CATSKILL — Veterans in Greene County will soon have a place to gather with their peers in a supportive environment with the Greene County Legislature set to approve $92,500 in state funding for

the Hudson Valley National Center for Veteran Reintegration to provide peer-to-peer services for vets. The funding will help veterans suffering from PTSD receive counseling. The Kingston-based Hudson Valley Center for Veteran Reintegration will expand its

offering to Greene County as part of the PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Veteran Support Program. “The program started 10 years ago, piloted in four counties,” said Gavin Walters, director of Peer to Peer at the Hudson Valley Center for Veteran Reintegration. “Joseph P. Dwyer unfortunately died

from an accidental overdose. He was a combat medic, and like many veterans who experienced combat, that doesn’t leave us when we leave the military. “It follows up throughout our lives. He became an See PTSD A8

Electrical fire heavily damages Purling home By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

PURLING — A Greene County family is homeless after fire broke out Sunday afternoon at their house in Purling, Round Top Fire Chief Eric Kuever said. The family is being assisted by the American Red Cross, Kuever said. At about 4:19 p.m., Greene County 911 sent Round Top Fire Company to 199 Woodland Drive after the homeowner called and reported

their house was on fire. When the first firefighters arrived on the scene, they saw flames and smoke coming from the two-story home and confirmed a working fire at that location. Fire officials then requested mutual-aid assistance from Cairo Fire Company. The fire originated in a utility room at the rear of the home and spread into the ceiling and walls and into the kitchen, See FIRE A8

Durham woman charged with contempt, bail jumping By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

CAIRO — A woman was taken to the Greene County Jail on multiple charges following her arrest last week in connection with an incident that occurred in Cairo in January, said Steven Nevel, public information officer for state police Troop F. Jessie L. Angel, 31, of Durham was arrested on a warrant Friday, Nevel said. Angel had failed to appear for two scheduled court dates on March 1 and March 29, according to the bench warrant issued by Cairo Town Court, Nevel said. The initial charge that Angel was to appear in court to answer to was first-degree criminal contempt, a class E felony. The charge stemmed from a domestic incident in Cairo on Jan. 7, where Angel allegedly

violated an order of protection, Nevel said. On Friday, Angel was seen by state police walking in Durham. As Angel was being taken into custody, she attempted to flee from police. Angel was quickly apprehended and placed under arrest without further incident, Nevel said. Angel was charged with third-degree bail jumping and second-degree obstruction of governmental administration, both class A misdemeanors, Nevel said. Angel was then arraigned in Cairo Town Court and held in the Greene County Jail on $1,500 bail. She is scheduled to appear in court again Tuesday. Angel is also awaiting court action following her arrest Dec. 30 in Durham where she See CHARGED A8

after the Twitter CEO’s revelation, a smiling face with a hand over its mouth. The tweet was deleted hours later without explanation. Musk and Twitter executives had been expected to host a town-hall for employees this week, though it’s uncertain if that will proceed. Representatives for Musk and Twitter declined to comment. Musk’s tweets have enthralled the social media sphere since the revelation of his stake. Twitter announced shortly after that the entrepreneur would be joining its board, spurring widespread debate. Several marketwatchers tweeted that Musk may be staying off the board to avoid potential conflicts of

John Lennon’s 1971 hit “Imagine” is often recalled in times of war or conflict, with its lyrics calling for unity and peace. But it was the war in Ukraine that finally provoked Lennon’s son Julian to sing the tune for the first time. Julian Lennon wrote in a note on YouTube that he had for years resisted singing the Vietnam War-era song. “The only time I would ever consider singing ‘Imagine’ would be if it was the ‘End of the World,’” he said. But the war in Ukraine is “an unimaginable tragedy,” he wrote, and “as a human, and as an artist, I felt compelled to

respond in the most significant way I could.” His cover was in support of the #StandUpForUkraine fundraising effort, which was organized by the nonprofit Global Citizen. An event in Warsaw on Saturday in support of the fundraiser raised $10 billion in pledges for Ukrainian refugees - of which there are more than 4.5 million, according to recent U.N. figures - with nearly half coming in the form of donations from governments, companies and individuals. The other portion came as grants and loans from public European financial institutions. Julian Lennon, whose career as a musician began in 1984

with the release of his album “Valotte,” wrote that he chose the song in part because its lyrics “reflect our collective desire for peace worldwide. Because within this song, we’re transported to a space, where love and togetherness become our reality, if but for a moment in time.” Among the song’s lyrics is the passage: “Imagine all the people/ Sharing all the world/ You/ You may say I’m a dreamer.” Lennon wrote that the song “reflects the light at the end of the tunnel, that we are all hoping for.” As war rages in Ukraine, Yoko Ono, John Lennon’s widow, who was credited with helping

to create “Imagine,” deployed a billboard campaign across major cities including New York, London and Seoul with the message: “Imagine Peace.” It wasn’t clear why Julian Lennon, whose real name is John - he told the Guardian that he took the name Julian after the singular name caused confusion in his household - had vowed not to sing “Imagine.” He grew estranged from his father after the Beatles member left Julian and Cynthia Lennon - Julian’s mother and John’s wife at the time - for Ono, who is linked to the song. The Washington Post’s Claire Parker contributed to this report.

If he doesn’t join the board, Musk would not be subject to an agreement to keep his stake at no more than 14.9%. The billionaire behind Tesla and SpaceX has been vocal about changes he’d consider at the social media platform. Musk wasted no time in appealing to users about prospective moves from turning Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters into a homeless shelter and adding an edit button for tweets, to granting automatic verification marks to premium users. Those open musings drew in even Amazon founder and spacefaring rival Jeff Bezos, among other high-profile personalities. Musk posted a single emoji

Twitter’s shares slid after Elon Musk decided not to join its board, a stunning twist to a week-long saga that has captivated the tech community and touched off renewed speculation about the company’s future. Musk held “many discussions” with Twitter’s directors but the entrepreneur ultimately declined their offer of a board seat, CEO Parag Agrawal tweeted. According to the CEO, Musk informed Twitter of his decision April 9, the same day he was slated to formally join the board. Twitter shares fell about 2.9% in pre-market trading on Monday in New York. The drop erases part of a week of gains after Musk revealed he had taken a stake, with investors seeming to welcome his investment. “I believe this is for the best,” the Twitter CEO said in an internal memo shared late Sunday. “There will be distractions ahead, but our goals and priorities remain unchanged.” The abrupt reversal ignites renewed speculation about Musk’s intentions for Twitter since disclosing he had taken a stake of just over 9% -- becoming the social media giant’s largest individual shareholder.

interest in future -- were he to consider increasing his stake in Twitter or acquiring it outright. Musk, CEO of automaker Tesla, is the world’s richest man, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. He’s also one of the biggest personalities on Twitter and has regularly stirred controversy on the platform. The billionaire could face scrutiny from U.S. regulators by disclosing his massive stake days later than regulations allow, and because he revealed it in a filing typically reserved for passive investments. Ascending to Twitter’s board so swiftly after the disclosure could have complicated that process. Musk is already seeking to exit a 2018 deal with the SEC that put controls in place related to his previous tweeting about Tesla. Citing internal company messages, the Washington Post reported that some workers in recent days have expressed concern on Twitter’s employee Slack channels that Musk could inflict damage to the company’s culture, as well as make it harder for people to do their jobs. “Let’s tune out the noise, and stay focused on the work and what we’re building,” Agrawal said in his Sunday memo to employees.

President Joe Biden will announce Monday that he is nominating Steve Dettelbach to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, part of a litany of law-enforcement-related actions by the administration as Democrats try to convince voters that they are the party that can keep America safe. A senior administration official told reporters that the White House hoped Dettelbach, the former U.S. attorney from Ohio, would be a “noncontroversial appointment,” after the administration failed to get a previous nominee through the Senate. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the administration. In September, the White House withdrew the name of David Chipman to lead the agency amid bipartisan pushback over his gun-control advocacy. Chipman had worked at ATF for more than two decades before joining a gun-control

group led by former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, DAriz. Monday’s crime-reductionrelated actions - including an effort to crack down on gun kits sold without a serial number, known as ghost guns - are an acknowledgment of the increased role crime fears could play in upcoming midterm elections. Republicans have already sought to brand Democrats as the party of the “defund the police” movement and asserted that their approach to law enforcement contributed to crime upticks in 2021. In recent weeks, Biden and the Democrats have sought to counter that narrative. During his State of the Union address, Biden emphasized: “The answer is not to defund the police. It’s to fund the police. Fund them. Fund them.” Still, activists have pushed back, saying Democrats - and the federal government as a whole - have failed to act on the energy that prompted millions to protest police brutality and

systemic racism. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act never made it out of the Senate. And a bipartisan effort to forge a police reform bill likewise fizzled. Biden has said his crime reduction efforts - taking guns off streets, funding communitybased crime mitigation efforts and giving municipalities money for more training for officers - have wide support and a good chance of success. The ghost gun rule change plays into that strategy. The guns, purchased from kits and assembled at home, sometimes in as little as 30 minutes, don’t require serial numbers, sidestepping efforts to vet their purchasers or track the firearms

Catskill celebrates birthday of heroic student By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — A Catskill High School student received a hero’s welcome on her 18th birthday party Saturday as the community came together to honor a courageous teenager undergoing cancer treatments. High school senior Nahviya Chapple enjoyed a night to remember on April 9 as she received a motorcade escort to her party at the Elks Lodge in Catskill, with cars from the Greene County Sheriff’s Department, New York State Police, Catskill police and fire departments, Kiskatom Fire Department and Town of Catskill Ambulance, clearing the way for the local teen to arrive at her party. As Town of Cairo DARE Officer Tom Plank drove Chapple to the Elks Club in a classic car with the top down, the birthday girl received a presidential motorcade-worthy entrance, as the first responders flashed their lights and honked their horns as they accompanied Chapple to the gathering. “The night she was supposed to have her prom in October was the night that she was put on a ventilator,” Catskill High School teacher Wendy Casalino said of Chapple. “So she wore the gown on Saturday that she was going to wear to prom.” While Chapple is unable to attend in-person classes at

Catskill High School, Casalino is tutoring her so that Chapple can graduate with her classmates at the graduation ceremony on June 24. Food for the event was provided by Catskill teachers, while Mili’s Treats bakery in Catskill

gave the party organizers a discount on birthday cupcakes. The Elks Club let the family use the club for free for the party, with high school students and teacher Patrick Hernandez handling the DJ duties during the birthday bash.

Catskill High School student Nahviya Chapple, with Cairo Dare Officer Tom Plank, received a police motorcade escort to her 18th birthday party.

“It was like a big group effort,” Casalino said. About 40 people attended the party, which provided Chapple relief from months of grueling chemotherapy treatments.

“It was great to see her dancing with her friends,” Casalino said. The high school student is hoping to receive good health news in advance of her high school graduation. “She received her last treatment a couple of weeks ago and she’s actually at the hospital right now (Monday afternoon) getting scans to see if she’s clear,” Casalino said. In January, the Catskill community raised funds to purchase a new cell phone for Chapple after her phone went missing Dec. 30 while she received a round of chemotherapy at Albany Medical Center. After the Chapple family could not get the hospital to replace the device, money was collected at a Catskill High School basketball game to buy the teenager a new phone.

DMV reminds motorcyclists to renew registrations by April 30 ALBANY — The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is reminding motorcycle owners to renew their registrations before they expire April 30. Motorcycles are registered for one year and all motorcycle registrations expire on April 30. Renewals can be done quickly and easily online. “Many motorcyclists look forward to the spring season as they plan the road trips they want to make,” said DMV Commissioner Mark J. F. Schroeder. “There are so many great destinations in New York State, so we urge motorcyclists to get their registrations renewed by April 30. We are committed to making the process as simple and fast as possible. We wish you a happy and safe riding season.” Motorcycles must be inspected at least once every 12 months at a station DMV has licensed to perform motorcycle safety inspections. Customers should look for a yellow and black sign reading “Official NYS Motorcycle Inspection Station.” You can find a registered business on the DMV website. You cannot renew a registration that is suspended or revoked; is expired for more than a year; or if the motorcycle has not been inspected in the past 12 months. If the registration is expired for more than a year, you will have to reregister it at a DMV office or by mail. To be operated on public

roadways, motorcycles must have liability coverage. This applies to motorcycles registered out-of-state as well as to those registered in New York. Drivers are reminded that they are likely to see an increase in motorcyclists sharing the road. Drivers should watch for and give motorcyclists’ room, just as they should be increasingly aware of bicyclists and pedestrians who are more commonly out in the warmer months.

SAFETY TIPS FOR DRIVERS: Watch for motorcycles. Be aware of motorcycles sharing our roadways during all seasons, but particularly during the spring and summer months when riding is most popular. Yield to motorcycles — don’t make a rash decision and turn quickly in front of an on-coming motorcycle as it may be traveling faster than it appears! Look Twice and Save a Life! Check your mirrors and blind spots for motorcycles before changing lanes. Also, when negotiating busy intersections, look twice for motorcycles before proceeding safely! They have a smaller frontal area and may be hard to see. Be a responsible driver. Ensure your vehicle is in safe operating condition and that all of your safety equipment is properly adjusted. Observe and obey all traffic laws, signs, and signals. Stay focused on the road and your surroundings. Never drive

distracted. Don’t let cell phones and other activities distract you from your core mission — driving safely! Drive sober. Never drive impaired by alcohol or drugs and discourage others from doing so. Impaired driving is an indiscriminate killer with no demographic barriers!

SAFETY TIPS FOR MOTORCYCLISTS: Protect your melon! Always wear a DOT-approved helmet and eye protection. “Novelty Helmets” are not approved and offer little protection to the rider in a crash. In fact, they are illegal to wear on New York roadways. Always wear high quality riding gear designed to protect the rider during a fall. This includes over-the-ankle boots, full finger gloves with padding in addition to jackets and pants with armor protection at impact points. Be conspicuous. Wear high visibility vests, garments with reflector features and accessories to boost your visibility to other drivers. Maintain your motorcycle properly. Ensure all your lights and horn are working and both mirrors are adjusted. Make sure your tires are properly inflated and have legal tread depth. Remember, motorcycles maintain a smaller tire contact patch on the roadway when compared to other vehicles. Good traction is a key component to safe handling and braking in normal and adverse situations. Maintain a high level of

awareness. Scan the roadway constantly for dangers and ride alert. If you are tired, take a break and re-energize to boost your concentration. Drive sober. Never ride impaired by alcohol or drugs and discourage other riders from making a bad choice. Turn left with caution. Most crashes between cars and motorcycles involve turning left. If you are preparing to cross traffic or turn left, take a second look to make sure it is safe to proceed. SLOW DOWN. Speed is the number one cause of traffic crashes. Slow down, take your time and maintain control of the motorcycle. Allow adequate space between you and the vehicle in front of you. Use the “two second” rule as a safety zone.

Observe and obey all traffic laws, signs, and signals. Let other motorists know your intentions. Signal when you turn with your directional lights or hand signals. Also, flashing your brake light periodically before you stop will alert drivers behind you to be cautious.

OUR VIEW

Democracy requires engagement If anything is a sure thing in local government, just get people talking about public access to open meetings or dealings done in secret. The Chatham Town Board last Thursday narrowly approved a local law to allow the supervisor and council members to meet virtually from outside Chatham town limits. The board voted 3-2 to pass the measure after a public hearing to air comments on the proposal. The trouble is, no boundaries were established for the distances these distance meetings could be held. Under the new law, which takes effect when it is filed with the New York State Secretary of State, the town board and its committees will be allowed to participate in meetings through

video conferences from locations outside Chatham town boundary lines. The contentious part is how far outside the town board can reasonably go. Chatham Town Supervisor Donal Collins, reading the proposed law at Thursday’s pre-meeting public hearing, said video conferencing has proven to be an effective tool because it allows officials to gather despite issues of inclement weather, illness or travel plans. This is worthy for conducting town business when conditions make assembly impossible, but it doesn’t offer assurances of transparency and open government that citizens deserve. It’s concerning because there are no time limita-

tions. It also raises the specter of losing the direct human contact afforded by in-person meetings but missing from virtual sessions. “It seems to me the movement to stay within the virtual meeting environment is not a healthy one, for the board or for the town,” resident Tom Ehrich said. “In my opinion, democracy requires engagement. It requires people seeing each other, talking to each other, sharing ideas, forming friendships. If that’s possible, but doing more than being figures on a screen.” Maybe that — and the possibility of losing transparency — should prompt the Chatham Town Board to think this law through more carefully.

ANOTHER VIEW

Congress passed the Affordable Care Act more than a decade ago, but reflexive GOP opposition to the law - with Republicans demanding repeal or nothing - prevented lawmakers from clarifying its sometimes confusing language and mitigating its unintended consequences. President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that his administration was finally moving to patch up one of Obamacare’s most glaring problems, potentially helping millions. The Biden administration is proposing a rule that would fix the so-called family glitch, an obscure issue of wording buried deep in the law’s text that prevents a shockingly large number of people from getting cheaper health premiums. The law provides people government subsidies for health insurance plans, but only if their employers do not offer them affordable health coverage. The law deems an employer-sponsored plan unaffordable if premiums would top about 10% of an employee’s household income. So, if workers would have to pay sky-high premiums for their employer-sponsored plan, they could always seek coverage on the Obamacare marketplaces and receive assistance from government subsidies. The problem comes when workers try to add spouses or children to their employer health plans. Doing so could raise employees’ premiums substantially. But a 2012 Internal Revenue Service interpretation of the law says that does not matter; as long as the cost of covering a worker, and only the worker, on an employer-sponsored plan remains south of 10% of that worker’s household income, the employee is ineligible for government help. This is not the only plausible reading of

the law’s words, and it is an absurd one in the context of the law’s broader purposes. Nevertheless, the Kaiser Family Foundation reckons that the family glitch affects some 5 million people. More than 4 million of them have accepted employer-sponsored coverage, meaning they are paying a huge share of their incomes - an average of about 16% - on premiums, even though Congress designed Obamacare to help people in their situation. Others simply go without coverage. The Biden administration is finally proposing to interpret the law more sensibly, providing subsidies to families who would have to pay more than 10 percent of their incomes to cover every member on an employer-sponsored plan. Doing so will cost money - about $45 billion over 10 years. But that is relatively small in the context of national health-care reform, and for the good it will do the families it will help. Moreover, those caught in the family glitch skew younger and healthier than those currently buying plans in the Obamacare marketplaces. If they buy subsidized plans, the stability of the marketplaces’ risk pools will improve, which could lower premiums for all those on Obamacare plans. But there is only so much Biden can do on his own. Democrats in Congress are considering long-term Obamacare fixes that would restrain marketplace premium costs and ease the still-high burdens some families face paying for health insurance. This should be a priority between now and the August recess. Obamacare fulfilled its primary goal, cutting substantially the proportion of Americans lacking health-care coverage. It is now an indispensable part of the health-care system. Congress has a responsibility to ensure it does maximum good.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘Bernard always had a few prayers in the hall and some whiskey afterwards as he was rather pious.’ DAISY ASHFORD

The Supreme Court is broken. So is the system that confirms its justices. WASHINGTON — The confirmation process for Supreme Court nominees is broken, and so, I fear, is the Supreme Court itself. These developments, mutually reinforcing, were both on sad display this week. Not long ago, whether to confirm a Supreme Court nominee was not a predictably party-line affair, with a handful or fewer of defectors. In 2005, Chief Justice John Roberts was confirmed with 78 votes, and Democratic senators split equally on the nomination, 22 in favor and 22 against. That lopsided tally — earlier confirmations were, for the most part, more lopsided — is now a quaint artifact of a less-polarized era. The Senate finds itself now on the verge of a dangerous new reality, in which a Senate controlled by the party opposing the president may simply refuse to confirm a nominee, period. A tradition of deference to presidential prerogatives — of believing that elections have consequences, as Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., liked to say in one of his earlier incarnations — is over. If the Senate majority is big and unified enough, it will defy the president. Just wait and see. Republican senators were willing to caricature Ketanji Brown Jackson’s record in search of any excuse to vote against her — even though her addition to the court won’t affect its ideological balance. Imagine what would happen if a Republican appointee were to leave the court during a Democratic presidency? Actually, no imagination needed. Consider what the Senate did — or didn’t do — when Merrick Garland was nominated in 2016 to replace the late Antonin Scalia. We could endlessly debate how things degenerated to this point: Republicans point to the Bork hearings, the Thomas hearings, the Gorsuch filibuster and the Kavanaugh hearings; Democrats bemoan the Garland blockade and the hurried Barrett confirmation. Neither side has clean hands. The result is a fiercely partisan process that demeans the Senate and politicizes the

RUTH

MARCUS court, rendering it a creature of political will and power. At this stage, there is no incentive for either party to back down from this maximalism. Time was (starting with Bork) the Senate debated whether a nominee was in or outside the judicial mainstream. That assessment was in the eye of the beholder, of course, but at least it was a nod at deliberation. That is so 1987. Judicial philosophy is now aligned with political party as never before in the court’s history. So it is no surprise to witness the same phenomenon — the raw exercise of power overtaking normal processes — unfolding on the court itself. Norms are shredded in both branches. One vivid manifestation involves the conservative majority’s use of the emergency docket — what’s called, in more sinister-sounding terms, the shadow docket. The court’s work is supposed to be conducted after full written briefing, oral argument and justified by written opinions. It has rules, or is supposed to, about when to intervene to referee disputes before they get to that stage, and, of course, that needs to happen sometimes. But increasingly, the court is using its emergency powers to step into disputes on the side that the majority favors — outside of the normal procedures and without written explanation. Why? Because it can. Thus, the week of Jackson’s confirmation saw five conservative justices — over the dissent of three liberals and the chief justice — intervening in a case still pending before a federal appeals court. Five conservative justices voted to reinstate a Trumpera clean water rule that

restricted states’ ability to block potentially polluting projects. The three remaining liberal justices — joined, notably, by Chief Justice Roberts — dissented, complaining that the court was misusing its emergency powers by reviving the rule without the proof that was necessary to avoid “irreparable harm,” as the court’s precedents require. “That renders the Court’s emergency docket not for emergencies at all,” wrote Justice Elena Kagan. This may sound mild, but process matters at the Supreme Court, and while Roberts had voted with the liberals before in such cases, this was the first time he had joined a dissent criticizing the misuse of the shadow docket. Maybe the district court judge in the case made a mistake by going further than the Biden administration had asked in vacating the Trumpera regulation, not simply returning the matter to the Environmental Protection Agency while it worked on a new version of the rule. That’s not the point. The point is that courts have rules about when to grant emergency relief — and the test isn’t just whether the lower court got it wrong. An appeals court is reviewing the district judge’s decision, and, applying those rules, declined to stop it from taking effect. As Kagan explained in her dissent, “This Court may stay a decision under review in a court of appeals ‘only in extraordinary circumstances’ and ‘upon the weightiest considerations.’ “ No emergency justified the Supreme Court interfering here. It just had the votes to act anyway. When norms give way to partisanship and ideology, when applying impartial rules yields to obtaining results by any means, institutional legitimacy erodes. The immediate gain is understandably tempting. The institutional damage may not be immediately evident, but it is as undeniable as it will be difficult to repair.

Questar III honored by Utica National Insurance Group CASTLETON — The Utica National Insurance Group recently awarded Questar III BOCES its titanium level School Safety Excellence Award for 2022, marking the 14th consecutive year the BOCES has received the honor, which is presented annually and recognizes safety efforts as BOCES and school districts work to help keep students, staff, and visitors safe. The Utica, N.Y. based insurance agency presented the award to Questar III’s Director of Health & Safety Craig Hansen at its 40th School Safety Seminar, one of seven such seminars the company hosts in the state. “This award reflects the collective efforts of Questar III and its staff. Thank you to our staff for their continuing efforts to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for our students, staff, and

visitors,” said Hansen. Utica National’s School Safety Excellence Award Program has three levels: titanium, platinum, and gold, in which schools can earn a meritorious distinction by meeting specific criteria to enhance overall safety. Through the program, schools with their own transportation, schools with contract transportation, and BOCES are evaluated. Categories covered include bullying prevention programs, playground safety, and other areas. “Safety and health concerns continue to be a priority in our school districts,” explained Brian Saville, senior vice president in Utica National’s Educational Institutions Unit. “Districts that go ‘above and beyond’ to provide a safe, healthy, and focused culture for learning are to be applauded, and we’re pleased

to count the Questar III BOCES among them.” Questar III’s Health & Safety Service continues to lead and support safety efforts for the BOCES and school districts across New York State.

The Health & Safety Service also provides on-site consultation, emergency notification communication and AED/CPR/First Aid training.

Columbia Memorial Health pediatricians join ‘Prescription for Play’ national movement designed to improve children’s health HUDSON — Pediatricians at Columbia Memorial Health (CMH) pediatric practices located in Hudson, Catskill and Valatie have joined the “Prescription for Play” initiative designed to promote the positive impact of play on the physical and psychological wellness of children. The national program is sponsored by toymaker LEGO, which is providing free block sets and associated materials. CMH Pediatrician Dr. Maria Covington said, “There is a great deal of value in

playtime that’s healthy not only for the child but also for the caregiver adult who spends time playing with the child. We’ve joined this national initiative to shine a light on the critical importance of attending to the wellness needs of children, which begins with regular well-child visits to their pediatrician.” The importance of play for supporting the healthy cognitive, physical, social, creative and emotional development of children is well established. In particular, for children living

in poverty and experiencing forms of traumatic stress, play may offer even more significant lifelong benefits. Research also shows that interventions that educate caregivers on the importance of play for healthy development have shown promise in increasing the likelihood that caregivers will engage in play with their child. To schedule a well-child visit or for other pediatric care needs, call CMH Pediatrics at 518-828-4125, Hudson; 518-943-2557, Catskill; or 518-392-2277, Valatie.

Michael David Haywood April 5, 1974 - April 8, 2022 Michael David Haywood, 48, of Stockport, New York, passed unexpectedly on Friday, April 8, 2022 in Hudson, New York after fighting an intense and courageous battle with the far too often undiagnosed heart disease, Cardiac Amyloidosis. Michael was born in Hudson, New York to Lesley and Mary Jane Haywood on April 5, 1974. He attended both Hudson High School and Ichabod Crane Central School, graduating from Ichabod Crane in 1992. After graduation he enlisted in the United States Air Force and received an honorable discharge after serving in support of Desert Shield/Storm. Following his military service, he returned to the Stockport area and attended Columbia-Greene Community College where he earned an Associate in Science Degree. He applied to and passed the state corrections exam and was sworn in as a New York State Corrections Officer in 1999. He served as a corrections officer at various facilities and was last assigned to the Coxsackie Correctional Facility in Greene County. Michael truly enjoyed the simple things in life. He liked going on long walks, attending movie premieres, and trying out new restaurants with his loving wife, Janet Haywood. Michael was a great storyteller and was known for his captivating speaking voice and infectious laughter. He was an avid sports enthusiast and often watched football and basketball games with his friends and family. However, his favorite sports event was watching his daughter, Ashley Haywood, play High School, Travel League, and collegiate basketball at Wilkes University. During her High School and Travel League games he would often be found in the front row cheering for her and her team and when his enthusiasm really got the better of him, he even pulled her and her teammates aside to offer advice and help for improving their game. Michael’s other passion was his faith in God. He was a devout catholic and attended mass often. He was a member of numerous area churches over the years and most recently worshiped at The National Shrine of the Devine Mercy in Stockbridge Massachusetts. It was his deep faith and relationship with God that drove him to accomplish so much and to ultimately battle so hard against his disease. Michael is survived by his wife, Janet (Payero) Haywood, daughter Ashley Haywood, father Lesley Haywood, mother Mary Jane (Hodowansky) Haywood, brother Mark Haywood, God Mother Carol Hodowansky of North Carolina and his cousin Todd Crego. He was preceded in death by his uncle, Michael Hodowansky of North Carolina. He also leaves behind beloved in-laws, nieces, nephews, and other extended family.

Buffalo officers can return to duty after pushing 75-year-old protester Julian Mark The Washington Post On June 4, 2020, two Buffalo police officers pushed a 75-year-old human rights demonstrator, causing him to fall backward, hit his head on the sidewalk, and lie motionless while bleeding from his head. Graphic video of the incident circulated widely, and the two officers were suspended from the department. Now, the officers - Robert McCabe and Aaron Torgalski - will be allowed to start working again, after an arbitrator concluded the two used “absolutely legitimate” force and did not violate department policies. Arbitrator Jeffrey M. Selchick wrote in a 41-page ruling issued Friday that McCabe and Torgalski were carrying out their duties and did not intend to cause Martin Gugino to fall to the ground. “While Gugino might well have believed that he was engaged in some type of civil disobedience or, perhaps, acting out a role in some type of political theater, Gugino was definitely not an innocent bystander,” Selchick wrote, noting the protester was in the square past an 8 p.m. curfew and did not comply with the officers’ orders to move back. The video of the officers shoving Gugino was one of many instances of law enforcement personnel using riot tactics to forcefully move protesters in June 2020 as people nationwide took the streets to protest police brutality. Gugino suffered a concussion and fractured skull, and remained hospital for nearly a month before being released, according to a civil rights lawsuit filed against the officers. Within a day of the incident, McCabe and Torgalski

were suspended, prompting 57 members of Buffalo Police Department to resign from a special squad in protest. Two days later, McCabe and Torgalski were charged with assault. In February 2021, a grand jury dismissed the charges. And on Friday, Selchick ruled the officers’ actions did not violate the Buffalo Police Department’s policies. The department, which sidelined McCabe and Torgalski following the incident, will reinstate the officers, the Buffalo News reported. The department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Washington Post early Monday. Melissa D. Wischerath, Gugino’s lawyer, told The Post she wasn’t surprised by the arbitrator’s ruling. “We are not aware of any case where this arbitrator has ruled against on-duty police officers so his ruling here on behalf of the police was not only expected by us, but was certainly expected by the union and city who selected and paid him,” she said. “His decision has absolutely no bearing on the pending lawsuit.” Gugino filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the officers and the City of Buffalo in February 2021, alleging the officers used excessive force, among other claims. Thomas H. Burton, attorney for the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association, which represented the officers in the disciplinary proceedings, told the Buffalo News that the ruling was “the right decision” and an “across-the-board victory for Buffalo Police officers.” “This has been a long, arduous 22 months for two officers who were castigated by everyone from their governor to their county executive and district attorney,”

Burton said. “I spoke to them both and they are anxious to return to work.” Selchick based his conclusion on several points, writing that McCabe and Torgalski could use force against Gugino because he was an uncooperative “suspect.” Gugino, Selchick wrote, was out in Niagara Square past the 8 p.m. curfew, walked up to the advancing line of police officers and did not comply with their orders to move back. Torgalski testified that Gugino touched his arm and “something wasn’t right,” Selchick wrote. Torgalski also said he was concerned about Gugino exposing him to covid-19, Selchick added. McCabe testified Gugino “should have never been in my personal space, especially being on an [emergency response team] riot squad, you don’t let anyone that close to you,” according to Selchick. He also said he thought Gugino was too close to Torgalski’s firearm. So McCabe gave Gugino “a nudge to get him back,” according to Selchick’s ruling. Torgalski said he extended his arm out toward Gugino “just to push him back, get him away out of our personal space.” A third officer, Sgt. John Losi, testified that he pushed McCabe from behind with “good degree of force” to keep him moving just as McCabe pushed Gugino. But Selchick concluded that the officers did not intend for Gugino to fall back into the sidewalk, adding that McCabe and Torgalski used “a lesser amount of force than allowed.” Rather, Selchick wrote that Gugino “appears to have not been able to keep his balance” - either

because his hands were full or due to Gugino’s “advanced age.” “Gugino may also have been surprised when the Officers used force to push him away because he may have entertained the unfounded belief that the Officers would let him interfere with the performance of their duties,” Selchick wrote.

Bard College’s Levy Economics Institute receives $90,000 to study potential impacts of policies that expand care services in Mexico

New York School attorney presented Lifetime Achievement Award

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON — The Levy Institute has been awarded a $90,000 contract by the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development and the Government of Mexico’s Instituto Nacional de las Mujeres for the first phase of a project examining the potential impact of policies expanding care services in Mexico. Levy Institute scholars Thomas Masterson, Rania Antonopoulos, Luiza NassifPires, Fernando Rios-Avila, and Ajit Zacharias, along with Mónica E. Orozco Corona of Genders AC, will study the gendered impact of providing universal early childhood education in Mexico. Greater access to early childhood education can alleviate household production responsibilities— particularly for women, who do the bulk of unpaid care work. At the same time, investing in the care sector creates

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The National School Boards Association’s (NSBA) Council of School Attorneys (COSA) presented its Lifetime Achievement Award to Jay Worona, a 25-year member of COSA, a former COSA Chair, and the deputy executive director and general counsel for the New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA). “I am truly humbled and honored to receive COSA’s lifetime achievement award,” said Worona. “COSA is an organization that has truly enabled me to fulfill every career expectation that I had for myself. Throughout my time as a COSA member and as Chair, I have developed lifelong professional and personal relationships that have truly benefited every aspect of my life.” “Jay was one of the first attorneys I observed when I started attending COSA events almost 20 years ago,” said Joy Baskin, current COSA Chair and Education Counsel at the Texas Association of School Boards. “He was insightful, wise, funny, and gracious. I immediately knew I wanted to emulate him in my work and service to COSA. Jay has been a role model to countless school attorneys throughout his prestigious career. We are lucky to have him in our association.” NSBA Chief Legal Officer Francisco Negrón added, “Jay Worona is an example of all that is right in the profession of law, and especially

jobs, enhancing employment and earnings while also potentially increasing time spent in paid work. This project aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the impact on well-being of investing in early childhood education in Mexico by creating a framework that keeps track of all these simultaneous outcomes. Taking both time and income effects into consideration enables exploration of the multiple gendered economic outcomes of care services expansion—in terms of both employment creation and earnings generation as well as the changes in the unpaid and paid workload of women versus men and the associated risk of time poverty. “The responsibility for unpaid care work, which falls most heavily on women within households, is a major obstacle to women’s labor force engagement. Relatively

little research has directly examined the linkages between social provisioning of care, the expansion of employment opportunities for women, and growth. Even less attention has been paid to the potential impact of labor force engagement for women’s time use and time poverty,” said Levy Institute Research Scholar and Director of Applied Micromodeling Tom Masterson. Later phases of the project envision including estimates of the extension of school hours for school-age children and provision of universal elder care in Mexico. This work builds on related Levy Institute research conducted for Ghana and Tanzania (supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation) and Turkey (in partnership with the International Labour Organization, United Nations Development Programme, and UN Women).

Jay was an active member of the COSA board before serving as Chair in 2007. Jay has presented on COSA webinars, paid tributes to colleagues at COSA events, and remained available for consult and wisdom. His contributions to COSA are legendary. One of his COSA colleagues and fellow Past Chair, Nancy Krent, said, “No one is more deserving of COSA’s lifetime achievement award than Jay Worona. He has given tirelessly — and graciously — of his time and his talent to COSA and to so many of us. We have learned from him, not just in the many presentations he has given, but also in the example he sets of a thoughtful, generous and deeply committed advocate for public education.”

injuries, Kuever said. Water to fight the fire was pumped from a pond at the Bavarian Manor on county Route 24. Hoses lined county Route 24 and county Route 39 in the area of the blaze. Both roads were closed by fire police. Vehicles were detoured over Vernal Butler Road. Firefighters poured 1,000

Crews then began checking the rest of the home to make sure there were no areas where the fire could break out again. Central Hudson Gas and Electric responded to the fire scene to disconnect power to the home.

Neighbors at homes near the fire scene watched firefighters work from a safe distance. Parts of the home sustained significant damage, Kuever said.

director of the Hudson Valley Center for Veteran Reintegration, said the county has offered the veterans group office space at the Greene County Mental Health Center in Cairo to establish a local presence. “It’s going to be a beautiful place,” Keaveny said. “The county has really embraced the veteran community. I believe it will be three offices with a community room where veterans will be able to come in and engage one another. There’s a garden there. There’s always coffee and access to computers, so if they don’t have the technology themselves they can use what we have. We’re just duplicating the success of the program that we have here in Ulster County, but it will be customized to the veterans in Greene County.” Keaveny said the organization hopes to have the Greene veterans office up and running in a matter of months. “Now that the budget has been approved and

we know that the money is coming through, we’re already working with Veterans Service Agency Director Michelle (Romalin Black) so that by the time it makes its way down to the county, we’ll be ready to rock and roll,” Keaveny said. “I’m going to estimate it’ll be in the next 90 days unless there are any delays.” The Legislature’s resolution stipulates that the contract with the Hudson Valley National Center for Veteran Reintegration will run from April 1 until Dec. 31, 2022, for the Ulster organization to provide peer-to-peer services to Greene County veterans. “We have veterans who have been receiving some therapy,” Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said. “But this would be an ability to expand the effort. It kind of ties in with other things we’re trying to launch like the Joseph Dwyer program. So you could maybe call it stage two of our efforts to improve the

conditions for veterans.” Walters said the group is looking to staff the Greene County office with veterans for open positions that include peer support technicians and a program manager. “Because we’re a veteran nonprofit, we’re able to provide services that are peer support and educational,” Walters said. “The Dwyer Program has allowed that streamlined program where we provide the resources and we have activities and events for the military community. It’s also about crisis intervention where someone is suicidal or just needs help, whether they’re homeless or seeking services to get back into school. Whatever it is, it provides the opportunity for the military community to know that they’re supported. It’s just based on having that lived experience, and all of us that have served have that experience that can benefit someone else.”

Mitch McConnell knew this would happen. For months, the Senate Republican leader had been telling anyone who would listen - other senators, party donors, even the occasional pundit that the party should not run on a detailed agenda during the midterm campaign this fall. Republicans were already positioned to do well. Why hand the Democrats a chance to launch attacks on a Republican agenda? Sen. Rick Scott, a Florida Republican, didn’t agree. He released an “11 Point Plan” that includes, he says, 128 policies. (That number is padded: Treating socialism “as an enemy combatant which aims to destroy our prosperity and freedom,” for instance, is not a policy.) Sure enough, Democrats found vulnerabilities: chiefly the plan’s insistence that “all Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount.” Since, as the plan notes, “over half of Americans pay no income tax,” that plank sounds like a tax increase for a majority of the country. Another Scott idea the Democrats are happy to publicize is to require all federal legislation to lapse after five years - which, they say, would put Social Security and Medicare in danger. Democrats have attempted to present Scott’s ideas as a project of the entire Republican Party, a task made easier by the fact that Scott is the chairman of the Republicans’ Senate campaign arm. (He says he released the plan in his capacity as an individual senator, but nobody cares.) White House press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted that “the Senate GOP plan” would be “the biggest tax hike of the century.” Scott defended his plan in the Wall Street Journal: “Working Americans already pay taxes on their income, and retirees have paid plenty. The change we need is to require those who are able-bodied but won’t work to pay a small amount so we’re all in this together.” He is not, he says, treating the tens of millions of Americans who are retired, or who pay payroll taxes but not income taxes, as freeloaders. That position is more defensible, politically and intellectually, than his original one, but it is a change.

Only by including both groups can you say “over half of Americans” are non-payers. The upshot: Scott is on defense, Democrats are talking about his plan more than his fellow Republicans are, and the “old Crow” - that’s what Donald Trump calls McConnell - has some reason for crowing. But Scott also has something important right. A party seeking power has a moral obligation to give voters a sense of how it would wield that power. That doesn’t mean Republicans have to announce a list of 128 policies they want to push for. It does mean that they should, individually or corporately, share their thoughts about their most important priorities for the federal government. Some, even many, of those priorities could be negative: We’re going to stop the Democrats from raising taxes. (Actually, the Democrats are doing a pretty good job of stopping themselves at the moment.) Others might require more action. Republicans have been curiously quiet about extending the many provisions of their own 2017 tax reform that are set to expire in the next few years. That issue didn’t make Scott’s list; it should have. Public concern about inflation is rising, and Republicans generally say that Biden’s spending is partly to blame. It’s a reasonable criticism. It’s also reasonable to ask what they would have the government do about inflation, or about spending. They’re mostly not saying. The section of Scott’s plan about the economy does not even mention inflation. The debate between McConnell and Scott, then, is narrow. McConnell explicitly denies that Republicans need to run on policies; Scott implicitly denies that they need to think much about them. The two sides of the argument bolster each other. McConnell’s stance creates a Republican policy vacuum that individual senators are tempted to fill, even with ill-considered ideas. When the poorly vetted ideas emerge, Republicans conclude that McConnell was right all along. McConnell is winning this argument, which is probably for the best for his party’s electoral fortunes this year. Whether it’s in the party’s, or the country’s, long-term interest: That’s a different question.

New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge at the plate against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium on Friday.

Bill Madden New York Daily News

What transpired Friday in the prelude to a potential parting of the ways between the Yankees and Aaron Judge was the classic case of dumb and even dumber. For Hal Steinbrenner to offer a sevenyear $213 million ($30.5 AAV) extension to the 30-year Judge, who’s had only two fully healthy seasons with the Yankees and missed 156 games due to injuries since

2017, would more than qualify him for winning the One Dumb Owner distinction for this off-season. But for Judge to reject that offer and gamble on having an MVP season in ‘22 to force the Yankees into giving him Mike Trout money was even dumber. And make no mistake, this negotiation from the start was all about Mike Trout -- who himself has played only 90 games in the first three years of his $430 million extension -- and his

$36M AAV. As Judge continued to maintain to the Yankees, he honestly believes he is as good or better player than Trout and intends to be paid accordingly. Only problem with that assessment is that Trout currently has three MVP awards to Judge’s none. Steinbrenner got a hint that this was going to be a very difficult negotiation in the arbitration process last month when the See JUDGE B2

Scottie Scheffler caps his remarkable rise with a dominant Masters victory Chuck Culpepper The Washington Post

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Scottie Scheffler spent the weekend grabbing, corralling, smothering, withstanding, squelching, subduing, commandeering and winning the 86th Masters. He ratified his fresh world ranking of No. 1 with a romp thorough enough that he smiled a deep and knowing smile after only 70 holes. Normally a lead in a Masters with two holes to play would be cause to whinge about why Augusta National doesn’t attach airsickness bags to the pines, but here the nervous system could lounge. The lead gaped such - five shots by then - that it didn’t matter that Scheffler closed with a four-putt double bogey. He became that rare guy in golf history to close with a missed five-footer for par, a missed five-footer for bogey, a made three-footer for double bogey and a protracted series of hugs from family members and friends who looked just as elated as he did. “I’ll give myself a free pass for that one,” See SCHEFFLER B2

Dwayne Haskins’s legacy can’t be measured with statistics Les Carpenter The Washington Post

Dwayne Haskins’s smile was one of the first things that came to mind on the day he died. There was something inviting about the way happiness spread across the quarterback’s face, filling his cheeks and lighting his eyes. The smile was real. It was gentle, inviting, at times almost playful. And it showed the innocence of a young man trying hard to find himself in the unforgiving, zero sum world of professional football. It’s always sad when bright, talented people die in their early 20s, but Haskins’s death in the middle of a Fort Lauderdale freeway seems especially cruel because it was such an abrupt and brutal end to a life that held so much promise and appeared to be heading in the right direction. Haskins’s biography is packed with more chapters than that of nearly anyone else just weeks short of turning 25. It’s a complicated and often confusing story, told most vividly in numbers - both with the jaw-dropping touchdown totals at Ohio State and the disappointing statistical line from his short time with Washington. But his legacy is not a quarterback rating, his memory is bigger than a football career. He was warm, he was sweet and there always seemed a hope that

he was about to find his vast potential. Those who knew Haskins best, both after his

move as a teenager, from New Jersey to Montgomery County, Maryland, where he attended

the Bullis School and later at Ohio State, have always described someone gifted with a brilliant mind as well as the ability to throw a football as hard and as far as he wanted. One told a story of a throwing contest with several top quarterbacks in which Haskins was sprawled on the side of the practice field as each of the passers struggled to hit the intended target before at last rising to his feet, picking up the ball and nailing the target with his first heave. They said he was a quick learner. They said he was a natural. They said he was special. And yet it didn’t work out in the NFL, and no one seemed to have a good reason as to why. The easy explanation is that Haskins never should have gone to Washington with the 15th overall pick in 2019. It was too close to home; he needed to get away from the place where he grew up. Complicating things is that several people familiar with the team’s pre-draft deliberations say Commanders owner Daniel Snyder forced team executives to pick Haskins over the objections of coaches and club president Bruce Allen. It meant Haskins had to begin his career playing for a coaching staff that didn’t want him. The best young quarterbacks are supported well by their teams, but the dysfunction in See HASKINS B2

Frustrating night for Yankees as they lose finale to Red Sox Laura Albanese Newsday

It wasn’t going to always work out. Not all the little adaptations the Yankees have had to make at the beginning of this very strange season were going to translate to wins, no matter how well-suited to it they seemed in the first two games of the year. Though they have those extra two players on the roster, working around a starting pitching staff that isn’t fully stretched out presents some pretty significant challenges. So does a lineup that hasn’t had the time it usually does to prepare for the season. Granted, every team is going through the same thing, it was just that on Sunday, it was the Yankees’ turn to feel the pain of it. Their lineup failed to get timely hits and the usually sterling bullpen faltered just enough as they lost to the Red Sox, 4-3, at Yankee Stadium on Bobby Dalbec’s solo home run in the sixth inning. They Yankees (2-1), who left 11 men on base, had 10 hits and three walks in six innings but were able to turn all that offense into only three runs. They left nine on base in that span and missed a good opportunity when Aaron Hicks grounded into an inning-ending 4-6-3 double play with the bases loaded in the third. The bullpen, which entered the day having allowed only one earned run in 13 innings, finally cracked in the sixth when Clarke Schmidt allowed Dalbec’s 391-foot homer to right-center for a 4-3 Boston lead. Before that, Schmidt, who pitched 2 2/3 innings, allowed an inherited runner to score the tying run on a sacrifice fly in the fourth. And with all that, it could have been a lot worse.

Haskins From B1

Washington, with two coaching changes in two years did little to serve him. And yet, with Haskins there also was something else, something deeper, something everyone struggled to put into words and led to his release late in a 2020 season that was going to be the one in which he established himself as a starter. While Haskins did not play

he said. He had just become the only player in the field with four red rounds after his closing 71 left him at 10 under par, three shots ahead of surging runner-up Rory McIlroy with his record-tying 64, and five ahead of Shane Lowry and Cameron Smith. The 25-year-old New Jersey-born Texan had led the tournament from Friday afternoon all the way through Saturday and all the way through Sunday, even after a Sunday morning when the pressure menaced enough that he sobbed as his wife, Meredith, reassured. “Hat’s off to him,” McIlroy said. “He’s sort of been head and shoulders above everyone else this week.” The same might go for the dizzying past 56 days in men’s golf, in which Scheffler’s tall head and broad shoulders have

Judge From B1

Yankees’ filed at $17M, which represented one of the highest raises in arbitration history, and Judge countered at $21M, which would more than double his 2021 salary. The Yankees don’t often go to arbitration with their players, but when they do, they don’t compromise from their number and always win - which bodes ominously for this acrimony with Judge. I’m told that a number of agents, when they saw the Yankee offer to Judge, were astounded Steinbrenner had elected to go that far out in

Boston’s Bobby Dalbec rounds third base on his home run to right field in the sixth inning against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Sunday night.

Things got ugly early when, after a one-out single, Xander Bogaerts hit a 102.8-mph missile off the back of starter Jordan Montgomery’s thigh. Montgomery attempted to walk it off before collapsing on the ground. The Yankees summoned the trainer (and the bullpen) but the ball, which hit the fleshy part of his leg, apparently didn’t do grave enough damage to take him out. Montgomery, though, did seem rattled, and he quickly let up an RBI double to JD Martinez, hit Dalbec, and

let up a sacrifice fly to Alex Verdugo before getting out of the inning down 2-0. The Yankees were finally able to touch up Tanner Houck in the third, when Anthony Rizzo led off with a walk, and Aaron Judge stroked a line drive to right that was just missed by a diving Christian Arroyo for a single. Stanton singled for the first run of the game and his fourth RBI this year. The Yankees eventually loaded the bases, but Aaron Hicks hit into the inning-ending double play to keep the

Red Sox ahead. Montgomery, like both starters before him, was subjected to a quick hook because of the shortened spring, but not before he put two runners on in the third. With Arroyo at third and Schmidt in, Jonathan Arauz hit a sacrifice fly to increase the Red Sox lead to 3-1. Montgomery departed after 58 pitches, allowing three earned runs on four hits with a walk and four strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings. Two runs, though, was more than striking distance for Anthony Rizzo, though. Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Jose Trevino hit a double and single to lead off the fourth, accounting for both of their first hits as Yankees, and moved over on a wild pitch. Then Rizzo, who came into the game with two homers and four RBIs over the first two games, came up with reliever Ryan Brasier on the mound, and promptly lined a two-run single to left to tie the game at 3. “Riz in a good spot right now,” Aaron Boone said after the game Saturday, after his second homer. “He’s just missed another pitch or two on top of the two homers where he’s had a chance, but good to see him in, I know, in a good place with his mechanics and his swing. I know he feels real good.” The Yankees squandered a chance in the fifth, when they put runners in scoring position with one out, but Hicks grounded out and Kiner-Falefa struck out. That was enough for the Red Sox, who capitalized in the next half inning, when Schmidt threw a first-pitch, 93-mph sinker that rather inconveniently settled in the dead center of the strikezone for Dalbec, who hit it 391 feet to right for a solo home run, his first of the year.

well in Washington, he was anything but a bad person. He committed no crimes, he was never rude. He appeared to be trying. Sometimes it looked as if he was trying too hard. After news of his death broke, some pointed to the fact that he was training with his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates in Florida as evidence he was somehow making a commitment to football, but he had always worked with teammates in his offseasons. He worked hard with trainers. Those familiar with his practice habits away from NFL facilities say he studied the plays.

His biggest problem seemed to be that he was still looking to figure out who he was, a kid at 21 and 22 who was more unsure of himself and didn’t always know how to act. One friend described him as “an awkward prep school kid” who didn’t have the same background as most of his teammates. He worked hard to fit in. It struck many who knew him that he was playing the role of what an NFL quarterback should be rather than doing so naturally. The coaches who came off the most angry about him were fixated on what he wasn’t rather

than trying to figure out who he could someday become. Haskins certainly made his mistakes in the NFL. He kept blowing chances by breaking team rules in inviting family members to the team hotel in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic and partying after a game in violation of the league’s pandemic protocols. At the end of his time in Washington he looked lost, playing worse than he did at the start. But the football portrayal of Haskins never matched that of the man. The kindness described in tributes about him

was genuine. He did interviews even when he didn’t have the time to do them. When people asked him for things he tried to help. Friends described him as a “pleaser.” He appeared to be trying to make everyone happy, which is hard to do when you are young and famous and wealthy and still learning who you are. His death is as perplexing as his football life. How could he be running across a Florida interstate at 6:30 a.m.? He was smart and gifted and when he smiled he made others around him happy as well. He had a

future. He had hope. The last year spent with the Steelers was supposed to be a reclamation. He had a fresh start. Instead, there will be a funeral, a casket, a grave with a tombstone marking a brilliant life ended too soon with the questions of what happened. It makes no sense. He was still at the beginning, a kid becoming a man. And in the hours after Dwayne Haskins died at 24, that was the saddest thing of all.

gone on quite some binge. He woke on the Sunday morning of Feb. 13 tied with Patrick Cantlay for the lead at the rowdy Phoenix Open. Only the geeks noticed. Well, after the genteel Masters eight Sundays later, he has won a Woods-ian four times in six tries, has zoomed from No. 15 to No. 1 in the world, has finished a forgotten but excellent seventh at Riviera in Los Angeles for extra kicks, has won his first major title without much strife and has noted more than once about how his head seems to keep spinning. It’s all remarkable and also somewhat predictable for a former 9-year-old kid who would intrigue the members at Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas with his tireless study of pro golfers as they did really interesting things such as hit balls on the range. “I wore pants when I was a kid at Royal Oaks,” he said Sunday evening, “because I wanted to play on the PGA Tour. I would wear pants and a collared shirt to, like, third-grade class and get made fun of.”

He paused just a tad. “Rightfully so,” he added, coaxing interview-room laughs. He led by six Saturday before it faded to three, and he led by three at tee time Sunday before it faded to one after two holes alongside Smith, the 28-yearold Australian who won the Players Championship last month and stands No. 6 in the world. Well, suspense flickered and croaked quickly. First, Scheffler teed off on No. 3 and pointed his arm to the left, golf body language for trouble. The thing landed behind a scoreboard, in the straw and near the folding chair of someone who might have hoped to enjoy the shade in peace. From there, Scheffler whacked it out to where it clunked in front of the green, 29 yards from the cup. From there, he chipped on and watched it race, then skitter, then hurry, then bang itself into the flagstick and dunk. “I chipped it so good this week,” he said. The birdie provided a threeshot lead once Smith bogeyed,

and Scheffler resumed the happy trail from there, with three straight pars, another birdie on No. 7, two straight pars, a bogey on No. 10, three straight pars and then birdies on Nos. 14 and 15. Smith struggled while McIlroy didn’t. “Just a really bad swing at the wrong time,” Smith said of a tee shot on storied par3 No. 12 that hurried to the water without even the traditional glance off the bank. Soon, smiling did seem possible. So commanding had Scheffler’s mastery proved that it rendered meaningless a wow of a scene on No. 18, where fourtime major winner McIlroy and two-time major winner Collin Morikawa holed out from the sand and gave the crowd a big helping of delirium. McIlroy’s chip in particular entertained because of its merry, meandering trip. It started out miles to the right of the cup, then turned left and continued its trek toward the right of the hole, then made one little adjustment near the end to plunk in just to the right of the flagstick.

That left McIlroy with that 64, tied for the best final round in Masters history. He had spent the day moving up the board after seeing some of the prettier weather in the history of the world and thinking, “I feel like we haven’t had a lot of days this year [weather-wise] where you actually can get after the golf course, and today we had a day when you could get after it.” Morikawa followed with a more direct line to the flagstick, and the two did the logical thing and hugged. Scheffler’s path to serial hugs including plenty of evidence of his clear, calm head, which enabled him to stare at hints of trouble and snuff them out hastily. On No. 7, he sent an approach to seven feet, just beneath the hole, and made that. On No. 10, he sent an approach off the left side of the green and down the slope, a mistake, and bogeyed that. Never mind. On No. 14, he hit this beauty to the fringe behind the green, from where it began its trip backward, waved hello past the hole

and stopped obediently at five feet. On No. 15, he chipped from behind the green to 14 feet and made that. He showed zero signs of the morning gone by. “You know, last night was pretty easy,” he said but soon added: “This morning was a totally different story. I cried like a baby this morning. I was so stressed out. I didn’t know what to do. I was sitting there telling Meredith: ‘I don’t think I’m ready for this. I’m not ready. I don’t feel like I’m ready for this kind of stuff.’ And I just felt overwhelmed. She told me, ‘Who are you to say that you are not ready?’” Once he reached the course, he calmed, what with occasions in life so often easier than the anticipation. He played as he had played the other days, and then he smiled after No. 16, and then he got to a rare point in a golfer’s life where he could botch some putts on No. 18 at the Masters, place his hand over his face and maybe even giggle.

both years and money. Certainly he had to know like all of these six- and seven-year deals to players in their 30s, the contract will eventually become an albatross. But Steinbrenner obviously didn’t care. Judge is a homegrown Yankee whom the team has heavily marketed as their franchise player and Steinbrenner loves him and was determined to lock him up. Assuming Judge, as he’s vowed, now takes this into free agency after the season, he’d better have an MVP year -- which is already potentially compromised if he fails to get vaccinated and has to miss nine games in Toronto against the Yankees’ chief AL East rival, the Blue Jays. And what if he

doesn’t have that year? Does he really believe Steinbrenner will continue negotiating against himself and improve on what is already an offer no other club but the Yankees would be willing to make to him? I doubt if Judge is much of a student of baseball history. However, if he should encounter an untimely early batting slump or some tightness in that dreaded oblique, he might want to take a look at the case of Juan Gonzales in 2000. Gonzales was also 30 and had already won two MVP awards when the Rangers traded him to the Tigers, who then sought to keep him out of free agency by offering him an eight-year/ $140M contract extension.

Gonzalez rejected the offer, had an injury-plagued subpar year for Detroit in 2000, and wound up getting a puny oneyear/ $10M free agent deal from the Indians. Four years later he was “Juan Gone” -- as in out of baseball. Meanwhile, it was interesting that, at the same time the Yankees were unable to come to agreement with Judge on an extension, the Red Sox reached an impasse with their own homegrown mainstay, 29-year-old shortstop Xavier Bogaerts. The difference is, as Hal Steinbrenner clearly demonstrated he wants to keep Judge a Yankee, the Red Sox seem perfectly content to let Bogaerts opt out of his

three-year/ $60M contract and walk at the end of the season -- starting with their signing of Trevor Story for six years/ $140M this offseason. It wouldn’t be the first time the Sox parted ways with a star player who they deemed had gotten too expensive (see Jon Lester in 2014 and the Mookie Betts trade in 2020), but other than trying hard to lock up 25-year old third baseman Rafael Devers, the Red Sox are operating on the loyalty-bedamned analytics credo of no long term contracts for players in their 30s. Being as the Yankee under Brian Cashman are married to analytics as much as any other team in baseball, it says even

more that Hal Steinbrenner proposed to extend Judge to age 38 with the second highest AAV in baseball. In addressing the media after Friday’s game, Judge said: “I’m just disappointed because I have been vocal about wanting to be a Yankee for life.” This, after walking away from $230 million, which would have done just that. Please. IT’S A MADD, MADD WORLD Speaking of players who rejected multi-million extensions, do you think Carlos Correa, who reportedly turned down a 10-year/ $275M offer from the Tigers prior to the lockout, realizes he has to pay two agents for their services this winter?

11/18/21 - PWS LRAA2 CATSKILL WATER SYSTEM - ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORT ID#1900026

77.62 26.4 – 106.9 TABLE OF DETECTED CONTAMINANTS FOR CATSKILL WATER SYSTEM FOR THE YEAR 2021

The New York State Department of Health has implemented a source water assessment program for all public water sources in the state. A summary of the assessment for our system is included at the end of this report. Public Health Law requires that all water supply systems with greater than 1000 service connections provide their customers with annual water quality reports. The purpose of this law is to ensure that private and public water companies throughout New York State provide their customers with information regarding the quality of their water supply as well as the responsibilities, activities, and infrastructure of their water supplier. This report covers the period from January 1 to December 31, 2021. IMPROVEMENTS for 2021: replaced unit 1 waste valve, replace raw pump 1 intel and screen, replaced chlorine analyzer. Rebuilt storage tank 1 fill valve, ross valve installed a bearing on the storage tank 1 fill valve., changed sodium permanganate chemical feed and transfer pump. Replaced feed pumps for polymer chemical, sodium hydroxide chemical and zinc orthophosphate chemical. Installed a float limiter on the storage tank 1 fill valve. Changed sodium permanganate transfer pump. Replace RPZ backflow preventer for sodium permanganate/polymer panel. Replaced the solenoid on unit 1 air scour valve. Replaced the chart pen on the combined effluent turbidity/chlorine plotter. The Village intends to construct a settling basin to further reduce solid and organic matter in the water. These improvements are intended to reduce the formation potential for THMs

Contaminant Violation Yes/No

Haloacetic Acids (HAA5s) No

Date of sample

Contaminants that may be present in raw or source water before it is treated are microbial contaminants, inorganic contaminants, pesticides and herbicides, radioactive contaminants, and organic chemical contaminants. Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides may come from a variety of sources, such as agricultural and residential uses. Radioactive contaminants are usually naturally occurring. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production and can also come from gas stations, urban water runoff, and septic systems. Disinfection by-products such as trihalomethane and haloacetic acid, are a result of the water chlorination process. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The State Health Departments and the FDA’s regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. The Village of Catskill Water Plant contains three micro floc Trident 420 package filters, each capable of filtering 700 gallons per minute (gpm). Raw water that has been treated with sodium permanganate is pumped into the plant by the raw water pumps through a chemical feed room where caustic soda (for ph adjustment), PCH – 182 (a coagulant), a polymer (a coagulant aid) are injected. Water flows through the upflow clarifiers of the trident units before passing through the dual media filters and into the clear wells below the plant. As water exits each filter, chlorine is injected for disinfection. Zinc orthophosphate is added to the effluent line for corrosion control. Each filter is equipped with an effluent turbid meter, which allows for the monitoring of the performance of each individual filter. The filter’s backwash is based on pressure loss through the filter. Chlorine residual is monitored before the exit of the treatment plant and in the distribution system as well as bacteriological and organic compounds. The water system lacks sufficient storage capacity near the actual service areas. A break along the main 16” transmission line or a problem at the filter plant would cause a service interruption to the entire system. We continue to look for funding through the current NYS Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and Clean Air/Clean Water Bond Act. There are approximately 2,200 connections to the system, serving an estimated 8500 people. Total water generated in 2021 at the water plant, amounts to 318,588,600 gallons. The last water rate increase was July 2019. The average residential water customer used approximately 24 units per billing quarter. This represents a daily use of 195 gallons per household. Water bills inside the Village average $450.80 per year and $895.50 outside the Village. With sewer bills also based on the water use, we urge customers to promptly repair even the smallest intermittent leak and consider other water conservation methods such as: • • • • • •

Use low flow shower heads and faucets Repair all leaks in your plumbing system Water your lawn sparingly early morning or late evening Do only full loads of wash and dishes Wash your car with a bucket and hose with a nozzle Do not cut the law too short; longer grass saves water

Sources of drinking water include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and radioactive material and can pick up substances resulting from human and animal activity. The Catskill water system’s water source is the Potic Reservoir located in the Town of Coxsackie on Schoharie Turnpike. Total capacity, including three-foot spillway boards, is approximately 249 million gallons with an estimated fourteen square mile water shed area.

Soil Runoff

As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. These contaminants include total coliform, turbidity, inorganic compounds, nitrate, nitrite, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, total trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, radiological and synthetic organic compounds. The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old. It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or the NYSDOH Oneonta District Office at 607-432-3911.

Each year the NYS Department of Health mandates a testing program for the Village’s source water and finished water. This testing program is performed by NYS certified commercial laboratories with the results reported directly to the State, as well as to the Village. Full documentation of all tests performed, the results, and maximum allowable limits are contained in a supplement available on request and on file at the Village Clerk’s Office, 422 Main Street, Catskill, NY 12414 or at 943-3830.

Samples in 2021 show that the system again, meets state drinking water standards. New copperlead sampling are presented for 2021. However, some homes on the Catskill water system still have high levels of lead. Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible that the lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home’s water, you may wish to have your water tested and flush you tap for 30 seconds up to 2 minutes before using tap water. Additional information is available for the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). LEAD IS NOT FOUND IN THE SOURCE WATER. Those few residences still having lead service pipes are urged to seriously consider their replacement.

Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of the water. Our highest single turbidity measurement for the year occurred on 12/2021 (0.74 NTU). State regulations require that turbidity must always be less than or equal to 1.0 NTU. The regulations require 95% of the turbidity samples collected have measurements below 0.3 NTU. Oct.. was the month when we had the fewest measurements meeting the treatment technique for turbidity, the levels recorded were within the acceptable range allowed and did not constitute a treatment technique violation.

DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS? Some people may be more vulnerable to drinking water contaminants than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons, such as people with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Crytosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

What does this mean? Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. These symptoms are not caused only by organisms in drinking water. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice. DEFINITIONS a)

From the 3rd quarter of 2020 through the 2nd quarter of 2021 (7/1/2020 – 6/30/2021) the Catskill Village water system was found to have an average concentration of total trihalomethanes that exceed the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 80 parts per billion (ppb). Compliance with the MCL is based on the average of the four most recent quarterly sample results collected from each sampling location (called the locational running annual average or LRAA). The current THM LRAA is 83.1 ppb. Water suppliers are required to provide written public notification to consumers when an MCL is exceeded.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA PUBLIC NOTICES four most recent quarterly sample results collected from each sampling location (called the locational running annual average or LLRA) The current THM LRAA is 88.1 ppb. From the 4th quarter of 2020 through the 3rd quarter of 2021 (10/1/2020 – 9/30/2021) the Catskill Village water system was found to have an average concentration of total trihalomethanes that exceed the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 80 parts per billion (ppb). Compliance with the MCL is based on the average of the four most recent quarterly sample results collected from each sampling location (called the locational running annual average or LRAA). The current THM LRAA is 89.5 ppb. Water suppliers are required to provide written public notification to consumers when an MCL is exceeded. What are trihalomethanes? Trihalomethanes are a group of chemicals that are formed in drinking water during disinfection when chlorine reacts with naturally occurring organic material (e.g., decomposing vegetation such as tree leaves, algae or other aquatic plants) in surface water sources such as rivers and lakes. They are disinfection byproducts and include the individual chemicals chloroform, bromoform, bromodichloromethane, and chlorodibromomethane. The amount of trihalomethanes formed in drinking water during disinfection can change from day to day, depending on the temperature, the amount of organic material in the water, the amount of chlorine added, and a variety of other factors. Disinfection of drinking water by chlorination is beneficial to public health. Drinking water is disinfected by public water suppliers to kill bacteria and viruses that could cause serious illnesses, and chlorine is the most used disinfectant in New York State. All public water systems that use chlorine as a disinfectant contain trihalomethanes to some degree. What are the health effects of trihalomethanes? Some studies suggest that people who drank water containing trihalomethanes for long periods of time (e.g., 20 to 30 years) have an increased risk of certain health effects. These include an increased risk for cancer and for low birth weights, miscarriages and birth defects. The methods used by these studies could not rule out the role of other factors that could have resulted in the observed increased risks. In addition, other similar studies do not show an increased risk for these health effects. Therefore, the evidence from these studies is not strong enough to conclude that trihalomethanes were a major factor contributing to the observed increased risks for these health effects. Studies of laboratory animals show that some trihalomethanes can cause cancer and adverse reproductive and developmental effects, but at exposures much higher than exposures that could result through normal use of the water. The United States Environmental Protection Agency reviewed the information from the human and animal studies and concluded that while there is no causal link between disinfection byproducts (including trihalomethanes) and human health effects, the balance of the information warranted stronger regulations that limit the amount of trihalomethanes in drinking water, while still allowing for adequate disinfection. The risks for adverse health effects from trihalomethanes in drinking water are small compared to the risks for illness from drinking inadequately disinfected water. The Village has recently secured a $3 million grant together with an additional $2 million loan that will assist in addressing the conditions that result in the creation of THMs. Specifically, the Village has installed an aerator in the reservoir aimed at reducing the amount organic material in the water, and the Village intends to construct a settling basin in advance of the existing treatment plant to further reduce solid and organic matter in the water that is treated through the filtration plant. These improvements are intended to reduce the formation po tential for THMs. A further step may be taken to introduce activated carbon filters at the water plant, if necessary Consumers having questions on any of the above can contact Robert Young, Water/Wastewater Superintendent at 518-943-5505 at the water plant, or the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-4264791 WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION MEAN? The table show that our system uncovered some problems this year. From the 1st quarter of 2021 through the 4th quarter of 2021 (01/01/2021 – 12/31/2021) the Catskill Village water system was found to have an average concentration of total trihalomethanes that exceed the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 80 parts per billion (ppb). Compliance with the MCL is based on the average of the four most recent quarterly sample results collected from each sampling location (called the locational running annual average or LRAA).

IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER RULES THAT GOVERN OPERATIONS? During 2021 our system followed applicable state drinking water operation, monitoring, and reporting requirements. WHY SAVE WATER AND HOW TO AVOID WASTING IT? Although our system has an adequate amount of water to meet present and future demands, there are a number of reasons why it is important to conserve water: • Saving water saves energy and some of the costs associated with both necessities of life. • Saving water reduces the cost of energy required to pump water and the need to construct costly new wells, pumping systems and water towers; and • Saving water lessens the strain on the water system during a dry spell or drought, helping to avoid severe water use restrictions so that essential firefighting needs are met. You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to conserve water. Conservation tips include: • Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So, get a run for your money and load it to capacity. • Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. • Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day. Fix it and you can save almost 6,000 gallons per year. • Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year. • Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appliances, then check the meter after 15 minutes. If it moved, you have a leak. Village of Catskill - NY1900026 - Source Water Assessment Summary The NYS Department of Health has completed a source water assessment for this system, based on the available information. Possible and actual threats to the drinking water sources were evaluated. The state source water assessment includes a susceptibility rating based on the risk posed by each potential source of contamination and how easily contaminants can move through the subsurface to the drinking water sources. The susceptibility rating is an estimate of the potential for contamination of the source water, it does not mean that the water delivered to consumers is or will become contaminated. While nitrates (and other inorganic contaminants) were detected in our water, it should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonable expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants from natural sources. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. The nitrate levels in our sources are not considered high in comparison with other sources in this area. As mentioned before, our water is derived from a reservoir. The source water assessment has found substantial potential risks to drinking water quality. The amount of pasture in the assessment area results in high susceptibility for microbials. There is also a medium density of sanitary wastewater discharges, which results in medium risks for contamination, for the finding is not fully associated with other discrete contaminants sources. Finally, it should be noted that reservoirs in general are highly sensitive to phosphorus and microbial contaminants. While the source water assessment rates our reservoir as being susceptible to microbials, please note that our water is disinfected to ensure that the finished water delivered into your home meets New York State’s drinking water standards for microbial contamination . A copy of the assessment, including a map of the assessment area, can be obtained by contacting the Village of Catskill at 422 Main Street, Catskill, NY 12414,518-943-3830. The Village of Catskill has public board meetings every second and fourth Wednesday of the Month. THIS 2021 REPORT HAS BEEN REVIEWED FOR ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS BY THE DEPARMENT OF HEALTH.

Difference of opinion ends longtime friendships Dear Abby, The pandemic has put a strain on relationships. Last year, I lost my best friend of 40 years over the COVID vaccines. I believe the vaccine helps to keep me safe, as well as helps my family and friends. This friend decided he and his family would not take the DEAR ABBY jab. He quit his job rather than get vaccinated. This caused a rift so wide that, in his eyes, he and his family could not continue being friends with our family. I’m sad about it. The big problem my wife and I are contending with concerns our 8-year-old daughter. She has been best friends with my (former) best friend’s daughter since birth. There have been eight years of sleepovers, birthdays, park visits, get-togethers and everything in between. We haven’t seen them in six months. We can’t keep telling our daughter the pandemic is the reason she can’t see her best friend. This situation is so simple and so complicated. What do I tell my daughter about her best friend? Victim Of The Times

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Tell your daughter the truth — that her friend’s parents will no longer allow it. Then explain why. That way she won’t think that this is in any way her fault. Dear Abby, I was recently contacted by my graduating class to help organize a reunion. Since

then, one of the organizers has decided that our committee is an inseparable trio who must get together regularly by Zoom and occasionally in person. We were not in touch before the reunion and we have little in common, but I can tell she’s lonely, so I’ve indulged her so far. However, she now wants to convene periodically for long weekends at a nearby inn. I do not want to leave my spouse for long weekends or spend money and time on a person whom I don’t care to befriend. When I’ve tried to demur with “unavailability” excuses, she insists we are a trio and we simply will wait a few weeks until I can find an open date. I don’t want to be rude, but I can’t figure out how to politely tell her that I have no interest in accepting her suggestions for an extended slumber party. How should I handle this? Reluctant Alumna In The West

Handle it by being frank with this needy individual. Tell her, “This isn’t going to happen. I do not wish to leave my husband for a weekend. I don’t mind helping with the reunion, but your demands on my time have increased to the point where they are too much for me.” Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you always seem to attract the attention of both admirers and detractors, and you are in no way unfamiliar with the kinds of criticism so often directed at people like you. You aren’t the kind to take any of this to heart, however. In fact, you are far more likely to wear criticism as a badge of honor because you know it means that what you do and say are somehow having an effect on others — and that’s ultimately what you want more than anything else. You can be quite emotional and wear your heart on your sleeve at times, and you never try to hide your true feelings about anything from those around you. Indeed, you share your innermost feelings more often than you should, perhaps — except when it comes to your closest relationships, about which you can be oddly unexpressive. Also born on this date are: Vince Gill, singer; David Letterman, late-night TV host; Shannen Doherty, actress; Jennifer Morrison, actress; Tiny Tim, singer and comedian; Claire Danes, actress; David Cassidy, actor and singer; Beverly Cleary, author. 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. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13 ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Do you have what it takes to outshine a rival today? Do this, and it’s likely that several doors will be opened to you for the first time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Information comes to you today that may inspire you to do something that, only yesterday, you would have tried to avoid. What’s changed? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — What you offer

today can make a big difference to a great many individuals — but especially to those who work closely with you, of course. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may be trying to guess what someone will soon do when there are clear signs all around you that require no “interpretation.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — What you do today is likely to be remembered by some who are eager to put you in your place when they have the chance. Don’t give them one! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your responsibilities must not be shirked — but neither must you do anything without thinking it through. Negotiate and compromise if you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Hidden dangers, though small, will surely give you cause for concern today — but a rough road needn’t stop you from reaching your destination. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Despite doing things a certain way — and succeeding at them — you’ll be tempted to try a new and possibly controversial method today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You and a rival reach an impasse of sorts today, and if you flinch first, you’re likely to give up far more than you can afford. Use care! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You’re likely to have many questions about someone’s “covert” activities — but the answers aren’t likely to come easily just now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You’re willing to trust the routine you have built for yourself — else what is it for? You’re intrigued by something new today, however. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Something from your past that you regret needn’t keep you from doing what you know you must. It’s time to put that behind you for good.

As dealer, what call would you make? A - We like to pressure the opponents, but this hand is too good for 3H and not right for 4H – weakish hearts and good outside strength. Bid 1H. Q 2 - North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold: ♠ A K Q J 5 3 ♥ J 10 ♦ J 9 ♣ K 7 6 SOUTH 1♠ ?

What call would you make? A - After a 2-over-1 response, a jump rebid by opener in his own suit shows a suit that should be solid opposite a singleton. Bid 3S.

A - Always consider your rebid when opening the bidding. This hand is good enough to reverse into 2D as your next bid. Open 1C. Q 5 - North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold: ♠ K Q 10 7 6 3 ♥ K 10 9 ♦ 4 ♣ A 6 4 SOUTH 1♠ ?

What call would you make? A - Bid 3S. This bid is not invitational. It shows a sixth trump and a hand that doesn’t want to defend at the three level. Any other bid at the three level would be invitational. Q 6 - East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold: ♠ 10 8 6 ♥ A K 10 7 6 4 ♦ A Q 8 ♣ 7 EAST SOUTH WEST NORTH Pass 2♣* 1♣ 1♥ Pass ? *Heart raise, invitational values
