CATSKILL — Wheelabrator Technologies, a municipal waste combustion company, released a statement Wednesday that it is no longer interested in leasing property in Catskill. But the company left a tiny bit of room for doubt. “While we stand by the conclusions of our technical evaluation to date that the site was capable of meeting and exceeding state environmental requirements, we no longer wish to engage in this project at this time,” Wheelabrator President and CEO Robert Boucher wrote

to Catskill Town Supervisor Doreen Davis. “We appreciate your consideration and the efforts of the Greene County Industrial Development Agency in working with our team and we wish the Catskill community and its citizens all the best.” The final step in the withdrawal will come when Wheelabrator retracts its application to the state Department of Environmental Conservation, former EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck said. “The ‘at this time’ phrase is a worry,” Enck said. “The key thing to look for is, does Wheelabrator withdraw their Catskill permit to DEC Region 4.”

Wheelabrator representatives used similar wording when meeting with Catskill Village Trustee Joseph Kozloski last week. “Their parent company has purchased another company with three dumpsites,” Kozloski said. “They don’t need to go forward with it for now.” The other dumpsites are expected to last about 30 years, Kozloski said. Wheelabrator submitted its application to DEC in early 2017 to establish an ash landfill on 158 acres on Route 9W, owned by Peckham Materials Inc. Wheelabrator proposed to lease the land from Peckham and

The preliminary April unemployment report is out for New York state and Columbia County is tied for the lowest jobless rate in the state. The report was released Thursday by the state Department of Labor. Columbia County’s unemployment rate for the month was 2.9%, tying it with Nassau County. The 2.9% rate in April of this year is a decrease from the same time period last year, when the rate was 3.5%, and has steadily declined from the beginning of this year when the rate was 3.6% in January and March, and 3.7% in February. Reported rates are not seasonally adjusted. “A low unemployment rate means that almost everyone that is seeking work is employed,” said F. Michael Tucker, president of the Columbia Economic Development Corporation. “Columbia County regularly registering the lowest unemployment rate in the state over the last year is a strong signal to job seekers and employers that ample opportunities are available here. While we celebrate the success of having an economy at full employment, we will also continue to work to attract jobs with higher wages and expand workforce development and education initiatives to increase the size and skill of our workforce.” While the employment figures are good for the county, low unemployment rates can be a double-edged sword. “People who are seeking

CATSKILL — Another in a series of water main breaks in five months illustrates the weaknesses in the village’s water delivery system and makes it imperative to replace aging lines, village officials said Thursday. A major break early Thursday morning, one of the worst this year, left most residents in the Jefferson Heights area without service and canceled all Catskill school activities for the day. The break occurred at about 6 a.m. off the New York State Thruway near the Sunoco station, Village Department of Public Works Superintendent Michael McGrath said. Crews worked on the repair for eight and half hours, finishing up at about 2:30 p.m. “We’re not 100% sure what caused it,” McGrath said. “We have been flushing the hydrants the past four nights. There may

is continuing to work on improving employment rates. “Our numbers are positive, but we are working to improve it every day,” Linger said.

employment can find it in Columbia County, but employers complain that they can’t find people to fill the positions they need filled,” said Jeffrey Hunt, president and CEO of the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce. “We wish we had more people to fill positions — there are not enough people to hire, especially in the construction field and in the trades.” Unemployment rates were lower in April 2019 compared to the same time period last year in each of the state’s 62 counties, according to the report. The rate in Greene County was 4.1% in April 2019, the 38th lowest rate in the state, tying it with Broome, Clinton and Schoharie counties. The April unemployment rate in Greene County is a decline from 4.9% in April of last year, and represents a decrease from the beginning of this year as well — the rate was 4.7% in January and February 2019 and 4.5% in March. Greene County Legislature Chairman Pat Linger said the county is working with the newly formed Greene County Economic Development Corporation to stimulate the growth of business and generate new jobs for local residents. “Our economic development team for the county is working on new projects every day trying to bring businesses and jobs into the county,” Linger said. “The Greene County Economic Development Corporation, which was set up earlier this

It’s tough to say.” The 16-inch water main requires a six-foot section to be cut out and replaced, McGrath said. “From the Xtra Mart to the village, no one has water,” McGrath said. “Leeds and South Cairo have water.” The Catskill Central School District canceled classes Thursday due to the break. Students who had come to school early were sent home. “Due to the water main break in the village, school is canceled for May 23,” according to a statement from the district. “As a result, the CES Spring Concert is rescheduled to June 5 at 6:30 p.m, in the High School Auditorium. All athletic events are canceled as a result of the anticipated thunderstorm. Today’s Sectional Varsity Baseball game is rescheduled to tomorrow with a 4 p.m. start time.” Traffic was reduced to one

lane near the break and state police are assisting, McGrath said. “They have been phenomenal for us,” McGrath said. “The traffic is horrendous and people are not slowing down.” Village President Vincent Seeley said a boil-water advisory will be posted following the repair for a minimum of two days. “We’re working on it as fast as possible,” Seeley said. Due to aging infrastructure and fluctuating temperatures, the village experienced a series of breaks in January and February. On Jan. 22-23, the region experienced subzero temperatures and life-threatening wind chills. On Feb. 4-5, temperatures in the Twin Counties rose into the mid-40s and low 50s. The village is looking to begin replacing sections of its 120-year-old water system in the 2019 capital plan, Seeley said.

WASHINGTON - Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., blasted President Donald Trump on Thursday as “an erratic, helter-skelter, get-nothing-done president” as a war of words spilled into a second day over an aborted meeting on the nation’s infrastructure. During a morning television appearance, Schumer said “the show” put on by Trump on Wednesday was intended as a “coverup” of his administration’s inability to work with Congress on legislative priorities such as infrastructure. “If he were smart, he’d sit down with us,” Schumer said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “We want to do this, and he’s incapable of it.” His comments come as both Democrats and the Republican president seek to cast blame ahead of what could be a thin record of legislative accomplishments in the remaining year and a half before the November 2020 elections. Prospects for cooperation on major issues appeared at a low point after Trump angrily walked out of a White House meeting Wednesday with Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other Democrats and insisted he would not work with their party unless they abandon their inquiries into his businesses, presidency and personal finances. In a spate of tweets after the blowup and again on Thursday morning, Trump sought to portray Democrats as the obstacle to cooperation on infrastructure, prescription drug costs and other issues. In one tweet, he branded Democrats “THE DO NOTHING PARTY!” “The Democrats are getting nothing done in Congress. All of their effort is about a Re-Do of the Mueller Report, which didn’t turn out the way they wanted,” Trump wrote. He was referring to the report by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. House Democrats are continuing to probe whether Trump sought to obstruct the investigation and have been frustrated by stonewalling from the White House in response to subpoenas related to that and other probes of the administration. “All they are geared up to do, six committees, is squander time, day after day, trying to find anything which will be bad for me,” Trump tweeted Thursday. “A pure fishing expedition like this never happened before, & it should never happen again!” House Democrats have passed several high-profile pieces of legislation, including on health care, ethics reform and consumer protections, but the bills have not been taken up by the Republican-led Senate. During an appearance in the Rose Garden on Wednesday

President Trump speaks in the Rose Garden after a meeting with Democratic leaders on infrastructure, saying there won’t be a deal unless they stop investigations. The sign on the lectern says, “NO Collusion, NO Obstruction.”

following his aborted meeting with Democrats, Trump railed about Pelosi’s allegation earlier that morning that he is ordering officials to duck congressional subpoenas as part of a “coverup” of his own misbehavior. In late-night tweets on Wednesday, Trump also took aim at Pelosi for characterizing his behavior as a “temper tantrum” in a letter to House Democrats earlier in the day. “In a letter to her House colleagues, Nancy Pelosi said: ‘President Trump had a temper tantrum for us all to see.’ This is not true,” Trump wrote. “I was purposely very polite and calm, much as I was minutes later with the press in the Rose Garden. Can be easily proven. It is all such a lie!” In his MSNBC interview, Schumer argued that the president’s inability to work with Democrats in Congress would “inure to Donald Trump’s detriment” as next year’s elections approach. “Ultimately what Donald Trump campaigned on and how he won the election [in 2016] . . . is changing your lives, getting things done that make things better for you,” Schumer said. “And people now see, more and more people, that he’s not getting anything done. And he doesn’t realize what a liability that is. The presidency is not just a reality show, and if you don’t get things done for the American people, they’re doing to want change again.” Asked at another point in the interview if he considers Trump a competent president, Schumer said no. In a separate MSNBC interview, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., also suggested that Trump was a difficult person with whom to negotiate. “Very frankly the sad thing is that there are too many instances where I’ve sat with the president in the White House .

. . where he says one thing and that representation lasts for minutes, for hours, maybe a few days at most, and then the position changes,” he said. Hoyer was also critical of Trump’s decision to abruptly end the meeting on infrastructure. “What we saw yesterday was a refusal to lead,” Hoyer said. “He abandoned any leadership, any desire to move forward, any constructive engagement with the Congress of the United States.” In explaining Trump’s decision, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders pointed to a meeting convened by Pelosi earlier that morning in which House Democrats talked about the possibility of launching an impeachment inquiry against Trump. Pelosi accused Trump of a “coverup” as she left that meeting. “That fact that they would have a meeting an hour before they are set to arrive at the White House where Nancy Pelosi literally accuses the president of a crime and then wants to walk into his office and sit down with him as if nothing happened. . . . That’s lunacy. That’s not even in the realm of possibility,” Sanders said during an appearance on CNN.

OUR VIEW

Regional jail option is real but fading Until this week, it’s fairly safe to say few people in this area ever heard of Assemblyman Joseph Lentol. Lentol, a Brooklyn Democrat from the 50th Assembly District who chairs the Codes Committee, could soon be a household name. In an interview Wednesday, Lentol sent shock waves through the establishment by saying we could have a regional jail to serve two counties, and that includes Greene. Hey, he added, it’s no big deal. “I think it’s something that’s necessary,” he said. “We don’t need to be building jails necessarily in every county.” The state’s criminal justice reforms make the timing for regional jail legislation ideal, he added.

“We’re entering a new era where we want to reduce prison size and stop the prison brigade in our state,” Lentol said. “I hope this will start a trend to downsize our criminal population.” Greene County residents will not have to shoulder the tax burden of a new jail, Lentol said. “It’s a win all the way around,” he said. The Codes Committee meets weekly and a bill could be introduced this week or next week. For Greene County taxpayers, however, Lentol’s words are more encouraging than his timing. The estimated $66 million jail project is about a week away from receiving its final permits. Construc-

tion will begin if the county Legislature fails to receive a clear answer from the state about an existing law on shared jails. The spectre of breachof-contract lawsuits filed by contractors hovers if the county Legislature can turn this jail project around, but if no contracts have been signed and no money paid, there are no breaches. Simply, time is ticking down to zero to reverse the course. It may not be the Taj Mahal, but Greene County is on the verge of building a jail that will cost taxpayers tens of millions for a relative handful of inmates. The Legislature is on pace to be haunted for years by a brief, nagging question: What if?

ANOTHER VIEW

Report on Northam blackface scandal is a big fat shrug The Washington Post

After his initial, unequivocal statement of admission and contrition, Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has strained credulity with his subsequent, turn-ona-dime insistence that he was neither of two figures depicted in the racist photograph that appeared on his medical-school yearbook page in 1984. Since that head-spinning reversal over the course of less than 24 hours at the beginning of February, very little has emerged to shed light on that photograph, of one person in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan hood and robe, or on the mystery of its genesis and how it landed on Northam’s page if he did not put it there. Now, with the publication of what was meant to be the definitive report on the incident, the conclusion, or rather nonconclusion, is a big fat shrug. After four months of investigations by a prominent lawyer at Richmond’s most notable law firm, the verdict in the matter of Northam’s youthful yearbook is in. It is no verdict at all. The 55-page report, conducted by the firm McGuireWoods and over-

seen by former U.S. attorney and Virginia attorney general Richard Cullen, a partner at the firm, at the request of Northam’s alma mater, Eastern Virginia Medical School, is the product of dozens of interviews (and many spotty memories). In the end, the investigators were unable to determine the genesis of the photo or identify its subjects. And the report takes at face value Northam’s own, contradictory statements, amplified by two interviews the governor granted the report’s authors. (The initial statement, the governor and his aides insist, was a colossal misjudgment made in haste amid crisis, chaos and pressure.) That’s the hard part. For even as he was denying (after admitting) being in the photograph or placing it in his yearbook, Northam also acknowledged that he attended a dance competition around the same time, in Texas, wearing blackface while dressed as Michael Jackson. In his defense, the governor now says that was an act of racial and historical cluelessness. OK, but if he was so clueless in Texas, then why credit his denials re-

garding an act of similar cluelessness (or worse) in Virginia? The governor told the McGuireWoods team that he is “positive” he wasn’t in the notorious photo and has no idea how it ended up on his yearbook page. Yet the investigators could find no evidence that the photo appeared there in error, or as a prank, “or by any other means not at his direction.” Couldn’t prove that he did it; couldn’t prove that he didn’t - that’s the report’s manifestly murky bottom line. Meanwhile, Northam, a Democrat who before the blackface scandal was regarded as progressive on race and civil rights, continues limping along as chief executive in Virginia, where governors cannot run for a consecutive second term. Politically and morally wounded, he has sought redemption by dedicating his governorship to racial reconciliation, even as he is publicly spurned and disinvited from events. The question of whether his public purgatory is just remains no clearer than the origin of the notorious photo.

or publications. Writers are ordinarily limited to one letter every 30 days.

The fight for gender equality is the great global cause of our time, affecting every man, woman, boy and girl. As a political appointee in the Trump administration, I spend my days supporting the president’s National Security Strategy, which calls on the United States to empower women as key drivers for global growth and stability. It is an honor to be able to fight for women around the world who have so much to contribute but are held back by the 155 countries that have laws restricting women’s employment, by the $300 billion credit gap, by female genital mutilation, by a lack of affordable health care, by physical or sexual violence - held back, systematically, by so many barriers in so many ways. Thankfully, here in the United States, generations of women have fought for equal rights, and consequently our challenges are more modest. While it took us 72 years to get the right to own property, 144 years to vote, 197 years to secure reproductive health rights, and 198 years to obtain equal rights to credit, today we are just as likely as men to attend college (and more likely to earn a master’s degree or doctorate), are treated equally under U.S. law, are as likely as men to have a bank account, and have full sexual and reproductive health rights. These gains were not easily won, nor are they sufficient. Women in the United States, just like women around the world, continue to be more affected by poverty. They continue to bear the burden of unpaid care work. They continue to face

that affects our very bodies. I have seen friends go through the difficulty of having to make the decision to abort a pregnancy, some because they were not prepared to be a parent and some because of the health of the baby. Other friends have experienced the heartbreaking death of an unborn child at times far later than most Americans believe abortions should be an option. I have gone through in vitro fertilization only to go through the horrible experience of suffering a miscarriage late in the pregnancy. I have also gone through the family services program to become a foster parent here in Washington. I can attest that the United States does not have a viable system to care for its children in need of loving parents. The issues here are complicated. What’s needed is not answers dictated by lawmakers but deep conversation, respect for differing opinions and strong voices. But for too long a critical perspective has been missing: Republican women who believe women should have full reproductive and sexual health rights have been silent. Now is the time for us to courageously find our voices and bring them to the table. The fight for global gender equality will require every man, woman, boy, girl - Republican and Democrat - to come together and ask leaders to be as brave as women and girls are around the world every single day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

What about the Life Members? To the editor: What about the Life Members that got the Fire Companies where they are today? I think it is great to exempt active volunteers from New York State Income Taxes. But what about the firemen and EMS Volunteers that worked so hard and put many many hours in to building the fire companies and

rescue squads what they are today? I have been a member of the Greenville Volunteer Fire Company since 1963, 56 years. I am not actively fighting fires anymore, but I have held many officer position over the years, including Fire Chief, Fire Commissioner and several Chairs in County Associations.

I think the Legislators should also consider including all us old timers, most of us have more than paid our dues. Most of us are not physically able to make 55 percent of all fire or recue calls anymore. ROBERT CARL, FORMER CHIEF GREENVILLE VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY GREENVILLE

Assisted suicide To the editor: I would like to express my concern with the proposed legislation on Assisted Suicide currently in Committee in Albany. The definition of “terminal illness” is sufficiently vague as to include most people who are dependent on drugs to live, for example a diabetic. There is no requirement for counseling upon request for death, surely this would be an obvious assistance offered to someone in distress. The patient need only a

SEND LETTERS:

diagnosis and two witnesses who are not required to know the patient. Upon receiving the killing drugs there is no oversight on how, when or where they are administered. The potential for abuse is obvious for example in the case of a family member who stands to inherit and may be one of the “witnesses.” In states where it is legal, they are considering extending the “opportunity” from those with terminal diagnoses of 6 months to include those with a 12 month

diagnosis. Must be popular. In two states, California and Oregon, some insurance companies are denying costly drugs but will gladly pay for Assisted Suicide. Also, doctors are REQUIRED TO LIE about the cause of suicide on the death certificate, stating the underlying illness as cause, instead of killing drugs. This will make it nearly impossible to monitor for abuse. Is this Compassion? NOELLE RYAN CORNWALLVILLE

discrimination and genderbased violence. According to the World Economic Forum, we will not see relative gender parity for another 107 years. For women to achieve equality in a more reasonable timeline, we must ensure that every system is protecting our rights and pushing for equality. Full sexual and reproductive health rights are a key factor in achieving women’s empowerment. We know that when women can choose whether to have children and how many children to have, their lives are improved. They are more likely to participate in the labor force and more likely to stay in school longer. They increase their earning potential. But, suddenly, the United States is in danger of moving in the opposite direction. Recent abortion legislation passed in Alabama and other states threatens to reverse generations of hardfought gains in this country. If allowed to stand, these restrictive laws will take away a woman’s basic right to determine what is best for herself, her family and her body. I am a Christian and a Republican who believes women in crisis should be met with compassion. I respect both sides of this complicated issue. But my own experiences and the overwhelming research data on the topic have convinced me that women must have full sexual and reproductive health rights to have full control over their lives. I know that I am not the only Republican woman who feels this way. The data is too compelling and life’s experiences too exacting for us not to have empathy and understanding on an issue

Tornado Safety Tips: Stay Informed, Have a Plan, Get to Cover Fast The New York Times The New York Times News Service

A band of strong storms sweeping across the Plains and Midwest spawned a wave of tornadoes, including one that did substantial damage in Missouri’s capital city and others that left at least three people dead. Here’s what you can do to stay safe when tornadoes are threatening your area, based on recommendations from the National Weather Service and other experts. When powerful thunderstorms are coming — Stay alert for watches and warnings. A “watch” means conditions are right for a tornado to form somewhere in a wide area; a “warning” means one has definitely been sighted nearby. Monitor local news broadcasts and online alerts; listen for sirens if they are used in your area. One good source to check regularly: The National Weather Service’s special tornado Twitter feed. — When a watch is posted, get ready. Have a plan and make sure everyone in the family knows what it is. Don’t forget to plan for pets. Secure outdoor objects that might become dangerous in a high wind, like lawn furniture and gas grills. Have any prescription medicines ready to take with you to shelter. — When a warning is posted, head for cover right away. You may have only a few minutes to reach safety. Where to shelter when a tornado strikes — If you are indoors: The cellar or basement, or if there is none, an interior room without windows on the lowest floor. Stay near the center of the room. Avoid large, open indoor spaces like school cafeterias and shopping malls. — If you are outdoors: The sturdiest building you can reach quickly. Avoid sheds, storage facilities and other lightly built structures. — If you are driving: Don’t try to ride out the storm in your vehicle if you can help it. Get into a building, or failing that, try to find shelter in a low-lying area like a ditch or ravine. If you have no other option, get down as low as you can in the car. — Wherever you are, cover up, especially your head. Television forecasters often recommend wearing a bicycle helmet if one is available. Get under a sturdy piece of furniture like a desk or workbench, or cover your

body with a sleeping bag or mattress. When the tornado passes — Stay informed. Keep monitoring local news, alerts, watches and warnings. There may be more storms coming, or other hazards from severe weather like hail, lightning and flooding. — Check in. Let family and friends know how you are faring. Text messages and social media posts may be most effective. — Tread carefully in assessing damage. Protect yourself with sturdy shoes, long pants and long sleeves. Be alert for hazards like downed power lines, broken glass, sharp or jagged metal debris and damaged propane tanks. Look up as well as down, for possible danger from damaged trees and utility poles.

GREENPORT — Four ColumbiaGreene Community College softball players recently received conference honors for their performances this past season.

Poulsen did not make an error all season in 33 total chances. She is one of just eight players in the region to hit that mark with 30 or more chances. She also faired well at the plate with a .346 batting average and 17 runs batted in. The other freshman standout,

NEW YORK — John Davidson stepped behind a lectern emblazoned with the New York Rangers logo on Wednesday and got straight to the point. “Dreams do come true,” he said at Madison Square Garden, appearing to become a bit misty-eyed after he was introduced as the Rangers’ new president about 40 years to the day after leading the team to the Stanley Cup Final as a goaltender. “It’s no secret that New York has always been a ... held a very special place in my heart,” he added, with his wife and one of their two daughters in the audience. Davidson, 66, is replacing the retiring Glen

Sather, who has been at the helm since June 2000. Hiring Davidson is a logical move for the youthful Rangers, who missed the playoffs for the second straight season as they work through a dramatic rebuild that began in February 2018. Only four players remain from their Cup finals run in 2014. The team has been accumulating young talent and has two firstround picks, including the second overall, and two second-round picks in next month’s draft. “I want to continue what’s been started here,” Davidson said. “That’s to build the Rangers to become perennial Stanley Cup contenders. They are doing it the right way.” See RANGERS B6

Church music director hides her drinking problem The music director at our church — I’ll call her Mildred — is an alcoholic. I realized it after I offered my home to her when she said she needed to escape from her alcoholic partner. Mildred is a nighttime drinker and imbibes until probably 2 a.m. She says she can’t get to DEAR ABBY sleep until the “middle of the night.” I was married to an alcoholic for many years, yet I had no idea Mildred had a problem until she lived with me for those few weeks. She left my home giving me the various reasons why I wasn’t nice enough to her and has returned to her alcoholic partner. Should I say anything to the administrator of the church? At this point, it’s my word against Mildred’s, and her problem will be discovered sooner or later. Your advice? Getting Involved In The East

JEANNE PHILLIPS

If Mildred’s drinking negatively affects her work, tell the administrator. If not, keep the bad tidings to yourself. However, in the future, if appropriate, be ready to share with Mildred information about support resources available to her such as AA, SMART Recovery, LifeRing and Women For Sobriety. My partner recently lost one of his lateral incisors. He got a prosthetic tooth to wear until

he gets an implant, which looks fine if he wears it. The problem is, it isn’t comfortable. He can’t eat with it, and he often prefers to leave it out. He also does this at home. We live in a major metropolitan city. Having missing teeth is just not acceptable. Aside from it being bad for his dental health, he looks like a jack-o’lantern when he smiles, which is extremely unattractive. I feel it’s socially and professionally detrimental. Every time I broach the subject of moving forward with the implant, he responds with fierce opposition, which inevitably ends in an argument. Any advice? That’s The “Tooth” In San Francisco

Classic Peanuts

It would be helpful to understand why your partner fiercely opposes moving forward with the implant. Is he afraid it will be painful? Is the problem that he doesn’t have the money? If it’s the former, he should talk to his dentist so his fears can be allayed. If it’s the latter, perhaps he can talk to the dentist about payment options, or you can help him pay for the implant.

Hydrogen peroxide is too harsh for at-home use in ears In a recent column, you said that using peroxide in the ear is a bad home remedy. Would you please expand on this subject? My children grew up with me using peroxide to clean excessive wax from their ears, and they now use the same remedy on my grandchildren. Most earwax does not need TO YOUR to be removed. It should be reGOOD HEALTH moved only when there are symptoms (such as poor hearing, ear pressure or pain, and sometimes itchiness or dizziness). This requires a look in the ear, since similar symptoms may come from infection. Hydrogen peroxide is too harsh to put on skin. Doctors may use it to irrigate the ear canal while looking into the ear, but it is diluted, usually 1:10. Over-the-counter earwax preparations, such as carbamide peroxide, may also be recommended once the diagnosis is clear.

DR. KEITH ROACH

My son is taking hemp-based CBD oil for depression. He purchased this at a health food store. His doctor prescribed pills that he was unable to tolerate due to suicidal thoughts. He is unable to go outside when taking CBD. We would like to know if it will show up in a drug test as part of a job interview. Should he be taking it? There are animal studies and some preliminary data suggesting that cannabidiol, a nonpsychoactive substance found in cannabis, might be effective for anxiety and depressive disorders. I hope that CBD will be proven to be a useful treatment for depression, as what we have now certainly isn’t perfect. However, there are not yet

high-quality studies supporting this use. The fact that your son can’t go out while taking the CBD suggests to me that it may not be effective. While the pills he had previously cannot be used, there are many treatments available for depression that have better safety and effectiveness data than CBD. Most forensic drug testing uses THC and its metabolites, so if what your son is taking is truly CBD, then it should not be identified during testing as THC. There is a chance that the “CBD oil” he purchased has THC in it: In one study, 57% of CBD oils sold were found to have measurable THC, which would show up on a drug test. Unfortunately, 25% of the oils contained no CBD at all. Dr. Roach Writes: I received a lot of mail from readers about a column in which a reader described realistic hallucinations upon awakening. I was concerned about Lewy body disease, a form of dementia with prominent visual hallucinations. The most common condition readers were concerned about was Charles Bonnet syndrome, a type of visual hallucination found in people with vision loss. It’s not well known, so I was surprised that so many people wrote to me about it. The answer, as diagnosed by my reader’s neurologist, turned out to be hypnopompic hallucinations. M.O., a sleep technician, and P.W. from California wrote to me with the same diagnosis. These can occur in sleep apnea, which several people wrote about, and several said treatment stopped these hallucinations. They can also be associated with neurological disease, such as Parkinson’s disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome and narcolepsy.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are a robust, energetic individual who likes nothing more than being on the move, searching out that next opportunity and putting yourself where the action is. You are good-natured but have a habit of responding to challenge by becoming overly defensive, even aggressively pugnacious. This, you will learn with experience, is hardly necessary. An honest talk and a willingness to engage on equal footing are far more beneficial to you than any kind of fight. You can be quite competitive, and you are sometimes quite a sore loser, which makes other people not want to compete with you too often. When you find yourself getting bogged down in things that you don’t fully understand or for which you have not fully prepared, you can get all worked up, and you will require the assistance of a trusted friend to set you straight and keep you from making the kinds of careless errors that can cost you. Also born on this date are: Bob Dylan, singer and songwriter; Patti LaBelle, singer; Queen Victoria of Great Britain; Tommy Chong, actor and comedian; John C. Reilly, actor; Priscilla Presley, actress; Rosanne Cash, singer; Gary Burghoff, actor; Heavy D, rapper; Jim Broadbent, actor; Alfred Molina, actor; Eric Close, actor; Kristin Scott Thomas, actress. 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, MAY 25 GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’re likely to be surprised by the decisions another makes today, as you are far more closely linked than you had originally thought. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — A figure from your past makes a surprise appearance today, but only

for a short time. It’s enough, however, to give you pause. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You may have to struggle some to get a thing done on time today. You may not receive the technical support you are after as you face difficulties. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You mustn’t let things get out of hand today, especially where domestic and professional issues intersect. Focus on who needs what. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may not have quite as much fun as you had hoped today, but what you get done will be remembered as something quite unusual and unexpected. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may have to take some time today to get the lay of the land, and don’t forget to see what makes your superiors tick. Get some answers. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You’re willing to give up something to gain something more today, but take care that you don’t let slip a key piece of secret information.

Davidson brings the pedigree of a hockey life that has included most every layer of NHL experience, from player to Hall of Fame broadcaster to team executive. He played two seasons with St. Louis before spending parts of eight seasons with the Rangers, his career cut short because of knee injuries. The magical 1979 playoff run, during which the underdog Rangers upset the Islanders in six games in the semifinals before losing in the Cup finals in five games to the Canadiens, cemented Davidson’s status in the team’s history.

Homeowners in Foreclosure New York State Law requires that we send you this notice about the foreclosure process. Please read it carefully. Summons and Complaint You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the summons and complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the summons and complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself. Sources of Information and Assistance The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid

office, there are government agencies and nonprofit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Department of Financial Services at (800) 342-3736 or visit the Department’s website at www.dfs.ny.gov. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME AT THIS TIME. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO STAY IN YOUR HOME DURING THE FORECLOSURE PROCESS. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME UN-

LESS AND UNTIL YOUR PROPERTY IS SOLD AT AUCTION PURSUANT TO A JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE AND SALE. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO REMAIN IN YOUR HOME, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY AND PAY PROPERTY TAXES IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE AND LOCAL LAW. Foreclosure Rescue Scams Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any

suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

12th in Region III in that category. She also ranks 14th in the region in doubles with 12 this season. That is twice that of any other member of the Twins team. Sophomore Baylee Cox was also named to the Mountain Valley Conference AllConference Second Team as a shortstop, having started every game at that position for the Twins. This is the second season that Cox has received this honor. She had another successful season at the plate hitting .306 and driving in 12 runs. Cox tied for the most runs scored on the team with 26

this season and it is mostly because of her high on base percentage. Her on base percentage holds at .432 on the season, more than any other player on the Twins. This is thanks to the team leading 14 walks she drew this season. Sophomore Kaylee Hoffman also makes the Mountain Valley Conference All-Conference Second Team for the second season, receiving the honor at second base after receiving it at the outfield position last season. She strived in this new role with a .939 fielding percentage and just four errors this season. Hoffman shines at the plate

however with a .370 batting average and 22 runs batted in. She also held a .575 slugging percentage and hit three home runs. That puts her at 10 home runs in her career here at Columbia-Greene. “All four these young ladies are very deserving of their awards,” Columbia-Greene coach Peter Dedrick said. “Baylee and Kaylee had great careers here at CGCC so it’s a nice way to go out. Jenna and Holly had terrific freshman season so excited to see them continue to work hard and come back for us next year.”

“We got on a roll with a bunch of young players, and that run was significant because of the feeling of what New York gave back to us,” he said. “I used to wake up in the morning up in Westchester and there would be gifts on the doorstep — from people I didn’t even know.” After his playing career ended in 1983, Davidson moved to the MSG television booth, where he would be paired with Sam Rosen. Their tenure included the spring of 1994, when the Rangers won the Stanley Cup after 54 years of frustration. Davidson’s “Oh, baby” exclamations became as well known as Rosen’s “It’s a power-play goal” refrain. “He’s the right man for the organization right now,”

Rosen said of Davidson. Davidson left television in 2006 to take over as president of the St. Louis Blues for six years before assuming the same role with the Columbus Blue Jackets, where he was until last week. Columbus, a struggling young franchise when Davidson got there, made the playoffs in four of his six seasons. “This is the only organization I would ever have left Columbus for,” Davidson said. He was quick to assert that there is plenty of work ahead in his new role. Primarily, there is planning for next month’s draft and getting to know his players. That will include a conversation with Henrik Lundqvist, the team’s 37-year-old franchise

goaltender, who has two years left on his contract but is coming off the worst season of his 14-year NHL career. “He’s a proud, proud guy and very successful at what he does,” Davidson said. “I can hardly wait to chat with him.” Davidson also said he was looking forward to working with general manager Jeff Gorton and coach David Quinn, the former coach at Boston University, who had a 32-36-14 record in his rookie season behind the Rangers’ bench. “There are no quick fixes,” Davidson said. “It’s hard work, it’s patience and it’s having the proper resolve.” Asked if he would feel instant pressure to generate results under the klieg lights of New York, Davidson said, “I have no problems with that.”
