Attorney sues to toss Assembly maps By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

NEW BALTIMORE — Attorney and child victims advocate Gary Greenberg is set to file a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court in Steuben County on Tuesday asking the court to throw out state Assembly district maps drawn by the state Legislature. The suit is set to be filed six days after the State Court of Appeals ruled that congressional and state Senate maps drawn by the Democraticcontrolled state Legislature are

unconstitutional. In the April 27 ruling, Chief Judge Janet DiFiore wrote in a footnote that the court could not throw out the state Assembly maps, despite their “procedural infirmity,” as the original case did not challenge the state Assembly maps. Greenberg, who ran for the state Senate as a Democrat in 2020, will challenge the maps in a case where he will be the sole plaintiff. “I’m a voter and a citizen in the state and I’m tired of the corruption that goes on in Albany,”

Greenberg said Monday. “The legislature and the governor were supposed to set new redistricting every 10 years and do it by the constitution, which was changed back in 2014 after the voters decided that they wanted more input in the districts. This was totally ignored. “What came out of the process of the Senate and the Assembly and what the governor signed were unconstitutional, gerrymandered maps. It went to court and the highest court in New York state threw the state Senate and congressional maps

out. But no one had asked for the Assembly seats, but the appeals court stated in a footnote that if they were asked they would have thrown out the Assembly maps because the same process was used with the illegality of the other two maps.” In 2014, New York voters passed the New York Redistricting Commission Amendment proposal, which created a redistricting commission to draw up congressional, state Senate and state Assembly districts.

3 deaths push Greene COVID toll to 129

CATSKILL — Greene County confirmed three new deaths related to COVID-19 on April 29, representing the highest one-day total in the county since three deaths were recorded on Nov. 29. On April 28, the county recorded its 126th death tied to COVID, as an unidentified male in his mid-90s died. The man was vaccinated at the time of his death but also had underlying issues. On Friday, the county announced three additional deaths related to the virus, with a trio of unidentified men passing away in the hospital due to COVID-related illness. Two of the men were in their mid-80s, with one man in his mid-70s at the time of his death. All three had received at least two COVID vaccine shots at the time of their death. The latest round of virus deaths continued a trend in the county that has seen COVID claim the lives of mainly elderly residents. “I think the issue is are they passing away because of COVID or are they passing away with COVID?” Greene County See COVID A8

Officials: Real estate boom drives soaring rents By Maura Rosner Columbia-Greene Media

High demand, no availability.

The cost to rent an apartment in Greene and Columbia counties is skyrocketing and government leaders said Monday they believe it is because of the recent boom in real estate. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s estimates for population and components of change, Greene County saw a 1.19% increase from April of 2020 to July of 2021. Greene County was second to Sullivan County in population growth, following the pandemic’s exodus from New York City and the surrounding metro area. It is estimated that 48,499 people now live in Greene County. The Census Bureau estimates that 568 individuals have relocated to Greene County, but how this has affected the problematic housing needs in the area is up for debate. “My No. 1 goal is to create more

affordable housing,” Mayor Kamal Johnson of Hudson said Monday. “Citizens contact my office daily inquiring about affordable housing and there is nothing available. Workingclass and local people are being displaced to the outskirts. Long-term Greene and Columbia county residents have been forced to relocate to cities like Albany and Troy.” The Census Bureau’s median gross rent estimates are based on 2020 data. In 2020, the median gross rent in Hudson was $924, Albany $992. Catskill (town and village combined) had a median gross rent of $925. The real estate market indicates significant increases to these numbers. Rent prices in Albany are up between 2% and 7%. Catskill rent prices are up between 6% and 23%. “Real estate has ballooned over the See RENTS A8

Rudy Giuliani during a hearing before the Georgia Senate Judiciary Committee. Prosecutors could also investigate the 16 phony Republican electors who cast ballots for Trump in a sham ceremony in December 2020. Willis previously told state officials that among the potential violations of Georgia law she was examining were criminal solicitation to commit election fraud, intentional interference with the performance of election duties, conspiracy and racketeering. If there’s enough evidence that someone committed a crime, Willis recently told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “I’m going to bring an indictment — I don’t care who it is.” Monday’s proceedings at the Fulton County Justice Center Complex are expected to snarl traffic in downtown Atlanta. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office has advised the public to avoid the area if possible and announced a slate of road closures surrounding the courthouse. Jury selection is expected to be relatively straightforward and take about a day, though it’s possible it could bleed into Tuesday. After the panel’s lineup is set,

Fulton Superior Court Judge Robert C.I. McBurney, who’s been assigned to supervise the special grand jury, will swear in the jurors and task them with their legal responsibilities. Prosecutors are also expected to give introductory remarks about how the process will work and answer questions. Some of the proceedings will be streamed live on the Fulton County Superior Court webpage. The substance of the DA’s investigation, though, and the specific records and witnesses that prosecutors are seeking to subpoena will only be shared behind closed doors. All grand jury proceedings are conducted in secret, which means that neither the press nor lawyers for Trump will be allowed to monitor the discussion. Unlike regular grand juries, which meet for two-month periods in Fulton County and hear hundreds of different felony cases, special grand juries convene for much longer and focus on a single issue. This panel is authorized to meet for up to one year, but Willis said it’s possible their work could wrap up sooner. At the end of their service,

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger holds a news conference on the status of ballot counting on Nov. 6, 2020, in Atlanta.

Toronto 54/49 Chicago 49/39

ATLANTA — Jury selection is slated to begin early Monday in downtown Atlanta for a special investigative panel that will delve into the actions of former President Donald Trump and his allies as they sought to reverse Georgia’s 2020 election results. Prosecutors from the Fulton County District Attorney’s office are set to choose 23 residents, along with three alternates, to serve on a so-called special purpose grand jury. The group will provide some much-needed investigative firepower to prosecutors, who have reached out to some 30 witnesses who have declined to testify voluntarily over the course of their 15-month-long criminal probe. That includes star witness Brad Raffensperger, the Republican secretary of state whom Trump called in January 2021 and pressured to reverse Joe Biden’s win in Georgia. The special grand jury can issue subpoenas for documents and testimony but can’t approve indictments. Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis would ultimately need to present a case in front of a separate regular grand jury to do the latter. Still, impaneling a special grand jury represents a “significant legal step” in a potential criminal case, said former Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter. “I think (Trump) probably should be concerned in that now, instead of just investigators poking around the edges, he’s got a grand jury that can go directly to the heart of it and compel testimony,” Porter said. “They may be able to compel his testimony.” In addition to the TrumpRaffensperger phone call, Willis has indicated that her team is scrutinizing the abrupt resignation of former Atlanta-based U.S. Attorney BJay Pak; a November 2020 call that U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., placed to Raffensperger; and false claims made by Trump attorney

special grand juries issue a set of recommendations about what the DA should do next, including potentially pursuing charges. The top prosecutor can then choose to agree with or ignore the advice. Special grand juries have been used sparingly in Georgia, mainly for complex public corruption cases. Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, said that such bodies tend to take on personalities of their own. Jurors often become deeply interested in the cases before them and can proactively make requests of prosecutors. “Anything’s possible because they don’t just sit there and listen to two sides present a case. They get to ask questions, they get to get involved,” he said. “They can break out in committees if they want to look at different things, and then come back and report to the full body.” Out of the 23 grand jurors, 16 must be present at any given time to conduct business and at least 12 must agree for a subpoena or any other action to be approved. In the opening weeks of the investigation, the grand jury is expected to meet regularly and issue a flurry of subpoenas, though Willis said she won’t require witnesses to testify before June 1 in order to steer clear of the May 24 primary election. Trump has remained relatively tight-lipped about developments in Fulton County, though he previously called his phone call with Raffensperger “perfect” and complained more broadly about “radical,” “vicious” and “racist” prosecutors singling him out. Legal observers, however, expect Trump’s attorneys to fight to delay and stymie the proceedings at every turn.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz plans to invite Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as special guest to a Group of Seven leaders’ summit next month as part of an effort to forge a broader international alliance against Russia. Germany, which currently holds the rotating G-7 presidency, will also welcome the leaders of Indonesia, South Africa and Senegal to the gathering in the Bavarian Alps June 26 to June 28, Scholz’s spokesman, Steffen Hebestreit, said Monday at a regular news conference in Berlin, confirming a Bloomberg report published Sunday. The German leader is hosting Modi for talks in Berlin later on Monday and there will also be a joint German-Indian cabinet meeting. Despite concerns over the prime minister’s reluctance to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and a recent jump in India’s fossil-fuel imports from Russia, Scholz decided the G-7 should court India, according to people familiar with the matter. Given India’s growing population and long democratic tradition, Germany sees the country as a potentially valuable partner in efforts to isolate Russia, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the

discussions are confidential. Scholz also sees an opportunity to work closely with Modi in other policy areas such as climate change and defense. The German government wants to strengthen bilateral ties with India in the coming years and also supports the European Union’s efforts to embrace the country by offering economic incentives, which could help it rethink its ties to Russia, the people added. In their meeting on Monday, Scholz and Modi will discuss how to further ease immigration rules for skilled workers from India to tackle labor shortages in Europe’s largest economy, and how to accelerate technology transfer to India in the push to reduce climate-damaging carbon emissions. In the medium term, Germany also wants European defense companies to offer India an alternative to Russian weapons deliveries, as a way to reduce its reliance on Moscow. German business is skeptical about dealmaking with India. The country’s neutral stance on Russia complicates Scholz’s efforts to strengthen economic and political ties, said Wolfgang Niedermark, board member of Germany’s powerful BDI industry association. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Scholz is looking to

deepen connections with other democratic countries. That’s why the 63-year-old Social Democrat picked Japan for his first trip to Asia as chancellor last week, instead of following recent tradition and traveling to China with a business delegation. India was among the more than 50 countries that abstained from a United Nations vote to suspend Russia from the UN Human Rights Council in April. It hasn’t imposed sanctions on Moscow over the war in Ukraine and is instead is boosting energy imports. India is also a significant buyer of Russian weapons. Indian Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra said in a media briefing on Sunday that Modi will “exchange perspectives” on the war in Ukraine during his visit to Germany, France and Denmark. Germany and its G-7 allies, including the U.S., U.K., France, Italy, Japan and Canada, have imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia, but few other countries

have joined those efforts -- and many governments in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East remain reluctant to do so. The seven governments have been coordinating efforts to engage key countries, and India is high on that list.

Fire stopped quickly at Catskill home By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — The quick actions of first responders stopped a fire at a Catskill home Friday before it could do any major damage, Catskill fire officials said. At about 5:10 p.m., Greene County 911 sent Catskill and Hudson fire companies to 24 Summit Ave., after receiving a caller reported that their porch was on fire. The caller was told to evacuate the residence. Before firefighters arrived, Catskill police arrived and began attacking the flames with fire extinguishers, fire official said. Firefighters arrived and began soaking the remaining fire with water, and opening up portions of the home, to make sure the fire was out, fire officials said. Fire trucks blocked a very narrow Summit Avenue while crews worked. With 30 mph winds gusting Friday, the fire could have gotten out of control quickly, fire officials said. The cause of the fire has not been determined, Catskill Fire Chief John Holt said Monday. Catskill Police and Catskill Ambulance assisted at the scene. Athens and West Athens fire companies were on stand-by, but were not needed.

Catskill Center’s birding event takes flight in May ARKVILLE — A weekend of expert-led birding walks and talks resumes in person this year, during “Taking Flight 2022: Flock Together,” May 1315. The event will focus for the first time on building an inclusive birding community. Leaders of the Feminist Bird Club will deliver the keynote address. “At Feminist Bird Club, we believe that the outdoors is for everyone. Taking time to think about how to make events accessible, being mindful that accommodations are as individual as each person who needs them, and listening to people when they tell you what they need will make your events more successful and more enjoyable for everyone,” says Martha Harbison, Feminist

Bird Club Vice President. “We’re excited to have these discussions at Taking Flight and demonstrate some of the ways we think about inclusion at Feminist Bird Club.” Harbison will lead a workshop and a walk to identify and help birders appreciate often hard-to-spot female birds. Other highlights of the 2022 schedule include beginning birding, apps and birding, bird banding, and an early morning hike to the top of Hunter Mountain in search of Bicknell’s Thrush and other high-elevation bird species. “The Catskill Center is proud to offer a first-rate birding weekend for seasoned and new birders alike.

OUR VIEW

A highway of tears On May 6, a march and a rally to honor missing and murdered indigenous people, especially women, will take place in Hudson. But it will be more than that. Speeches will be delivered and traditional chants will be revived to raise awareness of a modern crisis — the kidnapping and murder of indigenous people. The march is sponsored by Forge Project, a private native-led art, culture and decolonial education initiative in partnership with Radical Indigenous Survivance and Empowerment, or RISE, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the education, dissemination and evolution of indigenous culture. On March 7, the Hudson Common Council designated May 5, the day before the march, as the National Day of Awareness for Missing

and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Indigenous women and girls are murdered at a staggering rate 10 times higher than women of all other ethnicities and three times higher than Anglo-American women, according to Native Women’s Wilderness. Murder is the third leading cause of death for indigenous women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 84% of indigenous women have experienced violence and more than 56% of indigenous women experience sexual violence, according to a report by the National Institute of Justice Report. Many tribal nations consider the abduction and murder of indigenous people an epidemic, with some describing it as a form of genocide. Missing and murdered

indigenous women may be rooted in the systemic belief that they are devalued and dehumanized in a predominantly white colonial-minded society and can easily be killed and tossed aside with little media attention. The May 6 march will begin at the Henry Hudson Riverfront Park at 5:30 p.m. and conclude at Hudson City Hall about 7 p.m. and will represent the Highway of Tears, the mournful name of a 450-mile stretch of Highway 16 in British Columbia, Canada, where many indigenous women have been abducted and killed. Educators, lawmakers and law enforcement should treat these killings and kidnappings with urgency and act to fix this critically damaged social system.

ANOTHER VIEW

A group of senators met last week to try to prevent anyone from stealing the 2024 presidential election or from once again inciting an armed mob to attack the Capitol. The bipartisan band, led by Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va., aims to update the 1887 Electoral Count Act, the archaic law that governs how Congress counts electoral votes that became a focus of Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. The fate of the nation’s democracy might rest on whether these senators strike a deal, and soon: If Republicans take the House after November’s elections, a radicalized House GOP caucus will likely refuse to do anything that could be construed as hostile to Trump. Some of the Democrats in the bipartisan group want to add voting-related measures to the bill they are negotiating. This is understandable; Congress has done nothing as Republican state legislatures have erected innumerable new barriers to voting. But the group should not get sidetracked. Electoral Count Act reform can attract 60 Senate votes; voting rights measures cannot. Simply updating the act

would be an important victory for democracy. Following the 2020 vote, Trump’s lawyers cooked up cockamamie interpretations of the act that would have, among other things, permitted thenVice President Mike Pence to throw out electoral votes at will. Thankfully, Pence resisted Trump’s pressure campaign to act on these fatuous arguments. But a future vice president might not be so principled. An alarming number of GOP lawmakers also used the act’s vague language reading into the act broad congressional authority to intervene when electoral appointments are not “lawfully certified” or when electoral votes are not “regularly given” - to object to counting electoral votes from a series of swing states that Joe Biden carried. This language was not supposed to empower partisan congressional majorities to reject presidential electors at will, but that was essentially the interpretation most House Republicans embraced. The bipartisan negotiators must clarify the process so it leaves no room for a de facto coup. It should be clear that the vice president serves nothing but a pro forma role tallying electoral votes. Members of Congress

The Daily Mail welcomes letters to the editor. All letters must contain a full name, full address and a daytime telephone number. Names will be published, but phone numbers will not be divulged. Letters of less than 400 words are more likely to be published quickly. The newspaper reserves the right to edit letters for length, clarity and content. Letters should be exclusive to this publication, not duplicates of those sent to other persons, agencies

should be allowed to object to presidential electors only under extremely narrow circumstances - say, if state officials send in a slate in defiance of a court order. The threshold for triggering a debate on whether to accept a state’s electors should be far higher. The bipartisan group appears to agree on these basics. It should also take more than a bare majority to sustain such an objection, so it would be extremely difficult for one party to unilaterally overturn a presidential election. So far, the bipartisan group has not agreed on that reform. Lawmakers should clarify the role of the courts, empowering the judicial branch to sort out election disputes before Congress counts electoral votes. And they should make it crystal clear what happens when the House and the Senate disagree on a state’s electoral slate, so there is no question about which candidate gets a state’s votes. The country cannot limp into another presidential election with electoral rules open to partisan misinterpretation and abuse. Congress should have no higher priority than fixing the Electoral Count Act, immediately.

Where did all the conservative hand-wringing over judicial restraint go? WASHINGTON — “Something has powerfully gone awry,” U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth B. Prelogar told the Supreme Court this week. “This is not how our constitutional structure is supposed to operate.” Prelogar was arguing against a federal judge’s order requiring the Biden administration to reinstate its predecessor’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. In the annals of judicial overreach, the case presents a particularly flagrant example: a single Trumpappointed judge in Texas effectively dictating U.S. immigration and foreign policy. Flagrant, but not unusual. One day later, a different Trump-appointed judge, in Louisiana, prohibited the Biden administration from implementing its plans to lift the pandemic border policy known as Title 42. The order is temporary, but the judge has signaled his intention to require the administration to keep in place the public health rule preventing migrants seeking asylum from entering the country. The week before, yet another Trump appointee, this one from Florida, vacated the Biden administration’s mask mandate for public transportation. Judicial review of agency decisions or executive orders is not just permissible; it is a fundamental component of the rule of law. Federal courts served as an important bulwark against executive branch excesses throughout Donald Trump’s presidency. “The administration’s record in the federal courts remains gratifyingly dismal,” I wrote in a column toward the end of the Trump administration. So it’s fair to ask: Is this just griping about decisions I don’t like from judges with a judicial philosophy I don’t share? I don’t think so. Something different is going on here. The shift is built on a phenomenon that took off during the Trump administration but has persisted during the Biden presidency: the use of nationwide injunctions — orders issued by a single district court, often strategically chosen for the likelihood of finding a sympathetic judge, that apply beyond the immediate parties in the case to completely block an administration policy. Now, however, that willingness to halt executive action has been harnessed to the radical anti-regulatory stance endemic among Trump-appointed federal judges. They have routinely evaded the rule that courts should defer to the expertise of administrative agencies,

WASHINGTON POST

RUTH

MARCUS insisted that Congress speak with clairvoyant precision to authorize a regulation and transformed textualism from sensible interpretive method into an excuse for intervention. Taken together, these developments offer supposed conservatives — those who profess to believe in judicial restraint — the ability to weaponize the federal judiciary to hobble the Biden administration. Conservatives loathed these nationwide orders, and many liberals welcomed them, when they were deployed to frustrate the Trump administration, from blocking his travel ban to preventing him from removing protections for immigrant “dreamers.” A nationwide injunction, then-Attorney General William P. Barr warned in 2019, “gives a single judge the unprecedented power to render irrelevant the decisions of every other jurisdiction in the country.” The next year, Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, decried the “increasingly common practice of trial courts ordering relief that transcends the cases before them,” arguing it creates “a nearly boundless opportunity to shop for a friendly forum to secure a win nationwide.” Somehow conservatives’ complaints have been muted with a Democratic administration in office. In the “Remain in Mexico” case argued this week, the justices refused the Biden administration’s earlier entreaty to lift a district judge’s order that it reinstate the Trump policy. It’s hard to square that with the court’s willingness to intervene when a different district judge blocked “Remain in Mexico” from taking effect. What’s the difference, exactly, other than that one policy was adopted by a Republican president and one by a Democrat? Combine this with conservative judges’ antipathy to regulation, and you have a recipe for judicial activism. This was on florid display in the mask mandate case. The judge strained to ignore statutory language authorizing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to take steps “as may be

necessary” to limit contagion. She adopted a particularly cramped interpretation of the law’s provision allowing for “sanitation” measures. She found the CDC had no power to take such a “major” step as requiring passengers to mask up. For good measure, she wrote that despite “the criticism about nationwide injunctive relief” and her own “skepticism” about such edicts, she was obligated to issue an order affecting every single passenger in the country. “How is the ridesharing driver, flight attendant, or bus driver to know someone is a Plaintiff to this lawsuit with permission to enter maskfree?” she asked. Oh please. A rule is enjoined nationwide because a few people said wearing masks made them panicky? The “Remain in Mexico” case featured similarly tortured textualism. Federal immigration law provides that migrants not immediately eligible for entry “shall be detained” while their status is being decided. But no administration, Republican or Democrat, has ever detained every such person. There simply aren’t enough beds. Another provision states that immigration authorities “may return” asylum seekers to Mexico while their cases are being decided. Lower courts in the case, ignoring reality and rewriting language, insisted that “may” means “must.” The administration, they said, had a simple choice: Either detain would-be entrants or return them to Mexico. But, as Prelogar told the court, “on this reading, every presidential administration, in an unbroken line for the past quarter-century, has been in open violation” of the law. Even more worrisome, as Justice Elena Kagan pointed out, the lower courts’ rulings put judges in charge of foreign affairs and immigration policy. “It puts the United States essentially at the mercy of Mexico,” she observed. “Mexico has all the leverage in the world to say: Well, you want to do that? You want to comply with the court’s order? Here are 20 things that you need to do for us.” Conservatives have lectured us for years that judges shouldn’t be substituting their own policy preferences and that courts should be respectful of presidential authority, especially when it comes to foreign affairs. Something has powerfully gone awry, indeed. Ruth Marcus’ email address is ruthmarcus@washpost.com.

Spirit rejects JetBlue takeover bid, sticks with Frontier offer By Mary Schlangenstein Bloomberg

Spirit board unanimously rejected JetBlue’s unsolicited $3.6 billion takeover bid over concerns it wouldn’t be consummated, saying it would instead stick with a lower offer from Frontier. “The JetBlue proposal involves an unacceptable level of closing risk,” Spirit Chairman Mac Gardner said in a letter to JetBlue released Monday. “Spirit continues to believe in the strategic rationale of the proposed merger with Frontier and is confident that it represents the best opportunity to maximize long-term shareholder value.” The decision keeps Spirit and Frontier on a path to create the nation’s largest deep discounter -- carriers that charge fees for everything beyond a low, bare-bones ticket -- at a time of rebounding domestic leisure travel. Spirit had accepted Frontier’s $2.9 billion cash-and-stock offer earlier this year before JetBlue stepped in last month with a bid that raised questions over possible antitrust pushback. The move stymies JetBlue’s best shot at near-term growth. While the carrier didn’t increase its $33-a-share cash offer, it revealed a sweetened bid on Monday with pledges to divest assets and include a $200 million reverse breakup fee. The plan aims to reduce risk of regulatory resistance while protecting an existing alliance in the northeast U.S. with American Airlines. Spirit shares tumbled 10% at 11:30 a.m. in New York, the biggest intraday decline in almost two months. JetBlue rose less than 1% and Frontier fell 3.9%. The decline in Frontier’s

stock price since the original deal announcement reduces the value of the merger. In its latest proposal, reviewed by Spirit’s board in recent days, JetBlue offered to divest all Spirit assets in New York and Boston if needed to avoid gaining greater market share in those cities, the carrier said in a separate statement. It also could surrender gates and assets at other airports, including Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where JetBlue and Spirit both have a large presence. “We have confidence that we can complete this transaction,” JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes said in the statement. “Spirit shareholders would be better off with the certainty of our substantial cash premium, regulatory commitments and reverse breakup fee protection.” JetBlue is evaluating possible next steps, a spokesman said. Whether Spirit shareholders support the board’s choice will be determined at a required vote on the Frontier agreement. A date hasn’t been set. “Assuming Spirit’s shareholders do not pressure the board to reconsider, the option exists, albeit uncertain if

it will be pursued, for JetBlue to escalate things and issue a formal proxy to put its offer for a side-by-side vote,” Savanthi Syth, a Raymond James analyst, said in a note Monday. A regulatory review of Frontier’s proposed acquisition of Spirit has been ongoing and it will be several months before the deal potentially closes, Spirit CEO Ted Christie said in a memo to the airline’s employees. Frontier declined to comment. The Northeast Alliance between JetBlue and American already is the focus of a lawsuit by federal antitrust enforcers who say it gives the pair too much market concentration in Boston and New York. Speculation has grown that the U.S. Justice Department might not

No Menthol Sunday is May 15 By Karen dePeyster, TobaccoFree Action of Columbia & Greene Counties For Columbia-Greene Media

When the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced a year ago that it was intending to ban the sale of menthol cigarettes and other flavored tobacco products, among those cheering loudest were advocates from the Center for Black Health & Equity, which has lobbied against menthol for more than twenty years. The Center sponsors No Menthol Sunday every year in mid-May as a way to raise awareness about how menthol became the cigarette of choice for 85% of Black smokers (it’s not by accident) and what a heavy toll it takes. Smokingrelated illness — heart disease, lung cancer, stroke — is the leading cause of death among African-Americans, claiming 45,000 lives annually. The FDA announcement last year was based on science and the interests of public health, but like all matters played out in an arena where politics and money operate freely, it is not a guarantee. There are many steps before a legal ban can be made official, and plenty of opportunity along the way for delay or derailment. In 2009, when the FDA was first given authority to regulate tobacco, its first act was to ban flavored cigarettes; menthol was exempted, precisely because of the interplay of politics and money. With that disappointment in mind, the Center has made the theme of this year’s No Menthol Sunday one of determination and resolve: “Fight to the Finish.” In the 1950’s, only 5% of African-Americans who smoked were menthol users. The tobacco industry, seeing

dollar signs in the growth potential for this market, set out on a calculated, well-financed campaign to cultivate a strong customer-base in Black communities by finding every possible way to associate their menthol brands—Kool, Salem, Newport—with Black culture. In his recent book “Pushing Cool,” Keith Wailoo, Professor of History and Public Affairs at Princeton University, describes this strategy as “predatory,” racial marketing” and “blaxploitation.” Unfortunately, cynical profiteering is often a winning formula. By 1968 the proportion of Black smokers who used a menthol brand had climbed to 14%; then it rose by startling increments to 42% in 1976 and 80% by 2000. Of course, menthol, with its minty taste and cooling sensation, also has widespread appeal among all groups of smokers, especially teens and young adults. The popularity of menthol brands rose sharply after other flavored cigarettes were banned by the FDA in 2009 and continues to increase, now accounting for almost 40% of the market. Last summer, staff from our program conducted observations in all stores that sell tobacco in Hudson and the surrounding Town of Greenport. Every one of them said that their bestselling cigarette is Newport. Twenty years ago, or maybe even10, the answer for most would have been Marlboro. For menthol ban advocates, the bottom line is saving lives and improving health. Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the nation, even as smoking rates have decreased. In a 2011 report detailing its findings on menthol

cigarettes, the FDA concluded that they are more addictive, create more dependence, and are harder to quit than unflavored brands. The report estimated that a menthol ban would cause 39% of all menthol smokers and 47% of African American menthol users to quit, and prevent 2.3 million new youth smokers within 10 years. On April 28, a full year after its initial announcement, the FDA formally published two proposed regulations, the first to ban menthol cigarettes; the second to ban flavored cigars. It will likely take another year for multiple layers of comment, review and revision to be completed. At every step tobacco lobbyists will be trying to disrupt the process. After the regulations are finalized, lawyers for the tobacco companies will almost certainly sue in an attempt to prevent them from going into effect. The fight is not over yet. But for now, on May 15th the Center for Black Health & Equity and its many allies will be celebrating what they hope is the beginning of the end for menthol cigarettes, and urging the public to be vocal in its support.

Red Cross and Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice: Giving blood or platelets is a simple act with a powerful impact POUGHKEEPSIE — The American Red Cross, Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice and Suburban Propane have joined together to encourage communities to commit to a simple act with a powerful impact – giving blood or platelets for patients in need. This spring, it’s critically important the Red Cross maintains a readily available blood supply for those who rely on transfusions for treatment. Since donated blood has a limited shelf life, supplies must be constantly replenished to ensure a sufficient inventory of blood products. With no substitution for blood and no way to manufacture it, volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for patients with sickle cell disease, car accident victims and parents experiencing difficult childbirths. As a blood donor himself, Jerry Rice urges individuals to roll up a sleeve and take pride in the lifesaving impact they’re making. “Here’s your chance to make a difference,” said Rice. “You never know who you might be helping. It could be a friend or family member who needs blood — and that’s why it’s so important.” As a thank-you, Suburban Propane is fueling a lifetime of road-tripping memories with a special opportunity for donors who answer the call to give power to patients. Those who come to give blood, platelets or plasma through May 19, will be automatically entered to win a travel trailer

camper that sleeps eight. Plus, those who come to give will also receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of choice, all courtesy of Suburban Propane.* “We are honored to join our longtime partners at the American Red Cross and football legend Jerry Rice to raise awareness about the need for blood this spring,” said Nandini Sankara, spokesperson, Suburban Propane. “This effort is a wonderful addition to our SuburbanCares initiative, aimed at giving back to our local communities throughout the nation, and we are delighted to sponsor the camper giveaway in hopes of motivating even more people to donate blood and give the gift of life.” A simple act can lead to lifesaving care. To schedule an appointment to donate blood, platelets or plasma, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-CROSS (1-800733-2767).

Implementing the NYS Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act COPAKE — Earth Day 2022 underscored the urgency of dealing with the global climate crisis. New York State has already passed bold legislation to address the problem, through the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act of 2019. And on Jan. 1, 2022, the 60-member body charged with laying out the steps needed to implement the act published its detailed roadmap for public comment. The Columbia County Libraries Association, in partnership with the Columbia County chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby, is offering an informational program on the proposed implementation of the Climate Leadership and Community

Protection Act of 2019 at 6 p.m. May 16. This presentation will feature an expert on the subject, former state Senator Jen Metzger, who was an active member of the Senate working group that created the CLCPA. Metzger, a resident of Rosendale, is currently senior advisor to New Yorkers for Clean Power and policy advisor to Partners for Climate Action Hudson Valley. While elected bodies regularly inform the public and invite input on proposed legislation, the scope of New York’s climate act makes public awareness and input especially important, because the changes required to reduce the impacts of global warming will affect major aspects

of daily life — not only generating power, transportation, manufacturing, and agriculture but also how we heat and cool our homes, what we purchase, and how we dispose of our waste. Additional input will be provided by Peter Savio, of Schoharie. Through his 19 years as a NYSERDA program manager, Savio has extensive experience developing clean energy solutions for commercial and institutional entities large and small and has worked closely with the state agencies that will have primary responsibility for implementing the CLCPA.

Central Hudson helps reduce emissions, protects the environment POUGHKEEPSIE — In Celebration of Earth Day, Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. is reminding customers about the many ways they can reduce carbon emissions and help protect the environment through energy efficiency programs offered by the utility. “Central Hudson is proud to help our customers conserve natural resources and protect the environment through our full suite of energy efficiency programs,” said Charles A. Freni, President and CEO of Central Hudson. “Thousands of customers have already seen how these programs can pay for themselves while helping New York State achieve its nationleading clean energy goals.” In 2021, energy efficiency measures taken by Central Hudson’s customers saved an annualized 74 million kilowatt-hours of electricity and nearly 65,500 dekatherms of natural gas, equating to nearly $10.8 million in energy costs. Since 2009, customers enrolled in Central Hudson’s energy efficiency programs cumulatively save nearly $86 million annually, reducing energy demands by enough to power 52,250 homes and avoiding nearly 1.1 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year, or the equivalent of removing 102,880 cars from the road or planting nearly 512,600 acres of forest. Central Hudson was recently named an ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year for exceptional efforts in promoting and educating its customers on ENERGY STAR® certified products. It is the EPA’s highest honor, which recognized Central Hudson for substantially increasing customers’ energy-saving impact. Central Hudson has helped facilitate the purchase of more than 800,000 LED lightbulbs, 1, 600 smart thermostats and approximately 600 electric heat pump water heaters in the last year. “As the technologies and resources that power our service area continue to develop, we continue invest in our

local energy grid so that we can best deliver these critical services to our customers safely, reliably and efficiently,” Freni said. Solar installations within the utility’s service area are among the highest in New York on a per-capita basis, with nearly 11,400 systems installed by residents and businesses with 245 megawatts of total solar capacity. This level of capacity has the potential to supply the average electricity use of up to 40,000 homes or approximately 6 percent of the region’s electric consumption while reducing carbon emissions by approximately 90,000 tons. Central Hudson customers can subscribe to a share of the electricity generated by a local solar farm or other source of clean energy through the Clean Energy Marketplace. The marketplace allows customers to search and sign up for clean, renewable energy projects in their area that can help them save on their electric bill while reducing carbon emissions. Since the start of the program in July 2020, subscribers in the Clean Energy Marketplace have helped offset 6,927 tons of carbon emissions per year. Central Hudson promotes electric vehicles, which are less costly to operate and reduce emissions by 60 to 85 percent. A new Central Hudson program will facilitate the installation of 3,204 Level 2 chargers and 69 Direct Current Fast Chargers within the service area by 2025 through partnerships with municipalities and private developers. Central Hudson is also engaging municipalities and fleet owners in determining the feasibility of adopting select electric cars and trucks, including its own utility fleet. In 2021 alone Central Hudson facilitated the installation of nearly 6,500 heat pumps and plans to promote the installation of at least 12,000 ground or air-source electric heat pumps in total by 2025. In conjunction with the New York State Clean Heat Program, Central Hudson offers homeowners up to $1,000

off per 10,000 btus for airsource electric heat pumps for customers removing their existing conventional heating source and up to $500 per 10,000 btus for those retaining their conventional heating source. As an example, a 1,600 square-foot house with modern building code practices and average to better insulation could require a heat pump system providing a heat load of 40,000 btuh, which would equate to a Central Hudson/Clean Heat incentive of up to $4,000 when removing the old conventional heating system. Customers converting to a ground source heat pump system can receive up to $2,000 off per 10,000 btus. Central Hudson also assists residents and businesses in converting heating systems from oil or propane to natural gas, where available, to reduce energy costs and lower emissions by 30 percent. To support these initiatives, Central Hudson continues to invest in the electric and natural gas systems to modernize the energy delivery infrastructure and enable expanded use of clean resources. State-of-the-art equipment and systems are being deployed to improve the efficiency, durability and reliability of the energy delivery system. These improvements are also critical to integrating the growth of distributed resources such as solar and battery storage. Central Hudson also protects the environment through its operations, for example by reusing and recycling tons of materials through a partnership with Ulster-Greene ARC started more than 30 years ago; reusing and retreading tires for its fleet; and operating three hydroelectric plants to produce local renewable power to supplement the energy needs of its customers.

Sues From A1

The state court ruled April 27 that the state Legislature did not have the authority to draw new maps earlier this year after the independent redistricting commission failed to reach a consensus on new districts, which were last drawn in 2012. “So I decided to file a suit to throw out the Assembly maps and to ask the court to take over the procedures,”

Greenberg said. “They would set what the petition process would be since some of these petitions have been ruled unconstitutional, like in the governor’s race. In that race, you had to get signatures all over the state, but you had to get a certain amount in the congressional districts. These petitions that have been submitted come from unconstitutional election districts. So they should be thrown out. “All of these should be reopened in the state Senate and the Assembly. If new candidates want to come forward to run, all of the power to them

A special master is going to draw up all of these seats.” Special master Jonathan Cervas was assigned by the court to draw new congressional and state Senate maps, with Greenberg hoping to add the state Assembly maps to his docket as well. “I think it’s a very strong case,” Greenberg said. “We’re going to go a step further and ask that the governor’s petitions also be invalidated for the ones that were submitted because they involve congressional districts that have been

The county has recorded a total of 10,900 COVID cases since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. “We’ve dealt with this for almost three years now,” Greene County Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger, R-New Baltimore, said Monday. “I’m not sure at what point they call this an endemic and realize that people are going to die, just like they do with the flu and

other illnesses.” While the county has recorded five COVID deaths in the last seven days, the number of residents hospitalized due to COVID-related illnesses stood at 11 as of Monday. “That’s the metric now that we’re all focusing on as this thing mutates,” Groden said. “Is it becoming less severe and therefore we’re not getting the same hospitalizations? My concern would still be about those nursing home facilities with the confined quarters. There’s

Hudson’s median household income is $39,292. The city of Albany has a median household income of $48,512. Catskill reported $42,200 as its median household income.

Using Hudson’s lowest listed apartment price of $2,250 and multiplying it by 12 — the cost of one year’s monthly rent — renters would be responsible for paying $27,000 per year. With the median household income for Hudson at $39,292, renters would only have $12,292 left to live on for that year. That would leave a potential Hudson renter $588 under the

Jury selection postponed in Parkland mass shooting case Rafael Olmeda South Florida Sun Sentinel

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Jury selection in the Parkland mass shooting case was postponed Monday until next week, after the lead defense attorney and two other lawyers could not make it to court. Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer did not publicly discuss the reasons for the lawyers’ absence from the Fort Lauderdale courtroom. Although she did not mention COVID-19, she asked whether one of the attorneys was being “tested.” Prosecutors wore masks in court Monday. Lawyers at the defense table, and defendant Nikolas Cruz, did not. Scherer said the jury selection process will be postponed for a week and would resume May 9. The judge was able to settle some unfinished business Monday — the questioning of 11 jurors who were dismissed last month, over the objections of prosecutors and defense lawyers, after they said they could not follow the law on the case. Ten of the 11 answered a summons and appeared in court Monday. Nine of them were dismissed after they told the judge serving on the case would be a financial or personal hardship. One was asked to fill out a questionnaire and moved to the second phase of jury selection. Cruz pleaded guilty last October to 17 counts of

We don’t want the Legislature to decide what the petition process will be. They should be totally taken out of it.” The new map for the 102nd State Assembly district includes all of Greene and Schoharie counties, as well as portions of Albany, Ulster, Otsego and Delaware counties. Assemblyman Chris Tague is set to square off with Democratic challenger Nicholas Chase in

a race that could be reshaped if Greenberg’s lawsuit proves successful. “It’s bewildering to me that the Republicans didn’t include this in their original lawsuit,” Greenberg said of the State Assembly maps. “That tells me that the Republicans and Democrats in the assembly made a deal not to challenge each other’s maps. The 102nd district and all of them are not drawn correctly. The incumbents have used the election process in New York as an incumbent protection plan.”

Jan. 6 committee asks 3 more GOP lawmakers to voluntarily cooperate Dave Goldiner New York Daily News

The congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol on Monday asked three more Republican lawmakers to voluntarily cooperate. The panel asked Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama, Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas and Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona to come forward to answer questions. “As we work to provide answers to the American people about that day, we consider it a patriotic duty for all witnesses to cooperate,” Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said in a statement. The committee said it wants information from the three staunch supporters of former President Donald Trump because they “participated in meetings at the White House and had direct conversations with President Trump leading up to and during the attack on the Capitol.” There was no immediate reaction from any of the lawmakers. “We urge our colleagues to join the hundreds of individuals who have shared information with the Select

Committee,” Thompson and Cheney wrote. Brooks, who delivered a fiery speech alongside Trump on Jan. 6, recently fell out with the ex-president after Trump withdrew his endorsement of Brooks in a hard-fought Alabama GOP Senate primary. Several other GOP lawmakers have snubbed previous requests to voluntarily cooperate, including House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., who had a stormy conversation with Trump as the violent mob rampaged through the Capitol on Jan. 6. Last week, the committee announced that it is in the closing stages of its probe. The committee has interviewed hundreds of witnesses and examined thousands of documents, including damning text messages showing Trump’s allies pleading with former chief of staff Mark Meadows to convince Trump to do something to stop the violence. Donald Trump Jr. has reportedly agreed to testify to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6. attack on the Capitol, and is the latest high-profile Trump insider to talk.

CATSKILL — The Catskill Cats won a 2-1 pitching duel over the Taconic Hills Titans in Friday’s Patroon Conference baseball game at Ricky Cramer Field. Cullen Fulling and Aaron Bonci both had strong games on the mound for their teams, but it was Fulling who came out on top Friday. The Cats grabbed a lead in the second inning and the Titans’ offense was essentially non-existent

against Fulling. They started a rally in the seventh inning, but Fulling surrendered just the one run and then finished the job for the Cats. Fulling struck out Kobe Van Alstyne to start the top of the first, and then got Zach Rowe on a groundout back to the mound. After he walked Bonci with two outs, Fulling got Brandon Rossano to ground out to second base to end the inning. See CATS B3

MLB roundup: Judge’s two homers lead Yankes to ninth straight win

Aaron Judge homered twice and drove in three runs as New York ran its winning streak to nine games with a 6-2 victory over host Kansas City on Sunday. Judge homered two batters into the game when he hit a 453-foot drive off Kansas City starter Daniel Lynch and connected again with two outs in the ninth off Josh Staumont. In between Judge’s seventh and eighth homers, he also drove in the tying run with a check-swing grounder off Scott Barlow in the seventh when the Yankees took the lead without getting a hit. Michael A. Taylor homered, Nicky Lopez scored on a wild pitch and Carlos Santana hit an RBI double in a three-run third before the Royals lost for the eighth time in 10 games. Kyle Isbel scored Kansas City’s other run on a throwing error by Josh Donaldson in the fourth. Mets 10, Phillies 6 Jeff McNeil and Dominic Smith tied their career highs with four hits apiece and Max Scherzer extended his unbeaten streak to 24 starts despite giving up three homers as New York won another series by beating visiting Philadelphia. The Mets have won a franchise-record seven straight series to open the season. The Phillies lost for jus the second time in seven games. McNeil went 4-for-5 with two singles and two doubles in his last four at-bats, his ninth four-hit game. His past four four-hit games have all come against the Phillies. McNeil’s last hit, an RBI double in the eighth, scored Brandon Nimmo with New York’s final run. Blue Jays 3, Astros 2 Kevin Gausman struck out 10 in seven innings, Santiago Espinal hit the go-ahead single in the seventh and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the visiting Houston Astros 3-2 on Sunday.

Bichette’s homer in the sixth inning was the Blue Jays’ first hit of the game against Astros left-hander Framber Valdez. Jordan Roman pitched around a double in the ninth to earn his 11th save. Roman had help from a diving catch in right field by George Springer on pinch hitter Alex Bregman. Valdez (1-2) allowed three runs, two hits, two walks and a hit batter in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out two. Cubs 2, Brewers 0 Pitching on his 31st birthday, Marcus Stroman allowed two hits over seven stellar innings and outdueled Corbin Burnes to earn his first victory for Chicago in a road win over Milwaukee.

Twins 9, Rays 3 Josh Winder pitched six shutout innings in his first major league start, Byron Buxton hit a home run and Jorge Polanco had four RBIs as Minnesota rolled to a victory over Tampa Bay at St. Petersburg, Fla.

Warriors outlast Ja Morant, Grizzlies to take Game 1 Field Level Media

Jordan Poole scored 31 points on 12-for-20 shooting, Stephen Curry finished with 24 points, and the visiting Golden State Warriors held on for a 117116 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday afternoon in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinals series. Poole and Curry drained five 3-pointers apiece as the Warriors recovered from a doubledigit deficit in the first half as well as the surprise ejection of veteran forward Draymond Green. Andrew Wiggins finished with 17 points, and Klay Thompson scored 15 despite making only six of 19 shots from the field. Ja Morant led the Grizzlies with 34 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds. Jaren Jackson Jr. contributed 33 points and 10 rebounds, while De’Anthony Melton scored 14 off the bench. The teams will meet for Game 2 on Tuesday night. Neither team led by more than four points during the final five minutes, which featured four ties

and two lead changes. Golden State’s Gary Payton II made a layup to even the score at 114114 with 1:35 remaining. Memphis quickly bounced back with an alley-oop dunk by Clarke that made it 116-114 in favor of the Grizzlies with 1:16 to go. Thompson put Golden State on top for good on a 3-pointer with 36.6 seconds remaining. Green was ejected with 1:18 remaining in the first half for a flagrant-2 foul against Brandon Clarke. Replays showed that Green made contact with Clarke’s head while swiping down with his arm, and he grabbed Clarke’s collar during the process. The Warriors finished the third quarter with a 9190 advantage. Golden State trailed 6661 when Curry went off for seven consecutive points to put the Warriors on top 68-66. Curry drained a pair of step-back jump shots and a 3-pointer as Memphis battled to keep pace. Memphis led 61-55 at the half.

Padres 5, Pirates 2 Trent Grisham went 3-for-5 with two RBIs as visiting San Diego topped Pittsburgh in the rubber game of a weekend series. Manny Machado and Jake Cronenworth added RBI singles for the Padres. San Diego starter Joe Musgrove (4-0), a former Pirate, gave up one run and seven hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. Taylor Rogers pitched the ninth for his ninth save. Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller (0-4) went six innings, the longest outing on the team this year. He gave up one run and five hits with five strikeouts and no walks. Angels 6, White Sox 5 Michael Lorenzen fell two outs short of his first career complete game and Mike Trout had two hits, including a solo home run, as visiting Los Angeles exhaled with a close win against Chicago on Sunday afternoon. Entering the ninth inning with a shutout intact, Lorenzen allowed three hits, the last a two-run double off the bat of Leury Garcia, before Raisel Iglesias yielded two more runs. The White Sox collected five runs and six hits and sent 11 men to the plate in the inning, but Ryan Tepera notched his first save of the season by getting Gavin Sheets to ground out to first base with the bases loaded to end the game. Trout smacked a solo home run against White Sox lefty Dallas Keuchel two batters into the afternoon. Angels star Shohei Ohtani left the game in the ninth inning with right groin tightness. Nationals 11, Giants 5 Yadiel Hernandez drove in a career-high five runs, including two in a five-run first inning Sunday afternoon that gave Josiah Gray an immediate comfort zone and propelled visiting Washington to a victory over San Francisco in the finale of their three-game series. Hernandez and Juan Soto collected three hits apiece for the Nationals, who ran up a total of 45 hits in taking two of three from the host Giants

one week after San Francisco swept them in a three-game set in Washington. Gray (3-2) coasted through six shutout innings, allowing just one hit, a single by Jason Krizan with two outs in the fifth. The Nationals jumped on Alex Cobb (1-1), reinstated from the injured list before the game, for four hits, three walks and five runs before he could get a third out in the first inning. Mariners 7, Marlins 3 Top prospect Julio Rodriguez slugged his first major league homer – a 450-foot bomb to left-center field – to lead visiting Seattle to a victory over red-hot Miami. The loss snapped the Marlins’ seven-game winning streak, their longest since 2016. The streak fell just two wins short of the franchise record. Miami starter Sandy Alcantara (2-1), who hadn’t allowed a homer since Opening Day, gave up two on Sunday – Rodriguez’s three-run shot and J.P. Crawford’s solo blast. Logan Gilbert (4-0), who started the day leading the American League in ERA, earned the win. He pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed three hits, four walks and one run, leaving his ERA at 0.64. Cardinals 7, D-backs 5 Harrison Bader and Nolan Arenado each hit home runs as part of a four-run rally in the seventh inning to lead host St. Louis over Arizona. The Cardinals’ seventh started with an Andrew Knizner single, followed by a Paul DeJong double off reliever Kyle Nelson. After Brendan Donovan grounded out to score Knizner and cut the deficit to 5-4, Keynan Middleton (0-1) replaced Nelson on the mound. Bader greeted Middleton with his first home run of the season, scoring DeJong to give St. Louis a 6-5 lead. Arenado added his sixth home run of the season with two outs. The Diamondbacks hit four home runs, two by Jordan Luplow, as the teams split their four-game series. Rangers 7, Braves 3 Adolis Garcia’s bases-loaded triple broke open a close game and sparked Texas to a win over visiting Atlanta in Arlington, Texas. Garcia was 3-for-5, scored a run and drove in four to help the Rangers win their second threegame series of the year. Garcia knocked in 11 of the team’s 25 runs during the seven-game homestand. Starting pitcher Taylor Hearn (1-2) bounced back from consecutive poor outings to earn his first win. He worked five innings and gave up two runs on four hits and three walks while matching his season high with six strikeouts. The losing pitcher was Kyle Muller (0-1), who was wild in his 2 2/3 innings and allowed seven runs on four hits, six walks and three strikeouts. Guardians 7, Athletics 3 Triston McKenzie struck out seven over 6 1/3 scoreless innings and Franmil Reyes drove in two runs as visiting Cleveland completed a three-game sweep of Oakland. McKenzie (1-2) allowed four hits and walked one for the Guardians, who have won three straight following a seven-game losing streak. McKenzie threw a season-high 96 pitches. Oakland starter James Kaprielian (0-1) struggled in his season debut, yielding four runs on three hits over two-plus innings. The Athletics trailed 7-0 before scoring three runs in the ninth against Anthony Gose. Oakland has lost six of its past eight games.

Celtics go cold in 101-89 Game 1 loss to Bucks Mark Murphy Boston Herald

BOSTON — The Celtics did their job on Giannis Antetokounmpo, and still it wasn’t enough. Though the Bucks star had to labor for the scoring part of his triple-double (24 points, 9-for-25 shooting, 13 rebounds, 12 assists), Milwaukee was even better at mobbing and bumping Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown as the Celtics sank under duress in a 101-89 loss in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Celtics, mostly limited to 3-point attempts and long 2s by Milwaukee’s drop-down coverage, were not able to come up with much as Tatum (21 points, 6-for-18 shooting) and Brown (12 points, 4-for-13 shooting, seven turnovers) struggled to get going. Despite two 3-pointers from Derrick White in the third quarter in his first since Game 1 of the Brooklyn series, the Celtics trailed at the start of the fourth quarter, 78-70. The Celtics opened the fourth with five straight misses, four of them 3-point attempts from Payton Pritchard, until Horford hit a 3-pointer with 8:15 left. The problem? Horford’s shot came in the midst of a 12-3 Bucks run for a 92-75 lead. Antetokounmpo followed up on the next Bucks possession by tossing the ball off the backboard and dunking the rebound for a 94-78 edge with 6:24 left. Brown hit a pair of 3-pointers midway through the quarter, followed by a Grant Williams 3 that cut the Bucks edge to 9684 with 3:49 left. But Antetokounmpo’s put-back dunk with just over two minutes left for a 101-87 lead salted it away. Late in the second quarter, Marcus

Smart, his right arm dangling in apparent pain, ran off the floor and headed for the locker room with a trainer, just as the Bucks were closing out with an 11-3 run for a 56-46 halftime lead. He was diagnosed with a right shoulder stinger and right quad contusion, and returned. Though Tatum heated up late, he and Brown shot a combined 5 for 18 in the first half, and slowly lost hold shooting a steady diet of 3-pointers. Tatum came out with back-to-back 3-pointers in the third quarter with Smart back on the floor, but the Bucks pushed their lead back out to 10 points. A White 3 helped take a bite out of that margin, and despite another from the Celtics guard, Milwaukee managed to hold onto a 78-70

lead at the end of the third. The game got off to a prehistoric pace, with the Bucks taking a 27-24 first-quarter lead thanks to a 10-0 closing run as Tatum, in particular, had trouble finding space in the paint. He finished the quarter 0 for 4, with one point. Tatum finally scored his first basket with 6:41 left in the half -- he and Brown were a combined 2 for 11 at that point -- and cut the Milwaukee lead to 36-34. With the turnovers and misses piling up, the Celtics fell prey to another Bucks run, this one a slow 11-2 burn for a 42-34 Milwaukee lead. The Bucks then closed out the half with an 11-3 burst for a 56-46 halftime lead.

Cats From B1

With Bonci on the hill in the bottom half Nate TimotShook dropped a base hit into shallow center field. TimotShook took off to second base after a pickoff attempt went wide of first but he got greedy and got thrown out at third trying to stretch it. Eddie Rogers popped out to left and Dan Smith was thrown out on a grounder to second to end the frame. Fulling kept the pressure on the Titans early and retired the side in order via two groundouts and a strikeout of Tyler Peck for out number three. With two outs and a runner aboard, Miguel Madera reached first base safely on a ground ball that the shortstop bobbled on the transfer and could not make the throw. Azar Brantley hit a ball very hard past the glove of the second baseman to drive in a run and give the Cats a 1-0 lead. In the top of the third, Ryan Walch was hit by a pitch with one out in the inning. Van Alstyne lunged and missed at a third strike and Rowe grounded out to second for the third out. Bonci answered with a good inning of his own in the third as he struck out the first two hitters and got Rogers to pop out to short. Fulling had another fairly pedestrian inning on the mound in the fourth and the Cats looked to add to their lead at the dish in the bottom half. Dan Smith lined out to first base to lead off the inning, but Dylan Carlson roped a double off the top half of the fence in right-center. Bonci escaped the fourth without harm however, after getting the next two batters on a groundout and a fly out to right. After a scoreless fifth and another 1-2-3 inning in the top of the sixth for Fulling, TimotShook was hit by a pitch to lead off the bottom half. He stole second during the next at-bat before Rogers lined out to shortstop. Smith came up and grounded out to short but moved Timot-Shook over to third on the throw to first. Carlson stepped into the box and slapped a base hit to center for another run and Catskill was now up 2-0. Fulling looked to finish

Troy Super moved the tying run to second base with a swinging bunt for the first out. Then Tyler Peck worked a walk to load the bases and Catskill felt the pressure but convened on the pitcher’s mound to calm down Fulling.

2022 NFL draft winners and losers Omar Kelly South Florida Sun-Sentinel

It’s too early to determine what a drafted player will be in the NFL, but it’s never too soon to evaluate whether a team addressed its needs or not in the 2022 draft. Take a look at how our NFL columnist grades each team’s draft, and forecasts what they should expect from their rookie class: — Arizona Cardinals: BTrading the 23rd pick to the Ravens for Marquise Brown was a wise move because he’s better than every receiver in this draft class, and his relationship with Kyler Murray could win over the disgruntled quarterback who is seeking a mega deal. Colorado State’s Trey McBride (pick No. 55) was the best tight end in this class. However, everyone else was filler. — Atlanta Falcons: BThe Falcons came into the draft with scraps at receiver, which explains why USC’s Drake London was their choice as the first wideout selected with the No. 8 pick. But it’s surprising they didn’t add another receiver. Taking Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder in the third round was a wise move because Marcus Mariota hasn’t proven he’s a top-20 quarterback in the NFL. Another need filled was at the edge, with the selection of Arnold Ebiketie, one of the most underrated talents in the 2022 class. — Baltimore Ravens: A The Ravens annually make the most of every selection, and this year was no different considering I love all 11 of their picks. Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton (No. 14) was the best player in the draft in my opinion. Center Tyler Linderbaum (No. 25) is a Day 1 starter. David Ojabo (No. 45) was a top-15 talent in the draft who slid due to an Achilles’ injury he suffered at his pro day, and Travis Jones, Daniel Faalele, Jalyn Armour-Davis could all become starters by their second season. — Buffalo Bills: A The Super Bowl contender added quite a few missing pieces during the draft. Former Florida standout Kaiir Elam gives them a man coverage cornerback with press ability to put across from Tre’Davious White. James Cook is a near-perfect fit for the outside-zone concepts the Bills use. Boise State’s Khalil Shakir was one of the best slot receivers in this draft and should help ease the offseason release of Cole Beasley, and adding Matt “Punt God” Araiza in the sixth round was genius and makes Matt Haack expendable. — Carolina Panthers: C With the sixth pick the Panthers were able to get their left tackle of the future in North Carolina State’s Ikem Ekwonu, the most physically dominant offensive lineman in this class, and they were also able to grab Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral much later than expected with the 94th pick. The rest of their draft class was filler, and none of those selections will likely keep head coach Matt Rhule’s seat from getting hot. — Chicago Bears: BThe trade that allowed Chicago to land quarterback Justin Fields last year prevented the Bears from having a first-round pick, but that didn’t stop Chicago from adding impactful players. Washington cornerback Kyle Gordon (No. 38) and Penn State safety Jaquan Brisker (No. 48) were two of the top-rated players at their position. And Tennessee receiver

Velus Jones (No. 78) was one of my favorite talents in this draft. All 11 picks should aid the Bears’ rebuilding process. — Cincinnati Bengals: CThe Bengals placed an emphasis on adding defenders who can help Lou Anarumo’s unit tighten up with its first three picks. Michigan safety Daxton Hill (No. 31), Nebraska cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt and Florida defensive lineman Zachary Carter should all be able to carve out important roles as rookies. However, the Bengals should have selected an offensive lineman earlier than pick No. 136, which was used on North Dakota State tackle Cordell Volson. — Cleveland Browns: B The Browns didn’t have a pick until the third round because of the offseason trade that landed quarterback Deshaun Watson. They also failed to unload quarterback Baker Mayfield and his $19 million contract. But Cleveland did managed to add some talent on defense with their first two picks, adding cornerback Martin Emerson from Mississippi State (No. 68) and Alex Wright from UAB (No. 78). Selecting two receivers — Purdue’s David Bell and Oklahoma’s Michael Woods II — was wise, but Watson needs more playmakers. — Dallas Cowboys: B The Cowboys are one of the best teams when it comes to talent evaluation, so don’t be surprised if Tulsa offensive lineman Tyler Smith, Mississippi pass rusher Sam Williams become immediate contributors, if not starters. And Wisconsin tight end Jake Ferguson (No. 129), LSU’s Damone Clary (No. 176), and Arkansas defensive tackle John Ridgway (No. 178) are excellent value picks. — Denver Broncos: B The offseason trade for Russell Wilson meant the Broncos weren’t on the clock until the end of the second round. Denver still managed to make two quality additions at areas of need, selecting Oklahoma pass rusher Nik Bonitto with the 64th pick, and then adding UCLA tight end Greg Dulcich, a potential Noah Fant replacement, at pick No. 80. The rest of the nine player draft class is a little underwhelming, but adding an elite quarterback like Wilson boosts any class. — Detroit Lions: C+ Landing Aidan Hutchinson with the second pick after Travon Walker went first overall to the Jaguars was a dream come true. Trading up 20 spots for injured Alabama receiver Jameson Williams was an aggressive move, one that could benefit the offense tremendously in 2023 when his knee injury fully heals. And Kentucky pass rusher Josh Paschal is a multi-gap disruptor who could become an immediate starter. But where’s the quarterback? Jared Goff can’t be Detroit’s final answer. — Green Bay Packers: BIt will take years to replace a talent like Davante Adams, but the Packers did add three receivers -- North Dakota State’s Christian Watson (34th pick), Nevada’s Romeo Doubs (No. 132), and Nebraska’s Samori Toure (No. 258) who all bring something different to the unit. Linebacker Quay Walker, defensive tackle Devonta Wyatt could be immediate starters, and center Zach Tom was one of my favorite Day 3 selections. — Houston Texans: A The Texans potentially added five starters in this second draft class of

a massive rebuild. Derek Stingley was viewed as one of the best cornerbacks in the draft. Texas A&M’s Kenyon Green was rated one of the best guards. The addition of Jalen Pitre in the second round gives coach Lovie Smith some versatility in the secondary, and Christian Harris might be more talented than any linebacker on Houston’s roster. — Indianapolis Colts: CThe Colts did not have a pick in the first round due to the trade of quarterback Carson Wentz to the Eagles, and added four underwhelming players on Day 2 in Cincinnati receiver Alex Pierce, Virginia tight end Jelani Wood, Central Michigan offensive tackle Bernhard Raimann and Maryland safety Nick Cross. Based on Indianapolis’ needs, and roster makeup, it is difficult to say the Colts got better. — Jacksonville Jaguars: C Trent Baalke put together a solid draft class for Jacksonville, and the general manager needs Travon Walker (first overall selection), Devin Lloyd (No. 27), Luke Fortner (No. 65) and Chad Muma (No. 70) to become immediate starters, if not contributors to help him keep his job. The only thing this draft class was missing is a safety. — Kansas City Chiefs: BAs usual, the Chiefs made the most of their late selections, adding five players who could become starters in their second or third season with some developmental time. Cornerback Trent McDuffie, who the Chiefs had to trade up to pick No. 21 to get, can play both man and zone coverage well. And Western Michigan receiver Skyy Moore could blossom into an elite slot receiver. — Las Vegas Raiders: B The Raiders were not on the clock until the third round because of the offseason trade that produced Davante Adams, and Las Vegas’ first three selections — Memphis guard Dylan Parham, Georgia tailback Zamir White and LSU defensive tackle Neil Farrell Jr. — all have the talent to become starters in time. However, the Raiders should have made it more of a priority to address the offensive line instead of waiting until the seventh round to select Ohio State’s Thayer Munford Jr.. — Los Angeles Chargers: BThe Chargers used the 2022 draft to fortify the offensive line, and add defensive backs to the secondary, addressing two of the team’s glaring needs. Zion Johnson (No. 17) and Jamaree Salyer (No. 195) both have the talent to start at guard. But the selection of Baylor safety J.T. Woods at No. 79 was a head-scratcher because the Chargers have Nasir Adderly and Derwin James in the fold. — Los Angeles Rams: C+ The Rams continued their “F them picks” philosophy by adding developmental prospects with the team’s eight draft picks. Logan Bruss is an aggressive Wisconsin guard with potential to play multiple positions. South Carolina State cornerback Decobie Durant, who was taken with the 142nd pick, is an undersized, aggressive nickel cornerback. And Notre Dame tailback Kyren Williams (No. 164) was viewed as a top-5 tailback in this draft by analysts. — Miami Dolphins: B The Dolphins weren’t on the clock until the end of the third round because of the offseason trade that delivered Tyreek Hill,

one of the biggest playmakers in the NFL. And with pick No. 102 they selected Georgia linebacker Channing Tindall, an explosive athlete who has the potential to be a Day 1 contributor. The rest of the picks — Texas Tech receiver Erik Ezukanma (No. 125), California edge rusher Cameron Goode (No. 244) and Kansas State quarterback Skylar Thompson (No. 247) — were general manager Chris Grier sticking to his best-player-available philosophy. In time Ezukanma and Goode might become contributors, but they could also just be camp bodies a year or two from now. Leaving the draft without a backup center was a head-scratcher, and remains a position that needs to be addressed. — Minnesota Vikings: CThe Vikings agreed to move from 12 to 32 in a trade with the Lions, and still got the second-best safety in this draft in Lewis Cine. Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth (No. 42) has the talent to start. The rest of this class looks like the first phase of a rebuild. Not adding a young quarterback to be groomed was a mistake, and so was not addressing tight end earlier than the seventh round. -- New England: D History has proven that the Patriots don’t value early draft picks, and don’t use them effectively either. That’s why the selection of Chattanooga offensive guard Cole Strange in the first round was laughed at by most draft analysts. Adding Baylor speedster Tyquan Thornton with the 50th pick, and the two cornerbacks selected — Houston’s Marcus Jones and Arizona State’s Jack Jones — are the highlights of New England’s draft class. — New Orleans Saints: B Moving up to the 11th overall pick to take Ohio State receiver Chris Olave was a wise decision, and could be the best move of the draft considering the early run on receivers that took place in the first round. Northern Iowa offensive tackle Trevor Penning was one of my favorite linemen in this draft, but he’ll need some time to settle in. — New York Giants: C+ The Giants drafted like rebuilding franchises should, touching just about every area of that team but tailback and quarterback. Oregon pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux (No. 3) and Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal (No. 7) should be Day 1 starters. However, outside of the Giants first-round picks, every one of their selections were taken a round or two earlier than projected by draft analysts. — New York Jets: A+ The Jets exited the draft with five potential starters in cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, receiver Garrett Wilson, pass rusher Jermaine Johnson II, tailback Breece Hall and tight end Jeremy Ruckert. The Jets have had hauls like this before — think 2020 when they selected Louisville offensive tackle Mekhi Becton, Baylor receiver Denzel Mims, California safety Ashtyn Davis, Florida pass rusher Jabari Zuniga, and Charlotte guard Cameron Clarke. So just because it’s impressive on paper doesn’t mean the end result will produce a winning team. — Philadelphia Eagles: B+ The Eagles put together a meat and potato draft, adding Jordan Davis with the 13th pick, center Cam Jurgens with pick No. 51, and then doubling down on linebacker by selecting Georgia’s Nakobe Dean and

Kansas’ Kyron Johnson. This draft class isn’t sexy, but the trade that allowed Philadelphia to land former Titans Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown could be a transformative transaction. — Pittsburgh Steelers: B Rather than moving up in the draft to make Kenny Pickett the selection, the Steelers stayed at 20 and got their potential quarterback of the future. Then the Steelers added two other players with first-round talent in Georgia receiver George Pickens and Texas A&M defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal. The Steelers are a draft and develop organization, so don’t be surprised if the rest of the class eventually develops into starters. — San Francisco 49ers: B The 49ers held onto receiver Deebo Samuel, but still have work to do to prevent a hold-in (when a player shows up to avoid being fined, but says they’re injured and won’t practice) over a new contract. San Francisco also didn’t move Jimmy Garoppolo during the draft, but added a quarterback (Iowa State’s Brock Purdy) with the final pick in the draft, so it’s not out of the question that Garoppolo can still be moved. The nine players selected will all likely begin their NFL careers as role players, being groomed slowly. — Seattle Seahawks: C The Seahawks are in a massive rebuild, and the draft restocked the shelves of talent to be developed. Offensive tackles Charles Cross (No. 9) and Abraham Lucas (No. 72) could be rookie starters. Not addressing the quarterback position is a little bit of a head-scratcher. Coach Pete Carroll must have a higher opinion of Drew Lock, Geno Smith and Jacob Eason than the rest of us. — Tampa Bay Buccaneers: B The Buccaneers traded out of the first round and took Houston defensive lineman Logan Hall with the 33rd overall pick. Hall has some good tape as a multi-gap defender. The sleeper pick is Sam Houston State cornerback Zyon McCollum (No. 157), a player with a ton of athletic potential who might work his way into that starting secondary in a year or two. — Tennessee Titans: B The Titans traded A.J. Brown to the Eagles during the first round, and then used the pick they acquired to move him to add a replica of the Pro Bowl receiver in Treylon Burks with the 18th pick. We’ll learn in the next three years if they made the right call on the receiver swap. Adding Liberty quarterback Malik Willis in the third round (No. 86) was a good move because he has the tools to beat out Ryan Tannehill once he learns the offense and adjusts to the speed of the NFL game. — Washington Commanders: CTrading draft picks for quarterback Carson Wentz could turn out to be a massive mistake, and so could over-drafting Penn State receiver Jahan Dotson, who was taken 16th overall. There were better players on the board than what Washington got with its second- (Alabama DT Philarian Mathis) and third-round (Alabama tailback Brian Robinson) pick. But selecting North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell could save this draft class, especially if Washington’s patient with him and he gives him time to learn the NFL game.

Man’s true colors shock his longtime girlfriend Dear Abby, I am a 58-year-old, never-married woman with a 22-year blue-collar career. I own a home and will retire with benefits many people dream of. I’ve recently ended a relationship with a man I’ve known DEAR ABBY since childhood. I truly love him. The problem is that he had been stealing from me. I confronted him several times, but finally had to involve the police. Now, he has flattened my tires and repeatedly dented my cars. My question is this: Is there more than one right person for everyone? How long will it take me to recover from a broken heart, if ever? His vandalism and my huge financial loss keep me away from this whack job. How well do you really know anyone? Disillusioned In Washington

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Inform the police that your ex-boyfriend is continuing to retaliate because you reported him. There is no timetable for healing from a broken heart, but take it from me, it DOES happen. I firmly believe there is more than one “right person” for everyone. You do not truly love HIM. What you love is the fantasy that he’s the only right person for you. We get to know the significant people in our lives — both male and female — by observing them over a long period of time and watching how they treat others. You should not keep your distance from this man only because of his vandalism and the money he has cost you, but also because he has anger problems he seems unable to control. Surely those character flaws showed themselves before he started acting out on you. Think back on the little things you may have

chosen to ignore. Dear Abby, My wife and I married as teenagers 40 years ago. Our children are adults, and most people consider us a perfect couple. My wife has had several affairs over the years, some she has admitted to and others I have stumbled across. For the most part, they have been physical only, with no emotional attachment. Twenty years ago she had a passionate affair with a younger man. It ended when he broke it off to be with someone else. I didn’t know about it at the time. A year ago, she found out he’s single again and invited him back into her life. Now, she’s openly seeing him. She’s telling me they are “just friends” and she “needs his company because only he understands her.” I believe if he had a better job and financial outlook, she would leave me in a minute. I can’t stand the thought of losing the love of my life, but I also can’t keep living with her knowing I play second fiddle in her heart. She refuses counseling because she doesn’t see this as a problem. Should I give her more time (a year already) or file for divorce? Confused In Illinois You have given your wife enough time to come to her senses. You state that she refuses counseling and you believe she would leave you in a minute if he made more money. That means she is staying with you only because of the lifestyle you provide. I do think there should be some counseling — for YOU. It will provide insight and emotional support as you contemplate divorce.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you are a born plotter, a natural schemer and one to befriend, steer clear of or interact with in a cautious and respectful manner — for you are also quite inconsistent in your responses to the world at large, and one may never know just how you will react to this, that, or the other thing as you plan the day ahead — or even much further into the future. While you seem to understand what makes other people tick, you don’t know as much about yourself because you don’t spend enough time looking in the mirror, figuratively speaking, to understand your true self very well — and this can be a serious weakness that can result in doing things for which you will have to pay dearly, eventually. Also born on this date are: Dule Hill, actor; Bing Crosby, actor and singer; Frankie Valli, singer; Pete Seeger, singer and songwriter; Sugar Ray Robinson, boxer; Christina Hendricks, 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, MAY 4 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Remember that good manners are for other people — and today they can prove more important than usual as you court a new social circle.

in your planning today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’re eager to know what the “experts” have to say about a certain situation today, but you needn’t base all your decisions on what you hear. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Someone has done something that you’ve long wanted to try, and today may be the day for you to overcome hidden fears and get it done. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You and a friend can keep each other safe today while working together toward a very important joint personal goal. The pace may quicken, too. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Others make you feel much more capable today, as positive comments come to you about what you have been doing — and how you’ve been doing it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You’ve reached a kind of turning point today, and you must be willing to take things in a new direction if the right signs are revealed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Certain indicators may be telling you that things have not evolved in the way you had expected — but this can be a positive development. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Take care that you’re not ignoring any of the signs that have appeared recently, as they are sure to prove most informative to you right now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You have questions, but you’re not sure you know where to go for the answers. This is one situation in which you may want to follow the crowd. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may be required to change course very quickly today, and this can be done without a major disruption. Focus on what you know best.
