrier and everyone who wants to see this view maintained?

The solar companies offer the option to help support the few farmers that are still left with added income and the ability to keep some agriculture viable. The land involved in the solar projects also offers opportunities for beginning farmers to utilize some of the areas for small-scale agricultural operations such as intensive vegetable production under solar panels and in hoop houses in peripheral areas, bee keeping, and grazing sheep under the panels for maintenance of grasses. This is possible because the cost of entry would be lowered to these farmers, since they would not be required to purchase land they cannot afford.

Additionally, the Town Council could reverse the new zoning regulations that they put into place to limit the potential of commercial scale solar farms, and allow the area to receive the benefits of those

projects: much-needed revenue for the local economy and open space maintained for Harriers.

Even more than the Harriers, I am concerned about the future. What will be the conditions we leave to our grandchildren’s grandchildren? Will they be forced to inherit a world of worsening environment? There is much more at stake now than an admirable viewshed. Perhaps the Town Council of Coxsackie should show some true leadership and work to support the needs of the many. Their leadership could shape a new future that mitigates the rapidly changing environment. With more powerful storms and more extreme conditions, our environment is spiraling beyond hope of our control. Now is the time to take action before our actions are impotent.

With wise choices, and perhaps some adjusted expectations, Coxsackie could be known as a place where the future really belongs to our children; children who would be able to watch the magnificent Northern Harriers soaring above the open fields and have productive farmlands preserved for their future.

Trump says he would ask Supreme Court to intervene if Democrats move to impeach him John Wagner The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that he would ask the Supreme Court to intervene if Democrats move to impeach him - a notion that legal experts said showed a misunderstanding of the Constitution.

It was unclear how Trump would legally justify such a move, since the Constitution delegates impeachment proceedings to Congress, not the courts. Trump mentioned the idea briefly in morning tweets in which he lashed out at Democrats who are continuing to investigate him following the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

“I DID NOTHING WRONG,” Trump wrote. “If the partisan Dems ever tried to Impeach, I would first head to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Not only are there no ‘High Crimes and Misdemeanors,’ there are no Crimes by me at all.”

A White House spokesman did not immediately respond to a request to elaborate on what the president would seek from the court.

The notion was ridiculed by several legal experts, including Laurence Tribe, a Harvard law professor, who accused Trump of “idiocy.”

“Not even a SCOTUS filled with Trump appointees would get in the way of the House or Senate,” Tribe wrote on Twitter, adding that Trump apparently thinks his recent court appointments would give him a “ ‘get out of jail free’ card.”

Joshua Matz, a lawyer who specializes in constitutional law, said that Trump’s tweet “reflects a profound misunderstanding.”

While it’s possible that the court could play a role on “collateral disputes” arising from an impeachment proceeding, it has “no constitutional warrant to second-guess the substance of an impeachment judgment,” Matz said in an email.

“If the President were to seek judicial intervention in that fashion, the courts would almost certainly refuse to hear the case on the ground that it is a ‘political question’ textually entrusted to Congress by the Constitution,” Matz said.

Trump’s tweets come amid growing calls from Democrats to launch impeachment proceedings even as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other party leaders say

that the move is premature.

Asked about impeachment during a Tuesday interview for the Time 100 Summit in New York, Pelosi said that “if the . . . fact-finding takes us there, we have no choice. But we’re not there yet.”

After a nearly two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, Mueller said he did not find sufficient evidence to bring charges of criminal conspiracy with Russia against Trump or anyone associated with his campaign. Mueller did not offer a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice.

Though Attorney General William Barr determined there was not sufficient evidence for obstruction of justice, Democrats are using episodes outlined in Mueller’s report to continue exploring that issue.

Trump more broadly is resisting efforts by House Democrats to scrutinize his actions in the wake of the Mueller report.

He told The Washington

Post on Tuesday that he is opposed to current and former White House aides providing testimony to congressional panels.

“There is no reason to go any further, and especially in Congress where it’s very partisan - obviously very partisan,” Trump said.

Trump continued to push back against congressional scrutiny Wednesday morning as he talked to reporters before leaving the White House for a trip to Atlanta.

“We’re fighting all the subpoenas,” Trump said. “These aren’t like impartial people.

The Democrats are trying to win 2020. . . . And they’re not gonna win against me. The only way they can maybe luck out, and I don’t think that’s gonna happen - it might make it even the opposite, that’s what a lot of people are saying - the only way they can luck out is by constantly going after me on nonsense.”

He also suggested Congress had misplaced priorities.

“Get back to infrastructure.

Earlier this week, lawyers for Trump also filed a lawsuit in a bid to block a congressional subpoena of some of his financial records from an accounting firm.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in the District of Columbia, seeks a court order to quash a subpoena issued last week by the House Oversight Committee to Mazars USA.

I threw some bread out for the birds. I watched as two grackles had a birdiestandoff with a piece of bread between them. Both were standing like statues waiting for the other one to blink. A blue jay swooped in, grabbed the bread and flew off with it.

The grackles looked down at the now empty spot and both walked off. There is a moral in that story somewhere.

Until next week take care, be thankful and please be kind.

Woodchuck Lodge is a registered National Historic Landmark. From 1910 to 1921, it was the summer home of John Burroughs. The Lodge was built in the early 1860s by Burroughs’ older brother Curtis on The Burroughs’ homestead land where the naturalist was born and raised. John Burroughs died March 29, 1921 on a train headed east after a winter in California. His last words: “How far are we from home?”

The funeral was attended by a crowd of farm neighbors and celebrities. And then, on his 84th birthday, he was buried in what is now John Burroughs Memorial Field, a state historic site just up the road from Woodchuck Lodge and within a mile of the farmstead where

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA BASILICA HUDSON ANNOUNCES THE RETURN OF

24-Hour Drone: Experiments in Sound and Music HUDSON — Multidisciplinary arts center Basilica Hudson has announced that 24-HOUR DRONE - its experimental, experiential festival of sound and music - will return for its fifth year from noon noon on April 27 and April 28.

Limited early bird tickets for the event are on sale now, priced at $24, or $1 per hour of music.

The event’s organizers have also once again launched an open call for artist submissions, encouraging music, sound, visual and other artists whose work is DRONE-based in some capacity to participate in the event.

Basilica Hudson co-founder and director Melissa Auf der Maur says: “The open call for artist submissions is a key element of our planning process for this particular event.

24-HOUR DRONE stands as a ritual of communion and exchange, an homage to sound that unifies players and listeners alike, and the submissions we receive help us achieve this.

CONTRITUTED PHOTO

We’re committed to seeking out drones that transcend both genres and continents in their adherence to this most ancient form of music and sound.”

Artists can submit their work at: http://bit. ly/24HOURDRONE An adventurous collaboration between Basilica Hudson and the Netherlands’ Le Guess Who? Festival, 24-HOUR DRONE is an immersive, allencompassing event featuring an international roster of musicians and sound artists collaborating and working in

experimental, classical, nonwestern/traditional, durational and other genres incorporating drone to create a full 24 hours of unbroken sound.

Set in the round against the raw, industrial backdrop of Basilica Hudson’s solar-powered reclaimed factory, with the spectacular Hudson River and Catskill Mountains on the horizon, 24-HOUR DRONE is the inaugural event of Basilica Hudson’s 2019 season, and one which captures the multidisciplinary arts center at its most experimental and experiential.

“We aim to bring cultures together, demonstrating the diversity inherently present within all music,” says Auf der Maur. “The cross-pollination of instrumentation, musical traditions and culture creates a tapestry of human experience, elevating the whole, greater than the sum of its parts. Diversity of sound creates a seamless sonic and communal experience, with connections and dialogues opened in unexpected ways.”

The first 24-HOUR DRONE was held in tandem with the Le Guess Who? festival in Utrecht, Netherlands in November of 2014, before arriving stateside the following April to open Basilica Hudson’s 2015 season. Previous 24-HOUR DRONE events have featured artists including Laraaji, Innov Gnawa, Pharmakon, Steve Gorn, Julia Kent, Lee Ranaldo, Oneida, Jessica Moss, Arone Dyer, Greg Fox, Gamelan Kusuma Laras, Brian Chase, Lea Bertucci, Long Distance Poison, Prurient and more.

Up In One Productions is proud to present Disney’s Newsies RINEBECK — The Center for perming arts presents ”Newsies”, April 26 - May 12, 8 p.m. Fri & Sat, 3 p.m. Sun, Tickets: $27, Box Office: (845) 876-3080 Up In One Productions is proud to present Disney’s Newsies. Based on the 1992 motion picture, the Broadway musical hit features a score by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by four-time Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage aux Folles, Torch Song Trilogy).

Set in New York City at the turn of the century, and inspired by the real life “Newsboy Strike of 1899”, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy

and leader of a ragged band of teenaged “newsies,” who dreams of a better life far from the hardship of the streets.

But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys’

expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies newsies from across the city to strike for what’s right.

Timely and fresh, the fictionalized adaptation of Newsies addresses age-old themes of social injustice,

exploitative labor practices and David-versus-Goliath struggles as the young learn to harness their power against a corrupt establishment.

Directed and choreographed by Kevin Archambault, music directed by Cheryl B. Engelhardt, produced by Diana di Grandi.

Starring Terrence Boyer, Maria Coppola, Dietz Farcher, Brayden Giannelli, Mark Grunblatt, Jody Satriani, & Wendell Scherer.

With Chris Backofen, Jordan Castro, Erin Hebert, Joe Felece, Howie Riggs, Ken Thompson, Jessie Truin & Thom Webb.

Along with 20+ of the hardest working singers and dancers in the Hudson Valley!

Appropriate For All Audiences.

If only her mother could tell her who her father is…Sun, sea, sex and subterfuge are the backdrop to this tale of the

women who want to have it all.

Production dates are weekends, October 12 – 27. Rehearsals will begin the week of August 25th and are Sunday through Thursday evenings.

Plot in short supply in haunting ‘High Life’

By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

“High Life,” Claire Denis’ highly flawed but haunting science-fiction story in which a crew of death-row convicts is the subject of weird experiments on a mysterious deepspace mission, is set in a galaxy where few movies have gone before. Sex, not science, is the object of the research. The spaceships resemble cheaply constructed, poorly lighted dormitories.

Isolation punctuated by spasms of homicidal rage among the crew is the likely result. But Monte (Robert Pattinson) seems to have the best chance of successfully getting through the experience with his sanity intact — if he survives.

At the movie’s start, the stoic and self-confident Monte plays with a blue-eyed baby girl, who turns out to be his daughter, in a lush, green garden. Monte is the last living adult on the ship.

He enters a cryogenic chamber containing a half-dozen bodies, dons a spacesuit and slowly, ritualistically drops the whitewrapped corpses out of an open airlock for a long plunge into the starless void.

FILE PHOTO

Denis, working with screenwriter Jean-Pol Fargeau, is a greatly gifted filmmaker, and she brings the same cryptic, free-association approach to “High Life” that she did to her romantic comedy “Let the Sunshine In” (2018). But there is little of that movie’s seductive playfulness or the sciencefiction genre’s inherent optimism evident here. The movie is a flashback about how Monte and his daughter (played late in the story by Jessie Hess) became the mission’s only survivors, and how rest of the crew selfdestructs in a bloody, ultraviolent series of rapes and assaults.

The mission, however, remains stubbornly unclear from begin-

ning to end.

In his dangerous surroundings and dependence on unstable shipmates, Monte chooses abstinence, a character virtue rare in space-travel heroes. Except for Tcherny (Andre Benjamin), a friendly bear of a man who wants the mission to make his wife and child’s lives on Earth better, Monte is rightly convinced that it is just him against his violent, erotically charged circumstances.

Running the experiments is Dr. Dibs (Juliette Binoche), who at first seems to be doing legitimate research into conception and birth in the rigors of outer space, but she has an appalling bedside manner. She controls

her charges by slipping tranquilizers into their water and is addicted to orgasms produced by the Box, a grisly thinking mass, part machine and part flesh worthy of David Cronenberg. It’s a long way from Woody Allen’s comical Orgasmatron in “Sleeper” (1973).

Denis isn’t interested in external action so much as she is concerned with inner needs and desires, so she has the script summarize the movie’s plot in a brief voice-over from Monte, a weakness that drags down a movie that is already strange and slow, yet somehow absorbing.

Pattinson is easy to watch.

He’s a natural presence who economically conveys Monte’s toughness and paternal love while subtly projecting heartbreak at the choices he is forced to make. Unsurprisingly, Binoche is likable here, even when Dibs, a mercenary in her treatment of the crew and obsessed with her own gratification, shouldn’t be likable. The space effects are not spectacular but retro-1970s B-movie caliber and the acting is intense and effective.

CALENDAR LISTINGS TSL Movies April 18 - April 24 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. 2019.

1h33m 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, one-by-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 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 I am Cuba — Havana, late 1950s.

Helicopter-borne, the camera swoops over a dark sea and tropical island; through and under a village on stilts amid the wetlands; to a fashion show atop a skyscraper; and down to a rooftop swimming pool, following a dark-haired bikinied beauty into and under the water. And that’s just the beginning. Soviet director Mikhail Kalatozov, along with legendary poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko, screenwriter Enrique Pineda Barnet, and camera-maestro Sergei Urusevsky, did for the 1959 revolution what Eisenstein had done for Russia’s, creating a riot of innovative photography, rapid-ire cutting, screen-illing close-ups, hair-raising handheld tracking shots, crane shots, elevator shots, and more. In Spanish and English with subtitles.

1964. 2h23m. n Her Smell — Becky Something (Elisabeth Moss) is a ‘90s punk rock superstar who once illed arenas with her grungy all-female trio Something She. Now she plays smaller venues while grappling with motherhood, exhausted band mates, nervous record company executives, and a new generation of talent eager to usurp her stardom. When Becky’s chaos derails a recording session and national tour, she inds herself shunned, isolated, and alone. Writer-director Alex Ross Perry pumps up the volume and shines a light on the terrifying moment when super-stardom wanes, and quiet becomes the new loud. Anchored by a towering, unlinching performance from Golden Globe and Emmy winner Moss and supported by a stellar ensemble cast. 2018. 2h15m. 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 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 behindthe-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.

APRIL 26 Bread and Puppet Theater: Diagonal Life Friday, April 26, 7:30 p.m.

DIAGONAL LIFE: THEORY AND PRAXIS “Diagonals are created from the leaning power of hurt verticals,” says Peter Schumann, Bread and Puppet’s founder and director.

“The diagonal threatens collapse while always containing the possibility of uprising.” We inhabitants of Western modernity are no strangers to verticality, from the architecture of our cities, to the “ladder(s) of success” we’re asked to scale, to the incessant wakefulness required of us, postponing the horizontal pleasures of sleep. Bread and Puppet’s Diagonal Man presents the diagonal as a potent and promising opposition to the dominating verticality of our culture.After the performance Bread and Puppet will serve its famous free sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread and Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread and Puppet Press – will be for sale. The Bread and Puppet Practitioners-of-thePursuit-of-What String Band will welcome the public.

Easter Egg Hunt a success, kids sent home happy you Easter Bunny — you are the best.

Auxiliary members Carrie Hermance, Debbie Dymond Wandursky, Pat Minew, Cathy Martino and Ginny Gurley hid the eggs and Cathy was the Master of Ceremonies. Legionnaires Kip Rikard, Dana Hommel and Bob Gurley handed out ice cream cups and cookies. Sent those kiddies home on a sugar high!

The Youngs are now in their third generation in taking part in this event for our local children — Peggy, John and Jessica and now Adalyn.

Adalyn was more involved in cheering everyone on with her special smile than in hiding eggs or eating candies.

Local Prattsville businesses — Youngs, Jim’s Great American, David Rikard Law offices, etc. — helped the Unit and Post make this possible. And the appreciation received after the event from grandparents and parents make it all worthwhile.

Debbie Sutch is chomping on the bit to get started on her vegetable garden. She knows

PRATTSVILLE — It was a fun time for all things Prattsville. The Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327, Prattsville, was well attended by wellbehaved children and their parents. Close to 100 children took part in the Easter Egg Hunt without incident.

The Youngs have co-hosted this event at their place of business, Youngs’ Ace Hardware, for five years and their staff members have happily joined in.

Of course the main attraction is the Easter Bunny who is there to bring Easter cheer to the youngsters and to pose with them for pictures. Thank

time with other pastimes — working, cooking, crocheting.

Eleven American Legion Auxiliary members enjoyed a girls’ night out at the Brandywine on April 16, inclusive of two Junior members — Laura and Adrianna Breigle.

Senior members present were Pat Bifolco, Lana Breigle, Anita Creazzo, Ginny Gurley, Marianne Krauss, Cathy Martino, Nancy Orr, Amelia Osborn and Nicole Osborn.

Lots of laughs and plans for another night out but this time husbands and/or special friends would be included.

What was so special about a couple of homesteads on Route 23A that Mother Nature singled them out for some major wind damage last Sunday evening — April 14?

Lots of trees broken off, necessitating complete removal

of trees, and many branches and twigs to be picked up and carted away.

The Gurleys could not get out of their driveway and two trees had to be taken down.

Did you hear Bob swear?

The Elliott Brainards had a number of their pine trees broken off, gutter and TV Dish damage.

The Gurley Jrs had patio furniture blown around. All three families are grateful there was no broken windows or personal property damage.

Happy Birthday to Rev. Elliott Oaks and Dana Hommel on April 27. Both men are Vietnam veterans — thank you for your service. On April 30 it is happy birthday to BJ Murray.

Maple Hill softball holds off Catskill Columbia-Greene Media

CASTLETON — Maple Hill held off a late rally by Catskill to earn a 5-4 victory in Tuesday’s Patroon Conference softball game.

The Wildcats built a 5-0 lead, but Catskill fought back with four in the top of the seventh to make a game of it.

Alysa Houghtalinghad a home run, single and two RBI for Maple Hill. Emma Dugan added two singles and two RBI and Lizzie Brahm had a triple and an RBI. MAci Mosher came through with two singles for Catskill. Aaliyah Shook chipped in with a single and two RBI. Houghtaling was the winning pitcher, striking out 14, not walking a batter and allowing five hits and four runs (none earned).

Angelina Colon took the loss, fanning 10, walking four and allowing five hits and five runs (three earned).

“That seventh inning was a roller coaster ride, but in the end we got a much needed win,” Maple Hill coach Patrick Austin said. “ Hats off to Catskill for showing some fight. We had some girls out of position, which took away from our defensive rhythm and definitely missed a few plays we should have had, but we also know we left a lot of base runners on today and should have capitalized for a few more runs earlier in the game.

“So definitely some things to work on and fix.”

NOAH K. MURRAY/USA TODAY

New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (52) delivers a pitch against the Kansas City Royals at Yankee Stadium.

CC Sabathia nears milestone in a triumph of reinvention Tyler Kepner The New York Times News Service

The two most similar pitchers to CC Sabathia in major league history, according to Baseball Reference, are Andy Pettitte and Mike Mussina, both New York Yankees stalwarts.

Pettitte taught Sabathia the cutter late in his career.

Mussina knew he needed it.

If not the cutter, Sabathia would surely need something else to extend his career. Mussina explained this over lunch in 2016 as he retraced his own career path.

“It’s not the first half of your career that gets you to a big number; it’s how do you do after that,” he said. “When I left Baltimore and went to New York, my career wasn’t going to be about what I did in Baltimore. If my career was going to amount to more than 150 wins, it was going to be about what I did in New York.

“Can I still go out there and do the same job I did, without the same level of talent, because I’m older?

Can I still do it when I’m 32, 34, 36? And that’s the same question all these other guys are asking. Sabathia was lights-out. When you’re not lights-out anymore, can you still win 12, 13, 15?”

That season, Sabathia began reversing years of decline by turning to the cutter, with Pettitte and Mariano Rivera guiding him. Each year since, he has thrown it more often.

He is 24-12 since the start of the 2017 season, and

will soon become the 17th pitcher in major league history to reach 3,000 strikeouts — possibly as soon as Wednesday night, if he can strike out six Angels in Anaheim.

Mussina is 20th on the strikeout list, at 2,813, and will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer. Someday, Sabathia should join him. He has 247 victories and 2,994 strikeouts in a 19-year career.

Five of those strikeouts came over five innings on Friday night in a 6-2 win over the Kansas City Royals at Yankee Stadium. Sabathia said he had peeked at the strikeout tracker on the scoreboard, though just once. He is eager to finish the chase.

“I think it’d be pretty cool,” he said. “It would definitely be a relief so I can just go out and worry about the rest of the season and play and try to win a championship, because that’s all I’m really concerned about.

But with it being so close, it’s hard not for it to be right there in your head.”

A 300th victory is out of reach for Sabathia — he turns 39 in July and will retire after this season — and maybe for anyone else, because of the decline in starters’ workloads. In 2001, Sabathia’s rookie season, nine major league pitchers worked at least 230 innings, a figure Sabathia would reach five times. Yet no pitcher has done it in the See SABATHIA B6

games in her two appearances. In each start, she held the opposition to four hits.

She struck out five in a victory over Quinnipiac on April 17, and had nine strikeouts in a shutout against Monmouth on April 19.

Phippen is 15-3 with a 1.22 earned run average this season. She has 13 complete games, six shutouts, and two saves, with 146 strikeouts in 126 innings. Phippen

ranks in the nation’s top 50 in earned run average (15th), shutouts (24th), and hits allowed per seven innings (43rd). Last Thursday, she was named to the NFCA Top 25 Freshman list.

Phippen has now won four MAAC Rookie of the Week awards this season, and previously captured two MAAC Pitcher of the Week honors. As a team, Marist has won nine MAAC weekly awards this season.

Taylor, Thorsen lead Chatham to doubleheader sweep Columbia-Greene Media

CHATHAM — Kaleb Taylor homered, tripled, drove in five runs and pitched a no-hitter to lead Chatham to a 23-0 victory over Green Tech in the first game of Tuesday’s Patroon Conference baseball doubleheader.

In the nightcap, eighthgrader Matt Thorsen blasted his first varsity home run and drove in six runs as the Panthers completed the sweep with a 33-3 victory over the Eagles.

Taylor struck out 15 and walked two in leading Chatham to victory in the opener.

Grayson Van Wie had two doubles and two RBI in support of Taylor. Ryan Doyle, Hunter Scheriff and Curtis Buchan all had two singles and an RBI, Garner Boshart had a double and an RBI, Thomas Van Tassel a single and two RBI, Zach Gregg and Ryan Thorsen a single each and Alex Tuthill and Patrick Knight an RBI apiece.

Nyzair Sheldon and Pharoah Clark combined for seven strikeouts and 11 walks, while allowing 23 runs (12 earned) and 14 hits.

In the second game, Thorsen drilled a 3-2 pitch over the left field fence for a three-run homer to highlight a 10-run LOGAN WEISS/COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA first inning.

2019 NFL mock draft: QB roulette starts at No. 1 David DeChant Field Level Media

Even with five first-round quarterbacks in the 2018 draft, there were clues as to how the proceedings might play out.

We knew quarterbacks would go No. 1 and No. 3, and the Buffalo Bills’ interest in trading up for Josh Allen was no secret. We also knew the Arizona Cardinals were likely targeting a passer.

This year, Kyler Murray is on track to go first. It’s anyone’s guess after that. Every team appears to have Dwayne Haskins, Drew Lock and Daniel Jones ranked in a different order.

And who’s interested?

The Giants? Probably, but at No. 6 or No. 17?

The Redskins? Most likely, but who will be left for them?

The Broncos or Bengals? Who knows?

A surprise team like the Raiders? Perhaps.

Add in Cardinals 2018 firstrounder Josh Rosen – who becomes expendable if Arizona opts for Murray – and you essentially have five quarterbacks available and an unknown number of suitors. Oh by the way – 10 of the 11 first-round quarterbacks since 2016 have been drafted after a trade-up.

There will be fireworks. It’s just a matter of how early they start.

Things appear to be settled at the top... for now.

1. Arizona Cardinals: QB Kyler Murray, Oklahoma Josh Rosen has yet to be traded, and the Cardinals have insisted no decision is final. But all signs point to Kliff Kingsbury running his offense through Murray this fall.

2. San Francisco 49ers: DE Nick Bosa, Ohio State Assuming the Cardinals don’t take Bosa, this appears all but locked in. Few prospects – in any draft – bring as complete of a package, even after he missed much of his final year to injury.

3. New York Jets: DT Ed Oliver, Houston The Jets want to trade out, but it’s hard to see who might pay enough to trade up. Quinnen Williams or Josh Allen are options, but Mike Maccagnan rolls the dice on Oliver’s athleticism.

4. Oakland Raiders: DT Quinnen Williams, Alabama This should be the best remaining defensive player, which is Williams in this case. If he’s gone, Oliver or Devin White would make sense.

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: OLB Josh Allen, Kentucky The Bucs might also try to trade out, or go with a popular choice here in White. But with Allen available, they favor the position value of an edge rusher.

6. New York Giants: LB Devin White, LSU Even if Dave Gettleman has a quarterback he likes, it doesn’t appear he loves any of them.

Here, he sticks to his board and takes the best remaining player.

7. Jacksonville Jaguars: DE Montez Sweat, Mississippi State Jawaan Taylor or T.J. Hockenson would make plenty of sense, but Jacksonville loves pass rushers and likes to go best player available.

8. Detroit Lions: TE T.J. Hockenson, Iowa An edge rusher would fill a need, but Matt Patricia’s defense

doesn’t usually prioritize them.

Instead, the Lions grab a twoway tight end after nearly trading for Rob Gronkowski last year.

9. Buffalo Bills: DT Christian Wilkins, Clemson Most don’t have Wilkins in the top 10, but 315-pounders who can rush the passer don’t come along very often. He would be a nice consolation prize for a team that might be eyeing Oliver.

10. Denver Broncos: LB Devin Bush, Michigan Passing on top quarterback prospects in consecutive years could come back to haunt John Elway, but Bush fits right into Vic Fangio’s scheme. Denver would probably prefer White or Hockenson, if available.

11. Cincinnati Bengals: QB Drew Lock, Missouri In what is a mild surprise, both Lock and Haskins remain on the board. In this case, Zac Taylor passes on the Buckeyes star and rolls the dice on Lock’s upside.

12. Green Bay Packers: OT Jawaan Taylor, Florida Expect Green Bay to address the offensive line with at least one of its two first-round picks.

With Taylor available, the Packers get a successor to oft-injured Bryan Bulaga who can compete at guard in the meantime.

13. Miami Dolphins: DE Clelin Ferrell, Clemson Ferrell fits perfectly in the type of defense Brian Flores ran in New England. He can rush the passer but also sets a mean edge and is very technically sound.

14. Atlanta Falcons: DE Rashan Gary, Michigan With a reported shoulder issue and more potential than production on his resume, Gary could slide a bit. Dan Quinn pounces on one of the draft’s best athletes.

15. Washington Redskins: QB Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State Washington could wind up deciding between Rosen – who might cost only a second- or third-round pick via trade – or Haskins, who starred in high school in Maryland. If Haskins falls this far, he’d be difficult to pass up.

16. Carolina Panthers: OT Andre Dillard, Washington State Daryl Williams is back, but only on a one-year deal, and he

has an injury history. Between Dillard and Taylor Moton, Carolina would be in great shape on the edges.

17. New York Giants (from Cleveland): QB Daniel Jones, Duke Most signs suggest Jones is the Giants’ preferred option at quarterback, but not necessarily a slam-dunk option. Would they trade up slightly to get him, or hope he falls to No. 17?

18. Minnesota Vikings: C Garrett Bradbury, NC State It’s unclear how much influence Gary Kubiak will have on the offense, but Bradbury – the draft’s best center – would fit perfectly in Kubiak’s famed outsidezone-heavy scheme. Pat Elflein would bump to guard.

19. Tennessee Titans: OG Chris Lindstrom, Boston College Marquise Brown or an edge rusher would make plenty of sense, but the Titans need more athleticism on the interior. Head coach Mike Vrabel is well connected at Boston College.

20. Pittsburgh Steelers: OLB Brian Burns, Florida State Burns may well go earlier than 20, but in this case, he’s available.

The Steelers kept Bud Dupree into his fifth-year option, but he’s a free agent next March.

21. Seattle Seahawks: OL Jonah Williams, Alabama Seattle is normally a tradedown contender, but a mini trade-up for Burns would make sense if he slides. In this case, no edge rushers on the board stand out, but Williams is a nice consolation prize.

22. Baltimore Ravens: C Erik McCoy, Texas A&M A solid, scheme-versatile pivot, McCoy could fit the Ravens better than Bradbury, if both are on the board. Marquise Brown would also be tempting.

23. Houston Texans: OL Cody Ford, Oklahoma The Texans might prefer Dillard or Williams, but Ford should get a chance at right tackle. If they view him as a guard and the top tackles are gone, a corner would make sense here.

24. Oakland Raiders (from Chicago): RB Josh Jacobs, Alabama With so many defensive needs,

it would be bold for Oakland go running back (and tight end a few picks later?). But Jon Gruden just can’t help himself sometimes.

25. Philadelphia Eagles: DT Jeffery Simmons, Mississippi State Perhaps more than any other team, the Eagles believe in using first-round picks in the trenches.

Here, Howie Roseman bets big on one of the five best players in the draft hoping to have him at full strength in 2020.

26. Indianapolis Colts: WR Marquise Brown, Oklahoma Some might see Brown and T.Y. Hilton as redundant in the same offense, but Frank Reich’s options could really open up with one on the outside and one in the slot. Safety could also be a possibility.

27. Oakland Raiders (from Dallas): TE Noah Fant, Iowa Fant lacks nuance as as a route-runner and doesn’t have great natural hands, but his speed is a weapon that would help replace Jared Cook.

28. Los Angeles Chargers: CB Rock Ya-Sin, Temple Set at one cornerback spot (Casey Hayward) and in the slot (Desmond King), the Chargers take a swing at a rising talent to fill the No. 2 role.

29. Seattle Seahawks: WR A.J. Brown, Mississippi Could Brown go before workout-warrior college teammate D.K. Metcalf? Stranger things have happened. Doug Baldwin is 30 and has been very banged up.

30. Green Bay Packers (from New Orleans): WR D.K. Metcalf, Mississippi If Metcalf makes it this far, it would be tough for the Packers to pass, given their need for explosive playmakers on offense.

31. Los Angeles Rams: C Elgton Jenkins, Mississippi State Three centers in Round 1? You bet. Jenkins has been garnering buzz lately, and the Rams need help on the interior. They could try to target him in a trade down.

32. New England Patriots: DL L.J. Collier, TCU Collier plays exactly like a Patriot. He’s big, powerful and versatile – with some ability at end and at tackle – and is an excellent technician.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

For Young Nets, a season to remember ends with a night to forget Kelly Whiteside The New York Times News Service

PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid stood in the middle of the court, his arms outstretched, preening after an easy basket.

Following a rim-rattling slam, the Philadelphia 76ers star pointed at Brooklyn’s Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, whom he had embarrassed on the play.

Near the top of the 3-point arc, he paused, as if for effect, before drilling baskets like a sharpshooter a fraction of his size.

Through 48 brutal minutes for the Brooklyn Nets, Embiid found creative ways to humiliate them.

After four intensely competitive first-round playoff games between these two rivals, the Nets played arguably their worst game of the season Tuesday.

Facing elimination in Game 5 of the best-of-seven series, the Nets deflated like a balloon exhaling all its helium, losing 122-100.

Embiid scored 23 points in 20 minutes, finishing off one of the more memorable Nets’ seasons in forgettable fashion. The Sixers advanced to the

Eastern Conference semifinals for the second consecutive season and will face the Toronto Raptors.

The Nets, stunned by a 14-0 Sixers run in the opening minutes, ended their season without the fight and heart that had defined their improbable year.

“Only game of the season where I feel we never made a push back. I’m surprised we didn’t come out with more grit or more fight,” Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said. “We tried everything. Different lineup. Small. Big. Three-guard. One-guard. But nothing worked.”

At the season’s start, few expected the Nets to have a winning record, let alone reach the playoffs.

They were considered a rebuilding team without a star. A franchise still working to recover from a grievous deal in 2013, when the Nets traded their future for the Boston Celtics’ past — acquiring Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and two other players (along with a second-round pick) while giving up, in addition to some underwhelming veterans, three first-round picks and agreeing to a devastating draft swap in 2017 in which Brooklyn lost the rights to the No. 1 overall pick.

The deal resulted in the Nets having the bloated payroll of a superteam without a superteam to show for it.

In the first dozen games of this season, it looked as if Caris LeVert, a firstround pick in 2016, could be emerging as the team’s long-awaited star, and then a devastating ankle injury sidelined him for three months. But the Nets found the star they had been waiting for in a player another franchise had discarded.

The fall from grace in Los Angeles had been swift for D’Angelo Russell, the second overall pick in the 2015 draft, who went from being hailed as part of the Lakers’ young core to being sent to Brooklyn in June 2017 to facilitate a salary dump and to clear a spot for the team’s latest addition, Lonzo Ball. And the Lakers took shots at Russell on his way out the door.

“D’Angelo is an excellent player,” Magic Johnson, the Lakers’ president at the time, told reporters after drafting Ball. “He has the talent to be an AllStar. We want to thank him for what he did for us. But what I needed was a leader. I needed somebody also that can make the other players better and also that players want to play with.”

This season, Russell proved to be

precisely what Johnson desired: an AllStar, a leader and someone who made those around him better.

“I think he’s grown so much this year,” Atkinson said before Game 5.

“A lot of positive vibes to look forward to,” Russell said when it was over.

“Guys came into their own.”

For the Nets to continue their upward climb they would probably have to persuade Russell, who is a free agent this summer, to stay, as well as lure one of the league’s top free agents — Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving, Tobias Harris, etc. — to Brooklyn.

A selling point, for both Russell and any other player kicking the Nets’ tires in free agency, could be the way general manager Sean Marks handled himself after a tense Game 4 loss that produced a fight, two ejections and multiple fines.

Marks entered the referees’ locker room after the game, earning himself a $25,000 fine, and was suspended without pay for Game 5.

In a series that had grown testy because of physical play between Embiid and Brooklyn’s Jarrett Allen — as well as some poorly received comments about the Sixers’ Ben Simmons from Jared Dudley — Marks’ severe breach

of protocol sent a message to his players.

(In the final two minutes of Game 5, the series regained some of its feistiness, with shoving matches after a foul by the Sixers’ Jonah Bolden on Rodions Kurucs. The Sixers’ Greg Monroe and the Nets’ Dzanan Musa joined in. All four players were ejected.)

Marks has not addressed the specifics of what went on between himself and the officials, but it is likely that he was taking exception to a play in the final seconds of Game 4 in which Philadelphia’s Harris smothered Allen, forcing him to turn the ball over, which sealed the Nets’ loss. No foul was called on the court, but the league’s Last Two Minute report confirmed the next day that Harris had committed a foul.

That was not the end of the protest, however. The Nets’ co-owner, Joseph Tsai, received a $35,000 fine for posting criticism of the officiating on Twitter.

To Dudley, the show of support from the team’s front office was meaningful. “Players see it. Players in any organization, not just this one, want to play for a stable organization where the owner, general manager and coach are all aboard,” he told reporters.

Albany Academy 5, Ichabod Crane 2 ALBANY — In a rematch of last season’s Section II Class B championship game, Albany Academy broke up a tie game with three runs in the fifth inning en route to a 5-2 victory over Ichabod Crane in Tuesday’s Colonial Council baseball game.

With the scored tied 1-1 in the bottom of the fifth, Ben Farrell and Roberto Barron singled and Evan Kelley walked to load the bases. Michael Murtagh followed with an RBI single, Aidan O’Keefe reached on an infield error, chasing home another run and pinch-runner Vinnie Dehler scored on a wild pitch to make it a 4-1 game.

Farrell finished with two singles for the Cadets. O’Keefe and Murtagh each had a single and an RBI and Barron and Berkley Thompson both singled.

Austin Walsh doubled and drove in a run for the Riders (24). Rama Culver had two singles and Nick Pelesz singled.

Barron pitched 6 1/3 innings in earning the win, striking out six, walking three and allowing two runs and three hits. Connor Momrow finished

Carlton, Don Sutton, Nolan Ryan, Phil Niekro, Gaylord Perry, Tom Seaver, Randy Johnson, Bert Blyleven, Fergie Jenkins and Bob Gibson.

All are Hall of Famers except Clemens, whose ties to performance-enhancing drugs complicate his candidacy.

That list omits several big winners who led their league in strikeouts multiple times but finished short of 3,000, including Cy Young, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Christy Mathewson, Warren Spahn, Lefty Grove, Bob Feller and more.

For context, strikeout rates did not reach four per game until 1952, and they have risen each season since 2006, to 8.48

per game last season. Sabathia has never led the league in strikeouts, but he was an intimidator from the start.

“The first time I faced him in Cinergy Field in Cincinnati, he was a rookie for Cleveland and he struck me out three times,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “I fell down the third time swinging, and I was like, who is this guy?”

In his prime, which included winning the 2007 American League Cy Young Award, Sabathia would pound the strike zone confidently with fastballs around 95 mph. He has twice led the league in strikeoutto-walk ratio, and still threw more than 60 percent fastballs when he joined the Yankees in

2009.

“I talked to him the other day about his mentality back when he was throwing hard, how he attacked guys,” said left-hander James Paxton, a first-year Yankee. “He’s morphed and he’s still getting it done, that’s the most amazing thing. It’s hard to do, to change your game completely after being one type of way for a long time, and still do really well.”

In 10 innings this season, according to Fangraphs, Sabathia has thrown his fastball only 6% of the time, and more than half of his pitches have been cutters. He has not allowed an earned run, and his ERA since the start of the 2017

season is 3.55, compared with a major league average of 4.25 over the same time frame.

Sabathia may not be an inner-circle Hall of Famer like Rivera — the first unanimous selection — or many of those on the 250-and-3,000 list.

He packed most of his dominance into a seven-year window from 2006 through 2012, a relatively short peak, but he is probably among the top 50 starters in major league history.

Dependable, long-lasting starters like Sabathia are rare, and his evolution has allowed him to reach milestones worthy of the Hall. As it was for Mussina, the early seasons put Sabathia on the Hall of Fame

NON-LEAGUE Fort Edward 12, Germantown 2 FORT EDWARD — Hartford/Fort Edward scored four runs in the first inning and went on to post a 12-2 victory over Germantown in Tuesday’s non-league baseball game.

The Clippers (5-2) managed just five singles in the game — two by Jace Anderson and one each for Andrew Kellenbenz, Dan Kellenbenz and Jonathan Mollo. Dan Kellenbenz also had two RBI. Dean Ruzich started on the mound for Germantown and pitched 4 1/3 innings, striking out eight, walking two and allowing seven runs (two earned) and five hits. Victor Ruocco came on in relief and allowed five runs (none earned) and six hits with one strikeout in an inning and a third.

Peyton Ottens went the distance for Hartford/Fort Edward, allowing two runs and five hits with four strikeouts and two walks.

track, but to steer his way to Cooperstown, he had to find a different gear.

Boone called Sabathia a future Hall of Famer, but Sabathia said to check back after the World Series for a thorough reflection on his career.

He returned this season for one last chance at a championship, not to pad his statistics.

“It’s not for me to think about my place in history,” Sabathia said. “I just go out and play. That’s for everybody else to determine.”

History will judge Sabathia on the entire body of work, not just the years when his dominance came easily. History will be kind.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Honest teen upset as classmates win by cheating My son attends an excellent public high school and has done very well. His class is scheduled to graduate in a few weeks, and “Brent” has been accepted to an excellent university.

My concern is Brent routinely reports blatant and widespread cheating throughout DEAR ABBY the school. The valedictorian cheated his way to the top of the class, a neighbor will be attending Princeton even though she was repeatedly caught cheating on tests, and another neighbor cheated on the ACT to achieve a score disproportionate to her grades and SAT scores, which allowed her admission to a distinguished university.

The school turns a blind eye to the cheating and provides only nominal punishment in cases too blatant to ignore. Brent has become disenchanted and cynical about the administration and maintaining his integrity. What advice can I give my son when all around there are examples of cheaters coming out on top?

Not A Cheater

JEANNE PHILLIPS

The cheaters may have cut in line, but don’t view it as coming out on top. Point out to your son that sooner or later cheaters are usually unmasked when they arrive at college unprepared.

The best advice you can give Brent would be to hang onto his integrity, resist the temptation to become bogged down in what others are doing, and study hard because — sooner or later — excellence and ethics are recognized.

My wife, “Stella,” and I have been married 52 years. We have a daughter, “Candy,” who we adopted at 3 weeks old. By the time Candy was 12 or 13, she started having less-than-desirable friends and drinking alcohol with them. Long story short, she graduated from high school, got married, then divorced, married again and has two daughters she has never raised.

We have taken our daughter to psychologists since she was 14 or 15, paid for educational opportunities she didn’t complete and bought her several cars. She got into drugs and wound up in prison. Once out of prison, Stella and I sent her to three rehabilitation facilities. She walked away from the last two.

Our daughter is now 46. I am ready to stop trying to help her, but Stella, whom I love dearly, doesn’t seem to be able to stop. I feel we are being enablers and should let Candy deal with her choices without further support from us. Any thoughts or comments?

Over It In Oklahoma I agree with you. By now Stella should realize that whatever she does to help Candy won’t make her independent. Your wife may feel compelled to continue because she feels responsible for the way Candy has turned out, but the only person who can help Candy is herself.

Because this is causing discord in your marriage, you and your wife should discuss this with a marriage and family therapist who may be able to help Stella recognize that she has done enough for the daughter she so clearly loves.

Advice to a 7-year-old interested in becoming a doctor My 7-year-old grandson has a question: “How can I be a science doctor like you? Thank you, Colton Fancher from Florida” Being a doctor is great — I wouldn’t change it for any other job — but it isn’t right for everyone. It’s also a hard road that takes years of dedication.

TO YOUR The first part is the desire, and GOOD HEALTH it sounds like you have that already.

You mention science, and science is the cornerstone of medical doctors’ work. Clinical doctors like me (those who see patients) use science, but generally, we don’t create science. Research doctors create science, and a few people have chosen to be both clinical doctors and scientists — but only a very, very few are good at both.

Still, learning your science is something you can start now. I’d suggest you get some books from your library about science and see what part of science you like. As you get older, you can participate in science clubs and fairs. Participating outside of school is a powerful way of both showing your interest and helping you find out what you like.

All doctors have to be good communicators, so that means being a good writer and speaker. This is also a skill that takes practice. My English teachers inspired a love in me for reading and writing that continues. One of my high school English teachers reads my column (Hi, Shannon!), a fact

Clinician doctors in particular should be good with people. That means being a good listener, showing respect and taking the time to really getting to know people.

Do you like sports? Because being a good member of a team is increasingly important for doctors. You want to excel, of course, but you want to help your teammates excel as well. The dean of Hagar the Horrible the medical school I went to, Joseph Ceithaml, was well-known for admitting those students who participated in team sports.

Medical schools also want to see people who are well-rounded, and that means acquiring other skills and passions outside of school and science. Playing a musical instrument, making art of whatever kind you like, and finding other ways to express yourself creatively all are important in becoming a well-rounded person. Reading for fun can lead you into many different worlds and inspire passions, and you will learn a great deal about people from reading histories, biographies Zits and novels.

You might wonder where you find the time for all of this. It takes dedication, but it also means you make the most out of every day. Find worthwhile things to do. Academics, sure, as well as the other things I mentioned, but also develop close friendships. Try new things. And don’t waste too much time with things that you don’t enjoy and won’t help you achieve your goal.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are one of the most powerful individuals born under your sign, and yet there are times when you may not know quite how to control and direct that power to achieve the most desirable ends. You will almost always perform best when you are working closely with someone who knows you well and understands both your nature and your capabilities. This person is also able to direct your energies so you can maximize productivity and minimize any negative byproducts or your otherwise rather uncontrollable energies. Such a person is likely to be a friend for life and an invaluable collaborator on all manner of projects, whether personal or professional. He or she may well prove to be your best choice for a life partner, and together you can travel far and wide over the long haul.

There are those who may think you are a little out there, and there is something unconventional in your approach to work, play and all things. What someone else does without attracting much attention, you do in a way that puts you in the spotlight.

Also born on this date are: Al Pacino, actor; Renee Zellweger, actress; Jason Lee, actor; Talia Shire, actress; Meadowlark Lemon, basketball player; Oliver Cromwell, English statesman; Edward R. Murrow, newsman.

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 26 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You must be willing to work with those around you today. Beware of any attempt to take charge without consensus; you can be a steady influence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You may realize today that you’ve recently interpreted things back-

ward. You’ll have time, fortunately, to set everything straight by day’s end.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you will, and getting it done takes more than the mere desire to do so. You must get to work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — An unexpected opportunity comes your way before the day is out. You may not recognize that someone is quite jealous of you right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Agreement comes of knowing what is being spoken of, inside and out.

Until that happens, you’re not likely to make a lot of progress.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Your ability to see both sides of an issue comes in very handy today — though this doesn’t guarantee you’ll be on the winning side in the end.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You can assemble a great team, but you still might find yourself at a disadvantage simply because you joined the contest a little late.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You may be upset by something you cannot control; a friend gets you going in the right direction and restores your positive attitude.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You may feel that what is coming your way is unstoppable, but that is hardly true. You must dig, but you’ll find what you need deep within.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You may not know what’s going on all around you at every moment, but your instincts are keen, and you’ll be able to stop an imminent threat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may realize your influence is not as strong as you had thought.

Much can be done to correct this, and the first step is clear.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You can call the shots for a while today, but there will come a time when you will want to hand over control to someone with more experience.
