“The investigation remains ongoing at this time pending autopsy results, and positive identification of the deceased,” according to a statement from state police. “Updates will be provided when available.” The human remains were discovered by two men fishing near Schodack Island. The men notified state police. The autopsy is expected to be performed at Ellis Hospital in Schenectady on Tuesday, Columbia County Coroner

Trusts From A1

President Bob Knighton said. “One grant will help pay for our part-time executive director,” Knighton said. “The other grant will pay for us to have a consultant to improve our fundraising efforts.” The part-time executive director, who was hired last year with a grant, helps the land trust with stewardship and management of 1,000 acres of property, Knighton said. “Right now she is working on developing interpretative signs for Mawignack Preserve,” Knighton said. The 143-acre Catskill property is owned by Scenic Hudson and managed by Greene Land Trust. The signs will be developed in collaboration with the Thomas Cole House National Historic Site, Greene County Historical Society and the Mohican Native American tribe because of the historical significance of the property, Knighton said. “The property is open to the public now,” he said, “There is a one-mile loop visitors can walk.” The consultant will work with the land trust and not do any fundraising independently. “They will help us identify potential donors and improve our outreach materials,” Knighton said. Grants can help land trusts in a variety of ways, Knighton said. “They want to see that the grant will help the land trust to become more effective by

Michael Blasl said. But it will be several weeks before toxicology and other reports are completed, he added. “When we get autopsy results everything else should either be answered or give us leads to find the answers,” said Trooper Aaron Hicks, a spokesman with state police. Police continue to search for information on whether the remains are male or female, approximate age, how long the remains were there before they were discovered and if foul play is involved. “There is nothing else really known at this time,” Blasl said. The island is located several hundred feet from the shore

of Stuyvesant, and spans portions of Greene, Columbia and Rensselaer counties. It is located between the Hudson River and Schodack Creek. It contains 66 campsites, picnic tables, fishing and eight miles of trails for biking, hiking and hunting. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails are maintained during the winter. This is the second case involving human remains reported to police in Columbia County in recent weeks. Skeletal remains were unearthed in another location April 7 by a contractor who was using an excavator on property located off Route 9J, also in Stuyvesant.

Those remains, which were found buried several feet beneath the ground, were sent to the State Museum in Albany for study. Lisa Anderson and Julie Weatherwax from the State Museum Office of Bioarchaeology conducted the analysis. An investigation by the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office determined the remains to be historical in nature and that no criminal activity had occurred.

providing the funds for adding staff, board development or acquisitions of property,” Knighton said. “The grant doesn’t cover the purchase of the property but associated costs such as legal fees or title searches.” Columbia Land Conservancy used its Transaction grant to help purchase the ThomasFinch Farm, Communications and Grant Manager Rebecca Walker said. “Thanks to a communitywide effort led by the Columbia Land Conservancy, including a multi-pronged partnership with Equity Trust, Dutchess Land Conservancy and Scenic Hudson, Ancram’s beloved Thompson-Finch Farm will remain a farm long into the future,” according to a statement from Columbia Land Conservancy last month. “More than 300 community members plus multiple organizations and foundations contributed to the $1.5 million cost of saving the farm and on March 11, their collective vision finally became a reality.” Columbia Land Conservancy agreed to a 99-year ground lease with farmers Don and Marnie MacLean, who farmed the property for more than 30 years. The Catalyst grant will be used to further Columbia Land Conservancy’s educational outreach, Walker said. “The Catalyst Grant will support our work with Hudson High School and local community groups at Greenport Conservation Area as part of the Learning Landscapes program,” Walker said. “Learning Landscapes is an educational model developed by the Land Trust Alliance that encourages

students to adopt public land and care for it, while using the site as a learning laboratory.” The Greenport Conservation Area is a 736-acre site with seven miles of trails, according to clctrust.org. “CLC believes this program [Learning Landscapes] will serve as a catalyst for increasing community engagement at the site, both through placebased activities as well as a relevance and advertising campaign featuring this resource,” Columbia Land Conservancy wrote in its grant application. “By working to build a generation of students who are interested in and passionate about Greenport, we believe we can use this work to engage the entire Hudson community and its surroundings.” The activities in Learning Landscapes will be a unique educational opportunity for Hudson students. Potential activities include documenting bird-nesting success, tracking annual bird migrations, identifying invasive plant species, monitoring monarch butterfly populations and better understanding salamander adaptations to climate change. “We will develop curricular and extracurricular activities using the site as a learning laboratory to increase awareness of environmental and conservation issues relevant to their community, encourage critical thinking skills about how to address these issues, and provide information about conservation stewardship behaviors and actions students can take outside of the classroom.” Throughout the state, grants ranged from $3,550 to $100,000. Grants by region included 17 awards directing

$533,970 to the Capital Region; four awards directing $111,550 to Central New York and the Mohawk Valley; four awards directing $142,500 to Long Island; 21 awards directing $521,380 to the Mid-Hudson Valley; three awards directing $90,000 to New York City; 11 awards directing $456,100 to the North Country; and 10 awards directing $394,500 to Western New York, the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier, according to governor.ny.gov. “Land trusts make a real difference in local communities, maximizing public and private dollars to protect and preserve New York’s natural resources,” Cuomo said in a statement last week. “Through the Environmental Protection fund, New York is bolstering our extensive network of land trusts that provide support for environmental and open space programs, generating revenue, creating jobs and ensuring a cleaner and healthier New York.” State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos emphasized the importance of the funding. “As we celebrate Earth Week by honoring the value of our natural resources in our daily lives, we recognize that land conservation is essential in providing endless environmental and economic benefits for New Yorkers and visitors alike,” Seggos said last week. “DEC partnerships with land trusts are crucial to achieving our conservation goals, and we look forward to continuing to work together to protect and enhance our environment.”

according to greenegovernment.com. Unlike the senior bus service, the transit system is not door-to-door service. Seniors over 60 may ride the transit system at no cost by registering for a senior coupon book. Seniors can register by calling 518-755-3555 or by receiving a registration form from the driver. Greene County Department of Human Services Executive Director Theresa McGee Ward did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden had been briefed on the issue Tuesday by Ward. “It is an unusual circumstance where all our substitutes [drivers] are ill or out of town,” Groden said. “One broke their hip, one got transferred, one broke their back and one had to take a leave due to a serious illness.” The driver who transferred is distributing 25 Meals on Wheels on the mountaintop, a route that takes two hours, Groden said. “Meals on Wheels is a priority, so the shopping bus was put on hold,” he said. Groden authorized Ward to seek a temporary driver from

the highway department. The department has also been trying to set up interviews for per-diem drivers but applicants have been canceling due to the per-diem status, Groden said. The per-diem nature of the job is in part to fit the needs of the applicants, Groden said. “These are typically seniors who don’t want to work a regular shift,” he said. Ward did not have an obligation to notify Groden or the county legislature of the issue. “There is not a change in policy,” Groden said. “We are not dumping the bus. We will get it back up and running as soon as we can.” Local officials including Catskill Town Supervisor Doreen Davis, Catskill Village President Vincent Seeley and Legislator Linda Overbaugh, R-Catskill, became aware of the issue through a post Grif-

fin made on Facebook. Davis contacted the Department of Aging for answers but did not receive a response, she said. The county’s website does not indicate that the shopping bus is no longer available.

After these stops, the bus would take the group to the Acra Senior Center for lunch. “I always looked forward to Tuesdays,” Griffin said. “Tuesdays were when I put on my good clothes to go shopping and have lunch and visit with people.” The bus also took the seniors on special excursions including Colonie Center on the third Thursday of the month and seasonal trips such as North Lake, Lake George and a fall foliage tour of the mountaintop, Griffin said. There was no fee to ride the bus, but a suggested donation of $3 to $4, Griffin said. Another option for seniors in the transition period is the Greene County Transit system, which offers daily service to Athens, Cairo, Catskill, Coxsackie, Greenville, Palenville and weekly service in Hunter/ Tannersville and Windham,

Hudson police honored for lifesaving, bravery Staff report Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — A string of burglaries at city businesses, an arson that reduced a century-old factory to ashes, a co-worker who extorted an elderly man out of thousands of dollars — these were just a few of the crimes Hudson City Police Department members were honored this month with solving. Hudson City Police Department members received awards for bravery and quick action in the line of duty at a ceremony held April 19 at Club Helsinki, 405 Columbia St. The event was well-attended by officers, area politicians, a city judge and members of the Columbia County District Attorney’s Office. The ceremony, held every three years, recognized police officers, detectives and those in the department’s administration with awards for good conduct, honorable service, unit citations, exceptional duty, meritorious service and live-saving efforts. Among the honors, the entire department received a unit citation presented by Columbia County District Attorney Paul Czajka. The departmentwide citation recognized members for their work in solving the shootings that took place in 2017. In the summer of 2017, Hudson was swept up in a violent crime wave. By the time the summer had ended, one man was killed, and four adults and two children were wounded in seven separate shootings. “Our members aggressively and unselfishly participated to put an end to the violence,” Police Chief L. Edward Moore said. Officers voluntarily gave up scheduled vacations and days off as they were temporarily placed on 12-hour shifts, Moore said. Officers’ days were spent on enhanced patrols, surveillance, transcribing audio tapes, cataloguing evidence, interviewing suspects and tracking down leads, he

said. “The sheer force of our combined and methodical investigations led to the successful prosecution of the people who orchestrated the violence,” Moore said. “So thorough was our effort that several of our suspects will never return from prison to plague our city again.” The following members received awards, medals and citations. Some received multiple awards for the same title: CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Honorable Service Medal: Det. Nicolas Pierro and Sgt. Jason Finn were honored, and Det. Sgt. Jason Finn, Det.

OUR VIEW

Business and the community need broadband Don’t underestimate the logic of children, especially children who are tech-savvy high school students. U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, recently visited Hunter-Tannersville Central High School in Greene County, where he met with students. The students asked questions with tremendous focus, Delgado said, and they named their top concerns as improving cell phone service and expanding access to broadband. Possibly without realizing it, the students were onto something. Greene County Director of Economic Development and Planning Karl Heck, agreed high-speed internet is of critical importance to the future of

Greene County. It is also critical to Columbia County’s future. From local businesses to second homeowners who want to work at least part-time from home, broadband is key to drawing both people and businesses to the area, Heck said. Many residents of the 19th expressed similar concerns and the focus was clearly on economic development. Spurring economic development was the key question most asked as Delgado toured the district. Expanded broadband has the potential to change the Twin Counties’ course and create new access points to upstate, and even downstate, markets. Delgado said pursuing

expanded broadband access is critical. Stating the problem is easy; finding the solution may not be that simple. “We have to get rural broadband here, and I am working very hard to figure out how we can do that, whether through public-private partnerships or whether through a public works investment process,” Delgado said. There is no longer any doubt that broadband is the first priority. Businesses in the 21st century can’t thrive or survive without it. Broadband expansion would make the 19th District in general, and the Twin Counties specifically, more inviting to businesses. And we can’t thrive or survive without them.

NRA’s finances should be investigated The Washington Post

During his successful campaign for president in 2016, Donald Trump got more help from the National Rifle Association than from any other outside group. No surprise, then, that he would spring to its defense by criticizing New York officials who are investigating the organization. But troubling questions about the group’s finances exist indeed, some were raised by NRA leaders - and an investigation is in order. New York Attorney General Letitia James has opened an inquiry into the tax-exempt status of the NRA, which is chartered in New York. Letters were sent last week to the NRA and affiliated entities, including its charitable foundation, to preserve financial records, and The New York Times reported that some of the NRA’s related businesses received subpoenas. The NRA said it would cooperate with the probe, but earlier it accused the attorney general of going on

“a taxpayer-funded fishing expedition.” Trump echoed that criticism with a tweet Monday that the NRA was “under siege by (New York Gov. Andrew) Cuomo and the New York State A.G., who are illegally using the state’s legal apparatus” to destroy the NRA. Law enforcement should always be cautious in going after advocacy organizations, particularly when, as in this case, they are on opposite sides of a partisan divide. James’ earlier inflammatory language only underlines that point. A Democrat, she made scrutiny of the NRA and its tax status a platform in her 2018 campaign, telling Ebony magazine that the organization held itself out “as a charitable organization” but was in fact “a terrorist organization.” However, the NRA’s own actions furnish strong argument for an investigation. Reporting by the Trace and the New Yorker found hundreds of millions of dollars in

questionable payments flowing from the nonprofit to a small group of NRA executives, contractors and vendors. Soon after their jointly produced article appeared, NRA President Oliver North was ousted in a power struggle with longtime chief executive Wayne LaPierre. North raised concerns about the handling of the group’s finances and possible loss of its nonprofit status. LaPierre countered that North had tried to extort him to resign, and on Monday, LaPierre was given a unanimous vote of confidence from the board. We find the political pressure this organization wields against common-sense gun laws to be odious, but that is not the issue here. Rather, as James said in a response to Trump’s tweet, the issue is making sure the laws that apply to nonprofits are properly and fairly enforced.

Time to get much tougher on the anti-vaccine crowd

Juliette Kayyem The Washington Post

I love my children. And, if I’m in a gracious mood, I believe that parents who do not vaccinate their children love theirs as much as I love mine. But, I am quite confident in this fact: I love their children much more than they love mine. These anti-vaxxer parents - call them free-riders or even pro-plague - are putting my children and our communities at risk to cater to their erroneous belief that vaccinations would harm their children rather than contribute to the elimination of childhood diseases. It is time we stop viewing the anti-vax movement and its adherents’ responsibility for the measles outbreak as a public health problem. With more than 700 reported cases confirmed in 22 states, it is now a public safety crisis, and the tools of public safety - arrests, fines, isolation - are absolutely necessary. We are not in a “both sides” moment. On Friday, President Donald Trump finally conceded that his previous statements questioning the safety of vaccinations (promoting the debunked claim that vaccinations contribute to autism) were erroneous. He didn’t put it that way, of course; instead, when pressed, he said, “They have to get the shots.” Just as he does with “both sides” statements regarding white supremacists, Trump promotes risky, unscientific ideologies until the reality of their harms becomes too dangerous to ignore. And, when it comes to the measles, it is too late to ignore. “Get the shots” is not a plan. We are in a crisis; an avoidable one, but a crisis nonetheless. Measles cases in the United States have exceeded

Trump’s lie No. 10,000 is a whopper The Washington Post

As President Donald Trump zoomed past a lowly personal milestone - his 10,000th false or misleading statement in his 27-month-old presidency, according to The Washington Post FactChecker - he let fly a series of whoppers on a subject that logic would suggest he’d be better off leaving unremarked: family separation. The president, whose own administration imposed and then rescinded a systematic policy of wrenching migrant children from their parents, with no protocol in place to reunite them, now poses as a paragon of compassion that ended cruel laws in place before he took office. This is false. During a Fox News interview Sunday, Trump suggested that his heartless policy had continued practices in place under the Obama and George W. Bush administrations, among others. In contrast to his predecessors, Trump said, “we’ve been on a humane basis . . . we go out and stop the separations.” “The problem is you have 10 times as many people coming up with their families. It’s like Disneyland now.”

In fact, the “zero tolerance” policy was formulated (with White House approval) by Trump’s attorney general at the time, Jeff Sessions. The policy mandated automatic imprisonment for undocumented adult asylum seekers apprehended at the border, meaning migrant children would be seized from their parents’ custody and transferred for placements scattered around the country by the Department of Health and Human Services. Several thousand parents and children were left with no means of contacting each other and no documents to facilitate their eventual reunification. It was an act of singular cruelty by an administration that has not shied from demonstrating malice toward migrants. Neither Obama nor Bush prosecuted policies remotely similar to Trump’s. While families were occasionally separated before Trump entered office, it was generally when there was reason to believe the parents posed a threat to their children. And when the Justice Department announced what it called a “new” policy that separated

families a year ago, officials justified it as a response to a surge in undocumented Central American migrants crossing the border. The resulting national uproar forced Trump’s aboutface, which he now seems to regret. During the interview Sunday, he called the policy’s revocation a “disaster” and blamed it for what he called a tenfold increase in migrant families apprehended after crossing the border. In fact, the increase has been closer to sixfold, which is bad enough - and at least partly a testament to the panic among Central American migrants seeking to enter the country before Trump fixes on some new draconian course of action. In the meantime, the damage caused by the policy of separation persists. In court papers filed this month, the administration said it hoped it would take no more than six more months to identify the remaining children and match them with their parents - but it said it could take as long as two years. Thus has the administration fused inhumanity with incompetence.

lens of public safety, it is the parents who should be punished. Why not make them pay for the harms they are causing? Fines for the increased public safety burdens put on these communities by a few ought not to be the responsibility of all. In many states, when hikers ignore warnings that certain trails are too dangerous and then have to be rescued, the fees for the rescue must be paid by the hikers. It’s a fine for making a self-centered decision that placed an unreasonable burden on a larger community. Measles should be no different. In the same way we have created sex-offenders lists to protect our children, communities can inventory families that choose not to be vaccinated, notifying employers of these parents as well as neighbors who may choose not to expose their children. Exceptions might be made for religious or medical reasons, but not for those who are simply choosing to ignore the science. The anti-vaxxers are also putting at risk populations that cannot be vaccinated due to health conditions or allergic reactions. Mostly children and the elderly, these people are dependent on the rest of us being vaccinated so that they can benefit from herd protections; they should be the only acceptable free-riders. Yes, this language is harsh, the language of a homeland security expert, not a pediatrician. Maybe the threat of greater penalties will get these parents to be less self-centered. But, sometimes a crisis requires a change in orientation if only to scare the freeriders into loving my children as much as I love theirs.

the highest number on record since the disease was declared eliminated nationwide in 2000. Trump’s statement came too late; the measles are back. It is important to remember that the measles outbreak is not only the result of lowinformation communities or religious exceptions. Indeed, religious leaders are urging their adherents to get the shots, even in the Hassidic communities hit hardest by outbreaks. Imagine, instead, that this outbreak is what happens when negligent people do negligent things, such as sending a kid to school with a loaded gun and hoping for the best. In some places, sadly, more education is necessary, especially in isolated communities. But some of the crisis was bred in well-off and informed communities, where voodoo science is given equal weight with yoga and kale; vaccination rates in areas of California have, at times, been less than rates in South Sudan. And this utter negligence has had, until last week, a safe harbor in the White House (and is being amplified by Russia, a hostile foreign power that exacerbates this false narrative through its disinformation bot-farms to promote an unsafe America). The initial steps we have taken are essential: prohibit non-vaccinated children from public spaces, including schools; promote educational efforts; and, in extreme cases, force isolation on pockets of populations that might have been exposed to the outbreak, as is happening now in the University of California system. But these efforts impact the children who might have been put at risk by the decision of individuals not to vaccinate. Viewed through the

Accused Capital Gazette shooter enters insanity plea Lynh Bui The Washington Post

The Maryland man charged in the Capital Gazette newspaper shooting that left five staff members dead has entered a plea of not criminally responsible to all charges in the case, citing a “mental disorder” that prevented him from conforming to the law. Public defenders representing Jarrod Ramos did not detail the nature of the mental health issues they believe are involved but said that he “lacked substantial capacity to appreciate the criminality of his conduct,” according to court filings submitted Monday. The plea comes after attorneys have spent months sparring over whether prosecutors have provided the defense team enough details about the 23 counts Ramos faces. Ramos, 39, of Laurel, has been charged with firstdegree murder and other

offenses in the June 28, 2018, mass shooting. Police say Ramos blasted through the doors of the newspaper’s office in the Annapolis area with a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, killing five: editorial editor Gerald Fischman, 61; assistant editor Rob Hiaasen, 59; sportswriter and editor John McNamara, 56; sales assistant Rebecca Smith, 34; and reporter Wendi Winters, 65. Ramos barricaded the office’s back doors, employed smoke grenades and planned the attack in the midst of a long-standing grudge with the daily newspaper, prosecutors said. Ramos began threatening the newspaper in letters and social media after it published a column about him pleading guilty to harassing a former high school classmate through social media, police and prosecutors said. Ramos’ trial is scheduled to begin in November and expected to last two weeks.

Trump sues to stop Deutsche Bank from giving records to Congress By Peter Blumberg and Robert Burnson Bloomberg News (TNS)

President Donald Trump sued to block Deutsche Bank AG and Capital One Financial Corp. from complying with congressional subpoenas targeting his bank records, escalating the president’s showdown with Democratic lawmakers investigating his finances. The legal maneuver follows reports from last week that the German bank had started the process of giving documents related to loans made to Trump and his businesses to the New York state attorney general, who is conducting her own probe. “The subpoenas were issued to harass President Donald J. Trump, to rummage through every aspect of his personal finances, his businesses, and the private information of the President and his family, and to ferret about for any material that might be used to cause him political damage,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in the introduction to the 13-page complaint filed Monday in Manhattan federal court.

OLIVIER DOULIERY/ABACA PRESS/TNS

Then-presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks as sons Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and daughter Ivanka Trump look on during the grand opening of the Trump International Hotel on Oct. 26, 2016 in Washington, D.C. Trump has sued to block Deutsche Bank AG and Capital One Financial Corp. from complying with congressional subpoenas targeting his bank records.

Joining Trump as plaintiffs were his eldest children, Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka Trump, as well as the Trump Organization, the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust and other

entities affiliated with the president’s family. The complaint is very similar to one Trump filed last week in Washington to block Elijah Cummings, the Maryland

Democrat who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, from getting records held by Trump’s longtime accounting firm Mazars USA LLP.

Researchers say there’s a simple way to reduce suicides: Increase the minimum wage Andrew Van Dam The Washington Post

Since 2000, the suicide rate in the United States has risen 35 percent, primarily because of the significant increase in such deaths among the white population. There are hints that these deaths are the result of worsening prospects among less-educated people but few immediate answers. But maybe the solution is simple: pursue policies that improve the prospects of working-class Americans. Researchers have found that when the minimum wage in a state increased, or when states boosted a tax credit for working families, the suicide rate decreased. Raising the minimum wage and the earned-income tax credit (EITC) by 10 percent each could prevent about 1,230 suicides annually, according to a working paper circulated by the National Bureau of Economic Research this week. The EITC was designed to boost the wages of low-income workers, particularly families with children. Many states have supplemented or expanded the credit. Raising the minimum wage and increasing the tax credit help less-educated, lowwage workers who have been hit hardest by what are now known as “deaths of despair,” according to the analysis of 1999-2015 death data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by University of California economists Anna Godoey and Michael Reich, as well as public-health specialists William Dow and Christopher Lowenstein.

Deaths of despair, a phrase popularized by Princeton economists Anne Case and Angus Deaton in a pair of widely cited 2015 and 2017 papers, typically refers to rising death rates among middle-aged white non-Hispanic Americans. In 2017, Case and Deaton wrote that those rising death rates can be attributed to “drug overdoses, suicides, and alcohol-related liver mortality particularly among those with a high school degree or less.” To evaluate how policy choices could affect those deaths, the Berkeley team identified states that had raised their minimum wage or EITC between 1999 and 2015. They also included states whose wages were affected by federal minimum-wage increases. The researchers then measured the change in the rate for such deaths before and after the policies took effect. To control for national trends, they compared the changes with states that hadn’t changed their minimum wage or EITC. The researchers looked at suicides and drug overdoses. Unlike degenerative liver disease linked to alcohol abuse, those events can be connected to a single point in time. The team found little change in drug overdoses, whether intentional or accidental, after the new policies took effect. This falls in line with the growing consensus that, unlike other deaths of despair, drug overdoses probably are linked to increased availability of addictive (and lethal) drugs. But the number of suicides that weren’t related to drugs

dropped noticeably. Among adults without a college education, increasing the EITC by 10 percent appears to have decreased non-drug suicides by about 5.5 percent. Raising the minimum wage by 10 percent reduced suicides by 3.6 percent. “When they implement these policies, suicides fall very quickly,” Godoey said in an interview. Although raising the minimum wage led to an immediate decrease in suicides, raising the EITC had a delayed effect, resulting in fewer suicides the following year, once the tax change came into force. In both cases, it appears as though taking home more money had a positive effect. The effect was strongest among young women and others who were most likely to have minimum-wage jobs. Among men, black and Hispanic Americans saw the largest effect. Leading minimum-wage scholar Arindrajit Dube of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who shows in a forthcoming publication in the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics that higher minimum wages increase incomes for the poorest families, said the two studies provide “important additional evidence on the possible impact of a higher minimum wage on the standard of living - or living at all.” In a 2014 analysis in American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, William Evans of the University of Notre Dame and Craig Garthwaite of Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management found that

Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams will not run for Senate in 2020 Vanessa Williams The Washington Post

Stacey Abrams, the Georgia Democrat who garnered national attention after narrowly losing her bid for governor last year, announced Tuesday that she will not run for Senate, despite a fierce lobbying effort by party leaders. Abrams, 45, who in recent months has said she also was considering a presidential bid, did not say in a video statement what her next political move would be. She did vow to continue her fight against voter suppression, which she has said played a

factor in her gubernatorial race against Republican Brian Kemp. “I am so grateful for all of the support and encouragement I have received, from fellow Georgians to leaders of Congress and beyond,” Abrams said in a two-minute video posted to Twitter early Tuesday. “However the fights to be waged require a deep commitment to the job and I do not see the U.S. Senate as the best role for me in this battle for our nation’s future.” Georgia has been a reliably Republican state, but shifting demographics there

have convinced Democrats that they have a chance of winning a Senate seat. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., recruited Abrams for the seat, held by first-term Republican Sen. David Perdue, seeing it as a prime opportunity if Abrams were the Democratic candidate. Although her decision leaves party leaders without a candidate who has run statewide in Georgia, Abrams said she would “do everything in my power to ensure Georgia elects a Democrat to the United States Senate in 2020.”

mothers who received a higher EITC reported better mental and physical health. In a paper to be published in American Economic Review: Insights, David Autor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, David Dorn of the University of Zurich and Gordon Hanson of the University of California at San Diego drew on data from between 1990 and 2014 to find that the death rate among men tended to rise in cities where jobs were vanishing because of competition from cheap foreign goods.

emerge in spring, but I wait until the bush has finished flowering in late June before I tackle the other steps. One thing to keep in mind as you prune is that roses are very forgiving. They are relatively fast growing, so if you make a cut you regret, a healthy rosebush will soon replace the lost limb. This is especially true if you give your rose bushes a boost by administering the recommended dose in early spring of some fertilizer recommended on the label as a rose or shrub food.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Windfall Elimination Provision affects state retiree Dear Rusty: I have a question in regard to the “windfall act.” I am receiving a pension from the State of Nevada. I retired from the State, and did not pay into Social Security, but I worked in the private sector before and am currently working in the private sector. My question is: How much “penalty” will I be subjected to when I decide to finally hang it up? Signed: State Retiree Dear State Retiree: The State of Nevada is one of 27 states which, for all or some employee categories, do not participate in the Federal Social Security (SS) program; rather their State pensions are designed to provide a retirement benefit in lieu of Social Security. Because you

covered earnings you have. If you have 20 or fewer years of SS-covered employment, here’s how WEP will affect your Social Security benefit: Your actual benefit amount is based upon your “primary insurance amount” (PIA), which is computed using the average monthly earnings from the 35 highest earning years over your lifetime, known as your Average Indexed Monthly Earnings or “AIME” (only earnings up to the maximum payroll tax cap for each year are counted). Your PIA is the Social Security benefit you are entitled to at your full retirement age. Normally, when WEP doesn’t apply, your Social Security benefit amount is computed by taking the monthly aver-

age of those 35 inflation-adjusted years of earnings (your AIME) and using a standard formula to arrive at your PIA. That formula includes using 90 percent of the first part (called a “bend point”) of your AIME to be the first portion of three used to arrive at your PIA amount. For those first becoming eligible for benefits in 2019 (usually at age 62) that first bend point is $926, which means that $833 (90 percent) would normally be the first contribution to your PIA. But when WEP applies, the formula is different; instead of using 90 percent of that first bend point, if you had 20 or less years of covered-SS substantial earnings they use 40 percent, which would mean that the first bend point would

add $370 to your PIA amount instead of $833, a reduction of $463. Remember that the bend points used are those for your year of Social Security eligibility, not for the year you claim benefits. The percentage used to compute that first “bend point” goes up by 5 percent for each year over 20 years of substantial SS-covered earnings you have — for example, if you have 22 years of SScovered substantial earnings, the formula would use a 50 percent multiplier instead of 40 percent. And at 30 years of SS-covered earnings you’re no longer affected by WEP. WEP can’t reduce your PIA by more than half of your NV pension amount, and there is also a maximum WEP reduc-

tion which might apply. And finally, please note that any benefit estimates you might get from Social Security now will not include the WEP reduction, which will be applied only when you actually claim your Social Security benefits.

CHATHAM – Shirley Harvey singled in Brooke-Lyn Doyle with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Chatham a 2-1 victory over Maple Hill in Monday’s Patroon Conference softball game. With the score tied, 1-1, Doyle opened the Panthers’ seventh with a single to center. After Skype sacrificed Doyle to second, Harvey came through with her clutch hit to give the Panthers their eighth league win against one loss. Harvey finished with a double, two singles and two RBI to spark Chatham (10-2 overall). Doyle had two singles. Alysa Houghtaling had three singles for Maple Hill. Emma Dugan added a double and single and Alexis Tedford doubled. Jenna Skype was the winning pitcher, striking out two, walking one and allowing one

unearned run and 11 hits. Houghtaling took the loss, giving up two runs and five hits with four strikeouts and six walks. “What a game,” Chatham coach J.B. Brantley said. “Hats off to Coach Austin and his team. They battled today and kept the pressure on. I have to give credit to our girls as well. Shirley came up big, hitting the game-tying double in the fifth, then singling in the bottom of the seventh to score Brooke-Lyn. “This felt like a sectional game and I was glad our younger girls got to experience a game like this. We look to continue to work on some things as we go to Maple Hill for a rematch on Wednesday at 3:45 p.m.” Catskill 7, Taconic Hills 6 CRARYVILLE -- Catskill grabbed the lead in the sixth See SOFTBALL B3

CHATHAM — Matt Jung pitched a complete-game four-hitter with nine strikeouts as Maple Hill edged Chatham, 3-1 in Monday’s Patroon Conference baseball game. Maple Hill’s victory tightened things up in the Patroon Conference standings as the Wildcats (9-3) moved to within a half game of the league-leading Panthers and Coxsackie-Athens (9-2). Jung was in control from the start, limiting the potent Chatham lineup to just one extra base hit. The Wildcats got on the board in the third inning when Erik Burns walked, was sacrificed to second by James Miller, went to third on an infield error and scored on Kyle Tedford’s single. A second run came home on a wild pitch. They added an insurance tally in the fifth when Sean LaFalce singled, stole second and scored on Tyler Hanrahan’s double. Chatham got one back in the sixth when Ryan Doyle walked, stole second and scored on a throwing error. Hanrahan double, singled and drove in a run for the wildcats. Tedford had a single and an RBI and LaFalce singled. Hunter Scheriff’s double was Chatham’s only extra base hit. Curtis Buchan, Grayson Van Wie and Garner Boshart all singled.

Talladega win boosts Elliott, Chevy Field Level Media

Chase Elliott’s wildly popular victory Sunday at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway was a statement-maker for Chevrolet and Elliott’s Hendrick Motorsports team – a not-so-subtle reminder that Chevy’s bowtie brigade will have a say in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup championship, too. Elliott led teammate Alex Bowman and Chevrolet rookie Ryan Preece across the finish line under caution Sunday in the GEICO 500, earning Chevrolet its first victory in the 10-race-old 2019 season and Hendrick’s first one-two finish since the 2016 season. In a year so far dominated by five-win Toyota and fourwin Ford efforts, Elliott’s work was crucial personally, team-wise and manufacturer-wise. And judging by the Talladega crowd reaction, there is no question this was a win well-appreciated for Elliott, a Georgia native. “I honestly can’t describe it to you,” a grinning Elliott said. “After the race was over, just kind of the way it ended, I was in la la land down there when I was looking for the checkered flag. Every time I stood up, the crowd stood up. Every time I got fired up, they got fired up. That’s something you can’t ever take for granted. “Like I said, people might not always like you. It’s days like today, those moments, that you’ll cherish and never forget. Certainly I won’t. These races are too hard to win to not enjoy those moments.” Elliott paced a bowtie brigade that included not just the make’s first 1-2-3 sweep of the year but a resounding superspeedway statement with six of the top eight finishers – also including rookie Daniel Hemric (fifth), Kurt Busch (sixth) and Brendan Gaughan (eighth). Chevy drivers also swept all three of the race stage wins with Ty Dillon winning the first and Elliott winning both the second stage and then the race. In all, Chevy drivers led 74 of 188 laps, including Elliott’s race-best 45 laps, in halting a seven-race winning streak at Talladega by rival Ford. It’s only the second time this season a Chevy driver has led the most laps in a race – the last time it happened, Kyle Larson led a race-best 142 laps but finished 12th at Atlanta. Each of the manufacturers went into Sunday’s event stressing the need for their respective teams and drivers to work together unselfishly – big picture in focus. And certainly Elliott’s victory was a trophywinning byproduct of the teamwork emphasis. “I felt like it was a team win, for sure,” Elliott said. “The large majority of the day we were working together as a bowtie group, as Team Chevy. I felt like we executed that well. “I think we could make it better, too. Just because it worked out, I don’t think we need to be content in the results. I think we need to realize we can do a better job.

JASEN VINLOVE/USA TODAY

NASCAR Cup Series driver Chase Elliott (9) celebrates winning the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.

“There’s certainly power in numbers at these races. When you have guys being selfless, wanting to push and make the lane go, it makes a difference. Certainly worked out for us today. I know it didn’t work out for some. It felt like it all kind of happens for a reason. Yes, there was a lot of effort that went in. I felt like it was executed pretty well.” Both for Elliott, personally, and his championship Hendrick team, Sunday’s results spoke not just about an important superspeedway showing but also about potential. Elliott earned the first three wins of his young career last season, and following those up Sunday was a confidence boost only a trophy can fully give. Elliott is the only current member of the four-driver Hendrick team with a victory in the past two years. It’s been two years since seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson earned his last win – at this week’s upcoming venue in Dover, Del. Bowman and secondyear Cup driver William Byron are still looking for their first Cup win.

Dover is also a place where Elliott scored one of his three wins last season – giving the Hendrick team plenty of confidence heading forward into the weekend. “Those were certainly great wins last year,” Elliott said. “I felt like any time you can win and win often is a big deal. I felt like we won pretty often in that span of a couple months last year, which was great. “I still don’t think we’re winning often enough. I feel like we need to be contending more. I see some of our competitors being in contention more than we have been throughout the season. I think we can certainly do a better job. “To have a win this early in the year I think is nice. And just because we won at Dover and Kansas last year doesn’t mean we’re going to go run good there, too. You know that. “It’s going to be hit or miss. We’re going to go there, see what we have. We didn’t run good at Richmond, which was unfortunate. Had a good day (Sunday), need to ride that as best we can next week.”

Judge is everywhere for the Yankees, except on the field James Wagner The New York Times News Service

SAN FRANCISCO — Before Saturday’s game against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park here, all the New York Yankees hitters jammed into a cramped backroom in the visitors’ clubhouse to go over the game plan against the opposing pitching staff. Nestled in the back was Aaron Judge. Judge has not swung a bat in more than a week and won’t for several more, at least, because of a strain of his left oblique muscle. But during his time on the Yankees’ bloated injured list, he has remained a noticeable part of the club’s efforts as a team leader and unofficial hitting adviser in a way that many other sidelined players have not. “In hitters’ meetings, he’s always one of the guys that’s asked about pitchers because he’s faced a lot of the guys before,” said rookie first baseman Mike Ford, one of the many players who wouldn’t be with the Yankees if not for the myriad injuries, including Judge’s. “He still chimes in. If he sees something on the bench, he’ll come up to you to let you know.” Players on the IL, especially those with significant injuries, often feel like ghosts: there, but not really there. When George Steinbrenner was the owner of the Yankees, he was known for sending injured players to the team’s spring training facility in Tampa, Florida. If they couldn’t help the major league team win, he believed, they needed to be away focusing on their rehabilitation. That policy has evolved since Steinbrenner’s death in 2010. So after Judge got hurt on a swing during a game on April 20, he was given a choice: rest and recover in New York, Tampa or with the team during its nine-game road trip spanning Anaheim, California, San Francisco and Phoenix. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said those options are weighed on a caseby-case basis depending on where the player is in the rehabilitation process. With Judge still in the early restand-treatment period of his recovery, he elected to travel with the Yankees. It was an easy choice considering Judge, who turned 27 last week, is from Linden, California, a small town about 100 miles east of San Francisco. Sticking with the team allowed him to see his parents and revisit a stadium he would go to as a young fan. But there was another motivation, a

responsibility that Judge does not take lightly. “In a lot of ways, he’s the face of our team, the heartbeat of our team,” Boone said. “Guys, young and old, look to him. So one of the things I’ve encouraged with him and we have is, ‘Just because you’re down, you can still have an impact.’ And he has been.” Because Judge is not only a star player but a well-respected teammate, Boone and the Yankees’ coaching staff have urged him to stay as involved as possible. “He’s such a natural leader of men that it comes really easy for him,” said P.J. Pilittere, the Yankees’ assistant hitting coach. Judge, of course, would rather not be in this situation at all. He missed nearly two months with a fractured right wrist last season after getting hit by a pitch, and he made it a goal to avoid the IL this year. But while he couldn’t meet one target, he vowed to keep up another. “I just want to be with my teammates during good times and bad times,” he said. “When they’re going good, when they’re going bad, when guys are beat up, I want to be a force in that lineup every single day. Now that I’m out, I want to try to find a way to impact guys.” On this road trip, Judge has been a constant presence in the dugout

during games, sitting and chatting with teammates and coaches. He has been part cheerleader, part team leader and part counselor. During a game last week in Anaheim against the Angels, Judge noticed that his close friend Tyler Wade wasn’t using his upper body in his swing as he had worked on during spring training, and Judge reminded him to do so. “If I see things happening in the dugout or see something in their atbats or see something they’re doing, either be a positive voice for them or say, ‘Come on, pick it up, let’s go, man,’ or ‘Get them the next at-bat,’” Judge said. “Just anything I can do.” Luke Voit, the Yankees’ first baseman who leads the depleted team with eight home runs and 25 runs batted in, has picked Judge’s brain about hitting in various situations because both sluggers have been attacked in similar ways by opposing pitchers. “It’s kind of nice to have that guy you can kind of lean on to ask those questions about, because video can only do so much,” Voit said. Judge isn’t the only Yankee on the IL to travel with the team. Outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, out since April 1 with a left biceps strain, was with the team in Anaheim last week before receiving a cortisone shot in his left shoulder. He remained in Southern California, where he grew up, while

the Yankees were in San Francisco and was expected to meet them in Arizona for the series against the Diamondbacks. Outfielder Clint Frazier sprained his left ankle during a game in Anaheim last week, remained with the team and was set to test out his progress with on-field exercises in Arizona. But neither are as prominent as Judge. Many of the other injured Yankees are in Tampa. Outfielder Aaron Hicks, who hurt his back in early March during spring training, has mostly remained there. Infielders Troy Tulowitzki and Miguel Andujar, who could come off the IL by the end of the week, joined Hicks there last week to play in rehabilitation games. At some point during his recovery, Judge will leave for minor league rehab games as well. For now, though, he wanted to be around his teammates. When Judge returned from his wrist injury in September, teammates noted an uptick in morale. Adding his powerful bat — and thus wins — probably helped most with that. But in the same way veteran leaders like pitcher C.C. Sabathia and outfielder Brett Gardner help guide the clubhouse dynamics, teammates said the younger Judge did, too. “We miss what he does on the field in all aspects, on both sides of the ball,” Gardner said. “Even though that’s kind of taken away from him right now, he’s still able to contribute in other ways. It’s definitely something his teammates notice and appreciate.” Asked about his role as a team morale booster, Judge played down his effect. Despite a battered roster with several players who came into the year slated for Class AAA Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre or in other organizations, the Yankees will enter their series with the Diamondbacks at 17-11. “This team has already got a chip on their shoulder,” Judge said. “Everyone wants to call them the Hodgepodge Yankees, Scranton Yankees and all that stuff.” “A lot of guys that are in this clubhouse now that are getting tons of playing time should be regular major league players,” he added. “But being on a such a great team, they have usually been in AAA or somewhere else, and now they’re getting a chance to show what they can do. It’s an exciting time. I’m just along for this ride.”

Chatham second baseman Allyssa Rippel makes a play during Monday’s Patroon Conference softball game against Maple Hill.

We’re well into the second stage of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, though it might take a while to get over what happened in the opening round. In unprecedented fashion, three of the top four regular-season finishers were bounced — including the Presidents’ Trophy winning Tampa Bay Lightning getting swept — while only the No. 3 overall Boston Bruins survived, though they needed the full seven games to defeat Toronto. Meanwhile, four of the bottom five playoff entrants advanced and only a monumental collapse by the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 7 against San Jose kept those lowest-point-total teams from going 5 for 5 in their opening series. Speaking of the Knights, their third-period meltdown and overtime defeat in a series they’d led 3-1 means assistant general manager Kelly McCrimmon can hit the market as a GM candidate if permitted. Expect the NHL Seattle group and the Edmonton Oilers to go after him hard. Meanwhile, for the rest of the hockey universe, the epic Game 7 folderoo by Vegas — surrendering four power-play goals in four minutes midway through the third period to erase its 3-0 lead — continued an unbelievable first round, the most watched on NBC in seven years. Never mind that two conference winners, Tampa Bay and Calgary, failed to advance for the first time ever. The really astonishing part was those two squads — with 112 combined regular-season victories — managing just one victory in nine openinground games. All four wild-card teams advanced and every division winner got eliminated for the first time ever, including the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals blowing a 2-0 series advantage and 3-1 lead in Game 7 on home ice before losing to the Carolina Hurricanes in double-overtime. It was the fourth time in nine years a Cup winner was subsequently ousted in Round 1, underscoring the

parity that’s overtaken the league in the salary cap era. But is that parity a good thing? Players question having to endure a six-month regular season just to toss everything out the window come playoff time. A recent Associated Press/ Canadian Press survey of NHL Players Association representatives from all 31 teams found 48 percent favored changing the format. More than half favored seeding teams 1-through-8 in each conference as was the case from 1994-2013. Currently, each division’s top three teams are bracketed together with a wild card entry and no reseeding by round — forcing top teams to sometimes play each other early on. But that was done largely to ease travel schedules. Back when the league had 1-through-16 playoff seeding in 1981 and 1982, it wasn’t unusual to cross the continent for opening-round matches. If you think players are complaining now, imagine that scenario. Another suggestion is a mini “play-in” round for wild-card teams akin to Major League Baseball so top seeds enjoy additional rest. But frankly, when you look at the season-ending dogfight by the Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Montreal Canadiens for the final Nos. 7 and 8 playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, I’m not sure having the No. 10 team play No. 7 and No. 9 play No. 8 for two wild-card entries would have changed the openinground outcomes much this year. Former NHL player Dave Tippett certainly doesn’t think so. The NHL Seattle senior adviser had multiple playoff runs with the Hurricanes franchise back when it was the Hartford Whalers and said parity makes the regular season more meaningful. “You don’t have teams that are waddling to the finish line,” Tippett said. “You have so many teams that are fighting for playoff spots and those are the teams that did well. The teams that cruised into the playoffs didn’t do so well.”

Kentucky Derby 2019: Five storylines to watch Childs Walker The Baltimore Sun

With an unpredictable, entertaining prep season behind us, it’s time to get down to the tense business of determining the best 3-year-old thoroughbred in the country on the most sought-after stage in American racing. There’s nothing quite like the Kentucky Derby, with its collision of 20 costly, hopefilled odysseys, all sorted out over two frantic minutes before a bellowing crowd of 150,000-plus. For decades, the Derby arrived with a fresh set of questions about when, if ever, we’d see the next Triple Crown winner. But trainer Bob Baffert has completed the trick twice in his past four tries, with American Pharoah in 2015 and Justified last year. So we’re back to the 1970s, when a devilishly difficult five-week achievement suddenly became almost commonplace. Is there another modern superstar lurking this time around? As we wait to start finding out May 4, here are five storylines to watch for the 2019 Derby. Can Omaha Beach extend the unlikely dominance of Derby favorites? We tend to cast the Derby as an unpredictable exercise because of its swollen field and the presence of so many lightly tested competitors. But the truth is favorites have won the race each of the past six years. Trainers will tell you the main reason is the points-qualifying system, which has pushed quick-starting speed horses out of the field and led to more predictable race dynamics. Regardless, the mightiest will fall some year. Will Omaha Beach be the unlucky streak breaker? First of all, he’s not guaranteed to go off as the favorite, not with the Baffert-trained Roadster in the field, coming off victory in the Santa Anita Derby. But Omaha Beach is a worthy choice, coming off his own impressive win over a stacked field in the mudchoked Arkansas Derby. He seems capable of running well from any position, a quality that’s always played well in the 1 ¼-mile Derby. And it’s

noteworthy that jockey Mike Smith chose to ride him over Roadster. Though Omaha Beach might enter the gate as the No. 1 betting choice, he also carries some charming underdog qualities. His trainer, Richard Mandella, is widely loved within the sport but has never brought this caliber of horse to the Triple Crown series. His owner, Rick Porter, fell in love with the sport as a fan growing up around Delaware Park and experienced tragedy at the 2008 Derby when his filly, Eight Belles, broke down after finishing second. Can Bob Baffert prove he’s the king of Louisville for a record-tying sixth time? Derby week is simply more exciting when Baffert, the sport’s most identifiable star, arrives with a real contender. He has three this year, so the wry, white-haired Hall of Famer will spend a lot of time holding court outside his familiar Barn 33 at Churchill Downs. Baffert often talks about the unique tension of the Derby, a moment of truth for connections who’ve invested so many dollars and expectations in the top contenders. The trainer endured a 13-year drought, between War Emblem’s victory in 2002 and American Pharoah’s in 2015. But Baffert has since reminded us no one is better at preparing a talented 3-year-old for the rigors of the Triple Crown. The question this year is not whether he can win, but which horse gives him the best chance. Roadster is the hot choice after returning from throat surgery to best stablemate Game Winner in the Santa Anita Derby. But if he’s to continue his rapid rise, he’ll have to do it with a new jockey in Florent Geroux. Game Winner, meanwhile, has finished second in both of his 2019 starts. But the 2018 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner always runs hard, inspiring comparisons to Baffert’s 1997 Derby and Preakness champion, Silver Charm. Some expert observers still rate him the horse to beat if he can straighten out the wide trips that doomed him during prep season. The last of the troika is Improbable, who has struggled

with focus going into the gate and during his stretch drives. He nonetheless gave Omaha Beach a formidable challenge in the Arkansas Derby and has the talent to turn the tables if he gets the right trip under Irad Ortiz Jr. So Baffert will show up with quite a hand as he seeks to tie Ben Jones for the most trainer wins in Derby history. Who are the other top contenders? Here’s where it gets interesting because of the unpredictable results we saw in several important prep races. The Wood Memorial has not been a launching pad for Derby champions in recent years, but it’s hard to argue with the resume of Tacitus, who overcame early bumps to win New York’s top prep race as the favorite. That followed a Tampa Bay Derby victory in which the Bill Mott-trained colt put to rest questions raised by a four-month layoff and uneven winter workouts. He’s gone nowhere but up this year, and in another testament to his talent, Jose Ortiz chose to ride him over Improbable. The advanced metrics say Maximum Security is also a serious contender after he won the Florida Derby in his first start against top-notch competition. Skeptics say the Jason Servis-trained colt remains a bit of a mystery because he took the lead so easily in that race, without having to call on his impressive speed. But Justify showed last year that talent can trump inexperience in the modern world of the Derby, with so many lightly raced contenders packing the field. Along the same lines, By My Standards delivered a careerbest performance at the right time in the March 23 Louisiana Derby. The six-week wait for the Derby has not been kind to past winners of the Fair Grounds prep (Grindstone in 1996 was the last to capture both races). But By My Standards has raised eyebrows with his impressive morning workouts at Churchill Downs. He’ll be an option for bettors looking past the favorites. Others will gravitate to Vekoma, the Blue Grass Stakes winner with the funky stride. His unusual style has not

kept him from performing well in each of his four career races, and the deeper you dig into the numbers, the more he looks like a solid second-tier contender. Which long shots are worth your interest? Maryland racing fans have a contender to root for in Win Win Win, trained by Mike Trombetta and based at Fair Hill Training Center. The metrics say he’ll struggle to handle 1 ¼ miles, but he made a furious charge to overcome a poor start in the Blue Grass Stakes and earn enough points to qualify for the Derby field. Trombetta hasn’t taken a horse to the Derby since 2006, when he had the post-time favorite in Sweetnorthernsaint, who finished seventh. This has been an unusually quiet prep season for trainer Todd Pletcher, who usually leads the pack in Derby entries. He’ll have Cutting Humor and Spinoff in the race, and neither will be top contenders. But the speed figures say Spinoff is a viable long shot, even though By My Standards caught him in the Louisiana Derby. The six-week layoff won’t bother Pletcher, who rarely opts to work his Derby contenders too hard. War of Will was considered a high-end Derby contender after winning graded stakes at Fair Grounds in both January and February. But he hurt himself with an awkward step and finished ninth in the Louisiana Derby. It’s reasonable to toss that race out and focus instead on his superb recent workouts. Questions abound, but for those seeking a talented horse at long odds, this Mark Casse-trained colt cannot be ignored. Is there a potential superstar in this class? Thoroughbred racing could certainly use an exciting on-track story after a season of anxiety prompted by the spate of 23 horse deaths at Santa Anita. We saw the limits of such thinking in 2015 and 2018, when American Pharoah and Justify generated tremendous excitement but, predictably, could not wipe away deeper concerns about failing tracks, inconsistent doping regulations and the loss of casual fans.

NBA notebook: Popovich intends to return for 2019-20 season Field Level Media

Gregg Popovich, the longest-tenured coach in the big four sports in the U.S., hinted Monday he’s in negotiations to return to the San Antonio Spurs for a 24th season. “I’ve never talked about my contract in all these years. I’ve never had an agent. I’ve never talked about the contract,” Popovich said seriously before ending the discussion of his contract with a joke. “My contract is basically my business, but I’ll break the rule this time. I’m currently in negotiations, and I could very well end up with the Portofino Flyers or the Positano Pirates. I think it’s one-third Positano, one-third Portofino and onethird San Antonio.” Popovich’s contract expired after Saturday’s 90-86 Game 7 loss to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. But in speaking with reporters Monday, the 70-year-old sounded like a coach very much looking ahead to next season. The Spurs have won five NBA titles during his tenure. –Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presti said that Billy Donovan will return for a fifth season as coach of the Thunder in 2019-20. “We anticipate Billy being back,” Presti said during a press conference. “I wouldn’t expect anything to change. There’s nobody that works harder than him.” The Thunder have compiled a 199-129 (.607) record in the regular season under Donovan, but are just 4-12 in the last three postseasons. A 4-1 series loss to the Portland Trail Blazers this year marked Oklahoma City’s third straight firstround exit since Kevin Durant left for the Golden State Warriors in free agency in 2016. –Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul was fined $35,000 for “aggressively confronting and recklessly making contact

with a game official” Sunday, according to Kiki VanDeWeghe, Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations, but he will not be suspended. Paul received his second technical foul and an automatic ejection when he argued with an official about a non-call with 4.4 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of the Rockets’ 104-100 loss to the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena. Paul’s outburst came after James Harden appeared to be fouled by Draymond Green while attempting a 3-pointer. After a scramble for the ball ended up in a ruling of Warriors’ possession, Paul argued and made contact with an official. –The NBA’s Last Two Minute report displays there were three incorrect noncalls in the final 71 seconds of Sunday’s game between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets. The Warriors won 104-100. The incorrect non-calls occurred with 1:10.6, 51.9 seconds and 5.2 seconds remaining. The first involved a turnover by Houston’s James Harden in which he stepped on the baseline. The report said that a foul should have been called on Golden State’s Stephen Curry. With 51.9 seconds left, Golden State’s Klay Thompson made a move toward the basket and took a jumper. The report said Thompson should have been called for traveling. After Harden missed the tying 3-point shot with 10.1 seconds left, there was a scramble for the loose ball. Houston’s Eric Gordon was ruled to have stepped out of bounds with 5.2 seconds left. The report said Curry should have been called for a foul. The report said a non-call was correct when Harden missed the potential tying shot because Golden State’s Draymond Green would not have made contact “if Harden hadn’t extended his legs.”

–Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has the stomach flu and is listed as probable for Monday night’s Game 2 in Toronto. The All-Star did not participate in the morning shootaround but is expected to be in the lineup against the Raptors, who have a 1-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series. Embiid missed 13 of his 18 shots and scored 16 points in Saturday’s 108-95 loss in Game 1. –Portland Trail Blazers center Enes Kanter is listed as questionable for Monday night’s series opener in Denver due to his shoulder injury. Kanter, 26, suffered a separated left shoulder in Game 5 of the first-round series against Oklahoma City last Tuesday. He told reporters Monday that he hoped to be on the floor for Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Nuggets. Kanter started all five games against the Thunder and averaged 13.2 points and 10.2 rebounds. –Three-time NBA champion Bruce Bowen has been named basketball coach at Cornerstone Christian High School in San Antonio. In an interview with television station KSAT, Bowen said he was excited about the opportunity and happy to have a chance to “teach them the fundamentals of the game.” Bowen, a 6-foot-7 forward, was a member of the San Antonio Spurs’ championship teams in 2003, 2005 and 2007. An undrafted free agent from Cal State Fullerton, he entered the NBA in 1996 with Miami, and he also played for Boston and Philadelphia before landing in San Antonio, where he spent the final eight seasons of his career. He was an All-NBA defensive team member eight teams and is just one of nine Spurs players whose number has been retired.

Baffert’s Kentucky Derby dominance faces a serious test John Cherwa Los Angeles Times

There’s a reasonable chance that a Hall of Fame trainer will win Saturday’s Kentucky Derby as eight of the 20 horses have one of the sport’s legendary trainers. Conventional wisdom would say that those who reach that historical pedestal already would have won the most prestigious race the sport has to offer. But three of those five trainers — Steve Asmussen, Richard Mandella and Bill Mott — have never won the Kentucky Derby. Collectively, they have lost the race 33 times. Still, this could be the year for one of them to upset Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, the fivetime winner, who has three horses in the race. Mandella, with an entrant for the first time in 15 years, has the likely favorite, Omaha Beach, winner of the Arkansas Derby and a division of the Rebel Stakes. And there is Mott, who has both Tacitus and Country House. Tacitus won the Wood Memorial and Tampa Bay Derby, and Country House, who hasn’t won a stakes, was third in Arkansas Derby. Asmussen, who is winless in 19 tries, has Long Range Toddy, who won a division of the Rebel Stakes and will have Jon Court as the jockey. At 58, Court will be the oldest rider to ever compete in the Kentucky Derby. If those aren’t enough storylines to make this year’s Derby interesting, here are five more to think about. Will there be another Triple Crown winner this year? It’s possible but not likely. Of course, that’s the response you would have every year. Omaha Beach will be the likely Kentucky Derby favorite, but he doesn’t have near the hype that Justify had last year. Still, he’s a pretty good horse, and he hasn’t topped out yet, so there is an unseen upside. “I felt more confident with American Pharoah than Justify and more confident with Justify than Omaha Beach for a couple of reasons,” said Jon White, a racing historian who also makes the morning line at Santa Anita. “One is that Bob Baffert,” trainer of American Pharoah and Justify, “has never lost a Preakness with a Kentucky Derby winner. White added that he thought Omaha Beach trainer Mandella “is one of the greatest trainers of all time. But, he’s going down a road he’s never gone down before.” It’s also expected there will be more fresh horses than normal at the Preakness. But

first Omaha Beach, or whoever, has to win the Derby. Which is the best Bob Baffert horse? Baffert has Game Winner, Improbable and Roadster in the Derby. Improbable is probably the weakest of the three, even though he’s been getting used to the dirt at Churchill Downs since he was shipped there after he was unable to run down Omaha Beach in the Arkansas Derby. He was also caught at the wire by Long Range Toddy in the Rebel. Roadster beat Game Winner in the Santa Anita Derby by half a length, but Game Winner was four wide in the turns, and Roadster needed the points to qualify for the Derby. Game Winner did not. So one could surmise that Roadster was fully cranked for the Santa Anita and Game Winner was not. So, with all that said, maybe Game Winner? Who’s going to be the ‘wise guy’ horse this year? The wise guy horse is a term used for the colt who’s below the radar whom professionals in Las Vegas are keying in on. Last year, it was Keith Desormeaux’s My Boy Jack. He finished fifth. Although the horse can change by race time, this year’s early wise guy horse is By My Standards, trained by Bret Calhoun and ridden by Gabriel Saez. By My Standards won his last two races, a maiden race by 4 ½ lengths at New Orleans’ Fair Grounds and then followed it up at 23-1 in the Louisiana Derby by threequarters of a length, beating Spinoff, who is in the Kentucky Derby. The colt is likely to have morning-line odds of at least 20-1. Can a filly win this year’s Kentucky Derby? Absolutely not because no filly entered the race. But if there’s one that could compete, it would be Santa Anita-based Bellafina. She is likely to be favored in Friday’s Kentucky Oaks for 3-year-old fillies. After a second in her first race, she won three in a row, including two Grade 1s. She went off in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies as the favorite but ran a disappointing fourth. It was discovered she was, according to trainer Simon Callaghan, “in season,” and it compromised her race. It’s very unusual for race horses to be ovulating so late in the year.

Wife with girlfriend wants to end her marriage I’m married to a man 21 years my senior. “Joe” and I have been married six years. I have recently realized I’m gay and have fallen in love with another woman. Over the course of our marriage, he has become “crotchety” and burned all his bridges. DEAR ABBY Because of this, I have lost friends, business opportunities and my reputation. He got fired from his job three years ago and has never actively tried to find another one. I have carried the family on my own financially. I have more life to live being who I really AM, but I feel guilty leaving him high and dry. I no longer love him; I love my girlfriend. I want to be out and proud and live what I realize now is my real truth. How can I tell him I want out? Trapped In California

Before telling your husband anything, discuss this with a divorce lawyer. Leaving him may be complicated because you have been his sole support for a while. Once you know what your financial responsibilities may — or may not — be, you will be in a better position to give your husband the bad news. My boyfriend, “Mason,” and I have been dating for eight months, and it has been going well. However, there is one thing standing in our way — his mom and sisters. Mason is the only boy. His parents divorced when he was young. His mom never remarried, but his father did. His two sisters (one older, one younger) don’t have boyfriends. The three

of them constantly make comments whenever Mason and I go out and do things — that he’s spending too much money or isn’t at home enough. They critique everything Mason does, from what he wears to how much money he earned in his last paycheck. It’s like they’re obsessed with him. They plan vacations while I’m around and don’t invite me. I haven’t been invited over for any holidays or family functions. I love Mason and want a future with him, but I can’t continue dealing with the nonsense from his jealous mom and sisters. It’s causing a huge strain. Mason knows how upset I am. He says he has talked to them, but their behavior hasn’t changed. If he won’t take matters into his own hands, should I? Competing In New Jersey No! Until Mason is mature enough to put his foot down, his mother and sisters will continue to decide for him who he dates, how much time he spends with her and whether he is earning “enough” money to be seeing anyone. You cannot and should not compete with his family because it isn’t healthy for you or your relationship. Remember, Mason will likely always be a package deal, and if you can’t accept it, you should end things.

S-adenosyl methionine is a naturally occurring substance commonly used as a supplement in the U.S. for arthritis and depression. The evidence on SAM-e is mixed, but there are small studies that show SAM-e to be effective for depression, about as effective as some prescription drugs, but with fewer side effects. However, larger studies were not as hopeful, and my opinion is that while it is a lot better than nothing, SAM-e is not as effective as the better-studied prescription drugs for depression. This may not be applicable to mood swings. Since it does seem to be working for you, I can reassure you on one point: There is no reliable evidence that SAM-e increases risk of cancers or thyroid disease. The major side effects, which are rare, are upset stomach and dizziness.

My husband is 72 and suffers from heart disease, kidney disease and diabetes. Almost daily, he chokes, with extreme coughing and loss of breath, when eating or drinking. Is there a relationship between this constant choking and heart disease? Heart surgery is not possible because of his kidney disease. Is there anything we can do to keep him from choking? In a 72-year-old person with medical issues, the most common problem that is described as choking while eating or drinking is a swallowing issue, the medical term for which is dysphagia, from the Greek roots meaning “bad eating.” This is separate from painful swallowing. The underlying defects are generally broken down into two categories: problems in the mouth to pharynx and problems in the esophagus. When I hear “choking,” I tend to think more of problems in the mouth and pharynx. There are many concerns for frequent choking, gagging and coughing, but the one that is most concerning to me is aspiration, when food or liquids go into the trachea and lungs instead of into the esophagus and stomach. This can lead to infection and damage to the lungs. Because of this, it’s very important to get him evaluated. I don’t have enough room to discuss all the possible reasons for your husband’s symptoms. Treatment will depend on the findings of the workup, but it often includes swallowing rehabilitation and changes in food consistency.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are one of those rare individuals who can do great things without seeming to be great yourself at all — and that’s just the way you like it. You don’t want to be the sort of person who attracts all kinds of attention, and fame is something that does not interest you at all. Still, you may not be able to avoid it, for once people know what you’ve done and what you’re capable of, they’re sure to pay attention — and even seek you out to do more and more and more. You will always cherish your privacy, and you must do all you can to ensure that you have somewhere to go to escape the hustle and bustle of a life in the spotlight. Once you find your professional niche, it’s off to the races you go! You’re not likely to look back very often on the road to success, because you will always be immersed in the nuts and bolts of what you are doing at the moment. You are never enthralled by your own performance. You look at yourself realistically, as do most Taurus natives. Also born on this date are: Tim McGraw, singer; Judy Collins, singer; Ray Parker Jr., singer; Glenn Ford, actor; Joanna Lumley, actress; Kate Smith, singer; Rita Coolidge, singer; Dann Florek, actor; Jack Paar, TV host. 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, MAY 2

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Watching someone you love do something you admire gives you great pleasure today. Get up close and personal; you can learn how to do it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You must take care that you don’t collide with someone who is work-

ing against you at this time. Keep your eyes open, and be ready to maneuver. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may be able to hang back in the shadows and observe someone doing something you’ve long wanted to do. Your turn will come very soon. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You may stumble upon a bargain today, but can you really take advantage of it? You may have to decline for now and hope for a second chance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You are eager to demonstrate your prowess at home, but something at work keeps you distracted and unable to do so — for now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You can do much in support of those who are in a less advantageous position than you are. What happens late in the day may change things. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You must be ready for anything today, and someone you know well is doing things in such a way that you cannot anticipate what’s coming. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You know how to express yourself quite well, and today provides you with a golden opportunity. What you say may be long remembered. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You have a way of doing things that will attract attention when you least expect it — but now that you know, you can prepare yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You are likely to receive information through channels that cannot be fully trusted. Put what you hear to the test to determine the truth. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — What you discover today is likely to prove your assertion that facts and the truth, while closely related, are certainly not the same thing. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — There seems to be something rather magical about your approach and the results you get today. Someone is eager to meet you.
