Winter just doesn’t want to quit

By Bill Williams

The storm is forecasted to form off the New Jersey coast on Monday night and track northeast. The storm will begin as rain, but is expected to pull down colder air as it intensifies and change over to snow during the early morning hours Tuesday, Porreca said.

Parts of the Catskills and the Berkshires could accumulate 6 to 10 inches of snow, Porreca said.

The mountaintop regions of Greene County over 1,000 to 1,500 feet and in the Adirondacks will see the most snow, Porreca said. The valley areas may receive an inch or two of snow, mostly on grassy surfaces.

A late winter storm may dump 6 to 10 inches of snow in the higher elevations of Greene and Columbia counties Tuesday.

The calendar may read mid-April, but parts of Greene and Columbia counties will be shoveling snow Tuesday thanks to a winter storm that is predicted to hit the region.

The higher elevations, western Greene County and eastern Columbia County are expected to receive more than valley locations such as Catskill and Hudson, said local meteorologist Allen Porreca.

The National Weather Service in Albany placed western Greene County under a Winter Storm Warning from 6 p.m.

Monday until noon Tuesday.

The snow that falls is expected to be heavy and wet.

Whatever snow accumulates with this storm won’t stay around long. Temperatures are forecasted to rise to near 50 degrees Tuesday afternoon. The sun will return Wednesday with high temperatures in the mid-50s.

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday directed state agencies to prepare emergency response assets for the late-season winter storm system.

Given the potential impacts of this system, New Yorkers should prepare for See WINTER A8

By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — The results are in for the Catskill Central School District’s survey for how to use a half-dozen classrooms that the district will gain access to this fall. Special education programs finished first in the district’s poll.

The Catskill Academy program from BOCES Questar III is set to move from its location in a separate wing of Catskill High School after 11 years to a new location in Durham this fall.

With the BOCES program set to move to the former site of the Durham Elementary School, the district will have six classrooms, two offices and an additional space to expand the

WASHINGTON — Michael Bzdil, 8, peered over the fence that lined the habitat at the National Zoo in the Woodley Park neighborhood of Northwest Washington. He watched as pandas crawled out of the gate toward the large fruitcake that was set out for them on Saturday.

“It says 50,” Michael said, pointing to one of the cakes.

“You know why?” his mother, Mavourneen Bzdil, asked. Michael shook his head. “Because it has been 50 years since the pandas have lived here.”

Saturday officially marked the 50th anniversary of the arrival of the first giant pandas at the National Zoo as a gift from the Chinese government on April 16, 1972. Since then, millions of people from across the country have flocked to Washington, D.C., to see the black and white bears.

Bryan Amaral, senior curator of mammals at the National Zoo, said it is a destination spot for tourists, but specifically for “panda lovers,” since it is one of the three zoos in the United States where giant pandas reside. The others live at Zoo Atlanta and the Memphis Zoo. Under an agreement between China and the United States, cubs born in captivity at the National Zoo are sent to China before the age of four.

“This the first place I have ever worked that has ever had pandas,” said Amaral, who has had the job for five years. “There was a definitely a learning curve

and adjustment to exactly how gaga people are over pandas.”

The caking was filled with true Washington “pandamania.” The crowd kept their eyes centered on the three pandas living at the zoo: Xiao Qi Ji, a 1-year-old male, Mei Xiang, a 23-year-old female, and Tian Tian, a 24-year-old male. The zoo has hosted other pandas over the years, like Mei Xiang and Tian Tian’s other children, Bao Bao and Bei Bei. Some of the attendees have been following the lives of the beloved animals throughout the pandemic on the giant panda cam, the most popular webcam at the zoo. Over 4.2 million users have watched the live stream since the birth of Xiao Qi Ji on Aug. 21, 2020.

Sara Cureton started watching the cub when he was born via the live stream from her home in New Jersey. She drove five hours to attend the celebration. “Luckily, I have watched

some of these wonderful panda celebrations that the zoo puts on virtually from home, so I have seen these great cakes for them,” Cureton, 63, said. “But I have never been here in person to see the pandas enjoy them.

It was just as wonderful as I hoped.”

The “pandaversary” cakes were prepared from frozen diluted apple and pineapple juices, sugar cane, and rehydrated powdered carrots and sweet potatoes. They were decorated with apples, pears, bananas, carrots and sweet potatoes. Chinese Ambassador Qin Gang and National Zoo director Brandie Smith added the finishing touches of bamboo.

There were also treats for humans. The Chinese embassy brought special bao buns with a panda face to hand out to visitors as they came through.

Both Qin and Smith shared in opening remarks that the program at the zoo was evidence of

successful conservation efforts between China and the United States to preserve the global giant panda population.

“People will ask me if giant pandas get too much attention,” Smith said in an interview after the celebration. “The reality is this is what it takes to save an endangered species. You need not just people in one country to appreciate the animal, but you need people around the world to be.”

The crowd cheered as one of the pandas knocked over the zero atop the cake. Many donned themed gear with panda shirts, panda masks and panda hats.

Michael was not wearing any themed attire, but he noted he had multiple stuffed pandas at home. His favorite one is the biggest one, he explained, named Bao Bao, in honor of the panda who lived at the zoo until 2017. Both he and Bao Bao were born in 2013, a happy coincidence that launched his love for pandas. He gets up “a whole lot early” to make it in time for the celebration since the Bzdils live in Maryland, but it was worth it to see them, he said.

Everley Greenwell, 5, and Lorelai Greenwell, 6, chose to bring their mini cameras so they could capture photos of the pandas moving around the zoo. Everley said her favorite part was seeing the pandas play together. Lorelai liked seeing the pandas eat the cake.

They both knew it was a special day. Their mother, Kayleigh Greenwall, leaned down to ask, “What was today called?” Everley swiftly replied, “Panda day!”

Infowars files for bankruptcy amid Sandy Hook lawsuits Boomberg News

Companies owned by farright radio host Alex Jones filed for bankruptcy after being hit by a flurry of lawsuits.

Three entities, including his website Infowars, sought Chapter 11 protection in Southern Texas, each with estimated liabilities of as much as $10 million, according to court filings.

Chapter 11 filings allow a business to keep operating while working on a turnaround plan, and pause pending civil litigation.

Jones and his companies last year were found liable in a defamation lawsuit brought by relatives of children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre after Jones called the shootings a hoax. A trial in

Connecticut to determine the size of the damages has yet to take place. He was also found liable in similar proceedings in Texas.

Lawyers representing Jones

and his businesses have said the defamation lawsuit was strategically filed to silence their free speech on matters of public interest, according to court filings.

Judges in Connecticut and

Texas issued default judgments against Jones after he failed to turn over documents including financial information. Pattis & Smith said the plaintiffs’ probe into the financial ties between Jones and his various entities is akin to a “collections action” and a “fishing expedition.”

In March, lawyers representing relatives of Sandy Hook shooting victims sought an arrest order for Jones after he skipped a court-ordered deposition, citing health reasons.

Jones appeared for the deposition after facing hefty fines.

The cases are InfoW LLC 2260020, IWHealth LLC 22-60021, Prison Planet TV LLC 22-60022.

Russian warship’s sinking raises tense questions about fate of crew Jeanne Whalen The Washington Post

The sinking of the Russian warship Moskva is causing tension back home, where some families are asking questions about the fate of the crew and a prominent state TV anchor is demanding answers about how the debacle happened.

The flagship of Russia’s Black Sea fleet sank last week after being hit by two Ukrainian missiles, delivering a significant blow to Russia’s naval capacity, U.S. and Ukrainian officials said.

Russia confirmed that the ship sank but said only that it had been damaged by “heavy storms” and a fire that caused ammunition on board to detonate. On April, 14 Russia’s defense ministry said all crew members had been evacuated from the ship. The authorities have not confirmed any dead or wounded.

But one sailor’s mother said

her surviving son told her that about 40 people died and many were wounded and missing in the sinking. The newspaper Novaya Gazeta Europe published the unnamed woman’s remarks on Sunday, saying it had reviewed documents proving that the son served in the navy, though not specific proof that he had been aboard the Moskva when it sank.

Questions from other people claiming to be relatives of Moskva crew members also appeared on social media and were picked up in the Russian media. The Washington Post was not able to reach the account holders to verify the information.

On Sunday, a user of the social-media platform VKontakte said the ship’s commanders told him that his son Yegor, a conscript, was among those missing in the tragedy.

Russia earlier “said that the entire crew had been evacuated.

It’s a lie! A blatant and cynical

lie!” Dmitry Shkrebets wrote.

“After my attempts to clarify the details of the incident, the cruiser commander and his deputy stopped communicating with me,” Shkrebets wrote.

“I ask everyone who is not afraid and not indifferent, spread this appeal of mine wherever you have the opportunity” so the tragedy is not hushed-up.

In a later post, Shkrebets said three families from different parts of Russian contacted him to say their children were also missing from the sunken ship.

On Russian state-controlled TV, meanwhile, one widely followed anchor said he was

OUR VIEW

Action on outdoor tourism welcome The outdoor recreation industry is taking a terrible beating on several fronts.

The pandemic kept people indoors for months. Runaway inflation has driven up the prices of hospitality and recreation. Out-ofcontrol gasoline prices are discouraging travelers from driving to distant getaway places.

That’s why U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s proposed legislation aimed at reinvigorating the state’s outdoor industry is welcome news, especially to the predominantly rural counties of Greene and Columbia, which rely heavily on the tourism dollar for their revenue base.

“Outside tourism is a booming industry for us,” New York’s senior senator said Friday. “And despite this, federal investment has remained low for programs that support outdoor recreation. We have

lots of federal programs to encourage manufacturing, encourage small business, encourage lots of different things, but we don’t have much to encourage outdoor tourism.”

The Rural Outdoor Investment Act is designed to encourage the federal government to enhance and invest in rural outdoor areas. New York’s outdoor recreation industry generates more than $21 billion in economic activity and $15.9 billion in salaries and wages. The industry also sustains 240,000 jobs.

Outdoor recreation has historically been underfunded. Columbia County, for example, is home to excellent waterfronts in many of the Hudson River towns but access to them is limited because they lack boat ramps, boardwalks and other suitable outdoor facilities.

Money for planning will go to small towns and

villages to help with items such as marketing, branding, business development, fundraising and tourism management. The legislation would provide $25 million over five years for planning grants to communities to create recreation economy plans and $12.5 million over five years for university partnerships to promote research, education and technical assistance for environmental concerns.

This legislation is, of course, a small vision of a larger picture that must include suppressing the coronavirus, stabilizing the national economy and increasing consumer confidence. That will be easier said than done, but the Rural Outdoor Investment Act, symbolically presented at the head of the Empire State Trail in Kinderhook, shows a clear path forward.

ANOTHER VIEW

To help Trump, Republicans take a coward’s way around debates (c) 2022, The Washington Post

The Republican National Committee on Thursday voted unanimously to pull out of the Commission on Presidential Debates, the group that every four years organizes live face-offs between major presidential candidates. Republicans accuse the commission of bias, a charge that is especially nonsensical, given how the nonpartisan nonprofit maintained its steadfast neutrality even in the face of Donald Trump’s attempts to hijack the 2016 and 2020 presidential debates.

In fact, a repeat of those experiences is what Republicans really have to fear. In 2020, President Trump’s first debate against challenger Joe Biden was a disaster for the incumbent, as he constantly interrupted his opponent, made wild claims and raged on national television. Though low on substance, that debate provided the public a live glimpse at the out-ofcontrol personality then in the Oval Office. While the debacle was one of his own making, Trump has long claimed that the commission rigged the debates

against him.

Now Republicans running for all sorts of offices are skipping debates, a phenomenon of a piece with the GOP’s broader rejection of mainstream news and fact-checking outlets - and the party’s concomitant slide into an echo chamber of alternative facts.

This reflects poorly on Republicans’ confidence that their candidates can withstand straightforward questioning, marshal their arguments and defend their positions when they are challenged. It also exposes contempt for voters, whom they assume will not care. Debates - if they happen - would be conducted under rules negotiated and set by political campaigns and parties, without the approval of an independent body. To use one of Trump’s favorite words, they could be rigged.

In truth, the debates need reform - but in ways that would make it harder for Trump and showmen like him to make a mockery of the proceedings and what they are intended to achieve. There should be no more live audiences.

Moderators should be

able to cut candidates’ microphones when they flagrantly violate agreedupon rules, as Trump did in 2020. Questions also remain about the extent to which moderators can or should engage in live factchecking.

Since the first televised presidential debates - in 1960, between Vice President Richard Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy, in which Nixon came off poorly and helped seal his loss in an excruciatingly close race - these candidate clashes have generated controversy. Both parties have complained. Yet even in their imperfect form, presidential debates are among the few times in which the wide swaths of Americans who are not glued to cable news channels see the candidates for sustained periods of time and take their measure, in circumstances over which the parties do not have total control. By slinking away from the commission, Republicans reveal their low regard not just for a process that sometimes falls short, but for the electorate itself.

Is Dianne Feinstein still up to the job?

WASHINGTON — Meetings at which attendees had to reintroduce themselves — several times — to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

Senate colleagues who aren’t sure she fully recognizes them. A memorial service for a San Francisco official at which Feinstein failed in her remarks to mention the dead woman, whom she had known for decades.

The portrayal of the 88-year-old Feinstein in an article this week in the San Francisco Chronicle was devastating, painful and, from my own reporting, accurate.

“Colleagues worry Dianne Feinstein is now mentally unfit to serve, citing recent interactions,” the headline read.

“Four U.S. senators, including three Democrats, as well as three former Feinstein staffers . . . told The Chronicle in recent interviews that her memory is rapidly deteriorating,” reported Tal Kopan and Joe Garofoli. “They said it appears she can no longer fulfill her job duties without her staff doing much of the work required to represent the nearly 40 million people of California.”

In a telephone call with the Chronicle editorial board after the story published, Feinstein proclaimed herself “rather puzzled by all of this.”

“I meet regularly with leaders,” Feinstein told the board.

“I’m not isolated. I see people.

My attendance is good. I put in the hours.”

This is not a new issue.

Feinstein’s handling of the 2018 Brett M. Kavanaugh confirmation hearings — in particular, her decision not to alert fellow lawmakers to the allegations by Christine Blasey Ford — prompted a near-insurrection by her Democratic colleagues. Her performance at the 2020 confirmation hearings for Justice Amy Coney Barrett, including her post-hearing hug of Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey O. Graham, R-S.C., and thanks for “one of the best set of hearings that I’ve participated in,” was the last straw.

WASHINGTON POST

RUTH

MARCUS Under pressure from Senate Democratic leader Charles E. Schumer, Feinstein announced she would step down from her position as the committee’s ranking Democrat. According to the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer, that took “several serious and painful talks,” in part because “Feinstein seemed to forget about the conversations soon after they talked, so Schumer had to confront her again.”

Feinstein is the oldest sitting senator, but she is far from the only official whose mental acuity has been called into question. In their final years in office, Sens. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., and Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., were widely understood to have faded to the point where their senior staffs were essentially functioning in their place.

The current Senate is the oldest ever, and Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, just three months younger than Feinstein, is running for reelection; he would be 95 by the conclusion of his eighth term.

So one question raised by the focus on Feinstein must be whether, as some of her defenders insinuate, there is sexism at work. I think I have pretty good radar for sexism, and I just don’t see it. Times have changed since the deficits of Thurmond and Byrd were ignored; I suspect they now would be subjected to the same kind of scrutiny Feinstein is facing.

Indeed, one theme in the coverage of Feinstein’s decline is how different she is now from the tough-minded Feinstein of days gone by.

As the Los Angeles Times’s Mark Z. Barabak wrote in

a sympathetic column last month about Feinstein’s performance at the Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation hearings, “The widely admired pathbreaker who opened avenues for women in politics and the steely-spined lawmaker who took on the National Rifle Association to pass an assault weapons ban was nowhere to be seen.”

To the extent that there is differential treatment, the explanation might be less gender than ideology. Progressive Democrats long frustrated by Feinstein’s centrism are eager for a more liberal replacement.

The Feinstein story evokes broader issues: the unwillingness of so many who hold power to cede it voluntarily, with their identities and support systems so bound up in their jobs; and the inability of our political system, in the absence of term limits (which I oppose for other reasons), to deal with those unwilling to recognize when it is time to step down. In the private sector, a board of directors would find a way to shunt a senile CEO aside. In public life, the only effective mechanism is the voters themselves.

Which gets to the heart of the puzzle: How are voters supposed to know what’s up when an elected official’s staff works overtime to mask the problem? The instinct to do so is understandable. Loyalty to the principal is one of the highest values in political life, and your role as a staffer is to support the boss, not expose her. But this approach is also deeply self-interested. If aides in normal times are only as powerful as the official they serve, they can become extra powerful when the same official is no longer functioning.

These inherent tensions help explain the high turnover from Feinstein’s office in recent years. Covering up is not public service. At a certain point, it is the antithesis.

Easter Egg roll returns to the White House Niels Lesniewski CQ-Roll Call

WASHINGTON— Cold precipitation could not stop the White House Easter Egg Roll, a tradition that returned Monday after being canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic the last two years.

The event took on an education or “EGGucation” theme, thanks to first lady Jill Biden’s background as a teacher.

Before President Joe Biden and the first lady emerged from the White House joined by two Easter bunnies, Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth could be seen reading to one group of children at the South Lawn “reading nook.”

“Welcome to the Easter Egg Roll,” Jill Biden said. “The president and I are so excited that you are here. As your first lady and as a teacher, I’ve seen it again and again that learning doesn’t only happen

in the classroom. There are so many fun opportunities to learn around us every day.

And that’s especially true here at the White House.”

Celebrities and popular characters were all around, including Jimmy Fallon, the host of “The Tonight Show” on NBC, who cheered on his daughters in an Easter egg roll race and then joined the president and first lady on stage at the reading nook to read his own children’s book “Nana Loves You More.”

Fallon’s reading came following the Bidens’ reading of “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” Among the political attendees on the South Lawn were Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona and Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who is running in the Democratic primary for Senate.

Russia’s war in Ukraine puts global energy transition at crossroad Brian Eckhouse (c) 2022, Bloomberg ·

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is upending the global transition away from fossil fuels in the fight against climate change.

In some ways, the war is slowing the shift and giving old energy new life. In others, it’s bolstering the argument that adding more electric vehicles to roads and installing additional wind turbines and solar panels can boost energy independence. In some places, both are happening at once.

This much is clear: Without Russian energy, countries around the globe are being forced to make hard choices on how to fuel their economies, putting the energy transition at a crossroad.

“The concern is that the knee-jerk reaction is to just focus on fossil fuels,” said Ethan Zindler, an analyst at BloombergNEF, the energy data and analysis unit of Bloomberg. “But longer term, it bodes well for energy transition.”

The altered energy outlook will be among the discussions expected at BloombergNEF’s two-day energy, technology and finance summit that starts Tuesday in New York. n Coal The rush to punish Russia by deserting its energy offerings has led to a short-term surge in demand for coal, despite its grim long-term prospects. That demand has sent prices to record highs.

Days after Russia invaded Ukraine, concerns about supply drove the Australian benchmark for thermal coal to $440 a metric ton, more than five times the price a year earlier.

But while soaring coal consumption is a setback to the climate fight, it’s also true that miners of the dirtiest of fossil fuels are struggling to increase production to meet

that demand. n Gasoline and Crude Soaring gasoline prices compelled U.S. President Joe Biden to order an unprecedented release of emergency domestic crude, a move geared at easing consumer pain in an election year. His administration-which has tried to speed the country’s energy transition-also is planning to allow expanded sales of gasoline with a higher-than-usual ethanol concentration this summer But $5-per-gallon gasoline focuses the mind on alternatives, which could be a boon for electric vehicles, according to Zindler.

“When gas was at $2.50, you pulled out your spreadsheet to see how you’d save money with an EV over 10 years,” he said. “Now, the math is getting easier.” n Liquefied Natural Gas Even before Russia’s invasion, Europe was paying some of the world’s highest prices for natural gas.

Now, in an effort to end energy dependence on Russia, several nations including

Germany, Latvia, Estonia, Greece and Italy are seeking to develop new import terminals for liquefied natural gas.

Several of those potential European buyers recently met with U.S. LNG companies in Washington D.C. and Houston in addition to touring an LNG plant in Texas.

Since the start of the war, U.S. LNG developers have signed at least 10 deals, providing momentum for stalled projects that have held federal permits for several years though lacked contracts and financing to move forward. n Hydrogen While Europe scours for fossil fuels in the short term, the continent’s push away from Russian natural gas is leading to billions of dollars in new commitments for a low-carbon hydrogen market.

A goal: substitute hydrogen for fossil fuels in manufacturing, transportation and heating.

Even before Russia’s invasion, interest in hydrogen was mounting, primarily because of its apparent climate

benefits. But the war has accelerated that push. n Solar and Wind Interest in less polluting power sources has also picked up, especially in Europe, since the Russian invasion. The crisis brought “to light the fragility around traditional energy sources,” Jeff Waters, chief executive officer of manufacturer Maxeon Solar Technologies Ltd., said in an interview.

Solar and wind power are among the cheapest electrical sources-plus, crucially for this moment, there are no fuel costs.

“There has seldom been a more compelling argument for us to accelerate our investment into renewables, into domestic energy sources, into clean energy sourcesboth for our political and economic dependence, but also for for climate change purposes,” said Christiana Figueres, a climate advocate and former executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. “These actually go hand in hand.”

Unregulated Texas gas pipeline FUNERAL DIRECTORS triggers a huge methane leak Aaron Clark and Naureen Malik Bloomberg News

A natural gas pipeline in Texas leaked so much of the super-potent greenhouse gas methane in little more than an hour that by one estimate its climate impact was equivalent to the annual emissions from about 16,000 U.S. cars.

The leak came from a 16-inch pipe that’s a tiny part of a vast web of unregulated lines across the U.S., linking production fields and other sites to bigger transmission lines.

Although new federal reporting requirements start next month for so-called gathering lines, the incident highlights the massive climate damage even minor parts of the network can inflict.

Energy Transfer LP, which operates the line where the leak occurred through its ETC Texas Pipeline Ltd. unit, said an investigation into the cause of the event last month is ongoing and all appropriate regulatory notifications were made. It called the pipe an “unregulated gathering line.”

The timing of the release and its location appeared to match a plume of methane observed by a European Space Agency satellite that geoanalytics firm Kayrros SAS called the most severe in the U.S. in a year.

Bloomberg investigations into methane observed by satellite near energy facilities show the invisible plumes often coincide with routine work and deliberate releases.

Methane is the primary component of natural gas and traps 84 times more heat than carbon dioxide during its first 20 years in the atmosphere. Severely curbing or eliminating releases

of the gas from fossil fuel operations is crucial to avoiding the worst of climate change. The International Energy Agency has said oil and gas operators should move beyond emissions intensity goals and adopt a zero-tolerance approach to methane releases.

ETC Texas Pipeline reported a “line break” that lasted from 8:08 a.m. to 9:17 a.m. local time March 17 on its Big Cowboy pipeline that is jointly owned with Kinder Morgan Inc., according to a filing to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The incident caused a release of 52,150 thousand standard cubic feet of natural gas.

The event likely released about 900 metric tons of methane into the atmosphere, according to the Environmental Defense Fund, a non-profit group that has used aerial surveys to map releases of the fossil gas over oil and gas operations in the U.S. Permian basin. That amount of the greenhouse gas will trap about as much heat as 75,600 tons of carbon dioxide during its first two decades in the atmosphere.

The ETC Texas Pipeline filing to the TCEQ didn’t include an estimate for how much methane was released and the state agency said it doesn’t regulate releases of the gas. The Texas Railroad Commission said it has an ongoing investigation into the Big Cowboy incident without elaborating. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said that as of April 7 it hadn’t received a report about the release but that it’s communicating with the TCEQ. One of the major insights from satellite observations of methane is the amount

of total emissions for which super-emission events are responsible. Although these events can be infrequent and sometimes only last a few hours, oil and gas ultra-emitters account for as much as 12% of global methane emissions from the sector, according to a study published in Science in February by French and American scientists. The researchers used satellite observations to identify more than 1,800 major releases of the gas.

Except for rare over-pressurization events that can pose significant safety risks, there are almost always ways to significantly minimize methane releases from pipelines, according to Bill Caram, executive director at the Pipeline Safety Trust. However, these techniques haven’t been required in the U.S. Since pipeline operators are reimbursed for any lost or unaccounted gas through their negotiated rates, they have no financial incentive to keep the gas in the pipe, he added.

“Ultimately, the consumer is paying for all of this climatewrecking methane being released into the atmosphere,” Caram said in an email.

Frustration over hearing the same old thing about obesity

By Inez Whitehead Dickens For Columbia-Greene Media

Dear Warriors, I get so frustrated when I hear the same old thing, “obesity is one of the root causes of diseases, so eat healthy.” Now there is truth to this statement, obesity is the foundation of many diseases or at the very least interferes with recovery. We interpret this to mean eat natural organic rather than processed food.

Now I’m sure we can agree this makes sense; but my question is why is the healthy organic food more expensive, making it out of reach to people on a fixed income? My next question is, is it worth the money to buy organic food? I wanted an answer to my question, so I went looking. Some of the information I found in a blog written by Susan Watson, Executive editor of the Harvard Women’s Health Watch.

In the United States, food can be labeled “organic” even if it’s only 95% organic.

People who buy organic fruits and vegetables feel they’re free from chemical fertilizers and pesticides. With regard to meat and poultry they feel the animals are not fed antibiotics or growth hormones. There is some truth to this; but to evaluate the health claims of organic food, researchers at

CANCER KICKIN’ WARRIOR

INEZ

WHITEHEAD-DICKENS Stanford University evaluated nearly 250 studies comparing the nutrients in organic vs traditional foods, i.e. fruit, vegetables, grains, meat and eggs.

The researchers found very little difference in nutritional content, aside from slightly higher phosphorous levels in organic food and higher omega-3 fatty acid content in organic milk and chicken.

Organic produce did have a slight edge in food safety with a 30% lower pesticide residue than conventional; however both were in the allowable safety limits. There haven’t been enough studies to evaluate pesticide exposure to confirm the health effects in children or pregnant women.

Organic chicken and pork were also about a third less likely to contain antibiotic resistant bacteria than conventionally raised chicken and pork. However, the bacteria

that cause food poisoning were equally present in both types of foods.

But there are disadvantages to buying organic: Organic has the possibility of going bad a lot quicker.

More Expensive.

Minimal Chemicals Allowed.

No Health Benefits.

No Nutritional Proof.

Even Low-Level Pesticides can be harmful.

High Bacterial Levels.

So a lot of facts here folks to decide which is better for you.

You don’t have to go completely organic or completely conventional. Unfortunately, we all are a victim of subliminal suggestion. Example, we’re watching a television show and during intermission the ad keeps showing a Big Mac. After seeing this Big Mac all day, you say to yourself, ”Damn! I feel like a Big Mac.” Our demanding schedules cause us to rely on fast food.

Now it’s okay to eat it once in a while, but don’t make it our primary source of food.

You don’t need a doctor to tell you this. So read https:// mindrightdetroit.com/faq/ faq-why-does-organic-costmore.html and put that Big Mac down.

Red Cross asks the public to give blood during National Minority Health Month ALBANY — April is National Minority Health Month — a time to raise awareness about health disparities that disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minority populations.

The American Red Cross is reminding blood and platelet donors it’s critically important to maintain a stable blood supply this spring to support those with chronic illnesses and other blood needs in the U.S. Blood transfusions remain one of the most critical treatments for patients like those living with sickle cell disease — the majority of whom are of African and Latin descent — and beta thalassemia major, which disproportionately affects those of Asian descent.

Additionally, women who are Black are more likely than women who are white to experience severe postpartum hemorrhage, often requiring blood transfusion. To help ensure all patients have access to the blood products they count on, donors are urged to make an appointment by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

As a thank-you, those who come to give through April 18 will receive an exclusive Red Cross Tshirt, while supplies last. Those who come to give April 19-May 19 will receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of choice and will be automatically entered to win a new travel trailer camper that sleeps eight, all courtesy of our partners at Suburban Propane. Terms apply, see rcblood.org/camper.

As a benefit to donors, the Red Cross provides vital health insights to help aid in awareness, prevention, early detection and monitoring for better health outcomes. All presenting blood donors receive a free mini-health screening

with insights on pulse, blood pressure and hemoglobin.

Vital signs are recorded in the donor’s online profile where they can track and monitor their results via the Red Cross Blood Donor App or at RedCrossBlood.org and share the results with their health care provider.

The Red Cross is testing blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies. The test may indicate if the donor’s immune system has produced antibodies to this coronavirus after vaccination or past exposure, regardless of whether they developed symptoms. Plasma from routine blood, platelet and plasma donations that have high levels of COVID-19 antibodies may be used as convalescent plasma to meet potential future needs of COVID-19 patients with weakened immune systems.

The Red Cross is not testing donors to diagnose infection, referred to as a diagnostic test. To protect the health and safety of Red Cross staff and donors, it is important that individuals who have been asked to quarantine or believe they may be ill with COVID-19 postpone donation until they are symptom free for 10 days and feeling well and healthy.

At a time when health information has never been more important, the Red Cross is screening all blood, platelet and plasma donations from self-identified African American donors for the sickle cell trait. This additional screening will provide Black donors with an additional health insight and help the Red Cross identify compatible blood types more quickly to help patients with sickle cell disease. Blood transfusion is an essential treatment for those with sickle cell disease, and blood donations from individuals of the same race, ethnicity and blood

type have a unique ability to help patients fighting sickle cell disease.

Donors can expect to receive antibody testing results and sickle cell trait screening results, if applicable, within one to two weeks through the Red Cross Blood Donor App and the online donor portal at RedCrossBlood.org.

Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows high standards of safety and infection control, and additional precautions — including face masks for donors and staff, regardless of vaccination status — have been implemented to help protect the health of all those in attendance. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at the drive.

Donors can also save up to 15 minutes at the blood drive by completing a RapidPass®.

With RapidPass®, donors complete the pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of donation, from a mobile device or computer. To complete a RapidPass®, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App. To donate blood, individuals need to bring a blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification that are required at check-in.

Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also must meet certain height and weight requirements.

Anderson Center for Autism hosts POWDD for tour and discussion about funding, programs and its vision for the future STAATSBURGH — Anderson Center for Autism announced that representatives from the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) met with members of its executive team at the nonprofit organization’s Staatsburg campus last week. Anderson had extended an invitation to OPWDD’s new Commissioner, Kerri Neifeld, to visit and learn more about the role that schools like Anderson Center for Autism play in providing a continuum of service to children and adults with autism spectrum disorder.

Neifeld was joined by Jen O’Sullivan, Director of Communications and Public Information; Joan Volpe, Director, Capital District DDRO; and Kelly Welsh, Administrative Specialist. Accompanying Anderson’s executive leadership team were Board of Trustees Chair Philip J. Bronzi, along with Tondra Lynford, an Anderson parent, Chair of Anderson Center International Board of Trustees, and Anderson Center for Autism trustee.

“We are very grateful for OPWDD’s visit and the very fruitful dialogue that took shape. Residential schools like ours are few and far between, so we felt it was important to shed light on a number of things, including our ABA program, our recent preschool opening, our plans for a site in the Capital Region, and our need for adequate funding specifically as it relates to creating residential opportunities for graduates. In addition, we reviewed ways to expedite placement of those students who have aged out of our educational program but remain on our campus. We also addressed the fact that New York State students often end up with out-of-state placements because they are not receiving services here - and what

solutions might be feasible to change that situation. These are all critically important topics, especially now as incidence rates have climbed to 1 in 44. We must develop and implement solutions where there are challenges, and find ways to maximize opportunities as well,” said Tina Covington, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer at Anderson Center for Autism.

Added Tina Chirico, Chief Financial Officer at Anderson Center for Autism, “We are always working to enhance our educational, vocational, and residential programs for people with autism, and this visit with OPWDD Commissioner Neifeld gave us a chance to highlight the need for strong and ongoing financial support in order to do so.

We especially need proper funding to help our graduates transition to adult homes and adult lives, which will then open doors for new students waiting for placements. Our guests from OPWDD really leaned into the dialogue and listened for understanding, even requesting that they be included when the time comes to open our new clinic in the Albany area. We were

very impressed with their level of engagement, and we are excited about what lies ahead.”

In addition to the dialogue about Anderson’s needs, programs, and vision for the future, the meeting also resulted in an unexpected presentation: a New York State Proclamation for Anderson Center for Autism in recognition of Autism Awareness Month. It is signed by New York State Governor Kathy Hochul.

“It’s very rewarding to be acknowledged for our efforts to carry out our mission of optimizing the quality of life for people with autism. We will continue to do everything possible to build a strong continuum of services for this population, collaborating in an ongoing way with OPWDD and all entities who can help us make the future as promising as possible for those diagnosed and their families,” said Covington.

Pudgy Texas state troopers who don’t shrink their waists could be pulled off enforcement duties Allie Morris The Dallas Morning News

AUSTIN, Texas — More than 200 state troopers will need to slim down by year’s end or face discipline under a controversial policy the Texas Department of Public Safety is enforcing to limit the size of officers’ waistlines.

Men with waists over 40 inches and women over 35 inches now have to track and share their weight-loss efforts with DPS, according to documents obtained by The Dallas Morning News.

“I will drink no more than one diet soda each day,” one officer pledged in a fitness improvement plan obtained by The News.

Another set out to “drastically cut sugar intake in all its forms” and avoid fast food.

Officers who don’t trim down by December — even if they pass all other required physical fitness tests — can be denied promotions and overtime, or removed from enforcement duties.

In the latest round of testing, most officers who failed the waist measurement passed the department’s running, rowing and weight-lifting tests — suggesting that state troopers with proven strength and stamina may be discounted simply for their size.

The possibility of taking officers out of the field comes as the department is struggling

three-year period for the annual cost of $1.

The lease began on April 1 and will run until March 31, 2025.

The site will host the county’s edition of the Dwyer Program, which provides peer-topeer services for veterans.

When the Hudson Valley National Center for Veteran Reintegration, which is based in Kingston, requested the space for a satellite office in the county, the county determined that the Cairo office space would be an ideal site.

Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said the county did not consider charging the veterans group rent for use of the Cairo office space.

“It certainly wasn’t an issue where we’d charge rent,” he said Monday. “We’ve had this available space. It was previously used by another nonprofit agency that has now moved on to another site. So it really has to do with the significance being the expansion of services for the vets. The Dwyer Program is really a different program than what our previous focus was on, which was focused on counseling or trying to get medical benefits for veterans.”

On April 6, the legislature’s Health Services Committee

with recruitment and ramping up activity at the state’s border with Mexico under Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star.

Department leaders insist a trim midsection is necessary for officers to have a commanding “presence” in dealings with the public. For years, they’ve been pushing to crackdown on overweight troopers, citing health concerns like obesity and cardiovascular problems. But the coronavirus pandemic slowed the waistline policy’s full rollout until this year.

As of April, 213 officers — out of about 4,000 total — had failed the waistline requirement, according to the department.

Only two of the 213 also failed the physical fitness test for which officers can choose between rowing tests, a combat fitness evaluation or a standard assessment that includes a mile-and-a-half run, push-ups and sit-ups.

Critics say the waist requirement is arbitrary, unfairly harsh on women and doesn’t directly relate to an officer’s job duties.

“DPS is continuing in its plan to harass, discipline, and even discharge outstanding officers for not meeting its physical fitness testing standards and appearance standards,” the Texas Department of Public Safety Officers Association said in a statement.

The association sued to stop the

waistline policy in 2019, but the lawsuit was dismissed as no penalties had kicked in. It’s not clear whether another challenge is in the works.

A DPS spokesperson said the state agency “continuously evaluates all programs for improvement.”

“Recommendations and potential changes will be discussed at the August 2022 (Public Safety Commission) meeting after the department has analyzed data from two complete testing cycles,” the statement said. Officers must undergo physical fitness testing in the spring and fall.

According to department policy, officers with waists over the limit can still pass using other measures based on height and weight or a percentage of body fat. It’s not clear how many did.

When officers’ waists are deemed too large, they must write and share with DPS a fitness improvement plan laying out their eating and exercise goals. Most plans call for officers to submit documentation of their efforts — failing to follow the plan can lead to consequences. The News obtained copies of several plans from DPS through an open records request. The officers’ names are redacted, but several describe the challenges they’re trying to overcome.

Erik Larson and Fiona Rutherford Bloomberg News

A federal judge overturned the U.S. government mask mandate on airplanes, trains and other public transportation, dealing a blow to the Biden administration as fights continue nationwide over policies tied to the COVID-19 pandemic.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Tampa, Florida, vacated the mask requirement nationwide and directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to reverse the policy put in place in February 2021.

The ruling came in a lawsuit filed by the Health Freedom Defense Fund.

Mizelle, an appointee of former president

Donald Trump, ruled that the CDC had incorrectly described the mask mandate as a form of “sanitation” to justify its authority in the matter.

“Wearing a mask cleans nothing,” Mizelle wrote.

“At most, it traps virus droplets. But it neither ‘sanitizes’ the person wearing the mask or ‘sanitizes’ the conveyance.”

The judge also found that the CDC had gone too far by issuing a regulation that “acts on individuals directly” rather than just their “property interests.”

“Since the mask mandate regulates an individual’s behavior — wearing a mask — it imposes directly on liberty interests,” she wrote.

courses, was the second-most mentioned topic, with performing arts, life skills development, childcare and student support rounding out the categories.

The survey respondents requested smaller classes for special education, space for vocal and instrumental lessons, and space for life skills

courses such as cooking and computer skills development as possible uses for the classrooms.

The district released a second survey to identify which programs the public would most like to see utilize the class space.

“Results from the February 2022 survey were narrowed

down to six common themes,” Cook wrote Monday. “An additional survey was created to allow our stakeholders to prioritize the themes from most important to least important at this time. Our stakeholders have until Friday, April 22, to respond to the survey. The goal is to share the April 22 results with the community and

create a plan to implement the recommendations for the 2023-24 school year.”

The Catskill Academy program, which caters to students with special needs, is set to move to Durham after the Cairo-Durham Central School District Board of Education donated the former elementary school to BOCES. The move

will allow Catskill to expand its course offerings within the district, with the public suggesting in the initial survey that they would like to see special education programs in the newly available site that could include a sensory space, testing sites and work spaces for struggling students and teachers.

approved $92,500 in state funding for the veterans’ program, which will create a space for local vets to gather with their peers in a welcoming environment. The program will represent a new level of veteran engagement for the county.

“Every veteran is so different in terms of their eligibility,” Groden said. “So when they’re discharged and then getting them squared away with whatever benefits they’re eligible for has really been kind of the focal point of the office. The Dwyer Program is really something new and it really represents more hands-on services for the veterans themselves. It could be job training or it could just be an outlet for them. It could be a creative outlet based upon their stress, or it could be a hobby. Or it could be job training and they could pick up some skill sets perhaps that they didn’t have before. It’s kind of a whole new ballgame in terms of service level.”

Hinchey, D-Saugerties, who represents all of Greene County and portions of Columbia County for the state’s 46th’s Senate District, said the $220 billion approved state budget includes numerous victories for upstate residents.

“I fought for a budget that would get equity for upstate and strengthen our communities with transformational levels of investment for local needs that have been ignored for far too long, and I’m proud

to say that we delivered,” Hinchey said. “We secured record education funding, the largest investment for upstate housing in New York’s history and drove significant investment towards child care to support working families across our state. We made it easier to do business in New York with new tax credits and funding streams to help small businesses get back on their feet and grow. And we secured record-setting funding for broadband expansion, allowing us to make the kinds of improvements that can change the course of a community’s future. This budget shows what’s possible when upstate has a real seat at the policy table, and I’m proud of what we’ve been able to achieve for working people across SD-46.”

The budget, which was signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul on April 9, suspends the state sales tax on gas from June 1 to Dec. 31, while also providing a 16 cent per gallon gas tax holiday and allows counties to cap their sales tax at $2, $3 or $4 per gallon.

The approved budget also accelerates a reduction in middle-class income taxes beginning in the 2023 tax year and includes $287 million in child tax credits for New York families making less than $100,000.

“This year, we stood up for middle-class families, delivering real tax relief and savings that will significantly ease the financial pressures

hitting New Yorkers’ wallets,” Hinchey said. “I was proud to be a leading advocate to give people a reprieve at the pump through a gas tax holiday, which will translate to immediate savings and keep nearly $600 million in the pockets of New Yorkers. We accelerated a reduction in middle-class income taxes starting this year and created a new property tax rebate for middle-class homeowners — all ways that we are

making life more affordable for everyday New Yorkers.”

Groden said that while the first round of funding for the veterans peer-to peer-program is entirely provided by the state, he said he could envision a time when the county opts to expand the program.

“The initial funding is state funding, but I could see in the long haul that the big thing for the Dwyer Program is going to be a facility for a shop,”

Groden said. “What’s available in the mental health office is not going to be the full shop.

You’re not going to have any machines or tools or anything like that yet. So in the long run, I don’t know how the program will continue to be funded from the state level. If it meets with any kind of success for us, then I’m sure I’ll be looking for some space that would allow us to take full advantage of the program.”

potential downed tree limbs and power outages in the areas of the heaviest snowfall, even if surface accumulations are minimal, Hochul said.

The governor is also urging New Yorkers to use caution during the Tuesday morning commute.

“State agencies are ready to respond to this late season storm system and we are urging New Yorkers to keep an eye on the forecast for local impacts and take precautions if traveling on Tuesday,” Hochul said in a statement.

Kyle Busch wins on Bristol dirt course after wild ending Field Level Media

In a wild finish in NASCAR’s only Cup Series dirt event, Kyle Busch came from third to first off the final turn at Bristol Motor Speedway to win the Food City Dirt Race Sunday night in Bristol, Tenn.

Chase Briscoe ran down leader Tyler Reddick in a 24-lap shootout at the end, then Briscoe slid into Reddick and wrecked both cars, which slid down onto the Turn 4 apron.

Running third, Busch moved his Toyota

by Reddick – who led a race-high 99 laps – to win for the first time in 2022.

The victory snapped a 25-race losing streak by Busch, an eight-time winner on Bristol’s concrete surface.

“We got one. You know, it doesn’t matter how you get them. It’s all about getting them,” said Busch, whose 18 straight seasons with a Cup Series win tied Richard Petty for the record. “Overall, just real pumped to be back. Real pumped to get a win. This one means a lot.

“I can win on any surface here at Bristol.

Irving is embracing the dark side of his rivalry with Celtics fans Kristian Winfield New York Daily News

BOSTON — Kyrie Irving made it clear: He’s going to “embrace the dark side.” He’s going to give Celtics fans the same energy they give him.

On yet another night at the TD Garden laden with boos and expletives directed at Irving, the former Celtic who left the green and white for Brooklyn’s black and gray three offseasons ago, the Nets’ All-Star guard gave Boston fans the middle finger on multiple occasions — including a behind-the-head double-finger — and cursed out a fan

during halftime of the Nets’ Game 1 loss to the Celtics on Sunday.

“It’s nothing new when I come into this building what it’s gonna be like, but it’s the same energy they had for me, and imma have the same energy for them,” Irving said after hanging 39 points in the losing effort. “And it’s not every fan. I don’t want to attack every Boston fan, but when people start yelling ‘p----,’ and ‘b----,’ and ‘f--- you,’ and all this other stuff, there’s only but so much you can take as a competitor, and we’re the ones expected to be docile and be humble and take a humble approach.”

“Nah, f--- that. It’s the playoffs.

This is what it is. I know what to expect in here, and it’s the same energy I’m giving back to them. It is what it is.”

During last year’s playoff run, Irving stepped on the face of the Celtics’ half court logo — Lucky the Leprechaun — after the Nets won Game 4. A fan responded by throwing a water bottle at Irving on his way to the locker room. The fan was arrested and later released on $500 bail.

“All is fair in competitions,” Irving said of a possible run-in with Celtics fans on Friday ahead of

Game 1. “When emotions are running high, anything can happen and I think I just want to go in there with a poise and a composure and not pay attention to any of the extra noise. I can speak on so many different things but I choose not to.”

Irving refused to categorize Celtics’ fans actions as hostility on Sunday, but it appeared their negative energy fueled his game. Despite the entire TD Garden crowd booing him during pregame introductions and every time he touched the ball in Game 1, Irving shot 12-of-20 from the field and scored 18 points in the fourth quarter alone.

“I don’t think he worries about (the hostility),” Kevin Durant said of Irving. “I think he just plays his game and does what’s required out there tonight.”

Irving has gotten the same treatment from Celtics fans every game he’s played in Boston since leaving town for the Nets in the summer of 2019 and said he doesn’t worry much about the negative energy because of his history growing up and playing basketball in New Jersey and New York City.

“I’m not really focused on it.

Boston’s Wacha nearflawless in 8-1 win over Twins Jason Mastrodonato Boston Herald

BOSTON — The Red Sox hammered Michael Wacha in his final postseason appearance with the Rays last October, signed him to a $7 million deal in the off-season, and are now watching him flourish.

Making his first start for the Sox at Fenway Park on Easter Sunday against the Twins, Wacha mowed down the opposition over five scoreless innings, holding the Twins to just one hit while the Sox completed an impressive 8-1 victory.

Despite averaging just 91 mph on his fastball, down from 94 mph a year ago, Wacha used a heavy dose of changeups to keep the Twins off-balance. He cruised through the first three innings on just 37 pitches. He had to work for a 15-pitch strikeout of former Astros star Carlos Correa in the fourth, but was able to complete five innings on just 79 pitches before manager Alex Cora pulled the plug.

It was a masterful performance from a pitcher who has been one of the worst in baseball in recent years. From 2019 through 2021, Wacha’s 5.11 ERA ranked 84th out of 92 pitchers with 250 innings in that span.

He signed in Boston on a one-year deal worth $7 million as Chaim Bloom and Co. attempted to add pitching depth on a budget, never spending more than $10 million (James Paxton) on any one pitcher.

Wacha earned the No. 4 spot in the starting rotation and has looked like a hidden gem thus far, despite missing some velocity on his heater.

He threw more changeups than fourseam fastballs on Sunday, using 24 changeups and 22 four-seamers, generating two whiffs on each. He was aggressive in the strike zone and let his defense do the rest.

Rafael Devers had an outstanding day in the field, where he turned a double play at shortstop

in the fourth inning, then sprinted into center field to make an over-the-shoulder catch to rob Trevor Lamach of a single in the fifth.

Lefty Matt Strahm took over for Wacha in a 0-0 game in the sixth and continued to look like Cora’s secret weapon. The lefty pitched a shutdown sixth, though a single to Max Kepler cost him an earned run when Ryan Brasier entered and let Kepler score on a sacrifice fly by Lamach in the seventh.

Right-handers are 0-for10 against Strahm this season.

The Sox scored their first two runs on a pair of sacrifice flies in the bottom of the sixth. Devers started the frame with a softly hit liner to first base, but Miguel Sano couldn’t handle it and Devers reached on the error.

Xander Bogaerts, who has busted out of his mini-slump in a big way, hammered the ball all afternoon on Sunday, including a double off the Green Monster to push Devers to third base. Back-to-back sac flies by J.D. Martinez and Alex Verdugo cashed in Devers and Bogaerts.

They added six more in the eighth. Bogaerts hit an infield single to score Kike Hernandez from third, J.D. Martinez punched an RBI double off the wall to score another, Trevor Story cashed in two on a single up the middle, Jackie Bradley Jr. scored one with a line drive to right field and Kevin Plawecki pushed one across with another sac fly.

Bradley was on base three times. He’s been on base multiple times in three of the last four games, despite accomplishing the feat just 25 times during the entirety of the 2021 season.

The Sox’ bullpen was a big question mark coming into the season, but has looked just fine so far. Behind Strahm and Brasier, Jake Diekman handled a flawless eighth inning and Austin Davis pitched a scoreless ninth.

Jayson Tatum, Celtics beat Nets at buzzer Ben Golliver The Washington Post

The fourth quarter belonged to Kyrie Irving, right up until the last second.

In an instant classic at TD Garden on Sunday, the Boston Celtics claimed a 115-114 Game 1 victory over the visiting Brooklyn Nets in their first-round playoff series thanks to a buzzerbeating layup by Jayson Tatum.

With the Nets clinging to a one-point lead in the game’s final minute, the Celtics’ defense stonewalled Irving and forced Kevin Durant to take a deep three-pointer as the shot clock ticked down. Rather than calling a timeout after securing the defensive rebound, Boston pushed the ball up court with 10 seconds left as Brooklyn’s defense retreated.

Celtics forward Jaylen Brown drew a crowd as he drove hard to the right baseline before finding an open Marcus Smart on the left wing. Smart pump-faked as two Nets defenders raced to contest his shot, then stepped in to pass to Tatum, who was cutting through the paint behind Durant. Catching the pass on the move, Tatum spun counterclockwise to avoid Irving before lofting a right-handed layup that banked in as time expired.

“We all thought Smart was going to shoot it,” Tatum said.

“Last-second shot, [I was going to] just crash the glass and, if it doesn’t go in, try to make a play.

When he took that dribble, we made eye contact, and he made a great pass. I just had to make the layup. ... It doesn’t get any better than that: a buzzer-beater at home in front of our fans.

That’s probably as loud as I’ve heard it.”

Tatum posted a team-high 31 points, four rebounds and eight assists, but his gamewinner was his only field goal in the fourth quarter as Brooklyn

sought to aggressively deny him the ball. The buzzer-beater saved the Celtics from what would have been a painful collapse; they built a 15-point lead before being outscored 29-19 by the Nets in the final period.

The Celtics’ offensive chemistry has been a major development under first-year coach Ime Udoka; they improved from 25th in assists per game last year to 14th this year. Tatum said Boston’s collective trust keyed their league-best 17-5 record after the All-Star break.

“That [final play] was a microcosm of our season,” Udoka said. “Guys moving the ball and playing unselfish. Jaylen could have forced the shot on [Goran] Dragic; he saw three guys on him and kicked it to Marcus.

[Smart] could have forced the shot over two guys flying at him; he pump-faked and could have taken the pull-up, but he saw Jayson cutting. That’s where

we’ve really improved, and it came together on the last possession.”

Game 1’s charged atmosphere and sharp late-game swings lived up to pre-series expectations, which pegged Boston vs. Brooklyn as the most intriguing first-round matchup.

After the Nets conceded a 15-2 run early in the second half, a defiant Irving led a blistering comeback by scoring 18 points in the fourth quarter.

The seven-time All-Star guard responded to boos and heckles by twice flipping his middle finger toward the Boston fans, who remain upset by how Irving’s two-year Celtics tenure ended in 2019.

“When people start yelling p--- and b---- and f--- you, there’s only so much you can take as a competitor,” Irving said. “We’re the ones expected to be docile and be humble and take a humble approach. Nah, f--- that.

That’s the playoffs. I know what to expect in here, and it’s the same energy I’m giving back to them. ... If someone’s going to call out me out on my name, I’m going to look them straight in the eye and see if they’re really about it. Most of the time they’re not.”

Irving, who probably will be fined by the NBA for his profane gestures and postgame comments, finished with a gamehigh 39 points, five rebounds, six assists and four steals. His big night helped cover for Durant, who finished with 23 points on 9-for-24 shooting and committed six turnovers in an uncharacteristically flat showing.

“I’ve just got to be more fundamental with my moves,” Durant said. “I played fast and turned the ball over. I need to slow down and play my game.”

Boston, the East’s No. 2 seed, will host Brooklyn, the No. 7 seed, for Game 2 on Wednesday.

Orioles score five runs in eighth to beat Yankees Field Level Media

Rougned Odor and Kelvin Gutierrez each drove in two runs during a five-run eighth inning and the Baltimore Orioles beat the visiting New York Yankees 5-0 on Sunday.

The Orioles loaded the bases with two outs against Jonathan Loaisiga (0-1) before Odor entered as a pinch-hitter and broke a scoreless tie with a single to center field.

Lucas Luetge replaced Loaisiga to face Gutierrez, who delivered a two-run double to left field. Jorge Mateo capped the rally with an RBI single.

Jorge Lopez (1-1) pitched two scoreless innings for the victory. The Orioles took two of three against New York after losing 5-2 on Saturday.

Baltimore’s late-inning charge spoiled a stellar outing by Yankees starter Nestor Cortes, who struck out a career-high 12 batters over five-plus scoreless innings.

Cortes allowed three hits and issued one walk before departing after allowing a leadoff single to Austin Hays in the bottom of the sixth.

The left-hander retired six batters in a row by strikeout at one point. He recorded an immaculate inning in the fourth, striking out the side on nine pitches.

Baltimore began its rally in the eighth when Ryan Mountcastle singled and Trey Mancini walked. Loaisiga retired the next two batters before walking Robinson

Mets shut down Diamondbacks Field Level Media

WENDELL CRUZ/USA TODAY

New York Mets designated hitter Pete Alonso (20) hits a two-run home run in the seventh inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citi Field on Sunday.

Eduardo Escobar’s hustle double sparked an unusual three-run sixth-inning outburst Sunday afternoon by the New York Mets, who went on to beat the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0 in the finale of a three-game series.

J.D. Davis and James McCann collected RBIs later in the sixth and Pete Alonso remained redhot as a designated hitter by hitting a two-run homer in the seventh for the Mets, who have opened the season with seven wins in 10 games.

Five pitchers combined on the five-hitter for the Mets, with Chasen Shreve (1-0) earning the win by tossing two perfect innings.

The teams were locked in a scoreless duel until Francisco Lindor led off the sixth with an infield single against Noe Ramirez (0-1). Alonso followed with a pop-up to shortstop, where Geraldo Perdomo let it drop in order to force Lindor.

Escobar then delivered a hit just over the head of first baseman Christian Walker. With Alonso racing from first to third, Escobar never broke stride and headed for second, where Pavin Smith’s throw sailed over the head of Perdomo. Alonso trotted home with the first run and Escobar ended up at third.

Oliver Perez, making his 700th big league appearance, relieved Ramirez and walked Dominic Smith. Davis followed with a pinchhit single that scored Escobar and sent Dominic Smith to third. McCann flew out to left and Smith barely beat the throw home from Cooper Hummel.

The Diamondbacks, uncertain if Dominic Smith waited until the ball was caught to tag up, tried appealing as Luis Guillorme stepped into the batter’s box, but Davis took off for second. After beginning his motion towards third, Perez ran towards second but didn’t throw the ball as Davis recorded the stolen base. Perez then threw to third, but the appeal was denied.

Alonso’s round-tripper gave him three homers and 11 RBIs in three starts at designated hitter this year.

Escobar was the lone player on either team with two hits.

The Mets’ David Peterson allowed three hits and two walks while striking out four over 4 1/3 innings in his first start of the season. The Diamondbacks’ Humberto Castellanos, also making his first start of the year, gave up one hit and issued three walks while striking out one over four innings.

a tough field that included 42 players who competed at the Masters the week prior, including seven who finished in the Top 10. Conditions were challenging at times, especially on Friday, when winds gusted to 30

“These crowds were just fantastic for it being a non-major tournament,” Spieth said.

Cameron Young, a PGA Tour rookie and New York native who lives in Jupiter, Florida, fired an 8-under 63 that put him in the lead Thursday following the first round of the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing.

The last two RBC Heritage champions — Webb Simpson in 2020 and Stewart Cink in 2021 — held the 54-hole lead/colead after three rounds, just like Varner did this year. But Varner missed a birdie putt on the 18th and finished 12 under and tied for third. Varner finished in second place last year.

Inside the Lakers coaching search: Will they learn from problems of the past?

Dan Woike and Broderick Tuner Los Angeles Times

This wasn’t the purple-and-gold style of the Lakers’ “Showtime” excess. This jacket was two other colors — black and blacker.

Rob Pelinka, his salt-and-pepper stubble conferring an additional shade of graveness, wore it Monday as he talked about the first big decision of the Lakers’ offseason — the firing of coach Frank Vogel.

“We expressed gratitude for the three years of being able to work together with a capacity of trust and collective mindset and collaboration,” Pelinka said, “and just let him know it was a point in the Lakers history where we felt like it was time for a change in our leadership voice.

“And those are difficult things to do.”

In the grand scheme of the Lakers’ offseason, though, letting go the coach was the easy part.

Finding someone who can better lead them than Vogel, who won an NBA championship two seasons ago, won’t be easy.

The ruins of the Lakers’ season still fresh in his memory, Pelinka laid out the plan for this search amid controversy in how the team handled Vogel’s firing, the news leaking on social media moments after the final game of the season.

“We just felt like it was time for a new voice,” Pelinka said. “And that’s not to say anything against the incredible accomplishments that Frank Vogel’s had. He was a great coach here and he’s going to go on to be a great coach somewhere else. We just felt like it was time for a new leader.”

Now the Lakers are back in an all-too-familiar position, facing a massive decision surrounded by other enormous questions. Three years ago they were hiring a coach in the wake of Magic Johnson’s surprise resignation as team president of basketball operations. Now they’re fighting an image problem around the NBA and a leveraged future with LeBron James, the ultimate win-now player, getting older and, seemingly, more susceptible to injuries.

“There’s just so much optimism thinking about where we are as a franchise right now,” Pelinka said on May 20, 2019. The Lakers had just hired Vogel after a dramatic coaching search and no one could share that optimism.

Today, the Lakers face the same challenges as they try to find some goodwill after a 49-loss season and Vogel’s embarrassing exit.

Those in the league with knowledge of the situation expect Toronto’s Nick Nurse, Philadelphia’s Doc Rivers and Utah’s Quin Snyder to be candidates should they become available. Former Portland coach Terry Stotts, former Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks, former Lakers coach Mike Brown and Utah assistant Alex Jensen also might be considered. Same for Juwan Howard, who interviewed in 2019, although sources told The Times that his intention is to continue coaching Michigan, where two of his sons play.

The big question is, who can they get?

Those with knowledge of coaching situations around the league say the Lakers’ reputation isn’t good — concerns about meddling, too many voices, suspect contracts and obvious roster problems creating an equation that

Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka looks on before the start of their NBA basketball game against the Miami Heat at the FTX Arena on Jan. 23 in Miami.

has them working from behind.

“Is the Lakers’ job that attractive?” one coaching agent asked, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive subject.

“I’m not so sure it is. But someone will take the job.”

It is, after all, the Lakers, a marquee franchise that is the heartbeat for so much of Southern California. The weather is great and the legacy can be too — the chance to work for the same franchise as Bill Sharman, Pat Riley and Phil Jackson. At the most base level, there are only 30 jobs to be a coach in the NBA, and scarcity can make people compromise.

It’s not impossible for the Lakers to get their guy.

Three years ago, they ultimately chose Vogel — a winning coach, a gifted teacher and a steadying presence.

But if Vogel was a good enough choice for Pelinka and the Lakers, they wouldn’t be in this spot again so quickly.

So, here they go again.

After the Lakers fired Luke Walton, days after Johnson resigned in a shocking, impromptu news conference outside the locker room on the season’s final day, the Lakers were on shaky ground.

James had just finished his first season as a Laker, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2005 while playing alongside the organization’s future -- young players drafted by the Lakers who would be sacrificed later that summer to acquire Anthony Davis.

The day the team officially cut ties with Walton, two names quickly pushed to the front of the organizational wish list — Monty Williams and Tyronn Lue. Howard, then a Miami assistant, also was viewed as a candidate, though not on the same level as the two former NBA coaches. Jason Kidd also scored an early

interview.

Williams had worked with James as an assistant coach on Team USA. Lue proved that he could win a title with James, the two guiding Cleveland to a championship in 2016.

If there were questions about the candidates, there were equally big questions about the team. Johnson’s resignation and subsequent claims of back-stabbing made the Lakers look unstable. League insiders thought James and his agent, Rich Paul, soon could have even greater influence with Johnson gone.

And even if the Lakers were able to trade for Davis, could they make a play for another top star like Kawhi Leonard?

Soon, people with knowledge of the situation said there were grumblings about the front office’s input on staffing decisions and, perhaps, strategy.

Williams surprised the organization by accepting the coaching job with the Phoenix Suns, who weren’t close to being the NBA title favorites that they are today. It allowed the Lakers to focus on Lue, a beloved former Laker with the most experience coaching James.

All signs pointed toward the Lakers hiring Lue, but the negotiations became contentious.

Money and contract length were at issue. And, to a lesser extent, so was staffing.

It was the rare time when reports of the sides “finalizing a deal” didn’t end with a deal.

The Lakers were shorter on years and cash than Lue expected. The team also wanted him to have former head coaches on his staff. The Lakers suggested Vogel, whom Lue was interested in working with. They also pitched Kidd, who had no previous relationship with Lue. First, Lue balked. Then, as discussions haplessly continued into the next day, the Lakers pulled out.

People with knowledge of the situation said

Lue was offered a three-year deal worth $18 million, a contract length commonly used for first-time coaches. A year later, the Clippers would give Lue a five-year deal worth $35 million to replace Doc Rivers.

The Lakers quickly regrouped and cast a wider net for candidates, including Vogel, Kidd and Lionel Hollins, each a former coach. The team hired Vogel three days after the fallout with Lue. Kidd and Hollins ended up on his staff.

Seventeen months later, after a season that included tragedy and a shutdown forced by a pandemic, Vogel celebrated into the early morning hours as an NBA champion.

That title couldn’t protect him from being fired two disappointing seasons later.

Last Monday, Pelinka articulated the opening lines of his job description for the new Lakers coach when he was asked what qualities he wanted. After saying his answer wasn’t intended to be viewed as a shot at Vogel, Pelinka made the case for a more forceful coach.

“In terms of what this team needs right now, we feel like with, obviously, superstars on our team, we want a strong voice that’s able to inspire the players to play at the highest level of competition every night,” Pelinka said. “And I think that’s going to be one of the resounding qualities that we look for in terms of holding everybody from the top player on our team to the 15th man to a degree of accountability. And that’s going to be one of the many characteristics that I think jumps out today.”

“We want to find the right person. I think that’s the most important thing,” Pelinka said.

“I think all things considered, it would be great to have someone in place by the draft. But our process will be thorough and methodical, and we haven’t even begun to put together a list, or discuss who the replacement is.”

The last time the Lakers were in this spot after firing Walton, it took them a month to find his replacement. This time, the expectation is that the Lakers will see who is available as the playoffs unfold, their top options still coaching teams under long-term contracts.

Just like in 2019, there’s roster uncertainty — a host of draft picks already traded away and a trio of superstars that were either injured or struggling to find a winning formula with their co-stars.

There again are concerns about front-office influence in staffing and decision-making.

Following lost revenues from the pandemic, a meager one-year extension for Vogel and a refusal to go deeper into the luxury tax to keep Alex Caruso last offseason in free agency, some people with knowledge of the situation have financial concerns.

It’ll be on Pelinka and other members of Lakers management, including co-owner Jeanie Buss, to ease those concerns.

Asked on Monday if he was worried the fallout of Vogel’s firing would harm the Lakers, Pelinka projected extreme confidence.

“The Lakers franchise is one of the most respected in all of sports across the globe and I think that will remain to be the case,” he said.

“And we’ll put the work behind it to make sure that’s the case. Because again, that’s what our fans expect.”

Now, the Lakers have to find a way to deliver.

Terrell Brown Jr. trying to defy the odds and make the NBA Percy Allen The Seattle Times

PORTLAND, Ore. — Folks sitting in small groups spread throughout the Moda Center stands sit watching in search of the next big star.

Nearly every NBA front office dispatched a cadre of scouting personnel to last week’s Nike Hoop Summit to watch a scrimmage between the top 12 high-school stars in the United States against a patchwork team of local hoops stars.

There’s a buzz in the building surrounding the three Duke signees -Dereck Lively II, Dariq Whitehead and Kyle Filipowski. And much of the pregame hype focused on Amari Bailey, the consensus No. 2 recruit in the nation -- headed to UCLA. On paper this game should be a blowout, and yet the local team came away with a draw while “winning” two of the four 10-minute quarters in large part due to Terrell Brown Jr. This is where the path to the pros begins for the former Seattle Garfield High star who just completed one of the finest seasons in Washington Husky men’s basketball history.

If the 6-foot-3 point guard is going to buck the odds and disprove naysayers and critics, then he has to convince this room of NBA power brokers that his game can be effective at the next level against the best players in the country.

“I’m not even going to say this is where it starts because it feels like I’ve been on this hoops journey my entire life,” said Brown who turns 24 on April 23. “I’ll just say, this is where I’m at now. But I’ll say, this feels no different than anything else I’ve experienced.

“I’ve always been overlooked and counted out for as long as I can

remember. And that makes me work even harder. The most important thing is to show them who I am ... I’m somebody that works hard, plays with passion and plays to win.”

Several months ago, San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray, the former UW Husky and Rainier Beach High standout, gave Brown some advice that he thinks about every day.

“He told me, there are going to be days in this process that are really hard and there are some days that are easy,” Brown said. “But the key is, just keep working. He always tells me, ‘I know you’re going to be fine because you work hard. You don’t let all of the other stuff define you.’

“That’s kind of why I like him so much. All (Murray) wants to do is play basketball. You don’t see too much of the other stuff in his private life because he keeps the main thing the main thing. I really take that from him.

He’s like a big brother to me.”

During an hourlong conversation, Brown rattles off a litany of supporters he credits for helping navigate an unconventional basketball path that includes stops at Western Oregon, Shoreline Community College, Seattle University, the University of Arizona and Washington.

That’s five teams in six years.

“I can’t say that was the plan,” Brown said laughing.

When asked if he had any regrets or would change anything, Brown said: “Not a thing ... because going through what I went through helped me become the player I am.”

Even though Brown was an elite defender and two-time state champion at Garfield, he was overshadowed on a team that included future Pac-12

standouts Jaylen Nowell and Daejon Davis.

“You can even say we overlooked him when he was at Garfield,” UW assistant Will Conroy said. “He was the two-time state defensive player of the year, but people overlooked his basketball IQ and his ability to make big shots.”

Brown landed at Division II Western Oregon, but after a few days he wanted to come home.

“Me and his mom drive him down and drop him off and I say give it a chance,” Brown’s dad Terrell Brown Sr. said. “The next day, he calls me and says, ‘Dad, I’m better than a Division II player. I don’t want to get stuck here.’ I said if you leave there and come home, what are you going to do?

“I didn’t like him quitting, but he said ‘Dad I promise you I’m not quitting basketball, but I’m better than this.’ So he comes home and that’s when I saw a change in him. He started grinding. Going to pickup games and open gyms everywhere. ... That’s where it started. He wouldn’t accept that he’s not good enough. And I told him, prove everybody wrong then.”

The rest of the Brown’s story is straight out of a storybook. He rose to basketball acclaim during a one-year stint at Shoreline Community College.

He walked on at Seattle University, and two years later became one of the program’s all-time scoring leaders in just 57 games.

After leading the WAC with 20.7 points as a junior, Brown transferred to Arizona where he started nine of 26 games while accepting a reduced role. Still, he averaged 7.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists while ranking second in the country with a 3.1

assist-to-turnover ratio.

“When he came here, we told him we’d let him figure it out and wouldn’t stick him in the corner,” Conroy said.

“He worked out with IT (Isaiah Thomas) every morning as Isaiah was putting himself back together. ... Then Terrell went out did some of those same things.”

Brown was nearly everything for a 17-15 Washington team, while leading the Pac-12 in scoring (21.7) and steals (2.2) and garnering all-conference first-team honors.

“The best part was coming back home and playing in front of family, friends and the city,” Brown said. “I had former teachers emailing me and stuff like that. ... We left it all on the court and we just came up short.”

Admittedly, Brown doesn’t like dwelling on the past.

“Not yet because I want to keep moving forward,” he said. “Hopefully, when my career is over I’ll sit back and enjoy it. But I don’t want to toot my own horn too much, because I feel like that’s a level of cockiness to some degree. But I also know what I did was kind of amazing.”

For now, Brown is consumed with basketball.

Recently he was in Portland for the Nike Hoops Summit before flying to Irvine, Calif., where he trains with his sports agency Rep 1 Sports. This past week, Brown hopped three flights to get to the Portsmouth Invitational in Virginia where he had a modest 13 points in the opener and exploded for 23 in his second game.

Still, Brown knows he needs to more than score. The early feedback from NBA scouts is concern about his 28.4% 3-point shooting over the past four

years.

Even Conroy, who is Brown’s biggest advocate, knows the lack of a perimeter game will keep NBA teams at bay.

“Basketball-wise, he’s a modernday Tony Parker,” Conroy said. “They have a lot of similarities. You can’t stop him from getting in the paint. He has all of the solution shots in there. Right hand, left hand, floaters, wrong-foot finishes -- he has all of that stuff.

“He’s great in the midrange. His pullup jump shot is really good. He can shoot free throws. The next part for Terrell is being a consistent, 40 percent three-point shooter. If he gets that, he can have a great future in that league.”

A polling of a handful of scouts at the Nike Hoops Summit scrimmage suggests Brown has a lot of work to do in order to get selected in the June 23 draft. Currently, he’s not included on most mock drafts and is a longshot to snag a coveted invite to the NBA combine.

“Right now, I don’t think Terrell will get drafted,” said one Eastern Conference front office exec. “The lack of the perimeter game is one thing, but he doesn’t have the athleticism that you see most guys in the draft had.

“Now that being said, I think Terrell will play in the NBA. In fact, I’m pretty sure about that. Look not everybody in the league gets drafted.”

When the sentiments were relayed to Brown, he shrugged and smiled.

“All I want is an opportunity,” he said. “I know I’ll work my tail off in the gym every day and watch more film than anyone else. I’m willing to work for this and no matter how long it takes, it’s going to happen.”

Woman runs out of patience with boyfriend’s smoking Dear Abby, I have been with my boyfriend for five years.

We do not live together, nor do we share any children (we have three grown kids from previous marriages). He has been a smoker since he was very young, and when we got together, he said he would like to quit. Well, it still hasn’t happened.

As the child of an addict DEAR ABBY (alcohol) I understand how difficult quitting can be. Luckily, my father quit cold turkey 20 years ago and never relapsed.

Abby, I do not want a future with a smoker. The smell of stale tobacco is unappealing. It’s not exactly a breath freshener, and the health consequences are dire.

Am I within my rights to put my foot down?

I brought up quitting this week in response to him lamenting that he looks aged beyond his years (which is true). He became very defensive and made me seem like a monster for asking about quitting. How do I navigate future conversations?

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Tell your boyfriend you care about him and about his health, but you can no longer tolerate watching him damage it because of his tobacco addiction. If he doesn’t already know that the smell on his breath, body and clothing is offensive, point it out, and also that secondhand smoke is unhealthy for you.

Then tell him he has a choice to make: It’s the smoking or you. The decision is his. There are many effective smoking cessation programs available, and he should discuss them with

Pickles

his physician, who may be delighted to know he is interested.

Dear Abby, I am currently in a relationship that is approaching the seven-year mark. We dated in our 20s and rekindled in our 40s. We live together, but I’m afraid we are growing apart.

Due to health issues, I don’t work; he works second shift.

When there are disagreements, we can usually work it out. My problem is, I think about the discussion later and have more to say or ask. He then tells me we have already talked about it and he’s not discussing it again. He says I “overanalyze everything.” It’s not that. I just have another question or something I left out.

His refusal to talk makes me feel as though things are unresolved. Please help me to understand if I am too demanding and should just leave it alone.

Unanswered In Illinois It isn’t “too demanding” to want to discuss something further. If revisiting the issue would rekindle the disagreement, your partner is far too controlling. If you have a question, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to ask without it leading to conflict. To deny you that opportunity seems disrespectful.

Give it more time after a disagreement and decide if it’s really necessary to revisit the subject.

When you do, avoid reapproaching it in a way that could be perceived as an invitation to another argument.
