Driver fleeing police slams into deer By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

A woman is facing multiple charges, after she allegedly fled from police in Catskill on Saturday morning.

CATSKILL — A woman from Fulton County is facing a list of charges following a police pursuit over the weekend in Greene County that ended with a car striking a deer, according to state police. Ashley Drum, 38, of Johnstown, attempted to flee from police in her car in Catskill and on foot in Durham, said Steven Nevel, public information officer for state police Troop F on

Monday. On Saturday, at about 12:07 a.m., police attempted to stop a 2019 Subaru Legacy driven by Drum on Route 23B in the town of Catskill for vehicle and traffic violations. Drum did not comply and fled the scene with troopers following her, Nevel said. For safety reasons, troopers discontinued their pursuit but provided other police in the area a description of Drum’s car. A short time later, troopers observed the vehicle on

Route 145 in Durham. The car had heavy front-end damage and a mutilated deer was found near the car on the side of the road, Nevel said. Drum then attempted to flee the area on foot. She was taken into custody quickly and was found to be in possession of a small amount of crack-cocaine, Nevel said. Drum was charged with second-degree reckless endangerment, a class A misdemeanor, third-degree fleeing an officer in a motor vehicle and seventh-degree

criminal possession of a controlled substance, both class A misdemeanors, and reckless driving, a class U misdemeanor, Nevel said. Drum was issued appearance tickets for Catskill Town Court. According to New York Penal Law, a person is guilty of third-degree unlawfully fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle if, after being directed to stop your vehicle by a police officer by See DRIVER A8

The Catskill Republican Committee has chosen Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy Jay Lucas to replace the late Jack Keller on the Greene County Legislature.

By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Greene County Sheriff’s Deputy Jay Lucas has received the endorsement from the Catskill Republican Committee to succeed Jack Keller on the Greene County Legislature. The Legislature will weigh the nomination during a special meeting on Wednesday at 6 p.m. After Keller died Dec. 30, the Town of Catskill Republican Party was tasked with

nominating a replacement to serve out the duration of Keller’s unexpired three-year term on the board, which was slated to begin four days after his death. Greene County Legislator Matthew Luvera, R-Catskill, who serves as chairman of the Catskill Republican Committee, said Monday the committee had chosen Lucas to fill Keller’s seat. “The Catskill Republican Committee met last week and selected Jay Lucas to fill the

vacancy,” Luvera said. “Jay is a dedicated member of the community, serving as a sheriff’s deputy for many years, and I know he will do a great job continuing his service to the community at the legislative level.” Lucas, 67, has worked for the Greene County Sheriff’s Office for the past 36 years, but he plans to retire Feb. 1 in advance of the Legislature’s vote on his confirmation. County law forbids public employees from

Greene County hospitalizations declining By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

COVID-related hospitalization rates in Greene County have fallen to 28 patients as of Jan. 6.

CATSKILL — As active COVID-19 case numbers in Greene County began to decline over the past two weeks, the number of residents hospitalized due to COVID remained at levels similar to those seen at the time of the omicron

surge. But hospitalization numbers in the county are now dropping. As of Monday, hospitalizations have fallen to 28 patients with COVID-related illnesses, down from the winter high of 44 that was recorded Jan. 6. Greene County Administrator

Shaun Groden, who noted last week that he was waiting to see a decline in hospitalizations in correlation with the falling active case numbers, said he was encouraged by the latest figures. “That would definitely indicate a See GREENE A8

Proposals for tackling climate change are emerging as an area of Democratic unity that could reach the congressional finish line and potentially bring with them at least some other measures in the party’s budget reconciliation bill.

It’s time for the Senate to act.” When combined with state and federal actions, as well as private sector moves, passing those climate provisions would help realize the Biden administration’s goal of cutting emissions by at least 50% from peak levels by 2030, said Trevor Higgins, vice president of climate policy at the Center for American Progress. The bill’s clean electricity tax credits are central to decarbonizing the power sector, he said, and helping the country compete with China in areas such as solar power and battery storage. The bill would help cut energy costs, improve domestic manufacturing and “put victory within reach” on emissions reductions. “Investments are important not because they do the job by themselves but because they make it possible for all the other policies and technical innovations and things like private actions that are planned -- it makes all of those more costeffective, easier to attain, and it kind of moves the whole system along at once,” Higgins said. One example is how the bill’s credits for electric vehicles wouldn’t have to stand on their own. Instead, they would support the administration’s move to bolster vehicle emission standards by making it easier for consumers to purchase plug-in cars and trucks and thereby encourage manufacturers to produce them. And the compromise version of the methane fee would help support the administration’s move to implement new methane-related regulations.

NEW YORK -- Unvaccinated NYPD officers currently on unpaid leave after a sweeping COVID-19 vaccine mandate late last year will be fired next month if they don’t get the jab, the Daily News has learned. Officers who have refused the shot have until Feb. 11 to comply, according to a memo sent out to NYPD sergeants by Sergeants Benevolent Association president Vincent Vallelong. Members of the department who had not gotten at least one vaccine dose were put on unpaid leave Nov. 1 following the

citywide vaccine mandate for all municipal employees. The memo makes clear that new NYPD hires who have not provided proof of vaccination and those officers on unpaid leave who have refused the shot will be notified Monday of the new February deadline to get the jab or face termination. The move does not apply to members of the department who have been granted a religious or medical exemption, nor to those who are waiting for their accommodation appeal to be approved, according to the memo. Officers awaiting a decision on their medical or

religious exemption will continue to be tested regularly and are expected to wear masks. Cops who have not yet forked over proof of a second vaccine -- barring Johnson and Johnson’s one and done jab -- will need to do so or get their second dose, the memo demands. However, the memo states that a termination date for cops out of compliance has not yet been determined. “Every avenue has been exhausted by Law Enforcement and others across the country in the courts, we have lost at every turn,” Vallelong wrote in the email blast. “With this in mind,

US approaches 900,000 COVID deaths Theresa Braine New York Daily News

The U.S. is just days away from seeing 900,000 deaths due to COVID-19, and a million deaths are on the horizon, public health experts said this weekend. As of late Sunday afternoon, 884,223 people in the country had died of COVID-19, according to Johns Hopkins University data, with 74.3 million infected. Death tolls during the current COVID-19 surge fueled by the omicron variant of the novel coronavirus are surpassing the average daily tolls from a few

months ago, when the delta variant was dominating the pandemic. “That will cause a lot of soul searching,” University of California, Irvine public health professor Andrew Noymer told USA Today of the inevitability of a million deaths. “There will be a lot of discussion about what we could have done differently, how many of the deaths were preventable.” Deaths in the U.S. from COVID-19 have topped 2,100 a day, the highest in nearly a year, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday. Two months ago,

before omicron was detected, the seven-day average for newly reported deaths was about 1,000 less than the 2,191 reached last Monday. While omicron appears to cause milder illness than other variants, especially delta, the sheer number of omicron patients, especially those who steadfastly refuse to get vaccinated, is driving up the totals, public health experts said.

I ask you to take the proper steps to ensure that whatever decision you make is best for you and your families.” Days before the sweeping mandate went into effect, the Police Benevolent Association, which represents about 24,000 NYPD officers, sued the city to block the order. A state Supreme Court judge quickly refused to pause the directive. A NYPD spokesperson on Sunday night said he had been made aware of the memo. (C)2022 New York Daily News. Visit at nydailynews.com.

Farmers criticize decision on 40-hour overtime By Kate Lisa Johnson Newspaper Corp.

ALBANY — Farmers will fight the Labor Department’s Farm Workers Wage Board’s vote to reduce the overtime threshold for New York farm workers to 40 hours, they said Monday, with plans to petition Gov. Kathy Hochul and other state agencies to reverse the decision. Two of the three members on the Wage Board voted late Friday to reduce the overtime threshold from 60 hours down to 40 over the next decade, reducing the threshold by four hours every two years. 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 MARK GUTMAN/DAILY NEWS FILE PHOTO threshold in effect Jan. 1, 2032.

CAIRO — A Greene County woman was arrested on felony charges for allegedly assaulting another person with a knife, said Beau Duffy, director of information for state police. Rebekah Briggs, 40, of Purling, is accused of assaulting one person with a knife by slicing that person in the arm and then assaulting a second person who tried to intervene, Duffy said. Police did not release details on the severity of the victim’s wounds. The incident took place at a home on South Road during a domestic dispute, Duffy said. On Wednesday, at about 4:39 p.m., state police were sent by Greene County 911 to the residence, after they received a report of a domestic

incident. An investigation at the scene indicated Briggs had assaulted the two victims, Duffy said.

credits for eligible farms to recoup expansion costs after tax liabilities. “It’d be much better if this was refundable,” Ooms said. Fisher is pleased with the increase, but said farms could face hundreds of thousands of dollars in overtime costs before they’ll receive the benefit potentially more than a year later. Williams also voiced concern about language in the governor’s budget about Extended Producer Responsibility, or packaging users and manufacturers responsible for the packing they use. “It really seems to be tailored toward the much larger producers like Amazon ... not at small family arm wineries or dairy processors,” he said. Ooms noted the need to fight for eased regulations to increase the number of U.S. Department of Agriculturecertified meat processors to alleviate pressure on farmers while supply chains continue to suffer a backlog amid ongoing market disruptions. “If we had more options in New York, including for other commodities like fruits, vegetables and seafood, that could alleviate delays and give farmers more options in this state,” Ooms said. Representatives from the state Department of Agriculture & Markets did not return a request for comment as of press time Monday afternoon. The Wage Board was originally set to make a decision on reducing the threshold to 40 hours by Dec. 13 after more than a two-year debate on the issue, but Labor Department executives heard hours to testimony from hundreds of New Yorkers at this month’s hearings before voting unannounced late Friday.

OUR VIEW

Time to stop the land grab Greene County lawmakers have reaffirmed their stand in favor of limiting future New York City land acquisitions in the upstate watershed region including the mountaintop region in western Greene County. A report prepared in August of 2020 by a National Academies expert panel recommended that expenditures in the city’s land acquisition program be reduced to fund other programs that will lead to more direct improvements in New York City’s water quality. The Greene County Legislature is asking the city develop a new long-term land acquisition plan, which would cover 2022 and 2023 and consider the findings of the 2020 report. County lawmakers want the city to refrain from entering into new contracts under the land acquisition plan in Greene County through the completion of the permitting process. Windham Town Supervisor Thomas Hoyt pushed for the county to adopt the report’s findings and the Windham Town Board also passed a resolution in support of the land acquisition reduction at its Dec. 9 meeting. “We’re extremely pleased,” Hoyt said. “It just shows that we’re all in this together and that we’ve had enough with the land grab that has been going on for numerous years.” Hoyt said the city was aggressive in acquiring land in the watershed to supply water for the city since the original watershed agreement was signed in 1997: “We’re in New York City’s watershed and 20 years ago they spent $300 million buying land within the whole watershed in Delaware, Sullivan and Ulster counties.” However, when the plan was up for renewal in 2007, watershed communities said New York City only wanted to spend $50 million instead of $300 million because “they were gobbling up too much land,” Hoyt said. “So they had a deal to spend $50 million and start this pilot program where they

were just going to buy within stream corridors and a buffer zone,” Hoyt said. “But in dealing with New York City, it turned out that they reneged on the deal. They went for another $300 million.” The outcome was that the city purchased more land for the water program than was originally anticipated. “Their original intention was to only buy 80,000 acres in the watershed but now they’ve bought up to 120,000 acres,” Hoyt said. The upshot is that, according to the National Academies report, no matter how much land the city buys, it doesn’t improve water quality. Now the city is pushing its streamsideonly acquisition plan, but when the city buys this land it gets turned over to the state Department of Environmental Conservation. Once the DEC possesses it, the state does not allow easements for utilities. Windham has two proposed subdivisions that will require the town to use property for detours to change culvert plates or access the stream for new maintenance. Easements are needed to do the work. Legislator Michael Bulich, R-Catskill, is absolutely right when he said the city’s land purchases could infringe on the rights of landowners in the watershed. “It looks like through the years that these small tributaries then run into the bigger streams, which then serve as a water source for the city. It looks like in the language of all of these agreements that they could potentially also acquire lands up these small tributaries.” Bulich said the city’s aims will impose significant restrictions on private landowners on the mountaintop. “I’m not supportive of that because it’s not very clear. If it’s not very clear by now, after this many years, I would not tend to trust them.” By mid-summer, the city is expected to outline its next 10-year plan. A great deal is now on the table for the city and Greene County. Lawmakers have chosen the right time to quench the city’s thirst.

ANOTHER VIEW

Biden proposes saddling an already struggling Federal Reserve with two political activists WASHINGTON — Today’s Federal Reserve illustrates this axiom: When a government entity cannot, or would rather not, adequately perform its primary function, or when it feels that its primary function is insufficiently grand, the agency will expand its mission, thereby distracting attention from its core inadequacy. Next Thursday, the Senate Banking Committee will hold confirmation hearings for two presidential nominees to the Federal Reserve Board — Lisa Cook, to a seat on the Fed’s Board of Governors, and Sarah Bloom Raskin, to be vice chair of the Board for bank supervision and regulation. Both would ratify the current Fed’s penchant for mission creep — actually, mission gallop. The Senate should tell both to express their abundant political passions through more suitable institutions. Cook is a Michigan State University professor whose peer-reviewed academic writings pertinent to monetary policy are, to be polite, thin. The White House noted that she “is on the Board of the Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.” She was put there two weeks before Biden proposed promoting her. But she strokes progressivism’s erogenous zones: She appears to favor racial reparations. And, evidently, defunding the police: When a University of Chicago economist criticized this idea in 2020, she termed the criticism “racial harassment” for which he should be fired as editor of the Journal of Political Economy and denied “access” to students. Putting Cook on the Fed’s board would be a travesty akin to President George W. Bush’s 2005 nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court. Raskin, of the Duke University School of Law, has different monomania: “climate risk” threatening the financial system. Does she mean huge, abrupt and unpredicted weather

events that will (herewith the flavor of her rhetoric) “flatten” the economy and “grind it to dust”? Or decades-long climate changes that she knows the system cannot adapt to? As part of a “broader reimagining of the economy,” the professor favors starving traditional energy companies that are hungry for credit: She advocated making fossil fuel companies ineligible for participation in the lending overseen by the Fed under the 2020 Cares Act. She anticipates “climate risk data” guiding the Fed’s asset purchases. And she hopes for “reimagined” fiduciary duty rules. And capital allocation toward government-approved, non-carbon, non-fossil fuel investments. There are many definitions of socialism, but its essence always is government, meaning political, allocation of capital. As the Fed in Washington wades waist-deep into politics, trickle-down politicization spreads into its regional banks. For example, Neel Kashkari, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, is campaigning for an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution that would create a “fundamental right to a quality education” and declare it a “paramount duty of the state to ensure quality public schools.” This is not partisan politics because it does not involve support for a particular party, but it is politics, for two reasons: It involves a policy agenda of public spending. And its patent motivation is to shift political power away from Minnesota’s legislature, toward courts that,

The noble moral crusaders of Tennessee’s McMinn County School Board have voted unanimously to remove Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel “Maus” from its English language curriculum, purportedly over concerns that the earnest and agonizing depiction of Polish Jews (cartoon mice) surviving the Nazis (cartoon cats) contains profanity and brief nudity.

(Though these are some of the same people who mock liberals for barring “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” because it contains the N-word, they and the censoring progressives are clearly kissing cousins.)

is capable to avoid any icky use of bad words. We understand, and in that vein would like to suggest some additional texts for consideration in the pantheon of shame. Herman Melville’s classic depiction of a man’s lifelong vendetta against a white whale sends a bad message to kids about coexistence. Plus, it’s got “dick” right in the name. Shakespeare can get quite raunchy (”Did you think I meant country matters?” quoth Hamlet), and there’s an awful lot of blood and death and witches — positively frightening stuff, and indulgent of the occult. The kids in “Lord of the Flies” set a pretty terrible example, and “To Kill a Mockingbird” depicts a sex crime and some themes that can be disturbing to Alabamians.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

As school boards start banning A change of the heart books, we have some suggestions New York Daily News (TNS)

by defining the word “quality,” would impose policies, thereby elbowing aside the legislature. Kashkari’s agitating for the amendment violates the Minneapolis bank’s code of conduct, which says that “although an employee may participate or may become involved in issues of general public concern or debate, the employee’s association with the Bank must not be publicized in connection with any political activity.” The Minneapolis Fed’s website proclaims the bank a “partner” of those campaigning for the amendment, which would enable lawsuits through which courts can construe “quality” public education as something requiring more money than the legislature is appropriating. A Minneapolis Fed spokesperson blithely says Minnesota’s educational disparities are “unacceptable” because they “impede” the Fed’s “mandate to achieve maximum employment.” There you have it: The Fed, having slipped the leash of its primary job — to preserve the currency as a store of value — now claims a roving commission to do whatever it wants. The Federal Reserve is an admirable reservoir of talent: Its economists constitute one of the world’s finest economic “faculties.” Fed Chair Jerome H. Powell should be mortified that political activists like Raskin and Cook are being insinuated into the Fed’s operations. And that Kashkari, who was once California Republicans’ gubernatorial nominee, feels free to bend the Fed to his political activities. When you ask for trouble, the world often obliges. Powell has invited trouble by sailing the Fed obedient to the winds of Washington fashion. Under him, the Fed is becoming the government’s Swiss Army knife -- an all-purpose tool. But with too many purposes to do its primary job adequately.

censorious society where reading material is tightly controlled by fanatical bureaucrats who want to eliminate even the possibility that citizens might experience any discomfort or question their social environment. (Can you even imagine living in a world like that?) All in all, it’s clear that we’ve been much too permissive in the books that we allow our teachers to teach and students to use. Children must be protected from these destructive texts. Perhaps students should be steered to the most wholesome book imaginable — one with no violence or nudity or vengeance in it, one all true conservatives embrace.

To the editor: The discarding of bronze Southern heroes on mighty horses. The erasure of flags that have historically perpetuated the acts of oppression. And the denunciation of everything that fosters the idea that one race is superior to another. The intent is to lift up a people who have been victimized by a powerful racist eye that is determined to quell the forward movement of any people of color and not allow them to pursue a dream for fear of losing power and control. I believe the removal of

symbols of hate is correct and worth the battle between the dissenters and those who chose to desire a more accepting and progressive cultural landscape. This historical cleansing can be easily dispatched but result in giving a false hope of progression and “changed minds.” It doesn’t help that the “web” can fester the strain between the voices of truth and those fear mongers that cloak themselves in the vail free speech. The striking of names from streets, university buildings and foundations, won’t make a meaningful difference for those

the actions are meant to help. The time is coming where historic leaders will be removed from currency, postage stamps and perhaps Mount Rushmore for what they were associated with in the past. This symbolic victory is symbolic alone. The change needs to come from within us. We should accept the fact that eliminating the pageantry of racist symbols doesn’t prevent what causes a man to scream, “I can’t breathe.” Gordon Pratt Kinderhook

Rachel Ott, Cairo-Durham Student of the month for December 2021 chose to be pictured here with some of her very favorite people Mrs. Marcus, Mr. Karker, Mr Hanley, Mr. Pangburn and Ms. O’Brien. As a junior in the district, Rachel is a positive role model, particularly for students with special needs. She works hard to keep her grades up and is extremely conscientious, never missing an assignment. Rachel has a great home support system and she says that her diligence comes from both teachers and her parents’ belief in her that she can do anything as long as she puts in the effort. Rachel loves to learn, and she loves to share this love of learning as well. In the classroom, she is always willing to support and aid her classmates, motivating them to demonstrate the excellent quality of work that she strives to demonstrate. All of Rachel’s teachers recognize her kind and giving soul, and the pleasure it is to have her in class. At CD, Rachel participated on the Unified Basketball Team and thoroughly enjoyed it. She loves music (especially the Jonas Brothers), artwork, holidays, and spending time with her family. Rachel’s desire to help others is best expressed in her own words. “I would love to help other students learn as much as they can.” After high school, she hopes to be able to work as a one on one aid or a teacher’s assistant in order to fulfill this dream of being supportive and advocating of others.

Molinaro leads rally against bail reform at Capitol By Kate Lisa Johnson Newspaper Corp.

ALBANY — Republican lawmakers joined Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro in the state Capitol on Monday urging Gov. Kathy Hochul to change or repeal the controversial cashless bail and discovery laws in her upcoming budget amendment as he builds his congressional campaign. Molinaro, 46, of Red Hook, led several members of the state Legislature in a rally against bail reform on the Million Dollar Staircase they’ve held several times before. “At the end of the day, if we’re going to confront criminal justice, you must also consider the justice due victims and their stories,” Molinaro said. The state’s changed its bail laws in 2019, limiting pretrial detention for most nonviolent crimes to make the system more equitable. The overhauls were amended in 2020 to make more serious offenses bail-eligible, such as criminally negligent homicide and manslaughter. Saratoga County District Attorney Karen Heggen, Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay, R-Pulaski; Sen. Sue Serino, R-Hyde Park; Sen. Daphne Jordan, RHalfmoon; Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-Schoharie; Assemblyman Jake Ashby, RCastleton; and several other lawmakers joined Molinaro on the staircase to plead with Hochul to include changes to the statutes in her 30-day budget amendment or have a conversation about the need to change the law. “Our judges are the ones who know best what to do to keep us safe,” Tague said. “By tying the hands of our judges, bail reform has deprived our communities of the means to keep dangerous people at bay. Across the political spectrum, we owe it to our constituents to put practical concerns before ideological

“A probation officer, a public defender, a district attorney with a judge, prior to cashless bail, could assess risk — not just dangerousness,... But most importantly, in that pre-trial instance, prior to cashless bail, professionals were able to provide protection to the victims, prevent crime committed against witnesses and intervene with a lower level offender in the hopes that we could help correct their behavior moving forward.” — Marcus Molinaro Dutchess County Executive

or partisan ones and do what is right to keep people safe.” Molinaro, a state assemblyman representing the 103rd District from 2006 to 2012, has held the position of Dutchess County executive since 2012, and said he refocused public safety investments to invest in early intervention, pretrial resources and law enforcement training to reduce crime and the number of people waiting in jail to be tried for low-level offenses. “A probation officer, a public defender, a district attorney with a judge, prior to cashless bail, could assess risk — not just dangerousness,” Molinaro added. “... But most importantly, in that pre-trial instance, prior to cashless bail, professionals were able to provide protection to the victims, prevent crime committed against witnesses and intervene with a lower level offender in the hopes that we could help correct their behavior moving forward.” Molinaro’s campaign to unseat U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, in November is heating up. Molinaro continues to be the sole Republican challenger fighting to the incumbent Democrat who was first elected in 2018. Representatives with Delgado’s office did not respond to multiple requests for comment Monday about the

state’s bail laws or the congressman’s plans to address public safety concerns. Gov. Hochul expressed a focus on fighting gun violence with the Interstate Task Force on Illegal Guns studying the reasons for the increase in violent incidents, but dismissed ties to the state’s bail laws, citing a lack of evidence. Homicides are below their peak of the 1990s, but increased in New York by 29% in 2020. About 77% involved a firearm. Cities across the nation — in states without bail reform changes — have seen a similar increase in armed burglaries, homicides, shootings and other violent incidents since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Recently released data from 2021 arraignments revealed about 2% of those out on bail were rearrested for a violent crime — a number that Republicans say is unacceptable. But accused offenders who post bail are rearrested at higher rates, according to the state Division of Criminal Justice Services. About 30%, or 906 of 2,986 people who posted bail in NYC were rearrested in 2020. In the rest of the state, about 32%, or 619 out of 1,963 people who posted bail, were rearrested. Hochul has stressed the need to stop the high number

Incoming Georgetown Law official placed on administrative leave for tweets about Supreme Court pick Lauren Lumpkin The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — An incoming Georgetown Law administrator, who last week apologized for a series of nowdeleted tweets about President Joe Biden’s promise to nominate a Black woman for the Supreme Court, has been placed on administrative leave, the law school’s dean said Monday. Ilya Shapiro, vice president and director of the Robert A. Levy Center for

Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute, was set to take over the law school’s Center for the Constitution as executive director on Tuesday. He was also hired as a senior lecturer. “I am writing to inform you that I have placed Ilya Shapiro on administrative leave, pending an investigation into whether he violated our policies and expectations on professional conduct, nondiscrimination, and anti-harassment, the results of which

will inform our next steps,” William M. Treanor, dean and executive vice president of the Georgetown University Law Center, wrote in an email to the law school community. “Pending the outcome of the investigation, he will remain on leave and not be on campus. This investigation will follow the procedures established by Georgetown University.” Shapiro did not immediately return a request for comment.

of illegal firearms flowing into New York from other states with more lenient gun regulations to address the recent surge in crime seen in cities across the nation without bail reform. Legislative leaders, including Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, D-Bronx; Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D-Yonkers; indicated over multiple days last week they do not intend to revisit the law this session. New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat and former New York Police Department captain, asked state legislators Monday to change the bail law to allow for more judicial discretion to determine accused offenders’ level of dangerousness.

Adirondack Council leader Robert I. Miller named 2021 NY Trustee of the hired by Park Agency Year by LeadingAge NY RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Council said it was both pleased and disappointed by the announcement that the Adirondack Park Agency had hired the Council’s Vice President for Conservation Megan Phillips to become the state agency’s new Deputy Director for Planning. “We are pleased that the APA recognized her talents and will assign Megan a key role in its efforts to protect the park,” said Adirondack Council Executive Director William C. Janeway. “But we are disappointed to be losing her talents here on our staff. She will be missed.” Phillips, who lives in Keene, was hired by the Adirondack Council nearly one year ago, after serving as a senior policy advisor to the Cuomo administration. The Adirondack Council is the largest environmental advocacy organization working full time to protect the Adirondack Park. Phillips came to the Adirondacks in May 2021 with more than a decade of experience in conservation, both in state government roles and a private organization in Wisconsin. At the Council, she

helped to double the size of the conservation team, which she oversaw. “The Adirondack Park Agency was in my portfolio during my former job in state government,” said Phillips. “I am very pleased to have the opportunity to return to government service inside the Adirondack Park. I love living here and look forward to working with the passionate and hardworking staff at the Park Agency.” The Council will begin a search for a permanent replacement. In the meantime, Associate Director of Conservation Jackie Bowen will become acting director of the Council’s four-person conservation team. “Jackie Bowen will do an excellent job of coordinating the efforts of our talented conservation team within this growing organization,” said Janeway. “Her skills and experience will complement those of our existing staff. Her conservation work in New York and her familiarity with the Adirondack Park gives us great confidence in her leadership qualities.” “I have always been

impressed with Jackie’s leadership abilities and thoughtful, interdisciplinary approach to the conservation team’s work,” added Phillips, “I am confident that the work will progress seamlessly under her direction. It is truly a remarkable and visionary team.” Prior to her service with the Governor’s office, Phillips served in roles at the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation; Department of State; and Department of Environmental Conservation. The Adirondack Council is a privately funded not-forprofit organization whose mission is to ensure the ecological integrity and wild character of the Adirondack Park. The Council envisions a Park with clean water and clean air, comprised of core wilderness areas, surrounded by farms and working forests, as well as vibrant communities. The Adirondack Council carries out its mission through research, education, advocacy, and legal action. Adirondack Council advocates live in all 50 United States.

UC San Diego freshman who fell to his death from dorm was intoxicated Gary Robbins

The San Diego Union-Tribune

SAN DIEGO — A University of California, San Diego freshman who died when he fell out of the window of a campus dormitory in October had a blood alcohol level of 0.27%, more than three times higher than the legal limit for operating a motor vehicle in California. An autopsy by the San Diego County medical examiner’s office also says that Aaron Fan, who was 18, tested “presumptive positive” for cannabinoids, substances found in the cannabis plant. But there was no determination as to whether he used marijuana in the hours or days before he died.

Baltimore Sun

BALTIMORE — Baltimore police are investigating an early Monday morning homicide that pushed the city to its deadliest January in about 50 years. The victim was found shot at around 1:51 a.m. on Morris Road in Southwest Baltimore’s Rosemont neighborhood, near Gwynns Falls/ Leakin Park, police said. The man, so far unidentified by police, was later pronounced dead. The victim is the 36th counted this month, marking

At least six historically Black colleges and universities received bomb threats early Monday, prompting campus closures and investigations. Howard University in Washington, D.C.; Bowie State University in Bowie, Maryland; Delaware State University in Dover, Delaware; Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida; Albany State University in Albany, Georgia; and Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge received reports of bomb threats throughout Monday morning, according to statements from the schools and local law enforcement. It’s the second time this month that numerous HBCUs reported such threats in a single day. In early January, at least eight historically Black colleges and universities received threats. There were no explosions then, and all of the schools reported all-clears by later in the day. It was not immediately clear whether Monday’s threats were connected. In a statement, the FBI said it is “aware of the series of bomb threats around the country and we are working with our law enforcement partners to address any potential threats.” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Monday that President Joe Biden is aware of the reports, though he had not yet received a formal briefing. “These are certainly disturbing,” Psaki said, adding that the White House is in touch with “interagency partners, including federal law enforcement leadership” and would continue to monitor reports. At Howard, which was among the schools that received a threat in early January, D.C. and university police issued an all-clear less

than two hours after a bomb threat was made at about 4:35 a.m. Bowie State University confirmed on Twitter that it would be closed Monday because of a bomb threat and said “emergency personnel are evaluating the situation.” The school advised anyone on campus to shelter in place until further notice and said classes would be held online. The Maryland State Police Department said Monday that it is leading the investigation and responded to the threat alongside the state fire marshal. Numerous local law enforcement agencies, as well as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, are assisting, according to state police. A phone call targeting the university with a bomb threat came in to the City of Bowie Police Department just before 6 a.m., prompting an investigation. “K9s will conduct sweeps of buildings and if discovered, mitigate any devices,” the Maryland State Fire Marshal tweeted. In a statement, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)

said it is “aware of bomb threats received by some Historically Black Colleges and Universities. We take all potential threats seriously and we regularly work with our law enforcement partners to determine the threat credibility.” Southern University and A&M College said Monday afternoon that after a “thorough search” by the university police department and other law enforcement, it had received an “all clear” following a morning bomb threat. The campus would remain closed for the day and resume normal operations and classes on Tuesday, said spokesperson Janene Tate. Albany State University said it received notice of a bomb threat Monday morning to academic buildings. Its campuses are closed until further notice, the school said, and an investigation is ongoing. Students and employees were urged to avoid campus until further notice. Delaware State University said university police are investigating after the school received a morning bomb

threat. Employees and commuter students were told not to report to campus, said university spokesperson Carlos Holmes, and residential students have been urged to remain in dorms. An alert sent to the campus community early Monday noted that university police are working alongside Dover police to investigate. Daytona Beach Police Department said Monday that it has cleared the BethuneCookman University campus of “any bomb threat.” Classes have been canceled and authorities are “asking the public to not come onto the BCU campus for the rest of the day unless it’s absolutely necessary,” the police department said. There will be police stationed on campus - including at entry and exit points - for the rest of the day, the department added, and students and staff were urged to stay off campus. The Washington Post’s Mariana Alfaro and Dana Hedgpeth contributed to this report.

Public Health announced the county has 128 active positive COVID cases, down starkly from the yearly high of 1,375 recorded Jan. 11. The county recorded its 108th death due to COVIDrelated illness over the weekend. The unidentified victim was a man in his 80s with comorbidity issues. He had been vaccinated against COVID but had not received a

booster shot at the time of his death. Greene County Public Health identified 91 new positive cases on Monday, with a 6.1% rate of positive tests in the county returning positive cases. The county has a 10.2 positivity rate over the past seven days. Public Health noted that due to limited testing capability, the number of positive

cases does not fully reflect the current illness level in the county. The county has recorded 9,380 COVID cases since the pandemic began in March 2020. Greene County Public Health is scheduled to host a COVID testing clinic Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon at 370 Mansion St. in Coxsackie. The department

was previously holding an additional weekly testing session on Mondays in Coxsackie, but the county has reduced the number of clinics due to the declining number of testing appointments made in recent weeks. “We’ll determine how many people show and what the positivity rate is to determine whether we’ll do one next week,” Groden said.

Prior to Thanksgiving, the county routinely recorded daily hospitalization rates in the teens, before rates began to increase, with 31 residents hospitalized as of Dec. 6. After hitting 44 hospitalizations on Jan. 6, the numbers plateaued in the 30s and 40s for three weeks until dipping to 28 hospitalizations on Jan. 27.

and has served as a committee member for the Catskill Republican Committee for the past 28 years. “I moved to Palenville when I was 6 years old,” he said. “So I did all my Little League and Cub Scouts and being an altar boy and everything right here in Palenville.” Lucas said it would be particularly meaningful to him to fill Keller’s seat, as the pair served together on the Catskill Republican Committee. “I knew him pretty well,” he said. “I met him probably 10 years ago and we became

friends.” Lucas has worked for years in the county office building on Main Street in Catskill, securing the entrance on the first floor where guests and legislators alike make their way into the building. “I’ve been in charge of security since the Greene County office building opened in 2004,” he said. “During my tenure I knew this was going to be the time I was about to retire and I want to further serve the people of Catskill and Greene County.” A lifetime member of the

Palenville Fire Department, Lucas said with his own retirement on the horizon he decided to seek the nomination for Keller’s vacant seat. “After the tragic death of Jack Keller, it was announced that if any registered Republican in the Town of Catskill wants to run, I chose to put my name in the ring,” he said. “I was thinking about

retiring and I wanted to continue to serve the people of Catskill and Greene County, so I thought I’d put my name in for this spot. I knew if I did get nominated I would resign from my job and continue my service to the people.” The Catskill Republican Committee will make its recommendation to the Legislature on Wednesday, but

lawmakers will make the final call on Lucas’ confirmation. “Since Jack was elected from Catskill, that committee took applications and did interviews,” Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said. “They’ll make a recommendation to the Legislature and the board will affirm or deny.”

Fan’s death has been ruled an accident. Campus authorities said Fan fell out of an eighthfloor bathroom window at Tioga Hall on Oct. 22 while the university was celebrating homecoming. The accident occurred at about 11:44 p.m. Fan was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, where he was pronounced dead early the following day. The accident occurred after a campus police officer entered the dorm room where Fan was located to investigate a noise complaint. Union-Tribune reporter Lyndsay Winkley contributed to this story.

COXSACKIE — C-A hosted Germantown in a rare Sunday morning game and earned a 61-53 non-league boys basketball victory. It was an 11 a.m. tip time on a cold, wintry day, but things heated up quickly. C-A defeated the Clippers by a wide margin just six days ago, but Germantown was not about to lay down on Sunday. The Clippers opened up a commanding 17-8 lead behind 15 first quarter points from senior Brad DelPozzo. C-A clawed back and closed the gap to 19-17 after one. C-A was celebrating Senior Night today, and the veterans showed their experience. Some full court, high intensity pressure forced the Clippers into some turnovers, and C-A grabbed a 2928 halftime lead. More pressure in the second half gave C-A a 45-41 lead heading into the final quarter. The C-A seniors were not to be denied, holding off several Clipper charges and came away with a 6153 victory.

Joe Burrow, Bengals interrupt Chiefs’ dynasty and now take aim at history Candace Buckner The Washington Post

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When the coin fell on the grass and showed tails, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow grimaced beneath his helmet as if it crushed his soul when it landed. A week earlier on this very field, a different team played the Kansas City Chiefs to overtime. And when the official requested that a visiting player from that team pick heads or tails, he chose heads and was wrong. Moments later, the Chiefs turned that coin flip into a touchdown drive and a rousing, magical win. So on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, you could forgive Burrow - known for his unflappable coolness - for letting an honest expression slip across his face when DAVID EULITT/GETTY IMAGES his backup also chose heads and he, too, Quarterback Joe Burrow (9) of the Cincinnati Bengals and defensive tackle Tyler Shelvin was wrong.

Giants hire Bills OC Brian Daboll to be next head coach

Pat Leonard

New York Daily News

NEW YORK — The Giants are going all-Bills. Buffalo offensive coordinator Brian Daboll agreed to be the 20th head coach in franchise history on Friday night, following new Giants GM Joe Schoen from upstate New York to North Jersey. Schoen, the Bills’ assistant GM the past five years, led a search that prioritized fixing a broken offense led by Daniel Jones and improving communication inside the building. Now Daboll, 46, the Giants’ first of six candidates interviewed, is the pick to help the GM address both. Daboll guided Bills 2018 first-round pick Josh Allen from a promising raw quarterback into the dominant force the nation watched in last week’s Divisional playoff loss to Kansas City. And Daboll’s familiarity with Schoen from four years as colleagues, plus the fact he’s a rookie head coach, “aligned” him best with Schoen’s “plan and vision,” a priority in the hire. “It is an honor and a privilege to be named head coach of the New York Giants,” Daboll said in a statement released by the team. “My immediate goal is to assemble a coaching staff -- a strong staff that emphasizes teaching and collaboration and making sure our players are put in the position to be their best and, ultimately, to win games.” The Giants’ decision went down to the wire and took an 11th-hour turn. Some of the Giants’ primary decision makers believed earlier in the week that Daboll was taking the Miami Dolphins’ job, where he was a leading candidate, as well, per sources. It was a “close call,” one source said. Ex-Dolphins head coach Brian Flores was a strong candidate that co-owner John Mara personally contacted last week to ensure he interviewed. Flores would have been the first Black head coach in Giants history. But choosing Daboll is proof that ownership ultimately followed through on its promise to let Schoen make the hire. The Giants did significant homework to look into the negative stories about Flores’ firing in Miami. And Schoen, who worked for the Dolphins from 2008-16, had plenty of contacts to get to the bottom of the situation. Flores is known as a strong-willed personality, which might have threatened Schoen’s authority. Daboll’s hiring is more in the mold of the Eagles’ setup with GM Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni, where the GM runs the show and the coach executes the plan. That’s in line with the setup Mara said the Giants wanted to create with Schoen: one in which the entire football operation, including the

coaching staff, reports to the GM. “We interviewed several people who are incredible coaches and all of whom are going to enjoy much more success in this league in their current positions and as a head coach,” Schoen said in a statement released by the team. “With that said, we -- me and ownership -- all felt Brian is the right person to serve as our head coach. “Over the last four years, I have observed firsthand Brian’s strengths as a leader,” the GM added. “He is an excellent communicator, intelligent, innovative, and hard working. Brian’s genuine and engaging personality is refreshing. He fosters relationships with the players and coaches around him. He is progressive in his vision and values collaboration, two of the attributes we think are essential.” Daboll, born in Welland, Ontario, and raised in Rochester, N.Y., is the second straight Giants head coach hired off the Bill Belichick Patriots coaching tree, following Joe Judge. He was a part of five Super Bowl teams during two stints with New England. Judge’s first pick for Giants offensive coordinator when he was hired in 2020 was Daboll, but he was already working with Allen in Buffalo and the organization preferred Jason Garrett. Judge was fired on Jan. 11 after two seasons. He became the third straight Giants coach to be fired

during or after his second season with the team, following Ben McAdoo and Pat Shurmur. A source said Daboll intends to bring recently fired Baltimore Ravens DC Don “Wink” Martindale as his Giants defensive coordinator. Giants defensive coordinator Pat Graham is still under contract, but it seems likely he will head elsewhere. He interviewed for the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator spot on Thursday and has a virtual head coaching interview on Saturday with the Minnesota Vikings. On offense, Daboll could bring Bills quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey as his offensive coordinator, but Buffalo also could promote Dorsey from within and prevent the hire. Regardless, the Giants hired Daboll in large part because they want to give Jones a better chance to prove he can be a franchise QB in year four, and they know Daboll can do better than the Giants’ 31st ranked offense the past two years. “First of all, Joe did a great job in lining up prospective head coaches,” co-owner Steve Tisch said in a statement released by the team. “It was an impressive group, which made this an incredibly difficult decision for John, Joe and me. In the end, it was obvious Brian has spent his career preparing for this moment. He is creative, thoughtful, determined, and Joe and Brian are the perfect complement to each other. We will do everything

we can to support their process as they build toward the 2022 season and well after that.” Mara said “it was clear” that Daboll’s “approach to coaching and team building was what we are looking for moving forward with our team.” “Brian has had tremendous experience in the NFL and has been part of multiple championship teams,” Mara added. “It is clear he used that experience to grow and develop into a dynamic leader, one that we are confident is the right fit as our head coach.” One fascinating element to this hire is it marks the Giants’ third straight attempt to hire a Belichick Patriots discipline in three consecutive cycles. They interviewed Josh McDaniels and Matt Patricia back in 2018 and wanted Patricia, but he chose the Lions, so they hired Pat Shurmur. Then they hired Judge in 2020. Now it’s Daboll in 2022. The Giants interviewed five head coaching candidates in person during this year’s hiring process: Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn on Monday, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll on Tuesday, Giants defensive coordinator Pat Graham on Wednesday, Flores on Thursday, and Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier on Friday. They also interviewed Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo virtually last Sunday. Daboll and Frazier were the only candidates to have two interviews, including virtual interviews last Friday and Saturday, respectively. Ultimately, Schoen and Daboll were the Giants’ first GM and head coach interviews, and they were the two men hired. Quinn was considered a strong candidate, but on Thursday, when the Denver Broncos hired Nathaniel Hackett and the Chicago Bears hired Matt Eberflus, Quinn abruptly removed himself from consideration with the Giants. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones suggested Quinn had turned down at least one coaching opportunity to stay in Dallas on a contract extension. It wasn’t clear if Quinn had been offered. No matter. Daboll is now the Giants’ head coach. The deal is done, and he understands the deal walking into a building where the Giants (2259) are tied for the worst record in the league with the Jets over the last five years. “I have a pretty good idea where our fan base’s feelings are right now, and I get it,” Daboll said. “I promise we will work our tails off to put a team on the field that you will be proud to support and give us the results we all want.”

Tom Brady to retire? National reports say yes, Bucs say hold on Rick Stroud Tampa Bay Times

TAMPA, Fla. — Tom Brady’s career highlights rolled across national media outlets Saturday. Some of his greatest moments from seven Super Bowl victories aired on the NFL Network. Former teammates took to social media to congratulate Brady on an unparalleled career after CBS, then ESPN reported that he had decided to retire after 22 seasons. TB12 Sports, his nutrition and fitness company, posted a tweet listing Brady’s career accomplishments and thanking him before deleting it. An hour after ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington reported Saturday afternoon that Brady is retiring, Bucs general manager Jason Licht received a telephone call from Brady who said he still wasn’t close to making a decision about his future. Coach Bruce Arians had not received any word about those plans from Brady or his agent. “No he hasn’t (retired) that we know of,” Arians told the Tampa Bay Times just minutes after the media reports. “Agent (Donald

Yee) just told us he hasn’t made up his mind.” Yee said Brady should comment on his future soon. “I understand the advance speculation about Tom’s future,” Yee said in a statement. “Without getting into the accuracy or inaccuracy of what’s being reported, Tom will be the only person to express his plans with complete accuracy. He knows the realities of the football business and planning calendar as well as anybody, so that should be soon.” Brady’s father, Tom Sr., told KRON-4 News in San Francisco that his son is not retiring. Brady Sr. said an online publication started circulating an unsubstantiated rumor. If Brady ultimately does decide to walk away from the NFL, he goes out on top. While the final season of his illustrious career didn’t end with confetti in his hair, he led the NFL in passing yards (5,316) and touchdowns (43) during the regular season, making the case that even at 44 years old, he was the best to do it at his position. Those closest to Brady say

that while he knows he can absolutely still play at a championship level, the desire to spend more time with his wife and three children has weighed on him to possibly end an unparalleled career after 22 seasons.

“Tom loves football, he loves everything about it and he pours all he has into being the best quarterback and leader for his coaches and teammates,” quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen told the Tampa

Bay Times. “But he also wants to be a Hall of Fame dad and a Hall of Fame husband. That’s just as important and probably more so than being a Hall of Fame quarterback.” In two seasons with the Bucs, Brady won 29 games as well as division, conference and the Super Bowl 55 titles. He would walk away in tremendous physical condition thanks to his TB12 fitness regimen as the greatest NFL player of all time with seven Super Bowl rings and 10 appearances in the league’s championship game. For the Bucs, it would be the end of a two-year fantasy. Reports of Brady’s possible retirement didn’t catch the Bucs completely off guard. Even though he was under contract for another year and had talked about playing until he was 45, they knew it was a possibility he could walk away at any time. If he is done, it would leave the Bucs in the market for another quarterback. The only one under contract with the Bucs is Kyle Trask, the Florida Gators star who was inactive every game during his rookie

season. Backup Blaine Gabbert is a free agent but would be an option. However, on Monday coach Bruce Arians talked about wanting to see which quarterback was behind “Door No. 2.” The Bucs were beset with injuries on both sides of the football in Year 2, but Brady was at his best, winning games with walk-off touchdown passes to Breshad Perriman (in overtime vs. Bills) and Cyril Grayson (at Jets). Injuries to the offensive line caused Brady to be hit 17 times by the Rams in last weekend’s 30-27 NFC division playoff loss. “It pains (my wife) to see me get hit out there,” Brady said on his most recent Let’s Go! podcast. “And she deserves what she needs from me as a husband and my kids deserve what they need from me as a dad. ... But not playing football, there’s a lot of joy in that for me also now, too, with my kids getting older and seeing them develop and grow.” Fans should know soon — officially — if he’ll step away for good to focus on his family.

Late field goal completes comeback, lifts Rams over 49ers in NFC title game Nicki Jhabvala The Washington Post

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Rainbowcolored signs and white party tents littered the parking lots, and the music from a DJ’s booth blared. Teasers of the big show were unavoidable, but few could have imagined the outcome of the pre-show Sunday night. Not even Matthew Stafford, who was traded to Los Angeles exactly one year earlier, or Von Miller, who was traded here less than three months ago, or his sidekick Odell Beckham Jr., who joined days later. After a back-and-forth battle between a pair of NFC West rivals, the Rams and their remade roster edged the San Francisco 49ers, 20-17, in the final minutes of the NFC championship game to earn a ticket to Super Bowl LVI, back at SoFi Stadium on Feb. 13. It was the Rams’ first victory over the 49ers in seven meetings, dating from 2018, and made them the first team in NFL history to host both a conference championship and a Super

Bowl in the same season. The close win, secured by a goahead field goal by kicker Matt Gay and sealed with an interception by linebacker Travin Howard, embodied Los Angeles’s season and was reflective of its quarterback and surrounding playmakers: gritty and resilient. While it wasn’t always pretty and it certainly didn’t look easy, the Rams got it done. “Today was a great sign of the resilience,” Rams Coach Sean McVay said. “. . . You got down 17-7, it doesn’t look good, but the guys just stayed in the moment. One play at a time. Did a great job. And the defense to be able to close it out. . . . There were just so many great plays by great players.” And somehow Cooper Kupp, their star wide receiver, made it all look simple. The 28-yard-old compiled 142 receiving yards a week after recording 183 in a divisional-round win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and set up the Rams for their go-ahead score in the final minutes.

But for 48 minutes, it was a tight battle, with one mistake, one play having the potential to alter the game. The Rams outgained the 49ers 396 yards to 282, but the biggest discrepancy was on third downs, where L.A. converted 11 of 18 attempts (61%), compared with only 3 of 9 (33%) by the 49ers. Jimmy Garoppolo, starting in possibly his final game as a 49er, finished 16 for 30 in passing for 232 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for an 87.1 passer rating. His counterpart, meanwhile, had 45 pass attempts, completing 31 of them for 337 yards, two touchdowns and interception for a 96.2 rating. Unlike Garoppolo, whose interception with 1:19 remaining in the game sealed the 49ers’ loss, Stafford’s pick came early, on the Rams’ opening drive. The quarterback tried to hit Kupp on a slant from the 49ers 3-yard line, but cornerback K’Waun Williams, who was glued to Kupp’s hip, swatted the ball at the edge of the goal line.

Safety Jimmie Ward caught the deflected pass and zigzagged upfield 23 yards. It wasn’t until the second quarter that both teams found the end zone. The Rams struck first, taking 18 plays and eating 9 minutes 33 seconds for Stafford to find his favorite target, Kupp, for a back-shoulder touchdown pass. But first, the two set it up on third and 13, with Kupp lined up out wide in a trips formation. Kupp put a doublemove on cornerback Ambry Thomas to gain a good two yards of separation as he turned to the sideline for a 15-yard catch. Three plays later, on another third and long, Stafford went deep again, finding Kupp wide open as he headed toward the right corner of the end zone. The 49ers responded in less than three minutes, thanks to a 31-yard pass from Garoppolo to Brandon Aiyuk, and later a 44-yard catch-and-run by Deebo Samuel, who took a reception in the flat and wove his way up field.

Samuel dodged three defenders, even stiff-armed 312-pound defensive lineman Greg Gaines, before diving over the pylon to tie the score at 7. The first half was controlled by the Rams, whose defense held the 49ers to only six first downs, and whose offense consumed 20 minutes and 19 seconds. Stafford attempted 24 passes compared with Garoppolo’s 12 in that span. Yet it was the 49ers who went into the break with the lead. Stafford missed Beckham on a deep ball to squander the Rams’ final drive of the half and leave enough time for San Francisco to take the lead. A couple of chunk plays - an 11-yard completion to tight end George Kittle and a 13-yarder to Aiyuk - set up a 38-yard field goal by Robbie Gould. But Garoppolo, among the more enigmatic quarterbacks, continued to defy logic in the third quarter, missing receivers on short slants or throwing high on in-breaking routes, before tossing a perfect deep ball to the end zone.

shot. Robinson missed a shot in close, but Hudson got the offensive rebound and Maines laid it in for two. Greenville took a timeout at 2:22 to slow things down a bit, trailing 11-4. Domermuth and Maines traded buckets out of the timeout, and Smith made a short floater at the buzzer to cut the Bluehawks’ lead to 13-10. A minute into the second period, Peyton Gergen made a short range jump shot right over Cunningham to bring Greenville within one. Cunningham responded on offense with a rebound off a miss by Maines, and putting up and in before his feet even touched the ground. Spartan Cody Thompson returned the favor to Taylor and blocked a shot on defense. Cunningham then made an incredible move as he drove into the painted area, shifting his momentum and body weight to get space for the layup. The Greenville defense had a couple steals that led to easy points for Motta at the other end. Motta drove into the paint and kicked it out to Smith in the corner for a three pointer and he drained it to cut the lead to one. Cunningham had another putback for two points, but Domermuth dribbled it up the court quickly and bounced it off the glass and in at the halftime buzzer for the lead 27-26 Greenville. Motta and Maines each made a basket in the opening moments of the third, but it was Robinson who then knocked down a shot from beyond the arc to tie the game 31-31. After trading the lead back and forth multiple times in the period, Motta failed to get a shot off for Greenville and Hudson took it the other way. Shortly thereafter, Desmond Wallace made a three pointer for the Bluehawks. Hudson could not put up a shot before the horn to increase their lead in the closing moments, however they took their 42-40 lead into the fourth. Liam Bowden knocked down a textbook step-back three for the Spartans to take the lead once again as the fourth quarter began. Gergen drew a foul for Greenville, and made both free throws to put them up by three. The Bluehawks only occasionally boxed out for rebounds throughout the contest, and they lacked in that department early in the fourth.

on offense to keep Greenville in front. Maines drove down the lane and dished it to Taylor again for another wide open layup and Hudson immediately called timeout after cutting the lead to one. Nick West nailed a three-ball for the Spartans but the Bluehawks answered with a three pointer of their own to stay within one possession. After multiple turnovers by both teams, Smith hit another three pointer to put the Spartans up by six. Cunningham made a two and the lead was back down to four. Robinson cut it to two with a shot from mid-range, and made a shot and the foul on the next possession. Robinson tied the game 5757 on the shot but the Spartans called a timeout before he took the foul shot which he missed. Greenville got it past half-court and called another timeout with 8.9 seconds left in regulation. Trey Smith stepped on the half-court line on the very next play and was called for a backcourt violation and a turnover. With only 6.9 remaining, Hudson could not get a decent look and Robinson threw up a desperation three that missed wildly and the game headed to overtime. Still tied at 57, Wallace missed a three point shot to open the overtime period for the Bluehawks. Maines was fouled on

a shot attempt, missed the first free throw and made the second. Cunningham then made a shot and was awarded the contact and a chance at a three point play. He let the heat of the moment get to him however, and got in the defender’s face after making the tough shot, and was given a technical foul. Cunningham made his free throw, but Smith made both technical foul shots and got the Spartans within two points of the lead. Jack Motta got the inbound pass on the next play and laid it in to tie the game 61-61. Hudson got lucky on the next play after throwing the ball away but it deflected off a Greenville player’s hand to stay Bluehawks’ ball. Maines made a shot for two points, but the Spartans answered and tied it again at the other end 63-63. Trying to hold for the final shot, Keith Robinson was open enough on the wing to fire off a shot from well beyond the three point line, and it went in to give Hudson the lead with 6.4 seconds remaining. The final play broke down for the Spartans in the closing seconds and they could not get a high percentage shot off.

Bengals

possible at halftime, after the Chiefs stood on the doorstep of the end zone in the closing minute of the second quarter and failed to put any points on the board. “That was a big play that our defense made,” Burrow said. The Chiefs spent the second half in a tailspin but evened the score as time expired. When they won the coin toss, it set up a repeat of last week’s Sunday fun day. The coin, that tiny, circular weapon that helped take down the Buffalo Bills a week ago, prompted Bills quarterback Josh Allen, watching from home, to tweet one word: “Pain.” It prompted Chiefs fans to make a wave of sound that gushed throughout the stadium. “Our guys were tired and stretched thin,” Bengals Coach Zac Taylor said of his

They weren’t supposed to win on this field, the place where postseason upsets come to die. The Chiefs had won six straight playoff games at Arrowhead, which was the longest active home winning streak in the league. And they weren’t supposed to beat this quarterback, the dynamic passer who appeared to be Tom Brady’s successor. Over the four years in which he rocketed to top billing - no television commercial break is safe without this guy pitching insurance or shampoo - Mahomes had lost to only one quarterback in the postseason. A quarterback who wasn’t really a quarterback at all but a goat masquerading in human flesh. Only Brady (2019 with the New England Patriots and last year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super

From B1

But a coin couldn’t hurt Burrow. It seems nothing at this point can stop him and these Bengals. Not the Chiefs and certainly not the decades of doubt and suffering that had tormented this franchise and its city. And because rookie kicker Evan McPherson boots game-winners like they’re chip shots and Burrow, who at this time last year was recovering from a torn ACL and MCL, smokes opponents as if they’re celebratory cigars, the underdogs shocked the standard-bearer of the AFC and created a sentence that seems too silly for anyone to comprehend: The Bengals won, 27-24, in

overtime of the AFC championship game, and they are going to the Super Bowl. “I wouldn’t call it surreal. I would say it’s exciting,” Burrow said. “I think if you would have told me before the season that we’d be going to the Super Bowl, I probably would have called you crazy.” There were so many moments early in the game when the Bengals’ Super Bowl chances seemed like lunacy. Such as when Patrick Mahomes wiggled out of pressure and then found Travis Kelce in the end zone. Or when he connected with wide receiver Mecole Hardman for the third touchdown and a 21-3 lead. But crazy turned into a comeback as Cincinnati scored 21 unanswered points and somehow held a 24-21 advantage in the fourth quarter. The rally seemed faintly

defense, which already had battled through a six-minute drive to end regulation. Mahomes shook off his coat as if he was ready to lead the Chiefs to a third straight Super Bowl appearance, then the unthinkable - he almost threw a pick-six. He followed that with an actual interception. Burrow, now displaying his usual visage of calm and control, took the field, and then the Bengals snatched the conference away from Kansas City’s clutches. No matter how much Burrow hated the narrative - sorry, bud, but the Bengals came into this game as the underdogs - he couldn’t do a thing to change people’s minds about who runs the AFC. The Bengals finished last in their division from 2018 to 2020 and are just two years removed from a dreadful two-win season.

Bowl) had bested Mahomes in the playoffs. That was it, the whole list. And now, with the 44-year-old Brady apparently on the way out and Ben Roethlisberger retiring, Mahomes seemed destined to fill the gap as the game’s best passer and brightest star. But along came Burrow and his 23-for-38 line with 250 yards and two touchdowns. He interrupted the Chiefs’ dynasty and then showed up to speak to the media wearing a black turtleneck, an iced-out “JB 9” necklace (“They’re definitely real; I make too much money to have fake ones,” he said of the diamonds) and the look of a man ready to make the unexpected, the inconceivable and the crazy very much possible.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Man’s crude behavior is a turn-off at home Dear Abby, My 55-year-old husband and I have been married more than 25 years. Our marriage has been challenging, but we now have three DEAR ABBY adult sons, one of whom has a chronic severe health condition. My biggest problem is my husband won’t stop pointing out how much he notices I’m aging. He says I’m going downhill. I don’t ask for his opinion or open the discussion. If I’m not “in the mood” after he has been staring at his phone for hours, probably looking at nude women as I’ve seen him do many times, he calls me a shriveled-up prune. He also constantly comments about younger women on TV, in the movies or even on the local news, and says things like, “Where’s that juicy young blonde who was on the news before?” Or he tells me how much I resemble an old woman on TV who looks like she’s 20 years older than I am. He says he loves me and hugs and kisses me every day, but then he acts so creepy I don’t want him touching me. He is really starting to disgust and confuse me. He knows how I feel about this. Now he’s telling me I’M crazy because of how I feel about his behavior. I have been told before that he has incurable narcissism. Fading In Washington

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Couples are supposed to love each other for who they are, not their appearance. Your husband is emotionally abusive. His hostility is blatant. That he would expect you to have sex with him after hours on his cellphone — and no

foreplay — is incredibly naive. Could he be deliberately trying to sabotage your marriage? A marriage and family therapist might be able to get to the bottom of this, but if counseling doesn’t help, you may have to let your adult sons fend for themselves. Dear Abby, I have this friend I have known since I was 9. She’s a very good friend, but she doesn’t get along with my boyfriend. They fight, and when they do, I’m stuck in the middle. I have spoken to both of them many times and asked them to coexist for my sake. They both try hard, but we all feel like we are walking on eggshells — especially me. How do I handle being with them?

I wish you had mentioned which one is causing these “fights.” Mature individuals opt to “agree to disagree” and change the subject, rather than allow an argument to degenerate into open conflict. Explain this to both of them, and the next time you are caught in the middle, ask the person who picked the fight to do that — or leave. And, if things don’t get better, celebrate with them separately as often as possible. Happy New Year to my Asian readers who celebrate the Lunar New Year: The Year of the Tiger begins today. Those born in the Year of the Tiger are brave, competitive, unpredictable and confident. Famous Tiger Year people are Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lady Gaga and Queen Elizabeth II. I am wishing a happy, healthy new year to all who are celebrating this holiday. — Love, Abby

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you have a way with words, but not everyone can understand you as you express yourself in your own manner. Because it is unwise, or even simply impossible, to go through life without communicating effectively to as many people as possible, you must be willing to adjust your natural mode of expression in order to maximize the comprehension of those to whom you speak — otherwise, much of what you say, and even do, will be lost on those who can only shake their heads at your attempts to get through to them. While you are likely to be widely admired and even imitated, you will also attract a fair share of criticism from those who simply don’t understand you and label you “aloof” or an “elitist.” Also born on this date are: Lisa Marie Presley, singer; Brandon Lee, actor; Clark Gable, actor; Rick James, singer; Pauly Shore, comedian; Sherman Hemsley, actor; Langston Hughes, writer; Don Everly, singer; Garrett Morris, actor and comedian. 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. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Your ability to adjust quickly to changing circumstances comes in handy today, but you may lose a certain battle during evening hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You cannot expect to overcome all obstacles at once today; you must take them one at a time, according to priorities previously set. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Give another an opportunity that you never had, and you’ll feel

that your contribution to their success has really made a difference. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may have to adapt to some new rules today — and quickly, too! This can be done, but you cannot expect to avoid slipping up once or twice. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It’s never too late to learn something new — but today it may be too late to put it to good use if you refuse to recognize a certain situation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Take care that you don’t throw something away today that is far more valuable to you than you know. A partner or friend straightens you out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You may have to work hard to balance form and function today, knowing full well that neither can be ignored. You have much to gain, possibly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Talk around the water cooler has you wondering if you are seen in the most positive light by all. It may be time to investigate. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You’ll benefit from someone’s knowledge today, but soon you’ll have to go it alone and prove you know just as much, if not more. Be diligent! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Something quite profound affects you today in a way that you might not have anticipated. Your immediate future looks different now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 31) — You cannot afford to give all that you have promised today — at least not all at once — but you can strike an acceptable new bargain. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You can step up and perform well today as someone else’s champion. The person in question will always hold a special place in your heart.

WEST Pass

NORTH 1NT

EAST 2♦
