The legalization of marijuana will pose new opportunities for New York farmers, but some are questioning how a new state management board slated to set thresholds and make decisions to impact the cannabis-growing industry and local agriculture.

New York became the 15th state Wednesday to legalize recreational marijuana sales and adult use for people ages 21 and older after Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act. The law immediately allows New Yorkers to legally possess up to 3 ounces of marijuana.

Recreational marijuana sales may begin after April 1, 2022, but dispensaries and retailers are expected to open in the state in about 18 months.

Some farmers are waiting to get in on the action of growing the newly approved crop.

Jerry Peele, of Herondale Farm in Ancramdale, has a

permit to grow hemp and has been growing the crop for the past two years.

“We have very good yields,” he said. “It’s been pretty mixed in terms of sales of the end product. The first year, we did pretty well because we had a contract with a processor.”

Peele struggled to

obtain contracts before last year’s growing season, and sell the product in the region.

“There was a bit of a glut of product at the end of 2019,” he explained. “We decided to grow some, but not as much as we grew the first year, and it has See POT A2

City considers selling code enforcement office

By Aliya Schneider Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — Common Council President Thomas DePietro is considering putting 429 Warren St., which houses the city’s code enforcement office and has unused space on its second and third floors, on the market.

The three-story building is used only by the code enforcement department, Superintendent of Public Works Robert Perry said Wednesday.

The code enforcement department has one full-time employee: code enforcement officer Craig Haigh, and three part-time employees: two parttime code officers and one parttime clerk, Haigh said Wednesday.

There are empty apartments

on the second and third floor and an empty office front on the ground floor, to the right of the code enforcement department entrance, where the city court used to be, DePietro said Wednesday. The area was connected to the former police department next door at 427 Warren St., DePietro said.

The 429 Warren St. building has a City Court Clerks Office sign on its exterior.

The building is not American with Disabilities Act-compliant, DePietro said. The code enforcement office entrance requires going up stairs.

The .07 acre property’s 2020 assessment was $570,000, according to property records.

The city purchased 429 Warren St., for $95,000, from Frank Scorzello and John Dionisio, of

White Plains, on April 5, 1995, city clerk Tracy Delaney said Wednesday. The building was purchased to provide additional space for Hudson City Court, according to a July 19, 1994 resolution.

Then-mayor Richard Scalera said two apartments in the building would be rented to offset the cost of the building, and any additional space would be turned over to the police department, according to July 19, 1994, meeting minutes.

The code enforcement department was located in City Hall, 520 Warren St., before moving to 429 Warren St., Delaney said. She could not say when the department moved to 429 Warren St. The 429 Warren St. See OFFICE A2

actually proved quite difficult to sell the product.”

Peele is researching obtaining a license to grow marijuana and what it would cost to maintain both the hemp and cannabis ventures.

“The question will be, can we do both at the same time with what we have in terms of the size of the operation and whether they can both be viable businesses,” he said. “It’s very early days and everything is under consideration for us at this point.”

Others are less optimistic Wednesday’s legalization will help the local economy or agricultural industry.

Former farmer Eric deLong owned Foxtail Community Farm in Greenville, which closed down about three years ago, and cast doubt the legalization will help local farmers who run smaller operations.

“My understanding in Colorado is it very quickly became a large-scale commercial production where they thought perhaps small farmers might be able to create a niche in the growing of hemp and marijuana and they were quickly out-competed by large corporations,” deLong said. “There are no small farmers legally growing marijuana, so it won’t hurt them in that respect, but I don’t think [legalization] will help them.

Probably, the state is saying this will create income for smallscale farmers, but I don’t see

Torres, Venuska TranbergBennett, Svenia TranbergBennett, Tevania TranbergBennett and Petrevena Tranberg-Bennett all pleaded guilty Dec. 18 to endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor, in relation to the 2019 death of the girl.

The girl, who was identified by Sussman after the sentencing, was pronounced dead Dec. 6, 2019. Three days earlier she was found unresponsive by emergency medical technicians with the Chatham Rescue Squad.

The girl was brought from her home to Columbia Memorial Health in Hudson and was then transferred to Albany Medical Center on Dec. 5, 2019, when she went into cardiac arrest.

Doctors and nurses attempted to revive the girl but were unsuccessful.

The child had been

showing symptoms of pneumonia and end-stage kidney disease, according to court papers.

All of the defendants admitted they were responsible for the care of the child at all relevant times, according to the Columbia County District Attorney’s Office.

They were also aware of her illness and progressive symptoms, including, ultimately, swelling of her feet, legs and abdomen, and that they did not contact emergency personnel or take the child to a doctor or hospital in a timely manner, according to the district attorney’s office.

The family had initially been arraigned on a charge of second-degree manslaughter, a class C felony, in connection with the girl’s death.

They pleaded not guilty.

that happening.”

New York Farm Bureau representatives have yet to comment on the state’s legalization of marijuana on Wednesday.

“We haven’t taken a position on the bill, pro or con,” said Steve Ammerman, New York Farm Bureau spokesman.

“Ultimately, we do hope farmers who are interested in diversifying have the ability to take advantage of the crops if they so choose and have some say in terms of how the growing of it is regulated, but on the bill, itself, we didn’t take a position.”

Hemp and cannabis for recreational marijuana are separate crops. Growing THC cannabis, or cannabis with marijuana’s psychoactive chemical that causes a person to feel high, requires different licenses and regulations. The Office of Cannabis Management and Cannabis Advisory Board will decide several details, including how much of the crop a farm can grow.

“Those who grow hemp may not necessarily grow adult-use cannabis,” Ammerman said.

“They may choose to look into that possibility. It is all going to depend on the regulations and the testing and how production is monitored, so that is something that we will be paying close attention to as those regulations start rolling out.”

Mark Leifer, of Mayfair Farms in Ashland, which produces horse hay, has a registered state permit to grow hemp, but hasn’t used it.

“We applied for the permit, but we haven’t done anything with it; We were going to play

with it, but it’s tough,” Leifer said. “There is no market in the area, so if you are going to do it, you have to come up with some kind of value-added end product that you can make from it.”

Leifer does not intend to expand his farm to grow THC cannabis.

Hemp can be used to make products such as clothing, rope, salad dressing or facial oils and others, but processors are few and far between.

“In order to process it, I believe the nearest place is in Kentucky...I think, so it’s difficult to justify switching my equipment over in order to make it happen,” he said. “I research it up and down, right and left, and I just can’t justify spending the money to retool — you need different equipment than what I have.”

Michael Veeder, owner of Veeder Tree Farm in Coxsackie, does not plan on entering the hemp or cannabis market.

“We just sell Christmas trees and are open two months out of the year around Christmastime, so this does not affect us,” he said.

The new law creates a number of different licenses to grow, cultivate, process or distribute recreational cannabis, including nurseries and microbusinesses, among others, to be evaluated by the new Office of Cannabis Management and the Cannabis Control Board.

The Office of Cannabis Management will evaluate license applicants through a variety of metrics, including social equity status, commitment to environmentally sound policies, public

health and fair labor practices, according to a statement from Senate bill sponsor Sen. Liz Krueger, D-Manhattan.

The Cannabis Advisory Board will be responsible for approving grants from the Community Reinvestment Fund make policy recommendations and report on the state of the cannabis program.

The agencies were established under the law to regulate the industry and will consist of five members, three appointed by the governor, and one appointment by each of house of the Legislature. The Senate will confirm the board’s chairperson. The governor will appoint an executive director to be confirmed by the Senate and a chief equity officer subject to approval by at least four members of the board.

NY Cannabis Growers and Processors Association President Allan Gandelman owns Main Street Farms in Cortland — a 200-acre organic vegetable farm that sells its crops to farmers markets, schools and wholesale to New York City.

Gandelman, who grows 35 acres of hemp and makes inhouse CBD products, is ecstatic to enter the cannabis-growing industry.

“We also plan on taking our THC and turning it into other products like tinctures and things that we’ll also be able to sell to the dispensaries.”

Gandelman is eyeing licenses to grow the THC crop in both greenhouses and outdoors. The state licenses range in cost from $500 for farmers to apply and up to $5,000 for processors.

Perry said.

DePietro declined to share the other idea. He hopes to have a plan in the next two or three months.

Haigh is uncertain about what he thinks of relocating until he has more information.

“I am unsure about another building until I know where and the amount of space we will have,” Haigh said.

The code enforcement office’s long-term home depends largely on what the city decides for the future of City Hall, DePietro said.

A settlement between the city and the U.S. Department of Justice requires City Hall to become ADA-compliant, which it is not at this time.

An August 2019 study, which was revised a year later by Lacey Thaler Reilly Wilson Architecture & Preservation, LLP, identified four different plans to renovate City Hall to make it accessible. Two of the options are not suitable for the city because they do not provide accessible bathroom facilities, Mayoral Aide and ADA Coordinator Michael Chameides said.

The third option would

include ADA-accessible entrances, restrooms and a ramp to the council chamber.

The fourth option would make City Hall fully ADA-compliant and include a rear addition and has a cost estimate of $3,141,000 in the study. This option would make space for the code enforcement department at 520 Warren St., DePietro said.

The city’s plan for the building has to be approved by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The Galvan Foundation brought another option to the table Jan. 28 by offering to give the city its 400 State St. building, the former library, to use for City Hall. The foundation would also provide a $1 million development grant. The offer was proposed in exchange for the cityowned lot at Washington and N. Seventh St., but the land swap is not being considered, DePietro

said Feb. 8. The rest of the offer still stands, Dan Kent, Galvan vice president of initiatives, said.

DePietro needs to discuss logistics with the foundation more before the council makes any decisions about 400 State St., he said.

seven defendants Thursday.

He said the affidavit and PSI were filed on Feb. 16, 2021.

In court Thursday, Sussman said there had been items taken from the family’s home when search warrants were issued during the investigation such as books, birth certificates and photographs that have sentimental value to the family. The family is asking those items to be returned with the investigation closed, Sussman said Thursday.

Koweek said he takes community service hours seriously. He said the defendants are required to fulfill their required hours by Sept. 1, 2021.

The hours must be served with a legitimate nonprofit organization such as a church,

fire department or other civic organization.

“The parents and relatives understood as they indicated that they might have done more on the date that Evanna passed and obviously for the family it’s a huge tragedy that they will never forget,” Sussman said after the sentencing.

“Beyond that we’re looking forward to family reunification.”

Sussman explained Steven Bennett and Heidi TranbergBennett have three children who have not been in there custody since Dec. 2019 and their daughter Venuska Tranberg-Bennett has four children who are not in the family’s custody. Sussmann said they are hoping the family’s reunification can occur in May. Parents Steven Bennett and Heidi Tranberg-Bennett and family members Cesar Ryan

apartments are not in good shape but can be renovated, DePietro said.

“The building is ripe for renovation and sale,” he said.

Former police chief Ellis Richardson had an office on the second floor of 429 Warren St., along with the police department senior account clerk, Perry said. Records stored on the third floor were moved out in the past year or two. The second floor offices appeared to be in a former bedroom and living room, and there is also a kitchen. Perry has not been on the third floor.

There are a couple of ideas about where the code enforcement department should be relocated with the sale of the building, but no details have been worked out, DePietro said.

One idea is to move the department into a temporary office, such as the ones used at construction sites.

The officer trailer could be installed behind the police station, City Hall or fire station,

Philmont cuts snow shoveling fees

By Aliya Schneider Columbia-Greene Media

PHILMONT — Following residents’ complaints about snow shoveling fees, the Philmont Village Board split the $4 per lineal foot fine in half, raising questions about board communication.

The board voted March 24 to change the fines to $2 per linear foot. The square footage is determined by tax maps, Deputy Clerk and Treasurer Christine Speed said Thursday.

Fifty-two people were fined between two storms this season for not shoveling the sidewalk in front of their Philmont property, Speed said. The fines totaled $8,580.

The village board received half a dozen letters complaining about the $4 per linear foot fine and about a dozen residents complained at the February and March board meetings, Speed said.

Resident Tomoko Gurbo, in a statement, called the fees expensive and criticized the village for not notifying residents about the fine.

Property owners and residents share the responsibility to shovel the sidewalk in front of their buildings within 24 hours after the snowfall ends, according to Local Law No. 1 of 2017, which amended the village code. The board sets the fee schedule and the village should record the amount of labor, equipment and

materials used in sidewalk snow removal.

The board approved a motion in January 2020 to make the fine $4 per linear foot, Speed said. The square footage is determined by the tax map for each parcel.

Board minutes are regularly posted for the public to see board decisions, she said.

While the $4 amount may not be evident to all residents, the responsibility to shovel sidewalks is clear, Speed said. The quarterly calendar January 2020 spells out the presence of fees, she said.

“It’s clearly spelled out there, it just doesn’t set the fee amount,” she said.

Signs in the village building tell residents about the shoveling responsibility, she said. She does not believe the law change was published in the paper.

Expecting the village to notify residents every time the law changes is “ignorance of the law,” Speed said. It would be impossible for municipalities to do so, she added.

“Some weren’t notified until they got their bill,” she said of the fine schedule.

Those who don’t use Facebook, where the clerk’s office posts updates, or those who don’t visit the village website, where the Facebook posts and meeting minutes can be accessed, can be out of the loop.

A Dec. 18, 2020, post from the Philmont Clerk/Treasurer announces an

extension of the shoveling rules, giving residents all weekend to clear sidewalks.

“The DPW will be out Monday morning clearing all sidewalks not cleared,” the post said. “At this point you will be billed the $4/lineal foot.”

There is no post about the shoveling fees for the February storm.

The village didn’t have a need to enforce the fines since the new fine was put in place until the Dec. 17, 2020 and Feb. 1, 2021, storms this season, Speed said.

During these storms, people were dangerously walking in the streets. Prior to that, residents and property owners were good about keeping sidewalks clear.

“It was very, very unsafe,” she said.

Philmont is refunding people who have already paid for this season’s storms at the $4 rate to make up the difference.

Prior to the January 2020 fine schedule being set, the Department of Public Works and police department issued fines that appeared before the court, Speed said. She does not know what the fine schedule was. A former village judge was known to dismiss all the snow shoveling fines prior to the board’s January 2020 motion, she said.

Village Trustee Debra Gitterman pointed to communication issues within the village at the March 24 board meeting. She suggested the board send email announcements about the upcoming meetings.

Mayor-elect Brian Johnson pushed back against the need for emailed announcements, saying the information is already published.

But that is not the point, Gitterman said.

“Do whatever you want to do,” Johnson said to Gitterman.

“No, I can’t do whatever I want to do,” Gitterman said. “We’re a board. I can only do what we all want to do.”

More issues could come from a lack of communication, such as snow removal fines, she said.

“Even if it’s legal, we’re not communicating in ways that people are receiving the information,” she said.

No matter how many avenues the board communicate information, people will complain they didn’t know, Village Trustee Douglas Cropper said.

“We do not need to defend ourselves against these people,” Cropper said.

Gitterman took issue with his wording.

“Against ‘these people?’” she said. “These are the people you’re representing. We are working for them.”

Johnson said the discussion was wasting meeting time and told Gitterman to do what she wants about the emails.

“You either send it or you don’t send it,” Johnson said. “I don’t really care.”

The village will be using email announcements following Gitterman’s suggestion, Speed said Thursday.

Philmont group eyes economic development opportunities

By Aliya Schneider Columbia-Greene Media

PHILMONT — A group of Philmont residents wants to bring promise to the village’s economic development opportunities.

The unofficial organization, Philmont Economic Development Group, has been meeting for a couple of months, member Jean Giblette said. Peter Johnson, a retired Princeton University professor, is the chairman.

Karen Davala, Jeff French and Susan Michie are also group members.

Giblette, who has lived in Philmont since 1990, asked the village board March 24 to recognize the group.

The group needs support from the trustees to become an official economic development committee and receive grants accordingly, Giblette said.

Mayor-elect Brian Johnson will appoint trustees to various committees at the April 5 organizational meeting, Village Trustee Douglas Cropper said.

Johnson will likely appoint an economic development representative on the board who can move forward with the committee if the board agrees to do so.

“We were aware that other towns and villages in the county were doing this and we were feeling a little bit left out,” Giblette said Tuesday.

A thorough assessment of local businesses hasn’t been done

in the past 25 years, she added.

“We decided that we wanted an emphasis on small business to see what is here, what might be here, what are the spaces, or what opportunities are here for a small business to relocate or develop,” she said.

The group identified 10 objectives in a document sent to the board: identify local market needs and opportunities for businesses; direct activities with other organizations involved in economic development in the area; identify investment and grant opportunities for the village and make recommendations to the board of trustees; promote Philmont’s potential for water power energy generation; compile an updated catalog of Main Street businesses for the village website; maintain and up-to-date inventory of commercial spaces in the village; foster networking among businesses; survey local businesses to identify unmet needs and compile findings as recommendations for the village board; recruit and assist small businesses to locate within the village; and create effective means to showcase local business successes.

Giblette advocated for Philmont revisiting its history of generating water power during her presentation to the board.

“The fact is, we have a huge asset here, which most other communities in New York don’t

Fund established to keep pets healthy

By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — Two Hudsonarea businessmen have created a fund to make sure no animal ever goes without food or medical treatment, Ron Perez, president and CEO of the ColumbiaGreene Humane Society, said Thursday.

Russ Gibson and Duncan Calhoun presented two checks to the Columbia-Greene Humane Society for the Zamboni Fund, which is a dedicated fund to support the shelter’s free Pet Food Bank and their low-cost veterinary clinic, Perez said.

The fund was created in memory of their beloved SharPei, Zamboni, who they adopted from the shelter in 2013.

“Zam,” as they called him, never stopped wagging his tail and brought joy and happiness to everyone he met. Zam filled their lives with unconditional love until his passing in 2020, Perez said.

Russ and Duncan, along with their Shar-Peis, Nick and Nora, presented a check for $50,000 to the humane society in March, which will be earmarked for the fund, Perez said.

The men have committed $175,000 for the fund, which will keep the shelter’s two services running. Their desire is to

encourage the public to contribute to the Zamboni Fund.

More than 40,000 pounds of pet food are distributed by the shelter’s pet food bank annually to area residents, who need assistance in feeding their pets.

More that 3,000 dogs and cats are served annually through the humane society’s low-cost veterinary clinic. The clinic provides a spay and neuter service, vaccinations, testing,

treatment of minor injuries and basic dental work.

Donations to the Zamboni Fund are tax deductible, and can only be used for the pet food bank or veterinary clinic.

For more information about the details of the fund, please contact Ron Perez at Columbia-Greene Humane Society at (518) 828-6044 ext. 108, or online at ronperez@cghs.org

have, and that is water power,” she said.

The group’s focus will be on small businesses, but its members would help the village investigate the potential for water power development.

The village is in danger of becoming a “nonprofit ghetto,” she said to the board.

Giblette is the founder of the High Falls Foundation nonprofit, coordinating a group of about 30 farms statewide that grow Chinese medicinal herbs, she said Tuesday. The nonprofit does not have an office.

“We are in danger of becoming a nonprofit ghetto, which is a very bad thing because it skews the tax burden to homeowners and it makes it so only rich people can live here,” she told the board. “I do not want to see that happen. I want to see the tax base broadened, and so the solution to that is to recruit, to find, recruit, identify small businesses that can come in here and work.”

Giblette wrote a letter to the editor Dec. 11, 2019, cosigned

by Tom Paino and Christopher Reed. The three Philmont residents and members of the High Falls Property Owners Association were appointed by the village to a steering committee of the Brownfield Opportunity Area Nomination Study, 2012-2018, for the economic

development of Philmont.

The letter criticizes the village for leasing public property to two nonprofit organizations for $1 on property the writers deemed dangerous.

“Are we so poor that we cannot exercise good business judgment?” according to the letter.

The BOA study produced hope for the village, according to the letter.

“The worst aspect of the Board’s decision is that it completely precludes the more appropriate, income and taxgenerating use of the space as

Hi Way DRIVE-IN

envisioned in the BOA,” it said.

“The potential for restoration of local green industry, jobs and taxpaying businesses has never been greater than now. Rather than continue its string of business failures or turn itself into a nonprofit ghetto, Philmont can act now to build on its unique physical assets and generate economic renewal that serves the needs of people right here in the village and county.”

OUR VIEW

Right time, right place for cannabis law

More than a year ago, pressure was placed on the state Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo to legalize recreational marijuana.

Then the COVID-19 epidemic reared its terrifying head, and state government had bigger problems to worry about.

Today the wait is over.

Recreational marijuana use for adults 21 years of age and older is legal in New York after Cuomo signed the bill Wednesday morning, hours after it was delivered to his desk. The measure immediately expunges previous marijuana-related convictions from New Yorkers’ records.

“This is a historic day in New York — one that rights the wrongs of the past by putting an end to harsh prison sentences, embraces an industry that will grow

the Empire State’s economy and prioritizes marginalized communities so those that have suffered the most will be the first to reap the benefits,” Cuomo said in a statement Wednesday after signing the bill. Further, the law will bring to an end decades of disproportionately targeting people of color under oppressive state and federal drug laws.

As with any state law, there are caveats, costs and timelines. Legalization won’t happen overnight. Recreational marijuana sales will begin after April 1, 2022. Dispensaries and retailers are expected to open in the state in about 18 months.

Legalization will include a 13% cannabis excise tax, with 4% split between the county of sale — 1% — and 3% slated for the municipality of the dispensary. Nine

percent of the sale price will go to the Cannabis Revenue Fund, which will be used to fund the Office of Cannabis Management and cover the costs of state agencies to apply and adapt to the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act. After administrative costs, 40% will go to the Community Grants Reinvestment Fund, 40% will support general education through the State Lottery Fund and 20% will be allocated to the Drug Treatment and Public Education Fund.

The state Legislature and the governor were right to act on this law, and the timing could not have been better. For a state still facing dismal economic forecasts including joblessness and big deficits, the MRTA is exactly what we need when we badly need it.

the face of unavoidable climate impacts), the priorities are sound. And insofar as it pays for itself, at least in part, by correcting unduly light business taxation, the plan strikes blows for both equality and fiscal responsibility.

The caveat - and it’s a significant one - is that there is a reason Biden’s predecessor Bill Clinton once felt constrained to declare “the era of big government is over.” And that is that the public grew disenchanted with Democratic policies of the 1960s and 1970s, sometimes justifiably. The enduring lesson from that experience is that government should do more - of what it does best. Government has a comparative advantage in providing public goods - education, training, roads, ports, basic research - which indeed figure largely in Biden’s plan.

When it comes to allocating investment capital, however - picking winners among alternative industries, companies, technologies and locations - the private sector ordinarily performs better.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Hudson should market bicycle tourism To the editor: Often, environmentalists describe the bicycle as a vehicle that can save the planet. After careful consideration, I have concluded that the bicycle is also an ideal vehicle to save Hudson from the economic damage inflicted by the pandemic on our small corner of the globe.

Bicycle tourism is big business in America. According to a study by the Outdoor Industry Association in 2017, estimated spending by bicycle tourists nationally totaled $97 billion ($83 billion in trip related spending and $14 billion in gear/accessories), supporting nearly 850,000 jobs. Likewise, the Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates that the outdoor recreation economy accounted for $459.8 billion of U.S. gross domestic product in 2019.

Locally, a new rail trail that can serve as a conduit for bicycle tourism was unveiled in Columbia County. The Albany Hudson Electric Trail links Hudson with Stottville, Stockport, Kinderhook, Valatie, Nassau, East Greenbush, and Albany.

As I was cycling a segment of

the trail on Harry Howard Avenue not long ago, I met two cyclists from Albany. They asked if there were any restaurants nearby where they could buy a cup of coffee, so I gave them directions to Warren Street.

These were the first bicycle tourists I’ve met on the trail in Hudson, and more are sure to follow, especially if the city were to market bicycle tourism vigorously. To begin the marketing process, I urge local officials to do two simple things.

First, an informational sign welcoming cyclists to Hudson should be erected on the bike path on Harry Howard Avenue.

The sign would direct cyclists to the Warren Street business district. In conjunction with the sign, the city would paint a bike lane from Harry Howard Avenue leading cyclists directly to the heart of the business district.

Second, the Tourism Board should hire a local graphic designer/publisher to create a brochure of loop bicycle tours from Hudson to scenic local destinations. For example, there would be a tour of the city’s architectural highlights, as well as rides from Hudson to Olana, to Art Omi, to the

Martin Van Buren National Historic Site and to Lake Taghkanic State Park. The brochure could be distributed online by the Columbia County Tourism Department, and printed copies could be distributed at bike stores, hotels, restaurants and the train station.

Of course, these small steps are only the beginning. The long-term goal would be for local hotels to establish a network of inn-to-inn bicycle tours in Columbia, Dutchess and Greene counties. The hotels would offer packages that included lodging, dining, bike rentals, boxed lunches, sag wagons and guided tours. Many jobs would be created in the process.

Over the years, I have enjoyed commercial bike tours in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France and Montana. Based on my experience, I firmly believe the Hudson Valley has the potential to be an international destination for cyclists. Accordingly, business owners, agency officials, and community members should unite to turn Hudson into a profitable mecca for bicycle tourism.

Gun stocks rise on record March FBI background checks Janet Freund and Bloomberg Automation Bloomberg News

Gunmakers Sturm Ruger and Smith & Wesson rose Thursday after the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) showed U.S. unadjusted criminal background checks rose 25% to a record in March from a year ago.

Unadjusted checks climbed to 4.69 million from 3.74 million in March 2020, and gained 36% from 3.44 million in February. Six days in March made the list of the top 10 highest days for background checks since 1998.

The week of March 15, 2021 to March 21, 2021 was the top background check week on

record, while March 22, 2021 to March 28, 2021 was the fourth best week.

Sturm Ruger climbed as much as 2.8%, while Smith & Wesson added 3.8%.

While gun sales aren’t tracked in the U.S., NICS data is considered a proxy for sales by the firearms industry. A background check doesn’t mean a gun sale occurred.

(Michael Bloomberg, the majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News, founded and helps fund Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit that advocates for universal background checks and other gun violence prevention measures.)

NY budget to pass late as negotiations continue

ALBANY — The state budget deadline came and went at midnight Thursday without a passed spending plan for New York’s 2021-22 Fiscal Year as negotiations continue to face challenges amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Three of the state’s 10 traditional budget bills were dropped Thursday afternoon.

Lawmakers passed the debt service bill late Wednesday night, but have not debated or voted on the other measures as of press time.

The Assembly submitted a $208.3 billion budget proposal — up from $177 billion last year — and slated nearly $6.7 billion in new tax increases, rising to $8.1 billion in 2022, including three income tax rate hikes.

Negotiations could easily continue through next week.

State Budget Director Rob Mujica suggested the budget would not be completed by its April 1 deadline on an exclusive NY1 interview Wednesday morning.

“We’re going to get it done, yes,” he said in response to a question about a timely passage, but would not say when. “...The overall financial plan always has to get settled at the end.”

Budget representatives would not say when the remaining budget bills will be released, how long it is expected to take to pass the budget and sticking points as legislative leaders continue to talk.

“Budget negotiations are ongoing,” state Budget Division spokesman Freeman Klopott said in a statement Wednesday night.

The potential tax increases and nursing home reform, including a bill setting a minimum amount that for-profit facilities must spend to reinvest back into the residence and patient care, are likely sticking points as discussions continue.

Gov. Cuomo has spoken out against proposed tax increases on New York millionaires and billionaires for several years, but supports a federal tax hike on the nation’s wealthy.

The Senate and Assembly budget proposals include a 1% tax on capital gains income and want to increase the top income tax rate from 8.82% to 9.85% for single filers who earn more than $1 million, couples who file jointly earning more than $2 million and adding additional tax brackets for higher earners.

The tax increases will depend on household income over $2 million; or between $5 million and $25 million; or over $25 million annually. That tax alone is projected to raise $4.3 billion.

“So where we focused on is, what do we need to fund? What are the top priorities?” Mujica said. “A lot of these are onetime costs to deal with the recovery, and as we recover, the need for some of these items go away, and then there are recurring items. That’s what we’re working on with the Legislature right now. But again, there is a tipping point. We don’t know exactly what that is.

We know a lot of New Yorkers have left New York. We know that the unemployment rate right now is relatively high. And whatever we do on the tax side, we want to make sure, right, that we’re striking that balance

with funding the items for the recovery, but at the same time, not discouraging job growth and not discouraging those jobs from coming back to New York.”

The state will receive about $12.6 billion in federal coronavirus relief over the next several years, leaving a $2.5 billion revenue shortfall of the projected $15 billion hole.

“Last year, following the federal decision to push the income tax payment by three months to July, the state borrowed $4.5 billion to ensure we had the resources to fund critical services and support New Yorkers through the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Gov. Cuomo said in a statement Wednesday. “Our borrowing was on a short-term basis, and with a $1 billion payment made in December 2020 and a $3.5 billion payment made today, we have paid all of it back as promised.

“This is a result of the disciplined approach this administration has brought to New York’s finances during the last decade and the flexibility it built into our budget as we confronted the worst economic crisis in a generation.”

Cuomo has not answered questions with reporters or held an open public appearance this week in the wake of a number of scandals surrounding the governor and his administration that continue to emerge.

Budget talks and negotiations have persisted seamlessly without issues, Mujica said, adding “we’ve been meeting with the Legislature all day, all night.”

Earlier this month, legislative leaders questioned how the budget process would proceed while Gov. Andrew Cuomo participates in multiple state investigations, and federal probe into multiple scandals, including the state’s alleged underreporting of thousands of COVID-19 nursing home deaths and nine women accusing him of sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior.

“The governor’s been having calls with the leaders regularly, so, it’s no different than any other budget year, except this is probably one of the most complicated budgets in my career, and I’ve been doing this for over 20 years,” Mujica said. “The complication is, you know, not being in the same rooms as a result of

COVID, having to do things remotely. That obviously adds to the complexity of the negotiations.”

Republicans in the Senate and Assembly have been all but excluded from the budget process and negotiations, top GOP leaders said Wednesday.

Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay, R-Pulaski, pleaded for more transparency, saying Republican representatives read and see finalized fiscal measures or policy when the documents are released to the public.

“We feel very strongly we have a lot to add to this program,” Barclay said of minority input. “I think it’s going to be very difficult to have an on-time budget. The idea of getting it done [by April 1] is a bit of a stretch, but we’re here and we’re willing to work. Once again, we’re going to have to depend on messages of necessity instead of having public input on this stuff.”

Members of either minority conference are typically not heavily considered in state budget discussions, but Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt, RNorth Tonawanda, said communication with Democrats in the majority has grown more distant during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I have not had a lot of great revealing communication with the majority,” Ortt said.

“It would be much better if we were involved in these negotiations. We’d still be outvoted, I’d suspect, but at least we’d be i the room and be able to express the views of our constituents and our members.”

Lawmakers have held remote session, committee meetings, hearings and other governmental businesses with Zoom and other digital platforms since the coronavirus pandemic started in the state in March 2020.

“I do think it lends itself more to secrecy — to less transparency in a place that was already pretty good at secrecy and no transparency to begin with,” Ortt said.

“I think it would take a minor miracle to declare [the budget] on time,” he added. “I’m sure they’ll declare it on time even if they pass it next month. ... But we’ll dig through and we’ll get briefed, and I guarantee our members will be on the floor ready to question and debate these bills intelligently, ready to do the job they’re elected to do to the best of their ability.”

Man accused of attacking D.C. police officer with stun gun Rachel Weiner The Washington Post

WASHINGTON - A California man was arrested Wednesday and charged with attacking a D.C. police officer with an electroshock weapon during the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Daniel Rodriguez, 38, of Fontana, Calif., is also accused of smashing a window of the Capitol and stealing an emergency escape hood designed to protect lawmakers against chemical munitions.

The charge of assaulting

a police officer with a deadly weapon carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

While the documents use only the initials “M.F.,” a spokeswoman for D.C. police confirmed that the injured officer was Michael Fanone.

Fanone, 40, told The Washington Post in January that after being dragged down the steps of the Capitol, he was shocked with a stun gun and drifted in and out of consciousness. He said he heard members of the mob urging others to kill him with his own gun. Terrified, the

father of four girls told the violent mob that he was a father.

“I thought, maybe, I could appeal to somebody’s humanity,” he said.

Fanone later learned that he had suffered a mild heart attack.

“I was pulled into the crowd, and I remember hearing people yelling, you know, ‘We got one!’ “ he recalled.

The Washington Post’s Peter Hermann contributed to this report.

Cuomo’s executive budget prioritizes a $325 billion rebuilding program, funding universal broadband, rent relief and nursing home reform.

Cuomo, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, D-Bronx; and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D-Yonkers; have each discussed potential revenue raisers to help bridge the gap, including increased taxes for millionaires and billionaires and the legalization of mobile sports betting.

Lawmakers voted to pass recreational marijuana in the state Tuesday outside the budget. Gov. Cuomo, who included legalization in his last three executive budget proposals, signed the measure into law Wednesday morning.

“The recovery is going to take some time,” Mujica said.

“The Legislature had about $7 billion in revenue increases in their proposed budget which included a lot of spending that’s focused on the recovery and I think everyone’s focus is the recovery and making sure that we fund the items to help New Yorkers, at the same time striking a balance so that we don’t reach a tipping point where instead of helping with the recovery we’re actually harming it.”

On display in TSL’s renovated indoor gallery space. Works by artists Kico Govantes, Marine Penvern, and Joy Wolf.

MASKS REQUIRED. Register at www.timeandspace.org/ gallery for a tour (free admission).

Works for sale.

Artist Bios: ENRIQUE (KICO) GOVANTES was born in 1957 in Havana, Cuba. His family moved to Miami in 1960. His grandfather was Chief Architect and Ministro de Trabajos Públicos of Havana for over forty years. Kico attended Beloit College, graduating in 1980. He also studied architecture and sculpture at Rhode Island School of Design. having painted since the age of 10, Kico has exhibited regularly both in San Francisco and on the East Coast.

Among the public awards won was the prestigious 1996 Kiosk ProjectMarket Street in San Francisco. He is represented in several public collections, among them the Stanford University Art Museum. In his work he often combines meditation and storytelling as well as using words with images, in part to connect to his Spanish roots, and in part to combine emotional/psychological concepts with visual characterizations.

MARINE PENVERN is a French-born artist, mother, an adopted child of New York City, a citizen of the world,and a resident of the Hudson Valley. She is multi-dimensional in her approach to living and working.

She often says, “Life is work is life, and only when there is passion and love.” Her body of work consists of paintings and clothing designs.

Marine Penvern has recently moved her family to Hudson, NY, where she opened her Atelier/store where she showcases and sells her designs and art work (marinepenvern.com).

JOY WOLF is an anthropologist.

She wanted adventure, so never thought of being an artist. She spent two years conducting her doctoral research in Nepal, taught at a number of universities in Boston and Virginia, and spent fifteen years doing research and analysis in a dozen African countries for the State Department. Then she did the same thing that her father had done when he retired: she started painting. First, she painted her horses and the cows along the roads in rural Virginia. Now she and her husband live in Catskill, NY and she tries to paint light.

donation,” Patkus said. “Eric was a longtime member of the Vassar community, and the collection not only expands our holdings of Eric’s work but also provides important documentation of, and perspective on, the Hudson Valley.”

Esmeralda Santiago is a Puerto Rican author and a founding mother of Nuyorican literature. She is the author of three memoirs, including the bestseller When I Was Puerto Rican, Almost a Woman, and The Turkish Lover, along with two novels and a children’s book.

Passion Fruit Dance Company is a New York based street/ club dance theater and educational company, founded, directed and choreographed by Tatiana Desardouin with core members Mai Lê Hô and Lauriane Ogay to promote the authenticity of street and clubbing dance styles, therefore celebrating black culture and their contribution to the society, highlighting and exploring different

social issues throughout their Desardouin pieces. Using the prism of Hip-Hop and House cultures and through different socially engaged art projects, the company provides tools for communities and generations in their healing process, or simply to those in search of a release outlet and confidence building environment, by using “Passion Fruit Seeds”- a teaching program, designed for that purpose

and a multisensory experience within a cultural party called “Les 5 Sens”.

The company has performed at The Apollo Theater, Summerstage, Jacob’s Pillow, the New Victory Theater, BAAD!Theater, Harlem Stage, selected by Pepatián for “Dance Your Future: Artist & mentor collaboration residency”, LOHH, Joe’s Pub, 92Y, Dance Place and abroad ( Canada ( MTL) at the M.A.I. for the 100LUX festival and Switzerland (Neuchâtel) at the Outside Festival) etc. They also co-choreographed and are featured in two commercials for Credo Beauty.

Mets and Francisco Lindor agree to 10-year extension worth $341 million Chelsea Janes The Washington Post

Not long before midnight marked the arrival of their Opening Day deadline, the New York Mets and recently acquired shortstop Francisco Lindor agreed to a 10-year, $341 million contract extension that will keep Lindor in Queens through 2032, according to a person familiar with the deal. The Mets are scheduled to open

their season in Washington in a nationally televised game with the covid-stricken Nationals on Thursday night.

The deal is the third-largest ever in terms of total value, trailing only Mike Trout and Mookie Betts’s deals with the Angels and Dodgers, respectively. Lindor earned $1 million more in total value (over four fewer seasons) than Fernando Tatis Jr., the up-and-coming Padres

Final Four takeaways: Gonzaga chases history, while three teams chase Gonzaga John Feinstein The Washington Post

When the dust finally cleared at midnight on Tuesday, what will be known as the Pandemic Final Four had two No. 1 seeds, a No. 2 and a Cinderella . . . sort of.

It is awfully difficult to close one’s eyes and envision those who wear the baby blue uniforms of UCLA being fitted for glass sneakers.

After all, the Bruins have won more men’s basketball national championships than anyone 11 - and are the only team in this Final Four to win as many as one.

Gonzaga, now 30-0 in pursuit of the sport’s first perfect season since 1976, has reached one Final Four, losing in the 2017 national title game. Houston made five Final Fours under Hall of Fame coach Guy V. Lewis between 1967 and 1984, losing most famously to North Carolina State in 1983 s championship game on Lorenzo Charles’s buzzer-beating dunk.

The other No. 1 seed still playing is Baylor, which reached the Final Four in both 1948 and 1950 - when this was an eight-team tournament. The Bears lost the final in 1948 to Kentucky.

Remember Kentucky?

So, it will be Cinderella - No. 11 seed UCLA, which won the last of its titles in 1995 - against

three high seeds, each seeking a first national title.

Nothing happened this week to change the minds of those who have thought since

December that Gonzaga and Baylor were meant to play for this championship. The two schools were supposed to play in Indianapolis on Dec. 5, but the game was called off a couple of hours before tip-off after positive tests involving two members of the Gonzaga traveling party.

Gonzaga Coach Mark Few and Baylor Coach Scott Drew insisted at the time that they would do everything they could to reschedule.

“We’ll find a way to play it at some point.”

Few said then. “We’ll make it happen.”

They are now each one win away from doing so, but with a national championship at stake.

Gonzaga has been the most impressive team in the country all season. The ‘Zags piled up notable nonconference victories, beating Kansas, Iowa, Virginia and West Virginia. The game against the Mountaineers remains the only one this season the Bulldogs didn’t win by doubledigits.

So far, they have handled the pressure of their undefeated record with poise and cool. After they easily handled Creighton in the round of 16, there was talk that Southern California’s Mobley brothers might be a serious test. Freshman Evan Mobley is 7-feet tall, and some think he will be the first pick in this year’s NBA draft.

Season-preview capsules: National League Central Field Level Media

CHICAGO CUBS 2020 record: 34-26 (first in NL Central) 2021 Opening Day starter: Kyle Hendricks (6-5, 2.88 ERA last season) vs. Pirates (April 1) Key additions: RHP Jake Arrieta, RHP Zach Davies, OF Joc Pederson, RHP Trevor Williams Noteworthy losses: RHP Yu Darvish, LHP Jon Lester, OF Kyle Schwarber What’s new: After losing the NL CY Young runner up, they bring in Davies, Arrieta and Williams to bulk up the starting rotation. They all have had a dominant spring, too.

Worth watching: With the core players of the team all entering the final year of their contracts, Javier Baez, Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant look to make another deep run together. Bryant has been involved in trade talks all offseason, but has been focused on just playing baseball.

Who’s next: Left-hander Brailyn Marquez, considered the team’s top prospect, was sent down during spring and may meet up with the team after the All-Star break.

CINCINNATI REDS 2020 record: 31-29 (third in NL Central) 2021 Opening Day starter: Luis Castillo (4-6, 3.21 ERA last season) vs. Cardinals (April 1) Key additions: LHP Sean Doolittle Noteworthy losses: RHP Trevor Bauer, RHP Raisel Iglesias, RHP Michael Lorenzen What’s new: Losing last year’s Cy Young winner Bauer is a big loss, but the Reds still have plenty of depth with Tyler Mahle and Wade Miley taking on bigger roles.

Worth watching: Such a star-studded top of the batting order in Nick Castellanos, Eugenio Suarez and Joey Votto, they can still make a run for the division title.

Who’s next: LHP Nick Lodolo was the seventh

overall pick in the 2019 draft and is expected to move quickly through the system. He could make an instant impact.

MILWAUKEE BREWERS 2020 record: 29-31 (fourth in NL Central) 2021 Opening Day starter: Brandon Woodruff (3-5 3.05 ERA last season) vs. Twins (April 1) Key additions: 2B Kolten Wong Noteworthy losses: OF Ryan Braun, INF Jed Gyorko, INF Eric Sogard What’s new: The team is welcoming back Lorenzo Cain, who opted out of the 2020 season,

and they also signed high-contact hitter Wong.

Worth watching: The team kept one of the best bullpens in the league fully intact, led by Josh Hader and Devin Williams. The team still has former MVP Christian Yelich to help lead the offense.

Who’s next: OF Garrett Mitchell, who was the team’s first-round pick in 2020, has raw power and above-average speed and could become the team’s everyday center fielder by the end of the season.

2020 record: 19-41 (last in NL Central) 2021 Opening Day starter: Chad Kuhl (2-3, 4.27 ERA last season) at Cubs (April 1) Key additions: LHP Tyler Anderson, 3B Todd Frazier, OF Brian Goodwin Noteworthy losses: 1B Josh Bell, RHP Jameson Taillon, RHP Trevor Williams What’s new: The future is what the Pirates are focused on. They traded away their All-Star first baseman Bell for young prospects.

Worth watching: They still have plenty of veterans to watch, and prospects will be called up all season to prepare them for future seasons.

Who’s next: 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes has only improved each year since he was drafted and could make an instant impact on the team.

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 2020 record: 30-28 (second in NL Central) 2021 Opening Day starter: Jack Flaherty (4-3, 4.91 ERA last season) at Reds (April 1) Key additions: 3B Nolan Arenado Noteworthy losses: 2B Kolten Wong, OF Dexter Fowler What’s new: Besides getting one the most dominant and consistent players in the league in Arenado, they will also be getting Jordan Hicks and Miles Mikolas back from the 60-day injured list.

Worth watching: After signing a one-year deal to come back to the team, Yadier Molina looks to continue adding to his Hall-of-Fame resume by leading a young St. Louis team to a playoff run.

Who’s next: OF Dylan Carlson is the 13thranked prospect in the entire league and spent part of last season in the big leagues before being sent back down. He is expected to start the season in center field for the Cardinals because of Harrison Bader’s injury.

ATLANTA BRAVES 2020 record: 35-25 (first in NL East) 2021 Opening Day starter: Max Fried (7-0, 2.25 ERA last season) at Phillies (April 1) Key additions: RHP Charlie Morton, LHP Drew Smyly Noteworthy losses: RHP Darren O’Day, OF Nick Markakis What’s new: Re-signing OF Marcell Ozuna was huge for the team, which hopes to be back in the postseason for the fourth straight year.

Worth watching: Freddie Freeman, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Ozuna have the ability to be the MVP of the league. They

press conference. “We fully expect him to be as good as new.

If anybody is gonna spend 100 percent of his efforts to rehab it’ll be Saquon, just knowing what type of motivation and desire he has. But we’re not in any hurry to do that at this point, particularly after the money we just spent.”

Barkley, 24, is entering his fourth NFL season and rehabbing from a torn ACL and partially torn meniscus in his right knee. It is not known whether he intends to play in 2021 without a new deal.

Mara said later that he’s aware it can send a bad message when a team fails to reward its own, as the Giants did with departed free agents Landon Collins and Dalvin Tomlinson. And he conceded “we do have some important players that will be coming up for extensions pretty soon.”

But Mara qualified: “You

His older brother, sophomore Isaiah, is only 6-10 and not as talented. But the two of them make for a legitimate twintowers duo.

Gonzaga handled them as if they were each a foot shorter and cruised to an 85-66 victory. The ‘Zags have won their four tournament games by an average of 24 points. Remember, this is the NCAA tournament, not the Maui Classic.

Gonzaga has three legitimate all-Americans in point guard Jalen Suggs and big men Corey Kispert and Drew Timme, who might be the most improved player in the country. They are also deep, and they play excellent defense - a fact often overlooked

are the heart of this dangerous lineup.

Who’s next: Young Cristian Pache is ready to be the everyday center fielder.

He is a rare, Gold Glove-level talent, which earned him the spot in the NLCS last season.

MIAMI MARLINS 2020 record: 31-29 (second in NL East) 2021 Opening Day starter: Sandy Alcantara (3-2, 3.00 ERA last season) vs.

Rays (April 1) Key additions: OF Adam Duvall, RHP Dylan Floro Noteworthy losses: RHP Brandon Kintzler, RHP Jose Urena, C Francisco Cervelli, OF Matt Joyce What’s new: A team that shocked the

world last year by making a run in the postseason kept its core mostly intact and looks to repeat.

Worth watching: Second baseman Jazz Chisholm is one of many youngsters the Marlins will count on to try to unseat the Braves for the division title.

Who’s next: RHP Sixto Sanchez was dominant in his stint last season at the big-league level and will be a big part of this season’s rotation.

NEW YORK METS 2020 record: 26-34 (tied for fourth in NL East) 2021 Opening Day starter: Jacob deGrom (4-2, 2.38 ERA last season) at Nationals (April 1) Key additions: SS Francisco Lindor,

RHP Carlos Carrasco, C James McCann, RHP Trevor May Noteworthy losses: SS Amed Rosario, C Wilson Ramos, 2B Robinson Cano (PED suspension) What’s new: After pulling off a blockbuster trades for Lindor and Carrasco, the Mets have a strong rotation and lineup.

Worth watching: With deGrom leading the charge for the rotation and power-hitting Pete Alonso leading the offense, the Mets should put up some very good numbers on both sides of the baseball.

Who’s next: C Francisco Alvarez, the 48th overall MLB prospect, could become the backup to James McCann

sometime this season, but the goal is for him to be the starter in future seasons after gaining experience.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 2020 record: 28-32 (third in NL East) 2021 Opening Day starter: Aaron Nola (5-5, 3.28 ERA last season) vs.

Braves (April 1) Key additions: INF Brad Miller, LHP Matt Moore Noteworthy losses: RHP Jake Arrieta What’s new: The Phillies locked up star catcher J.T. Realmuto for the next five years to go with former MVP Bryce Harper.

can’t pay everybody.” Barkley’s contract situation, therefore, will be fascinating to watch as the running back gets healthier approaching the fall.

Time to start winning Mara said he is “tired of the losing,” and that is behind the Giants’ unexpected free agency splurge.

“It’s time for us to start winning some more, and that’s one of the reasons we spent the money that we did,” he said.

think that’s what we did this year. And we think it’ll pay off, but time will tell.” Tisch involved Co-owner Steve Tisch participated in this week’s NFL owners meetings and weighed in on the Giants’ free agency decisions, Mara said.

Tisch, 72, understandably has faded out of public view since his daughter Hilary’s tragic death at age 36 last August. He owns 50% of the Giants, though, so it is relevant how involved or removed Tisch has been with the Giants’ recent franchise-changing moves.

“He’s been involved in the owners’ meetings, and I’ve had a number of conversations with him as have other people in the building,” Mara said. “So he’s been fully aware of what’s going on, has given his opinion, and he has continued to be involved, yes.”

Jones’ task: win more games Mara said he wants Daniel Jones to “take the next step” in year three.” So what does he need to see specifically?

“I don’t have any specific benchmarks other than, ya know, let’s win some more games,” Mara said.

So the edict is simple: win more games.

Jones has won just eight of his 26 NFL starts, including a 5-9 mark last season.

Mara reiterated that “we think the world of Daniel in this building” and said “I think he does have what it takes to be a long-term winner in this league.” But he has to prove it.

What about Gettleman?

Mara was asked directly if Dave Gettleman would be his GM in 2022 if the team didn’t produce more this season. His answer?

“Well, I’m not gonna speculate on that right now,” he said. “Let’s just see how the season plays out. I have more confidence going into this season than I have in previous years, so hopefully given the money we’ve spent, given the draft we expect to have, we’ll have a better team on the field this year.”

The flip side was the Pac-12.

None of the five teams from the conference was seeded higher than No. 5 Colorado.

And yet, the conference has one team in the Final Four and had two others - USC and Oregon State - in the elite eight.

In all, the Pac-12 has gone 13-4 - and one of those losses was in an intra-conference matchup.

Houston, the No. 2 seed in the Midwest Region, had the easiest path to the final weekend. The Cougars benefited when Loyola Chicago whipped No. 1 seed Illinois only to lose to No. 12 seed Oregon State. That meant Houston had to beat a No. 15 seed; a No. 10 (Rutgers, their toughest game); a No. 11 (Syracuse) and Oregon State. They blew a 17-point halftime lead against the Beavers but found their poise late to win by six and make the Final Four for the first time since Hakeem

Olajuwon was their starting center.

There, they will face their old Southwest Conference foe Baylor. The Bears have excellent guards, depth and quickness. They faced a real challenge in the round of 16 from Villanova but pulled away late and did the same thing against Arkansas in the Elite Eight. Almost every player on the Baylor roster is listed as a guard or a guard/forward and they harass teams defensively for 40 minutes.

The best of those guards are Jared Butler and MaCio Teague, who hit three crucial threes down the stretch against Arkansas. They will be a tough out for Houston.

In the Final Four though, as history proves, anything can happen. No one thought Duke had a chance to beat a 34-0 UNLV team in 1991. N.C. State wasn’t supposed to have any

chance against Houston and Villanova was supposed to be fodder for Georgetown two years later. In 1976, undefeated Indiana trailed Michigan at halftime in the championship game and came back to win by 18.

As Bob Knight walked out of the Philadelphia Spectrum that night with Bob Hammel, the sports editor of the Bloomington newspaper, Hammel said, “You did it Bob, you did it!”

Knight shrugged and, thinking back to his 30-1 team a year earlier, said, “Shoulda been two.”

If Mark Few can walk out of Lucas Oil Stadium Monday night having matched the accomplishment of that Indiana team of 45 years ago, you can be sure he’ll be very happy to have one.

because their offense is such a sight to behold.

The Bulldogs’ opponent on Saturday night will be UCLA, which trailed Michigan State by 11 at halftime of a play-in game. The Bruins scored 53 points in the second half and overtime to beat the Spartans, 86-80. UCLA survived another overtime game in the round of 16 against Alabama and then put on a remarkable defensive performance Tuesday night to beat top-seeded Michigan, 51-49. UCLA guard Johnny Juzang, who hurt his right ankle late in the Michigan State game but has played through the injury, scored 28 of his team’s 51 points.

The Wolverines’ loss was the climax of a miserable two weeks for the vaunted Big Ten, beginning with Michigan State’s loss to UCLA. The conference, touted by many as one of the great conferences of

all time during the regular season, got nine bids - including two No. 1 seeds, Michigan and Illinois, and two No. 2 seeds, Iowa and Ohio State.

All of that led to an embarrassing 8-9 record in tournament games, with only Michigan even making the second weekend. So much for Big Ten hype.

The other often-hyped conference, the ACC, got seven bids, but none higher than Florida State, a No. 4. Duke didn’t even make the field - for the first time since 1995. North Carolina did make it but was hammered in the first round, 85-62, by Wisconsin.

Florida State and Syracuse made it to the Sweet 16 but went down meekly in that round: Syracuse, 62-46 to Houston; Florida State, 76-58 to Michigan. It was an embarrassing end to an embarrassing season for that league, too.

NFL’s schedule change wasn’t hard to predict Ron Cook Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Many of my predictions over the past 60 years or so have gone horribly wrong, among them my call before and during the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs.

I wrote the Penguins couldn’t win the Cup without Kris Letang, double-downed on that before their second-round series against the Washington Capitals and triple-downed on it before Game 7 against the Capitals. Of course, the Penguins won the series and then the Cup. Really proud of that prophecy.

But I have been right on a few occasions, hard as that might be

to believe.

This was on these pages and website on Feb. 4, 2020: “The NFL will be going to a 17-game season in 2021. I’m sure of it. So what if the NFL and its players are the biggest hypocrites in sports? So what if it’s a blatant money grab by both sides? So what if all the talk about player safety has been just so much hot air?”

If only all my predictions were so guaranteed to be correct.

Art Rooney II was among the NFL owners who approved a 17th game during a vote on Tuesday at the league’s annual meetings. It is the first time the NFL increased its number of games since 1978, when it went

from 14 to 16 games.

“This is a monumental moment in NFL history,” Roger Goodell gushed in a statement.

The Steelers’ extra game next season will be against the Seattle Seahawks at Heinz Field, per a formula the NFL concocted.

They will play the extra game on the road in 2022.

“The 17-game schedule, I think, will work out well,” Rooney told Steelers fans during a 20-minute questionand-answer session last week.

“I think we’ll reduce the preseason by one game. It will be a similar kind of schedule just in terms of the calendar, but we’ll just turn one of the preseason games into a regular season game, which I think all of us

would appreciate. I feel good about it. I hope it works.”

The players signed off on the extra game in March 2020 when they approved a new collective bargaining agreement with the owners with a close, contentious vote -- 1,019-959, according to the NFL Players Association. About 500 players didn’t bother to vote. Shame on them for not caring about their health and their future.

The players had insisted for years that they never would agree to the 17th game out of concerns for the wear and tear on their bodies. You might have heard NFL football is a brutal game. But in the end, the players sold out for a greater share of league revenues and other

benefits. Who didn’t know that would happen?

Principles are one thing.

More money is something else.

More money always wins.

So it is with the owners, as well. An additional week of games means more inventory for the networks. More inventory means higher rights fees.

Higher rights fees mean more cash for the owners.

More injuries to the players?

More concussions?

Who cares?

That brings to mind something else I wrote in that February 2020 piece: “The owners are all for more football3/8. That’s one of two things I have in common with

those billionaires. The other? I don’t give a damn about player safety, either. I just want to be entertained.”

I’m guessing the majority of fans are happy there will be more NFL football. With betting everywhere these days and fantasy football, a lot of people can’t get enough. The more games, the better.

It’s not our bodies that are battered and bruised, right?

I close with good news.

Two more predictions that are sure to come true: An 18-game regular season will happen at least by 2030 when the NFL’s current CBA expires. A 20-game season will be inevitable after that.

Moving back home comes with questions of privacy Dear Abby, At the age of 30, I recently had to move back with my parents. I am not the tidiest person in the world, but I thrive on the saying, “Dust, not dirt.”

I recently went on vacation. I knew my room was a little messier than I’d like, DEAR ABBY but I also knew I’d return from vacation ready to tackle the pile of laundry and sweep and mop the floor. Lo and behold, when I walked into my room, it was clean and organized! Abby, I felt my privacy had been invaded.

I was embarrassed and ashamed, but also hurt because my parents had trespassed beyond my closed door. I feel betrayed and like my personal privacy was undermined. What should I do?

Invaded Space

JEANNE PHILLIPS

I’m glad you asked. I think you should get over it, and fast. I assume you are staying rentfree in your parents’ home.

You are no longer a teenager, and nobody trespassed. While you are under their roof, make an extra effort to keep the room you occupy free from dust and a pile of dirty laundry. If you act like a gracious guest instead of a spoiled child, there will be no reason to feel embarrassed or ashamed.

Dear Abby, I’m married and the mother of two kids, ages 5 and 7. My husband is a very involved father and partner in our marriage. My complaint is that he’s too trusting of other people and doesn’t keep an eye on the kids in public places.

An example: He’ll take them to the grocery store and let them hang out in the toy

department while he’s getting groceries.

They will be 100 yards away from each other. I have told him several times that I’m not comfortable with this, yet he continues to do it. I’m not sure what to do about it anymore. Have you any suggestions?

Nervous In Nebraska

Pearls Before Swine

Yes. Because your husband can’t be trusted to watch the children when they accompany him shopping, talk to the kids and impress upon them the importance of staying close to their father.

However, if this doesn’t work, then YOU will have to take over the errands until the children are older.

Dear Abby, I’m 60 and was a stay-at-home mom for 20 years. I have an associate degree in the field that I just got a job in. My problem is, at this age, I’m a little slower at learning new things. My supervisor was willing to help me for the first week, but now she seems to have lost patience with me.

I have been here barely two weeks, and she made a comment that made me feel terrible.

She was trying to teach me a filing system, and I was having a hard time understanding it. She said in front of the entire office that “around here we have to use our brains.”

Should I talk to her or just push through?

A Little Slower

Garfield

Let it slide this time. However, if her lack of tact continues, talk to her about how her comment made you feel. And in the meantime, learn that filing system.

Horoscope

Zits

By Stella Wilder Born today, you enjoy living “on the edge” far more than most, though you may never think you’re actually risking enough at any given moment — and this can surely bring you great excitement as you move ever closer to a precipice, whether real or imagined, but it can also expose you to very real dangers that you must recognize, consider and weigh carefully if you are to avoid falling into the abyss.

You are perhaps the most passionate individual born under your sign — and you certainly challenge those of other signs as well!

Anyone who falls for you had better get used to the notion, very quickly, that he or she is not in the driver’s seat and must want to go on a wild ride with you. Most, as the stars would have it, do want just that — and you don’t disappoint!

Also born on this date are: Marvin Gaye, singer; Christopher Meloni, actor; Michael Fassbender, actor; Buddy Ebsen, actor; Emmylou Harris, singer; Linda Hunt, actress; Alec Guinness, actor; Jack Webb, 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, APRIL 3 ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Surprises come in bursts today. You must be ready to respond in a creative fashion every time. Who, you wonder, is behind this?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — The position you are currently in doesn’t really give you many perks — but you may be able to wrest the advantage from a rival today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — The right and wrong of a certain issue doesn’t interest you to-

day; what is most important is the central truth that seems to be both.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — How are you able to keep your supporters on your side when you aren’t doing what you had promised to do?

It’s time to change your approach.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Competition heats up today, and you find yourself on the wrong side — temporarily. After a few nimble maneuvers, everything should be right on track.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your assessment of a certain situation may not be completely accurate, as you haven’t yet gotten all available information. Do the research!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — A simple negotiation becomes much more unwieldy today as someone tries to get more than he or she deserves. You may have to step in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — How you navigate a certain situation at home will demonstrate to others that all is possible if your heart is in the right place. Yours is!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You may choose to risk failure in going for something more today than merely enjoying a guaranteed success that is strictly limited. Be brave!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You’re expecting things to fall in line as if by magic, but that’s not the way it works — at least not right now. You must put in the time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You may come close to crossing the line with a friend or loved one today, but you will recognize the danger you’re in — just in time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You know you’re likely to profit from a certain endeavor today, but you’re not sure how. You can get guidance from one who’s seen it all.

The bidding:

SOUTH 2♣ 2♥

but for his uncanny ability to make them disappear.

The Magician’s two-heart bid was, of course, forcing. However, his reputation was such that his partner would not treat any bid he made as forcing. His partner was happy to accept any plus score that might come his way, and North was hoping to gain a partial on this deal. The defense started with three rounds of clubs, the Magician ruffing the third. He was fuming that his partner had passed him in two hearts. He could have just cashed his 10 top tricks and lectured his partner, but he saw a way to gain even more leverage in the discussion to come.

He would make an overtrick by sneaking his singleton spade through to the king before drawing trumps.

At trick four, the Magician led his spade to dummy’s king. Sadly for him, East produced the ace and continued with the jack. The Magician ruffed, but he had lost control of the hand. He cashed three high trumps and started on diamonds. East ruffed the second diamond and the defense took two more spade tricks and a club trick.

The Magician finished down two in this contract. He had nothing to say about the bidding.
