NEW BALTIMORE — An elderly couple was saved by the quick action of a neighbor when a fire stoked by strong winds destroyed their New Baltimore home Wednesday afternoon. First responders were called to the scene at 2:54 p.m. at 1111 Old State Road after the neighbor noticed something was wrong at the home owned by Jose and Teresa Rosario, New Baltimore Deputy Fire Chief Scott Van Wormer said. “A guy smelled something across the street,” Van Worm-

CATSKILL — Carlos Graham of Catskill was sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison Thursday for killing his former next-door neighbor and romantic rival, rapper Brandyn Dayne Foster, and burying his body under the floor where he slept. He was also sentenced on a variety of other charges to be served concurrently or consecutively with the seconddegree murder charge. Greene County Court Judge Terry A. Wilhelm called Graham’s act “horrific criminal conduct” in handing down the maximum sentence requested by Greene County District Attorney Joseph Stanzione.

A 12-person jury convicted Graham, 32 of shooting Foster over money, marijuana and jewelry Jan. 27, 2017. Graham was assisted by his paramour and Foster’s former girlfriend Sade Knox, and his friend, Ashton Adams. Knox and Adams await sentencing for their roles in the crime. Graham was sentenced Thursday to the maximum 25 years to life for second-degree murder, a class A-1 felony; 15 years for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a class C felony; five years for third-degree criminal possession of a weapon; 3-6 years for third-degree grand larceny, both class D felonies; 2-4 years See MURDER A2 LANCE WHEELER FOR COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

GREENPORT — And then there were three. The committee searching for a new Columbia-Greene Community College president has winnowed the field to a trio of candidates. The Columbia-Greene Community College Board of Trustees announced Wednesday it will begin interview the three finalists next week. Ronald G. Cantor, Carlee Rader Drummer and Ann M. Marrott will visit the college April 8, 9 and 15, one candidate per day to meet with trustees, faculty and students. From 12:45 to 1:45 p.m. each day, an open session will be held for the public to meet the candidates. The session will be held in Room 612 of the Professional Academic Center on the C-GCC campus. “The board will select one candidate to go on to the SU-

NY Chancellor’s office,” said Greene County Treasurer Peter Markou, a member of the search committee. Ron Cantor The board must decide on a final candidate April 15. The search committee is comprised of college faculty members, trustees, ColumbiaGreene Community Foundation members and college deans. The panel has reviewed 42 applications, Markou said. James Campion, the fifth and longest-serving president in the college’s 52-year history, announced his retirement in October. Campion will step down in July after 19 years as the college’s chief educational officer. From the 42 applications

for the post, the committee selected eight candidates for interviews, Markou said. “We had to narrow it Carlee Rader down to four Drummer names to give to the committee,” Markou said. “These are some of the best candidates I’ve ever seen in academia. Whomever they pick will be the right choice.” The fourth candidate later withdrew from consideration citing personal matters, Markou said. Columbia-Greene Community College Board of Trustees Vice Chairman Peter O’Hara is another member ofthe search committee. “We were very pleased with the number of applications for the position,” he said. “They were very substantial with

great credentials.” Cantor is Special Adviser to the Maine Community College System. Ann M. Marrott He previously served as president of Southern Maine Community College, associate vice president and dean at Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica and associate dean for liberal arts at Jefferson Community College in Watertown. Cantor was also named among the top three finalists for the president’s post at North Country Community College in Saranac Lake. The simultaneous applications are not a concern to the board, O’Hara said. “We were aware that he was a finalist for North Country Community College,” O’Hara

said. “It indicates that he is very qualified to be president of a community college. He rose to the top for both positions.” Cantor earned a Ph.D. in cultural foundations of education/history from Syracuse University, a master’s in educational administration from University of Nebraska and a bachelor’s degree in administration from the University of New Hampshire. Drummer is president of Quinebaug Valley Community College in Killingly, Connecticut. She previously served as executive director of College Advancement and was executive director of the Educational Foundation at Oakton Community College for 13 years. She earned a Ph.D. and master’s from SUNY Stony Brook and her bachelor’s degree from Wittenberg University. See FINALISTS A2

Foster, an aspiring rapper with a fan base, is the son of revered jazz musician Al Foster and the father of a 10-year-old son. “I miss him every day,” Steinberg said in her victim’s impact statement. “My heart especially breaks for Brandyn’s son, Jazzon.” Steinberg recalled the number of people who reached out to her since her Brandyn’s death and told her about the ways her son had helped them. “He never spoke about helping people, he just did it,” Steinberg said in court. Steinberg held up photos of her son and her grandson for the entire courtroom to see, and held them up in front of Graham. “You get out of life what you give to life, and you did the unthinkable,” Steinberg said to Graham. “You viciously took my son’s life. And when you did that you took my life. How could you do such a thing? Just to rob my son?”

GRAHAM SPEAKS OUT Graham said he is the process of filing an appeal, and maintained his innocence when he spoke in court before sentencing. “I put my faith in the justice system,” Graham said. “I told the truth so that I could clear my conscience and take responsibility for my actions and give Brandyn’s family some closure. The system failed me. And I lost all faith in our judicial system because I was wrongfully convicted of murder.” During the trial, Graham testified that he shot Foster in selfdefense after Foster allegedly broke into Knox’s home and physically assaulted her.

ham said he hid in Knox’s bedroom closet until Foster entered the room and Graham opened fire. Knox and Adams, who prosecutors said helped conceal Foster’s body, were not called to testify at the trial. Graham said their testimony would have helped prove his case for self-defense. “I did not murder Brandyn Foster, but I did cause his death,” Graham said. Graham apologized to his own family and Foster’s family for his actions. “I believe what they seek is revenge, not justice,” Graham said, alluding to Foster’s family.

THE INVESTIGATION State Police Major Crimes Unit investigators found Foster’s body Feb. 6, 2018, entombed in nine inches of concrete in a crawl space below a fish tank in Knox’s bedroom at 124 Tool House Road after a year-long investigation into Foster’s disappearance. Graham, Knox and Adams hid Foster’s car in a casino parking lot four hours away in Connecticut, police said. Knox told family members that Foster had to leave the area to get away from some bad people. “It wasn’t until 13 months later that Brandyn Foster’s body was finally located,” Stanzione said. “During those 13 months, Carlos Graham promoted the lie that Brandyn Foster simply went away for a while. And during those 13 months, hundreds of thousands of man hours

were employed interviewing people, searching for Brandyn Foster, searching cell phone records, bank records, credit card records, retaining search warrants, digging up the property with heavy equipment, searching residences and analyzing blood and DNA samples that were obtained in the search.” Graham shot Foster twice, once with a .357 Ruger magnum revolver and a second time with a 10-gauge sawed-off shotgun in his other hand, Stanzione said. Pieces of bird shot were found in Foster’s body, as well as a magnum round that ultimately killed him. Police found the guns encased in the concrete beside Foster’s body. Hours before the murder, at about 5 p.m. Jan. 26, Graham, Knox and Adams went to 8 Hotel Lane in Stuyvesant in Columbia County so Graham could buy the revolver from suspected drug ring leader Bryce Hallback, Stanzione said. Hallback is connected to multiple shootings in Hudson in 2017, Hudson police said. Hallback knows Graham for more than a decade, he said. Graham allegedly told Hallback he could shoot Foster and take weed and belongings from his home. Days later, when Hallback asked Graham for the gun back, she said he told her she did not want it back because he “beat the n****r with it.” Graham has a criminal history, including convictions for third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance in Columbia County, petty larceny in Ath-

Adams and Knox pleaded guilty in March to their roles in the murder plot. They each could serve around five to 15 years in state prison. Murder and conspiracy charges against Knox and Adams were dropped as part of a plea deal. The decision by Stanzione to drop the charges outraged Foster’s mother. “Knox and Adams were indicted for murder and conspiracy,” Steinberg said in a statement to the Register-Star. “District Attorney Stanzione dismissed these charges, where they could have been sentenced to life, like Graham, and allowed Knox and Adams a plea bargain where they could be released in as little as five years. This was done without my knowledge, input or consent and is far too light for the seriousness of their crimes.” Knox, 31, pleaded guilty on March 1 to second-degree criminal facilitation, a class C felony; third-degree grand larceny, a class D felony; concealment of a human corpse, a class E felony; and tampering with physical evidence, a class E felony. Adams, 26, pleaded guilty on March 12 to first-degree hindering prosecution, a class D felony; concealment of a human corpse, a class E felony; and tampering with physical evidence, a class E felony. During Graham’s trial, prosecutors argued that Knox lured Foster into her home with text messages, and that Graham, Knox and Adams conspired to hide Foster in a crawl space before pouring concrete over the body. The jury found that Graham killed and entombed Foster as part of a plot to get his money and valuables.

Jose Rosario is a military veteran, Molgard said. The fire is believed to have started in the kitchen area, Van Wormer said, adding that the fire remains under investigation. “[The fire] was hard to get to,” he said. “The house had metal roofing. It was hard to get it under control because the wind blew the fire into the house.”

“The Red Cross was called in and is putting them up in a motel until they get things squared away,” Van Wormer said. In addition to lodging, the Red Cross also provided food, clothing, comfort kits and health services, American Red Cross Eastern NY Region Public Affairs Team Member Mary Alice Molgard said.

Marrott served at SUNY Ulster for 28 years as director, associate dean, vice president and most recently as Senior Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Services. Marrott earned a Ed.D. in Executive Leadership at St. John Fisher College, a master’s in journalism and mass communication from Iowa State University, a bachelor’s degree in public communications from Syracuse University and an associate degree in communications and media arts from Ulster County Community College. The search committee is confident that any of the finalists will be a good choice, O’Hara said. “All three candidates are excellent candidates qualified to be president,” he said. “Presi-

dent Campion has done a tremendous job in advancing the institution to where it is today. Anyone of the candidates can take the institution to the next level of development.” Campion’s successor will have big shoes to fill. Born in Rhinebeck, Campion has been involved with Columbia-Greene Community College on an administrative level since 1974. “The college was in Athens then,” Campion recalled in an October interview. “President Ed Owen called and asked if I would like to sign on to be part of the team that would create the future for ColumbiaGreene Community College. I confessed that I didn’t know much about building a future, and Ed noted that he didn’t, either.” Owen became the college’s first president, taking the helm in 1968. He was followed by Roger A. VanWinkle (19781984), Dr. Robert K. Luther (1984-1989), Dr. Terry A. Cline

(1989-2000) and Campion from 2000 to the present. Retirement will be bittersweet, Campion said. “My career in higher education goes back 45 years,” Campion said. “I first entered the State University of New York system 50 years ago this past September. It’s been a long and rewarding journey that has reached its natural, if not bittersweet, end.” Campion plans to spend time at his home in Livingston where he lives with his wife, Donna. The Campions have three children, Florentina, Robert Joshua and Elena. Campion volunteers in both Columbia and Greene counties serving as a trustee of the Columbia Economic Development Corporation, a member of the Olana Partnership Emeritus Council and a member of the Columbia County Community Health Care Consortium Board of Directors.

OUR VIEW

The X-factor in Medicare-X Getting caught with inadequate health insurance, or worse, no health-care coverage at all, is a frightening and costly experience. It’s the epic equivalent of coming up a dollar short in a busy grocery store check-out line and you’ve left your credit card at home. So, we understand U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado giving his universal healthcare option, known as the Medicare-X Choice Act, a full-court press in Congress. If enacted, the bill would create a public-option health plan for purchase on individual and small business exchanges. We understand residents of rural communities with a handful of doctors and low incomes have asked about the health care crisis and what can be done about increasing prescription drug costs, rising premiums, rising deductibles and an overall lack of quality care. What they may not know is that Delgado’s proposal hews closely to one released last December by the Urban Institute, an independent research group, according

to a Washington Post Wire Service report. The Institute’s proposal would get the nation to near-universal health-care coverage and relieve many of the financial burdens some people face under the current system and cost the federal treasury far less than more radical plans, according to the Post report. Under the Institute’s proposal, Medicare and the employer-based healthcare system, whereby most Americans get their insurance, would be left in place. But it would create a new health-care marketplace for most everyone else, including those on Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which are government initiatives for low-income people, and those buying insurance on their own in the individual market, according to the Post story. Under Delgado’s proposed legislation, Medicare physician networks and reimbursement rates are combined with coverage standards from the Affordable Care Act, or Obam-

acare, such as protections for pre-existing conditions, thereby providing a new public option available to people of all ages. Delgado’s bill would also enable workers with employer-provided insurance to maintain their coverage. Delgado’s plan offers an affordable option that would reduce costs by capitalizing on the existing Medicare model. Because the cost of administering Medicare is lower than the cost of administering private insurance claims, Delgado said, there will be built-in cost savings passed down to individuals relying on it, Delgado said. Delgado, who ran for the 19th Congressional District seat as a cross between a plain speaker and a policy wonk, must know that his proposal looks good on paper, as does the Urban Institute’s plan. But, as they say in sports, they don’t play the games on paper. Delgado’s plan is impressive, but its weakness is that old standby: Who pays for it? That’s the X-factor in Medicare-X.

After his video, Biden may come out even stronger Jennifer Rubin The Washington Post

It took a few tries, but Joe Biden and his advisers figured out that rather than issue written statements trying to respond to women who had suddenly decided to report that his lifelong habit of hugging, patting and obliterating personal space really bothered them, the best way to put this behind the former vice president was to let him explain himself, and in doing so, remind voters why he has endeared himself to them. “Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it,” Biden said on social media. By late Wednesday afternoon, his video tweet had

received more than 66,000 likes. It’s not clear this was even necessary. Other than journalists, it was hard to find anyone who honestly thought “Biden is a hugger” was news; it surely wasn’t new. Even Republicans had come to his rescue. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., remarked, “I just want to say Joe Biden is my friend, and I know him very well, and whatever he did it may have been inappropriate but it was not driven by malice or misconduct.” Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Dianne Feinstein,D-Calif., also vouched for him, as has Meghan McCain. Biden conveyed in his message why he touches people - to soothe, empathize and encourage. In saying that he would resist the notion that politics has to be “antiseptic,” he showed that he’s in public service

Maybe the most compelling story came from Jean Carnahan, a former senator whose husband and son were killed while campaigning: “I arrived in the U.S. Senate after losing my husband and son in a plane crash weeks earlier,” she said on social media. “As I stepped down from the platform, where I was sworn in by Vice President Gore, waiting at the landing was Joe Biden. . . . “Joe took both of my hands in his and looked me in the eye for a long while before he spoke. He said simply, ‘I know, I know.’ For a brief moment we were two souls joined by a loss that changed our lives. After that, Joe would often pause to ask how I was getting along.”

The madness of college hoop’s amateurism WASHINGTON — Appropriately, during the crescendo of this college basketball season, in which the most significant event was a shoe malfunction, a lawyer whose best-known client was a pornographic actress was indicted for threatening to shrink a shoe company’s market capitalization by making allegations about the company misbehaving in the meat market for a small number of tall “student-athletes.” What counts as misbehavior in this swamp is a murky subject. Zion Williamson is a “oneand-done” superstar at Duke, a university (one can lose sight of this fact) that aspires to be worthy of its basketball program. There Williamson is spending the obligatory year before becoming eligible to rake in riches in the NBA, which forbids its teams to sign players directly out of high school, thereby giving institutions of higher education a year to refine future NBA talent. In a February game, one of Williamson’s Nike shoes blew apart under the torque of his 285 pounds. This injured him, not seriously but enough to furrow the brows of those who ponder the ethics of college athletics — in a sense, a small subject. They wondered: While Williamson is serving his oneyear sentence as an unpaid student-athlete, helping Duke and the National Collegiate Athletic Association make millions and more than a billion, respectively (he has 3 million followers on Instagram), an injury could ruin his prospects as a professional. So, perhaps he should be a paid studentathlete. Nike pays Duke serious money, but not a penny — heaven forfend — to Williamson, to wear its stuff. (Duke, a private institution, can keep such transactions secret, but a comparable basketball factory, the University of Kentucky, recently extended its marriage to Nike for $30.6 million over eight years.) Williamson’s defective shoe briefly knocked $1.1 billion

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL off Nike’s market capitalization. Michael Avenatti, former lawyer for Stormy Daniels, was apparently nine times more ambitious. He was arrested after being recorded, according to the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, threatening to release — on the eve of March Madness and of a Nike earnings call — evidence that Nike has participated in a particular practice of sports apparel companies (Adidas and Under Armour also supposedly compete). They sluice money, through third parties, to “blue chip” recruits, or their families, to steer players to schools that are paid to wear the companies’ goods. To lawyers for Nike, Avenatti said: “I’ll go take $10 billion dollars off your client’s market cap. ... I’m not f---ing around.” Recently three men were convicted of fraud and conspiracy for directing recruits to Adidas schools, on the amusing theory that the schools who welcomed these players had never noticed any of the money sloshing around, and so were somehow victims. Pure as the driven slush. Louisiana State University reached the Sweet Sixteen in 2019’s March Madness without its coach, who was suspended by LSU after refusing to talk to the university about transcripts of colorful telephone conversations. The coach spoke about “a hell of a [expletive] offer” and “a [expletive] strongass offer” — to whom was unclear — concerning prospective recruits. Conceivably, the offers were not for NCAA-permitted benefits for the athlete.

The judge in another recent case compounded the comedy, ruling that although the NCAA has no “coherent definition of amateurism,” it can continue to sharply limit financial aid to athletes because the judge accepts the NCAA’s convenient theory about “the importance to consumer demand of maintaining a distinction between college sports and professional sports.” About the importance of equity, Rep. Mark Walker, a Republican from basketballcrazed North Carolina, has an idea: Tweak the tax code to say that “amateur sports organizations” cannot “substantially [restrict] the use of an athlete’s name, image or likeness.” So the NCAA, epicenter of the college-sports industry, would forfeit its tax exempt status — let’s not dwell on that absurdity — if it continues forbidding athletes from making money from their names. An ordained minister, Walker understands mankind’s fallen nature, so he knows that rivers of money from boosters and others might flow to star players for, say, endorsing a local car dealership. A believer in redemption, perhaps Walker understands that improvement of the multibillion-dollar entertainment industry that is parasitic off educational institutions must begin by forcing it to confront its foundational hypocrisy about amateurism. In 1957, Queen Elizabeth, attending a Maryland-North Carolina football game, asked Maryland’s governor, “Where do you get all those enormous players?” He replied, “Your majesty, that’s a very embarrassing question.” In college basketball there are many such questions.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Support for Greene County Coroner candidate Paul Seney To the editor: My name is Richard E. Vigilo. I have been a Greene County Coroner for the past 24 years. I served for many years together with the late Walter Robert Heisinger and became the Senior Coroner after his passing on May 27, 2012. There are many aspects to the job of coroner, not the least of which is dealing with the living family members who have lost a loved one. The most difficult for a family member is the death of a child. I have continued to serve Greene County with pride and dignity. Another growing problem in our area is the drug related deaths and the opioid epidemic. Death investigations and

dealing with surviving loved ones make this a very hard job, but one that is also rewarding in making the family feel at ease. During my tenure as a County Coroner for Greene County, we have revamped the necessary paperwork and continue to build a positive relationship with law enforcement in the community, including the New York State Police, Greene County Sheriff’s Office, as well as local municipality police departments. Paul R. Seney Jr. has been assisting me with my businesses including Richards Funeral Home in Cairo and Athens and the W. C. Brady Sons Inc. Funeral Home in Coxsackie. He has also been

Timmothy Pitzen vanished in 2011 — Kentucky teenager says he’s the missing boy Richard A. Oppel Jr. The New York Times News Service

Almost eight years ago, Amy Fry-Pitzen took her 6-yearold boy out of an elementary school in Aurora, Illinois, and drove him to Wisconsin, where they were last seen together at a water park. Her body was found soon after in a motel room in Rockford, Illinois, after an apparent suicide. She left a note saying her son, Timmothy, was now in safe hands with someone who loved him and that “You will never find him.” And no one has. Until — maybe — Wednesday. That’s when a boy who said his name was Timmothy Pitzen, and that he was 14, sprinted across a bridge from Cincinnati into Newport, Kentucky. Bystanders initially thought he might be trying to steal a car. But when they approached, they saw bruises and abrasions on his face. The boy asked for help, saying he had been held against his will and traded among people for years, and that he just wanted to go home. Police have not yet said

whether the boy really is Timmothy Pitzen, and federal investigators were scrambling to use DNA tests and other methods to try to determine his identity Thursday. But the boy told them that he had fled from a Red Roof Inn in Ohio, and, according to a police report, “had just escaped from two kidnappers that have been holding him for seven years.” He described his captors as two white men in a Ford SUV with Wisconsin plates, both of them built like bodybuilders. One had curly black hair and a tattoo of a spider web on his neck; the other man was short and had a snake tattoo on his arms. A spokesman for the Police Department in Aurora, Sgt. Bill Rowley, also told the station that police have “probably had thousands of tips of him popping up in different areas” over the years, and they did not yet have any idea of whether the boy’s story was true. As of Thursday morning, authorities had not determined the identity of the boy who had been found but said they believed they were getting closer to an answer.

In Venezuela, the search for water is a struggle Arelis R. Hernández and Mariana Zuñiga The Washington Post

CARACAS — Jakeline Moncada had faith that her household reserves would hold out until Venezuela’s water service was restored. But two nationwide blackouts and now the rationing of electricity have kept the water from flowing to a large swath of this South American country. After 15 days without a drip from the faucet, the 43-yearold mother of three found herself alongside a creek in Eastern Caracas this week watching her teenage son maneuver clumsily down a muddy bank in jeans and sneakers to draw water their family might use to drink, cook and bathe. “It’s so unfair,’” Moncada said. “We are such a rich country, it’s not fair that this is happening. “My daughter asked me recently, “Why are you crying, mami?’” First it was money. Then it was food. Then electricity. Now water. For millions of people in this oil-rich nation, the breakdown of basic services has reduced life to a daily struggle to secure fundamental needs - and as shortages spread, many say, it’s getting harder. Children are malnourished. Doctors are seeing increases in infectious diseases. Millions have fled the country. President Nicolás Maduro blames Venezuela’s myriad woes on sabotage by the opposition and its U.S. backers, aimed at destabilizing his government. The opposition and U.S. officials blame years of mismanagement and corruption under Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chávez. The sides have been locked in a political stalement since January, when Maduro claimed a second term as president after elections widely viewed as fraudulent and opposition leader Juan Guaidó responded by declaring himself interim president. Guaidó, recognized by the United States and more than 50 other countries as Venezuela’s rightful

leader, has been leading mass rallies around the country calling for Maduro to step down. Caught in the middle have been ordinary Venezuelans, across all classes. Analysts say 20 million people - two thirds of the population - have suffered shortages or lost water completely in the last two weeks. The water scarcity has driven people out of their homes and into the streets in search of any source, potable or not. Adults and children carry empty bottles and buckets down steep slum streets and across dangerous highways to public fountains, muddy streams, urban wells that smell of sewage. Dr. Maria Eugenia Landaeta heads the infectious disease department at the University Hospital of Caracas, said physicians are seeing surges in diarrhea, typhoid fever and hepatitis A. The country already is dealing with hunger, malnourishment and shortages of medicines and medical supplies. The longer Venezuelans go without access to clean water, Landeta said, the greater the likelihood of gastrointestinal and bacterial infection. Landaeta’s own hospital has spent months without regular water or power. It has relied on cisterns and generators. “We had many cases of postpartum infections in women because of terrible hygiene and use of nonsterile water,” Landeta said. Caracas, a city of 2 million, sits in a valley some 3,000 feet above sea level. The public water system relies on a succession of pumps that require massive amounts of energy. Without electricity, the water doesn’t flow. Protests over the lack of water in Caracas and the countryside last weekend drew armed responses from police and pro-government paramilitary groups. Two people were shot Sunday in Central Caracas, according to local media. Reporters and nongovernmental organizations say the government’s feared Special Actions Force opened fire on

demonstrators in Western Caracas and shot at apartments in neighborhoods that protested. Maduro condemned the violence and told Venezuelans to steel themselves while the government works to restore the system. Water Administror Evelyn Vasquez told reporters a pipe “explosion” had hindered efforts, but did not provide details. Maduro tweeted Thursday that the “diabolical puppets” of the “North American empire ... reveal their dark intentions by viciously attacking the basic services of the Venezuelan people.” National Security Advisor John Bolton said it was Maduro who created the problems. “The only thing preventing Venezuela from the road to economic reconstruction and prosperity is Maduro’s corruption, incompetence, and usurpation,” he tweeted. “The U.S. supports [Guaidó] and the Venezuelan people on their journey to democracy.” Opposition leaders have been predicting a public utility meltdown for years. Lawmaker Gregorio Graterol, who heads the environmental commission of the opposition-led National Assembly, said politicians warned as early as 2013 that a collapse of the deteriorating hydroelectrical system was imminent, absent serious maintenance. That never happened, he said. “This crisis is not circumstantial, it is structural,” Graterol said. “The causes have been there for a long time; corruption, incompetence . . . and the politicization of the public utility companies in charge.” José De Viana is a former president of Hidrocapital, the state-run water authority. Under normal circumstances, he said, if power from the national grid failed, thermoelectric plants positioned outside Venezuela’s cities would fire up as a backup system and keep the water flowing. “The problem is that 90 percent of the thermoelectric plants are out of service because they haven’t been repaired, maintained or are

disconnected from the electrical system,” De Viana said. “I don’t want to imagine the possibility of another blackout . . . if that happens, the problem could take on grave dimensions.” Throngs lined the streets of Caracas’ largest slum, Petare, lugging a range of jugs and tubs, some strapped to dollies, pushcarts and bicycles, under a blazing tropical sun to wait in semi-organized chaos for a turn to collect water from a square manhole in the street. Inés Blanco, 58, walked down from her cinder block home at 7 a.m. to claim a spot in line among scores of neighbors. For five hours, community leaders lowered buckets into the manhole to retrieve fetid water. The crowd didn’t seem to notice the smell. By noon, the well had gone dry, and Blanco had retreated to shade. In this hillside barrio, home to working-class Venezuelans traditionally loyal to Maduro’s socialist government, Blanco has grown accustomed to persistent water shortages. She has mastered recapturing bath water and recycling it for the toilet. She says she never uses that water to cook. Blanco doesn’t blame the opposition for the collapse of Venezuela’s infrastructure. But she doesn’t blame the government, either. “We don’t blame anyone,” she said. “Getting desperate doesn’t help anyone.” Neighbors called the hole a pozo - a well.

Body found in storage unit may FUNERAL be missing Staten Island teacher DIRECTORS Michael Gold and Nate Schweber The New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Five days after a New York City teacher went missing, officials are investigating whether human remains found at a storage facility may be hers. Police officers and staff from the New York City chief medical examiner’s office flocked to the scene of an Extra Space Storage location in Staten Island on Thursday morning to investigate human remains that were found there. Police had not yet determined whether the body was that of Jeanine Cammarata, 37, a mother of three who has not been seen in public since Saturday night, and were still working to identify the body as of 9:30 a.m., a police spokesman said. “A connection to the missing teacher has not been verified,” the spokesman said. Cammarata was reported missing Tuesday. She was last seen Saturday night at her boyfriend’s home in Staten Island, about 6 miles from her own residence. Friends and family became alarmed when Cammarata, a first-grade teacher at a Staten Island public school who also had a part-time job at a Dollar Tree, did not show up for work. She also did not attend a court appearance Monday for the divorce proceedings that she had initiated against her husband, Michael Cammarata, 42. Michael Cammarata has been in police custody on charges that he assaulted his wife in an incident unrelated to her disappearance, a police spokesman said Wednesday. Cammarata was still being questioned at the 120th Precinct in Staten Island on

Thursday morning when investigators discovered a body in a unit at the storage facility. Jeanine Cammarata had filed for divorce from her husband in February, court records show. They had separated nearly two years ago, according to Jeanine Cammarata’s attorney, Eric M. Gansberg. Cammarata left the home she shared with her husband because of domestic violence, Gansberg said. The couple have two children together: a 7-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. She also has a third child from her first husband. In the time Jeanine Cammarata and Michael Cammarata had been living apart, the couple had worked out a visitation agreement. Jeanine Cammarata had agreed to allow the children to remain with Michael Cammarata in the family’s home, because it was a house that they were familiar with, Gansberg said. After her husband relocated to Far Rockaway in Queens, however, she began to get upset about the arrangement, Gansberg said. “She came to me and said she had to take action,” Gansberg said. “Her husband was being dictatorial about when she could see the children.” Jeanine Cammarata’s landlord, Jose Perez, also said that she had been upset about the arrangement because it was breaking down. “She was very angry about not being able to see her kids,” Perez said. “He didn’t follow his end of the agreement. She said, ‘I can’t see my kids; that’s unacceptable.’ “ Perez also said Jeanine Cammarata had said that her husband mistreated and harassed

her. She told Perez, who lived above her, that Michael Cammarata would follow her in his car and send her menacing text messages. “It was not good,” he said. “It was all sexual and inappropriate.” Perez said Jeanine Cammarata’s reports alarmed him enough that he told her to watch out for her physical safety. “I told her, ‘You better be careful,’ “ he said. “She said, ‘Oh, he’s harmless, he would never do anything to me.’ “ Gansberg said that he last spoke to Jeanine Cammarata on Friday, confirming her court appearance. When she didn’t show up, he initially thought that it may be because she was afraid of her husband. Then, when he saw reports that she had been missing, he was shocked. Jeanine Cammarata was last seen at the home of her boyfriend, Aaron Suchecki. Police have said that they spoke with Suchecki, and that he was not a suspect in Cammarata’s disappearance. On Thursday, a man who identified himself as Suchecki’s landlord said that he had seen Jeanine Cammarata at the house several times in the past and that there was never any sign of trouble between them. He also said that Suchecki was distraught by Cammarata’s disappearance. “He’s going through something right now, and it’s very difficult for him,” the landlord said. Family members of Jeanine Cammarata, who has a younger brother and sister, have also spent the past few days anxious about her whereabouts.

Retire your digging tools? Yes, it’s possible

DUNKIN’ SUPPORTS CHILD HUNGER RELIEF EFFORTS

By Thomas Christopher For Columbia-Greene Media

A far better way to treat a garden — and far less laborious — is the no-till system perfected by gardener extraordinaire Lee Reich. Reich, who maintains a lush “farmden” in New Paltz, never digs his soil, not even when he is creating a new bed. Instead, he spreads fertilizer and flattens or mows any existing vegetation. Next, he covers the prospective planting area with a layer of newspaper four or more sheets thick, which he moistens as he goes along, to keep the paper in place. Once the paper is spread, he buries it with a layer of weed seedfree, organic mulch such as compost, leaves, or straw, 1- 3 inches deep. As soon as this cover is in place, he can start poking holes through it to insert transplants. Layout is important. Beds should be narrow enough (3-foot wide, bordered by 18-inch paths) so you can reach right into their centers while standing or squatting outside of them — you should never step on and compress the soil you have devoted to planting. Maintenance consists of a few minutes each week, extracting any weeds that may colonize the mulched surfaces, watering (preferably by drip irrigation) when the weather is persistently dry, and topping the beds with an inch of clean compost in fall or early spring.

Planting vegetable seedlings without laborious digging is possible with the no-till system.

For a fuller explanation of Reich’s methods, you should consult his book, “Weedless Gardening” (Workman Publishing, 2001). It’s an easy read, simple and remarkably clear, with helpful illustrations. He also includes pertinent information in a more recent book, “The Ever Curious Gardener” (New Society Publishers, 2018). Reich did note that there are some exceptional circumstances when digging may be necessary. For example, if your soil remains persistently wet because it is a very heavy clay, then it may benefit from having a hearty dose of some organic material such as sawdust incorporated into it before you begin your diggingfree regime. In a low-lying, flood-prone spot you might want to begin by creating raised beds. A soil cursed with

a subsurface layer of “hardpan,” an almost impenetrable layer of hardened soil, might also need a preliminary digging to break up that barrier. But these are the rare exceptions; for the most part you can retire your digging tools once you adopt this method of gardening. Be-a-Better-Gardener is a community service of Berkshire Botanical Garden, located in Stockbridge, Mass. Its mission to provide knowledge of gardening and the environment through 25 display gardens and a diverse range of classes informs and inspires thousands of students and visitors on horticultural topics every year. Thomas Christopher is the co-author of Garden Revolution and is a volunteer at Berkshire Botanical Garden.

Catskill Center’s program accepting applications ARKVILLE — The Catskill Center is accepting applications for the 2019 Platte Clove Artist-in-Residence Program. Applications are due by April 12 and can be submitted online at https://catskillcenter. submittable.com/submit. The residency, situated in the historic landscapes that were the inspiration for the Hudson River School, provides a tranquil and rustic workplace. A retreat for artists working in a variety of disciplines, it is located in the living

landscape where American art began. The residency is open to artists who have an affinity for the natural world. The residencies run from June through October. The work produced should foster an appreciation for the environment. Participants stay in a rustic cabin in the Platte Clove Preserve — 208 wild, pristine acres full of hiking trails, multi-tiered waterfalls, and old growth forests. Hiking trails to Indian Head and

Overlook mountains begin near the cabin and the 60-foot Plattekill Falls is a short walk from the cabin. Artists are selected by a jury comprised of representatives from local arts organizations as well as the Catskill Center. Artists working in all fields of art are encouraged to apply. For information and an application, visit the Catskill Center web site at www.catskillcenter.org/plattecloveartresidency or contact Katie Palm at kpalm@catskillcenter.org.

Hudson Hall presents Daniel Rothbart ‘Seeing Naples: Reports from the Shadow of Vesuvius’ HUDSON — Hudson Hall is proud to present a reading and panel discussion to celebrate the publication of Hudson and Brooklyn-based artist and author Daniel Rothbart’s “Seeing Naples: Reports from the Shadow of Vesuvius.” The book of travel writing is inspired by Rothbart’s experiences as a Fulbright scholar in Naples during the early 1990’s, and combines personal narrative with stories from the city’s history, ancient and modern, that speak to Neapolitan values and culture. Rothbart is joined for a panel discussion on Saturday, April 6, at 4 p.m. by critic and poet Wayne Koestenbaum, and Edgewise Press editor and co-publisher Richard Milazzo. Reservations are encouraged for this free event, and can be made at hudsonhall.org or by phone at 518-822-1438. “Read his marvelous text and look at his photos and you too will want to go there or, if you have been, have good memories of that trip.

views with remarkable Neapolitans and the photographs that accompany them. His discussions about art and history with scholar Riccardo Notte, son of artist Emilio Notte, record anecdotes about the Italian Futurist movement as seen by Emilio. The book also interprets dramatic historic narratives linked to the sights of the city, such as the life of Masaniello, a 17th cen-

tury fishmonger who led a people’s rebellion against the Spanish, developed a taste for power and privilege himself, and was assassinated in the Church of the Carmine. The book recounts a history of the Jews in Naples, describing an interview with Guglielmo (originally Wilhelm) Reiter, a holocaust survivor whose early adult life was one of flight and repeated near capture

by the Nazis, and whose life after the war was drastically and sadly changed. Daniel Rothbart holds a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design and an M.F.A. from Columbia University. In addition to Seeing Naples, he is the author of “Jewish Metaphysics as Generative Principle in American Art” (1994) and “The Story of the Phoenix” (1999). Wayne Koestenbaum is an American poet and cultural critic. He received a BA from Harvard University, an MA from Johns Hopkins University, and a PhD from Princeton University. He lives in New York City, where he is Distinguished Professor of English at the City University of New York Graduate Center. Richard Milazzo is a critic, curator, publisher, independent scholar and poet. In the 1970s, he was the editor and co-publisher of Out of London Press. He is the co-founding publisher and editor of Edgewise Press. In the 1980s, under the rubric of Collins & Milazzo, he co-curated art exhibitions and co-wrote works on art and art theory.

‘Still Standing: The Farrand House on Fairview’ by Paul Barrett HUDSON — The Hudson Area Library History Room presents the latest in its Local History Speaker series, “Still Standing: The Farrand House on Fairview” by Paul Barrett on Thursday, April 11, from 6-7:30 p.m. The Farrand family farmhouse, formerly known as “The Pines,” is an example of Gothic Revival architecture. It sits somewhat inconspicuously on Fairview Avenue, although it has been lately in the news as it faces demolition. Paul Barrett will weave the story of this iconic building from the 1850s to the present. Long before the bustle of strip mall traffic and fast food outlets, the Farrand operation — once encompassing over 160 acres — was a leading grower and shipper of pears in New York State and, amongst other things, introduced Peking ducks to the region. Aside from agriculture,

The Farrand House

the Farrands were involved in shipping, banking, warehousing, and even the management of sugar plantations in San Domingo. Barrett, a researcher and local historian, is a sales agent for Hunt Real Estate. This is his second talk for the library’s local

history series. A question and answer period and refreshments will follow the talk. For more information email programs@hudsonarealibrary.org, call 518-828-1792 x101, or visit the main desk in the library. The Hudson Area Library

History Room houses a special collection that pertains to the history of the city of Hudson, Greenport and Stockport; as well as Columbia County and New York state. The History Room hours are Tuesdays from 2-6 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon, during which people visit and browse the extensive collection of city directories, yearbooks and local history books, and research items in the archival collection. The public can also request information on local history that volunteers will research. Appointments are available upon request.

CATSKILL — Addison Allen’s bases-loaded hit with no outs in the bototm of the seventh capped a four-run rally and gave Catskill a 12-11 victory over Cairo-Durham in Wednesday’s Patroon Conference baseball game at Ricky Cramer Field.

But Catskill came back in the home half of the frame on an RBI single by Ian Alexander, bases loaded walks to Josh Buffa and Cam Sosa and Allen’s clutch hit. Alexander finished with a double, two singles and two RBI for the Cats (2-0).

NEW YORK — The red light in the ESPN booth was only seconds from flicking on, with millions of “Sunday Night Baseball” viewers waiting on the other side of the camera. Jessica Mendoza felt her anxiety growing, searching for a way to slow her pulse as the broadcast was about to begin. She found it in her partner, Aaron Boone, who would playfully shriek, “Oh my God the lights are about to go on and I’m freaking out!” “Of course he wasn’t freaking out,” Mendoza, now also working for the New York Mets as a special adviser, said last summer. “The only one freaking out was me. But he totally made me laugh and calmed me down.” That calm and collected attitude is precisely what landed Boone the job of New York Yankees manager last year — and is being put to the test as the Yankees stagger through their first week of the season. General manager Brian Cashman saw in Boone certain traits he believed former manager Joe Girardi lacked, notably an ability to connect with the younger Yankees during difficult times. In his 16 months on the job, Boone has brought to the clubhouse a unity that’s impossible to miss. He chats one-on-one with the players on a daily basis, either in the clubhouse or in the outfield during batting practice. The conversations are brief, sometimes no longer than a few seconds, but Boone has successfully opened a channel that had been previously closed to the Yankees. “Boonie definitely cares about us,” Aaron Judge said. “He makes it easy to play for him because you know he’s in your corner.” And that quality of

Boone’s is crucial for a team that has confronted setback after setback so far. Even with the slew of injuries that has sabotaged them, the Yankees never expected to drop four of their first six games to weaker opponents like the Baltimore Orioles and the Detroit Tigers. April’s schedule, in fact, was supposed to clear a path for the Yankees’ sprint to the top of the American League East: 23 of their first 28 games are against teams that finished under .500 in 2018. Things did not improve Wednesday, as the Yankees set a franchise record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game, whiffing 18 times in a 2-1 loss to the visiting Tigers. The Yankees batted .176 in the three games against Detroit, including 34 strikeouts. And fitting the early-season script, they lost yet another player to injury: veteran shortstop Troy Tulowitzki left the game with a left calf strain. Theoretically, these opening series were supposed to be the equivalent of calisthenics to prepare the Yankees for the coming wars with the Boston Red Sox, which begin with a two-game series April 16 and 17. But with the Yankees sitting at 2-4, Boone has already been forced to explain to fans that winning a championship is a process, not a guarantee, and that there’s nothing wrong with these Yankees that a winning streak cannot fix. Of course, big-league managers are expected to preach such optimism, but Boone’s decidedly low-key nature sets him apart. Unlike Girardi, who never quite seemed at ease, Boone exudes calm during his postgame news conferences. While acknowledging the Yankees’ woeful start See BOONE B6

Duke teammates RJ Barrett, left, and Zion Williamson react after defeating Florida State in the championship game of the ACC Tournament at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C. on March 16.

From Morant to Williamson, a look at top NBA prospects Dan Woike Los Angeles Times

If there was one moment that could be brighter than any shining moments this weekend in Minneapolis, it would be Zion Williamson cutting down the nets. Or tearing down the rim. Or destroying the backboard like it was a pair of his Nikes. But college basketball’s most famous player — and probably its best — won’t be in Minneapolis for the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament this weekend. Duke got eliminated by Michigan State on Sunday. While college basketball would certainly benefit from more Williamson, NBA executives and scouts don’t care. They’ve seen enough. It wouldn’t have taken a national championship for talent evaluators to crown Williamson as the top NBA prospect. That has been the case almost since the first day he stepped on campus and nothing that happened in any of his 33 games — including the loss to Michigan State — has changed any of that. That’s not to say there haven’t been performances during the NCAA Tournament that have changed some perceptions, because that has happened. Even with Duke out of the tournament, there are still NBA prospects playing into college basketball’s final weekend. Here’s a look at how some of the NCAA Tournament stars, starting at the top, are viewed by NBA scouts and executives: Zion Williamson, Duke, Fr., 6-7, F Williamson is the consensus No. 1 overall pick and should be selected there barring some catastrophic change in philosophy or circumstance. One of the fun parlor games NBA people have played this season with Williamson has been trying to assign a comparison to an NBA player with unmatched size, athleticism, strength and skill. Some have pointed at former Seattle forward Shawn Kemp. Others have looked at Williamson as a more dynamic Blake Griffin. “He’s a unicorn,” one Western Conference executive said. Williamson reminds some scouts of Charles Barkley with a little more recklessness. One executive said he sees some Lance Stephenson in Williamson’s game in how he runs the floor with the ball. Williamson certainly looks like he was born ready to make an impact the second he steps onto an NBA court. In four tournament games, he averaged 26 points and

8.5 rebounds on 61.6 percent shooting from the field and 41.2 percent from three-point range. He has some work to do as a playmaker for others and there are still some concerns about his weight, but he’s certainly been as good as advertised. Ja Morant, Murray State, So., 6-3, G Morant has climbed up to the No. 2 spot on a lot of boards this season, pushing past Duke wing R.J. Barrett in the eyes of some scouts and executives. While Barrett, in a lot of ways, possesses a perfect NBA frame and a lot of skills that should translate, there are questions whether he’s great at anything. Scouts don’t have that question about Morant. His ability to lead a team was on full display in the first two rounds of the tournament, beginning with a triple-double in an “upset” over Marquette. He joined an elite group of players — Draymond Green, Dwyane Wade, Andre Miller, Shaquille O’Neal and Cole Aldrich — who have had tripledoubles in NCAA Tournament games. Then in the second round, he showed his scoring acumen and ability to space the floor as a shooter. Morant might not end up as the No. 2 pick in the draft, but if he falls to No. 3 or beyond, it won’t be because of Murray State’s NCAA performance. De’Andre Hunter, Virginia, So., 6-7, G After losing in the first round of last year’s NCAA Tournament — the first No. 1 seed ever to do so — the Cavaliers

have been one of the better redemption stories of the last two weeks. In the eyes of NBA talent evaluators, Hunter’s the best NBA prospect on the team and a likely lottery pick even after a very quiet Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. Scouts love his defensive abilities — one called him the best in the field — and he has shot better than 42 percent from three-point range this season. He projects as someone who can guard multiple positions — maybe even point guards and power forwards — in the NBA. In the right situation, maybe Atlanta, Hunter could be the glue guy in a strong young nucleus. Another name to watch on Virginia is junior guard Ty Jerome. Scouts love his size as a point guard and have compared him to former NBA guards Greivis Vasquez and Matthew Dellavedova. Jarrett Culver, Texas Tech, So., 6-6, G Culver, the Big 12 player of the year, is another prospect who could find himself in the NBA lottery if he declares for the draft. Culver has struggled to shoot the ball during the NCAA Tournament — it’s the biggest knock on his status as a prospect — but he’s still been a productive scorer (21.5 points per game) and passer. If he shows NBA people that he’s a consistent three-point threat, it could help his stock, but scouts like that he’s willing to do the little things that help a team win.

Cassius Winston, Michigan State, Jr., 6-1, G The Big Ten player of the year, Winston is a classic Michigan State player. He’s not going to wow anyone with his athleticism, but he has won over fans in scouting communities with his toughness, smarts, attitude and intangibles. A career 43.3 percent mark from three-point range is a good sign, with some scouts comparing him to Denver rookie point guard Monte Morris, who has been a valuable piece in the Nuggets’ rotation. His strong play in the tournament (19.0 points, 7.8 assists) has definitely helped him if he decides to leave school after this season. Other buzz Keep an eye on 7-6 Central Florida center Tacko Fall. One Western Conference executive pointed to the success Philadelphia has had with Boban Marjonivic’s limited minutes as a compelling argument for taking Fall, who has impressed NBA people by improving every season. ... Auburn forward Chuma Okeke (6-8) was viewed as a possible first-round pick before tearing his left ACL. Tigers junior guard Justin Harper (5-11) has reminded some of former undersized bench scorer Will Bynum. Scouts like his athleticism. ... Purdue guard Carsen Edwards (6-1) got red hot during the tournament. He’ll get drafted if he declares, though concerns about his height will persist.

Best player at the Final Four? Easy to make a case for Virginia’s Hunter Chip Scoggins Star Tribune

De’Andre Hunter was a top-100 recruit as a high school senior, Pennsylvania’s Player of the Year and recipient of numerous scholarship offers. He chose Virginia, assuming, as most high-level recruits do, that he would make an immediate impact. Virginia coach Tony Bennett had other plans. Hunter suffered a sprained ankle near the start of the 2016-17 season. Even if he had been healthy, Bennett couldn’t promise much playing time based on the roster makeup. A decision was made to redshirt Hunter, who was less than thrilled with the plan. “It was a tough conversation for me,” Hunter said. “I was mad, of course. But I just thought about it, and it was the best thing for me.” It certainly appears so. Hunter has become one of the most versatile players in college basketball, a likely NBA lottery pick this spring and an integral part of Virginia’s first Final Four team since 1984. From redshirt to sixth man to lottery pick in three years is an unusual path, but Hunter is not a typical player. “He’s easily, in my opinion, the second-best player in the country, if not the best,” Virginia’s star guard Kyle Guy said. Hunter was named thirdteam All-America by several publications, as well as the ACC Defensive Player of the Year. His versatility is reflected in his statistics. He led Virginia in scoring, was second in rebounding, third in blocks, fourth in assists while shooting 44.6 percent from three-point range. He ranked third in the ACC in field-goal percentage (52.9 percent) and seventh in freethrow percentage (78.9), and he’s one of the best defensive players in the nation. “It’s kind of scary to see what he can do offensively and defensively just because there’s not many people that can do that in the country,” Guy said. “There’s no wonder he’s projected to go in the lottery3/8 in the NBA draft. Whoever gets him is getting a steal.” He’ll be perhaps the toughest matchup for Auburn, in Saturday’s first Final Four semifinal at U.S. Bank Stadium. Hunter doesn’t have a set position. At 6-foot-7 and 225 pounds, he’s listed as a guard, but he

is as comfortable playing on the perimeter as he is posting up smaller defenders. On defense, Hunter guards every position from point guard to power forward. He occasionally gets matched up on a center. “I can battle him,” Hunter said. Hunter’s versatility is what Bennett envisioned when he first saw him as a skinny high school player in Philadelphia. “There’s some guys you just watch and you say, they have a chance to touch greatness,” Bennett said. “There’s something in them. I saw him and thought, boy, he could be a guy that could really keep taking this program to a good spot.” The process took longer than Hunter expected with the redshirt season. He used that year to gain weight — he’s added about 25 pounds since arriving — and develop his perimeter shooting. And learn to play defense the way Bennett’s system requires. “I thought I played pretty good defense in high school and then I got here ...” he said, smiling. Sitting out as a redshirt tested his patience, especially when he saw former AAU teammates starting for other programs. “Everyone’s path is different,” Hunter said. He didn’t start a single game last season, coming off the bench as the sixth man, yet there was chatter in NBA circles that he still could have been a first-round pick. Any temptation of leaving school basically ended when Hunter suffered a broken wrist in the ACC tournament. The injury meant he watched Virginia’s historic loss to No. 16 seed Maryland-Baltimore County from the sideline. “I don’t really think about what I could have contributed to the game because it doesn’t matter,” he said. What matters is his impact on the team this season. He’s a unique player, and a difference-maker, and the Cavaliers will need Hunter’s best at both ends to win two games at the Final Four. “It starts on defense. He’s a great on-ball defender when he’s not fouling out,” junior guard Ty Jerome said with a laugh. “He guards every position3/8 for us. He can block shots. Offensively, he can make open threes, he makes catch-and-shoot threes, he’s a great isolation player, he can pass the ball. He’s as complete as they come.”

Although similar in content; each yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report contains new information about your drinking water and the system that provides it to you. The New York State Department of Health has implemented a source water assessment program for all public water sources in the state. A summary of the assessment for our system is included at the end of this report. Public Health Law requires that all water supply systems with greater than 1000 service connections provide their customers with annual water quality reports. The purpose of this law is to ensure that private and public water companies throughout New York State provide their customers with information regarding the quality of their water supply as well as the responsibilities, activities, and infrastructure of their water supplier. This report covers the period from January 1 to December 31, 2018. ,QFOXGHG LQ WKLV UHSRUW LV D YLRODWLRQ QRWLÂ¿FDWLRQ WKDW WKH ZDWHU V\VWHP ZDV IRXQG WR KDYH DQ DYHUDJH FRQFHQWUDWLRQ RI WRWDO 7ULKDORPHWKDQHV IRU WKH SUHYLRXV TXDUWHUV WKDW H[FHHGV WKH PD[LPXP FRQWDPLQDQW OHYHO 0&/ RI SDUWV SHU ELOOLRQ SSE .*** IMPROVEMENTS for 2018 include replacement of 200 meter registers as part of the water meter upgrade program.

As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and radioactive material and can pick up substances resulting from human and animal activity. The Catskill water systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water source is the Potic Reservoir located in the Town of Coxsackie on Schoharie Turnpike. Total capacity, including three-foot spillway boards, is approximately 249 million gallons with an estimated fourteen square mile water shed area. Contaminants that may be present in raw or source water before it is treated are microbial contaminants, inorganic contaminants, pesticides and herbicides, radioactive contaminants, and organic chemical contaminants. Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. Pesticides and herbicides may come from a variety of sources, such as agricultural and residential uses. Radioactive contaminants are usually naturally occurring. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production and can also come from gas stations, urban water runoff, and septic systems. Disinfection by-products such as trihalomethane and haloacetic acid, are a result of the water chlorination process. 7KH 9LOODJHÂ¶V ZDWHU SODQW FRQWDLQV WKUHH 0LFURÃ&#x20AC;RF 7ULGHQW SDFNDJH Â¿OWHUV HDFK FDSDEOH RI Â¿OWHULQJ JDOORQV SHU PLQXWH JSP 5DZ ZDWHU LV SXPSHG LQWR WKH SODQW E\ WKH UDZ ZDWHU SXPSV WKURXJK D FKHPLFDO IHHG URRP ZKHUH FDXVWLF VRGD IRU 3K DGMXVWPHQW 3& D FRDJXODQW D SRO\PHU D FRDJXODWLRQ DLG DUH LQMHFWHG :DWHU WKHQ Ã&#x20AC;RZV WKURXJK WKH XSÃ&#x20AC;RZ FODULÂ¿HUV RI WKH WULGHQW XQLWV EHIRUH SDVVLQJ WKURXJK WKH GXDO PHGLD Â¿OWHUV DQG LQWR WKH FOHDUZHOO EHORZ WKH SODQW $V ZDWHU H[LWV HDFK Â¿OWHU FKORULQH LV LQMHFWHG IRU GLVLQIHFWLRQ =LQF 2UWKRSKRVKDWH LV DGGHG WR WKH HIÃ&#x20AC;XHQW OLQH IRU FRUURVLRQ FRQWURO (DFK Â¿OWHU LV HTXLSSHG ZLWK DQ HIÃ&#x20AC;XHQW WXUELGPHWHU ZKLFK DOORZV IRU PRQLWRULQJ RI WKH SHUIRUPDQFH RI HDFK LQGLYLGXDO Â¿OWHU 7KH Â¿OWHUVÂ¶ EDFNZDVK LV EDVHG RQ SUHVVXUH ORVV WKURXJK WKH Â¿OWHU 7KH FODULÂ¿HUV Ã&#x20AC;XVK DXWRPDWLFDOO\ EDVHG RQ WLPH LQ XVH %DFNZDVK ZDWHU LV UHWXUQHG WR WKH EHJLQQLQJ RI WKH V\VWHP IRU UH Â¿OWHULQJ DQG XVH 7KH ZDWHU V\VWHP ODFNV VXIÂ¿FLHQW VWRUDJH FDSDFLW\ QHDU WKH DFWXDO VHUYLFH DUHDV $ EUHDN DORQJ WKH PDLQ Â´ WUDQVPLVVLRQ OLQH RU D SUREOHP DW WKH Â¿OWHU SODQW ZRXOG FDXVH D VHUYLFH LQWHUUXSWLRQ WR WKH HQWLUH V\VWHP :H FRQWLQXH WR ORRN IRU IXQGLQJ WKURXJK WKH FXUUHQW 1<6 'ULQNLQJ :DWHU 6WDWH 5HYROYLQJ )XQG DQG &OHDQ $LU &OHDQ :DWHU %RQG $FW Connections to the system number 2200, serving an estimated 8500 people.

Studies of laboratory animals show that the individual HAAs, dichloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid, can cause cancer following exposure to high levels over their lifetimes. Dichloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid are also known to cause other effects in laboratory animals after high levels of exposure, primarily on the liver, kidney, and nervous system and on their ability to bear healthy offspring.

Possible and actual threats to the drinking water sources were evaluated. The state source water assessment includes a susceptibility rating based on the risk posed by each potential source of contamination and how easily contaminants can move through the subsurface to the drinking water sources. The susceptibility rating is an estimate of the potential for contamination of the source water, it does not mean that the water delivered to consumers is, or ZLOO EHFRPH FRQWDPLQDWHG :KLOH QLWUDWHV DQG RWKHU LQRUJDQLF FRQWDPLQDQWV ZHUH GHWHFWHG LQ RXU ZDWHU LW VKRXOG EH QRWHG WKDW DOO GULQNLQJ ZDWHU LQFOXGLQJ bottled drinking water, may be reasonable expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants from natural sources.

After 10 years as manager, Girardi was stunned by his dismissal, but Yankees officials were so convinced a change

As part of his daylong interview with the club, Boone was presented a sheet of paper with the 2018 season statistics of the nine Yankees starters — without their names attached. Boone was told to construct a batting order based on the numbers alone. He aced the test: Boone’s 1-through-9 lineup matched the analysts’. Like everyone else in the organization who met with Boone that day, the team’s statisticians gave him an enthusiastic thumbs-up. A year later, his team has stumbled through its early tests. It is, of course, much too soon to say the Yankees are panicking: As first baseman Luke Voit observed Tuesday night, “it’s still super early.” As the Yankees left town in a subdued mood, the expression on their manager’s face still said it all: What, me, worry?

Woman still curious about childhood sweetheart I’ve only had one boyfriend. For most of my childhood, he was my best friend. When we were 14, I got scared we might fight, break up and never forgive each other, so I told him I wanted to go back to being just friends without explaining why. In retrospect, I know how DEAR ABBY stupid it was, but when I was 14 it made perfect sense. When I said it, he got angry, but more than angry he was very hurt. I never saw him again. My problem is, I haven’t been able to put myself in a relationship since. Sometimes he resurfaces in my dreams. When it happens I always feel happy “seeing” him again. I don’t know what to do about this nagging feeling and how I put off a love life because of it. It’s more than a decade later. He has probably changed so much and would want nothing to do with me, so I think it’s better to leave him be. But I’d like to talk to the person he is now, whoever that is. Is there a way I can solve this? Nervous Romantic

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Yes. If you know where he is, contact him and tell him you would like to talk privately with him. Explain what happened so many years ago and see if he is willing to hear you out. And please stop beating yourself up over what happened when you were 14, because it was normal teenage behavior. I’m 50. All my life I have known I didn’t want kids, and I have had to deal with people who can’t understand it. I have now reached the point where I can hardly wait until I’m 55 so I can live in a child-free senior living development.

The problem is, my partner is 10 years younger than I am. He won’t be able to move there when/if I do, so I’ll have to wait another 10 years to live in peace. I don’t want to break up with him, but I may have to. What is your take on the situation? Over-55 Only My “take” is that not all couples are exactly the same age, and if one partner qualifies to live in senior housing, his or her partner will not be excluded. My advice is to start researching retirement communities so you fully understand what the requirements and restrictions are before deciding to move there, with or without your partner. I know that you are all about good manners, but I think one current practice has gone WAY too far. When I sneeze, I get loud “bless you’s” from neighbors down the street or co-workers in the next room. I am not religious, and I find it offensive. These “blessers” have been indoctrinated in a 600-year-old religious practice designed to prevent the plague from jumping into the sneezer’s body. When someone passes gas or burps, the “excuse me’s” are often more offensive than the act — no longer the demure “pardon me” of the past. Sneezes, gas and burps are all natural parts of life. Can’t we just let them be, without making them special? Offended Out West

Vaginal atrophy is a common condition of older women, or any woman who is more than a few years post-menopause. The lining of the vagina is depenTO YOUR dent on estrogen to maintain its GOOD HEALTH normal health. As estrogen levels decrease after menopause, the lining of the vagina may become thinned, leading to symptoms of dryness and discomfort. Women often find that sexual intercourse is painful. Recurrent urinary tract infections may be the first way the problem is recognized. The vulva is affected, too, and in severe cases, the labia can even fuse. I routinely see women with symptoms who haven’t been diagnosed. I don’t often see women who have been diagnosed and who are still suffering. The hard part, at least in my experience, is making the diagnosis: Some women don’t know to ask, or are embarrassed to do so, and some doctors (especially internists like me) don’t routinely ask or perform a regular examination. Once the diagnosis is made, treatment is straightforward and effective: an estrogen cream or gel usually does a good job of relieving symptoms and reducing urine infection risk.

You can. All you have to do is tell your neighbors and co-workers your attitude about their thoughtfulness, and I am sure they will refrain. In droves.

Low hormone levels can lead to painful intercourse I need information about vaginal atrophy. I am 75 years old and have suffered for two and a half years. I am in misery.

Estradiol, the bioidentical female hormone, works well topically and is not absorbed very much into the blood, so it is considered safe. However, women with a history of estrogensensitive breast or uterine tumors absolutely should discuss use of vulvovaginal estrogen with the doctors taking care of these cancers. Men can be reassured that there is no risk to them, although one expert group recommends estrogen be applied at least 12 hours prior to intercourse. I am sometimes asked about laser treatment. Since I last wrote about vaginal atrophy, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning against laser devices that purport to treat symptoms or improve the appearance of the vulva and vagina. The FDA warned, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists agreed, that the effectiveness of these devices is unproven and that they have the potential to cause serious harm, including burns and scarring that result in worsening pain. Until there is better data to support the efficacy and safety of these treatments, I recommend against them.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are the kind of person to get into everything — and that means when you were young you were likely to get into a great deal of trouble, not knowing what was proper. When you are older, however, this ability to keep busy doing anything and everything, even at all hours, will surely give you an advantage over others that ushers you directly to the threshold of unimaginable success. Of course, that’s not guaranteed, for by itself it can be of little use; you must be willing to focus that energy, to parlay one success into several and to define what it is you really want. Like others born under your sign, you can be quite sensitive and emotional, but also quite aggressive and hard. Which you are at any given time depends a great deal upon the circumstances — and on what happened to you just before the encounter. Also born on this date are: Pharrell Williams, rapper; Juicy J, rapper; Bette Davis, actress; Colin Powell, military leader and statesman; Booker T. Washington, educator; Spencer Tracy, actor; Gregory Peck, actor; Judith Resnik, Challenger astronaut. 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. SATURDAY, APRIL 6 ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may be feeling stuck today, but through a creative opportunity you should be able to break free and satisfy your needs. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — A plan recently made may have to fall apart a bit before you can put it back together and make it better than it was before.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You are reacting to something that was never intended, and in that way you are making an accidental occurrence worse than it really was. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may have to work hard today to find a reason to keep doing the very thing you feel strongest about. What does this paradox mean? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You may be caught off guard today by someone who is behaving very much out of character. The best thing to do is get out of the way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re moving things forward while a rival is trying to move them backward, and the conflict may well consume your entire day. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may be judging your own work through a lens that doesn’t let you see things realistically. It’s time to listen to someone else. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You’re very interested in seeing something done in the most decent and fair manner possible, and it may be up to you to do it that way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You’ve had it with the kinds of sacrifices that have been asked of you lately. Today, you must stand your ground and keep what’s yours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You needn’t bend to someone else’s will just because he or she is more aggressive or bombastic. He or she is just being a bully. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You know how to make things more harmonious both at home and at the workplace. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You feel like you need a break from the kinds of issues that have consumed you as of late. You may be able to grab a few quiet moments today.
