Fire heavily damages Windham Mt. condo

By Bill Williams

Columbia-Greene Media

WINDHAM — Fire badly damaged a condominium at Windham Mountain Village on Sunday afternoon, Windham Fire Chief Ryan Dempsey said Monday. The condo, situated near a chairlift, is typically used by visiting skiers on weekend trips to the resort. At about 4:09 p.m., Greene County 911 sent Windham Fire Company to 1

Windham Mountain Village on Clarence D. Lane Road after receiving several phone calls reporting the location was on fire. When the first firefighters arrived on the scene, smoke was visible coming from the building. Fire officials requested mutual-aid assistance from Hensonville Fire Company. Catskill Fire Company, with its ladder truck, was placed on stand-by,

but was not needed. When firefighters entered, they encountered heavy fire inside, Dempsey said. Crews went to work extinguishing the blaze inside the home. A site to fill tankers was established at Windham Mountain. The fire was declared under control See FIRE A8

Animal passions: Woman’s love drives sanctuary By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

SAUGERTIES — A Saugerties woman who has dedicated her career to the wellbeing of farm animals has established a premier animal sanctuary in the town. Over the course of the last two decades Kathy Stevens has saved more than 5,000 farm animals through direct rescue at the Catskill Animal Sanctuary. Stevens left the education field to open the sanctuary driven by an abiding passion for animals. “They’re in my DNA,” she said of the sanctuary’s animals. “I grew up on a farm and I’ve known since I came out of the womb practically that there’s more to them than most people have the opportunity to understand. Also because it was a way of combining my two greatest passions, since my background was in teaching. Forming a sanctuary was a way of combining my love for animals with my love for teaching and farming.” Stevens founded the nonprofit sanctuary in 2001, and the site has expanded to its current 150-acre form.

sanctuary currently houses 11 different animal species, including pigs, cows and

chickens. “As the need to have more animals increased and as we

were financially able, we have actually bought over the years eight pieces of property that

are all contiguous,” Stevens said Monday. “We bought 80 acres, then 11 more, then 21

acres. So we did it like that. We started out with 80 and we’ve doubled our property over the years.” The animal sanctuary is open to the public for weekend tours, but visits from classes of local schoolchildren had to be halted when the pandemic began in the spring in 2020. Stevens said the sanctuary is eager to have schoolkids back on the grounds of the Saugerties sanctuary. “We actively work virtually with kids, but we hope to be able to resume on-site programming again, because there’s nothing like it.” Stevens said the sanctuary is working on a pilot program that will help people in need care for animals in the recipients’ own homes. “You can’t rescue your way out of this problem,” she said. “There will always be exponentially more animals than can be saved. We just went to a very elderly gentleman who was desperate for help with his 16 goats. We treated them for parasites and we trimmed their hooves and did blood work. We’ll be piloting that this year, as well as a program to hold people’s hands who want to become vegan as a way of being compassionate towards the animals and the environment and just need See ANIMAL A8

New Baltimore and Tannersville are set to each receive seven figures in interest-free loans for water projects after Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Saturday that the state has approved more than $725 million in funding to help municipalities with water infrastructure. As part of a round of funding from the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation Board of Directors, New Baltimore will receive $1,875,733 in long-term, interest-free financing for a clean water project. The town has also secured a $111,712 Water

Infrastructure Improvement Act grant for wastewater system upgrades. “The wastewater treatment plant has been upgraded,” New Baltimore Town Supervisor Jeff Ruso said Monday. “The project has been in place for quite some time. What it provides for us is interest-free loans to pay for this wastewater treatment plant.” Ruso said the work on the plant was completed last fall. “It particularly serves the hamlet of New Baltimore,” Ruso said. “That’s the part of the town that’s closest to the river. We’ve had an aging infrastructure with a 35-year-old plant. In essence, we’ll have interest-free loans and we’re

Oil declined as Ukrainian and Russian negotiators embarked on a further round of talks, after Ukraine’s president said over the weekend that discussions with Moscow showed some signs of becoming more substantive. Futures in New York fell about 5% to trade near $104 a barrel. The war in Ukraine has roiled commodity markets from crude to grains, leading to buyers shunning Russian oil as they navigate sanctions. A further round of talks between Russian and Ukrainian officials on Monday will focus on discussing a potential ceasefire with an immediate withdrawal of troops and security guarantees, Ukraine negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak said, though he called it a “hard discussion.” Moscow at the weekend stepped up its bombardment of western areas close to the border with Poland. Senior American and Chinese officials were meeting as the U.S. seeks to enlist China to help end the invasion. There are also some risks to demand. China placed 17.5 million people in Shenzhen under a lockdown for at least a week amid a surge in Covid-19 infections, and told people in Jilin province not to travel, the first

time the country has sealed off an entire region since April 2020. “Crude oil trades lower, but still within last week’s record wide trading range after Ukraine’s president said talks with Moscow show signs of becoming more substantive,” said Ole Hansen, head of commodities strategy at Saxo Bank. China’s latest lockdowns “should help cool prices given its potential impact on demand,” he added. There’s a flurry of diplomatic efforts to try and stop the war. A top adviser to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said “continuous” discussions with Russia are under way by video, while Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged with his French and German counterparts after they talked with Zelenskiy. U.S. Secretary of State

Antony Blinken also spoke with Ukraine’s foreign minister. That heralds the start of a jampacked week that will test whether Russia plans to repay its international debt and will likely see the Federal Reserve raise interest rates for the first time since 2018, potentially strengthening the dollar. The virus resurgence in China is also causing some concerns about oil demand, while the Federal’s interest rate decision will come on Wednesday. The prospect of extra oil supply from Iran quickly alleviating a tight market was dashed on Friday after Tehran and world powers suspended talks to restore a nuclear deal. Russia sought U.S. guarantees that sanctions imposed for its invasion wouldn’t affect its planned partnership with the OPEC producer. Iran

carried out a missile strike in Iraq after the breakdown of negotiations. Money has started to flow back into oil exchange-traded funds. The United States Oil Fund ETF, the largest in the oil market, posted its biggest weekly inflow since April 2020 last week. That’s in contrast to the early part of last week when one bearish fund saw a record inflow. While Russia has been hit with tough sanctions and the U.S has banned imports of its crude, funds to the nation may not be completely choked off yet. India is said to be working out a mechanism to facilitate trade using local currencies, while supertankers were still being booked to load Russian oil off Denmark. At least some ships will be for cargoes that traded prior to the invasion. “Oil markets in Asia have staged an unconvincing pullback today in hopes that Ukraine-Russia negotiations are moving to a constructive stage,” Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst for Oanda Asia Pacific, said in a note. “Despite Iran’s missile launches into Iraq over the weekend, it and the nuclear deal appear to be off the market’s radar for now.”

Susan Lund, a 25-year-old mother of three, was last seen on Christmas Eve in 1992 when she stepped out of her home in Clarksville, Tenn., to go to the grocery store. She never made it back. For several months, an intense search ensued, but she was not found. About a month after Lund went missing, two girls, ages 10 and 12, were running through Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park in southern Illinois, about a threehour drive northwest of Lund’s home, when they came across a human head, the Associated Press reported at the time. Sitting near the roadway, it “was not badly decomposed,” the news agency wrote at the time. Authorities could tell the victim had long, reddish hair and a pin-shaped mole in her left ear, according to a January news release by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois. She had a silver dental filling and at some point may have worn braces. They estimated her age to be between 30 and 50, and

find out that they weren’t abandoned by their mother. She didn’t leave her kids, not willingly. For her six-year-old, her only son, it was really important for him to come to grips that his mom didn’t abandon him.” As with many recent coldcase breakthroughs, the sheriff’s office received help from the work of genetic genealogists. Early last year, samples from the remains discovered in Wayne Fitzgerrell State Park were sent to a lab in Santa Cruz, Calif., which built a DNA profile that could be used for a genealogical investigation, according to a news release by Redgrave Research Forensic Services, a forensic genealogy company. Last month, researchers with Redgrave uploaded that profile to an online genealogical database called GEDmatch. Within a day, the researchers narrowed down the possible DNA matches to a woman who had been reported missing in 1992: Lund. Police then obtained a DNA sample from one of Lund’s family members. In early March, after

researchers compared the family member’s DNA profile to Lund’s, scientists confirmed the head was Lund’s. Lund’s identification was also made easier with the help of Amy Michael, an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of New Hampshire. Around the same time the DNA from the head was being profiled, Michael used “updated forensic methods” to analyze the skeletal remains to determine the victim’s age, sex and ancestry, Michael said at Friday’s news conference. Calling the case “a reopened homicide investigation,” Bullard said the identification only means his office’s work has begun. “We look forward to any and all leads that this generates,” he said. Reyes, Lund’s sister, said the news confirmed what her family had long suspected. “She has three children, so it was hard to believe some of the stories that said she ran away,” Reyes told WTVF. “We always believed that something had happened to her.”

said she had probably died only two or three days before the girls discovered her head. Despite the clues, police could not identify the victim, whom they named “Ina Jane Doe.” For nearly three decades, both Lund’s case and the case of the disembodied head went unsolved. Now, following an investigation that used new forensic technology, police confirmed the head was Lund’s. “The sheriff’s office extends its sincerest condolences to the family of Susan Lund,” Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Bullard Sr. said at a news conference Friday as he announced the discovery. He stressed that investigators have yet to determine who killed her. Now, “our mission is still to find the truth about what happened to Susan,” Bullard said, adding that his department will follow “every lead.” Pamela Reyes, one of Lund’s sisters, told the Southern Illinoisan that Lund’s children are somewhat relieved by the news. “They just really want people to know that they’re grateful to

Fourth COVID shot will be ‘necessary,’ says Pfizer CEO Kate Feldman New York Daily News

COVID-19 shots could soon become an annual item on your to-do list. Due to waning effectiveness, particularly on variants like omicron, a fourth COVID vaccine shot will be needed to keep hospitals and morgues quiet, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Sunday. “Right now, the way that we have seen, it is necessary, a fourth booster right now,” he said on “Meet the Press.” “The protection that you are getting from the third, it is good enough, actually quite good for hospitalizations and deaths. It’s not that good against infections, but doesn’t

last very long. But we are just submitting those data to the FDA and then we will see what the experts also will say outside Pfizer.” Pfizer is working on a COVID shot that would work against all variants, including omicron, and maintain its effectiveness for a year, turning the booster into a yearly event like the flu shot. “If we be able to achieve that, then I think it is very easy to follow and remember so that we can go back to really the way used to live,” Bourla said. Currently, anyone 12 years of age or older can get a third dose of the Pfizer vaccine five months after their second.

Those who received Moderna should wait six months after their second shot, and those who got the one-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine can get a booster after just two months. Bourla also announced that Pfizer hopes to have data on a vaccine for children under the age of 5 by next month, which could get shots in arms as early as May. Despite the understandable frustration from parents, Bourla said he stands by the decision to wait for “full, transparent proof about what the vaccine can do to the kids.”

Jason Hinchey

KINGSTON — A Saugerties man will serve up to 12 years in prison following his conviction for assaulting a former girlfriend and then not showing up for court, Ulster County District Attorney David Clegg said. Jason Hinchey, 49, was convicted in Ulster County Court on Jan. 6 on three counts of aggravated family offense and one count of second-degree bail-jumping, all felonies.

The jury reached the verdict after an afternoon of deliberations, Clegg said. The case arose from an assault that occurred on March 28, 2019, in Saugerties. Hinchey was found guilty of violently assaulting a former girlfriend, causing physical injury. The woman suffered a concussion and a fracture. Hinchey later failed to appear in court regarding the charges. Hinchey testified at trial that he acted in self-defense, Clegg said.

Dutchess County Court Judge James Farrell sentenced Hinchey on Friday to three consecutive sentences of 1 1/3 to 4 years in prison, Clegg said. In imposing the sentences Farrell made particular note of the injuries inflicted upon the victim in multiple, separate acts of violence, and also noted Hinchey’s refusal to accept responsibility for his conduct, Clegg said. The case was prosecuted by Assistant Ulster County District Attorneys Tara E. Tzitzon

and Bill Ghee. Clegg said his office will fully prosecute crimes of domestic violence, “taking every possible legal action to ensure accountability for the offender and protection for the victim.” “If you or a loved one are experiencing domestic violence or intimate partner violence, please call Ulster County Crime Victims Assistance Program at 845-340-3443, or 911 if you are in immediate danger,” Clegg said.

Statewide burn ban takes effect Wednesday By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

OUR VIEW

MCAT is worth every penny Anyone who’s been following news about the pandemic over the last two years knows it has taken a toll on mental health. So it’s good work by the Columbia County Board of Supervisors to approve $175,000 in funding to maintain the county Mobile Crisis Assessment Team. The Mobile Crisis Assessment Team travels the county to assess people and connect them with appropriate services with three main goals: avoid hospitalization, minimize police intervention and link crisis callers to longterm service providers in the community. The team operates under the auspices of the Mental Health Association of

Columbia-Greene Counties, Inc., so Greene County will also fund the program with $175,000. Funding for the team was previously provided through New York State but was discontinued at the end of 2021. Columbia County’s portion of the team’s funding comes through the federal government’s American Rescue Plan Act. The team does much more than offer hand-holding. It has served 6,115 individuals since its beginning in 2015, team director Katherine Oldakowski said last week. That amount includes 3,059 individuals from Columbia County and 3,056 individuals from Greene County, so statistically its services are

evenly split “Over 94,000 phone calls in and out of mobile crisis — part of that number is case management,” Oldakowski said. “We’ve been dispatched just about 4,000 times for in-person assessments. We maintain a 93% diversion rate from unnecessary hospitalization. We maintain a 99% diversion rate from further police intervention.” Those are excellent numbers from an agency that does most of its work quietly, on the road and with a relatively small but professional staff. In our opinion, the Mobile Crisis Assessment Team is a bargain worth every penny.

ANOTHER VIEW

The pandemic was worse than the official numbers show, and how much worse is now becoming more evident after two years. A new study, based in part on statistical modeling, suggests the loss in lives was close to three times greater than the official data. It is important to understand what happened and why in the greatest public health catastrophe since the 1918 influenza pandemic, which is estimated to have killed at least 50 million people. The new study, peer-reviewed, was published Thursday in the Lancet medical journal and carried out at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. The research, examining the pandemic years 2020 and 2021, found that while the official death toll worldwide was 5.94 million due to covid-19, in fact 18.2 million people might have perished in the pandemic. That estimate is similar to one reached by the Economist in ongoing research that uses different methods. Both studies suggest that the pandemic’s pain in lost lives has been undercounted because of a combination of factors, including neglected treatment for other ailments. At the core of this is a measure of excess mortality, the difference between the observed numbers of deaths from all causes, and what would normally be expected over the same time period, absent the pandemic. Although excess mortality is an estimate, it can help underscore the true scope of the catastrophe in lost lives, help scientists prepare for the next pandemic and pinpoint vulnerabilities in public health systems.

Letters should be exclusive to this publication, not duplicates of those sent to other persons, agencies

The official covid death toll undercounts for several reasons. Health-care systems often don’t list covid as a cause of death without a positive test - so, many who died were not counted as covid because they lacked a test. According to the study, before tests were widely available, “many deaths due to COVID-19 among older individuals in highincome countries, particularly in long-term care facilities,” were not counted as covid. Moreover, nearly 4 in 10 of the world’s deaths are unregistered, according to the World Health Organization; in Africa, only 10% of deaths are registered, compared to 98% in Europe and 91% in the Americas. On top of this, covid so flooded health-care systems that many people who suffered other sicknesses could not get treatment and died. They might have survived were it not for the pandemic. Taken all together, the new study declares, pandemic mortality “has been more devastating than the situation documented by official statistics.” Excess mortality differed around the world. In the United States, the researchers said the two-year official death toll was 824,000 but the estimated excess deaths were 1.1 million. Undoubtedly, those estimates are higher today after the omicron surge. The official U.S. covid death rate was 130.6 per 100,000 population, but the estimated excess mortality rate was 179.3 per 100,000. Globally, the researchers say that a “substantial fraction” of the 12 million deaths beyond the official counts were probably caused by covid, just not properly accounted for. Figuring out why should help everyone grasp the true size of this disaster. or publications. Writers are ordinarily limited to one letter every 30 days.

When my mother, grandmother and I left Moscow and came to America in 1976, we were astonished by the abundance of consumer goods. Stores not only had toothpaste and toilet paper they had multiple brands. No more lining up for meat! Or butter. Or shoes. Or anything else. Bananas, an unobtainable luxury good in the Soviet Union, were a supermarket staple in the United States. But what stayed with me the most as a child was the deepfried deliciousness I discovered at a temple of haute cuisine called McDonald’s. I had never tasted a french fry or a Big Mac before! I was in small-kid heaven. Fourteen years later, those still living in Moscow could taste Big Macs and french fries for themselves. The first McDonald’s opened in Pushkin Square in 1990 — a sign that the Soviet Union was being transformed into a Western, capitalist society. So what does it say about the current state of Russia that McDonald’s just announced that it was suspending operations at its 850 Russian restaurants? With his barbaric invasion of Ukraine, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has pushed “rewind” on more than 30 years of Russian history. The faltering steps Russia has been taking since the late 1980s to develop an open society have been erased in the blink of an eye. In just a few weeks, Russia has gone from authoritarianism to totalitarianism, and its economy has been disconnected from the West. This isn’t quite Stalinization — Putin isn’t sending millions to the gulag — but it is definitely Sovietization. Now, the most sanctioned country in the world, Russia is returning to the kind of backward and repressive place that my family fled in 1976. In the West, both the far

The lies of Putin’s lackeys would make Stalin blush: The United States is training migratory birds to fly from Ukraine to Russia to distribute “bacteriological weapons.” Ukrainian victims of Russian bombing are “crisis actors.” The Ukrainians are shelling their own cities. Russia’s foreign minister even denies that Russia attacked Ukraine. It is now a crime in Russia to call the war a war; it’s a “special military operation.” The only war Putin mentions is the economic one being waged on Russia. This is Orwellian - or, more accurately, Putinian. Presiding over this catastrophe is the most powerful and most isolated Russian leader since Stalin. Putin sees few of his own aides in person anymore - and when he does, he makes them sit as far away as possible. He is said to spend most of his time at a sprawling compound midway between Moscow and St. Petersburg with its own solarium, bowling alley, golf course, swimming pools and saunas where he can nurse his grievances in solitude. While claiming to be fighting “neo-Nazis,” Putin is creating his own fascist cult whose symbol is the letter Z, which is painted on Russian military vehicles invading Ukraine. He appears to view himself as another great czar — the second coming of Peter the Great — reviving the Russian empire. In fact, he is destroying not only Ukraine but also Russia in pursuit of his mad dreams of imperial glory. Watching the dismal, depressing events of recent weeks, I am immensely grateful to my late mother for bringing me out of the Soviet Union. I grieve for all those still trapped in Putin’s prison.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To be, or not to be, the next AG To the editor: Okay so, I will begin by saying that I admired and respected the late Governor MARIO Cuomo. He was an erudite scholar, a brilliant orator and a darn good governor...his son, ANDREW Cuomo, not so much. I was never an avid fan of Andrew‘s, but I soon fell in love with him at the height of the COVID Pandemic. His daily press conferences seemed to be informative, factual and practical And the sessions always concluded on a reassuring note full of hope and promise: We are New York Tough! We are New York Smart! He became more powerful and popular each day. Those attributes can be problematic when you have envious enemies and ambitious rivals.

SEND LETTERS:

Andrew was on a slippery pedestal and slid off when several courageous women came forward and accused him of sexual harrassment. I commend these women, but I do not condemn Andrew. He is not a Weinstein who “wooed” women up to his hotel room and then “quid pro quoed” them; he did not ride the Epstein Express to ecstasy with little girls; and he did not become a Dr. Cosby and Mr. Hyde who “drugged them and then hugged them.” Andrew is not a sexual predator. he is not a vile pedophile, and he is certainly not a rabid rapist. However, he is an egotistical low grade lothario...alone and lonely,,,inappropriately and offensively “looking for love in all the wrong places, looking for love in too many faces.”

Is he guilty of sexual harrassment? Yes! Did he foster a toxic workplace? Yes! Was he less than transparent about the nursing homes? Yes! Should he have resigned? Yes! Should he run for NYS Attorney General? I have a hunch that even though he “fell flat on his face, he is going to get up and get back in the race.” And this naughty and not so nice former governor just may break the ribbon at the finish line...because Andrew Cuomo is New York tough and New York smart. And one more thing... There is a lesson to be learned here: “A kiss on the wrist is no longer continental and a hand on a breast can be quite consequential.” LORRAINE FERRARA COXSACKIE

left and the far right revile “globalization.” Well, Russia today is a case study in what happens when a country “de-globalizes.” Russians are losing access not just to McDonald’s but to Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Pizza Hut, Ikea, Visa, Mastercard, Apple, Goldman Sachs, and all the rest. The stock market is closed. The ruble is in free fall. A debt default is likely. There are long lines as Western stores close, and grocery stores are rationing flour and sugar. Putin is now threatening to nationalize the assets of Western companies that are leaving Russia. If he carries through on his threat, few Western companies are likely to return. Life probably hasn’t changed much — yet — for the bulk of ordinary Russians, but this is a traumatic upheaval for the urban middle class. They had acquiesced to Putin’s illiberal rule because they counted on him to provide stability and prosperity after the tumultuous 1990s. They could live with not choosing their own leaders if, in return, they could choose any vacation spot in the world. The richest Russians - the oligarchs - lived in a Gucci bubble: In return for supporting Putin, they got to accumulate fabulous riches in the West. Now their yachts are being confiscated, and they are getting all of the downsides of Putin’s mercurial rule with little of the upside. Putin is not a democratic politician who needs to win votes, but, like any despot, he is eager to brainwash his population. So he is cracking down on dissent, snuffing out the last remnants of a free press and banning American social media sites. Even in the darkest days of the Cold War, there were always Western reporters in Russia. But now Western news bureaus are shuttering and few sources of independent reporting remain.

Splurge or Save? Making the most of your income tax refund By Tim Bartholomew For Columbia-Greene Media

The IRS issued more than 128 million income tax refunds for the 2020 filing season, putting $355.3 billion into the hands of U.S. consumers.1 For most recipients, such a sudden influx of cash prompts an important question: What’s the best way to use the money? Last year, 27% of consumers said they planned to spend their refund on everyday expenses, whereas equal numbers (8%) planned to either “splurge” or take a vacation.2 But what about your other options?

DEBT DECISIONS Though spending your tax refund is tempting, most people surveyed said they planned to save their tax refund and/or pay down debt.3 While reducing debt can be the cornerstone of an effective financial strategy, it’s essential to avoid making choices that could set you back in the long run. For example, a home mortgage is often the largest debt taxpayers carry, and making extra mortgage payments can reduce your principal balance and shorten the term of the loan, allowing you to accumulate equity faster. However, using a refund to cut down mortgage debt ahead of schedule could have counterproductive consequences, including losing the ability to claim the home mortgage interest deduction

INVESTING WITH TIM

TIM

BARTHOLOMEW when filing your income taxes. In addition, the reduction in your overall liquidity may limit your ability to make new purchases or investments that you hadn’t anticipated. With that in mind, it may be better to pay off higherinterest, nondeductible debt first, such as credit-card bills and car loans. Although that strategy may still limit your potential to pursue additional financial opportunities in the short term, your long-term savings may be significant.

RETIREMENT READINESS Using your refund to potentially bring retirement goals closer to reality might be prudent. IRA contributions (up to $6,000 in 2022; $7,000 if age 50 or older) may be deductible, depending on your income and the type of IRA you choose. The 2022 cap on contributions to 401(k) and 403(b) workplace retirement plans is $20,500 ($27,000 if age 50 or older). If you aren’t yet contributing the maximum, using this year’s refund to finance some routine

household expenses could help you allocate more of your income to a workplace retirement account. As an added potential benefit, the amount of any matching employer contributions may increase as a result. Of course, you might want to use this year’s refund for another purpose. Be sure to speak with your financial professional for guidance about the best way to proceed.

It’s updated regularly to provide current warrant balances, which was previously unavailable online and could only be obtained through an official request to the Tax Department

Public Information Office. This new search feature provides access to data on open tax warrants only. When a tax debt is paid in full, the warrant is satisfied and no longer accessible using the search tool. For information on a satisfied warrant, visit the New York State Department of State’s Tax Warrant Notice System. The Tax Department files a tax warrant with the appropriate county clerk and the NYS Department of State when a taxpayer with fixed and final tax debt fails to resolve it.

His love for people made them cling to him for advice and his inspirational speeches moved many no matter their age. Many looked up to him as a father, as he is known as uncle Paul, or Paps within family and friends. Paul was well known and had a skill of getting things done no matter where he was. Paul will always be remembered for his kindness, helpful and loving spirit and is already greatly missed.

3-year-old Illinois boy fatally shot his mom with a gun found in car Tatyana Turner Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — A trip to the supermarket in Dolton turned fatal this weekend when a 3-year-old boy found a gun in the back seat of a vehicle, picked it up and accidentally shot his mother in the neck, killing her. Dejah Bennet, 22, was pronounced dead at University of Chicago Medical Center at 9:34 p.m. Saturday, according to information from the Cook County medical examiner’s office. She was rushed to the hospital after emergency responders located her suffering from a gunshot wound at the Food 4 Less Fuel Center, 1000 E. Sibley Blvd. in Dolton, officials said. Andrew Holmes, a trustee for the city of Dolton and a community activist, said the shooting happened at Food 4 Less after Bennet and her son went grocery shopping. Soon after Bennet put the child in his car seat and she sat down in the driver’s seat, the toddler found and picked up a gun that had been left unattended. Dolton police did not return multiple calls requesting information. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the boy pulled the trigger or if he may have dropped the gun or it otherwise malfunctioned, but when it discharged it sent a bullet into Bennet’s neck, killing her. “This child has to go through this trauma for the rest of his life,” Holmes said. “He’s going to miss his mother.” Holmes, who distributed 400 gun locks in Chicago on Feb.26 and an additional 400 in Dolton outsidethe supermarket Sunday, said accidental shootings such as this happen all too often. Making sure a gun is locked and stored away should be a priority for all gun owners, but especially for parents and guardians, Holmes said. “Guns kill, especially when it gets in the hands of children

and it’s not the child’s fault,” Holmes said. “It’s the adult’s fault because they have a responsibility to keep these guns locked down and away from these kids.” Holmes said people often forget they’ve left their gun in the car, underscoring the importance of having the weapon locked — no matter where it’s stored. “Some people put these guns in the seat, they don’t take it in the house and they forget when they come out in the morning that their children are getting inside of the car. And all of a sudden, that gun rolls out from underneath the seat of the car and the child gets a hold of it,” Holmes said. (C)2022 Chicago Tribune. Visit at chicagotribune.com.

Chief Jim DiPerna is grateful for the donation and the improvements they can make, stating: “Like most things do over time, our fire district is changing. The recent addition of a 32-acre solar farm located on Route 32 and increased road traffic has indicated to the fire department that we needed to update our fleet of apparatus to improve off-road firefighting capabilities and provide better traffic control/highway safety for emergency scenes.

Streamside acquisition program helps local communities ARKVILLE — The Catskill Center is releasing a new fact sheet that articulates the multiple community benefits of its Streamside Acquisition Program, or SAP. The SAP aims to protect water quality in streams in the northeastern Catskills through the purchase and protection of streamside lands. By doing that, the SAP also helps to mitigate future flooding, which has devastated parts of our communities in recent years. The SAP only purchases eligible properties, and only if the property owner is interested in selling. Key points in the fact sheet include criteria for eligible properties, such as that lands be within the drainage basin of the Schoharie Reservoir. Another important part of the program is that the SAP

focuses on lands outside of areas formally identified by municipalities as areas intended for future growth. The SAP will not reach out to landowners in these areas unless invited to do so by the municipality through a formal resolution. Honoring community goals is important. “We regularly reach out to town officials to ask how the SAP can complement community goals,” said Lee Alexander, Streamside Acquisition Program Director. ” Besides helping to ensure community flood resilience by keeping undeveloped wetlands and floodplains from being developed, the SAP preserves the tax base, as the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP) pays property taxes

on lands acquired through the program. The SAP focuses on properties that make the biggest difference in protecting water quality: floodplains, wetlands, and lands within 300 feet of streams. SAP staff encourage landowners to keep their more developable lands in private hands. The Catskill Center runs the SAP in partnership with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP). It is one of many programs required by regulators, such as the New York State Department of Health, to help protect the City’s drinking water at its source. The SAP furthers the mission of the Catskill Center to protect and foster the environmental, cultural and economic well-being of the Catskill region.

Writers in the Mountains presents poetry workshop ROXBURY — Writers in the Mountains (WIM) presents The Animals in Our Lives, a six-week poetry workshop with Lynn Domina, April 5 through May 10. The class will be held online 6-8 p.m. Tuesdays. Once they register and pay, participants will be given instructions on how to join the class. Remember that gerbil you had as a child, how you took him outside one morning, how he ran off, and how anxious you were until you found him? Or think about that hummingbird you saw whirring outside your window last summer — what metaphors could you use to describe that hummingbird? Or, how is the hummingbird a metaphor for

you and your life? When you hear the word “animal,” do you first think about all of the animals that are gone from our lives through extinction? In this workshop, we’ll write poems in response to animals — the cuddly and the fierce, the awesome and the ugly, those here now and those here no more. We’ll focus particularly on how concrete imagery and figurative language can improve our craft. The instructor will provide optional prompts as well as many sample poems. Domina is the author of numerous books, including two collections of poetry, Corporal Works and Framed in Silence. Her recent poetry appears or is forthcoming in

The Alaska Quarterly Review, The Museum of Americana, The New England Review, Stone Canoe, and many other periodicals and anthologies. After living for many years in Delhi, she moved to Marquette, Michigan in 2015. She currently serves as head of the English department at Northern Michigan University and as Creative Writing Editor for The Other Journal. Read more at www.lynndomina.com.

Jussie Smollett’s lawyers argue for actor’s release pending appeal Megan Crepeau and Jason Meisner Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Jussie Smollett’s attorneys want a state appellate court to release the actor from jail while his appeal is pending, according to recent court filings arguing that Smollett’s time in custody could put his mental and physical health at risk. Smollett’s family, meanwhile, is echoing the actor’s extraordinary statement after sentencing, saying he is strong and has no desire to hurt himself. The Cook County sheriff’s office, which operates the jail, has said detainee safety is a top priority. At his attorneys’ request Smollett has been placed in protective custody, with cameras in his cell and an officer with a body-worn camera outside his door at all times. Smollett will have no contact with other detainees, but can have time outside his cell to make phone calls and watch TV, the office has said.

While Smollett was sentenced last week to 150 days in jail, he is eligible for good behavior credit that would cut that time in half, putting his anticipated release date in late May. Records show Smollett is being held at Cermak Health Services, the jail’s on-site medical facility. In a video posted to Smollett’s Instagram, his brother Jocqui stated that Smollett is in a “psych ward” with a note in his cell saying he is at risk of selfharm. A spokesperson for Cook County Health, which operates Cermak, declined to comment, saying they could not release someone’s medical information without that person’s signed consent. “He is very stable, he is very strong, he is very healthy and ready to take on the challenge that ultimately has been put up against him,” Jocqui Smollett said in the video. Smollett’s team on Monday morning released audio of a menacing phone call received

BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE/TNS

Actor Jussie Smollett speaks to Judge James Linn after his sentence is read Thursday, March 10, 2022, at the Leighton Criminal Court Building in Chicago.

by one of Smollett’s siblings, which uses racist and homophobic terms and threatens harm to Smollett in jail. Smollett’s attorneys want him released from jail while they argue to a higher court

that his conviction should be thrown out. Among other arguments, they said in a filing Friday, Smollett’s second prosecution violated his doublejeopardy rights. Smollett was convicted of

low-level felonies in December when a jury found that he had lied to police about being the victim of a hate crime attack. Prosecutors argued at sentencing that he denigrated real victims of hate crimes when he staged a phony assault on himself involving racial slurs, homophobic epithets and a noose. Judge James Linn sentenced Smollett to 30 months of probation, with the first 150 days to be served in Cook County Jail. In addition, he must pay a $25,000 fine as well as $120,106 -- the amount of restitution the city sought to pay for its overtime costs investigating the case, minus the $10,000 Smollett forfeited to the city when his first case was dropped. Smollett declined to speak before sentencing, but after Linn handed down his decision, Smollett surprised the whole courtroom by standing up to proclaim his innocence. “If I did this, then it means I stuck my fist in the fears of Black

Americans in this country for over 400 years, and the fears of the LGBT community,” he said. “Your honor, I respect you, and I respect the jury, but I did not do this. And I am not suicidal, and if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself.” In response to Smollett’s comments and his attorney’s prior remarks about COVID-19 at the jail, a sheriff’s office statement Thursday evening noted that “like all individuals ordered into custody at the jail, Mr. Smollett will be given a comprehensive medical, mental health and security assessment and will be placed in appropriate housing.” Smollett will be tested for COVID-19 upon intake, which is the jail’s protocol, the statement noted. As of Thursday there were 12 jail detainees who were positive for COVID-19 at the jail, all of whom were identified during the intake process, the statement read.

at 4:50 p.m. Firefighters then began checking the rest of the building to make sure there were no areas where flames could begin again. New York State Electric and Gas was requested to the scene to disconnect power to the home. A small group of onlookers gathered at a safe distance to watch firefighters work. Fire trucks lined Clarence D. Lane Road near the scene of the fire. Several inches of snow from Saturday’s storm covered the ground and made conditions slippery at Windham Mountain Village. The fire did not spread to any other condominiums in the area, Dempsey said. Nobody was home when the fire broke out, Dempsey said. The Greene County Fire Investigation Team is looking into the cause of the blaze. Although the investigation remains ongoing, it was determined that the fire began in the living room area of the home, Dempsey said.

The money will also allow the village to expand groundwater source capacity, replace aging water mains and meters and rehabilitate the existing water storage tank. “Every single community in New York deserves access to clean water, which is why investing in clean water infrastructure is a top priority,” Hochul said in a statement. “With a surge in funding from the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and historic investment in clean water initiatives in my Executive Budget, we will work together with local governments to modernize New York’s water infrastructure to protect public health and the environment and help ensure a robust economy.” Nearly two years after New Baltimore declared a state of emergency after a water main broke in the town under the New York State Thruway, Ruso said the town is seeking state

visitors who fall in love when they meet the farms’ animals. “It happens all of the time,” she said. “We don’t live in a world that allows people to connect deeply with food animals in the way we’re able to connect with cats and dogs.

funding to repair additional pipes in the town. In June 2020, all water service was lost in the town’s Water District No. 2, known as the Scheller Park District, after a 10-inch main ruptured under the southbound lanes of the Thruway. The town has applied for funding to replace sections of piping that are over a century old in hopes of avoiding another leak. “There are other sections of the water line that are as old as the one that went bad,” Ruso said. “The pipe that was under the Thruway was over 100 years old. So that part was repaired. But the parts that are on both sides of the Thruway, near where that broken area was, are still 100 years old. So I’ve been knocking on doors and trying to get some funding for that.” Ruso said the town is awaiting word on securing funding for the water main repairs. “We are seeking out grants, but I’ve heard different answers,” Ruso said. “For Water District No. 2, we’re looking to get some grant funding to help secure final repair of a major

leak. We had a major leak back in June 2020. We had to have emergency repairs to a pipe that went under the Thruway. The pipe was replaced and it cost the water district residents $330,000. We had to bond that out. The current residents of that district are paying the bond fees now. We just made our first payment in February, actually.” Ruso said the town plans to utilize federal American Rescue Plan Act funding to pay for the renovations, but hopes to get state funding to avoid spending all of its federal money on the project. “We do have some ARPA money that we plan to use on that,” Ruso said. “But if I can get other grants, then that saves ARPA money for other projects in our town. That’s kind of what I want to do. I don’t want to spend the ARPA money just on the water district. I was hoping to do other things with it. But we have to repair it before it goes bad, because it is 100 years old and how much longer can you rely upon it? We’ve had a major break along that line already.”

Stevens is a strong advocate for people to adopt veganism to spare farm animals and help the environment. “Unless and until we make a dramatic shift, we’re on a collision course,” she said. “The

environment is telling us every way she can that we have to change our behavior. Since our consumption has become a leading cause of almost every environmental challenge we face, particularly climate

TAMPA, Fla. — The Yankees landed a much-needed shortstop, a former American League MVP and ended their on-going struggles with catcher Gary Sanchez in one move late Sunday night. The Bombers acquired Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson from the Twins for Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela, an industry source confirmed. The Yankees top priority this offseason was to find a replacement for Gleyber Torres, who had been demoted to second base late last season. They were not interested in the big name, big contract shortstops on the free agent market like Carlos Correa and Corey Seager in part because they have two young prospects at the position they

Tom Brady changes course, announces he will return to Tampa Bay Mark Maske The Washington Post

Tom Brady’s retirement from the NFL lasted a little less than six weeks. The seven-time Super Bowl winner announced Sunday that he will continue playing and will return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 2022 season. “These past two months I’ve

realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,” the quarterback wrote on Twitter. “That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG” Brady, 44, had announced his retirement Feb. 1 after 22 seasons.

“This is difficult for me to write, but here it goes: I am not going to make that competitive commitment anymore,” Brady wrote then on social media. “I have loved my NFL career, and now it is time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention.” Brady’s retirement announcement had come amid confusion, and

within days he began to waver on his decision to walk away from the NFL. Less than a week after retiring, Brady said on his podcast “you never say never” about a potential return to playing. The speculation about a prospective return intensified this weekend after Brady posted photos and a video to social media Saturday of him

attending Manchester United’s soccer match with his family. The video showed Brady hesitating and giving a non-definitive answer, accompanied by a quizzical look, when soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo asked him if he actually was done playing. Manchester United is owned by See BRADY B2

Gonzaga earns No. 1 overall seed, joining Arizona, Kansas, Baylor Field Level Media

Gonzaga has been knocking on the national title door waiting for an answer. The Bulldogs begin their latest quest for the elusive crown after being selected as the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament on Selection Sunday. Arizona (South), Kansas (Midwest) and Baylor (East) are the other No. 1 seeds. Gonzaga is the top seed in the West. There was no surprise that Gonzaga (26-3) is in the role of favorites after losing in two of the past four championship games. The Bulldogs fell to North Carolina in 2017 and Baylor last season. All-American Drew Timme said his club is ready to make a run and pointed to the change in his own role as a main factor. You see, 7-foot shot blocker deluxe Chet Holmgren (102 blocks) mans the middle, not the mustachioed Timme. “I was the rim protector last year,” Timme told ESPN on Sunday night. “We upgraded at that position for sure. We’re a better defensive team this year than we were last year.” The Bulldogs opens play on Thursday against 16th-seeded Georgia State in Portland, Ore. Timme said last season’s 86-70 loss to Baylor in the title game stung but turned out to provide some positive benefits.

Gonzaga Bulldogs fans cheer before the team takes on the Saint Mary’s Gaels during the championship game of the West Coast Conference basketball tournament at the Orleans Arena on March 8 in Las Vegas.

“It was a great learning experience,” Timme said. “Obviously, things didn’t go the

way we wanted them to last year. But it has allowed for a lot of self-growth for everyone

and our program and we’re excited for the challenge. “It’s not going to be easy but if it was easy, anyone could do it.” Gonzaga could potentially face eighthseeded Boise State (27-7) in the second round if both teams win their openers. That won’t be a comfortable feeling for Bulldogs coach Mark Few as his former longtime assistant Leon Rice is the coach of the Broncos. Despite being just 420 miles away, Gonzaga has not played Boise State during Rice’s 12-year tenure. Arizona (31-3) is the No. 2 overall seed and will open Friday in San Diego against the winner of a First Four game between Wright State and Bryant. Former Zags assistant Tommy Lloyd has re-energized the Arizona program in his first season at the helm. The Wildcats are a candidate to be the first Pac-12 team to win the national championship since 1997 when Lute Olson guided Arizona to the crown. Lloyd doesn’t mind the possibility of facing his former boss in Few as it would mean the squads reached the title game in New Orleans. “If we end up playing Gonzaga, it would See GONZAGA B3

Brady From B1

the Glazer family, which also owns the Buccaneers. “Tom Brady loves to play football as much as anyone I have ever been around,” Coach Bruce Arians said in a statement released Sunday night by the Buccaneers. “As Tom said, his place right now is on the football field. He is still playing at a championship level and was as productive as anyone in the league last season. We are ecstatic that he decided to continue playing and working toward winning another championship.” Brady remains under contract to the Buccaneers for the 2022 season. The deal probably needs to be reworked; it includes a base salary of $8.925 million and a $15 million deferred bonus payment that would have been due last month if he hadn’t retired. He will be in his third season with the Buccaneers after 20 seasons and six Super Bowl triumphs - with the New England Patriots. “We are thrilled that Tom has decided to come back this season,” Buccaneers General Manager Jason Licht said in a statement. “We said we would leave all options open for him should he reconsider his retirement and today’s announcement is something we have been preparing for in recent days.” Licht said he and Arians had “plenty of conversations with Tom recently that led us to believe there was a realistic chance he would want to come back.” The Buccaneers had not replaced Brady as their starter at quarterback. “He’s baaackkkk,” the team wrote Sunday on its Twitter account, soon after Brady’s announcement. Brady led the NFL in passing attempts, completions, passing yards and touchdown passes last season. The Buccaneers went 13-4 but lost at home to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs. They won the Super Bowl in the 2020 season - Brady’s first with the Buccaneers after leaving the Patriots in free agency. Brady turns 45 in August. He has often spoken of playing until he is 45 or perhaps beyond, but retirement speculation increased as the Buccaneers’ season neared its conclusion. Three days before his retirement announcement, Brady’s health and wellness company announced he was done playing, then backtracked. Now Brady has followed the same pattern, announcing his un-return 40 days

after announcing his retirement. He had cited family considerations the first time around. “I’ve done a lot of reflecting the past week and have asked myself difficult questions,” Brady wrote in February. “And I am so proud of what we have achieved. My teammates, coaches, fellow competitors, and fans deserve 100 [percent] of me, but right now, it’s best I leave the field of play to the next generation of dedicated and committed athletes.” The Buccaneers will have to do a bit of work to keep their team relatively intact around Brady. Tight end Rob Gronkowski and running back Leonard Fournette are among the Buccaneers players eligible for unrestricted free agency. The team used its franchise player tag to keep wide receiver Chris Godwin off the market and agreed late Sunday night to a three-year deal to re-sign center Ryan Jensen ahead of free agency. “Tom is the greatest quarterback of all time who is still playing at an elite level,” Licht said in Sunday’s statement. “With this decision now made, we will continue to move forward with our offseason plans to reload this roster for another championship run.” Licht had told NFL Network during the NFL combine that the Buccaneers would “leave the light on” for Brady in case he decided to return. Arians said at the combine of a possible Brady comeback: “That door is never closed. Whenever Tom wants to come back, he’s back.” The Buccaneers retained Brady’s rights, and Arians said at the combine that it would be “bad business” to allow Brady to play for another team. Arians also said then of the team’s offseason planning, “If Tom wants to come back, we’ll have plenty of money for him.” But Arians said at the combine that Brady was not considering a comeback, based on his conversations with the quarterback to that point. There already have been prominent moves - and nonmoves - among NFL quarterbacks this offseason. Brady retired and then returned. Aaron Rodgers stayed put with the Green Bay Packers. Russell Wilson was traded from the Seattle Seahawks to the Denver Broncos. Carson Wentz was dealt from the Indianapolis Colts to the Washington Commanders. There is more to come as the free agent market opens Wednesday and trade activity becomes official. The Houston Texans could trade Deshaun Watson, and the San Francisco 49ers could send Jimmy Garoppolo elsewhere.

rate (17%) by far of his career. The 26-year Kiner-Falefa, who was dealt from the Rangers to the Twins, is a solid defensive shortstop, including a 2020 Gold Glove, with a career .265/.316/.670 slash line. He is under team control for the next two seasons. Donaldson, the 2015 American League MVP, is .247/.352/.475 career hitter with 251 career home runs. He is perhaps better remembered around Yankee Universe, however, all but for pointing the finger at Gerrit Cole last season for using illegal sticky substances when the league cracked down. Donaldson has two years and $50 million left on his contract with the Twins, which the Yankees will be taking on.

The most likely first-round upsets for the men’s NCAA tournament

Neil Greenberg

The Washington Post

Picking upsets in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament is an art and a science, and your selections can make or break your bracket. As we decipher the smartest upset picks in the first round, we are going to focus on the true underdogs - a No. 9 seed beating a No. 8 is technically an upset by seeding, but finding surprise winners at the 10-seed line and below is where the value lies. We are also going to highlight not just the most likely firstround upsets but also those that would provide value by differentiating your picks from the competition. For example, last season we gave No. 10 Rutgers a 56% chance to beat No. 7 Clemson, yet only 40% of participants in ESPN’s Tournament Challenge agreed. When Rutgers won, 60-56, it gave us an early advantage in larger pools. We also identified No. 14 Abilene Christian as having a better-than-average chance to win compared to other No. 14 seeds, and the Wildcats came through with a 53-52 victory over No. 3 Texas. Nearly all of the ESPN brackets, 95%, felt differently. In 2019, we nailed No. 10 Iowa over No. 7 Cincinnati, an upset picked by just 25% of participants in ESPN’s Tournament Challenge. How do we find these diamonds in the rough? We look for teams that have an advantage in one or more of the four factors of basketball as described by Dean Oliver: shooting (particularly 3-point shooting), rebounding, turnovers and free throw shooting. Better shooters produce more points. Effective rebounders and opportunistic defenders create extra possessions that lead to more points. And teams that can get to the line have

access to an efficient way of scoring. We are also on the lookout for favorites who rely heavily on 3-pointers. If they go cold, that’s usually a precursor to an upset. And finally, lower-seeded teams favored in the point spread are also great picks to advance to the next round. With that in mind, here is a first-round upset in each region you’ll want to select in your bracket, listed in order of their chances of pulling off a surprise. - East Region No. 10 San Francisco over No. 7 Murray State: Last seen in the tournament in 1998, the Dons, under analyticsminded coach Todd Golden, have a top-20 defense per Ken Pomeroy’s ratings. Their profile, specifically when looking at the four factors, is similar to Wichita State’s in 2013, when the Shockers made a Final Four run as a No. 9 seed. It is also similar to that of 2011 Butler, a No. 8 seed that reached the title

game. - Midwest Region No. 13 South Dakota State over No. 4 Providence: The pride of the Summit League leads the nation in effective field goal rate (60%) with deadly shooting from beyond the 3-point line (a nation’sbest 44%). The Jackrabbits are scoring 1.2 points per contested catch-and-shoot attempt, the second-highest rate in the nation. Because opponents have to respect their long-range shooting, that opens the floor - particularly around the rim, where they shoot 61% and score 1.3 points per possession (91st percentile). After adjusting for strength of schedule, South Dakota State has the 12th best offensive efficiency in the nation, making it a threat against any defense. - South Region No. 10 Loyola Chicago over No. 7 Ohio State: The Ramblers rank in the top 50 in offensive efficiency and top 25 in defensive efficiency,

putting them on par with the better teams among No. 8 seeds rather than the teams seeded 10. Their narrow loss to Michigan State on a neutral court in November and their win against San Francisco on a neutral court in January show the upside of first-year coach Drew Valentine’s squad. Plus, Sister Jean is back! - West Region No. 13 Vermont over No. 4 Arkansas: Vermont ranks third nationally in effective field goal percentage (57%), including a sparkling 65% field goal rate around the rim, one of the highest in the nation (99th percentile). The Catamounts, who routed Maryland Baltimore County in the America East tournament final, 82-43, also limit the amount of secondchance opportunities opponents get off the offensive glass (19% allowed, No. 1 in the country), and the ones they do allow are, as a whole, less successful than average.

Women’s NCAA Tournament field is set, with South Carolina the No. 1 overall seed Kent Youngblood Star Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS — Down the stretch of the season, the Connecticut women got healthy, got whole and got about the business of trying to show they deserved a seed high enough that would allow them to stay at or near home for the duration of the 2022 NCAA women’s basketball tournament. In the end, the selection committee decided they had. And so the Huskies, with Minnesotaborn Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd and Nika Muhl all contributing, riding a 10-game winning streak and having won 16 of 17, snared a high No. 2 seed. They’ll begin their quest for their first title since 2016 in Storrs, Conn. Home. “They are healthy and they are playing well,” said Nina King, chair of the NCAA’s selection committee on ESPN’s selection show. “They have all their team playing, and they’re another team on an upward trajectory. They dominated their conference tournament.” The Final Four will be held at Target Center in Minneapolis April 1 and 3. Connecticut? It gets to host the first two rounds in its quest to be one of those final four teams. Should UConn advance to the Sweet Sixteen, that would mean a move to Bridgeport, Conn., and a possible showdown with No. 1-seeded North Carolina State. The Wolfpack have to be wondering why 29 wins and regular season and ACC Conference tournament titles got them the right to potentially play a regional final that would amount to almost a road game. South Carolina, defending champion Stanford, North Carolina State and Louisville grabbed No. 1 seeds. Baylor, UConn, Iowa and Texas grabbed No. 2 seeds. But the move that pushed UConn to a second seed and pulled them back home reflected the committee’s intention to reward strong finishes. That is the case with Iowa, on a seven-game winning streak. The Hawkeyes grabbed a share of the Big Ten Conference regular season title, then raced

through the conference tournament, getting a No. 2 seed in the Greensboro region. That’s a move that set up two potentially tasty matchups. First, Iowa and No. 3 seed Iowa State could potentially meet in a Sweet 16 game. Second, should both Iowa and No. 1 seed South Carolina advance, the Greensboro regional final would pit Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston - the top two candidates for player of the year - against each other. “Iowa is a team that is hot,” King said. “Co-champs in the Big Ten and ultimately Big Ten conference tournament champions. We felt good rewarding them.” Ditto for Texas, which has won 11 straight games and beat Baylor in the Big 12 Conference tournament championship. It would appear that Baylor’s loss to Texas in the Big 12 Conference tournament championship was what kept the Bears from a No. 1 seed, thereby giving it to Louisville. This is the first women’s tournament

to be expanded to 68 teams. It is the first tournament that will utilize the term “March Madness.” The Big Ten had six teams make the field. Both Indiana - which finished strong - and Michigan got No. 3 seeds. Maryland got a No. 4 seed, Ohio State a No. 6 and Nebraska a No. 8. For South Carolina, it is an opportunity to atone for last year’s heartbreaking one-point semifinal loss to eventual champion Stanford. With virtually the same team back, and with Boston leading the way, the Gamecocks wrapped up the top overall seed and have their eyes set on Minneapolis. “It’s the experience of a heartbreak,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said on the selection show. “This team hasn’t lost a whole lot of basketball games because they have that want-to. They know that feeling of what it was like to lose like we lost in the Final Four. They’ve come back and taken on all challenges. But, like Kobe Bryant said, the job is not done.”

forward Dylan Crowley-Williams. Schmidt forced a steal on defense and took it the rest of the way for a layup to avoid the charge this time around. The defensive prowess shown by the Riders looked to shake the Hornets’ confidence shooting the basketball throughout much of the first half. Ichabod Crane led 20-6 after one quarter of play and looked to keep the game out of reach going forward. Plattsburgh tried to get fancy in transition early in the second, and lost the ball out of bounds for a turnover after passing it one too many times on a fastbreak chance. The Hornets were able to slow down the onslaught of offense on display by the Riders in the second period by sending them to the free throw line early and often,

however, Ichabod Crane was much obliged for any and all foul shots they were given and made plenty of them as the quarter wore on. The Hornets scored a quick four points early in the period, but they hit a cold streak on offense once again and missed a litany of shots. After an unreal first quarter, Warner knocked down another shot in the paint, his first of the second quarter, to give the Riders a 27-12 lead. The Hornets committed a shot clock violation for another turnover and Clickman drained a shot from beyond the three point line shortly thereafter to put Ichabod Crane up by 20. Clickman grabbed an offensive rebound on another possession and found Schmidt in the corner for a three of

his own. The surge at the end of the half by the Riders gave them a 37-12 lead over the Hornets at the break. Clickman got called for a double dribble in the first minute of the second half and the Riders turned it over. Schmidt hit Warner with a no-look pass in transition for an easy layup and Ichabod Crane’s confidence only increased exponentially in the third quarter. The Riders’ defense stayed aggressive to force lower percentage shots by Plattsburgh, after holding the Hornets to just six points in each of the first two periods. Warner stayed hot in the third quarter, completing a three point play the old fashioned way after knocking down the bucket and the foul. Schmidt capped off the third with another clean

no-look dish to Richards in the painted area, and the Riders led 57-24 through three quarters. The Hornets had no one to match up with Richards’ size in the post so the Riders went to him early and often for a few baskets to open the fourth quarter. Richards also looked to out-rebound just about everyone on the floor throughout the contest, grabbing boards constantly on both offense and defense. Schmidt had a nice drive on offense and rolled the ball in off of his fingers as he glided into the paint. Dylan McCrudden made an awkward jump shot over two Plattsburgh defenders that summed up the theme of the game Sunday night; pretty much everything going the Riders’ way. Schmidt put the icing on

the cake for Ichabod Crane with another nice layup as he slashed through the defense and changed direction in the air to create space. Both teams pulled their starters with a couple of minutes left in the contest and the Ichabod Crane Riders were victorious at the final buzzer 75-31 over the Plattsburgh Hornets. ICHABOD CRANE (75): Richards 9-2-20, Schmidt 7-015, Warner 11-1-23, Mullins 2-4-8, Clickman 1-0-3, McCrudden 1-0-2, Colwell 2-0-4. Totals 33-7-75. 3-pointers: Schmidt, Clickman. PLATTSBURGH (31): Phillips 1-0-2, Filasca 2-3-7, Wylie 1-0-2, Crowley-Williams 2-15, Hartmann 1-0-2, King 3-3-9, Trombley 2-0-4. Totals 12-731.

Southern and Texas A&MCorpus Christi on Thursday in Fort Worth, Texas. Baylor (26-6) is the No. 4 overall seed. The Bears begin the tournament against 16thseeded Norfolk State (24-8) on Thursday in Fort Worth. The tournament is the last one for longtime Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski before retirement. His next loss marks his final game or perhaps the second-seeded Blue Devils

(28-6) win six straight games for Coach K’s sixth national crown. Duke (28-6) opens with 15th-seeded Cal State Fullerton (21-10) on Friday at Greenville, S.C. Tom Izzocoached Michigan State (22-12), seeded seventh, is a possible second-round opponent for the Blue Devils. First, the Spartans face 10thseeded Davidson (27-6). “It would be exciting, it

would be an honor,” Izzo said of facing Coach K one last time. “The best part would be that we won the first game, because that’s going to be a dogfight, I promise you.” Villanova (22-12) is the second seed in the South and will face 15th-seeded Delaware (22-12) in Pittsburgh. Auburn (27-5) is the second seed in the Midwest and draws 15th-seeded Jacksonville State (21-10) in

Greenville on Friday. Kentucky (26-7) landed the second seed in the East and opens Thursday against Saint Peter’s in Indianapolis. The Wildcats could potentially face seventh-seeded Murray State (30-2), an instate school, in the second round but coach John Calipari doesn’t want to hear any chatter on the matter. “We have Saint Peter’s,” Calipari told ESPN. “Worry

about them.” The Big Ten led all conferences with nine teams in the tournament. The Big East, Big 12 and SEC has six apiece, the ACC landed five and the Mountain West has four. “The Big Ten has had a fantastic year and are very deserving of their nine teams,” said Tom Burnett, the chair of the selection committee who also is commissioner of the Southland Conference.

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Neighborhood frostier amid political divide Dear Abby, My wife and I share a common driveway with our neighbors. These neighbors are keenly aware that my wife and I do not share their political views. After the election, one of them quit speaking to us or even acknowledging our DEAR ABBY presence. After a few months, I approached him in the shared driveway and said “Bob, it is obvious you are not speaking to me. If I have offended you, let me know and I will do my best to apologize.” His response was, “I’ll think about it.” That was the last I heard for a while, but he still shunned me. A few months later, he rang my doorbell and asked us to accept his apology, saying, “Only God can judge.” I knew what he meant. Life is short, the neighborhood is small and neighbors need each other, so my wife and I accepted his “apology.” Now, months later, he is back to not acknowledging our existence. I see him several times a week. I am happy to continue “turning the other cheek,” but with no results so far, both cheeks are getting red. Any suggestions? Free Thinker In Texas

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Stop turning any of your cheeks in this neighbor’s direction. It’s a shame that so many relationships have been destroyed in this country because people were unwilling to TALK with or LISTEN to each other. Folks on both sides of the aisle had their reasons for voting the way they did in the last presidential election. Those reasons cannot be understood unless they are

calmly discussed. Individuals who are not mature enough to discuss their differences are really not worth your time, so ignore what he’s doing and go on with your life. Dear Abby, I’m a 54-year-old man, blessed with a good life, family, friends and a good job for 35 years. I was married for six years. The first four of them were very good. We were blessed with a sweet, beautiful daughter. Her mother and I have been divorced for more than 20 years now. I’m a decent-looking guy. I’m kind, honest and fun, and I have good morals and a sense of humor. I have dated many women since the divorce, but most of those relationships were all about sex. I’m not complaining, but I’d like to find that one woman with whom I could share everything — travel, dinner, ballgames, concerts, etc. The few of those I’ve encountered over the last 20 years have ended up getting married to someone else. Abby, can you help? I feel ... Cursed In Arkansas If I read your letter correctly, you have been jumping into bed with women before you find out what they are all about. Your chances of finding someone to share the rest of your life with might improve if you make the effort to form friendships first. Although you may not find someone who enjoys all of the activities you mentioned on your wish list, you might forge rewarding friendships along the way and enjoy some of them together.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you maintain unique perspectives about all that you observe in life, and your keen intellect and incredible memory give you the capacity for critical thinking and comparative analysis that exceeds that of anyone else born under your sign. You rarely if ever encounter a problem that you have not, in some way, already anticipated and prepared for, and though you may have to meet a surprise with clever improvisation, much of what you think and how you have prepared will be instrumental in your successful navigation of whatever comes your way. Though you are perhaps the most realistic individual born under your sign, you are also quite idealistic, and you are able to put a positive spin on almost everything that happens — or, at the very least, you are able to learn good things from the bad things that happen to you and others on occasion. Also born on this date are: Eva Longoria, actress; Andrew Jackson, U.S. president; Mark Hoppus, musician; Dee Snider, musician and singer; Fabio, model; Judd Hirsch, actor; Mark McGrath, singer; Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court justice. 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, MARCH 16 PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You’re in a very good position to see things just as they are, though that might not be completely satisfying. You can make adjustments! ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Your attitude may not be conducive to healthy interaction and cooperation today — but that may not be a decision to make. Get it together!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You have much that someone values, but you’re not about to give it away. It’s time to negotiate; you can begin by naming a fair price. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You can pass up anything that is not quite to your taste today — but take care, because you may be missing the chance to try something new. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You have been working on an alternative to today’s “requirements,” and the time has come for you to suggest your changes to someone in charge. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Once you’ve made the first move today, it will be difficult to stop — or even slow down, perhaps. You must be sure you’re ready to go! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You can say much without saying anything at all today, as the people you are communicating with know how to interpret your silences. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Focus on the details today, and don’t let yourself miss anything that might have an effect on the outcome of your day. A friend calls to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may be asking for more than someone can give you today — but that doesn’t mean it won’t come your way if you do the right things in order. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Arrangements may not hold up to scrutiny today, as you try to reconcile timing with availability. You can dispense valuable advice! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You may be so concerned with questions of “right” and “wrong” today that you have virtually paralyzed yourself. Get out and get moving! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Certain complicated problems are like the proverbial putty in your hands today. Your way of solving them should win you a lot of praise.
