One day after state lawmakers banned single-use plastic bags, a new opportunity to use alternative energy is on the horizon for Greene and Columbia County residents. Solstice, a renewable energy company with 21 solar projects up and down the East Coast, is working on a project in Ellenville that will serve the Twin Counties when it is completed. The 3-megawatt solar

farm on Frogland Road will serve 430 homes in Dutchess, Greene, Columbia and Ulster counties, Solstice Director of Marketing Andrew Alazya said Tuesday. The project is expected to be completed by August. Solstice will offer Central Hudson customers an alternative at a discounted rate, Alazya said. “We offer a 10 percent discount that is guaranteed in our

ALBANY — New York state is poised to raise the legal age to buy tobacco from 18 to 21. The state Senate adopted legislation April 1 to increase the legal age to purchase tobacco products, including traditional and electronic cigarettes. The Assembly passed a bill earlier, and the legislation is next headed for the governor’s desk. “Tobacco products are highly addictive and are marketed at our kids,” Senate Majority Leader Andrea StewartCousins, D-35, said in a statement. “The legislation passed by the Senate Majority will help save lives and ensure fewer New Yorkers take up this dangerous and deadly habit.” The bill was sponsored by state Sen. Diane Savino, D-23. If signed by the governor, the bill would make New York the eighth state to raise the age to purchase tobacco products to 21. The statewide age is 18, but some counties have passed legislation raising the age to 21, including Albany, New York City, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Cortland, Essex, Nassau, Onondaga, Orange, Rockland, Schenectady, Suffolk, Sullivan, Tompkins, Ulster and Westchester, according to the New York State Department of Health website. The minimum age in the Twin Counties is 18.

A law is going before Gov. Andrew Cuomo that would raise the age for tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes, from 18 to 21.

Game Farm owners eye new animal magnetism By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Owners and local officials hope the new Long Neck Inn, on the site of the former Catskill Game Farm, will exert the same animal magnetism on tourists when it opens this summer. Before the recent switch from petting zoos to hospitality, the Game Farm was home to more than 2,000 animals from 1933 until the business closed in 2006, according to its website. Owners Cathy and Ben Ballone purchased the 150-acre site in 2012. Besides the inn, the Ballones have offered self-guided tours since 2013 and have four campsites, equipped with wood stove,

grill, picnic table and a canvas tent with a queen-sized bed on a pressure-treated platform for guests. Catskill Town Supervisor Doreen Davis is pleased to see the revitalization of the local tourist gem. “I think it’s another sign of resurgence in Catskill, of us reinventing ourselves to thrive in the present by visiting our past,” she said. “Even though I lived almost two hours north of here growing up, we were visitors on school trips, as was my own daughter. As a town it would be great to see that level of interest renewed.” The unique atmosphere will remain intact for both fans

Wesley Nichols, of Catskill, said he favored the legislation. “Kids shouldn’t be smoking cigarettes,” Nichols said. Jennifer Arenskjold, of Hudson, doesn’t think changing the law will have much impact. “If they are going to smoke, they are going to smoke,” Arenskjold said. Catskill resident Jon Phillips foresees difficulty in enforcing the law. “Any law that attempts to legislate morality or personal behavior is difficult to enforce,” Phillips said. “Secondly, it creates a market in the real world for an illicit product.” Despite enforcement issues, Phillips supports the law. “Who in their right mind wouldn’t agree that tobacco is a harmful product?” Phillips said. In 2018 Columbia County considered a similar move that would have raised the legal age, but legislation was not put forward, according to Sarah Sterling, county supervisor for the 1st Ward and deputy chair of the Health and Human Services Committee for Columbia County. Sterling said raising the statewide age would “absolutely be a good idea.” She added that e-cigarettes have become a big problem, specifically Juul, an electronic

all possible.” Central Hudson representatives did not return requests for comment by press time. The Ellenville location became ideal for the project because it is a brownfield, Alazya said. “The location was chosen because it is not active farmland,” he said. “It is not very fertile and the older landowners were not getting much use out of it.” The 13-acre tract of land will soon be home to 8,000 solar panels, Alazya said. Solstice’s business partner, ForeFront Power, acquired the land and helped the owners to gain some reward from an otherwise lost investment, Alazya said.

“ForeFront works on building the projects and Solstice deals with customer education and helping customers enroll,” Alazya said. Solstice and similar companies have to take advantage of the critical time frame they are in, Alayza said, referring to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s plan to make the state more environmentally friendly. Other similar powerconnection solar projects by Solstice include Holliston, Massachusetts; Dover, Massachusetts; Laurens, New York; Callicoon, New York; Barre, Massachusetts; Baldwin, New York; Uxbridge, Massachusetts; and Plympton, Massachusetts. “Climate change is a reality,

and the consequences of delay are a matter of life and death. We know what we must do,” Cuomo said in a statement in January. “Now we have to have the vision, the courage, and the competence to get it done. While the federal government shamefully ignores the reality of climate change and fails to take meaningful action, we are launching the first-in-the-nation Green New Deal to seize the potential of the clean energy economy, set the nation’s most ambitious goal for carbon-free power and ultimately eliminate our entire carbon footprint.” The governor’s Green New Deal requires the state to be 100 percent carbon-free by 2040.

cigarette that resembles a computer flash drive. “I think Juuling is just a disaster waiting to happen,” Sterling said. “All of these kids are getting addicted because they have no idea about nicotine. Teens are so vulnerable to addictions and all of a sudden they are hooked on nicotine. After all the work we did to get kids off smoking, now they are vaping.” Statistics on youth smoking are not collected on a countywide basis, but e-cigarettes are a growing problem, said Karen dePeyster, program director for TobaccoFree Action for Columbia and Greene Counties. “The use of e-cigarettes and particularly Juul is a huge problem in the school systems in both counties,” dePeyster said. “We have a youth action coordinator and at the school’s request she has been in almost all the schools in both counties providing information on e-cigarettes, on nicotine addiction, on health risks, to students, faculty and parents in both counties. All the schools are seeing this as a huge problem.” Raising the legal age to purchase tobacco products should help bring the rates among youth down, dePeyster said. “A principal source of tobacco and vaping products to underage kids is older students who buy these things legally. There are lots of 18-year-old high school students and they are the source for those who can’t

buy it legally. If you raise the age to 21, by the time people are 21 they aren’t traveling in high school social circles anymore.” Ron Rouse, from Greene County Rural Health Network, said his organization does not have specific programs targeting teenagers’ use of tobacco, but that the network supports the legislation as a way of keeping people healthy. “We support any program that will greatly improve the health of the people of Greene County,” Rouse said. “Tobacco prevention is certainly one of the best ways you can make people healthy and keep them healthy. Raising the age to 21 keeps younger kids from accessing tobacco. Almost everyone who smokes as an adult smokes before they are age 21.” Beyond the health impacts that tobacco use has on adults, there are additional reasons to prevent teens from taking up the habit, dePeyster said. “One of the biggest reasons to keep tobacco out of the hands of teens is that nicotine causes adverse changes in the developing brain,” dePeyster said. “During adolescence the brain has not completely matured, especially the area responsible for executive functions and attention performance. This is one of the last brain areas to mature and is still developing. Smoking during adolescence increases the risk of developing psychiatric disorders and cognitive impairment in later life and

are at increased risk for attention deficit.” Preventing teenagers from starting to use tobacco could also affect its use later in life, said Ed Coons, environmental health director for Columbia County. “Statistically, people form habits up until age 21, so if you can prevent people from starting before age 21, they may never smoke,” Coons said. Some are skeptical that the legislation will have any effect on smoking rates among teenagers. “I don’t smoke, so it doesn’t affect me,” said Chris Wagner, of New York City, who was walking on Warren Street in Hudson on Tuesday. “But I think people who want to smoke are going to find a way to do it anyway, law or no law ... just like drinking.” His friend, Devin McCoury, also of New York City, said he saw another issue with the law. “I don’t smoke either, but I feel if you’re old enough to be drafted, you’re old enough to drink or smoke, if you want,” McCoury said. In addition to increasing the age to purchase tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes, from 18 to 21 statewide, the legislation also requires retailers to post warning and notice signs reflecting the new minimum age limit and prohibits the distribution of “free” tobacco products to anyone under 21, according to a statement from the state Senate.

Guests will have access to explore the abandoned zoo during daylight hours, according to the site. The Game Farm’s most famous resident, April the giraffe, was born in the giraffe house in 2002, Ballone said. April has gained global attention on social media for the births of her calves, Tajiri in 2017 and Azizi in 2019, at the Animal Adventure Park in

Harpursville, near Binghamton. A long-term goal for the Ballones is to open a museum on the site, but meanwhile the Long Neck Inn will exhibit memorabilia from the former Game Farm. The Ballones said they have no intention of making the site a zoo again, but a venue for weddings and municipal gatherings is in the cards. Photography workshops through Abandoned America, which specializes in abandoned historic places, are also periodically offered on-site.

In this Aug. 14, 2018 file photo, director Jim Jarmusch (in sunglasses) sets up a scene in “The Dead Don’t Die,” a tongue-in-cheek horror movie starring pop singer Selena Gomez and Academy Award-nominated actor Bill Murray at the West Tagkhanic Diner in Taghkanic.

By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media

TAGHKANIC — A zombie comedy with a star-studded cast filmed, in part, in Columbia County, is scheduled to be released in movie theaters in late spring. Academy Award-nominated actor Bill Murray will star in the “The Dead Don’t Die,” which will hit theaters June 14, according to a statement this week from Hollywood-based production company Focus Features. This will be Murray’s second experience with zombies. He made a brief but memorable appearance in another tongue-in-cheek horror movie, “Zombieland” (2009). The sequel, “Zombieland: Double Tap,” is expected to be released Oct. 11 by Columbia Pictures. “The Dead Don’t Die,” which is in post-production, was written and directed by famed independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch of New York City. The director of other independent movies such as “Broken Flowers” (2005), also starring Murray, and “Night on Earth” (1991), was seen directing production staff outside the West Taghkanic Diner, 1016 Route 82, while filming was underway in August. Production designers transformed the West Taghkanic Diner into a movie set Aug. 13, and filmed for several days. Parts of the film were also shot at Lake Taghkanic and in Elizaville. The iconic diner used as a backdrop in the film closed Nov. 1 but is set to reopen under new ownership. Kristopher Schram, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of American in Hyde Park, bought the celebrity diner

and has been busy renovating the building for its projected premiere on April 11. The diner will serve classic fare such as turkey club and Reuben sandwiches, but will also include local ingredients and beer from local breweries. “As I was looking for my next move, I saw it [the diner] was for sale and thought it would be a fun project to take on – to reopen this classic diner from my old childhood with the memorable neon sign as you drive toward the [Taconic State] parkway,” said the Hudson High School graduate. “The Dead Don’t Die” will be distributed to theaters worldwide by Universal Productions International, according to Focus Features. Billed under the tagline “the greatest movie cast ever disassembled,” the cast includes other Jarmusch favorites Adam Driver (“Paterson”), Chloë Sevigny (“Broken Flowers”) and Tilda Swinton (“Only Lovers Left Alive”), along with Steve Buscemi and pop singer Selena Gomez, according to Focus Features. Attempts to reach Driver, Sevigny and Swinton for comment through their agencies were unsuccessful at press time. The film’s plot is still under wraps. Members of the production crew refused to comment about the film or its plot when they were filming at the diner.

OUR VIEW

Fiscal year off to a stumbling start A deal to pass the 2019-20 state budget was struck one day before the April 1 deadline, not a bad finish compared to the unacceptable tardiness of previous budgets. But at what cost? When it was all said and done Sunday, the state budget looked as if its components were picked out of a jar. The budget is a $175 billion potpourri 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 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 singleuse plastic grocery bags beginning in 2020. Curiously, the budget does not make provisions for the legalization of marijuana, an issue that had been on the table for more than a year, but there are a few facts that simply cannot be avoided. First, the budget will make Andrew Cuomo the highest-paid governor in the land. Second, there is the issue of big legislative pay raises. And third, the permanent 2 percent tax cap looks ingenious on paper, but it is deceiving, given its

exemptions. The issue of unfunded mandates remains murky and there seems to be little funding for roads, both of which affect local governments in Greene and Columbia counties. Police will be able to withhold mugshots, which are public information, from the press threatens First Amendment rights. This patchwork state budget will make it more difficult for local businesses, local governments and local media from doing their jobs unless some clarity can be extracted from it. All in all, this is a bad way to start the state’s fiscal year.

Congress must find out how reckless White House has been with security clearances The Washington Post

Tricia Newbold, the whistleblower with concerns about granting national security clearances, has told a House committee that she fully realized President Donald Trump has the legal authority to award his appointees access to the nation’s secrets if he so chooses. What upset her was that, when staff concerns were raised about certain clearances for certain appointees, the worries were repeatedly swept aside. Her alarming statements raise anew the question about whether Trump and his White House have been reckless in handling this essential process to protect the nation’s secrets. Congress must find out. A few weeks ago, concerns were raised about Trump ordering an upgrade in the level of access for his son-inlaw, Jared Kushner, essentially overriding concerns of the intelligence community. Now Newbold suggests this was not an isolated example. In 25 cases, she says, the White House has shunted aside information that might disqualify an appointee from handling national

security secrets. “According to Ms. Newbold,” the House Oversight and Reform Committee said in a memorandum, “these individuals had a wide range of serious disqualifying issues involving foreign influence, conflicts of interest, concerning personal conduct, financial problems, drug use, and criminal conduct.” In effect, Newbold says the system is broken. She is quoted as saying, “And I feel that right now this is my last hope to really bring the integrity back to our office.” She is an 18-year career employee of the Executive Office of the President; she has worked for Democrats and Republicans. For her concerns, she was targeted for retaliation, she says, being put on leave without pay for 14 days. Newbold has shown great principle and courage in going public, and her account, as outlined by the committee, suggests that White House officials in higher positions have behaved cavalierly and carelessly. For example, in the case of “Senior White House Official 1,” as the committee described it, Newbold and another official judged that the

clearance should be denied. They found the background check into the individual had unearthed several “significant disqualifying factors,” including possible vulnerability to foreign influence, outside employment activity, and personal conduct. But her boss, the director of the Personnel Security Office, overruled the determination on the simple grounds that “the activities occurred prior to federal service.” She detailed other examples, too, such as being told, after another senior official got a disqualifying recommendation, “do not touch” the case. The official then got a clearance. None of the officials are identified. The law allows Trump to grant security clearances at his own discretion. He has made it obvious that what he prizes most in appointees is extreme personal fealty. But this is about something else: fealty to the security of the nation. Trump has a duty to be a steward of its secrets. Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., has properly announced further investigation of Newbold’s revelations.

Did you watch “Leaving Neverland,” the HBO documentary about Wade Robeson and James Sawchuck, two of the victims of Michael Jackson’s pedophilia? All four hours? And Oprah’s hour discussion following it? I did. Reluctantly. Although I was never much of a Jackson fan there was a time in my life, in the years following the release of his “Thriller” album in 1982, when he was the biggest, brightest star in that part of the universe populated by humans. No album, other than the Eagles “Greatest Hits,” has ever sold more copies. Girls swooned and so did boys. So did parents. My step-daughter, born in 1978, was one of those swooners in her pre-teen years. The only singer ever brighter in her eyes was Madonna at the time of the “Like a Virgin” album, released two years after “Thriller.” But Jackson was a fixed star in her universe for many years. And not just him. James Sawchuck, whose seduction by Jackson began when he was 8 years old, was her first crush. To this day she can remember virtually every frame of Jackson’s 1987 Pepsi commercial in which Sawchuck appeared. Unless you are in total denial and refuse to believe that Jackson was a pedophile, an adult who gradually seduced Sawchuck and Robson when they were children into being the willing participants in his perverted fantasies, who equally seduced their mothers into voluntarily surrendering their young children to him, you are left to wonder about many things. A friend reminded me recently that Vladimir Nabokov’s Humbert Humbert employed the same basic technique as Jackson in his 1955 novel, “Lolita”: Humbert romances the mother to gain access to her daughter’s bedroom. There are many directions in which I could take this column, many questions I could ask while, at the same time, not being able to provide many answers. But questions are important. After all, there are no answers without them. So, here’s my main question today: Is it possible to separate the actions and/or views of a person from his or her art? Personally, I find the question as it relates to Michael Jackson easy to answer. What he did to those two boys, those two families, as well as to others, was reprehensible, monstrous even, and is hardly redeemed by his art. After thinking about “Thriller,” might one not even wonder if he really saw himself as the monster he has been revealed to be. It’s okay with me if I never hear another Jackson song. Then, again, I haven’t intentionally listened to one

MY VIEW

MIKE

SALZ in more than 30 years. So that’s easy for me. But, maybe, not for you. But let’s take a different example, the poet T.S. Eliot. The first poem I read of his in high school was “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” My English teacher was an Eliot fan and I adopted some of his enthusiasm. All these years later, there is no poem more important to me, more resonant in my life than the “East Corker” section of his “Four Quartets.” One thing my teacher never mentioned was Eliot’s antiSemitism, something that is quite obvious in some of his work. Should Eliot’s hatred of me — his dismissal of me as a Jew, his characterization of me as a Jew, impersonal as it may be, unrelated to an actual me — negate, invalidate, the rest of his work? I am sure it should, but it doesn’t. “East Corker,” particularly with the lines that start with “Home is where one starts from…” until it’s concluding line, “In my end is my beginning” remain intensely important to me. I couldn’t forget them or dismiss them if I tried. Or, how about this: Alice Walker is one of the most respected writers in America. At the end of 2018 she praised a book by a well-known antiSemite and had, at the very least, flirted with anti-Semitic remarks herself through the years. Does she/should she get a pass because she is Black? I’ve never read one of her novels. I said to a friend of mine, “I guess now I have a good excuse not to.” This dilemma is not reserved to the arts. To pick the low hanging fruit, consider the Catholic Church and Catholicism. I am continually astonished at the breadth and depth of the moral corruption of the Church — that is, the institution of the Catholic Church and not the religion. The degree to which examples of pedophilia and sexual abuse committed by priests has been revealed to be far more widespread and common than most anyone thought. But the degree to which it has been knowingly covered up by the Catholic hierarchy, thinking to hide the rot in its midst, and the lack of concern about the victims of its priest, is astonishing. That so many of these people presume to lecture about the morality and responsibility of others when their house is so befouled is hard to fathom. But then, I’m neither a

Catholic or a Christian. I don’t have to decide if my priest can actually speak with any moral authority because I don’t have one. For millions of Catholics, though, this must present a dilemma. Can one truly separate the institution of the Church from the religion, their priest or bishop from the doctrine? The institution has essentially insisted for centuries that they are one and the same thing. Does the religion exist without the Church? No matter what the Church may proclaim, it is ultimately left to the individual believer to decide what he or she makes of the problem and what their relationship to the institution and the religion should be. I don’t envy them; I’ve had my own qualms over the divergence between theory and practice in spiritual matters and organizations and I’m not sure I’ve always made the right choices. There is no religious institution, Christian or nonChristian, that has not come across these contradictions between the religion and its institutions. There are evangelical Protestant ministers these days who are willing to ignore the moral and ethical sins of our current President because they see some of his policies as embodying their political goals whereas they vehemently castigated a previous President who had different political goals. These days, the state of Israel seems to find greater affinity with the increasingly overtly anti-Semitic and authoritarian states in Eastern Europe than it does with the democracies of Western Europe. Apparently, in their view — both the evangelical minsters and the ruling Israeli parties — the ends justify the means. I thought that, in fact, was contrary to the ideals of most religions, contrary to what they preach to their parishioners. I thought, in fact, that was contrary not simply to religions but to the very principles upon which our country was founded. I began this column talking about “Leaving Neverland,” Michael Jackson’s fantasy compound north of L.A. In order to leave, Wade Robson and James Sawchuck had to find it, to be able and willing to look beyond the fantasy into the heart of the darkness. In fact, most of us spend much of our lives in Neverland, a land filled with light and dark, with joy and sorrow, with myth and deception, with truth and lies, with beauty and horror. Ultimately, we are all left to our own devices, our own courage, to look for the truth about our own Neverlands. Or not.

Whale is found dead with 48 pounds of plastic in stomach Iliana Magra The New York Times News Service

More than 48 pounds of plastic, including disposable dishes, a corrugated tube, shopping bags and a detergent package with its bar code still visible, were found inside a dead sperm whale in Italy, the World Wildlife Fund said Monday. The whale, a young female, washed ashore in Porto Cervo, a seaside resort in the north of the Italian island of Sardinia. It

was also carrying a fetus “in an advanced state of decomposition,” the fund said. Last month, a whale was found dead on a Philippine beach with 88 pounds of plastic in its body. More than 1,000 assorted pieces of plastic were discovered inside a decomposing whale in Indonesia in November. A sperm whale died in Spain last year after being unable to digest more than 60 pounds of plastic trash.

Avocados aren’t the only thing that would feel the bite if Trump closes the border Emily Tamkin The Washington Post

President Donald Trump threatened to close the U.S.Mexico border this week if Mexico did not stop all undocumented immigrants from coming into the United States. The United States and Mexico do cooperate already in addressing Central American migration, and, in any event, Mexico cannot stop every undocumented migrant from entering the United States. In practice, Trump’s threat would mean shutting down ports of entry, which would stop legal migrants and commerce from coming into the United States from Mexico. Mexico is the United States’ third largest trading partner, and over $1 billion in trade goods cross the U.S.-Mexico border every day. But those numbers can seem large and abstract, and so many a media outlet wrote about a more tangible example: the United States would run out of avocados in a matter of weeks if Trump does indeed close the southern border. But how effective is focusing on one fruit? Far from trivializing a potential bilateral trade crisis, some experts say that focusing on the avocado helps drive home the impact Trump’s decision would have on American readers. “The avocado story is not a new one - it comes up all the time with Mexico trade issues,” William Reinsch, who holds the Scholl Chair in International Business at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, wrote in an email. “It’s a handy shorthand way of illustrating how an abstract issue like international trade actually affects people’s lives day by day ... it gets people to understand the interconnectedness of the global marketplace and demonstrates the benefits of globalization. Without it, we’d have to go back to putting butter on our toast!,” added Reinsch, who was previously president of the National

Foreign Trade Council. “I think it’s a good example. We need to make U.S.Mexico trade and trade policy and border management tangible,” agreed Christopher Wilson, deputy director of the Wilson Center’s Mexico Institute. That said, there are downsides of framing even the economic angle of the U.S.Mexico border around avocados. For one thing, “Of course there is way more to the US-Mexico economic relationship - there’s way more at stake in shutting down the border than just avocados,” Wilson said. “Sometimes you just have to let the numbers speak for themselves. Sometimes it’s not a perfect little anecdote that encapsulates everything.” That’s especially true since, while Mexico’s the United States’ third largest trade partner, it’s the second destination for exports, said Jorge Guajardo, Mexico’s former ambassador to China. “The U.S. imports much more from China than to Mexico,” he told The Washington Post, but it “exports more to Mexico than China, Japan, and Korea combined,” and much of that is in the form of agricultural products. Farmers will feel a closed border, Guajardo argued, especially because Trump’s already in a trade standoff with China. “Here’s the thing: Whether he goes through or not with this nonsense of closing the border, if nothing else, he’s emboldening the Chinese in their negotiation,” Guajardo said. For another, statistics like these — how quickly U.S. consumers would feel the pressure of a border closure when they go to make breakfast — only capture one part of the U.S.-Mexican economic relationship. Roughly half of the trade is comprised of whole products that are sold from one country to another. But the other rough half is of trade is trade in intermediate parts. According to Wilson, over $100 billion in parts come into the United States every year to “keep

our factories running.” While avocados could run out in a matter of weeks, factories, he said, would feel the hit of a border closing in two to three days. Another potential downside of focusing on avocados is that Trump is framing the issue in terms of security, not economics, Heather Hurlburt, director of the New Models of Policy Change Program at New America, wrote in an email, just as some of his opponents are against his policies not because of guacamole, but on humanitarian grounds. In addition to threatening to close the border, Trump decided to stop sending aid to the Central American countries from which people are fleeing in the first place. “By claiming that there is a crisis at the border - and maneuvering how they house and treat migrants so that there appears to be one - the President is activating his supporters to believe that the security situation is so dire it justifies suffering economic consequences,” she wrote “If the stakes are either crime and violence directed against American citizens, as Trump often and erroneously says (since we know immigrants commit fewer crimes on average than the native-born) OR the human suffering of families sleeping on gravel in underpasses because of this Administration’s choices, worrying about avocados seems rather silly either way.” Although Trump is making his argument on security grounds, the reality is that there will be an economic element to a border closure, Wilson said. So it’s an argument that should be made to the U.S. public, in addition to, but not instead of, a conversation on migration, he said. “I actually think that the economic argument to not shut down ports of entry is an incredibly powerful one. I’m not at all uncomfortable making that argument,” he said. And Mexico cooperates

with the United States on security because of the economic benefits of the relationship, said Guajardo, now a senior director at McLarty Associates.

Remembering Edwin Laurentine Drake By David Dorpfeld Greene County Historian For Columbia-Greene Media

Last Friday I joined about 20 people in the gazebo at the Greenville Park to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Edwin Laurentine Drake (March 29, 1819–November 9, 1880), also known as Colonel Drake. We had cake and even sang Happy Birthday. Drake was born in Greenville and is credited with drilling the country’s first successful oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Greenville Town Historian Don Teator organized the event upon his return last week from Titusville where he and his wife Debra shared in the bicentennial celebration of Drake’s birth at the Drake Well Museum (drakewell.org) and viewed local enthusiasts role-playing Colonel Edwin and Mrs. Drake’s accomplishments and lives. Accompanying Teator was a framed resolution approved by the Greenville Town Board, proclaiming “… the honor and pleasure to… declare March 29th, Col. Edwin L. Drake Day in the Town of Greenville, Greene County, New York.” After being born in Greenville, Drake and his family moved around a bit and at age 19 he left home in Vermont and worked for the railroad in various capacities around New Haven, Conn. In 1857, Drake was hired by the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company to find a way to collect oil that was floating on the surface of a spring near Titusville, Penn. The method being used was very inefficient producing only three to six gallons a day of the crude. Drake reported back to his employer that he thought he could increase production. As a result he was made President of a new company known as the Seneca Oil Company. In the spring of 1858, Drake supervised the construction of new channels, troughs and skimmers at the site in Titusville. Even with the improvements, production only

increased to 10 gallons a day. Next he decided to dig a hole to discover the source of the oil. At 15 feet the diggers struck oil, however, shortly after the discovery, water gushed into the hole and Drake had another failure. At this point Drake seems to have lost the financial support of the Seneca Oil Company, but came up with a new plan — drilling for oil the way salt well drillers had been doing for a number of years. He purchased a steam engine to power a drill and devised the idea of driving pipe down into the hole that was being made by the drill. Once the men hit bedrock at 32 feet, drilling was slow — only three feet a day. On Aug. 27, 1859 the drill had reached 69.5 feet. The next day when the men came to visit the site they discovered that they had struck oil. Reportedly, the oil was collected in a bathtub — a far cry from today’s sophisticated methods. The new method of recovering oil doubled daily production over the old method and was much less labor intensive. Soon men started to flock to the Titusville area to build more oil wells. By 1872, the Titusville area was producing 16 thousand barrels a day and

the whale oil lamp was on the way out. Shortly before Drake’s success, Samuel Kier established America’s first oil refinery in nearby Pittsburgh on Seventh Avenue near Grant Street. A marker identifying the site reads “Kier Refinery – Using a five-barrel still, Samuel M. Kier erected on this site about 1854 the first commercial refinery to produce illuminating oil (kerosene) from petroleum. He initially used crude oil from salt wells at Tarentum.” Kier consulted with Edwin Drake concerning Drake’s experimental oil well and the first shipment of oil from Drake’s well went to Kier’s refinery. Drake’s method of drilling inside a pipe to prevent borehole collapse is still used today by many companies to drill for hydrocarbons. Unfortunately Drake did not have a head for business and was never able to parley his success in the oil business into a fortune in the same way as John D. Rockefeller. Kudos to Don Teator for once again doing an excellent job as Greenville Town Historian. Reach David Dorpfeld at gchistorian@gmail.com.

Giancarlo Stanton on the injured list with a left biceps strain. Then, 30 minutes before the start of a 3-1 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night, the team announced that third baseman Miguel Andujar had joined the list with a right shoulder injury that might require a season-ending operation. Stanton, a crucial power hitter, and Andujar, the American League Rookie of the Year runner-up last season, exhibited no obvious signs of injury during a season-opening series loss to the lowly Baltimore Orioles. Andujar, 24, hurt his shoulder while sliding back into third base in the fourth inning of Sunday’s 7-5 loss to the Orioles. But he finished the game, reporting no problems. Scheduled to be off on Monday, he visited the trainer’s room to have the shoulder checked and then was sent for an MRI, which revealed a torn labrum. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the team would try therapy for Andujar and then reevaluate his shoulder in a couple of weeks to see if surgery seemed necessary. “His physical test with the doctor is really good, so there is some optimism that, treated

distance for the loss, allowing 13 runs and eight runs (five earned) with seven strikeouts and three walks. “Hats off to Greenville today,Maple Hill coach Patrick Austin said. “They put the bat on the ball and were relentless. They’ve got a very deep lineup; I was impressed. Our girls showed a lot of fight to get back into the game a few times. Statia Walker had a 3 RBI double off the fence in the 6th that might have gone for a tying grand slam on a warmer day.”

conservatively, he can respond and come back and play,” Boone said. “But we’ll know that in a couple weeks.” In his absence, the Yankees will lean on D.J. LeMahieu at third base, and they have called up utility man Tyler Wade from Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The list of key Yankees who are either injured or still returning from injury now contains eight players: Stanton, Andujar, shortstop Didi Gregorius, outfielders Aaron Hicks and Jacoby Ellsbury, and pitchers Dellin Betances, CC Sabathia and Luis Severino. In that group, there are a combined 17 All-Star appearances, one Cy Young Award winner (Sabathia) and one Most Valuable Player (Stanton). “It’s unfortunate right now,” Stanton said before the game, “but I guess it’s better to be in the beginning than at the end of the year.” Stanton, 29, played every inning of the Orioles series in left field and was 2 for 8 at the plate with four strikeouts and seven walks. He later revealed that he felt discomfort while swinging during a third-inning at-bat on the chilly Sunday evening. He considered alerting Yankees coaches but instead chalked it up to a cramp. When the tightness in his arm persisted after the game and he started thinking it had affected the quickness of his swing, Stanton informed the

team. An MRI revealed a Grade 1 strain — the mildest on a scale of three — so Stanton will be shut down for 10 days and, according to Boone, could return at any point this month. “I don’t like it at all,” Stanton said. “Just worked for six weeks to get here, plus the offseason. I’d much rather this would’ve popped in spring training. But that’s where we’re at. I don’t have to start from scratch when I come back.” Still, as the injuries have piled up during spring training and in the early days of the season, the Yankees’ depth has been getting a stiff early test. Against the Tigers, the remaining Yankees provided a victory. Domingo German, a rotation fill-in, provided five stout innings while catcher Gary Sanchez and center fielder Brett Gardner each homered. Betances may be among the first of the injured Yankees to return this month, as Boone said he was progressing well after shoulder inflammation late in spring training. Sabathia, who is serving a five-game suspension stemming from an episode in which he threw at Tampa Bay’s Jesus Sucre in a game last fall, is also expected back this month. Once his suspension ends, Sabathia will move to the IL since he is a few weeks behind his fellow starting pitchers because of offseason

operations on his heart and knee. Severino is expected back from a shoulder injury in May, and Gregorius is expected to return from Tommy John surgery sometime during the summer. It is unclear when Ellsbury, who missed all of the 2018 season and was originally expected to be ready for spring training, could be ready for the major leagues since he is still recovering from hip surgery last year and a flare-up of a foot ailment. Hicks’ nagging back injury has improved recently, but it required two cortisone shots. He has been out since March 1 and has not yet resumed baseball activities. “I don’t think it’s going to be deep into the season by any means, but he’s still got some weeks to go,” Boone said. The Yankees once had six outfielders on the roster, but now three are on the IL. Their outfield options now consist of Aaron Judge; Clint Frazier, who was also called up from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday; Michael Tauchman, who was acquired in a trade just before the season began; and Gardner. Boone said Frazier would play frequently in Stanton’s absence. Frazier, once a top prospect who missed most of last season with a concussion, has hit .238 in limited opportunities in the major leagues over the past two years but made improvements to his swing this spring.

How Cassius Winston, Michigan State basketball can become elite in Final Four Chris Solari Detroit Free Press WASHINGTON — Trepidation remained high, the 4.7 seconds left seeming like an eternity. A one-point lead. A Final Four berth at stake. An inbounds play in front of the Duke bench. How would the Blue Devils pull this one off? What could go wrong for Michigan State? Cassius Winston answered, like he has so many other times. Winston came off a screen. Duke’s RJ Barrett hawked him after a switch but briefly stumbled. Xavier Tillman shoved a textbook two-hand chest pass toward midcourt. No one will confuse Winston for a track star. But in that moment, one that will be replayed for years to come, MSU’s junior point guard burst out like a sprinter. Zion Williamson gave chase, to no avail. “I got the ball and got away,” Winston said. “And I was like, I’m like about to dribble it out and this is really happening. It was crazy. It was a crazy moment.” As the realization hit the rest of Capital One Arena, with Magic Johnson and Mateen Cleaves in the stands exhaling as nervous fans, Winston whipped the

ball into the air and etched his name in the stratosphere of Spartan history as his teammates and coaches mobbed him in joyous celebration. That it ended up in Winston’s hands when MSU needed one more play comes as no surprise. Neither did his 20 points, 10 assists, four steals and just one turnover in guiding the Spartans to a 68-67 victory over the Blue Devils. Next stop: Minneapolis and the Final Four. “There was no doubt in my mind,” Winston said moments after being named the East region’s Most Outstanding Player. “It didn’t cross my mind about losing one time. We went out there and played, played good basketball.” The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder from Detroit shot just 9-for-23 but made critical buckets and passes in pressurepacked points. “He stirs the drink in a lot of different ways,” MSU coach Tom Izzo said. “But tonight, he had a couple steals — if he starts playing defense, I’m going to start to get scared. He did a great job in a lot of ways.” Winston started the game by collecting the first of Duke’s 17 turnovers and flinging it ahead to Kenny Goins for a dunk to open the game with an exclamation point. He set up Matt

McQuaid a little later in transition for another highlight-reel slam, part of the Spartans’ tone-setting 16-9 burst to open the game. But the Blue Devils, as they would all night, answered with their own run. The first would be a 19-5 spurt that closed with 12 straight points. Tom Izzo called timeout. An undaunted Winston took command, driving through the lane and absorbing contact on a pair of layups. Then he kicked out a pass to Tillman at the top of the key for a wide-open 3-pointer. A Winston jumper. Then a steal and dish to Tillman. Then another steal and driving layup with 4 seconds left before halftime. Winston’s eight points in a 13-0 run counterpunch sent MSU into the break up, 34-30, and brimming with confidence. “The heart of a lion is what they have. I’m telling you, the mental toughness, even when we were down 30-21, there was no panic in the huddle,” Izzo said. “We just said, we didn’t do some things right. We quit rebounding and getting the ball inside. We turned it around. “And Cash has a lot to do with it.” Out of the break, the Spartans got the ball and Winston delivered another half-opening assist for a dunk, this one

a pinpoint lob to Aaron Henry. Again, Duke answered. Things began to go back and forth. Twice Winston drained 3-pointers after the Blue Devils went in front, the second of which came after Williamson hit one to pare Duke’s four-point lead to one. Winston continued to respond, scoring on a driving, off-kilter floater after contact that dance around the rim and fell. He stole a long lob pass that sailed over Williamson’s reach, pushed the pace in transition and bounced a pass to Tillman for a dunk and three-point play that made it 6359 with 4:07 left. Back came Duke with seven straight points to steal back the lead. And when it looked like the Spartans didn’t have one more run left in them, Winston once again rose to the occasion. Off the dribble, with three defenders closing in as he spun in the paint, Winston looped a shot that wasn’t — he somehow spotted Tillman cutting along the baseline and directed it to the right side of the rim for a layup that made it 66-65. “I think it is an experience thing along with talent,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “And he is as good a player as we’ve played against. I mean, he’s a big-time player. ... He’s coached

by a heck of a guy in (Izzo). And he’s able to run what Tom is thinking in real time and feel the game and that really is one of the biggest gifts a player can give a coach. And he has that as well, probably as well as anyone in the country.” Almost as improbable as his speed burst to close out the game, Winston contributed to the game-winning basket without even touching the ball. His screen on the left block slowed up the 6-7, 285-pound Williamson just enough to free up Goins at the top of the key. The outstretched reach of the Duke star just missed a block, as the ball spun in perfect rotation through the hoop. Thanks to the one assist from Winston that didn’t involve him passing. “That was just an initial read — a down-screen for him, and I was gonna set a back-screen for X to try and get an easy layup,” Winston said of Goins’ shot. “They backed up off him, and he stepped up and knocked it down. A big play — big-time players make big-time plays.” Just like Winston did all night. Izzo talked after the game about how each of his teams over his 24 years form exclusive clubs. The Big Ten championship teams have their own place in history, as do the now eight Final Four squads that this year’s group joins.

Everything changes after man reveals a secret I am a woman in my 30s working two jobs to make ends meet after a divorce. A few months ago, I met a nice gentleman who has been understanding about my situation and crazy hours, and we have a pretty stable relationship. Feelings have developed, and DEAR ABBY we’re thinking about getting more serious. He recently disclosed that he’s actually very wealthy. He works full time and has a modest lifestyle, so the news caught me off-guard. I enjoyed his company before the revelation, and I almost wish he hadn’t told me. Now that his secret is out, he has been going over the top with gifts and offering to pay for things so I won’t have to work a second job. Because I have always worked hard and offered to pay for dates, I have declined his offers, and I feel really awkward about accepting the extravagant gifts he insists on giving me. I think it’s making him more attracted to me because I’m not like his past girlfriends who tried to take advantage of his wealth. This may seem like a happy complaint, but I’m starting to have doubts about this relationship because it seems like we live in completely different worlds. I really like him and want this to work out, regardless of his money. Do you think there’s a way to salvage this relationship and turn it back to the way things were? Don’t Want The Glass Slippers

I sure do. Tell the gentleman exactly what you told me, or show him this column and tell him the letter was written by you. In a successful relationship, honest communication is essential. Now that you know more about his financial situation, things will never be

the way they were, but by continuing the conversation, the two of you can navigate through this. I have been dating a man for three years. When we first met, he bonded very well with my three adult children. They liked him, and he was invited to every occasion. My ex-husband is gay and is now married to his partner. We have remained friends and have even spent some occasions together. My boyfriend thinks this is totally dysfunctional, so I agreed that we would not spend occasions together anymore. About a year ago, he started not wanting to participate in any event with my kids. We argued, and he said some nasty things about them. I was appalled. Had he just pretended to like them? He has had nothing to do with them for months. My son is getting married next week, and when I told my boyfriend I don’t think it’s right that he come, he flipped out. Why would a man who didn’t want anything to do with my kids expect to be welcomed at their wedding? Am I wrong? Perplexed In Florida

Your children are not wrong. You are not wrong. The man you have been involved with for three years appears to be determined to isolate you from those to whom you are closest, and it is a big red flag! This isn’t a question of right or wrong. It’s a question of whether you want to continue a relationship with him and, if so, at what cost. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

The risk of at-home allergy shots is too high After giving myself allergy shots at home for years, my allergy doctor’s group has decided that it’s too dangerous for patients to do this anymore. The allergy practice will no longer send a vial unless you can prove the shot will be given in a medical facility. Even if you are a nurse or doctor yourself, you still TO YOUR must prove that the shot will GOOD HEALTH be given in a medical facility! Of course, there is a charge per shot if you drive across town to have the allergy practice’s nurse give it. Not long after getting this notice, I read an article about a local child who has improved an insulin injection device. After the alteration, several more doses could be extracted. The article also mentioned children being able to give themselves insulin shots at school! This is such an obvious money grab. How can it be safe for children to give themselves insulin at school but too dangerous for adults to give themselves shots at home? Do you know any reason for this change of policy for giving shots other than docs who can’t get more patients, so they bleed

DR. KEITH ROACH

the ones they have dry? Insulin therapy is very different from allergy shots. Insulin is routinely given at home, work and school, and is very safe. The difference with an allergy shot is that you are getting a substance you are known to be allergic to. Comparatively, there is a significant risk of an allergic reaction. Only 3 to 5 percent of people getting allergy immunotherapy will have a systemic reaction, and only 1 out of 5,000 shots or so will require epinephrine. That might not sound like a high risk, but for a busy allergy clinic, that means about one person per month. The epinephrine is used to both treat and prevent life-threatening reactions. The guidelines from allergy experts clearly state that injections must be given under qualified medical supervision. Your doctor’s group was not following the standard of care before.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you’re a lively individual with tremendous vision and verve, and anything you set your mind to trying can and will be tried — and if you succeed at it, all the better! You have been endowed with many talents, but not necessarily the self-knowledge required to use them to the fullest at every opportunity. You are somewhat mercurial, and certainly inconsistent; even those who know you best cannot say with any degree of certainty what you might do next. When backed into a corner, you can put up quite a fight. You often see things in very simple terms, which can be an advantage in some things — but often it puts you at a disadvantage because you are unable or unwilling to see the complexities that are at play in a given situation. You are the kind of person to look back at your younger self and think, “Ah, those were the days!” Also born on this date are: Eddie Murphy, actor and comedian; Alec Baldwin, actor; Doris Day, singer and actress; Marlon Brando, actor; Jane Goodall, primatologist; Jennie Garth, actress; Wayne Newton, singer; Washington Irving, author; David Hyde Pierce, actor; Virgil Gus Grissom, astronaut; Tony Orlando, singer; Picabo Street, Olympic skier; Dooley Wilson, 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. THURSDAY, APRIL 4 ARIES (March 21-April 19) — A moment of recognition proves most important to you today — and to that certain someone who is in your sights. Something’s going on. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your manner of dealing with the things others don’t want to deal

with will likely be in the spotlight on at least two occasions today. Be ready. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Someone is eager to follow in your footsteps, but you may have reason to warn him or her against following too closely — at least for now. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Your creativity is likely to be in the spotlight today. Do what you know how to do, and if asked to do something else, you can politely decline. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Something real is likely to have quite an impact on you today, especially if you are the only one to realize just how important it may be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You can get far with someone who is usually very hard to work with, but take care that you don’t give away too many secrets too soon. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You’re likely to hit upon an idea that can serve you quite well, albeit not quite in the way that you had anticipated. See where this goes. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may find yourself in the spotlight today quite by accident, but you can focus the attention of your audience on something important. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You may want to alert someone to a coming danger without knowing quite how to do it. It’s important to be as specific as possible. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Money issues are on your mind today. If you think a certain something isn’t going to matter, you’re mistaken. Take it all in and react. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You will want to think twice when someone says he or she doesn’t mind. You suspect something serious lies beneath the surface; dig it up! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may not have the precision that some think is required today, but you certainly have the spark that others may not have. COPYRIGHT 2019 UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.
