County protests utility billing

Police free 3 children held hostage in motel

By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Greene County has reached out to the New York State Public Service Commission in hopes of addressing issues that residents have encountered with Central Hudson billing irregularities.

In a letter dated March 4, Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden sent a correspondence to the PSC on behalf of the Greene County Legislature regarding “a substantial number of complaints our legislative members are receiving regarding Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corp.”

The letter notes that the electric company had installed a new software billing system in recent months, which coincided with customers calling the county with complaints about the company’s billing practices.

“The extreme increase in cost of electricity by itself is more than enough to upset our constituents, but that is not their only complaint,” Groden’s letter states. “Citizens are complaining about Central Hudson’s ‘approximate’ billing, resulting in huge bills, plus others are not getting billed for several months, only to receive four or five enormous bills in a single day.”

On Monday, Groden said that constituents had placed calls to multiple members of the legislature, which resulted in the county sending a formal letter to the state.

“The concerns were high bills, irregular bills, infrequently

ULSTER — Three children are back home with their mother following a scary incident Friday when they were held hostage in an Ulster County motel room, said Steven Nevel, public information officer for state police Troop F on Monday.

Scipio D. Dubois, 29, of Kingston, the man accused of taking them hostage, was taken

into custody late Friday night after police raided the hotel room to free the children, Nevel said.

Dubois was charged with second-degree kidnapping, a class B felony, first-degree unlawful imprisonment, a class E felony, endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor, and third-degree menacing, PHOTO COURTESY OF STATE POLICE

Town board, preservation chairman part ways

By Ted Remsnyder

DURHAM — Patrick Ciccone, the former chairman of the Town of Durham Historic Preservation Committee said he was not reappointed to his post after he gave a sworn affidavit in a lawsuit against the town board and a proposed housing development in the town.

The lawsuit was filed in November in New York State Supreme Court by the Cornwallville Residents for Rural Preservation, a group tied to a proposed development that the Bosque development company is proposing to build in the Cornwallville Historic District.

Durham Town Supervisor Shawn Marriott sent a letter to then-chairman Ciccone on Feb. 27 informing him that his term on the Durham Historic Preservation Committee had

According to the town, due to the pandemic and additional factors, while Ciccone had not been reappointed, he was allowed to continue as chairman as a holdover for the past two years.

“Effective immediately, that holdover status will not continue and you will not be reappointed,” according to the letter. “Please immediately return all town- and DHPCrelated materials, etc., to the town hall within 24 hours.”

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Saturday that Chinese diplomacy had “sufficient tools to make a difference.”

China officially maintains a position of noninterference in other countries’ domestic affairs, making it traditionally reluctant to play an active role beyond disputes that touch on core Chinese interests. In recent years, China has adopted a more active foreign policy stance and positioned itself as a broker in several disputes, including those between Pakistan and Afghanistan or between North and South Korea.

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has tested China’s deepening strategic partnership with Russia. Beijing speaks of respecting territorial integrity and remaining neutral, while blaming NATO and the United States for instigating the conflict, which it refuses to call an invasion.

That implicit defense of Russia has been complicated

by Beijing’s concern about the safety of Chinese nationals in Ukraine after one was

wounded while attempting to flee the country.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry previously rejected calls from the United States to exert influence over Russia and has denied that Xi asked Putin to delay the assault until after the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Biden administration officials said last week that a Western intelligence report indicated that Chinese officials in early February requested a delay until after the Closing Ceremonies.

Instead, China claims that Western powers share responsibility and must act to defuse tensions.

On Saturday, in a phone call with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Wang called on the United States, the E.U. and NATO to “engage in equal-footed dialogue with Russia, face up to the frictions and problems accumulated over the years.”

The Washington Post’s Lyric Li in Seoul and Vic Chiang in Taipei, Taiwan, contributed to this report.

Global Covid deaths top 6 million as omicron wave leaves scars Jinshan Hong Bloomberg

More than 6 million people worldwide have died from Covid-19 two years after the novel pathogen started spreading globally, despite the distribution of vaccines that slashed fatality rates across the globe.

The latest 1 million recorded deaths came more slowly than the previous intervals.

It took about 125 days to go from 5 million deaths to 6 million, compared to 117 days to hit the 5-million mark and less than 90 days each to reach the 3- and 4-million ones. The pace has returned to what was seen during the first year of the pandemic, when the virus was still taking hold.

to begin talks when the two spoke by phone on Feb. 25, with Xi expressing China’s desire for peace talks to begin “as soon as possible.”

At the same time, Wang ruled out the possibility that diplomatic fallout from the war could undermine China’s growing alignment with Russia.

Asked whether the conflict had impacted bilateral ties, Wang said the relationship “is not subject to third-party interference,” adding: “No matter how perilous the international situation, China and Russia will . . . continuously advance with a new era of comprehensive strategic partnership.”

Josep Borrell, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, said in an interview published Friday that, when it came to mediating a peace deal, “it must be China.” He told Spanish newspaper El Mundo: “We have not asked for it nor have they asked for it, but since it has to be a power and neither the U.S. nor Europe can be [mediators], China could be.”

Christian Shepherd The Washington Post China is ready to act as mediator between Ukraine and Russia, the country’s foreign minister said on Monday, as he declared Beijing’s relationship with Moscow “rock solid” amid international censure of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

While Beijing has consistently called for a negotiated diplomatic solution to the conflict, the comment was the first time officials had formally confirmed readiness to be directly involved.

“China is willing to continue playing a constructive role in urging peace talks and is willing when necessary to work together with the international community to launch required mediation,” Foreign Minister Wang Yi told reporters at his annual news conference, part of the meeting of parliament underway in Beijing.

Wang further implied that Chinese President Xi Jinping had encouraged Putin

Denim company Levi Strauss & Co. is temporarily suspending commercial operations in Russia, where it gets about 2% of its sales, almost two weeks after the invasion of Ukraine.

The company said in a statement Monday that the “enormous disruption occurring in the region” has made it “untenable” to conduct business as normal. It is also donating more than $300,000 to nonprofit groups providing humanitarian aid to refugees in Eastern Europe.

Levi jeans have been an iconic brand for decades, so much so that the U.S. included them in an exhibition of American culture that was sent to Moscow in the late 1950s. They became a coveted black market item in the Soviet Union for the next 30 years.

The company is just the latest in a string of global firms that have stopped sales in Russia as Western governments ramp up sanctions.

“Any business considerations are clearly secondary to the human suffering experienced by so many,” the San

Francisco-based company said in the statement. Levi “continues to be saddened by the devastating conflict in Ukraine and our thoughts are with all of those who have been affected, including our employees, partners and their loved ones.”

Brother of insurrectionist named Coeymans police chief

By Kate Lisa Johnson Newspaper Corp.

COEYMANS — There’s a new police chief in town.

Marc Tryon, a 32-year veteran of the New York State Police and brother of the town resident serving time in federal prison for his involvement in the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, will become chief of the Coeymans Police Department starting Monday.

The role has remained vacant since former Police Chief Greg Keyer abruptly resigned Feb. 11.

“I’m excited,” Tryon said Friday. “I’ve had a long career in law enforcement — this is an inevitable step for me. I feel like I’ve gained a lot of insight from all of my experiences.”

The town board voted in a special meeting Friday night to appoint Tryon as the next leader of Coeymans police at an annual salary of $80,000.

Tryon, 65, grew up in Rensselaer County and has lived in the town of Coeymans full-time since 2017.

He first became a New York state trooper in 1981, providing law enforcement services in Albany, Columbia and Rensselaer counties and later served as first sergeant managing operations of New York State Thruway Troop T, supervising 14 facilities across the state Thruway system, more than 300 employees and a fleet of more than 200 vehicles.

He is the brother of William Tryon, 71, who was sentenced last month to serve 50 days in federal prison and pay $500 restitution after pleading guilty in October to entering or remaining in a restricted building during the Jan. 6 demonstrations.

“It is what it is — my brother made a decision and he’s paying the price for it,” Marc Tryon said. “Some people may have a problem [with me], but others will accept that other people make their own decisions in life.”

William Tryon, a Coeymans farmer for several decades, will remain on supervised release for up to 12 months for his participation in the Jan. 6 demonstrations, which resulted in five deaths, injured more than 140 police officers and caused more than $1.5 million in estimated damage to the U.S. Capitol. He was sentenced by Senior U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton on Jan. 14.

Marc Tryon continues to care about his brother and the situation, but said he has to face the

Marc Tryon, right, stands after the town council unanimously voted Friday night to appoint him as the new chief of the Coeymans Police Department.

consequences of his actions.

“I’m a career law enforcement person who has seen all types of people make mistakes and serve time,” he added. “It’s tough, but things happen. I independently assess my role as being in law enforcement and being the chief of the police department.”

Bill Tryon is a leader of local conservative activist group Liberty Bell Alliance 76, which has led political protests outside the state Capitol and in the Capital Region.

The new chief said he is not concerned about the presence of certain organizations or potential illegal activity in town.

“It’s not a concern,” he said.

“Everyone has a right to express their opinion. I’ll express support for everyone’s right to speak out.”

Walton’s statement of reasons for the sentencing is not available for public viewing in the U.S. District Court District of Columbia’s electronic document filing system.

Town Supervisor George McHugh was one of dozens of people to send Walton a character reference letter for Tryon in December, seeking a non-jail sentence for his constituent’s charges.

Marc Tryon’s successful law enforcement career, followed by seven years overseeing the safety, security and emergency management with St. Peter’s Health Partners, should not be overshadowed by his brother’s criminal actions, McHugh said.

“You can’t pick your family,” McHugh said. “I would venture a guess that pretty much everybody has someone in their family we could all look at and say ‘Jeez, is that how

you are, too?’ Marc Tryon has a 32-year career with the state troopers that’s impeccable and distinguished and he should be judged on his merits, and not his family member’s.”

William Tryon was known to frequently participate in Coeymans town meetings, and was known to lead audiences in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or a prayer before municipal meetings and events.

The town supervisor’s relationship with the insurrectionist or public support of his character is unrelated to the council selecting his brother to be police chief, McHugh said Friday.

“I did not even know they were related when I first talked to Marc,” McHugh said. “...

Everyone should be judged on their actions and their abilities.

I want to be judged on my own merits or lack or merit, but I certainly don’t want to be judged by others’ merits.”

McHugh worked as an officer as a young man with the Coeymans Police Department in the late 1980s. Marc Tryon worked out of the state police barracks in Selkirk in the early 1990s,

forming a relationship with town police, but both men said Friday they did not cross paths or work together during that period.

“I’d heard of him when I was a police officer and he was assigned to the Selkirk barracks, but I had never worked with him,” McHugh said.

Marc Tryon was the sole person the five-member board officially interviewed to be Coeymans’ next police chief.

The position was not publicly posted.

McHugh discussed the vacancy with two eligible law enforcement officers listed on the state Civil Service list, including one from Suffolk County and another from Guilderland who did not express serious interest in the position.

Tryon called McHugh expressing interest in serving with the local department.

“I let it be known to the supervisor ... if there was opportunities to let me know,” said Tryon, who left his post with St. Peter’s in January. “Unbeknownst to me, it happened rather quickly.”

McHugh interviewed the other candidates by phone, he said. The officer from Guilderland canceled his interview with the town board, who agreed Tryon was the best fit for the position and to make him an offer.

Marc Tryon holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from SUNY Buffalo.

He has not served in the military and has not been convicted of a crime.

“With Chief Tryon, I feel very confident we finally do have that level of cooperation at the top that the Coeymans PD has been lacking,” McHugh said.

Former chief Keyer did not state a specific reason in his resignation letter for his abrupt departure Feb. 11, but left amid growing public tensions over the town’s recent restructuring of its investments in public safety.

Keyer did not return a request for comment for this story.

The Coeymans Town Council held a special meeting Friday night to accept the resignation of Town Councilman Dan Baker and the unexpected retirement of Highway Superintendent Scott Searles, which takes effect March 30.

Coeymans pays its highway superintendent $60,000 annually.

Town council members receive $12,500 per year.

Baker, who works as a project manager for Flach Development & Realty Inc., and has extensive experience with heavy equipment operation, was appointed as a special assistant with the Highway Department in preparation to transition to Searles’ position March 31.

Current Town Planning Board/Zoning Board of Appeals Chairman Stephen Schmitt resigned from his post and was appointed to Baker’s seat on the town council through the end of the year to take effect Tuesday.

Prison violence made visible It is one of the toughest jobs in New York state. It requires extraordinary courage. And it takes place behind gray concrete walls.

The job of prison correction officer is done out of the public eye, but these men and women put their lives on the line with the same valor as police officers and firefighters.

Just ask the female officer who recounted in detail her harrowing story of a June 5, 2020, attack by a Greene Correctional Facility inmate at a state Senate hearing last week on the impact of sexual assault in the prison system led by Sen. Julia Salazar, D-Brooklyn, who chairs the Senate Standing Committee on Crime Victims, Crime and Correction and Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, D-Bronx, who

chairs the Senate Standing Committee on Ethics and Internal Governance.

Or just ask Officer Adrea Adamczyk of Cairo, a fiveyear veteran at the Mid-State Correctional Facility in Marcy, who suffered a broken nose and cuts and bruises after a male inmate punched and kicked her on Nov. 18.

The number of assaults against correction officers has doubled over the past 10 years, yet the state’s prison population has dropped by almost 50% in the same amount of time. What can be done?

The recent turmoil at Rikers Island in New York City illustrates the first step. The state has to make sure that inmates are treated humanely. The New York State Correction Officers and Police

Benevolent Association, the union representing state prison officers, has repeatedly demanded lawmakers to back legislation that would launch a study into the violence at state prisons and support tougher disciplinary action against inmates who commit violent acts against officers.

Adamczyk and the officer who testified at the hearing could have been critically injured, raped or even killed by their attackers. If NYSCOPBA and the state Department of Correction and Community Services can’t get a handle on the violence behind prison walls, morale will decline further. And prison officers will find themselves at even more risk for injury or worse.

ANOTHER VIEW

For the dangerous skies over Ukraine, a calibrated NATO response works best (c) 2022,The Washington Post ·

Once again, Russian President Vladimir Putin has asserted that his war against Ukraine is going according to plan. This time he said so in a phone conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday, according to an official Kremlin report.

His actions, though, belie this claim. Specifically, Putin has shut down the last vestiges of independent media in the country and ramped up threats of punishment for truthful reporting such that Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty and other international media have been forced to suspend their operations in Russia. This is not what he would do if Russia’s invasion force had a good story to tell. Due to fierce Ukrainian resistance, Russian troops failed to meet their commander in chief’s expectation of swift victory and its combat methods have degenerated into increasingly indiscriminate attacks against Ukraine’s people and civilian infrastructure.

Putin’s war is not going well for him. For the United States, its NATO allies and all others in the world, the question now is how to make it go even worse.

It’s a doubly urgent question since Russia’s military - even if not headed for outright victory soon - might retain more than enough firepower to inflict devastation on Ukraine and its people for many more days or weeks.

Something must be done to enable Ukraine to withstand the onslaught and force Russia to accept a real cease-fire - as opposed to the phony local truces, intended to allow civilians to flee, which the Russians violated over the weekend.

The Biden administration has been wise to reject a NATO no-fly zone over Ukraine, even though one of the people who has called for it is Ukraine’s redoubtable president, Volody-

myr Zelensky. There would be no way to enforce such a measure without large-scale deployment of U.S. and other NATO aircraft, and their engagement in direct combat with Russian forces. This would dramatically escalate the war in pursuit of relatively marginal benefits: most of the damage being done to Ukraine right now is from groundlaunched artillery and missiles, not from high-explosive weapons delivered by Russian aircraft. Indeed, Ukraine has already had some success shooting down helicopters and planes with its own arms, including mobile antiaircraft missiles supplied by NATO. A better plan would be to continue that vital flow of weaponry while enabling Poland to send its available Soviet-vintage fighter aircraft to Ukraine for use by the latter country’s pilots. The United States would have to offset Poland’s transfers to Ukraine by supplying new U.S.-made planes. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed Sunday that the Biden administration would support this three-way exchange.

To be sure, there are potential downsides to this option, not the least being the fact that Russia has already destroyed key Ukrainian airfields. Also, Putin, who has already likened economic sanctions to a “declaration of war,” could treat aircraft transfers as a provocation. Recent history, however, shows that he will invent provocations even when the West shows restraint, and that Ukraine cannot be left at the mercy of Russian artillery. The right response therefore is to extend as much military aid to Ukraine as it can effectively use, without triggering negative security consequences for Europe and the United States.

The world now depends on the ability of the Biden administration and U.S. allies to strike that balance.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘My life is full of mistakes. They’re like pebbles that make a good road.’

The former presidential adviser and Russia expert Fiona Hill made headlines last week when she stated bluntly in a Politico interview that Vladimir Putin would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons.

But it was another part of that long interview that I found almost as arresting. Hill described how Putin, as he reaches for domination, relies heavily on his skills at the influence-and-information game.

“What happens in a Russian ‘all-of-society’ war, you soften up the enemy,” she told her interviewer, Maura Reynolds. Hill named some names: “You get the Tucker Carlsons and Donald Trumps doing your job for you.”

And now, after a few years of their apologetic rhetoric on behalf of Russia, Putin “has got swaths of the Republican Party” and “masses of the U.S. public saying ‘Good on you, Vladimir Putin,’ or blaming NATO, or blaming the U.S.” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, she added.

It was quite an indictment from a well-respected intelligence officer, who worked in both Republican and Democratic administrations. She became known to the American public for her unsparing analysis when she testified during Trump’s first impeachment hearings.

But while it’s startling to hear it said so directly - a Fiona Hill specialty - the proof is there for anyone to see.

In addition to the many times that Trump has praised Putin as strong and admirable, while failing to criticize his human rights offenses, our previous president helped the Russian cause in more specific ways. He reportedly argued to fellow world leaders in 2018 that Crimea - the Ukrainian peninsula that Russia invaded and annexed in 2014 - was Russian because, after all, people who live there speak Russian.

Carlson, meanwhile, recently wondered on air why Putin is hated by “permanent Washington,” describing Ukraine as “not a democracy” but a “pure client state of the United States State Department.”

In more recent days, Carlson has changed his tune to oppose Putin - while managing to fault Democrats as not sending a clear message about the impending crisis. But, to a large extent, the propaganda mission had already been accomplished. In 2019, Carlson had even asked on the air, “Why shouldn’t I root for Russia, which by the way I am?”

(He tried to walk that comment back after it went viral, saying he was only kidding.)

Do these pro-Putin messages sink in? No doubt they do, here in the United States and in Russia itself.

Rep. Tom Malinowski, DN.J., said that in the run-up to the invasion, his office heard complaints from constituents who watch Carlson and “are upset that we’re not siding with Russia in its threats to invade Ukraine, and who want me to support Russia’s ‘reasonable’ positions.”

That Russian state TV has repeatedly played clips of Carlson’s rants, complete with Russian subtitles, is a tribute to just how well-received his rhetoric has been by Putin and his allies.

Laura Ingraham’s show was a big help late last month as she trashed a speech by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “really pathetic” and brought Trump on as a guest. The former president’s analysis: His strongman idol would merely have taken over two regions in eastern Ukraine but went further because “he sees the weakness and the incompetence and the stupidity” of the Biden administration.

The circularity and symbiosis of right-wing media and Russia’s own talking points can be quite remarkable.

On Tuesday, former Trumpera assistant treasury secretary Monica Crowley told Fox News’s Jesse Watters that economic sanctions were so severe that “Russia is now being canceled.” Within days, we heard about Russian Foreign Intelligence Director Sergei Naryshkin using the same cancel-culture rhetoric. “The West isn’t simply trying to close off Russia behind a new iron curtain. This is about an attempt to ruin our government - to ‘cancel’ it, as

they now say in ‘tolerant’ liberal-fascist circles,” Naryshkin said.

As one Twitter wag responded, “sounds like a press release from the Republican National Committee.”

How serious is Putin’s effort to control information? Russian American journalist Masha Gessen noted in the New Yorker last week that the Russian military banned the possession of smartphones by soldiers last year. Russia, they wrote, has become “an atomized society held together by a hermetically sealed ideology.”

Efforts to keep that hermetic seal are getting more desperate.

Late last week, Russia’s parliament passed a law to punish journalists who contradict the party line on Ukraine, banning the words “war,” “invasion,” and “attacks.” It’s now a criminal offense - with jail terms up to 15 years - to publish “fake news,” a term popularized by a certain Putin-friendly former American president.

As he tries to deal with ugly truth - images leaking out of Ukraine showing the destruction of civilian neighborhoods - Putin is relying on uglier lies, trying to insist that his military is doing everything it can to avoid civilian deaths.

He severely limits truthful information inside Russia and uses politically friendly Americans - and their media magnifiers - to plant propaganda and lead cheers in the West.

In the age of real-time video and the relentless presence of social media, controlling the message has become more challenging for Putin. As the estimable Hill argues, he’s trying to do nothing less than take down the world order and reconstitute the Russian-speaking world as one entity.

That’s an ambitious plan.

But at least his trusty American apologists laid some groundwork for him.

Rain gardens and biodiversity with Mountain Top Arboretum TANNERSVILLE — The Mountain Top Arboretum presents the webinar Rain Gardens and Biodiversity 1011:30 a.m. March 12. One way to increase your biodiversity and help with downstream flooding is to install a rain garden, a concave area planted heavily with native plants, that collects and cleans the rainwater from your downspouts before returning it to the ground.

In a natural environment, rainwater gets absorbed into the ground where plants and microbes filter the water. A rain garden is designed to mimic this process by slowing the flow and absorbing rainwater before it is dumped into nearby waterways.

Carolle Huber will discuss site assessment, soil analysis, design guidelines, construction and plant selection. By planting a rain garden you will be increasing the biodiversity of your neighborhood. And in today’s world of decreasing insect and bird populations, that is critical.

As a landscape architect in New Jersey, Huber has been designing landscapes for 25 years, working on large developments, subdivisions, wetlands restoration, green roofs, and residential design.

As an environmentalist, it

Multi-use trail expansion eyed for state land

By MIKE GAGLIARDI mgagliardi@wdt.net

COLTON — If all goes according to St. Lawrence County legislators’ plans, the countywide Multi-Use Recreational Trail System will expand into recently acquired state land.

This would allow snowmobiles, ATVs and UTVs to be used there.

Using $4.3 million from the Environmental Protection Fund last year, the state Department of Environmental Conservation acquired nearly 8,000 acres of land — 7,047 acres of working forest land and 947 acres to be added to the Forest Preserve lands in the Adirondack Park.

Both the Forest Preserve annex, called the South Branch Grass River Tract, and the larger Cranberry Forest conservation easement were secured through The Conservation Fund, a national nonprofit that facilitates property easements by pooling resources from other nonprofits, corporations and

government agencies.

“This is in the heart of our snowmobile, ATV, and UTV country,” said Legislator Anthony J. Arquiett, D-Helena, who sponsored the unanimously passed resolution in support of the measure during the county Finance Committee meeting Monday. “This is a very critical piece of property that we’re formally requesting via this resolution that the state of New York work towards a recreational plan that will include the use of motorized recreation.”

The resolution says the state specifically indicated that the 7,047-acre easement land will allow public recreation opportunities and that the state has supported the use of recreational motorized vehicles in the area before.

Mr. Arquiett emphasized how, since 2006, the Board of Legislators has worked to expand the multi-use trail system across the county, and this resolution is a continuation of

that.

“We created the trail system on behalf of our residents for recreational purposes for them and our visitors, but the real underlying motivation has always been for revenue generation,” he said.

The resolution notes that a recent study undertaken by Jefferson Community College and Camoin Associates, Saratoga Springs, found that ATV riders alone in Lewis County spend an annual $6.6 million related to the county’s trail system.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Youth-rated films should be smoke-free

By Tobacco-Free Action of Columbia & Greene Counties For Columbia-Greene Media

Children are impressionable, little sponges unconsciously soaking up their surroundings without understanding them, repeating things they see and hear for practice. Parents know they must watch their own language and behavior “around the kids” or risk seeing bad habits reflected back at them.

Adolescents are primed for experimentation and wide-open to suggestion without fully grasping the potential consequences of their choices. The teenage years are fraught for parents who want to protect their offspring from the most obvious dangers while allowing them to explore the world and begin to find their own way, an exhausting combination.

The entertainment industry has always been a source of inspiration or corruption for teens, which one depends on your perspective and the type of entertainment involved.

In its heyday, Hollywood was at the center of the entertainment world and is still a formidable player on that stage. The motion picture rating system of G, PG, PG-13, and R was introduced in 1968 as a way to help parents decide what films are appropriate for their children. Violence, profanity, drug use, nudity and sexual content—all things that could be frightening or suggestive to young minds—are considered in determining what rating a film receives. Smoking and tobacco use were not included.

Arguing that this omission was a mistake and citing abundant research showing a connection between onscreen tobacco use and teen smoking, parent groups, public health advocates, and even the National Association of State Attorneys General, have for decades urged the Motion Picture Association to keep youth-rated films smoke-free.

In 2007, the MPA said it would

consider smoking in rating a film, but in practice that has been very loosely applied or ignored altogether. There are instances of even G rated films that contain smoking, and lighting up in PG-13 films is not uncommon. Among this year’s PG-13 Oscar-nominated films, “West Side Story,” “King Richard,” and “No Time To Die” all show characters using cigarettes.

So far, Disney is the only production company that has made it corporate policy to eliminate tobacco imagery from all its films. For example, in the studio’s 2021 re-make of the original cartoon “Cruella,” a PG-13 Oscar nominee, gone is the villain’s ubiquitous cigarette. Other PG-13 smoke-free nominees are “Dune,” “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” “Free Guy” and “Spiderman: No Way Home.”

More movies now reach audiences through streaming than through traditional theater venues and are more accessible to young people. A recent study from Truth Initiative found that 60% of the top 15 television and streaming shows for youth in 2020 featured smoking, exposing an estimated 27 million aged 15-24 to tobacco imagery. The worst was the popular animated show “Family Guy.” Other Fox offenders are “The Simpsons” and “Bob’s Burgers.”

Netflix remains the streaming platform with the most liberal use of smoking, despite a 2019 pledge to improve. Some Netflix shows, such as “The Umbrella Academy” and “The Queen’s Gambit,” normalize tobacco use by showing it in every episode. In fact, only 14% adults in the US are smokers (12.8% in NYS).

In recent years technology has been propelling cultural shift at many levels, including at the intersection of teens and tobacco. Vaping, the new cool,

has replaced smoking as a preference among high school students. Hollywood was defined as the “Big Screen”; now there are many small screens.

Particularly during the pandemic, phones, tablets and laptops have become a retreat, refuge, and distraction for multitudes. The up-swell of streaming services and social media platforms has transformed the way many people, including young ones, communicate and consume entertainment. What young people are seeing is harder for parents to supervise and far ahead of regulation. Social media influencers with millions of teen followers promote all sorts of products, including tobacco and vaping, on Instagram and other sites, and have become the celebrity spokespeople for Gen Z. On YouTube, teens perform vaping tricks and compete to see who can consume the most in the least amount of time. The effort to limit tobacco imagery gets more difficult all the time.

There are many different reasons, some of them interconnected, that the vast majority of people who smoke (or vape) start in their teens; entertainment industry influence, including social media, is only one of them. Whatever the cause, the earlier one starts the harder it is to quit because of changes nicotine makes in the developing brain. This is a harsh truth that movies never show, and influencers don’t talk about on Instagram.

Highmark BSNENY opens 2022 Blue Fund Grant Cycle with added focus on maternal health disparities LATHAM — Highmark Blue Shield of Northeastern New York announced that its Blue Fund is expanding its efforts to address maternal health disparities.

Now accepting applications online through April 1, the local health plan will award grants to nonprofit organizations and initiatives that align with at least one of Blue Fund’s key health areas that support the region’s greatest health needs. Blue Fund’s other key focus areas include behavioral health, cardiovascular health, health care workforce development, and healthy children.

“We are continuously evolving our strategy to ensure we are addressing the community’s most urgent needs,” said Dr. Michael Edbauer, president, Highmark Blue Shield of Northeastern New York.

Pregnant women in the United States are more than twice as likely to die from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth than those in most other high-income countries. And, according to data from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA), childbirth complications have been increasing specifically for women of color. The data

shows that women in majority Black and Hispanic communities have a 63% and 32% higher rate, respectively, of severe maternal complications, than women in majority white communities.

“Every woman everywhere deserves equitable access to comprehensive maternal care regardless of their zip code.

However, labor and delivery outcomes that result in significant consequences to a woman’s health often stem from racial and health disparities,” said Jennifer JohengenVogel, vice president, health management, Highmark Blue Shield of Northeastern New York. “As a board member for the Buffalo Prenatal-Perinatal Network, I know first-hand how desperately important efforts to support maternal health are.”

As part of its fifth annual Blue Fund grant cycle, Highmark Blue Shield will award Blue Fund grants this Fall, giving special attention to projects that directly address racial and health inequities.

“We know the health of our region depends on the health of every corner of our community. Our Blue Fund investments uplift organizations

who can make a meaningful impact,” said Michael Ball, vice president, community affairs for Highmark Blue Shield of Northeastern New York.

Submitting a brief letter of intent (LOI) using [bsneny. com/bluefund]Blue Fund’s online application system is the required first step in the grant-making process. Selected applicants will then be invited to submit a full application, with funding decisions announced in the fall of 2022. Blue Fund will consider requests for $100,000 to $200,000 grants from notfor-profit organizations in the below counties for initiatives that are ready to implement and demonstrate measurable community outcomes. Counties include Albany, Clinton, Columbia, Essex, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren and Washington.

Organizations interested in applying are encouraged to review program guidelines and focus areas as they may have changed from previous years.

Red Cross honors community heroes during annual Red Cross Month celebration in March ALBANY — When help can’t wait during emergencies, American Red Cross volunteers and blood donors step up to ensure people in need receive relief and care.

In March, the Eastern New York Region is honoring the people who make its mission possible every day during its annual Red Cross Month celebration — a national tradition started nearly 80 years ago when President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the first national Red Cross Month proclamation recognizing those who give back through the American Red Cross. Each U.S. president has issued a proclamation ever since.

“When emergencies strike, our community rallies together to help families and individuals when it matters most,” said Kevin Coffey, Regional CEO, Eastern New York Region. “We honor this dedication during our Red Cross Month celebration, and we invite everyone to

turn their compassion into action by donating, volunteering, giving blood or taking a lifesaving skills course.”

Join Red Cross Month by visiting redcross.org to make a financial donation, give blood, become a volunteer or take a class in lifesaving skills, such as first aid and CPR. On March 23, you can also join our annual Red Cross Giving Day campaign by donating at redcross.org/givingday to help provide shelter, food, relief items, emotional support and other assistance for people affected by disasters big and small.

In the past few weeks, volunteers from the Eastern New York Region have worked alongside community partners to help operate warming centers and shelters in communities impacted by winter storms and flooding, provided immediate emergency assistance to dozens of families displaced by home fires, trained residents in

Emergency Preparedness, installed free smoke alarms and educated families on home fire safety, and collected hundreds of units of blood from volunteer donors.

The Red Cross blood supply remains incredibly vulnerable — especially as doctors begin to resume elective surgeries previously delayed by omicron. It’s critical that individuals schedule a blood or platelet donation immediately to help ensure patients get the care they need as soon as possible. To make an appointment, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS or download the Red Cross Blood Donor App. As a thank-you, all those who come to give March 1-31 will receive a $10 e-gift card, thanks to Fanatics. Plus, those who come to donate in March will be automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for two to the 2022 MLB® All-Star Game® in Los Angeles, California.

Thomas Pest Services kicks off fourth annual Cerebral Palsy Awareness campaign SCHENECTADY — Local, family-owned Thomas Pest Services owners Bill Clark and Sarah Thomas-Clark are announcing their annual campaign to raise awareness for Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, in honor of their seven year old daughter, Riley.

Riley was diagnosed with right side spastic hemiplegia at age one and a half. While Riley has suffered impairment to her coordination and fine motor skills, she has never let her disability bring her down. Riley is a fighter and attends weekly occupational and physical therapy to help with her condition.

CP is near and dear not only to the Clarks, but a number of other employees at Thomas Pest Services.

Thomas will be hosting an online fundraiser for Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation all month to raise support for the cause.

Russian gymnast wore a ‘Z’ when standing by a Ukrainian champ — it symbolizes support for the invasion Jonathan Edwards The Washington Post

Ukrainian gymnast Illia Kovtun shook the hand of the silver medalist he’d just beaten as the two athletes stood on the podium Saturday to accept their medals. He did not extend the same courtesy to the bronze medalist on his left.

Ivan Kuliak, a 20-year-old Russian gymnast, was wearing a white “Z” shape on his chest.

Although the letter does not exist in the Russian alphabet, the symbol is quickly emerging as a way for Russians, following “a propaganda campaign,” to show support for invading Ukraine and rally around a new nationalism, an expert said.

The International Gymnastics Federation, the sport’s global governing body, said it will request a disciplinary investigation into what it called “shocking behaviour” from Kuliak. Regardless, the Taishan World Cup Artistic Gymnastics in Doha, Qatar, was one of the last international events in which Kuliak can compete.

At a town board workshop meeting on March 1, Marriott said he could not speak publicly on Ciccone’s departure from the board, a stance he reiterated Monday.

“I can confirm that he was not reappointed to the position,” Marriott said. “He was not fired, he was not reappointed to his position as chair. It was due to personnel matters that I cannot discuss.”

Ciccone disagreed with the supervisor’s categorization of the matter as a personnel issue.

They couldn’t get answers from the prompt and then they finally get ahold of a person and the only explanation was that it’s a computer problem. Aside from that, energy costs are going through the roof. That’s kind of an underlying issue as well.”

Images of “Z” shapes have been seen across Russia in recent weeks. In the days leading up to the Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, white “Z” symbols started appearing in photos of Russian tanks and other equipment as the military prepared to attack, Task & Purpose reported.

Some defense experts say the markings are a way for Russian troops to avoid friendly fire by distinguishing their military equipment from Ukraine’s, which has similarlooking tanks, according to Task & Purpose. Other experts say the symbol could be used within the Russian military to differentiate where various units were supposed to go after the initial invasion, the Independent reported.

“Often these symbols will be location-based - they will be communicating where a unit is heading,” Michael Clarke, former director of the Royal United Services Institute, a defense think tank, told the Independent.

Disney avoids taking a stand on Florida’s ‘don’t say gay’ measure Christopher Palmeri Bloomberg

Disney CEO Bob Chapek said the company won’t take a formal position on a pending Florida law prohibiting discussion of sexual orientation in schools, a departure from past actions.

Chapek said in a letter to staff that he met Friday with lesbian, gay and transgender employees to discuss the legislation. The letter was distributed to the media Monday.

“I and the entire leadership team unequivocally stand in support of our LGBTQ+ employees, their families, and their communities,” Chapek said. “We are committed to creating a more inclusive company — and world.”

Chapek suggested Disney won’t be making political statements in the future, because such positions can be detrimental to the overall goal that advocates may be trying to achieve. Disney is one of the largest employers in Florida thanks to its Orlando theme parks.

“Corporate statements do very little to change outcomes or minds,” Chapek wrote. “Instead, they are often weaponized by one side or the other to further divide and inflame.”

Chapek is two years into the job of leading the world’s largest entertainment company, but he’s only recently emerged fully from the shadow of his predecessor, Bob Iger, who retired as chairman in December. Disney has largely a new leadership team, including a head of communications, Geoff Morrell, who will be reassessing the company’s political giving and advocacy strategy around the

world, Chapek said.

Disney has taken positions on controversial legislation in the past. In 2016, the company said it might halt film production in Georgia if the state passed a bill allowing faith-based organizations to deny services to gay people. That bill was vetoed by the governor amid a surge of corporate denunciations.

Three years later, Iger said it would be difficult for the company to get filmmakers to work in Georgia if the state passed a law that restricted access to abortion.

Other Hollywood studios followed in speaking out about the law, which was blocked by a federal judge.

Disney took a stand last week against Russia after that country’s invasion of the Ukraine. The company halted new film releases in Russia, a move all other major studios followed.

Chapek said Disney’s efforts to create a more inclusive world will be better served through its film and TV output, citing recent movies like “Encanto” and “Black Panther,” as well TV series, such as “Modern Family.”

Ciccone serves as the vice chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Preservation League of New York State. He is also an author and a historic real estate consultant and developer on large-scale projects.

The Cornwallville Residents for Rural Preservation lawsuit against the town board and the Bosque Development Company is seeking to void a negative declaration issued by the Durham Town Board on Oct. 27.

appointed expert on this commission. The town openly discusses all appointments in public, so they can’t hide behind calling this a personnel matter.”

Ciccone was not compensated by the town for his service on the historic commission.

On Oct. 13, the preservation commission submitted a letter to Marriott with the commission’s historic impact finding on the proposed 12-home Bosque development project.

In the letter, written by Ciccone on behalf of the commission, he noted that all six members of the committee were unanimous in their findings.

“The Bosque proposal is unique in its magnitude and potential to change patterns of development, not just in the Cornwallville Historic

District, but the Town itself,” according to the letter. “If completed in full and sold at the prices envisioned, it would add 12 high-end homes and three farming structures to Durham’s tax rolls, a hugely positive result for the Town. If successful, it would also open the door for other such developments, making the careful planning of this project critical as precedent.”

The commission notes in the letter that “The DHPC is concerned that the proposal — whatever the aspirations of the developer — is, in its present design and site plan, a typical large-lot housing subdivision, and thus out of character with the Town-designated Cornwallville Historic District.”

Ciccone said the town board ignored the letter when it was submitted by the commission.

“We had a findings letter that was unanimously agreed to by all of the commission members,” Ciccone said. “The town board completely ignored it. They didn’t even address receiving it.”

Ciccone subsequently submitted a sworn affidavit in the Cornwallville Residents for Rural Preservation lawsuit.

“The town board basically had the ostrich approach, of entirely ignoring findings,” he said. “I ended up submitting personally, not in my official responsibilities, an affidavit in the Article 78 petition. I had legal advice that this was an OK thing to do. Because I thought that it was more or less illegal, not in the criminal sense, for the town to ignore a findings letter of any interested agency, but particularly its own historic preservation commission.

That litigation is ongoing.”

In the affidavit, Ciccone said that in its findings the DHPC concluded that the existing historic integrity of the Cornwallville Historic District relied on the relationship between the core hamlet and its surrounding rural land, which the commission found would be interrupted by the Bosque subdivision.

Ciccone said he believes the affidavit resulted in the town informing him that he would not be reappointed to the historic commission.

“Whatever is in the termination, it’s clear that this is purely retaliation for doing that,” he said. “I am awaiting news of this, but three of the five remaining commission members are going to resign in protest.”

Ciccone declined to name the commission members who may resign as a result of

When police arrived on the scene, their investigation indicated Dubois was holding three children, ages 1, 2 and 4 without permission and against their parents’ will in the room, Nevel said.

State police investigators trained in negotiations contacted Dubois on the phone but he refused to release the children or to surrender, Nevel said.

The State Police Special Operations Response Team was summoned to the scene. The team forced their way into the room and safely brought the children out without incident.

Dubois was then taken into

custody, Nevel said.

The three children were examined by professional medical personnel and all were fine, Nevel said.

Police did not say whether Dubois had a weapon during the incident or what might have led up to him taking the children hostage.

Dubois was familiar with the children’s mother, Nevel said but did not elaborate on their relationship.

Before the hostage incident occurred, state police were already looking for Dubois in connection with a parole violation, Nevel said.

State police were assisted

at the scene by Town of Ulster Police, Ulster County Sheriff’s Office and Ulster County Mobile Mental Health.

The Special Operations Response Team was formed in 1980 to provide a tactical response element for the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid.

There are currently five regional teams: Capital, North Central, South Central, South and West. The teams train and respond daily, providing their specialized services to communities and law enforcement agencies across the state, according to state police.

customers,” Luvera said on Monday. “These concerns didn’t seem like they were being addressed and we felt that the state had to intervene, as this wasn’t a county issue.

We’re hoping we get some answers from the PSC and a positive resolution for the consumer.”

In a statement on Monday, the state Public Service Commission said it was investigating the Central Hudson billing irregularities.

“Department of Public Service staff are aware of recent billing issues faced by customers of Central Hudson. An investigation is underway,” the department noted. “The agency is actively working with the utility to ensure these issues are resolved as soon as possible and appropriate plans are put in place to prevent these situations in the future. Meanwhile, an upcoming management audit will include a review of customer information

In a letter sent to customers dated March 4, Central Hudson acknowledged issues with its new billing system.

The company explained that

it replaced its four-decade old customer information system on Sept. 1.

“This major undertaking was needed in order to create a modernized service platform that will better accommodate our customers and

a transitioning energy grid,” according to the letter. “We’ve faced challenges during this transition. Although we are seeing steady improvement, there is still work to be done.

During this transition, billing issues have occurred that affected a portion of Central Hudson’s customer base.”

The company declared that it is working to resolve the billing issues along with its retail supplier Marathon Energy.

According to the letter, the company would send corrected bills to affected customers and that payment flexibility to compensate for residents who have experienced billing issues.

Groden said the county did not provide any names or addresses of customers who are having billing issues to the state and that they hoped to get answers from the state agency.

“Some people have had problems where they didn’t

get a bill for four months and then when they did it was a four-month bill,” Groden said.

“That’s a problem for people because with the infrequency and then the increased cost and increased commodity rate all combined into one, who do people complain to? It’s difficult to complain because the utility companies are controlled by the Public Service Commission. That’s why the memo we sent was to the Public Service Commission. The PSC approves all of the rate increases. They do all of the background checks on proper operations. We’re kind of on the sidelines, which is frustrating.”

In November, the PSC approved a three-year rate plan for Central Hudson that will see rates increase $1.72 per bill every month starting on July 1, 2022, with an additional $1.82 increase per bill starting July 1, 2023.

GLENS FALLS — The Ichabod Crane Riders defeated the Catholic Central Crusaders, 51-50, on Saturday afternoon to win the Section II Class B Boys Basketball Championship at Cool Insuring Arena in Glens Falls.

Tournament MVP Brett Richards

scored his 1,000th career point and finished with a game-high 29 for the Riders.

Daniel Warner and Alex Schmidt added nine and five points, respectively.

Nick Riley knocked down six three pointers to lead the Crusaders with 18 points, followed by Darien Moore with 13.

Richards made a nice move inside the paint for the game’s opening basket going

to the Riders. Warner had an early shot blocked inside the painted area by the Crusaders.

Moore got to the line and made one of two for Catholic Central, but Warner soon tied the game 6-6 with a nice two-handed floater from the side of the basket. Moore See RIDERS B3

Scheffler captures API by 1 shot during chaotic Sunday at Bay Hill Edgar Thompson Orlando Sentinel

In a sport where calm often prevails, golfer Scottie Scheffler thrives in chaos.

The Ryder Cup cauldron put Scheffler on the map.

February’s fan-crazed Phoenix Open was home to his first PGA Tour victory. During Sunday’s topsy-turvy Arnold Palmer Invitational, he once again rose to the occasion on a day when five different players held the lead, two golfers broke 70 and six carded scores in the 80s.

At windswept cold-blooded Bay Hill, Scheffler rode a bogey-free back nine to a oneshot victory over a trio of more accomplished players — 2020

Scheffler’s even-par 72 left him with a 5-under-par 283, tied with 1983 winner Mike Nicolette for the second-highest winning score behind Hatton’s 4-under 284 finish two years ago.

“I had my head down all day,” Scheffler said. “I kind of just tried to stay patient. I didn’t make any mistakes on the back nine. That’s probably really where I credit the win.”

With the victory, his second title in four weekends, Scheffler has gone from the PGA Tour’s best player without a win to one of the players to beat.

ICC volleyball drops heartbreaker in regionals Columbia-Greene Media

CASTLETON — Section III champion Chittenango edged Section II champion Ichabod Crane, 15-13, in the fifth and deciding set to earn a 3-2 victory in Saturday’s state Class B regional volleyball game.

Ichabod Crane, which finishes with an 18-3 overall record, took the first set, 25-17, dropped the next two, 25-17 and 25-23, before forcing a fifth set with a 25-19 victory in the fourth.

“This was a great match to be a part of, unfortunately, we did not come

out on the winner end of it,” Ichabod Crane coach Sean Connors said. “The kids left everything out on the floor. This ends a decade run for Ichabod crane that includes 7 sectional titles, 5 regional titles, and over 200 wins.

“I wish my seniors the best and thank them for their dedication to the program.”

MLB and players union resume talks but remain far apart on competitive balance tax Chelsea Janes The Washington Post

The previous time Major League Baseball’s negotiating team met with the players union’s negotiating team in person for a formal session, they did so in Jupiter, Fla., on little sleep and with emotions running high. That Tuesday session concluded with Commissioner Rob Manfred announcing MLB would cancel the first two series of the regular season because the sides could not agree on a new collective bargaining agreement in time to save them.

In the four days afterward, the sides flew back to their headquarters in

Manhattan, chatted on the phone and met informally.

On Sunday, as the ownerimposed lockout hurtled toward its 100th day and threatened to consume more regular season games, the sides sat down to talk again.

Exactly what constitutes the difference between a “formal” negotiating session - such as the one held on this day at the offices of the MLB Players’ Association - and the ones in the days before isn’t always clear. But Sunday, the interaction was considered more formal - and more official - because the union’s See MLB B2

Alex Bowman fends off Kyle Larson to win Pennzoil 400 Field Level Media

Alex Bowman beat defending Cup Series champion Kyle Larson in a tight two-lap shootout with a strong run off the final turn, winning the Pennzoil 400 Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

On the race’s final pit stop – brought out by Erik Jones’ wreck with three laps left – Bowman and Larson decided to take just two tires, putting the Hendrick Motorsports teammates on the front row.

Larson elected the high spot with Bowman underneath. They ran side by side until Bowman kept his Chevrolet down low and claimed his seventh career Cup win at the checkers.

“This thing was so fast all day, just never had the track position to show it,” Bowman said.

“What a call by (crew chief) Greg Ives and the guys to take two there. Obviously it paid off. It’s been a pretty awful start to the year, so to come out here and get a win on a restart deal like that is pretty special.”

Bowman’s previous best finish of the young season was 24th at the Daytona 500.

Ross Chastain, who led three times for a careerhigh 83 laps, came home third. Kyle Busch and William Byron rounded out the top five finishers in the 274-lap race.

Busch grabbed the lead after pit stops with 50 laps to go but took on four tires in the final stop and restarted fourth.

GARY A. VASQUEZ/USA TODAY

NASCAR Cup Series driver Alex Bowman (48) celebrates his victory of the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday.

Christopher Bell started from the pole and led the first 33 laps but fell back in the top 10. He looped his Toyota shortly after the halfway point and came home 10th.

Ryan Blaney, who has been fast in all three Cup races thus far, wrecked with former Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski and finished 36th.

After winning his first career pole Saturday

with a speed of 182.673 mph, Bell paced the first 33 circuits around the 1.5-mile track.

After starting shotgun on the field following a Saturday practice crash, Busch was involved in a spin behind Austin Dillon’s sliding No. 3. Busch also fought linkage problems on his shifter in the reserve car, brought out West for parts and unprepared to race.

“It’s a true testament to everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing,” Busch said. “The (No.) 18 guys, but also the 11, 19 and 20 – all of them for coming over and pitching in and making us go today. Really appreciate that.”

Bowman and Denny Hamlin took turns at the front, but it was Bowman leading a three-Chevrolet brigade to win the first stage.

In the seventh caution, Keselowski spun by himself and was struck by Blaney, who received significant damage just after the 100-lap mark.

“He just spun out on his own, and I was on the top and ran right into him,” Blaney said. “He lost it right of front of us, I guess, and happy he’s still running (while) we’re sitting here wrecked.”

Chastain passed Larson and led Chase Elliott to the line to give his No. 1 team its first-ever stage-points win on Lap 165 to close out the second stage.

With most of the field pitting with 50 laps to go, Hamlin made a shifting mistake and brought out the 11th caution period – eventually turning over the lead to Busch.

Milazzo was named New York State Class B Player of the Year her senior year at Ichabod Crane, was twice named Colonial Council MVP and helped the Riders win two Section II Class B championships.

Scheffler From B1

Scheffler sealed Sunday’s triumph with a two-putt from just inside 70 feet on the par-4 18th hole, leaving Hatton a shot back while he waited in the clubhouse.

“Right now I’m exhausted,” Scheffler said. “This course is a total beat-down trying to play. I’m very pleased I didn’t have to play any extra holes.”

Needing to answer with a birdie to force a playoff, Hovland left short a putt off the fringe from slightly outside 15 feet for a 2-over 74.

Since Saturday with a 4-shot lead, Hovland was 6-over and took 30 putts Sunday -- 7 more than the 24-yearold needed during a Friday 66 that gave him the 36-hole advantage.

“I just struggled on the greens today,” he said. “That was kind of the story of the weekend. Pretty frustrating.”

Horschel had the final chance to force extra holes and deliver a highly coveted victory for a 35-year-old who grew up 90 minutes away on the Space Coast. Horschel attended the API as a kid, caddied in the pro-am and was a Florida Gators senior All-American in 2008 when Tiger Woods sank a 25-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole for one of his eight wins at Bay Hill.

On Sunday, Horschel faced a putt on a similar line, this from 29 feet, but slid the ball 3 feet by the hole on the high side.

“I’m not going to lie, I read it, and I’ve heard Tiger say he’s read it and he’s always played a little bit more break,” Horschel said. “I played it probably two more balls than what my initial read was. I hit it a little too hard, played it a little too much high -- either one of those.”

Horschel’s miss ensured the API’s 54-hole leader would not win for the fifth time in six years, leaving Hatton the only golfer to prevail with the final-round lead since Jason Day in 2016.

Co-leaders at 7-under entering Sunday, Horschel and Talor Gooch came undone on the front nine.

MLB From B1

negotiating team presented a written response to MLB’s previous proposal, codifying items that the sides had previously only discussed and putting long-standing positions in print.

The offer contained few changes from the one the union pitched before the sides broke up in a relative huff Tuesday, and MLB’s negotiating team was left frustrated by that.

“We were hoping to see some movement in our direction to give us additional flexibility and get a deal done quickly. The Players Association chose to come back to us with a proposal that was

eight holes.

“I don’t give up,” he said.

“I’m going to battle till the end. I’ll go down in flames before I tap out.”

Meanwhile, Gooch’s collapse was too much to overcome. Two double-bogeys highlighted a front-nine 43 during a round of 77 on a day when the scoring average was 75.5.

Hatton’s 69 and Lucas Herbert’s 68 were the only sub-70 final-round scores and among three scores in the 60s during the past three Sundays at Bay Hill. The other is Matt Fitzpatrick’s 69 in 2020.

“We know the weekends are pretty brutal here,” Hatton said.

Extremely challenging environments and conditions are proving to be wheelhouse for Scheffler, a 25-year-old Texan now No. 5 in the world rankings.

During the 2021 Ryder Cup win at Whistling Straits, Scheffler’s 4&3 singles win against world No. 1 Jon Rahm served notice and stood out amid the U.S. team’s resounding win.

The exuberant if not unruly crowds at Phoenix test a player’s focus while a gettable golf course forces an aggressive approach on nearly every shot. Bay Hill’s fast, firm, breezy conditions, numerous water hazards and highly penal rough keep a golfer on edge and playing cautiously for 18 holes.

“I’m pretty pleased to be able to win on two very different types of tournaments,” Scheffler said.

Scheffler credits his closing ability to the competitiveness gleaned from his father, Scott, a stay-at-home dad while mother, Diane, served as a chief operating officer at a Dallas law firm.

Scheffler’s toughness mirrors his maternal grandmother, Mary DeLorenzo, who walked 18 holes Sunday 17 days shy of her 87th birthday.

The Schefflers and golf fans everywhere hung on every shot Sunday at Bay Hill, where the tournament winner was as much a survivor.

“When the conditions get really tough and the fields get really good, I get excited,” Scheffler said. “That’s why I practice, to come out here and compete. I work hard, and being in these moments is really fun.”

worse than Monday night and was not designed to move the process forward,” MLB spokesman Glen Caplin said. “On some issues, they even went backwards. Simply put, we are deadlocked.

We will try to figure out how to respond, but nothing in this proposal makes it easy.”

The players union did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The most significant changes to the players’ offer were these, according to a person familiar with it: The players agreed to drop their ask for a pre-arbitration bonus pool worth $85 million to $80 million, rising by $5 million in each season of the five-year deal. MLB’s latest proposal included a stagnant $30 million.

Knicks end 7-game skid in big way, wallop Clippers Field Level Media

The New York Knicks pulled out of a seven-game tailspin while snapping the host Los Angeles Clippers’ five-game winning streak in a 116-93 rout on Sunday.

New York stifled Los Angeles defensively, holding the Clippers to just 33-of-88 (37.5 percent) shooting from the floor and 11-of-34 from 3-point range. Amir Coffey’s 16 points off the bench led Los Angeles.

Six Knicks players scored in double figures, led by RJ Barrett’s 24 points. He has scored at least 20 points in five straight games. He also grabbed nine rebounds and dished four assists.

Immanuel Quickley and Cam Reddish came off the bench to score 21 and 17 points, and Quickley hauled in 10 rebounds to go with a game-high six assists. Mitchell Robinson also recorded a double-double of 12 points with 11 rebounds – eight of which were offensive – and Alec Burks added 15 points.

Julius Randle struggled shooting from the floor in his return to the lineup after a second-half ejection Friday in Phoenix. Still, he managed 10 points despite his 4-of-16

performance and grabbed eight rebounds.

New York never trailed and built a lead of as many as 32 points. Los Angeles appeared to have life at the end of the third quarter when the Clippers cut the gap to 12, but the Knicks did not allow a point in the fourth quarter until 3:29 in.

New York scored the period’s first 10 points, and blew the game open with a 25-8 overall run.

The Clippers’ Isaiah Hartenstein and Luke Kennard came off the bench to score 14 and 10 points.

Los Angeles’ starting five combined for just 36 points, led by 11 from Terance

Mann. Reggie Jackson added 10 points.

Stuck at 78 points until 3:20 to go in regulation, the Clippers appeared headed for their lowest-scoring performance of the season since posting just 81 on Nov. 19 at New Orleans. They finished with something of a flourish, scoring 15 points.

Kreider scores twice as Rangers beat Jets for third straight win Colin Stephenson Newsday

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — The longest remaining road trip for the Rangers this season got off to a rousing start Sunday when the Blueshirts wore down the struggling Winnipeg Jets, beating them 4-1 in Canada Life Centre, to kick off a four-game trip that continues Tuesday in Minnesota.

Chris Kreider continued the spectacular season he’s having by potting two goals as the Rangers won their third straight game and improved to 36-155 and pulled into a tie for second place in the Metropolitan Division with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Both teams have 77 points, but the Rangers have one game in hand on the Penguins, and have two more victories than Pittsburgh.

Kreider’s two goals gave him 38, which pulled him into a tie with Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl for secondplace in the league, one behind leagueleader Auston Matthews of Toronto.

His first came on the power play, in the first period, and the second came at 6:21 of the third period on a pretty play in which the speedy Kreider collected a pass banked off the left boards by Mika Zibanejad, then cut across the slot against Winnipeg goalie Connor Hellebuyck, and flipped a backhander into the net.

That made the score 3-1, and Zibanejad made it 4-1 with his 22nd of the second to cap the scoring.

Though they pulled away from the Jets in the third period, the Rangers were once again kept in the game by their goaltender, Igor Shesterkin, the odds-on favorite to win the Vezina

implement three rule changes, with 45-day notice, beginning in 2023: a pitch clock, larger bases and shift restrictions. MLB also asked for the ability to implement automatic umpiring systems (better known as “robot umps”) with the same 45-day notice.

The union did not agree.

Those changes, like all other parts of the union’s proposal, are contingent on MLB accepting all aspects of the deal - including those it rejected in the previous offer the union made. So even as the sides whittle down what they will and won’t give, shaving off a bit here and there, the sticking points remain the same - and they remain just as sticky.

For example, the union wrote into its proposal Sunday that it will drop its request to increase the number

Trophy. Shesterkin, who is making a strong case to be the Hart Trophy winner, as Most Valuable Player. Shesterkin (28-6-3) made 44 saves as the Rangers were outshot 45-22.

Gallant pulled a surprise when he scratched forwards Julien Gauthier and Morgan Barron opted to dress a lineup featuring 11 forwards and seven defensemen, inserting defenseman Libor Hajek into the lineup for the first time since Feb. 1, the last game before the NHL All-Star break. Hajek had been scratched for eight consecutive games.

Why Gallant would go with the unorthodox lineup was a question to be posed after the game. Was he upset

of two-year players who qualify for salary arbitration (colloquially known as the players who reach “Super Two” status) if MLB accepts the union’s proposal for a competitive balance tax threshold - which did not move from the starting threshold of $238 million the players pitched Tuesday.

The union also agreed to accept all non-monetary penalties for teams that cross the CBT threshold as long as MLB agrees to end the current qualifying offer system, which offers draft pick compensation to teams that lose free agents.

But the CBT - a soft salary cap, as the players see it - continues to be a point of major disagreement. MLB’s previous offer was for a CBT that began at $220 million in 2022 and grew to $230

with Barron and Gauthier, and teaching them a lesson? Was he giving Hajek ice time to showcase him for a potential trade? Or was one of his top six defensemen nursing some sort of injury that the coach feared might end up leading to him being unable to finish the game?

In any case, Gallant and his bench staff made it work in the first period.

It helped that Barclay Goodrow beat his defender to the back post to tap in a feed from ex-Jet Jacob Trouba for his 12th goal of the season and a 1-0 Rangers lead at 2:01. Kreider’s NHL-leading 19th power play goal made it 2-0 at 17:28.

million over the life of the five-year deal. MLB officials argue those numbers keep with year-over-year CBT growth in prior CBAs - but the union argues those numbers are way too low, given the rate of revenue growth in recent years.

The owners’ previous offer on minimum salary was $700,000 - just $25,000 shy of the players’ most recent proposal. The sides seem to be fairly close on that, provided shifting on other parts of the deal doesn’t led to shifting on that number, too.

And major shifts could still be in the works because, even as the owners communicated their desire to expand to a 14-team postseason because of the television revenue involved, the players’ proposal Sunday agreed only to a 12-team setup - the same

format they agreed to when the sides parted ways in Florida.

People involved in the negotiations expect more talks this week in New York, but nothing had been scheduled as of Sunday afternoon. Every day that goes by without a deal introduces more scheduling questions and monetary concerns to the already unwieldy negotiations. Every day that goes by without a deal threatens more regular season games, cuts into MLB revenue and slices player salaries. And every day that passes dulls the frustrations of those who care about the game into something closer to apathy, leaving MLB on the cusp of further alienating its thinning fan base.

Ichabod Crane’s Dan Warner puts up a shot against Catholic Central’s Darien Moore during Saturday’s Section II Class B boys basketball championship game at Cool Insuring Arena in Glens Falls.

Riders From B1

got a steal on defense for the Crusaders and laid it in for two.

Riley nailed a three near the end of the period for Catholic Central, and they held a commanding 16-8 lead over the Riders after one.

Richards got called for an offensive foul on Ichabod Crane’s opening possession, but recovered later and converted a fastbreak layup at the 5:10 mark to cut the lead to 1612. Jack Mullins made a short jump shot over a defender for another two points for the Riders.

Alex Schmidt blocked a shot from beyond the arc by the Crusaders’ Danny Bologna, took the ball the other way and missed a shot but Richards was there for the putback.

Moore made a nifty move on a drive into the paint for Catholic Central, shifting his weight and momentum, and twisting to get around Richards for two points. Then Riley drained another shot from three point range and Warner knocked down a three of his own to close out the half with the Crusaders up 27-25 at the break.

Connor Gemmill opened the second half for the Crusaders with a mid-range two pointer to get things going.

Richards answered with a tough shot through tough defense in the paint for two points as well.

Darien Moore got tangled up on Catholic Central’s next

possession and hit the ground pretty hard. Moore got up and looked good to go, but had to go to the bench for a few plays after being down on the floor for a minute or two.

Schmidt got fouled hard on the Riders’ next possession as well, and made one of two from the free throw line. After Moore checked back into the game, Riley knocked down a three point shot to give the Crusaders a 34-28 lead. Then Seimir Roberson made a shot from beyond the arc for Catholic Central to give them a nine point lead with 2:59 left in the third.

Richards got to the line for the Riders and made both foul shots, but Ichabod Crane was still not boxing out for rebounds or following their own shots and it was hurting them.

Nick Riley was almost automatic from three point range, and made another one to maintain the 10 point lead for the Crusaders. However, the Riders got a quick four point burst in the closing moments of the third period, making it a two possession game 40-34 as the quarter ended.

Warner had his foot directly on the line, but knocked down a long two point shot for Ichabod Crane to start the fourth quarter. Then the Riders got a rebound off a Crusaders miss and Quinn Rapport got the outlet pass as he cut to the basket and laid it in to make it 40-38.

Ichabod Crane stole the ball on the next possession and Schmidt found Rapport in transition again for two points to tie it 40-40. Both teams were playing through what seemed

like obvious contact on multiple occasions and no fouls were called in those instances.

On cue, Riley drained another three-ball for Catholic Central and they took a 43-40 lead as Ichabod Crane took a timeout. Next Richards made a tough shot for two points over two defenders in the painted area for the Riders. He then stole it on defense and dished to Mullins who muscled his way into the paint for two points and the lead 44-43.

Darien Moore returned the favor and got a steal of his own, knocking down the bucket and earning an extra foul shot.

Moore made the free throw to complete the three point play and put the Crusaders up 4644. Richards got to the line for the Riders and made one of two to cut the lead to one.

Richards hustled down the court after a steal by Ichabod Crane and got another putback on a missed layup by Rapport to give the Riders a 47-46 with 1:49 on the clock.

Moore answered Richards’ efforts with a three pointer of his own to put the Crusaders on top once again, 49-47.

Richards would not be outdone however, and made another nice move inside for two and the tie, 49-49.

Qwameik Smith got to the foul line for Catholic Central with under a minute to go and made one of two to give the Crusaders the lead 50-49.

Schmidt was fouled and missed the front end of the one-and-one, forcing the Riders to foul again with under 20 seconds left in regulation.

They fouled Gemmill and he missed at the line as well and

the Riders had one last chance.

Alex Schmidt was fouled yet again and given a shot at redemption at the free throw line. Schmidt made the first to tie it, and then made the second to give the Riders a 51-50 lead with eight seconds remaining as the Ichabod Crane

The Crusaders had one final chance and Seimir Roberson tried to draw contact on an awkward shot from beyond the three point line, but was untouched as the shot hung in the air and bounced off of the rim. The horn sounded and

Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay property taxes in accordance with state and local law. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. 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.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Dysfunctional relationships collide in workplace affair Dear Abby, I’m a supervisor at my job and have feelings for a married man who also works here. He’s lonely and looks to me for attention, companionship, sex and to listen to his troubles. We have only had sex once, but I know I cannot continue this “relationship.”

DEAR ABBY It breaks my heart because I care for him deeply, and IF he was single, this is someone I could actually have a relationship with. I have already told him I won’t accept any more of his offers to walk me home, and to quit texting me. He’s open with his wife regarding dating other people. It seems she’s also “talking” to another man outside of their marriage.

Am I delusional to think he will leave her for me? He has difficulty expressing his emotions, but I think he still loves his wife. I know their marriage is broken, and it’s not my job to fix it for them or to push him to choose me over her.

Please, I would appreciate any advice you can offer. By the way, I’m also married, but my husband lives 7,000 miles away. After seven years, his immigration status still needs to be resolved. I’ll probably ask him for a divorce because I’m no longer in love with the man I married. He knows I have been dating someone because I told him.

You didn’t mention whether there are policies in your business about fraternizing, but if there are, then what you have been doing could get you fired. You have already started disengaging

from this office romance, so please continue to do that.

Because of the unique circumstances of your marriage, you have some serious decisions to make. Do not drag your co-worker into it. IF there is the possibility of a future with him, he also needs to decide if he is satisfied with the status quo before making any other commitments. I know you are lonely, but for your sake and his, back off.

Dear Abby, My husband of more than 20 years has taken to hiding decorative accessories that he doesn’t like. An example: A designer bowl set packaged in a box suddenly disappeared from the cupboard. The plug-in air freshener from my home office also went missing. A lamp I moved from the living room to the foyer appeared on my bookcase two hours later. My complaints fall on deaf ears. His favorite coffee mug and iPad are about to mysteriously vanish. Can you talk some sense into him?

Hide And Seek In Georgia Is this recent behavior, or has your husband been hiding things all during your marriage? If it’s recent, your husband may need a medical checkup, because what you are describing can be a symptom of dementia. If he’s mentally fit, you two need to work on sharpening your communication skills and, perhaps, agree that before any more items are brought into the home the TWO of you share, they’re not something either of you will hate.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are not entirely free from eccentricity, but you are still able to make your way through the world without attracting a great deal of attention — though that doesn’t always serve your overall purpose in life, which is to develop your sometimes unusual talents to the fullest and parlay them into lasting success. This will require you to do the kinds of things that turn heads again and again.

You are quite attractive, and others are continually doing things to win your attention and affection — but you tend to be rather stingy with such a feeling, and you don’t give your heart away easily, despite the fact that others give you theirs seemingly at the drop of a hat!

Your love life is your own business; your heart doesn’t advertise.

Also born on this date are: Aidan Quinn, actor; Micky Dolenz, actor and musician; Freddie Prinze Jr., actor; Alan Hale Jr., actor; Cyd Charisse, actress and dancer; Jim Rice, baseball player; Camryn Manheim, actress; Lynn Redgrave, actress.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9 PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You may be spending too much time trying to sort out someone else’s mistakes. Today you must try to get on with your own business.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You can avoid an error today simply by saying “no.” Once you take the time to go over all the ramifications, you’ll be able to reconsider.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Something you’ve been working on in secret is nearing com-

pletion. Is today the day to let the cat out of the bag? Consider all angles.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Criticism comes from an unusual source today, but that means it’s likely something you’ll want to listen to instead of dismissing out of hand.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You can make up for lost time today without having to shortchange anything that is of central importance to your status at work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You may not be able to explain why you are leaning in a certain direction at this time, but past decisions haven’t been quite this controversial!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You may not be calling the shots, but you can surely influence one who is. You can have some say over what happens today as a result.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may have trouble scheduling a group effort today because no one seems willing to compromise. Try taking a different approach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You’ll receive assistance today if you ask for it — but once you accept it, you may have to make room for a very different overall approach.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You can surely meet “official” expectations today, but is that enough for you? Your contentment depends on something more at this time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You can trust someone you’ve known for quite a while to see through a current complication and identify the central issue for you today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You must come to terms with a certain weakness or shortcoming today before you attempt to do something that will put it on display.

WEST Pass

What call would you make?

A - A singleton opposite partner’s presumed strength is not ideal. We think this is very close between pass and 3D. We like 3D, but just barely.

WEST 1♠

EAST 2♠

What call would you make?

A - This is why some players open 1D with this hand. We think double is the best choice. Maybe partner can work out what to do. He knows we are short in spades.

Partner opens 1NT and right-hand opponent passes. What call would you make?

A - This hand is very close to being worth an opening bid, perhaps just the 10 of spades away.

It doesn’t get there, however. Pass.
