State to fund pre-K programs By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Greene County school districts are set to receive a fresh round of funding for universal pre-K programs in the state’s 2022-23 budget. In last year’s state budget, five Greene districts received firsttime universal pre-K funding, and Windham-Ashland-Jewett will receive the funding for the first time, which will allow all of the county’s districts to offer full-day pre-K programs for the first time.

The state budget also includes a $1.3 million increase in Foundation Aid for Greene County schools. State Sen. Michelle Hinchey, who secured the pre-K funding for local districts, touted the benefits that Greene schools will receive as part of the new state spending plan. “When we invest in education, we are propelling our kids toward a lifelong path to success and supporting working families in the process,” Hinchey said in a statement. “That’s the

progress I fought for and delivered this year on behalf of our Greene County schools, which will see a historic increase in Foundation Aid and funding to create 40 new pre-K seats, officially making it possible for every district in Greene to offer this critical early learning program. We’ll continue to expand on this success until every student and every family has access to fullday, four-year-old pre-K.” As part of the state budget, the Catskill Central School District will receive $11,505,902 in

Foundation Aid, a 3% increase over last year. The district will also receive $318,673 for its pre-K programs in the budget, which was signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul on April 9. “The district is very thankful of the support from state Sen. Hinchey with securing the $318,673 for full day Pre-K programming,” Cook wrote in an email Wednesday. “The district was able to provide a full day pre-K program for 36 youngsters. Our full day pre-K See PRE-K A12

Firefighters in Greene County were on the scene of two separate chimney fires on Wednesday morning. The fires occurred at homes in Athens and Cairo. The first fire broke out about 5:25 a.m. at 8503 Route 9W in Athens. Greene County 911 sent West Athens Lime Street Fire Company to the scene. When the first firefighters arrived, they discovered the fire had spread to the structure and requested Athens Fire Department respond to the scene under mutual-aid. Everyone was able to get out of the home safely, said West Athens Fire Chief Tim Farrell. Firefighters went to work locating and extinguishing the fire, which had spread inside the wall surrounding the chimney, Farrell said. Crews cut a hole in the roof and had to cut into the wall to access areas where the fire may still be burning. They also removed part of the chimney, and removed the wood stove from the house, Farrell said. There were no reported injuries.

Felony Lane Gang member to be sentenced Aug. 15 By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

SYRACUSE — A Florida man who was one of nine Felony Lane Gang members arrested in September 2020 for traveling across the country and breaking into parked cars pleaded guilty in Federal Court on Tuesday. The Felony Lane Gang gained infamy by breaking into parked vehicles and stealing debit cards, credit cards, checkbooks and photo identifications, which they later used to commit bank fraud by recruiting women to impersonate the smash-and-grab victims in drive-through bank lanes to cash checks, said U.S. Attorney Carla B. Freedman. The gang was active up and down the Eastern seaboard including Columbia and Greene counties.

Tyrone Parker, 40, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, pleaded guilty in federal court in Syracuse to conspiracy to commit bank fraud and aggravated identity theft, Freedman said. Keyshawn Arnold, 25, of Schenectady, previously pleaded guilty for his role in the conspiracy. The Felony Lane Gang was responsible for multiple break-ins in Columbia and Greene counties in 2019, including vehicles in the parking lots of Planet Fitness in Greenport and Sweat Fitness in Catskill. The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and state police assisted in the federal investigation. In pleading guilty, Parker, whose aliases include “Tyron Parker” and “Thigh,” admitted he was involved in a fraud

scheme known as “Felony Lane Gang” between July 2019 and September 2020, Freedman said. Parker and his co-conspirators traveled across the country breaking into cars, often targeting those parked by women at locations such as health and fitness centers, daycare centers, outdoor recreational parks, and dog parks. The recruited check cashers were almost always suffering from an addiction to controlled substances and were provided payment at least partially in narcotics, Freedman said. Parker admitted the loss amount from the conspiracy attributable to him is between $95,000 and $150,000 over a 15-month period. The nine defendants were See SENTENCED A12

Netflix is throwing out all of its old rules after losing customers for the first time in a decade, saying it will introduce an advertising-supported option and crack down on people sharing passwords. Shares of the streaming leader plunged as much as 39%, erasing years of gains in the biggest intraday drop since 2004. The swoon made Netflix the worst-performing stock of the year on both the benchmark S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes and sent shock waves across the media universe, sinking Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., Roku Inc. and others. Netflix is seeking ways to stop a loss of subscribers and combat investor fears that its best days are over. Co-founder Reed Hastings had said for years that he doesn’t want to offer advertising and had no problems with password sharing. But the company is changing course after losing 200,000 customers in the first quarter, the first time it has shed subscribers since 2011. Netflix also projected it will shrink by another 2 million customers in the current quarter, a huge setback for a company that regularly grew by 25 million subscribers or more a year. Netflix also will curb its spending on films and TV shows in response to the customer losses. “It’s just shocking,” said analyst Michael Nathanson of MoffettNathanson. “Everything they’ve tried to convince me of over the last five years was given up in one quarter. It’s such an about face.” Investors, analysts and Hollywood executives had been bracing for the company to report a sluggish start to the year, but Wall Street still expected Netflix to add 2.5 million customers in the first quarter. The shares were already down more than 40% this year.

Hastings and co-Chief Executive Officer Ted Sarandos had previously dismissed the company’s slowing subscriber sign-ups as a speed bump related to the pandemic, which had accelerated Netflix’s growth in 2020. But the company’s growth hasn’t returned to pre-pandemic levels. Management pointed to four causes, including the prevalence of password sharing and growing competition. The company said there are more than 100 million households that use its service and don’t pay for it, on top of its 221.6 million subscribers. The Los Gatos, Californiabased company is experimenting with ways to sign up those viewers, such as asking people who are sharing someone else’s account to pay. “It allows us to bring in revenue for everyone who is viewing and who gets value from entertainment we’re offering,” Chief Operating Officer Greg Peters said during an interview with analyst Doug Anmuth of JPMorgan Chase. Netflix’s troubles are a warning sign for its peers and competitors. After watching millions of customers abandon pay TV for streaming, U.S. entertainment giants merged and restructured to compete with Netflix. Investors encouraged this

strategic shift, boosting shares of companies like Walt Disney that demonstrated a commitment to streaming. Investors have begun to question whether some of these media companies will sign up enough customers to justify all the money they are spending on fresh programming. Disney fell as much as 5.5%, while Warner Bros. Discovery, the owner of HBO Max, declined as much as 7.3%. Roku, the maker of set-top boxes for streaming, dropped as much as 8.9%. All of these competitors offer advertising-supported services, or are planning to do so in the near future. Analysts and competitors have speculated for years that Netflix would offer advertising, only to be rejected by Hastings. Netflix always said its viewers preferred its service over cable TV because there were no ads. Hastings also didn’t want to compete with Google and Facebook in selling ads online. Yet he has finally relented. “Allowing consumers who would like to have lower price and are ad tolerant makes a lot of sense,” Hastings said Tuesday. Netflix will explore the best way to offer advertising over the next couple of years. Cracking down on password sharing is a risk for a company

that started by giving customers a cheaper, more convenient alternative to cable. By nudging customers to pay -- and inserting advertising -- Netflix begins to resemble what it replaced. But the company needs help after losing customers in three of its four regions in the first quarter, including more than 600,000 in the U.S. and Canada. Netflix blamed most of that on a price increase, and said the decline was expected. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine cost the company another 700,000 customers when it had to pull its service in Russia, resulting in a loss of 300,000 customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Overall, Netflix had forecast subscribers would grow by 2.5 million in the first quarter, roughly in line with Wall Street estimates. For the current period, analysts were predicting gains of 2.43 million. First-quarter revenue grew 9.8% to $7.87 billion, missing analysts’ estimates. Profit, at $3.53 a share, easily topped projections of $2.91. Asia was the lone bright spot. Netflix added more than 1 million customers in the region, buoyed by popular new titles such as the South Korean drama “All of Us Are Dead.” Netflix remains well ahead of most of its competitors outside the U.S., and is the largest streaming service in the world. The company believes it can execute its way out of the current predicament by luring new customers with better programs and finding more ways to charge its existing user base. The company still expects to add customers this year, and will have a stronger slate of new shows in the back half of the year. Whether Wall Street believes that is up for debate. Bloomberg’s Subrat Patnaik contributed to this report.

COVID-19 vaccine among children is a public health priority,” the report said. Booster shots are still not authorized for kids ages 5 to 11, but partners Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE have said a third dose of their vaccine increased antibodies against the omicron strain by 36-fold in this age group. The companies plan to soon file with regulators for authorization of the booster shot.

Bloomberg News (TNS)

Almost 90% of U.S. children hospitalized for COVID-19 during the omicron wave this winter were unvaccinated, according to a government study. Omicron caused a recordbreaking number of pediatric hospitalizations from December to February, and national data on hundreds of kids aged 5 to 11 highlight the importance of vaccinating them, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in the report. “Increasing vaccination coverage among children, particularly among racial and ethnic minority groups disproportionately affected by COVID-19, is critical to preventing COVID19-associated hospitalization and severe outcomes,” the CDC said. Though omicron has generally been considered milder than prior variants, peak intensive care unit admission rates for children were 1.7 times as high during January, when omicron reigned, than when delta peaked in October. The high rates were likely due to omicron’s enhanced spread and the sheer number of overall infections it caused, the authors said. Almost 20% of children hospitalized during the omicron wave wound up in intensive care units. The risk of severe disease was substantially higher for those with diabetes or obesity, and just a third of hospitalized

children had no underlying conditions, the report found. Unlike immune-impaired adults, immunocompromised kids were not found to be at higher risk of severe COVID-19. The finding is consistent with influenza-associated hospitalizations and could be due to a lower threshold for hospital admission in kids with asthma or other medical conditions, the authors said. Vaccine eligibility was expanded to include children aged 5 to 11 in November, just months before the omicron variant caused a massive surge in cases. But data from last month show just about a third of these children have received two doses.

Lawmakers oppose elements of NY climate plan By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — County lawmakers demonstrated their opposition to elements of the state’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act on Monday during the Legislature’s Government Operations Committee meeting by unanimously approving a resolution to submit comments on the state’s climate legislation. The state Legislature passed a law in 2019 to require that total carbon emissions produced by the state, based on 1990 levels, be no more than 60% by 2030 and 15% of the 1990 standard by 2050. To reach those benchmarks, the legislation includes mandates that create an energy rationing system that will put New York communities in competition for clean energy and stipulates that by 2040, all electricity in the state generated today by fossil fuels must be replaced by renewable energy. In the comments the county will submit to the state if the

resolution is passed by the full board, the Legislature contends that while the county supports the state Climate Council’s decision to transition from fossil fuel heating to electric heating, the resolution states the Legislature vigorously objects to the mandate approach that requires all homes to install

electric heating or the mandate that all outdoor equipment be converted to electric energy. With the closure of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant that provided 25% of the energy to downstate New York as recently as 2019, the Legislature argues that upstate power customers will bear the brunt of picking up

the expense of closing the electricity gap. Greene County Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger, RNew Baltimore, said the Legislature believes the state’s climate plan is tilted toward New York City at the expense of the upstate region. “There’s not even a question, that’s exactly what they did,” Linger said Monday after the meeting. “There’s one part of the state that benefits and another part of the state that pays for it.” Greene County Legislator Michael Bulich, R-Catskill, said that as a farmer, that New York businesses will be at a disadvantage to their counterparts from nearby states with lesser energy regulations. “My objection as a business owner is that it’s going to drive businesses out of New York State because of the cost of energy,” Bulich said Tuesday. “The goals that they’re seeking to achieve are just absolutely unattainable with the green energy that they call solar and

wind. It’s not going to happen. It’s unrealistic.” Bulich argues that the climate mandates will spread across the country if they are implemented in New York. “These other states that don’t have these crazy policies, in my opinion, their businesses get a leg up on our businesses with that. If it goes across the country, what they’re doing in New York, other countries around the world are going to get a substantial leg up on the businesses in the United States,” Bulich said. “So it needs to stop here, before it gets to other states.” In its resolution, the legislature also takes issue with the state’s mandate approach to push consumers to purchase an electric vehicle. In the Legislature’s resolution, lawmakers argue that by adopting the climate law, the state “made a grave mistake, the state Legislature prioritized their goal of being recognized as a world leader in fighting climate change over the energy security of the state’s residents.”

OUR VIEW

A secluded treasure If you had to pick one of Greene County’s best-kept secrets, it might be the Cohotate Preserve on the Hudson River in Athens. For those who gravitate toward the outdoors for environmental beauty, scientific research or just plain recreation, visiting the Cohotate Preserve is a surreal experience. With its thick canopy of trees, carpet of flowering plants, wetlands and the purr of the river lapping up on its shores, the Cohotate Preserve is by far one of Greene County’s most enchanting forests. The Greene County Legislature at least is taking steps to protect and enhance this secluded treasure. The county will commit $250,000 to the project, while the Greene

County Soil & Water Conservation District approved a $400,000 contribution to the project from the organization’s special projects account. The preserve’s indoor facilities would be available in winter and summer. The Cohotate Preserve encompasses 52 acres of county-owned land in Athens. Greene County Soil & Water constructed an environmental field station at the site in 1999 at the request of the Legislature. The site hosts Columbia-Greene Community College classes. The college has expressed a desire to expand its use of the preserve to hold additional programming there. The field station and surrounding grounds can accommodate college students doing practical research on

this precious ecosystem or nature walks by elementary and high school students. Rebecca Pinder, an associate professor of biological science at Columbia-Greene Community College, said educators are focused on promoting their environmental studies program, which would receive a boost from expanding access to the preserve. Greene County is ideal for the study of natural resources and research in environmental science. The location of the field station on the river adds a unique touch. The isolated landscape lends the preserve a fascinating lost-world quality. It’s way past the time to bring the Cohotate Preserve into the 21st century.

Texts show even 2 Trump truebelievers finally knew it was all a big lie St. Louis Post-Dispatch (TNS)

It turns out Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans weren’t alone in concluding that Donald Trump’s campaign to overturn the 2020 election was illegitimate and dangerous. Two top Trumpsupporting Republicans said as much in the run-up to Jan. 6, 2021, according to newly revealed texts in possession of the House committee investigating the Capitol insurrection. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and Rep. Chip Roy of Texas both initially supported Trump’s efforts to challenge Joe Biden’s victory, but the texts make clear that both became disillusioned as evidence of fraud failed to materialize and Trump ramped up his baseless conspiracy theories. Roy, as Trumpy a congressman as there was at the time, ultimately warned Trump’s chief of staff that their efforts were “driving a stake in the heart of the federal republic.” These texts should be required reading for those Trump supporters out there who still buy the lies. The texts, obtained by CNN last week, were directed at Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows. They show the progression

of two true believers in Trump’s election fraud lies, and how they gradually became convinced there was in fact no evidence. The texts show Lee and Roy both were active participants early on in Trump’s attempt to overturn the election. Lee specifically encouraged the Trump campaign to work with lawyer Sidney Powell, calling her “a straight shooter,” until her subsequent conspiracy theorizing led him to warn Meadows that Trump should “disassociate himself” from Powell because of “potential defamation liability.” (That was prescient, as it turns out. Powell is currently facing a multibillion-dollar defamation lawsuit from an election technology company she allegedly slandered while spreading lies for Trump.) Roy seemed an even more enthusiastic backer of Trump’s big lie, imploring Meadows shortly after the election: “Dude, we need ammo. We need fraud examples.” Alas, no such examples were forthcoming — for the simple reason that there was no significant fraud in the election. Days later, the texts show, Roy had grown

alarmed at Trump’s increasingly unhinged public comments about the election. “We must urge the President to tone down the rhetoric, and approach the legal challenge firmly, intelligently and effectively,” he wrote, “without resorting to throwing wild desperate haymakers, or whipping his base into a conspiracy frenzy.” By Dec. 31, Roy was convinced it was over. “The President should call everyone off … ,” he wrote to Meadows. “If we substitute the will of states through electors with a vote by Congress every 4 years, we have destroyed the electoral college.” On Jan. 6, after Trump supporters who’d been whipped into the aforementioned conspiracy frenzy attacked the Capitol, Roy and Lee both voted to certify Biden’s victory. It will be up to their constituents, and history, to determine whether that was too little, too late for them to claim, as they both do now, that they stepped up to protect democracy. ©2022 STLtoday.com.

Another activist Trump judge strikes, this time at the mask mandate WASHINGTON — Maybe it’s time to end the mask mandate for airplanes, trains and public transport. Maybe it’s prudent to keep it in place. I’m not sure, but I do know this: That decision should be made by federal policymakers — not by a single district court judge who was ideologically predisposed to strike down the mask rule and who then contorted the law to achieve that goal. Another day, another activist Trump judge legislating from the bench. This latest is Kathryn Kimball Mizelle of Tampa. She was one of the last Trump judges to be confirmed, in an unusual vote by the lame-duck Senate after President Donald Trump lost reelection, and, at 33, his youngest judicial nominee. A member of the Federalist Society and former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas, Mizelle was deemed “not qualified” by the American Bar Association because of “the short time she has actually practiced law and her lack of meaningful trial experience.” Now she’s on the bench for life. On Monday, she ruled that the Biden administration lacked the authority to impose the mask mandate. No doubt, the Biden administration has stretched the law to deal with the pandemic. It turned to the federal workplace safety law to impose a vaccineor-testing mandate for many employers. I thought this was justified under the extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic, but the Supreme Court, splitting 6-to-3, disagreed. Another, even greater leap concerned the use of the same public safety law at issue in the mask mandate case to extend an eviction moratorium after one enacted by Congress expired. Granting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the power to impose an eviction moratorium, the court said, again by a 6-to-3 vote, would be an “unprecedented” and “breathtaking” expansion of authority. “Could the CDC, for example, mandate free grocery delivery to the homes of the sick or vulnerable?” the majority asked. “Require manufacturers to provide free computers to enable people to work from home? Order telecommunications companies to provide free high-speed Internet service to facilitate remote work?” But the mask mandate

RUTH

MARCUS — a standard public health measure — presents an easier question. The federal law gives the CDC power “to make and enforce such regulations as in [its] judgment are necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases.” The next sentence of the law says that “for purposes of carrying out and enforcing such regulations,” the agency “may provide for such inspection, fumigation, disinfection, sanitation . . . and other measures as in [its] judgment may be necessary.” A mask requirement falls comfortably within the language of a rule necessary to prevent the spread of communicable disease. Indeed, even if the second sentence, about inspection and fumigation, is understood to limit the reach of the first, masking could easily be justified as a “sanitation” or another “necessary” measure. “Much like other ‘sanitation’ measures, such as wearing gloves or a gown . . . wearing a mask is intended to reduce the transmission of viral particles,” the Biden administration argued in the case. As conservative law professor Ilya Somin of George Mason University wrote after the ruling, “It seems to me that mandatory masking to prevent the spread of a respiratory virus at least plausibly fits within the meaning of ‘sanitation.’” Not to Mizelle. She appeared determined to get rid of the mask mandate, and so she did — by torturing the words of the statute. “Sanitation,” she said, could have two meanings: one active (to take steps to cleanse something) and one passive (“to preserve the cleanliness of something”). Only the first meaning, Mizelle insisted, makes sense in the context of the statute, and ordering passengers to wear a mask fell outside her understanding of “sanitation.” Seriously? As Somin points out in a rather revolting

hypothetical, this would prohibit the CDC from issuing a rule, if such were necessary, against defecating on the floor of a train or airplane. “That would not qualify as ‘sanitation’ under Judge Mizelle’s approach because it does not clean anything, but merely ‘keep[s] something clean’ (in this case, the floor).” But Mizelle was just getting started. When a statute is ambiguous and an agency’s interpretation is reasonable, judges are supposed to defer to the agency. Here, though she had just spent more than a dozen pages parsing the meaning of “sanitation,” Mizelle declared the law “not ambiguous” and the CDC’s interpretation “not reasonable.” In any event, she said, such deference wouldn’t apply in the case of a “major question” such as the mask mandate, where Congress would have spoken more clearly if it wanted the agency to go that far. If it were allowed to do so without congressional authorization, she wondered, what could be next — mandatory daily multivitamins? And not only that, she added; the administration also erred by not waiting the ordinary 30 days to receive comments on the proposal. Get this reasoning: “The Court accepts the CDC’s policy determination that requiring masks will limit COVID-19 transmission and will thus decrease the serious illnesses and death that COVID-19 occasions,” Mizelle wrote. “But that finding by itself is not sufficient to establish good cause.” So the rule is invalid because, in the midst of the deadly delta variant outbreak, CDC didn’t wait a month for public comment? This is advocacy masquerading as lawgiving. Somin is more sympathetic to Mizelle than I am, but consider his assessment: “At times, Judge Mizelle’s opinion reads as if she is taking a kitchen sink approach to defending her ruling — throwing out every argument she can, good, bad, or indifferent. This strategy makes sense in high school debate, and perhaps for some legal briefs. But it isn’t a good idea for judges ruling on a case, especially an important one.” Ruth Marcus’ email address is ruthmarcus@washpost.com.

Some memories are not so great, or memorable By Abby and Gabby For Columbia-Greene Media

PRATTSVILLE — Easter Season continues and you can enjoy all the blessings that come with this special time of the liturgical calendar. We continue to say thank you to our medical professionals and all the others who continue to watch out for us so that we may continue to enjoy our bounties. You are appreciated. There is something to be said for pushing other’s memories. After putting out there that Paul Mead was the cause of my only spanking in elementary school, got a call from him claiming he couldn’t remember what he did to incur my wrath. He just kept picking on me, hitting my chair or perhaps pulling my hair, so I did hit him. Would have gotten away with it but he cried! Suppose he doesn’t remember that fact either. But the good news is, Paul said he and wife Joan are doing fine, they of the warmer clime. They will try to visit our area in July or August. They have children in the surrounding towns so will have lots of good memories in the making. Ill health continues to hang around and give problems to some on our mountaintop. But Arnold and Diana Jaeger are on the recovery list. Mary

Cline is also feeling so much better. Roxie King has the old fashioned cold but feels it is on the downside. Bobby Gurley is still being plagued by various ailments — got to get out of the city. Joann Bellinger Haskin was out doing spring gardening and fell down an embankment breaking her wrist. Was heartening to have every pew filled at St. Philip Neri for early, 8 a.m. Easter Mass. And added encouragement was the ages were from infants to the elderly — don’t we know that. Roxie and Jim King are in residence in Prattsville for the warm season, and weren’t they surprised by Mother Nature over the Easter weekend. They said Bear Pen was covered in snow and frost, and that condition was visible from the main roads, Route 23 and Route 23A. They were planning on spending Easter Sunday walking the streets of Woodstock, wind and temperature being bearable. It is indeed an experience to wander around Woodstock, but in the summer, for some eyeopening sights. They do have some fun cafes and shops to frequent for the ambiance. Pat Minew and Sandy Benjamin spent a day shopping in Albany. They like the Christmas Tree Shop and Cheese Cake Factory, really enjoyed

their lunch at the Cheese Cake Factory. Pat and Sandy are married to first cousins Schuyler Minew and Benny Benjamin. Those gentlemen can also trace their ancestry back to the Deyos through their great-grandmother Martha Deyo Howard. For the Easter weekend Anita and Al Creazzo played hosts to their sons Vincent and Steven and spouses. Mary and Ron Cline entertained their sons and their families for Easter festivities. Shelly and Elliott Brainard let son Adam and daughter-in-law Kelly do the family’s Easter dinner. Adam and Kelly seem to have a door to their home, and barn, that is never closed. Want to help with the Ukraine Aid fundraiser? There will be a preparation day for the pierogis at 11 a.m. May 10 at St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church, Jewett, Route 23A. Just show up. You will receive your work orders by the experts when you arrive. Very welcoming and appreciative group from St. John. Happy Birthday to Mary Powell at Jim’s on April 26. On April 27 we wish Rev. Elliott Oakes and Dana Hommel Happy Birthday. Please send news to gurleyrv@ gmail.com or or call 518-2993219.

Thomas Cole National Historic Site publishes Thomas Cole’s Journal CATSKILL — The Thomas Cole National Historic Site announced that it has transcribed and published Thomas Cole’s private journal, making this primary source document available to the public for the first time. Cole (1801-1848) titled the journal, Thoughts & Occurrences, in which he wrote from 1834 until his sudden death in 1848. This period encompasses the peak of his artistic career, including the years when he painted his most iconic works: The Oxbow, 1836; The Course of Empire, 1836; and The Voyage of Life, 1842. Thomas Cole was an American artist and early environmentalist, an economic migrant from England, and the founder of this nation’s first major art movement, now known as the Hudson River School of landscape painting. The text for the new publication was transcribed by Peter Fedoryk, a member of the 2019 Class of Cole Fellows at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, in consultation with Dr. Alan Wallach, Ralph H. Wark Professor Emeritus of Art and Art History & Professor of American Studies, The College of William & Mary, the leading Thomas Cole Scholar and member of the site’s National Council. Thoughts & Occurrences— published as a 129-page softcover volume—offers Cole’s unique perspective as an economic immigrant who came to the United States from England at age 17, and who rose to become the most prominent landscape painter of the early

19th century and the inspiration for generations of artists that followed. Cole lived and worked in the significant, but often overlooked, period of social and political upheaval in America between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, when the young country was struggling with putting the constitution into action. Cole opines on emerging industries and technologies such as the railroad and Daguerreotype, exquisitely details hikes with family and friends in the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains, and records his harsh criticism for the Jacksonian government that defined much of his adulthood in the United States. Regarding the politics of the Jacksonian Era, Cole worries: “I have of late felt a presentiment that the Institutions of the United States will ere long undergo a change, that there will be a separation of the States…every newspaper brings accounts of laws violated…It appears to me that the moral principle of the nation is much lower than formerly… May my fears be foolish — a few years will tell.” Regularly exploring the surrounding mountains for inspiration, Cole writes of excursions with Sarah Cole, the artist who was also his sister; Maria Bartow Cole, who married Thomas and whose family owned the property now known as the Thomas Cole National Historic Site; and many other historic figures. He writes of one such trip to the South Peak of the Catskills

in 1836: “Standing on the topmost precipices and looking South East the View is sublime. The vast valley of the Hudson lies like a sea before and beneath you while the base of the mountain on which you stand rises abrupt…and seems like The Prow of a Stupendous vessel ploughing the Great Deep.” The Journal concludes with Cole’s final entry, written on his 47th birthday, just ten days before his sudden death. He wrote a message of optimism: “Last night it snowed, and we are rejoiced to see the black, unsightly landscape covered with the pure mantle. The sun shines, and the heart rejoices in the change.” “Thomas Cole’s own words tell his story through magnificent phrases and emotionally gripping anecdotes, and we are thrilled to bring this important text to the public,” said Betsy Jacks, Executive Director of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site. “Cole’s journal is rife with experiences that shine a new light on our contemporary moment and how we’ve arrived here, as well as revelations of delight” The book is the third installment in an ongoing publication series, an initiative of the Thomas Cole Site to transcribe and publish Thomas Cole’s original writing. The first two publications are Cole’s Essay on American Scenery, which underscores his role as a proto-environmentalist, and Lecture on Art, in which Cole makes the case for public art, the teaching of art, and the industrial arts.

DEC announces $3.375 million in conservation partnership program grants ALBANY — The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced $3.375 million in Conservation Partnership Program grants, the largest amount of funding for this program to date, for 51 notfor-profit land trusts across the state. The announcement, made during New York State’s Earth Week celebration, includes 80 grants funded through New York’s Environmental Protection Fund and will leverage an additional $2.7 million in private and local funding to support projects that protect water quality and farmland, boost public access for outdoor recreation, and conserve open space. The Land Trust Alliance administers the Conservation Partnership Program in coordination with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. “DEC is proud to partner with the Land Trust Alliance for this $3.3 million grant announcement, which supports land trusts across the state managing forests, conserving agricultural lands, restoring coastal and wetland areas, and bolstering essential projects in our fight against climate change,” said Commissioner Basil Seggos. “Thanks to Governor Hochul and legislative leaders, the State’s record-high Environmental Protection Fund is making historic investments in local land trusts and community partners, sustaining their work to protect and preserve New York’s natural areas now and for future generations.” Among the many environmental victories in the enacted 2022-23 State Budget, Governor Kathy Hochul and legislative leaders increased the New York’s Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) to $400 million, the highestever 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 water sources, advances conservation efforts, and provides recreational opportunities for New Yorkers. “The people of New York need and love open spaces

for the many health, recreation, and economic benefits they provide,” said Meme Hanley, the Land Trust Alliance’s New York program manager. “These grants will leverage the strengths of the State’s land trust community to protect treasured local outdoor places and help provide important climate benefits. On behalf of the Land Trust Alliance, I applaud Governor Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Andrea StewartCousins, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, Senator Todd Kaminsky, Assemblyman Steve Englebright, and Commissioner Seggos for their work to ensure New Yorkers enjoy clean water, healthy food, outdoor recreation, and economic opportunity.” The $3.375 million in Conservation Partnership Program grants, and $2.7 million in private and local funding, will increase the resilience of State lands to the changing climate and contribute to climate solutions by storing carbon. Natural climate solutions will have a significant role in addressing risks associated with climate change. Since the Conservation Partnership Program’s inception in 2002, the program has awarded 1,077 grants totaling more than $25 million to 92 land trusts. Cumulatively, the State’s investment has leveraged $26.5 million in additional funding from local and private sources. The grant awards announced today range from $3,750 to $100,000.

Catskill Center’s birding event takes flight in May ARKVILLE — A weekend of expert-led birding walks and talks resumes in person this year, during “Taking Flight 2022: Flock Together,” May 13-15. The event will focus for the first time on building an inclusive birding community. Leaders of the Feminist Bird Club will deliver the keynote address. “At Feminist Bird Club, we believe that the outdoors is for everyone. Taking time to think about how to make events accessible, being mindful that accommodations are as individual as each person who needs them, and listening to people when they tell you what they need will make your events more successful and more enjoyable for everyone,” says Martha Harbison, Feminist Bird Club Vice President. “We’re excited to have these discussions at Taking Flight and demonstrate some of the ways we think about inclusion at Feminist Bird Club.” Harbison will lead a workshop and a walk to identify and help birders appreciate often hard-to-spot female birds. Other highlights of the 2022 schedule include beginning birding, apps and birding, bird banding, and an early morning hike to the top of Hunter Mountain in search of Bicknell’s Thrush and other

New CDC team: A weather service to forecast what’s next in pandemic By Lena H. Sun The Washington Post

A new team of federal health scientists officially embarked Tuesday on a mission to provide what has often been absent from the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic: better, faster information about what is likely to happen next in this public health emergency and in future outbreaks. “We think of ourselves like the National Weather Service, but for infectious diseases,” said Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist and associate director for science at the initiative, run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 100 scientists will analyze technical data and communicate policy options to decision-makers and the public about how the virus is behaving and who is most at risk - in userfriendly terms. “We would love to be able for people to look to us to say, ‘I’m about to commute on the Red Line. . . . Should I bring a mask based on what’s happening with respiratory disease in my community? Should I have my birthday party outside or inside?’ Those kinds of decisions, I think, are where we would like to move toward,” Rivers said. The Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics, which starts with $200 million in funding, was created last summer to improve understanding by the CDC and the government more broadly of the coronavirus — and future outbreaks — in real time. White House officials formally launched the effort Tuesday at a summit hosted by the Office on Science and Technology Policy on strengthening U.S. earlywarning systems for health threats. Jake Sullivan, President Biden’s national security adviser, noted that the creation of the center was enshrined in the administration’s first national security memorandum, issued Jan. 21, 2021. Newly appointed White House coronavirus response coordinator Ashish Jha said public health leaders have scrambled during the pandemic to do the best they can. “But it’s also been really clear, this is no way to run a response to a pandemic,” Jha told panelists at the event. Without a centralized, trusted source for forecasting, “policymaking in that context is nearly impossible,” Jha said. “That, to me, is going to be a major contribution of this center. I feel like we are embarking on a process that will put us in a totally different footing for the rest of this crisis and future ones.” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said the “very small but very mighty” team will analyze every stage of a health threat, from its epidemic potential to a comparison of health interventions. The center will also prioritize identifying vulnerable groups who are often invisible because they are not captured in data. The center comes into existence at an uncertain moment in the pandemic. As the United States plods wearily into the third year of the health crisis, covid-19 cases are rising. But it remains unclear whether new, highly transmissible versions of the omicron variant in New York state and Europe will trigger a new wave of infections. If there is another surge, elected leaders could be wary of reinstituting restrictions such as mask mandates, given the availability of vaccines and therapeutics and a political environment

in which many Americans express ambivalence, or even outright hostility, toward vaccines and public health recommendations. When Walensky tapped outside experts to head the new outfit, the move was widely viewed as an acknowledgment of longstanding and systemic failures regarding surveillance, data collection and preparedness that were put into high relief by the pandemic. There is no national system in the United States for infectious-disease forecasting. During the last major health threats — the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic, the 2014 to 2016 Ebola epidemic, the 2016 Zika outbreak — the CDC had some experts, but the public health agency also enlisted volunteer academic experts. “Academic experts have been acting as volunteer surge capacity, but that’s not sustainable,” Rivers said. Experts, including Rivers and others on the team, have long advocated for an infectious-disease forecasting center. The center will provide support and analyses to decision-makers in the federal government and in states. That includes forecasting how many covid cases might be expected in coming days and weeks by analyzing the number of new cases and hospitalizations, and examining the population groups most affected. Scientists will also look at who is infecting whom, how well vaccines protect against infection and severe illness, and how that depends on the vaccine, variants and the time since vaccination, said Marc Lipsitch, an epidemiologist and the center’s science director. The center will work with other experts in government and the private sector to answer practical questions about how well certain measures - contact tracing and isolation, closing borders, masking, testing travelers - work to reduce transmission. That will “help decision-makers choose policies that are the most effective and the least costly and disruptive,” Lipsitch said in an email. Health officials and experts are eager for information, especially at a time when guidance is often confusing and official case counts and testing data are increasingly less reliable because so many people are testing at home and aren’t required to report the results. Anne Zink, an emergency physician and chief medical officer for Alaska, said the pandemic’s lessons must be applied going forward. “We’re reaching almost a million deaths, huge economic consequences, schools shut down for large periods of time, travel plans and everything interrupted in one way or another,” Zink said. “How can we learn from the challenges of the past couple of years to know what will happen this fall, this winter? Should I plan my wedding? . . . Can I plan

on international travel?” The center’s scientists expect new waves of covid cases as immunity wanes and variants emerge. There is a strong possibility that the pattern for the coronavirus will not behave akin to seasonal flu, which typically arrives during the winter, “but instead, surges come at different and not fully predictable times of year,” Rivers said in an email. Center scientists expect that vaccination for children younger than 5 - which is awaiting Food and Drug Administration authorization - will have a “modest impact” on the pandemic’s trajectory. The center’s scientists have no insights yet into two new omicron subvariants, dubbed BA.2.12 and BA.2.12.1. Rivers is on leave from Johns Hopkins University. Lipsitch is dividing time between the CDC and Harvard University. The center’s other leaders include Rebecca Kahn, senior scientist, also splitting time between Harvard and the CDC; Dylan George, director of operations and a former adviser in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Obama administration; and Alison Kelly, deputy director and a CDC veteran. The center will be based in D.C. and will eventually have about 100 staff members, including some at CDC’s Atlanta headquarters. It will report to Walensky. Even before its official launch, the team pivoted quickly when news broke about omicron at Thanksgiving. U.S. officials knew that the variant would spread rapidly. The key question, Lipsitch said, was, “How bad are these cases going to be? That’s where we didn’t have American data at all.” Working with Kaiser Permanente of Southern California and researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, the team produced the first U.S. estimates showing that illness from omicron was not as severe as what the delta variant caused. Walensky presented results to the White House on Jan. 11. The team also recognized early that omicron would cause a surge in the United States, and alerted federal and state health officials in December about the forthcoming cases in January, according to George. Despite the initial funding, the center’s work needs to be sustained for the long term, and must be matched at state and public health departments by a skilled workforce that understands methods for modeling diseases. “I do worry that we don’t have enough resources invested in ensuring the necessary level of community testing, surveillance and access to other data sources to get the most out of this new high-quality modeling center,” said Jeffrey Duchin, health officer for Seattle and King County in Washington

state. Models, he said, are only as good as the quality of the data informing them. One of the center’s priorities is communication. Pandemic guidance and information about vaccine effectiveness have been confusing. It’s largely up to individuals now to assess risk and to make sense of a blizzard of data. “We shouldn’t be asking people to be like, hey, in order for you to be safe, we’d like you to have a PhD in epidemiology or a medical degree. And we’d also like for you to have a master’s degree in biostatistics and, maybe, a bachelor’s degree in economics,” said Maria Sundaram, a scientist at the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute, part of the Marshfield Clinic, a Wisconsin health system. One-third of the new CDC center’s staff will be devoted to communication. Its website will grow to include information “to help people understand and make decisions about what infectious diseases are in their community,” Rivers said. The center will also designate experts whose job will be to reach vulnerable communities that don’t have easy access to the Internet. To understand the mission of the new CDC center, Rivers points to the Weather Service, which used to put out bulletins that referred to falling barometric pressure. The problem was, people did not know how to interpret that information. After conducting research to better understand how consumers assess risk, the Weather Service adjusted bulletins to give specific advice. “They say things like ‘wind may uproot small trees and flying debris may crack windows,’” Rivers said.

the senior class trip A brief history of the Mountain RememberingASHLAND SPEAKS Top Historical Society By Lula Anderson

For Columbia-Greene Media

By Dede Terns-Thorpe For Columbia-Greene Media

Today’s Mountain Top Tidbit history is about the LoxHurst property that houses the Mountain Top Historical Society. It’s had a long, interesting history before it was purchased when Justine Hommel was at the helm of the MTHS. No, this hotel was in that location but went by a new name, The La Cascade, meaning “A Waterfall.” Its new owners were Paul and Lucienne Dumas. They were known for their distinctive cooking style and had previously operated a restaurant in Paris, France. The going rate then, including your meals, was about $60 per person per week (about $590 today). Their daughter, Fran Dumas Hoose, lives in Haines Falls, while her son, Randy, and daughter, Cindy, remain in the area. (Its fun phone number, 456, was upgraded to 589-6430 in about 1963). Very little Information seemed to be published when owned by the Dumas family, although they owned it for more than 10 years. Numerous articles were found after the Jamet brothers purchased it from the Dumas family. They went back into the early 1960s. In 1966, a New York Times writer, Craig Claiborne, wrote: “There is a twisting, turning, rock-rimmed road that leads to the La Cascade, a hotel and restaurant that has for a slogan, “A Touch of France in the Catskills.” Claiborne said the restaurant was worth a detour to the mountains. He said the kitchen produced its cuisine, served family-style. Claiborne

described it as hors d’oeuvre, chicken crepes, or hot quiche Lorraine, soup, salad, an exquisite dinner, and ended with coffee and dessert. Walk-ins paid the cost of $4.50 for dinner and an extra $4.50 for a good bottle of wine. ($4.50 is equal today to $40.25). Claiborne said the interior was cordial. The main room had an upright piano in the corner and a deer-skin rug on the wall. The bar walls had two mounted deer heads overhead. The cost was $10 to $16, depending on whether you had a private bath and the size of the room accommodations. ($10 for room and board for a day equals about $92 today.) An interesting ski contest was held in 1963, just three or four years after Hunter Mt. Ski Bowl opened. The contest required a letter (of 50 words or less) to be sent to the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper, telling them why you want to learn to ski.

It gave five days of free room and board at the La Cascade, five days of free skiing, and two hours of ski lessons daily: a once-in-a-lifetime family vacation. The La Cascade did well for years until Louis Jamet sold it sometime before 1978. (Thanks to MTHS board member, Debbie Fromer, for providing the following information). New owners operated it as a dude ranch until it ws lost in foreclosure. Jamet once again owned it for a few years before selling it to a partnership. It ran successfully as the Hunter Mountain Dude Ranch, managed for years by the well-liked Anna and Red Flechter. It went from C. A. Martin’s Lox-Hurst, circa 1884, to the La Cascade, about 1945, and later the Hunter Mt. Dude Ranch. The property continues its interesting history as the Mountain Top Historical Society

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. I went to Judy’s with my sons to enjoy the day with her, Rosie and Jay. When I left my house, it started to snow, by the time I got to Jewett you couldn’t see the road ahead of you. The snow, sleet and hail was so heavy! When we got in the house, the sun came out again and all was well. Started the day with regular church service at 9 a.m., no one but the Albert family and us showed up. No breakfast this year. Jewett Presbyterian Church had their annual pancake breakfast with Billy Mead at the grill. He loves making pancakes! Thursday and Friday services were well attended, as we combined with Windham both in Ashland and in Windham. I think that we will have to do more traveling, some weeks Windham here and some weeks we can go to Windham. Something to think about.

AS I REMEMBER IT It’s spring break time and families are traveling again. Credit cards are maxxed out so the kids can enjoy a trip to Disney or go on a cruise. College students, and even some high school students travel to

Florida, one of the islands, or even Mexico to party. What happened to ‘The Senior Trip?” In 1948, we had saved up our money for years to be able to take a school trip to Washington, D.C. Parents did not take their children on trips as most in this area were farmers, or small businessmen who didn’t have the weeks and months of vacations that are offered today. Family trips were virtually unheard of, as there was never spare money for vacations. Our classmates, with 2 chaperones, went to Catskill, where we got on a train to D.C. While there, we toured our nation’s Capital, going through the Smithsonian museum complex to learn about our nation’s past. We went to the White House and the Capitol building, seeing where laws were made, and sometimes meeting a member of Congress. I remember Millie Mead sitting in our hotel room looking out the window at the sailors walking by. We all ran over and waved and shouted greetings to them. We had never seen so many strangers before. Pat Zink graduated from HTC, and she shares the same memories, except they went to Hudson to catch the train. Soon, the classes hired a bus to take them directly to Washington, until 1968, when the nation was in such an upheaval that there were no longer trips to any city in the nation. That was the first year that the graduating class went to Bermuda. For a lot of the students, this was not only the first time that they went out of the USA, but the last. It wasn’t educational, but it was a class trip. Now, there are trips to Europe, England, and all over. Parents pay big bucks to let their kids go on these trips, kids aren’t expected to pay their own way. Theme parks are the place to go if you stay in this country. I have met several people who have never been to Washington, D.C. They have no idea that there are parks, statues and museums that are open to the public that depict our history. What I wouldn’t give to go back to the simpler times when we had one last bash with our classmates before we became adults to face the challenges of the future.

State Parks, DEC and PTNY Hannaford Supermarkets encourage New Yorkers to commits to 100 percent sign up for the 11th annual ‘I renewable energy by 2024 Love My Park’ Day 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 Lands all year by practicing

Leave No Trace principles and by recreating safely, sustainably, and hiking in suitable conditions based on weather and experience level.

Anderson Center for Autism names Chief Human Resources Officer STAATSBURG — Anderson Center for Autism announced that it has promoted its Director of Human Resources, Anne Jordan, to the role of Chief Human Resources Officer. Jordan, a resident of Staatsburg, New York, has been leading the Human Resources department for the past two years — developing, coordinating and overseeing all activities, including employee relations, professional development initiatives, recruitment efforts, hiring, benefits packages, and Anderson’s talent strategy for its roster of nearly 900 employees. The promotion to Chief Human Resources Officer also lands Jordan a role as part of Anderson Center for Autism’s Executive Leadership Team. Jordan, who obtained a Master of Library Science from Southern Connecticut State University, is a graduate of Empire State College (Bachelor of Science, Business Management and Economics, 2012; Advanced Certificate in Human Resource Management, 2015). A Certified Professional with Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM), the newest member of Anderson’s leadership team also holds certification as a public librarian with the New York State Education Department. Anne also completed an Executive Leadership Program sponsored by the Dutchess County Chamber Foundation. Said Patrick Paul, CEO/Executive Director of Anderson Center for Autism: “Over the past two years, we have seen certain people lead with vision

SCARBOROUGH, Maine — As part of its sustainability strategy and in recognition of Earth Month, Hannaford Supermarkets announced its plan to be fully powered by renewable energy by 2024—a commitment that makes the retailer the first large-scale supermarket business to match its bold commitment with such an aggressive timetable. “Doing what’s right for our business includes doing what’s right for our associates, community, and our planet. Powering Hannaford with 100-percent renewable energy sources will make an immediate, positive impact on greenhouse gas emissions,” said Mike Vail, President of Hannaford Supermarkets. “This is an important leap forward in our sustainability journey—and one that we hope sparks others to join. Prioritizing the health of our communities and the planet is a win for us all.” Supermarkets are energy intensive due to simultaneous needs of heating and cooling. To reduce energy consumption and make the best use of the energy being used, Hannaford has implemented energy efficiency projects like LED lights, night shades, doors on cases and state-of-the-art refrigeration systems—and has rooftop solar on 10 of its stores. “Hannaford is light years ahead of the rest of the industry when it comes to their sustainability efforts—and they’ve been doing so for well over a decade,” said Peter Cooke, cofounder of the Ratio Institute, an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating measurable sustainability and viability in food retail. Cooke has worked with more than 1,000 grocery stores and 15 grocery chains as part of his Grocery Stewardship work. “Hannaford associates continue to rally behind making the company more sustainable and that is an advantage to their current and future success in making the planet healthier and greener.” Currently, Hannaford operates at 30-percent renewable energy by partnering with over 30 community solar

projects across Maine, Massachusetts, and New York. Since the beginning of the decade, Hannaford has worked to reduce its energy consumption and converted 86.4MW of its remaining electricity usage to solar— enough electricity to power 16,000 typical homes for a year. Continuing to operate some of the most energy efficient stores in the northeast, Hannaford will couple their efforts of upgrades and conversions with integrating community and large-scale solar projects in Maine and New York to propel stores to the 100-percent-green milestone by 2024. “Hannaford has always been serious about sustainability—and over time, it’s become an integral business function. But there is a sense of urgency as we witness the planet in the midst of a climate crisis,” said George Parmenter who leads sustainability efforts for Hannaford. “Hannaford wants to lead where we can make the most impact—and renewable energy is just another step in our journey.” According to a recent report by the United Nations on climate change, “harmful carbon emissions have never been higher in human history …[and] scientists are urging ‘now or never’ to limit global warming…”. Report findings indicate that achieving net zero carbon dioxide emissions globally by the early 2050’s is the way to stabilize global temperatures and carbon dioxide emissions. Hannaford, an Ahold Delhaize USA brand, has committed to be a net zero carbon business by 2040. A first step in that journey is to move to 100-perscent renewable energy. “Tackling climate change demands bold leadership in the private sector and DEC appreciates Hannaford’s outstanding efforts to promote sustainability with its renewable energy expansion,” said New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos. “The more that public and private entities implement measures like this, the faster we will reduce our carbon footprint and

improve the health and resiliency of communities across the State.” Already an early and proven leader in sustainability efforts, Hannaford’s prior milestone successes include: Becoming the first grocery retailer in the nation to introduce reusable bags to its customers in the mid-1980s; Earning notable distinction with the introduction of North America’s first LEED Platinum supermarket in Augusta, Maine, for eco-friendly, energy-saving features that utilized approximately half the energy requirements of grocery stores of similar size and character 2009; Installing a first-in-thenation refrigeration system using natural refrigerant that is better for the environment and earning Hannaford a “Best of the Best” award from the US EPA Green Chill Partnership in 2013; Introducing and expanding electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to parking areas for a total of 163 plugs at 31 stores (and growing) throughout the Northeast; And most recently, becoming the first large-scale grocery retailer in its marketplace to achieve zero food waste-to-landfill by donating or diverting all food at risk of going to waste in 2021. “Albany County has been a leader on environmental protection and addressing climate change, and I remain committed to making this the greenest county in New York State,” said Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy. “We are doing that by cutting down on waste and investing in electric vehicle infrastructure and renewable energy, including wind, solar and hydrogen fuel. But in order to accomplish these goals, we also need buy in from the private sector, and today’s announcement further shows that we have a steadfast partner in Hannaford.” To learn more about Hannaford’s commitment to 100-percent renewable energy by 2024 and its in-store efficiency efforts, view its video: https://bcove.video/3rizGof Learn more about Hannaford’s sustainability efforts at Hannaford.com/sustainability.

signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul last September. The legislation effectively bans the sale of new internal combustion engine cars, off-road vehicles, light-duty trucks and equipment by 2035 and makes electric and “green” vehicles an essential mandate. Accepting the award along with Tessier and LaCroix, were Career and Technical School Principals Shelette Pleat and Matt Ward and Automotive Youth Educational System (AYES) students Alex Ramsaroop of Schenectady and Matt DeCelle of Cohoes. The Adult Education HSE

program collaboration with Albany County Probation supports individuals on probation as they earn their High School Equivalency Diplomas. The program is voluntary and students enrolled are eager to learn during the evening classes and are dedicated to completing their goal, said Maria Huntington, supervisor of Adult Education and Programming at Capital Region BOCES. Accepting the award with Huntington was Kristin McCabe, probation supervisor at the Albany County Probation Department.

Friends and lovers tangle with sex and identity By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

There is a brilliant moment in “Paris, 13th District,” when Emilie (Lucie Zhang) is sitting around in an apartment owned by her grandmother, who has moved to a nursing home. The doorbell rings. Emilie opens the door. Standing there is Camille (Makita Samba), a teacher answering an ad for a roommate. A few sketchy introductions and some small talk later, Emilie and Camille are in bed, by turns caressing and clawing at each other. We soon understand why. In this movie, directed by Jacques Audiard and loosely based on four short stories by the American writer-illustrator Adrian Tomine, there is a surfeit of lovemaking but not much in the way of love. Emilie, who works as a telephone sales rep, is impulsive and moody. Camille is cautious and more disciplined. What they share is a sense of entitlement and self-indulgent attitudes. They should be an ideal match but something is wrong. The third part of this triumvirate is Nora (Noemie Merlant), a 30-ish law student who seems confident in the direction of

her life, yet the rhythm of her existence is out of whack. Giving up law for real estate, Nora meets Camille, who’s taking a sabbatical to work on his master’s degree and earning some money managing the storefront office where Nora works. They become an item and the sexual conflicts spill over. There is, however, a wild card in the deck. Nora develops a Skype relationship with a digital sex worker named Amber Sweet (played by indie rock star Jehnny Beth). Nora is infatuated with Amber’s look and sexual

freedom, to the point of donning a platinum blonde wig and fishnet stockings before prowling the clubs. Their interest in each other expands from brief, casual conversations to sexual counseling toward something resembling mutual desire. Zhang, who has a gift for disconcerting directness, gives a winning, empathetic performance that sparks this engrossing movie that is both a comingof-adult-age and coming-out story. Samba, who is from West Africa, makes an excellent foil for Zhang. They spend the bulk

of the movie circling and stalking each other in a grip of erotic attraction and mutual, unresolved neediness. Like Zhang, Samba creates a character we don’t always admire, but he’s honest in presenting his virtues and flaws. Audiard is a filmmaker of considerable intelligence. He has created an erotic drama worthy of Jean-Luc Godard’s finest early period works: Atmospheric, beautifully crafted and blending coldhearted reality with stylish carnality. Audiard prefers the visual style of the glossy, sharply contrasted black-and-white of Godard’s 1960s films, even the sci-fi noir “Alphaville.” “Paris, 13th District” is a compelling piece of work. Its sex scenes have a docudrama-style intensity and it takes an unusual perspective on its subject and characters. Audiard’s attempt to mix social comment and eroticism is vague and falls short of its target, but overall the movie’s attention to the details of sexual identity is admirable and a superior cast convincingly portrays the transition from immaturity to the first steps toward an enriched adulthood.

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 ever-expanding 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.

first-time state funding for its pre-K program, while the Greenville Central School District will receive $282,218. “We’ve run a universal pre-K for a number of years and with the state and federal money that has come in we’ve opened up another one at Ellis Elementary School,” Greenville Central School District Superintendent Michael Bennett said Wednesday. “The importance is just making sure that we’re giving opportunities to students in our community to be able to get access to the academics and the curriculum. It allows them to start to get ready for the next level of school as they

enter into kindergarten. The expectations on what we’re able to do keeps growing, and I think the earlier we can start to get kids into our programs and into our schools really helps them developmentally prepare for kindergarten.” The Greenville district used state funds to open a pre-K program at the United Methodist Church in Greenville, with federal money funding the program at Ellis Elementary. “I believe that between our two locations that we’re able to offer it to all students who are interested in enrolling,” Bennett noted. The Cairo-Durham Central

School District will receive $257,344 in pre-K funding while Hunter-Tannersville will get $45,900 for its program in the budget. The Coxsackie-Athens School District received a $120,000 grant from the state last year, which allowed Coxsackie-Athens to open an initial pre-K program with 18 available slots. At the time, the district had 23 interested students, resulting in a lottery system to choose the preK participants. A $360,000 state grant subsequently allowed the district to open up a second class. Both classes opened in January for the district’s first pre-K program.

Assisting at the scene were Catskill Ambulance, Greene County Paramedics, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, and Greene County Fire Coordinator’s Office. All firefighters were back in service by 8:30 a.m. The second fire was reported just before 12:00 noon. Greene County 911 sent Cairo Fire Company to 185 Agnes Drive, after receiving

reports of a possible chimney fire at that location. The first firefighters who arrived on the scene confirmed there was a working fire in the chimney. Round Top Fire Company was placed on stand-by, but was not needed. Crews extinguished the fire, and then began checking the home to make sure it had not spread. The town Code Enforcement officer was requested to

the scene. According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, there are more than 20,000 residential fires that start as chimney fires each year. They recommend that homeowners have their chimney cleaned every fall, before the first usage of the wood stove, and prevent the buildup of creosote in the chimney by using seasoned wood.

years, a fine of up to $1 million and a supervised release term of up to 5 years. Parker is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 15 by Senior U.S. District Judge Norman A. Mordue. Parker and Arnold were among nine men that were charged in a 13-count indictment for their roles in the scheme. The remaining co-defendants are: n Tyrone Parker, Jr. a/k/a “Ty,” a/k/a “Cheese,” a/k/a “Little Thigh,” 22, of Fort

Lauderdale, n Joshua Mallory, a/k/a “P,” a/k/a “Pudge,” 37, of Fort Lauderdale, n Randall Taylor, a/k/a “Gucci,” a/k/a “Guwop,” 35, of Fort Lauderdale, n Cedric Lynch, a/k/a “City,” a/k/a “C,” 37, of Orlando, Florida, n Terrell Mcdonald, a/k/a “Ruger,” a/k/a “Moon,” 32, of Troy, n Robert Natson, a/k/a “Big Rob,” 36, of Fort Lauderdale, n Gary Grier, a/k/a “G,” 36, of Fort Lauderdale.

Each defendant is charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud and aggravated identity theft. The charges in the indictment are accusations and the defendants whose cases remain pending are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty, Freedman said. A defendant’s sentence is imposed by a judge based on the particular statute the defendant is charged with violating, the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other factors, Freedman said.

With the additional $589,248 in funding the district has received for the 2022-2023 school year, Coxsackie-Athens will now expand to a trio of 18-student classes in time for the fall semester in September. “We now have 31 kids between the two classes and it’s going great,” Coxsackie-Athens School District Board of Education President Michael Donahue said Wednesday. “The program is going great and we just had a site visit from the state and they were really impressed with the program,” Donahue said. “The kids seem to understand their routines already and

they really seem comfortable there. So we have these two classes and we’re going to be able to open a third class with the Circle of Friends in Ravena.” The third class will be dedicated to students with special needs so they can attend pre-K in the district. All three programs will be housed in Edward J. Arthur Elementary School in Athens. “We’re really pleased about it and I think we’re going to make a difference in a lot of lives this way,” Donahue said. “There’s a lot of community interest and we’ll expand in September.”

Germany to help Ukraine with artillery ammunition, training Michael Nienaber Bloomberg

Germany will provide Ukraine with ammunition and training for heavy artillery as Chancellor Olaf Scholz comes under pressure to give more support to the effort to fend off Russian forces. The training and ammunition are for the PzH 2000, a self-propelled, rapid-fire artillery system, which the Netherlands is sending to Ukraine, according to a senior government official. The training could be provided in Poland or Germany, but not in Ukraine because of ongoing attacks from Russia, said the official, who asked not to be identified because talks between NATO allies and Ukraine are confidential. Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who has led calls for heavy

weaponry for Ukraine, confirmed Wednesday during a trip to Riga that Germany will help with artillery training and maintenance, but declined to provide further details. A government spokesman declined to comment at a regular news conference when asked about the Bloomberg report. Chancellor Olaf Scholz has come under intense pressure, including from members of his own ruling coalition, to increase military support to Ukraine by sending heavy weapons such as tanks. He told reporters after a video call with Group of Seven and other NATO allies on Tuesday that Germany has enlisted the country’s defense contractors to help boost deliveries of weapons to Ukraine after mostly exhausting available stocks from its own armed

complex systems that can have a longterm impact.” These would include “systems that Ukraine urgently needs, especially in the east to protect against Russian artillery fire,” she said in Riga after talks with her Latvian counterpart. She pushed back against suggestions that Germany has been slow to meet Ukraine’s weapons demands. “Germany delivered stinger antitank systems and a great deal more without ever talking extensively about it in public so that these deliveries could happen quickly and securely,” she said. Finance Minister Christian Lindner told Bloomberg TV that Germany was “open” to delivering further weapons but only if it’s done jointly with its allies, its ability to defend NATO territory

isn’t affected and Germany doesn’t become directly involved in the conflict with Russia. The senior government official said that instead of offering heavy equipment directly, Germany will provide tanks and armored vehicles to Eastern European countries that are willing to send Soviet-style equipment to Ukraine, which soldiers there are already familiar with. It’s still under negotiation which NATO allies in Eastern Europe will supply Ukraine, the official said. Baerbock said the government has approved plans to supply armored vehicles to Ukraine but has nothing in stock to send straight away. She confirmed that Germany will support allies that send older weapons by replacing that equipment.

Kyrie Irving (11) of the Brooklyn Nets dribbles downcourt against Jaylen Brown (7) of the Boston Celtics during the first quarter of Round 1 Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs at TD Garden on Sunday in Boston.

Is it fair for Kyrie Irving to be fined $50K by the NBA? Stefan Bondy New York Daily News

NEW YORK — When it comes to Kyrie Irving and Boston fans, there’s a whole lotta gray area. That’s not a particularly strong way to start a column or hook you into an opinion, but, as with most things involving Kyrie, abstruseness rules the conversation. Here was my initial reaction to Irving flipping birds and cussing: Kyrie Irving is right. He should be allowed to extend his middle finger. He shouldn’t be lampooned and fined a maximum $50,000 for the behindyour-head double-bird disguised as a headscratch, a maneuver we learned in middle school as a stealth response to those whispers from behind. It’s unfair to expect a human being, no matter their level of compensation, to endure taunts and vulgarities without a response. If the fans can spew whatever they desire, they should anticipate equal verbal or gestured reciprocation, without punishment from the NBA. It’s the only major sports league in this country where fans are so close they can heckle at the volume of a casual

conversation. And we know those Boston fans are a nasty and vindictive bunch. They even managed a “Kyrie Sucks” chant at a Red Sox game Monday. “It’s the energy they have for me, and I’m going to have the same energy for them,” Irving said. “It’s not every fan, I don’t want to attack every fan, every Boston fan. When people start yelling p---and b---- and f--- you... there’s only so much you can take as a competitor. “We’re the ones expected to be docile, and be humble, and take the humble approach. Nah, f--- that, it’s the playoffs. This is what it is. I know what to expect in here, and that’s the same energy I’m giving back to them.” Fair. But then, point No. 2: Irving lost credibility on this issue after a video emerged from the TD Garden tunnel, where Irving was retreating to the locker room immediately after Sunday’s devastating Game 1 defeat. A fan shouted, “Kyrie, you suck.” The point guard responded, “Suck my d---, b----.” That’s not giving back the “same energy.” That’s See IRVING B4

COLLEGE SOFTBALL:

Former ICC standouts excelling at the next level PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED

Above, former Ichabod Crane standout Isabella Milazzo of the College of Saint Rose was named Yankee Trails Golden Knight of the Week. Milazzo was stellar in her two starts in the circle this past week for the Golden Knights. She totaled 16 strikeouts while allowing just one earned run and a mere five hits across 14.0 innings of work. She led Saint Rose to a 1-0 victory over Le Moyne on Tuesday behind a seven-strikeout effort, followed by a dominating win over American International on Friday in which she matched a career-high with nine punch outs. Right, Milazzo’s former teammate at ICC, Mackenzie Wendelken, has earned North Atlantic Conference Softball Rookie of the Week honors. Wendelken finished this past week week with two hits, including two doubles and three RBI. She also walked twice to finish the week with a .333 batting average and a .667 slugging percentage. In a key play, she recorded the go-ahead RBI double in what would be a victory against Plymouth State University.

The Yankees face the usual lofty expectations - and the same old questions Chelsea Janes The Washington Post

In many of the usual ways, the New York Yankees are the epitome of a known commodity. The lofty expectations that surround them each year are as constant as the pinstripes themselves. Their chief baseball decision-maker, Brian Cashman, has been making those decisions for longer than their top prospect has been alive. The names at the top of their rotation and in the middle of their order are as recognizable as they are decorated. And their manager, former

ahead of this, his fifth season. After a disappointing loss

to the hated Boston Red Sox in last year’s American League wild-card game, the Yankees made offseason moves that were more conservative than transformative. They brought back first baseman Anthony Rizzo. They acquired a steady shortstop in Isiah Kiner-Falefa to allow Gleyber Torres to play most of his innings in the comfort of second base. Shipping out catcher Gary Sánchez and infielder Gio Urshela, they acquired firebrand Josh Donaldson to man third, even though moving Torres to second had See YANKEES B4

NASCAR should do another dirt race, but not at Bristol Alex Andrejev The Charlotte Observer

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Drivers were peppered with the question all weekend as NASCAR attempted its grand Bristol dirt experiment for the second straight year, this time at night on Easter, long considered a not-to-be-raced-on holiday. Do they want to run this thing again? The responses were mixed, but before Sunday, if the sentiment of top drivers could be combined and distilled into a single action when asked about Bristol dirt, it would look like an eye roll. Kyle Busch told reporters before Martinsville that NASCAR should “cut the cord” on the race. “As Richard Petty said, dirt takes our sport backward,” Busch said. After sliding into his first win of the season and 60th of his Cup career, matching Petty’s record of 18 consecutive seasons with a victory, Busch wasn’t as critical of the event in his postrace comments. He still pointed out some of the difficulties of fighting the heavy stock cars through every lap. “If it’s a good show, it’s a good show,” Busch settled on. “I think Bristol is fine with or without (dirt).” I tend to disagree with Busch’s comments. I like watching Cup drivers tackle the challenge of dirt on a slippery, sliding track in the Next

Gen car that’s proving to be extremely versatile. I don’t think it takes the sport backward.

The final stage and race finish were exciting to watch as Tyler Reddick and Chase Briscoe

battled approaching the checkered flag, only to crash as Briscoe slid under Reddick and spun them both out. The drama was dispelled when the two had a calm conversation on pit road after the race as Briscoe interrupted Reddick’s live interview on Fox to apologize. They left things with a handshake, but the lack of punches didn’t diminish the conversations created. Fans in my hotel lobby near the track talked excitedly about it the next day. “Did you see the last lap?” “That was wild!” Briscoe said he “had a blast” racing on Bristol dirt and that the track was “way, way better” from last year to this year, or from start to finish. Both applied. “The banking, everything, was awesome,” Briscoe said. “I thought there at the end you couldn’t have put on a better race from a dirt track standpoint in these cars. “So hopefully that sells more tickets for next year and gives it an opportunity to come back, because if we keep doing this at night, I think the opportunity to put on a really good race is there.” Kyle Larson, America’s dirt racing poster driver, was of the opposite opinion prior to Sunday. “I think everybody assumes my opinion See NASCAR B4

Mets’ Scherzer takes no-hitter into sixth in stellar home debut Deesha Thosar New York Daily News

NEW YORK — One strikeout, followed by another whiff, and then another. Suddenly, nine consecutive batters retired, including 17 of the last 18. This was getting real; Max Scherzer had the look. In his first home start as a Met, Scherzer carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning of the Mets’ 3-1 win over the Giants in Game 2 of a Tuesday doubleheader. Of the 18 batters he’d faced up until that point, only one had reached base, on a walk. Mets fans, filling up Citi Field on a cold and windy night, were living on every pitch. Hey, he did it as a National against the Mets back in 2015 at Citi Field. What was stopping him from doing it again, this time as a Met, seven years later? Then Scherzer gave up a two-out walk, and another walk. Ultimately, Giants designated hitter Darin Ruf ended Scherzer’s no-hit bid in the sixth with an RBI single to left field. Scherzer finished the sixth at 94 pitches, and he looked gassed after those back-to-back walks, so it was somewhat surprising when he came back out for the seventh. But this is Scherzer -- Mad Max -- we’re talking about. He continued pacing in the dugout before jogging back out to the mound for one more frame. Scherzer’s seventh and final inning featured an underlying layer of vengeance. He needed just eight pitches to retire the side, including his 10th strikeout of the night. The right-hander, donning a blue No. 21 Mets jersey, strutted off the mound following his 102nd pitch and high-fived his teammates in the dugout. Now, his Citi Field debut as a Met was really over. Scherzer is 3-0 to begin his Mets tenure. The 37-year-old veteran righty has not suffered a loss in any of his last 22 starts. And the Mets rotation, following the doubleheader sweep of San Fran, has a 1.57 ERA across the first 12 games of the season, representing the

best ERA in MLB. The intimidating Mets rotation has been aided by the team’s new-look lineup, a unit that seems to find ways to claw back or get ahead early. The Mets offense knocked elite right-hander Logan Webb out of his start as early as the fourth inning. The Giants ace came to Citi Field with a 1.29 ERA over his first two starts and 14 innings, so Webb naturally looked befuddled when Giants manager Gabe Kapler trotted out of the dugout to pull him after just 3 2/3 innings. But Webb allowed three runs on six hits, and walked three, against a determined Mets lineup that did all of its Game 2 damage on two-out hits. In the opener, Francisco Lindor’s RBI single in the 10th inning capped a comeback

and a 5-4 victory for the Mets. Starling Marte worked a walk before Lindor – whose RBI double in the fifth capped a three-run rally and tied the game – singled cleanly to center for his fourth career walk-off hit and first with the Mets. Adam Ottavino (1-0) stranded a pair of runners in the top of the 10th. Marte created the Mets’ first run in the first inning. He singled, stole second, took third on a throwing error by catcher Joey Bart, and then scored when an Alex Cobb pitch to Lindor bounced just beyond the dirt around home plate. Cobb exited the game after 4 1/3 innings of work due to a sore right groin. He allowed four runs on six hits and no walks while striking out four.

MLB roundup: Max Fried, Braves shut down Dodgers Field Level Media

Max Fried was perfect through five innings and Travis d’Arnaud hit a home run as the visiting Atlanta Braves earned a 3-1 victory Tuesday over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fried (1-2) retired the first 15 batters he faced before Hanser Alberto singled to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning. The lefthander wound up allowing two hits and no walks while striking out eight over seven scoreless innings. Former Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen earned the save with a perfect ninth inning, his third save in three chances. Orlando Arcia had an RBI and three hits for the Braves. Los Angeles starter Walker Buehler (1-1) gave up three runs on eight hits over five innings with one walk and two strikeouts. Nats 6, D-backs 1 (Game 1) Starting pitcher Josiah Gray set the tone on a combined six-hitter as Washington defeated visiting Arizona in the opener of a daynight doubleheader. Victor Robles and Cesar Hernandez had back-to-back runscoring doubles in the Nationals’ two-run fifth inning as they took the lead for good in chilly conditions. Diamondbacks starter Madison Bumgarner (0-1), who took a no-hitter into the fifth inning, was the hard-luck loser despite working five innings without giving up an earned run. Gray (2-1) worked 5 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out eight. Nats 1, D-backs 0 (Game 2) Cesar Hernandez doubled

home the tiebreaking run in the sixth inning and Joan Adon earned his first major league victory as Washington beat visiting Arizona to complete a doubleheader sweep. Adon (1-2) allowed three hits over 6 1/3 scoreless innings while walking two and striking out five. Victor Arano finished the seventh inning, and Kyle Finnegan tossed a 1-2-3 eighth. Tanner Rainey stranded the bases loaded in the ninth for his third save. Arizona starter Tyler Gilbert (0-1) retired 11 straight batters in the nightcap before running into trouble in the sixth. He made an impressive season debut, allowing one run on three hits over 5 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out three. Cardinals 5, Marlins 1 Two 40-something players made key contributions as Albert Pujols scored twice, Adam Wainwright struck out six batters and visiting St. Louis defeated Miami. Pujols, 42, went 2-for-3 with a double, single and a hit-by-pitch. Wainwright, 40, earned the win to improve to 2-1, allowing five hits, two walks and one run in 5 2/3 innings. Jesus Luzardo (0-1) took the loss after he struck out just three and allowed seven hits, two walks and five runs (four earned) in 4 1/3 innings. Marlins right fielder Avisail Garcia left the game due to an upset stomach. Red Sox 2, Blue Jays 1 Boston made the most of its three hits while edging visiting Toronto in the opener of a threegame series. Trevor Story delivered a runscoring double in the third inning

and Connor Wong drove in the deciding run on a seventh-inning sacrifice fly just a day after he was recalled from Triple-A Worcester. Enrique Hernandez and Alex Verdugo also had a hit for Boston, which has won three of its past four games. Zack Collins homered for the Blue Jays, who have alternated losses and wins since opening the season 2-0. Mariners 6, Rangers 2 Eugenio Suarez hit a three-run homer in the first inning, and that was enough for Robbie Ray as Seattle defeated visiting Texas. Jarred Kelenic added a solo shot off the right field foul pole in the second, giving Seattle a 4-0 lead. Abraham Toro hit a two-run homer in the seventh to cap the scoring and give the Mariners victories in four of their past five games. Ray (2-1) went six innings and allowed two runs on four hits. Texas right-hander Jon Gray (0-1), making his first start since Opening Day because of a stint on the injured list with a blister on his right middle finger, gave up just three hits over five innings, but two of those were homers. Gray yielded four runs, walked one and fanned four. Angels 7, Astros 2 Kurt Suzuki hit a two-run double in a five-run fifth inning that keyed Los Angeles to a road victory over Houston. The Angels improved to 4-2 on their seven-game swing through Texas, doing so by riding a balanced offensive attack. Four starters recorded multi-hit games while Suzuki and Brandon Marsh drove in two runners each. Marsh capped the breakout fifth

with a run-scoring single. Jack Mayfield chased Astros starter Framber Valdez in the fifth with a single to left that scored Anthony Rendon and lifted the Angels to a 4-1 lead. Suzuki (1for-3, two walks, two runs) greeted Houston reliever Bryan Abreu with a double to right field that scored Matt Duffy and Mayfield. Brewers 5, Pirates 2 Corbin Burnes allowed two runs in seven innings and Rowdy Tellez smacked a two-run homer to pace host Milwaukee to a victory over Pittsburgh. Burnes (1-0) allowed just two singles through the first five innings, then gave up solo homers to Daniel Vogelbach in the sixth and Josh VanMeter with two outs in the seventh. Burnes gave up four hits, striking out 10 and walking none – the 13th 10-plus strikeout game of his career. The Brewers did all their damage against JT Brubaker in a four-run second inning on just two hits with the aid of an error. Brubaker (0-2) allowed four runs, two earned, on two hits in five innings, striking out six and walking two. Royals 4, Twins 3 Salvador Perez hit two home runs and Hunter Dozier delivered a go-ahead blast to lead Kansas City to a home victory over Minnesota in the first game of a three-game series. Perez’s second multi-homer game of the season and the 14th of his career helped make a winner of reliever Amir Garrett (1-0). Josh Staumont, the fifth Kansas City reliever of the night, earned his second save.

Gerrit Cole struggles, Clarke Schmidt shines as Yanks edge Tigers Field Level Media

Clarke Schmidt recorded his first major-league victory with 3 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, Aaron Hicks led the offense and the New York Yankees topped the host Detroit Tigers 4-2 on Tuesday. Yankees ace Gerrit Cole lasted just 1 2/3 innings, as he walked five batters and gave up two runs while throwing 68 pitches. Schmidt (1-2) struck out six before three other relievers bridged the gap to Aroldis Chapman, who recorded his second save by retiring the side

in order during the ninth inning. Hicks reached base three times, scored two runs and drove in another. The Yankees caught a break to take a 2-0 lead in the first. Hicks led off with a single and moved up on Anthony Rizzo’s one-out walk. After a strikeout, Tigers starter Tyler Alexander (0-1) walked DJ LeMahieu to load the bases. On a 3-2 pitch, Josh Donaldson hit a popup between the mound and home plate. Alexander tried a basket catch, but the ball popped out

of his glove as two runs scored. Alexander was replaced by Rony Garcia in the second inning, but Garcia was injured after throwing a wild pitch that allowed Isiah Kiner-Falefa to reach third. Will Vest took over with one out in the inning and gave up a sacrifice fly to Hicks. Cole threw 46 pitches in the second, a career high for any inning. He gave a leadoff single to Miguel Cabrera and issued three consecutive oneout walks, the final one forcing in a run. Robbie Grossman hit a sac fly and Austin Meadows

drew another walk to end Cole’s night. Schmidt replaced him and struck out Jonathan Schoop to leave the score 3-2. The Tigers had two runners in scoring position with one out in the seventh. However, Schoop was thrown out at home on Cabrera’s infield chopper and Clay Holmes then struck out Spencer Torkelson. New York tacked on an insurance run in the ninth. Hicks drew a walk against Joe Jimenez, stole second and scored on LeMahieu’s two-out single.

2022 NFL draft: Top wide receivers Eddie Brown The San Diego Union-Tribune

Welcome to draft season! This is the first of 11 positional breakdowns leading up to the NFL draft (April 28-April 30). Here are my top 10 wide receivers: — 1. Drake London (Jr., USC, 6-foot-3, 219 pounds) London only played eight games after his season ended with a broken ankle, but his size, athleticism, and flair for the spectacular catch (reminiscent of Mike Evans) will make him a problem for defensive coordinators in the NFL. Projected: Top 15 — 2. Jameson Williams (Jr., Alabama, 6-1, 179) Williams has sprinter speed and is a threat to score anytime the ball is in his hands -- he set an Alabama single-season record and led the FBS with four touchdowns of 70-plus yards in 2021. He’s also proven to be a talented gunner on punt coverage (nine career tackles). He was in the mix to be the first wide receiver drafted before he tore his ACL in the national championship game. Projected: Round 1 — 3. Garrett Wilson (Jr., Ohio State, 5-11, 183) Wilson leaves Columbus ranked top 10 in receptions (143), receiving yards (2,213) and receiving touchdowns (23) for the Buckeyes. He can threaten a defense at every level, but will need to improve against physical press corners because of his lean frame and play strength. Projected: Top 15 — 4. Chris Olave (Sr., Ohio State, 6-0, 187) It’s rare you find a route technician with reliable hands who can also run this fast. Olave surpassed David Boston as the Buckeyes’ alltime leader in touchdown receptions (35). Projected: Round 1 — 5. Jahan Dotson (Sr., Penn State, 5-10, 178) Dotson features the game-breaking speed to beat defenses at all three levels, has excellent hands (only two drops on 138 targets in 2021) and is good against press coverage despite his size. Projected: Rounds 1-2 — 6. Treylon Burks (Jr., Arkansas, 6-2, 225) There are shades of Deebo Samuel here, but in a linebacker-sized package. Burks’ physicality, acceleration and vision make him a terror after the catch — he broke 15 tackles on 66 receptions in 2021 — but there is work to do as route runner. Projected: Round 1 — 7. Skyy Moore (Jr., Western Michigan, 5-9, 195) Moore’s elite agility makes him a nightmare in the open field, but he’s even more difficult to bring down if a defender gets their hands on him -- he broke an FBS-high 26 tackles last

year. Speaking of hands, his measured larger than DeAndre Hopkins (known for his giant mitts) -- 10 1/4 to 10 inches even. Projected: Rounds 1-2 — 8. George Pickens (Jr., Georgia, 6-3, 195) There aren’t many one-on-one battles Pickens won’t win. Over 70% of his career catches resulted in a first down or touchdown. Maturity and durability concerns could hurt his draft stock. Projected: Rounds 1-2 — 9. Christian Watson (Sr., North Dakota State, 6-4, 208) Watson is a classic size/speed combo who has proven to be one of the best home-run hitters in the FCS (20.4 yards per reception during his career) with four touchdowns of at least 65 yards in 2021. Drops are a concern and he’s never faced an FBS opponent. Projected: Round 2 — 10. Jalen Tolbert (Sr., South Alabama, 6-1, 194) Tolbert faced only one Power 5 program over his final 34 games, but showcased his talent with seven receptions, 143 yards and a touchdown against Tennessee last November. He considered offers to attend Michigan State and Vanderbilt, but chose to stay close to home. Projected: Round 2

Tom Brady: ‘Bitter ending’ to last season helped spark unretirement Rick Stroud Tampa Bay Times

TAMPA, Fla. — Tom Brady knows the end of his career is near but had a bitter feeling about the way the 2021 season ended with a 30-27 loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion Rams. “At the end of the day, I just love the competition on the field,” Brady told ESPN. “And last year was a very bitter ending to a season, and we’ve got to make a lot of corrections and try to improve and put ourselves in a better position to succeed moving forward.” You have to wonder if one of those corrections was naming Todd Bowles the new Bucs head coach after Bruce Arians abruptly retired to take a front office job. Brady said after retiring Feb. 1 that he spoke with several members of the organization that he had built relationships with -- including Arians -- and decided he wanted to continue playing. The Bucs own Brady’s rights and made it clear they weren’t interested in trading them.

In other words, if Brady wanted to play, it would be with the Bucs. Brady’s announcement that he was ending his retirement came on the eve of the start of free agency. That wasn’t a coincidence. As that deadline approached, Brady said he started seriously thinking about playing again. “I knew my body, physically, could still do what it could do and obviously, I have a love for the game,” Brady said. “I think I’ll always have a love for the game. I do think physically, I’ll be able to do it. I just felt there was still a place for me on the field.” But he made it clear, this time it may not be for long. “I know I don’t have a lot left, I really do,” said Brady, who turns 45 on Aug. 3. “I know I’m at the end of my career. I wish you could go on forever, but it’s just not and football comes at too high a cost now. My kids are getting older and it’s just harder and harder to miss these things. “But I wanted to give myself and my teammates and our

organization another incredible opportunity to accomplish something that we’d all be very proud of.” Brady spoke to ESPN the day before the launch of his new golf collection through his performance apparel brand BRADY. On June 1, he will team with Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers against the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and the Bills’ Josh Allen in the latest installment of The Match, a golf event to raise money for charity. Brady did not address reports that he planned to join the Miami Dolphins ownership group headed by Michigan booster Stephen M. Ross or whether Brian Flores’ lawsuit against the team and the NFL, which dropped the same day he announced his retirement, affected his plans. It’s clear Brady won’t participate in the Bucs’ offseason program so the next time he’s likely to be questioned about his unretirement will be during the team’s mandatory minicamp June 7-9.

— BONUS: David Bell (Jr., Purdue, 6-0, 212) Bell’s route-running is advanced and his YAC ability should make him an impact player early in his career. He doesn’t feature the explosive athletic traits some of the higherranked prospects do, but he was one of the most productive players at the position in the entire nation during his time in West Lafayette — Bell finished his career with 101.2 receiving yards per game (No. 1 among all active FBS players in 2021). Projected: Rounds 2-3 — BONUS: Khalil Shakir (Sr., Boise State, 5-11, 196) Shakir is one of the best route-runners in this draft, and is a threat after the catch. The team captain is a jack-of-all-trades who had 71 carries and five pass attempts during his collegiate career. Projected: Rounds 2-3 — BONUS. John Metchie III (Jr., Alabama, 5-11, 187) Medical evaluations will be important — Metchie was diagnosed with an enlarged heart in high school and suffered a torn ACL in last year’s SEC Championship — but he was very productive for the Crimson Tide the last two seasons and is capable of playing inside or outside. Projected: Rounds 2-3 — BONUS: Kyle Phillips (Jr., UCLA, 5-11,

189) Philips was the biggest star of the Shrine Bowl and virtually uncoverable throughout the week. His size dictates he’ll primarily play in the slot at the next level, but his exceptional hands and route-running capabilities should make him a contributor early on. Projected: Rounds 3-4 — BONUS: Alec Pierce (Sr., Cincinnati, 6-3, 211) Pierce features prototypical size at the position in a draft class that is lacking it. He’s still developing as a route runner, but this team captain features excellent ball skills and smooth athleticism — coaches experimented with him at linebacker in his freshman season. Projected: Rounds 3-4 — BONUS: Wan’Dale Robinson (Jr., Kentucky, 5-8, 178) Robinson is undersized, but his skill set translates to being a slot receiver or return man in the NFL who can create big plays when he gets the ball in space. He transferred from Nebraska and produced 1,334 yards on 104 receptions and seven touchdowns his first season in the SEC. Projected: Rounds 3-4 — BONUS: Calvin Austin III (Sr., Memphis, 5-7, 170) Austin is an explosive track athlete who isn’t getting any bigger, but his surprising ball skills and immense return capabilities will provide a future at the next level. Projected: Rounds 3-6 — BONUS: Justyn Ross (Jr., Clemson, 6-3, 205) Ross’ freshman season screamed future first-rounder — he led the Tigers with 46 receptions for 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns — but then he missed the entire 2020 season due to a congenital fusion condition of his neck and spine that required surgery. Can he return to his pre-injury form? Projected: Rounds 4-7 — BONUS: Kevin Austin Jr. (Jr., Notre Dame, 6-2, 200) Austin is one of the biggest risk-reward prospects in this draft. His talent and athleticism scream top-level prospect, but injuries and maturity issues essentially kept him off the field until 2021, when we finally caught a glimpse of his true potential. Projected: Rounds 5-7 — BONUS: Makai Polk (So., Mississippi State, 6-3, 195) Polk set single-season school records for receptions (105) and receiving yards (1,046) in his only season at Starkville. Projected: Rounds 4-7

The transfer portal is overthe-top chaotic, but it was still the right thing to do John Clay Lexington Herald-Leader

LEXINGTON, Ky. — First of all, we’re happy for Dick Vitale. ESPN’s loud and proud college basketball analyst had a tough winter. He battled cancer and underwent vocal cord surgery. Thankfully, one of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet is now cancer-free. He should be back talking soon. In the meantime, Dickie V is having a fit. The culprit: the transfer portal. The outlet: social media, where Vitale has been incessantly tweeting that the plethora of players bouncing from school to school is harming hoops. A Vitale tweet late Monday: “PATHETIC what the TRANSFER PORTAL is doing to college sports. How is this CHAOS & CHEATING going on gr8 lessons for young ppl to DEVELOP values needed for the Game of Life. Quitting / lack of loyalty is what is happening traits that destroy ppl as they face the REAL WORLD.” The capital letters and abbreviations are all his, by the way. There are currently over 1,400 players in the transfer portal for men’s college basketball. It is chaotic. And no doubt tampering and cheating is happening inside and outside the portal. To that I say: So what. It was the right thing to do when the NCAA passed a rule last year allowing student-athletes to transfer in football and basketball without having to sit out a season, as was the previous requirement. It’s still the right thing to do. After all, it’s only fair. So-called regular students are allowed to transfer schools without having to sit out a certain class or an extracurricular activity. A music student at one school can transfer to another school without giving up

unnecessary escalation. That’s Will Smith without the slap. Irving can’t claim victim under those circumstances. OK, but then point No. 3: The NBA is all over the place with their rules and guidelines regarding fan engagement. Last year, while under

meant DJ LeMahieu would be free to play third every day - a trade that gave the Yankees options but not necessarily clarity. They made some changes. But they did not, it seems, change. For a team built around familiar faces and surrounded by familiar narratives, it is unusually difficult to choose adjectives to describe the 2022 Yankees - other than, perhaps, “tall.” But towering frames in their outfield and in the middle of their order, like the towering expectations they face again this year, do not offer much insight into exactly what this team will be. “It’s going to be a fun, tough season that my early signs say we’re equipped to handle,” Boone said last week, though exactly what the Yankees are equipped to accomplish is

music for a year. And, as has often been stated, a coach can move from one school to another -- often while breaking a contract -- without missing a season. A generation gap exists with regard to the portal. Most younger fans have little to no problem with an athlete moving from school to school. They see it as player empowerment. After years and years of a system in which schools/coaches/athletic directors had all the power, they’re happy to see the players enjoy their newfound free agency. The older generation shakes its head. As the 82-year-old Vitale protests, it sees the current trend as a disturbing lack of loyalty and commitment. To older fans, the transfer portal is the easy way out for dissatisfied players. The old-school argument: Back in “my day,” an athlete showed some grit and stuck it out. Tell that to the athlete who is recruited over, or who’s favorite assistant coach leaves, or is stuck in a system that doesn’t benefit his or her talent or his or her development. You are only a college athlete for a short period of time. Take Dontaie Allen. The former Kentucky state high school hero played a grand total of 429 minutes over two seasons as a Kentucky Wildcat before announcing last week he is transferring to Western Kentucky. Should Allen have to sit out a season before playing for the Hilltoppers? What’s the point? Take Johni Broome. After excelling against mid-major competition, the Morehead State center has entered the portal apparently with the intent of seeing how he might fare at a higher level. Should Broome really have to sit out a season just because he wants to test his skills? What’s the point?

On the court and off, Cade Cunningham proves to be right pick for Pistons Rod Beard The Detroit News

DETROIT — The decision wasn’t as easy as most observers made it seem. The Pistons were on the clock with the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, and as in most drafts, there’s the initial thought of what could be taking so long to decide. After all, the Pistons had enough time leading up to the draft to figure out which of the top prospects they wanted. Were they going to pick Cade Cunningham, the best all-around player, or take a chance on Jalen Green, probably the best scorer, or Evan Mobley, a versatile big man, or someone else? Any of the top options could help turn the franchise around almost immediately. Pistons general manager Troy Weaver said following the draft that they didn’t make up their mind until the morning of the draft. “We’re thrilled that we landed on Cade and we’re excited about him joining the Pistons family,” Weaver said on draft night. “We vetted this process out and he was always one of the top guys. We looked at the versatility he brings, the leadership and the connectability, which really separated him.” With Cunningham’s rookie season in the books following a 23-59 season, nothing really has changed in that assessment. Weaver and the Pistons still are thrilled with their choice, and although the pick didn’t immediately turn into a bigger number in the win column, it did mark an inflection point in their rebuild. The Pistons got the pick right. Cunningham had a remarkable rookie season, leading all rookies with 17.4 points and he added 5.5 rebounds and 5.6 assists. Normally, those stats are good enough to win NBA Rookie of the Year easily, and Cunningham, who played in 64 games, is one of the three

finalists, along with Mobley and Toronto’s Scottie Barnes. Whether Cunningham wins isn’t the point here. It’s that the Pistons got what they needed. Beyond the numbers, the eye test shows Cunningham can be the engine to the rebuild, easily finding his own shot in clutch time and getting his teammates involved throughout the game. Going back to Weaver’s original expectations of Cunningham, it was as much the off-court ability as the basketball talent that sealed the deal. “We said we needed a leader, and for him to come in the door at 19 years old, having a voice and to have his leadership qualities displayed this year is tremendous,” Weaver said last week. “He’s a connector because of his leadership. He came and displayed that early on. Most of the time, young guys coming through the door want to stick their toe in -- he jumped in and he was ready to go with his leadership and connecting ability. “He didn’t let his struggles early on dictate how he still responded with the group, and as things got better, you started to see not only his growth, but the growth of the team, because of those two special qualities he has -- leadership and his connectability.” The leadership was chief among those, given the roster composition and the not-as-vocal personalities of many of the core players. The Pistons could have opted for any of the other picks, but with Cunningham, they got the full package. “When you’re absent of something and it shows up, you like it,” Weaver said last week. “Our leadership was kind of different. Our veteran guys are kind of quieter guys. Some of our young guys are workmanlike. “Cade has a voice, and it was a welcome voice because we didn’t really have a vocal guy or rah-rah type guy. So, when he came in, it

was like, ‘Okay, this is something we needed.’ But we have guys who are very authentic, and Cade was authentic, and they received him well because he was being himself.” Mobley, who is the frontrunner for the rookie award, is quiet, by many accounts, and that likely wouldn’t have fit as well with the Pistons’ roster and locker room. They needed what Cunningham has brought, and their compass is pointing toward winning in the long term because of it. It’s a delicate balance for Cunningham, because it’s rare to have a rookie come in and take over a team from the start. Usually, there’s a transition period, where the veterans carry things at first, then allow the rookie to grab the mantle when he’s ready. Not so much for Cunningham. The veterans have helped make the transition easier, though, where he can find his voice and move forward, with their full support. “Nobody likes when somebody comes in and tries to force (their ideas) on you. I’ve never really been that guy. I try to be confident in who I am and speak my mind when I feel like I need to and allow other people to follow that if they want to,” Cunningham said. “I know what I believe in, and I work hard on the court. I talk, and I try to help tell other people what I see. From there, it’s on them on if they want to hear me or not. “I had teammates that really tried to empower me in a leadership role. Having guys like (veteran center Kelly Olynyk), who knows the game as well as anybody I’ve ever met, having him empower and uplift me into being a better leader meant a lot to me. I tried to take that challenge on and step into that role like I’ve been there before.” The right time. The right player. The right pick.

pressure from the media and players, Commissioner Adam Silver tried to crack down on abuse from the stands. Fans were getting banned left and right, and the media played along by acting like popcorn being thrown on Russell Westbrook was a capital crime. A fan in Boston chucked a water bottle at Kyrie, which prompted criminal charges of assault with a dangerous weapon. Yet, just last week,

Hornets forward Miles Bridges wasn’t even suspended a single game after he threw his freshly-used mouthpiece at a heckler and missed, instead hitting a 16-year-old girl. Bridges was fined 0.9% of his salary. This isn’t David Stern’s NBA. Silver has re-defined player friendly. So why should Irving not feel protected from nasty fans? Why should he be punished for reciprocating

rudeness when the NBA is failing to uphold its written “Fan Code of Conduct”? Why should he be fined the same amount for his middle finger as Bridges was fined for hurling his nasty mouthpiece in the direction of an unsuspecting spectator? Yeah, but what about the final point: Irving brought a lot of this on himself. He’s a lightning rod whose purposeful vague

ramblings leave actions up for interpretation. Of everything Irving said during this chaotic season, the following stuck out the most: “I don’t really give an explanation. You guys know me. I throw darts in the air and just wait for people to assume whatever they want.” True. But then the final point: In Boston, Irving clearly presented himself as the

ultimate heel by blasting the fanbase after he left, by stepping on that silly leprechaun. He can’t anticipate civility and video tributes. He’s getting paid VERY well because of the fans, so there’s an expectation, at least on some level, to just “man up,” as Shaquille O’Neal said. Is that fair? The NBA clearly thinks so. Like we said, it’s complicated. That’s the way it tends to be with Kyrie Irving.

“I think there’s some small tweaking that could be done to make it even better, but it was an overall really good race, I thought,” Larson said. The late-night timing noticeably improved track conditions by keeping in moisture, but rain led to multiple red flag delays, which meant that the event ran almost four hours, ending around 11 p.m. The Easter date, weather and second-year slump likely impacted turnout, too, since the crowd size looked smaller than last year. (Tracks don’t

usually make attendance numbers public.) Thus, my next take: NASCAR should try another Cup race on dirt, but leave Bristol’s concrete alone. I’m not sure whether that will happen. Plans were announced Tuesday for another dirt race at Bristol in 2023. There are realistic considerations for NASCAR’s Cup Series racing at a purpose-built dirt oval, such as the smaller seating capacity. Eldora Speedway, the Ohio clay dirt track owned by Tony Stewart, boasts that it hosts

more than 20,000 spectators at its events. Bristol Motor Speedway’s full seating capacity is 150,000, according to the track. But were all seats filled on Sunday? Definitely not. The lower levels were covered by signage and “The Last Great Colosseum” was about halffull in the half-hour prior to the race, with more fans filling in just before the green flag and leaving after the delays. Plus, while ticket sales are important, the Bristol dirt race was an event especially

targeted at a TV audience with the holiday slot. The spirit of innovation and short track spectacle of it reminded me of the Clash at the LA Coliseum, so why not lean into that and make an exhibition or All-Star dirt race (in seasons with typically less rain) at a venue like Eldora? Or, consider leaving North Wilkesboro an unpaved dirt track after its October race and eventually run a Cup race there? If a goal is to connect to racing’s roots, then a

made-for-dirt track or one of the most historic venues in stock car racing makes the sense. Bristol consistently delivers a show, and the latest race was no letdown. Busch was right when he said that Bristol is fine with or without dirt. But it’s better without. Regardless of the surface, it’s hard not to be excited for the next Bristol show in September.

maddeningly unclear. During a 5-5 start, the Yankees acted like a team that knows where it’s going and what it will take to get there. At least one middle-of-the-order bat rested almost every game - Giancarlo Stanton one night, Aaron Judge the next - the kind of thing that teams do when they have some sense of where they’ll be six months from now and want to make sure everyone is healthy when they get there. But will they get there? Should this team believe it can afford to plan ahead, particularly when one more win last year would have meant hosting the wild-card game instead of losing it at Fenway Park, particularly in a division so loaded that Boone could only brace himself behind a smile when asked how difficult surviving it could be? “There were probably some games last year where, I think it was a little bit of an off year for us offensively. We didn’t put teams away, regardless

of who they were, on as many nights as we should have or could have,” Boone said. “ . . . We learned last year that if we don’t play well, they’re going to beat us, so we have to put our best foot forward no matter who we’re playing against, not get caught up in ‘We got to win this many out of 19’” in season series against AL East opponents. The difficulty with the Yankees is deciding whether 2021 was indeed an off year and what an “on” year for this offense might look like. LeMahieu - the only player in baseball’s modern era to win the batting title in each league - had what was indisputably a down year in 2021. He is a .301 career hitter who hit .268 last year, and he has looked far more comfortable this season. His reemergence should help. But Judge had a season in line with his career numbers. Stanton didn’t have an outstanding 2021, but 35 homers and an .870 on-base-plus-slugging percentage didn’t exactly add

up to a lost season. Torres struggled. Donaldson is a proven performer. Rizzo hit .249 with a .768 OPS in 49 games after being traded to the Yankees - numbers below his career averages but not by so much that New York should expect an entirely different player this season. Joey Gallo hit .160 with a .707 OPS during his time with the Yankees, but he’s a .205 career hitter with an .816 OPS. There are bouncebacks to be had. But can those players bounce high enough to shed the boom-or-bust offensive habits of a 2021 team that seemed stuck in a slog of its own making from opening day onward? The Yankees had played 10 games entering Tuesday, far too small of a sample to draw conclusions but a sample plenty large enough to inspire flashbacks. They led less than a third of the innings they played in those first 10 games. Some of those games were against high-powered

rivals such as the Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays. Some were against the Baltimore Orioles. Only the Orioles and the Arizona Diamondbacks were averaging fewer runs than the Yankees, something the Yankees insist - as they did for much of last year - will change soon. “Without a doubt,” Judge told reporters after Sunday’s 5-0 loss to the Orioles. His manager, ever positive, agreed and told reporters that this year’s group is “made up differently” from last year’s team. Some of the stats support their hypothesis: The Yankees were barreling a higher percentage of balls than all but two teams in baseball. Their expected weighted on-base average (xWOBA), which uses launch angle and exit velocity as well as batter speed to predict the outcome of each at-bat, was the sixth best in baseball ahead of Tuesday’s games. But of the five teams ahead of them in that category, two are in their division.

Even beyond the lineup, familiar faces do not preclude uncertainty. Gerrit Cole wasn’t the same late last season as he was early in the year and, entering Tuesday’s start against Detroit, had allowed six earned runs in 9 2/3 innings. Stalwart closer Aroldis Chapman’s average fastball velocity was 97.2 mph in his first five appearances, the lowest of his career for a player who built his reputation on his velocity. A few good outings from either could bury those red flags by mid-May. A few big nights at the plate could make the Yankees look like a juggernaut. But for all the familiar faces, these Yankees seem to be having baseball’s equivalent of an identity crisis. They’re a team built to be high-powered offensively but have no certainty that high-powered offense will materialize - a team that expected better last year and expects the same this year, whether it is built to be better or not.

Nets’ Ben Simmons plays 4-on-4 with contact; Game 3 return possible Kristian Winfield New York Daily News

BOSTON — Nets star forward Ben Simmons participated in four-on-four drills on Monday and five-on-zero “scripting, running through the plays” on Tuesday with no setback to the lower back injury that has restricted him from making his Nets debut, head coach Steve Nash said after Tuesday’s practice at Harvard. “Yesterday was his first day of contact,” Nash said at the Lavietes Pavilion. “He played with some teammates yesterday and he’s making progress, but there’s no real update. We’ll just see how he responds and see if he’s able to do more contact tomorrow.” Asked how Simmons’ back responded to the contact, Nash said: “So far, so good. He managed yesterday’s activity well. ... He felt fine today.” Nets star Kevin Durant categorized Simmons’ work on Tuesday as “just a walkthrough.” “I didn’t really see him explode or play against anybody,” Durant said after practice. “I’ve been hearing good reports.” Durant also said he didn’t hear about any setbacks regarding Simmons’ back on Tuesday. “That’s pretty much what I’m looking for when somebody on our team goes through anything or they’re playing in the stay-ready group, pre-practice groups if anybody’s got injured,” he said. “So I haven’t heard anything, so he’s probably progressing pretty well. So we’ll see.” Nash said Simmons will likely do another

four-on-four during Friday’s upcoming practice back in Brooklyn at the HSS Training Facility in Sunset Park, but the Nets coach said “he’s probably not” going to do five-on-five on Friday

because the Nets “don’t have 10 guys” for him to practice with in the stay-ready group. “It’s really trying to put him in an environment where he can start to build up, see if he can take

contact, see if he can run the floor, make cuts, rebound, defend,” Nash said. “All those things he’s gotta have time on the floor to do to see if he can physically adapt and that process is just beginning.” Simmons remains out for Game 2, but when asked about the possibility the 25-year-old Australian forward plays in Game 3, Nash did not rule him out completely. “I wouldn’t be able to say anything about that because I’m not even sure how he’s gonna get through these weeks,” he said. “We have to also consider it’s a nine-month absence, or whatever it is, so it’s not just like he had a six-week absence. I think it’s a pretty unique scenario and it’s not as linear as the other in-season injuries.” Simmons spent the end of Tuesday’s practice working with vaunted NBA sharpshooter-turnedNets player development coach Kyle Korver. Simmons made a series of off-the-dribble and turn-around jump shots and worked with Korver individually. Simmons is a two-time All-Star who has ranked in the top 20 in assists, field-goal percentage, steals and rebounds over the course of his fouryear career. He cited mental health issues while holding out of the front half of his season in Philadelphia, then arrived in Brooklyn via the Feb. 10 James Harden trade. Simmons has yet to make his debut after suffering a herniated disk while ramping up his conditioning after the trade. He received an epidural to alleviate the pain in his lower back on March 13.

NHL roundup: Aleksander Barkov, Panthers extend winning streak to 11 Field Level Media

MARK J. REBILAS/USA TODAY

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (14) drives to the basket against Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (1) during the first quarter during game two of the first round for the 2022 NBA playoffs at Footprint Center on Tuesday.

NBA roundup: Brandon Ingram, Pelicans even series with Suns Field Level Media

Brandon Ingram recorded 37 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists and the New Orleans Pelicans evened their firstround playoff series against the top-seeded Phoenix Suns at one game apiece with a solid 125114 road triumph on Tuesday night. CJ McCollum made six 3-pointers and had 23 points, nine assists and eight rebounds as the eighth-seeded Pelicans outplayed the powerful Suns. Phoenix star Devin Booker scored 31 points but departed in the third quarter with a hamstring injury. Mikal Bridges tallied 19 points, and Chris Paul added 17 points and 14 assists but shot just 5-for-16 from the field. Herbert Jones added 14 points and Larry Nance Jr. had 13 for New Orleans, which outscored Phoenix 69-53 in the second half. Jonas Valanciunas contributed 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Pelicans.

Heat 115, Hawks 105 Jimmy Butler scored a careerplayoff-high 45 points, including seven over a critical stretch in the fourth quarter, and Miami beat visiting Atlanta to take a 2-0 lead in an Eastern Conference first-round series. Top-seeded Miami built a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter before eighth-seeded Atlanta battled back on the strength of Bogdan Bogdanovic’s playoff career-best 29 points, 19 of which he scored in the final period. The Hawks were much more competitive in Tuesday’s Game 2 than in Sunday’s 115-91 defeat, thanks in part to an improved scoring effort from Trae Young. The star guard scored just eight points in Game 1, a mark he passed by the end of the first quarter on Tuesday. Young went into halftime with 18 points, but Miami held him to just seven in the second half.

Aleksander Barkov completed a hat trick 20 seconds into overtime and the Florida Panthers rallied late to defeat the New York Islanders 3-2 Tuesday night in Elmont for their 11th consecutive win. Barkov got behind the defense, took a pass from Jonathan Huberdeau and slid the puck past Ilya Sorokin for the gamewinner, his 37th goal of the season. Sergei Bobrovsky made 24 saves for the Panthers, who are tied with the Colorado Avalanche for the NHL lead in points. Huberdeau assisted on all three goals and has a league-leading 81 assists on the season. Sebastian Aho and Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored for the Islanders). Sorokin deserved a better fate as he made 39 saves in his fifth straight start while Semyon Varlamov recovers from an illness. Bruins 3, Blues 2 (OT) Charlie McAvoy scored the winning goal in overtime as visiting Boston defeated St. Louis to snap the Blues’ ninegame winning streak. The Bruins controlled the puck in overtime and won 48 seconds in when Jake DeBrusk set up McAvoy for his winning shot from the slot. DeBrusk and Taylor Hall also scored for the Bruins, while Jeremy Swayman made 20 saves for Boston. Pavel Buchnevich had a goal and an assist, Robert Thomas also scored and Vladimir Tarasenko collected two assists for the Blues, who extended their point streak to 13 games (11-0-2). Predators 3, Flames 2 (SO) Matt Duchene became the first 40-goal scorer in Nashville history and Mikael Granlund potted the shootout winner in a home victory over Calgary. Filip Forsberg also scored for the Predators, who strengthened their hold on a Western Conference wild-card playoff spot. Juuse Saros made 19 saves through overtime. Andrew Mangiapane scored both goals for the Pacific Division-leading Flames, who have a 10-point edge in the chase for the division title. Dan Vladar stopped 25 shots prior to the shootout. Senators 4, Canucks 3 (SO)

Adam Gaudette scored the deciding shootout goal to give Ottawa a road win over Vancouver. Alex Formenton had two goals, Parker Kelly scored and Nikita Zaitsev had two assists for Ottawa. Zaitsev set up Formenton’s third-period goal that put the Senators ahead 3-2 after they trailed 2-0 at the end of the first period. The Canucks saw their six-game winning streak end, though they still have an eight-game points streak (6-0-2). Brock Boeser and J.T. Miller each had a goal and an assist for the Canucks. Travis Dermott scored Vancouver’s other goal. Sharks 3, Blue Jackets 2 Scott Reedy scored twice to highlight San Jose’s three-goal first period and the Sharks held on for a victory over visiting Columbus to snap a 10-game losing streak. Rudolfs Balcers also scored a goal for San Jose, which won for the first time since a 4-1 victory over Anaheim on March 26. Kaapo Kahkonen made 22 saves for his first win in eight games and seven starts with the Sharks. Kahkonen was acquired from the Minnesota Wild at the trade deadline on March 21. Jack Roslovic scored two goals for Columbus, which lost its third straight game. Elvis Merzlikins finished with 25 saves. Wild 2, Canadiens 0 Kevin Fiala had a goal and an assist to help visiting Minnesota to a win over Montreal. Fiala has seven goals and seven assists in a seven-game point streak. Matt Boldy also scored and Cam Talbot made 26 saves for the Wild, who won for the fifth time in their past six games. Carey Price made 28 saves in his second start of the season for the Canadiens, who have lost six straight. Red Wings 4, Lightning 3 Jakub Vrana tallied twice, including a tiebreaking, breakaway goal in the third period, to help visiting Detroit finally beat Tampa Bay goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy. Oskar Sundqvist and Lucas Raymond also potted goals for the Red Wings, who salvaged one game in the four-game season series (1-1-2). With Alex Nedeljkovic out due to an illness, veteran Red Wings

goalie Thomas Greiss stepped into the crease and had a stellar game with 38 saves. Ross Colton scored a pair and Nikita Kucherov also found the net for the Lightning, who fell to 4-4-2 in April. Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos produced three assists to tie Martin St. Louis for the franchise record with 953 points. Maple Leafs 5, Flyers 2 William Nylander and Ilya Mikheyev each had a goal and an assist as Toronto defeated visiting Philadelphia. Timothy Liljegren, Jason Spezza and David Kampf also scored for the Maple Leafs, who won their fourth consecutive game. Jack Campbell made 37 saves for the victory. James van Riemsdyk and Ronnie Attard scored for the Flyers, who have lost six in a row. Martin Jones stopped 24 shots. Rangers 3, Jets 0 Igor Shesterkin made 31 saves as host New York posted a victory over Winnipeg. The Rangers reached 50 wins for the fifth time in team history and first time since the 2014-15 season. New York also posted its third consecutive shutout after blanking the Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings in the past week. Ryan Strome scored a power-play goal late in the second period and added an empty-netter, while defenseman Adam Fox also tallied for the Rangers. Artemi Panarin and Andrew Copp had two assists apiece. Winnipeg’s Eric Comrie stopped 31 shots. Kings 2, Ducks 1 Phillip Danualt scored a goal for the fourth consecutive game and Jonathan Quick sparkled in net as Los Angeles strengthened its hold on third place in the Pacific Division and a playoff spot with a victory at Anaheim. Adrian Kempe also scored for the Kings, who have won two straight games. Quick made 29 saves – 16 of them in the second period, including a couple of jaw-droppers during an Anaheim power play while the score was tied. Adam Henrique replied for the Ducks, who have long been eliminated from playoff contention. John Gibson stopped 26 shots.

Mike Tirico’s ascension at NBC completes NFL TV merry-go-round Matt Bonesteel The Washington Post

NBC announced Tuesday that Mike Tirico will replace Al Michaels as the play-by-play voice of the network’s Sunday night NFL broadcasts. The move hardly was surprising - Tirico has been pointed toward the highprofile Sunday night NFL job since leaving ESPN for NBC in 2016, and already has called 21 NFL games for the latter - but it completed a dizzying offseason merry-go-round among NFL broadcast booths, with nearly all the major players changing networks and time slots. Here’s a look at how your weekly NFL viewing schedule will look and sound when the new season kicks off in September. Thursday night 2021 announcers (Fox): Joe Buck and Troy Aikman

2022 announcers (Amazon Prime): Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit Amazon will pay the NFL around $1 billion for the rights to stream Thursday night games for the foreseeable future and reportedly will pay Michaels and Herbstreit at least $10 million each per year to lend their wellknown voices to the broadcasts. Michaels has been the lead announcer for NBC’s Sunday night games since 2006 and called his final game for the network at the Super Bowl earlier this year (it was his 11th Super Bowl). Before that, he was the play-by-play announcer on ABC’s “Monday Night Football” broadcasts for 20 seasons, starting in 1986. Herbstreit will continue to call college football games for ESPN along with his new NFL duties (though he also has provided analysis for several NFL games at ESPN).

Sunday afternoon (Fox) 2021 lead announcers: Buck and Aikman 2022 lead announcers: Kevin Burkhardt and analyst TBD With Buck and Aikman off to NBC (see below), Fox reportedly will replace the former in its No. 1 booth with Burkhardt, who has been calling NFL games for the network since 2013. His broadcast partner has not yet been identified, though former NFL tight end Greg Olsen - Burkhardt’s booth-mate in 2021 - is seen as a top candidate. Buck had nothing but good things to say on Twitter about his former coworker, who will be in the spotlight when Fox airs next season’s Super Bowl: “After 20 years of calling the @ nflonfox I can’t tell you how excited I am for @kevinburkhardt to take over.

He’s terrific on the air and a wonderful person. I could NOT be more excited for him and @foxsports . Go kill it Kevin! Glad to be your friend and out of your way! Well done.” Sunday afternoon (CBS) 2021 lead announcers: Jim Nantz and Tony Romo 2022 lead announcers: Nantz and Romo The one source of stability among NFL broadcast booths has been at CBS, where Nantz and Romo will continue a partnership that began in 2017. The two are under contract at CBS for the foreseeable future. Sunday night (NBC) 2021 announcers: Michaels and Cris Collinsworth 2022 announcers: Tirico and Collinsworth NBC announced Tirico’s ascension on Tuesday, a move long anticipated,

with Collinsworth remaining in the same analyst spot he’s held for the past 13 seasons. With Michele Tafoya’s retirement, Melissa Stark will be NBC’s new Sunday night sideline reporter, a job she held on ABC’s “Monday Night Football” from 2000 to 2002. Monday night (ESPN) 2021 announcers: Steve Levy, Brian Griese, Louis Riddick 2022 announcers: Buck and Aikman Levy, Griese and Riddick didn’t leave much of a mark, lasting only two seasons and watching the Manning brothers siphon off viewers to their simulcast show on ESPN2/ESPN Plus in 2021. Enter Buck and Aikman, whom ESPN lured away from Fox by making them the NFL’s highest-paid broadcast pair.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Aging husband wants to screen potential suitors for his wife Dear Abby, I am an old man, married to a wonderful woman who does everything for me. I’m in poor health and don’t expect to live much longer. My wife is a youthful 80. She’s trim, pretty, active, hardworking, loving DEAR ABBY and sexy. She enjoys skiing, fishing, gardening, board games, puzzles etc. She is the most organized person I have ever known. She likes to cook and entertain and is excellent at both. Although she has quite a few friends — widowed and otherwise — we don’t know any men who would be acceptable as a future mate after I’m gone. She’s financially independent and meticulous about keeping track of expenses. Neither of us is formally religious. To be blunt, I can’t imagine a better wife for someone special. I would like us to meet a man, probably in his 70s, preferably widowed, physically active, romantically inclined, energetic, capable with tools and household projects, not addicted to drugs or alcohol, financially independent and preferably politically conservative who would be a potential mate for her after I am gone. We have discussed this to a limited extent, but she has expressed little interest in the subject. I can’t imagine she won’t experience a renaissance after this albatross is off of her neck. She has more than earned it. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them. Thankful In Washington

You are clearly a caring and protective husband who is deeply in love with and

concerned for his wife. However, as much as you would like to screen the applicants to fill the vacancy that your death would create, there are some things a person must do for themself. When you pass on, your wife may not feel ready to move on according to your timetable. Please let her make this decision for herself when the time is right. P.S. I am sorry you are not in better health, because it seems you and your wife have a strong and loving relationship that will not be easy to replace. Dear Abby, My grandson is in a relationship with a girl who manipulates him and abuses him emotionally. I told my grandson what she is doing, but he doesn’t see it. Because of that, neither one of them is speaking to me. My grandson was a caring, happy person until he met her. Now he’s withdrawn. He is working, but she is not. They are struggling to make a life for themselves. When I ask how he’s doing, he just says OK and nothing more. Is there anything I can do to make him see what she is doing to him? It’s Obvious In Iowa

No. You have done everything you can by trying to enlighten your grandson, who, it appears, “love” has blinded. Now it’s time for you to accept that nothing will change until he wakes up and smells the coffee.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are one of those everfortunate individuals who seems to stumble upon new opportunities again and again, and who knows how to make the best of situations as they arise. This certainly doesn’t mean that you’re not going to face your share of hardship or heartache in your lifetime, for you are just the kind of person to feel things deeply, even if and when they happen to others — and it is this empathy that sets you apart. You have an attractive personality, and whether you are playing a principal or supporting role, you certainly attract at least your share of attention — if not more than that. You can be quite strong when you have to be, but you prefer to get your way through persuasion rather than through force or aggression. Also born on this date are: Queen Elizabeth II of England; Tony Romo, football player; James McAvoy, actor; Iggy Pop, singer; Tony Danza, actor; Charlotte Bronte, author; Andie MacDowell, actress; Anthony Quinn, actor; John Muir, naturalist. 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. FRIDAY, APRIL 22 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your rules serve you well today, but you must realize that not everyone can live up to your high standards. Be willing to compromise at times. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’re working on a plan that could “change everything,” but before you put it into motion, you’ll want to get another’s honest opinion of it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — A quick demonstration may not be enough today; in order

to get others to do what they are told, be ready to give very detailed instructions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’re becoming more and more involved in something that seems to be getting the better of you for some reason. Today’s the day to opt out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You can do much to alleviate the tension between two parties who claim to be allies of yours. In the end, all should run smoothly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may be afraid of doing too much at any one time, but the temptation to impress someone may simply be irresistible. Do what you will! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — A new approach increases your personal gains almost immediately — but will you be able to keep up the pace? Be honest with yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You should have no trouble fulfilling your responsibilities today — and, in fact, you may be able to help another finish a job as well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — The socalled “chemistry” between you and a socalled “partner” is something you’ll want to talk about earnestly today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Things may not be running quite as smoothly or efficiently as you had hoped today, but one small adjustment improves the situation immensely. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — What you want may not be within reach today, so you’re going to have to satisfy yourself with a second or third choice — which you can do! ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may not understand why a friend or partner is remaining distant from you at this time — but raising the issue today could be a mistake.

Opening lead: Two of ♣

route to winning the Life Master Open Pairs – a National Championship – some years ago. The opponents were playing “attitude” leads and the lead of the two could not be trusted to show a four-card suit. Pavlicek captured East’s queen of clubs at trick one with his king and he was afraid to duck a heart. Even if the hearts were 3-3, the opponents might have enough club tricks set up to defeat him. Also, this was a pairs competition and he was hoping for an overtrick. That would not be possible if he played on hearts. He led a spade to dummy’s jack at trick two. When that won he led the queen of diamonds to the king and ace as West shed a heart. A spade to dummy’s king was followed by the eight of diamonds – 10, jack, and a club discard by West. Declarer cashed the king of hearts, led a heart to the ace, and a diamond back to his six. He cashed the nine of diamonds and noted that West had shed two more clubs on the diamonds. Reading the position perfectly, he exited with the 10 of clubs to West’s jack. West cashed the ace of clubs but then had to lead a spade into Pavlicek’s ace-10. Two overtricks for a fabulous score! That’s how to win a National Championship!
