CATSKILL — The fight to reopen the 134-year-old St. Patrick’s Church has moved overseas. St. Patrick’s Church, on Bridge Street, was closed in 2016 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany on the grounds that the building was structurally unsound. Friends of St. Patrick’s Church, a group of about 25 parishioners, appealed the decision but the appeal was denied by the Vatican’s Congregation of the Clergy in 2018. The group is being

Andrea Errera, a canon lawyer, and his assistant, Federica Boldrini. “We recently heard from Federica who informed us that our appeal is expected to be heard by the Collegium of Cardinals but that the promoter of justice, Father Johannes De Witt, has also written that the financial situation of the parish is very bad and it’s demonstrated that the parish at the moment cannot afford to keep the church,” said Deborah Johnson, co-chair of Friends See ST.

CATSKILL — Volunteers who worked the hot, humid days of the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall stop were applauded for their dedication Tuesday as Greene County officials met to assess the impact of the recent event. The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall exhibit is a three-fifths scale of the actual wall scaled down to three-fifths of the size of the one in Washington. Greene County hosted the exhibit with over 58,000 names Aug. 22 through Aug. 25 at Historic Catskill Point. The event was a community effort, Tourist Marketing Manager Heather Bagshaw said. “We could not have done it

without the volunteers,” she said. “They were there every day.” Bagshaw estimated that more than 250 people volunteered to help make the exhibit a reality. A popular service at the memorial was to make volunteers available to locate service members’ names on the wall by doing an online search and providing paper and pencils to do etchings, Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger, R-New Baltimore, said. These volunteers were available each day of the wall’s visit from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m., Bagshaw said. John Lutes, 73, of Cairo, was among those who went to the wall looking for old friends. “He never got to grow up,” See WALL A2

ALBANY — A task force aimed at filling cellphone service gaps in rural areas of upstate New York held its first meeting this week. The Upstate Cellular Coverage Task Force was appointed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year and was created to develop possible solutions and policies to address the lack of cell service in some areas of the state. Jeff Friedman, president and executive director of the Greene County Chamber of Commerce, said cellphone gaps are an issue. “It’s a big problem across the county, and I know it’s one everybody from Sen. Gillibrand to Congressman Delgado to state and county officials have had conversations about to find ways to fill the gap in Greene County,” Friedman said.

“Even in places like Main Street in Catskill — if you have Verizon, you don’t have service,” he added. “It’s a big part of attracting people to live and open businesses here.” The task force was originally proposed earlier this year as part of the 2019 State of the State, and will be administered by Empire State Development. “Columbia Economic Development is encouraged by the appointment of a cellular task force by the governor,” said F. Michael Tucker, president and CEO of Columbia Economic Development Corporation. “Together with his broadband initiative, this will continue to build out the necessary infrastructure needed by the business community.” The task force has 16 members, but none are from the Twin Counties.

money to volunteers,” Bagshaw said. “By the end of the day on Thursday we raised $1,000. People were leaving $50 and $20 bills.” By the end of the week, donations at the exhibit totaled $2,500, Bagshaw said. Throughout the community at large, cash donations for the event rang in at $20,798. Home Depot and Walmart contributed $1,000 and $100 gift cards, valued at $1,000 from Home Depot and $100 from Walmart, Bagshaw said. Expenses for the exhibit came in under budget at

$22,179, Bagshaw said. The original estimate was $26,372. State Sen. George Amedore Jr., R-46, declared the event a success and congratulated the volunteers on their hard work, particularly on opening day. “Kudos to everyone that volunteered, helped or gave resources or their time and talent to make that site so beautiful for that wall,” he said. “It is a very fitting place. I think that is the best site selection Greene County could offer.”

Lutes said of his friend Paul Lewis, who died at age 19. “He never got to own a car.” Lutes, who served as a Petty Officer 3rd Class in the U.S. Navy, recalls not knowing what he was getting into. “I didn’t know what Vietnam was,” he said. When he heard his friends were getting shipped out to Vietnam, he said, “What ship is that?”

“They said, it’s not a ship, you idiot, it’s a country.” Lutes said. “I asked them why they were going there. They said there was a war going on.” Donations from visitors exceeded Bagshaw’s expectations. “We wanted it to be as solemn and reserved as possible,” she said. “We wanted to be respectful.” There was no admission fee and Bagshaw opted not to have donation jars at the grounds. “People were just handing

“Every New Yorker should be able to access a stable cell connection, yet our upstate regions have struggled for too long to make the connections that are vital to everyday life and commerce,” Cuomo said. “Today we’re leading the way forward by establishing a task force of cellular service experts, elected representatives and environmental advocates who will develop concrete policies and help to ensure service is provided and infrastructure for it is built in a sustainable way.” Cell coverage is also a problem in Columbia County, Board of Supervisors Chairman Matt Murell said. “It’s a positive that they do have a task force because I do believe it is a problem in certain sections of Columbia County,” Murell said. “There are areas on the southern tier that are lacking, and in Kinderhook coverage is spotty. In the Valatie area, on Main Street, there is no service.” Both Greene and Columbia counties have areas of sporadic coverage. “There are large pockets all over the county where there is no cell service,” Friedman said. “There are places in the mountaintop and other areas where service is very spotty. It depends on where you are.” Murell said he has received complaints from residents in Germantown, Clermont, Valatie and other areas. Another county committee set up to look at broadband service also drew attention to the lack of adequate cellphone coverage. “We had a broadband committee and a task force and even though they are not related, the public was telling them to fix the cell service while they are at it,” Murell said. A new tower is being constructed in Greene County that could help alleviate the

“Can you hear me now?” That’s a question that is all too common for cell phone users in areas of the Twin Counties. A state task force is looking to alleviate the problem of gaps in rural cell service.

problem in some areas to a degree, Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said. “A new AT&T tower is being built in Tannersville near Twilight Park, which will pick up a lot of service in that area. That is where hiking accidents happen,” Groden said. “We have a number of dead spots there and sometimes not even 911 service works there.” The problem, Groden said, is a lack of adequate infrastructure. “We need more towers and more microwave hops, which send a signal from tower to tower,” Groden said. “There are dead spots and dark zones in many places. In addition to cell service, it affects WiFi for connecting to the internet.” The mountains are one cause of the problem. “We are unique because of the mountain,” Groden said. “You have to be able to get over the humps, and that is where you lose the connection.” State Sen. George Amedore, R-46, noted that there are “huge gaps” across the district and the rest of upstate New York.

“We are living in the 21st century, and just like accessible broadband, reliable cell coverage is critical to strong, healthy communities,” Amedore said. “The time to identify the gaps and make a strong investment to bring our digital infrastructure up to date is way overdue.” Reliable and complete cell coverage is a necessity, Assemblywoman Didi Barrett, D-106, said. “Whether contacting first responders in an emergency to operating a small business, reliable cellphone coverage is an absolute necessity for Hudson Valley families,” Barrett said. “Yet many communities in the 106th Assembly District still struggle with dead zones. On a personal note, I can’t travel between my district offices in Poughkeepsie and Hudson without calls dropping several times. I want to thank the governor for making this a priority, and I look forward to working with him and my Assembly colleagues to ensure all New Yorkers have reliable cellphone service.” A lack of full cellphone

coverage can be an impediment to economic growth, Friedman said. “Especially if you have people from a metro area, like New York City, who are used to having service everywhere, they will not move to a place with no service,” Friedman said. “It’s a workforce attraction, but also for business owners who will also be reluctant to move to a place where they will not have cell service. In this day and age, you should be able to go anywhere and have cellphone coverage.” Assemblyman Jake Ashby, R-107, called improving both cellphone service and broadband connectivity essential to growth in the area. “In our modern world, it is imperative to have the ability to remain connected and our communities with lesser quality service are placed at a disadvantage in terms of attracting new residents and businesses to our area,” Ashby said. “I am hopeful that Gov. Cuomo’s task force will yield an effective plan to modernize our community.”

Bishop Edward Scharfenberger. “Catskill needs our church to be a beacon of hope to all people,” Luvera wrote. “The church has always been a center point for Catskill, not only because it sits in the heart of the village, but also because you can see the gold cross on the steeple from many points as you enter the village. I’m pleading with you to allow this community more time to raise the necessary funds to fix the church building to worship in the home that was designed for this community.” Petrianni said he believes there is hope of overturning the Diocese’s decision. “They didn’t follow protocol when they closed the church,” Petrianni said. “They should have let the congregation know. It should have been up to the people.” The church was in the middle of a capital campaign project when the closure happened, Petrianni said. The Diocese raised about $230,000 to repair the parking

lot and the church, Johnson said. “They finished phase one, which was the parking lot,” she said. “We were expecting the church to reopen. They must have known. Everyone was lied to.” Johnson and Petrianni want to see the building repaired. “We had the Catskill building inspector inspect the church in 2017,” she said. “He said it was not structurally unsound.” Johnson wants to be able to evaluate what is needed in terms of repairs and renovations, she said. “They won’t let us in there to see what the damage is,” Petrianni said. “We had contractors that wanted to work

pro bono. I don’t know why they have a problem with it.” The group continues to hold fundraising events for the church, Johnson said.

of St. Patrick’s Church. The church, which was built in 1885, has a long-standing history in the community, Johnson said. “So many were anguished over the closure of the church because of the family history,” she said. The closure was abrupt, Johnson said. “Eight hundred parishioners scattered,” said Anthony Petrianni, co-chair of Friends of St. Patrick’s Church, adding that many go to churches throughout Greene and Columbia county. “One hundred or so go to the chapel,” he said. After the closure, the chapel was ordained as the church, Petrianni said. Legislator Matthew Luvera, R-Catskill, wrote a letter on behalf of the church in 2017 to Albany Catholic Diocese

Heroin mix left deadly trail By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media

ALBANY — On July 3, 2016, an unconscious man was discovered by police in a vehicle parked in Niverville less than a mile from his drug dealer’s house. The 29-year-old overdose victim from Columbia County, identified only as “S.B.” in court documents, was taken to Albany Medical Center, where he died five days later. An autopsy revealed the man’s organs shut down after a heroin overdose. Inside S.B.’s car, state police found a folded, yellow sticky note with heroin and fentanyl, and “4-0” written on the outside — the amount of money that S.B. told his dealer that he had for the drugs in a text message. Three weeks later, on July 23, 2016, a second victim, a 19-year-old woman identified as “S.S.” in court documents, was found dead at a home in Stuyvesant by deputies from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office. Three folded sticky notes containing heroin and fentanyl were found in a small plastic bag on her bed. The two deaths sparked a federal prosecution of drug dealing in Columbia County, and led to one of the first charges against an alleged drug dealer in the county for causing

a fatal overdose. Using text messages and the signature sticky notes, investigators linked the drugs to Jacob Ebel, 32, of Niverville, who was arrested on drug conspiracy and possession charges, including distribution of controlled substances with serious bodily injury and death resulting from use of controlled substances. Ebel is expected to serve 18 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to the charges Wednesday in U.S. District Court. As part of his plea, Ebel also consented to three years of supervised release. In pleading guilty, Ebel admitted to selling heroin, fentanyl and other controlled substances from 2014 through July 26, 2016 in Columbia County. Ebel also admitted to distributing heroin and fentanyl to the two people who took the drugs and died in Columbia County in July 2016. Ebel has been in custody since his arrest after police seized about 16 grams of heroin and fentanyl in a search of his house July 26. The heroin had a street value of about $5,000, police said at the time of Ebel’s arrest. Ebel intended to sell the drugs, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. After his arrest on July 26, 2016, Ebel told state police investigators from Livingston in

a video-recorded interview that he bought heroin “by the brick,” and said “these people want to overdose,” Jacob Ebel and “you think stopping me is going to stop these people from killing themselves?” Ebel also admitted to police that he would fold heroin into sticky notes before selling it. Shortly before his high slipped him into unconsciousness, S.B. wrote to a friend, “I am going to get the stuff that almost killed me yesterday. I am going to get twice as much this time so this may be the last time u ever talk to me cuz I am all alone this time w no one to save me.” In text messages before picking up the drugs, S.B. told Ebel that he was “buggin’” and upset over a fight with his friend. Ebel told investigators that S.B. didn’t have money so Ebel gave him $20 worth of heroin, which “S.B.” took before leaving Ebel’s house, according to court documents. Ebel said to police that S.B.’s death was “on me.” S.B. communicated with Ebel in text messages prior to his death. Ebel sold heroin and fentanyl to S.B. at on July 3, 2016, about 2:15 p.m., several

hours before S.B. was found unresponsive. Ebel knew that his friend, S.B., died, but he kept dealing heroin and fentanyl, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. “Jacob Ebel was a merchant of death whose heroin and fentanyl killed two people in less than three weeks,” U.S. Attorney Grant C. Jaquith said Wednesday. “Thanks to the quick and thorough work of our law enforcement partners, Ebel is being held responsible for his crimes and the pain and suffering he inflicted on two families.” Ebel sold heroin and fentanyl to S.S.’s husband in the days prior to her death, and that she had taken these drugs and died, according to interviews with her husband and text messages obtained by the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office. Ebel admitted to police he sold $100 in heroin to S.S.’s husband the night she died, according to court documents. Ebel would put the drugs in his mailbox for his clientele to pick up, according to text messages. “Jacob Ebel had absolutely no regard for his victims, instead selling them a dangerous and deadly mix of illegal drugs just to make a profit,” state police Superintendent Keith M. Corlett said. “We have absolutely no tolerance for those

who destroy lives, families and communities for their own personal gain.” Ebel is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 8. U.S. District Court Judge Mae A. D’Agostino will decide whether to accept or reject the recommended sentence on or by the sentencing date. Ebel would be allowed to withdraw his plea and the case would proceed to trial if D’Agostino does not agree with an 18-year sentence. The case was investigated by state police Troop K and the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Columbia County District Attorney’s Office. “Rarely have so many and varied law enforcement agencies worked so well together and so successfully,” said Columbia County District Attorney Paul Czajka. “I thank them all for an outcome that should provide some level of deterrence with respect to the poison that exists on our streets and in too many of our homes. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Barnett. “These dealers are killers and we will continue to work with our federal and state law enforcement partners to bring them to justice for their heinous behavior,” Columbia County Sheriff David Bartlett said.

STUYVESANT— A Columbia County boy achieved his goal of raising more than $10,000 to help children with cancer and he may not be finished. Ichabod Crane Central School fourth-grader Cody Alessi raised the money more than two months before he is expected to compete in the Tap Cancer Out jiu-jitsu tournament in Boston on Nov. 23 by holding dozens of community fundraisers. And the community answered his call. “It feels amazing and I’ve had a lot of help with everyone with fundraising,” the 9-year-old said. “I got to do a lot of fundraising at the S&S Farm Brewery and the chicken barbecue I had at my school really helped.” Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a martial art and combat sport, with a focus on ground fighting. Cody annually competes in Tap Cancer Out, which brings together the Brazilian jiujitsu community and asks its competitors to raise money to help childhood cancer patients. Cody will represent his gym, Atlas Jiu Jitsu of Hudson, in the competition.

OUR VIEW

Lawsuit will address a costly and deadly cycle Point to any instance of drug abuse or addiction, and someone has to pay for the consequences. Law enforcement, addiction recovery centers and counselors are necessary but don’t come cheap. So Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement Tuesday that New York state will file a lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and distributors to recoup at least some of the cost of higher health insurance premiums caused by the opioid crisis is an excellent move. The lawsuit, brought by the state Department of Financial Services, alleges that the pharmaceutical companies defrauded health insurance companies. Such alleged fraud, said Superintendent of Financial Services Linda Lacewell, cost New York consumers $2 billion in higher health insurance

rates. Fraudulent or not — which a court will decide — the pharmaceutical companies set off a relentless daisy chain. Health insurance companies paid for these legal prescriptions of painkillers. Then they paid for the refills of the prescription. Next comes the emergency room visit when the person overdoses. Then it is the rehabilitation facility when the person, now an addict, enters treatment. The Department of Financial Services is conducting an investigation into the alleged fraud and hearings are being held across the state. The lawsuit will be filed when the investigation and hearings are completed. The lawsuit will name opioid manufacturers, distributors and pharmacy benefit managers as defendants.

In the past, former lawsuits have not typically targeted pharmacy benefit managers, who are the intermediaries between opioid manufacturers and health care providers and insurers. In 2017 and 2018, Columbia and Greene counties, combined, saw 50 deaths, 155 emergency room visits and 23 hospitalizations due to opioid overdoses, according to the state Department of Health. As a whole, New York had more than 1,700 deaths caused by opioid overdoses in 2018. Soaring health care costs and health insurance premiums are bankrupting consumers and eroding trust in the state’s health care system. It’s time for New York to stand tough and definitively address the costly and deadly cycle of prescription drug addiction.

Can’t weather forecasting be free from politics? The Washington Post

Late-night comics have had quite a field day with “Sharpiegate.” How could they not? From the start, the events surrounding President Donald Trump’s false claim that Hurricane Dorian was headed for Alabama seemed like some sort of silly joke. But what has played out over the past week - an administration threatening scientists and undermining a critical government agency to back up a president who can’t just say he made a mistake - is not at all laughable. It is serious and dangerous and, sad to say, par for the course for a White House that is clearly scornful of both science and federal workers. If any agency should be free of politics, one would think it would be the one that forecasts the weather. Instead, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is embroiled in controversy for issuing an unusual statement in which it took the president’s side against

that of its own scientists. It defended Trump’s inaccurate tweet about Hurricane Dorian posing an unexpected threat to Alabama and admonished federal weather forecasters in Birmingham, Alabama, who had corrected the false report after it prompted questions from a worried public. The unsigned statement from NOAA came after several days of Trump insisting he was right (at one point presenting a weather map that had been altered with a marker) and after, according to The New York Times, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross had threatened to fire people. The Washington Post reported that Trump pushed his staff to get NOAA to act and that acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney called Ross and told him to fix the issue. Investigations have been opened by the Office of Inspector General of the Commerce Department and the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. It is important they find out ex-

actly what happened. What is at stake is the agency’s credibility and, ultimately, the public’s safety. That scientists were rebuked because they took quick action to let people in Alabama know they didn’t face danger from the hurricane - that they didn’t need to think about evacuating or rushing to the grocery store or picking their children up from day care - is, or should be, unfathomable. This, though, is an administration that seems to delight in thumbing its nose at scientific expertise; witness its refusal to recognize the dangers of climate change. There are some bright lights in this depressing story. Hats off to National Weather Service Director Louis Uccellini and to NOAA acting chief scientist Craig McLean for breaking with their bosses and backing the forecasters who were doing their jobs. They showed the kind of pluck and professionalism that are sadly lacking at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

The imposed limit on free thought You’re seeking a job. Maybe your first job. One of the sentences you’re likely to read in the job ad description is, are you a team player? Since this is your first job, you may be wondering what type of personality they are trying to attract with this particular bit of inquiry. You may have learned of figures like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx, Baruch Spinoza and David Hume, Rosa Luxemburg and Hannah Arendt, and Charles Darwin, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. After assessing this highly compressed list against a “team player” construct, it may dawn on you that this corporation — let’s call it a corporation — is not seeking a person given to non-conformity and individual, critical thought. Countless other lists could illustrate this same point. Of course you would be correct in concluding that the corporation is merely filling a replacement part in a machine, which part would be useless if it interfered with the other parts, or, in some way, negatively affected the machine. The machine is constructed in such a way as to make all parts exchangeable and disposable. This is the way of all bureaucracies, of all hierarchal structures. Multi-national corporations want their team players to be secretive, intelligence agencies want their team players to be mute, and the United States government wants its team players (citizens) to be patriotic. The mechanisms available for maintaining hierarchal control range from force to persuasion. On the forceful end are jailings, firings, intimidation, retribution and character assassination. On the persuasive end are career advancement, financial incentives, increased authority, and the tool with the utmost utility and finesse, propaganda. Propaganda keeps us in the team player category by making us think we know things. For example, consider American attitude on foreign aid. Polls reveal Americans estimate that upwards of 25 percent of the federal budget is spent on foreign aid, when the actual figure is under 1 percent. This indicates that people pay attention to the propaganda about how much good the country is doing in the world. If the government wished the estimate to be more realistic, it could make clear that what is called “aid” is really the intrusion of the U.S. into the political, economic and military affairs of a target country for the purpose of making it into a dependency. That would nod the estimate down. Way down. It’s as if there’s a mass psychosis in the country. Our government boasts about its power over other countries at the same time as it claims to want to bring them up. Nobody is

MY VIEW

JAMES

ROTHENBERG forced to ignore this naked contradiction, as influential media people routinely do. How to understand it? They may not be censored, although some surely are. They may not be self-censoring, although some surely are. There’s another explanation. It shouldn’t surprise if big time reporters land consistently on the same side as Washington, because if they didn’t, they wouldn’t be in the positions they presently occupy. We also know things like Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election may have affected the outcome, that Syrian president Bashar al-Assad gasses his own people, and that Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro refused humanitarian aid. We’re supposed to know this because it is repeated on our tv’s and in our newspapers. We know that Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange have committed crimes because they’ve been accused of committing them by our high officials. Edward Snowden is lucky in that he is, at least temporarily, out of the clutches of the U.S. empire, thanks to Russia. Which makes him back page news for now. When he was front page, calls went out from political progressives for him to willingly return to the United States and face the music for his day in court. Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange presently occupy prison cells on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Freedom of speech doesn’t give one the right to shout “fire” in a crowded theater, and neither does it afford the right to shout “crimes” in the halls of the national security complex. And crimes there are. From the crime of aggression (the supreme international crime) that was the Iraq War, to the crimes of torture, humiliation and terror that accompany all war, and on to murder, assassination, illegal detention and mass unwarranted surveillance of citizens (collectively referred to by government as “classified material”). But we don’t know anything about these crimes, like we know about Snowden’s and Manning’s and Assange’s, because nobody has been accused of committing them by our high officials. That’s a startling difference. Monstrous crimes go unrecognized while revealing evidence of them is criminal. The Iraq War was a seminal event so this is worth going through. In what sense can

the war be said to be illegal, a crime? Here’s chapter and verse. UN Charter, Chapter VII, Article 39: The Security Council shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression and shall make recommendations, or decide what measures shall be taken in accordance with Articles 41 and 42, to maintain or restore international peace and security. Article 41: The Security Council may decide what measures not involving the use of armed force are to be employed to give effect to its decisions, and it may call upon the Members of the United Nations to apply such measures. Now there was no prior assent given for an invasion by the Security Council, nor were collective measures called for from the member nations. The invasion was, as explicitly stated in 2004 by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, illegal from the point of view of the UN Charter. Don’t be lulled by the “point of view”. Murder is illegal from the point of view of the penal code. For those who wonder what international law has to do with U.S. law, more chapter and verse. The UN Charter is a treaty ratified by the United States on 26 June 1945. Article VI of the Constitution provides that all treaties made under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land. The G.W. Bush administration had no illusion about this technical point, neither did the Tony Blair administration. Illegal attempts were made (now the subject of a movie) to wrestle the swing nations in the Security Council into submission. Failing to work, the plan for invasion shifted into an all out exploitation of UN Charter Article 51 — the inherent right of self-defense —legitimate if true. But it was all lies, the mobile biological weapons lab, the chemical weapons, the aluminum tubes, the memorable smoking gun/mushroom cloud mixed metaphor. So the perpetrators were spared their Nuremberg for two reasons. Iraq didn’t defeat the United States and take over its government, and there is no precedent of a nation indicting itself. Meanwhile, Manning and Assange remain political prisoners, and Snowden a political prisoner in absentia. It is vitally important to fight for their freedom. No team player will do it. Émile Zola did it when he wrote, “J’accuse”, in defense of Alfred Dreyfus, taking on the French military high command. So much more developed is our national security state that it may take a thousand Zolas. But what stands out are individuals acting against the pack. History does reward them. James Rothenberg, of North Chatham, writes on U.S. social and foreign policy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Support for editorial To the editor: I support the Register Star’s editorial “Get a handle on the overdose crisis” (September 3). In public education, we are seeing the devastating impact firsthand, with families torn apart by substance abuse and students who become addicted to opioids and other drugs. Questar III, along

with its partner BOCES, are exploring the development of a “recovery high school” to assist students in recovery from substance abuse or dependency. With approximately 10 percent of youths, ages 12-17, statewide with a substance problem, this means that there is a sizeable population in need of assistance. Ultimately,

this effort requires a collaborative effort among schools and community partners — to provide recovery support to students and families alike while keeping students on the pathway to graduation.

Her temperature spiked the day she decided to stop vaping — now she’s on life support Marisa Iati The Washington Post

She had decided that day to put down the vaping device, but it was already too late. After vaping for two years as an alternative to smoking cigarettes, 17-year-old Whitney Livingston came down with a fever that landed her on life support, her mother told Fox4News. com. “She could have almost died,” Jennifer Audas told Fox4News about her daughter. “And her oxygen had already dropped all the way. There was pneumonia in both lungs. The doctor said that it looked like no pneumonia he’d ever seen.” Livingston’s illness comes as health officials scramble to understand a wave of serious lung diseases afflicting more than 450 otherwise healthy people who use e-cigarettes, which mimic smoking by heating liquids with substances such as nicotine or marijuana. Six deaths have been attributed to vaping, and the Trump administration on Wednesday said it would move to ban most flavored e-cigarettes. Livingston, a high school senior who works as a restaurant hostess, is being treated at a hospital in Dallas after she became sick about two weeks ago, Fox4News reported. At first, the report says, her symptoms resembled those of a stomach virus: a fever, a cough and rapid breathing. She immediately knew what was happening. Livingston had read about a spate of vapingrelated illnesses and deaths across the country, Fox4News reported, and she understood the risks of using the e-cigarettes. Doctors, however, are not sure that vaping caused Livingston’s illness, CBS Dallas/ Fort Worth reported. Audas told Fox4News that when her daughter revealed she

had been smoking cigarettes, Audas had thought vaping would be a better alternative. “You think: cigarettes, you’re going to get cancer, so this is much healthier,” Audas told Fox4News. “Because that’s the way it’s portrayed.” Livingston’s health is improving, the news station reported, but the family is unsure of what lies ahead for her. Although e-cigarettes have been on the market for more than a decade, reports of illnesses accelerated this year after patients reported coughing, chest pain or shortness of breath. Many people have been diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome, a lifethreatening condition in which fluid builds up in the lungs. As The Washington Post’s Hannah Knowles previously reported: “Officials are still trying to figure out what, exactly, is causing people to fall ill. They think chemicals are to blame. “ ‘The focus of our investigation is narrowing, and that is great news, but we are still faced with complex questions in this outbreak that will take time to answer,’ said Ileana Arias, CDC acting deputy director for noninfectious diseases. “The nationwide investigation has found no particular vaping devices or products linked to all cases and is looking into potential contamination or counterfeit, as many victims report buying marijuana on the street rather than from a store,” the report continued. The popularity of vaping has soared in recent years as young people in particular take to the practice. More than half of users are younger than 35 years old, according to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Nestle takes trial-and-error approach to reduce packaging Corinne Gretler Bloomberg

Nestle SA Chief Executive Officer Mark Schneider’s strategy of throwing new ideas at the wall to see what sticks has produced a dispenser that spits out drinking water — 64 varieties of it. The world’s biggest food company showcased the new gadget, the size of a vending machine, as it launched a new research center to look for ways to reduce packaging. Like other bottlers, the owner of Pure Life and Poland Spring has faced criticism over the environmental impact of transporting and selling water in millions of plastic containers. The dispenser offers 64 different kinds of water — from plain to flavored, with various degrees of carbonation. The company is testing the machine, which attaches to the tap and includes a filtration and purification system, at its own sites around the world. Nestle may introduce the device, which can accept cashless payments, next year. While it’s intended for offices and cafeterias, the

company is considering a smaller home version. It follows rival Danone’s development of a water appliance that dispenses Evian from a balloon-like container.

“We’re in a period of trial and error, where we attempt a lot of things and see what works,” Schneider said at the new center as the company announced a commitment

to zero net greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050. “The fact that we’re trying is more important” than whether any individual project succeeds.

A fortune teller scammed a woman out of $1.6 million — she said she needed it to break a curse Kayla Epstein The Washington Post

A Florida woman was sentenced to 40 months in prison after fleecing $1.6 million from a victim by claiming she could lift a family curse. Federal authorities say that Sherry Tina Uwanawich, also known as Jacqueline Miller, posed as a fortune teller to scam the unsuspecting victim. She had claimed to have “God-given” powers to assist clients with physical and spiritual ailments, according to a 2018 indictment. Uwanawich met her victim, named in court documents as V.G., in Houston in 2007, and “gained the trust of the victim and convinced

her that a curse had been placed on her and her family,” according to a release from U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of Florida. “The defendant claimed she needed large sums of money to purchase items, such as crystals, candles and the like, which were needed for meditation work in order to lift the curse,” authorities continued. At one point, court documents indicated that Uwanawich asked for jewelry. “Failure to do so, the victim was led to believe, would result in harm to her and her family.” Their relationship continued even when Uwanawich moved to South Florida. All told, her services rung up a

$1.6 million tab for the allegedly cursed woman. Federal prosecutors announced Monday that Uwanawich had been ordered to serve time and pay full restitution to her victim. She had previously pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud. The scheme came to an end in 2014, prosecutors say, when Uwanawich informed her victim that she could not, in fact, lift the curse. But Uwanawich’s lawyer, James Stewart Lewis, told The Washington Post that his client was forced into fortune telling by her family, who are members of the Romani community (also known as Roma). He also claimed that she had been diagnosed with

schizophrenia, which led her to believe that she had psychic abilities. Court documents show a request for a psychiatric evaluation of Uwanawich, but Lewis said the actual evaluations are under seal. “Under all the circumstances I think her sentence is pretty harsh,” he said. “I feel bad for her.”

Sacco-McDonald-Valenti Funeral Home

The New York Times News Service

What does it mean that Joe Biden, a front-runner for the Democratic nomination for president, has approximately zero online energy around his campaign — that he has, if such a thing is possible, negative online energy? Search for Biden-related Facebook activity, and you’ll be confronted by groups dedicated to memeing the former vice president’s habit of sniffing the hair of women and girls. Throughout the Obama administration, The Onion delighted in mocking Biden, plugging him into the persona of a disarming old rascal, but this year, a former Onion editor, Joe Garden, publicly apologized for that coverage. Nobody is coming out on Twitter as a Biden stan. Why? It’s partly because the Democratic electorate is older and less lefty than its Twitter delegation suggests. But there is also an inverse relationship between a campaign’s proximity to traditional power centers and the online buzz it inspires. And Biden is running on the most establishment platform possible: His pitch is that he should win because he could win. When Biden was the vice president, there was space to play around with his persona. It was cute to imagine him stripped down to a tank top on the White House lawn,

polishing a Trans Am. But now that he is gunning for the presidency, his appeal as an online object of fascination has waned. Garden said he regretted framing Biden in a way that made him seem “‘creepy but harmless,’ with the emphasis on ‘harmless.’” There is a paradox at the heart of presidential fandom: It views the most powerful person on the planet as also, somehow, the little

guy. Candidates can embody that contradiction through their ideologies (if they are socialists or populists); their biographies (cue presidential hopefuls shaking their family trees until some humble welder falls out); or their attitudes (President Donald Trump is literally mighty but acts figuratively small). No tension exists within Biden’s persona: It’s just power in pursuit of more.

Minor bulbs have a major impact By Thomas Christopher For Columbia-Greene Media

I’ve been scanning bulb catalogs recently, looking for the ones that I’ll plant this fall to bloom next spring. As usual, I find myself gravitating to the so-called “minor” bulbs. These are minor only in the sense of size — typically they are compact types that grow smaller than the familiar, full-sized tulips and daffodils. But the smaller bulbs’ blossoms and foliage have a delicacy that especially appeals to me. Several types have proven especially persistent in my garden, long outliving, in particular, the bolder but less perennial hybrid tulips. This longevity makes the minor bubs a particularly good investment. My favorites among the minor bulbs are the crocuses. Not the larger, more obvious Dutch hybrid crocuses but the smaller species types with small, softer-hued blossoms. Some of these will not only survive from year to year but may actually proliferate. The white, pale purple, and yellow flowered snow crocuses (Crocus chrysanthus)

Crocuses are some of the most popular and satisfying minor bulbs that will not only survive from year to year but may actually proliferate.

I have scattered through my front lawn have done this. They bloom early, as soon as the last snow melts, and are already growing dormant by the time I first have to mow the lawn in late May, so they aren’t harmed by the clipping. “Tommy crocuses” — Crocus tommasinanus — are another early blooming type, and like the snow crocuses they are hardy to USDA zone 3. Tommies will also naturalize in a lawn, bearing lavender to reddish-purple flowers year after year, and I think I’ll try

them this year. I’ve also had good luck with snowdrops (Galanthus spp.). I love their very early, pendant, green and white blossoms, and their reliability. They are also hardy to USDA zone 3 and they have established themselves in my lawn in slowly expanding clusters that every few years my wife lifts and separates while in full, leafy growth, transplanting the resulting divisions to new locations. As a result, they are all over the garden now, popping up in beds as well as the turf.

All of them descend from a couple of clusters given to me by the son of an elderly friend in the spring after the father’s funeral 29 years ago. The father, William A. Owens, was my writing mentor as well as an enthusiastic gardener, and the descendants of his snowdrops and are especially welcome because they remind me of him. Other minor bulbs I favor include winter aconite (Eranthis hyemalis), another early spring bloomer whose buttercup-like flowers sit atop green, leafy collars. These are also super hardy (to USDA zone 3) and will thrive in full sun or partial shade. They prefer a consistently moist spot, however, and don’t seem pleased with the spot where I planted them at the edge of a sugar maple’s canopy. Mine have persisted for many years, but they are said to seed themselves about where their need for moisture is better met. Grape hyacinths (Muscari armeniacum) and squills (Scilla siberica) are also good choices for naturalizing in lawns. They are reliably

perennial, thrive in sun or partial shade, and are hardy throughout our region: grape hyacinths overwinter successfully in USDA zone 4, while squills will survive as far north as zone 2. Perhaps because they are so popular and widely planted, these provoke my inner plant snob, and I prefer to spend my money on the less common striped squill (Pushkinia scilloides) and glory-of-the-snow (Chionodoxa luciliae). The striped squills have pale blue, star-like flowers whose petals are marked with a central stripe of darker blue, while the glory-of-the-snow bears loose clusters of lilac blue to soft violet blue flowers with small white centers. These too prefer full sun or partial shade; the striped squills are hardy to USDA zone 4, while glory-ofthe-snow are reliably perennial through zone 3. Like most bulbs, these minor bulbs require a welldrained soil. Most will flourish in a lawn if the first mowing is postponed until the bulbs’ foliage yellows in late spring, and the grass is left unwatered

in the summertime. They are also ideal for rock gardens and I like them scattered through the edges of perennial beds, where they provide floral color while their larger neighbors are just beginning to break dormancy. Typically, it is recommended that they be planted in sweeps, to compensate for the small size of the individual blossoms. I like them just fine, though, as singletons or in small clusters, where they must be admired on bended knee.

Workshop Beyond Foraging Law gives more veterans access to American Legion programs to be presented Sept. 14 EAST MEREDITH — Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower leads “Beyond Foraging,” a workshop, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sept. 14 at the West Kortright Centre, 49 West Kortright Church Road, East Meredith. The workshop teaches attendees to strengthen their internal adaptive tools and reflect on community roles and connections. Questions asked throughout the workshop include: What if we can’t slow down climate change? Can we experience positive acceptance of adverse change? How can communities be successful and resilient in the face of an uncertain future? Participants will explore topics related to Professor Jem Bendell’s “Deep Adaptation” paper, evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis’s works on the significance of symbiosis

in evolution, and traditional ways of communicating with nature. The workshop includes mind and body exercises, with an emphasis on developing keen observation and communication skills. UhlmannBower draws on her work as one of the region’s most respected herbalists to teach others how best to look at and listen to plants and trees, tying these skills to the development of cognitive agility techniques— the capacity of an individual to easily move back and forth between openness and focus, the ability to respond with alternative solutions, and the flexibility to change the focus of attention between wide and narrow perspectives for deep analysis and processing of new information in a changing context.

Preregistration is required. The cost is $45; $40/WKC members; or $60/couple for WKC members. An herbalist, NYS licensed R.N., and outdoors wellness educator associated with Weeds, Leaves, Seeds & Shoots and the Plant Pioneers Project, Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower offers outdoor programs oriented for most age groups. Her focus is on whole sustainable wellness, heart-centered earth stewardship, environmental respect and accountability, and reciprocal human-plant relationships.

HUDSON — Since the new “Legion Act” was signed into law July 30 declares that the United States has been in a state of war for one reason or another since Dec. 7, 1941, approximately 6 million veterans now have access to American Legion programs and benefits that they previously

had not been eligible for. The American Legion had sought the declaration as a way to honor approximately 1,600 U.S. service members who were killed or wounded during previously undeclared periods of war. The American Legion’s membership eligibility

criteria immediately changes from seven war eras to two: April 6, 1917, through Nov. 11, 1918; and Dec. 7, 1941, to a time later determined by the federal government. Interested in joining? Call the Hudson American Legion at 518-828-4707 or any local American Legion.

Introduction to the basic tenets of Buddhism EAST MEREDITH — Lanny Harrison will present a onehour introduction of the basic tenets of Buddhism and guided meditation at 2 p.m. Sept. 15 at the West Kortright Centre, 49 West Kortright Church Road, East Meredith. This public talk is free and open to the public; no registration is required. Buddhism encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual practices based on original teachings attributed to the Buddha and resulting interpreted philosophies. Buddhism originated

in ancient India as a Sramana tradition sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE, spreading through much of Asia to become the world’s fourth-largest religion with over 520 million followers — more than 7% of the global population. Meditation can remove stress and replace it with a dose of inner peace. This tool helps people balance their emotions, deal with physical and psychological distress, and promote the peace of the present moment. Despite the benefits, it can

be tough to meditate without a teacher or guide. Guided meditations literally walk you through a meditation and help you find a calm and peaceful state — one step at a time. Since 1971, Harrison has been a student of the meditation master and founder of Naropa University Chogyam Trungpa, who died in 1987. She is a certified meditation instructor in the Shambhala tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. For information, visit westkc.org or call 607-278-5454.

Led by Karén Hakobyan —founder, artistic director and principal conductor — the orchestra brings together musicians and audiences of diverse backgrounds and cultural heritages by harnessing the power of music. For its Friends of Music engagement, Pegasus: The Orchestra features 17 of its members to present Americana, three American masterpieces. The Americana program reflects on the American landscape in its triumph and turbulence, with a presentation of Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring” and Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings.” Karén Hakobyan (who will perform and conduct from the piano) will also share his new arrangement of George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”—a jewel of classical jazz. A nod to America’s past, Pegasus reminds audiences of the American music melting pot. This concert is made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Grant Program by grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, administered in Delaware County by The Roxbury Arts Group, Inc.,

In Carter’s new play “Better,” 20-year-old Emily’s life is turned upside down when her mother commits a shockingly violent act. She leaves school, takes a job at a fondue restaurant, consults a medium, and, like the good student she’s always been, searches for answers. How will she be able to endure her pain? What might she be capable of? Does she deserve happiness? And will things ever get better?

‘Both Sides Now: New Work by Virginia Donovan’ at RiverWinds Gallery, Sept. 14 – Oct. 6 BEACON — RiverWinds Gallery at 172 Main St., Beacon, is presenting “Both Sides Now: New Work by Virginia Donovan.” Donovan explains the dichotomy: “In the past couple of years, I have been working back and forth between contemporary painting in acrylics and more traditional landscape paintings in oils. While the two may seem totally different, I find that each inspires the other. In both genres, I am working with brush and knife and looking to affect texture. But it is more than that: the landscape paintings tend to be of places I have loved, that really spoke to me and added roots to my life. In the contemporary work, I am paying attention to feelings and events that have moved me and grounded me.” The artist’s opening will be Sept. 14, from 6-9 p.m. The show runs through Oct. 6. Virginia Donovan is a co-owner of RiverWinds Gallery since it began 16 years ago. She has been active in the Bannerman’s Castle Trust, a local group organized to promote interest in and support of the preservation of Bannerman’s Island. She has participated in and helped coordinate numerous Bannerman’s art shows and benefits and several “Artists on the Rock”painting events.

Music Mountain presents the Dover Quartet FALLS VILLAGE, Conn. — There are just two more weekends to catch the 90th anniversary season of Music Mountain, America’s longest running summer chamber music festival, this season. On Sunday, Sept. 15, at 3 p.m., the Dover Quartet will perform the penultimate concert of the summer season. The Quartet’s distinctive sound — its burnished warmth, incisive rhythms, and natural phrasing — has helped confirm its status as “the young American string quartet of the moment,” according to The New Yorker. The Quartet’s program at Music Mountain features

ICC, Hudson, C-A set for home openers By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

VALATIE — Things couldn’t have gone much better than they did for the Ichabod Crane in a season-opening 44-0 victory over Catskill/CairoDurham in Week 1 of the high school football season. The Riders look to make it two wins in a row tonight at 7 when they host Voorheesville in a cross-division game. In other action on Friday, Hudson hosts Schalmont, Coxsackie-Athens entertains Watervliet and Catskill/CairoDurham goes to Hoosick Falls. All three games have a 7 p.m. kickoff. Chatham plays at Helderberg Valley on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Taconic Hills has a bye this week. “Always nice to get a win to start things off,” Riders’ coach Tom Call said. “Last year at this point we were 0-1 and being 1-0 feels a lot better.” Senior quarterback Austin Walsh accounted for four touchdowns in the Week 1 victory, throwing for three and running for one. Marcus George scored three different ways — running, receiving and with an intrception. He finished with 141 yards rushing. Coach Call is hoping for more of the same in tonight’s home opener “Early in the week we talked to the team about how will we handle success,” Call said. “Mentioned how we need to take the approach of: ignoring the noise, managing expectations and doing our job (in the classroom first and foremost, but also during practice learning our gameplan this week. New week, new opponent, different challenges). “There’s a lot of opportunity become distracted this week See FOOTBALL B6

Darnold out, Bell hurt as Jets prep for Browns Field Level Media

Quarterback Sam Darnold is out indefinitely with mono and will not play Monday when the New York Jets host the Cleveland Browns. But that’s only the beginning of the bad news spreading for New York. Darnold could wind up missing more than just one game, coach Adam Gase said, and has already lost weight. The Jets play the New England Patriots in Week 3 before a bye the following week. “14 (Darnold) has mono and will be out for this game,” Gase said in a dismal-toned press conference Thursday morning. “So Trevor (Siemian) will be starting. Luke Falk will be elevated (from the practice

squad) at some point and be the backup. So ... that will be that.” Le’Veon Bell played his first NFL game in 20 months last week and the running back appeared to hold up perfectly fine. Gase said Bell would not practice Thursday because of a sore shoulder, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Bell was scheduled for an MRI exam. Also not practicing are inside linebacker C.J. Mosley, who injured his groin in Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, and safety Jamal Adams (hip). Defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle) was also listed as not practicing for the Jets, although his injury is not considered serious.

CHATHAM — Lexi Mickle had four goals and Caroline Paolucci added three as Chatham posted a 15-0 victory over Hudson in Wednesday’s Patroon Conference girls soccer game. Nearly all of Chatham’s roster was able to touch the field in the game, with four players rotating as keeper and eight players scoring at least one goal. “I’m proud of the girls that stepped up to go in the goal today.” Chatham coach, Shawn Willis said. “We are still trying to figure out a starter (goalie).” Mickle scored three goals in the first half and one in the second for the Panthers. Addie Potter and Kamryn Hanson both had two goals and Sam Bryant, Hannah Taylor, Maria Castellanos and Haley Pulver each had one goal. Chatham took 23 shots on Hudson’s goal and had four corner kicks Haley Pulver, Erika Jackson, Sam Bryant and Taylor Madsen all had a turn in goal for the Panthers, stopping one shot. “I’m proud of the team,” Willis said, “In the first twenty minutes it was only 2-0, so I gave them a nice pep talk, then they finally came out and woke up.” Hudson had two goalies in the game, Serenity McOntt-Phillips made two saves and Lilly Kritzman made three saves. Maple Hill 1, Catskill 0 CASTLETON — Maple Hill knocked Catskill from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 1-0 victory in Wednesday’s Patroon Conference girls soccer action. Paige Padilla scored the only goal of the contest in the second half as Maple Hill improved to 3-0 in conference play. Catskill is now 3-2 overall, 2-1 in the Patroon.

Bella Trostle and Emma Haller both scored a goal for the Spartans. Meghan Misuraca and Morgan Whitbeck each picked up an assist.

“On a very hot and humid day, Greenville came to play and had the run of play throughout much of the match,” Taconic Hills coach Patrick McDonald said. “Molly Quinn played an exceptional game for Greenville, scoring three goals and keeping constant pressure on the Titans’ backline.” Titans’ goalkeeper, Lauren Adamo, played a solid match between the pipes See SOCCER B6

Ichabod Crane 3, CCHS 1 Ichabod Crane limped into its Colonial Council girls soccer match with only 12 available players against Catholic Central on Wednesday night and showed an incredible amount of resilience. The Riders got on the board first when Emma Brew hit Abigail Dolge on a through Ball and Dolge beat two CCHS defenders and the keeper for the score. Ten minutes later CCHS capitalized when Ichabod failed to clear a corner kick tied the match at one. But Dolge struck again on a breakaway with only 1 minute left in the half to send the Lady Riders to half time with a 2-1 lead. In the second half, Ashley Ames found Dolge on another run and she put it away for the hat trick. The final 15 minutes saw a furious push by CCHS but the Lady Riders would not be denied. A stout defensive effort was turned in by Sarah Dugan, Emma Ressler, Ava Heffner, Katie DeVito and keeper Cali Ringwood who turned away 21 shots on goal.

match to cap the scoring. Germantown Coach Pudney was pleased with another strong effort by his team. “They played great front to back again,” he said. The coach noted that en route to out-shooting Loudonville 31-2 his team hit five crossbars or posts along the way. He said he’s very pleased with his team’s chemistry and effort in its first few games. “We’re doing a very good job of keeping our defensive shape and I think our team possession has been quite good so far,” he said. Germantown has another CHVL match on Friday at 4:15 p.m. at Heatly.

Upon the annexed Complaint sworn to by Carl Hasselbarth, President of the Board of Trustees of the Presbytery of Albany, on the 22nd day of May, 2019; the Affidavit of Carolyn Snyder Lemmon, attorney for the Plaintiff herein, sworn on the 29th day of May, 2019; and upon all other previous papers and proceedings in this matter, and due deliberation having been taken, it is in the discretion of the Court: ORDERED, that Defendants show cause at the Supreme Court of the State of New York, held in and for the County of Albany, at the Courthouse, 16 Eagle Street, Albany, New York, on the 7/5/19 (as in original draft Order: June 19, 2019), at 9:30 a.m. * No appearance required unless directed by Assigned Judge (initialed GWC 6/19/19), or as soon thereafter as counsel can be heard, why an Order and Judgment should not be rendered: 1.

Approving Plaintiff's service on all Defendants pursuant to CPLR 308(5) by publication of legal notice in the Albany Times Union and Register-Star, twice a week for three consecutive weeks, which shall include the following: a) The court and parties to this action, together with the index and RJI numbers; b) A statement that the action is to extinguish deed restrictions pursuant to Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law Section 1955 and Real Property Law Section 345 on the use of land of the extinct church formerly known as the Carlisle Presbyterian Church, located at 2416 Highway Route 20 and 629 Crommie Road, both in the Town of Carlisle, County of Schoharie, New York, title to which has been vested in the Plaintiff; c) The Court has directed substitute service pursuant to CPLR 308(5); d) Copies of the Complaint and supporting papers and a copy of the Order directing substitute service pursuant to CPLR 308(5) are available for public viewing at the Albany County Court Clerk's Office, located at the Albany County Court-

DATED: 6/19/19 ENTER: (Original Signed by Gerald W. Connolly, Acting Supreme Court Justice) STATE OF NEW YORK SUPREME COURT COUNTY OF ALBANY TRUSTEES OF THE PRESBYTERY OF ALBANY, Plaintiff, COMPLAINT Index No.: 903216 RJI No.: 01-19-132107 -againstHEIRS AND ASSIGNS OF JOHN H. LIVINGSTON AND SARAH LIVINGSTON, Defendants. ACTION TO EXTINGUISH DEED RESTRICTIONS This is an action to extinguish ancient deed restrictions pursuant to Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law §1955 on the use of land of the extinct church formerly known as the Carlisle Presbyterian Church in the Town of Carlisle, County of Schoharie, New York. Title to the extinct church property is now vested in the Presbytery of Albany, located in Watervliet, New York. The 1806 deed, with a transcription for the Court's convenience, are included herewith as Exhibit A. Carl Hasselbarth, President of the Trustees of Presbytery of Albany, complaining of the defendants, alleges: 1. Plaintiff, Trustees of the Presbytery of Albany, is a religious, notfor-profit corporation duly incorporated on the 20th day of January, 1959, under Section 15 of the Religious Corporation Laws of the State of New York. 2. Plaintiff's business mailing address is P.O. Box 83, Watervliet, New York. 3. Plaintiff is responsible for the mission and governance of local denominational churches and of the

Presbytery throughout the Capital Region. The Book of Order of the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (USA) Part II expressly states that whenever property of a particular church ceases to be used by that church, such property shall be held, used, applied, transferred, or sold as provided by the presbytery. 4. This Complaint concerns a restriction in the form of a reverter in the deed conveyed to the former Carlisle Presbyterian Church, which was within the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Plaintiff. 5. The Carlisle Presbyterian Church voted to dissolve on October 11, 2018. Plaintiff approved the dissolution on November 13, 2018. 6. Upon dissolution, the real and personal property of the Carlisle Presbyterian Church passed under denominational law to Plaintiff. 7. The subject property is located at 2416 Highway Route 20 and 629 Crommie Road, both of which are in the Town of Carlisle, County of Schoharie, New York. 8. The subject property was conveyed in 1806 from John H. Livingston of the City of New York and his wife Sarah Livingston to the Trustees of the Carlisle Presbyterian Church. 9. The dissolution of the Carlisle Presbyterian Church invoked a restriction in the said 1806 deed, to wit: that the grantors' gift continues for "so long as the said Congregation shall worship and perform divine service, and remain in due and regular connection as a Church either with the Presbyterian Church or with the reformed Dutch church in America…[a]nd for no other intent, use or purpose whatsoever." The deed further provides that upon a failure of the condition of the grant, then ""it shall and may be lawful for the …heirs and assigns in and upon the premises aforesaid to reenter, and the same to have again, repossess and enjoy as in their former estate." The handwritten deed, with a transcription by Catherine Adams, are Exhibit "A" hereto. 10.Plaintiff does not have a new congregation to worship and make religious use of the subject property and cannot afford to maintain the property. Upon Court approval of this action to extinguish the deed restric-

tion, Plaintiff will proceed to market and sell the property. AS AND FOR A FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION: THE DEED RESTRICTIONS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPEDE PLAINTIFF IN FURTHERANCE OF THE RELIGIOUS PURPOSES FOR WHICH THE LAND IS HELD 11.The property consists of approximately three acres, including a church with an attached back building, a parsonage ("manse"), and a vacant school. The sanctuary is approximately 135 years old and is constructed of wood with vinyl siding. 12.The church building is reported to be in fairly good repair. 13.Plaintiff cannot afford the costs of insurance, maintenance, ploughing and snow removal without seriously compromising its ability to carry out its religious obligations for the remainder of its jurisdiction. AS AND FOR A SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION: THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE DEED RESTRICTION CAN NO LONGER BE MET 14.Plaintiff repeats, reiterates and realleges each and every allegation number "11" through "13" as if fully set forth herein and further alleges: 15.Plaintiff cannot continue the purpose for which the deed restriction was created, that is the use and occupancy as a Protestant Presbyterian Church. At the time that the last religious services were held at the Carlisle Presbyterian Church on July 29, 2018, the Church membership stood at approximately twentyeight (28), which is not a viable number to sustain the religious, financial and maintenance needs of this church. 16.No interest has been shown by any other group to establish a new denominational church of Plaintiff on the premises of the former Carlisle Presbyterian Church. AS AND FOR A THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION: DEFENDANTS WILL SUFFER NO SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE BY EXTINGUISHMENT OF THE DEED RESTRICTIONS AND SHOULD NOT BE AWARDED ANY DAMAGES OR ANY RESTITUTION OF THE LAND OR ITS VALUE 17.Plaintiff repeats, reiterates and realleges each and every allegation number "14" through "16" as if fully set forth herein and further alleges:

18.The property is situated on a steep slope with limited access via a side road (Crommie Road), but with no direct access from the highway (State Route 20). The church is reported to be expensive to heat. As the surrounding land is primarily farm land with limited potential for commercial development, the marketability of the property is constrained. Development would necessitate demolition of the church and vacant school, the costs of which would likely exceed market value. Residential or commercial development would preclude the current tax exempt status. 19.Defendants should not be entitled to a windfall through this ancient deed restriction that would further impede the plaintiff's ability to carry out its religious purposes. AS AND FOR A FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION: THE GRANTORS' INTENT WAS TO PROMOTE CHARITABLE AND RELIGIOUS PURPOSES AND NOT TO RESTRICT THE USE OF THE LAND 20.Plaintiff repeats, reiterates and realleges each and every allegation number "17" through "19" as if fully set forth herein and further alleges: 21.The grantors' intent is clearly provided for in the deed: "to promote the interest of the congregation and the promulgation of the Gospel as the same is prosesed (sic) by both the Presbyterian and Dutch Churches in America." 22.The express charitable and religious purposes of the grantors

manifest a deed restriction intended to ensure that the substantial value of the land be devoted to religious purposes by the church, as the party of the second part, rather than to restrict the use of the land. The Attorney General of the State of New York is named as a party to this action as required by RPAPL §1955. No prior application to any court or judge has been made for the relief requested herein. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the deed restrictions on the use of the land held for religious purposes by Plaintiff be extinguished, that no award for any damages or any restitution of the land or its value be made to defendants, and for such other and further relief that to the Court seems just and proper.

(first full week of school, first home game, first time playing under the lights), but I think we’re handling it well.” Voorheesville dropped a 35-0 decision to Stillwater in its opener, but Call is not taking the Blackbirds lightly. “Voorheesville is well coached and it will be a more physical game,” “They played a really good Stillwater team last week so that score isn’t indicative of their team. They’re good in all three phases of the game and very disciplined. We’re excited for our home opener on Friday!” Schalmont (0-1) at Hudson (0-1) A young, inexperienced Hudson team dropped its opener to Class B newcomer Holy Trinity this past Saturday, but coach John Davi feels the Bluehawks are capable of bouncing back against a solid Schalmont squad. “I think we made some mental errors that cost us some big plays last week,” Davi said. “That was the first actual game for some of our young guys. Caleb Romano and Zyonn Clanton both had a good game offensively for

us. Our line on both sides of the ball will continue to improve with experience.” Clanton rushed for 89 yards on 15 carries and Romano threw for 84 yards, including a five-yard scoring pass to Mike Green. Schalmont also dropped its season opener, falling to Cobleskill-Richmondville, 30-14. The Sabres are without All-Conference quarterback Shane O’Dell, who decided to concentrate on basketball his senior season. “Schalmont is always a solid program,” Davi said. “They look good again this year. They are a run-heavy team with a very physical line. Their offense has not missed a beat, even without Shane. Defensively, they bring a lot of pressure. This is always a big divisional rivalry for us and it should be a great matchup!” Watervliet (0-0) at Coxsackie-Athens (0-1) Coxsackie-Athens is looking to bounce back from a season-opening 22-10 loss to Class C South rival Taconic Hills. The Indians jumped out to an early 8-0 lead, but fell behind 14-10 at halftime and couldn’t score in the second half as a steady rain fell. “Tough fought game,” C-A coach Paddy Bailey said. “Too many mistakes and you can’t predict the weather.

But a lot of good to build on both sides.” Junior quarterback Brandon Wolbert threw the ball 32 times, completing 13 for 115 yards, while rushing for 104 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. Watervliet will be playing its first gmae under new head coach Pete Porcelli, who enjoyed great success at Hoosic Valley and Lansingburgh running a Double Wing offense. “Watervliet brings a unique test, having a bye last week,” Bailey said. “I have no doubts Pete will have that program producing sooner rather than later. We’re hoping we can play our game on our field and just do our jobs to come out with a win.” Catskill/Cairo-Durham (0-1) at Hoosick Falls (0-1) Catskill/Cairo-Durham had a rough outing in week 1, falling to Ichabod Crane, 44-0, and will be looking for redemption on the road tonight against Hoosick Falls. The Mustangs played without several key players and had trouble generating any offense against an aggressive Ichabod Crane defense. Quarterback Eric Ostoyic completed 4 of 15 passes for 29 yards, while Logan Denniston rushed for a teamhigh 38 yards on six carries. Hoosick falls fell to

SATURDAY Chatham (1-0) at Helderberg Valley (0-1), 1:30 p.m. Chatham made quite a statement in its first game as a Class D school this past Friday night, rolling to a 62-7 destruction of Cohoes.

Friend wants to be ready when man asks for help I’m watching the slow-motion destruction of a childhood friend on Facebook. There is substance abuse, infidelity, divorce, the whole lot. It hurts. He recently admitted that he has struggled with depression DEAR ABBY for years, but insists he isn’t interested in seeing a doctor or a counselor. It sounds like he’s been burned in the past. I know I can’t do anything until he asks for help, but I intend to be there when he does. What resources are available for someone who is clinically depressed and selfmedicating?

Support groups for people who are depressed and/or have emotional issues exist. But to join one, the person must admit there is a problem and help is needed. Because your friend is resistant to the idea of professional help, you might suggest a group called Emotions Anonymous. It was started in 1971, and its mission is to help people who are experiencing emotional difficulties. It offers chat, Skype and phone meetings as well as in-person groups. If you would like more information, you can find it at emotionsanonymous.org. I have been dating this woman for a few years. We aren’t in a committed relationship, but she wants me exclusively to herself. She’s a very jealous type, and a comment she made took me over the edge. She told me that my late wife’s picture should only be displayed in my children’s room, and that I’m still holding onto her, which is preventing me from moving forward with any woman. I will never remove any pictures of my children’s mother out of respect not only for my departed loved one but for my children as well. What do

you think of this? Respectful In Texas If you keep a photo of your late wife next to your bed, I can see how it might bother someone you have been dating for a few years — particularly if you haven’t made a commitment to her. That said, if displaying a picture of your wife in a public room of your home is so threatening to this woman that she would make the kind of scene you describe, it may be time to replace her with someone who is less easily threatened. I have been happily married (for the most part) to my husband of 40 years. He is a good husband, provider and father. Only one thing about him really bothers me. When he is telling someone a story, he frequently “embellishes” it and changes it to something that’s not actually the truth. What he says doesn’t really matter or hurt anyone, but it still bothers me. It makes me wonder if what he is telling me about something is the correct version or “his” version. Like I said, it is never anything of importance, so I don’t understand why he even does it. I have asked him about it, and he doesn’t really explain. Do you have any idea what would make a person do this? Wife In Wonderland

Helicobacter pylori is an important cause of chronic gastritis (stomach inflammation), the most important cause of stomach ulcers, and is an important factor in stomach cancer and intestinal lymphoma. Between 50% and 66% of the population of the world is affected. The older a person is, the more likely he or she is to have

Some people “embellish” to impress or to make themselves look more important, or because they think it will make the story more entertaining or exciting. Not knowing your husband, I can’t answer for him. It might help to reassure him that you love him just the way he is, and the truth is always better than fiction.

Most cases of H. pylori infection stem from unknown causes Could you give some additional information about H. pylori infection? I was diagnosed with it recently, via biopsies taken during an endoscopic procedure. I was given instructions on antibiotics to be taken, which I followed through on. When talking to my doctor’s physician assistant, I asked what could have caused the infecTO YOUR tion, to try to prevent it from reGOOD HEALTH curring. I was given a very cursory response, including that it could have come from eating at “Mom and Pop” restaurants. From research I did after that, it seems that it can be present for a long period of time without being noticed, and many times the cause is unsure. After I finished the antibiotics, I was told to have a follow-up test to make sure they were effective. I was given a choice of a stool test or a breathing test; I chose the breathing test. I was surprised at how easy it was. Are those tests also used to initially detect an infection, without a biopsy?

infection: in the U.S., it’s about 10% in those between 18 and 30 years old, but 50% in those over 60. This likely represents an improvement in hygiene, as most infections are acquired in childhood and persist throughout life. It is thought that most infection occurs person-to-person, possibly through water or from poor handwashing before food preparation. H. pylori is much Hagar the Horrible more common in developing nations. In the U.S., infection is more common in people of lower socioeconomic status. Not everyone with H. pylori has symptoms or needs treatment. People with ulcers or gastritis are generally treated with several antibiotics for 10-14 days along with antacid medicine. The diagnosis can be made by biopsy, as yours was, or by the stool or breath test. The breath test is at least 95% specific (if the test is positive, it’s very likely to be a true positive) but 90% sensitive, meaning one person in 10 with Zits the bacteria will have a false negative test. The stool test is close to 95% sensitive and specific. Blood testing is more likely to have false positive and false negative results. In addition to making the diagnosis, the stool or breath test is recommended to confirm eradication of the infection.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you have been endowed with such a vivid imagination that there is virtually nothing you cannot envision and then, given the opportunity, enough time and ample resources, turn that vision into reality. You have a knack for making people believe that what you have to offer is what they really need — and indeed, you will make it so! Ultimately, it is likely that your contributions to the lives of others, direct and indirect, will be considered essential and necessary rather than frivolous luxuries — and they will bring you tremendous personal rewards. You are a born teacher, and you not only know how to educate but how to learn from those around you as well — and that, of course, is the secret to truly great teaching! You use words and imagery to instruct, and you are never bound by that which has been taught before. Also born on this date are: Roald Dahl, author; Milton S. Hershey, entrepreneur; Ben Savage, actor; Fiona Apple, singer; Stella McCartney, designer; Michael Johnson, Olympic athlete; Jacqueline Bisset, actress; Nell Carter, actress and singer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You may be reconsidering a plan that others had thought was completed and ready to go. It’s not the plan so much as your own indecision. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may find that you’re being held back by someone’s rather limited imagination. It may be time for you to take charge today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you don’t like what’s going on around you, you must do something to make a difference. Don’t take it lying down! You can defend others as well.
