CATSKILL — A Schenectady man was killed Sunday morning when the tractor-trailer he was driving collided with a parked tractor-trailer and burst into flames on the New York State Thruway near Catskill, according to Thruway State Police. Thruway State Police confirmed Monday afternoon that Irinel Mladin-Kennedy, 51, was killed in the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Greene County Coroner Richard Vigilo. The driver of the parked

tractor-trailer was taken to the hospital for treatment, state police said. Michael E. Wolf, 63, of Red Lion, was transported to Albany Medical Center for non-life threatening injuries, state police Public Information Officer Tara McCormick said. Mladin-Kennedy was traveling north on the Thruway in Catskill when he rear-ended Wolf’s tractortrailer, which was parked on the shoulder at 5:38 a.m., McCormick said. “They went 100 feet down the shoulder and both caught on fire,” McCormick said.

Mladin-Kennedy’s tractor-trailer was carrying mail and Wolf was transporting coffee in his vehicle. The mail truck caught fire first and the impact caused the engine to burst into flame, Catskill Fire Chief Patrick McCulloch said. Both northbound lanes were closed until the accident was cleared at 1:07 p.m., McCormick said. It is unclear what caused MladinKennedy to veer off the road, McCormick said. “We may never know why,” she said. Due to the condition of the vehicle,

investigators may not be able to recover a cell phone to determine if texting was a factor, she said. “They will be reviewing statements from witnesses to see if there were patterns with his driving,” she said. An autopsy was performed by forensic pathologist Dr. Jeffrey Hubbard at 10 a.m. Monday at Ellis Hospital in Schenectady, Vigilo said. Toxicology results will be received in approximately two weeks, he said. State police, Catskill Ambulance and the Catskill and Kiskatom fire departments responded.

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday evening that a deal has been reached to pass the 2019-20 state budget. “This is probably the broadest, most sweeping state plan that we have done,” Cuomo said in a press conference Sunday. “There are a number of national firsts and it really grapples with the tough issues that

have been facing this state for a long time.” The 2019-20 state budget is a $175 billion spending plan that includes a $1 billion hike in school aid, criminal justice reform, the Green New Deal that seeks to make the state 100 percent carbon free by 2040 and an additional $500 million in funding for the Environmental Protection Fund, among other provisions. The budget also includes congestion pricing for

drivers entering sections of Manhattan and a plastic bag ban that will prohibit the use of most single-use plastic grocery bags beginning in 2020. Allyson Martino, of Ghent, said congestion pricing could negatively impact upstate businesses. “Congestion pricing probably won’t affect me but I am against it,” Martino said. “It is going to affect a See BUDGET A8

Parking woes beset ‘2nd business district’ By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Village officials are wrestling with an age-old dilemma: giving businesses on West Bridge Street, known by some as “Catskill’s second business district,” and the residents around them adequate parking. With businesses on the rise in the village and limited street parking occupied by employees and tenants, the board of trustees needs to explore other options, Village President Vincent Seeley said. The board has not decided on what path to take, Seeley said, but the issue is on its radar. “We will be expanding our focus over the next year on the corridor [West Bridge Street] between our historic

district and our box stores,” Seeley said Monday. Seeley asked the planning board to

Seeley noted. The board is considering a couple of options to address parking, Seeley said. “One option is to work with business owners to have their employees park away from the street and we will shuffle them back and forth,” Seeley said. An alternative is to reconfigure the parking altogether, Seeley said, adding that the village’s ability to do so will be limited because the road is also a state highway. “We will also be looking at the possibility of having parking meters,” Seeley said. “We’re at the beginning of figuring out what to do there.” Juice Branch owner Natasha Law is See PARKING A8

A White House whistleblower told lawmakers that more than two-dozen denials for security clearances have been overturned during the Trump administration, calling Congress her “last hope” for addressing what she considers improper conduct that has left the nation’s secrets exposed. Tricia Newbold, a longtime White House security adviser, told the House Oversight and Reform Committee that she and her colleagues issued “dozens” of denials for security clearance applications that were later approved despite their concerns about blackmail, foreign influence, or other red flags, according to panel documents released Monday. Newbold, an 18-year veteran of the security clearance process who has served under both Republican and Democratic presidents, said she warned her superiors that clearances “were not always adjudicated in the best interest of national security” — and was retaliated against for doing so. “I would not be doing a service to myself, my country, or my children if I sat back knowing that the issues that we have could impact national security,” Newbold told the committee, according to a panel document summarizing her allegations. Newbold added: “I feel that right now this is my last hope to really bring the integrity back into our office.” The allegation comes during an escalating fight over the issue between House Democrats and the White House. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the committee chairman, said in a letter to the White House Counsel’s Office that his panel would vote on Tuesday to subpoena at least one individual who overruled Newbold - the committee’s first compulsory move aimed at the White House. Cummings vowed more subpoenas would follow if the White House didn’t cooperate with his panel’s investigation. White House officials whose security clearances are being scrutinized by the House Oversight Committee include the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner and national security adviser John Bolton, according to the panel’s letter. The White House declined immediate comment on Monday, and Kushner’s legal team did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Trump administration has refused to comply with numerous document requests and inquiries Cummings has made on the topic over the past two years. Cummings identified the security clearance process as one of his top priorities after Democrats took the majority in the House last fall, but his panel has yet to receive a single document from the White House on the issue. “The Committee has given the White House every possible opportunity to cooperate with this investigation, but you have declined,” Cummings wrote in the Monday letter to White House counsel Pat Cipollone. “Your actions are now preventing the committee from obtaining the information it needs to fulfill its constitutional responsibilities.” Cummings later argued: “In light of the grave reports from this whistleblower - and the ongoing refusal of the White House to provide the information we need to conduct our investigation — the committee now plans to proceed with compulsory process and begin

DOUG MILLS/THE NEW YORK TIMES

From left, White House adviser Jared Kushner, acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley at the White House on March 27, 2019. President Donald Trump personally ordered his former chief of staff, John Kelly, to grant a security clearance last year to Kushner, his son-in-law and senior adviser.

authorizing subpoenas, starting at tomorrow’s business meeting.” The controversy, Democrats argue, strikes at the heart of their investigations into President Donald Trump. They believe Trump has abused his power and bent the rules to accommodate himself, his children and his allies. And the security clearance issue, they argue, is an example of how he has put his own desires before the interests of the nation. Multiple newspapers, including The Washington Post, reported that Trump early last year directed his then-chief of staff, John Kelly, to give Kushner a top-secret security clearance - a move that made Kelly so uncomfortable that he documented the request in writing, according to current and former administration officials. Newbold expressed fear in coming forward, telling the panel, “I’m terrified of going back. I know that this will not be perceived in favor of my intentions, which is to bring back the integrity of the office.” She said she has already faced retaliation for declining to issue security clearances and challenging her superiors as they sought to implement clearance-process changes she disagreed with during the Trump administration. Newbold said she was suspended without pay for 14 days in late January despite “no prior formal disciplinary action” in her nearly two-decade tenure. And when she returned, she was removed from her position as a “second level adjudicator” on security clearances and is no longer a direct supervisor. In her interview with the committee, which was conducted over a weekend, Newbold told the panel that she began keeping a list of employees whose applications were denied but were later given clearances despite concerns about their ties to foreign influence, conflicts of interests, questionable or criminal conduct, financial problems or drug abuse. That tally now reaches 25, she said, “including two current senior White House officials, as well as contractors and individuals throughout different components of the Executive Office of the President,” the letter says. Newbold named several superiors she took her concerns to, including: Director of Personnel Security Carl Kline; his immediate supervisor, Chief Operations Officer Samuel Price; White House Counsel’s Office; the assistant to the president Marcia Kelly; and Chief Security Officer Crede Bailey.

Newbold told the panel that she knew her denials of security clearances could be overruled. But she was initially concerned about a lack of documentation that went into those decisions and said those were made “without memorializing the risks they were accepting.” In the case of one top White House official, merely described as “Official 1” in committee documents, Newbold said Kline overruled her and another employee’s denial of an application amid concerns about foreign influence. But Kline, she said, “failed to address all of the disqualifying concerns listed by Ms. Newbold and the first-line adjudicator,” according to a committee summary of her response. Newbold said another agency contacted her and demanded to know “how we rendered a favorable adjudication,” expressing concern about the clearance issued to “Official 1.” Newbold also accused Kline of telling her to, in effect, stand down on concerns about another senior White House official, called “Official 2” by the panel. She said one of her colleagues wrote a 14-page summary of why they were planning to deny the application. But when she told Kline of her plan to agree with her colleague on the matter, Kline “instructed Ms. Newbold, ‘do not touch’ the case.” Kline later approved the security clearance, she said. Democrats have already identified Kline as one of the people they want to interview. In his letter to the White House, Cummings said the panel’s first subpoena would be to depose Kline, who now works for the Department of Defense. Newbold also accused Kline of trying to get her to change her recommendation for a security clearance denial for a “highprofile official at the National Security Council,” with whom she said Kline was in daily contact on the phone. “According to Ms. Newbold, Mr. Kline ‘called me in his office and asked me to change the recommendation. I said I absolutely would not,’ “ the committee wrote. She later added: “I then followed up this conversation with an email to him, letting him know that my reasoning for not changing my recommendation was not me being insubordinate; it was me highlighting that I stand behind my national security recommendation and that he in his position has the opportunity to override me, using the appropriate mitigators.” Newbold also told Kline that

he shouldn’t be talking with the individual trying to get the clearance because it was “unprofessional” and “it was opening up the door to hinder him from making a fair, unbiased recommendation.” “Official 3” is no longer at the White House, panel Democrats say. Newbold also raised concerns about new White House security clearance policies that she says put the nation at risk. For example, the White House security office no longer checks the credits of applicants, which she said keeps reviewers from knowing whether applicants could be susceptible to blackmail because of their debts. Newbold also said the White House was “getting out of control” with the number of interim security clearances awarded to White House officials who didn’t yet have permanent clearance status. Those temporary passes enabled aides to access classified information - including some sensitive information - for long periods of time. Some of those individuals never attained that clearance, Newbold told the committee. And in May 2017, another agency also complained about the practice, she added. Democrats defended Newbold’s credentials in their Monday memo and letter, noting that she had served both Democratic and Republican administrations. “During her interview with committee staff, Ms. Newbold repeatedly made clear that her concerns are based on national security — not on personal animus towards anyone in the White House,” Democrats wrote. Democrats said Newbold complimented Kelly, whom she said was “very receptive and understanding” of her concerns. Kelly later wrote a memo outlining his own concerns with the security clearance process. The committee in its Monday letter also revealed that it has also spoken with other whistleblowers about the security clearance process, suggesting Newbold’s story is unlikely to be the last. For now, however, the individuals were too afraid about the “risk to their careers to come forward publicly,” the panel wrote. The Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey and Tom Hamburger contributed to this report.

Catskill Animal Sanctuary opens April 6 SAUGERTIES — Mark your calendars for April 6 and 7 as Catskill Animal Sanctuary, the region’s beloved haven for farmed animals celebrates opening weekend! Visitors to the Sanctuary, open since 2001, will meet hundreds of rescued animals and sample vegan food demos prepared by award-winning chefs. “It’s our favorite time of year,” explains Founder Kathy Stevens. “People don’t expect affection from cows and pigs, and they certainly don’t expect friendly ducks, chickens and turkeys to climb into their laps. But that’s what happens here, and it’s often the beginning of a profound shift in people’s thinking.” Catskill Animal Sanctuary’s mission has always been to build a more compassionate world for all, and it does so not only through direct rescue, but through signature programs designed to encourage humanity to move towards plant-based living: vegan cooking classes, a free mentorship service for those looking to make more vegan choices, a summer day camp program, a wide offering of onsite events and festivals, and a

heart-warming, eye-opening tour experience for visitors. Led by knowledgeable tour guides, Sanctuary tours are “up close and personal,” allowing for an experience that’s tough to find in today’s world.

Visitors are joyfully disarmed by affectionate Sanctuary residents, like Jasmine, a pig who runs to the fence when her name is called, or Elery and Imogen, turkeys who fall asleep in guests’ laps.

celebrating those who come down the driveway to engage and to learn. “We’re all on a journey towards greater compassion,” says Tours Manager Kaden Maguire. “Our mantra, ‘Love Spoken Here,’ describes how we do the work.” All tours are child-friendly, with Family-Focused tours (specifically

designed with youngsters in mind) offered at 11 a.m. Day Passes are available for those who want to spend extra time exploring the Sanctuary’s grounds. But the Sanctuary experience doesn’t end when the last pig’s belly has been rubbed. Each tour finishes at Peabody’s Place (named after a beloved rooster who spent hours with guests) where Sanctuary chefs offer plant-based food demos and tastings of original recipes from the Sanctuary’s highly anticipated new cookbook (available for pre-order and arriving in May). Come with an open heart — and an appetite! Public tour season begins at 11 a.m. April 6. See website for details, www. casanctuary.org/visit. Tour season continues every Saturday and Sunday through the month of November. The cost is $12/person for adults, $8/ person for seniors, veterans, and children (under 13). Children under 3 are admitted free of charge.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Antonio Delgado (NY-19) cosponsored the bipartisan Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2019, which allows schools that participate in the School Lunch Program to buy flavored and unflavored whole milk for students. “Barring schools from purchasing whole milk for students unnecessarily deprives them of good nutrients,” Delgado said. “We all know that milk is important for our kids to drink, yet they’re drinking less of it in schools right now. Moreover, expanding milk options in schools empowers our local dairy farmers. I’m very pleased to sign on as a cosponsor to this bipartisan legislation.” For years, the School Lunch Program limited milk options available to students to low-fat unflavored milk and fat-free flavored milk.

were put in place, student participation in the School Lunch Program declined along with overall milk consumption in schools. The USDA took steps to remedy the issue in 2017 by allowing some schools to introduce low-fat flavored milk options, but did nothing to address the absence of whole milk offerings in schools. The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2019 would continue this progress by allowing schools to offer students flavored and unflavored whole milk options through the School Lunch Program. Delgado, a member of the House Agriculture Committee, has prioritized support for local, family farms in Congress. He recently announced his own 19th Congressional District Agriculture Advisory Board, including members from all 11 counties in the district.

The 19th Congressional District is the eighth most rural district in the country and the third most rural district represented by a Democrat. There are over 5,000 farms and over 8,000 farm operations in the district. During Delgado’s first in-district work period, he toured farms and sat down with local farmers to hear about localized infrastructure, technology needs, and sustainable farming practices.

OUR VIEW

Ending the plastic bag plague The two-handled plastic shopping bag has been with us for so long that two generations don’t remember groceries were once packed in square paper bags. But the plastic bag is cheap and it carries easily. They’re light and, except when they rip open by tooheavy loads, do the job. It’s where convenience ends that problems begin. Like the black plastic bag propelled willy-nilly by the wind in “American Beauty,” it begins a virtually indestructible new life as a polluter. Bags cling tenaciously to tree branches until they

shred into an ugly curtain resembling the X-ray of an inoperable cerebral blood clot. They block water and sewer drains, rivers and the oceans. They wash ashore like invading alien armies and form hideous conglomerates on beaches. Plastic is the unconquerable substance in modern society, but thanks to determined efforts by environmental advocates and some elected officials, the state is taking on the plague of plastic shopping bags. Lawmakers reached an agreement Friday to impose a statewide ban on most single-use plastic

bags from retail sales, a plan first proposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo a year ago. The plan was approved Sunday as part of the state budget and the ban will go into effect next year. The bill makes New York the second state in the nation to ban plastic shopping bags. California was the first, banning them in 2016. Hawaii does not have a statewide ban but each county in the state bans the bags. The law is on target. And its goal — a state free of suffocating shards of invincible plastic — could lead to bigger and better things.

ANOTHER VIEW

The international energy agency reported last Monday that global energy- related greenhouse emissions rose 1.7 percent in 2018. The robust global economy spiked demand for energy, which increased 2.3 percent, and fossil fuels met most of that demand. Global coal use ticked up 0.7 percent, almost entirely in China and India. In the United States, oil and natural gas consumption increased. The world must find a way to grow without supercharging greenhouse emissions. Another major contributing factor to the increase in energy demand was an uptick in heating and air conditioning in response to recordbreaking temperature anomalies in some areas. This suggests that global warming will create a vicious cycle in which temperature extremes encourage greater use of heating oil, electricity and other fuels to control interior environmental conditions. If greater use of heating and air conditioning results in more greenhouse emissions, the long-term need for artificial temperature regu-

lation will only increase. Breaking the link between economic growth and greenhouse emissions will require more effort than world governments are applying. That starts with the United States, which is the largest historical emitter of greenhouse gases. Republican views on climate change run from rank denial — President Donald Trump — to wellmeaning timidity — Sen. Lamar Alexander, RTenn., who just released a welcome but far-fromcomprehensive plan to boost clean-energy research. Democrats agree on the problem but are struggling to resist an unhelpful far-left takeover of climate policy. More importantly, they cannot legislate without greater GOP buy-in. But the time in which global warming could be construed as mainly a challenge for the big Western economies is long past. More than any others, China and India hold the climate’s future in their hands. China, the world’s largest current greenhouse-gas emitter, generates four times as much coal-fired electricity as the United States

does, and a major industrial group just proposed hiking that by a third. There is also evidence that building has resumed on coal-fired power plants on which the Chinese government had previously halted construction. India, meanwhile, is also boosting coal consumption, and it lacks China’s commitment to a vast increase in renewables. China and India face huge challenges in raising their millions out of poverty. But it would be foolhardy to do so at the expense of future generations’ wellbeing. Now would be the time for a global leader to pressure these governments to take the long view. But even if the U.S. president cared to do so, the United States lacks the moral authority because the federal government is doing far too little to cut emissions at home. The Paris agreement was supposed to provide a forum in which to pressure big emitters to clean up their act, but the United States has renounced the global accord. There is not much time left to change this picture.

U.S. can prosecute Khashoggi’s killers By Lee C. Bollinger Special To The Washington Post

The First Amendment permits any individual in the United States to criticize political leaders, in public, without fear of retribution from the state. Journalists, whose job may entail investigating public officials, are afforded additional protections. But what happens when a U.S.-based journalist’s work offends a foreign leader, who then turns vindictive? Should the journalist not expect the same protections? The question is not an academic one: This is the case of Jamal Khashoggi, the U.S.based Saudi Arabian dissident, author and contributing columnist for The Washington Post, who was unsparing in his criticism of the Saudi regime. Six months ago, on Oct. 2, he was tortured and killed at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul and, according to U.S. intelligence authorities, at the apparent direction of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Saudi government, after weeks of denials amid intense international criticism, eventually conceded that Khashoggi had been killed at the consulate, supposedly by rogue Saudi operators. The regime promised their prosecution - and then, nothing. In an ideal world, international conventions could be used to try the suspects in an international criminal court. But Saudi Arabia does not recognize the international criminal courts and has not signed on to relevant conventions. There is another solution. The deadly assault on Khashoggi — a legal resident of the United States, with children who are U.S. citizens — was also a brazen and an egregious assault against American values and against the First Amendment rights he exercised in this country. Federal prosecutors thus have an obligation to investigate and potentially bring a criminal case against Khashoggi’s killers. It would be somewhat novel to prosecute the slaying of a noncitizen abroad, committed by noncitizens — and there would be legal hurdles to overcome — but there are reasonable legal bases for a U.S. federal investigation and prosecution. Principles of international law caution against one country asserting jurisdiction to

prosecute crimes committed in other countries, but U.S. courts and international law recognize that extraterritorial jurisdiction — regarding crimes occurring outside the United States — can be warranted in certain circumstances. Extraterritorial jurisdiction may be appropriate, for instance, where a crime offends the vital interests of the prosecuting state. The slaying of a prominent journalist writing for a U.S. newspaper is a prime example of the sort of “censorship abroad” that, in today’s increasingly and inherently globalized discourse, undermines freedom of speech and the press here in the United States. Courts have also found extraterritorial jurisdiction for an offense that occurs in one country where the effect is felt in another (one example being shooting someone on the other side of an international border). And extraterritorial jurisdiction is considered appropriate for crimes such as piracy, terrorism and torture that are universally condemned by the international community — which the Saudis’ offense unquestionably was. Consider the case for a torture prosecution. The relevant federal statute criminalizes any act committed by a person acting “under color of law” — the legal term for when someone has the appearance of legal authority, even if they don’t have it — intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering. And the statute applies only to “acts of torture committed outside the United States.” Torture inside a foreign consulate is certainly sufficient basis for the FBI to investigate. International law recognizes that torture is so heinous a crime that countries have the responsibility to prosecute torturers within their borders, even if the crime is committed elsewhere. Whether a perpetrator of torture arrives in the United States voluntarily or involuntarily is immaterial; it only matters that he is “found” here. If U.S. authorities can arrange to capture the Saudi suspects and transfer them to the United States, they can be prosecuted for torture. This is not far-fetched; the United States has done it before. A second potential prosecutorial path would be a

federal civil rights case, based on a statute protecting individuals’ exercise of their constitutional rights. If two or more people conspire to “injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate” any inhabitant of the United States in the free exercise of constitutionally protected rights - and if death results — the perpetrators could face life in prison or be sentenced to death. Certain questions about the statute’s applicability in the Khashoggi case would need to be resolved, including whether the victim must be in the United States at the time of the offense if the victim is a noncitizen, but the statute’s legislative history strongly suggests that it would apply. Jurisdiction would be appropriate because of the vital U.S. interests implicated, and because the oppression of Khashoggi’s constitutional rights is felt in the United States, where he practiced his journalism. The case for U.S. jurisdiction would be bolstered if prosecutors could show that aspects of the crime took place in the United States - for instance, if the Saudis communicated with Khashoggi in the United States when luring him to their consulate in Istanbul. Aggressive prosecutors can even utilize incidental contacts such as wire transfers through U.S. banks to build a jurisdictional case for conspiracy. Federal prosecutors have undertaken investigations based on far less evidence than the Khashoggi case presents. So far, the United States has been largely negligent in responding to Khashoggi’s killing. That the perpetrators of this grotesque crime must be punished is obvious, but so is the United States’ obligation to defend the exercise of constitutional rights - especially freedom of speech and press. Both goals could be achieved by the practical and direct application of existing U.S. law. Anyone on U.S. soil, whether a high-profile journalist or an ordinary citizen who criticizes the powerful, needs to know that the government has the First Amendment’s back. Bollinger is the 19th president of Columbia University and the Seth Low professor of the university. He is the co-author, with Geoffrey R. Stone, of “The Free Speech Century.

Sherry Weaver-Chetrit Sherry Weaver-Chetrit passed away peacefully at home in Brooklyn, surrounded by her family, in the late afternoon of February 27th after a ive year battle with brain cancer. She was born on March 23, 1948 and grew up in a military family living in a number of states before settling down in Brooklyn, NY. She became an integral member of the Park Slope community and it provided her a sense of belonging that had eluded her up to that point. Second only to Brooklyn, was a home she had in Livingston, NY in Columbia County. She spent her summers there tending a spectacular garden and throwing memorable parties for visitors and locals alike. Sherry burst on the storytelling scene in 2001, telling a story at The Moth. She mined her life to tell stories of troubling events in such a way as to be hilarious. Storytelling proved to be as therapeutic to her, as it was entertaining for others. She ended up developing and delivering dozens of stories. She began her own storytelling venue, Speakeasy, Stories from the Back Room, which became a huge success, providing a space for amateur storytellers. She ended it after ive years, at the height of its success, because “it was time”. Sherry was a force of nature. Her love of people was contagious and her love of children absolute. She was a nanny for several years in her youth, had

four children of her own, and two children that she fostered for a number of years. She delighted in caring for her ive grandsons and niece, as well as the children of friends, taking them on various adventures. Notable were two trips to France: she arranged for her young half-sister to attend a family trip in 1986 and later took her niece and the child of a family friend in 2015. She approached the dire diagnosis of glioblastoma with her characteristic optimism and fortitude. One month after brain surgery, she planned and executed a hugely successful birthday party for her niece. During the tumor’s four year remission, she lived life to the fullest, and her opinions and unique character became even stronger than ever. Sherry was preceded in death by her beloved son, Paul. She is survived by her partner Ellis in Brooklyn, sister Camille in Manhattan, brother David in Alabama and half-sister Mary Ann in Chicago. Surviving children include Krista in Red Hook, NY and Mark and Claire, who both live in Brooklyn, as well as ive grandsons. She will be missed. May she rest in peace. In lieu of lowers, a gift can be made to The Moth Education Program. Checks (with Sherry’s name in the memo) can be sent to The Moth, Attn.

Bradford Gordon Delp Bradford Gordon Delp passed away on Thursday, March 28, 2019 after a brave and short battle with cancer at Columbia Memorial Hospital. Born January 21, 1946 in Catskill, he was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. L. Gordon Delp. Brad served honorably in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War. He worked for Ravena Welding, Aquatic Development and Universal Metal Fabricators as a welder and fabricator. He was an avid motorcyclist for 38 years. Brad is survived by his loving wife and best friend Donna Coe Delp, daughter Wendy Meyers (Jody)of Leeds, sister Judith M. Delp of Greenport, the light of his life – his precious granddaughter Abby, several nieces and nephews and his two brother in-laws Arthur Coe (Ann) of Germantown and Howard McK-

Interment with full military honors will take place immediately following the service in the family plot of the Riverside Cemetery, Coxsackie, NY. There will be a luncheon at The Pegasus Restaurant in Coxsackie to celebrate Brad’s life immediately following the interment. In lieu of lowers, the family would like donations to be made to Columbia-Greene Community Hospice or St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Condolences may be made at www.richardsfuneralhomeinc.net.

House Democrats prepare subpoenas to see full Mueller report By Jennifer Haberkorn Los Angeles Times (TNS)

WASHINGTON — A House committee plans to vote Wednesday on whether to authorize subpoenas for special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s full report, underscoring how aggressively Democrats will pursue its release in a potential showdown with Atty. Gen. William P. Barr. The decision comes after Barr said Friday that he would provide a redacted version of the report to Congress in mid-April, “if not sooner,” blowing past a Tuesday deadline set by the House. The House Judiciary Committee’s subpoena vote, which is expected to be successful, would authorize chairman Jerrold Nadler (DN.Y.) to issue the subpoena in the future. In announcing the subpoena vote Monday, the committee said the timing would be at Nadler’s discretion. “Attorney General Barr has thus far indicated he will not meet the April 2 deadline set by myself and five other committee chairs, and refused to work with us to provide the full report, without redactions, to Congress,” Nadler said. “The attorney general should reconsider so that we can work together to ensure the maximum transparency of this important report to both Congress and the American people.” Democrats in the House have said they won’t accept a redacted report or a classified briefing, arguing that they don’t want a “sanitized” version of what Mueller worked on for nearly two years. Thus far Barr has only released a four-page summary of the report. According to Barr, Mueller concluded that the Trump campaign did not illegally collude with Russia to interfere with the 2016 campaign, yet made no decision about whether the president tried to illegally obstruct government inquiries into his actions. Barr and House Democrats appear headed for a dispute over whether the information in the report that came from grand jury testimony can go to Congress. Barr said last week that he is in the process of redacting the report of grand jury information as well as personal information, material the intelligence community says would compromise sources and methods, and information that could affect ongoing matters. House Democrats argue that Congress has a right to review information from grand jury testimony and pointed to prior circumstances in which Congress received similar material. Congress received grand jury material during Watergate – and kept it confidential for decades — as well as in the Starr report on President Clinton. “To the extent that the attorney general is now undertaking a very elaborate process to redact grand

jury information out of the special counsel’s report, the House Judiciary Committee held grand jury material in complete confidence for 45 years and only talked about it at all after a federal judge unsealed that roadmap late last year,” said a House Democratic aide. The House Judiciary Committee could ask a judge to unseal the grand jury-related information, but has suggested that Barr could make a joint request with Congress. Barr said he would be willing to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 1, which Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) accepted. Barr said he would appear before the House Judiciary on May 2, but Nadler has not agreed to that date. The House Judiciary Committee is also expected to authorize subpoenas for five individuals who received document requests from the committee last month. The panel will vote on subpoenas for former White House strategist Stephen Bannon, communications director Hope Hicks, White House counsel Donald McGahn, counsel Ann Donaldson and former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. All of them, the committee said, may have received documents from the White House relevant to Mueller’s investigation. Last month, the committee demanded documents from 81 people in Trump’s orbit as part of its investigation into obstruction of justice, public corruption and abuses of power by the president and people around him.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Blood donation parameters while fighting cancer Dear Warriors, I want to start off by giving an answer to a question one of my readers asked. The reader wanted to know if they asked a question do they have to submit their name. I want everyone to know I believe in total confidentiality for anything you submit to me. I allow warriors who are giving their stories to have the choice of giving their name, only using first name, initials or not using a name at all. I have spoken to warriors going through cancer and only knew their first name. My sole purpose is to help any way I can. Now that being said, Andre asked me, “Can people who have had cancer donate blood”? According to The American Cancer Society, “… there have been no reports of cancer transmission by blood transfusion.” To check this, a group of researchers looked back in time at people who had received blood from donors who had developed cancer within five years of giving the blood. They found no increased cancer risk in those who got blood from those who were found to have cancer soon after donating. This suggests that the chance of getting cancer from a blood donor with cancer is extremely small, if it exists at all. Even if cancer cells were present in donated blood, the immune system of the person getting the blood would destroy the cells. A possible exception might be in transfusion recipients with weakened immune systems, who might not be able to fight off the cancer cells. Because of this slight possibility, people whose cancer is thought to be growing or spreading are not allowed to donate blood for other people. You cannot donate blood for other people if: You are being treated for

CANCER KICKIN’ WARRIOR

INEZ

WHITEHEAD-DICKENS cancer Your cancer is spreading or has come back You have had leukemia or lymphoma as an adult (including Hodgkin’s Disease) You have ever had Karposi sarcoma Different blood collection centers may have slightly different standards for allowing cancer survivors to donate. For example, the American Red Cross allows most people who have had cancer to donate if the cancer was treated at least one year ago and the cancer has not come back. (The time can vary at different blood centers.) Potential donors whose cancers had not spread (in situ cancers) and required no further treatment besides surgery to remove the cancer may need to wait only until they’ve healed from their surgery and feel well again to donate blood”. Very Well Health goes a little deeper: “The American Red Cross does allow some people with a history of cancer to donate blood but they must meet the following requirements: You must wait at least 12 months following the completion of treatment to donate your blood. You cannot have had a recurrence of cancer. If you are currently in treatment, then you are ineligible to donate.

The American Red Cross notes that those treated for low-risk in-situ carcinomas like basal cell carcinomas or squamous cell carcinoma, do not need to wait 12 months after treatment. Women who have had a precancerous cervical condition can donate provided their cancer was successfully treated. If you have ever had lymphoma or leukemia or any other blood cancer as an adult, then you cannot donate your blood to the Red Cross. Adults who had these cancers as children can donate, as long it has been 10 years since treatment and the cancer has not recurred.” If you have had cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure you can’t donate a kidney. Remember this is not only for the protection of the recipient; but also the donor. Now for all the reasons above, you must give an honest history of your health if you want to donate blood. Not to discourage anyone from donating blood (God knows we need donors), if you have had chemotherapy or radiation, your immune system may be depleted. Usually five years is the benchmark for reoccurrence of cancer. So warriors, you are admirable to even consider giving blood; but you must consider your own health first.

Columbia Memorial Health now offering 3-D Mammography HUDSON — Columbia Memorial Health announced it is now offering advanced, lifesaving 3-D mammography at its Catskill and Hudson campuses. The leading edge imaging technology generates a three-dimensional picture of the breast, giving providers a more complete view of tissue compared to conventional two-dimensional mammogram images. Several studies have found 3-D mammography to be more effective than conventional mammography in identifying cancers earlier, which can lead to more effective and less aggressive treatments that yield better outcomes for patients. It is particularly more effective with denser tissues, and has been found to reduce the number of false positives. “This technology is at the leading edge of medicine and is a true game-changer in the detection and treatment of breast cancer,” said Dr. Tariq Gill, CMH’s Chief of Medical Imaging. “More than 100 women from Columbia and Greene counties are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. This technology will help us detect these cancers earlier, giving our patients earlier access to treatment options that are most effective and best suited to their needs. “We believe this technology absolutely will save lives through earlier detection,” Dr. Gill said. The acquisition of the 3-D technology was made possible in part through the generosity of community members

April is Alcohol Awareness Month By Helen M. Exum, BS, Senior Prevention Educator, Twin County Recovery Services, Inc. For Columbia-Greene Media

“I was born 15 months after my sister. We were exact opposites and when we were younger, we had the most amazing argument on a regular basis but would have given our lives for each other. Although as we grew older we lived far from each other; we would talk for hours, 4 or 5 times a week. No matter what kind of day I had, I could call her and we would end up laughing hysterically. She was my best friend. I can’t do that anymore. I still go to the phone after a hard day, but in November 2018, she died rather unexpectedly. They say she had severe pneumonia and that all of her organs shut down. But she died of years of alcoholism and poor self-care. When she was young, she was a member of MENSA: but all the intelligence in the world couldn’t get her to stop drinking. I’ve worked in the addiction field for 41 years; I couldn’t get her to stop drinking either.” — Beth Schuster, Executive Director, Twin County Recovery Services, Inc. Dad was a weekend drunk. Fear of his verbal abuse becoming physical caused

great anxiety for me, my sister and my mother. I was an athlete in school and feared he would show up drunk for one of my games. I was mercifully spared that humiliation, but the shame of his alcohol abuse was the ghost in my closet that haunted me. He stopped drinking quite suddenly, and by the time I left for college he had been clean and sober for 2 years. We never talked about the “problem.” We buried our feelings about the experience deep in our sub conscious minds and went about our lives. — Interview with Robert J. Exum I never knew my father. He was an alcoholic. Mother threw him out before I was born. Nevertheless, his alcoholism had profound effects on me and my siblings. We lived in abject poverty, often hungry. We worked from the time we were little kids. My older siblings left school in fifth grade to work in factories. We were shunned by the community. Shame and humiliation colored our perception of ourselves and what we could hope to become as adults. More than anything I wanted to get away from this environment and to fly. I finished school and became an Air Force fighter pilot. — Alfred R. Bouley as told to Helen

M. Exum April is Alcohol Awareness Month. How aware are you? These poignant personal stories illustrate the tragic fact that alcohol abuse hurts everyone on some level; physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological or financial. Alcohol doesn’t discriminate. It can affect anyone; young or old, rich or poor, the professor or the drop out. Alcohol destroys lives. It kills. No one is spared the pain and suffering that accompanies alcohol abuse. Family members desperately need help dealing with the trauma they experience. Organizations like AlAnon, and Alateen provide support for these victims. No one needs to feel alone or helpless. Alcohol abuse impacts individuals, families and communities. It’s an age-old story. There are many ways to access recovery: clinical treatment, 12-step programs, a return to one’s faith, and peer counseling are available in our communities. Don’t go it alone. Reach out for help. Call Twin County Recovery Services Inc. at 518-828-9300 or 518-843-2036 or Greener Pathways at 518-291-4500 or 518-610-8703.

Tyson relays sexual assault allegations against Fairfax Fenit Nirappil The Washington Post

Vanessa Tyson, who has accused Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault, demanded his resignation and called his attempts to compare himself to lynching victims “disgraceful” during an interview with CBS “This Morning” on Monday. Tyson, one of two women to accuse Fairfax of sexual assault, wants the state legislature to hold a public hearing on their claims. The CBS program plans to air an interview with the second woman, Meredith Watson, on Tuesday morning. They are the first televised interviews with the two women and come as Virginia lawmakers head to Richmond on Wednesday to complete their legislative session.

Budget From A1

lot of upstate deliveries that go into the city, like the farmers. I think it will be very bad for business and it will hit farmers really hard.” Rich Peters, of Athens, supports the ban on plastic bags. “I am glad they are banning plastic bags,” Peters said. “Plastic doesn’t disintegrate — it stays for years and years, and when you go to places where they don’t clean up, you see it all over the side of the road. You can just use reusable bags.” Also included is $10 million in funding for counties to allow for early voting, as well as a “state election holiday” that will give all workers three hours off in paid leave time in order to vote. “This was not an easy one. It was a hard one,” Cuomo said of the budget. “But the hard ones are the good ones, by definition. It’s easy to leave the hard issues on the side. It’s easy. And that’s why they are hard issues. Because they were put aside year after year after year after year. Why? Because nobody wanted to pick them up. Because they were controversial and hard. Yeah, we are here to do the hard ones, because those are the ones that need to be achieved.” The budget does not make provisions for the legalization of marijuana, an issue that had been on the table. Ellen DeLucia, of Catskill, said she favors the legalization

Parking From A1

less affected by the parking issue than other businesses, she said. “I don’t have anyone next to me,” Law said. “Further down the road, they have more of a problem.” Building a new lot is not an option, said Law, who was elected to a trustee post March 19. “There is not anywhere to build a parking lot,” she said. “We need to find [existing] parking and shuttle people around.” Seeley proposed a similar idea in his campaign for reelection in March. “A GEM car is a road-legal, fully electric vehicle with the ability to take up to six passengers,” Seeley said last month. “These could be used to shuffle people from parking lots or for tours of our village. Cost per ride would be around two bucks and businesses could pre-purchase their tokens for their customers.” Winkle’s Bakery owner Eric Delage prefers West Bridge Street to Main Street. “The parking is better than Main Street,” he said. “Even with the municipal lots you have to walk a quarter-mile to get anywhere.” Having adequate parking villagewide is a priority, Seeley added.

The women made their allegations public in early February, when it appeared that Fairfax might succeed Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam who was embroiled in his own scandal connected to a racist photo from his past and his admission that he wore blackface as a young man for a dance contest. “I’d want him to resign,” Tyson, now a professor in California, said of Fairfax, a Democrat. “I think the Virginia people, the voters of Virginia, have a right to know, you know, both my story and Meredith’s story.” Fairfax has denied both assault allegations, saying the sexual encounters were consensual. On Sunday, Fairfax’s representatives released a lengthy statement that said he voluntarily took and passed two polygraph tests that

“demonstrate that the accusations made against the lieutenant governor are false.” “My accusers have not filed criminal charges and they have not sued me,” Fairfax said in a statement to CBS. “Instead, we see escalating media appearances and stated desire for a political process that is unprecedented in Virginia and could not be designed to get at the truth. Such a process would instead be a media circus used for partisan and political purposes.” In her interview with CBS’s Gayle King, Tyson recounted in detail her encounter with Fairfax at a Boston hotel room during the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Tyson said she and Fairfax connected because of a mutual friend, and she considered him

“harmless.” She said he invited her back to his hotel room so he could pick up paperwork. Tyson said their encounter inside the room began as consensual kissing, but then he forced her to perform oral sex. “The next thing I know my head is like literally in his crotch and I’m choking and gagging and I couldn’t say anything because I’m choking and gagging,” said Tyson, tearful with her voice breaking. “I didn’t know what to say. I was just completely caught off guard. It was almost as if I was dumbstruck.” Tyson said she avoided Fairfax after the incident and rebuffed his attempts to contact her. Fairfax disputes this, and has said Tyson reached out to him at a later date, saying she

wanted him to meet her mother in New York. Tyson said she did not tell anyone about the assault until recently. “I was so ashamed,” Tyson said. “I was so humiliated on so many levels. I was this woman working at a rape crisis center, trying to, as a survivor speaker, trying to empower survivors of sexual assault. And it was like I had just walked into a trap.” In his statement to CBS News, Fairfax, a lawyer, said women have a right to be free from assault. “I am, and have long been, a strong proponent of the rights of women in our society — among them equal rights, reproductive rights, economic rights, the right to be heard and respected, the right to fair access to the criminal justice

system, and right to be free from disrespect, harassment, and assault,” he said. “At the same time, I also believe that we must find a way to ensure that our justice system and even the court of public opinion provide due process and fairness both to accusers and the accused. I, for one, stand accused of crimes that I did not commit.” The lynching comparison drew a sharp rebuke from Tyson in her interview. “I find it disgraceful, irresponsible and manipulative,” Tyson said. “Sexual assault should never be a racial issue. It should never be a partisan issue. Sexual assault is an epidemic taking place around the world, across the country every day.”

of marijuana for adult use. “I want to pass marijuana for adult use,” DeLucia said. “Alcohol is legal and far more detrimental. Very few people will start marijuana just for kicks, whereas with drinking, because it is such a social thing and people are exposed to it so much, many people’s lives have been ruined by it. Having this evil shroud hanging over marijuana is ridiculous because this is far less harmful and I don’t see that people will become heavy drug users and go out of control.” Felipe Gonzalez, of Greenport, favors the legalization of marijuana. “They should legalize it because it’s crazy not to. There is a lot of money that can be made in taxes,” Gonzalez said. With a $175 billion budget, local officials are still trying to figure out the specific impacts on the Twin Counties. “We are still determining how Columbia County will be impacted,” said Matt Murell, chairman of the Columbia County Board of Supervisors. “There is a lot in it that we still aren’t very clear on. For instance, it looks like AIM (Aid and Incentives for Municipalities) will be coming out of the internet sales tax and the impact on the county is unclear. For the plastic bag law, counties can opt in or opt out for a 5-cent fee on paper bags, so we will have to have a conversation about that.” Murell said there are some positive line items in the budget that he can point to at this early stage. “I am pleased they are putting $10 million into operating

costs to implement voting reforms and $14.7 million for the purchase of electronic poll books that people sign when they go in to vote,” Murell addded. “That is good because counties were afraid they would have to bear that cost and it would have been another unfunded mandate. There is a lot here and we need clarification.” Not everyone is pleased with the budget’s outcome. Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-102, said the budget does not deal with the issues New Yorkers care about most. “Banning plastic bags while protecting criminals, undocumented immigrants and corrupt politicians is the story of the 2019-20 budget,” Tague said. “There’s nothing serious in here about helping hardworking families or providing real relief to struggling business owners.” Tague said he approved of one component of the budget, but that it’s not enough. “While I’m pleased to see the real property tax cap being made permanent, it’s a sole breath of fresh air in the stagnant atmosphere of Albany politics that includes cuts to the winter recovery fund, AIM funding lower than needed, and protecting the arrest records of criminals, but I guess that’s what you get in a oneparty government.” State Sen. Daphne Jordan, R-43, said she opposed the new taxes that were included in the budget. “My Senate Republican colleagues and I voted against Gov. Cuomo and the Senate Democratic Majority’s bad

budget because it included over a billion dollars in new taxes that will hurt families and make our state less affordable,” Jordan said. “The Democrats’ bad budget contained $1.4 billion in new taxes this year, $4.6 billion in new taxes next year, and a welfarefor-politicians’ scheme that gives $100 million in tax dollars to politicians to fund their nasty political campaigns. The Democrats’ budget was full of new taxes on internet purchases, shopping bags, prescription drugs, energy, and a new commuter tax.” Jordan was also against the budget’s provisions to support undocumented immigrants, and said the budget will push people and businesses out of the state. “In addition, their plan imposes more mandates to drive up local taxes, gives $27 million to illegal immigrants for free college tuition, and included a radical new plan to reduce sentences for illegal immigrants who commit crimes, for the sole purpose of helping them avoid deportation,” Jordan said. “The Democrats’ bad budget will hurt taxpayers and make it more difficult for our families, senior citizens, and small businesses to stay in New York.” Greene County Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger, RNew Baltimore, said he wanted to see the specifics of the budget before determining how it would affect the county. “Until we get the whole thing and see what was actually passed, we won’t know how it affects Greene County,” Linger said. “Right now it

doesn’t look like there is additional funding for roads. There is a lot to look at and see how it will affect us. The biggest thing is how many new unfunded mandates were passed.” Michael Kracker, executive director of Unshackle Upstate, a nonpartisan advocacy group consisting of businesses and trade organizations from upstate New York, saw both good and bad in the budget. “The enactment of a permanent 2 percent property tax cap is a massive win for hardworking taxpayers across New York state,” Kracker said. “We’ve been advocating for this measure for more than a decade and we’re grateful that Gov. Cuomo and the members of the Legislature finally delivered on the promise to keep the cap for good.” But Kracker also pointed to mandates and “billions of dollars in new taxes, fees and assessments” that could be a burden to businesses and taxpayers. “There’s nothing fair about that,” Kracker said. Jeremy Cherson, legislative advocacy manager for the environmental group Riverkeeper, applauded the state’s additional funding for projects aimed at cleaning up the environment. “Gov. Cuomo, Speaker [Carl] Heastie and [Senate] Leader [Andrea] StewartCousins deserve thanks for funding the first $500 million installment of the new $2.5 billion for critical clean water projects,” Cherson said in a statement. “This builds upon the historic investment of the 2017 Clean Water

Infrastructure Act that has supported hundreds of millions of dollars in local projects to improve water quality and protect drinking water across the Hudson River Estuary.” Cherson also said Riverkeeper was “thrilled” about the statewide ban on singleuse plastic bags and encouraged the state to take it a step further. “This is a huge win for clean water, as every day the plastic pollution problem worsens,” Cherson said. “We encourage local government to opt in to the crucial fee on paper that will encourage consumers to use reusable shopping bags.” The budget does nothing to create needed jobs for New Yorkers or make the state more affordable, state Sen. George Amedore, R-46, said. “This state budget does nothing to make New York more affordable. It includes nearly $6 billion in new taxes and fees, leading to higher costs in the grocery store, on your energy bills, for prescription medications and on our property tax bills,” Amedore said. “Yet, our upstate schools are not fully funded, our upstate roads and bridges are shortchanged and we continue to shift costs and burden our local governments with unfunded mandates. “It’s a bad budget that doesn’t help create one new job, will hit our seniors and small businesses particularly hard, and won’t make our communities any safer,” Amedore said. “This budget is a confirmation of the reasons that so many New Yorkers continue to flee our state.”

One section of West Bridge Street is considered too narrow to have parking spots, Delage said. “Maybe there could be a project to widen the street so we could add parking spots,” he said. Bridge Street Theatre coowner John Sowle had to compensate for the limited parking from the get-go, he said. Parking for theater events is often available in the Catskill High School lot. “We have an agreement with the high school for our events,” Sowle said. “We don’t have an issue unless there is an event at the high school.” The theater had to address parking as part of its review with the planning board, Sowle said. “The superintendent was gracious enough to give us permission,” he said. Other businesses were affected by the parking situation. “A restaurant was supposed to be going into the empty building across from us,” Sowle said. One of the reasons the project fell through was people would not have a place to park. Sowle said he hopes the dilapidated apartment building next door would be knocked down and replaced with a parking garage. “Now it is being turned into an Airbnb,” Sowle said. The nearest lots are the county parking lot and one

near Mountain T-Shirts, Sowle said. “The county lot can be used for night-time parking,” he said. The other lot is not advertised as public parking, Sowle said. “With more businesses coming in, parking will become more of a problem,” Sowle said. Attracting businesses is one of the village’s goals for the year. A representative from a marketing firm will make a presentation at the board’s April 10 meeting about the village’s rebranding project, Seeley said. The project will develop a unified image for the village to help attract new businesses and visitors, Seeley said last week. “There are so many facets of who we are and what we offer,” Seeley said. “We need to package it and make it digestible.” A portion of the project could be funded by U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, Seeley said. Although parking relief remains to be seen, West Bridge Street residents and business owners will travel on a better road this year, according to the state Department of Transportation. Greene County Highway Superintendent Robert Van Valkenburg announced Feb. 11 that the Greene County Legislature’s request to have Route 385/Spring Street and

West Bridge Street repaved up to Route 9W was accepted into the department’s 2019 schedule. “DOT plans to pave approximately 1.4 miles on Route 385 in Greene County between the

intersections of Route 9W and Route 23,” DOT spokesman Bryan Viggiani confirmed in February. “Project design and costs are still under development, but we anticipate the project to begin sometime in

late 2019.” Catskill legislators Matthew Luvera, Michael Bulich and Jack Keller, and Cairo legislator Harry Lennon lobbied for work to be added to DOT’s schedule.

HUDSON — Sophomore Vic Gorman fired a four-hit shutout in his varsity pitching debut to lead Hudson to an 180 victory over Green Tech in Friday’s Patroon Conference baseball game at ColumbiaGreene Community College. The game was stopped after five innings because of onclement weather. Gorman struck out nine and didn’t walk a batter in helping Hudson earn its second victory in as many days. He also stroked a pair of singles and drove in a run. Zack Bernockie added a double and three RBI to Hudson’s cause.

GREENPORT — The ColumbiaGreene Community College softball team remained unbeaten after sweeping Finger Lakes Community College in Saturday’s Region III doubleheader at the Greenport campus. The Twins (6-0) took the opener, 10-2, and completed the sweep with a 17-4 victory in the nightcap in a game that was shortened to five innings because of the mercy rule. Holly Kleinmeier led C-GCC in the first game, belting a double and single and driving in three runs. JEnna Poulsen and Hannah Mawyin each had two singles, Baylee Cox a single and two RBI, Kaylee Hoffman and Sydney Spohler a single and an RBI apiece and Claire Filak and Jaci Gehring an RBI each. Hoffman was the winning pitcher, striking out two, walking one and allowing two runs (1 earned) and eight hits. Kelsey Taylor doubled, singled twice and knocked in two runs to spark the Twins in the second game. Hoffman had a double and single and three RBI, Jaci Gehring two singles and four RBI, Poulsen a double and three RBI, Kleinmeier a single and three RBI, Cox a single and two RBI

Mason Tamburro (center) carved out a piece of Martial Arts history by earning the prestigious 1st Degree Black Belt on Wednesday, March 19, 2019 at the Hudson Martial Arts Academy. Sticking to a training commitment involving three classes a week with additional studying and research, Tamburro successfully worked his way the belt system with advanced discipline to become the youngest Black Belt in the Academy’s past 54 years. One additional incentive was the agreement between he and his father (Frank Tamburro, Jr.), to continue training together. Their first class together was Tuesday, March 26, 2019. Tamburro proudly displays his new black belt surrounded by a wealth of support (l tor) Forrest Johnson, Raphael Boccagna, Michelle Cotsonas, Chris McEvoy, Wilder Johnson, co-head trainer Jim Funk, Dan Jones, co-head trainer Dan Grant, Tom Carlucci, Cody Falkner and Charles Cotsonas.

GERMANTOWN — Germantown Central School District may not have a swimming program — or even a pool —, but that hasn’t stopped Kian Olsson from becoming one of the best swimmers in the Northeast. After just three years of actively participating in aquatic competitions, the fifth grader heads out to Webster, NY to compete in the Eastern Zone Championships this week. Kian initially began his journey in the pool like many others, joining an area swim program. Kian’s father, Les, went to school with one of the coaches in the program, who urged Kian to join the Northern Dutchess Aquatic Club (NDAC), which calls Bard College home. Under the guidance of head coach Kevin Storrs and

The Kansas City Star

Survival of near-elimination experiences is a common thread running through this year’s Final Four field. Not just winning four games to reach college basketball’s biggest stage, with the national semifinals set for Saturday in Minneapolis — Virginia-Auburn and Texas Tech-Michigan State — but the heart-stopping fashion in which some of the outcomes were determined, even down to the final ticks of regional-title contests. Michigan State dramatically ended the season of tournament favorite Duke and national player of the year Zion Williamson with a 68-67 triumph in the East Region final Sunday. Kenny Goins’ 3-pointer with 25 seconds remaining gave the Spartans a two-point lead, and the Blue Devils’ RJ Barrett made one of two free throws with five seconds to play. Duke never got the ball back and the nation’s top-ranked team crashed in a regional final for the second straight year. Virginia, meanwhile, turned a play that will stand with some of the NCAA Tournament’s most memorable moments just to force overtime in defeating Purdue in the South Regional final on Saturday. Auburn outlasted Kentucky 77-71 in overtime Sunday to win the Midwest but perhaps pulled off a bigger escape act in its first-round triumph over New Mexico State. After beating the Aggies, the Tigers became the first program in event history to knock off college basketball’s top three winningest programs in succession: Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky. Texas Tech was the only Final Four participant that didn’t see its game turn on final-possession drama. But the Red Raiders nursed a two-point lead on Gonzaga with 20 seconds remaining in the West Regional final before winning by six. And Tech started behind everyone else headed to the Final

Four — not in seed, but in preseason perception. The Red Raiders, picked to finish seventh in the Big 12, are the only team headed to Minneapolis that wasn’t part of the AP preseason Top 25. In fact, they didn’t even receive a vote. Disrespect was a card that Tech coach Chris Beard played with regularity this season, and postseason. “We don’t mind the underdog chip on the shoulder part of our story,” Beard said. Auburn, which becomes the first school from Alabama to reach a Final Four, carried some of that feeling into the tournament, but coach Bruce Pearl was quick to remind that the tag only goes so far at his school. “Now, this is important,” Pearl said. “Auburn athletics, we’re not Cinderellas in anything. We’re really, really good in all those other sports. We win

championships. Been a long time since basketball’s been good.” And it’s been a long time since Virginia played in a Final Four. The Cavaliers got there in 1984, their second trip in four seasons. With five seconds remaining in their regional final on Saturday, it looked like the drought might grow even longer. The Boilermakers, leading by three, fouled Ty Jerome, who made the first of two free throws. The second shot bounced off the front iron. Jerome said after the game he didn’t miss on purpose, but everything that happened after that broke for Virginia. Mamadi Diakite aggressively tapped the ball into the backcourt, where Virginia guard Kihei Clark tracked it down. He fired a long strike to Diakite, whose 10-footer fell through just before the buzzer sounded

to force overtime. Jerome said Clark made the “play of the century.” The entire sequence will be remembered in the same way as the Lorenzo Charles dunk that gave North Carolina State an improbable national title-game victory over Houston, or Christian Laettner’s game-winning shot for Duke against Kentucky. So this Final Four features two first-time programs, Texas Tech and Auburn, and three first-time coaches. The Red Raiders’ Beard, Virginia’s Tony Bennett and the Tigers’ Pearl are making their debuts on the final weekend. Michigan State’s Tom Izzo is the Final Four veteran of the group, making his eighth appearance since 1999. Only John Wooden (12), Mike Krzyzewski (12), Dean Smith (nine) and Roy Williams (eight) have been to more.

A look at the Knicks’ offseason roster-building options Steve Popper Newsday

As the Knicks make their way to the end of the season, piling one loss after another, it’s hard to tell anything about their future with much of the roster bound for free agency and hoping to find new homes. And the few players who figure into the future plans have done little to define their future roles. So as the real season for the Knicks’ front office is looming, it’s hard to figure just who fits best for a makeover to wipe away the memories of this process. Is Kevin Durant the key to everything? If the Knicks somehow can coax Durant into coming east, something that they have seemed to have a hint is happening, who fits beside him as a second free agent? What player in the draft could complement him? For example, the building blocks the Knicks have spent this misery slogging through with in the hope that they will develop for the future are Kevin Knox, the most recent lottery pick, and secondrounder Mitchell Robinson. Knox has taken on a huge role in terms of minutes and offensive workload. And he plays the same position as Durant. So how do you piece these things together to jump from the worst team in the NBA to one that will convince a player like Durant that this won’t turn into a middle of the pack frustration? “At the end of the day what I’m trying to do with all of them is make them, to a certain extent, positionless,” Knicks coach David Fizdale said. “Where they can get to a point where it doesn’t matter who they’re out there with, that their skill set applies to whatever position they’re playing. That’s kind of how we’re looking at it going forward. I’m not looking too far into the future of who we might get. But our player development is focused on making them complete players.” It’s not a unique concept. The Warriors have done it with a number of players who can switch positions seamlessly. The Bucks have opted for a similar tact, filling their roster with long, versatile players. So could the Knicks play a lineup together with Durant, Kyrie Irving, Zion Williamson, Kevin Knox and Mitchell Robinson? Is there a possibility that Ja Morant and Irving could coexist? It’s certainly a better problem than rolling the ball out with the assortment of roster fillers that they’ve put on the floor this season. In this

exercise, consider the Knicks can get the stars they want — which certainly is no sure thing — and every mention of Durant is interchangeable with Kawhi Leonard as long as we’re imagining things go right for the Knicks. What are the chances? The best of all worlds: Durant goes ahead with the bizarre decision to leave the best team in basketball, leaving millions of dollars on the table, and comes to New York. He draws Irving with him, the Ping-Pong balls hit the proper 14 percent and the Knicks get Zion. So there is a point guard, small forward, power forward combo and somehow positionless ball slips Knox over to the two guard spot. Robinson lives on alley-oops and follow dunks with this talented core around him. Dennis Smith Jr. is instant offense off the bench. Frank Ntilikina finds his role finally as a sixth man, versatile defensive stopper and no one has to be banned from Madison Square Garden. Duke Version 2: What if the Knicks get Durant and Irving — again, a pretty good dream scenario — but don’t hit the lottery? If they went with Zion’s teammate, R.J. Barrett, it would be a far easier lineup decision as Barrett looks ready to go as a shooting guard. Not that it’s better than getting Zion, but it is easier than picturing

Knox trying to chase around James Harden. Ja rules: Of course, the lottery and the draft come ahead of free agency — as long as the Knicks have been assured, as owner James Dolan claimed, that the stars of the free-agent market want to come to the Knicks. So the Knicks will have to make that decision first, and if they don’t get the first pick, they could be choosing between Barrett and Morant, with the Murray State point guard rising in scouts’ eyes with his performance against Marquette and Florida State in the NCAA Tournament. If Morant comes, it makes little sense to pursue a point guard in free agency. So could a Durant, Morant combo work with Knox and an elite wing like Klay Thompson or Jimmy Butler? The wild card: If the Knicks get the top pick they could always package it in a deal to try to bring Anthony Davis to New York. The issue with this is that using that pick takes an asset out of the mix. The Knicks have zero stars now. They have a chance to finish the summer with three — two max free agents and a top pick. If you include that pick and more to Davis, you would have to perform cap gymnastics to fit two max free agents in. But Davis is really, really good.

Mom objects to unsolicited breastfeeding advice I am a new mother to a perfect baby boy. Everywhere I go — the grocery store, my front yard, my daughter’s school — people ask, “You are breastfeeding, right?” Why should it matter to strangers whether or not I’m breastfeeding my baby? It has no DEAR ABBY effect on them whatsoever. It’s a personal decision. What’s worse is when I have formula in my shopping cart and someone stops to lecture me about breastfeeding. People need to stop shaming mothers for using formula and quit asking questions that are none of their business. It’s a personal choice and not up for discussion. As long as a mother is feeding her baby, she’s doing a great job. Mind Your Own Business

As well-meaning as these individuals may be, I agree it is none of their beeswax how you nourish your baby. Why not give them tit for tat? Tell them you plan to raise your baby without their input and you don’t appreciate their comments. Then walk on and continue your shopping. As I write this, I am shaking with frustration. My dear dad died a week ago. I put an obituary in the paper and online that requested in lieu of flowers to please donate to two specific noncontroversial charities. I’m sitting here surrounded by NINE plants and bouquets of flowers! I’m so upset each time another one is delivered. My house looks like a funeral parlor. I don’t have the time to take them to a hospital, so I’m tossing them. I would like to help cure the cancer that claimed my dad. Each plant reminds me of a waste of money. Please remind people to respect the

wishes of the family. Grieving Daughter In Wisconsin Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your father. Your desire to contribute to cancer research is understandable considering the circumstances. It’s possible that friends and acquaintances who saw his obituary didn’t read carefully through it and sent the offerings on impulse. Or perhaps they did both. But your comments have merit, which is why I’m printing them.

Why is love such a hard thing to find? I am a boy who often feels alone. I have never experienced true love, even though I often meet girls I’d like to be with. What holds me back is the fear of approaching and talking to them. My fear puts me in despair, and I feel lonely. What would you suggest to overcome these feelings so I can find happiness? Outsider In Hawaii True love is usually built on friendship. Friendships are generally based on common interests. What are the things you are interested in? You call yourself a “boy,” so I assume you are still in school. Consider joining clubs and activities that are offered there, such as sports, drama or music. Churches sponsor activities for youth, as well. Sign up for them and you will increase your chances of making friends. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

A healthy diet includes omega-3 and omega-6 It seems that eating a healthy diet with an emphasis on nuts and seeds, fruits, vegetables and grains is the best choice for anyone. It’s been well-documented that omega-6 is inflammatory, whereas foods containing omega-3 are not. It seems to me that we should be consuming foods that have more omega-3 in them. The only TO YOUR problem is that, from my reGOOD HEALTH search, all nuts and seeds with the exception of chia and flaxseeds have a much higher ratio of the omega-6 to the omega-3. This appears to be the case with most foods, no matter which food group they are in. How can any of the healthy foods be beneficial when so much more of the “bad fats” are being ingested?

DR. KEITH ROACH

Dietary fats are categorized into four groups: monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, saturated and trans-saturated. It is accepted that monounsaturated fats have a healthy effect, reducing heart disease risk, while trans-saturated fats are clearly harmful. The effect of saturated fats on health is mixed, but those that come from processed meat increase heart disease and diabetes risk. Saturated

fat overall has little effect on heart disease risk, but swapping saturated fat with unsaturated fats (both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) appears to reduce heart disease risk. Polyunsaturated fats are categorized into the omega-3 family and the omega-6 family. I also have read in many places that omega-6 fats are “bad fats,” causing inflammation. The best evidence, a 2014 review of all controlled trials published, showed that omega-6 fats are NOT inflammatory and that they DECREASE risk of heart disease compared with meat-based saturated fats. We should be consuming both omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fats, mostly from plant sources. The data support that nuts and seeds are foods we should be eating more of, but we also should be eating good sources of omega-3, including fatty fish, the chia and flaxseeds you mentioned, as well as walnuts and canola oil. Most people have to work harder to get omega-3 oils but get plenty of omega-6.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you may at times feel you are privileged and entitled, but the world is sure to remind you, again and again, that you must work for the things you want. There is no question that you will be blessed with good luck much of the time, but you certainly don’t want to tempt fate, and for that reason you must never rely on luck to see you through. You are rather unusual, and you have a tendency to do and say things that are sometimes quite unexpected. You are not trying to win such reactions from those around you, but rather you simply say and do what you will, regardless of what the reactions might be. When young, you will have many options open to you, and exploring them will be no problem at all. It is when you are older and the choices become limited that you will have a problem, for you won’t have the luxury of picking and choosing. Also born on this date are: Marvin Gaye, singer; Christopher Meloni, actor; Michael Fassbender, actor; Buddy Ebsen, actor; Emmylou Harris, singer; Linda Hunt, actress; Alec Guinness, actor; Jack Webb, actor. 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. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3 ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’re after quality, not quantity, and if you have to wait longer than expected to be satisfied, so be it. There’s no need to settle. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If you think you’re ready, you’re ready, and if you think you’re not, you have plenty of time to do what you must to complete your preparations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — An accident needn’t affect you for long today. Do what you can to make things right with anyone else affected, and move on quickly. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may be labeled a show-off today — and why not? You can do many things, and you’re in the mood to do them in front of an audience. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You may wonder how your presence is really helping when it comes to a family situation in which others are looking to you for solutions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You can prove that no one is more suited for a certain task than you are. Once you get the go-ahead, you must swing into action quickly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You can make things more serene and enjoyable for those around you today. Focus on what matters, and avoid any loud distractions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — A student of sorts will benefit from what you say and do today. He or she understands where you are coming from. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You may choose to do things the easy way today, but in the end you’ll realize there’s nothing easy about what you have to do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Take another by the hand and help him or her through any emotionally charged situations today. You’ll certainly be glad you did. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You’re not all that keen on doing something well, but rather on getting it behind you. Still, your pride won’t allow you to do a poor job. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You’ll likely have good reason to devote yourself to something new today. This commitment may be brief, but it will be total.
