GC Bank buys historic Tanners building

CATSKILL — The Bank of Greene County is returning to its roots with the purchase a Main Street property that first housed the financial institution in 1889.

The bank purchased the former Trustco building at 345 Main St., which basement served as the first location of the Bank of Greene County 133 years ago.

The Bank of New York acquired Tanners Bank in 1972 and subsequently sold the Main

Street branch to Trustco in 1980.

Trustco operated in the space until Jan. 31. The deal to sell the property to Bank of Greene County was finalized this week for an undisclosed sum.

“I think it’s really cool that 133 years later we’re back in the location where we started,” Bank of Greene County President & CEO Donald Gibson said Wednesday. “What’s really cool about this building is that the Bank of Greene County’s first See BUILDING A2

Report: Greene real estate prices rising

By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Greene County home prices continue to be on the rise as properties for sale in the region grow more scarce, a new report from the Center for Housing Solutions and Community Initiatives show.

Greene County’s median sales price for homes sold in 2021 rose from $170,000 in 2017 to $287,325 in 2021, according to the center’s regional housing market report released this week.

Catskill real estate agent Zachary Petrocca said those figures are in line with the Greene County sales he’s witnessed over the last year.

“I’d even say a little bit more than that, depending on the particular areas and specific towns,” he said Wednesday.

The towns of Hunter, Tannersville, Catskill and Athens remain in the highest demand for real estate.

“Those are the main towns that I’ve seen people purchasing in and

that have had growth in those specific towns,” Petrocca said.

Home prices on sold properties in

Greene County rose 19.5% year-overyear in 2021, according to the report.

up as the number of available homes on the market have grown more sparse, as Greene County has seen over five consecutive years of available properties. Homes are defined as single-family residences, condominiums and townhouses.

Greene reported 811 homes on the market in the fourth quarter of 2021 — a figure that fell to 635 by the end of 2019 and plummeted to 309 by the fourth quarter of 2021.

“The number of homes available has decreased significantly,” Petrocca said.

Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said the rise in home prices in the county was not unique to the area.

“I don’t think it’s limited to Greene County, I think it’s an industry thing,” he said. “I think you’ll see it all over.

I think the inventory is low, which makes the demand higher for what is available.”

The Bank of Greene County has purchased the former Trustco building at 345 Main St. in Catskill, which is located next door to the bank’s lending center at 341 Main St. (left)

Bank of Greene County President & CEO Donald Gibson in the bank’s newly aquired office building at 345 Main St. in Catskill.

the 1960s continues to have the style from that era, which Gibson said the new tenants would maintain since it has a flavor straight from the 1960s-set television show “Mad Men.” The bank’s newest acquisition is located immediately next door to Bank of Greene County’s lending center at 341 Main St. Renovations at the Main Street site will begin this spring with the work potentially completed within a year, Gibson said, barring supply chain issues caused by the pandemic.

With the purchase of the

building, the Bank of Greene County owns a half-dozen properties in Catskill that comprise its campus.

“In 2013, we needed more office space, so we were able to get the headquarters for the old Catskill Savings Bank and we restored that and moved in January 2015,” Gibson recalled. “I just love the old historic buildings and we’re trying to build a culture where as the bank gets larger we still want to be a community bank. Being ingrained here in the smaller buildings right here in the village, we can still meet everybody when

meeting was Jan. 22, 1889, and I thought I remembered that Tanners Bank were involved in that.”

Gibson verified the bank’s inaugural board of directors selected its first office space in the basement of the Main Street building in 1889 minutes.

The building was constructed in 1910, replacing the structure that originally housed Tanners Bank and Bank of Greene County’s rented basement office, which cost the company $30 per year in rent.

Trustco operated on a reduced schedule of Tuesdays and Thursdays in the 345 Main St. bank through the end of last year. The company was open to a sale of the site when approached by the Bank of Greene County.

“We told them that we wouldn’t use it for a branch, but that if they would decide to sell it, we would buy it directly from them and turn it into office space,” Gibson said.

The Bank of Greene County has 209 total employees. The bank’s human resources, lending and finance departments are slated to use office space in the historic building.

“We’ve been adding about one-and-a-half newly created positions a month for the last three years,” Gibson said.

“When an opportunity came up to buy a beauty like that, there was no way we were going to pass on it.”

In the sale contract, Trustco agreed to leave behind some of the building’s historic artifacts for the Bank of Greene County to preserve, including the bank’s original ledger books dating back to 1831.

Trustco also left its president’s conference room intact, which features oil paintings of the bank’s presidents from decades and centuries past.

Paislee Shultis, now 6, was reported missing from Cayuga Heights, Tompkins County, on July 13, 2019, when she was 4 years old. She was found alive and safe Feb. 14 at a home in Saugerties, Police Chief Joseph Sinagra said.

Saugerties police detective Erik Thiele noticed something odd about the staircase leading from the back of the residence into the basement of the house that caught his attention.

Columbia County has seen similar drops in home inventory, as 712 homes were listed at the end of 2017 and just 295 were up for sale in the fourth quarter of 2021.

When he inspected the staircase, the structure appeared to be solid, but detectives used a halogen tool to remove several of the wooden steps and that is when detectives saw a pair of tiny feet.

When police removed the

step boards, Paislee Shultis and Kimberly Shultis were discovered hiding in the dark and wet enclosure, Sinagra said.

Paislee was taken to Saugerties police headquarters, where she was met by paramedics from Diaz Ambulance, examined and released in good health, Sinagra said.

Police arrested Kimberly Shultis, 33, and charged her with second-degree custodial

metropolitan area to purchase first or second homes in the region.

“The five boroughs is definitely a huge market for home buyers in this area,” he explained. “I’d also say that central New Jersey and Long Island are the other two areas that I often see buyers coming from.”

Buyers could also be utilizing the properties for shortterm rental housing instead of residing in the homes they purchase part- or full-time, Groden added.

“Some properties are being picked up as part of this whole phenomenon of Airbnbs,” he said. “Properties are being swooped up and they never intend to live in them. They just want to rent them. That’s something that we’re seeing as well. But, in general, the real estate industry is going through a huge acquisition.”

Greene County had 1,284 home listings in 2021, down from 1,703 in 2018, with 893 closed sales last year in the county, according to the report.

we’re out and about going to the restaurants and stuff. It’s kind of a cool vibe. None of the other banks are doing it. They all want to be in the middle of a parking lot somewhere in a 100,000-square-foot building.”

The branch at 345 Main St. was designed by architect Marcus Reynolds, who also designed the Delaware & Hudson Railroad Company Building in downtown Albany. Reynolds attended preparatory school in Catskill and designed the Catskill Savings and Tanners headquarters in gratitude to the community.

“They’re beautiful buildings,” Gibson said of the twostory, glass-ceilinged structures. “We like to buy them and renovate them back so they look original. Then, we put in all new windows, insulation, fiber optics, new technology. It’s become a nice space and really ingrains our culture here on Main Street that we’re tied in with the community.”

Prior to its latest acquisition, the bank occupied five buildings on Catskill’s main thoroughfare, including an operations center at 288 Main St.; an administrative center at 302 Main St.; a lending center at 341 Main St.; a branch and investment center at 425 Main St. and a customer service center at 491 Main St. “When I started in 1987, we had the office at 425 Main St., which we still have, and at that time that was our only office,” Gibson said. “As the bank grew and became larger, we had a need for more office space. So, in 1999, we bought this building (302 Main St.), which used to be the Commercial Mutual Insurance Company. We had it restored back to the original 1929 Art Deco and got it on the historic register.

CCE Ulster new and beginning farmer series KINGSTON — Centrally located in the Mid-Hudson/ Catskill region of New York State, Ulster County is home to a diverse array of agricultural enterprises and a long agricultural history. The fertile valleys of Ulster County have been cultivated for over 700 years, and the region was one of the earliest major agricultural areas in the United States, producing food for local populations, New York City, and export markets.

Each year CCE Ulster hosts the New and Beginning Farmer Series. A collection of 1 hour workshops that help new and aspiring farmers get started! All Classes will be held online via Zoom and cost $5 each. Register for the classes online.

Unintentional Consequences 1-2 p.m. March 10.

What is THAT? To Weed or not to Weed? New fields and gardens can contain many different uninvited plants, aka weeds. During this session Master Gardener Volunteer Barbara Bravo will identify some of them and learn why we should be concerned.

Hear about some of the most common exotic, non-native plants, as well as destructive insects and an aquatic invasive weed in our water ways.

Barbara Bravo is a dedicated gardener with more than 30 years’ experience reclaiming neglected gardens as well as establishing new beds and an enclosed vegetable garden at her home in Quarryville, Saugerties. Quarryville, as you might guess from its name, is a challenging environment located a short distance from a defunct shale quarry. She has been a Master Gardener Volunteer for the past 17 years and has lectured on many gardening topics.

Introduction to Regenerative Agriculture & the Regenerative Organic Certification 1:30-3 p.m. March 17. Participants will be introduced to the concept of “regenerative agriculture,” including potential practices (e.g., cover crops) and outcomes (.e.g, carbon sequestration) and learn about the requirements and process for obtaining organic and regenerative organic certification (ROC).

Guest speakers: Katy Williams, the operations manager for Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC), and Caitlin Tucker, the New York region organic consultant with Rodale Institute.

Climate Change and Agriculture 2-3 p.m. March

24. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County is hosting two guest speakers on climate change. The first speaker is Allison Chatrchyan a Sr. Research Associate at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, and the main campus focal point for the Cornell Climate Stewards Program.

Allison will provide a general overview of climate change, as well as the science behind it, including the projected global temperature (RCP Values) graph.

The second speaker is Jenna Walczak an Ag Climate Resiliency Specialist with Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Harvest New York team. She works with extension staff to assist farmers in implementing practices to mitigate climate change and reduce its impact on New York State farms. Jenna will talk about the impact of climate change on agriculture in the Hudson Valley. Some growers in the Hudson Valley view climate change as a positive. They can now bring to full maturity crops, that 20 or 30 years ago, would not mature in this region. Jenna will explain why the changing climate is a concern and its effects on crop maturity. She will also present how weather extremes are linked to climate change, a fact that many often overlook.

Seriously Soil 1-3 p.m.

March 31. Master Gardener coordinator Dona Crawford will delve into the whys and hows of soil tests and analysis, the best soils for vegetable crop, and how to improve the soil you have. She’ll talk soil sources and blends, and tips for raised beds. Agriculture Program Administrative Assistant Courtney Churchill will review the process for commercial soil testing.

How to Make a Profit and Still Have a Good Quality of Life 2-3 p.m. April 7. Steve Hadcock, of the Capital Area Agriculture and Horticulture Program, will talk about the business of getting started in farming, focusing on the quality of life of farmers. It’s important for farmers to find a balance between work (i.e. farming) and life (i.e. their family). All too often, farmers think that if they open another location (e.g. farm stand) or plant more crops, that they will see increased profits. Steve will explain how that concept isn’t always correct, and that farmers may be losing money, as well as quality of life (i.e., missing

out on family time).

Introduction to Agroforestry 1-2:30 p.m. April 14. Participants will be introduced to the concept of agroforestry and learn the practicalities of converting pasture land to silvopasture through real examples in the Northeastern United States.

Guest speaker: Austin Unruh is the owner of Crow and Berry Land Management which works to bring silvopasture to scale in agricultural economies and focuses on transitioning pastures into silvopastures.

Introduction to Climate Resilience 1-2 p.m. April 21. Resilience is not what you think! Join Laura Lengnick, Glynwood’s Director of Agriculture, to learn how award-winning sustainable, regenerative and organic farmers and ranchers in New York and beyond are using resilience thinking to manage the growing risks caused by changing weather patterns as well as other kinds of disturbances and shocks. Come to this session if you want to add some practical new tools to your climate resilience toolbox. Although this program is hosted by CCE of Ulster County’s New and Beginning Farmer program, farmers of all kinds will benefit from taking the time to learn more about how to manage climate risk.

Farm to School 101 1-2 p.m. April 24. Katie SheehanLopez, the Regional Farm to School Coordinator for the Upper Hudson Valley, will cover the basics of selling to schools, including the school food procurement process, the NYS 30% Initiative, and opportunities for local farms to engage with schools.

Rangers rescue injured hiker on Hunter trail

Rangers Allwine and Gullen help rescue campers.

By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

ELKA PARK — Four state forest rangers rescued an out-of-state man who became injured while hiking on a trail in the town of Hunter on Monday, officials said.

The hiker, whose name was not released, was a 23-year-old man from Massachusetts, Department of Environmental Conservation spokesman Jeff Wernick said Wednesday.

A group of hikers called Greene County 911 at just before 9 a.m. to report one person in their party had temporarily lost consciousness while they camped in an area near the Pecoy Notch Trail, Wernick said.

Rangers Anastasia Allwine, Robert Dawson, John Gullen and Tyler Mitchell responded to the area where the group was

located, and reached the group at about 12:20 p.m.

The young injured hiker reported feeling dizzy and nauseated, Wernick said.

The man’s hiking companions had food, but no water, and their stove was inoperable. Rangers provided the group with food and water and helped them get back to the trailhead, Wernick said.

The rescue lasted nearly six hours.

The group returned to their cars, and rangers were back in service by 2:45 p.m.

If a person needs assistance from a state forest ranger for a search and rescue, to report a wildfire or to report illegal activity on state lands and easements, call 833-NYSRANGERS. A person who needs urgent assistance should call 911.

OUR VIEW

Raise your glasses to the vodka protest It sounded cornball at first, the way the term “freedom fries” was invented to express displeasure at the French government’s underreaction to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks against the United States.

It’s to the credit of liquor dealers in Greene and Columbia counties that they played it straight when they decided to hit Russia where it lives.

And where Russia lives, at least in these parts, is in the sale of vodka. When we heard the Wine Cellar in Catskill will no longer restock Russian-exported vodka on its shelves to protest President Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, we knew the local liquor retail industry meant business.

Across the Hudson River in Claverack, The Package Store, a purveyor of beer, wine and liquor, followed suit by announcing plans to halt all purchases of Russian products. The revolution was on.

“I stand in solidarity with Ukraine and I believe in freedom,” said Craig Demski, manager of The Package Store.

We might pass this off as an isolated

gesture to make some kind of statement, if not for the governors of Utah and New Hampshire ordering Russian-made and Russian-branded alcohol to be removed from liquor store shelves in their states.

“I directed Ohio Commerce to cease both the purchase & sale of all vodka made

by Russian Standard, the only overseas, Russian-owned distillery with vodka sold in Ohio,” Gov. Mike DeWine tweeted Tuesday.

The moves by the governors of Utah, New Hampshire and Ohio echo an international trend of boycotting Russia’s exports as a way to further sanction the country. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario, one of the world’s largest purveyors of alcohol, decided it would remove all Russian-exported products, as did West Auckland Trusts, one of New Zealand’s largest alcohol-sales chains.

Putin won’t notice what the local liquor stores did to protest the war he started, but in two small communities, it became a serious, near-poetic way to strike back at this cruel dictator.

ANOTHER VIEW

As isolationists cower, Ukrainian resistance and sanctions give Putin hell St. Louis Post-Dispatch (TNS)

Russia is now under an elevated state of nuclear readiness in response to unexpectedly strong Ukrainian resistance and an overwhelming global outcry against President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of his sovereign neighbor. Putin no doubt thought this invasion would yield a quick ouster of Ukraine’s leadership so he could install a Moscow-friendly government. Instead, he is resorting to acts of desperation to mask his embarrassment.

The invasion itself was the work of a madman, so it’s anyone’s guess what Putin might do next to protect his self-cultivated image as a steely eyed strongman. Still, Putin probably isn’t crazy enough to deploy nuclear weapons, nor are his top generals so insane that they would accede to such a command. It’s far too early in this war for the West to be talking about a face-saving way out for Putin. He deserves to feel the full brunt of the economic disaster he brought on his country, and that necessarily entails extending and deepening the sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and its Western allies.

The longer those sanctions go on, the more Americans will feel pain in their pocketbooks. Removal of Russian petroleum exports will cause gasoline prices to go up, and inflation is likely to get worse before it gets better. Some conservative isolationists, including Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, have argued that this is not America’s fight and that Ukraine is not of enough strategic importance to warrant greater U.S. involvement. At last week’s America First Political Action Conference, whose participants included two of Hawley’s conservative House

colleagues, attendees joined in a rousing cheer for Putin.

Like it or not, America is the leader of the free world and the most militarily powerful nation on Earth. There is no option for the United States to isolate itself while pretending that the expansionist aggression of its historic rival merits nothing more than shoulder-shrugging indifference here. It’s precisely because the United States has stayed engaged and has led the charge for unprecedented economic and financial sanctions on Russia that Putin is now being forced to weigh the heavy long-term consequences of his invasion.

Russia’s largest banks and richest oligarchs have lost access to international capital markets. Russian airlines have had to cancel thousands of flights as international airspace closes to them. Russian performers and sports stars find themselves shunned.

Russian technology companies cannot purchase supplies from abroad. Even perennially neutral Switzerland is imposing restrictions on Russian banking.

American conservatives and liberals alike must recognize that this nation was built on a bedrock foundation of freedom, and Putin’s goal is to restore Russia’s Soviet-era grandeur by military force while using murder and imprisonment to silence all dissent.

Those who cheer Putin are celebrating subjugation and oppression. With the threat of nuclear escalation looming, which is more likely to make Putin stand down: unified defiance under American leadership, or isolationist apathy and cowardice? ©2022 STLtoday.com.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘The ground upon which you stand is holy ground: Never, never surrender it.’

ANGELINA WELD GRIMKE

The West gives Putin a refresher course in physics - and judo WASHINGTON — The physics of international politics sometimes tidily illustrate Newton’s third law of motion: When two bodies interact, their forces on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Vladimir Putin’s war has provoked opposite forces of more than equal magnitude.

NATO was created in 1949 to (said its first secretary general) “keep the Soviet Union out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.” Putin has provoked Germany to do what various U.S. presidents have fruitlessly exhorted it to do: stand up. That is, to embrace diplomatic and military roles commensurate with its European centrality and economic vigor.

For decades, Germany’s foreign policy had often been liberal, as Robert Frost defined a liberal: someone “too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.” But in last Sunday’s emergency Bundestag session, Chancellor Olaf Scholz of the left-of-center Social Democrats said goodbye to all that.

“To set boundaries for warmongers like Putin,” Scholz announced 100 billion euros ($113 billion) to modernize Germany’s military. Germany will at last meet NATO’s goalcum-duty for members to spend 2% of gross domestic product on defense, a commitment tepidly avowed by, and not constraining for, most NATO members. Germany, Scholz said, will build “the next generation of battle tanks,” and might purchase U.S. F-35 fighter jets and — Germany has been queasy about drones — Israeli drones. Two liquefied natural gas terminals will be built to receive LNG from the United States and Qatar, reducing Germany’s current 55% dependence on Russian gas.

Germany, which is sending Ukraine missiles and armored vehicles, has ended its opposition to other countries transferring German-made weapons (howitzers from Estonia,

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL rocket-propelled grenades from the Netherlands) to an active conflict zone.

In Scholz’s coalition government, the foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, is from the generally pacifist Green party.

She said Germany’s “180-degree turn” means “leaving behind a form of special restraint in foreign and security policy,” but “if our world is different, then our politics must also be different.” The coalition’s third party, the Free Democrats, stands for fiscal rectitude but called the increased defense spending “an investment in our future.” Credit Putin for this epochal transformation.

Some people eager to propitiate Putin have suggested the “Finlandization” of Ukraine.

A 1948 treaty with Moscow lodged Finland firmly in the Soviet sphere of influence.

But Pekka Haavisto, the current foreign minister of Finland (which is a member of the European Union but not of NATO), says of Finlandization: “We don’t recommend that path to anyone.” And: “It is very important that NATO keeps its open-door policy, that Finland keeps the right to apply ... and that is our position for Ukraine and Georgia as well.” In Sweden, too, NATO membership is being considered.

In 1910, almost 40 remarkably peaceful European years after the Franco-Prussian war, Norman Angell published “The Great Illusion,” which became one of the first international bestsellers. His argument was that major wars — those between developed nations

— would be prohibitively expensive, hence futile, hence unlikely. Wars had become too disruptive to be feasible in an economically interconnected world.

Stanford University’s president agreed: “The Great War of Europe, ever threatening ... will never come. ... The bankers will not find the money for such a fight, the industries of Europe will not maintain it.” David Starr Jordan said this in 1913, the year before the beginning of, essentially, a 30-year European war.

Eleven decades after Angell wrote, the ever-thickening fabric of globalization is still insufficient to prevent all wars.

It might, however, enable noncombatant nations to coordinate the inflicting of economic pain severe enough to force even a barely developed nation, such as Putin’s ramshackle Russia, to buckle.

Putin’s Russia might be, in President Barack Obama’s dismissive estimation, a “regional power.” But its region is Europe. And as Dominic Sandbrook, the British historian, says, “Fixated on their own modernity, obsessed with the here and now, many Western politicians seem unable to grasp that at the eastern edge of Europe, history really matters.” That they grasp it now is another of Putin’s self-wounding ricochets.

Daniel Yergin, in “The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations,” writes: “In 1976, the Leningrad Evening News reported that a previously unknown local ‘judoist’ had won a judo competition” and predicted that more would be heard about him. He was the 23-year-old Vladimir Putin.

One principle of judo is to turn an attacker’s force against him.

This is what — Newton’s third law of motion applied to international affairs — the 69-yearold Putin is now experiencing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Working hard to bring about positive change To the editor: Community colleges, which are a life-changer for millions of Americans, have their roots in the Land Grant Act of 1862, which expanded access to public higher education, making it possible for the historically underserved.

Today, when economic disparity continues to be such a severe issue in our society and student debt stunts the dreams of millions, the need for that kind of inclusion is as great as ever.

With its emphasis on professional and short-term certificates in fields that range from information technology, electronics, and digital media to nursing, mortuary

science, welding and fabrication, and so much more, community college is vital to the workforce development of our nation. However, only 4% of philanthrophic dollars donated to higher education go to these institutions, which means that their financial situation is often at risk.

Rep. Antonio Delgado (D, NY-19) is throwing community colleges a lifeline. Joining Rep. Alma Adams (D, NC-12), he has reintroduced the Gateway to Careers Act, first introduced in the 116th Congress, which would fund partnerships between community or technical colleges and workforce development

Area girl wins DAR Good Citizen Award

By Dede Terns-Thorpe For Columbia-Greene Media

Leonora Flahive was the daughter of the late H-T-C School’s history and physical education instructor, Jim Flahive, and his wife, Eileen.

Mr. Flahive also held a summertime position as a physical education instructor at the NY Police Camp; the young couple met, Eileen as a lifeguard, and Jim, the physical education trainer.

It was back in 1957 when Lenora Flahive, along with Windham’s Sandra Cross, won the ‘Good Citizens’ Essay.’ Leonora was a senior at Hunter-Tannersville-Central school and among five girls in Greene County presented with awards. The Onteora Chapter of the DAR gave the awards for high qualities in dependability, leadership, service, and patriotism.

“We youths of the United States of American have a grave responsibility to fulfill.

The preservation of freedom in this, the greatest democracy of all, is one of our primary obligations. Our forefathers wrested this precious freedom from the tyrannical powers of imperialism. They protected

our sacred union, consecrated in the blood of brothers, during the heartbreaking War between the States, through two World Wars, the Stars and Stripes flew high and proud over the courageous men fighting and dying to keep it aloft.

What can young people do to help uphold our Democratic principles and maintain peace? First, we must become aware of the precarious world situation. We must look ahead to foresee possible difficulties; studying, learning, and absorbing political science, as we have absorbed our three R’s, for the students of today are our leaders of tomorrow.

We must uphold our freedoms in our own country, keeping it pure from within. A person with strong morals is unlikely to be corrupted by outside influence, so our great nation will stand impregnable to the cancerous pressures of Communism as long as we, its defenders, serve the cause of the right and the just. We must be constantly watchful lest we allow Communism to infiltrate the minds of our young people. Juvenile delinquents who resist authority, not only

THE PUBLIC NEEDS THE TRUTH; NOT SOCIAL MEDIA HEADLINES & FAKE NEWS. #SupportRealNews

of teachers and parents but of the very laws of our country, are ripe for communist propaganda. Many of them will endorse anything that sympathizes with their desire to rebel. This situation is greatly alleviated by the multitudes of well-balanced youths who recognize the need for authority and try to curtail it by showing that they act as mature, considerate, and responsible citizens.

Recognizing our duty and remaining always “for God and Country,” we young citizens of America, joining the legions of our forefathers, dedicate ourselves to think, vote, and fight to pass on intact our “Ramparts of Democracy.”

— Lenore L. Flahive. Hunter-Tannersville School.

I’m sure similar goals could still be written today.

The Daughters of the American Revolution was founded on October 11, 1890. It is a volunteer organization that dedicate their time and resources to the fulfillment of the DAR’s three main objectives: Historic Preservation, Patriotism, and Education. These objectives had remained unchanged throughout DAR’s 130+ years.

Lester “Sonny” F. Miller December 6, 1932 - February 27, 2022 Lifelong Copake resident Lester “Sonny” F. Miller, 89, passed peacefully with family members at his side, Sunday, February 27, 2022 at Berkshire Medical Center.

Born December 6, 1932 to Lester and Bertha (Balogh) in Copake, he was raised to the age of nine in Connecticut, then returned to Copake to live and work on his grandfather’s farm, because he loved the country life. After marrying in 1956 to Joan McCumiskey, he started his own bulldozing and excavating business as well as working part-time for the Copake Town Highway Department for 10 years. During this time he was captain of the Copake Community Rescue Squad, a captain and then commissioner of the Copake Fire Department.

U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, speaks during a Back the Blue rally in front of the Jefferson County Court building in Watertown in 2020.

Biden’s remarks on the war in Ukraine, which included an announcement that Russian planes would be barred from American skies, reflected ineffective sanctions.

“I believe his sanctions and actions today didn’t go far enough,” she said. “It didn’t include 100 percent of SWIFT banking sanctions, it didn’t address how we’re going to get munitions and weapons

into the country faster, and it didn’t address how we’re going to completely mothball and completely red-light the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.”

In his remarks, the president seemed to flout the progressive wing of his party by calling for increasing police funding. Rep. Stefanik said that statement bore little meaning because the president has not demonstrated

Canada bars Russian vessels from national waters No Russian ships will be permitted to travel through the St. Lawrence Seaway, thanks to a decree this week from the Canadian transportation ministry.

Transport Canada announced a ban in an announcement Tuesday will be implemented this week through the Canadian Special Economic Measures Act, barring Russian-owned or operated vessels from

Canadian ports or internal waters. The waters include the St. Lawrence Seaway, which is co-managed by the Canadian and U.S. governments.

“Russia must be held accountable for its aggression in Ukraine,” Canadian Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said in a prepared statement. “Canada will continue to do what is necessary to respond. Today, we are

taking steps to close Canadian ports and internal waters to Russian-owned or registered ships.”

The St. Lawrence Seaway is currently not open, but is expected to open around the end of March.

“The government of Canada condemn’s Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and we will continue to take action to stand with Ukraine,” Alghabra said.

She is survived by her husband of 42 years William Osuch her sons Charles Dunlap and Sandra of Cape Cod, MA, and Nathaniel Osuch, and her beloved grandson Bryan Garrett Dunlap. Deborah is the beloved daughter of Janet Sigler Dobrowski and Lowell Sigler, both deceased, and sister of Timothy, Steven and Mark Sigler.

Debbie retired from the Hudson City School District after 26 years as a Teaching Assistant in Special Education. As a CSEA Union activist she served as secretary and treasurer of the Local 811 Hudson City School District Teachers Aides Unit and as secretary of the local unit.

A celebration of Debbie’s life will be announced and shared at a later time.

WASHINGTON — Congresswoman Elise M. Stefanik was in the room for Tuesday’s State of the Union address from President Joseph R. Biden, and after the speech she said she was disappointed in what the president said.

“This was an opportunity for Joe Biden to completely shift his policies that have failed across America, and he did not do that,” she said in a phone interview shortly after the speech ended.

Rep. Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, said she was hoping to hear an end of the “tax-andspend” policies of Democrats, and instead the president asked Congress to pass a bill with a trillion-dollar price tag.

She said President Biden neglected to address American energy independence, which she said should include liquified natural gas permits and a green light for the nowshuttered Keystone XL pipeline project.

She also said President

pro-police policies.

“When Joe Biden went to the state of New York, he said the rest of the country should be following New York’s strategy when it comes to law enforcement and criminal justice reform, which has been anti-police,” she said.

The congresswoman said President Biden did present points of agreement, in working on ending the opioid epidemic and on the Cancer Moonshot project that seeks to cure the disease.

“But one way you have to combat (the opioid epidemic) is securing the southern border,” she said.

After the speech, Rep. Stefanik said she had a moment to speak with the president by virtue of her rank as House Republican Conference Chair.

“I did raise the issue of opening the northern border and how important that is to our district,” she said. “We’re going to continue pushing on that.”

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Dan Devine March The 5Fifth Revolution – April 3 CHATHAM — The Thompson Giroux Gallery presents the Fifth Revolution a series of new works by contemporary artist Dan Devine. These sculptures made of molded and stitched leather with motorcycle parts present a confluence of Devine’s personal history and artistic practice.

Devine’s new work encourages an urgent rumination on the implications of the emerging fifth industrial revolution and its living machines.

The choice of leather and motorcycle parts derives from two periods of Devine’s pre-artistic career: first as a competitive motocross racer in both America and Europe and later as a leather artisan at Jamie Jacob’s leather shop on Haight Street in San Francisco during the height of the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. Devine employs these personally-significant materials to explore his career-long interest in recording objects and reversing conceptual boundaries. In earlier bodies of work, Devine had applied such tactics to blur the division of internal/external with his Inside-Out series (including his well-known Inside Out Cars) and of watching/watched with his Surveillance Sculptures series. In The Fifth Revolution, Devine turns his attention to the eroding boundary of biological/technological.

For these sculptures, Devine cut commercially produced cowhides and formed them by molding the leather pieces around motorcycle parts. Devine utilizes the unique properties of cowhide to produce simultaneous positive and negative records of the engulfed machinery. The haunted impressions left by the absented machine parts act as a memento memori, reminders of the fragile, machine-like systems that keep us alive.

When thinking of Devine’s new work alongside such artificial aides, these sculptures seem to offer an emotional prosthesis for our own time: providing an experience of coming together when such an event feels almost impossible.

At the center of The Fifth Revolution is Rider, the largest sculpture of the exhibition. The 350cc twin-engine JAWA 350

“Rider”, 2021, Molded and stitched leather and painted motorcycle, 42” x 66” x 30” by Dan Devine on view March 5 - April 3rd at Thompson Giroux Gallery in Chatham.

used in Rider offers a direct reference to Devin’s history as a motorcycle racer: while competing in international motocross races, Devine was sponsored by JAWA, a Czechoslovakian motorcycle made on the other side of Iron Curtain by a state-controlled communist manufacturer. In our contemporary age, the profound anxiety of an American rider racing successfully on a communist-produced bike may elude many of us, but at its time in the 1960’s, this uneasy pairing made Devine a competitor non grata amongst many of his peers.

The motorcycle of Rider has been plucked and stripped of all its mechanical parts and then painted a fleshy oxblood red (which also happens to be the racing color of Czech motorcycles). The motorcycle frame is then wrapped in molded leather, achieving Devine’s long sought after inside-out motorcycle. The challenge of the inside out motorcycle stems from the fact, as Devine illuminates, that “a motorcycle is already inside out.” And so Devine employs his tactic of reversal, inverting not the physical structure of the motorcycle, but rather the relationship to the motorcycle,

reversing the dichotomy of man and machine to allude to a single hybrid entity, the ultimate ambition and anxious phantom at the center of the fifth industrial revolution: the living machine.

In The Fifth Revolution, Dan Devine has produced a new series of sculptures that uneasily pair man and machine, couplings that seem haunting harbingers of an inevitable future that make us pause and ask, “Where are we going?” And it is this ability of Devine — to raise necessary questions and bring together such unlikely and even conflicting elements — that make him a necessary and important artist for our own seemingly irreconcilable and disconcerting times.

Dreary sci-fi western set in a dusty Mars frontier

By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

The new science-fiction picture, “Settlers,” stars Jonny Lee Miller as Reza, the protective, hot-tempered patriarch of a family that has colonized and thrived on the planet Mars.

To the dismay of his wife Ilsa (Sofia Boutella) and 10-year-old daughter Remmy (Brooklynn Prince), they learn they are not alone. Someone has written the word “LEAVE” in blood on a window of their ranch home.

These shadowy, unwelcome visitors terrorize the family with the sounds of gunshots and revved-up motorcycles.

For Reza, this is the last straw.

Armed and angry, he ventures out into the Martian desert to hunt down his family’s tormentors, but at a cost, because Reza is shot and killed. Returning to the ranch is Jerry (Ismael Cruz Cordova), a hulking Mars colonist determined to reclaim the homestead that once belonged to his parents.

He also embarks on a crafty plan to destroy the rest of Reza’s family by seducing Ilsa and pretending to compensate for

Remmy’s loss by becoming a substitute father.

Since the onset of the pandemic, indie sci-fi pictures have been received with gamechanging enthusiasm. There have been odd gleams of gold: the Russian creature feature “Sputnik,” the satiric and engaging invasion film “Save Yourselves!” and the acclaimed “The Vast of Space” about mysterious radio signals that could herald the world’s end.

Such ambition is worthy, but Wyatt Rockefeller’s movie, far from seeming vital and bursting

with ideas, comes across as hopelessly calculated, clumsily doling out miserly bits of detail and, worse, a healthy measure of racial nastiness.

This is true of the awkwardly constructed script (written by Rockefeller) — Reza, his wife and daughter turn out to be the squatters; Ilsa killed Jerry’s father, and Jerry, who is half-Black and has every right to stake his claim to the land, is conceived as a violent, murderous sexual predator bent on raping the teenage Remmy (played late in the movie by a gifted British

actress named Nell Tiger Free) as if he were a barbaric tribesman from a 1940s jungle potboiler.

To be fair, however, the panoramic Martian landscape and ranch house have been photographed and designed in a convincing muted style; the dust, reddened by a distant sun, seems to glow. The performances are minimalist but intense, the dialogue terse and spare, befitting the isolated environment.

Watching this uneven sci-fi western, however, is like sitting in front of the screen playing fill in the blanks. Rockefeller is stingy about conveying backstory and necessary plot points. The biosphere provides oxygen, yet the atmosphere outside it also seems breathable. When little Remmy asks dad if he has seen any Earth animals, he simply replies “Dogs.” The final scene is mildly surprising but lacks the forboding edge that might have made it an ironic classic, like the climax of “Planet of the Apes.”

There isn’t much audacity in the closing of a steel door.

WINTER RESCUE TRAINING AT NORTH-SOUTH LAKE CAMPGROUND

Things are starting to happen on the mountain top

By Lula Anderson For Columbia-Greene Media

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Region 4 Forest Rangers participated in winter rescue training on Feb. 7 at North-South Lake Campground and Day Use Area to review winter gear essentials, techniques to keep warm, providing care to injured individuals in a cold environment and moving through snow or icecovered terrain. Rangers practiced these techniques during a practice scenario where they had to provide patient care to a hiker with an unstable leg injury, keep the subject warm, package the patient into a sked, and transport them out to a trailhead. This training helps ensure Rangers are prepared to respond to difficult and sometimes hazardous winter rescues, and a reminder to take care of themselves while providing care to the public.

The Wine Bar did good business while people were looking for a place to go while waiting for their table. Town is so different from when we were growing up. I never see local people around unless it’s to run in the post office. On one hand, I’m glad to see all the people who are adding to our economy, but I do miss the local traffic.

Sympathy to the Laterza family on the passing of Michelle who was a WAJ graduate, also to the Charles Cross Jr. family and the Andreasen family on the passing of Tom. Prayers for Alice Vedder and Tom Bristol. Thoughts and prayers go to the family of Louise Begley, 99, who passed away surrounded by her family on Sunday evening.

Back to the story of Home Demo, Charlene comments: “We were taught to restore wood furniture using different methods. One was just to clean it up and either paint or stain it and seal it. Another was to strip it and then refinish it.

You could also antique it by painting in layers. The question asked is, when cleaning the piece, you used a three step method. Does anyone remember what each step was, and what products were used in each step?”

AS I REMEMBER IT With the coming of spring, the waterways are thawing, and ice jams are very common in the Mohawk and Hudson rivers. Streams are backed up with large chunks of ice that are impeding the flow. Lakes and ponds overflow with the addition of spring rains and snow melt. I ask why this is a relatively new occurrance.

Why don’t I remember this happening in my youth? Back then, the ice was constantly

being harvested and being saved for the summer by the ice man and his crew. One of my readers tells his story: In the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s, my Dad, Frank Gabriele and my uncle, Frank DelVecchio, both of Athens owned the Greene County Ice Company in Catskill.

They delivered both ice and coal all over Greene County, including to many customers on the mountaintop. So, this might answer, at least partially, who delivered coal on the mountaintop.

They owned an icehouse on Cauterskill Creek in the town of Catskill. They took ice off the Cauterskill Creek in December and January of each winter. On occasion, we had an “open” winter down here in the valley, when it was not cold enough for the creek to freeze sufficiently and so they would go up to Rip Van Winkle Lake in Tannersville to take ice off that lake and transport it to the icehouse in Catskill.

They would put the new cake of ice in your icebox and then they would empty your pan of water from the melted ice.

They served many bars, taverns, resorts and other businesses on the mountaintop.

They would place large cakes of ice in these large farm-type tubs at taverns and then reduce those cake of ice to chips with an ice pick, faster than the eye could follow.

Some folks of a certain age may well remember this Ice Company and these men.

Other men who delivered to the mountaintop for the company were: George DelVecchio, Joseph DelVecchio, Patsy Bruno and my Uncle Mike Gabriele who served in World War II as a member of the 9th Infantry Division and was decorated with a Silver Star for heroism in combat. All of these men lived in Athens.

I thank all who read my column and help me answer questions. Also a big thanks to all who have a story to tell. Anytime I can include it, I will. For many years, memories of our youth haven’t changed. What I remember can bring back other’s youth.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: Matt Fortunato Columbia-Greene Media

AVERILL PARK — The Ichabod Crane Riders’ season came to an end Tuesday night in a 50-33 loss to the Schalmont Sabres, a top-two team in the New York State Class B rankings and the top seed in the Section II Class B girls basketball playoffs.

Schalmont’s Payton Graber led the floor with 30 points and drained a staggering eight three pointers for the Sabres. Siena Hallberg added 12 points for Schalmont, knocking down four shots from beyond the arc herself.

Malati Culver led the Riders’ offense with eight points, Carolina Williams had seven, and Ashley Ames contributed five points for Ichabod Crane.

Neither team could make a shot in the first few minutes of the contest as both defenses did well crowding the shooters and getting hands and arms in their faces often. Abigail Dolge drove into the paint and made a nice floater for the Riders’ first points of the game and gave them a 2-1 lead close to midway through the first period.

Graber found a loose ball for the Sabres and drove to the basket for the bucket and the foul. She made the free throw to complete the three point play.

Schalmont boxed out Ichabod Crane with ease nearly the entire first quarter and after another rebound led to an easy two points at the other end, the Riders called a timeout down 9-2.

Despite their lack of physicality under the basket, the Riders made up for it by tying up the ball handler a number of times to force jump balls and turnovers throughout the first period. Ichabod Crane stayed close as the first quarter

For C-A: setter Sam Mozzillo had 30 assists, 10 digs, 6 aces, 3 kills and 1 block; Robert Rebusman had 7 kills, 7 aces and 2 digs; Brandon Morehouse had 11 kills, 3 blocks and 4 digs; Matt Burch had 7 kills and 2 digs; Matt Clark had 3 aces, 8 kills, 7 blocks and

Early in the second quarter, Carolina Williams got an offensive rebound and passed it to Dolge, who then dished to Delaney More for the short range

The Nets’ blame game should start and end with Kyrie Irving Dennis Young New York Daily News

NEW YORK — Even before the Nets’ first superstar got injured and their second superstar forced a trade, home games in Barclays Center were a civic embarrassment. Rowdy local teenagers rained M-V-P chants on Steph Curry in November; a half-full arena worshipped LeBron James’ every move when the Lakers visited in January. As a resident of one of the neighborhoods surrounding the Barclays Center, I can attest that, in an area largely bereft of conspicuous basketball fandom, whatever faint NBA team spirit does exist around these parts comes in the form of Julius Randle or LeBron jerseys.

And it only got worse from there.

Kevin Durant got hurt and James Harden forced his way out of town, and home games went from cringeworthy to noncompetitive disgrace. The Raptors cruised to a 36-point blowout at Barclays on Monday night, barely raising eyebrows because getting torched by the likes of Scottie Barnes is a regular occurrence in Brooklyn now. The loss dropped the Nets to 13-17 at home. Without the unvaccinated Kyrie Irving to shoulder any of the load, they’ve won a single home game in the last six weeks.

strapped on the hot dog suit as they scour the the barren Earth for the culprit.

Mayor Eric Adams says it’s his predecessor’s fault that Irving can’t play at home. He’s

implied that Bill de Blasio’s Boston roots led him to create the tortured vaccine mandates that allow unvaccinated players from visiting teams but not New York ones. “I think the rule is unfair,” Adams said last month. “We are saying to out-of-town athletes that they can come in and not be vaccinated, yet New York athletes, you have to be vaccinated ... I’m not sure if a Boston fan created this rule, I don’t know.”

The degree to which Adams is joking becomes less clear as he keeps bringing it up, harping on it on the same day that he announced his pending repeal of the rule in question.

“Makes no sense, and I don’t know who thought about putting such a ridiculous rule in place,” he said, “of away teams can come and play when our teams from New York (can’t), but these are the rules, and I have to -- I have to follow the rules.”

But the Key2NYC is gone as of next week, and Adams doesn’t have to follow the rules; he makes them. And anyway, there are perhaps a small handful of unvaccinated NBA players remaining, and none of them are remotely as consequential to their teams as Irving. In reality, there is no competitive advantage for road teams able to bring in unvaccinated players, See NETS B3

Marcus Foligno scored the lone goal for Minnesota, which dropped its fourth game in a row. Wild goaltender Cam Talbot turned aside 22 of 26 shots and fell to 19-12-1.

Red Wings 4, Hurricanes 3 (OT) Lucas Raymond scored a power-play goal with eight seconds left in overtime as host Detroit ended Carolina’s five-game winning streak.

Carter Rowney, Michael Rasmussen and Dylan Larkin scored in regulation for Detroit. Red Wings goalie Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 27 shots.

Sebastian Aho, Jesper Fast and Jordan Staal scored for the Hurricanes. Antti Raanta made 37 saves.

Blue Jackets 4, Devils 3 Patrik Laine’s goal early in the third period proved to be the game-winner as host Columbus edged New Jersey.

Jake Christiansen’s first NHL goal tied the game in the first for the Blue Jackets, who took the lead for good on Oliver Bjorkstrand’s goal later in the period.

Boone Jenner gave Columbus its first two-goal lead early in the second before Laine scored his 14th goal in his last 13 games – the most goals in a 13-game span in team history.

Goalie Elvis Merzlikins made 30 saves as the Blue Jackets snapped a two-game losing streak.

The only thing that matters are the standings.

The Nets absorbed their second straight loss to the Toronto Raptors, this time a 109-108 defeat on the other side of the Canadian border on Tuesday. It was a valiant effort considering the bludgeoning they took on the Barclays Center floor on Monday in New York.

But a loss is a loss. And this one makes two in a row.

The Raptors used a 13-2 run to pull away in the fourth quarter and outscored the Nets 28-19 in the final period. Nets veteran wing James Johnson hit a 3-pointer as time expired, but there was no contact, thus no foul, thus no opportunity for an extra point at the free-throw line.

The loss moves the Nets three games behind the Raptors, who sit seventh in the Eastern Conference, and

four games behind the sixthseeded Boston Celtics, who defeated the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday.

Barring a winning streak of epic proportions, the Nets remain destined for the play-in tournament, where they’re set to meet the same Raptors team they lost twice to this week. Nets star Kyrie Irving is ineligible to travel across the border into Canada, and he remains ineligible to play at Barclays Center, even if the Key2NYC vaccine mandate is lifted on March 7.

That means under current mandates, there’s no scenario where Irving can help the Nets in a play-in tournament matchup against the Raptors. And if the Nets lose to the Raptors in the play-in game, they’ll have homecourt advantage against the winner of the 9-10 game, which means Irving will be unable to help the Nets there, as well.

Karl-Anthony Towns scored 39 points and grabbed nine rebounds, D’Angelo Russell added 22 points and seven assists and the Minnesota Timberwolves cruised to a 129-114 win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday in Minneapolis.

The Timberwolves went on a 12-1 run to close the first quarter and take a lead they never relinquished. Minnesota’s advantage swelled to as many as 21 points through a combination of efficient offense and stingy defense.

Minnesota held Golden State to 41-of-90 shooting on the other end, including 13of-45 from deep.

Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 34 points but hit just 5 of 16 3-point attempts.

Golden State’s Damion Lee added 15 points.

Celtics 107, Hawks 98 Boston overcame a 17-point deficit in the first half to defeat visiting Atlanta.

Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 33 points on 12-for25 shooting to go along with eight rebounds and seven assists. The Celtics held a 56-33 scoring edge in the second half.

Atlanta’s Trae Young scored 31 points but shot just 2 of 7 from the 3-point arc and was held to nine points in the second half. Bogdan Bogdanovic scored 15 of his 25 after halftime.

The Rockets absorbed their 10th consecutive loss.

Jalen Green scored 20 points, Christian Wood tallied 17 points and eight rebounds and Jae’Sean Tate posted 12 points and nine rebounds.

Wizards 116, Pistons 113 Kyle Kuzma collected 21 points and nine rebounds to fuel host Washington to a victory over Detroit.

Thomas Bryant had 16 points off the bench and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 15 for the Wizards, who had eight players score in double figures. Washington shot 50 percent from both the floor (41 of 82) and 3-point range (13 of 26) en route to snapping a modest two-game losing skid.

Jerami Grant led Detroit with 26 points, highlighted by a 3-for-5 performance from 3-point range. Rookie Cade Cunningham contributed 20 points and nine rebounds and Saddiq Bey added 19 points and seven boards.

Bucs keeping light on for Tom Brady as questions burn bright in offseason Rick Stroud Tampa Bay Times

INDIANAPOLIS — Jason Licht wishes the NFL scouting combine had not been canceled a year ago due to COVID-19. With all the league coaches and executives annually descending on this midwestern town to evaluate draft prospects, it’s the week for champions to take a bow.

“I wish we had a combine last year,” the Bucs general manager said Tuesday. “I would’ve walked around like Ric Flair.”

Instead, the Bucs are wrestling with how to replace Tom Brady following the quarterback’s retirement after winning 29 games and a Super Bowl in two remarkable seasons in Tampa Bay. It was no surprise when Licht and coach Bruce Arians held a series of news conferences Tuesday that the biggest topic was Brady.

Specifically, do the Bucs believe there is a chance he could change his mind and play in 2022?

Licht stirred up some hope when he said earlier in the day the Bucs would “leave the light on” for Brady should he change his mind about retirement.

“I have no information,” Licht said. “Because we’re friends, I’ve talked to Tom several times, but not about this. So I don’t have any information that he’s going to come back or he isn’t going to come back. I think what I was saying was on a player like Tom Brady, you never shut the door. I said leave the light on.

“So, until we make a decision on what we’re going to do or it presents itself -- sometimes, the decision isn’t made by you, sometimes it’s made by other factions. Never say never, but I don’t have any information that says, ‘yeah, he’s coming back.’”

Arians, however, believes Brady has played his last snap in the NFL. “I was one of the ones that was just the opposite,” Arians said. “Every time I met with (Brady), he felt fantastic. Every time I kept asking him, ‘How you feel? How you feel?’ He said, ‘It’s the best I’ve felt in 10 years,’ in Week 16. The way he was playing, I had myself convinced he was coming back. Then when we talked, I understood everything about it.

“He slammed (the door) shut when I talked to him. I think like a lot of these guys, he likes to have his name out there.”

Furthermore, Arians said, if Brady wants to

DIRK SHADD/TAMPA BAY TIMES

return to play for another team, the Bucs won’t grant his wish. Tampa Bay plans to put Brady on the reserve/retirement list after June 1 to reduce the hit on the team’s salary cap but retain his rights.

“Five No. 1s. Maybe,” Arians said when asked if he would trade Brady.

Why not grant Brady’s wish after all he accomplished during his two seasons in Tampa Bay? “Nope,” Arians said. “Bad business.”

The business of finding a proven starting quarterback isn’t an easy one for the Bucs.

Unlike two years ago, when players such as Brady, Philip Rivers and Drew Brees were free agents, quarterbacks such as the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers and the Seahawks’ Russell Wilson can only be acquired via trade. The Bucs have a wish list of about eight quarterbacks, Arians said. But he’s not optimistic the best ones will be available.

“I mean, trades are just out of the question, I think,” Arians said. “You’ve got to have a partner.

These guys aren’t just willingly calling, “Hey you want my guy?’ Who’s behind door No. 2 for them?

I don’t see very many of these guys getting traded. There may be one. At max, two of the guys we think can take us to the Super Bowl.

“I like about eight of them, but they’re all playing for somebody else.”

One of the quarterbacks that could be available through trade is the Texans’ Deshaun Watson. But the 26-year-old former Clemson star faces civil suits from 22 women who allege sexual assault. He also has 10 criminal complaints against him that haven’t been settled.

Arians said Tuesday that Bucs ownership would have to sign off on any pursuit of Watson.

“I’ve known the kid for a long time,” Arians said. “Shocked that he’s in this situation. But that would be a strict organizational sign-off.”

Among the free-agent quarterbacks available is Jameis Winston, who is recovering from an ACL injury he suffered in a win over the Bucs

last season. Winston passed for more than 5,000 yards with 33 touchdown passes and 30 interceptions in his only season under Arians in 2019. The Bucs haven’t completely ruled out a comeback for their former No. 1 overall pick, but it seems very unlikely.

“Not totally,” Arians said when asked if he had ruled out a Winston return. “But I don’t think it’s the best thing for him.”

Two quarterbacks the Bucs believe will be in the equation are former Florida Gators star Kyle Trask and Blaine Gabbert, who also is a free agent.

The 32-year-old Gabbert hasn’t started a game since 2018 and played only in mop-up duty the past three seasons with the Bucs. A former firstround pick of the Jaguars, he had eight head coaches and nine offensive coordinators in his first eight seasons.

“I think everyone is judged on record,” Arians said. “When you’re playing on a (bad) team and you get drafted high, No. 1, you’re going to be on a (bad) team. Ben (Roethlisberger) was lucky. He went No. 11 and went to the Steelers on a good team. You go through those growing pains ... but you’ve got to have something about you to keep going.

“I know what he can do. I don’t judge records from that past. What are you going to do for me today? And I like what he can do today. He was crucial to Tom’s development, and he’s got the answers to the test. Now, does he still have the skill level to do it? I think so.”

That leaves Trask, whom Arians says will get every chance to win the job in training camp.

“It will be open competition, because Kyle is going to get a great, great shot,” Arians said. “I mean, he’s earned his shot, and I’m really impressed the way he improved the things he needed. When he was running the scout team, presence in the pocket, movement in the pocket, all those little things on and off the field that Tom taught him -- leaning out, getting a little quicker.

“So yeah, he can throw it. It’s a matter of does he turn it over? Or if it’s Blaine, does he turn it over?”

Licht will walk the halls of the Indianapolis Convention Center and talk to other teams about acquiring a quarterback this week. But it won’t be a victory lap.

“It’s not as easy as what my neighbor thinks it is, just go trade for another All Pro quarterback,” Licht said. “Believe it or not, teams do not want to let go of their All Pro quarterback.”

Baffert sues Churchill Downs, others to be allowed to run in Kentucky Derby John Cherwa Los Angeles Times

In an expected move that will heighten the uncertainty about who can run in this year’s Kentucky Derby, Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert filed suit in federal court against Churchill Downs Inc., chief executive Bill Carstanjen and board chair Alex Rankin, to allow him to run horses in the world’s most famous thoroughbred race.

The complaint, filed Tuesday in the Western District of Kentucky, alleges that Baffert’s constitutional right to due process was violated when Churchill Downs suspended him for two years after the positive drug test for last year’s winner Medina Spirit.

“The notion that Churchill Downs ... could unilaterally ban a trainer by an edict coupled in a press release without having the facts or any semblance of due process should arouse outrage in any fair-minded person,” said Clark Brewster, who is representing Baffert in this matter.

Nets From B1

unless you’re really jealous that the other team gets to use Justin Holiday while Irving sits.

The other Nets players say they can carry the load without Irving and passive-aggressively blame Harden, blaming his toxic disinterest for the team’s losing ways. After winning their first home game with Seth Curry and Andre Drummond, who came north in the Harden trade, the players Irving has hung out to dry threw an ostentatious celebration for the media’s benefit, then proclaimed everything was better. “The locker room is just a great vibe in there right now,” Bruce Brown said after the Feb. 14 win over the Kings at Barclays. “I don’t know what it is. Everything just shifted after the trade deadline. Everybody likes everybody, it’s just great.” That was the first home win for the Nets in a month; it would be their last for at least three weeks, as they haven’t won in Brooklyn since.

Harden has looked tremendous as a 76er since pouting

Baffert’s long-time attorney, Craig Robertson, has excluded himself from this situation because his firm also has Churchill Downs as a client.

Churchill Downs was swift with its rebuttal.

“The lawsuit filed by Bob Baffert is disappointing but certainly not surprising,” CDI said in a statement. “His claims are meritless and consistent with his pattern of failed drug tests, denials, excuses and attempts to blame others and identify loopholes in order to avoid taking responsibility for his actions.

“These actions have harmed the reputations of the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs and the entire thoroughbred racing industry. Churchill Downs will fight this baseless lawsuit and defend our company’s rights.

What’s at stake here is the integrity of our races, the safety of horses and the trust of the millions of fans and bettors who join us every year on the first Saturday in May.”

The one thing that has been certain the last year is that the winner of last year’s Kentucky Derby would be decided in the courts. After more than eight months, Medina Spirit was disqualified last week by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission after testing positive for betamethasone, a legal antiinflammatory medication that

his way out of Brooklyn, and he’s been mocked for the hamstring “tightness and strength deficit” that appeared miraculously healed once he was paired with Joel Embiid. But this was no normal NBA divorce. Irving explicitly told the world that whatever value he sees in remaining unvaccinated was more important than winning a ring with Harden.

“I’m not bringing science into basketball,” he said in his latest testy exchange with a reporter about the issue. “I’m just saying to everybody: I’m human, I have decisions to make. I have a family to take care of. There are things that are just as important to me as being great at the game of basketball or leaving a legacy.”

Fine, but who can blame Harden for not wanting Irving’s other priorities to get in the way of his title chase, especially when those priorities are complete nonsense?

Irving himself is the king of the blame game, muddling the situation more than anyone else has. He’s blamed the league and players union for giving him false assurances that they could find a loophole for his unprickable skin.

“The NBA and the NBPA made it very clear that there

would be things that I would be able to do to work around this,” he said last month. “And that’s off the table.”

He called an ESPN reporter a “puppeteer” for having the audacity to ask if injuries to Durant and Harden increased his urgency to get vaccinated.

And he blamed Adams and de Blasio. “I’m the only player that has to deal with this in New York City because I play there. We have Eric Adams, we have the New York mandate, we have things going on that are real-life circumstances that are not just affecting me, bro.”

No. Irving is the only player that has to deal with this because he’s the only player in New York who won’t get vaccinated. Amid the finger-pointing festival in Brooklyn, it’s not more complicated than that. The desperate search for the perfect person to blame or the perfect loophole for Irving have obscured his agency here. The Nets are a disaster because Irving is only partially available, and Irving is only partially available because he refuses to take a vaccine. This started with one man’s decision to refuse a shot, and it could end in the time it takes a needle to enter an arm.

Trainer Bob Baffert celebrates with the winners trophy after his horse Medina Spirit won the 147th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 1, 2021.

is banned for use on race day.

Mandaloun, the second-place finisher, was named the winner.

In a highly unusual ruling, the KHRC did not stay Baffert’s 90-day suspension, which is

scheduled to begin March 8. If it is enforced, Baffert’s penalty would be in effect throughout the country and Baffert would have to vacate his barn at Santa Anita. Baffert’s attorneys have filed suit to stop the suspension and have precedent on their side as stays are almost always granted upon appeal.

Baffert’s attorneys have argued that the rule against betamethasone only applies when it is injected into the joints or other parts of a horse, not when applied through an ointment to treat a rash. The KHRC disagreed.

“The facts are clear and Churchill Downs knows them but refuses to acknowledge them,” Brewster said.

“Churchill Downs knows the post-race test report occurred as a result of the use of a harmless ointment known as Otomax. They know it was

prescribed by Medina Spirit’s treating veterinarian and properly and timely reported to the data bank the day it was dispensed. They know no rule was violated and the ointment could never have enhanced Medina Spirit’s performance.”

Experts previously contacted

by The Los Angeles Times doubt that the amount found in Medina Spirit’s system would have had any effect on his performances. The biggest obstacle is public perception, that a rule is a rule, regardless of its consequences.

“This case and the events of the last eight months are about more than just me and ability to do the work I love,” Baffert said.

“If powerful forces can block me from competing, they can do this to anyone. This is a fight for the integrity of our great sport, and we have the facts, the law and truth on our side.”

Riders From B1

Ichabod Crane managed to find some offense in the second quarter, scoring 14 points in total to keep pace with Schalmont.

Payton Graber would not stop knocking down three pointers throughout the second period and made a shot from beyond the arc to answer for every ounce of scoring the Riders accrued.

Graber made five three point shots in the quarter to total 15 points and outscored the entire Riders’ offense in the period 15-14 by herself.

The Sabres took a 27-20 lead into the break at halftime, but the Riders were knocking on the door.

Graber got it going for the Sabres in the third period right away, drilling yet another three pointer to open the second half. Aside from Graber’s three point shot, the first few minutes of the third were slow on the scoreboard much like the first quarter.

Both teams lost the ball a number of times for multiple turnovers and it made for a very low scoring period.

Carolina Williams knocked down a long two pointer with her feet just inside the three point line, but the Riders

Miller was asked if the players were braced for missing those games and perhaps more.

“We’re prepared,” said Miller, a leader in the Players Association. “We’ve seen this coming.”

Everybody saw this coming. Before the owners locked out the players on Dec. 2 and certainly in the 90 days since then, even during an overnight bargaining session that lasted until 2:30 a.m. Tuesday and offered the slightest hint of optimism that the archnemeses may actually overcome canyon-sized differences on multiple economic issues and salvage an on-time start to a 162-game season, this moment seemed all but inevitable.

trailed 32-22 with about a minute left in the third. This would be Ichabod Crane’s only points in the entire third period. The Sabres scored another three points to close out the quarter with eight points total, and they led 3522 going into the fourth.

The Riders were able to score some points in the fourth quarter at long last once they got aggressive, but they really dug themselves a hole after the two-point

period.

After getting a few points, Ichabod Crane’s momentum was stopped dead in its tracks thanks to back-toback three-balls from Graber and Hallberg.

Schalmont’s lead had now swelled to 18 points with less than four minutes to go in the game. Ashley Ames hit a shot from beyond the arc for the Riders in the final minutes, but the struggles on offense only continued for the team

as a whole and it would not be enough for the Riders to move on.

The Schalmont Sabres ran out as much of the clock as they could on their final possessions and defeated the Ichabod Crane Riders, 5033, to advance to the Class B Championship on Saturday at Hudson Valley Community College where it will play Fonda-Fultonville at 12:45 p.m.

Now, they won’t open the season until at least April 8 at home against the Oakland Athletics. Maybe.

Manfred said he “hoped against hope that I would not have to have this particular press conference.” Players Association executive director Tony Clark called it a “sad day.”

For posterity, talks broke down Tuesday, the ninth consecutive day of in-person bargaining at a spring-training ballpark in Florida. The players rejected a counteroffer from the owners, who had panned a proposal from the players earlier in the day. In that respect, it wouldn’t have been much different than any other bargaining session between the sides over the last few weeks.

But MLB imposed a 5 p.m. deadline -- the players viewed it more as a negotiating tactic -- to either make a deal or

begin lopping games off the schedule, an outcome that Manfred recently characterized as “disastrous” for the league but dismissed Tuesday as one that the “calendar dictates.”

“I had hoped against hope that I would not have to have this particular press conference,” Manfred said. “We worked hard to avoid an outcome that’s bad for our fans, bad for our players, bad for our clubs.”

That, like so much else about these talks, can be debated. The players maintain that the owners could rescind their lockout at any time, open spring training, and continue to negotiate in the interim.

There haven’t been any indications of that happening.

The sides agreed, in principle, on a few issues. The owners gave up their bid for a 14-team expanded postseason, settling for the players’ preference of 12 teams. The union dropped its attempts

to gain earlier free agency and make more two-plus-year players eligible for salary arbitration.

But large gaps still existed on most issues. MLB and the players wound up $25,000 apart this year ($64,000 by 2026) on minimum salary.

They were $55 million apart this year ($75 million by 2026) on a bonus pool for pre-arbitration (entry-level) players.

MLB’s final proposal, also referred to at the bargaining table as its “best” offer, provided no changes to the luxury-tax thresholds, leaving the sides $18 million apart this year ($238 million vs. $220 million) and $33 million apart by 2026 ($263 million vs. $230 million).

MLB, led by Manfred, also attempted to reintroduce onfield changes for 2023, including a pitch clock and banning the shift, over the last two days of negotiations.

In between the players’ proposal Tuesday and MLB’s last-best counteroffer, the

sides resorted to slinging insults at one another. A league spokesperson told reporters in Jupiter that the players “had a decidedly different tone from Monday night3/8 and made proposals inconsistent with prior discussions.” In turn, a union source said the players all along were “very clear we’re far apart” in many areas.

“There was some progress made on certain issues this week,” union lead negotiator Bruce Meyer said. “But I think we’ve also been clear and consistent that there are major issues on which we were very far apart. We’ve said that to the media consistently. We’ve said that to the other side consistently. That hasn’t changed.

There have been and still are major issues.”

On top of all of them, MLB’s decision to cancel games will add another unwelcome dimension to the talks. The league has indicated that it doesn’t intend to pay players for games missed. But Meyer

said the players will fight for full-season pay.

The sides fought over pro-rata salaries before the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. MLB paid the players for 60 games. But Meyer cited MLB’s request last year to start the season late because of COVID-19 and pay the players their full salaries for only 154 games.

“It would be our position in the event of games being canceled that, as a feature of any deal, we would be asking for compensation and/or to have those games rescheduled,” Meyer said. “They can do it.

There’s precedent for it.”, “The reason we are not playing is simple: A lockout is the ultimate economic weapon,” Clark said. “In a $10 billion industry, the owners have decided to use this weapon against the greatest asset they have: the players.”

Catskill 3, Cobleskill 0 CASTELTON — Catskill defeated Cobleskill-Richomdnville 3-0, in Tuesday’s Section II Class B boys volleyball semifinal.

The Cats won by scores of

25-23, 25-19 and 25-12.

“We started out a little slow and nervous which was expected from our young team,” Catskill coach Rocco Cornacchia. “They were able to settle in half way though the second set playing more

of our style, a more aggressive up tempo game with great communication.”

For Catskill: Owen Valentino 3 service points, 2 kills, 6 digs; Devin Guerrieri 3 service points, 6 kills, 7 digs; Joseph Konsul 2 service points,

1 ace, 8 kills; Christopher Konsul 3 service points, 5 kills, 7 digs; Adam Konsul 2 service points, 2 digs, 13 assists; Nicholas Konsul 2 kills, 5 digs, 10 assists; Jack Alexander 2 kills.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Drug abuse, bad finances derail caregiver’s life Dear Abby, I’m conflicted about a relationship I have developed with a 77-year-old lady I’ll call “Martha.” I have been acting as her caregiver.

For the first three years, I was addicted to pain pills, which Martha and I both get.

DEAR ABBY I was so strung out I didn’t realize what kind of person she was. She expects me to be there every free minute, which, under different circumstances, would be fine.

But I have a husband and a dog. I have since gotten sober, while Martha is still strung out. She threatens to destroy my life if I won’t do what she wants, and I’m scared to quit because we have loans together.

How do I start having a healthy balance with her and my life? Now that I’m sober, I realize how badly she has been treating me the whole time. Can you please advise me how to distance from her?

They also buy multiple gifts for my husband and me. We are drowning in too much stuff and constantly battling clutter in our home.

None of these gifts are from our family’s wish lists, nor are they particularly thoughtful. In years past, I have asked my mother-inlaw to limit her purchases to three gifts — one toy, one outfit, one book — with no success. I also have pleaded with her to stop buying me small knickknacks, and have suggested more experiencebased gifts. Still, year after year, we come home with a bunch of stuff we neither need nor want.

How can I get my in-laws to respect our wishes? To make matters worse, my husband becomes defensive of his parents when I get frustrated, even though he fundamentally agrees with me. How do I help his parents understand that what they are really giving us is a fight? And, if none of them care about my wishes, how do I get past feeling disrespected and disregarded?

Buried In Stuff

For the sake of your sobriety, your relationship with Martha must end. Do not allow yourself to be blackmailed into continuing one with her. She needs to find another caregiver, and you need to find another job. Because your name is on those loans, you may be obligated to pay them off if she doesn’t. This is why you should discuss this mess with an attorney.

That Martha still abuses her meds means you may have some leverage.

By now you should have realized that your mother-in-law, “Lady Bountiful,” isn’t going to change. You will spend less time being frustrated if you let go of your resentment about her spending sprees. My heartfelt advice to you is to develop a sense of humor where she’s concerned. If you can’t use her gifts, donate, regift or sell them.

Dear Abby, My husband and I argue about returning gifts his parents give us. They are well-off and buy excessively for their grandkids throughout the year, especially at holidays.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are far more capable of satisfying yourself than you sometimes think, but that is not the result of either your being difficult to please or of some inability to do the things that would please you. On the contrary, you are perfectly aware of when you have done something satisfying, but the fact is that your standards are so high that even at your most accomplished, you want to be accomplishing more — and therein your habitual dissatisfaction lies.

You know how to buckle down when the going gets tough, but you have a tendency to isolate yourself when facing difficulty, and that can make things harder for you than they have to be. The next time something is harder than it should be, solicit help from a friend or loved one and see what happens. You’ll very likely not be disappointed!

Also born on this date are: Jessica Biel, actress; Alexander Graham Bell, inventor; Herschel Walker, football player; Jean Harlow, actress; Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Olympic athlete; James Doohan, actor; Miranda Richardson, actress.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — The assistance you expected is not likely to appear today — at least not at the time you most need it. You’ll have to improvise.

at the time, but he was just on his way to becoming the respected expert that he is today.

He has enjoyed success at the national level in North America and has several World Championship medals to his credit.

North showed good judgment in evaluating his hand opposite South’s splinter bid. Shortness opposite strength is usually wasted so North was not tempted to bid above game looking for an unlikely slam. Even game was too high with Kranyak on lead.

Kranyak listened to the auction and knew that there was not much available for the defense in hearts. It sounded like his opponents had a lot of clubs between them – likely nine – although he would have expected North to have five and South to have four. Kranyak made the brilliant lead of the two of clubs. East ruffed and switched accurately to a low diamond. Kranyak won with his jack and led another club for East to ruff. A diamond to the queen and East got a third club ruff to defeat the contract by two tricks. Great lead!

The cards in your hand might guide you to an effective opening lead. An ear to the auction can be an even better guide.
