Greenville goes remote after mask protest

By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

GREENVILLE — The Greenville Central School District has moved to remote learning for students in grades 6-12 after a group of students refused to comply with the state mask mandate on Tuesday. More than 50 students walked out of Greenville classrooms Monday to protest

the mask mandate from Gov. Kathy Hochul, with students then declining to wear face coverings in school on Tuesday. In a letter sent to parents dated Feb. 15, Greenville Central School District Superintendent Tammy Sutherland said that classes would be held online exclusively See MASK A2

Stephen Kralovich

CAIRO — Cairo was set to confirm potential new town council member Debra Birk-Bogins on Wednesday night after Councilman Stephen Kralovich abruptly resigned over the weekend. Town Supervisor Jason Watts said he received a resignation letter via email from Kralovich on Saturday. The resignation letter said that Kralovich was resigning due to “unforeseen personal circumstances.” Kralovich did not respond to phone messages on Wednesday for comment about his resignation. Watts said the board planned to

accept Kralovich’s resignation during the board’s workshop meeting on Wednesday evening and immediately move to vote on his replacement. The town supervisor said that the four remaining board members had discussed the opening and had decided to nominate Birk-Bogins for the position. “We had a discussion and Debbie Bogins was a candidate in the Republican caucus,” Watts said on Wednesday. “We’re going to talk to her and it looks like it’s going to be a unanimous vote. Everybody is going to vote yes on her being a town councilperson.” If the board approves BirkBogins on Wednesday, she will serve until the end of the year, with

a special election scheduled for November to decide who will serve the remainder of Kralovich’s term, which was scheduled to expire on Dec. 31, 2023. Kralovich was elected to his first term on the board in November 2019 and was sworn in on Jan. 1, 2020. When asked if he was surprised to receive Kralovich’s resignation, Watts declined to comment. “We have to appoint somebody today (Wednesday) and I talked to the other board members,” Watts said of the decision to nominate Birk-Bogins. “We all agreed on her, so there was no sense in going on any further. We all agreed that she was more than qualified for the job.

We thought that she would be good for it. She’s very good with financing and obviously we have to figure out some financing.” Birk-Bogins finished fourth in the balloting in a four-way race in March 2021 for a pair of town board nominations in the Cairo Republican Committee caucus. She trailed current board members Michael Flaherty and MaryJo Cords, as well as candidate Marion Coyne. Watts said that if Birk-Bogins’ appointment is confirmed by the board on Wednesday night that Cairo Town Court Justice Joan VanDenburgh would be in attendance to swear her in immediately.

so her face could not be seen, was brought to the courthouse Wednesday by police from the Ulster County Jail and escorted into the building by an officer. She also received papers to sign and was escorted out of the courthouse and into a waiting police vehicle. Kirk Shultis Jr. and Kimberly Cooper are the girl’s noncustodial parents. Paislee Shultis was reported missing from Cayuga Heights, Tompkins County, on July 13, 2019. At the time, she was believed to have been abducted by Cooper and Kirk Shultis Jr., Sinagra said. On Monday night, at about 8:06 p.m., Saugerties police and state police executed a search warrant issued by Saugerties Town Justice Court at 35 Fawn Road. At the time of the search warrant execution, the owner of the home denied having any knowledge of the child’s whereabouts, telling officers that he had not seen the child since she was reported missing in 2019, Sinagra said. A little more than an hour into the search of the home, the child was located, hidden in a makeshift room under a closed staircase leading to the

basement. Saugerties police detective Erik Thiele noticed something odd about the staircase leading from the back of the residence into the basement of the house that caught his attention. Thiele thought the construction of the steps was strange, that something was out of place. Using a flashlight, Thiele shined the beam through a crack between the wooden steps and saw what he believed to be a blanket. When he inspected the staircase, the structure appeared to be solid, but

detectives used a halogen tool to remove several of the wooden steps and that is when detectives saw a pair of tiny feet. When police removed the step boards, the child and her alleged abductor, Kimberly Cooper, were found hiding in the dark and wet enclosure, Sinagra said. Paislee was taken to Saugerties police headquarters, where she was met by paramedics from Diaz Ambulance, examined and released in good health, Sinagra said. Paislee was turned over to her legal guardian and reunited with her older sister.

Both Shultises were arraigned in Saugerties Town Court and have been released on their own recognizance. Since Paislee was reported missing in 2019, Saugerties police and other law enforcement agencies investigated numerous leads relative to the girl’s disappearance. Several of those leads took police to the house on Fawn Road. However, on each occasion the residents denied having knowledge of the little girl’s whereabouts, Sinagra said. The girl’s biological father, who had resurfaced shortly after Paislee’s disappearance, denied knowledge of his daughter’s whereabouts and told police that he had not seen the child since 2019, when he reported that Cooper fled to Pennsylvania with his daughter, Sinagra said. During some of the follow up visits to the Fawn Road location, authorities were permitted by both men to have limited access into the residence to look around for the child. They allowed police to enter the home, knowing the child and her abductor were hidden within the house and would not be found, Sinagra said. The investigation is ongoing and additional arrests are pending, Sinagra said.

from Wednesday through Friday. “Today students were given the choice to continue their protest by completing schoolwork in the library unmasked, attend classes wearing their masks, or be picked up to go home,” she wrote on Tuesday. “Many of these students chose not to comply with any of these options. Instead they remained in the main lobby on the hallway bench or wandered the halls throughout the school day causing a disruption to the learning of others. This disruption negatively impacts learning and cannot be tolerated in an educational setting.” Hochul had previously announced that she would review the statewide school mask mandate in the first week of March after lifting the mandate for businesses on Feb. 9. “We were in a situation where 50 students refused to comply with the mandate that the governor has issued through an executive order,” Greenville Board of Education President Tracy Young said on Wednesday. “So the students were asked to, ‘Please wear your mask in class or you may return home.’ The third option was to go to the library. That’s where they could be unmasked and so forth. They basically refused all options. So then it created a situation where we’re part of a community and we need to exist with multiple opinions and be respectful and comply with the law. So I think that is where the administrators got together and said, ‘This is the situation moving forward.’” The district has a previously scheduled winter recess from Feb. 21-25, with classes slated to resume on Feb. 28. Young said the district hoped to resume in-person classes on that date. “That is the intention right now, but as with everything with COVID, it’s a dynamic process,” she said. “The administrative team is setting a time next week to meet with the families. People feel very strongly about this and we’re

all proud to be Americans and we’re allowed to express different opinions. But we need it to be constructive. The families could meet with school personnel and they’re encouraged to reach out to our representatives, as well as the governor. Then they can use advocacy in a constructive way.” During a school board meeting on Monday, a group of district parents voiced their opposition to the mask mandate. Young noted that the district administration and the school board does not have the option of dropping the state mask mandate. “We tried to explain that and share that on Monday, but sometimes emotions are so high that is takes a while to process that,” she said. “There was a school in Brooklyn (Poly Prep Country Day School) that issued a letter saying that they would not require the mask. Everyone in that school is vaccinated. Within 24 hours, SED (State Education Department) came down and said, ‘Yes, you will.’ So schools have less ability than people think.” Greenville Town Supervisor Paul Macko said that parent and student protesters were on the corner of Routes 32 and 81 on Wednesday morning continuing to rally against the school mask mandate.

He explained that the mask debate provided a chance for residents and Greenville students to open up a dialogue with their state elected representatives regarding the mask policy. “I firmly believe that most of the decision-making about wearing masks comes from the New York State Department of Education,” he said on Wednesday. “It comes from state government in Albany. Maybe to instill in these high schoolers and these kids, maybe representatives from each class ought to do a Zoom call with (New York State Senator) Michelle Hinchey and (New York Assemblyman) Chris Tague and express their views. It’s all going to come from Albany. The school board gets their march orders from the New York State Department of Education. What better way to teach ninth-graders and 10thgraders than to do a Zoom call or go to Albany and sit down to meet with them? I think they would jump at the opportunity, and what better way to teach kids how government works?” Macko said his office would not get involved with the district in its decision-making regarding its mask mandate. “I speak once a month with the district superintendent and we talk about a lot of town and school-related issues,

but I don’t get involved in the day-to-day politics of wearing masks and how that’s being done at the school,” he said. If Hochul were to drop the school mask mandate in March, Young said the Greenville Board of Education would study its options in crafting a mask policy. “I think there would be discussions, but we have to be respectful of the entire community and of course follow what the governor is saying,” she said.

Police: Ravena man charged with stalking By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

SAUGERTIES — A man from Albany County was arrested on Monday, for allegedly stalking a female victim in Ulster County, Saugerites police chief Joseph Sinagra said. David M. Radley, 31, of Ravena, was charged with second-degree aggravated harassment and fourth-degree stalking, Sinagra said. Both charges are misdemeanors. Radley is accused of making more than 30 “aggravating” phone calls to the victim’s cell phone, Sinagra said. On Feb. 5, the woman walked into the Saugerties Police Station and told officers that Radley was stalking her. Following an investigation, Radley was arrested on Feb. 14, Sinagra said. Radley was arraigned in Saugerties Town Justice Court, where he was released on his own recognizance. The

HUNTER — Two teens from the Capital Region were rescued by New York State forest rangers after they became lost while hiking in the Town of Hunter, Department of Environmental Conservation spokesman Jeff Wernick said Wednesday. The boy and girl, who were not identified by officials, were a 17-year-old from Niskayuna and a 16-year-old from Albany, Wernick said. The two were hiking from the South Lake trailhead to Sunset Rock. They arrived at Sunset Rock at about 5 p.m. On their way back, the two missed the marked trail and ended up at a small pond. When they realized they were not on the trail, they called their parents, and called Greene County 911, Wernick said. At 6:35 p.m., Greene County 911 requested assistance from forest rangers. Rangers Robert Dawson and John Gullen responded to the area and determined that the hikers were at the Kaaterskill hotel site, Wernick said. The rangers hiked to the area where the two hikers were located, and provided them with warmer clothing, and helped them out to the trailhead where they met their parents. The rescue lasted nearly three hours, ending at 9:30 p.m., Wernick said. If a person needs a Forest Ranger, whether it’s for a search and rescue, to report a wildfire, or to report illegal

When forest rangers are not rescuing hikers, they continue to train on the latest techniques and equipment, so they can use those skills when they are required, like they did last weekend in Hunter. On Feb. 7, Region 4 Forest Rangers participated in winter rescue training at NorthSouth Lake Campground and Day Use Area to review winter gear essentials, techniques to keep warm, providing care to injured individuals in a cold environment, and moving through snow or ice-covered terrain, Wernick said. Rangers practiced these techniques during

OUR VIEW

We can do better for our veterans No state agency or department is immune to criticism from some quarter, but one thing we know is that the New York Division of Veterans’ Services does some of the best work in its field compared to other agencies. Representatives of state legislative leaders in Albany expressed an eager interest to move a bill to establish a new state Department of Veterans’ Services — elevating the current Division of Veterans Services to a cabinet-level agency with a governor-appointed commissioner. We say the time has come for just an autonomous department. Veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, housing issues or other

problems may have to apply to five or six different state agencies — the Office of Mental Health, the state Office of the Aging, the Office of Addiction Services and Support, among several others — to access their earned benefits, leading to a confusing jumble of applications. The bill would add language outlining the agency’s specific duties to coordinate outreach efforts to veterans to ensure they receive their entitled housing, employment, mental health, education and other benefits by smoothing out navigation across other related state departments. The Division of Veterans’ Services was established in 1945 for returning World

War II veterans. New York has more than 800,000 veterans, with more than half over age 65, but only about 17% of the population can access benefits and eligible services under the current structure, which has remained unchanged over the last 75 years. New York’s veterans have sacrificed jobs, family, health and their lives. The current Division of Veterans’ Services has done an excellent job in the post-World War II era, but we live in a different time. We can, we must, do better when it comes to providing veterans with the resources they need to re-enter civilian life and adjust to new, unprecedented way of life. We strongly support passage of this bill.

ANOTHER VIEW

Another inflection point of bedeviling uncertainty is upon us. Thankfully, the omicron wave of the pandemic appears to be easing. Just like last year, the spring beckons as a time of promise — fewer restrictions, less sickness and diminishing anxiety. But let’s not forget how we were caught by surprise when the virus returned. Hope is not a strategy. It is time to plan and prepare. The most urgent questions are about vaccines, which are highly protective against serious illness and death. But the United States is under-vaccinated and under-boosted. A study published Feb. 11 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also suggests that the efficacy of a booster dose begins to wane by the fourth month. During omicron, two months after the booster, the study found, efficacy was 87 percent against visits to the emergency department or urgent care clinic and 91 percent against hospitalizations. It declined to 66 percent and 78 percent, respectively, after four months. The study raises a disturbing and still unan-

swered question: What now? Does it make sense to prepare a second booster when the uptake of the first was only about half the eligible U.S. population? Only 68% of the eligible population has gotten the first two doses. Just as importantly, what would be the goal? Pfizer and its partner BioNTech have announced trials are underway on an omicron-specific vaccine, but is that worth the effort if omicron is in the rearview mirror? Given that more than 10 variants have already appeared during the pandemic — not all of them serious — it would seem a safe bet that a new one will arise. Ideally, a new booster would be tailored to a new threat, but the nature of the next variant is not known. No one knows if it will be more or less transmissible or virulent than omicron or delta. While another round of boosters might be inevitable, the World Health Organization warned Jan. 11 that “a vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable.” One pathway out of this endless loop is to redouble efforts to discover and

manufacture a universal coronavirus vaccine that would protect against all variants. The current mRNA vaccines are the equivalent of software version 1.0. Maybe version 2.0 will be more durable and protective. Researchers are hard at work on the problem, but it is far from simple. Meanwhile, the spring lull is a good moment to improve other tools. Why can’t the highly protective N95 masks, designed for occupational settings, be re-engineered and manufactured for better fit and comfort for children and others? Also, the vaccine gap for children under 5 years old must be closed. The Food and Drug Administration was correct in its decision last week to wait for more data on a possible third shot for these children, but that does not ease the anxiety for parents. Resolving the uncertainty surrounding pediatric vaccines ought to be a high and continuing priority. It is unclear whether — at last — we have reached the turning point for which we have longed. But at a minimum, this respite should be a time to rebuild and bolster our defenses.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘I’ve liked lots of people ’til I went on a picnic jaunt with them.’ BESS TRUMAN

Underestimating Lisa Murkowski is a halfbaked idea in Alaska WASHINGTON — The 63-pound salmon mounted on a wall in the Hart Senate Office Building is about half the size of the senator who reeled it in from an Alaska river. If the fish underestimated the woman, it was not the first creature to do so. Or the last. Among the seven Republican senators who voted to convict President Donald Trump in the January 2021 impeachment trial concerning his incitement of the Jan. 6 riot, only Lisa Murkowski is up for reelection this November. So, Alaska’s senior senator has received allocations from Trump’s inexhaustible reserves of resentments. This seems to trouble her minimally. His unhappiness is a minor inconvenience compared with the rigors of campaigning in a state one-fifth the size of the continental 48 states. Alaska’s westernmost bit, an Aleutian Island, is closer to Tokyo than to the state’s capital, Juneau, which is adjacent to British Columbia. Although two-thirds of Alaskans live in or near Anchorage, many of the other third cannot be reached by roads, so boats and small aircraft must suffice until winter multiplies the transportation options: dog sleds and snow machines. Furthermore, in 2020, Alaska voters, disregarding the desires of the leaders (and the activist bases) of both parties, changed, by referendum, the state’s voting. Out went party primaries too easily dominated by a fire-breathing few; in came a nonpartisan “jungle” primary with all candidates on the same ballot. The top four finishers advance to rankedchoice voting in November: If a candidate receives a majority of first-place votes, the winner is known. If not, the candidate with the fewest first-place votes is erased, and his or her votes are reallocated according to voters’ rankings, until a candidate acquires a majority. This is

WILL a Madisonian reform, designed to encourage rule by majorities whose political temperatures do not skew far toward fevers. In 2002, when her father, Frank, left the Senate to become governor, he appointed her to complete the final two years of his term. She has subsequently won three terms. The second, in 2010, she won as a write-in candidate, becoming the only person other than South Carolina’s Democratic former governor, Strom Thurmond, in 1954 to be elected to the Senate by write-in votes. Murkowski, having lost the 2010 Republican primary, was resigned to the end of her political career until some constituents convinced her that Alaskans could do something unconventional. Which they did wearing to the polls rubber wristbands that when turned inside out reminded them how to spell “Murkowski.” (Alaska election officials had barred Murkowski from using Thurmond’s tactic of giving voters pencils imprinted with his name.) Trump has endorsed Murkowski’s Republican opponent, Kelly Tshibaka. Tshibaka’s through-thelooking-glass understanding of Washington, where she yearns to work, is that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., “has repeatedly bailed out Joe Biden, giving him gifts of Senate votes,” and that Murkowski — “Biden’s Chief Enabling Officer” — “has stood shoulder to shoulder with [Biden].” Most Alaskans were born elsewhere, and the state’s libertarian tinge perhaps

reflects the fact that many people moved there to get away from somewhere irritating. But the federal government owns about 60% of the state, so federal officeholders with seniority matter, and voters behave accordingly. In his 40 years in the Senate (1968-2009), Republican Ted Stevens was as unapologetic as he was indefatigable in diverting a river of federal resources to Alaska. He even thought the (never-built) Bridge to Nowhere might — this is the frontier spirit of boosterism that flung railroads into every corner of the continent — stimulate the development of a somewhere. Rep. Don Young, now in his 25th term, has been Alaska’s only congressman since 1973. He is the longestserving Republican in congressional history, and if Republicans control the House in 2023, he will become even mightier for Alaska. No state has been hurt as much as Alaska by the Biden administration’s fossil-fuel phobia. Oil and gas provide about a quarter of the state’s jobs. Are Alaskans apt to entrust their defense against Washington to Tshibaka, whose understanding of Washington is weird? Alaska’s August primary occurs, Murkowski says, as fishing season is ending and hunting season is impending. This third-generation Alaskan says politics is secondary: “We’re not inside; we don’t watch TV.” Of the question with which many Republican candidates are belabored by unreconciled constituents — “Who won the 2020 election?” — she says: “Nobody asks me.” If she really is, as conventional wisdom says, the most vulnerable Republican senator, this is excellent news for McConnell, the fellow standing over there giving Biden “gifts of Senate votes.” George Will’s email address is georgewill@washpost.com

Class of 1938 yearbook, part 3 By Dede Terns-Thorpe For Columbia-Greene Media

This week will be the final piece of the 1938 H-T-C- School yearbook. Earlier high school graduate classes put together a sort of gathering of their school years, but this class did it so beautifully; I felt it should be shared exactly as written (a very small amount of the book was omitted due to space). Class Day On March 4, 1938, a large number of our parents and friends enjoyed Class Day in the Senior High School Auditorium. This is a day set aside for interclass basketball games and formations by the students. Conducted by the snappy drum major, Irene Curran, the 24-piece band paraded first and played as the rest of the student body, led by the presidents of the upper classes, maneuvered. In gala capes and hats we formed first an H and a T. Next, the combined student body, after breaking formation and marching around the auditorium formed a block C. Lights were dimmed as Robert Ullery, with his trumpet, led us in the Alma Mater before we marched to the bleachers to support our class teams in their contest of skill. The Juniors again captured the championship which they won last year as sophomores. Class Day was introduced by our able principal, Mr. Rasbach, and we hope it will be celebrated with his supervision for years to come. The Band With patience, Mr. Ullery is working to develop a band that we may well be proud of. In the fall of 1936, he turned a sympathetic ear to the pleas of our band enthusiasts and undertook organizing a school band. In Mr. Rasbach and the Board of Education he found ready support for the plan. He is instructing over a hundred students who will soon combine their skill with that of the present members. The band made its 1938 debut at Class Day with its excellent drill formation playing. On June 4 our band had the honor of leading seven hundred Boy Scouts in their parade through the streets of Kingston. (Regretfully, there was no list of names from the Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior years. There were forty plus students in the Freshman and Junior years, with the Sophomore class having fifty-one students).

HUNTER-TANNERSVILLE CENTRAL ANNOUNCES FEBRUARY STUDENTS OF THE MONTH

Rain gardens and biodiversity with Mountain Top Arboretum TANNERSVILLE — The Mountain Top Arboretum presents the webinar Rain Gardens and Biodiversity 1011:30 a.m. March 12. One way to increase your biodiversity and help with downstream flooding is to install a rain garden, a concave area planted heavily with native plants, that collects and cleans the rainwater from your downspouts before returning it to the ground. In a natural environment, rainwater gets absorbed into the ground where plants and microbes filter the water. A rain garden is designed to mimic this process by slowing the flow and absorbing rainwater before it is dumped into nearby waterways. Carolle Huber will discuss site assessment, soil analysis, design guidelines, construction and plant selection. By planting a rain garden you will be increasing the biodiversity of your neighborhood. And in today’s world of decreasing insect and bird populations, that is critical. As a landscape architect in New Jersey, Huber has been designing landscapes for 25 years, working on large developments, subdivisions, wetlands restoration, green roofs, and residential design. As an environmentalist, it

ALBANY — The impassioned shouts of farmers opposed to the Wage Board’s recent decision to lower the overtime threshold for farm workers rang from the Capitol’s Million Dollar Staircase on Tuesday in their hopes the echoes would reach Gov. Kathy Hochul and members of her cabinet meeting on the second floor. It will likely be spring before Labor Department Commissioner Roberta Reardon makes the final decision to accept or reject the Farm Workers Wage Board’s Jan. 31 vote to reduce the overtime threshold for farm workers to 40 hours over the next decade, reducing the threshold from 60 by four hours every two years. “Commissioner Reardon has not yet received the Farm Laborers Wage Board’s official report,” Labor Department officials said in a statement Tuesday. “When she does, the commissioner will have 45 days to review the recommendations and announce her decision on the matter.” In the Capitol on Tuesday, agricultural advocates said the commissioner could request an extension to review the decision for an additional 45 days — or at least three months after the board submits its official report to the department. Farmers estimate a 42% cost increase with the overtime changes — a price tag they say will bankrupt many small and mid-sized family farms across New York, forcing them to shutter after two years weathering pandemic hardships. “The fate of farming and agriculture in New York state now rests with only two people: Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon and Gov. Kathy Hochul,” said Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-Schoharie, a former dairy farmer who has been a leader in the fight against the threshold reduction. “This isn’t an inevitable tragedy that we need to accept, though, because Gov. Hochul and Commissioner Reardon still have the power to put an end to this madness,” said Tague, a ranking member of the Agriculture Committee. “They had an opportunity to save farming as we know it today. If we have no farms, we have no food. ... Commissioner Reardon and Gov. Hochul, I implore you: Don’t bite the hand that feeds us. Stay at 60.” About 73% of the farmers, farm owners, migrant workers and lawmakers who testified to the Wage Board on Jan. 4, 18 and 20, spoke in opposition to the threshold reduction, representing small or mid-sized family farms. Labor unions and other organizations have advocated for the 40-hour threshold to give migrant farm workers a more fair wage and protections comparable to other industries. U.S. farm workers earned $14.62 per hour on average in 2020, which is just 60% — or three-fifths — of what production and nonsupervisory nonfarm workers earned at $24.67, according to the Economic Policy Institute. “I believe those who support lowering the overtime threshold have done so with good intentions and out of concern for all who work on

Assemblyman Steve Hawley, R-Batavia, pleaded for the Labor Department Commissioner Roberta Reardon and Gov. Kathy Hochul to reject the Wage Board’s recent decision to lower the overtime threshold for farmers to 40 hours in the state Capitol on Tuesday.

our farms, but I cannot stress enough that lowering this overtime threshold will only hurt the very people the measures intended to help,” said Assemblyman Steve Hawley, R-Batavia, a former thirdgeneration farmer who represents farm country throughout the GLOW region. Hawley, a member of Genesee County’s Farm Bureau, voiced concerns reducing the threshold will lead to increased food prices and a reduced diversity of available New York-grown crops and products. “The plain truth of the matter is that farms cannot operate on less than a 60-hour workweek, and the failure to recognize that fact will lead to the loss of our beloved family farms,” he said. Hochul and the Labor Department commissioner continue to weigh the decision, the governor told reporters after Tuesday’s cabinet meeting concluded, adding she continues to solicit opinions from all sides of the issue. “We still have time to have that under consideration,” Hochul said. “We are looking at it closely, but we are also looking at a way if this is going to be the case, it would be as a long rollout, you know, plenty of time for people to adapt to it.” Commissioner Reardon was at the table with a microphone and ability to speak, but did not provide input about the upcoming decision. The Labor Department responded to subsequent questions with an identical statement: “We have not yet received the Farm Laborers Wage Board’s official report.” Hochul’s executive budget proposes doubling the farm workforce retention tax credit to $1,200 to help offset rising labor costs from ongoing minimum wage increases — a proposal that surprised agricultural advocates, they said Tuesday, adding it was something they have not requested. “The governor is trying to have it both ways,” said Jeff Williams, New York State Farm Bureau’s director of public policy. “It’s critical that if this goes forward and we go to 40, farmers need the opportunity to get their overtime offset. It’s not that they won’t pay, they simply can’t pay.” Tague said the tax incentive “is a slap in the face” to

farmers. “If I was still a dairy farmer and in business and it was offered to me, I’d say ‘No, thank you,” he said. Anyone may file objections to the Wage Board’s vote for a 15-day period after the board files its report with the Labor Department. The commissioner will issue a report with details about her intended decision, which will be open for public comment before made final. Hochul recently met with New York Farm Bureau officials and other representatives in the state’s agriculture community to discuss their fiscal needs and legislative priorities. Hochul on Tuesday urged the federal government to make more work visas available to increase the number of migrant farm workers throughout the year to benefit both vegetable and dairy farmers. “Agriculture — this is an essential industry for us,” the governor said, adding urban food banks rely on the state’s strong agricultural practices. “We need to keep that lifeline open as well. ... We want to get it right for them as well and make sure that we take care of our workers, gives them what they need, but also gives the farmers perhaps tax relief to help ameliorate the impacts. “It is not final, but we’re getting close.” If accepted, the new rate for farm laborers will begin Jan. 1, 2024 with a threshold of 56 hours, down to 52 hours Jan. 1, 2026; reduced to 48 hours on Jan. 1, 2028; 44 hours on Jan. 1, 2030, and the 40-hour threshold in effect Jan. 1, 2032.

The state’s 60-hour threshold for farm workers was established down from 80 hours under the 2019 Farm Laborers Fair Labor Practices Act and took effect in 2020.

History of the Black Community in Hudson:

A Discussion of the Black Legacy Association of Columbia County (BLACC) Collection HUDSON — Thursday, March 3, 6 p.m., join Hudson Area Library Director Emily Chameides, Quintin Cross, Senior Policy Advisor of Hudson Catskill Housing Coalition, and Tiffany Garriga, founder/ executive director of Black Entrepreneur Market, for an introduction to the library’s website dedicated to the Black Legacy Association of Columbia County (BLACC) Oral History Project Collection. This is a collection of local oral histories, images, and documents from the 1980s gathered by the now defunct Columbia County Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) under the auspices of Columbia Opportunities. It has been organized, digitized, archived, and made accessible by the Hudson Area Library. The evening includes video and audio segments from the oral history interviews of local Black residents. Discussion of the history of the Black community and images from the collection will also be a part of the evening. Columbia Opportunities, Inc. donated the collection to the Hudson Area Library in 2018. In 2019, the library was awarded an Accelerating Promising Practices for Small Libraries grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services for a collaborative project with Oral History Summer School (OHSS) to

The experiences and impact of the Black community are underrepresented in local history collections and we are honored to have the opportunity to share these stories with the public and to celebrate their value in history. We are grateful

to Columbia Opportunities for supporting and safeguarding this special collection over the years and for trusting us with the stewardship of it.” Tina Sharpe, Executive Director of Columbia Opportunities, Inc. states “This was truly a labor of love for our RSVP Director Marcella Beigel, our volunteers and Columbia Opportunities, Inc. as a whole. I am so glad that the information has been properly curated and will be made available to the whole community through the Hudson Area Library.” The event will be held virtually via Zoom.

Born in Davenport, Iowa into an upper middle-class family, Beiderbecke became a legend even in his short lifetime, bringing an amazing new energy and unprecedented maturity to the music and influencing generations of musicians. Using archival photographs and rare footage and interviews with friends and colleagues (including jazz greats Hoagy Carmichael, Doc Cheatham, Artie Shaw), Oscar® winner Brigitte Berman’s acclaimed documentary paints a vivid portrait of a vanished era and brings to life the only trumpeter Louis Armstrong regarded as an equal (the quotation in the film’s title was once spoken by Armstrong). 1981. 1h56m. Saturday, February 19 at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, February 20 at 1:15 p.m., Monday, February 21 at 5:30 p.m. n Levan Koguashvili’s, BRIGHTON 4TH (2021) — Former wrestling champion Kakhi (Levan Tediashvili, himself a former Olympic wrestling champion) always has his family on his conscience, and in Brighton 4th, this leads him on a journey from his home in the Republic of Georgia to visit his son Soso (Giorgi Tabidze) in the Russian-speaking neighborhood of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. There he finds Soso living in a shabby boardinghouse populated by a colorful group of fellow Georgian immigrants. And Soso is not studying medicine, as Kakhi believed, but is working for a moving company and has accrued a $14,000 gambling debt to a local mob boss. Kakhi sets his mind to helping his hapless son out of his debt, leading to situations as often comic as they are dire. In English, Georgian, Russian with English subtitles. 2021. 1h35m. Saturday, February 19 at 6:30 p.m., Sunday, February 20 at 5:45 p.m. n Ingmar Bergman’s, THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY (1961) — While vacationing on a remote island retreat, a family finds its fragile ties tested when daughter Karin (an astonishing Harriet Andersson) discovers her father (Gunnar Björnstrand) has been using her schizophrenia for his own literary ends. As she drifts in and out of lucidity, Karin’s father, her husband (Max von Sydow), and her younger brother (Lars Passgård) are unable to prevent her descent into the abyss of mental illness. Winner of the Academy Award for best foreign-language film, Through a Glass Darkly, the first work in Ingmar Bergman’s trilogy on faith and the loss of it, presents an unflinching vision of a family’s near disintegration and a tortured psyche further taunted by the intangibility of God’s presence. In Swedish with English subtitles. 1961. 1h30m. Saturday, February 19 at 6 p.m., Sunday, February 20 at 5:15 p.m. n Ingmar Bergman’s, THE SILENCE (1963), — Two sisters—the sickly, intellectual Ester (Ingrid Thulin) and the sensual, pragmatic Anna (Gunnel Lindblom)—travel by train with Anna’s young son, Johan (Jörgen Lindström), to a foreign country that appears to be on the brink of war. Attempting to cope with their alien surroundings, each sister is left to her own vices while they vie for Johan’s affection, and in so doing sabotage what little remains of their relationship. Regarded as one of the most sexually provocative films of its day, Ingmar Bergman’s The Silence offers a disturbing vision of emotional isolation in a suffocating spiritual void. In Swedish with English subtitles. 1963. 1h35m. Saturday, February 19 at 4:15 p.m. n Ingmar Bergman’s, WINTER LIGHT (1963) — “God, why hast thou forsaken me?” With Winter Light, Ingmar Bergman explores the search for redemption in a meaningless existence. Small-town pastor Tomas Ericsson (Gunnar Björnstrand) performs his duties mechanically before a dwindling congregation, including his stubbornly devoted lover, Märta (Ingrid Thulin). When he is asked to assuage a troubled parishioner’s (Max von Sydow) debilitating fear of nuclear annihilation, Tomas is terrified to find that he can provide

nothing but his own doubt. The beautifully photographed Winter Light is an unsettling look at the human craving for personal validation in a world seemingly abandoned by God. In Swedish with English subtitles. 1963. 1h21m. Sunday, February 20 at 3:45 p.m. n Marie Amiguet & Vincent Munier’s, THE VELVET QUEEN (2021) — In the heart of the Tibetan highlands, multi-award-winning nature pho- tographer Vincent Munier guides writer Sylvain Tesson on his quest to document the infamously elusive snow leopard. Munier introduces Tes- son to the subtle art of waiting from a blind spot, tracking animals, and finding the patience to catch sight of the beasts. Through their journey in the Tibetan peaks, inhabited by invisible presences, the two men ponder humankind’s place amongst the magnificent creatures and glorious landscapes they encounter along the way. Set to a haunting soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis! In French with English subtitles. 2021. 1h32m.

A wide range of subjects in today’s column By Lula Anderson

ASHLAND SPEAKS

For Columbia-Greene Media

Another week of crazy weather. Cars get thawed out, only to refreeze the next day. Driveways thaw, the lucky people get to see bare ground, others are refrozen and no amount of salt and sand can get through it. Night time temps in the low single digits some nights, then the next night in the 40’s. Bring in wood and do your outdoor chores when it’s 50 because tomorrow it will be 10 with a windchill of negative 15. February is officially half over and we can finally think about the warmer weather to come. I love being able to go out and be able to stay out after 5 because the daylight lasts so much longer. On Monday, 17 senior citizens braved the cold and wind to attend a much needed meeting of WAJPL Golden Age Club. We really didn’t have much to discuss, but Vicky did announce the trips from the Catskill Senior group. Judy and I reported on the information from the Greene County advisory board meeting. Remember, we are your representatives to the Department of Aging, and if you have a problem, please let us know. There is help available through the County and it is there for the asking. Don’t be afraid to ask. We have gotten help for several people. Including another life alert system for a neighbor in need. You have paid taxes FOREVER. Now is the time to use the services. On the same page, the Department of Aging and Human Resources is still looking for volunteers for home delivered meals and medical transport. All safety precautions are followed, and it’s at your convenience, but with the nicer weather coming, maybe you would like to get out and about more. You meet some wonderful people when you volunteer. 518-7193555. Happy 83rd birthday to my dear friend, Nellis Newcomb on Feb. 15. I guess with the cold weather, more and more people are

ANDERSON reading the paper. I got calls from people with memories of friends and family who went door to door. Jessie Jaeger sold vacuums on the mountain top Marylin Telga (Smith) writes: “Reading your column this week reminded me of when Paul Knefley, WAJ High School English Teacher, spent his summer selling The World Book Encyclopedia to many families In the school district including mine. I remember him sitting on the back patio selling the books to my mother. The company wanted to hire him permanently because he sold so many encyclopedias. Mr. Knefley told my mother that he would not take the job offer because he knew he had an advantage selling the books due to being a teacher to so many students in the school district. I used that encyclopedia for many years in school and college. Well done, Mr. Knefley!” John Balura from Poughkeepsie, formally of County Route 10, grew up in NYC and his father paid him $1/week to carry coal to the furnace and the pot belly stove. Coal burns very hot, but it must be kept burning, so John had to make sure there was always coal to put in the stoves. That pot belly stove was always glowing red. Ron Gabriel’s family had an ice business and when they ran out of ice to cut down the mountain, they came up to Tannersville to harvest for the summer. During the winter, they delivered coal to their summer ice customers. The Mountain Eagle is celebrating 40 years of publishing which is a great accomplishment in this day and age. Just

wanted to let you know that Sue Hemmingway, who wrote for the original Mountain Eagle in Hunter, is still reading and keeping in touch. Prayers and Cares go to Charlie VanEtten, Fran Williams and continued prayers and blessings to Sparky and Louise Begley.

AS I REMEMBER IT While watching TV these days you have to wonder why anyone is sick, overweight, or has health problems. There are commercials for food to make you lose weight, gain weight, solve your energy problems, help you cook, (you can subscribe to many companies that send you the food plus recipes for fool proof meals for your familys’ enjoyment), plus all sorts of pills and tonics to give you shiny full hair, soft skin, erase wrinkles, etc etc. I have a friend who is relying on vitamins and yet has not had a yearly physical for sometime because she goes to other doctors. Please remember, your primary care physician is your first, and best source for YOU. A yearly physical is a MUST as your complete blood count (CBC) tells what You need. As an afterthought, What ever happened to succotash? That used to be one of my favorite vegetables, now you can only find lima beans in the frozen food section and cannot find those jars of Butter Beans anywhere. Have you noticed that you can buy some foods that spoil in a day or two, but there are things that sit in your fridge forever. Has to do with the preservatives added. A good loaf of bread is good for two days but that loaf of white, processed bread can sit on your counter for weeks. Do you still know what dumplings are as in Chicken and Dumplings? We never had stewed chicken without dumplings floating on the top. Another recipe gone? More thoughts and perusals next week. — Lula

New fulltime residents on the mountain top By Abby and Gabby For Columbia-Greene Media

PRATTSVILLE — Thank you to all doctors, nurses, EMTs, first responders, essential workers and all who are watching over us. You are appreciated. Jamison Rikard hits the news again. Jamison and friends Brandon Hanley and Kevin Dalton became Prattsville Firemen on Feb. 7. Congratulations young men and thank you for setting the example for good civic duty for all to follow. Keep up the good work. Not sure what their official titles are but will let you know when they let me know. Welcome to Jane and Joe Concato who are now full time residents of our area, having their home in Lexington. They have been second homeowners for many years, won’t tell how many years Jane and Joe, but it has been a long time. Joe’s parents were also second homeowners in our area as was his aunt Angie and late uncle Hugo Delnero. Everyone remembers Angie for her volunteerism with the Jewett Center food and luncheon programs. Angie was also active in the WAJPL Golden Agers and volunteered for the veterans at Stratton VAMC. Jane

and Joe are also active in volunteer groups and have signed up for a particular organization in Kingston and as members of the UMC Lexington, they assisted at the church’s chicken barbecue Feb. 11 and Joe delivered dinners to some who didn’t feel like venturing out on a cold winter’s evening. Jane and Joe both served as officers in their organizations and are both very proud of their membership in the Volunteer Fire Company. They are both retired and over the years have learned how the mountain folk survive during the winter’s bad weather, ergo they have installed facilities to carry them over days of weather enforced isolation. Like their foresight, it will avoid emergency calls. Speaking of community involvement, did you sign up for membership in the Zadock Pratt Museum? Our Museum can always use financial help as well as physical involvement. Think about it. Valerie Rikard stopped by with a supply of recyclable bottles, the returned deposits to be used for needed items for our hospitalized veterans. Valerie is one retired lady that is always on the go and she does it in good spirits. Valerie, you are admired

and appreciated. The men in the various Rikard families keep her busy and she says she enjoys it. Lucky Rikard men. Saw a small flock of robins one day last week. They didn’t say whether they were early arrivals or some who missed last year’s migration. They have since moved on so perhaps they had return flights booked. Waiting for the return of red wing blackbirds. They are usually here around Feb. 14. There is a multitude of snow activities available at Bear Pen Ski Center, County Route 2, under the management of the Rennells. Quite the site for winter fun, and you don’t have to leave Prattsville to enjoy it. The scenery alone in that area is worth the trip. A very Happy Birthday, and many more, to fellow columnist and good buddy Dottie Pickett on Feb. 20. Happy Birthday to Keith Lane on Feb. 21. On Feb. 24 it is Happy Birthday to Ken Aurigema. We could use some news — birthdays, anniversaries, milestones, births, etc. Share how you celebrated Valentine’s Day with your loved one. Call 518299-3219 or email gurleyrv@gmail. com.

Over 15 of our own brewed beers on tap, including seasonal ales, IPA’s, porters, stouts, and lagers. Growlers and 4-pack cans to go available.

MLB lockout: Pitchers and catchers were supposed to report this week ... What comes next? Shayna Rubin The Mercury News

Confetti flying at the end of a Super Bowl typically marks the beginning of baseball season. Not this year. This week, pitchers and catchers are supposed to be due to report to their camps in Arizona and Florida to begin the spring training grind in preparation for a full season baseball.

Instead, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association are still locked in a stalemate on the collective bargaining negotiations, stuck in a league-imposed lockout that began on Dec. 2. The pitchers-and-catchers report dates this week will fly by with both sides far apart on an agreement. See MLB B3

Kamila Valieva acknowledged taking two permitted substances for heart Emily Giambalvo and Gus Garcia-Roberts The Washington Post

BEIJING — When Russian figure skating star Kamila Valieva provided a sample that later tested positive for a prohibited drug, she acknowledged taking two other substances sometimes used to help heart function but not on the banned list, according to a filing by the World Anti-Doping Agency. This document outlined WADA’s stance as it challenged Valieva’s eligibility to compete at the Olympics and provided insight into the 15-year-old’s defense. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that, despite testing positive for the banned substance trimetazidine, Valieva could continue participating at the Games - citing her age, the irreparable harm if she was suspended and later found innocent, and the timing of the news that didn’t allow for a full legal process. Valieva is the gold medal favorite in the figure skating women’s competition and is in the lead after Tuesday’s short program. Even though the Valieva provided this urine sample Dec. 25, the lab did not report its result until last week, prompting this expedited hearing during the Games. WADA’s filing posted to Dossier Center, a website run by Russian opposition figure Mikhail Khodorkovsky, appeared to shed more light on the case. The document was said to be authentic by a person with direct knowledge of the case. According to WADA’s filing, Valieva declared three products on her doping control form: L-carnitine and hypoxen, which are not banned by WADA and can be used to improve endurance, along with supradyn, a multivitamin. According to the document, Valieva’s mother said during a hearing on the case that Valieva took hypoxen to treat “heart variations.” To Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, the presence of the other substances and the concentration of trimetazidine in Valieva’s system - suggested a regimen, not contamination. The document noted that Valieva tested positive for 2.1 nanograms of trimetazidine per milliliter, which he said was “clearly not trace amounts.” “That seems to be, particularly for a 15-year-old, a pretty deliberate cocktail of substances,” Tygart said. “These new facts - the level, the other substances

being used - clearly suggest something far more nefarious than just an innocent contamination.” During a hearing, according to an audio recording cited in the document, Valieva’s explanation for her positive test was that her grandfather was a regular user of trimetazidine, the banned heart medication, to which she “must have somehow been inadvertently exposed.” According to WADA’s filing, Valieva’s grandfather appeared in recorded video taken in a car, and he claimed to use trimetazidine when he suffered from “attacks,” and he showed a packet of the medication to the camera. Valieva’s mother testified that her daughter spends significant time with her grandfather. According to the filing, two experts claimed that the concentration of the substance in Valieva’s sample was “compatible with contamination,” but they conceded that it was “also compatible with the end of the excretion period after a full dose of trimetazidine.” WADA argued in its filing that “it is not sufficient for an athlete to simply identify a potential source” for how the substance was found in her sample. The anti-doping agency claimed that Valieva fell “well short of establishing that her grandfather’s medication was the source of the trimetazidine” and that “there is inadequate evidence that her grandfather was even using trimetazidine.” The lawyer whom the document identified as representing Valieva did not respond to a request seeking comment. A WADA spokesman said Tuesday evening that the agency had no new comment on the case. Valieva’s doping case remains ongoing. The court ruling that allowed her to compete was only meant to determine her eligibility in Beijing. She has already led the Russian Olympic Committee to the gold medal in the team event, and she’s on her way to another medal in the women’s competition. But the International Olympic Committee has already said it will not award medals in the team event or in the women’s competition, if Valieva is among the top three finishers, until her case is resolved. That’s a rare, drastic measure that seems to indicate Olympic officials are considering the possibility that Valieva will be retroactively disqualified.

Running out of chances, Mikaela Shiffrin aims to salvage her Olympics in combined Dave Sheinin The Washington Post

YANQING, China — If it seems as if you have seen and heard more about Mikaela Shiffrin during these Beijing Winter Olympics than any other Alpine skier, even those having a better Games than she is (a designation which, entering Thursday, included anyone with a medal of any color), it is not only the NBC hype machine and the swirling opinions of armchair psychiatrists that have made it so. It is also Shiffrin’s own ambitions. No one has attempted a busier Alpine skiing program than the one Shiffrin is aiming for at these Games, because one does not exist. Her start Thursday in the women’s Alpine combined at National Alpine Skiing Centre will mark her fifth individual event - as many as are available to her - and Saturday, she will add a sixth event, the mixed team race. Only one skier, Shiffrin’s rival Petra Vlhova of Slovakia has skied all six races in one Olympics - at PyeongChang 2018, the year the mixed team event was introduced - and Vlhova’s Beijing Games are finished because of an ankle injury. While Shiffrin, the most accomplished and versatile skier in the world, thus far has been shut out of the medal stand in her four trips to the starting gate - failing to finish either of her first runs in the slalom and giant slalom and placing ninth in the super-G and 18th in the downhill - she still can salvage her Olympics, and there are even some signs that such a thing could be coming. On Wednesday, while 24-year-old Frenchman Clement Noel was winning the men’s slalom on the Ice River course at National Alpine Skiing Centre, another interesting development was taking place at the faster, steeper course called The Rock just over a ridge. There, Shiffrin, 26, skied a blistering downhill training run that led the field by nearly a full second on the eve of the combined event, which features one downhill run and

one slalom. Shiffrin took silver in the event in PyeongChang in 2018 and won at last year’s world championships. Though just 14 skiers from the field of 26 in the combined took a downhill training run Wednesday, the list included most of the top competitors, including Switzerland’s Michelle Gisin and Wendy Holdener. Four years ago in PyeongChang, Shiffrin shared the podium with the Swiss teammates in the combined: Gisin earning gold and Holdener bronze. While training runs are notoriously poor predictors of success, Shiffrin’s time of 1:33.56 Wednesday was also more than three-quarters of a second faster than her time two days earlier in the downhill (1:34.36), the weakest individual discipline in her skill-set and one she had not raced in an Olympics until this month. Had she posted the same time Monday, it would have leapfrogged her past seven competitors and into 11th place. “The number one lesson many people learn at the Olympic Games [is] that there’s no guarantee for anything performance or results. But every day I get on this track and am able to do a solid run top to bottom, it gives me a chance to be a little bit more calm in my mind,” Shiffrin said of the downhill course. “I tend to think way too much, and that makes it hard to ski freely. But I kind of have to think, because I haven’t really practiced downhill in two years.” Because of Shiffrin’s prowess as a slalom skier - having won a record 47 World Cup races in that discipline, plus an Olympic gold medal in Sochi in 2014 - it is widely assumed a downhill run like the one she unleashed in Wednesday’s training, plus a representative slalom run that sees her make it to the finish line, would result in a medal for sure. Perhaps even a third career gold, something no U.S. Alpine skier has ever accomplished. But little has gone as expected for Shiffrin here, a reality that has dampened not only her own Olympics, but that of

Team USA, which was counting on her to pad its medals total. Through the first 10 days of the Beijing Games, Ryan Cochran-Siegle’s silver in the men’s super-G stands as the Americans’ only Alpine medal and River Radamus’s fourth in the giant slalom the only close call. In five races here, Team USA hasn’t so much as placed a skier in the top 10, and it failed to enter anyone in the men’s combined for the first time. On Wednesday, Luke Winters, Team USA’s only entry in the men’s slalom - the fewest skiers the Americans have ever entered in that event - skied out seconds into his run, ending his long-shot hopes of sneaking onto the podium and underscoring the Americans’ drought in an event in which they haven’t medaled since Phil and Steve Maher won gold and silver, respectively, in 1984. If it hardly seems fair for Shiffrin to carry the entire U.S. Alpine team on her back, she has at least been open and honest, perhaps to the point of oversharing, about her own expectations and disappointments. Though she did not speak to the media following her training run Wednesday, she has used those disappointments to draw connections to the many people she says have reached out to her. “I would never have expected to feel in this moment - severely underperforming in an Olympics - [that] humans could be so kind,” she told NBC after the ninth-place finish in the super-G. “I never would’ve expected that the most surprising thing of my Olympic experience is how kind people have been in the face of my failure. “I mean, it is a failure. It’s OK to say that. I am OK with that, and I’m sorry for it. But I was also trying, and I’m proud of that.” On Thursday, despite everything that has happened to her here, Shiffrin will be back in the starting gate at the top of the mountain. There is still a chance for her to flip the narrative, but where her ambitions in these Olympics once held so much promise, she now is running out of chances.

With or without NHL players, the U.S. men’s hockey loss made grown men cry Barry Svrluga The Washington Post

BEIJING — When Strauss Mann stood alone in his crease, protecting an American net that no longer needed protecting, it didn’t matter that Auston Matthews was back in Toronto, awaiting a Thursday date for his Maple Leafs against the Pittsburgh Penguins. It didn’t matter that Patrick Kane was in Chicago with his Blackhawks, who were due to host Columbus Thursday, too. Mann just stood there, his Olympics over. At the opposite end of the ice Wednesday afternoon at National Indoor Stadium, Andy Miele, the captain of the U.S. men’s hockey team, was the fifth American skater to try to beat Slovakian goalie Patrik Rybar in a shootout. When Rybar stuffed Miele’s forehand attempt, he became the fifth American skater to fail. That was enough to eliminate the

United States from the tournament, a 3-2 shootout loss in the quarterfinals that felt as if it came too early, far too early. “We really felt like we had a lot more in us than just the quarters,” Mann said. “I think everyone watching could probably feel that as well. But you can’t script it up how you want it every time, and life and hockey are about learning things and taking what life gives you and trying to make lemonade out of lemons, I guess.” There’s something in that summation that speaks to the entire Olympic tournament - trying to make something sweet and special when the ingredients changed at the last minute. Mann is 23. He played his college hockey at Michigan and now plays professionally in Sweden. He was not supposed to be here. Neither was Nick Abruzzese, the forward from Harvard who scored the Americans’ first goal. Neither was Sam

Hentges, another forward who plays collegiately at St. Cloud State and put the United States up 2-1 in the second period. This was supposed to be a tournament full of NHL talent, with the accompanying attention and prestige. An American team led by Matthews facing a Canadian team led by Connor McDavid, with a German team featuring Leon Draisaitl and a Russian team with Alex Ovechkin - that’s marquee stuff. What happened here is not that, and that’s no one’s fault - least of all the American players who heaved and gasped their way through 60 minutes of regulation, a frantic 10-minute three-on-three overtime in which the whistle scarcely blew and then five shootout attempts for each team. That’s a full day in the midst of a tough tournament, and the hockey was absolutely entertaining.

But the best of the Olympics means the best the world has to offer. It’s why, in the Summer Games, the women’s soccer tournament is a featured event and the men’s is something of an afterthought. The women field teams of the best players on the planet. The men are the best on the planet - as long as all but three of them per team are under 23. The kids who pull on the soccer jerseys of their countries care deeply, and the product can be entertaining. Yet the entire operation is informed more by who isn’t there than who is. That was the same with the men’s hockey here. The NHL had agreed to send its players. There are none better on earth, and they were thrilled about the chance. But when the coronavirus began to cancel regular season games, the league had to decide its priorities.

to this rubber match-up with the Bluehawks’ rivals the Cats, and he had it wrapped up with taped anchored on his wrist. Maines did not enter the game for Hudson for the entire second quarter. Christian Burgos made a jump shot to tie the game after a turnover by the Cats. Lucas Konsul put back a miss by Azar Brantley to end the half and give Catskill a 2723 lead. Isaiah Maines returned to action in the second half, his thumb and wrist still taped. Maines knocked down a three point shot to pull the Bluehawks within three points of the lead, but the Cats stayed aggressive throughout the third quarter. Kellen Gibbs made a number of key baskets down along the baseline for Catskill and they led 39-31 through three quarters. Sean Haye had a huge block on a shot attempt by Maines early in the fourth quarter. Keith Robinson hit a three pointer and Cunningham made two free throws to bring Hudson within four. Azar Brantley answered with a three ball of his own for Catskill shortly thereafter. Jordan Cunningham jumped up for a rebound and came down very hard, landing flat on his back inside the painted area. After a brief moment, Cunningham got helped to his feet by coach Shawn Briscoe and he walked to the bench under his own power. Maines then knocked down a three pointer to keep the Bluehawks within striking distance, and Cunningham returned to play with under four minutes left in regulation. Dezmond Wallace made a nice turnaround shot off the backboard for two points, and Hudson trailed by just three, 46-43 with 44.3 on the clock. Maines stepped back and made still another shot from beyond the arc to get the Bluehawks within one, 47-46 with 25 seconds left. Catskill’s Jacob Devlin was fouled by Connor Tomaso and he made both shots on the one-andone to put the Cats up by three points. Maines got the ball off an inbounds pass and threw up an awkward shot from beyond the three point line, and it went in to tie the game 49-49 with 4.5 remaining. The Cats got it to Devlin for a shot from beyond half court on the final play of regulation,

Some players weren’t surprised that spring training is already experiencing delays. “It’s not shocking, but it is very disappointing,” said A’s pitcher Chris Bassitt. “The game has such exciting players currently and for us to not be on time is a complete failure.” Spring is around the corner with no baseball in sight. How much longer will this last? Here’s a look at some questions surrounding the season. What’s the latest on labor negotiations right now? A large gap separates the MLB and the MLBPA from coming to terms on a new collective bargaining agreement.

and the ball banked off the glass and ricocheted off the rim to send the game to overtime. Cunningham slashed to the rim to start the overtime period and score the first basket for Hudson. Maines got his hand on a three point attempt by Azar Brantley, but Brantley made a floater on his next chance with the ball to tie the game at 51-51. Cunningham responded with a three point shot and Brantley answered back with a layup after a nicely executed Euro-step to get past the Hudson defense in the paint. Haye and Brantley each missed one of two shots at the line in the final minute, and Maines hit his next four foul shots to put the Bluehawks up by five with 20 seconds to go. Devlin made a quick shot for two points and the Cats called a timeout to set up for the final few plays of overtime trailing by three points. Keith Robinson was fouled and sent to the line where he made one of two. Sean Haye made a three from the top of the arc after a rebound on a missed shot came right to him, but Robinson’s free throw was the difference maker at the buzzer and Hudson won by

one point 61-60 to take third place in the Patroon Conference. “Typical Hudson-Catskill

Major League Baseball presented the players’ union with a proposal on Saturday that did not go over well, according to reports. The players will need to respond in a meeting that has not yet been scheduled. Things are moving slow. Among the economic part of the league’s latest proposal was a $5 million increase in the pre-arbitration bonus pool, but a major gap remains with the union asking for a $100 million bonus pool and the league sitting at $15 million. The union’s priority is for the league to significantly up the luxury tax threshold, with proposals to have the first tax threshold jump from its current $210 million up to $245 million. But the league has pushed against that in their proposals, offering a $2 million threshold raise over three

of the next five years. (That means it would progress from $214 million, $214 million, $216 million, $218 million and $222 million as opposed to their initial offer of $214 million, $214 million, $214 million, $216 million and $220 million.) According to reports, the union is not pleased with those incremental changes. MLB and the owners also want to increase the tax rates on each tax threshold, bumping the first threshold from 20% to 50% -- a proposed change that drew the ire of Giants pitcher Alex Wood. Proposals from the league have moved the needle inches when there are miles to go to reach an agreement. How likely are the spring games in February or early March to be canceled/postponed? Those late-February and

game, came right down to the wire,” Hudson coach Shawn Briscoe said. “We came out a little slow, a little flat, but the

guys fought back, cut into that lead in the first half after being down big in the first quarter. The guys gritted it out, defensively. Like I told the guys before the game, I can’t remember the last time Hudson and Catskill played three times in a season, but tonight was more

than just for third place in the Patroon Conference, it was for those bragging rights all summer. I tip my hat off to them, though, they played hard, but we made some big shots down the stretch and that kind of sealed the deal for us.”

early-March games are fast approaching with no end to the CBA negotiations in sight. Though an agreement can be reached quickly at any time, both sides are far apart, pitchers and catchers report dates came and went without a blink and spring training games look far less likely to happen as scheduled. So the odds are high that scheduled spring training games will be postponed or canceled. Even if you made plans to watch the A’s and Giants play in Scottsdale on St. Patrick’s Day, more than a month from now, you may want to reconsider. When would Opening Day start to be jeopardized? The regular season is supposed to start March 31, and both sides have something to lose should the lockout creep into the regular season. Fewer

games means less revenue for the teams. And the players could lose some of their salary for games not played. Urgency to start the season on time hasn’t translated to negotiations. If the goal is to make spring training a month long -- players risk injury in a shorter spring training -- a deal must be struck sometime in early March at the latest for Opening Day to go on as scheduled. If talks don’t intensify between now and then -- unless spring training is shortened -- Opening Day could very well be in peril. What happens if the regular season doesn’t start on time? Shortened seasons aren’t unfamiliar territory in the age of COVID. If Opening Day doesn’t happen as scheduled, it’s possible they shorten the season depending on how

long it takes to reach a CBA deal. That would seem the most likely outcome -- in 2020, the league made sure to start the postseason in the fall and shorten the regular season to 60 games over playing a full 162 on a different timeline. What are the players up to? Indefinite delays aren’t unfamiliar for MLB players. They learned the hard way during the COVID-19 shutdown how to stay prepared and in shape outside of a team facility. Many stayed in shape at facilities near their homes, others built or used at-home gyms and workout plans to stay ready. Is there a chance they don’t play at all? Negotiations would need to come to a complete standstill for this to happen. Odds are, the season will happen ... eventually.

dominant in the first quarter as they came up with a number of steals. However after two straight turnovers themselves, the Panthers led just 13-7 through one quarter of play. Baccaro had a shot blocked in the paint in the opening moments of the second period which was surprising for the Chatham big man. Kyle Jackson found Tyler Kneller for two points off a steal, and then Thorsen came up with a loose ball he took on the drive to the hoop and made the bucket and earned a foul shot. Thorsen made the free throw to complete the three point play and give the Panthers an 18-12 lead over the Cannoneers. After Kneller completed a three point play of his own, Tyler Holloway scored five straight points for Watervliet and they tied it 21-21. The Panthers responded with a 10-0 run to close out the first half and take a 31-21 lead at the break. Matt Thorsen made a mid range shot early in the third period and followed it up with a three pointer on the following possession for the Panthers. Kneller then made a short jumper after the hesitation got him some space. Thorsen drained another three ball from the corner to put Chatham up by 16 as they looked to control the rest of the contest. The Panthers improved their passing in the quarter to keep the Cannoneers at bay and hold onto possessions longer to eat time off the clock. The Panthers went from Tobias Jeralds to Kneller, and from Kneller to Baccaro for two points inside the paint late in the third. Matt Thorsen knocked down another shot from beyond the arc to put a bow on his performance in the third quarter, scoring 13 of his 26 in the

period. The Panthers’ lead was 4935 at the start of the fourth quarter, but Watervliet was not going away quietly. Chaplin and Wilson both drained three pointers for the Cannoneers and they trailed 49-42 with 5:41 on the clock. Baccaro fought for an offensive rebound in the paint for Chatham, and muscled his way to the basket for a tough two points. Thorsen afforded the Panthers an extra chance with a rebound of his own and he laid it up and in. With Chatham up 53-50, Thorsen drove down the lane once again, pulling up short and floating it up this time for a critical two points. Watervliet called a timeout with

under a minute left, down 57-51. With very little time remaining, the Cannoneers were forced to start fouling in hopes that the Panthers would not make all of their free throws. But Kyle Jackson and Matt Thorsen were a combined 4/4 at the foul line in the final minute of play, keeping the game just out of reach for the Cannoneers. The four free throws sealed the deal for the Panthers, and Chatham won the Patroon Conference Tournament with a 61-51 victory over the Watervliet Cannoneers. “I’m proud of these kids,” Chatham coach J.B. Brantley said. “They worked hard and battled all season. We had a little adversity here and

there, but I’m just so proud of them. Had a little adversity tonight. We got up, Watervliet pushed us toward the end, but we answered with a couple of big plays. “A quarter of the way into the season, I thought maybe we could do something special with this group, make a run at this, but I knew we had to take it one game at a time, one practice at a time. This is such a group of great kids. They play for each other and they’re a tight-knit group that’s very supportive of each other. I have to give a lot of credit to our fans, too. They travel in packs and they’re just very supportive. They’re like the sixth player on the team.”

Cousin desperate to help woman in abusive romance Dear Abby, I have always been extremely close to my cousins; we even refer to ourselves as sisters. The problem I’m having is with the boyfriend of one of them. They have been dating for almost 10 years. For the first few years we were all close, and I enjoyed DEAR ABBY spending time with them. The past three years, however, have been heartbreaking. He’s rude to her and her mother and belittles and ridicules everything she says and does. We all walk on eggshells when he’s around, not to mention he constantly stares at our chests. They recently moved hours away for his job. I feel he has purposely isolated her from all of us, and is mentally and emotionally abusing her. She used to want to get married and have a family with him, but now she is calling me selfish for being pregnant. He’s dragging her down and has bought himself more time by getting her a dog. Even if they did get engaged, I’d feel sad she’s spending her life with this man. If he treats her like this in front of all of us, what is he doing behind closed doors? My cousin is very prideful and shuts down any criticism. How can I explain to her that I’m worried about her without risking our relationship? Scared For Her In The East

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Tell your cousin you love her dearly and will be saying this only once, so you want her to remember it. Then repeat to her what you have written to me. Explain that abusers erode the self-esteem of their “love object” through constant criticizing and belittling. Say you realize she has invested 10 years of her life in that relationship, but if she ever has doubts or changes her mind about living away from the family, you

will be there for her. Then give her the contact information of the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-7233; thehotline.org) if there have been any instances in which he has hit or threatened her — or the dog — when he’s angry. Dear Abby, My husband will not do things unless I “remind” him. He has a medical issue and experiences painful symptoms if he forgets to take the medication his doctor prescribed. He’ll then have a flare-up, take his medicine and not take it again until another flare-up happens. Also, he’ll need to have an important doctor’s appointment for a procedure and he won’t even think about making the call to schedule it. I used to remind him about all these things but, frankly, I’m not his mother. I’m his wife. Please help. Not His Mother Being a loving spouse requires us to fill varying roles in the life partnership. Not only are we lovers, best friends and sometimes nurses, but we must sometimes act as “parents.” It’s hard to believe someone who has a chronic condition that brings painful flare-ups would forget to take a medication that would avert them, which makes me wonder about your husband’s mentation. Doctor visits can sometimes be uncomfortable, which may be why he hesitates to schedule them. If you love him, please shoulder that responsibility as you would want him to do if the situation were reversed.

Horoscope

Zits

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are far more sensitive, introspective and even philosophical about yourself and your place in the world than anyone might guess, for you present yourself in a way that seems unequivocal, confident, strong, invulnerable and even at times aggressive — especially in pursuit of your career goals. The fact is that you are only able to present yourself in that manner because of all the thought and reflection that you apply to your life, inside and out, on a regular basis. This seeming dichotomy is really only relevant to your public persona; in private, you let people see the “real you” far more readily, and those who know you best know you almost as you know yourself. Also born on this date are: Michael Jordan, basketball player; Joseph Gordon-Levitt, actor; Larry the Cable Guy, comedian; Denise Richards, model and actress; Lou Diamond Phillips, actor; Hal Holbrook, actor; Jerry O’Connell, actor. 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, FEBRUARY 18 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — How long do you think you can keep up this current behavior with regard to an old friend? Today’s the day to put an end to it for good! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may not be able to do all you have to do on your own today, but you can surely assemble the right team to help you in all of your efforts. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’re eager to solve a certain personal mystery, but today you may be thwarted by someone who seeks to keep

you in the dark about it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Now is the time for you to make it very clear what it is you expect from those working with you. Those who aren’t helping are hindering you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You know what’s going on behind the scenes today, but you may not be able to make any adjustments until someone emerges from the wings. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may feel more remote today than you have at any time in memory, even if you’re not far from home. Your circumstances are getting you down. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You may have to stop what you are doing and schedule a repeat for a time when you will be less impacted by what others are doing around you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — A rather longstanding personal dilemma can be addressed in a new way today, bringing about a surprising solution. But is it permanent? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Questions arise today regarding something you did some time ago that you thought would go unnoticed. It may be time to pay the piper. SCOPRIO (Oct. 230-Nov. 21) — You’re going to have to streamline your thinking today if you want to wrap your head around a subject that others seem to understand well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — It’s not going to be entirely up to you to decide what shall be done about a complicated central issue. Whose help do you really want? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You’re in need of a little fun today, and you can have it — while at the same time tending to a piece of business that is long overdue.

SOUTH 1♣ 2♣ 2♠ 3♥ 5♣

three-heart bid showed a heart fragment that might be useful in no trump. North was not willing to give up on slam, so he cue-bid four diamonds. North finally gave up when South bid five clubs. Very impressive bidding. Our grandmother would have reached the ice-cold three no trump in four bids. The five-club contract had the same nine top tricks that were available in three no trump. A heart ruff would bring the total up to 10, so the contract seemed to depend on a favorable spade position. South, with skillful play, showed that the spade position was irrelevant. South won the opening diamond lead with dummy’s ace and ruffed a diamond high. He led a heart to dummy’s 10, losing to East’s queen, and ruffed the diamond continuation high. Declarer crossed to dummy with the ace of hearts, led a club to his queen, and ruffed his last heart in dummy. A club to his jack drew the last outstanding trump and South had eliminated both red suits from his hand and the dummy. South led a spade from his hand, intending to cover any card played by West. He played dummy’s seven, losing to East’s eight, but East had to yield a ruff-sluff or lead a spade into dummy’s ace-queen. Making five. Nicely played!
