Sheriff’s office body cameras clear hurdle

Man charged, guns seized

By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Every deputy in the Greene County Sheriff’s Office could soon be outfitted with body cameras after the Greene County Legislature’s Public Safety Committee on Wednesday approved $250,000 in funding for the equipment during its meeting on Wednesday night. The measure will head to the full Legislature for a vote. The Greene County Police Reform and Reinvention Collaboration that was formed in 2020 recommended in March 2021 that the sheriff’s office adopt body cameras for its entire force. After initially declining to fund the cameras, the Legislature is moving to adopt a measure that would purchase 60 for the agency. “It started two years ago when we had the police reform committee,” Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said following Wednesday’s meeting. “It was a recommendation that came out of the police reform committee and then during the next year’s budget cycle, the board turned down the request to go to body cams. Now (Sheriff) Pete Kusminsky has brought it back up because there’s a general assumption that any accredited agency will pretty much be mandated to have them now. So that’s pretty much being forced.” The resolution, which was adopted unanimously by the Public Safety Committee, notes that the Greene County Sheriff’s Office believes the purchase of the cameras would represent a positive step toward modern See CAMERAS A2

SAUGERTIES — Following an investigation into a reported assault that occurred in April, an Ulster County man was arrested and charged Tuesday, Saugerties Police Chief Joseph Sinagra said Thursday. Several guns were seized by police, after they took Adam J. Derivera, 27, of Saugerties into custody, Sinagra said. On April 29, Saugerties police responded to a residence on Fred Short Road after receiving a 911 call there was a domestic dispute taking place. When officers arrived, they interviewed the victim, who was bleeding from a head wound she sustained when she attempted to break up an argument between Derivera and his girlfriend, Sinagra said. The victim told officers that when she attempted to break See GUNS A2

Law setting fees for solar developers passed By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — A local law that sets a specific fee rate for developers hoping to build solar projects in Greene County was adopted by the Legislature in a special meeting Wednesday. The local law was adopted unanimously Wednesday after the board closed a public hearing on the proposed law. The approved local law is designed to promote the installation of solar fields in the county through paymentin-lieu-taxes, or PILOT, programs. Under the law, for solar projects with a capacity greater than 50 kilowatts, the annual payment under each PILOT agreement will be set at $8,750 per megawatt of capacity. The law dictates that the annual

payment will escalate 2% each year and if an annual payment is not made to the county when it’s due, the county may cancel the PILOT agreement and the solar project would be subject to taxation at its full assessed value. The law, which was crafted by Greene County Director of Real Property Tax Services Ray Ward and Greene County Attorney Edward Kaplan, will allow the county to avoid PILOT fee negotiations with solar developers that would see the county receive a percentage of the revenue generated by the energy created by each facility. “The state used to give recommendations and they used to tell you somewhere between 3% and 3 1/2% is where your PILOT should fall,” See SOLAR A2

policing and will increase trust and transparency within the community. “We should do it anyway because I’m a believer in it,” Groden said. “I think more often than not it exonerates an officer versus not. Particularly with the car cameras, because we’ll have one that actually shoots to the back seat. So if you try to bang your head against the back window and they say, ‘Hey, I got beat up.’ It’s going to be filmed.” As part of the proposal, the county would purchase 60 body cameras at a cost of $29,940 and 27 police car camera kits at a cost of $106,650. The price of installation quoted to the county by Pro-Vision Video Systems in Michigan is $25,299 for 38 police vehicles. The entire cost of the project is $286,456, with the sheriff’s office hoping to receive a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice that could reimburse up to $44,000 of the purchase price of the equipment. “We had the police review committee last year, which we were mandated to do by Gov. Cuomo,” Greene County Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger, R-New Baltimore, said

following Wednesday’s meeting. “One of the suggestions was to equip all of our officers with body cams. So you’re looking at a quarter of a million dollars and then you’ve got to have the software and the storage maintained throughout the life of the camera. So it’s an expensive proposition. That was one of the suggestions from the police review committee and it makes a lot of sense. It’s beneficial to residents and to the officers. So that was one of the things we looked into doing and we put it into the budget.” The money for the camera equipment will come from the county’s fund balance, Groden said. Processing the footage from the body and car cameras will result in added expense and manpower for the county. “The other complication with that is that it becomes evidence,” Groden said. “At the end of an officer’s shift, that has to be downloaded and somebody has to come in and slice and dice it. If you get arrested it has to go to the district attorney and the public defender and under discovery rules it has to go to the defense attorneys. So it’s more than just the camera, the back of the house will be really big. I’ll have to hire a person for this. Because you have all of those officers working 12-hour

shifts 365 days per year and all of those downloads have to be stored properly. So it’s bigger than just that dollar amount that we have, it’s probably twice that number.” The police reform committee consisted of members of the sheriff’s office as well as community leaders including the

Rev. Richard Turpin of the Second Baptist Church in Catskill and Catskill Central School District Superintendent Ronel Cook. The Greene County Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative Policing Reform Plan was adopted March 17, 2021, by the Greene County Legislature.

Derivera was charged with third-degree assault, a class A

misdemeanor, Sinagra said. Derivera was processed at

Saugerties police headquarters and was then arraigned in Town of Saugerties Justice Court. The judge issued an order of protection on behalf of the victim and Derivera was further ordered to surrender any firearms he owned. Police seized a handgun and two rifles that were surrendered by Derivera at his residence, Sinagra said. According to New York Penal Law, a person is guilty of third-degree assault when they recklessly cause physical injury to another person. If convicted of this charge, the maximum penalty is up to one year in jail.

county that they’re going to put in a system and then we tell them whether we’re going to require a PILOT or not. We do and what happens is the assessed values have been undervalued or what’ll happen is there winds up being very little negotiations on these PILOTs.” The law sets a uniform fee that will be paid each year on January 1 for any developer interested in establishing a solar energy system in the county. “It becomes a fighting match between the municipalities and the solar companies trying to figure out where these solar PILOTs should be,” Linger said. “What our law does is put a specific number

on the books and there’s no negotiating. Everybody knows what it’s going to be. So when you come to the table here in Greene County, you’re going to know what that figure is going to be per megawatt for what you’re producing. So it kind of puts it all on the table and makes it fair for everybody. It’s the same number for everybody. One solar installer can’t say that they got a different number than somebody else. Everybody’s going to get the same thing.” During the public hearing, Greene County Legislator Michael Bulich asked Ward about the logistics of inspecting the solar projects that enter into PILOT agreements.

“Who is going to oversee the inspection of these solar fields to see if they are upgrading or the changes they may be doing over this 15-year time period?” Bulich asked. Ward replied that in the law, municipalities will have the right of review in the eighth and 15th years of the lifespan of each solar project. “They can basically request their production levels and finance that they see from that construction,” he explained. No members of the public voiced their opinions in support or in opposition to the local law during the public hearing and the law was subsequently passed.

up the argument, Derivera pushed her and knocked her to the ground, resulting in the victim striking her head on a wooden support post, Sinagra said. Paramedics from Diaz Ambulance were requested by police to the scene, but the woman declined medical attention. Derivera had fled the scene prior to the arrival of officers, Sinagra said. On Tuesday, at about 7:18 p.m., officers found and arrested Derivera.

Greene County Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger said after Wednesday’s meeting. “So that’s where everybody started their negotiations all of the time. NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) has now taken that off the table. It’s not in their paperwork anymore and it’s not in any of their documents anymore. So what’s been happening around the state is that when companies apply for these PILOTS, they are required to inform the

NYPD cops shoot, wound man with machete threatening driver over Brooklyn parking spot, officer cut in hand Elizabeth Keogh, Rocco Parascandola and Thomas Tracy New York Daily News

NEW YORK — NYPD cops shot and wounded a machetewielding man threatening a motorist over a parking spot in Coney Island, police said. An officer suffered a deep cut to his thumb during the fierce exchange Thursday, which involved the suspect chasing the officer around a car outside the DMV on West Eighth Street near Sheepshead Bay Road in Coney Island, police sources said. Three officers were near the DMV, which is down the block from the 60th Precinct stationhouse, when they saw the

suspect argue with a motorist over a parking spot the suspect felt he had dibs on. When the suspect pulled a large knife -- which one police source described as a machete -- the officers pulled their weapons and demanded he drop the blade, police sources said. The suspect was chasing one cop around the offending car parked in the space, slicing him in the hand with the machete, when one of the officers fired off four rounds, hitting the blade bearer in the leg, police sources said. Another shot went through the window of a nearby parked car, officials said. It was not

this total, $4,000 is from inkind credit such as volunteers to the projects and their time. CGL Arbor Services will be paid $12,000 directly. The best time to assess the inventory needs is at the end of May or early June. The tree management plan will provide information to the public about what trees are native to the area, which species thrive, the ultimate height, and distance required for planting, Village Trustee Dr. Joshua Lipsman said. The Village of Athens will submit a reimbursement invoice once to work is completed. “This will make us competitive to apply for state funds in the fall to plant many more trees and put in place a program to take care of our trees over the coming year,” Lipsman said.

OUR VIEW

Delgado puts new spin on campaign Should he stay or should he go? That’s the question we asked when Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed Rep. Antonio Delgado to be New York state’s next lieutenant governor. It’s a tough call. The Rhinebeck congressman established a bedrock record in the House of Representatives without the scene-stealing self-indulgence of Rep. Elise Stefanik. We will miss that. On the other hand, this is an election year for Hochul, who has suffered the embarrassment of the resignation of Rep. Brian Benjamin over ethics charges. This could be a way for Hochul to balance the books politically and save face in the process. In 2021, Delgado was recognized as Congress’s fourth most bipartisan member and

the most bipartisan Democratic member, according to the Common Ground Committee, whose mission is to end polarized thinking and governance among elected officials, stop government gridlock and inaction and turn government in the direction of progress. Common Ground issues an annual “scorecard” to “assess the degree to which elected officials and candidates for office seek points of agreement on social and political issues through listening and productive conversation.” Delgado’s listening and conversational skills have been much in evidence during his 65 town halls held in all parts of the 19th District over the last four years. His charismatic personality, selfeffacing style and abiding

interest in what voters think and say make him an ideal match for Hochul. A look at his voting record clearly illustrates that he genuinely wants to help the people who sent him to the nation’s capital in 2018. He is as comfortable on the small farms of Greene and Columbia counties as he is on Broadway or the Beltway. He will complement a Hochul-Delgado ticket during the campaign. At 45, he has the ability to pull in what in the 1970s was known as the “youth vote” and his AfroHispanic ethnicity can win Hochul support she needs from New York City voters. If Hochul can win with Delgado on the ticket, all we can say now is that Washington’s loss will be New York State’s gain.

Alito’s argument is less a refutation of Roe than a starting over WASHINGTON — The person, whose name might soon be known and should be forever odious, who leaked the draft Supreme Court opinion is an appropriate symbol of 49 years of willfulness that began with Roe v. Wade in 1973. The leaker accomplished nothing but another addition to the nation’s sense of fraying and another subtraction from the norms that preserve institutional functioning and dignity. The leaker — probably full of passionate intensity, as the worst usually are — will leave a lingering stench in the building where he or she betrayed the trust of those who gave him or her access to Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.’s draft opinion overturning Roe. The leaker probably got into a position to commit this infamous betrayal by swearing never to do such a thing. If justice is done, this person will never again practice law but will experience the law’s rigors. The leaker might have truncated, temporarily, the court’s deliberative process, much as the Jan. 6 mob temporarily truncated a constitutional process in the Capitol. Some of those who have eloquently denounced the previous president’s institutional vandalism will applaud Monday’s vandalism committed across the street from the Capitol. Situational ethics are always in season. Conservatives have backed enough lost causes to know one when they see one. Nevertheless, they should encourage Roe’s supporters to engage with Alito’s arguments, which include: That Roe, which effectively overturned all 50 states’ abortion laws, curtailed debates and negotiations about abortion and embittered politics by halting the accommodations that had liberalized abortion laws in about one third of the states before 1973. That an abortion right is not deeply rooted in the nation’s

GEORGE F.

WILL history and traditions. That the court has long recognized that stare decisis — respect for precedent — is “not an inexorable command.” That some of the court’s finest actions have involved reversing precedents, and that absent these reversals this would be a less admirable country. Progressives take understandable pride in their long march through many institutions; their efforts have won them substantial power in the media, academia, corporations and popular culture. But the conservative legal movement, too, has made a slow, patient march. It has passed through law schools, courts, journalism and elections featuring promises about the future composition of state and federal judiciaries. The movement’s focus has been on overturning Roe. This is so even among conservatives who favor permissive abortion policies but who believe that Roe epitomizes results-oriented judicial fiats untethered from the Constitution’s text, structure and history. If the nation has reached a turning-away from Roe, it is because the conservative legal movement has done the “strong and slow boring of hard boards” (Max Weber’s description of the political vocation). And because Roe provided advocates of abortion rights incantations of “privacy,” not a sturdy scaffolding of reasoning. The wickedness of the leaker of Alito’s draft is not diminished

by the fact that the leak’s consequences are unknown. It might affect negotiations that perhaps have been ongoing among the justices. It might even have affected — might even still affect — what the court says about the Mississippi law proscribing almost all abortions after 15 weeks’ gestation. Hysteria is the default mode of many Americans of all persuasions who engage in civic arguments. So, by late June, when the court would normally be expected to issue a momentous opinion, such people will have worked themselves into an apocalyptic frenzy. If the court overturns the postulated constitutional requirement for America’s almost uniquely radical abortion regime, there will still be a frenzy, but two months of emotions will have been vented. Intelligent people of goodwill disagree vehemently about the morality of abortion; defenders of Roe’s reasoning are, however, vanishingly rare. Constitutional reasoning was almost absent from Roe, which makes Alito’s draft opinion less a refutation of Roe than a starting over regarding the core question: What may the community properly do regarding protection of human life between conception and birth? Soon, 7,383 state legislators might be relevant, perhaps uncomfortably so, to this great question that until 1973 was the business of state legislatures. Suppose the court says that Mississippi’s law is not unconstitutional because the court was mistaken in declaring a constitutional right to abortion. Then 50 state legislatures will reacquire the traditional right to set policy regarding the legal status of prenatal life. If so, this culturally diverse country will produce various policies. And some “diversity” enthusiasts will suddenly be less so. George Will’s email address is georgewill@washpost.com.

Congress must stand up for women before Roe falls Michael R. Bloomberg Bloomberg

At long last, the jig is up. The Republican judicial nominees who tap-danced their way onto the Supreme Court appear set to end their flimflamming and take a bow for an act of epic deception: pretending they really, truly, honestly would respect the long-established precedent set in Roe v. Wade. If the draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito stands in its sum and substance, the court would turn the clock back on women’s rights by two generations, vacating a constitutional protection that has allowed millions of women to make decisions, within certain limits, about whether to carry a pregnancy to term. The decision will also shred whatever was left of the court’s reputation for nonpartisan stewardship of the law. That so much of the draft opinion is a critique of Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) puts

SEND LETTERS:

the lie to the earnest, assuring claims the conservative justices made during their confirmation hearings about their respect for precedent. It’s abundantly clear that the opinion derived from their long-held views, not the particulars of the case before them. Barring a reversal, the court will hand the matter of women’s rights over to the states, just as abortion opponents have always wanted - and just as opponents of abolition, integration, and interracial and same-sex marriage had all urged in their day. That comparison will undoubtedly anger abortion opponents. But fundamental freedoms - whether on race or gender - should never be allowed to be ameliorated by state legislatures and local plebiscites. Freedom for women is not merely equality under the law with men. It is the autonomy and authority to be in control about when and whether to have a child. President Joe Biden has

urged Congress to pass legislation that would codify abortion rights into federal law. The House has already done so, and while the Senate lacks 50 votes for that particular bill, it contains a pro-choice majority. Those senators will now have to decide which is more important: a fundamental women’s right, or preserving the filibuster, which requires 60 members to move from debating a bill to voting on it. As the issue moves from the court to Congress, voters will now know exactly who to hold accountable if abortion ceases to be a right for all American women, and they will have opportunities to do so in the years ahead. The ballot, not the bench, is the ultimate arbiter of freedom. Michael R.

New York State Office for New Americans and CanCode Communities announce summer 2022 schedule for Digital Literacy Training ALBANY — The New York State Office for New Americans (ONA) and CanCode Communities today announced the opening of registration for the Summer 2022 session of Digital Literacy Training. Known as New Americans Can Code, the program provides digital literacy training to assist newcomers to New York State in gaining basic computer skills and software training for career opportunities to New York’s immigrant communities. New York State Secretary of State Robert J. Rodriguez said, “In a rapidly evolving digital era, having computer training is a necessary skill to be better positioned to succeed in today’s job market. The ONA and CanCode Communities partnership offers new Americans the opportunity to learn new skills and have necessary tools to be prepared for an economic environment based on computer literacy and be ready for enhanced career opportunities and to better contribute to New York’s future.” The New Americans Can Code Digital Literacy course is available to all immigrants living in New York, regardless of status, who meet income eligibility requirements. It is designed to serve students with a wide range of computer experiences and competencies, and will ensure each student receives the skills they need while moving at their own pace. The course will cover basic computer usage skills; a survey of software usage, including word processing and spreadsheet use; use and management of email; and using the web to conduct productive internet searches to find reliable information and learning tools. CanCode Communities Founder and CEO Annmarie Lanesey said, “We are thrilled to extend this exceptional partnership with the New York State Office for New Americans, and to assist in preparing immigrants to succeed in today’s digital economy. This computer education and training will ensure more New Yorkers gain the knowledge and skills to pursue fast-growing tech careers, while also building a diverse and inclusive talent pipeline critical for the state’s employers.” Senator Chuck Schumer said, “Thanks to the federal funding I secured in the CARES Act, New Yorkers and new Americans can now get access to the tools and digitals skills needed for good paying careers in the tech industry. Education is one of the best ways to create economic

opportunity and I am proud to help create this program to supercharge our workforce training and boost our immigrant community to help them achieve the American dream.” Senator Kristen Gillibrand said “In an increasingly digital world, we have to make sure that everyone is equipped with basic computer skills,”. “By providing digital literacy and advanced computer training, this program will help ensure that new New Yorkers have the necessary skills to use email, navigate internet job boards, and pay bills online.

Stakeholders come together to create a plan for the Taghkanic Headwaters CHATHAM — Do you have a vision for protecting the land you love? More than a dozen dedicated volunteers from Claverack, Copake, Hillsdale and Taghkanic do. The Taghkanic Headwaters and the lands that surround it support clean water for people, plants, and animals, and provide vital wildlife habitat connections between New York and New England. We envision a future Taghkanic watershed that is cared for by local communities and landowners to protect clean water and the ability of fish and wildlife to move across the landscape. Stakeholders defined this vision while serving on a steering committee coordinated by the Columbia Land Conservancy to create a Conservation Plan for the Upper Taghkanic Creek. The

Plan focuses on keeping forests “connected” — meaning that large natural areas are free of barriers like roads and development. To develop the vision and the plan, stakeholders reviewed scientific data, pored over maps, and discussed their values. “Forests are essential for protecting our water,” says Cara Boyle, stakeholder and CLC Trustee. “This Connectivity Plan will help us to plan for a future where Columbia County is a place where drinking water is clean and plentiful and our beautiful forested landscapes are intact.” Protecting these lands is critical - with the disruptions of climate change already being felt, now is a good time to plan for the future of our forests and water. The Upper Taghkanic Creek, the streams that flow into

it, and the surrounding lands provide clean drinking water for Taghkanic, Hillsdale, Copake, and the City of Hudson. The plan will assist residents, landowners and local decision makers in their efforts to prioritize and protect natural areas. Large blocks of forest are critical for the movement of wildlife. Visit taghkanicheadwaters.org for more information about the project, or to read the complete plan. This project was funded in part by a grant from the New York State Environmental Protection Fund, NYS DEC Hudson River Estuary Program. CLC thanks Ingrid Haeckel and Nate Nardi-Cyrus at the Hudson River Estuary Program for their participation and thoughtful guidance throughout the project.

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.

Albany Institute of History & Art names Kristen Oehlrich as new executive director ALBANY — The Albany Institute of History & Art announces that Kristen Oehlrich, MBA, Ph.D. has been named by the museum’s Board of Trustees as its new Executive Director. The Buffalo, New York native was most recently the Founder and President of Triumph of Flora, Strategic Art Advising in New York City. Her appointment comes at a pivotal time in the Institute’s history, as it confidently emerges from the pandemic with dynamic exhibitions, engaging programs, and collaborative initiatives. Prior to her role at Triumph of Flora, Strategic Art Advising, Dr. Oehlrich served as Interim Assistant Director in the Research & Academic Program at The Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Before that, she was a PostDoctoral Teaching and Research Fellow in the Graduate Art History Program at Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts. She has over a decade of experience in leadership roles in non-profit institutions. Oehlrich holds a Ph.D. in the History of Art and Architecture and an executive MBA, both from Brown University. Additionally, she holds a Masters of Art History and Criticism from Stony Brook University and a Bachelor of Arts, Art History, from the State University of New York College at Fredonia. Dr. Oehlrich will replace Tammis Groft, who has served as Executive Director since 2013, ending a most remarkable 45-year career with the Institute which began in 1976 as an Intern. “The Board is delighted to have Dr. Oehlrich lead the Albany Institute of History & Art,” said Michael Tucker, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees and President of Tucker Strategies. “We are grateful to our search

Dr. Kristen Oehlrich

committee for their ability to attract remarkable candidates for this position. In the end, we all felt compelled by Dr. Oehlrich’s exceptional energy and leadership skills, which will enable her to be a strong and effective Executive Director. We could not be happier about this appointment.” “The Institute was interested in a leader who had both entrepreneurial and academic experience combined with a deep appreciation for art, history, and the culture of the Upper Hudson Valley. We also wanted a leader with a proven record of engaging diverse audiences, and the ability to embrace and advance the important work of our mission. Our thirteen-member search committee believed unanimously that Dr. Oehlrich fits that profile perfectly,” stated John G. Walsh III,

Trustee and Chair of the Search Committee. “I am humbled to take a leadership role with an organization that has such a rich history and bright future,” said Oehlrich. “The Institute’s mission to connect diverse audiences to the art and culture of our region dovetails with my own commitment to develop programming and exhibitions that educate, inspire, and entertain. I look forward to building on the solid foundation developed by Tammis Groft and extending the Institute’s legacy while strengthening connections within the Institute and with the public. I also look forward to working with the talented staff and Board of Trustees to deepen the Institute’s impact on the region and around the world.” George R. Hearst III, Chairman Emeritus added, “The Albany Institute of History & Art is truly a special place. Our exhibitions tell a rich story, inspire new ways of thinking, and stimulate creativity for the visitors that join us in-person and from around the world with our online collections. Dr. Oehlrich will be an excellent steward and we enthusiastically welcome her to the Institute family.” Dr. Oehlrich formally begins on June 1 of this year.

A lot of White House guests are testing positive after annual dinner Paul Farhi The Washington Post

WASHINGTON - The Washington news media’s big annual dinner last Saturday appears to be connected to an outbreak of positive coronavirus tests, validating concerns that guests at the event attended by President Joe Biden might spread the virus. Reports of positive cases for those who were at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner or its many related pre- and post-parties have appeared on social media since Tuesday morning. Among those testing positive: ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl, ABC News president Kim Godwin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The State Department said Blinken, who is vaccinated, is experiencing mild symptoms and quarantining at home. Karl sat next to reality-show starlet Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend, “Saturday Night Live” cast member Pete Davidson, during the dinner. He also shook hands with Biden, who limited his time in the subterranean ballroom to about an

hour. Karl declined comment. Employees of CNN, NBC News, CBS News, Politico, Voice of America, Puck News and The Washington Post also tested positive, according to social-media posts, texts, emails and news accounts. Among the journalists who’ve publicly acknowledged a positive test is Jada Yuan, who covered the dinner for The Post. The White House Correspondents’ Association, which organized the annual dinner at the Washington Hilton, doesn’t keep a roster of guests and has no official tally of the number of positive tests. The association sells tables to news organizations, which then distribute invitations to employees, their spouses, advertisers and others. WHCA president Steven Portnoy said the group required guests to submit a negative coronavirus test and their vaccination records. In addition, anyone who was likely to come in contact with the president, such as Karl, took a “medically proctored” test beforehand.

Abortion pills: A post-Roe gamechanger — and the next battleground Jennifer Haberkorn Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — The future of abortion in the U.S. is moving to the mailbox. Medication abortion, in which a woman takes two drugs to terminate an early pregnancy at home, became the most commonly used method in the U.S. during the pandemic, particularly after the FDA stopped requiring the prescription be dispensed at a health care facility rather than delivered directly to a user. International online pharmacies ship them without a prescription at all. As the Supreme Court prepares to give states the power to ban abortion, medication abortion could be a game changer — the last option for women in conservative states who are unable to travel elsewhere to end their pregnancy. “We see medication abortion as being a potentially transformative and disruptive technology in the face of these unjust laws that are being passed,” said Elisa Wells, co-founder and co-director of Plan C, a website that provides information on finding and using the medication. “It is a bit of a safety net, potentially.” Medication can be shipped discretely, in some cases evading detection from those who hope to ban its use. It is so hard to track that statistics on the number of so-called self-managed medication abortions — those conducted without a prescription or a doctor’s guidance — are not well known. “It will be very different from the pre-Roe era when abortion was illegal in that it’s harder to restrict pills,” said Dr. Daniel Grossman, an abortion provider and director of Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health at UC San Francisco. “It’s easier to potentially access them through various channels. And the pills are very safe and effective, unlike other methods of unsafe abortion or methods that people might have used on their own in the 1960s.” But just as abortion rights supporters look to shore up access to medication abortion, anti-abortion groups are focusing on enacting additional state restrictions on pills, making medication the next battleground in the decades-long cultural standoff over abortion. “It’s one of our biggest priorities and it’s certainly something that a lot of states are thinking about much more than they were three years ago,” said Katie Glenn, government affairs counsel at Americans United for Life, a law firm that opposes abortion and advises states on legislation. “We saw a huge uptick in the pill use during COVID.” The process of a medication abortion consists of two drugs taken in succession. Mifepristone is taken first to block the effects of progesterone, a hormone needed to sustain a pregnancy. The second medication, misoprostol, is taken one to two days later to generate the cramping and bleeding that mimics an early miscarriage. A 2015 study showed that at nine weeks of pregnancy or less, medication abortion was successful 99.6% of the time. Even so, medication abortion “is not a solution to the problem” of a Supreme Court ruling that undermines abortion rights, Grossman said. Obstacles include the drug’s costs, shipping delays, potential legal risks and pregnancies that fall outside of the recommended 10-week window for using pills. A medication abortion also takes longer than an in-office procedure and sometimes patients worry they used them incorrectly. But in states that plan to limit or ban abortion — more than two dozen in the South and portions of the Mountain West have already done so or plan to — medication abortion is likely to be one of the

few remaining options. PlanCPills.org runs through the practical options for residents of every state, though in some cases, shipping drugs or taking them may violate local laws. For instance, a patient in Texas — where abortion is banned after fetal cardiac activity is detected, or about 6 weeks of pregnancy — could drive across the border into New Mexico and conduct a telehealth appointment with a doctor there. The pills can be shipped to a friend in New Mexico or a temporary mailbox the patient has set up in the state and forwarded to Texas. Or a patient could stay in Texas and directly buy the drugs from an online pharmacy at a cost of $200 to $500. Established as President Donald Trump took office on a vow to only appoint antiabortionjustices, Plan C was inspired by watching how accessible abortion pills were in other countries, such as Ethiopia, where pharmacies sold them for $7 without a prescription, Wells said. In the U.S. at the time, the medication could cost several hundred dollars and required an in-person visit with a doctor and a prescription. Once the FDA dropped the in-person requirement at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, medication abortions overtook in-clinic procedures as the most common method of abortion in the United States, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights. The impending Supreme Court decision and move by states to curtail abortion access only fueled more interest in the medication. Before the enactment of the Texas 6-week abortion ban, Wells’ site got about 500 visitors per day. After enactment, that figure shot up to 25,000 and has since settled at about 2,000, she said. At Aid Access, perhaps the best-known medication abortion site, U.S. users are put in touch with a European health care provider and can get a prescription filled at a pharmacy in India. It costs $110 and delivery

takes up to four weeks. Conservative states are already moving to restrict the ease with which abortion pills can be dispensed. South Dakota required four trips to a clinic to get a medication abortion, but the rule was blocked by the courts. A Texas law prohibits medication abortion after seven weeks of pregnancy, even though the FDA says 10. Nineteen states prohibit pills from being prescribed via telehealth appointments or delivered in the mail, and 32 states restrict which health care professionals can prescribe abortion pills, according to Guttmacher. Mailing abortion pills to a patient is banned in Arizona, Arkansas and Texas. Similar bans exist in Montana, Oklahoma and South Dakota, but were blocked by the courts. Just this year, more than a dozen states introduced bans or restrictions on medication abortion, including complete bans on medication abortion, a prohibition on mailing pills or a ban on using telehealth to provide it. Others are focusing on banning all self-managed abortions. The practice is illegal in Nevada, South Carolina and Oklahoma, but patients have been arrested in other states, too. Most recently, a Texas woman, Lizelle Herrera, was charged with murder because she self-managed an abortion. The charges were later dropped and a Texas district attorney made clear she didn’t violate any laws. Abortion opponents are encouraging states to turn their focus to banning early abortions, when medication is most often used. “Some states will only go as far as banning second and third trimester abortions, making those unavailable in their state. But the majority — 90% plus — abortions are happening in the first trimester,” Kristan Hawkins, president of the activist group Students for Life. “We really have to be making our case to the American people why these abortions are just as equally as gruesome as a

later term abortion.” Enforcing state laws on medication abortions will likely be more difficult, particularly when the process occurs online rather than at a clinic or doctor’s office. But abortion rights supporters nevertheless worry about the chilling effect the laws may have on women wishing to end a pregnancy, and on health care providers who may feel they have to report suspected abortion cases or face their own legal trouble. The EMAA Project, a group that advocates for medication abortion care, is having preliminary conversations with the Biden administration on what can be done to bolster access, according to the group’s director, Kirsten Moore. In addition to dropping the in-person dispensing requirement, the FDA has said it will certify pharmacies that want to dispense medication abortion, in line with the FDA’s strict rules that govern its use.

Immersive theater brings the Collaborative School of the Gilded Age to life May 13 at Arts announces nominees Cherry Hill in Albany for the 2022 High School Musical Theatre Awards

ALBANY — An immersive theatre experience will debut at Historic Cherry Hill at 6:30 p.m. May 13. Swept Clean, written by Dr. Krysta Dennis, tells the Gilded Age story of crisis and romance following the financial ruin of the Van Rensselaer descendants residing at Cherry Hill. Kitty, the protagonist, is coming of age during a time when New York’s old aristocratic families are losing ascendancy, supplanted by the New Millionaires and their incomparable industry-based fortunes. Kitty, who descended from one of Albany’s founding Dutch families, clings to history and tradition and

turns to romantic love as her only possible hope of redemption. She is being courted by the promising young lawyer, Edward Rankin, who just might hold the key to her future—and the future of her ancestral home, Cherry Hill. While the story line follows Kitty, the spotlight also shines on other members of the household—Hattie, Kitty’s cousin who is trapped in an abusive relationship; Minnie, an African American servant who was raised at Cherry Hill from the age of two; and Mary, Hattie’s maid who holds a secret that may be Hattie’s undoing. “Swept Clean” will bring

audiences into intimate encounter with the past through the authentic setting of Cherry Hill, a script drawn from the manuscript holdings of the museum, and costume design by Brittney Belz that includes an authentic reproduction from the museum collections. Swept Clean is directed by Janet Hurley Kimlicko and produced by NorthEast Theatre Ensemble. Tickets are $20. Performances will take place 6:30 p.m. May 13; 2 p.m. May 14 and May 15; 6:30 p.m. May 20 and May 21; 2 p.m. May 22; 6:30 p.m. May 27 and May 28; and 2 p.m. May 29.

DEC announces funding available to improve water quality and habitat, bolster flood resiliency in Hudson River Estuary watershed ALBANY — New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos announced approximately $130,000 in funding is now available to help communities in the Hudson River Estuary watershed improve water quality, increase flood resiliency, and conserve natural resources. The grants will help municipalities document constrictions that cause flooding at culverts and bridges and are barriers to fish movement in Hudson tributary streams. The grants are supported by the State’s Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) and administered by DEC’s Hudson River Estuary Program in partnership with New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC). “Through DEC’s ongoing partnership with NEIWPCC, we are advancing projects that will help Hudson River estuary watershed communities develop plans to improve infrastructure where roads cross streams to reduce flooding, restore stream habitat, and improve water quality,” Commissioner Seggos said. “Supported by the

State’s recently increased Environmental Protection Fund, New York is making record investments in these and other efforts that boost resiliency and protect New York’s water quality and natural resources.” Susan Sullivan, NEIWPCC Executive Director said, “In a year when NEIWPCC is celebrating the 50 years of the Clean Water Act and NEIWPCC’s 75th anniversary, we are pleased to partner with DEC to help communities improve water quality in tributary streams to the Hudson River Estuary. A healthy estuary requires a healthy watershed.” In the 2022-23 Enacted State Budget, Governor Hochul succeeded in increasing the EPF from $300 to $400 million, the highest-ever level of funding in the program’s history. The EPF supports climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts, improves agricultural resources to promote sustainable agriculture, protects our water sources, advances conservation efforts, and provides recreational opportunities for New Yorkers. The $130,000 in grant

funding announced today will support the development of regional municipal management plans and designs to improve inadequate road-stream crossings focused on priority sites for flood mitigation and/ or stream habitat for fish in multiple municipalities. In 2021, DEC in partnership with NEIWPCC awarded nearly $100,000 to T&B Engineering to develop municipal management plans for road-stream crossings and dams in the towns of Red Hook and Milan, Dutchess County. The plans include all crossings in both towns, building on the 148 previously inventoried culverts, including the road-stream crossings located within the portions of the watersheds of nine tributary creeks. The deadline for proposals is noon June 10. The “Restoration of Watershed Connectivity and Improved Road Infrastructure” Request For Proposals (RFP) with application requirements and instructions is available on NEIWPCC’s website. General information about the RFP can be found on the DEC website.

SCHENECTADY — The Collaborative School of the Arts announces the 6th annual High School Musical Theatre Awards in partnership with The Broadway League and presented by the Times Union at 7 p.m. May 14 at the MainStage at Proctors.

Winners are announced for each category interspersed with lively production numbers from the shows nominated for Best Musical and finalists for Best Actor and Best Actress. Additionally, students selected from each participating school perform in the opening and closing numbers. A full orchestra accompanies all these performances, with music direction and choreography by local theatre professionals. Winners of the Best Actor and Best Actress categories travel to New York City to participate in the Jimmy Awards, a national competition for high school performers.

In celebration of Arbor Day, DEC announces $2 million in DEC announces $750,000 in grants now available to bolster second round of ‘Regenerate food scraps recycling statewide NY’ forestry grants ALBANY — New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos commemorated Arbor Day by announcing $750,000 in funding now available for the second round of the State’s ‘Regenerate NY’ Forestry Cost Share Grant Program. The grant program is designed to assist private landowners in growing the next generation of forests, which are crucial for mitigating climate change, providing wildlife habitat, protecting air and water quality, and supplying an important renewable resource. A third of the total available funds ($250,000) is specifically earmarked for tree planting projects that will establish new forests or supplement the regeneration of existing ones. “Arbor Day is an inspiration for all New Yorkers to celebrate the importance of trees to our health, environment, and economy and to take actions collectively to preserve our forests for future generations,” said Commissioner Seggos. “While climate change, invasive species and white-tailed deer are threatening the health of our trees and forests, I’m proud of the work our expert foresters are doing to advance programs, like Regenerate NY that help forest landowners protect and sustainably manage our essential forest resources and the many benefits they provide. DEC encourages more New Yorkers to take advantage of these programs and help advance our forest conservation efforts across the state.” With nearly 75 percent of New York’s 18.7 million acres of forestland being privately owned, the grants help support landowners in growing healthy forests. Regenerate NY is funded by New York State’s Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) and managed by DEC’s Division of Lands and Forests. Private landowners who own between 10 and 1,000 acres of forest land in New York State may apply for grant awards ranging from a minimum of $10,000 to a maximum of $50,000, with a required 25 percent match. Eligible projects include, but are not limited to, planting trees, soil scarification, removing competing vegetation that would interfere with seedling establishment and growth, and installation of deer fence. Applicants must work with a private forester to develop their project. Up to two applications may be submitted per applicant, provided the applications are for separate properties. In the first year of the grant program in 2021, DEC awarded nearly $450,000 for 16 projects covering 503 practice acres. More than 12,000 tree

seedlings are being planted across New York State thanks to the funding provided by that round of grants. Through these plantings, private landowners are ensuring the next generation of forests and all the benefits they provide by fostering existing forestland regeneration and establishing new forested areas. The sizes of projects varied, with largest project covering 78 acres and the smallest involving half an acre. Contracts were executed to reforest a total of nearly 100 acres, restore 105 acres of forest stands, manage competing vegetation on 176 acres, and install deer fencing on 127 acres, among other projects. “Forests are one of our best tools in the fight against climate change,” said New York State Forester and Division of Lands and Forests Director Robert Davies. “Not only do trees absorb and store carbon as they grow, but products made from wood require significantly less energy to make than their carbon dioxideintense counterparts like aluminum and plastic, and solid wood products continue to store carbon well beyond a tree’s lifetime. New York’s private forests remove enough carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in one year to negate the emissions of two million gasoline-powered automobiles over the same time period, underscoring the importance of investing in the regeneration of forests.” “The New York Forest Owner’s Association applauds the Regenerate NY Forestry Cost Share Grant Program,” said the organization’s President, Stacey Kazacos. “Funding stewardship and regeneration efforts will help ensure our forests continue to support New York’s rural economy, protect our water and air quality, and sequester carbon for generations to come. We look forward to the long-term improvements this initiative will contribute to our communities throughout the state.” “In order to foster successful regeneration, forest landowners must actively manage and implement costly measures to ensure the next generation of forests, which in turn provide carbon sequestration benefits, as well as habitat and other ecosystem benefits for biodiversity,” said John Bartow, Empire State Forest Products Association. “Regenerate NY is a critical financial assistance package for New York forest owners to actively manage and steward forests for the future, and we applaud DEC, the State Legislature and Governor Hochul for the continued support for Regenerate NY in the Environmental Protection Fund.” Michelle Brown, The Nature Conservancy’s New York

Senior Conservation Scientist, said, “The Nature Conservancy is thrilled the State budget included record funding for the Environmental Protection Fund and dedicated funding to protect and expand New York’s forests through Regenerate NY. New York’s forests are a powerful tool in the fight against climate change as healthy trees and soil absorb and store carbon. Forests also provide clean air and water and wildlife habitat. State conservation funding is critical to protecting our natural resources and addressing climate change. The Nature Conservancy commends and thanks Governor Hochul and the State Legislature for including historic conservation investments in this year’s budget.” Among the many environmental victories in the enacted 2022-23 State Budget, Governor Kathy Hochul and legislative leaders increased the New York’s Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) to $400 million, the highest-ever level of funding in the program’s history. The EPF supports climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts including Regenerate NY, improves agricultural resources to promote sustainable agriculture, protects water sources, advances conservation efforts, and provides recreational opportunities for New Yorkers. Applications may be submitted through the New York State Grants Gateway and will be accepted until 3 p.m. on Oct. 7, 2022, or until funds are depleted, whichever comes first. Grants will be awarded on a rolling basis. Applicants need to establish an account in the Grants Gateway System. Once registered, applicants can search the Grants Gateway for “Regenerate NY.” DEC is holding a webinar for interested applicants on Friday, May 6, at 10 a.m. For instructions on how to access the webinar via phone or computer, or for details about the grant opportunity including application criteria, visit DEC’s website. Arbor Day is a nationally celebrated observance held on the last Friday of April each year. It was originally established in 1872 to encourage farmers and homesteaders to plant trees for shade, fuel, and beauty in open areas. Today, it is an opportunity to promote tree planting and care while we celebrate everything trees do for us. From a several hundredacre rural forest to the street trees of an urban forest, all trees are important for providing invaluable ecosystem services and societal benefits that affect our everyday lives.

ALBANY — New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos announced $2 million in new grant funding is now available to municipalities statewide to help establish or expand food scrap recycling programs and facilities. The first $1 million in grants will prioritize eligible projects that dedicate at least half of the funding to serving Environmental Justice communities to ensure these communities disproportionately overburdened by environmental pollution are able to participate in the initiative’s climate and waste-reduction benefits. “Food scrap recycling infrastructure is critical to achieve New York’s waste diversion goals and these grants help ensure equitable access to this new funding opportunity,” said Commissioner Seggos. “Composting can help protect our shared environment by diverting food waste to help reduce our dependance on landfills, protect the planet from harmful methane emissions, and recycle organic nutrients back into the soil to grow healthy food. In addition, successful programs like the Food Donation and Food Waste Scraps Recycling Law support the State’s efforts under Governor Kathy Hochul’s leadership to reduce waste and climate-altering emissions while getting hundreds of thousands of pounds of quality food to New Yorkers in need.” Commissioner Seggos celebrated the announcement at an event at the Radix Ecological Sustainability Center in the city of Albany with Mayor Kathy Sheehan, recognizing the city’s food scraps drop-off location and compost education program. The city received a $225,000 Food Waste Reduction grant from DEC in 2019 and is putting it to work in the community. Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan said, “I want to thank Governor Hochul and Commissioner Seggos for investing in food scrap recycling programs and facilities on a local level. Funding waste diversion programs in an equitable way allows for increased participation in sustainable practices and provides nourishment to those with food insecurities. The benefits to our environment include

reducing dependence on landfills and combustors and helping lower climate-altering emissions while producing valuable, nutrient-rich compost that improves soil health and water quality. New Yorkers are national leaders when it comes to sustainability, and effectively managing and recycling the waste we generate is in line with that precedent. What a wonderful way to recognize Compost Awareness Week here in Albany and across the State.” Recycling food scraps, grass, leaves, yard clippings, and other organic materials through composting helps to lower climate-altering emissions from landfills and combustors, while producing valuable, nutrient-rich compost that improves soil health and water quality. Diverting organics from landfills is a component of the Draft Scoping Plan to implement New York’s ambitious Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. The State’s Climate Action Council is holding a public hearing tomorrow in Brooklyn to receive comments on the draft Scoping Plan. Visit climate. ny.gov for more information. The food scraps and compost initiatives targeted for funding in this round of DEC grants are among many efforts New York State is undertaking to promote both increased food donation and food scraps recycling. Earlier this year, the State implemented the New York State Food Donation and Food Scraps Recycling Law, which requires businesses and institutions that generate an annual average of two tons of wasted food per week or more to donate excess edible food and recycle all remaining food scraps if they are within 25 miles of an organics recycler. Approximately 1,150 businesses across the state are required to donate, with 320 businesses also required to recycle their food scraps. DEC partnered with Feeding New York State, the food bank association of New York State, to provide assistance to businesses to help set up or enhance food donation programs. In the last six months since this successful partnership got underway, more than 440,000 pounds of edible food was donated to food banks and provided directly to people in need.

Feeding New York State Executive Director Dan Egan said, “The Food Donation and Food Scraps Recycling Law is already having a big impact on families in need. We have seen a substantial increase in donations from 43 new donors, with more slated to come online shortly. Our partnership with Commissioner Seggos’ staff at DEC is what makes this possible. DEC funding and expertise has enabled us to visit dozens of potential new donors, manage new, high quality food donations, and divert over 400,000 pounds of perfectly good food away from landfills. This food is feeding people right now, and is proof that good public policy works. In the next few years our goal is to divert one million pounds per month of high quality food away from waste streams and put it to its intended use of feeding people. We thank Governor Hochul for her leadership on these issues, as well as the staff at DEC for their wonderful partnership in fighting hunger and sustaining the environment. Congratulations to Mayor Kathy Sheehan for this great step forward for Albany.” To qualify for the municipal food scrap recycling grants, municipalities must submit an application to DEC. For additional information visit https://www. dec.ny.gov/chemical/97456. html. This new funding is supported by the State Environmental Protection Fund (EPF). Among the many environmental victories in the enacted 2022-23 State Budget, Governor Hochul and legislative leaders increased the EPF to $400 million, the highest-ever level of funding in the program’s history. This boost includes an increase of $500,000 for organics recycling that is part of a total increase of $3.7 million for municipal recycling over last year’s budget. The EPF supports climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts, improves agricultural resources to promote sustainable agriculture, protects water sources, advances conservation efforts, and provides recreational opportunities for New Yorkers.

We Are All Immigrants CATSKILL – Abe Cahan was an idealistic young man from Vilna (Lithuania) who arrived in America like most immigrants – with big hopes and dreams. He arrived on these shores in 1882 and, after apprenticing at several newspapers, founded The Jewish Daily Forward in 1897. Given the influx of displaced Russians and Eastern Europeans, the paper rapidly developed a wide following. By the 1920s, it was selling 250,000 copies a day – more than The New York Times. One of Cahan’s daily features was a “Dear Abby” equivalent. Begun in 1906, queries from readers could cover any topic – every aspect of the immigrant experience – from the proper relationship between bosses and workers to how to rein in a spendthrift son – even help in deciding whether or not to sanction shaving one’s beard. On May 14th and 15th, Temple Israel of Catskill is presenting A Bintel Brief, Yiddish

“A group of young Austrian immigrants wave to the Statue of Liberty upon their arrival in America aboard the S.S. Harding. The fifty Jewish children, who were greeted by their new adoptive families, were fleeing Nazi persecution in their homeland.”

for ‘a bundle of letters’, a staged reading with live music directed

by Carol Rusoff, and produced in partnership with the Bridge

Street theatre, 44 West Bridge Street, Catskill. Tickets are free of charge, however donations are appreciated. Contact juliegoldweitz@gmail.com for reservations. “Cahan’s advice ran the gamut from heartbreaking to humorous,” said Rusoff. “His answers, both practical and progressive, helped struggling immigrants understand and accept new ways. Some of them were quite quirky and funny.” Almost immediately, the advice found its way into daily conversations – helping to achieve Americanization - not unlike the desires of 21st century newcomers to the U.S. The project is supported by a grant from the WassermanStreit Y’DIYAH Memorial Fund through the Berkshire Taconic Foundation, Temple Israel of Catskill (www.TempleIsraelofCatskill.org) and Bridge Street Theatre (www.bridgest.org).

James Bagwell conducts Bach and Vivaldi GREAT BARRINGTON — James Bagwell conducts Bach and Vivaldi J.S. Bach: Cantata Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, BWV 140 A. Vivaldi: Gloria in D Major, RV589 On May 14, 4 p.m., conductor James Bagwell leads soloists, chorus, and orchestra in two beloved choral works—J.S. Bach’s Cantata, Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, BWV 140, and Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria in D Major, RV 589, at the First Congregational Church in Great Barrington (MA). Distinguished Bach scholar Dr. George Stauffer joins Maestro Bagwell to provide commentary about the music. “We are delighted to present this concert of uplifting music to our audience,” said Terrill McDade, Interim Executive Director of The Berkshire Bach Society. “James Bagwell last conducted the Vivaldi Gloria for us six years ago, and in fact has never performed Wachet auf for Berkshire Bach, though it is part of his performance repertoire.

James Bagwell

14 when we present both works and George Stauffer’s insightful commentary in the beautiful acoustics of the Sanctuary at the First Congregational Church. Truly a concert of comfort food for the soul!” Conductor James Bagwell is familiar to Berkshire Bach audiences as a master of choral technique and purity of sound, and in his realizations of the works on this program showcases the essential beauty of Baroque

sacred vocal music. Professor of Music and Director of Performance Studies at Bard College, Bagwell is internationally recognized for his work conducting choral, operatic, and orchestral music. He has led important orchestras both in the U.S. and abroad and has worked with conductors from Charles Dutoit to Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Ricardo Muti, Andris Nelsons, Zubin Mehta, and others. Dr. Geroge Stauffer is

Distinguished Professor of Music History and Dean Emeritus of the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. He is known internationally as a scholar and writer on the music and culture of the Baroque Era and the life and works of J.S. Bach in particular, and recently provided commentary for our organ concert on March 5, 2022. The Berkshire Bach Society is pleased to bring both of these accomplished musicians to our local audience, who will also recognize many long-time members of the Berkshire Bach instrumental and vocal ensembles as part of the musical forces for this concert.

Hendrick Hudson DAR: Genealogy Workshop, Free and Open to the Public. Sat, May 7, 1 p.m. HUDSON — The Hendrick Hudson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution hosts a free workshop, open to the public, on Saturday May 7 at 1 p.m.. It will be presented by chapter registrar Gretchen Maresco, MS. Many people wonder about their ancestry. Did an ancestor come over on the Mayflower or play a role in the American Revolution or the Civil War? This workshop will outline how a person could get started in answering questions like these and will talk about the various resources that are available.

Gretchen Maresco is a lineage researcher who has been a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution since 2006. She has proven 22 of her ancestors as patriots who served in various roles during the Revolution. Most of these ancestors were her maternal ancestors, who resided in Ulster County, New York. Her father was from Mississippi, and she has proven her lineage to three of his ancestors who served in the southern colonies during the Revolution. She served as Chairman of the New York State Organization DAR Lineage Research

Committee for six years and still serves as a Vice Chairman. She has held many lineage research workshops for women—and men—who want to learn about their family history and frequently volunteers to help people solve some of the “brick walls” in their family history. The workshop takes place at 113 Warren Street in Hudson. Pre-registration is not required, but questions can be directed to (518) 755-4917. The Hendrick Hudson Chapter of the DAR was chartered in 1896. A nonpartisan organization welcoming eligible women

without regard to race, creed, or religion, it includes 130 members who trace their lineage back to a patriot in the American Revolution--whether serving as soldier, shopkeeper, or seamstress. The chapter owns and maintains its meeting house, the Historic Robert Jenkins House, at 113 Warren Street in Hudson. The chapter and the chapter house can be accessed at hudson-dar.org, facebook.com/ HudsonDAR, hendrickhudsonchapterdar@gmail.com, and (518) 828-9764.

Offbeat comedy drama ‘Woman at War’ next Movies With Spirit screening May 21 NEW PALTZ — The offbeat comedy drama “Woman at War,” about a mild-mannered choir director who is secretly a fervent environmental activist, is this month’s Movies With Spirit screening at 7 p.m. May 21 at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 163 Main St. in New Paltz. “A human-scaled superhero story,” critic Marjorie Baumgarten writes in The Austin (Texas) Chronicle. “Had me gripped and delighted all the way through,” writes Max Weiss in Baltimore magazine. “Cinematically and philosophically rewarding from start to finish,” says Tomris Laffly on RogerEbert.com. In the award-winning film, Halla (Halldora Geirharosdottir) is the 50-year-old choir director in the Icelandic Highlands who leads a double life. Behind the scenes, she is a one-woman saboteur, furtively fighting against the world’s No. 2 metals and mining giant, which wants

to build a Highlands aluminum smelter. As Halla’s actions grow bolder, from petty vandalism to outright industrial sabotage, she succeeds in pausing negotiations between the Icelandic government and the Rio Tinto Group. But just as she starts planning her biggest and boldest operation yet, she receives an unexpected letter that changes everything: Her long-ago application to adopt a child has finally been accepted and a little girl is waiting for her in Ukraine.

The 2018 film, which earned 29 critic and festival awards, is in Icelandic, Spanish, English and Ukrainian with English subtitles. It runs 1 hour 41 minutes and is not rated by the Motion Picture Association. The film’s trailer can be found on YouTube at tinyurl.com/ WomanAtWar-MoviesWSpirit.

Everything Everywhere All at Once

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE Friday, May 7, 7 pm Rated R | 132 minutes Action, Adventure, Comedy Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels.

Everything Everywhere All At Once is a hilarious and big-hearted sci-fi action adventure about an exhausted Chinese American woman (Michelle Yeoh) who can’t seem to finish her taxes. Then she is swept up in an insane adventure, where she alone can save the world by exploring other universes connecting with the lives she could have led. “Yes, the movie is a metaphysical multiverse galaxybrain head trip, but deep down — and also right on the surface — it’s a bittersweet domestic drama, a marital comedy, a story of immigrant striving and a hurt-filled ballad of motherdaughter love.” — A.O. Scott, New York Times “It’s a tour de force…” — Michael O’Sullivan, Washington Post EAT, PRAY, LOVE

Eat, Pray, Love

Saturday, May 7, 4 pm Rated PG-13 | 133 minutes Biography, Drama, Romance Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having – a husband, a house, a successful career – yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for selfdiscovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali. “The film’s most crucial constituency — the book’s rabid fans — are likely to feel well served by Murphy’s adaptation, which hews pretty faithfully to Gilbert’s story.” — Ann Hornaday, Washington Post “Roberts rides all the turbulent waves with such ease and such grace, that Jenkins knows exactly what to do with his internal churn, and that Bardem can do no wrong.” — Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times

Heat take care of business with 119-103 win over 76ers

Ira Winderman

South Florida Sun-Sentinel

MIAMI — As needed. No, nothing spectacular Wednesday night from the Miami Heat at FTX Arena, just what was required, a 119-103 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers that moved them to a 2-0 lead in this best-ofseven Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series. Jimmy Butler got his passing fancy on, closing with 22 points and 12 assists. Tyler Herro scored off the bench as needed, with 18 points. And Bam Adebayo took care of matters in the middle with his 23 points and nine rebounds. There also were 19 points from Victor Oladipo, who helped settle things late. So even with Kyle Lowry yet to appear in the series, missing his fourth consecutive game with a hamstring strain, the Heat positioned themselves where needed heading into Friday’s 7 p.m. Game 3 at Wells Fargo Center. For the 76ers, it again was an inability to compensate for the absence of All-Star center Joel Embiid, who remained behind in Philadelphia with a concussion and orbital fracture sustained in the previous round, with no guarantee of a return Friday. The 76ers got 34 points from Tyrese Maxey, 21 from Tobias Harris and 20 from James Harden, but their 3-point shooting remained off. Five Degrees of Heat from Wednesday’s game: — 1. Closing time: The Heat led 31-24 at the end of the first quarter, pushed their lead to 14 in the second, and went into the intermission up 60-52. Then, after going up 15 in the third, the Heat took a 91-80 advantage into the fourth. Philadelphia then closed within eight early in the fourth, but the Heat countered with essentially a five-point possession, when, after an Adebayo dunk, the Heat then

forced a turnover on the ensuing 76ers inbounds play, and Max Strus converted a 3-pointer for a 99-86 lead. The Heat lead would grow to 18, before the 76ers got back within 10. But an Oladipo 3-pointer settled matters. — 2. Still a bucket: Presented his Sixth Man of the Year award pregame, Herro then came off the bench and showed how he earned it. Herro opened 4 of 4 from the field and 2 of 2 on 3-pointers in front of his college coach John Calipari, who was in attendance, seated behind the Heat bench. Those 10 points came in his first 9:24. He had 16 at the intermission. At times, it was as if the Heat were waiting for Herro to check in, in order to get the offense to a

higher gear. Oladipo helped in that regard, as well. — 3. Playmaker: Butler set the table early, with five first-quarter assists and already with a doubledouble with 4:10 left in the third period. While not as dominant with his scoring as in the previous series against the Atlanta Hawks, Butler has helped compensate for Lowry’s absence with his facilitating. Oh, and there also was another 3-pointer. — 4. Harden time: Harden looked a lot more like Harden in the first half, even when hounded by the Heat’s P.J. Tucker and Caleb Martin. He was up to 16 points at the intermission, his first half with 15 or more points this postseason. Harden’s 10 first-half shots tied for his high in any half in these

playoffs. He then was limited to two points on 2-of-9 shooting in the third quarter, never a factor in the second half. — 5. Big thing: Even with the 76ers forced to go small in the absence of Embiid, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra still went with backup center Dewayne Dedmon in his rotation. Dedmon then was at the heart of a 14-6 run to end the first period that gave the Heat a 31-24 lead going into the second. “Dewayne is very versatile,” Spoelstra said. “But he also gives us that size. So they have to deal with him on the other side.” But the 76ers then increasingly went to small ball, going with Georges Niang and then Harris at center. Niang fouled out midway through the fourth quarter.

Mavericks fall apart late as Suns take 2-0 lead Callie Caplan The Dallas Morning News

PHOENIX — About 90 minutes before Game 2 Wednesday night, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd was adamant: His team — down 1-0 to the NBA-best Phoenix Suns in this second-round playoff matchup — felt no pressure to tie the series or risk a gloomier outlook hours later. No doubt they’re feeling more urgency now. The Mavericks face a 0-2 series deficit after losing 129-109 to the Suns Wednesday night in Footprint Center. Luka Doncic thrived again on offense — scoring 35 points on 13-of-22 from the floor and 5-of-10 from 3 and adding seven assists and five rebounds in 36 minutes — and a handful of teammates provided more shooting support than in Monday’s series opener. But Phoenix outscored them 71-49 in the second half to overcome a chippy, foul-trouble-heavy whistle fest to dampen the Mavericks’ hopes of maneuvering a No. 4-seed upset into the Western Conference Finals. In 439 best-of-seven NBA playoff series that have started 2-0, just 31 teams (7.1%) have overcome the deficit to advance. To do so would now require the Mavericks to snap their 11-game losing streak to the Suns — who have also won 18 of the last 21 matchups — and triumph at least once in Phoenix, where they’ve gone winless since November 2019. Prepare for a tense atmosphere when the series heads to American Airlines Center for Friday night’s Game 3. The Suns’ All-Star duo of Devin Booker (30 points) and Chris Paul (28) combined to shoot 22-of-35 (62.9%) from the floor to torment

the Mavericks’ defense that played long stretches without Dorian Finney-Smith, who wasn’t alone in near-constant foul trouble. Paul added 14 points on 6 of 7 shooting in the fourth quarter, his NBA-best fourth time scoring more than 10 points in the final frame this postseason. Reggie Bullock supported Doncic’s offensive production with 16 points on four 3-pointers, and the Mavericks reserves outscored Phoenix’s bench 43-36 to prove TNT wasn’t actually airing a replay of Game 1, as it might’ve appeared in the early goings Wednesday. But the Mavericks’ second consecutive slow start foreshadowed their first back-to-back losses since mid-March and just their second two-game slide in the 2022 calendar year. Doncic committed a turnover on the Mavericks’ first possession, again. The Suns scored nine points before Dallas tallied one, again. Two key Mavericks endured first-quarter foul trouble, again — this time Jalen Brunson with two in the first six minutes and FinneySmith with three in 7:20. Before tipoff, Kidd had delivered a simple message to his team — “we belong here” — because he sensed his team — about half of whom had never played beyond the first round — started Game 1 with nerves, while the 2021 Finals runner-up Suns played with a comfortable edge to open a quick double-digit lead. Players heeded the message in the second quarter, when their lone disjointed facet came via officiating. The crew — led by notorious quick-whistler Tony Brothers — called 30 fouls in the first half and put the Mavericks in the penalty three

minutes into the second quarter. In a 47-second stretch midway through the period, officials called four offensive fouls in the span of five possessions and another two looks later. Finney-Smith sat the last 14:27 of the first half with three fouls. Brunson and Davis Bertans played through three apiece, too. So did the Suns’ Deandre Ayton, Cameron Johnson and JaVale McGee. The Mavericks still outscored Phoenix by nine points (15-6) in the 5:09 Doncic sat to start the second quarter to open their first lead of the series — 64 minutes after it started — and soon after Doncic returned, he drained three 3-pointers in the last three minutes of the half to boost their 60-58 halftime lead. Doncic’s quick spark foreshadowed the Suns’ second-half torching. Phoenix hunted matchups against Doncic in pick-and-roll defense — to keep him from conserving energy and to expose his lack of burst and versatility as the Mavericks’ low man. Dallas tried to move their 23-year-old AllStar around — flashing rotations and doubleteams at times — but Paul’s intentional midrange pull-ups and offensive orchestration gave Doncic a taste of how most other defenders feel facing Luka Magic down the stretch. In total, officials called 54 fouls in the game, and seven players drew at least four. Kidd emptied the Mavericks’ bench with 4:41 remaining and boisterous fans throughout Footprint Center cheered in unison: “Suns in four! Suns in four!” Another reminder of the Mavericks’ deepening series hole.

Nets’ Ben Simmons has back surgery on Thursday Kristian Winfield New York Daily News

NEW YORK — Nets star Ben Simmons was scheduled to undergo back surgery on Thursday, adding yet another chapter to the saga that’s been his delayed debut in Brooklyn. The Nets announced Wednesday that Simmons would have a microdiscectomy to alleviate the pain associated with the herniated disc he developed in his lower back after his arrival in Brooklyn — via the Feb. 10 James Harden trade with the Philadelphia 76ers. “After consultation with

multiple back specialists, it has been determined that the best course of action for Ben’s longterm health is for him to undergo back surgery,” the Nets announced in a statement. The Hospital for Special Surgery defines a microdiscectomy as “a surgical procedure for the relief of pain and other symptoms that occur when a herniated disc in the spine presses on an adjacent nerve root. During the operation, the surgeon frees the nerve by removing small fragments of disc, bone and ligament.” Simmons’ recovery timeline is

three-to-four months, according to ESPN, which would clear him ahead of Nets’ training camp in September. Simmons received an epidural to alleviate the pain in his lower back on March 13, which helped him progress to four-on-four workouts with contact. The Nets said Simmons’ back pain flared up once again the morning before Game 4 of the Nets’ Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Celtics. There is a history of past and active NBA players with back issues who underwent the

microdiscectomy procedure, like: Lakers’ big man Dwight Howard, Nuggets’ forward Michael Porter Jr., ex-Nets big man Brook Lopez. Former NBA point guard and current Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr’s microdiscectomy procedure led to further complications of his lower back. Simmons, a three-time All-Star, is also the third player in recent Nets history to have an injury setback during the season. James Harden injured his hamstring last season, then had a setback while ramping up.

second base. Trey Smith popped out to Sager on the mound for the first out, and Jake Miller grounded a ball right back to the mound. Sager looked Gallagher back to second and threw to first for the out. Sam VanAuken added to Greenville’s lead as he barreled a pitch into center field for an RBI single to make the score 2-0. After two quick outs in the bottom of the second, Michael O’Connor and Adam Slater kept it going for the Riverhawks with backto-back base hits. Brayden Conrad got into the box and hit a ground ball to second that was bobbled by the infielder and everybody was safe to load the bases. Edmonds stayed tough on the hill and struck Hynes out looking to get out of the jam. Sager surrendered two walks to start the third to Edmonds and Flannery. He showed good discipline on the mound though, and got the next three batters on a fielder’s choice and two strikeouts to end it. Sager led off with a walk in the bottom half and Scott lined one off the glove of Greenville second baseman Ryan Arp to get aboard and move Sager to second. Sam Mozzillo worked a walk with one out to load the bases as the Riverhawks looked for a big inning. Christian Tedford hit a ball into the outfield that dropped in for a two run double to tie the game 2-2. After a strikeout and another walk, C-A had the bases loaded again for Conrad. He hit a swinging bunt that was fielded by Edmonds and flipped to Motta at the plate for the force and Greenville escaped further damage. Smith started the Spartan fourth with a grounder to short, and was safe at first on an overthrow. He stole second base but was caught in a rundown when Miller grounded to short and Smith was tagged in between second and third for the out. In the bottom of the fourth, Sager doubled with one out and was awarded third base on a balk called on Edmonds. Edmonds remained composed though, and struck out the next two hitters to strand Sager on third. Edmonds was hit by a pitch to lead off the fifth and moved to second on a slowdeveloping groundout to third by Flannery. Edmonds then stole third to make sure

Mozzillo looked at strike three to start the bottom half for the Riverhawks, but Tedford singled to center and stole second base. O’Connor worked a walk to get two runners on, but Slater struck out Conrad grounded to second for a fielder’s choice to end the frame. Sager sandwiched a walk between two strikeouts to start the sixth inning, and got VanAuken to ground out to third to bring the Riverhawks back to the plate. C-A could not capitalize on the quick top half provided by Sager however, and Edmonds retired them 1-2-3. Motta led off the seventh

with a high pop up in the infield that was called for and caught by the shortstop for out number one. Edmonds hit a ball to deep right center and Mozzillo tracked it to make an awkward catch as he fell to the ground but held onto the ball for the second out. Flannery kept the inning going for Greenville as he ripped a ball to the left side that short-hopped the third baseman’s glove and bounced into left for a base hit. Sager kept throwing the heat though, and struck Domermuth out looking for the third out. The Riverhawks still trailed 3-2 going into the bottom of the seventh. Keegan O’Callaghan came up to lead off the inning for C-A and hit a deep fly ball to left field. It carried just past the full extension by the left

fielder and over the fence for a game-tying home run to make it 3-3. With one out, Tedford reached on an infield single, but Edmonds got the next two hitters out to send the game to extras. Brady Penet entered the game in relief of Sager and looked to keep the score tied. Arp led off for Greenville and beat out a ground ball for a base hit. Gallagher flew out to right for the first out of the inning, and Smith worked a walk to get the go-ahead run to scoring position. Miller came up and hit a liner to short that was caught for the out and Arp was too far off the bag to get back to second and was doubled off for the third out. Greenville went to the bullpen in the eighth as well and brought in Sam Buquet to relieve Edmonds. Brady

MLB Roundup: Big sixth inning carries Braves past Mets Field Level Media

Adam Duvall had a two-run double in a seven-run sixth inning as visiting Atlanta earned a 9-2 victory over New York on Wednesdayto split the fourgame series between the National League East rivals. The Mets failed to win a series for the first time in eight tries this season. The teams combined to get just one runner beyond second base in the first five innings before the Braves unloaded against Tylor Megill (4-1), Adam Ottavino and Trevor Williams in the sixth. The Mets generated plenty of traffic against Ian Anderson in the first five innings but went just 1-for-10 with runners on base against the righthander. Brewers 18, Reds 4 Rowdy Tellez drove in eight runs with a grand slam, a tworun homer and a two-run double as the host Milwaukee Brewers pounded out an 18-4 victory over the free-falling Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night. Cincinnati, off to the worst start in franchise history at 3-21, has lost 19 of its last 20, including eight in a row, since beginning the season 2-2. The 12 consecutive road losses are the most since a 12-game skid in August 1945. Tellez’s slam off Vladimir Gutierrez put the Brewers up 6-2 in the third inning. Willy Adames was hit by a pitch to open the inning, Christian Yelich walked on four pitches, and Andrew McCutchen singled to load the bases. Tellez then ripped a 1-0 pitch 453 feet to center for his sixth homer of the season and third career grand slam. Tellez added a two-run homer in the sixth off reliever Dauri Moreta and a bases-loaded double to cap a five-run eighth. The eight RBIs is a Brewers franchise record. The Reds, off to their worst start in franchise history at 3-21, have lost 19 of their last 20, including eight in a row, since beginning the season 2-2. Cardinals 10, Royals 0 Nolan Arenado delivered his 10th career game of at least five RBIs as visiting St. Louis defeated Kansas City to get the best of a three-game interleague series between the Missouri rivals. Arenado had a three-run home run three batters into the game and added a two-run single in the seventh as St. Louis

million. For reference, if the Nets sign Kyrie Irving to the maximum possible contract extension, five years, $245 million, they will have a little under $165 million in guaranteed salaries committed to next season. Which makes the Nets significant, repeat tax offenders since this will be the third year in a row they will pay a luxury tax. That makes it significantly harder for this team to build out its roster, especially if billionaire team owner Joe Tsai isn’t willing to pay the premium.

won two of the three games. It was the third time the Royals were shut out in the past five games. Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright (3-3) allowed just one hit – a single by Michael A. Taylor in the third – over seven scoreless innings, with two strikeouts and one walk. Tigers 3, Pirates 2 (G1) Detroit took advantage of two errors in the fifth inning to score all of their runs as they edged visiting Pittsburgh in the first game of a doubleheader. The scheduled opener of the series Tuesday was postponed due to inclement weather and rescheduled as the second game of the doubleheader. Detroit, which had just three hits, won for just the second time in the last nine games. Tigers starter Michael Pineda was charged with two runs on four hits in 4 1/3 innings. Alex Lange (1-1) pitched 2/3 of an inning and was credited with the win. Pirates 7, Tigers 2 (G2) Daniel Vogelbach homered and drove in three runs as Pittsburgh salvaged a doubleheader split with a win over host Detroit. The Pirates won for just the second time in eight games. Detroit is 2-8 over its last 10 games. Ben Gamel had three hits, scored two runs and knocked in another in the nightcap. Zach Thompson (1-3) tossed an inning of scoreless relief to get the win. David Bednar recorded a two-inning save. Robbie Grossman had two hits and an RBI for the Tigers. Diamondbacks 8, Marlins 7 Pavin Smith hit a two-run, goahead homer in the top of the ninth inning and Arizona survived the first-inning ejection of pitcher Madison Bumgarner to complete a three-game sweep of host Miami. Bumgarner, who allowed a solo homer to Jon Berti in his only inning of work, seemed upset with home plate umpire Ryan Wills’ balls and strikes calls. After the inning, first base umpire Dan Bellino performed the random check of Bumgarner’s glove and pitching hand. While that appeared to uncover nothing illegal, words were exchanged and Bumgarner was tossed. Berti homered twice and Jesus Aguilar went deep once for the Marlins. All three were solo homers, and it wasn’t enough

pitches, the most since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2020, struck out three and did not walk a batter. The Mariners did not get a runner to third base in the first two games of the series, when they were shut out 3-0 and 4-0, respectively. Suarez’s homer in the seventh marked the first time in the series that Seattle had a runner reach third base and ended a 26 1/3-inning scoreless streak for Astros pitching. Orioles 9, Twins 4 Cedric Mullins and Ramon Urias each hit two-run homers in a six-run third inning as host Baltimore ended Minnesota’s four-game winning streak. The Orioles roughed up Twins starter Dylan Bundy (32). The former Baltimore pitcher gave up all nine runs on 11 hits and two walks in 3 2/3 innings. Trey Mancini had three hits and a walk for the Orioles, who tied a franchise record by turning five double plays. White Sox 4, Cubs 3 AJ Pollock blooped a tiebreaking single in the sixth inning, and the visiting Chicago White Sox held on to sweep their two-game set against the crosstown rival Chicago Cubs. Jose Abreu and Leury Garcia each homered and Gavin Sheets had an RBI for the White Sox, who have won three straight after losing 11 of 13. White Sox starter Lucas Giolito (1-1) gave up a two-run homer to Nico Hoerner and a solo shot to Patrick Wisdom, both in the second inning, plus one other hit, while walking two and striking out 10 over 5 2/3 innings. The White Sox have won five in a row and nine of 11 at Wrigley Field. Rangers 2, Phillies 1 (10) Brad Miller hit a bloop tworun single to right field with two outs in the 10th inning to lift Texas past host Philadelphia. Marcus Semien reached base three times with two hits and once after being hit by a pitch as the Rangers won their fourth in a row, including a two-game sweep of the Phillies. Rangers starter Martin Perez threw seven shutout innings and gave up four hits to go along with four strikeouts and four walks. Matt Bush (1-1) earned the win after retiring one batter in the ninth. Joe Barlow picked up his third save in three opportunities despite allowing a run

in the 10th. Angels 10, Red Sox 5 Taylor Ward and Jared Walsh homered during the Angels’ sixrun 10th inning as Los Angeles came from behind for a win over host Boston. Ward’s one-out, two-run shot gave the Angels a 6-4 lead. Later in the inning, after Hirokazu Sawamura replaced Matt Barnes out of Boston’s bullpen, Anthony Rendon hit a runscoring single to left and Walsh clubbed a three-run homer to left-center. Walsh was 3-for-5, adding a double, two runs scored and four RBI for the Angels, who had been shut out in their previous two games. Max Stassi and Rendon also homered, as four of Los Angeles’ eight hits left the park. Rendon was 2-for-5, scored twice and drove in two more. Rockies 5, Nationals 2 Ryan McMahon and Brendan Rodgers had two hits apiece, Austin Gomber pitched strongly into the seventh inning, and Colorado beat Washington in Denver. Connor Joe had a two-run triple and Daniel Bard pitched the ninth for his seventh save for Colorado. Lane Thomas homered and Yadiel Hernandez and Cesar Hernandez had two hits apiece for Washington, which wasted a complete game from lefty Patrick Corbin. The start of the game was delayed 25 minutes due to wet weather that moved through the Denver area on Wednesday. Temperatures were in the mid40s for the game. Dodgers 9, Giants 1 Tony Gonsolin pitched five strong innings, while Mookie Betts and Max Muncy hit home runs, as Los Angeles earned a victory over visiting San Francisco to sweep a brief two-game series between National League West rivals. Freddie Freeman had a tworun triple as the Dodgers won for the fourth time in their last five games. Brandon Crawford hit a home run for the Giants, while Alex Wood pitched into the sixth inning as San Francisco lost for the fifth time in its last six games. Gonsolin (2-0), who wasn’t officially named the Dodgers starter until earlier Wednesday, gave up one run on three hits over five innings with one walk and five strikeouts.

to avoid Miami’s fourth straight loss. Padres 5, Guardians 4 (G1) San Diego used a home run from Manny Machado and 4 2/3 innings from starter Mike Clevinger in his 2022 debut to beat host Cleveland in Game 1 of their doubleheader. Machado, who had two of San Diego’s six hits, bashed a two-run homer in the third inning. Clevinger allowed three runs in his first appearance in almost two years. The righthander allowed four hits and three walks. Clevinger, coming off Tommy John surgery, struck out four batters. He threw 95 pitches, 54 for strikes. Steven Wilson (3-0) allowed two inherited runs to score to tie the game in the fifth, but he picked up the win when the Padres regained the lead in the top of the sixth. Josh Naylor had two hits and two RBIs for the Guardians. Starter Zach Plesac (1-3) allowed five runs, four earned, five hits and four walks. He struck out four. Guardians 6, Padres 5 (G2, 10) Rookie Steven Kwan’s runscoring single in the bottom of the 10th inning gave host Cleveland the come-from-behind victory over San Diego and a split of their doubleheader. Kwan, the American League Rookie of the Month for April, knocked in Owen Miller from second base with a ground ball to right field off Padres reliever Dinelson Lamet (0-1). Nick

Sandlin (2-1) pitched a scoreless top of the 10th in relief. Andres Gimenez and Austin Hedges each had two hits and one RBI for Cleveland. Starter Cal Quantrill worked six innings and allowed three runs, three hits and five walks with seven strikeouts. Eric Hosmer drove in two runs for the Padres, and starter MacKenzie Gore went 5 2/3 innings and allowed four hits, one run and three walks with two strikeouts. Rays 3, A’s 0 Corey Kluber struck out seven in six shutout innings and Manuel Margot hit a two-out, two-run single in the eighth inning as Tampa Bay completed a three-game sweep of host Oakland. J.P. Feyereisen (2-0), Colin Poche and closer Andrew Kittredge teamed with Kluber on a four-hitter, sending the A’s to their sixth straight defeat on a winless homestand. Frankie Montas had worked the first seven innings for the A’s, shutting out the Rays on four hits. He walked one and struck out six. Astros 7, Mariners 2 Justin Verlander produced another strong start, and Alex Bregman had three hits and three RBIs as Houston rolled past visiting Seattle to sweep the three-game series. Verlander (3-1) allowed two runs on five hits in 6 2/3 innings, leaving in the seventh after Eugenio Suarez’s two-run home run. Verlander racked up 101

Rodriguez also began crying, a moment that resonated with fans everywhere. Lanzillotta said he knew as soon as he got his hand on the home run ball he was going to give it to Rodriguez. “I don’t know how I didn’t cry,” Lanzillotta told reporters. “I am a pretty emotional guy.” The video of the simple and kind gesture was caught by YES Network cameras and went viral on social media. Judge was touched when he heard about the video after Tuesday night’s game. “It’s a special moment,”

Judge said. “I was excited to meet Derek and the man who caught it, a Blue Jays fan, and for him to have that moment with a young Yankee fan. That’s a moment that’s seen around the world now. It just speaks volumes to the Blue Jays fans they have here. It is a cool little connection they got there.” Rodriguez said he took the home run ball to school Wednesday. “My friends and my teacher all congratulated me,” Rodriguez said before pulling the ball out of his pocket. Judge signed the baseball

and gave the boy batting gloves. He shook hands with Lanzillotta. As Venezuelans, the Rodriguez family was also very excited to meet Gleyber Torres, who got to the dugout after Judge. The young boy hugged him tight as his father spoke with bench coach Carlos Mendoza, another fellow Venezuelan who played on a winter ball team that Derek’s father rooted for back in their home country. “That stuff is tough to beat. That’s just one of those moments that warms your heart,” manager Aaron

Boone said after watching the video from Tuesday night. “One of the things that I appreciate in major league sports is sportsmanship. When you see that from the fanbases that are battling it out... it shows just because you’re competing and you want to beat the other guy so badly it doesn’t mean you can’t be gracious, show sportsmanship. “ BACK IN THE PACK After missing three straight games with a tight left groin, Joey Gallo was back in the lineup on Wednesday night. “I think he proved he was

ready to go yesterday and I kind of want to honor that,” Boone said. “I feel like getting back out there, getting a game in and then having an off day, it kind of works well.” Gallo is hitting .180/.275/.295 with a .570 OPS, two home runs and three RBI. The lefty has struck out 29 times in 61 atbats and walked eight times. Gallo first felt it Saturday night in Kansas City as he broke to try and steal second base.

revenues to outbid small-town franchises (think Oklahoma City Thunder) when recruiting free agents. In short, it’s a way to keep teams with a whole lot of money in check. Teams, like the Nets, that end up paying out a total salary that exceeds that predetermined luxury tax level, have to pay out a certain number of dollars to the league based on how much their salary went over that luxury tax level. The tax collected then gets distributed to the teams that stayed below the line. Penalty increases for teams far exceeding the luxury tax For next season, teams that exceed the $147M tax line by $4.999M or less (registering a payroll between $147151.99M), would have to pay $1.50 for every dollar spent over the tax line. For example: The Los Angeles Lakers have $145M in guaranteed contracts for the 202223 NBA season. If they keep all their current players and use their mid-level exception

to sign a player to a deal that pays $5M the first year, that $5M salary would actually cost $9.5M because the Lakers would have to pay $4.5M in taxes on the $3M of that salary that exceeds $147M. The penalty increases to $1.75/dollar of salary over for teams that spend $5-10M over the tax line. If a team’s salary is $10-15M over the tax, it’s levied a whopping tax rate of $2.50/dollar of salary over. And teams that go $15-20M over get levied a rate of $3.25/ dollar of salary over. If a team spends more than $20M over the tax line, the tax rate is $3.75/dollar of salary over and increases 50 cents for every additional $5M over the tax. Penalties increase more for repeat tax offenders The NBA defines a repeat tax offender as a team that has a payroll exceeding the tax line three years in a four-year span. There are three repeat offenders entering the 2022-23 NBA season — the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles

Clippers and, yes, the Nets. Unlike the regular tax rate, the repeat offender tax rate begins at a stunning $2.50/dollar of salary over then increases to $2.75, $3.50 and $4.25 for every additional $5M over the line. After the levied $4.25/ dollar of salary over, the NBA charges 50 cents for every additional $5M. If the Nets do nothing else but re-sign Irving to a max contract extension, they will begin this offseason with a $165M payroll plus a $56.5M tax bill, before adding any new players or re-signing any of their other own free agents. Player salary breakdown — Durant: $44,119,845 — Irving: $42,350,000 — Simmons: $35,448,672 — Harris: $18,642,857 — Curry: $8,496,653 — Mills: $6,184,500 — Carter: $3,925,000 — Thomas: $2,138,160 — Sharpe: $2,109,480 — Edwards: $1,563,518 What does that mean? It becomes ridiculously

expensive to re-sign someone like Claxton or Bruce Brown. It also becomes exorbitant to use any of their exceptions to add new players to the roster. In the case of their own free agents, both Claxton and Brown have played themselves into significant pay raises. Brown has become a legitimate 3-and-D wing and could command a salary that pays $10M annually. Claxton, who missed 10 of 11 free throws in the Nets’ final playoff game, is a versatile center who is getting stronger by the day. He could command a salary that pays $15M annually. Keep the tax penalties in mind. Claxton’s first year of his new contract would also add an additional $78.75M in luxury taxes for the Nets. And he’s just one player. That’s why it’s hard to see the Nets keeping Claxton or Brown. The luxury tax bill begins to outweigh the actual payroll. How else can the Nets improve their roster? The Nets have a few million

dollars in trade exceptions: $11.6M they obtained in the Spencer Dinwiddie deal; $6.3M created in the DeAndre Jordan deal; $3.3M from the Sekou Doumbouya deal; and the $6.3M taxpayer’s mid-level exception. Teams can use trade exceptions to acquire players from other teams without needing to send out any players to match salary. They can also use their mid-level exception to exceed the salary cap to sign free agents. Using each of those exceptions will quickly add to a luxury tax bill that could rank the highest in the NBA next season. Just how much the Alibaba magnate Tsai is willing to spend to make this team a champion this season remains to be seen. It could depend how he views Claxton: as a mere $15M salary on payroll, or an $80M luxury tax bill.

Kyrie Irving reflects on heavy criticism for refusing the vaccine: ‘The life of a martyr’ Stefan Bondy New York Daily News

NEW YORK — Surprised by a vaccine mandate that left him unable to play for much of last season, Kyrie Irving described himself as a “martyr” for refusing the COVID-19 shot while facing heavy scrutiny. “I was not expecting a mandate to be brought down in a way where it wasn’t going to let me play at all,” Irving told the Boardroom’s “The ETCs” podcast in an episode published Wednesday. “I had the opportunity to play away games still but there was no plan in place, there was no vision of how it was going to work for our team. And I think that not only impacted not just me, but a lot of people. Just had to sit in that hot seat for a little bit and deal with it. The life of a martyr, bro.” Irving’s anti-vaccination stance initially prompted the Nets to remove the point guard from all games and practices, claiming it unfeasible to have a part-time player for only away contests. General manager Sean Marks quickly backtracked and Irving debuted on Jan. 5 in Indiana. Still, the New York City mandate kept Irving from playing home games until April, leaving the 30-year-old with just 29 appearances during the regular season. The Nets flamed out in the playoffs and Irving, who struggled in that first-round sweep to the Celtics, acknowledged his absences were a hindrance. “I had to play catch-up,” Irving said. “And playing catch-up in a league that’s only getting better,

it’s not the position you’d like to be in.” Irving, who still hasn’t explained his reason for rejecting the vaccine beyond “a personal decision,” clearly doesn’t regret his decision. And while becoming a hero to the anti-vax and

anti-mandate movements — drawing praise, for instance, from right-wing politicians like Senator Ted Cruz (Texas) — Irving was panned by many media outlets for failing his team. ESPN maven Stephen A Smith was a relentless

critic of Irving last season. “ The mandate3/8 completely caught me off guard. I didn’t expect to come into the season with all this put on my plate,” Irving said. “It was an ultimatum given to me, it’s either you work and get vaccinated just like this ultimatum was given to other people, or you sit at home and now we get to talk s--- about your decisions and me personally and make all these judgments and stuff. “I had to deal with both ends of the spectrum. I sat right in the middle. I knew I was doing the right thing for me. And I had to stay rooted int that decision. And I’m grateful I had a great support system to get me through it because it wasn’t easy.” Irving could become a free agent this summer by declining his $37 million player option. He has publicly expressed a desire to return to the Nets and continue his partnership with Kevin Durant, although Brooklyn will have to decide whether it’s prudent to invest long term in a player who has logged at least 68 games just once in the last seven seasons. Durant is signed until 2026 and Irving indicated he’d like to accompany his teammate through that contract. “I’d like to put together four straight years of team dominance,” Irving said. “Winning 60-plus games. Going deep in the playoffs and having fun building relationships that extend beyond the court.”

Mark Jackson’s controversial candidacy and Vivek Ranadive’s role in Kings’ coaching search Jason Anderson The Sacramento Bee

Mark Jackson, one of the top candidates in Sacramento’s search for a new head coach, went to the FBI in 2012 after an extramarital affair led to an extortion scandal involving a stripper, her accomplice and some nude photographs. Two years later, the Golden State Warriors fired Jackson following a 51-win season, with team owner Joe Lacob later saying Jackson was disliked by everyone in the organization. Critics have pointed to some of Jackson’s religious practices with strong intimations regarding his views on issues such as gay marriage and homosexuality. Jackson’s candidacy in the Kings’ coaching search has been controversial from the start, but there is a new level of consternation in Sacramento amid reports that Jackson has emerged as team owner Vivek

Ranadive’s top choice. Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer and veteran NBA correspondent Marc Stein have reported Jackson is Ranadive’s preferred candidate. Fischer went so far as to say Jackson “appears to be the front-runner and Kings owner Vivek Ranadive’s favorite candidate.” A league source told The Sacramento Bee the Kings are running a fair and equitable search process in which each candidate has an equal opportunity to win the job. Ranadive did not participate in the first round of virtual interviews when reports of his affinity for Jackson first surfaced, but Ranadive joined the process for in-person interviews this week. Steve Clifford, a Brooklyn Nets coaching consultant and former head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets, was in Sacramento earlier this week. Jackson was in town Tuesday.

Warriors assistant Mike Brown, who has head coaching experience with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers, is expected to visit the Kings over the next couple of days. The Kings chose three defensive-minded coaching finalists from their initial list of seven candidates, which included Milwaukee Bucks assists Darvin Ham and Charles Lee, Boston Celtics assistant Will Hardy and veteran coach Mike D’Antoni. Jackson was quickly singled out as the most polarizing figure on Sacramento’s list when the Kings’ candidates were revealed 10 days ago. Jackson, 57, is best known for his work as an NBA game analyst for the lead broadcast crew on ESPN and ABC. Working alongside play-by-play man Mike Breem and former coach Jeff Van Gundy, Jackson coined the popular catch phrase, “Mama, there goes that

man.” Jackson came up as a playground legend out of Queens, New York, where he became one of the nation’s best high school point guards before going on to star at St. John’s. Jackson was the NCAA assist leader in 1986, Big East Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 1987 and a two-time First Team All-Big East selection. The New York Knicks selected Jackson with the No. 18 pick in the 1987 NBA draft. Despite his modest draft position, Jackson was named NBA Rookie of the Year after averaging 13.6 points, 10.6 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 steals in his first season with the Knicks. Jackson spent a total of seven seasons with the Knicks over the course of a 17-year playing career. He spent six seasons with the Indiana Pacers and two with the Los Angeles Clippers. He also had brief stints with the Utah Jazz, Toronto

Raptors, Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets. Jackson led the NBA in assists in 1997 and was named an All-Star in 1989. He finished his career with 12,489 points, 4,963 rebounds and 10,334 assists. He is fifth all-time in the NBA in assists, trailing only John Stockton, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul and Steve Nash. He ranks ahead of luminous stars such as Magic Johnson, LeBron James, Oscar Robertson, Isiah Thomas and Gary Payton. Jackson first went into broadcasting after retiring in 2004. He got his first and only coaching job in 2011, when the Warriors, under new ownership with Lacob and Peter Guber, hired him as their head coach. The first season was a struggle. Golden State went 23-43 during the lockout shortened 2011-12 season, but then Jackson made good on his promise to improve the team’s defense

and make the Warriors a playoff contender. They went 47-35 in 2012-13, advancing to the Western Conference semifinals in their first playoff appearance since 2007. The Warriors improved to 51-31 in 2013-14, their first 50win season in two decades, but they were knocked out of the playoffs in the first round, falling in seven games to the Clippers. Jackson was fired after compiling a record of 121-109 (.526) over three seasons. The Warriors thanked Jackson for helping them become a playoff team, but they brought in Steve Kerr to replace him. They said they felt they needed someone else to help them win an NBA championship, a feat they achieved the following season. Lacob had more to say in December 2014 when he spoke at a luncheon for venture capitalists.

Aaron Boone tossed in Yankees’ loss to Blue Jays Erik Boland Newsday

TORONTO — The Yankees 11-game winning streak came to an end Wednesday night in a 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Aaron Boone wasn’t around to see the end of it. The Yankees manager, irate at a pair of borderline called strikes on Aaron Judge during an eighth-inning at-bat, was thrown out by plate umpire Marty Foster, the pair going nose-tonose in a heated discussion before Boone eventually left the field. The Yankees (18-7), still with the Majors’ best record even after the loss, did not get sparked by the ejection -- Boone’s second this season and 19th overall as manager -- though they did make it interesting in the ninth (Judge struck out to end the eighth). Jordan Romano allowed back-to-back oneout singles to Giancarlo Stanton -- who was replaced by pinch runner Tim Locastro -- and Josh Donaldson. Romano, struck out Aaron Hicks swinging but walked Joey Gallo, who homered in the third, to load the bases for Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The shortstop, among the Yankees’ hottest hitters the last three weeks, grounded to third, allowing Romano to record his 12th save, which allowed the second-place Blue Jays (16-10) to avoid getting swept (the Yankees challenged the bang-bang last play at first, which was confirmed). The Yankees, the eighth-inning fireworks aside with Foster, were not done in by the umpiring. They simply did not hit against Toronto lefty Yusei Kikuchi and four Blue Jays relievers. Nestor Cortes Jr., who came in 1-0 with a 1.31 ERA, was not sharp but still allowed just

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone (17) argues pitch calls with home plate umpire Marty Foster before being ejected from the game in the eighth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on Wednesday.

two runs and four hits in his four innings. He walked four and struck out three. Michael King, well on his way to an All-Star bid as a reliever if this kind of performance continues, struck out three over three perfect innings in relief, lowering his ERA to 0.51. The Yankees, held to five hits, went 0-for-8

with runners in scoring position and stranded seven. After Kikuchi struck out two Yankees in a perfect 13-pitch top of the second, the Blue Jays took the lead in the bottom half when Matt Chapman crushed a full-count cutter to dead center, his fifth homer making it 1-0.

It didn’t take long for the Yankees to tie it. Gallo, back in the lineup after missing three straight games having been pulled Saturday night in Kansas City with tightness in his left groin, led off the third by hammering a firstpitch, 95-mph fastball to left, his third homer tying it at 1-1. The Blue Jays retook the lead in the bottom half, rallying with two outs in what would be a 31- pitch inning. After striking out Bradley Zimmer and Springer to start the inning, Cortes allowed a Bo Bichette double, the shortstop’s fifth hit of the series to that point. Vlad Guerrero Jr. fell behind 0-and-2 before reaching into the lower part of the strike zone and lining a 92-mph fastball to center, the RBI single making it 2-1. The Yankees blew a good scoring chance in the sixth. Kyle Higashioka, off to a 6-for-45 (.133) start at the plate, led off with a double and went to second on LeMahieu’s groundout to second. But Judge took a called third strike on a borderline full-count pitch that appeared low and Rizzo fouled out to third. Kikuchi, who came in 0-1 with a 5.52 ERA, allowed one run and three hits over six innings in which he walked one and struck out seven. Righthander David Phelps, drafted and developed by the Yankees, took over in the seventh and got the first batter he faced, Stanton, to ground out. But after back-to-back walks to Josh Donaldson and Aaron Hicks, Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo brought on the only lefty in his bullpen, Tim Mayza, to face Gallo. Mayza struck out Gallo swinging at a 1-and-2 slider, then got Kiner-Falefa to ground to third.

Rory McIlory, once a carefree phenom, has grown into the conscience of golf Barry Svrluga The Washington Post

Rory McIlroy tapped at his last putt in an early morning pro-am at TPC Potomac on Wednesday, and the serenade followed. “Happy Birthday, dear Rory,” sang the fans along the ropes and the players in his group. On Father’s Day 11 years ago, at the course across the street from here - venerable Congressional Country Club - he won his first major, the U.S. Open, as a strutting, preening 22-year-old bachelor. As of Wednesday, he is 33, a husband and a father himself. He is not just the most significant star in a relatively weak field at this week’s Wells Fargo Championship. He is nothing short of the conscience of his sport. He can address questions about the direction of the game. He can address questions about the ethical consequences of partaking in a potential rival to the PGA Tour that’s backed by Saudi blood money. He can address questions, as he did on Wednesday, about how the tour should reimagine the fall segment of its schedule. He will be thoughtful and reasoned and honest about them all. “Like, if I had been asked that question 10 years ago, I would have been like, ‘What are you talking about?’” he said Wednesday. “I just want to go play golf and make birdies.”

So easy as a kid in your early 20s. Much harder as a man moving toward your mid-30s. There is a full-circle nature to McIlroy’s appearance here that is obvious, because his accomplishment at Congressional seemed transcendent: a dominant, wire-towire victory in which he shot four rounds in the 60s all, posted the lowest total and lowest score in relation to par in U.S. Open history, and officially put behind a calamitous collapse at the Masters just two months earlier. It presented as a preview of what would surely be a run of majors thereafter. “I still to this day think it’s the best week of golf I’ve ever played in my life,” McIlroy said. “The ball was on a string that week, and you wish you could bottle that every single week that you play. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, but I think that’s still the benchmark of how I can play.” Even all these years on, McIlroy re-watches the broadcasts from that week. If an eight-shot victory in which he was never even remotely in danger of not losing the tournament can have a signature moment, it came Sunday at Congressional’s par-3 10th. Y.E. Yang, McIlroy’s partner in the final group, struck his tee shot to maybe six feet. Rory’s response: Throw it behind the flag, have it trickle back past Yang’s ball, and nearly hole it. Ballgame.

But in those reviews of that week, there’s not a single swing or hole on which McIlroy puts his focus. “Just sort of how free-flowing it was, and how at ease I looked,” he said. “Just sort of how comfortable I was with everything.” So in those viewings, there’s some searching for that freedom that came with youth. McIlroy could retire before Thursday’s first round here - he’s the defending champion at a tournament that is normally held in Charlotte - and have a career résumé that is unassailable: 32 wins around the world, including four majors. But he remains a Masters short of the career grand slam, a point that was driven home when he closed with a 64 last month to finish second to Scottie Scheffler at Augusta National. It’s still stunning to think that his most recent major came eight years ago, his second PGA Championship. So as he has evolved and matured - a natural process for anyone between 22 and 33, be they golfer or greenskeeper - there’s a pursuit to rediscover what made him who he was that week at Congressional. Wednesday afternoon, he was headed back over to see the Blue Course, because the club gave him an honorary membership and he wanted to get his eyes on the renovations. “As a member, I think it’s only right I go over and at least show my face,” he joked.

Maybe just being on the grounds would rekindle something within. McIlroy spoke before the Masters of going through a stretch where he was “playing golf swing rather than playing golf.” Watch those old swings from Congressional, and there was nothing even remotely technical or mechanical about them. The best version of Rory McIlroy is fluid and flowing, instinctual and creative. So he is straddling two worlds, trying to find the best golf of his youth while being one of the game’s statesmen, even if he’s not yet elder. He, more than anyone, spoke critically of Phil Mickelson’s crass remarks regarding using the Saudi-backed league as leverage against the PGA Tour, even as Mickelson acknowledged the murderous regime of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He has scolded the sport’s governing bodies - the U.S. Golf Association and the R&A - for wastefully and narrow-mindedly investigating how to control how far the golf ball flies, a report that pertains to “0.1 percent of the golfing community.” He played his pro-am Wednesday with four Black golfers who came up through the grass roots First Tee program and played at historically Black colleges and universities, and understood the significance in a mostly White sport. His word carries weight, no matter the subject. “He’s proven himself on the golf

course,” said Webb Simpson, a former U.S. Open champ who serves with McIlroy on the tour’s player advisory committee. “I think he’s proven himself off the golf course. He’s a leader, I think, for us in a lot of ways. Very articulate, and he’s been a global player for a long time now, so I think his opinions matter. ... “He’s certainly a guy who I think has been fun to listen to because he’s not just going to give you the right answers. He’s going to give you what he thinks.” What he thinks, as he turns 33, is far different than what he thought at 22. “It is something I’ve had to learn,” McIlroy said. “It’s not something I’ve always been interested in, but I think it’s something that is pretty important - especially where the game is right now, making sure it’s headed in the right direction.” That’s both the sport as a whole, and his game specifically. Rory McIlroy’s best week of golf came as a kid on a course right across the street from where he’s playing this week. As he pursues that feeling and form again, he does so as the sport’s deepest, most developed and most eloquent voice. There’s accomplishment in that, whether he wins zero or 10 more majors.

Woman feels mistreated by disrespectful daughter Dear Abby, I have a daughter, “Molly,” who is in her late 30s. Her father and I divorced when she was an infant, and I raised her, with help from my family, until I remarried. Her father had visitation and paid child support, but that’s where it ended. Throughout DEAR ABBY Molly’s life, I have taken care of all medical expenses, extracurricular activities, etc., and I sacrificed so she could have what she needed. The problem I’m having is that she treats me badly, while her father, his family, her husband’s family and members of my family are put on a pedestal. The disrespectful way she talks to me and her superior attitude have sent me into depression. She doesn’t answer texts or return my phone calls unless she feels like it or wants something. There’s the possibility that I’ll be coming into some money soon, and I have been thinking about changing my will and not leaving her anything. I am seeing a therapist to figure out why I can’t tell her how much her words and actions hurt me. I love Molly very much, but I don’t like her. Shouldn’t she be the one in therapy to figure out why she treats me this way? Mistreated Mom In Georgia

discover she has a sudden change of attitude. If the money comes through, I hope you will spend that windfall on things you enjoy — travel, cultural events, all the activities you missed out on while sacrificing for Molly. You deserve it; she doesn’t. Please tell your therapist I said so. I’m quite sure your therapist will agree.

People don’t usually seek therapy unless they are hurting, as you are. Don’t waste your time waiting for her to seek help for something she doesn’t think is a problem. Your daughter is fine with the status quo because you haven’t drawn the line and demanded to be treated with consideration. I don’t know if she’s aware that you are about to come into money, but when she finds out, you may

You and your girlfriend should discuss this with the cat’s veterinarian to find out if the animal’s behavior is age-related and can’t be controlled or a behavioral problem that can be corrected. Please don’t wait to do it! You have my sympathy.

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Dear Abby, I renovated and moved into my girlfriend’s house a year ago, to the tune of $80,000. We have been together 12 years and agreed that although neither of us wants to remarry, we should stop paying two mortgages because we are nearing retirement and should save money. She has an old cat that is peeing all over the house. She says, “What do you want me to do about it?” I’m asking her to help me figure something out, but after more than a year of dealing with her cat peeing on everything from my children’s beds to the carpets, nothing has changed. What can I say to get through to her that this is ruining our home and potentially getting people sick? I can’t have guests over because of the smell. Frustrated Over The Feline

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you always seem to know just what to do to keep problems at bay, and others seek out your company and counsel for precisely this reason. The inconvenient fact, however, is that when a problem does arise, you are far less adept at addressing it, and that’s when you will need to turn to others for guidance — but, fortunately, you are not so proud that you consider this a bad option. When it’s necessary to ask for help, you do so. Your understanding of what makes other people tick, and your beliefs about human needs, desires and behaviors, can be rather unconventional — even controversial. But you honor those beliefs by remaining open to whatever you see before you day after day; it’s experience, not books, that tells you what’s what more often than not. Also born on this date are: George Clooney, actor and director; Tom Bergeron, TV host; Sigmund Freud, psychologist and author; Willie Mays, baseball player; Bob Seger, singer; Stewart Granger, actor. 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. SATURDAY, MAY 7 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may have to get some advice from someone who has “been there, done that” before you’re confident that you can deal with a stubborn issue. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You are after something that is desired just as much by someone close to you. Consider going for it together and sharing the benefits if you can.

If so, a friend can help! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You can provide more than someone has asked for today, but take care you don’t make a habit of it, or you may soon run out of energy or resources. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You can make things much clearer for those who are in over their heads at this time. In the process, you’ll learn a thing or two yourself! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You may be asked a question today that requires you to dig up some information that is possibly outdated. Use it if you can!

The bidding:

Today’s deal is from a tournament in Europe some years ago. No North-South pair bid and made six hearts on these cards. Two pairs bid to seven hearts, but neither declarer took all 13 tricks. Barry Jones (no relation), of Wales, gives us the winning solution. Think about it yourself before reading further. South wins the opening heart lead in hand with the king, leads a club to dummy’s ace, and ruffs a diamond. A club to dummy’s queen is followed by another diamond ruff. A spade to dummy’s ace allows South to ruff another diamond with his remaining heart, the jack. South next ruffs a club with dummy’s 10 of hearts, setting up the club suit, and draws trumps with dummy’s ace and queen of hearts as he discards two low spades from his hand. South proudly claims the last three tricks with the king of spades and the king-10 of clubs. Was that so hard? The problem with deals like this is that declarer will naturally start thinking about ruffing losers in dummy rather than ruffing losers in his hand. Both approaches are equally effective and timing the play is the most important thing.
