Man guilty in former Athens woman’s death

By Bill Williams

Columbia-Greene Media

SCHENECTADY — A Rotterdam man has been found guilty on charges connected to the death of a former Greene County woman.

Amanda M. Slaven was 33 when she died in a serious car accident on Nov. 1, 2020, in Rotterdam.

Oscar F. Lopez, 34, was found guilty in a bench trial in Schenectady County Court on three counts Oscar F. Lopez of aggravated vehicular homicide,

aggravated driving while intoxicated, driving while ability impaired by the combined influence of alcohol and drugs and two counts of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, Schenectady County District Attorney Robert Carney said.

Lopez was also charged with second-degree murder but

was acquitted, Carney said.

Slaven was born in Catskill on Dec. 15, 1986. She lived in Athens and was a 2005 graduate of Coxsackie-Athens High School and later, Hudson Valley Community College.

Greene County seeks overdue Medicaid funds

By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — As officials study the impact the new state budget will have, Greene County has joined with other New York counties to call on Gov. Kathy Hochul to release Medicaid funds owed to them.

In a resolution from the New York State Association of Counties Board of Directors, the organization is requesting that the state return up to $232 million in Medicaid reimbursements that the state is withholding from counties.

“We’ve always received a reimbursement for expenses,” Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said on Wednesday. “What has happened in the past is that we would get three quarters of our reimbursement and then the fourth quarter was when the reconciliation

would occur if maybe they paid too much or too little in the first three quarters and it would balance out in the fourth quarter.

That’s a very common accounting practice.”

For the first three years after the enactment of the federal Affordable Care Act, the state followed through with the reconciliation process.

With the Affordable Care Act providing states with an enhanced Medicaid matching share, the states are required to share those savings with counties based on the proportionate share localities pay of the nonfederal match. New York ended that practice six years ago.

“Starting in 2015-2016 in the state budget, they didn’t complete the reconciliation,” Groden said. “Therefore, we weren’t squared up. We weren’t given our final quarter of reimbursement that the feds actually See FUNDS A12

Women behind major art movement to be honored

By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — The Thomas Cole National Historic Site is set to honor a pair of influential Catskill women after U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, DRhinebeck, secured a federal grant for the center.

The historic site will receive $50,000 in funding from the Telling the Truth Full History Preservation Fund, part of a one-time $2.5 million grant program funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities under the American Rescue Plan Act. The Catskill historic site,

which encompasses the home and studio of famed pioneer artist Thomas Cole, will use the funds to create new installations highlighting the contributions of Maria Bartow and an unnamed free Black woman who lived in the household in the 1800s.

Bartow, Cole’s wife, and the unidentified woman were instrumental in helping Cole create the first major art movement of the United States, now known as the Hudson River School.

“For more than 20 years, the Thomas Cole National Historic Site has been an educational

Index

and artistic resource for folks in Catskill and visitors from all over,” Delgado said in a statement. “I am glad to see this funding delivered through the American Rescue Plan, which included my unique funding formula to help deliver direct support to our rural towns and villages. I will keep working to support the local arts and help ensure organizations like the Thomas Cole House have the resources needed to continue its work.”

People walk through Sky Harbor International Airport, in Phoenix, on Dec. 18, 2021.

more transmissible variant only confirms that COVID remains a serious, ongoing danger,” Markey wrote.

“For that reason, I urge CDC to consider extending its mask order and continue requiring masks on public and commercial transportation.

In any modifications to these requirements, both CDC and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) must center efforts to protect the elderly, the immunocompromised, and individuals with disabilities.”

But some groups that had previously supported the masking requirement have urged the administration to consider dropping it.

Last month, executives from 10 airlines, including American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, sent a letter to Biden urging him to end pandemic-related travel policies, including the mask mandate.

In making their case, many groups cited updated guidance issued by the CDC in February that laid out a new framework for determining when masking should be necessary. The new calculations, which were based on the level of disease in the community, meant that large swaths of the country no longer needed to wear masks.

Groups also argued that keeping the requirement in place for transportation seemed contradictory since states had largely stopped requiring people to wear masks in public settings.

However, that may be changing in some communities with the arrival of the BA.2 variant.

This week, Philadelphia became the first major U.S. city to reinstate the requirement in indoor public spaces.

The announcement also comes as airlines are seeing a surge in spring travel - one the industry anticipates will extend through the summer and beyond. TSA officials have reported an increase in the number of people screened at airport checkpoints, with many days routinely topping the 2 million mark as they before the pandemic.

The mask mandate for transportation originally was took effect in February 2021, shortly after Biden took office, when federal officials had only just begun the vaccine rollout.

Since then, it has been extended several times. In making the announcement that the ban would be extended through April 18, federal health officials said the additional time would be used to develop a revised framework that would guide the policy going forward.

Even so the public had mixed views on whether masks should continued to be required in transportation setting. A poll of 1,000 adults conducted by NBC News in mid-March, found 51 percent of those surveyed supported continuing the mandate, while 46 percent thought the requirement should be ended. Three percent of those

who responded said they were not sure.

Airlines began requiring customers to wear masks in mid-2020 as part of the effort to contain the spread of the virus.

The Trump administration declined to put a mask mandate in place, but shortly after taking office, Biden issued an order that required mask-wearing in all transportation settings.

While studies show maskwearing can reduce the spread of the coronavirus, the mandate has caused conflict on airplanes and in airports. In their letter to Biden, airline executives cited that as a reason for ending the mandate.

The Federal Aviation Administration last year received nearly 6,000 reports of unruly passenger behavior and more than 70 percent of cases were mask-related. The agency has proposed more than $1 million in fines related to disruptions that have included assaults on crew members, other passengers and violations of airline alcohol policies.

The TSA - charged with enforcing the mask mandate in airports, on trains and in other transportation settings - last year doubled fines for violations to as much as $1,000 for first offenders and up to $3,000 for second offenders. The agency said in February it has imposed nearly $400,000 in civil penalties against more than 600 mask violators.

Masks will continue to be required until at least May 3 when flying commercially and in other transportation settings, including on buses, ferries and subways, while health officials monitor an uptick in coronavirus cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.

“In order to assess the potential impact the rise of cases has on severe disease, including hospitalizations and deaths, and health care system capacity, the CDC Order will remain in place at this time,” the agency said in a statement.

The decision comes at a time when case counts have begun to rise in the Northeast as the BA.2 subvariant of omicron takes hold and local mask mandates have been rolled back.

But the administration is also facing growing pressure to lift the mask requirement.

Last week, Republican leaders on the House and Senate transportation committees reiterated their call for the president to “rescind or decline to extend the mask mandate.”

“We believe the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA’s) extension of the transportation mask mandate last month ran counter to your public health agency’s announcement that most Americans could forego wearing a mask indoors,” they wrote in the letter to President Joe Biden. “It is our belief that these inconsistent decisions further erode public trust in the Federal government, especially when transportation operators have taken significant steps to keep passengers safe.”

In late March, 21 mostly Republican-led states sued the government seeking to immediately end the mask requirement.

However, in a letter to the CDC and TSA sent last month, Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., said he thought the mandate should be kept.

“Although cases of COVID-19 in the United States have declined from this winter’s peak, the virus continues to pose a threat to the public, particularly for seniors, the immunocompromised, and individuals with disabilities. The emergence of a new and even

A day after bloody Brooklyn subway shooting, resilient NYC commuters return to the trains Nicholas Williams New York Daily News

NEW YORK -- New Yorkers have places to be -- even when a crazed gunman is on the loose.

The city’s subway system lurched back to life Wednesday morning, a day after a bloody attack on an N train near the 36th St. station in Brooklyn left 10 people with gunshot wounds and another 13 injured. The attacker strapped on a gas mask and released smoke canisters before he fired 33 shots in the train car, police said.

“That’s my neighborhood, it’s really hard because you have to get out everyday to go work,” said Damares Batista, 48, who regularly commutes along the same line as the shooting. “I just feel scared, a little scared. I see people on the train today they always on their phone but nobody was on the phone today everyone

looking at each other.”

Police on Wednesday said Frank James, 62, was the suspect in the shooting, a change from Tuesday night when cops deemed him a person of interest. He’s still at large -- and left a trail that included a U-Haul van he rented and parked on Kings Highway, as welldozens of YouTube videos where he rants about homelessness, Mayor Adams and race wars.

“I’m just moving on,” said Terry Williams, 37, a regular subway rider who commutes through the Franklin Ave. station in Crown Heights. “It’s f-ed up, people got their own problems but we just have to keep going.”

Like many New York City commuters, Lonya Nash said she took the subway Wednesday morning because it’s an easier alternative to driving.

Nash, 34, lives in Suffolk County, and regularly commutes to school via the F and

G train.

“It’s kind of wasteful for me to take my car so I figured the subway would be the best route,” said Nash. “It’s unnerving that someone can get down in the subway with so much stuff.

Authorities said the suspect boarded the train with an assortment of luggage filled with fireworks, smoke bombs and a hatchet. A Glock 9mm pistol was recovered at the scene.

“It’s even more unnerving that they still haven’t found him... I hope he’s done and doesn’t do anything else and I hope they find him quickly.”

April is ‘Safe Digging Month’ ALBANY — The New York State Public Service Commission (Commission) announced that it is participating in the nationwide effort to recognize April 2022, as “Safe Digging Month.” Highlighting the importance of safe digging helps to remind excavators and contractors that State law requires them to call one of the State’s toll-free one-call centers before starting any digging, excavation, or demolition project. In recognition of this, Governor Kathy Hochul has proclaimed April 2022 as “Safe Digging Month” in New York.

“Traditionally, April is the beginning of the construction season,” said Chair Rory M. Christian. “Damage to underground utility facilities during excavation may result in loss of utility service, personal injury, or property damage. Therefore, we are urging everyone who performs excavation to do their part in protecting New York’s critical underground infrastructure by simply dialing 811.”

The keys to preventing damage to underground facilities are the two “one-call notification systems” that serve as communication links between contractors/excavators and the operators of underground facilities (local utilities and municipalities).

New York 811 is the one-call notification system serving New York City and Long Island and UDig NY serves the remainder of the State. When calling from inside the areas served, either can be reached

by dialing 811. In addition, both one-call centers allow locate requests to be submitted at any time through webbased ticket entry or through use of their toll-free number.

Use of one-call centers is free.

In recognition of safe digging practices, last year, Governor Hochul permanently extended a requirement that excavators be properly trained to protect underground infrastructure.

The Commission, which oversees electric and telecommunication utilities, as well as nearly 100,000 miles of natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines transporting much needed energy across the State to consumers, prides itself on its zealous safety oversight. The Commission’s rigorous review of utilities’ natural gas and hazardous liquid infrastructure and operations exceeds federal requirements, and includes prescribing aggressive safety performance metrics and conducting thousands of incident investigations. On a daily basis, the Commission’s team of highly trained employees closely monitors utility activity to ensure compliance.

Along with participating in the nationwide Safe Digging Month program, the Commission’s staff works diligently to enforce its pipeline safety regulations, which are among the most stringent in the nation, to ensure that utility companies adhere to the regulations regarding the safe operation of the utility’s natural gas and hazardous liquid

pipeline systems. To continue to improve pipeline safety, the Commission routinely monitors the utilities’ damage prevention programs to make sure that they are up to date, to identify improvement opportunities, and to ensure that the plans and procedures are in compliance with the Commission’s pipeline safety requirements. Over the past 19 years, these efforts have led to the steady decrease in statewide damages to natural gas facilities per 1,000 notifications; from 6.81 in 2003, to 1.62 damages per 1,000 notifications in 2021, making New York State a national leader.

New York leads in its use of financial incentives and penalties related to pipeline safety. Excavators who damage underground facilities due to the failure to follow the regulations are not only subject to civil penalties, but also are liable for repair and loss of commodity costs. State law exempts excavators from liability for repair costs if the damage is caused by the utility’s or municipality’s failure to comply with the law, such as failure to participate in the one-call notification systems.

OUR VIEW

Etch this in stone: Retire concrete barriers It’s springtime when city officials’ thoughts turn to placing those heavy concrete barriers around Warren Street businesses and restaurants.

We get that there are pros and cons of reinstalling the concrete block barriers to increase the city’s outdoor seating capabilities.

But if Mayor Kamal Johnson and the Common Council decide to allow them, they will be placed wherever they’re approved.

At this time, 26 of the 39 businesses that participated in the Warren Street Seasonal Usage program have ponied up the suggested contribution to offset some of the lost revenue from each contracted parking spot.

Six restaurants and seven retailers have not paid as of last December. Some stores had them and didn’t use the space. If the blocks return, they would be for open dining and the restaurants would be required to pay a mandatory fee.

The community at-large appears divided on the use of the cement barriers. Some say using parking spaces for outdoor seating erodes the city’s meter revenue. Others believe outdoor seating is a welcome augmentation to the city’s allure.

We think the concrete barriers narrow

Warren Street to make traffic move at a slower, safer pace but also make driving more difficult. The blocks offer a form of protection from passing cars so pedestrians can sit and dine outdoors, but they also occupy parking spaces in a business district where parking is at a premium. And there is always a risk that the blocks will damage parked cars that back into them or hit them when pulling out.

The city developed the Seasonal Usage program to help businesses on Warren Street with post-pandemic economic recovery by allowing them to extend storefront operations into the parking lane in front of their shops. Surely, the program has achieved its aims, according to a small sample of Warren Street restaurants and shops that said their customers liked the outdoor arrangement and had a positive impact on their businesses.

With the pandemic in flux, however, and indoor dining safe again, we think the time has come to retire the concrete barriers.

Summer tourism is important to Hudson, but parking is essential to sustain the city’s revenue base. City officials are capable of creating a better system to aid businesses.

An open letter to the city of Hudson Dear Hudson, Sunday marked the 100th day of my second term. When I first took the oath of office on Jan. 1 of 2020, I could have never imagined that our city would be facing a global pandemic, financial crisis and civil unrest, all on top of the issues that already plagued Hudson. I have never been prouder of how our city overcomes adversity. My administration has embraced community partnerships with the understanding that working together is the only way to accomplish the goals we created in 2020. We stand by the slogan “All Hands on Deck.”

That “All Hands on Deck” approach has been evident in all the ways community leaders have stepped up this year to make tangible improvements to our quality of life in Hudson. The Friends of Public Square is taking on efforts with the city to give our 7th Street Park — also known as the Public Square — an overdue and much-needed renovation. Promenade Hill will be finished by the end of May and back open to the public, completing our first DRI project. I know it’s seemed like it’s taken forever, but we are in the home stretch in what will be an ADA-compliant and amazing park with access for all. The Spark of Hudson and the city will be partnering to bring life to Charles Williams Park, an often-forgotten public resource in our city. Our beloved and ever-important waterfront is getting renewed attention, too: With the help of the Hudson Valley Collaborative and members of our community, we’re working on a long-term vision for a park space with improved accessibility, flexibility, and resilience to the next century of climate change.

A key priority this year is protecting our health care workers. No one has had a rougher time over the past two years than those in the

JOHNSON health care field. As they took care of our community, we need to return the favor.

Working conditions at Columbia Memorial Hospital are more unsafe than ever.

Staffing levels are critically low, and low staffing has broad consequences. Because nearly every department of the hospital is understaffed, beds that could be used to treat people are often empty — this means longer wait times for patients and emergency room backlogs.

The administration needs to focus on paying all of our health care workers a fair and deserving wage. Their number-one priority should be to retain the hardworking individuals who have been committed to our community and work hard every day.

The administration needs to meet with the members immediately to increase morale and come to a solution together for this staffing crisis.

Continuing the conversation on health, working groups at the county level have continued to work diligently on making the Wellness Hub initiative come to life. This hub will help address some of the issues not only in Hudson, but the entirety of Columbia County when it comes to mental health services and substance use. The hub will house a detox center, a stabilization center, a 30bed homeless “shelter,” as well as many other mental health and social services.

We are working to find new

and innovative ways for our county to help our neighbors who all too often fall through the cracks of the mental health system.

The Universal Basic Income Pilot, HudsonUP, will be adding 53 new participants this summer, bringing the total to 128 individuals receiving $500 a month over five years. The Hudson Pilot is the first long-term program of its type in the nation.

I knew coming into this position that in order to be effective, my administration would have to touch the lives and prioritize the people who live in our city. Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, we put people first: no one who works for the city was furloughed or laid off due to the pandemic. In fact, we created new positions and grew our team. We added an extension of the Mayor’s office in our Housing Department, and brought in millions of dollars in grants to support projects across the city. All this was done without raising taxes a single dollar, because we know how high taxes have affected our taxpayers.

The best is still yet to come. We have new initiatives that will be announced in the near future, including the formalization of our own housing trust fund. We have accomplished so much in these two fast-moving years, but still have so much more that needs to be done.

There is no way we would have come as far as we have without the help of our community, the city council and Common Council President Tom DePietro, City Treasurer Heather Campbell, my Mayoral Aide Michael Hofmann, our Housing Justice Director Michelle Tullo, all of the city’s commissioners and department heads, and every single city worker. I thank you all.

SINCERELY, KAMAL JOHNSON, MAYOR, CITY OF HUDSON

A not so nice surprise

By Lula Anderson

ASHLAND SPEAKS

For Columbia-Greene Media

Rain, Rain, Go Away, Little Lula wants to play. I have so much to do outside, but the ground is too wet. I had a flooded basement for several days. All of the “privileges” of spring. I did get a lot of my paperwork sorted, and a lot of garbage accumulated. Now on to Holy Week and its requirements.

Imagine my surprise last December when I went to pick up my medicine at the drug store to find out that they no longer accept my insurance and this would be the last time that they would fill it. Then, last week, the same thing happened to my son. Why? Well, it costs too much to process this, and your insurance company has raised the cost to us, etc. etc. So, I asked, what can I do to get my meds that have been prescribed by my doctor and that I need? Well, it’s simple, go to Catskill to the pharmacy and they accept your insurance. Does anyone care that “going to Catskill” is not an easy thing. It’s not a 15 minute trip, but something that has to be planned. We don’t drive down the mountain. Many of the elderly no longer drive down the mountain because of vision or just plain age related reasons. Where do we get our meds? I signed up for mail order, what do others do?

AS I REMEMBER IT While channel surfing last

week, nothing on TV as usual, I found the Nat Geo Wild. The show I settled on was about three different people learning to live in the wilds of Alaska. There was a fisherman, a couple making a rope tow and catching a beaver and a family building a root cellar. Watching these people learning to survive with the challenges they were facing, and the solutions were very interesting.

One of the segments was the family who caught a mink and were skinning it. I thought of the past when my husband was still in the Navy.

We were newlyweds, and my husband was an avid hunter. Every day when he was on leave, he went hunting, but he didn’t get one until his last day home. We were taught that it should be skinned when cold, so he hung this 200 lb. buck in the garage until he could get home the following week.

Unfortunately, it turned warm and the deer had to be skinned immediately. I looked at it, and called my father (if he hadn’t been around, I would have thrown the thing out). My father started skinning, and the fur started flying. We could not get the skin to peel from the meat. There was deer hair on every inch of the deer, on the knife, on the ground, in the air, on our fingers, on our arms and after a few hours, I had some very unkind thoughts about where the hair should be on my dear husband. Now when someone says hunting, I say good for you. I will NEVER AGAIN attempt skinning a deer or any animal.

Many of the founding fathers’ surnames no longer familiar

By Abby and Gabby For Columbia-Greene Media

PRATTSVILLE — As COVID is still around, our medical/ healthcare workers continue to be asked to go above and beyond and we say, “bless you” and thank you for being there for us. Stay safe.

Some local residents — Carol Landers, Skeet and Carol Constable, Bob and Ginny Gurley — were taking advantage of the warm sunny weather one day last week enjoying conversation in the parking lot at Jim’s Great American. They were there so long they were warned they were in danger of being charged with loitering. But learned Carol Landers continues her neighborly good deeds driving her non-driving neighbors around for needed appointments and fun trips. She also offered to buy needed items for veterans who are mothers-to-be. Skeet and Carol Constable gave updates on granddaughters Cassandra and MacKenzie.

Cassandra is in California at a dermatologist’s, MacKenzie is a nurse at St. Peter’s and recently assisted at a birthing.

Prattsville ladies on the move are Kathy Sherman, Shelly Brainard, Joanne Dunphy, Carol Landers, Ginny Kennedy and Arita Jaeger who all enjoyed lunch on Friday at Sundae’s. It is always an enjoyable lunch when these ladies get together.

Legion Post 291 is once again in the process of arranging their Field of Flags display.

If you wish to have a family veteran or veterans honored with a flag display, please contact 518-299-3219 or gurleyrv@gmail.com for a display form to be submitted to Post 291.

Get well wishes are extended to Mosquito Point residents Phyllis Scelzi and Mary Cline. We wish both ladies a speedy recovery.

Enjoyed the West Kill Lexington Community Brunch fundraiser (delicious and wonderful as always) with Marianne and Johannes Krauss. We enjoyed talking to Greene County Historian Jonathan Palmer and local historian Larry Tompkins and lamented the fact that so many of the founding fathers’ surnames are no longer familiar in our area.

So just a reminder from the Deyo Family Association Newsletter: “THE DEYO (DE JOUX) FAMILY STORY. Your story begins in Europe, in France. The Sires de Iou (De Joux) were powerful “Mountain Lords” and date as far back as 1050 A.D. They lived in a fortress called Chateau de Joux, which is perched on a rocky spur in the Jura Mountains 600 feet above the village of La Cluse-et-Mijoux at an elevation of 3050 feet.

The chateau (or castle) overlooks a valley pass on the French-Swiss border. The

De Jouxs charged a toll to people passing from France into Switzerland. In the 1400s the De Jouxs were considered aristocrats who owned farmland, a castle, the passage from France to Switzerland, and oversaw a little village.

They loved their country and fought for their King who sent them to fight in the Crusades.

But around the 1590s trouble began for the De Jouxs. King Louis XIV was an ambitious King and declared that all of France should have one religion — that of Catholicism.

This time period was known as The Reformation.”

Those who can trace their lineage to the Deyos — the Drums of Ashland, Judy Wyckoff of Gilboa and son Patrick Mattice of Prattsville, and the Gurleys, Brainards, Marsh, Cross, Youngs of Prattsville, Margaret Lawrence of Lexington, Laurie Dippold of Spruceton, Glenn Howard, Lexington.

Happy Birthday to June Hermance on April 17. Happy Birthday to next door neighbor Brianna Irwin on April 18. Randy Brainerd is wished a Happy Birthday on April 20. Happy Birthday to Waylon Koerner-Fox on April 22, great-grandson of Linda Cross-Jaeger. A very Happy Anniversary to Jane and Joe Concato on April 22.

Introducing the Greenville Seed Library GREENVILLE — Do you have a delicious tomato variety that your great-aunt used to grow? Or a bean variety that does great in our unpredictable weather of the Northeast? You can save and bring those seeds to the seed library at the Greenville Library. My hope is to get our community involved in saving and sharing heirloom flower and vegetable seeds in a seed library.

What is the purpose of a seed library? Seeds from the plant world are an essential part of our existence here on this planet. Without them, we would not have much of the things many of us consume on a daily basis. There are hundreds of thousands of varieties of seeds on our planet, and each time we save a seed, we are saving the genetic information of a variety of plant that can successfully live in our type of environment.

When we go to a big box store and buy seeds or plants, we are not always buying an open pollinated, heirloom variety that is true to the type of seed it will produce. It is important to be sure that we buy, non-GMO, heirloom, organic varieties that you can collect seeds from. Smaller growers and companies that are dedicated to practicing safe and sound growing principles are the places you want to get seeds and plants.

Here is an example of what saving seeds could look like.

I plant 10 calendula flowers (a good remedy for all kinds of health ailments) during a very hot and dry season that had an unusually high infestation of flea beetles. All of the plants seemed to suffer under the environmental stress, except for one plant that grew strong, and vibrant, despite the conditions. I would be sure to harvest only a few flowers from that plant and let them mature to produce seeds to save. I want those strong genetics to live on in the seed that I save. It is important to save seeds so that we may help nature ensure the survival of plant varieties, that will in turn, help all living beings survive, and thrive, on this beautiful planet. Every Fall when I harvest seeds, I am blown away by the tremendous generosity of Mother Nature. That single seed I planted in the spring, has now produced dozens, if not hundreds, of seeds for me to save and plant in the future. I am humbled every day by the generosity of Nature.

I am interested in keeping seed varieties alive that thrive in this climate of the Northeast. After traveling the world for many years with my Husband Peter and our daughter Bella, we have made our home here in Freehold. I have made it one of my goals

THE PUBLIC NEEDS THE TRUTH; NOT SOCIAL MEDIA HEADLINES & FAKE NEWS. #SupportRealNews

to learn about, and grow as many different plants from seed in my greenhouse. I love the learning process of growing different seed varieties to help them thrive.

I have decided to share the seeds I’ve saved with the Greene County community.

Along with Barbara Flach, Director of the Greenville Library, fellow farmer Jackie Spencer and Members of the Clematis Garden Club, Terry Buel, Diana Marshall and Deb Teator, we have begun the process of establishing the seed catalog. My hope is that these seeds and those of the community will get into the hands (and gardens) of people who will ensure the success of future seed generations.

We are asking for people that would like to help with this project. We need help packaging and cataloging seeds and growing information in the old card catalog of the Greenville Library. We will have a place at the Greenville Library for people to drop off their seeds and write a little info about the variety, or to sign up and volunteer with this project. Please join me in this important project of saving and sharing seeds for the people who love and depend on them. You can contact me Ashley Jensen at surprisehillfarm@gmail.com

He was an avid hunter, he enjoyed collecting antique firearms and because of his welding experience and knowledge he applied that talent to creating reloads.

Electric vehicles, not luxury cars, dominate the New York auto show

By Hannah Elliott, Kyle Stock Bloomberg

The auto show, expected after two years of lockdowns to drive off into an irrelevant sunset, isn’t dead yet. Following the vibrant Munich auto show in the fall, the New York International Auto Show will open to the public on Friday, April 15, at Manhattan’s Javits Center and will run through April 24.

The format is more compelling than in years past, given the supply chain crisis that has severely delayed deliveries to dealerships, not to mention markups as high as $100,000 over manufacturer’s suggested retail price for luxury cars and SUVs. In New York, automakers will showcase new vehicles that even the most neurotic car-spotters have read about only in glossy magazines or seen on YouTube. Thousands have placed orders for such new cars, sight unseen, and resigned themselves, as in the case with General Motors’ Hummer EV, for yearslong waits.

This week, they’ll at least be able to kick the tires.

“Auto shows are still highly relevant in the same way that dealerships are still highly relevant,” says Erin Kerrigan, founder and managing director of Kerrigan Advisors, a consulting firm. “Consumers still like to touch and feel a new car before they purchase it.”

Electric vehicles will command the spotlight’s primary glare this week in New York.

Some of them will come from such obscure companies as INDI EV and ElectraMeccanica, but Detroit’s heavyweight pickups will hold top billing.

Ford Motor Co’s F-150 Lightning, revealed via video feed almost a year ago, will appear just weeks before its first deliveries. Prospective buyers can eyeball just how many White Claws they might be able to fit in the front trunk, or figure out how they might go about plugging the rig into their home in a blackout.

General Motors, in turn, will showcase the electric version of its Chevrolet Silverado EV, a rig first unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. It’s not due out until 2023, so expect GM to pull out all the stops to pique interest among the e-truck crowd in order to slow the momentum of Ford’s electric pickup.

Nissan, meanwhile, will play up its coming electric SUV, the Ariya. The brand’s humble battery-powered hatchback, the Leaf - for years the everyman’s Tesla - has

The Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup will be a show-stopper this year at the auto show. This year, Ford’s chief executive officer boosted the company’s bet on plug-in models by more than a third, to $30 billion.

been overtaken by rivals. The Ariya is Nissan’s chance to regain some of its EV street cred. Production issues have delayed the machine for months, and this week will give Americans one of few opportunities to see the vehicle before it ships to dealers in the fall.

Hyundai may present one of the show’s few surprises.

The company promises to unveil a new production vehicle, although it wouldn’t provide details. The company aims to sell 1.7 million electric vehicles in 2026, so the bet is that whatever is under the cover, it will be powered by a big lithium-ion battery.

Hyundai will also show its Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, recently released electric models that are still rare on the road. (Both rigs are commanding steep markups over sticker price.)

By June, according to BloombergNEF estimates, the world will have 20 million plug-in vehicles on its streetsa remarkable jump from 1 million EVs in 2016. In the second half of 2022, almost one million EVs will hit the road worldwide per month, according to BNEF estimates.

That’s one every 3 seconds.

“We are now transitioning from the halo EV cars to more mass-produced EVs, which can be afforded by anybody,” says Jesse Toprak, the chief analyst for Autonomy, an EVsubscription service. “So we are going to see an influx of the EV-curious consumers at the show who want to see what is out there now. Even [for] consumers who may have ignored the EV market so far, eventually it’s going to be too hard to ignore.”

Still, the amount of news breaking announcements at such trade shows faded long before lockdowns, especially for luxury brands. They figured out years ago that pulling the cover off the new German utility vehicle with pyrotechnics and Arnold Schwarzenegger in a crumbling Detroit theater, or launching the newest Italian supercar in a posh private lounge, commands far better buzz than a carpeted conference center.

This week’s trade show will be light on anything novel from the posher automakers.

Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, Cadillac, Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, and Volvo will not be unveiling anything new.

Alfa Romeo will show a new Tonale hybrid SUV. BMW will display its new X7 SUV and i7 electric sedan that follows the iX SUV and i4 sport coupe it unveiled last fall. MercedesBenz is officially skipping the show but will debut the allnew electric EQS days later, on April 19. Lincoln chose to debut its new electric model on April 20 in Hollywood, Calif.

Lamborghini, meanwhile, will show a new variant of the existing Huracan supercar, the Huracan Tecnica, both at its private studio space along Manhattan’s High Line and at the Javits Center. The mix of elite and egalitarian access best serves the brand that enjoys sales in the U.S. that are more than twice as high as those in its next-biggest market, China.

“The U.S. is our most important market, and if we look at the share we have inside the U.S., it’s clear New York is a place we have to be,” says

President Chester Arthur Spring/Easter bake sale enjoys his vacation at the at Pratt Museum Hotel Kaaterskill

By Chris Dwon

For Columbia-Greene Media

By Dede Terns-Thorpe For Columbia-Greene Media

“DO YOU REMEMBER.” This information was taken from a March 1950 news article found in a Kingston Daily Freeman. Thank you to all the Sophie Miller’s that brought little tidbits of history to our attention, especially in the pre-computer days.

Miller told about a United States President, Chester A. Arthur (1839-1886), who came to visit and vacation at the Hotel Kaaterskill back in 1884. The President visited the surrounding areas in the Catskills but stayed at length at the brand new Kaaterskill.

Below are bits and pieces from Miller’s story.

President Arthur became the 21st President of the United States within four months of his election as vice president. He was the vice president for President Garfield, assassinated soon after his March 4, 1881, inauguration.

(The 20th amendment, ratified in January 1933, changed the President’s inauguration date from March 4 to January 20.)

It was Aug. 9, 1884, when President Arthur arrived in Kingston. One source used by Miller said that it was about 10 p.m. when Mayor Bray, President Arthur, and other city officials left City Hall in carriages and proceeded to the residence of General Sharpe (now the Governor Clinton Annex Building). After arriving, they were ushered into his large parlor, where each was introduced to President Arthur by Mayor Bray. The President was very social and greeted each one with a pleasant smile and a warm grasp of the hand. He showed his humor with the following, “After shaking hands with Colonel Flynn, the jolly and portly Alderman from the Fifth Ward, the President smiling, and remarked, my countrymen, seem to predominate in your council in weight as well as in numbers.”

After a short time at General Sharpe’s residence, Miller went on to say that they left by train for the Stony Clove.

In Phoenicia, George Coykendall, Superintendent of the railroad, took charge. It was a lively run; people were applauding, shouting and holding decorations. It was there

that the weather turned bad.

Miller said the rain cleared just before entering Chichesterville (now called Chichester), where a salute was fired and friendly cheers were shouted to the President.

Miller said the President was excited by the magnificent mountains in the Stony Clove, rising on both sides of the track. Along the route, flags and banners were flown to greet the President. Again, the Presidential party arrived at Hotel Kaaterskill at 12:40 a.m. to applause and excitement. (It took less than two hours by train to arrive at the hotel from Kingston).

The New York Times from September 1884 tells us that the daily routine of most of the President’s party was to have an early breakfast and then spend most of the day walking and rowing on one of the pretty lakes. Joining them were George Harding’s daughter, Emily, and General Sharpe (Civil War) from President Arthur’s party.

The President often remained in his room until 2 p.m., going through mail, and working with his secretary, F. J. Phillips. He then went out for a three-hour ride in Mr. George Harding’s private team. At 6:30, the President and his party of 12 would sit for dinner, followed by an hour’s chat with the women.

He’d finish his day with a cigar on the Kaaterskill’s porch.

One sunny morning President Arthur, who had

accepted an invitation at Mrs. Roggen’s Hotel in Tannersville, stopped at Roggen’s (presently at the north/east side of today’s traffic light).

After stopping in nearby Tannersville, he was greeted by many residents; having the President of the United States in the Town of Hunter was exciting. From Tannersville, they rode into the Village of Hunter, joining a large reception given for the President at the Hunter House. The old and the young sang out; He’s a Jolly Good Fellow, and The Red, White, and Blue.

The N.Y. Times article said, The President was pleased by these acts of attention and friendship, and it was such a delightful trip that he would remember it for years. (Sadly, Arthur didn’t have years, he died from kidney disease within two years after his vacation in the mountains).

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle of June 3, 1906, said that President Arthur had gained a general perspective of the mountains by taking the train at Haines Corners and traveling an outer circle by Stamford.

This circuit covered about 100 miles and teemed with interest at every point. President Arthur visited the Grand Hotel and other sections of the southern Catskills.

Thank you again to Sophie Miller for working to save the local history.

And thank you for reading.

Happy Easter.

State Parks, DEC and PTNY encourage New Yorkers to sign up for the 11th annual ‘I Love My Park’ Day on May 7 ALBANY — The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (State Parks), the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), and Parks & Trails New York (PTNY) announced that registration is now open for the 11th annual I Love My Park Day, which will be held on May 7, 2022, at state parks, historic sites and public lands across New York. This statewide event, sponsored by PTNY, State Parks, and DEC, is a is a volunteer initiative to enhance parks, historic sites and public lands and raise awareness and visibility to the state outdoor recreation assets and their needs.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in cleanup events at nearly 150 state parks, historic sites and public lands from Long Island to Western New York and covering all regions in between, including sites operated by the Department of Environmental Conservation and municipal parks. Registration for I Love My Park Day can be completed here.

Parks & Trails New York Executive Director Robin Dropkin said, “In the last two years New Yorkers have flocked to parks in record numbers for respite and recreation. I Love My Park Day offers these park users a way to give back to the places that have been there for them, and we anticipate

thousands of New Yorkers will turn out to give back to the green spaces they love.”

State Parks Commissioner Erik Kulleseid said, “Our volunteers are crucial to making our park system a success and thanks to our partners at Parks & Trails New York, I Love My Park Day continues to offer amazing opportunities to celebrate the stewardship of the outdoors. I look forward to welcoming new and returning volunteers to help improve our parks and communities.”

State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos said, “I Love My Park Day is an excellent opportunity for New Yorkers to get outdoors and cultivate the next generation of environmental stewards helping to maintain and preserve the natural beauty of our State lands. These resources belong to all of us, our families, and our neighbors, and working together we can all do our part to protect our State parks, historic sites, and public lands for future generations to cherish and enjoy.”

Volunteers will celebrate New York’s public lands by cleaning up debris, planting trees and gardens, restoring trails and wildlife habitats, removing invasive species and working on various site improvement projects.

Participants are encouraged to Love Our New York

April is National Gardening Skydiving event to raise funds and awareness for autism Month: Time to prune POMONA — According to the US Department of Agriculture, April is National Gardening Month. Many people await the arrival of spring specifically so they can begin to work in their gardens. One of the first tasks is to see what might need pruning.

Just like gardeners need to get their tools and supplies ready for the spring growing season, so should they take stock of which plants need to be cut back. Pruning in spring is a great opportunity to cut out dead, diseased or dying stems, and to reshape shrubs that have gotten overgrown and unwieldy. A good “haircut” also makes way for new growth and helps to encourage more flowers, foliage and colorful stems on a wide range of plants.

Plants that flower on the same year’s growth such as lavender, fuchsias, buddleia and ornamental grasses can be pruned almost to ground level before they put energy into new growth. Earlyspring bloomers like lilac, forsythia and rhododendron produce flowers on wood formed the previous year and should be pruned immediately after they finish blooming. If you prune them

later in the growing season or during winter, you’ll remove flower buds and decrease the amount of spring bloom.

Treat roses that bloom only once per year the same as other spring-blooming shrubs, by pruning after they finish blooming. Repeat bloomers, including hybrid teas, floribundas and grandifloras, are pruned mostly to shape the plant or to remove winter-damaged canes. If they become overgrown, cut them back in early spring.

Hedges of beech and cherry laurel as well as boxwood topiaries are best pruned after they have leafed out in early spring. This gives them the form in which they will grow for the season. Since many evergreens only have new growth on the tips of branches, wait to prune them until after new growth for the year is complete. Then it will have the whole growing season to form new buds for growing and filling in next year.

Young fruit trees should be pruned as soon as buds form in order to form them into their desired shape and allow their energy to be devoted to making fruit. Perennial herbs like rosemary, oregano and

sage grow leggy and woody over time and benefit from being pruned in spring as growth begins.

Tips on Pruning Correctly Use high quality pruning tools that have been cleaned and sharpened since the previous season. We recommend by pass pruners which work like a scissor rather than an anvil pruner which tend to squash the branch rather than make a clean cut.

Remove all dead, diseased or damaged stems as they attract insects and invite diseases to develop. Also remove crossing branches, water sprouts and suckers.

Cut just above a node where the leaves, buds and shoots emerge from the stem.

This way you can manipulate new growth to form in a desired direction, as nodes form on different sides of a stem.

It’s important to cut at a downwards angle, so rainwater runs quickly off the wound. Cutting flat runs the risk of infections entering the plant, creating ideal conditions for fungi to take hold.

After pruning, mulch plants with a generous layer of garden compost or wellrotted manure, to give them a boost.

FASNY’s RecruitNY Campaign returns for 13th year April 23 and 24 ALBANY — Volunteer fire departments across New York will open their doors on April 23 and April 24 as part of the 13th annual RecruitNY weekend. RecruitNY is a signature initiative designed to help increase membership in local volunteer fire departments.

The number of volunteer firefighters has decreased significantly in recent years due to a variety of factors.

This year celebrates the 150th Anniversary of the Firefighters Association of the State of New York (FASNY). FASNY has worked hard throughout its history to develop and implement events to assist New York’s 1,700-plus volunteer fire departments to recruit new volunteers. This includes utilizing federal and state grant funds for programs such as the “Fire in You” outreach campaign, the FASNY HELP college tuition reimbursement program, and recruitment training classes.

“We are happy that several hundred volunteer departments will be participating in our 13th annual RecruitNY campaign. We invite all New Yorkers to attend an open house and experience what it means to be a volunteer firefighter,” said FASNY President John Farrell. “RecruitNY weekend can provide people with the opportunity to interact with the responders who are dedicated to protecting them.”

Members of the public are invited to visit their local firehouses, either virtually or in person. Departments will have many activities planned including conducting tours of their facilities, demonstrating firefighting techniques, and having visitors try on turnout gear. These types of activities give visitors a taste of what it means to be in the fire service.

Volunteer firefighters will also be on hand to discuss the requirements and rewards of joining. All are welcome and

encouraged to attend, including families with children.

The past several years have been especially challenging for volunteer fire departments throughout New York and many are faced with decreased membership and increased call volume. The need to bolster their ranks is critical to providing optimum and expected levels of protection for their residents. Last year, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many firehouses across New York State chose to organize a virtual open house or conduct other digital outreach to attract new volunteers.

Individuals looking to find out if their fire department is participating in RecruitNY can visit http://www.recruitny.org/participation-area/.

For specific information, contact your local volunteer fire department via a nonemergency phone number or its website.

This well-known comedydrama that has played all around the world, was created into an award winning film which inspired a TV series incited by these beloved characters.

Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling is based on the real life story of his sister and their experiences growing up in a small Louisiana town.

Set at Truvy’s beauty shop where anyone who is anybody gets their hair done, we meet a colorful group of women who are all sass, a little brass and filled with love.

But those bonds of friendship and family are tested when the ladies face a lifechanging event.

Infused with heart and humor, Steel Magnolias is a hilarious story of love, loss, and enduring friendships. As the title suggests, these women are as delicate as magnolias but tough as steel.

The cast includes many Upstage alumni: Christine Abitabile as Clairee, Cathy Lee-Visscher as Truvy, Eileen Maloy as Ouiser, Nicole Molinski as Shelby, Michele Pierro as M’Lynn and Candace Wood as Annelle.

Businesses from Albany to Hudson, Cobleskill to Cohoes: Capital Region BOCES is a great partner to build the regional economy ALBANY — Capital Region provides a “pipeline” of skilled workers that supports the regional economy.

So said several employers in the midst of recruiting season at the Career and Technical School.

From manufacturing operations to healthcare facilities, welding shops to video game design operations, Career and Technical School students are the fuel by which businesses and, as a result, the economies grow.

“We hire a number of BOCES graduates and have more here for internships and work-based learning.

What they have in common is a better grasp of the basics, the building blocks of what it takes to succeed,” said Bob Rowe, parts manager for Robert H. Finke and Sons, Inc., Contractors Equipment in Selkirk, N.Y. “BOCES is a terrific partner for Callanan. Their curriculum is aligned with the skill set that Callanan is looking for,” added April Clas of Callanan Industries.

BOCES’ approximately 40 high school and adult education programs provide the skilled labor training so desperately sought in this postCOVID economy, as well as the professional skills – such as communication, problem solving, time management

and budgeting – that make employees well rounded and successful.

BOCES also works with dozens of industry organizations in order to provide students with professional certifications. In total, more than 100 professional, resume-building certifications are offered in various career and technical school programs Employers said they know career and technical school students will be well-rounded employees that benefit their institutions.

“I look at BOCES as a longterm solution to recruiting young laborers and skilled workers and having them train and progress and become equipment operators with us,” added Casey Balzer, assistant branch manager for Kamco. Kamco is one of the largest commercial and residential building material suppliers in New York and across the country.

“We hired three people last year from the job fair and they are magnificent.

Wonderful workers who were well prepared for the workforce when they graduated from BOCES,” added Cherie Bruno of Pine Haven Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

“By partnering with BOCES, we now feel like we have

access to a growing pipeline of young people who can be potential employees,” added Patrisia Sheremeta, human resources manager for Greno Industrious.

Capital Region BOCES partners with approximately 300 business, union and education partners to provide these career opportunities for students, while also ensuring students receive the training required for the careers of today and tomorrow.

A March 30 career fair on the Schoharie Campus led to several interviews and potential job offers for students as did an April 6 event on the Career and Technical School, Albany Campus.

During another event on May 4, employers from a variety of industries will be on hand at the Capital Region BOCES administrative building to recruit students during an event that runs from 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. The building is located at 900 Watervliet-Shaker Road, Albany, NY 12205.

Additionally, a recruiting event for employers in the healthcare industry looking to hire students in the Capital Region BOCES Adult Health Careers program will take place May 25. Details of the event are still being determined.

New York State Smokers’ Quitline launches ‘Learn2QuitNY’ comprehensive text program BUFFALO — The New York State Smokers’ Quitline (Quitline) recently unveiled a resource to help tobacco and electronic nicotine product users take control of their health. Learn2QuitNY, a free comprehensive six-week text program, provides step-bystep guidance for New York State residents to learn and practice skills that promote freedom from nicotine dependence. Residents can enroll by visiting nysmokefree.com/ text.

A team of clinicians, researchers and computer programmers with Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (Roswell Park) developed Learn2QuitNY to include daily texts that support weekly goals. The Quitline

first offered text alerts in the early 2010s and now provides Learn2QuitNY as an enhanced interactive experience for clients who prefer guidance and support at their fingertips.

Clients can use the program by itself or in combination with the Quitline’s many other services, including telephone support, online coach chat and self-help materials at nysmokefree.com.

“Learn2QuitNY is based on an effective tobacco cessation treatment manual and guides clients step-by-step through the quitting process,” said Dr. Christine Sheffer, professor of oncology and health behavior at Roswell Park, who leads the program’s development team.

“Many texts include links to detailed information on topics

of concern such as weight gain while quitting, how to be around others who use tobacco, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and more.”

Quit Coaches are available seven days a week at 1-866-NY-QUITS (1-866-6978487) and nysmokefree.com to empower clients with developing quit-plans, navigating triggers and using medications to help them achieve freedom from nicotine. Most New York State residents also are eligible to receive a free starter supply of NRT via mail, typically in the form of nicotine patches, nicotine gum or nicotine lozenges. When used as instructed and in combination, NRT products can double or triple the odds for success.

DEC announces funding available to improve water quality and habitat, bolster flood resiliency in Hudson River Estuary watershed ALBANY — New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos announced approximately $130,000 in funding is now available to help communities in the Hudson River Estuary watershed improve water quality, increase flood resiliency, and conserve natural resources. The grants will help municipalities document constrictions that cause flooding at culverts and bridges and are barriers to fish movement in Hudson tributary streams. The grants are supported by the State’s Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) and administered by DEC’s Hudson River Estuary Program in partnership with New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC).

“Through DEC’s ongoing partnership with NEIWPCC, we are advancing projects that will help Hudson River estuary watershed communities develop plans to improve infrastructure where roads cross streams to reduce flooding, restore stream habitat, and improve water quality,” Commissioner Seggos said. “Supported by the

State’s recently increased Environmental Protection Fund, New York is making record investments in these and other efforts that boost resiliency and protect New York’s water quality and natural resources.”

Susan Sullivan, NEIWPCC Executive Director said, “In a year when NEIWPCC is celebrating the 50 years of the Clean Water Act and NEIWPCC’s 75th anniversary, we are pleased to partner with DEC to help communities improve water quality in tributary streams to the Hudson River Estuary. A healthy estuary requires a healthy watershed.”

In the 2022-23 Enacted State Budget, Governor Hochul succeeded in increasing the EPF from $300 to $400 million, the highest-ever level of funding in the program’s history. The EPF supports climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts, improves agricultural resources to promote sustainable agriculture, protects our water sources, advances conservation efforts, and provides recreational opportunities for New Yorkers.

The $130,000 in grant

funding announced today will support the development of regional municipal management plans and designs to improve inadequate road-stream crossings focused on priority sites for flood mitigation and/ or stream habitat for fish in multiple municipalities. In 2021, DEC in partnership with NEIWPCC awarded nearly $100,000 to T&B Engineering to develop municipal management plans for roadstream crossings and dams in the towns of Red Hook and Milan, Dutchess County. The plans include all crossings in both towns, building on the 148 previously inventoried culverts, including the roadstream crossings located within the portions of the watersheds of nine tributary creeks.

The deadline for proposals is noon June 10. The “Restoration of Watershed Connectivity and Improved Road Infrastructure” Request For Proposals (RFP) with application requirements and instructions is available on NEIWPCC’s website. General information about the RFP can be found on the DEC website.

‘Ambulance’ an entertaining, exhausting chase movie

By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

The new Michael Bay movie, “Ambulance,” is upon us, almost entirely unsheathed in the disguise of a moving recruitment poster. Bay’s previous movies, namely “Armageddon,” “Pearl Harbor” and the “Transformer” epics, served as UNIVERSAL PICTURES/TNS enormous product placement ads for, respectively, NASA, the Jake Gyllenhaal (left) and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, in “Ambulance,” directed by Michael Bay. Navy and Army Special Forces.

“Ambulance,” to the contrary, has a more modest aim lived in. The frontier between the movie’s many coincidences, — depict the ingenuity of emer- comfort and criminals has col- Danny and his gang are plangency medical technicians and lapsed, and it is in the tight spac- ning to rob a bank of $32 million the advanced medical technol- es of fast-moving vehicles where and they need a getaway driver.

The thorn in Danny’s scheme ogy of the modern, life-saving the movie stirs.

The heist goes lethally er ranks, but the film is a relent- veteran who wife has cancer awry and the cop is wounded in less, surprisingly entertaining and needs an experimental a firefight that spills out onto the heist thriller photographed with treatment. But at $250,000, it’s street. Danny and Will hijack an a dizzying, topsy-turvy spin that too expensive and Will’s health ambulance to escape, but they manages to circumvent its story care plan won’t cover it. So he end up with two hostages — the turns to his adoptive brother cop and Cam Thompson (Eiza lapses.

Also causing trouble are Capt.

Martinez), Danny’s mobster kingpin, and a dangerous one to boot. Most enticing is Gonzalez, window dressing in “Baby Driver” and “Godzilla vs.

Kong,” who, from start to finish, provides “Ambulance” with it sole flourishes of indisputable heart and gravity.

Bay’s movie is, like its forerunners, a hybrid. The hyperbolic firefights and chase sequences make way for such classic gangster-movie tropes as brothers whose lives take different trajectories — Danny the self-indulgent criminal, Will the hero who puts others first.

Sadly, as the story proceeds, Bay ducks these concepts and picks a more slam-bang path, which puts “Ambulance” to the test of being even bigger and louder.

“We don’t get to walk off into the sunset!” Will says. Neither does the movie.

Furniture is moved, walls painted, cupboards built. Amid all the hustle and bustle, secret longings and desires come to the surface and coalesce around the roommates as well as around Lisa’s mother Astrid, the movers, the girls’ old neighbors, the neighbors’ cat, Lisa’s new neighbor, and an everexpanding cast of characters. Day turns into night and one final party in the apartment. When the last box is moved, the fragments of their lives remain. The Zürcher brothers compose a poetic panopticon of human relationships that is, at once, a study of everyday life, a fairytale, and a psychological portrait of a brittle world. Following The Strange Little Cat, The Girl and the Spider is the second installment in a trilogy about human togetherness, a ballad about the need for closeness and the pain of separation.

moving to Rotterdam. She began working for New York State in 2007, and was a supervisor for the Department of Taxation and Finance in Latham at the time of her death.

The fatal crash occurred at about 12:20 a.m. on Hamburg Street near Chism Street, when Lopez’s pickup truck crashed head-on into Slaven’s car.

Slaven was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lopez was airlifted to Albany Medical Center following the crash.

During the trial, Carney argued that Lopez was both reckless and utterly indifferent to the welfare of other users of the road. He was driving a truck with a motorcycle on board that combined weighed close to three tons.

He was driving on a main artery in Rotterdam just after midnight on the day following Halloween where the speed limit is 35 mph. He hit speeds of more than 90 mph and increased his speed from 93 mph to 94 mph at impact as shown

provide. The money just passes through the state. So fast forward all of these years and every year the fourth quarter has not been reconciled. So counties are starting to say, ‘Hey, where’s our money?’ So counties started to file FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) with a state agency to get a county record that is public. At first the state balked and then they finally acquiesced and started to provide actual data.

So the state’s own response to us is that they owe us over $2 million.”

Groden said the county is still seeking answers as to why the state is holding onto the funding.

“Why they haven’t paid is the question,” he said. “We don’t really get a straight answer as to why they’re holding these funds up. I believe that (Senator Charles) Schumer has called on the state to release the money and there’s no reason why they haven’t.

Pretty much every county in the state has submitted FOIA requests to get an understanding of how much is owed. It’s

huge, $2 million is a lot of money.”

On Saturday, Hochul signed the approved $220 billion budget into law. At a Greene County Legislature County Services Committee meeting Monday night, Greene County Social Services Commissioner Kira Pospesel detailed to the legislature how the newly passed 2023 budget would affect the county Department of Social Services.

Pospesel said more than 82% of the department’s $13.1 million budget is tied up in Medicaid expenses.

“I can do nothing with it,” she told lawmakers. “I can’t move any of that, we’re stuck.

That is what we pay. That goes up every single year. Out of $13.1 million, you take that out, it’s $9.1 million, and I’m down to $4 million. I do all of the other divisions with $4 million.”

Pospesel said the state is not increasing its rental assistance program. She said that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program food stamp benefits are the highest she’s ever seen in her career due to the effects of the pandemic.

by the collision data recorder in his truck, Carney said.

Lopez began moving into the oncoming lane 900 feet up the road in a steering maneuver that had nothing to do with Slaven’s car and was fully in the oncoming lane when he struck her car head-on after Slaven turned left from Chism Street onto Hamburg Street, Carney said.

The collision data recorder showed that the brakes were not activated until .5-tenths of a second before impact, explaining why Lopez’s speed increased into impact, Carney said.

“Lopez caused this accident while impaired by alcohol, measured once at .20 and a second time at .19, and high on marijuana and cocaine,” Carney said.

In his guilty verdicts, Judge Matthew J. Sypniewski found that Lopez caused the death of Amanda Slaven while engaged in reckless driving and impaired by alcohol and drugs, Carney said. Sypniewski also found that Lopez had a blood alcohol content above the level of .18, having a previous conviction for DWI within 10 years and while driving with a revoked license.

“However one feels about that, that’s going to stop in June, we’re being told,” she said during the meeting. “But think about what’s happening when you go in the grocery store right now. We’re all experiencing high inflation and the prices are incredible when you pick up a piece of meat.”

Pospesel said that there is expanded Medicaid income eligibility for seniors and disabled individuals in the newly approved budget and that there is no change to the local administrative Medicaid cap.

“The Medicaid one is really the most complicated one and we need to keep our eye on that,” Pospesel said. “There’s some thought that once COVID ends and we stop getting the second FMAP (Federal Medical Assistance Percentage) and the rules change, that a lot of people should be taken off those rolls. I’m thinking we may not see that here in Greene. There’s jobs available but I’m not seeing employers offering health insurance that you can get under Medicaid.”

Pospesel told lawmakers that the state budget overall was not positive for the Greene County Department of Social Services.

“We are so excited to have this funding so that we can implement the ideas we’ve been talking about internally, researching and exploring with our team of advisers for years,” Thomas Cole National Historic Site Executive Director Betsy Jacks said in a statement.

“There is so much work to do,” Jacks said. “Historic sites serve the living and therefore must evolve in order to address the most important needs of our time.

Sypniewski did not explain his verdict of not guilty on the charge of depraved murder, nor was he required to because he was rendering a verdict as a jury would, Carney said.

Lopez faces a maximum sentence of 8 1/3 to 25 years on the three charges of aggravated vehicular homicide, which are class B nonviolent felonies.

Sentencing is scheduled for May 31 at 10:30 a.m., Carney said.

Slaven was buried at a graveside committal service Nov. 7, 2020, at noon in Park View Cemetery in Schenectady. the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Thomas Cole National Historic Site will create new installations in the historic home that shine a light on the important histories of two 19th-century women of very different backgrounds who lived here and have fascinating stories to tell.

“This is just one step in the all-encompassing initiative that we call ‘Full House,’ which calls for rethinking and rebuilding our whole organization, addressing both the forward-facing elements and the internal operations.

It took a whole, diverse community to create American visual culture, and historic sites can lead the way in showing that diversity in action, operating and interacting through time.”

MLB roundup: Yankees end losing streak to Blue Jays Field Level Media

Aaron Hicks hit a two-run homer and Nestor Cortes combined with four relievers on a five-hitter as New York ended a five-game home losing streak to Toronto with a 4-0 victory on Tuesday.

DJ LeMahieu had two hits and also scored on a throwing error as the Yankees beat the Blue Jays at home for just the third time in 12 meetings since the start of last season. Cortes went 4 1/3 innings and allowed three hits, struck out five and walked none.

Toronto’s Yusei Kikuchi (0-1) allowed three runs – two earned – on five hits in 3 1/3 innings. He struck out two, walked two and threw 84 pitches in his debut for the Blue Jays.

Guardians 10, Reds 5 Cleveland Guardians ace Shane Bieber teased fans with a possible no-hitter, but it was an improbable two-run homer by Andres Gimenez in the ninth inning that was the difference in a 10-5 victory over host Cincinnati on Tuesday in the Reds’ 146th home opener.

Gimenez, who batted .218 last season for Cleveland, blasted a home run off reliever Hunter Strickland (0-1) in the ninth inning to break a 4-4 tie.

Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez later followed with his third career grand slam to turn the game into a rout. Reliever Trevor Stephan (1-0) earned the victory by pitching a scoreless eighth inning.

Bieber took a no-hitter into the sixth but wound up allowing three runs on two hits and two walks in 5 1/3 innings. Cincinnati got a tworun homer from Tyler Naquin, while starter Tyler Mahle yielded four runs (one earned) in four innings.

Giants 13, Padres 2 Brandon Belt hit a two-run homer, Alex Cobb won his San Francisco debut and the reigning National League West champs bombed Yu Darvish and visiting San Diego.

Giants coach Alyssa Nakken became the first woman to coach on a Major League Baseball field in a regular-season game when she replaced ejected first-base coach Antoan Richardson in the third inning.

The Giants’ Wilmer Flores went 3-for-5 with a homer, three runs and two RBIs. Thairo Estrada and Belt each had two hits and scored twice; Estrada also drove in three.

Red Sox 5, Tigers 3 Rafael Devers had three hits, two runs scored and two RBIs, and Garrett Whitlock pitched four innings of scoreless relief as visiting Boston rallied past Detroit.

Enrique Hernandez had two doubles, scored two runs and drove in another for the Red Sox, who rallied from a 3-0 deficit after dropping the series opener 3-1 on Monday. Red Sox starter Rich Hill, 42, allowed three runs on five hits in 4 1/3 innings to begin his third stint with the franchise.

Javier Baez had an RBI double for Detroit and Spencer Torkelson delivered his first major league hit in the third inning. The Tigers were limited to five hits.

Rays 9, A’s 8 (10) Manuel Margot’s single drove home Wander Franco in the

New York Yankees starting pitcher Nestor Cortes (65) pitches in the first inning against against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday.

bottom of the 10th inning to give Tampa Bay a walk-off win over Oakland in St. Petersburg, Fla. Franco, who has 11 hits through the first five games, was on base after driving in Brandon Lowe with a double off Lou Trivino (0-1).

Ryan Thompson (1-0) got the win despite giving up Billy McKinney’s RBI single in the top of the 10th.

Brandon Lowe, Ji-Man Choi and Brett Phillips homered for the Rays, while Jed Lowrie went deep for the A’s.

White Sox 3, Mariners 2 Luis Robert hit a go-ahead home run off rookie Matt Brash in the sixth inning and Chicago celebrated its home opener with a win over Seattle.

Reynaldo Lopez (1-0) pitched 1 2/3 innings for the victory. Liam Hendriks allowed a run in the ninth before striking out Mitch Haniger with two runners on for his first save. Chicago has won three straight since an Opening Day loss to the Detroit Tigers.

Seattle lost its third straight despite an impressive major league debut by Brash (0-1), who allowed two runs on four hits over 5 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out six.

Cubs 2, Pirates 1 Seiya Suzuki homered twice and Chicago held on to spoil Pittsburgh’s home opener.

Suzuki continued his strong start to his first season in the major leagues after starring in Japan. He was 2-for-4, making him 5-for-12 with three homers and eight RBIs through four games.

Chicago left-hander Drew Smyly (1-0), in his Cubs debut, pitched five scoreless innings and gave up three hits, with one strikeout and no walks. Bryan Reynolds homered in the eighth for the Pirates.

Angels 4, Marlins 3 Tyler Wade scored from third base on Max Stassi’s infield grounder in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting Los Angeles to a win over Miami in Anaheim, Calif.

The Angels’ Anthony Rendon (sixth inning) and the Marlins’ Jazz Chisholm Jr. (seventh inning) matched each other with two-run homers to make the score 3-3, setting up the hosts’ opportunity in the ninth inning.

Andrew McCutchen drove in three runs on two hits to fuel visiting Milwaukee to a victory over Baltimore.

McCutchen ripped a two-run double down the left-field line in the first inning and added a goahead single in the seventh. Hunter Renfroe contributed an RBI double and Willy Adames had two hits and three runs for the Brewers. Hoby Milner (1-0) retired the lone batter he faced to record his first decision in 96 career appearances.

Baltimore’s Cedric Mullins belted his first career grand slam in the second inning.

Astros 2, D-backs 1 Michael Brantley’s two-out single in the top of the ninth inning drove home Jose Siri with the deciding run and Ryan Pressly worked out of a jam for his third save as Houston defeated Arizona in the first game of a two-game interleague series in Phoenix.

Brantley’s hit, his third of the game, came off Mark Melancon after a double by Siri and a walk to Jose Altuve, all with two outs. Melancon (0-1) was the sixth Arizona pitcher.

Houston has captured four of its first five games. It’s an impressive start to its longest road trip of the season – nine contests in 11 days in Anaheim, Phoenix and, beginning Friday, Seattle. The Diamondbacks have dropped four of their first five and have scored just 12 runs.

Dodgers 7, Twins 2 Will Smith and Gavin Lux drove in two runs apiece and Los Angeles relied on a six-run eighth inning to pull away in Minneapolis in a game delayed by rain for 88 minutes in the eighth.

Trea Turner and Justin Turner added one RBI apiece for the Dodgers, who snapped a twogame skid. Right-hander Daniel Hudson (1-0) earned the win by pitching one scoreless inning.

Hudson was one of five relievers who followed starter Andrew Heaney.

Max Kepler went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI for Minnesota.

Right-hander Emilio Pagan (0-1) took the loss.

Raisel Iglesias (1-0) got the victory with a scoreless ninth as Los Angeles swept the two-game interleague series.

Braves 16, Nationals 4 Bryce Elder pitched 5 2/3 strong innings in his major league debut and Marcell Ozuna hit a pair of home runs to help Atlanta rout visiting Washington.

Elder, Atlanta’s fifth-round draft pick in 2020, allowed three runs on six hits and struck out four. The right-hander (1-0) gave up a run in the first inning and then retired 12 straight batters.

Elder grew tired in the sixth inning and allowed back-to-back homers to Juan Soto and Josh Bell before being removed. Jackson Stephens, recalled by the Braves on Tuesday, pitched the final three innings. He had not pitched in the major leagues in four years and earned his first career save.

Cardinals 6, Royals 5 Andrew Knizner hit a three-run homer and Nolan Arenado hit a two-run blast as St. Louis edged visiting Kansas City.

Albert Pujols went 3-for-4 with a homer, the 680th of his career, and scored two runs as the Cardinals won for the third time in four games. St. Louis starting pitcher Dakota Hudson lasted just four innings while allowing three runs on five hits.

Salvador Perez hit two solo homers for the Royals and Michael A. Taylor hit a two-run shot.

Starting pitcher Daniel Lynch (01) struck out seven batters in five innings, but he allowed six runs on nine hits, including three home runs, and a walk.

Rockies 4, Rangers 1 Connor Joe scored three runs, Kris Bryant knocked in two and Colorado beat host Texas to sweep a two-game interleague series.

Jhoulys Chacin (2-0) tossed 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief for Colorado’s fourth win in a row.

Daniel Bard pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his second save.

Texas had four hits – two each

by Mitch Garver and Andy Ibanez – and was swept in its home-opening series. Rangers starter Martin Perez (0-1) allowed three runs on seven hits in four-plus innings. He walked one and struck out two.

Brewers 5, Orioles 4

Megill dazzles in second consecutive start as Mets even series with Phillies Deesha Thosar New York Daily News

PHILADELPHIA — If Tylor Megill’s first terrific start of the season was just a trial-run against a rebuilding Nationals team, then his second outing of the year against a loaded Phillies lineup was a big test.

Megill, again unflappable, passed with flying colors.

The young right-hander picked up where he left off on opening day, turning in another scoreless start in the

Mets’ 2-0 win over the Phillies on Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park. Edwin Diaz shut the door in the ninth, recording three strikeouts, and collected his first save of the season.

The Mets (4-2) snapped a two-game losing streak and will try to win the series in Wednesday’s finale with Max Scherzer going toe-to-toe against Aaron Nola.

Megill allowed just three hits and recorded five strikeouts, while walking none,

across 5 1/3 innings and 76 pitches. The 26-year-old leads all major league pitchers with 10 1/3 scoreless innings. Tuesday was his second-career start against the Phillies.

Brandon Nimmo homered off his former teammate, Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler, in the fifth to put the Mets on the board. Starling Marte’s first stolen base of the season in the eighth led to key insurance, as Francisco Lindor drove him in on an RBI single

for a two-run lead. The Mets offense managed just three hits at the hitter-friendly Philly park.

Drew Smith was the bullpen hero on Tuesday after he took the ball from Chasen Shreve in the seventh in a onerun game. He struck out Rhys Hoskins and Didi Gregorius to end the frame, then manager Buck Showalter asked him to pitch a second inning. Smith responded by retiring the side in the eighth, setting up Diaz’s

save opportunity.

The last time Megill allowed a run to score was on Sept. 24, 2021, the penultimate start of his rookie season. Megill also kept opposing teams off the board in spring training last month, recording 6 2/3 scoreless innings and the lowest ERA (0.00) among all Mets pitchers to wrap up Grapefruit League games.

Not bad for a pitcher who wasn’t even expected to break camp with the team.

REPORTERS, EDITORS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS CREATE REAL NEWS. JOURNALISM YOU CAN TRUST.

Megill became the Mets’ opening-day starter after Jacob deGrom learned he’d be shut down from throwing for four weeks with a right scapula injury. With Max Scherzer also battling a hamstring issue at the time, Megill had the responsibility of keeping the Mets rotation afloat. Since then, Megill is shaping up to be a major problem for opposing lineups, and a boon for the Mets pitching staff.

Mets’ Taijuan Walker lands on injured list; Edwin Diaz rejoins team in Philly Deesha Thosar New York Daily News

PHILADELPHIA — Taijuan Walker landed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder bursitis.

Though Walker will miss multiple starts, fans shouldn’t be too worried about his trip to the IL because it has to do, at least in part, with the Mets wanting to stretch the right-hander out.

Walker exited his first start of the year Monday against the Phillies after just two innings with pain in his right shoulder. It was his second straight shortened outing due to a physical issue, and as such, he has amassed just 3 1/3 innings combined over his last two starts.

He also dealt with knee soreness in spring training, which resurfaced following surgery on his right knee in January. Walker, moments after his Tuesday morning MRI in New York, tweeted: “Everything is all good!”

Mets manager Buck Showalter said, once he’s healthy, the team will send Walker to the minors for a rehab start to get his pitch count up before he returns to the rotation. The skipper didn’t rule out the possibility that Walker will need just one rehab outing, versus at least two. If the righty can stretch out up to four innings in his rehab start, Showalter indicated that will be enough for Walker to come off the injured list.

As for who will replace Walker in the rotation, Showalter stopped short of committing to a starter.

Southpaw David Peterson is the obvious choice, since he piggybacked Walker on Monday and turned in four scoreless innings against a tough Philly lineup. Peterson would also remain on regular rest if he replaced

Walker in the rotation. His first opportunity to do so will be on Sunday at Citi Field against the Diamondbacks. Diaz returns Edwin Diaz joined the Mets in Philly on Tuesday after spending three days in Puerto Rico on the bereavement list. He learned his grandfather passed away on Friday during the Mets’ game against the Nationals. Diaz said his grandfather had been sick.

“We were really close,” Diaz said. “All his

grandsons were really close to him. He was a great grandfather with us. That’s why me, my brother, came back to Puerto Rico to spend time with my grandmother.”

The Mets closer threw off flat ground on Monday so his routine was not all that impacted by his travel to Puerto Rico.

“I’m happy to be back with the team,” he said. “I flew to Puerto Rico to spend that time with my family. But we are back. So ready to

roll.” May is day-to-day Trevor May underwent an MRI on Tuesday morning that showed a “very very low-grade triceps strain,” the reliever said. He added: “Which makes a lot of sense.”

May was unconcerned about his arm issue on Monday night, moments after he left his relief outing in the eighth inning against the Phillies alongside a trainer, because it’s a soreness he has apparently dealt with previously in his career.

May said he is day-to-day, and no one has approached him about a potential IL stint.

“Last night I wasn’t worried,” May said. “So now we know. Just day-to-day. Got some anti-inflammatories to get in there. Usually that stuff works pretty well. Just going to take a day off from throwing and go from there.”

May is unlikely to be available on Tuesday and Wednesday, so the Mets will be playing down a man in the bullpen in their final two games against the Phillies. They hope Tylor Megill, Tuesday’s starter, and Max Scherzer, Wednesday’s starter, will provide enough length that the bullpen can be used minimally.

Thoughts on Brooklyn Mets manager Buck Showalter opened his Tuesday afternoon press conference by recognizing the victims in Brooklyn’s subway shooting.

“We’re all aware of what’s going on back in our city,” Showalter said. “Our hearts are with everybody, and prayers. It’s awful. Just awful.

It doesn’t need something like that to put it in perspective. Our sympathy goes out to everybody involved. It’s in our thoughts. It’s certainly a topic of conversation in our clubhouse.

Needed to be said.”

It’s about time for USWNT to get serious after another laugher vs. Uzbekistan Steven Goff The Washington Post

CHESTER, Pa. — The U.S. women’s national soccer team did to Uzbekistan on Tuesday night what you would expect the sport’s preeminent program to inflict on 48th-ranked fodder, which is to say the outcome was decided while the sun was still warming Subaru Park’s north stands.

The 9-0 thrashing was on par with the 9-1 demolition exacted on this same opponent 72 hours earlier in Columbus, Ohio, and was along the lines of several lopsided results since the Americans’ Olympic mishap last summer.

Fact is, aside from two tests in Australia, the top-ranked United States has not faced anyone of significance for a long time.

The pause in serious competition has afforded Coach Vlatko Andonovski a stressfree opportunity to use less experienced players and leave some standard-bearers at home. It has provided time to experiment with tactics and combinations while allowing emergent players to take on greater roles.

From that standpoint, this breezy stretch was a grand success. Newcomers have sparkled, and Andonovski’s depth has grown. Without

difficult matches, though, it’s hard to gauge how good this new wave of players is.

Tuesday’s match marked the end of Andonovski’s fivemonth study. The next camp comes in June for two final tuneups before the Concacaf W Championship in July, which will double as 2023 World Cup and 2024 Olympic qualifiers.

Will the same pool of players return for a regional competition that will present few threats but carry enormous consequence? Does he recall Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Tobin Heath and Christen Press?

Or do his selections feature a blend of new and old, a transitional phase bridging the 2021 Olympics and the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where the Americans will vie for a third consecutive trophy?

“That’s not an easy process,” Andonovski said. “l did tell the players the job is not done for them. Now they’re going back to their [NWSL] teams and they’ve got to keep on improving, keep on developing and to show us they are in good form and ready for the next camp. Because now it’s not just these players. Anybody that is healthy and in good form - and we feel like is

going to be able to help us be successful - has a chance to be on this team.”

Andonovski’s selections for the Uzbekistan matches were consistent with his call-ups for the Australia trip in November and the SheBelieves Cup in February. These games, however, were the first since the fall that Andonovski was open to reinviting his famous figures. It came with a caveat: They had to deserve it.

Many were unavailable.

Crystal Dunn, Julie Ertz and Casey Krueger are pregnant, while Rapinoe, Sam Mewis, Becky Sauerbrunn, Lynn Williams, Emily Sonnett and Tierna Davidson are hurt.

The cluster of matches has provided a forum for 21-yearold forward Sophia Smith (hat trick Saturday); 23-year-old fullback Emily Fox; and the Washington Spirit triumvirate of Ashley Hatch, Ashley Sanchez and Trinity Rodman, who on Tuesday scored her first U.S. goal.

With an average age of almost 25, the starting lineup Tuesday was the youngest in 15 years. And, for the first time since 2013, none of the starters had made 100 international appearances.

Midfielder Rose Lavelle wore the captain’s armband for the first time. Goalkeeper

Aubrey Kingsbury, who anchored the Spirit’s championship run last fall, and 21-yearold center back Naomi Girma made their international debuts.

“It’s an exciting time,” Lavelle said. “I really feel like you can’t go wrong with anybody. Whoever goes out on the field, it clicks and it’s working.”

The Americans led 6-0 at halftime. The first goal came just 25 seconds in when Kamila Zaripova deflected Lavelle’s cross for an own goal.

Catarina Macario, a 22-year-old forward who is quickly becoming a global star, slotted in a 19-yard free kick in the 12th minute.

Mallory Pugh, a 23-year-old wing who has revived her career after a rough early stretch, pounced in the box two minutes later.

In another two-minute span, Lavelle converted a rebound with a deft chip, then wove into the box with grace for a low bid that caromed in off the right post. On the last touch of the half, Macario scored with a tight turn and a low finish.

In the 71st minute, with six Spirit players on the field, the 19-year-old Rodman scored in her third appearance. Later, she hit the crossbar from five yards.

“I said in front of everyone in the postgame huddle that I

truly believe this is just the first of many,” Andonovski said.

Silver Spring’s Margaret Purce and Sanchez scored in the last five minutes.

While blowouts are fun for the fans - Tuesday’s announced crowd was 11,373 they don’t reveal much. Greater tests would provide more accurate measuring sticks, but scheduling conflicts with top teams in Europe and pandemic issues have limited the U.S. Soccer Federation’s options.

The two home friendlies in June almost certainly will be against a South American foe - but not No. 9 Brazil. The next highest-ranked team from that continent is No. 26 Colombia.

Congress details allegations of Commanders’ ‘unlawful’ conduct to FTC Mark Maske and Nicki Jhabvala The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The Washington Commanders and owner Daniel Snyder “may have engaged in a troubling, long-running, and potentially unlawful pattern of financial conduct” that allegedly involved withholding as much as $5 million in refundable deposits from season ticket holders and also hiding money that was supposed to be shared among NFL owners, according to a letter sent from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform to the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday.

The 20-page letter, a copy of which was obtained

by The Washington Post, freshly details allegations made by Jason Friedman, a former vice president of sales and customer service who worked for the franchise for 24 years. The letter says Friedman told committee members the team maintained “two sets of books,” including one set of financial records used to underreport certain ticket revenue to the NFL. The letter cites documentation that the team’s financial improprieties may have extended to tickets registered in Commissioner Roger Goodell’s name. It references evidence that it says indicates the revenue gained by the team through these practices was known internally as “juice,” and it details allegations that the Commanders improperly attributed such revenue to being derived from a Navy-Notre Dame college football game at FedEx Field or a Kenny Chesney concert so that it wouldn’t be part of the NFL’s revenue-sharing pool.

The allegations of financial improprieties came to light as the committee reviewed documents and interviewed witnesses in its inquiry of the team’s workplace and the NFL’s handling of the matter. The team has broadly denied such allegations, and the oversight committee has not verified them beyond the evidence presented in the letter.

“Given the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) authority to investigate unfair or deceptive business practices, we are providing the information and documents uncovered by the Committee for your review, to determine if the Commanders violated any provision of law enforced by FTC and whether further action is warranted,” the committee’s letter reads. “We request that you take any other action you deem necessary to ensure that all funds are returned to their rightful owners and that those responsible are held accountable for their conduct.”

The Commanders did not respond immediately to a request for a reply to the news of Tuesday’s letter. Late last month, the team said it had committed no financial improprieties.

“The team categorically denies any suggestion of financial impropriety of any kind at any time,” the Commanders said in a statement then. “We adhere to strict internal

processes that are consistent with industry and accounting standards, are audited annually by a globally respected independent auditing firm, and are also subject to regular audits by the NFL. We continue to cooperate fully with the Committee’s work.”

The letter was signed

by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., the committee’s chairwoman, and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, DIll., the chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, and addressed to FTC chair Lina Khan. It was copied to Republican leaders of the committee, Goodell and attorneys general Jason Miyares, R, of Virginia, Brian Frosh, D, of Maryland and Karl Racine, D, of the District of Columbia.

“We are writing to share evidence of concerning business practices by the Washington Commanders uncovered during the Committee’s ongoing investigation into workplace misconduct at the team,” the letter says.

“Evidence obtained by the Committee, including emails, documents, and statements from former employees, indicate senior executives and the team’s owner, Daniel Snyder, may have engaged in a troubling, long-running, and potentially unlawful pattern of financial conduct that victimized thousands of team fans and the National Football League (NFL).”

The NFL issued a statement Tuesday.

“We continue to cooperate with the Oversight Committee and have provided more than 210,000 pages of documents,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said. “The NFL has engaged former SEC chair Mary Jo White to review the serious matters raised by the committee.”

A spokesperson for the oversight committee’s Republicans said the Democrats “are attacking a private company using the claims of a disgruntled ex-employee who had limited access to the team’s finances, was fired for violating team policies, and has his own history of creating a toxic workplace environment.” The Republicans will provide the FTC “with additional context to ensure that they have the full story when evaluating the Democrats’ latest letter and not just one-sided, cherry-picked information,” the spokesperson said.

Lisa Banks, Friedman’s attorney, called the the Republicans’ characterization of him “demonstrably false” and added in an email, “Deflection and disparagement will not prove to be an effective defense to these allegations.”

Eight days ago, the Commanders said in a statement that there “has been absolutely no withholding of ticket revenue at any time by the Commanders,” adding that any person “who offered testimony suggesting a withholding of revenue has committed perjury, plain and simple.”

Timberwolves fight back to beat Clippers in play-in round Chris Hine Star Tribune

After Karl-Anthony Towns fouled out with 7 minutes, 34 seconds remaining in Minnesota’s 109-104 play-in win over the Clippers, he didn’t make much of a scene.

He got angry initially, but he was quiet as he headed back to the bench. He shook his head.

He got most of his complaining and crying done over the course of the first five fouls, specifically the fifth, which he picked up in the third quarter.

He let out a few choice words for those around the Wolves bench to hear as D’Angelo Russell tried to tell him to, “Let it go.”

The Clippers, when fully healthy, had a physical, disciplined defense that stifled Towns in the teams’ first three meetings, all Wolves losses.

They got him again Tuesday.

He exited in the fourth with 11 points on 3-for-11 shooting, his team down seven and so much time left.

The Wolves were going to have to make the playoffs without him. They did.

The Wolves went on a 13-2 run to take a 99-95 lead with 4:02 to play as Anthony Edwards went uncontested for a dunk down the line. Target Center was rocking and everyone in the building believed.

With 6.4 seconds remaining the crowd chanted “We want Memphis.”

Edwards finished with 30 and Russell had 29 to send Minnesota to the playoffs for just the second time since 2004. They will face Memphis in Game 1 on Saturday.

Paul George had 34 for Los Angeles.

By the end of the night,

NICK WOSIKA/USA TODAY

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (8) controls the ball as Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (1) defends during the second quarter of a play-in game at Target Center on Tuesday.

Towns was smiling, clapping and celebrating along with his teammates.

From the start, the Clippers clamped down on Towns and made his life miserable. They doubled him often and were physical with him before the touch.

He had three fouls and zero points after one, then four fouls and two points after two.

Coach Chris Finch said he expected some wrestling matches between Towns and the Clippers’ physical frontcourt.

Los Angeles kept him pinned to the bench.

During the second quarter, security had to remove a woman who appeared to try to glue herself to the floor during a stoppage in play in protest of one of Wolves and Star Tribune owner Glen Taylor’s

farms.

After a short delay, the game resumed and the Wolves got back on track despite Towns’ absence. Edwards continued his hot shooting with 15 firsthalf points on 6-for-10. But the Wolves got a lift from Russell when they needed it the most.

They trailed 45-38 when Towns went out with his fourth foul with 3:48 to play.

They were ahead 53-51 at halftime. That’s because Russell got going. He scored 14 points in the second quarter on a perfect 5-for-5.

Towns finally got a couple buckets in the third quarter, but his fifth foul wasn’t that far away.

He got called for it with 3:47 to play and came back to the bench despondent.

This came as the Clippers

started to get going offensively, specifically George, who opened the third quarter 4-for-7 after going 2-for-10 in the first quarter. The Clippers scored 33 in the quarter and took an 84-78 lead into the fourth. George had 15 in the third.

The Wolves have had bigger comebacks in terms of points this season — they were only down as much as 10 — but perhaps none was as impressive given the stakes.

The Wolves led 104-98 on a Russell jumper before Los Angeles cut it to 104-101 on a George 3. But after a Reggie Jackson miss, Edwards took it to the rim and drew contact with 38.5 to go. He made both free throws and the Wolves were on their way.

Irving, Durant power Nets past Cavs in play-in game Kristian Winfield New York Daily News

NEW YORK — For three quarters, the Nets gave the fans what they wanted.

A victory for a championship contender is supposed to feel dominant.

It’s supposed to feel effortless. It’s supposed to remove any shadow of a doubt as to which of the two competing teams is better.

A victory for a championship contender should almost feel unopposed.

And for three quarters, the Nets looked like an unopposed title fighter, punching down on much lesser competition in an eventual 115-108 win over Cleveland to clinch the Eastern Conference’s No. 7 seed. They ripped the Cavaliers to shreds early and then allowed Tuesday’s play-in game to turn into a familiar game of hot potato.

First it was Kyrie Irving’s turn to eat, then it was Kevin Durant’s, then Andre Drummond or Bruce Brown.

And then the wheels fell off midway through the third quarter. The Nets built a 22-point lead, then watched the Cavaliers chop into that lead.

Twenty. Seventeen. Fourteen.

Twelve. The Cavaliers cut the Nets’ lead all the way down to six with five minutes to go in the fourth quarter.

But the Nets have been here before.

In fact, they’ve been here more times than Durant would prefer.

Blown leads are almost intertwined into the fabric of the Nets’ DNA. They build leads, take their feet off the gas, then ramp it up -- no pun intended -when the game gets too close.

It happened when they blew an 18-point lead against the Indiana Pacers, when they blew a 17-point lead against the Houston Rockets, when the league-worst Pistons turned a 10-point Nets lead into a 12-point advantage of their own, and it happened in last week’s matchup against the Cavaliers.

The Nets led by 17 at the end of the first quarter and found themselves in a tie game in the fourth quarter before pulling away to win by 11.

The only thing different on Tuesday night were the stakes.

A loss on Tuesday would have been devastating. It would have sent the Nets from a solidified matchup against the second-seeded Boston Celtics into

Evan Mobley (4) of the Cleveland Cavaliers looks to pass as Kyrie Irving (11) and Kevin Durant (7) of the Brooklyn Nets defend during the second half of the Eastern Conference 2022 Play-In Tournament at Barclays Center on Tuesday.

a win-or-go-home consolation showdown against the winner of the No. 9-10 game between the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks.

A loss, however, would have been par from the course. This is who the Nets are. They might play with their food, and it might not always be pretty, but they handle business when it matters most.

That’s because they’re led by two players who’ve won it all before, and a cool, calm and collected head coach in Steve Nash, who might not be the best tactician among his peers, but continues to keep this team striving for incremental improvement on a nightly basis.

Irving made each of his first 11 shots and finished with 34 points on 12-of-15 shooting to go with 10 assists. Durant shot 9 of 16 from the field for 25 points and 11 assists. The duo became the first pair of Nets teammates to record 20-plus points and 10-plus assists since Derrick Coleman and Rumeal Robinson back in 1993.

And they continue to keep this team on the right path, even when the going gets tough, even in the face of adversity, even when another team’s run looks like it might swing the momentum out of

their favor.

More importantly, the victory reaffirms the belief that this Nets team can turn on the jets when they need to, that they can flip the switch from a team ostensibly cruising through the regular season to one ready to power through the post-season and potentially upset a higher-seeded opponent.

The Nets can’t afford many missteps against the Celtics. Boston is home to the league’s best defense. It’s home to Jayson Tatum, an outright star who hung 54 points on the Nets the last time these teams met. It’s home to Marcus Smart, a frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year. And it’s home to Ime Udoka, one of Nash’s former assistants who has become a Coach of the Year candidate by turning the Celtics into an Eastern Conference juggernaut.

But the Nets have something most other teams don’t. They have Durant and Irving, two shoo-in Hall of Famers who double as two of the best scorers in NBA history. And they have experience with their backs against the wall, because in a way, they’ve been playing urgent, desperate basketball for the past two months.

Ben Simmons ‘still has a lot more markers to meet’ before making debut, Nets coach Steve Nash says Kristian Winfield New York Daily News

NEW YORK — Nets head coach Steve Nash says there’s no updated timetable for the injured Ben Simmons to make his season debut, even though reports to the contrary surfaced in recent days.

The Athletic’s NBA newsbreaker, Shams Charania, reported on Sirius XM’s “The Pat McAfee Show” that Simmons, who has been hampered by a herniated disk in his lower back, could make his debut as soon as Game 3 in the Nets’ first-round playoff matchup, potentially against the Boston Celtics if they win Tuesday night’s Play-In Tournament game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Nash pleaded ignorance to the reports and said nothing has changed with regard to Simmons.

“I don’t know where these reports come from,” Nash said ahead of tipoff on Tuesday. “We have no update on the timetable so I don’t think that came from us.”

Nash, however, also said the Nets would not trade James Harden (both in the days leading up to the deal and on the morning of the day the team announced the deal had been completed). Charania, on the other hand, reported the Harden deal materializing several days before it happened.

“If the Nets win tonight against the Cavaliers3/8, they play Boston this weekend,” Charania said. “I think Games 1 and 2 in Boston is too quick, but I definitely think after that is when the window for Ben Simmons to return starts opening up, and even if he’s able to give them 15 minutes, 20 minutes, Pat, that’s a game-changer because that’s a guy you can automatically put on the other team’s best player, he can move the ball, he can rebound, a lot can happen. So that is a potential game-changer if Ben Simmons returns.

“I’m told he’s very, very confident he’ll be back.”

On one hand, it’s difficult to envision Simmons, who was bound to the rehab table and labeled “the mystery guy” by teammate Andre

WENDELL CRUZ/USA TODAY

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (10) talks with fans prior to the game against the Indiana Pacers at Barclays Center on Sunday.

Drummond only two weeks ago, as fully healthy for a first-round series that starts this weekend.

Simmons, according to Nash, is now shooting and “starting to move a little bit on the court” in individual workouts. Nash said Simmons has had far more significant rehab progress in the last week than the first three weeks after he received an epidural to alleviate pain in his lower back.

“So definitely positive signs that it’s improving and moving and all those things,” Nash said. “But, like I said, he hasn’t been running full speed or playing against anybody, so still a lot more markers to meet.”

On the other hand, the Nets have historically

been coy with their injury diagnoses. They played a game of cat and mouse with Joe Harris’ ankle injury, a severe sprain that required two surgeries and ultimately ended his season. And Nash didn’t mention that Simmons underwent an MRI that revealed the herniated disk until weeks after he got the scan.

The Nets could be underpromising Simmons’ return only to over-deliver on a healthier version of the star who has been absent all season. That would be difficult to sell, however, because Simmons still looks limited in warmups, and even though he’s been more visible in recent practices and pregame workouts, he still has not run at full

speed since the back problems flared up in March.

“In a sense, every time he moves a little more that is in a sense conditioning,” Nash said. “But I wouldn’t say he’s doing wind sprints or things like that.”

There’s also the risk associated with a decision to rush Simmons onto the floor. Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. is battling back issues amid a breakout stretch of his early career. Simmons can’t afford another significant back injury. His troubles started with a nerve impingement in February 2020 and have resurfaced this season.

The Nets’ performance team also requires three high-intensity workouts in practice without a setback before clearing a player as eligible to play in a game. Simmons is still doing individual work and has to advance to one-on-one, two-ontwo and eventually five-on-five. Nash said on April 4 it would be unlikely the team forgoes the high-intensity workout requirement “because of the deficit he’s coming out of. If he had played 65 games, this year and we’re going into the playoffs, and he had a few weeks injury, maybe, but I think in this situation, you know, we’ve got to put his health and safety first and make sure that we’re certain he’s ready to play and contribute.”

There’s no denying, however, that adding Simmons to an already star-studded Nets team makes this team even more of a championship favorite than they already are. He is a two-time NBA AllStar, a perennial candidate for Defensive Player of the Year, he ranks top 20 in steals, rebounds assists and field-goal percentage almost every season and is one of the most athletic players at his position when fully healthy.

Despite their standing as a Play-In Tournament team, the Nets remained the team with the thirdhighest odds to win it all this season behind the Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks as of Tuesday morning, according to Odds Shark.

Those odds project to increase if Simmons is on the floor with his teammates.

It’s safe to talk about the Brooklyn Nets and basketball again Candace Buckner The Washington Post

NEW YORK - Kevin Durant looked annoyed. The slightest hint of drama was irking him.

His teammate, Bruce Brown, had just said something spicy during his postgame media session following the Brooklyn Nets’ 115-108 win in the play-in round on Tuesday. Really, what Brown said was a bit too honest for Durant’s liking.

While looking ahead to the firstround playoff matchup against the Boston Celtics, Brown mentioned how the absence of injured center Robert Williams would be a factor. This would register as the most benign bulletin board material of all time, but when Durant walked into the room of reporters, he wanted to defuse his teammate’s sound bite before it could make it to the ears of the Celtics.

“Yo, what did Bruce Brown say?” Durant asked. “He said something I didn’t like. Somebody just told me.”

When a reporter relayed Brown’s words, Durant rolled his eyes and sucked his teeth the way an old timer would when these kids out here are working his last nerve. Maybe Durant believed that strongly in the capabilities of the two other Boston big men, Al

Horford and Daniel Theis, and wanted to show them respect. Or maybe he just wanted one night without his team playing the lead character in the NBA season’s longest-running soap opera.

A night without drama? For the Nets - a team of super friends who decided to join forces three years ago and have chosen chaos every step of the way that would seem like an eternity.

Kyrie Irving’s stubborn refusal to get vaccinated against the coronavirus and to comply with the New York City mandate forced him to miss the start of the season. Last month, the mayor created an exception for athletes and performers to work despite their vaccination status, so Irving has only recently reacquainted himself with the home rims inside Barclays Center.

James Harden, who joined last season as the third superstar, wanted out by this year’s trade deadline. According to an ESPN report, however, Harden did himself no favors at the beginning of the training camp when he showed up out of shape.

And all-star point guard Ben Simmons, who came over in the Harden trade, can pull off a green leather jacket-and-shorts combo on the sidelines but he still can’t suit up for the game.

He hasn’t logged a minute all season.

However, after securing their playoff berth as arguably the scariest seventh seed in NBA history, the Nets should be discussed purely in basketball terms.

They’ve proved that their highlights are more exhilarating than their headlines.

Since there are no more city mandates left to defy, we can now marvel at how Irving, on an empty stomach while fasting for Ramadan, can play basketball without a blemish.

A supercut of his performance when Brooklyn clinched against the Cleveland Cavaliers would look a little like those workout videos that clutter NBA players’ Instagram feeds during the summer. Nobody misses a shot in those polished clips. The only difference with Irving’s highlights - he didn’t need the edit button. He took 12 shots to start the game, he made 12 shots. He delivered passes to the numbers on his teammates’ chests and he worked his crossover the way a DJ scratches a turntable and still stays on the beat.

“You never know why someone gets in the zone like that,” Coach Steve Nash said of Irving, who finished with a team-high 34 points and 12 assists.

And when multiple players occupy that zone, as Irving and Durant did Tuesday night, they create the NBA’s worst math problem. Sometimes, one

superstar plus another can be greater than five players.

During games, Durant and Irving have their little, secret handshake. It largely consists of them linking their index fingers and they do so after buckets, after extra passes, after any fun moment that happens. So if the rest of the playoffs resemble anything like the play-in game, they’ll be joining fingers a lot.

Besides scoring 25 points against the Cavs, Durant played as “the PG from PG (County),” as Irving called him, and also dropped 11 assists. And if that wasn’t enough, Durant decided to add rim protector to his responsibilities and blocked three shots. When he needed to return to all-world scorer, Durant obliged with knocking down consecutive jumpers that propelled the Nets’ lead back to double digits in the fourth quarter. Overall, Durant and Irving scored or assisted on 80 percent of the team’s points.

“I don’t want to take it for granted when we have moments like this where we’re clicking on almost all cylinders,” Irving said. “When you have most of the starters scoring over 15 and just the ball’s hopping, we’re executing very well and we’re trusting one another . . . When we get into those one-on-one

matchups and me and K start shooting a bunch of attempts and we try to go and be special, those are going to be moments that are going to come.

But when we’re able to do it efficiently when everybody’s touching the pumpkin or touching the ball the energy feels better.”

Those good vibes produced good basketball, then Brown spoke and he answered a question about slowing the Celtics down.

“Now they don’t have Robert Williams, so they have less of a presence in the paint and we can attack Al Horford and Theis,” Brown said. “So them not having Robert Williams is huge.”

Someone made a big deal of this to Durant and though he leisurely strolled in for his turn in front of the microphone, he wasted no time in turning down the noise.

“I mean, we respect our opponent.

We don’t need to talk about what we going to do to them,” Durant said. “We don’t need to say s--- like that. Let’s just go out there and hoop.”

A basketball team keeping its focus on just basketball. Such a novel concept in Brooklyn.

The latest NBA signature move: The jump pass Robert O’Connell The Washington Post

Any aspiring point guard who ever attended a basketball camp has heard the cardinal rule, a warning to prevent scenarios in which things tend to go wrong more than right. Greg Anthony, an 11-year NBA veteran who played the position in the 1990s and early 2000s, remembers it being drilled into him in his early years: “You were always taught you’re not supposed to leave your feet when you pass the ball.”

The guidance is aimed at helping players avoid making panicked decisions in midair, but most can’t pull off what the Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic did in the second quarter of a recent win over Utah.

Muscling into the lane, Doncic rose for what looked like a short-range shot. Then, in the half-second he was airborne, he glanced back over his shoulder at a teammate stationed on the wing - drawing a defender into that passing lane - before firing a sharp-angled, no-look dart to Reggie Bullock for an open corner three-point attempt. Doncic landed and Bullock made the shot - all according to plan.

In recent years, the NBA’s

most creative passers, from 20-year-old LaMelo Ball to 37-year-old LeBron James, have thumbed their noses at this piece of conventional hoops wisdom. Doncic and the Atlanta Hawks’ Trae Young - ranked fifth and third, respectively, in assists per game this season have gone a step further, turning the jump pass from a highlightreel play into a cornerstone of their approaches, allowing them to open up the defense.

Their coaches have accepted it for the simplest reason: It works.

“In the game of basketball, nothing was invented by the coaches,” said Igor Kokoskov, an assistant with the Mavericks and Doncic’s former coach on the Slovenian national team.

“Players change the game, and with the jump pass, the genius players are the game-changers.

It’s our job to notice.”

The first two things Carlin Hartman, then an assistant at the University of Oklahoma, noticed about Young when he arrived on campus as a freshman in 2017 were the long hours he spent studying the game and the split-second decisions he made playing it. Off the court, the 6-foot-1, 164-pounder pored over film of Chris Paul and

Steve Nash, similarly undersized point guards who relied on guile and angles to manufacture whatever advantage they could.

On the court, Young used that knowledge to read a defender’s slightest lean and moved quickly into the right shot or pass.

“He could always see things,” Hartman said. “He was two steps ahead of everybody.”

This manifested most obviously in a maneuver Young has become known for in Atlanta.

Dribbling around a screen, he creates a two-on-one scenario: himself and a big man vs. the defender guarding that big man. But where Paul and Nash tended to stay on the floor in these moments - per numerous coaches’ instructions, to be sure - Young would raise up for what looked like a floating jump shot, forcing the defender into an unwinnable decision. Challenge the shot, and Young adjusts the trajectory to make it a lob pass for his now-open teammate.

Hedge against the pass, and Young gets the bucket himself.

In addition to leading the Big 12 in scoring during his lone season at Oklahoma, Young set the top mark in assists per game, his 8.7 more than 1.5 better than the second-place finisher. For the

Sooners’ coaches, embracing their star’s go-to move meant abdicating some of their usual responsibilities.

“It’s pretty much taboo for most guys, because we want them playing off two feet, playing under control,” Hartman said. “But when it comes to guys like Trae, he sees it before even you can see it.”

Young, who grew up in Pampa, Texas, honed the technique under Dallas-area trainer Tim Martin. Martin taught Young that the trick lies not only in athleticism or timing but also in chemistry: convincing an opponent of one thing while readying a teammate for the other.

“Trae does a phenomenal job of communicating with his bigs - not just in games but in practices,” Martin said. “In order to be able to make those kinds of passes, you have to overcommunicate off the court, build relationships so they always know what to do in different scenarios.”

With Atlanta, which opens its postseason with a play-in game against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, Young has spent countless hours working with center Clint Capela, to whom he threw a league-best

164 assists this season. While the Atlanta crowd roars in response to the latest alley-oop, Joe Prunty, a Hawks assistant coach, often notices point guard and center holding a quick conference on their trip back downcourt, tracking coverages and fine-tuning angles.

“The game is an art,” Prunty said, “and they’re always having a discussion about what they’re seeing - from both of their perspectives.”

If Young turned to the jump pass to counteract a height disadvantage, Doncic used it to bolster an already significant leg up. The 6-7, 230-pound guard, currently nursing a calf strain ahead of the Mavericks’ firstround series against the Utah Jazz, can muscle wherever he likes on the floor and shoot over most anyone in his way when he gets there.

His frame lets him pull off passes popularized by James, missiles flung over the heads of the defenders bunched against the threat of his own scoring.

But Doncic also studied smaller fellow Europeans - especially Vassilis Spanoulis, who’s known as the “Greek Steve Nash.”

“Parts of every player,” Doncic said, explaining to TNT last

season how he has built his tool kit. “That’s how I see it.”

It’s one thing to see the defense’s rotation in real time and pick out where the ball should go. It’s another to summon the strength, without his legs anchoring him to the floor, to get it there.

“His body is all one piece,” Kokoskov said. “He’s got the strength to make those passes look effortless.”

Doncic’s midair stunts take on many forms. He’ll rise up for a layup and, when a center leaps to contest the shot, drop the ball down to hip height and slip it to a teammate. He’ll ease into what seems like a standard jump shot and then, without so much as turning his head, wrench sideways and muscle the ball 50 feet, hitting a shooter square in the chest.

The challenge is to capitalize on his creativity without edging into recklessness: Doncic turned over the ball five or more times in 31 of 65 games this season.

“My only concern is that sometimes he gets bored,” Kokoskov said. “Making the simple play, making the simple pass that’s too easy for him.”

by Misetich to give Ichabod Crane a 2-1 lead.

Pelizza retired the Indians in order with a pop out between two groundouts. The second grounder of the inning went to Jack Mullins at shortstop and he fielded it moving to his right, threw across his body to first base as his momentum took him the other way but got the third out.

Dylan McCrudden got hit by a pitch leading off the bottom half of the second, and then stole second base.

Alex Schmidt reached first safely after hitting a ground ball to short and the throw was wide of the bag, allowing McCrudden to score on the play.

Brady Holzhauer was also hit by a pitch, and a push bunt by Mullins caught the defense off-guard and the Riders loaded the bases with nobody out.

Garafalo plated one run after grounding into a fielder’s choice to make it 4-1. Garafalo then stole second base and the Riders scored again when the throw sailed into the outfield. After another two hitby-pitches loaded the bases again, Garafalo took advantage of the Indians’ lack of attention to him at third base, and he stole home to make it 6-1.

Pelizza remained poised on the mound and got a groundout and a strikeout to end the inning. McCrudden singled and Schmidt worked a walk to start off the bottom of the third. Holzhauer poked an RBI single into the outfield for Ichabod Crane and the lead was now 7-4.

Mullins came to the plate and hit an absolute missile to left-center and everyone watched as it went over the fence for three run blast for Ichabod Crane this time, widening the lead to

10-4. The Riders scored another three runs in the bottom half, capped off by a sacrifice fly by McCrudden that scored the seventh run of the inning and made it 13-4.

Pelizza got two quick outs in the fourth before issuing a two out walk to Frankie Broadhurst. Pelizza came back at the next hitter though and struck him out for the third out.

Holzhauer walked to lead off the bottom of the fourth for Ichabod Crane and Mullins brought him around with a deep fly ball to center field that rolled to the fence for an RBI triple. Pelesz knocked in another run for the Riders with an RBI groundout to score Mullins from third and put

them up 15-4.

Noah Algozzine singled to start off the fifth for Ravena but they needed a lot more than that. Pelizza struck out Jack McFerran on a nasty breaking pitch that bounced in the dirt for the first out. Misetich came to the plate and hit a fly ball to center, but Schmidt tracked it down with ease and made a sliding catch for out number two.

McClellan was the Indians’ last hope but he grounded out to second base for the final out and the Ichabod Crane Riders defeated the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Indians 15-4 in five innings.

Adam Schefter apologizes for ‘insensitive’ tweet about Dwayne Haskins Des Bieler The Washington Post

ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared an apology Monday for a tweet he posted Saturday about the death of NFL quarterback Dwayne Haskins.

“It was insensitive,” Schefter said of the since-deleted tweet. “It was a mistake.”

In the tweet, which helped break the news that Haskins had died Saturday morning after being hit by a vehicle in South Florida, Schefter wrote that the 24-year-old excelled at Ohio State before “struggling to catch on with Washington and Pittsburgh in the NFL.” The 55-year-old Schefter, who holds the title of senior NFL insider at ESPN and has a Twitter following of 9.4 million, quickly garnered major blowback from fans and athletes. Among those sharply criticizing him were Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and ex-Buckeyes quarterback Cardale Jones, who suggested Schefter use more positive language and wrote, “Let his family & friends grieve instead of throwing

shade.”

After deleting his tweet later Saturday, Schefter posted a revision that described Haskins as “a standout at Ohio State before becoming Washington’s first-round pick and playing in Pittsburgh.”

On Monday, Schefter shared a clip from his eponymous podcast in which he offered an apology and elaborated on how Haskins became “beloved because of his smile, his attitude, his work ethic, his growth and the man that he had turned himself into.”

“Dwayne Haskins was beloved by his teammates in the NFL community, as the outpouring of support from over the weekend showed,” Schefter said. “This is the Dwayne Haskins that deserves to be remembered. This is the way he was, and the way he lived, and apologies that was not made clearer sooner by me. But the people who knew him best knew this already.”

The 15th selection in the 2019 draft, Haskins was released by Washington late in the 2020 season. He signed a one-year contract in January

KIRBY LEE/USA TODAY

ESPN personality Adam Schefter talks during a segment before the Pro Bowl football game at Allegiant Stadium on Feb. 6.

2021 with Pittsburgh, which used a restricted free agent tender to retain him for the 2022 season. In the wake of Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement at the end of last season, Haskins had an opportunity to earn a spot on the Steelers’ depth chart and possibly compete for the starting job.

In his comments Monday, Schefter asserted that Pittsburgh Coach Mike Tomlin, former general manager Kevin Colbert and team president

Art Rooney II “grew incredibly fond” of Haskins, who had made a point of “showing that he was grateful to be a member of the organization.”

Schefter said the quarterback “adopted [Pittsburgh] as his home,” was active in the community and trained diligently at the Steelers’ facility.

“I wish I could have that tweet back,” Schefter declared on his podcast. “The focus should have been on Dwayne - who he was as a person,

a husband, a friend and so much more. I wanted to apologize to Dwayne’s family, his friends, the players in the NFL, and offer my condolences to everyone close to Dwayne.”

Schefter was not the only noted figure in the NFL world who issued an apology following much-criticized comments about Haskins. Former Dallas personnel executive Gil Brandt, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, tweeted Saturday a statement of regret for having “reacted carelessly and insensitively on a radio interview.”

Speaking earlier in the day on SiriusXM NFL Radio, for which he has made frequent appearances as an analyst, Brandt said Haskins was “a guy that was living to be dead, so to speak.”

Brandt claimed Haskins, who declared for the NFL draft after his redshirt sophomore season at Ohio State, had been strongly advised not to “leave school early” because of purportedly deficient “work habits.”

“It was always something,” the 90-year-old Brandt said.

“It was one of those things [like], ‘I’m never offsides, but they keep calling me for offsides.’ . . . It’s a tragic thing.

Anytime anybody dies it’s tragic, especially when you’re 24 years old and you’ve got your whole life ahead of you.

But maybe if he’d have stayed in school a year [longer], he wouldn’t do silly things.”

Following a torrent of criticism from, among others, current and former NFL players, Brandt stated Saturday on Twitter: “I want to apologize to Mr. Haskins’ family and anyone who heard my poor choice of words. I truly apologize. My heart goes out to his family at this difficult time.”

In his comments Monday, Schefter said “the way I failed Saturday” was in not directing “people’s attention to make sure that Dwayne is remembered properly.”

“He was known for his smile, his kind heart and his dreams,” Schefter said. “And sadly and tragically, those were all snuffed out before they could become a reality.”

Accepting grandma irked by intolerance of others Dear Abby, My adult granddaughter, “Kaia,” is in a relationship with “Jenny.” Jenny’s stepmom doesn’t believe in gay marriage or homosexuality. I’m having a hard time dealing with the fact that Jenny’s family doesn’t DEAR ABBY accept Kaia or allow her in their home. Kaia is excluded from all holidays and family functions.

I don’t know what to do or say to her about this. They are getting married in two months, and Jenny’s family is still shunning her. How do I deal with these “holy rollers” who use the church as a reason to hate my granddaughter? I don’t want to die knowing she’ll have a miserable life ahead of her. Please help me.

Supportive In California

JEANNE PHILLIPS

If Jenny’s family are truly good Christians, they may not dislike your granddaughter.

They may be following a misguided directive to love the “sinner” but hate the “sin.”

I cannot advise strongly enough that Kaia and Jenny discuss the ramifications of that family’s stance BEFORE they marry. I am surprised Jenny would attend family gatherings from which Kaia is excluded. If this continues after the marriage, it could damage their relationship. A counselor at the nearest LGBTQ center would be helpful in facilitating this discussion.

Be as supportive to your granddaughter and Jenny as you can so they know you’re always in their corner. Encourage them to cultivate their own “chosen family” as they move into their future.

Dear Abby, My husband, “Jonah,” comes from a large

family. They are rude people who live in a small, rural town, and they don’t like outsiders. Jonah and I have been together 15 years (married for eight), and I have never been invited to his mother’s home or some of his siblings’ homes.

We love to entertain, so they attend our holiday parties, where they literally walk in without greeting me. They eat all our food and leave without saying goodbye or even helping with the cleanup. It’s “pack behavior.” They do this all together.

I have reached the point that I no longer want to host these events. I feel uncomfortable in my own home. Jonah and I have started cutting back on the number of parties we host, and now they are making rude comments about it. My husband acknowledges that they’re a bunch of miserable, rude people, but that doesn’t help the situation.

I don’t want anything to do with them, and I don’t want to be forced to keep inviting a bunch of ungrateful individuals who don’t have even the common courtesy to speak to me. How can I make Jonah understand how I feel? Please help.

Annoyed In New Jersey If you have expressed to your husband what you have written in your letter, he DOES understand, but doesn’t want to acknowledge it.

The way his family has treated you is deplorable. If you don’t wish to entertain them, let your husband buy and prepare the food and do the cleanup with no help from them afterward, while you go and do something alone or with people whose company you enjoy. He can also visit his relatives without you if he wishes.

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are both a thinker and a doer, the kind of person who can first imagine something far-fetched and subsequently work hard and do whatever is necessary to make it real. It is this ability to combine thought and action that sets you apart. Your penchant for thinking and doing things that really matter will likely keep you alive in the memories of others long after your time on Earth has expired. You are naturally curious.

You know how to communicate well with all manner of individuals, from the most erudite to the most common — and, indeed, it is among the latter group that you may actually attain a sort of cult status as a leader and role model.

This, it must be said, is not something you’ve intentionally sought, of course! You are far more down to earth than that.

Also born on this date are: Thomas Jefferson, U.S. president; Al Green, singer; Ron Perlman, actor; Tony Dow, actor; Hunter Pence, baseball player; Rick Schroder, actor; Don Adams, actor and comedian; Samuel Beckett, playwright.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

THURSDAY, APRIL 14 ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may have to work harder than expected today to get the answers to your questions — particularly where expenses are concerned.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Take what’s yours today — but only what’s yours. If you try to lay claim to anything else, you’ll likely have a lengthy fight on your hands.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You may run afoul today of someone who is expecting you to

follow a different set of rules from the ones you usually follow to the letter.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Carelessness is likely your worst enemy today, as you may find yourself unable to focus as you should and protect yourself from costly errors.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You want everything to add up just so today, but you’re not likely to be satisfied right away. You may have to make numerous minute adjustments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You can satisfy someone’s needs today in an unexpected but most welcome fashion. See if you can make this a regular thing!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — A clandestine meeting may be uncovered today, throwing the light of suspicion squarely on you. You must explain yourself in detail.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Showering another in praise will only solve part of a nagging problem today. You must be willing to discuss things on a deeper level.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You may want to challenge authority today but, in the end, you’ll follow the rules. Don’t try to mount a challenge that won’t pay off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You’re not going to avoid all obstacles today, but if you’re creative, you can use any delay to your advantage as you plan for the future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You may have to prove that you’ve done what you have said you’ve done — but you can be sure that many others will be willing to support you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You are in a position that affords you a new opportunity — but if you cannot see it clearly, you may not benefit.

Keep eyes and ears open.

contract. The double puts declarer instantly on the alert for bad splits.

South won the opening heart lead in hand with his king. He made no effort to draw trumps, but rather led a heart to dummy’s ace and ruffed a heart. He led a diamond to dummy’s queen for a successful finesse. South cashed dummy’s ace of diamonds and led dummy’s last heart. He ruffed with the queen of spades and West overruffed with the king.

West, with no good exit, led a diamond, yielding a ruff-sluff. South discarded a club from dummy and ruffed in his hand. The jack of spades confirmed the terrible trump split. South led a club from his hand. West correctly discarded a diamond as dummy won with the ace. Another club put East on lead as West shed his last diamond. In this three-card ending, West had the 10-nine-seven of spades and dummy had the ace-eight-six. East led a club, ruffed by West with the nine. South elegantly under-ruffed in dummy. West had to lead away from his 10 of spades and South scored up his doubled contract.

Thanks for the warning, West!
