COXSACKIE — A Catskill woman was arrested Saturday afternoon on multiple felony charges for allegedly driving while impaired by drugs with two small children in the car, state police Troop T public information officer Tara McCormick, said Monday.

Katie A. Warren, 31, was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated with a child in the vehicle, two counts of driving while ability impaired by drugs and

first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, all class E felonies, McCormick said.

Warren was also charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor, and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended registration, a Class U misdemeanor, McCormick said.

Warren has a prior DWI conviction within the last 10 years, McCormick said.

On Saturday, at about 12:30 p.m., troopers stopped a vehicle on the New York State Thruway in Coxsackie for a vehicle and traffic

violation. At that time, police determined that Warren was impaired by drugs while driving with two 4-year-old children in the car, McCormick said.

Police did not disclose the relationship between the children and Warren, McCormick said.

Warren was found to have a suspended driver’s license and an active arrest warrant from Schenectady City Police, McCormick said.

Warren was taken into custody and transported to State See POLICE A8

Developer Aaron Flach checks out the plans for the South River Street project.

COXSACKIE — Work is underway on a luxury hotel and event center in downtown Coxsackie.

Developer Aaron Flach is building the Newbury Hotel and The Wire wedding and event center on South River Street and expects to have them up and running by May 2022, in time for next year’s wedding season, he said.

The project is expected to bring 38 full-time jobs to the area and is projected to cost about $15 million, Flach said.

Flach acquired a $2 million grant from Empire State Development for the hotel and event center, and is working with the U.S. Small Business Administration for more funding, he said.

Once completed, the project will be a boon to the county economy, particularly during

the COVID-19 pandemic, said Karl Heck, director of Greene County Economic Development and Planning.

“Building any kind of hotel during the pandemic has been a challenge,” Heck said Monday. “We are very fortunate to have Aaron [Flach] and his company moving ahead.”

The project will also capitalize on one of the village’s most See PROJECT A8

NY pushes to vaccinate college students

By Kate Lisa Johnson Newspaper Corp.

ALBANY — State University of New York campuses and private colleges will receive an allocation of COVID-19 vaccines as the state prioritizes vaccinating young people ages 18 to 24 in an effort to end the coronavirus pandemic.

The state will allocate 21,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine for oncampus and non-commuter SUNY students and 14,000 doses for private colleges.

The state is prioritizing vaccinating younger New Yorkers after a spike in new coronavirus infections in residents ages 18 to 24 from 9% to 14%.

“Even if they believe in what I call the superhero theory, that they can’t get hurt by COVID, they can transit COVID to someone who can get hurt,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said during a telephone call with reporters

A Suffolk County Community College student receives a single-dose Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine at the Long Island campus on Monday after Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the state will allocate separate vaccines for SUNY schools and private colleges to inoculte young people.

Monday afternoon. “We’re trying to get students vaccinated in the

schools before the schools are out.”

The age group was not eligible to

get vaccinated until April 6, or one week ago, which Cuomo said is the reason for the spiked infections.

Medical personnel at the public institutions, and private colleges that decide to participate, will administer the vaccines on campus.

SUNY and CUNY colleges will model the program. Students can make appointments through their universities.

“We’ve vaccinated many of the older population now,” State Health Department Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said on Monday’s call. “A lot of this goes to behavior, and we need to get vaccinated. They should be out there getting the vaccines.”

All New Yorkers ages 16 and older are eligible to get vaccinated.

President Joe Biden holds a news conference at the White House on Thursday, April 8, 2021.

pieces of Biden’s proposal are open to revisions, whether they involve the parameters of the plan or how the president wants to pay for it. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that Biden was “absolutely” willing to negotiate.

“He looks forward to hearing their ideas, and his objective is to find a way forward where we can modernize our nation’s infrastructure so we can compete with China,” Psaki said Monday in advance of the meeting.

“He’s proposed a way to pay for it, which is what he thinks the responsible thing is to do. And he hopes they’ll come to the table with ideas.”

The White House gathering marks a period of intense outreach on the part of the Biden

administration, which deputized Cabinet leaders including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg earlier this month to sell the package known as the American Jobs Plan to congressional lawmakers and local government officials nationwide.

The president himself has insisted the White House intends to be bipartisan, and he hopes to adopt a law with GOP support, given the broad political appeal in addressing the country’s infrastructure needs. But the administration has signaled it does not have a tolerance for endless negotiations, opening the door for Democrats to act on their own, much as they did with the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package they secured in March.

What we know about the Natanz nuclear site attack

Seattle 64/42

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is set to huddle with centrist Democrats and Republicans on Monday as he embarks on a new sales pitch in an effort to shore up bipartisan support around his roughly $2 trillion proposal to upgrade the nation’s infrastructure.

The White House meeting comes as congressional lawmakers return to Washington this week after a brief spring recess. Many members of Congress support new infrastructure spending, but they are at odds over the size and scope of Biden’s plan - creating partisan divisions that threaten to spoil early hopes for a swift political compromise on a signature element of the president’s economic agenda.

Biden plans to gather with lawmakers including Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell, the top Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee, and Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, her GOP counterpart. The panel plays a critical role in congressional debates around railroads and broadband internet access, which form a critical portion of the Biden administration’s infrastructure plan.

Reps. Garret Graves, R-La., and Donald Payne, D-N.J., meanwhile, belong to a separate panel of House lawmakers actively considering legislation to fund and improve the nation’s highways and roadways while implementing new programs to reduce carbon emissions. They will also attend the meeting.

The White House has taken pains to emphasize that all

With infrastructure, the pathways to passage grew increasingly complicated last week. Republican lawmakers blasted Biden’s proposal for its scope, arguing that programs to tackle climate change and social issues including child care did not belong in an infrastructure package. Party leaders also took great issue with its roughly $2 trillion price tag and the accompanying tax increases Biden has put forward to pay for it, prompting Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, RKy., to predict that Republicans are disinclined to support it in its current form.

Some Democrats, including key centrist Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, raised their own objections to the tax hikes, which would raise the corporate rate to 28% from 21%. But Manchin also sounded a key political warning for the Biden administration last week: He urged Democrats not to rely on an arcane legislative maneuver known as reconciliation to advance infrastructure reform with only 51 votes.

Entering the meeting, the White House on Monday also sought to illustrate the case for infrastructure reform in all 50 states, putting out fact sheets that showed how years of underfunded projects nationwide had resulted in poor roads, bridges, waterways and broadband connections. In Manchin’s home state, the White House pointed to more than 1,500 bridges and 3,200 miles of highway in “poor condition,” prompting the administration to conclude: “The need for action is clear.”

By Siobhán O’Grady The Washington Post

Iranian authorities on Monday blamed Israel for an electrical blackout over the weekend at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility - which left some older centrifuges damaged - calling the apparent cyber attack “nuclear terrorism” and vowing revenge.

Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported Sunday that Israel was behind the attack.

The incident, which comes after a years-long series of Israeli efforts to undermine Iran’s nuclear program by a variety of means, marks yet another escalation in hostilities in the region as world powers attempt to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, with U.S. and Iranian negotiators holding indirect talks in Vienna in recent days.

Here are some key questions about the situation, answered.

Q: What happened in Natanz?

A: Iranian officials announced Sunday that the nuclear site in Natanz, around 155 miles south of the capital of Tehran, experienced a blackout early Sunday morning.

“While condemning this desperate move, the Islamic Republic of Iran emphasizes the need for a confrontation by the international bodies and the [International Atomic Energy Agency] against this nuclear terrorism,” Ali Akbar Salehi, who leads the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said on state TV, the Associated Press reported.

On Monday, Salehi said that despite the attack, “enrichment in Natanz has not stopped and is moving forward vigorously.”

The disruption came one day after Iran tested new centrifuges, which work to refine uranium at a faster pace, at the same site.

Q: How have Israel, the U.S. and Iran responded?

A: Israel has not directly claimed responsibility for the attack, but Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Monday that Iran “will take revenge for this action against the Zionists,” IRNA, the state-run Iranian news agency, reported.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said the attack should be considered one of the “crimes against humanity which the Israeli regime has been doing for many years now.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters Monday that his “policy as prime minister of Israel is clear: I will never allow Iran to obtain the nuclear capability to carry out its genocidal goal of eliminating Israel.”

“And Israel will continue to defend itself against Iran’s aggression and terrorism,” he said.

Israel has stood in firm opposition to the nuclear accord, citing concerns about Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Tehran insists its program is peaceful.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met with Netanyahu on Monday and told reporters that “efforts will continue” to re-engage in nuclear talks with Iran.

A senior Biden administration official told The Washington Post that the “United States had no involvement [with Sunday’s blackout] and we have nothing to add to speculation about the causes.”

Q: Has this happened before?

A: This is not the first time that the Natanz facility has been targeted.

More than a decade ago, a computer virus known as Stuxnet was found to have targeted

Iranian nuclear infrastructure at Natanz. The malware was widely suspected to have been developed by Israel and the United States. And last July, a large explosion rocked the grounds of the Natanz complex.

More recently, a shadow war between Israel and Iran, who are archenemies, has escalated.

Last week, Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported that mines struck an Iranian vessel in the Red Sea, damaging it off the coast of Djibouti. In March, Israel claimed Iran had attacked an Israeli-owned freighter in the Gulf of Oman.

In November 2020, Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was gunned down outside of Tehran and Iranian officials suggested that Israel was behind the attack. “Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today,” Zarif tweeted after the killing. “This cowardice - with serious indications of Israeli role - shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators.’

Fakhrizadeh is one of several Iranian scientists to be killed in recent years. Between 2010 and 2012, four scientists affiliated with the country’s nuclear program were killed. In 2017, Iran announced that an individual described as a “Mossad agent” had been sentenced to death for his role in the killings.

The attacks could complicate U.S. efforts to revive the nuclear deal, a priority for the

Biden administration.

Q: Where do nuclear talks stand?

A: The United States and Iran began indirect talks last week in Vienna, in a bid to reach an agreement on what steps each side would need to take to return to the landmark 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA. The United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, China and Russia all signed onto the 2015 deal with the Iran.

Under the terms of that accord, Iran began to allow further international oversight and limit its nuclear enrichment. In exchange, the United States rolled back sanctions targeting the country.

But former President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement in 2018 and reimposed economic sanctions on Iran.

DEC and Adirondack Mountain Reserve to pilot new reservation system in 2021 ALBANY — The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Adirondack Mountain Reserve (AMR) announced the launch of a pilot reservation system that was developed in partnership to provide reliable access and address public safety at a particularly crowded corner on Route 73 in the town of Keene in the Adirondack High Peaks region. The reservation system, operated by AMR, will facilitate safer public access to trailheads through the AMR gate and for Noonmark and Round mountains and improve visitors’ trip planning and preparation by ensuring they have guaranteed parking upon arrival.

The pilot reservation system complements state and local efforts already underway to reduce dangerous and illegal parking in the vicinity of the AMR property, including variable electronic message boards and additional signage, bolstered social media outreach and education, and increased law enforcement presence and parking enforcement. In recent years pedestrian traffic, illegal parking, and roadside stopping along Route 73 have created a dangerous environment for hikers and motorists alike.

Beginning May 1, and through Oct. 31, 2021, DEC and AMR will require reservations for the 70 available parking spots at the AMR parking lot for daily access to trails on AMR property, as well as the Round Mountain and Noonmark Mountain trailheads accessed through AMR lands.

Walk-in users without a reservation will not be permitted.

Those arriving to Keene Valley via Greyhound or Trailways bus lines may access with a valid bus ticket from within 24 hours of arrival. Those arriving by bus must check in at the AMR hiker parking lot. The AMR parking lot is only accessible between the hours of 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily, with the

exception of overnight parking.

Advance reservations are required and can be made two weeks in advance. Visitors can make reservations for day or overnight use, including overnight parking. It is not necessary to have a vehicle to make a reservation to hike. Those being dropped off and those arriving by bicycle must check in at the AMR hiker parking Lot and produce a valid reservation. All bicycles must be left at the hiker parking lot where a bike rack will be provided and portable restrooms will be available at the parking lot for visitor use. Visitors can begin registering at the new Hiker Reservation web portal, hikeamr.org, which will go live on April 15, with reservations beginning May 1.

In an effort to keep the area safe, clean, and enjoyable for all users, parking is limited at other popular trailheads along the Route 73 corridor. Visitors should come prepared with back-up plans in case trailhead parking lots are full: Roadside parking on Route 73 in the vicinity of AMR is dangerous and illegal. Visitors should park only in designated lots and adhere to posted parking restrictions.

Illegally parked vehicles will be ticketed and potentially towed at the owner’s expense; and Hikers should follow the seven principles of Leave No Trace™, and carry out what they carry in, including all gear, garbage, and food scraps. In addition, hikers should use designated toilets when available and always dispose of waste properly.

Other restrictions for recreation on the AMR Conservation Easement continue to apply. These include, but are not limited to: Bicycles are not allowed past the parking area; Hikers must stay on marked hiking trails; Dogs are not allowed on the property; Hunting, trapping, and fishing are prohibited; The public is not allowed

to enter on the shores, swim, or boat on any and all lakes, streams, or rivers, or cross the frozen lakes in winter; Entering buildings is prohibited; and Visit the Adirondack Mountain Reserve Conservation Easement Tract page on DEC’s website for a full list of rules and regulations.

The pilot reservation system supports DEC’s comprehensive and ongoing efforts to sustainably manage increased visitation to the High Peaks region and will provide important information to guide future land management decisions. The reservation system also complements recommendations included in the High Peaks Advisory Group’s (HPAG) final report on promoting sustainable recreation in the Adirondack Park. Comprised of stakeholders with expertise in local government, recreation, natural resource protection, business, and tourism, in 2019 the HPAG was tasked with providing DEC with recommendations on how to address critical issues associated with increased public use of High Peaks resources in order to protect these areas in the short and long term, as well as for future generations. Visit the DEC website to read the report.

DEC reminds visitors that AMR is home to several popular hikes, but there are many alternative hiking opportunities in the region. Visit https://www.dec.ny.gov/ outdoor/9163.html for more information.

New York State Surveyors offer free STEM Educational Program for students ALBANY — The New York State Association of Professional Land Surveyors (NYSAPLS) announced that they will again offer summer lesson plans to provide students with an opportunity for outdoor learning while challenging them in math and science.

Following the success of last year, NYSAPLS is again promoting the Get Kids into Survey program to support continuing education during the summer vacation. The program is free of charge to students across the state and will inspire New York students to utilize their math and science skills to explore their passion for STEM while also getting outdoors.

“After a year of virtual learning and increased screen time, we are hoping this will be a way for students across the state to get outside and explore. The goal is for these activities to help students exercise their math and science skills while learning more about surveying and having fun at the same time,” said Lem Morrison, LS, PR Committee Chair.

The Get Kids into Survey program was created by Elaine Ball, Ltd., to introduce kids to the concept of land surveying for boundary determination, teach

them how to read and plot boundary description and provide safe activities that can be completed together with other students, friends or family members.

NYSAPLS has embraced and supported the program to introduce the younger generation to surveying, as well as also teaching students the importance and history of the profession.

Students, parents and teachers can access these materials by visiting the association’s website, www. nysapls.org, or calling (518) 432-4046.

“Young people are curious and looking for various ways to explore their passions and interest.

There are more pathways to STEM career fields and exposing surveying at a young age will attract the next generation of professionals to fill the ranks of the industry in the coming years,” added, Dan Marvin, President, NYSAPLS. NYSAPLS represents more than 1,200 members — 75% of all licensed land surveyors throughout New York State. Founded in 1963, the goal of the association is to foster the establishment and maintenance of uniform high professional standards of work and ethics of the profession.

OUR VIEW

Another stab at broadband expansion Former U.S. Rep. John Faso, of Kinderhook, understood the need and pressed hard for it. His successor, U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, of Rhinebeck, understands the need and is pressing even harder for it. What is it? Expansion of broadband access in the largely rural counties of Columbia and Greene.

But no matter how hard they try, Republican or Democrat, internet provider or communication giant, chamber of commerce or small business alliance, they can do nothing more than scratch their swords against broadband’s thick, scaly hide.

New York broadband providers were slow to react last week to details of a new state program requiring mid-sized and large companies to provide internet service for low-income families for $15 per month. It’s another angle on the same problem and it’s worth a look. That’s probably why it won’t get off the ground.

The state’s historic $212 billion budget, which the Legislature adopted nearly a week late last Wednesday night, mandated a new program requiring companies that provide internet connection to 20,000 households or more to offer broadband service of at least 25 Mbps at the discounted rate of $15 per month to state households in need.

Mid-Hudson Cable is participating in

the federal Emergency Broadband Benefit program through the American Cable Association and the Federal Communications Commission, which provides broadband services to qualified low-income households to help people stay connected online during the pandemic.

Now, a test of wills is taking shape. The state Public Service Commission ruled the $15/month program would have an unsustainable financial impact on companies that provide connectivity to fewer than 20,000 New York homes. On the other side, Gov. Andrew Cuomo threatened to revoke providers’ state franchises if they refuse to participate.

If this were just a matter of stringing cables from poles to homes, it wouldn’t be so complex. And when the companies that provide internet service say they’re still studying this item, don’t hold your breath.

We might accept that expanding broadband is still a work in progress, but even as demands for more broadband emanate from business and private customers, little movement is visible.

Once upon a time, technology on this scale seemed futuristic, a science-fiction concept. But that is no longer acceptable. In Greene and Columbia counties, the future is now.

ANOTHER VIEW

Stabilize the Postal Service (c) 2021,The Washington Post

Last year was a rough one for the U.S. Postal Service. Relentlessly bashed by thenPresident Donald Trump, the Postal Service landed in election-year controversy when Trump’s choice for postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, introduced cost-cutting measures that appeared to slow the flow of letters on the eve of a mail-in election. DeJoy rolled back some measures under pressure from Democrats in Congress, and the Postal Service delivered ballots successfully - but covid struck the postal workforce with a wave of holiday packages, causing epic delays.

Oh, and the service lost $9.2 billion for fiscal 2020. All of the above heighten the urgency of stabilizing an institution whose function and finances were permanently disrupted by the Internet.

Now comes DeJoy with a 10-year plan to fix the Postal Service - and many Democrats, still fuming over last year’s events, are in no mood to listen. Several in the House have already unveiled a bill - sardonically named for the postmaster general - to block his proposals. Others believe that what the Postal Service really needs is for President Joe Biden to appoint new board members who will get rid of DeJoy. Whether he stays or goes, though, reality won’t change: The Postal Service has a busted business model and $160 billion in unfunded liabilities and debt. Pumping in more taxpayer money, on top of the $10 billion provided last year, could buy time, but not much else. The Postal Service needs a dose of the medicine that helped financially stressed entities such as General Motors and Puerto Rico: financial relief in return for structural reform.

DeJoy’s plan offers such a prescription.

The financial relief consists of ending a man-

datory $6 billion annual postal retiree health benefit prepayment while shifting retirees’ health care to Medicare, plus recalculating the Postal Service’s arcane legacy obligations to the Civil Service Retirement System - total savings, $58 billion. Structural reforms include more freedom to charge customers the full cost of mail service and more movement of letters and packages via Postal Servicecontrolled trucks rather than aircraft belonging to third parties. DeJoy says the Postal Service could break even by fiscal 2023 even as it invests billions in upgrades such as a planned replacement of its decrepit deliverytruck fleet.

Critics cast this as a plan to charge more for slower mail; and, indeed, delivery-time targets for about three of every 10 first-class pieces would increase from three to as many as five days. But the Postal Service hasn’t regularly been meeting its targets since long before DeJoy’s time anyway; business mailers probably should pay more than the effectively subsidized rates they currently enjoy.

There is no painless-for-everyone option.

DeJoy’s plan is moderate relative to previous ones: He would neither eliminate Saturday delivery nor challenge collective-bargaining rules that postal unions cherish. The shift of retiree health to Medicare has bipartisan support in Congress; Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., pushed a similar measure through his House committee in 2017.

The Postal Service is indeed a vital institution, as its defenders in Congress say. Yet beneath the often lofty rhetoric is an unlovely political reality: Special interest groups that profit from the postal status quo dominate Congress. Denying DeJoy’s plan a fair hearing would certainly be a defeat for him - but not necessarily a victory for the public.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘Bernard always had a few prayers in the hall and some whiskey afterwards as he was rather pious.’

DAISY ASHFORD

WASHINGTON — The music is ominous, the mood dark. A man, face obscured, lowers a cigar from his lips, smoke curling in sinister wisps. “Far-left billionaires and liberal dark money groups went all in,” the narrator intones. “They spent record amounts electing Biden, building the Democrats their bare majority in the Senate.”

Silhouetted in a hallway, a man and woman shake hands. “And now, they are getting what they paid for,” the narrator continues. “A bench of radical, activist judges.” A judge’s gavel comes down, a hand reaches out to take a wad of bills. “Paying back secret donors. Ignoring the Constitution. It’s no way to pick judges.”

Exaggeration in the service of ideology is no surprise. Blatant hypocrisy is a bipartisan sport, so widespread that it would be impossible to decry every instance. But this new ad, from the conservative Judicial Crisis Network, is 30 seconds of the purest political chutzpah, now airing in Arizona, Georgia, West Virginia and the District.

To understand why requires understanding the operations of the Judicial Crisis Network and a web of allied groups that have spent millions over the past several decades to transform the federal judiciary into a conservative force.

Millions in “dark money” donations that come from, yes, “secret donors.”

If this is “no way to pick judges,” it is precisely the way that the Judicial Crisis Network, its president, Carrie Severino, and one of its founders, former Federalist Society executive vice president Leonard Leo, pioneered and perfected.

And, by the way, the people who turned membership in the conservative Federalist Society into a prerequisite for entrance into the federal judiciary, the ones who worked assiduously during the Trump administration to confirm a record 10 judges deemed “not qualified” by the American Bar Association, have some nerve labeling President Joe Biden’s first 11 picks “politicians in robes, who would transform the country, ignore the people, and shred the Constitution.”

But back to dark money. As The Post reported in 2019, Leo is a wizard at

WASHINGTON POST

RUTH

MARCUS “raising money for nonprofits that under IRS rules do not have to disclose their donors. Between 2014 and 2017 alone, [Leo and his allies] collected more than $250 million in such donations, sometimes known as ‘dark money,’ according to a Post analysis of the most recent tax filings available.” Tens of millions of dollars of this was spent in the service of confirming Republican judicial nominees, including Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.

For the Judicial Crisis Network to inveigh against “secret donors” on judicial nominees is mighty rich.

Perhaps they could tell us who wrote the $17 million check that came from a single mystery donor in 20172018.

It is true that dark money comes in shades of gray.

Secret money to groups like the Judicial Crisis Network is less pernicious that secret money aimed at directly influencing federal elections. The new Judicial Crisis Network ad cites a 2021 Bloomberg report on $145 million in dark money donated to groups backing the Biden campaign, far in excess of what GOP-aligned entities spent to help President Donald Trump.

This would be a stronger argument if the Judicial Crisis Network and its allies supported efforts, championed by Democrats, to shine light on such secret spending -- now included in H.R. 1, the sprawling election and ethics reform measure now pending in the Senate.

Instead, these conservatives, led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., have done their best to prevent additional disclosure requirements.

Democrats “realized they couldn’t shut up their critics” and “decided to go after the microphone instead, by trying to scare off the funders,” McConnell said in 2012.

But McConnell & Co.

don’t simply want to prevent new disclosure rules; they want to cut back on existing reporting requirements.

Consider this friendof-the-court brief filed by McConnell in a pending Supreme Court case. The dispute involves a conservative challenge to a California requirement that nonprofits operating in the state disclose to its attorney general the identities of donors — but not to release them to the public.

“This Court’s continued, wrongheaded deference to campaign finance disclosure requirements simply has no application here,” advises the brief, written by Donald McGahn, White House counsel for Trump who, in his role as chief judge-picker, worked closely with the Judicial Crisis Network. In the McConnell-McGahn view, transparency when it comes to campaign contributions is not an important element of effective democracy; it is a “misguided” exception.

Finally, a few words on these supposed “radical” judges. They look different from Trump’s picks, for sure. Nine of the 11 are women; nine are people of color. Four are former public defenders; four are former federal prosecutors.

Consider the three appeals court nominees, all Black women. One, U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, named to the D.C. Circuit seat vacated by Attorney General Merrick Garland, was confirmed by the Senate in 2013 by voice vote, meaning that no Republican senator objected. Candace Jackson-Akiwumi, nominated to the federal appeals court in Chicago, attended Princeton University and Yale Law School. Tiffany Cunningham, nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the specialized court that hears patent claims, is a graduate of MIT and Harvard Law School.

If the Judicial Crisis Network wants to convince anyone that these are “politicians in robes,” it’s going to have to come up with more than scary music and wild smears.

Mobile sports betting to be in state budget To the editor: It’s a great and historic day in New York for sports bettors.

Governor Cuomo’s plan, which I supported when announced in January will be in the 20212022 state budget to be passed by legislature.

The Governor’s plan will bring in $500 million in revenue

to New York State that is currently going to other states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

These states have had mobile sports betting since 2017. The four casino operators will have skins affiliated at their establishments.

This is a win -win for New York State taxpayers.

By BEN BEAGLE Johnson Newspaper Corp.

New York state is easing social-distancing restrictions in public school classrooms as part of updated COVID-19 guidance released late Friday.

The new interim guidance allows at least 3 feet of distancing between students in the classroom, with certain safety measures in place, including the wearing of masks.

There are also some exceptions to the 3-foot rule.

And before a school can make any change to reduce physical distancing to less than 6 feet between students during academic instructions, the district is required to get community input from parents, community members, teachers, staff and local departments of health. This meeting must be held before any change to the physical distancing in schools can be made, said the state’s updated “Pre-K to Grade 12 Schools Master Guidance.”

School district must post the amended plans online, and share with the local and state health departments, though the state does not review the plans, the health department said.

The state Department of Health updated its school guidance following last month’s recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.

Schools can reduce distances between students in classrooms to 3 feet in elementary, middle and high school in counties with low, moderate and substantial transmission of COVID-19, according to the state Health Department.

In counties where there is a high risk of COVID-19 transmission, middle and high schools must continue to maintain 6 feet of distancing if students cannot be placed in cohorts.

Cohorts are self-contained,

Metro Creative

The New York State Department of Health has revised its guidance to school districts and will now allow for three feet of distancing in academic classrooms when certain conditions are met. There are also some exceptions to the three foot distance that will require a six foot distance to be maintained.

preassigned groups of students in reasonable group size limits established by the schools in their reopening plans. Schools must enact measures to prevent intermingling between cohorts to the extent possible. Cohorting is also recommended if a school is using less than 6 feet of physical distance in classrooms, according to the state’s school guidance plan.

Faculty may instruct more than one cohort so long as appropriate physical distancing is maintained, according to the plan.

Six feet is still required between adults, when eating meals, and when students are doing activities that include the projection of voices, such as singing or playing an instrument.

The CDC considers a community to have a high risk of transmission if there are more than 100 cases per 100,000 population in the past seven days. Greene County has a high rate of transmission, according to CDC data.

Columbia County is reported to have a substantial transmission rate, or between 50 and 99 new cases per 100,000 residents over the last week.

Transmission rates in the Twin County region as of Monday, according to CDC data, ranged from a low of 97.54 cases per 100,000 residents in Columbia County, to a high of 108.08 cases per 100,000 residents in Greene County.

The state’s updated “Pre-K to Grade 12 Schools Master Guidance” states: n In counties with low and moderate risk of transmission, elementary, middle, and high schools can maintain physical distancing of at least 3 feet between students in classrooms. n In counties with substantial risk of transmission, elementary, middle, and high schools can maintain physical distancing of at least 3 feet between students in classrooms and cohorting is recommended when possible. n In counties with high risk of transmission, elementary schools can maintain physical distancing of at least 3 feet between students in classrooms and cohorting is recommended when possible. However, in middle and high schools 3 feet between students in classrooms is recommended only when schools can use cohorting.

Harvey Weinstein indicted on sex assault charges in Los Angeles, faces extradition from NY

By James Queally and Richard Winton Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Harvey Weinstein has been indicted on 11 counts of sexual assault in Los Angeles County and could be extradited here to answer those charges after a hearing in upstate New York on Monday, according to four people with direct knowledge of the situation.

Weinstein, 67, was facing four counts of forcible rape, four counts of forcible oral copulation, two counts of sexual battery and one count of sexual penetration by force connected to the alleged assaults of five women from 2004 to 2013, according to prosecutors.

The indictment returned by a grand jury upholds those charges without adding any new counts or any new victims, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the indictment is currently under seal.

All five victims testified during the grand jury hearings, as is required under California law, according to three of the sources.

Several sources described the indictment as a procedural move, meant to skip a preliminary hearing and hopefully preempt potential speedy trial issues in Weinstein’s case. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a severe backlog of trials in Los Angeles, and the county’s courts continue to enforce strict social distancing protocols and limit the number of people who can enter courthouses.

Few trials have taken place in L.A. since last March, and jury selection for a case like Weinstein’s

under the court’s current rules could prove to be an arduous task.

Weinstein has been held at the Wende Correctional Facility in Alden, N.Y., since last March, when he was sentenced to 23 years in state prison after his conviction on rape charges in Manhattan. The Miramax cofounder has denied all wrongdoing and is appealing that conviction, but the California case is expected to proceed first.

An extradition hearing that could kickstart the process of sending Weinstein to Los Angeles is scheduled for late Monday morning in Erie County, N.Y. The hearing has been continued several times, but prosecutors have said they plan to go forward on Monday.

The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In a statement, Weinstein’s defense attorney, Mark Werksman, dismissed the indictment as stemming from “stale, unsubstantiated, uncorroborated, uncredible allegations that arose during the hysteria of the MeToo movement.

“We’re confident that Mr. Weinstein will be acquitted because there’s no credible evidence against him,” he said.

The charges against Weinstein in Los Angeles stem from accusations levied by five women who say the disgraced Hollywood mogul attacked them in West L.A. and Beverly Hills between 2004 and 2013.

One victim, Lauren Young, was called as a “prior bad acts” witness against Weinstein during his New

York trial. The Pennsylvania woman alleged Weinstein lured her into his room after a meeting at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills in 2013, where the mogul allegedly grabbed her breast and masturbated before she fled.

A second accuser in the Los Angeles case is an Italian model who previously told The Times Weinstein attacked her inside Mr. C’s hotel in Beverly Hills in 2013.

The woman, whose identity has not been made public, reported the assault to the Los Angeles Police Department in 2017, sparking an investigation that led to the filing of charges early last year.

In total, more than 80 women have accused Weinstein of sexual abuse.

When schools cannot maintain cohorting, middle and high schools must maintain physical distancing of at least 6 feet between students in classrooms. n The CDC no longer recommends physical barriers for mitigation where physical distancing cannot be maintained. A preferred approach is enhanced ventilation and air filtration to dilute and remove any SARS-Cov-2 particles from the air as described below and in the CDC school guidance.

New York state had previously required 6 feet of distancing. Last month, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revised its guidance, allowing for 3 feet of distance with some exceptions.

Exceptions where a minimum of 6 feet of distance must be maintained are: n Six feet is always the required distancing between adults (teachers, staff, visitors) and between students and adults. n Six feet of distance is required when eating meals or snacks, or drinking, or other times masks must be removed. This may mean that meals cannot be eaten in classrooms that have been converted to 3 feet of physical distance during instruction time. n Individuals participating in activities that require projecting the voice (e.g., singing) or playing a wind instrument must be 6 feet apart and there must be 6 feet of distance between the performers and the audience during performances and concerts. n Six feet of physical distance must be maintained in common areas and outside of classrooms (e.g. lobbies, auditoriums, gymnasiums, cafeterias, and hallways), where possible.

Maintaining vegetable garden vigor and getting more out of it KINGSTON — “Get the Most out of Your Garden” is a three-part, live online workshop offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County’s Master Gardener volunteers that will help move your veggie garden to the next level. Designed to inspire and educate gardeners of all backgrounds and abilities, this final session in the Vegetable Gardens for Everyone series will take place 9 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

April 19.

In the first class, “Extending the Season,” Master Gardener Cecily Frazier will share her extensive knowledge to help you decide if early spring and

fall plantings are right for you.

How can you get a jump on the season and do some early spring planting? And when do you start seeds for fall plantings and early winter harvesting? Should you invest in row covers and cold frames?

The second class, “Nourish Your Garden,” Master Gardener Barbara Bravo will share how to use compost, fertilizers, manures, cover crops, and crop rotation can make a big difference in your veggie yields.

But what about that fungus ... and those bugs? In “Veggie Problem Solving,” Master Gardener Barbara Bravo returns

to help you learn how to identify pests and diseases. She will explain what to do about these problems, and point you to reliable resources from the internet, fact sheets and books.

Each class is live, and includes time for questions and discussion. There will be 30 minute breaks between classes. To register, go to [ulster. cce.cornell.edu/events]ulster. cce.cornell.edu/events. The cost for all three classes is $25.

Registrations will be accepted until April 18. For information, call contact Dona Crawford at 845-340-3990, x335 or email dm282@cornell.edu.

New Yorkers encouraged Airport enplanements to sign up for 10th annual ‘I increase — caution divided Love My Park’ Day ALBANY – Passenger traffic at Albany International Airport has increased dramatically during the last week. The latest comparisons are based on 2020 enplanements following the onset of the COVID-19 virus and the resulting decline in air traffic.

Airport enplanements have gone from a minus 69% on March 9, compared to 2020, to a plus 240% on March 21st of this year. While the year-toyear comparisons are noteworthy, airport enplanements are still far below pre-COVID passenger trafffic.

“We believe our increase in passenger traffic is tied directly to the traveling public’s increased confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and the decrease in reported infections, hospitalizations and deaths related to the coronavirus,” said Philip Calderone, CEO of the Albany County Airport Authority.

March 18 was the Airport’s busiest day in 2021 with 2441 people passing through the TSA security checkpoint. On a “normal” day, as many as 5,000 people pass through the TSA security checkpoint to board flights.

The Albany International Airport continues to follow CDC guidelines and requires all passengers and guests to

wear protective masks while in the terminal and while dinning at the Airport’s food concessions. Passengers are also required to observe social distancing while in the terminal. All airlines serving Albany International Airport also require passengers to wear protective masks during their flights.

CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL TRAVEL GUIDELINES Travel increases your chance of spreading and getting COVID-19. Delay travel and stay home to protect yourself and others from COVID-19, even if you are vaccinated.

If you must travel, take steps to protect yourself and others:

n If you are eligible, get fully vaccinated for COVID-19. n Before you travel, get tested with a viral test 1-3 days before your trip. n Wear a mask over your nose and mouth when in public. n Avoid crowds and stay at least 6 feet/2 meters (about 2 arm lengths) from anyone who did not travel with you. n Get tested 3-5 days after your trip and stay home and self-quarantine for a full 7 days after travel, even if your test is negative. If you don’t get tested, stay home and self-quarantine for 10 days after travel. n Follow all state and local recommendations or requirements after travel.

Give blood with the Red URMC launching Cross during National new brain aging research center Volunteer Month POUGHKEEPSIE — With no substitute for blood and no way to manufacture it, volunteer donors are essential for hospital patients in need of transfusions. During National Volunteer Month this April, the American Red Cross is celebrating the blood, platelet and plasma donors who help fulfill its lifesaving mission and urging healthy individuals to join them in giving.

Nearly 2.6 million Red Cross volunteer donors step up every year to ensure blood is on the shelves when patients need it.

The generosity of these heroes has been especially impactful over the past year as they helped the Red Cross continue to meet patient needs amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Red Cross continues to urge healthy individuals, especially those with type O blood, to give blood to ensure hospitals can meet patient needs. Schedule a donation appointment by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood. org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.

As a special thank you, those who come to give by April 30 will automatically be entered for a chance to win one of five $1,000 e-gift cards to a merchant of choice. Additional details are available at rcblood.org/Gift.

The Red Cross is testing blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies. The test may indicate if the donor’s immune system has produced antibodies to this coronavirus, regardless of whether they developed symptoms. Testing may also identify the presence of antibodies developed after

receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

Plasma from routine blood and platelet donations that test positive for high levels of antibodies may be used as convalescent plasma to meet potential future needs of COVID-19 patients. Convalescent plasma is a type of blood product collected from COVID-19 survivors who have antibodies that may help patients who are actively fighting the virus.

The Red Cross is not testing donors to diagnose illness, referred to as a diagnostic test. To protect the health and safety of Red Cross staff and donors, it is important that individuals who do not feel well or believe they may be ill with COVID-19 postpone donation.

At a time when health information has never been more important, the Red Cross is also screening all blood, platelet and plasma donations from self-identified African American donors for the sickle cell trait. This additional screening will provide Black donors with an additional health insight and help the Red Cross identify compatible blood types more quickly to help patients with sickle cell disease.

Blood transfusion is an essential treatment for those with sickle cell disease, and blood donations from individuals of the same race, ethnicity and blood type have a unique ability to help patients fighting sickle cell disease. Donors can expect to receive antibody test and sickle cell trait screening results, if applicable, within one to two weeks through the Red Cross Blood Donor App and the online donor portal at RedCrossBlood.org.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities April 16-30.

Highmark Blue Shield of Northeastern New York announces 2021 Blue Fund Grant cycle LATHAM — Highmark Blue Shield of Northeastern New York’s Blue Fund has opened its 2021 grant cycle, and is now accepting applications online through April 16 for grants to organizations and initiatives that align with at least one of Blue Fund’s key health areas that support the Capital Region’s greatest needs. This includes behavioral health, cardiovascular health, health care workforce development and healthy children.

Independent of Blue Fund, the local health plan is developing a new, laser-focused grant program to address racial and health inequities that is set to launch later this Spring. The new fund will complement and enhance the company’s community giving through partnerships and Blue Fund, which has awarded more than $1 million to organizations and initiatives that work collaboratively to

address key health areas and demonstrate enhanced measurable outcomes since 2018.

“We’re eager to build on our company’s long-legacy of giving back by providing significant and necessary funding to organizations that are doing meaningful work in all corners of our community,” said Keith Dolan, Regional Executive, Highmark Blue Shield of Northeastern New York. “This year’s Blue Fund grants will further our company’s reach in the Capital Region during this time of great need, especially local nonprofits who have felt a significant impact from the pandemic.”

In 2020, the communitybased, not-for-profit health plan pivoted its traditional Blue Fund grant cycle to support the most critical and immediate community needs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This included a $150,000 grant to the Capital

Region Community COVID-19 Response Fund.

Submitting a brief letter of intent (LOI) using Blue Fund’s application system is the required first step in the grantmaking process. Selected applicants will then be invited to submit a full proposal, with funding decisions announced in the fall of 2021. Blue Fund will consider requests for $100,000 to $200,000 grants from not-for-profit organizations in the 13 counties of the Capital Region for initiatives that are ready to implement and demonstrate measurable community outcomes.

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

ROCHESTER — The University of Rochester Medical Center is launching a new center to study the relationship between emotional wellbeing and dementia-related diseases, such as Alzheimer’s.

Ample research has uncovered links between emotional well-being in older adults and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. But little is known about the direction of the relationship. The Network for Emotional WellBeing (NEW) and Brain Aging is a collaboration between researchers from the UR School of Nursing, the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience, the Department of Psychiatry, the UR Aging Institute and their colleagues at other universities across the country. It is one of five networks funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to examine the topic from different angles.

The NEW Brain Aging Center at URMC, established with a four-year, $2.5 million grant from the NIH’s National Institute on Aging, will focus on clarifying two separate mechanistic relationships: the impact of an aging brain on emotional well-being in older adults, and the influence of emotional well-being on brain function and cognitive aging.

“People have been studying aspects of emotional well-being, such as how to be happy or finding a purpose in life, for hundreds of years.

But in terms of understanding how emotional wellbeing is linked to aging and dementia pathologies, this is really new. Nobody has studied it in this way,” said Feng Vankee Lin, PhD, RN, Marie C. Wilson and Joseph C. Wilson Professor in Nursing and associate professor of nursing, neuroscience, psychiatry, neurology, and brain and cognitive sciences, who is the principal investigator on the grant.

“Fully 30% of the patients we see in our system, in inpatient and ambulatory settings, are older adults. They are the fastest growing segment of the population and the most frequent consumers of health care,” said Yeates Conwell, MD, professor of psychiatry, who is a lead investigator on the grant. “The

UR Aging Institute, now with the addition of NEW Brain Aging, will help meet the challenge of assuring not only the health care needs of our older patients are met, but that the quality of life is optimized, as well.”

The NEW Brain Aging Center will be guided by an eightmember executive committee made up of researchers from four universities (University of Rochester, Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of California Santa Cruz), headed by Lin, Conwell, and Kuan Hong Wang, PhD, professor of neuroscience, who is also a lead investigator.

“We knew we needed to know more about the link between emotional well-being and aging, but the COVID-19 pandemic has put a particular urgency into understanding this relationship,” Wang said.

“The pandemic is a stressor particularly threatening to older adults. Some people are already having either mild cognitive impairment or are having Alzheimer’s disease progression. This center will hopefully lead us to a better understanding of the interplay between emotional well-being and aging brain diseases.”

Other URMC co-investigators on the committee include Benjamin Chapman, PhD, MPH, an associate professor of psychiatry, and Jianhui Zhong, PhD, a professor of imaging sciences. Together, the group will organize activities around five core areas: investigator engagement, strategic priority workshops, a resource repository, evaluation, and pilot project grants.

All of the core functions will serve to disseminate the products of the network.

Building an inter-university and transdisciplinary network of investigators with complementary areas of expertise is crucial, said Lin, noting that the network will take a cross-species approach and conduct research on both human and animal subjects in order to broaden understanding of brain mechanisms and develop therapeutic targets for addressing aging-associated concerns of emotional wellbeing. Using behavioral and

brain imaging measures in animal models and comparing those findings to humans, researchers will look to match the observable biomarkers in both, ultimately linking those back to the emotional states. “There are technical challenges to this, we must consider the constraints of the evolutionary distance between the different brain systems, and there must be constant dialogue between the human and animal researchers,” Wang said. “But if we do this, it will allow us access to a more subjective aspect of emotional well-being, something that has not been achieved before.”

Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias affects more than 5 million people in the U.S. and more than 47 million people worldwide, according to the NIH. There are no known treatments to prevent or stop the progression of dementia, and the toll on individuals, caregivers, and society will continue to increase as the population ages unless effective interventions can be developed.

Previous research has established an association between emotional wellbeing and select aspects of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, but it’s unclear whether dementia pathologies are a cause, byproduct, or consequence of declines in mental and emotional health.

“Many people don’t realize that older adults on average are more satisfied with their lives than younger people, in spite of the inevitable stressors that aging brings,” said Conwell. “NEW Brain Aging will help us understand the neural mechanisms underlying that resilience and yield insights into how best to help those who are in distress.”

“The objective of the network is to engage a wide range of investigators in collaborative thinking and research in order to build the field,” said Lin. “We want to be the leaders in the study of the neuromechanisms of emotional well-being and accumulate resources, data, and expertise that can then be provided to networks or other individuals interested in further developing this area of research.”

“Coxsackie has a beautiful waterfront and is a jewel that urban renewal has fortunately missed, so you have this quaint downtown and a beautiful park,” Heck said.

“It’s going to be a great setting when he’s done for attracting events and people. The 45-room hotel will be a higherend boutique hotel and we really need higher-end rooms in the county. This will help meet that need.”

The Newbury Hotel will be a four-story structure with a bridge leading between the original brick building, which will be retained and renovated, and the rest of the hotel.

One area of the original brick building that is currently being worked on will serve as a bridal preparation area upstairs, and the downstairs will be a spa with saunas, exercise equipment and other amenities.

The hotel will have artwork on the walls representing the area’s past and some materials from the original site will be repurposed, Flach said.

“The interior design of the hotel will be like a walk through the history of the old industrial past of the area,” Flach said. “I have some great pictures that will be part of the artwork, we are going to build the front desks out of the original materials we still have. We

will use glass blocks that used to be in the original windows.”

The hotel is named after James Newbury Ironworks, which occupied the original building on the site.

Plans initially called for keeping and building three additional stories on top of a green building on the site, but the foundation of that structure was deemed insufficient to sustain the weight so the building was torn down, Flach said.

The top of the hotel will include a rooftop bar and outdoor seating area with a firepit, according to the construction plans.

The Wire will also retain some of its historical flavor.

“The Wire is named for State Wire and Cable, which is a business that used to be here in the 1940s,” Flach said.

“We want to maintain some of the historical character of the neighborhood — that is why we are reusing some of the original bricks to do a lot of accents in the buildings.”

The event center will host weddings, conferences, banquets, business events and the like.

The hotel will operate yearround and will also serve as a traditional hotel for out-oftown guests and tourists.

“If they just want a weekend getaway, we will have rooftop firepits by the bar so they can sit by the fire and enjoy the riverfront,” Flach said.

The hotel and event center are the first phase of a multiphase project, he said. Work is also ongoing to renovate the former Patrick Henry’s pub on South River Street, which will continue over the summer. Flach is also eyeing storefronts, restaurants and other businesses on South River Street for the future.

“This will mean a lot of jobs and a really cool tourism component that we haven’t had before,” Flach said. “I think it

Biden set to meet with Democrats, Republicans in effort to shore up infrastructure support

By Tony Romm and Jeff Stein The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is set to huddle with centrist Democrats and Republicans on Monday as he embarks on a new sales pitch in an effort to shore up bipartisan support around his roughly $2 trillion proposal to upgrade the nation’s infrastructure.

The White House meeting comes as congressional lawmakers return to Washington this week after a brief spring recess. Many members of Congress support new infrastructure spending, but they are at odds over the size and scope of Biden’s plan - creating partisan divisions that threaten to spoil early hopes for a swift political compromise on a signature element of the president’s economic agenda.

Biden plans to gather with lawmakers including Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell, the top Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee,

and Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, her GOP counterpart.

The panel plays a critical role in congressional debates around railroads and broadband internet access, which form a critical portion of the Biden administration’s infrastructure plan.

Reps. Garret Graves, R-La., and Donald Payne, D-N.J., meanwhile, belong to a separate panel of House lawmakers actively considering legislation to fund and improve the nation’s highways and roadways while implementing new programs to reduce carbon emissions. They will also attend the meeting.

The White House has taken pains to emphasize that all pieces of Biden’s proposal are open to revisions, whether they involve the parameters of the plan or how the president wants to pay for it. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that Biden was “absolutely” willing to negotiate.

President Joe Biden holds a news conference at the White House on Thursday, April 8, 2021.

“He looks forward to hearing their ideas, and his objective

is to find a way forward where we can modernize our nation’s

infrastructure so we can compete with China,” Psaki said Monday in advance of the meeting. “He’s proposed a way to pay for it, which is what he thinks the responsible thing is to do. And he hopes they’ll come to the table with ideas.”

The White House gathering marks a period of intense outreach on the part of the Biden administration, which deputized Cabinet leaders including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg earlier this month to sell the package known as the American Jobs Plan to congressional lawmakers and local government officials nationwide.

The president himself has insisted the White House intends to be bipartisan, and he hopes to adopt a law with GOP support, given the broad political appeal in addressing the country’s infrastructure needs.

But the administration has signaled it does not have a tolerance for endless negotiations,

opening the door for Democrats to act on their own, much as they did with the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package they secured in March.

With infrastructure, the pathways to passage grew increasingly complicated last week. Republican lawmakers blasted Biden’s proposal for its scope, arguing that programs to tackle climate change and social issues including child care did not belong in an infrastructure package. Party leaders also took great issue with its roughly $2 trillion price tag and the accompanying tax increases Biden has put forward to pay for it, prompting Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to predict that Republicans are disinclined to support it in its current form.

Some Democrats, including key centrist Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, raised their own objections to the tax hikes, which would raise the corporate rate to 28% from 21%.

COXSACKIE — Hoosick Falls/Tamarac broke up a close game with 38 unanswered points in the second half to defeat previously unbeaten Coxsackie-Athens, 45-3, in a Section II Class C cross-division game on Friday night.

C-A hadn’t allowed a point in its first two games and surrendered just a touchdown to the potent HF/Tamarac attack in the opening half of Friday’s game. Fatigue set in during the second half,

which led to mistakes and the Wildcats capitalized, scoring six touchdowns over the final two quarters to win their third game without a loss.

Catskill graduate Justice Brantley also played a role in the Pioneers’ victory, scoring eight points and grabbing three rebounds.

Murphy, a senior, averaged seven points and seven rebounds in helping Utica post a 10-2 overall record this year.

He averaged 6.4 points and 7.2 rebounds over his career.

Brantley, a sophomore, averaged five points and 2.3 rebounds this season.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Japan is a golf-crazy country. There are waiting lists for memberships at driving ranges, let alone the best country clubs.

It has had no shortage of worldwide stars such as World Golf Hall of Fame members Isao Aoki and Masashi “Jumbo” Ozaki, and Ozaki’s brothers Naomichi “Joe” and Tateo “Jet.” There also was Shigeki Maruyama, Shingo Katayama, Ryo Ishikawa and in recent years, Hideki Matsuyama, a burly, longhitting, sweet-swinging resident of Sendai, Japan -- who couldn’t return to the Tohuku Fukushi University in 2011 after winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur because of the devastation caused by the Great Sendai Earthquake and the tsunami that followed.

Matsuyama earned his first start in the Masters by winning that tournament. A month later, after the Sendai Earthquake struck, he tied for 27th at the Augusta National Golf Club to earn low amateur honors.

Matsuyama almost didn’t play that year because of the devastation that killed more than 19,000 people. But his family, coach and friends urged him to do it for his country.

Ten years later, Matsuyama has done even more for his country than any previous player: he’s Japan’s first men’s major champion.

Matsuyama resisted the urge to implode on

the final four holes at the Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday and a closing 73 was enough to win the Masters Tournament by one shot over rookie Will Zalatoris (70) at 10-under-par 278.

Two Japanese women have won LPGA majors, Hall of fame member Hisako Higuchi at the 1977 LPGA Championship and Hinako Shibuno at the 2019 Women’s British Open.

Matsuyama also won a week after Japanese 17-year-old Tsubasa Kajitani captured the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in a playoff.

“I can’t say I’m the greatest player from Japan3/8 but I’m the first to win a major,” he said through an interpreter.

“If that’s the bar, then I set it. It’s thrilling to think that a lot of young people in Japan are watching today. I’m happy for them.

Hopefully they’ll be able to follow in my footsteps.”

Jordan Spieth (70) faded early, closed strong late but fell short at 7-under.

Xander Schauffele (72), who played with Matsuyama during both weekend rounds, came within two shots at one point but took a devastating triple-bogey 6 at the par-3 16th hole when his tee shot drifted left into the water. He finished tied with Spieth.

Jon Rahm had the low round of the day with a 66 and Marc Leishman (73) tied at 6-under. Justin Rose, the 18- and 36-hole leader (74) dropped to seventh at 5-under.

Cannoneers too much for Titans; Hudson, ICC post victories Matt Fortunato Columbia-Greene Media

CRARYVILLE — The Taconic Hills Titans lost big on their home field Friday night, 56-22 to the Watervliet Cannoneers.

The Cannoneers were firing on all cylinders from the opening kickoff, and that made it exceedingly difficult for the Titans to put together any offense. Titans’ quarterback Tyler Peck completed 17 of 31 passes for 140 yards, with two touchdowns and three interceptions.

Peck also led the Titans in rushing with 46 yards and one rushing touchdown. Both touchdown passes for Peck went to Charlie Beck who led Taconic Hills with 87 receiving

Knicks blow big lead after water delay, still beat Raptors Stefan Bondy New York Daily News

NEW YORK — With about four minutes left in the third quarter, a leak in Madison Square Garden’s roof prompted a 14-minute delay.

It was the very rare NBA rain delay. Water was gathering on the court but apparently the real damage was to the Knicks.

Fortunately for them, RJ Barrett again plugged the hole.

The 20-year-old budding closer again hit the biggest shot for the Knicks Sunday night, burying a 3-pointer with 34 seconds remaining to highlight a wild and unconventional 102-96 victory over the Raptors.

New York had dominated the visitors for the opening 2 1/2 quarters. But upon resolution of the leak, the home team went cold and the Raptors pounced, quickly erasing a 10-point deficit and taking their first lead of the game with about 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

That set up a crazy finish, with the officials retroactively taking away a Toronto 3-pointer because the shooter stepped out of bounds, and Pascal Siakam inexplicably picking up his dribble on his drive to tie the score in the final seconds.

In the end, the Knicks won with Julius Randle scoring 26 points and Barrett (19 points) coming up clutch for the second straight game.

Every game is important for the Knicks’ playoff hopes or seeding but the Raptors represent, at this point, a unique category of significance. The worst-case scenario for the Knicks, although improbable, is falling to 11th and outside of the play-in tournament. The Raptors occupy 11th in the East and some theoretical upside with recent champions Siakam, Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet on the roster.

(VanVleet did not play Sunday.)

With Sunday’s victory, the Knicks (27-27), seeded seventh, are now six games ahead of Toronto (21-33).

“Obviously we know what they bring to the table. They just won a championship a couple years ago,” Knicks rookie Immanuel Quickley said before the game. “They have a championship pedigree, a championship caliber team, coaches and players. So we got to bring our best effort. We feel like we’re a great team as well.

NHL roundup: Knights’ MarcAndre Fleury gets 66th career shutout Field Level Media

Marc-Andre Fleury made 14 saves for his fifth shutout of the season and moved into a tie with Ed Belfour for fourth place on the all-time wins with his 484th career victory as the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Arizona Coyotes 1-0 on Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas.

Tomas Nosek scored the winner midway through the third period for Vegas, which completed its eighth sweep of a two-game series this season.

Fleury, who had to make just four saves in both the second and third periods, also moved into a tie for 15th place on the NHL’s all-time shutout list with Patrick Roy with 66th career shutout. The 14 shots allowed were a franchiserecord low for Vegas.

Adin Hill finished with 28 saves in his 10th consecutive start for Arizona.

Sabres 5, Flyers 3 Sam Reinhart and four other players scored one goal apiece as visiting Buffalo rallied past Philadelphia.

The Sabres’ other goals came from Arttu Ruotsalainen, Jeff Skinner, Rasmus Asplund and Casey Mittelstadt. Asplund’s third-period tally proved to be the game-winner. Jacob Bryson added two assists for the Sabres and goaltender Linus Ullmark made 40 saves for Buffalo, which overcame a 2-0 deficit in the second period.

Shayne Gostisbehere and Joel Farabee each had one goal and one assist and Oskar Lindblom added one goal for the Flyers. Goaltender Carter Hart stopped 26 shots.

Penguins 5, Devils 2 Jake Guentzel registered his fifth career hat trick and Colton Sceviour scored twice to help visiting Pittsburgh win its third straight game, defeating New Jersey.

Bryan Rust and Mike Matheson each had two assists for the Penguins.

Tristan Jarry stopped 28 of 30 New Jersey shots.

Miles Wood and P.K. Subban scored for New Jersey, which has lost three of four. Mackenzie Blackwood made 19 saves.

Predators 3, Stars 2 (SO) Ryan Johansen scored the lone goal of the

shootout, and Nashville outlasted visiting Dallas.

Opening the shootout, Johansen took his time getting to the net, then drilled the puck past Dallas netminder Anton Khudobin.

Teammate Juuse Saros (24 saves) did his job in the shootout, and the Predators, who own the fourth and final playoff spot in the Central Division, also got goals from Ryan Ellis and Yakov Trenin to win for the 12th time in 15 games.

Roope Hintz had a goal with an assist and defenseman Jamie Oleksiak also scored for the Stars, who were trying for a third straight victory. Khudobin made 18 saves for Dallas, which is 2-11 in games decided past regulation, sits sixth in the Central and six points behind the Predators.

Avalanche 4, Ducks 1 Gabriel Landeskog collected one goal and two assists to reach 500 career points and carry leagueleading Colorado to a road victory over Anaheim.

Andre Burakovsky, Ryan Graves and Nathan MacKinnon also scored for the Avalanche, while goaltender Jonas Johansson made 24 saves. The Avalanche, who finished the season series against Anaheim with a 6-1-1 mark, are riding a 151-2 run.

Jamie Drysdale scored for Anaheim, while John Gibson stopped 33 shots for the Ducks, who sit last in the West Division and have just one win in their last six games (1-4-1).

Capitals 8, Bruins 1 T.J. Oshie, Lars Eller and Conor Sheary each scored two goals as visiting Washington rolled to a blowout victory over Boston.

Oshie also added an assist. Goalie Vitek Vanecek turned in another strong performance, making 34 saves as the Capitals remained tied with the Islanders for first place in the East. New York scored an overtime victory against the Rangers.

The Bruins were hoping that goalie Tuukka Rask might make it back, but Dan Vladar stepped in. He made 25 saves but was constantly under fire.

When we’re clicking on all cylinders defensively we’re great, running in transition. We want to do all the things that has gotten us to that point.”

The Raptors were playing on the second night of a back-to-back and the Knicks pounced, taking an 11-point advantage after the first quarter. Toronto had no answer for Tom Thibodeau’s swarming defense and managed just 42 points in the first half while shooting 31 percent. The regression of Pascal Siakam

(5-for-18 shooting Sunday), an All-NBA player last season, is bad news for Canada’s team.

But they still found form after the MSG roof leak and adopted a zone defense. The Knicks needed another heroic Barrett 3-pointer to recover.

The Raptors have been a mess all season, which is less surprising considering they’ve been forced to temporarily relocate to Tampa Bay because of COVID travel restrictions.

Siakam, the team’s star, was fined $50,000 for heated words directed at his coach. Siakam was also suspended a game for leaving the bench too early. Team president Masai Ujirii flirted with tanking the season to land a high draft pick, and then traded Norm Powell at the trade deadline. Regardless of the circumstances, the Raptors remain in the playoff mix, albeit on the outside looking in.

“I shake my head all the time when I look down and find out we’re only two games out,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. “So that’s encouraging.”

Entering the night, the emergence of Barrett had been the positive development for the Knicks. His 3-point shot, in particular, had improved dramatically from last season, rising to 38.2% heading into Sunday. Nurse, who coaches Barrett on the Canadian national team, has taken notice.

“He’s playing great. He just looks a lot more comfortable to me out there,” Nurse said. “I think he’s certainly making less mistake-type plays. I think he’s playing more efficiently. He’s finishing better. Obviously he’s shooting it great. With confidence and comfort. Even hitting some late in games. So he looks like he’s found his groove and found a good comfort level.”

HF/Tamarac opened the scoring with 5:41 to go in the opening quarter on a 41-yard touchdown pass from sophomore Mike Dagostino to Dylan Baker. Andrew Yeardon’s PAT kick made it 7-0.

The Wildcats had other opportunities to score in the first half, but two fumbles while in the red zone gave the ball back to CoxsackieAthens.

C-A cut into HF/Tamarac’s lead just before the half ended, driving to the Wildcats’ six-yard line with :02 left.

Spencer Tergeoglou came in to boot a 23-yard field, narrowing the gap to 7-3 at the intermission.

C-A seemed to have dodged a bullet at the start of the second half when Josh Colegrove’s 75-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was called back because of a penalty. But on the Wildcats’ first play from scrimmage, Dagostino hit a wide open Bryan Mackey at his own 40 and the sophomore speedster took it the rest of the way untouched for a touchdown.

Later in the stanza, Dagostino tossed a 42-yard touchdown pass to James Blake and Colegrove and Peyton Nealon had scoring runs of 25 and 13 yards respectively, boosting HF/Tamarac’s lead to 32-3 heading into the final

The Titans tried their best to get their legs underneath them and make stops, but the Cannoneers outmatched them on offense and just had to play mistake free and coast the rest of the way.

To begin the fourth quarter, the Titans made a huge stop on fourth down for the Cannoneers. The Titans’ offense would score a touchdown on the very next play, but it was getting too late in the game for them to mount a comeback.

Watervliet sealed Taconic Hills’ fate later in the fourth quarter, thanks to a pair rushing touchdowns, including one on fourth down by Nyheem Pinckney.

Bob Burns and Beck led the Titans’ defense. Burns had six solo tackles, five assists and one interception, while Beck contributed four solos, seven assists and one sack. Patrick Mier had three solos and five assists, Ryan Nielson two solos and four assists and Shane Krause two solos, two assists and one sack.

Matsuyama then hit his second shot into the water at No. 15 and took a bogey, and added another at No. 16 when he three-putted from 41 feet.

But Schauffele, who had gotten within two shots at the 15th with his fourth birdie in a row, inexplicably pushed his tee shot at No. 16 into the water and triple-bogeyed. No one else was close enough to make Matsuyama pay for his mistakes and he was able to play No. 18 for a safe bogey to win.

“I’m chasing,” Schauffele said of his tee shot at the 16th, his first triple-bogey in a major. “If I had a lead, I would have bailed out right or tried to hit some sort of high

left-to-right ball to the right.

I fought hard. It was a messy start. Hideki was robot-like for 13 holes, didn’t make a mistake. I felt like I gave him a little bit of run and a little bit of excitement to the tournament there at the end. Unfortunately, hit it in the drink there.”

Zalatoris, trying to become only the second player to win in his first Masters start (Fuzzy Zoeller did it in 1977), birdied Nos. 15 and 17 to force Matsuyama’s hand.

It wasn’t enough in the end.

But another star was born on the Augusta fairways.

“I’ve wanted to be in this position my entire life,” said the former Wake Forest player,

who was on the Korn Ferry Tour at this time last year. “I don’t need to shy away from it now. Why be timid? I did a really good job of enjoying the moment but not letting it get to me.”

If any player was expected to come back from the pack, it was Spieth, who was the only past Masters champion in the mix on Sunday.

But he bogeyed the first hole, made two more at Nos. 5 and 6 and a second-nine run, with four birdies in a six-hole stretch, was too little, too late.

“I just needed a really good start to have a chance today,” said the 2015 champion at Augusta. “I just didn’t have

a great start. Then it was just kind of the story of the week.

I hit some good putts, burned a lot of lips, certainly struck the ball well enough to win the golf tournament, and they just didn’t go in. Certainly had them go in here plenty of times.”

Other players who finished marveled at how much Matsuyama was in control of his game.

“His iron play is ridiculous,” said Cameron Smith of Ponte Vedra Beach, who tied for 10th for his third top-10 finish in the Masters in four years. “Every time I play with him, he hits his irons, and they’re nice and close every time. I played

with him in the last round of the Asian Amateur in 2011 and he just flushed it all day. We couldn’t catch him.”

Adam Scott, who has played with Matsuyama in Presidents Cups and with him in Japan, predicted that his victory would make Matsuyama even more of a national hero -- if that’s possible.

“It’ll be like it is normally for him, but more exciting,” Scott said. “The crowds in Japan are fanatical about Matsuyama is the best way I can describe them. It makes for an incredibly fun energy to play golf in front of. He’s a bit like a Tiger Woods to the rest of the world.”

RAVENA — Isaiah Maines showed off his versatility on Friday night, scoring three touchdowns to power Hudson to a 37-8 victory over Ravena in a Section II Class B Reinfurt Division game at Ravena High School.

Maines scored on a 10-yard run, threw a 42-yard TD pass to Chris Romano and returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown as the Bluehawks earned their second straight victory.

Romano added a one-yard run, Mike Green had a threeyard run and Kasey Moore kicked four extra points and a 25-yard field goal to complete Hudson’s scoring.

Maines finished with 26 yards rushing on seven carries, had three receptions for 61 yards and completed his only passing attempt for a 42-yard TD. Romano completed 9 of 16 passes for 153 yards and a score and rushed for 29 yards on five carries and a touchdown.

Elite Black caddies, once key advisors to Masters winners, have faded from spotlight Sam Farmer Los Angeles Times

AUGUSTA, Ga. — It wasn’t the steamy Georgia heat that prompted caddie Walter Pritchett to drape a golf towel over his head and under his cap during the final round of the 1971 Masters. He was concerned about the television cameras trained on his golfer, Charles Coody, who should have been a non-factor in the tournament but was a surprise leader.

The gangly Pritchett, an angular collection of knees and elbows nicknamed “Cricket,” had taken a sick day at his other job as a bus driver in Atlanta, and he was terrified his boss might recognize him on the grainy broadcast.

Perhaps it was that cat-and-mouse game that kept Coody loose -- he was unflustered by the great Jack Nicklaus on his heels -- and he went on to collect his biggest career victory by far. His caddie could hide no longer.

“He was supposed to be in Houston,” recalled Coody from his home in Abilene, Texas. “He’d told his boss that his grandmother was sick, and he had to go into disguise. I just about broke up. Then he said, ‘I didn’t expect you to play this good.’ “ Fifty years later, golf has achieved what Pritchett could not. Those career caddies at Augusta National Golf Club, the only competitive role Black people were allowed to play in the storied tournament, have disappeared from sight. A rules change in 1983 cleared the way for golfers to bring their own caddies to the event, as opposed to relying exclusively on club-provided locals, and that has evolved into the top PGA Tour players traveling with personal teams that include nutritionists, chefs, psychologists, and swing coaches.

With a few occasional exceptions, those Black caddies were relegated to history after that rules change. Most of them have died and are best remembered by their glorious nicknames -Iron Man, Cemetery, Cigarette Jones, brothers Do-Hickey and Do-Funny -- whereas some are still around, with

a few of them spending their days playing across town at Augusta Municipal, a public course affectionately known as The Patch.

“The Masters is not like when we was caddying back in the day,” said Buck Moore, who started carrying bags as a teenager in Augusta and eventually worked more than 30 Masters tournaments. “We was geared up for it. The Masters coming this week, everybody knows what they were going to do. We were going to have parties and all that.

It ain’t like that now. It’s kind of like you gotta stay in your lane.”

The topic is in sharp relief these days amid heightened racial tensions around the country, Georgia’s controversial new voting law, and renewed efforts by Augusta National to address inequities in its past. Lee Elder, who in 1975 became the first Black golfer to play in the Masters, was honored Thursday during the ceremonial first tee shot to open the tournament, and Augusta National has partnered with AT&T, Bank of America, IBM, and other companies to invest tens of millions of dollars into underprivileged neighborhoods of the state’s second-largest city.

“It’s a delicate time,” Moore said.

“The eyes of the world are on you.”

And the eyes of these caddies set them apart. They knew every blade of grass on that pristine course, because their everyday job was carrying golf bags for members, sometimes earning more in a day than their parents would make in a week. It’s customary for caddies to be paid 10% of their players’ winnings, which means Pritchett would have made $2,500 for winning with Coody.

How much caddies were relied upon for their input varied from player to player. Coody liked the companionship and needed someone to carry his bag, of course, but didn’t want any help making club selections or reading greens.

“You would converse on some things with your caddie, but it wasn’t like it is out there today,” Coody said.

“These days, it’s like the caddie is giving the player a lesson sometimes. It really blows my mind that a player is standing there and he can’t throw up some grass and figure out which way the wind is blowing. He’s got to throw it up and watch the grass blow away, and then he asks the caddie, ‘Where’s it coming from?’

“The caddies in the old days were good, hard-working people, and they worked hard out there on the tour.

They’d go out and walk the golf course to find out where the pins were, before the PGA would give you pin sheets.

They would have an awful lot of information that you didn’t have. But it wasn’t all the conversation that it is now.

“There was a phrase that used to be used, and it was about six words: Show up, keep up, and shut up. In other words, if I ask you something, then give me an answer. But you’d better be right with your answer.”

Gary Player, who won three green jackets, said the best caddie he ever had was Ernest Nipper, who first carried the bag for him in 1959.

“He was a very good golfer. He lived here. He knew his greens inside out,” Player said.

“I vividly remember getting on the fourth hole, and I had a putt of about six foot for a par from the left-hand side of the putt and the flag was back left, and I said, ‘Nipper, this is left lip.’

“He says, ‘Black Knight, this is on the right lip.’

“I said, ‘It’s not, it’s on the left lip.’

“He says, ‘If it’s not on the right lip, you don’t have to pay me.’

“I said, ‘Now I’m convinced.’ “ In 1979, Jerry “Bubba” Beard caddied for Fuzzy Zoeller, who led the tournament wire-to-wire and became just the third player in history to win the Masters in his first appearance.

The other two came in 1934 and ‘35, within two years of when Augusta National was founded.

“Ask Fuzzy,” said Beard, 80, who has the trim physique of someone half his age. “He said he played like a blind

man with a seeing-eye dog.”

The Patch is a favorite hangout for Tommy Bennett, who in 1995 caddied for a 19-year-old amateur named Tiger Woods, playing in his first Masters.

Woods would tie for 41st and make a PGA Tour cut for the first time in eight starts, but Bennett was sure the kid was making a rookie mistake when his bag was conspicuously light on golf balls.

“We go to the range, then I go in his bag to take the putter out, and he’s got three golf balls,” Bennett said. “I’m searching, and dang. He comes up and says, ‘What’s up?’ And I said, ‘Man, listen, you ain’t got but three golf balls.’

He said that’s all he needed. It’s Augusta National. I started sweating and I’m like, ‘does this kid know what he’s doing?

“He played with two golf balls that day, and after 18 he had one left. He said, ‘I told ya.’ Never lost a ball.”

Bennett was known as “Burnt Biscuits,” because he suffered burns on his legs as a kid when he tried to steal his grandmother’s freshly baked biscuits. He was a good enough caddie to keep his job even after tour pros stopped using locals, working for Raymond Floyd, Tommy Aaron, Al Geiberger, Andy North and others.

Some caddies weren’t as suited for the job.

“My experience here is I came here the first time in 1959, and I had a fellow that actually came from -- I don’t know how much he caddied here, but he caddied here -- from Atlanta named Pon. And Pon, that’s all I knew him by, caddied for me the first year, and I played decently but didn’t make the cut,” recalled Nicklaus, the Masters’ only six-time winner.

“The next year I came back, and I remember Freddie, the caddie master, said, ‘Pon, Mr. Nicklaus is here. He’s ready to get out and go play.’ He said, ‘Well, I don’t want to caddie for Mr. Nicklaus.’

‘Why don’t you want to caddie for Mr. Nicklaus?’

‘He worked too hard.’ He says, ‘He comes too early and he leaves too late. I

don’t want to do that.’ “ So Nicklaus switched to Willie Peterson, who first caddied in the Masters at 16 and never worked the tournament for the same player twice. In that allwhite caddie jumpsuit, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and a towel swinging over his head, Peterson was on the bag when Nicklaus won green jackets in 1963, ‘65, ‘66, ‘72 and ‘75.

When Nicklaus drained a twisting, undulating 38-foot putt on the parthree 16th hole on his way to winning the tournament in 1975, Peterson was leaping with euphoria even before the ball dropped in the hole. Legendary Sports Illustrated writer Dan Jenkins likened Nicklaus and Peterson to Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers with the way they gracefully worked the green. Peterson and Nicklaus were in synch, yet had completely different personalities.

“Willie was unbelievably outgoing, like a guy at a baseball game waving his towel when there’s a home run,” said Ward Clayton, author of “Men on the Bag: The Caddies of Augusta National.”

“He’d go make these stupid wagers with people, because he was confident, he was cocky. Really a personality. Whereas Jack was very reserved when he played golf. Jack didn’t want him to read putts, didn’t want him to club him. It didn’t matter who was caddying for him. Jack was his own guy.

But at the same time, Willie kept him loose. He was a psychologist, almost.”

Of the four major championships, by the late 1970s, the Masters was the only one that did not allow competitors to bring caddies from outside the club. There was more money in golf, the purses were more lucrative, and players wanted caddies with whom they worked on a year-round basis.

“Can you imagine being in a position where you work all year long with a partner, and then one week in one of the biggest tournaments of the year you’re not allowed to work with him?”

Clayton said. “They kept pushing Augusta to let them bring their own caddies.

Man’s tattoos draw fire from disapproving wife Dear Abby, My tattoos are destroying my marriage, and I just don’t understand why. I’m a 56-year-old elementary art teacher and the father of three grown children. Since I was young, I have loved the artistic expression of tattoos, and I ALDEAR ABBY WAYS envisioned having them, lots of them.

It had been about 10 years since my last one, but I decided to get another one. Telling my wife about wanting another one was awful. My wife of 28 years hates tattoos. We have terrible arguments every time I get one.

I have covered my entire upper body. (Other than my hands, none of them are visible while I’m wearing my work clothes.) I love them.

I just returned home with roses tattooed on my hands, and my wife is ready to leave me. She says I have gone too far with all my ink. I’m a responsible and respectful person. I don’t drink, smoke, gamble or have any destructive vices.

I’m highly regarded as a leader and role model at my school.

Am I the problem, or is her perception of tattoos the issue? Please, any advice would be greatly accepted. I can’t understand her stance on this.

Art In Las Vegas

JEANNE PHILLIPS

It is your body, and you have the right to do what you want with it. While not everyone is a fan of body art, I assume that you had tattoos before you and your wife married. It is possible that over the years, when you told your wife you were getting more, knowing her feelings about it, it came

across to her as disrespectful of her feelings. As you have acquired more and more, it may have felt to her like one insult piled on another.

Having never spoken with your wife, I can’t guess her reason for talking about leaving you, but it’s important you ask why those roses were the last straw. (Am I correct in assuming there’s no place else on your “canvas” that hasn’t been illustrated?)

Dear Abby, My husband and I have been married 20-plus years. His mother has never liked me. I have never done anything to her or her husband.

My father-in-law passed away two years back, and my mother-in-law is older. If something happens to her, how am I supposed to react? I know I have to be there for my husband.

My husband and I get along wonderfully, but at the same time, I would feel like a hypocrite if I went to her funeral. We haven’t spoken in over a year.

Other family members have repeated things she has said about me as well as my family. I put up with her behavior for years. I only quit talking to her or going around her a year ago.

Hates Hypocrisy In Michigan Funerals are for the living. Do not succumb to the temptation to use your mother-in-law’s as a platform to demonstrate your dislike of her. Attend the funeral and comfort your husband, who likely will be hurting and need your support. And when you do, ABOVE ALL, refrain from humming, “Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead.”

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are not an easy nut to crack, and those who think they know you well are almost certain to be disappointed at some time when you fail to meet their expectations or dash their hopes in some way simply because you are not who they thought you were. The truth is that you were what they thought you were — and a lot more, and it’s that “more” that is the tricky part of your robust and complicated personality.

You are not as outwardly forceful as some who share your birth sign, and yet there is something deep within you that shines far more brightly than anyone else within your sphere of activity or influence. You are usually quite soft-spoken — but for that reason, when you do speak, you are heard, and your words can surely resonate among a large audience for a long time.

Also born on this date are: Thomas Jefferson, U.S. president; Al Green, singer; Ron Perlman, actor; Tony Dow, actor; Hunter Pence, baseball player; Rick Schroder, actor; Don Adams, actor and comedian; Samuel Beckett, playwright.

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

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14 ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Energy waxes and wanes today, but if you manage it wisely, you’ll be able to ride what comes in expert fashion. Others are paying attention.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You’re in no mood for the same old stories today, but take care you’re not turning away from that which can actually do you some good!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Why are you so concerned with what others are thinking? There

is much more to take up your time than their opinions — whether right or wrong.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You sense that you’re nearing a crossroads of some kind — and you wouldn’t be wrong, exactly, though the specifics are not yet known.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Now is no time to hide behind any kind of falsehood. Focus on the truth — and on ways to promote it among others. You’ll do what’s necessary.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your capacity for critical thinking will be put to the test today.

Don’t let others know what you’re thinking until it’s time to tell all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Your plans may clash with another’s today, but that’s no reason to abandon them. Indeed, there is much to be said for working together.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — There is a lot going on today that you will find interesting.

Including a friend or loved one can better your odds, but make no assumptions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You’ll receive instructions today that seem to go against your overall intent, but you can do nothing about it if you say nothing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You may come up with the “big idea” today, but success or failure will lie in the details. You may require some assistance in this regard.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You’re likely to experience something today that sets you on a path to discovery, and your enthusiasm increases exponentially.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You mustn’t allow yourself to display any frustration today, no matter how slowly you may be going. There’s a reason you can’t yet speed up.
