Union slams inaction on NY prison violence By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

NYSCOPBA President Michael Powers speaks at a recent news conference.

ALBANY — Violence in New York State prisons has been exploding since the implementation of HALT earlier this month, said New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association President Michael Powers. HALT stands for the Humane Alternatives for Long Term Solitary

Confinement Act, that was fully implemented in all state-run correctional facilities April 1, Powers said. NYSCOPBA represents the correction officers who work in the state-run facilities, including Coxsackie Correctional Facility, Greene Correctional Facility and Hudson Correctional Facility. The number of violent attacks on staff by incarcerated individuals is on

pace to surpass last year’s yearly record-setting total, Powers said. NYSCOPBA is calling on the state Legislature to immediately address the sharp rise in violence in prisons, as attacks on staff and other incarcerated individuals has risen significantly since HALT was fully implemented in all See UNION A2

Shultis court appearance postponed until May By Natasha Vaughn-Holdridge Columbia-Greene Media

SAUGERTIES — The court date for the family accused in a local found missing child case has been postponed until next month. The three suspects, Kirk Shultis Jr., 32; Kirk Shultis Sr, 57; and Kimberly Shultis, 33, were scheduled to appear in Saugerties Town Court on Wednesday afternoon. The family was charged in February. The child, Paislee Shultis, now 6, is the biological daughter of Kirk Shultis Jr. and Kimberly Shultis. They were not the legal guardians of the child when she was reported missing from Cayuga Heights, Tompkins County, on July 13, 2019, when she was 4 years old. Court officials said Wednesday morning the appearances scheduled for Kirk Shultis Sr. and Kimberly Shultis were adjourned until May 25. Later, court officials said scheduled appearance of Kirk Shultis Jr. had also been adjourned until May 25. Court officials did not immediately give a reason for the change of date.

Kimberly Shultis, Kirk Shultis Sr, and Kirk Shultis Jr, will appear in court next month for their alleged involvement in a missing child cases.

Kirk Shultis Jr., was charged with first-degree custodial interference and endangering the welfare of a child. Kirk Shultis Sr., was charged with first-degree custodial interference and endangering the welfare of a child. Kimberly Shultis was charged with second-degree custodial interference and endangering the welfare of a Child. In February, Kimberly Shultis was wanted on an active warrant that had

been issued through Ulster County Family Court. She was arraigned in Saugerties Town Justice Court and ordered held in the Ulster County Jail, Sinagra said. Paislee Shultis was found alive and safe Feb. 14 at a home in Saugerties, Police Chief Joseph Sinagra said at the time. The three suspects were issued orders of protection in February.

On the web

Kimberly Shultis appeared in court again last month and pleaded not guilty to the charges against her. Friends and supporters of the Shultis family showed their support outside the family’s previous court appearances by wearing blue clothing. Kimberly Shultis’ attorney, Carol K. Morgan, emailed answers to questions about the blue clothing. “Blue is calming,” Morgan explained, and added it is associated with peace and unity, and the family wants peace. During a search of the home, Saugerties police detective Erik Thiele noticed something odd about the staircase leading from the rear of the home into the basement of the house that caught his attention, Police Chief Joseph Sinagra said. Thiele thought the construction of the steps was strange, that something was out of place, Sinagra said. Using a flashlight, Thiele shined the beam through a crack between the wooden steps and saw what he believed to be a

Musicians and comedians including Jack White and Dave Chappelle have mandated the use of Yondr pouches on recent tours and the company has extrapolated the concert to an entire three-day music festival. Attendance at the Over Yondr Festival will be capped at 400 people, with festival gates set to open at 2:00 p.m. on June 24 and close at 10:00 a.m. on June 27. The festival will feature 13 bands, with music running from 5 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. all three days. The disco-rock group !!!, New Jersey rapper Topaz Jones, Brooklyn act Super Yamba Band and Pennsylvania punk band Sheer Mag will be among the performers at the festival. Greenville Planning Board Chairman Don Teator said the board was impressed with the festival organizer’s pitch. “Most of our concerns were addressed and they were very thorough,” Teator said Wednesday. “We were particularly interested in noise, safety of the clientele, electrical, water, any environmental extremities or hazards. All of the things that a planning board should be looking at to make sure that any community members or anybody coming in should be safe there. It’s a good plan, we think. After

listening to (festival Director of Operations) Arianna (Katechis) discuss that and then respond to some of our other minor concerns, we were satisfied.” Teator said the members of the Greenville community who showed up to the special meeting to weigh in on the festivals were supportive of the proposal. “We also had feedback from the public because it was a public hearing,” he said. “The two people who spoke were either neighbors or relatives and they both spoke warmly in support. We were glad to hear that. The company Over Yondr had made such a thorough presentation with the proper documentation about connecting to rescue squads. At this point we can only wish

them Godspeed and good luck and hope it’s a successful affair.” Promoted by the festival as taking place “only miles away from the original location of the iconic Woodstock Music & Art Fair,” the site of the festival in Greenville is actually located about 100 miles from the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the home of the original Woodstock festival in 1969. Tickets for the three-day festival are on sale now for $160, which includes camping at the site for the weekend. “There is no better phonefree experience than an intimate music festival,” Yondr’s founder and CEO Graham Dugoni said in a statement. “We are excited to bring people together for a weekend of great music in a beautiful setting.”

Teator said there are no additional proposed music events the scale of the Over Yondr Festival in the pipeline in Greenville. “We do have the Music in the Park summer concert series, but that’s around the town pond and that’s very much a different affair,” he said. “That would not come before the planning board.” The festival site plan includes room for 200 parking spaces and three food trucks. The site’s campgrounds include accommodations for 256 campsites. To prepare the festival site for the start of the event in June, staff will arrive at the Greenville farmland the first week of May to turn on all utilities in advance of the festival and to make needed repairs to the facilities.

Just in the past few weeks, there have been numerous incidents across New York, where multiple correctional officers were injured and hospitalized at the hands of incarcerated individuals in both maximum and medium-security settings, Powers said. n Nine officers were injured after a series of attacks in Upstate Correctional Facility, Clinton Correctional Facility and Great Meadow Correctional Facility. n Three officers were injured in an attack at Upstate Correctional, including one officer who needed to be transported to a nearby hospital. n Five officers were transported to the hospital after two separate attacks at Lakeview Shock Incarceration Facility. n A civilian staff member was injured when an inmate attempted to stab her in the neck with a pen at Mohawk Correctional Facility. n Twelve officers sustained injuries after multiple incidents over a two-day span involving inmate fights and unprovoked attacks at Orleans Correctional Facility. n An inmate slashed an officer across his face in an unprovoked attack at Cape

Andrew Cuomo signed the HALT Solitary Confinement Act into law April 1, 2021. The law went into effect April 1 this year. In May of 2021, NYSCOPBA filed a federal lawsuit against New York state to overturn HALT, arguing the new law violates its members’ civil rights. The lawsuit is pending. “The numbers support what we’ve been saying for years,” Powers said. “Any reduction in disciplinary penalties within our facilities only leads to more violence. Shame on the New York State Legislature for ignoring the decade of rising violence in our facilities which is backed by factual data, and instead crafted legislation based off emotion,” Powers said.

Hinchey: Investment will narrow housing gap By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

ALBANY — State Sen. Michelle Hinchey is touting the first-ever comprehensive state investment in upstate and rural housing that is included in the approved 2023 state budget. The state budget, which was signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul on April 9, includes more than $236 million in funding to address the affordable housing crisis in rural and upstate New York. “Upstate is consistently left out of the conversation when it comes to funding assistance for housing and, because of this inequity, we face a dire shortage that has made finding a safe, affordable place to live nearly impossible in our communities,” Hinchey said in a statement. “This year, I took a stand, rallied my colleagues and created the first-ever comprehensive investment plan in upstate and rural housing, and I’m proud to say that we delivered. “We’ve secured the largest upstate housing investment in New York’s history, which will dramatically improve and increase our local supply of rental housing and create pathways to home ownership that stays affordable for the long-term. This is a massive step forward to ensuring that young residents, seniors, and growing families have the stable, secure housing they need upstate, and we’ll continue working until everyone has a home they can safely and affordably call their own.”

Foundation to develop affordable workforce housing in Tannersville, praised Hinchey’s efforts in securing housing funding for the upstate region. “Given the scorching housing crisis that we face in the Hudson River Valley, we appreciate Sen. Hinchey’s strong leadership and support for affordable, rural and upstate housing initiatives,” O’Connor said in a statement. “Sen. Hinchey has listened to the needs of her constituents and has helped to deliver robust funding across several housing programs that will assist first-time homebuyers, create small rental housing development while funding programs to assist tenants and landlords through difficult times. “As RUPCO is presently attempting to convert an old hotel into permanent, supportive housing for the homeless, we appreciate Senator Hinchey’s successful advocacy to expand the Housing Our Neighbors with Dignity Act statewide. We look forward to working with Sen. Hinchey to meet the broad housing needs of her constituents.” The state budget also includes $5.46 million in funding to the Rural Preservation Program to help provide affordable housing and additional services for families, including legal assistance. The housing package also includes $7 million to help create small-scale rental developments between five and 20 rental units through the Small Rental Development Initiative.

Fauci backs out of White House press corps dinner over COVID surge Dave Goldiner New York Daily News

Dr. Anthony Fauci has decided to skip the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday amid concerns over COVID-19. The nation’s leading pandemic doctor says he would stay away from the gathering at the Washington Hilton located in D.C.’s tony Dupont Circle neighborhood due to

his own “individual assessment of my personal risk” amid fast-rising caseloads driven by the highly contagious BA.2 subvariant of omicron. Fauci is vaccinated and double boosted. But at 81, Fauci’s age still puts him in a demographic that is at high risk for serious illness. Trevor Noah, the host of “The Daily Show” on

Comedy Central, will be the featured entertainer at the dinner. Fauci recently said that COVID-19 is close to entering an endemic phase, and while the U.S. is seeing fewer hospitalization and deaths, Fauci may still not relish the idea of sharing a ballroom with a few thousand people, not all of whom will be wearing protective masks or taking social distancing precautions.

An important choice in hard times Rolling Grocer 19 Project Manager Selha Graham says she is taking a novel approach to fighting hunger and high food prices in the Hudson community. The full-service grocery store in downtown Hudson will provide people on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits with a $1for-$1 match on purchases of fruits and vegetables up to $20 per day. The New York-based nonprofit Field and Fork Network announced a $5,000 donation to a nationwide food incentive program called Double Up Food Bucks to help jumpstart Rolling Grocer’s participation in the incentive program. The grant is

supported with funding from the Fresh and Healthy Food for All Initiative of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. The money will help SNAP users obtain healthy foods at Rolling Grocer 19, a nonprofit store that uses a sliding-scale, fair-pricing system, allowing shoppers to pay based on their annual salary. According to research conducted by Field and Fork Network, a Buffalo-based organization that promotes food access, healthy neighborhoods and youth development, the number of grocery stores in Columbia County has decreased by 20% over the last decade. More than 11% of Columbia

County’s estimated 63,000 residents live in poverty, with nearly one in 10 lacking sufficient quantities of affordable, nutritious food. Disparities in healthy food access in low-income neighborhoods is well-studied in communities across the nation. Healthy foods are significantly less available to low-income families, according to a Yale University study. Rolling Grocer 19, at 6 S. Second St., in Hudson, is giving people an important choice in difficult times. Nobody should have to decide to go hungry or put meat and fresh produce on kitchen tables.

Feds need to ramp up COVID treatment Tampa Bay Times (TNS)

The nation’s response to the pandemic has taken on a new phase, as mask mandates and social distancing give way to home-based testing and outpatient treatments. That’s why it’s essential the Biden administration get its new “test-to-treat” program up to speed. With new infections rising in Florida and nationally, the program is vital for helping a fatigued nation manage this ongoing outbreak. The program, announced in March, is meant to control COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths by providing antiviral pills on the spot to people who test positive for the virus. It’s another step in the government’s evolution of making individuals more involved in the nation’s response. As a recent report by Kaiser Health News explains, Pfizer’s Paxlovid and Merck’s Lagevrio are both designed to be started within five days of symptoms appearing. Millions of chronically ill and older Americans are eligible, and more people may qualify soon, but many Americans don’t have access to the program. It’s ridiculous that cost and bureaucratic hurdles are still undermining this public health effort more than two years after COVID-19 exploded on the scene. As envisioned, the program allows people with COVID-19 symptoms to get

tested, be prescribed antiviral pills and fill the prescription in a single visit. The federal government and many state and local health departments direct residents to an online national map of test-to-treat sites. But as of two weeks ago, large swaths of the country had no test-to-treat pharmacies or health centers listed, according to a Kaiser survey. The program’s largest participant, CVS, had technical issues that made booking an appointment difficult. The roll out has exposed America’s fragmented public health system, where the federal, state and local governments all play a role. And it shows how high, upfront costs are barriers to keeping people healthy and hospitals operating as normal. The federal government has set aside nearly 400,000 courses of the antivirals for its federal pharmacy partners — about a quarter of the total supply since the program began, according to Kaiser. Although the cost of the pills is covered by the federal government, obtaining a prescription at participating pharmacies can be expensive, upwards of $100 for exam appointments. Kaiser also found that finding treatment might be impossible. While CVS said it is working to fix a software glitch affecting in-person appointments, some Americans, especially seniors, may lack the equip-

ment or skills for telehealth visits. And many rural communities that lack doctors, clinics and pharmacies are underserved, forcing people to drive long distances for hours to participate. This is unacceptable. The nation is rightly moving away from top-down restrictions on masks and movement. Inhome tests and treatments are more widely available, reflecting how far America has come in its public health response. But a nimbler strategy depends on execution. With cases in Florida nearly doubling over the last two weeks, and new infections nationwide up 51%, the “testto-treat” program is critical to curbing the spread and an unmanageable spike in hospitalizations. The administration needs to commit enough resources to enroll more providers and to make the application process more reliable and convenient. Putting treatments directly into the hands of those infected with COVID-19 is smart strategy, and early intervention could spare some Americans from longer-term health complications. But the federal government needs to get this right, and then use the program to its full potential. ©2022 Tampa Bay Times. Visit tampabay.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Amend the Constitution to bar senators from the presidency WASHINGTON — To conserve the reverence it needs and deserves, the Constitution should be amended rarely and reluctantly. There is, however, an amendment that would instantly improve the legislative and executive branches. It would read: “No senator or former senator shall be eligible to be president.” Seventeen presidents were previously senators. Seven of them — Harding, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Obama, Biden — became senators after 1913, when the 17th Amendment took the selection of senators away from state legislatures. The federal government’s growth, and the national media’s focus on Washington, has increased the prominence of senators eager for prominence, although it often is the prominence of a ship’s figurehead — decorative, not functional. As president-centric government has waxed, the Senate has waned, becoming increasingly a theater of performative behaviors by senators who are decreasingly interested in legislating, and are increasingly preoccupied with using social media for self-promotion. In Jonathan Haidt’s recent essay for the Atlantic, “Why the Past 10 Years of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid,” the New York University social psychologist says social media users by the millions have become comfortable and adept at “putting on performances” for strangers. So have too many senators. Haidt says social media elicits “our most moralistic and least reflective selves,” fueling the “twitchy and explosive spread of anger.” The Founders feared such incitements, long before social media arrived. Politicians, and especially senators with presidential ambitions and time on their hands, use social media to practice what Alexander Hamilton deplored (in Federalist 68) as “the little arts of popularity.” Such senators, like millions of Americans, use social media to express and encourage anger about this and that. Anger, like

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL other popular pleasures, can be addictive, particularly if it supplies the default vocabulary for social media. Today, the gruesome possibility of a 2024 Biden-Trump rematch underscores a Hamilton misjudgment: He said in Federalist 68 there is a “constant probability” of presidents “pre-eminent for ability and virtue.” Banning senators from the presidency would increase the probability of having senators who are interested in being senators, and would increase the probability of avoiding: Presidents who have never run anything larger than a Senate office. Who have confused striking poses — in the Capitol, on Twitter — with governing. Who have delegated legislative powers to the executive — for example, who have passed sentiment-affirmations masquerading as laws: Hurray for education and the environment; the executive branch shall fill in the details. And who have been comfortable running the government on continuing resolutions (at existing funding levels) because Congress is incapable of budgeting. There have been 128 CRs in the previous 25 fiscal years — 41 since 2012. Why look for presidents among senators, who have made irresponsibility routine? The 328 senators of the previous 50 years have illustrated the tyranny of the bell-shaped curve: a few of them dreadful, a few excellent, most mediocre. Although Josh Hawley, Missouri’s freshman Republican, might not be worse than all the other 327, he exemplifies the worst about would-be

presidents incubated in the Senate. Arriving there in January 2019, he hit the ground running — away from the Senate. Twenty-four months later, he was the principal catalyst of the attempted nullification of the presidential election preceding the one that he hopes will elevate him. Nimbly clambering aboard every passing bandwagon that can carry him to the Fox News greenroom, he treats the Senate as a mere steppingstone for his ascent to an office commensurate with his estimate of his talents. The constitutional equilibrium of checks and balances depends on a rivalrous relationship between the executive branch and houses of Congress that are mutually jealous of their powers. “The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place,” and government will be controlled by “this policy of supplying, by opposite and rival interests, the defect of better motives” (James Madison, Federalist 51). This institutional architecture has, however, been largely vitiated by party loyalties: Congressional members of the president’s party behave as his subservient teammates; members of the opposing party act as reflexive opposers. This changes the role of the House, whose members are generally not so telegenic and are more regimented, less than it does the role of the Senate, which degenerates into an arena of gestures, hence an incubator of would-be presidents. One of today’s exemplary senators, Mitt Romney, surely is such partly because, his presidential ambitions retired, he nevertheless wants to be a senator. Were all persons with presidential ambitions deterred from becoming senators, this probably would improve the caliber of senators, and of presidents, and the equilibrium between the political branches.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

May is Poppy Time To the editor: In the World War I battlefields of Belgium, poppies grew amid the ravaged landscape. How could such a pretty little flower grow wild while surrounded by death and destruction? The overturned soils of battle enabled the poppy seeds to be covered, thus allowing them to grow and to forever serve as a reminder of the bloodshed during that and future wars. In 1921, the American Legion Auxiliary adopted the poppy as the organization’s memorial flower and pledged its use to benefit servicemen and their families. Today, the poppy continues to provide a financial and therapeutic benefit to those hospitalized and disabled veterans who construct them, as well as benefitting the thousands of other veterans and their families. The auxiliary provides the materials for the disabled veterans to make the nine-piece

SEND LETTERS:

crepe paper poppy. They are paid a small amount for each painstakingly made flower. For some, it is their only income. While there may be many poppies distributed by various organizations, there is just one American Legion Auxiliary poppy, made carefully and slowly by hand. The label with the Auxiliary and Legion emblem states it is made by veterans. No matter what the cost of maintaining the memorial poppy is never “sold,” but given in exchange for a contribution. Poppies brighten your community, brighten the lies of veterans, bring smiles to those who wear them, bring funds for rehabilitation and bring joy to those who offer them. Don’t forget that May and especially Memorial Day is poppy time. Won’t you please try to give a donation to help the veterans? Wear your poppy with pride as you tell others you remember those who have

served. There can be no price tag on the value or appreciation of a person’s service to his or her country. Of what do you think when you see a red poppy abloom just anywhere? Do you recall the face of someone who fought and died over there? So now, when you see a red poppy, be mindful of every veteran. Some lived, some died, but the poppy lives on. Each spring, the poppies return as if to show that freedom should never die. I am the poppy chairman of the Jennings Willets American Legion 346 Auxiliary and will have a few cans out in Germantown at Gtel, Green County Bank, Palatine Park Pizza, Legion Hall, Cue 2 Go, Dollar General, Clermont Vineyard Winery and Parade.

The weather is getting better ASHLAND SPEAKS

By Lula Anderson For Columbia-Greene Media

Windows open, windows closed. It’s sunny out so I guess I’ll put on my outdoor shoes and go for a walk. Nope, it’s raining. The snow, 8” in most spots, was a good thing, as now the daffodils are perky and beautiful. Even after 70 degree weather yesterday, there is still snow in spots. Ah I love spring. Hensonville Hose Co. had their last fish fry of the season this past Friday. I know I always enjoy getting fresh fish from there. It’s a treat for all as well as a fund raiser for them. Win Win. On the subject of food, don’t forget Ashland Fire Departments’ Roast Beef Dinner this Saturday. On May 21, the Ashland Church will be holding their annual May chicken barbecue The Ashland Methodist Church is planning a reunion for all of the youth who enjoyed fellowship and fun with the Youth Groups, be it Sunday School, or our Youth Program, to be held on June 4. We are still in the planning stage and could always use your input and participation. I made an error in last week’s new business report. The name of the new deli is Main Street Market. I’m looking forward to seeing what they have to offer. Farewell to Ashland Post Master, Ashley who is leaving us and moving out of state after serving Ashland for two years. Another group of snow birds have returned. Welcome back! With the on coming season and high prices, if you used to have a garden, maybe this is the year to do it again. I love going through the seed

ANDERSON catalogues and looking at all of the new varieties of vegetables. But then I think about it, and what would I do with all of the produce, and so no garden for me. Esther Choi and the three boys left on Wednesday to spend some time with her parents in South Korea. I can’t imagine traveling all that distance with the three little ones. How do you keep them entertained on the long plane trip? Esther, our thoughts are definitely with you. Pastor Choi will join her soon, and after a month’s vacation they will start packing up as Pastor has been assigned to a new parish in Manhattan starting July 1. Prayers and sympathy go to the family of Richard Seeley II (83) who passed away. Richard was the proprietor of Seeley’s Inn in Hensonville before moving to Florida. Condolences to the family of Ronald Garvey (79) who graduated from WAJ in 1961. He was married to Carolyn Wank and owned the Maplecrest garage for many years. In 1988 he left the garage to work for Greene County as a mechanic. Sympathy to the family of Larry Lawrence who passed away, at home, on Saturday. The family needs many prayers as they have had many passings in the past few weeks.

AS I REMEMBER IT

Bank of Greene County announces new lending vice president

With the passing of Larry (Clifford) Lawrence, I thought abut his family and my neighbors. His mother was a Munger and when Pauline and Cliff were first married, they lived in the house where I now live. The land around was all farms: Tuttle, Holdridge, Martin, Greenleaf, Van Hoesen, Deyo, Lawrence and many more. For a time, Cliff and Pauline lived in an apartment in the house where his brother, Bert, lived which is now owned by my friend, Jackie. They then moved to the family farm which was owned by Pauline’s mother and father, Sherman and Zeda Munger and raised two children. The Lawrence family raised turkeys, both at Bert and Helen’s farm, and at the Munger farm. One of their hobbies was collecting and restoring horse drawn buggies and carriages. He would repair the wooden wheels and metal sections and she the upholstery, canopy (Surrey). Pauline was the teacher for many of the Home Demonstration classes and furniture repair. The sign of a good child is the family he was brought up in. Sherman (Sherm) was a very well-known and respected farmer, who went out of his way to help his neighbor. Cliff and Pauline followed suit, and then Larry. They were handson farmers and instructors. Larry and Cliff went into the excavating business together and as you ride around the area, you will see many of the farm ponds that they dug, after it was enacted that every farm should have its own fire pond. Lawrence is a name that will be remembered by the mark they made on the community. May you Rest in Peace.

Court strikes down NY congressional maps, primary elections likely to be pushed back By Denis Slattery New York Daily News/TNS

ALBANY — New York’s highest court struck down Democrat-drawn congressional and state senate districts on Wednesday, a decision that could see the state’s primary pushed back until August. In a 4-3 ruling, the Court of Appeals determined that the maps were “drawn with impermissible partisan purpose.” The court backed a lower court ruling calling for the use of a special master to draw new congressional districts, determining it would be necessary to “facilitate the expeditious creation of constitutionally conforming maps for use in the 2022 election and to safeguard the constitutionally protected right of New Yorkers to a fair election.” The court also said it will “likely be necessary” to move the congressional and state Senate primary elections from June to August. That means the state could still potentially hold primaries

for Assembly seats, governor, lieutenant governor and other statewide races in June. The lawsuit prompting the decision, filed by a group of Republican voters, argued that the district boundaries crafted by the Democraticcontrolled Legislature and signed off on by Gov. Hochul were unconstitutionally gerrymandered in favor of Dems and proper procedures were not followed. A lower appeals court determined last week that the Dem-drawn maps violated the state’s ban on partisan gerrymandering and partially upheld an earlier ruling that would block the state from using the lines in this year’s midterm elections while greenlighting redrawn state Senate and Assembly districts. Now, both congressional districts and state senate districts will have to be redrawn before the state can hold a primary, which was scheduled for June 28 but now will likely be moved to August. Democrats in the Legislature drew up the

now-scrapped maps earlier this year after an independent commission meant to take politics out of the process wound up deadlocked. The 10-member bipartisan panel, created as part of a voter-approved constitutional change in 2014, failed to reach a consensus and voted to send a pair of competing maps, one drawn up by Republicans and another by Democrats, to lawmakers. “The legislature responded by creating and enacting maps in a nontransparent manner controlled exclusively by the dominant political party,” the majority members of the Court of Appeals wrote in Wednesday’s decision. Hochul, also a Democrat, signed off on the final product in February, all but guaranteeing that Albany and New York’s congressional delegation would remain blue for the next decade. The state lost one congressional seat following the 2020 Census and will have 26 representatives in the House starting next year. The ruling from the state’s top court

American ex-Marine Trevor Reed released from Russian prison in swap Kate Feldman New York Daily News

Almost two years after he was sentenced to nine years in a Russian prison, former Marine Trevor Reed was released Wednesday in a prisoner swap. “Our family has been living a nightmare. Today, our prayers have been answered and Trevor is on his way back safely to the United States,” Reed’s family said in a statement. Reed, a 30-year-old Texas native, was arrested in 2019 for allegedly assaulting a police officer after getting drunk at a party while visiting his girlfriend in Moscow. He was convicted of intentionally endangering the lives and health of the police officers and sentenced in July 2020. But Reed and his family have denied any wrongdoing and the former Marine had reportedly been in failing health behind bars as he approached his 1,000th day in custody. Last month, a spokesperson for the family said Reed had caught tuberculosis and suffered a broken rib after “something fell” on him. When his captors refused to get him medical care, Reed went on a hunger strike, breaking it in early April after finally being transferred for

treatment. “Today, we welcome home Trevor Reed and celebrate his return to the family that missed him dearly,” President Joe Biden said in a statement. “Trevor, a former U.S. Marine, is free from Russian detention. I heard in the voices of Trevor’s parents how much they’ve worried about his health and missed his presence. And I was delighted to be able to share with them the good news about Trevor’s freedom.” In exchange, the U.S. has freed Konstantin Yaroshenko, a Russian pilot serving a 20-year federal prison sentence in Connecticut for conspiracy to smuggle cocaine into the U.S, according to Russia’s Foreign Ministry. The White House has not confirmed Yaroshenko’s release but the Bureau of Prisons website has him listed as “not in custody.” “The negotiations that allowed us to bring Trevor home required difficult decisions that I do not take lightly,” Biden said. “His safe return is a testament to the priority my Administration places on bringing home Americans held hostage and wrongfully detained abroad. We won’t stop until Paul Whelan and others

join Trevor in the loving arms of family and friends.” Last month, Reed’s parents, Joey and Paula Reed, protested outside the White House until Biden finally met with them. “During their meeting, the president reiterated his commitment to continue to work to secure the release of Trevor, Paul Whelan and other Americans wrongfully held in Russia and elsewhere, and to provide all possible assistance until they and others are free and returned home to their families who are advocating so passionately for their release,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement at the time. Whelan, a Canadian-born American resident and former Marine and police officer, was handed a 16-year prison sentence with the possibility of time in a labor camp in 2020 after being convicted of spying. WNBA star Brittney Griner also remains behind bars in Russia after hashish oil was allegedly found in her luggage at a Moscow airport. C)2022 New York Daily News. Visit at nydailynews.com.

could have national implications as both Republicans and Democrats seek control of Congress in this year’s midterm elections. Republicans celebrated the decision “The decision today from the Court of Appeals affirms our position that under OneParty Rule, Albany politicians engaged in obvious partisan gerrymandering, violating the State Constitution,” Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt, R-Lockport, said in a statement. “Despite a clear directive from the voters of New York, Albany’s ruling class decided to put their political survival ahead of the will of the people.”

Dear Worthy Editor… CATSKILL – Thus began letters from immigrants newly arrived in America to The Jewish Daily Forward for more than 60 years. Each writer was asking for help – whether trying to understand the habits of Americans, the complex legal system or the emotional pitfalls of dealing with employers, these newcomers couldn’t cope on their own. They turned to Abe Cahan, a founder of the paper and ‘Dear Abby’ to his readers. “Dear Worthy Editor,” a 1909 letter begins, “…I am one of [a] group that is in favor of giving women full rights, and most of the others are against it…. Must the woman … be considered a slave and the man the master?” Cohen replied, “Justice can reign among all kinds of people only when they all have equal rights. If one has more power than the others, it leads to injustice.” Another query wasn’t quite so political. Five Russian immigrant sons, all successful business men, speak English at home and at work. Their parents, however, insist on speaking Yiddish. “They want to keep

Whether arriving on American shores in 1910 or 2010, immigrants have the same misunderstandings, fears and frustrations. Trying to assimilate remains a constant. A Bintel Brief, the stage adaptation of letters to the Editor of The Jewish Daily Forward, recounts the eternal struggle to understand how to become an American. The production will take place at Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill on May 14th and 15th. For more information, go to https://bridgest.org/.

their old ways,” say the sons.

“What is right?” Cohen replies,

“It would certainly not be wrong if the parents were also to speak English to the children. People should and must learn the language of their country.” A Bintel Brief, translated as ‘a bunch of letters’, will be performed at The Bridge Street Theatre, on Saturday, May 14th at 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 15th at 2 p.m.. The staged reading with live music is directed by Carol Rusoff and is presented by Temple Israel of Catskill in partnership with the Bridge Street Theatre. There is no fee for tickets, but donations are appreciated. Reservations may be made by e-mailing: juliegoldweitz@ gmail.com. Current protocols require proof of vaccination and photo ID at the time of admittance. Bridge Street Theatre is located at 44 West Bridge Street in Catskill. The project is supported by a grant from the WassermanStreit Y’DIYAH Memorial Fund through the Berkshire Taconic Foundation, Temple Israel of Catskill (www.templeisraelofcatskill.org) and Bridge Street Theatre (www.bridgest.org).

Fever-pitch brutality in a blood-red epic By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

For the first few moments, “The Northman” looks and sounds like a classic Shakespeare outline. It’s a brooding Viking thriller unlike anything other filmmakers are doing. We move through an Icelandic kingdom in 895 A.D. A boy prince named Amleth (Oscar Novak) sees his beloved father, King Auverndil (Ethan Hawke), murdered by jealous half-brother Fjolnir (Claes Bang), who marries Queen Gudrun (Nicole Kidman). Amleth grows up to be a strapping, battle-honed berserker (Alexander Skarsgard) determined to return to Iceland and get revenge. The director is Robert Eggers, who spiced the mysticism of “The Witch” with stark terror and soaked “The Lighthouse” in an enigmatic Bergmanesque mood. His main task in “The Northman” is to show loyalty to “Hamlet,” a sacred and fertile source, to be furnished and burnished anew. The story stands much as it was, with most of the familiar characters reshaped by Eggers. Amleth smuggles his way aboard a slave ship bound for Iceland and meets Olga (Anya

Taylor-Joy), a mysterious beauty. Once back in Iceland, Amleth, armed with a magic sword (traces of the Arthurian legend can be found here as well), torments Fjolnir with grief and murder until they meet in a duel on an erupting volcano, clashing broadswords against a backdrop of boiling lava. So what’s new under Eggers’s gray, overcast sun? Well, “The Northman” is a muddy, savage bloodbath that not even Shakespeare could conceive. It’s set in a world of unrelenting physical and

environmental cruelty dominated by the morbid symbolism of ravens and sorcery about fate and religious beliefs. The central conflict between paganism and Christianity is integrated into the action, ranking as the movie’s most interesting subtext. Where Hamlet’s father-king was a sagely old gentleman, Auverndil is a vigorous warrior who bonds with young Amleth by visiting the local shaman and, following his instruction, strip, don makeup and leap around a cave on all fours howling like wolves.

Halfway into the movie, the pace sags and the plot descends into hokum as Amleth and Olga fall in love in scenes with a distinct 21st-century feeling. But what energizes the picture is the eye-popping, frighteningly realistic portrayal of a grotesque and violent world that looks totally alien. Eggers sweeps his camera through a village as Amleth prowls the frame’s foreground slaughtering horsemen and foot soldiers as his band of marauders do the same in the background, all shown in vivid deep focus. Eggers always fills the screen with details and the visual style by his gifted cinematographer Jarin Blaschke is a gorgeously weird blend of black-and-white and color. The narrative strategy here is to ensure that no one is surprised by the surprises. The characters accept sorcery and wickedness and blood-andguts horror as part of the natural order of things. With help from the meticulous production design and a brooding musical score, the actors are at the top of their game and play this story for all it’s worth. That’s why the peaceful, beautiful finale of “The Northman” is no shock at all.

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.

and share memories and love. Ray and Claudia Bracaliello have just returned from NOLA (New Orleans, LA) where they had a reunion with two other couples they had met when the three men were serving

in the Air Force at Robbins AF Base, during the Vietnam War. They spent two days at the WWII Museum, saying “which should not be missed by anyone! Put it on your bucket list! I will tell you 2 days is not

enough, and they are building more as we speak.” They had a super time catching up, laughing and eating fantastic food. As well as checking out what they could of the museum in a limited time. They spent one day taking a tour of the city in a van, with a wonderful guide. This was a bit limited by the fact that the streets in the French Quarter were closed because of a festival, but they certainly saw a lot and could hear some of the jazz. There is so much more to see and do in NOLA. Claudia said they have to go back. It was great weather, relatively cool, only in the 70s at first (but this was when it was snowing at home in upstate New York) but it did get up to the 80s the last 3 days, but with minimal humidity, thankfully. There were beautiful flowers everywhere, and nice to come back

to buds and greenery. Want to travel with Claudia and Ray or follow in their footsteps. Six members of the American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327 met at the Gurleys for a total of three hours of laughter, gossip — oops — relating of information, snacks in the form of cookies and work on attaching poppies to cans for distribution and raffle tickets assembly. Poppies will be available in May 2022 in our area. Proceeds will be for the benefit of veterans in need in all phases of their lives. Please help and wear a poppy with pride and gratitude. The dedicated ladies were Pat Minew, Mary Cline, Nancy Orr, Nancy Kizyma, Marianne Krauss and Ginny Gurley. Congratulations to Kaitlyn Cross-Greco on her upcoming graduation from Briggs & Stratton, making the dean’s

list. The graduation will take place in Buffalo, B & S home campus.

Today’s Profile: Stella Thorpe of the Traveler’s Rest By Dede Terns Thorpe For Columbia-Greene Media

I found an excellent article written in 1956; it would be grand if more of these “Today’s Profiles” were available. This one shares some history about Stella Thorpe, a life-long resident of Haines Falls. (If there are any known articles or stories available, I’d love to receive a copy. My contacts are Hunterhistorian@gmail.com, 518-589-4130, or PO box 316 Haines Falls 12436. Thank you.) For those not around 70 years ago, Traveler’s Rest was a busy little restaurant on the corner of 23A and Cabbage Patch Rd. in Haines Falls. The building remains standing. Stella Thorpe found her nitch in life at the age of 43. After four years of waitressing at the Traveler’s Rest, Stella was able, in 1953, to purchase it. Eddy Hoyt and Earle Schoonmaker had bought the Whitaker family’s little restaurant and gas station with their mustering money from World War Two. Hoyt eventually bought Earle out, and a few years later, Stella bought it. By 1953 Stella’s three sons were mainly grown; Charlie was 22, Ed was 16 and Billy was 10. Stella’s husband, Donald, was busy working as a local builder and carpenter. Stella Greene was born in what was known locally as the

Layman House, directly across the road from the Traveler’s Rest. Her father was Clarence Greene, well-known as the engineer of the narrow-gauge Huckleberry Railroad, and her mother, Eileen Layman Greene. Her father died in 1936 when Stella was just 30 years old. Her mother, Eileen (always known as Greenie), remained in Haines Falls with Stella’s sister, Marion Greene Furgason, widow of Orville Furgason. Stella worked 11 summers as a clerk at the Haines Falls post office under postmasters James Layman, Herbert O’Hara

and Walter Lowerre. She also worked at Mary Van Gorden’s gift shop and Mrs. William Hallenbeck’dress shop, both in Haines Falls and Catskill. Stella said the Traveler’s Rest did well; the locals were loyal, and visitors were a bonus. She liked being in business; it allowed her to meet new people. Stella was happy that it continued to be the community social center initiated by Hoyt and Schoonmaker. The writer said it was a pleasant, relaxed restaurant, with Stella as the hostess and her sister, Marian, helping out wherever she

could. The article noted how a German refugee summer customer taught kids how to play Chess and Checkers but taught it in German. Stella said, “the place used to resound to cries for “Check,” the German for “Check.” (Possibly, Stella talked about the 11-time author, Mr. Eric Posselt). Lacking time, preventing Stella from the essential organizations she believed in, was Stella’s only regret in owning a business. The unknown writer of “Today’s Profile” completed the article with, “In person, Mrs. Thorpe

is five feet, five inches tall, weighs 150 pounds, with hair, once brown, now an attractive shade of gray. She is not talkative, but that’s not necessary. She smiles.” Stella Thorpe was elected Town Clerk of Hunter in approximately 1964. She felt fortunate that she could complete the job during quiet times at the restaurant. (Her son, Ed, said, “If Mom were here today, she’d share that her son, Charlie, did most of the town paperwork!”) Sadly, Stella’s life changed in 1966; while working at her desk, an elderly relative suffering from

dementia went into Traveler’s Rest with his rifle. Before Stella knew what was happening, he shot her through her back, near her shoulder, and blew it apart. She spent an unknown but lengthy time on a Bird Respirator in the Catskill Hospital. After Dr. Wax told the boys that their mom most likely would not make it, she pulled through, but with some significant changes. One big difference was giving up the town clerk position, which she couldn’t do for many months.

Everything you need to know about the 2022 NFL draft Matt Bonesteel The Washington Post

After months of scouting, NFL teams will have their pick of the nation’s top young football talent at this week’s NFL draft. Here’s everything you need to know. When is the NFL draft? The NFL draft will take place Thursday through Saturday. The first round is Thursday, rounds 2-3 are Friday and rounds 4-7 are Saturday. Where is the NFL draft? This year’s NFL draft will be held at Caesars Forum, a convention center in Las Vegas. How can I watch the NFL draft? The NFL draft will be televised by ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes and NFL Network and streamed via the NFL and ESPN apps. Thursday (round 1): 8 p.m. Eastern (ABC, ESPN, ESPN Deportes, NFL Network) Friday (rounds 2-3): 7 p.m. Eastern (ABC, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, NFL Network) Saturday (rounds 4-7): noon eastern (ABC, ESPN, ESPN Deportes, NFL Network) Who are some of the top prospects? Aidan Hutchinson, edge, Michigan Hutchinson won the Lombardi Award (best lineman or linebacker) and Ted Hendricks Award (best defensive end) while finishing second in Heisman Trophy voting last season as a senior for the Wolverines, setting the team’s singleseason record for sacks (14). Travon Walker, DL, Georgia Walker is seen as an athletic freak with some rough edges but tremendous upside. He had only 9.5 sacks over three seasons with the Bulldogs but has shot up draft boards after putting up some impressive numbers at the NFL combine. Kayvon Thibodeaux, edge, Oregon Thibodeaux had 19 sacks and 35 tackles for a loss in three seasons, including nine in his true freshman season after a standout prep career in Southern California. (He stood 6-foot-3 in sixth grade.) Ikem Ekwonu, T, North Carolina State Ekwonu is known mainly by his nickname “Ickey,” which was bestowed upon him by a former coach who said he resembled former Cincinnati Bengals running back Ickey Woods. He won last year’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which is given to the ACC’s best blocker. Evan Neal, T, Alabama Neal started all 41 games over his three seasons with the Crimson Tide, helping Alabama win the 2020-21 College Football Playoff title. He has played significant time at left and right tackle. Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State Wilson is probably the

most highly regarded offensive skill-position player in the draft after his 12-touchdown performance for the Buckeyes last season. He also returns punts. Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, CB, Cincinnati Gardner was given his nickname at age 6, when a youth coach noted his affinity for fast-food dipping sauces. With the Bearcats, he did not allow a receiving touchdown in his three seasons. Who are the firstround quarterback prospects? The past four No. 1 picks have been quarterbacks, but this year’s draft is not seen as a strong one in terms of signal-callers. Here are the quarterbacks who could be taken in the first round. Malik Willis, Liberty The Auburn transfer threw 47 touchdown passes and ran for 27 more scores in two years as Liberty’s starting quarterback. Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh Pickett finished third in Heisman Trophy voting after leading the Panthers to their first 11-win season since 1981. Matt Corral, Mississippi Corral was seventh in the Heisman voting, throwing 20 touchdown passes and rushing for 11 in leading the Rebels to a 10-3 record. Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati Ridder started nearly every game of his fouryear college career and set program records with 87 touchdown passes and 12,418 yards of total offense. Who were the recent No. 1 draft picks? 2021: Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars Lawrence struggled while playing for a fully dysfunctional team in his rookie season, throwing a league-high 17 interceptions. 2020: Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals Burrow bounced back from an injury-shortened rookie season to lead the Bengals to the Super Bowl in 2021. 2019: Kyler Murray, QB, Arizona Cardinals Murray was the 2019 offensive rookie of the year and has twice made the Pro Bowl, but the Cardinals have made the playoffs only once in his three seasons as starter. 2018: Baker Mayfield, QB, Cleveland Browns In 2020, Mayfield helped the Browns to their first playoff appearance in 18 years, but he seemingly has been replaced by Deshaun Watson and probably will be elsewhere next season. 2017: Myles Garrett, DE, Cleveland Browns Garrett twice has been named first-team all-pro and was third in the NFL in sacks last season. Has the same team ever had the No. 1 pick two See NFL B6

Simmons a no-show for Nets while Embiid plays through pain for Sixers YONG KIM/PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Sixers center Joel Embiid gets the ball knocked out of his hands by Toronto Raptor’s Pascal Siakam (left) and Gary Trent Jr. during Game 4 on their NBA Playoff series.

Marcus Hayes The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — The symmetry could not have been purer. The contrast could not have been starker. On a night when the fate of their 2022 seasons might be told, Joel Embiid, in Philadelphia, went to work. Ben

Simmons, in Brooklyn, did not. One showed the heart of a lion. The other, the soul of a rat. At 7:16 p.m. Monday, Embiid emerged from the locker room, the last Sixer to go through his warmup routine, his right thumb stabilized with black athletic tape. He winced when he pounded dribbles

into the floor, winced again and shook the hand when he took his first shot, but he got ready, and he played. He scored 20 points and snagged 11 rebounds, but he didn’t look hurt. He looked lethargic, and afterward he admitted that “I’m not See SIMMONS B6

Celtics earn themselves some time

Mark Murphy Boston Herald

Even as they relish this chance to stare back at all the so-called doubters, the Celtics suddenly have a short-term — let’s call it luxurious — dilemma. The biggest benefit of their four-game sweep of Brooklyn is time. They play the winner of Wednesday night’s game between the Bucks and Bulls; Milwaukee holds a 3-1 series edge. Let’s just say that 75% of the prep work deals with Milwaukee at this stage. From everyone’s assorted aches to Rob Williams’ need to shake off some obvious rust, it will be time well spent. “It’s huge. Obviously more time for Rob,” said Jayson Tatum. “And then myself, everybody, this was a very taxing four games. It took everything on both ends of the floor. So getting these five or six days off are going to be very beneficial for everybody.” It was the third lowest collective margin of victory (14 points) by the winning team in a playoff sweep in NBA history. But by playing for the second seed, and asking for the first-round matchup no one else wanted, the Celtics have actually made themselves stronger. But don’t call them the best.

Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum reacts after he is called for a foul in the first half against the Brooklyn Nets in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series at Barclays Center on Monday.

Marcus Smart doesn’t want to reach that goal until the very end.

“I definitely have seen the other series and, for me, I think that we are not the best

team,” said the Celtics point guard. “We still have some ways to go. We still have work. And, you know, we don’t really get too high on the highs nor too low on the lows. “So when I watch the game films, I’m watching it for we’re not the best team, you know, and we have to play like that. We have to have that mentality that we’re not the best team, because once you get that mentality that we’re not the best team, you start to get complacent and things start to kick in and bad habits, and we don’t want that.” As evidenced by their lategame execution against a fourth-quarter Nets comeback -- Kevin Durant, unlike some others, played like he wanted to force a Game 5 in Boston -may have finally broken most of those well-publicized “bad habits.” “One game at a time. That’s all really my mindset is focused on,” said Jaylen Brown. “One game at a time, can’t get ahead of yourself. We’ve been here before. We’ve got a lot of guys that’s had some runs in the playoffs, so we know how things can change, Tremendously. At this point in time, we all know experience, depth and adjustments at this time of year. That’s what it all See CELTICS B6

Infamous ‘Yankee Letter’ finally published Dennis Young New York Daily News

NEW YORK — After years of legal wrangling, the infamous Yankee Letter from Rob Manfred to Brian Cashman is now public, with a few redactions. Much of the text of the letter was published by SNY on Tuesday, after the Yankees lost a court ruling aiming to keep it sealed. It was set to be released later this week. Most of the information in the letter has been widely reported since Manfred wrote it in 2017: The Yankees illegally used a phone to transmit information about signs from the replay room to the dugout in 2015 and 2016. (The replay phone is only supposed to be used to discuss challenging calls.) In a lengthy statement, the Yankees took pains to say they were never punished for anything but the phone violation, and that sign stealing enforcement only really started in September 2017.

Anthony Rizzo hit three homers for the first time in his career as the New York Yankees recorded a 12-8 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. Rizzo’s first multi-homer game as a Yankee gave him sole possession of the major league lead, with eight homers. It was New York’s first three-homer game since Kyle Higashioka went deep three times against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sept. 16, 2020. Aaron Judge homered on his 30th birthday and Joey Gallo also went deep as the Yankees won their fourth straight and sixth in seven games. Luis Severino (2-0) allowed four runs on three hits in a season-high sixplus innings. He retired the first 14 hitters and took a no-hit bid into the sixth. Austin Hayes and Anthony Santander each hit a three-run homer for Baltimore. Giants 8, Athletics 2 Wilmer Flores and Austin Slater backed the nine-strikeout pitching of Carlos Rodon with three-run home runs, sending San Francisco to its fifth straight win, this one over visiting Oakland. Rodon (3-0) continued his strikeout assault by fanning eight or more for the fourth straight start. The first-year Giant held the A’s to one run on three hits and two walks in six innings. Flores hit an RBI double in a two-run second inning and then added his second home run of the season, a three-run blast in the third after Oakland had pulled within 2-1. A’s starter Daulton Jefferies (1-3) was pulled after four innings, having allowed five runs and four hits. He walked two and struck out three. Diamondbacks 5, Dodgers 3 David Peralta hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning and Arizona beat Los Angeles. Five Arizona relievers combined to hold the Dodgers scoreless over the final five innings, with Ian Kennedy (1-1) getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning to earn the victory and Mark Melancon pitching a scoreless ninth inning for his third save. Will Smith had an early threerun double for the Dodgers and Trea Turner had a hit and two walks to extend his on-base streak to 36 games. Astros 5, Rangers 1 Jake Odorizzi retired the final 12 batters he faced in an exceptional start as Houston beat Texas in Arlington. Odorizzi (1-2), who had recorded just two outs in his previous start, logged six strong innings, allowing one hit and one walk while notching four strikeouts. Kyle Tucker homered and drove in three runs, and Alex Bregman scored twice for Houston, which had lost five of six. Texas center fielder Adolis Garcia recorded the lone hit against Odorizzi by smacking a 2-2 slider over the wall in left field to knot the game at 1-1 in the second inning. It was the eighth homer in 19 games for Garcia against the Astros. Mets 3, Cardinals 0 Chris Bassitt and three relievers blanked host St. Louis on three hits as New York clinched a sixth straight series victory opening the season, setting a team record. Bassitt (3-1) held the Cardinals to two hits in six innings, striking out six. Starling Marte

drove in two runs as the Mets won for the 11th time in 14 games. The Cardinals lost their third straight game and have scored just 14 runs in their last seven games. Twins 5, Tigers 4 Miguel Sano ripped a single into right field with two runners on base in the bottom of the ninth inning, and a throwing error moments later allowed host Minnesota to prevail over Detroit. Max Kepler went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBIs to lead the Twins at the plate. Urshela added a pair of hits as Minnesota won its season-high fifth game in a row. Javier Baez went 2-for-3 with a double, a homer and four RBIs for the Tigers, who dropped their third straight game. Braves 3, Cubs 1 Left-hander Max Fried pitched six strong innings and continued his dominance over Chicago as host Atlanta ended a two-game losing streak and sent the Cubs to a sixth loss in seven games. Travis Demeritte hit a tiebreaking homer for the Braves in the fifth inning, and Ozzie Albies had two of Atlanta’s six hits. Fried (2-2) allowed one run on four hits and four strikeouts and improved his career mark to 4-0 with a 1.57 ERA against the Cubs. Chicago’s Ian Happ hit a solo homer, his second in two games. It was the first home run allowed by Fried this season and ended his stretch of 47 consecutive homerless innings. Phillies 10, Rockies 3 Odubel Herrera homered, doubled, drove in three runs and scored twice to lift host Philadelphia past Colorado. Bryce Harper added two hits and Didi Gregorius had two hits and scored three times for the Phillies, who won their second blowout in a row over the Rockies. Zach Eflin (1-1) allowed two hits and one run in six innings. Charlie Blackmon ripped two solo homers and C.J. Cron had two hits for the Rockies, who have lost two straight to the Phillies by a combined 18-5 score. Jose Iglesias also recorded two hits and an RBI and Ryan McMahon walked three times. German Marquez (0-1) lasted just 3 2/3 innings and allowed seven hits and seven runs, four earned. Mariners 8, Rays 4

Adam Frazier doubled in three runs during an error-filled, seven-run fourth inning and visiting Seattle opened a threegame series against Tampa Bay with a win in St. Petersburg, Fla. Ty France drove in two runs for Seattle, which won for the ninth time in its last 11 games. France has 15 RBIs over his last eight games. Logan Gilbert (30) allowed two hits over 5 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out seven and walking three. He has allowed one earned run over his first four starts, covering 22 1/3 innings. Tampa Bay catcher Rene Pinto recorded his first major league hit with a two-run homer in the seventh and Wander Franco also hit a two-run blast. Padres 9, Reds 6 Eric Hosmer homered and Jake Cronenworth tripled in three runs during an eight-run fourth inning as visiting San Diego beat Cincinnati for the 10th time in the past 11 games. Joe Musgrove (3-0) allowed five runs – only two earned – over six solid innings for the Padres, who won the opener of the three-game series and have won all four meetings this season by a combined 25-9 score. Nick Senzel had two hits and scored twice for the Reds, who dropped their 12th game in 13 tries after snapping their 11-game losing skid on Sunday against St. Louis. Brewers 12, Pirates 8 Willy Adames homered twice, doubled, singled and drove in a career-high seven runs as visiting Milwaukee opened a threegame series with a win over Pittsburgh. Adames’ two-homer game was the first of his career, while the seven RBIs were three more than he had ever recorded previously. He had gone just 1-for11 against the Pirates last week. Kolten Wong scored three times after two singles and a walk. Ke’Bryan Hayes went 3-for-3 and scored twice for the Pirates, and Daniel Vogelbach and Kevin Newman each collected a pair of hits and scored once. Angels 4, Guardians 1 Patrick Sandoval threw seven scoreless innings and Mike Trout homered, doubled and drove in three as Los Angeles beat Cleveland in Anaheim, Calif. Sandoval (1-0) struck out nine, walked one and gave up

just two hits – both singles. The Angels lost the shutout in the ninth inning on Jose Ramirez’s RBI double, ending a streak of 17 scoreless innings by the Guardians’ offense in the series. Angels closer Raisel Iglesias entered the game with one on and one out in the ninth and struck out the next two batters for his fourth save. Marlins 5, Nationals 2 Joey Wendle slugged a threerun homer on his 32nd birthday and Sandy Alcantara pitched a gem as Miami won at Washington. Alcantara (2-0) allowed just one run in six innings, striking out five. Anthony Bender pitched a scoreless ninth for his third save. The Marlins, who have won three straight games, also threw out two Nationals at the plate. Washington’s Josiah Gray (2-2) matched his career high by whiffing 10 batters in 5 2/3 innings. He allowed seven hits – including Wendle’s homer – three walks and four runs. Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 5 (10 innings) Raimel Tapia hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and Toronto defeated visiting Boston. The Red Sox took a 5-2 lead with four runs in the eighth but fell for the second consecutive game to open a four-game series. Toronto tied the game in the ninth against Jake Diekman. After Tapia and Santiago Espinal hit doubles, George Springer leveled the score with a two-out, two-run homer. Jordan Romano (1-1) retired his three batters in the 10th, stranding the designated runner at third. Royals 6, White Sox 0 Carlos Santana’s two-run single keyed a four-run sixth inning as Kansas City snapped a fourgame losing streak with a victory in Chicago. The White Sox took their eighth straight loss due in part to issuing 11 walks. Daniel Lynch (2-1) allowed two hits in six innings for the win. Taylor Clarke threw one inning and Brady Singer handled the last two to complete a fivehit shutout. Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi left in the sixth inning with left knee discomfort. Chicago starter Dallas Keuchel (1-2) gave up two unearned runs on two hits in fourplus innings.

NBA roundup: Heat KO Hawks in Game 5 Field Level Media

Victor Oladipo scored 23 points and Bam Adebayo posted 20 points and made a key defensive play as Miami Heat held off the visiting Atlanta Hawks 97-94 for a series-clinching victory in Game 5 of a first-round Eastern Conference playoff series. The Hawks had a couple of chances to pull even in the final 30 seconds, but a missed shot came before a gameending steal by Adebayo. Miami will be

off until opening the conference semifinals Monday night against the Philadelphia 76ers or the Toronto Raptors. Tyler Herro had 16 points and Max Strus finished with 15 for the Heat, who played without Jimmy Butler (knee) and, for the second game in a row, Kyle Lowry (hamstring).

Grizzlies 111, Timberwolves 109 Ja Morant scored 18 of his gamehigh 30 points in the fourth quarter, including a tiebreaking layup in the final second, and host Memphis took a 3-2 lead in its first-round Western Conference playoff series against Minnesota.

the Grizzlies’ final 11 points. Morant also contributed 13 rebounds, nine assists and three steals while teammate Desmond Bane scored 25 points and blocked three shots. Karl-Anthony Towns finished with team highs of 28 points and 12 rebounds for Minnesota, which will try to stave off elimination on Friday in Minneapolis. Suns 112, Pelicans 97

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Oscar De La Hoya is back on the defensive following latest sex scandal Dylan Hernandez Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Oscar De La Hoya nodded as he was asked about the sexual assault allegations made against him last week. “Look, I’m here,” he said. “I have nothing to hide.” The former boxing champion removed his sunglasses, revealing stitches on his lower eyelids from a recent cosmetic procedure. “I actually just got surgery, so, as you know, I should be staying at home,” De La Hoya said. “But I have to keep young for my girlfriend.” He joked that his girlfriend is fond of Gilberto Ramirez, the handsome light-heavyweight contender whose upcoming fight he is promoting. De La Hoya returned to the subject of the question. “But I can’t comment on it now,” he said. What a dark turn this fairy tale has taken. De La Hoya was the Golden Boy, his story the East L.A. version of the American

Yankee From B1

“As the facts of the letters again show, the Yankees were not penalized for sign stealing but were penalized for improper use of the telephone,” the team said. “At that point in time, sign stealing was utilized as a competitive tool by numerous teams ... and only became illegal after the Commissioner’s specific delineation of the rules on September 15, 2017.” MLB said as much. “The Yankees did not violate MLB’s rules at the time governing sign stealing,” the league said in a statement. “At that time, use of the replay room

Dream. He was positioned to be a Mexican American Magic Johnson, a beloved Los Angeles athlete who in retirement became a respected entrepreneur. Instead, at 49, De La Hoya is a spectacle. He became the subject of another scandal last week when he was accused of two instances of sexual assault in a countersuit filed by a woman against him and his tequila company. The company, Casa Mexico, filed a civil lawsuit in December against the woman and another former executive, accusing them of breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract. De La Hoya denied the sexual assault allegations in a statement released by his boxing promotions company. This column isn’t the place to litigate the accusations made by either side. The courts will decide who did what. However, what’s beyond

dispute is how De La Hoya’s out-of-the-ring reputation has been shaped by a series of scandals. De La Hoya was accused of raping a 15-year-old girl in a Cabo San Lucas hotel room in 1996. The resulting lawsuit was settled out of court. A San Bernardino woman filed a lawsuit against him in 2019, claiming he sexually

to decode signs was not expressly prohibited as long as the information was not communicated electronically to the dugout ... MLB clarified the rules regarding the use of electronic equipment on September 15, 2017.” Unmentioned in both statements is what happened after Sept. 15, 2017: The Astros kept cheating and won a World Series. Daily fantasy bettors had sued after the Astros scandal, claiming they were cheated out of winnings. The suit was dismissed in 2020, but the battle over the letter continued for two more years. Was it worth the lengthy court fight the Yankees put up to keep it sealed? You judge for yourself:

“During our investigation into the Red Sox’s misconduct, Redacted3/8 informed the Department of Investigations that the Yankees used a similar scheme to that of the Red Sox to decode opposing Clubs’ signs and relay them to the batter when a runner was on second base. Redacted3/8 -- who initially noticed that the Red Sox were using a smartwatch to pass information to their players -- admitted to the Department of Investigations that during the 2015 season and the first half of the 2016 season, Redacted3/8, provided information about opposing Club’s signs to players and members of the coaching staff in the replay room at Yankee Stadium, who then physically relayed the information to

assaulted her two years earlier. The case was dismissed in 2020; the court docket didn’t indicate whether a settlement was reached. De La Hoya was arrested in 2017 for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. De La Hoya failed field sobriety tests but the charges were later dropped. His problems with drugs

and alcohol are well documented. He has still enjoyed a measure of success in the boardroom. His decision as an active fighter to break with promoter Bob Arum and take greater control of his career became a roadmap followed by the likes of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Canelo Alvarez. He purchased a controlling share of a downtown Los Angeles office building in which his promotions company is headquartered. But these achievements have been overshadowed by the image of De La Hoya as dysfunctional, someone with credibility problems who will say whatever he has to to charm his audience. Which is a shame, considering the opportunity that was presented to him. De La Hoya was in the right place at the right time. By the time he won an Olympic gold medal in 1992, Fernando Valenzuela’s fans were having children. These children were multicultural and often multilingual. They saw a part

of themselves in De La Hoya. Good-looking, well-spoken and nonthreatening on the surface, De La Hoya also was accepted by white people in a way that, say, Fernando Vargas never could be. De La Hoya had a chance to be more than a fighter, and for a while, he was. He could have been an enduring source of pride for a once-marginalized community, a symbol of success in multiple fields. Now, at best, he’s someone who is viewed with pity; at worst, with derision. Maybe there’s something in him that’s broken and can’t be fixed. He spoke in the fall about how he was sexually abused, how he lost his virginity to a woman in her late 30s when he was 13. De La Hoya won’t end up like Los Angeles boxing legends of previous eras, such as Mando Ramos and Bobby Chacon. His wealth protects him from that kind of tragedy. But De La Hoya isn’t Magic Johnson, either. His tragedy is of another variety.

the Yankees’ dugout. Redacted3/8 also admitted that during that same time period, in certain stadiums on the road where the video room was not proximate to the dugout, used the phone line in the replay room to orally provide realtime information about opposing Club’s signs to Yankee coaches on the bench. “The Yankees’ use of the dugout phone to relay information about an opposing Club’s signs during the 2015 season, and part of the 2016 season, constitutes a material violation of the Replay Review Regulations. By using the phone in the video review room to instantaneously transmit information regarding signs to the dugout in violation of the Regulations, the Yankees were able to provide real-time information to their players regarding an opposing Club’s sign sequence

-- the same objective of the Red Sox’s scheme that was the subject of the Yankees’ complaint.” -- SNY reporting of Rob Manfred’s letter to Brian Cashman. The Yankees illegally used a phone to pass catcher’s signs to runners on second base in 2015 and 2016. That sounds bad, and the Yankees spent years paying expensive lawyers to argue that releasing the letter would cause the team “significant and irreparable reputational harm.” Cashman, for his part, has nursed an intense grudge against the Astros for years. His gripes that the Yankees would have made the World Series if not for Houston’s cheating strongly imply that he feels that the Yankees, unlike the Astros, were not engaged in an illegal sign-stealing scheme. The letter, then, is just another reminder of what’s been

known all along: The Yankees were engaged in gray-area cheating, but nothing as brazen (doing it after 2017) or creative (the trash can banging) as what the Astros were up to. With how much was already known about the Yankees’ replay room shenanigans, it’s hard to see how the letter, which contains very little new information, causes “irreparable harm” to the Yankees. And indeed, SNY reported Tuesday that “some of the team’s baseball operations employees” felt like the irreparable harm argument “overstated their actual deeds.” Either way, the argument didn’t fly in a court of law, maybe because it was really making the case that releasing it would be violating one of baseball’s unwritten rules: Everyone has to act like the Astros were not just the biggest, baddest cheaters, but the only ones.

Mark Emmert will step down as NCAA president by June 2023 Chuck Culpepper The Washington Post

Longtime NCAA president Mark Emmert will step down sometime between now and the end of June 2023, the college athletics organization announced Tuesday, closing a run of more than a decade at the helm and utmost turbulence. Emmert, the 69-year-old former provost and administrator at Montana State and Connecticut, as well as the former chancellor at LSU and

playing freely,” which is entirely understandable. The Sixers lost to the Raptors, 103-88, and Embiid could have played freer. At least he played. Ben Simmons didn’t even show up. He wasn’t on the Nets’ bench. They lost too, and they were swept out of the playoffs by the Celtics, and Simmons contributed nothing but distraction. Win or lose, this has been Joel Embiid’s Willis Reed moment. Embiid played in Game 5 on Monday with a torn ligament in his thumb for the second full game, after injuring it in Game 3. It will require surgery to repair and heal, and the surgery will be more complicated the longer he waits, but this is the time of year when players prove their worth. Monday was a close-out game for the 76ers, who led the

president at Washington, has held the NCAA’s top post since Oct. 1, 2010, as its eighth leader, his tenure second in duration to that of Walter Byers, who led from 1951 to 1988. He helped lure football coach Nick Saban from the Big Ten (Michigan State) to the SEC (LSU), where Saban would become a historic presence especially in a second SEC stop at Alabama. Emmert ends as a controversial figure in a time of roiling changes and existential

questions for the NCAA, with many loud voices having decried an extension of his contract enacted in spring 2021. “With the significant transitions underway within college sports,” board of governors chair John J. DeGioia, the Georgetown University president, said in an NCAA statement, “the timing of this decision provides the Association with consistent leadership during the coming months plus the opportunity to

consider what will be the future role of the president. It also allows for the selection and recruitment of the next president without disruption.” Whenever a successor is named, it will end a tenure that began with Emmert advocating and implementing greater representation for college athletes, and has wound down with breakneck changes such as the name, image and licensing (NIL) capability of those athletes, structural changes in the NCAA and

even the question of its relevance going forward. “Throughout my tenure, I’ve emphasized the need to focus on the experience and priorities of student-athletes,” Emmert said in the NCAA statement. “I am extremely proud of the work of the Association over the last 12 years and especially pleased with the hard work and dedication of the national office staff here in Indianapolis.”

Raptors, 3-1. This was to be Simmons’ Waterloo. Traded at the February deadline for James Harden, Simmons begged out of a knockout game with his new team. He will never regain the trust or the respect of his coaches, of his fans, or, most importantly, his peers. Simmons, who has claimed back issues for the last three years, was slated to debut Monday in Game No. 87 of this season, but he said Sunday that he woke up with a sore back, so Simmons sat again. It was an elimination game for the Nets. Simmons abandoned two Hall of Fame teammates, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, who had counted on Simmons, a point guard of sorts, to lead their superteam. But Ben Simmons isn’t a leader. He isn’t even a follower. He is ... nothing. Narcissism Inc. Simmons refused to play the first 56 games of the season for the Sixers. He cited mental health issues, but really he was just mad that Embiid and Sixers coach Doc Rivers said he’d

played poorly in the 2021 playoffs. Simmons has since refused to play in the last 29 games for the Nets, including a playin win and the three playoff losses that preceded Monday night’s Game 4. He first said he wasn’t in good enough shape -- outrageous, since he’d had four months to get ready. He then said his back hurt. On Monday, according to ESPN, Simmons and his agent, Rich Paul, met with Nets management to discuss Simmons’ “physical and mental hurdles.” Correction: His alleged physical and mental hurdles. Because, apparently, the Nets aren’t sure exactly where Simmons’ alleged recoveries are: They believe that Simmons has “put in the work” to return. Shaquille O’Neal called Simmons a “punk.” Reggie Miller said Simmons had “ZERO competitive fire emoji3/8.” These guys are analysts, with nothing to lose from Simmons’ absence. Imagine what Simmons’ teammates are

saying. Come on, man His audacity knows no bounds. Not only did he squander 56 games for the Sixers, last week he filed a grievance trying to recoup the $20 million they refused to to pay him -- after he refused to be diagnosed and treated by their doctors. He has trivialized and insulted people who suffer from true mental health issues. He has trivialized and insulted the hardcourt warriors who preceded him and play through all sorts of physical challenges: Kevin McHale playing on a broken foot through the 1987 playoffs, Isiah Thomas’ 43 points and six steals on a broken ankle in Game 6 of the 1988 Finals; and, of course, Willis Reed playing on a torn thigh muscle in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, against Wilt Chamberlain and the Lakers. Embiid, meanwhile, has joined these giants. He’s playing through significant pain. Rivers had the same injury as a player, and he said the pain and instability compromised his passing. Embiid scored 21

points in Game 4 on Saturday but, more significantly, managed just eight rebounds after averaging 13 in the first three games. But Embiid, his thumb taped and numbed, helped his legend grow. Simmons, dressed like a homemade pinata, helped his career die. This seemed exactly the opposite of how these stories would be told three years ago. Growing up In the second round of the 2019 playoffs, we saw Embiid handcuffed by Toronto all series and weeping outside the locker room after a Game 7 loss. He had been stifled for the third year in a row by a sound defensive plan that exposed his poor decision making, his limited repertoire, and his abysmal conditioning. Simmons, on the other hand, had played with enough promise to warrant a five-year, $170 million contract extension. That decision effectively divorced the Sixers from Jimmy Butler, who’d become Embiid’s first mentor.

At the end of the next season, Butler was in the NBA Finals with Miami. Simmons, meanwhile, had left the COVID-19 bubble for elective surgery to remove a “loose body” in his knee -- a decision that Sixers insiders resented at the time and still question to this day. The Celtics swept Embiid and the Sixers in the first round, but Embiid was magnificent, averaging 30 points and 12.8 rebounds even without his All Star teammate. Symmetrically, Embiid played through a torn meniscus in his right knee for all seven games of the second-round series against the Hawks. As the series progressed, Simmons shrank further and further from prominence, until, in the final minutes of Game 7, he refused to dunk. But no moment crystallized the difference between the two men, and how their lives and their legacies have diverged, like Monday night. Embiid took the court like a hero. Simmons was too scared to even come to the gym.

be able to do what we’ve done, it’s part of it. Like I said, you tip your hat off to Ime (Udoka) and this coaching staff for getting us ready. “The mindset is key, coming in, being ready to play

every single game,” he said. “Tonight was a closeout game, which is the hardest thing to win in basketball, especially against guys like that, all the pressure was on us. For us to finish and execute was big.

That’s big for the confidence of our group, big for the mindset. I think that was fantastic.” Their collective youth considered, the Celtics are also one of the most playoff-tested units in the field, with a tough

four-game sweep of the Nets just another round of conditioning. “At this point in time, we all know experience, depth and adjustments at this time of year,” said Smart. “That’s

what it all comes down to - and obviously execution. So for us to be able to do what we’ve done, it’s part of it. Like I said, you tip your hat off to Ime and this coaching staff for getting us ready.”

Widower wonders if age creates boundary for intimacy Dear Abby, My wife of 41 years passed away four years ago. I’m in my mid-60s. I have sought grief counseling to fully process her loss. The counselor has encouraged me to maintain and expand my peer relationships. The counselor has also encouraged dating, which I have tried, DEAR ABBY but no romances have resulted. My wife was diagnosed with bipolar type 2 mental disorder, which progressed the longer she lived. When she died, I was glad she no longer had to suffer with her mental illness. With the onset of menopause and the bipolar, her libido had dropped dramatically. The counselor has assured me that if romance develops, sexual relations can happen with women my age. Because of my religious convictions, I will not have sexual relations before marriage. My question concerns a woman’s desire for sexual relations at this stage of life. Are sexual relations something that can be mutually enjoyed, or just a requirement of marriage? Wondering In Iowa

husband and I agreed. The problem is, the girlfriend is very insecure about her weight. She’s on the heavier side, and my daughter’s weight is average. Sometimes when we’re talking about fitness or nutrition, it feels like a sore subject for her. I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable around us because I watch what I eat. Advice?

Pearls Before Swine

Ask your daughter if mentioning these topics makes her girlfriend uncomfortable. Keep in mind that your houseguest will be staying with you only a few more weeks. Until she leaves, refrain from discussing topics that make her uncomfortable in her presence. Dear Abby, I am 60 and disabled. I desperately would like a dog. I’m not a cat person. I can’t get a bird because I have lupus. Working at a shelter isn’t an option. I added up all the pluses and minuses, and the minuses were more plentiful. HOWEVER, the pluses are SO tempting. Logically, I know it would not be fair to either of us. The wiser part of myself says no, but I want someone who is happy when I come home, kisses me, sits on my lap and shares my bed. And someone to care for. Any advice? Nurturer In New York

Allow me to put your concerns to rest. Seniors are not clones of each other. Some enjoy sex into their 80s; others do not. If both partners are comfortable with their bodies and willing to accommodate the inevitable changes that come as their bodies age, they can enjoy sex as much as couples who are younger. While your religious beliefs may not allow you to have sex before marriage, there is no reason why the subject can’t be honestly discussed, and this is what I urge you to do if you become involved with someone.

Rescue a dog who needs nurturing as much as you do. Adopt an older one from an animal rescue, and you may save two lives at once. That said, it’s important you discuss those pluses and minuses with a veterinarian and take out pet insurance — just in case the need arises.

Dark Side of the Horse

By Stella Wilder Born today, you possess tremendous ambition, but you never let it get the best of you or compel you to do things that one cannot do. Everything you decided to do can be done, it’s that simple; your combination of good oldfashioned common sense and a dreamer’s passion will enable you to do everything you ever hope to do, very likely — and then some. Your physical strengths may be lacking, but your brainpower is likely unmatched by anyone. An early start will almost certainly give way to a career that is both noteworthy and satisfying, but what is most important is that you have someone close to you to share it all with — and in that, you may be the luckiest person you know, for you are likely to find that one perfect someone, which is a boast not everyone can make! Also born on this date are: Jessica Alba, actress; Jay Leno, comedian and late-night host; Penelope Cruz, actress; Ann-Margret, actress; James Monroe, U.S. president; Mary McDonnell, actress. 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 29 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your own native sensitivity will protect you today — which may come as a surprise, since you may have assumed the opposite to be true. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You don’t want to be defined by only one thing you do today, so be sure to attract attention to as many different endeavors as you can. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It may be up to you today to solve a problem that you had noth-

ing to do with causing — but progress in the immediate future is in your hands. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’ll want to avoid anything that seems overly sentimental today. Focus on the way things really are, not the way others tend to see them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your creativity comes to the fore today, and may actually compel you to do something that might otherwise be a thing best avoided at this time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — A friend may have talked you into something that put you where you are, but you should be able to back out of it very easily today. Daily Maze SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You are aware of what others know, and there’s little you can do about changing their minds when it comes to a recent judgment call. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You mustn’t be self-conscious today when trying something new, but neither should you overlook the fact that people are watching you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — An impossibility makes itself known to you today, and this proves disappointing as you realize just what you cannot do. Find an alternative! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Your positive attitude and energetic approach will combine to work in your favor as you dedicate yourself to a problem only you can solve. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You’re not likely to respond to an unusual situation the way anyone else would. Pay attention to small details that catch your eye. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You can prove yourself worthy of another’s admiration today if you do what is asked of you without complaint. You acquit yourself well.

SOUTH ♠QJ2 ♥ Q3 ♦ Q76 ♣ A Q 10 7 3

Today’s deal is from a rubber bridge game and South was delighted with the sight of dummy. There would be 13 easy tricks if the jack of clubs fell doubleton or tripleton. Even if the jack did not fall, 12 tricks would be there as long as the club suit split no worse than 4-2 – a highpercentage chance. South won the opening diamond lead with dummy’s ace, cashed the king of clubs, and led a club to his ace. The club split was a disappointment, but he still had a chance if East held the king of hearts. South crossed to dummy with the king of diamonds and led a low heart to his queen. He was out of chances when that lost to the king and the contract drifted down one. Declarer should have made this slam. Can you spot how, and more importantly, why? After cashing dummy’s king of clubs, South should have led a club to the 10. Not because we can all see the jack sitting in the East hand, but because that play would assure 12 tricks. Even if this play lost an unnecessary trick to the jack of clubs, 12 tricks would be certain. You have to secure 12 tricks before you think about 13.
