DURHAM — Dorothee Walliser and Diane Ormrod have made the difficult decision to put their beloved bed and breakfast up for sale after trying to navigate roadblocks to expand their business for the past year.

The pair opened DeWitt Oak Hill in 2015. The building located on Route 81 in Oak Hill, was built in 1865 as the “W.F. DeWitt Hotel” and was in operation until the early 20th century. The building was

added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 2001.

Walliser and Ormrod had plans to expand the bed and breakfast by adding a cocktail lounge.

But to obtain a liquor license, the business had to serve hot food with the alcoholic beverages, the septic system and well had to be 200 feet apart, which was not possible on the 0.36-acre property.

Instead, Walliser and Ormrod listed the property for sale for $569,000.

Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-102, who advocated to the

state Department of Health for a waiver for the business, said the decision to sell was heartbreaking.

“These folks have come in and invested their life savings in this building and now they’ve put it up for sale, which is quite heartbreaking, to be honest,” Tague said.

“They had a beautiful place there. They put their heart and soul into this business and had a great business plan.”

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

People react as they hear the news of a guilty verdict in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the killing of George Floyd, Tuesday afternoon, April 20, 2021, at the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis.

CATSKILL — Several Greene County officials and community members voiced their relief with the conviction of former police officer Derek Chauvin, while others said it is not enough.

Chauvin, a 19-year veteran of the Minneapolis Police Department, attempted to take George Floyd, 46, into custody last spring for allegedly using a $20 counterfeit bill. Chauvin kneeled on Floyd’s neck for nine minutes and 29 seconds as Floyd cried out for air.

Floyd’s death at the hands of Chauvin was captured on video by a bystander and sparked civil unrest across the nation.

Chauvin, 45, was found guilty Tuesday of second-degree manslaughter, second-degree unintentional murder and third-degree murder and could face up to 40 years in prison.

Catskill Central School District Superintendent Ronel Cook, who served on the county’s police reform committee, supported the verdict, adding that other

injustices also need to be looked at.

“I believe that yesterday’s guilty verdict is congruent to the crime that was committed against Mr. Floyd, but it

should not serve as a band-aid for the other incidents where law enforcement was not held accountable for murdering black and brown people,” Cook said.

“Soon after the Chauvin conviction, a 14-year-old child from Columbus, Ohio, tragically succumbed to her injuries after being shot by an officer. As a result, I am cautiously optimistic that future relations between law enforcement and the Black community will improve. Nevertheless, we need to teach our children how to respond appropriately when stopped by law enforcement in the community.”

Catskill resident Mercedes Brantley echoed similar remarks.

“It’s really not a win for anybody,” she said. “It’s accountability being applied and I guess that’s a start. Cops were still killing people during the trial. During the verdict, a 15-year-old was shot and killed by police out in Ohio. Police are still killing people all over the country.”

Cook and Brantley were referring to the death of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant who was shot and killed during an altercation with police in Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday.

Jail inmate from Catskill charged with assault

By Bill Williams Columbia-Greene Media

COLONIE — A Greene County man housed at the Albany County Jail was arrested Tuesday on new charges for allegedly assaulting a corrections officer at the jail, Albany County Sheriff Craig D. Apple Sr. said Wednesday.

John A. Southard, 31, was arrested following an investigation by Albany County sheriff’s deputies into an assault on a staff member committed inside the Albany County Jail on Albany Shaker Road, Apple said.

Southard was charged with second-degree assault, a class D felony, and criminal obstruction of breathing, a class A misdemeanor, Apple said.

Southard allegedly walked up to the unidentified corrections officer and put him in a headlock, Apple said. The officer had cuts to his mouth following the incident.

Southard is scheduled to be arraigned in Colonie Town Court this week.

Southard is being held at the Albany County Jail on burglary and larceny charges for incidents that allegedly

took place in Catskill and Coxsackie, Greene County District Attorney Joseph Stanzione said.

John A. Southard Southard was arrested

by Catskill police on July 14, 2020, for allegedly breaking into a building at 342 Main St. in the village. He was charged with burglary and attempted larceny, Stanzione said.

Southard was then taken to the Greene County Sheriff’s

Office in Coxsackie. While he was in a holding cell, he attempted to fight with sheriff’s deputies, injuring three of them, Stanzione said.

For that, Southard was additionally charged with three counts of second-degree assault, a felony, Stanzione said.

Because of coronavirus concerns and restrictions, no trial date has been set for Southard in Greene County Court, Stanzione said.

Since the Greene County Jail was ordered closed in 2018, Greene County inmates have been housed in

Columbia, Albany and Ulster counties.

The new Greene County Jail is scheduled to begin accepting inmates in July. The administrative section of the new jail has received a temporary certificate of occupancy and administrative personnel have begun relocating to the new facility.

The 64-bed facility is funded by a $39 million bond from Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc., and an $8.1 million contribution from Greene County.

vehicles.

On paper, the lower emissions standards were signed jointly by the EPA and the Transportation Department’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. But according to the inspector general’s report, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt decided that the NHTSA, and not his own experts, would complete “all modeling and analysis on behalf of both agencies.”

The result was that many EPA staffers felt shut out of the process of making one of the agency’s most important rules.

One manager at its Office of Air and Radiation told investigators that “no one at the EPA ever saw NHTSA’s model or input files” in the six months leading up to the release of the final rule.

Jeff Alson, a former engineer at the EPA’s vehicles lab in Ann Arbor, Mich., who retired in 2018, said Tuesday that staffers at the two entities worked closely to set greenhouse gas standards for new cars and trucks under Obama. That kind of collaboration didn’t

happen under President Donald Trump, he said.

“I feel like it really confirmed what I had seen,” Alson said of the inspector general’s investigation.

The Trump administration’s decision also meant the EPA failed to properly analyze the rollback’s impact on Americans especially vulnerable to auto emissions, including poor and minority communities often situated near highways and children susceptible to developing asthma, according to the report.

Environmental groups cheered the report’s release, as did Democrats in Congress who previously raised concerns about how the Trump administration watered down auto standards.

“Like many things in life, how you conduct yourself matters. This is especially true when it comes to agencies engaged in federal rulemaking,” said Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-Del.), who chairs the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and who initially requested the

inspector general’s review.

“Government actions affect the health and well-being of people across our country and our planet, so it’s critical that these decisions are made through a deliberate, thoughtful process.”

Alice Henderson, a senior attorney at the Environmental Defense Fund, said the EPA must now “step up to its statutory role and responsibility to protect human health” as it again considers auto emissions standards. Before the end of the month, the agency is expected to restore California’s authority to set its own car pollution rules, which was revoked under Trump. And Biden’s EPA chief, Michael Regan, has said the administration is aiming to propose new nationwide limits on greenhouse gas emissions from cars

by July.

Nick Conger, a spokesman for Regan, said the agency “appreciates” the inspector general’s probe and “values transparency in the rulemaking process.”

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration sidelined career staffers at the Environmental Protection Agency when weakening pollution rules for new passenger vehicles, according to a federal watchdog report.

The EPA’s inspector general found top political leaders at the agency failed to properly document and consider the concerns of staff experts while unwinding standards for tailpipe emissions set under President Barack Obama.

The report, released Tuesday, may provide fresh fodder for the Biden administration to tighten mileage and greenhouse gas standards for new automobiles as part of a broader effort to phase out internal-combustion engines and drastically cut the nation’s climate-warming emissions.

President Joe Biden’s team is in the midst of negotiations with carmakers, autoworkers and environmentalists for new pollution standards for new vehicles, aiming to protect factory jobs and cut emissions.

The industry wants generous government incentives for producing cleaner cars, while labor leaders want to stave off job losses during the transition to electric vehicles.

The outcome of the talks will be crucial for U.S. climate goals because the transportation sector is the nation’s largest source of emissions, according to the EPA. In 2020, the Trump administration finalized a rule compelling car companies to improve the average fuel economy of their fleets by only 1.5 percent a year - a step back from the 5 percent annual increase set under Obama. Officials argued that forcing automakers to improve the efficiency too quickly would make cars too expensive, prodding people to keep driving older, less safe

WASHINGTON — Progressive lawmakers on Wednesday introduced the latest version of legislation to make four years of college or university free for most families in the country, paid for by new taxes on stock and bond transactions.

The legislation, led by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, DWash., would also double the maximum Pell Grant award to nearly $13,000 and spend billions more on historically Black colleges and universities and programs for disadvantaged students.

“It is absolutely unacceptable that hundreds of thousands of bright young Americans do not get a higher education each year, not because they are unqualified, but because their family does not have enough money,” Sanders said in an announcement.

The bill would guarantee tuition-free community college for all students and allow students from families earning less than $125,000 to attend a public college or university for free. Sponsors said leveraging speculation on Wall Street would fund the education

plan. A separate bill unveiled Wednesday would place a 0.5 percent tax on stock transactions, a 0.1 tax on bond transactions and a 0.005 percent tax on derivatives.

“While President Biden can and should immediately cancel student debt for millions of borrowers, Congress must ensure that working families never have to take out these crushing loans to receive a higher education in the first place,” Jayapal said in the announcement.

Sanders and Jayapal have introduced similar legislation before, including last Congress, but it’s the first time they have introduced the measure with Democratic control of the Senate. President Joe Biden endorsed part of the 2017 version of the bill during his presidential campaign, but the legislation unveiled Wednesday goes further than that.

The Biden campaign promised to make two years of community college tuition free and provide tuition- free four-year college. The campaign did not mention expanding some programs, such as federal TRIO Programs for disadvantaged students, that target lowincome or first-generation college students. It also didn’t

include the funding mechanism that would tax stock and bond transactions.

Sanders, Jayapal and other progressives also have pushed the Biden administration to forgive up to $50,000 in student loan debt without the need for legislation.

Biden’s first budget proposal, released earlier this month, proposed a much smaller increase in Pell Grant awards, up to $6,895, as part of a record proposed increase in Department of Education funding.

The current maximum for the 2021-22 school year is $6,495.

Expanding federal support for college education has bubbled up in Democratic politics for years -- President Barack Obama spotlighted it in his 2015 State of the Union address -- but it has not taken off.

The tuition-free college push from progressives may factor into any further talks over a broader bill on higher education. Talks have been on the back burner since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

In 2019, the House Education and Labor Committee took up a Higher Education Act reauthorization, but it did not pass the chamber. Former Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee led the Republican side on efforts to renew the bill before his retirement at the end of last Congress. (c)2021 CQ Roll Call Distributed

Second Baptist, YMCA to feed the hungry

By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — The Second Baptist Church of Catskill will hold its fourth mass food distribution in Catskill on Thursday.

Residents in need can receive a 35-pound box of food outside the church Thursday beginning at 11 a.m.

“No registration is needed,” the Rev. Richard Turpin said. “All you need to do is get in line and tell us how many families and whether you want us to put it in the trunk or the back seat.”

Second Baptist will be distributing 500 boxes this week, Turpin said.

“They go pretty quick,” he said. “There’s a need in our village.”

The Greene County YMCA will be distributing

1,200 boxes on Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon. The boxes are from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farmers to Families Food Box program. Previous orders have contained apples, onions, potatoes, yogurt or cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, milk and other products.

More than 159 million boxes of food have been distributed through this program across the nation since its inception in April 2020.

OUR VIEW

It’s illogical to refuse vaccinations It makes perfect sense in the upside-down world of COVID-19 that as infection rates slowly rise, the demand for more vaccinations slowly declines.

In Columbia County, the Department of Health reported two new COVIDrelated deaths Monday.

The latest deaths bring the toll of COVID fatalities in the county up to 93 since the beginning of the pandemic.

So what happens? At a vaccination pod last Friday, the county had 220 shots available but were able to administer only 121. As of Thursday afternoon, the county had only 50 people sign up for that pod. The department

of health call center had to reach out to local businesses, restaurants in particular, and got more people signed up to receive the vaccine.

“We’re in the same shape that everyone around us is,” Columbia County Health Department Director Jack Mabb said Tuesday.

Sadly, Mabb is right.

In Greene County, Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger, of New Baltimore, said fewer people are vying for vaccine appointments than in past months. As the supply of vaccines has increased in the state and more people have received their vaccinations, there has not been the same

demand for those appointments.

“It’s like any other virus,” Linger said last week.

“I think there’s always going to be a certain percentage that is always going to be there.”

That is a dim forecast for the impending summer.

We’re seeing the number of deaths in this region starting to creep up again, yet fewer people here are seeking vaccinations. That doesn’t add up. If we are to defeat COVID, as many people as possible must be vaccinated. It’s far better to be inoculated than to risk another coronavirus wave.

DEA Take Back Day is April 24 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. has seen an increase in opioid overdose deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 83,544 Americans overdosing during the 12-month period ending July 1, 2020, the most ever recorded in a 12-month period. The increase in drug overdose deaths appeared to begin prior to the COVID-19 health emergency, but accelerated significantly during the first months of the pandemic.

Opioid use disorder — often called drug addiction or dependence — has had a devastating impact here in Columbia County when you look at the number of lives we’ve lost, families broken apart, and the financial burden placed on medical professionals, law enforcement, and social services. For the period of January 1st to April 20th, Columbia County has seen a 45% increase in suspected non-fatal overdoses, from 20 in 2020 to 29 in 2021 for the period stated and a 100% increase in suspected fatal overdoses, from 2 in 2020 to 4 in 2021 for the period stated.

Early intervention and prevention efforts are essential strategies for helping end opioid overdoses. One way to protect your loved ones from opioid use disorder is by participating in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Drug Take Back Day 10 a.m.-2 p.m. April 24.

Individuals can properly and safely dispose of their leftover or expired medication

Additionally, if we want to see people with opioid use disorder in Columbia County back in jobs and school, caring for families, contributing to society, we have to make sure that medications for opioid use disorder — such as naltrexone, methadone, and buprenorphine—are readily available.

We need to be a community that respects the courage it takes to live with and overcome opioid use disorder. We need to understand that use of medications for opioid use disorder is not “swapping one drug addiction for another…” it is a way to treat a brain that has been in effect rewired by excessive exposure to opioids.

These medications have been scientifically shown to be the most reliable and effective

treatment currently available.

The HEALing Communities Study, led by four major university medical centers and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, is partnering with communities in four states (KY, MA, NY, OH) to test a set of interventions to combat the opioid crisis. The study aims to reduce opioid overdose deaths by 40 percent over 3 years in participating communities. This goal cannot be reached without increasing the number of people with opioid use disorder who begin medication treatment and stay in medication treatment for six months or more. The longer you stay in treatment, the greater chance of success.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

What to do on Earth Day

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Lawmakers’ comments troubling To the editor: Recently, the Daily Mail carried a story about a far right, anti-government group called the Oath Keepers and the reported membership of former Greene County Sheriff Greg Seeley. There were responses on the subject of the Oath Keepers from two respected current legislators.

However, I found these responses to the reporter’s questions troubling. Essentially, both gentlemen felt that law enforcement employees could join any organization of their choosing, and that it was their right as an individual to believe what they wish and associate with any group regardless of their beliefs.

I beg to differ with this viewpoint. Reading from the Oath Keepers website, one learns that Oath Keepers believe that it is the right of a law enforcement employee to decide which laws and orders are unconstitutional and then

refuse to execute said orders.

I certainly don’t feel that it is a right of those law enforcement personnel to take it upon themselves and decide unilaterally that an order is unconstitutional or wrongfully given. Certainly, we members of the general public are not able to decide which laws we will purposely choose to disobey.

The Oath Keepers is an extremist right wing organization with some very strange ideas. For example, they believe that conspiracies are everywhere and that the leaders in those conspiracies are trying to take over our government and waiting to place thousands of Americans in concentration camps. Of course, several of their members are alleged to have taken part in the horrendous storming of our Capitol and are now being investigated.

Some seem to feel that law enforcement personnel have

a right to join organizations of their choice regardless of the beliefs of those groups. That line of reasoning would lead us to ask whether membership in the Ku Klux Klan or the Nazi Party would be acceptable so long as it was carried out off duty. The problem is that those beliefs will surely color their conduct as they perform their duties. As Rev. Turpin states in the same article, it is very doubtful that an individual who was a member of the Black Panthers would be accepted as a law enforcement employee.

No, it is not alright, for those who we want to trust and revere to be members of secretive, anti-government organizations that somehow feel that they have become self-anointed protectors of this country. We, the people, may now need protection from them.

CHRISTIAN PFISTER ATHENS

To the editor: What should we do for Earth Day this year? President Biden is observing it by hosting leaders from 40 countries for a virtual World Leaders Summit on Climate. He’s already proposed investing some $500 billion of his $2 trillion infrastructure plan on measures aimed at reducing harmful carbon emissions, accelerating our transition to renewable energy, and protecting localities from climate-related disasters. OK....

Then last week in the Register-Star, I read an editorial from the Washington Post arguing that the proposed expenditures and mandates may be too narrowly focused. It noted that mandating “clean” electricity covers “just one part of the emissions picture,” and targeted investments such as electric vehicle charging infrastructure or home retrofits “may not perform as expected.”

What’s missing, the WaPo says, is an “economywide spur to private companies

and consumers to make greener choices...through a carbon tax. Put a high enough price on polluting, and massive cuts in emissions would be guaranteed,” regardless of how government-funded efforts perform.

As it happens, that solution actually exists in a bill recently introduced in the House of Representatives: the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 2307). Launched by Rep. Ted Deutch (FL), with 41 cosponsors to date, it would put a rising price on carbon pollution that gets America to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Further, it would protect consumers from rising costs by returning the revenue to US households through monthly dividend checks.

The commonsense approach of carbon pricing coupled with protection for low-to-middle-income households has been gaining traction recently across the country. Citizens’ Climate Lobby, a volunteer

Kentucky Rep. Rogers fined $5,000 for skipping security screening

By Chris Marquette CQ-Roll Call

WASHINGTON — Rep. Harold Rogers is facing a $5,000 fine after bypassing a security check on his way to the House floor, becoming the third Republican to be handed the penalty after violating a rule adopted in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

The Kentucky Republican set off a magnetometer last week on his way to the chamber floor and brushed off a Capitol Police officer’s request to screen him with a wand.

Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas received a $5,000 fine, and

Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia received one for $15,000. Both unsuccessfully appealed to the House Ethics Committee.

Clyde is taking his matter to federal court.

When the officer told Rogers he needed to be screened by the wand, the lawmaker responded, After voting, Rogers returned to the post and asked what he needed to do. The officer told Rogers that screening needs to be completed prior to entering the chamber. (c)2021 CQ Roll Call Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC

Business owners wait on cannabis board appointments

By Kate Lisa Johnson Newspaper Corp.

ALBANY — Officials continue to review potential appointees to the state’s Office of Cannabis Management and Cannabis Control Board — the entities to license and regulate the state’s new market for adult-use recreational marijuana — as New Yorkers wait on more specifics to enter the business.

The board will make critical market decisions, such as the number of licenses to grant to cultivators, processors, distributors, dispensaries and others, the application process and acceptance periods.

The Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act, which Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law March 31, legalized recreational marijuana use for adults 21 years of age and older and immediately expunged marijuana-related convictions from New Yorkers’ records The law established the Office of Cannabis Management, the Cannabis Control Board and Cannabis Advisory to regulate the industry.

The Control Board will consist of five members with three appointed by the governor, including the chair, and one appointment by each of house of the Legislature.

The Advisory Board will have 13 voting members with seven appointed by the governor and two from each legislative chamber.

Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D-Yonkers, on Tuesday said leaders are reviewing candidates, but not close to making a decision for appointments.

“We’re not nearing it, but we certainly are [focusing] on it,” she said. “It’s on my agenda, but I won’t say I’m nearing it, no.”

Appointments are expected to be made by the summer, Stewart-Cousins said.

The advisory board will make recommendations to the Control Board, and will administer

and govern the distribution of social equity and community reinvestment grants.

The board members will also approve the social and economic equity plan, final decisions of any appeals and promulgate industry rules and regulations.

At least 50% of licenses will be issued to social equity applicants involved in the adult-use program. The social and economic equity plan will outline the criteria to prioritize certain applicants, including womenowned businesses, businesses owned by minorities or people of color, service-disabled veterans and small farm operators in financial hardship or farms operated by someone in an underrepresented demographic.

“Social equity is an access to opportunity, and to achieve that, it’s imperative you have a smart market design,” said Chris Alexander, government relations and policy manager at Viola and former associate counsel in the New York State Senate.

Alexander was one of several panelists to participate in a three-hour state Bar Association forum Tuesday dissecting the details of the MRTA. “The fact New York has an incredibly limited program currently, it does wonders to make sure we can implement a strong equity process,” he added. “Because of space, it’s central to making sure there

are multiple access points and for the market not to be documented by major players.”

Applicants who make 80% or less of their county’s median income, impacted by the war on drugs who have, or a close relative has, a marijuana-related conviction, will be given additional priority for licensure.

The advisory boards under the office will prioritize at least half of license applicants to social equity applicants involved in the adult-use program. Potential licenses include cultivator, processor, distributor, dispensary, delivery and microbusiness in addition to onsite consumption to sell marijuana products, cooperative licenses for groups to cultivate, grow and process cannabis and licenses for nurseries to sell seedling marijuana plants before they flower.

A chief equity officer will task the implementation of the social and economic equity plan to ensure the revenue and legalization is reinvested in communities most disproportionately affected by past drug policies, including minority communities of color.

“The flexibility of the fund is really significant,” Lynelle Bosworth, a shareholder with international firm Greenberg Traurig said Tuesday.

Stewart-Cousins previously discussed, Bosworth said, how the money could help a variety of households, such as

NY pols praise Chauvin guilty verdict

By Kate Lisa Johnson Newspaper Corp.

State legislators and officials solemnly celebrated justice, they said Tuesday, following the guilty verdict of Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murder in the death of George Floyd last May. After deliberating for less than 12 hours, the jury returned its verdict Tuesday on Chauvin, a white former officer who was charged with manslaughter, second-degree murder and third-degree murder in the death of Floyd, a Black man.

Chauvin, 45, could be sentenced to 40 years in prison.

“This guilty verdict says what so many of us have known for a year — George Floyd was murdered by an officer sworn to protect and serve, but this verdict doesn’t mean the persistent problem of police misconduct was solved,” U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., posted to Twitter after Tuesday’s decision. “George Floyd should be alive. We are working for real change.”

In Detroit, the verdict came as snow fell, and a few dozen protesters gathered outside Detroit Public Safety headquarters prepared to speak out if the verdict had gone a different way.

They applauded the verdict, but refrained from celebrating.

Schumer rejoiced that justice was served, he said in a statement, but said Floyd’s killing, which were the catalyst for months of Black Lives Matter protests, demonstrations and conversations about racial equity around the globe, changed the nation forever.

“We should not mistake a guilty verdict in this case as evidence that the persistent problem of police misconduct has been solved or that the divide between law enforcement and

so many of the communities they serve has been bridged,” Schumer said. “We must remain diligent in our efforts to bring meainingful change to police departments across the country.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order last June mandating the state’s roughly 500 police agencies adopt a reformed code into local law to build trust with communities in response to Floyd’s death and the related unrest.

Cuomo hoped for closure for Floyd’s family, he said Tuesday, but called for a continued push against systemic racism.

“The verdicts delivered today were a powerful statement of accountability,” the governor said in a statement. “...But while I’m grateful that the jury returned these verdicts, accountability is not the same as justice.

It doesn’t make an unacceptable situation acceptable, and it doesn’t bring Gianna’s dad back. But it must fuel our continued march towards equity.

“Emmett Till. Medgar Evers.

Rodney King. Amadou Diallo.

Sean Bell. Trayvon Martin. Eric Garner. Michael Brown. Philando Castile. Ahmaud Arbery.

Breonna Taylor. George Floyd.

Daunte Wright. Adam Toledo.

Our country has never fully lived up to its founding ideal, of liberty and justice for all.

Still, our greatest attribute has always been our optimism, our belief in an ever better future, our faith in the strength of humanity. We saw that faith in streets across the country last summer and over the last 11 months. Our charge now is to channel our grief, our anger, our righteous energy, and make real, positive, and long-overdue change happen.”

The graphic video of Floyd’s killing, which was presented

as evidence during the trial, show several bystanders urged Chauvin — who pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes — to stop applying pressure. Before his body went limp on the pavement, Floyd, 46, also pleaded with the officer, telling him he couldn’t breathe.

U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, referred to his statement on the verdict posted to Twitter on Tuesday night.

“Today’s verdict will not brig George Floyd back to his family and loved ones, but it does deliver accountability,” Delgado said. “And while the verdict by itself will not heal the devastatingly deep and tragically persistent wounds our nation carries born of racial oppression, may it inspire us all to earnestly and thoughtfully, with love in our hearts, confront the scourge of racism that lives with us daily.”

Prosecutors in Minneapolis called dozens of witnesses — people at the scene, law enforcement, medical experts — to prove their case that Chauvin’s force was excessive and not in line with police department policy.

“Today’s verdict delivers a small measure of justice to the family of George Floyd, but nothing can ever erase the pain of losing a loved one,” U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, said.

“Our nation remains in a moment of moral reckoning and we must take bold and decisive action. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to address the systemic and institutional racism that plagues our criminal justice system and continues to lead to the deaths of countless Black Americans.”

State Attorney General Letitia James remarked after Tuesday’s verdict that George

Floyd’s family and communities across the nation were torn apart by his killing last Memorial Day. “We all watched in helpless desperation as a man was mercilessly killed by the knee of a police officer,” she said in a statement. “Today, there is finally accountability for this atrocious crime that stole the life of a father, brother, son, and friend. I pray that the Floyd family finds some semblance of justice and peace for this horribly unjust act. While true justice will never be served as long as Black men and women are subjected to such inequality, today, we are one step closer to a fairer system.”

State University of New York Chancellor Jim Malatras assured students, faculty and staff SUNY campuses will not tolerate hate or discrimination, and each campus has dedicated resources and counselors for anyone who needs to speak about the topic. “...The divide that was laid bare by this tragedy in our nation doesn’t go away with today’s verdict,” Malatras said.

“It is, though, yet another reminder to address and tackle issues of racial inequity and discrimination with even more determination.

“We will continue to do all we can to eliminate cultural, institutional, and regulatory racial discrimination. That is SUNY’s promise to our students, and in doing so we will be transparent and inclusive. Our students are leaders, and with their voice we move forward.”

The state’s leading Democratic leaders, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, D-Bronx; and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D-Yonkers, both commended the guilty verdict, but called for the jury’s

decision to be the first step to change a system founded on racist structure.

“That Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all counts is important and it is right, but I also know we must continue to challenge the system that enabled his murder in the first place,” Heastie said. “George Floyd’s death was a turning point. Across our state, our country and indeed the world, people took to the streets to say no more to the systemic racism that costs the lives of our friends and neighbors. To say that those with power and authority must be held responsible for their actions. To demand that we rebalance the tilted scales of justice in our country. To say that Black Lives Matter.”

Stewart-Cousins is heartened by the verdict and the step toward accountability, but reminded New Yorkers the victory is not a mark of true justice.

“True justice would mean that George Floyd would have walked away from that encounter alive,” she said. “It would mean that he would be able to watch his daughter grow up. If we had true justice in this country, the kind that lives up to our ideals, countless other Black men and women wouldn’t see the same fate as George Floyd.

While we cannot change the past, we can change what happens next. We can decide that we can no longer tolerate a policing system and a justice system that only serves some and not all. We can commit to real reform, to real justice, and to a better system of policing that truly keeps our communities safe instead of tearing them apart.”

“Grandparents have been incarcerated,” she added. “The fund will find a number of opportunities to really provide assistance to communities who need it most.”

High capital requirements and felony bars on licensure were removed to ensure fair opportunity for entry, said Jennifer Richardson, president of Capital District Black & Hispanic Bar Association.

The state law also creates an Incubator program through the state Urban Development Corporation to offer counseling services, education, and financial planning to future cannabis businessowners.

“You may never have created a business plan in your life — ‘how do I learn to do that?’”

Richardson said. “To have a place to go to figure these things out, to get counseling, even just how to walk yourself through a license process — this is really innovative and will really play a key piece.”

The corporation will grant low- and no-interest loans to help small businesses cover start-up costs.

New York was the 15th state to legalize recreational marijuana, but is the first to implement a program to foster small businesses and industry growth in disproportionately afflicted communities.

Recreational marijuana sales will begin after April 1, 2022.

Dispensaries and retailers are expected to open in the state within the next 18 months.

The Office of Cannabis Management is an independent office within the State Liquor Authority. Cannabis and alcohol cannot be sold and consumed in the same facility.

The history of the Rowena School in Palenville, our Sister Hamlet, Part 3

Rowena School

By Dede Terns Thorpe For Columbia-Greene Media

This is the third in a series.

In researching Palenville, luck brought me to some 1899-1900 Palenville Zephyr newspapers, an actual old-style hometown paper.

I would relate it to other old papers that covered small-town events, small personal historical tidbits; they gave the reader a little history that could be enjoyed again, many years later.

Tidbit: The Palenville Zephyr started in 1898 and appeared to concentrate on local history.

The Zephyr said that the busiest spot in town back in 1899 was the Rowena school site. It said a gang of men worked for James Holdridge for the past two weeks, completing the foundation walls.

The Zephyr said these walls were the heaviest, most substantial, ever laid in the State. Once the lumber was delivered, the contractors started primarily hired residents as employees.

The headquarters for the crew was at the near-by Winchelsea Cottages.

The paper said, “On July 1, 1900, Rowena School was formally adopted by the University of the State of New York and is now under the control of the Board of Regents.”

It went to say, “There were enrolled during the term of thirtyseven weeks, one hundred and seven pupils, as follows: Grade 1, 15, Grade 2, 14; Grade 3, 14; Grade 4, 5; (no Grade 5 listed) Grade 6, 8; Grade 7, 14; Grade 8; 18; Academic Dept—9; total, 107. There was not a break of a single day during the two terms” It continued, “The teaching force was increased to three teachers: Principal, O. F. Payne; intermediate, Miss Carolyn L. Francis; primary, Miss Ada J. Overbaugh, of Catsban.”

The paper said that the people of Palenville knew they could never repay Mr. Lawrence for his goodness to them and how much they appreciated what he did.

The community later appreciated Lawrence’s gift of $600 for necessary books, etc., that the students would need.

In 1900 the Rowena School Board members were Luman A. Lamouree, President; Cornelius DuBois, Secretary; Calvin Goodwin, Philo Peck, and Obadiah Adsit.

Tidbit: The school, District No. 3, held an election where two

additional trustees were elected but were determined illegal by the State authorities so that the board stands the same as before, i.e., five members.

The Lawrence family was popular as they were mentioned often in the Zephyr. One lengthy article told of L. W. Lawrence’s daughter, Miss Rowena, and her maid had a frightening escape from what could have been a terrible accident. Their horse became spooked and ran from one side of the road to the other, over and over. Fred Haines observed what was happening, grabbed the horse by the head, and soon had things under control. “The maid deserves the credit for the nerve she displayed — her only thought was for her charge — and Fred. Haines comes in for a deal of glory for the skill he exhibited.”

Another article congratulated Lawrence on his birthday party.

A New York crowd of friends was mentioned, along with the gifts they brought.

Tidbit from Palenville (1899): The Zephyr said that Palenville never looked prettier than it did then. The homeowner’s grounds were in “apple-pie order.” That the houses were well painted, and a general air of prosperity pervades. A good season was anticipated. “For the “steenth” time we reiterate this is the queen spot of Greene County; only wants a little more push and a shove, with an altogether heave, to land it the Ace, King and Queen spot.”

Wikipedia said the community, happy with the school initially, began to regret it due to the expense of maintaining it. Wikipedia said, “The building remained a source of contention, and some residents called for its demolition so that everyone could be friends again.”

(This quote has not been found in any other source of history).

Palenville is a fantastic community. It shows pride in the appearance of its corridor. It has all the necessities you need in a small community: a post office, small grocery stores, a couple of churches, a gas station, a golf course, two restaurants, and a short ride to medical services. It appears a small community until you ride through its side streets and see the populated community it is.

Palenville is known as “The Village of Falling Water” and “America’s First Art Colony.”

For Columbia-Greene Media

What a Week! Trying to decide if I want to work outside or in. I have a lot of straightening to do as my daughter will be coming in for a visit in May, but I also want to do some work outside. Some days I have the windows wide open to let in the fresh air, only to run close them when the sun disappears. Did you see the snow? It was gone before most were awake, but we did get a covering on Thursday night. I do love Spring, Good news! Many are celebrating birthdays going from young to old. Lori Smith is having problems saying the word “sixty.” Clarence Soule entertained his entire family for his birthday. It was so good to have them all under one roof again. Ellouise Cole was a year older. Vicky Beckman went away for her birthday. Judy will be going out with her sons and daughterin-law for her big day. Nellie Langston will be celebrating her 80th.

As I am winnowing through the papers and items that I, and my mother, have saved over the many, many years, I am sorting papers and pictures from way back. I found many from my days as a Grange member. Pictures of events that were held at the Grange Hall in Jewett. Officially, it has always been the Jewett Presbyterian Church hall, but still known today as the Grange. The Grange was originally a farmer’s organization, but it evolved into a social club. We had organized weekly meetings, but after there was always a social hour. We got together several times a year with neighboring Garage Units for social events. There would be plays, talent shows, sing alongs. A chance to meet others from different areas.

had Juvenile Grange. It seems that no other towns would send their children, but Mildred and Harry Matthews would make sure all of the Jewett kids got together for a couple of hours of fun.

The Grange taught us how to conduct ourselves in a structured situation. We would have to learn public speaking as we each held an office, and there were strict guidelines on procedures. As we grew older, our responsibilities increased. You were elected treasurer, and had to account for the funds on hand. You were secretary and had to learn how to take minutes. The Master ran the meeting.

I mostly remember the fun we had putting on the shows.

There would be mock weddings where my father would be the bride and Minnie Partridge would be the groom.

There would be musical skits, and slide shows of trips people would take.

MAHAIWE AND BERKSHIRE PLAYWRIGHTS LAB PRESENT

‘Some Old Black Man’ GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Berkshire Playwrights Lab (BPL) and the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center will copresent a YouTube screening of James Anthony Tyler’s Some Old Black Man, starring Wendell Pierce and Charlie Robinson, on Saturday, April 24 at 3 p.m.. The performance will be followed by a live conversation on YouTube with the actors, the playwright and director Joe Cacaci. The production is made available through the University Musical Society (UMS), in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Some Old Black Man was first produced by Berkshire Playwrights Lab in 2015 as a staged reading at the Mahaiwe.

In 2017 BPL gave the play a full production at St. James Place, which was subsequently staged at 59E59 Theaters in New York City in 2018. The Guardian acclaimed the UMS-filmed version of the play as “a riveting drama, not only about all that is left unsaid in families, but also the intergenerational experiences of racism in America.” In another summary of the play, The New York Times called Wendell Pierce “one of the greatest actors of his generation.”

In Some Old Black Man,

Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center will co-present a YouTube screening of James Anthony Tyler’s Some Old Black Man, starring Wendell Pierce and Charlie Robinson, on Saturday, April 24 at 3 p.m.

Calvin Jones (Wendell Pierce), a hip, coolly intellectual African American college professor, moves his 82-year-old ailing but doggedly independent father, Donald Jones (Charlie Robinson), from Greenwald, Miss., into his Harlem penthouse.

The play begins with an argument over what to eat for breakfast, then turns into a generational clash over race, opportunity, and a decision that Calvin made years ago. Donald’s grumpiness is peppered with disturbing outbursts, revealing bits of his past, informed by growing up Black and poor in

the South. Donald believes that he isn’t seen by his gifted, accomplished son as being good enough, and Calvin resents Donald for being a self-righteous, relentlessly tough parent.

Father-son strife escalates when their generational conflict is lensed through civil rights.

“This play bridges stage to screen with wonderful performances, wit, and family dilemmas that feel familiar and poignant,” says Mahaiwe Executive Director Janis Martinson. “We are pleased to bring Some Old Black Man back to Mahaiwe audiences in this

APRIL 23

beautifully-realized incarnation.”

“Some Old Black Man manages to be both timely and timeless, speaking with urgency and eloquence to how we live today,” say Berkshire Playwrights Lab Co-Artistic Directors Richard Dresser and Felicia Harden in a joint statement.

University Musical Society’s digital theater production is the first of its kind for this powerful work. The creative team quarantined and rehearsed in Ann Arbor for three weeks in fall 2020, subsequently filming in Detroit under strict coronavirus safety protocols.

The event is free but requires registration at either mahaiwe. org or berkshireplaywrightslab. org. Registrants will receive YouTube links for the play and post-show conversation.

About the Mahaiwe Located in downtown Great Barrington, Mass., the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center is the year-round presenter of worldclass music, dance, theater, classic films, Live in HD broadcasts, and arts education programs for the southern Berkshires and neighboring regions.

FREE GUIDED LANDSCAPE WALKS AT STAATSBURGH STATE HISTORIC SITE STAATSBURG — This May, Staatsburgh State Historic Site will give guided landscape tours on the Gilded Age estate’s beautiful grounds overlooking the Hudson River. The tour, entitled “What You See… and What You Don’t See,” will show how Staatsburgh’s landscape architect designed a glorious setting that showcased the good life in the Gilded Age, while deliberately using landscape elements to hide the technology and labor that made a turn-of-the-century estate run. Using historic photos of the grounds, the tour will reveal what visitors would have seen at the turn of the 20th century, but also step behind the curtain to show what was hidden from them.

“On this guided walk, you’ll be able to imagine what it would be like to be a guest of Ruth Livingston Mills for one of her very exclusive parties at Staatsburgh,” says site educator, Don Fraser: “On a beautiful afternoon, you might stroll along the Hudson, or sail the river on the

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Mills’ yacht, or take a carriage drive. The grounds would present you with stunning vistas and lovely gardens, but tucked out of view, the estate staff would be shoveling coal, laundering piles of cloths and linens, or tending to animals, and all that would be invisible to you.”

The tour will be about one mile of mostly level terrain,

with some uphill walking. The program, including the walk, discussion, and looking at historic photos, will take about 1½ hours.

The tour will be offered on May 1, 7, 9, 14, 16, 21 at 10 a.m.; on May 9 at 10:45 a.m.; and May 31 at 2 p.m.

There is no charge for the tour, but visitors must register

in advance. Attendance will be limited to aid in social distancing. Staatsburgh follows all NYS Department of Health guidelines for safety during the COVID 19 pandemic. Masks and social distancing will be required of all tour participants. To make reservations, visit Staatsburgh.

People planning to enjoy a program or walk the landscape can also order Mother’s Day gifts or other goodies from the online museum shop, which supports preservation of the site, and pick up their gift when at Staatsburgh. The online shop is at https://mills-friends. square.site/ The grounds also offer strolls along the river, picnic locations and hiking on the woodland trails.

Sci-fi adventure ‘Voyagers’ doesn’t quite take off

By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

“Voyagers,” a science-fiction adventure about a group of young adults trained and assigned to colonize a distant planet as the new Earth, essentially steals its plot, without credit, from William Golding’s classic novel “Lord of the Flies,” which was filmed in 1963 and remade 27 years later. The influences don’t stop there. You can see traces of “Alien,” “Sunshine” and “Passenger” if you look hard enough. But you might not want to.

The picture stars the alwaysreliable Colin Farrell and an appealing young cast including Tye Sheridan, Fionn Whitehead and Lily-Rose Depp. The production design is sleek and labyrinthine and the set-up is fairly interesting. But the movie suffers from its dreadful attempts to imitate “Lord of the Flies” savagery, mayhem that fails to make us care about the characters. The whole enterprise feels as cold as the sterile corridors of its vast spaceship.

The script, written by director Neil Burger (“Divergent”), lacks the strong ideas that might help the details snap into place. It’s set in the near-future (when else?) and Earth is facing oblivion. The mission is to send

COURTESY OF LIONSGATE/TNS

Fionn Whitehead stars as ‘Zac,’ in “Voyagers.”

a team of attractive, genetically engineered and racially diverse young geniuses who have never seen the outside world to another planet to start a new society. Here’s the rub: The flight takes 86 years, so it will be the grandchildren of the original crew who will colonize the new world. Farrell plays Richard, the children’s teacher and mentor, who volunteers to go along and serve as the crew’s surrogate father. What could go wrong?

The answer is: Plenty. A few years into the journey, the adult Zac (Whitehead) and Christopher (Sheridan) discover that they’re all being drugged by “The Blue,” a liquid that suppresses their hormones,

makes them “dull and docile,” prevents them from shacking up with their crewmates and is supposed to keep them focused on the mission. They stop taking their medicine and, before you can say Nadsat, Zac turns into a sexual predator who lusts after the studious Sela (Depp) and talks like a junior Malcolm McDowell from “A Clockwork Orange.” Zac also plants the suggestion that there’s an alien aboard the ship, sending the crew into a tizzy.

“Voyagers” works a hustle of ambition amid cliches sci-fi fans have witnessed dozens of times. But its main weakness is that the characters lack personality. Even after the crew

members stop taking the drug, they remain ciphers, dull and docile. Zac and Christopher are one-note figures. Zac is a vivid psychotic with no shadings.

And the only reason anyone in the crew would choose to follow him instead of the rational, clear-thinking Christopher is that it fits the “Lord of the Flies” scheme.

The film’s most original idea — that a colonization crew will die and their offspring’s offspring will inherit a new Earth — is introduced and then discarded. And the contradiction of suppressing the crew’s collective libido at a time when they’re supposed to be procreating is senseless. Now, about that alien.

in local politics for there to be meaningful change, Brantley said.

“This system is rotten to the core,” she said. “It’s going to take a long time.”

Greene County Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger, RNew Baltimore, said both police and the public need to take responsibility for police interactions.

“I think it was a good decision,” he said of the verdict. “It’s all part of a larger conversation.

There was a reason this particular situation got where it was.

There’s a reason it took the direction that it did and we need to get to the bottom of those. It’s not only the training and way the officers handle themselves but the public in general. It’s

Walliser said.

“We opened in 2015 as a bed and breakfast,” she said. “The whole idea from the get-go was to have a cocktail lounge as well. A bed and breakfast is not enough to sustain the life of two people with two different homes. We had lots of red tape from the town and from people in town and by the time we were able to get a liquor license on March 13 of last year, we were not able to open and do anything with it.”

Other businesses, including Circle W in Palenville and an ice cream shop in Central Bridge have faced the same obstacle, Tague said.

“We’ve been working on an amendment to that law,” Tague said. “There are at least three situations in my Assembly district with the same problem.”

But changing existing laws is a an extensive process and will not happen in time for Walliser and Ormrod, Tague said.

“It’s not in the time frame to be able to help these folks stay in business,” he said.

“This is something that needs

not only the police that have to take responsibility and accountability here.”

The interaction that led to Floyd’s death could have had a different outcome if the situation wasn’t escalated, Linger said.

“When a police officer asks you to comply, there’s a reason for it,” he said. “There was no reason that situation got to the point that it did. The public needs to understand that police are there to protect public safety. If they’re asking you to do something, there’s a reason for it. When you take a different approach and go on the offensive, then you have two sides on the offensive and that’s never going to play out well.”

Floyd, as well as the other officers present could have taken different actions that could have led to a different outcome, Linger said.

“Nobody deserves to die,” he said. “This would have been

a different outcome if he had turned around, put his hands up and allowed [Chauvin] to cuff him. I don’t think he dies [in that outcome].”

Three other officers who were at the scene — Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane — are facing charges of aiding and abetting seconddegree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Their trial is scheduled to begin August 23.

“They should have said [something] or seen that there was a problem and put a stop to it right there,” Linger said. “That also may have saved a life.”

Chauvin could have followed the policies of the police department, which Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo testified he didn’t, Linger added.

The Rev. Richard Turpin said the verdict was a step in the right direction.

“I believe it’s a positive step in the right direction for our

communities and families that have been victimized, like the Floyd family,” he said.

The Rev. Suzette Turpin said she felt relieved when the verdict was announced.

“We felt a sense of relief when we heard the verdict — all three counts guilty,” she said. “It’s not that we wish harm upon anyone, but our desire is to have justice and that was done yesterday. My first thought was America did the right thing.

America won yesterday. I thank God for Darnella Frazier, the 17-year-old who hit record on her phone. It was her gripping video that would not allow this country or the world to turn their heads on this one.”

The verdict was a critical moment for the nation, the Rev. Shanell Turpin said.

“Yesterday’s verdict was pivotal for our country but very personal for the Floyd family and very personal for all the families that have lost loved

ones at the hands of the police,” she said.

Rabbi Zoe B. Zak, of Temple Israel, hopes the country can begin to heal.

“It was a long trial and process in which a family will never get their loved one back, but justice was served,” she said. “I pray for peace in this country, which we desperately need. Clearly, a lot of healing is needed in order for there to be working relationships and trust between our officers and our community. And not every community is the same.

I’m very proud of our sheriff’s department and our police department here in Catskill and how hard they work to listen to the people and to serve the people and to build healthy relationships with the community.”

The bar is set higher for police as a whole because of the misconduct of some officers, Zak said.

“The officer who really are

there to serve and who care about the people and who want to build these relationships with the community, they have to work a million times harder because of the actions of other officers who have made people distrust the police,” she said.

Improving relations with the police needs to be a community effort, Zak said.

“It’s going to take all of us, of every color, of every race, to work together to stand up for every member of our community and make sure everyone is treated well and equally and also to have good relations with our officers,” she said. “We so need to heal the rift, the deep rift, the deep fear and the deep mistrust that exists in so many communities throughout our country.”

Chauvin will be sentenced in eight weeks.

to happen tomorrow and it’s beyond my control how quickly something like that gets passed or how quickly it would take effect even if it’s passed.”

Tague wrote a letter to state Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker in May 2020 asking for a waiver for the DeWitt, which was not granted, he said. The assemblyman also participated in multiple conference calls with DOH about the issue.

“These two ladies came here and took a chance on our community and I felt it was my job to fight for them,” Tague said.

Walliser and her business partner Ormrod discovered Greene County when on a skiing trip to Windham Mountain, Walliser said.

“We decided to do a full change and leave our corporate jobs in the city and spend more time up here,” Walliser said.

Tague and Greene County Chamber of Commerce President Jeffrey Friedman visited the property several times to troubleshoot the issue, Tague said.

“I had suggested that we drill another well,” he said.

The well would have needed to be drilled in the parking lot of the neighboring business,

the Yellow Deli, Tague said.

“Those folks, I guess they have a board or multiple people involved with the ownership and they couldn’t get an answer from every person,” Tague said. “It was very disappointing. Those ladies have done a remarkable job with that building. You could hear it in their voices just how passionate they were — this was a dream for both of them.”

Friedman also expressed his disappointment with the outcome.

“I don’t think their particular business model can continue to work without this added income, this added feature for the business,” Friedman said.

“I think they’ve grown very frustrated and decided to sell their business, sell their home and move out of the area completely. They’re very disappointed. They really love the place and have done a great job renovating.”

In addition to the obstacles expanding the business, Walliser said COVID changed her perspective.

“With COVID, we started thinking about what really matters in our lives,” Walliser said. “We both have family in Europe and decided it was time for a change and wanted to be closer to our family. It

wasn’t really going the way we wanted it to be, and the fact there was COVID and a look at life in general — we’re both in our mid- to late 50s — it made sense for us to go. We are selling the DeWitt, we’re going to sell all our houses as well and we can leave Greene County.”

The pair will continue to operate their antique furniture business, French & Scouser, from overseas, and will maintain a warehouse at a still-undetermined location in New York, Walliser said.

Tague disagrees with the law.

“When you look at the law itself, it doesn’t make any sense,” he said. “If you’re already serving bed and breakfast guests breakfast, what’s the different if you have a class or wine or beer in your hand?”

Friedman agreed.

“They [DOH] don’t feel that the septic system placement is acceptable for them to have food service on the property even though they already have food service on the property,” he said. “It’s a shame. They’re a great contributor to the community.”

The owners have the water tested regularly, Friedman added.

“The rules are there for good reason — so a well doesn’t

become contaminated by a septic system,” he said. “They have the water tested regularly, they have a water filtration system. What they have is perfectly legal for people to stay in a bed and breakfast, drink the water and have their breakfast prepared for them.”

The owners had also tried to serve pre-packaged meals, but the Department of Health would not allow that either, Tague said.

“It’s another example of the state having regulations after regulations,” he said. “Here we have a couple move into the community from outside of New York state and try to build a business and we just make it so tough for them, they turn around and now it’s going to be hard to sell the property as well because unless someone takes it up as a private residence, they’re going to have to go through all the red tape to get the business going.”

Friedman said the state was unwilling to work with the business to find a solution.

“It was basically the rules are the rules and we don’t compromise the rules no matter what,” he said. “It’s a shame that we lose a quality business and motivated business owners who were interested in improving, expanding and

growing, and DOH was unwilling to work with them to find a solution so that they could continue to operate. It’s the chamber’s position that DOH needs to stop being an ongoing hindrance to a lot of businesses and start working with them rather than constantly trying to find roadblocks. We certainly want our businesses to operate safely, but there are numerous ways the health department could work better with our businesses.”

The DeWitt is booked through September and is not accepting any more reservations, Walliser said.

Walliser hopes another entrepreneur will buy the business.

“That would be really nice — not just making it a private home,” she said. “I would love it to be another business.

We’re very proud of what we’ve done. We started something and we’d love it to be continued.”

Walliser said parting ways with the business is bittersweet.

“It’s bittersweet to leave when you’ve done a lot of things,” she said. “It’s a great community and I only wish luck to anyone who is going to come and pursue what we started.”

NBA reacts to Derek Chauvin murder conviction Stefan Bondy New York Daily News

The NBA, which had warned teams of possibly postponing games based on the court’s decision, applauded Derek Chauvin’s guilty verdict as “justice served.” It also pledged to continue pushing reform in policing and criminal justice.

“George Floyd’s murder was a flash point for how we look at race

and justice in our country, and we are pleased that justice appears to have been served,” the league’s statement read.

“But we also recognize that there is much work to be done.”

LeBron James’ reaction was brief but forceful. He tweeted in capital letters, “ACCOUNTABILITY.” See NBA B3

Derailed world boxing champ Andy Ruiz Jr. faced hard questions on comeback road Bryce Miller THE SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

SAN DIEGO — This is the beginning of the road back for Andy Ruiz Jr., the boxer who put the heavy in heavyweight on the way to a world championship celebrated from the office of Mexico’s president to the gritty agricultural region surrounding his hometown of Imperial, Calif.

The man labeled a “real-life Rocky” stunned the sport and then-champion Anthony Joshua by capturing four title belts on June 1, 2019, at Madison Square Garden.

Ruiz sparked debates about body shape and convention, winning for the doughy among us to spite the sculpted and chiseled. He was the gargantuan underdog, in more ways than one. He punched his way through doubts and disbelievers, cheered by inspired dreamers. He became a hometown hero.

Then came the cheeseburgers, burritos and Snickers bars, the drinking, the slack training, the fractured focus. The partying. A mansion. Luxury cars. Hangers-on.

In a mandatory rematch against Joshua six months later in Saudi Arabia, the overweight and mismatched champion offered a faint challenge while losing by unanimous decision. In the moment, Ruiz quickly realized he’d lost more than the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts.

“A lot of temptations by eating the stuff you’re not supposed to eat, drinking the stuff you’re not supposed to drink,” Ruiz recently told the San Diego Union-Tribune. “There’s more, I don’t want to get specific, but I was down. I felt like I let my people down. I let down my family and myself.”

Now, he’s preparing for a fight that could be the fight-before-the-fight against veteran Chris Arreola during a Fox Sports pay-per-view event May 1 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson.

Win and a possible fight could materialize against Deontay Wilder, the longtime WBC champ who suffered his first loss as a professional in February 2020 to Tyson Fury. Wilder stands 42-1-1.

AL BELLO/GETTY IMAGES

Andy Ruiz Jr. knocks down Anthony Joshua in the third round during their IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight title fight at Madison Square Garden on June 1, 2019.

Lose and ...

“Man, I’m ready for this change and this new chapter,” Ruiz said. “The main thing I changed was the discipline. I didn’t have no discipline, especially my last fight. I feel like this is a new start for me, like this is my first fight.”

It’s hard to blame Ruiz for falling into a trap that has claimed countless athletes who lost their way after finding the top of the mountain. Chasing the dream, the money, the nationalistic pride had served as an invaluable carrot.

Once Ruiz had a bite -- or far too many bites, most times -- the underpinnings of a champion

crumbled.

Ruiz rocketed past 310 pounds.

“My weakness was a lot of sweets,” he said.

“That’s something I had to cut off. Now I eat a lot of fish and good stuff. Now, I’m 255. I want to be get down to 235, but that’s not going to happen in one camp. I have to keep working.

“The main thing is turning that fat into muscle and tightening up.”

Reviving his boxing life required focusing on the mental side of things as much as the muscle.

He trained not just for the upcoming fight, but committed to the hot and heavy work to assemble

the building blocks necessary to contend again.

He started working on the area between his ears.

“My life ever since the Saudi Arabia fight has been a roller coaster, ups and downs,” Ruiz said.

“I was a little depressed. One time, I got to my knees, tired of how I was living and prayed to God to give me a chance to make me a better person, a better father, a better everything.

“What do you know? The next day, I woke up super motivated. I was ready.”

Ready to leave behind the Rolls Royce. Ready to leave behind the stately outdoor pool. Ready to distance himself from so-called friends and distractions.

This had to be all-in, or nothing at all. There’s no in between when the world’s best heavyweights start throwing sledgehammer punches.

Ruiz moved on from trainer Manny Robles and reached out to Mexican super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, the man ranked the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world who trains at House of Boxing in San Diego.

Quickly, Ruiz found himself meeting with Alvarez and trainer Eddy Reynoso.

“When we sat down, Eddy said, ‘We have a lot of respect for you, but if you come over here you have to give it 100 percent,’ “ Ruiz said.

In Alvarez, Ruiz found a new and powerful carrot. Ruiz elevated workouts and dietary habits to prove his unbending commitment. Boxing’s preeminent star shared tips. They dissected strategy.

They fed off each other.

In boxing parlance, Ruiz has “heavy hands.”

Add mobility and agility while increasing stamina would make him more dangerous than the day he stunned the world by winning the heavyweight title.

“I was down,” Ruiz said. “I got back up. I’m still young, 31 years old. That’s really young in the heavyweight division. I still have more to prove, you know?”

Proving is the thing. Especially for Ruiz. Especially now.

NBA roundup: Knicks roll on with seventh straight win Field Level Media

RJ Barrett scored 18 of his 24 points as part of a huge third quarter for the New York Knicks as they topped the visiting Charlotte Hornets 109-97 on Tuesday night for their seventh straight win.

The Knicks (32-27) shot 48.2 percent from the field, getting a boost from reserves Derrick Rose and Immanuel Quickley, who each racked up 17 points.

Julius Randle and Reggie Bullock chipped in with 16 points apiece. Randle also had 10 rebounds and seven assists, though his streak of games with 30 or more points ended at four.

Charlotte (28-29) was led by P.J. Washington, who came off the bench for 26. The Hornets have lost five of their last six games. They led 66-60 at halftime, but were outscored 31-16 in the third quarter.

Nets 134, Pelicans 129 Kyrie Irving scored 32 points and Joe Harris had 24 to lead seven Brooklyn players in double figures as the short-handed Nets held off host New Orleans.

Landry Shamet added 18, Blake Griffin scored 16, Jeff Green had 15, and Bruce Brown had 11 points and 11 rebounds. The Nets (39-19) played without James Harden, Kevin Durant, Nicolas Claxton and Reggie Perry.

Zion Williamson scored 33 points, Brandon Ingram had 27, Lonzo Ball and Naji Marshall added 15 each, and Kira Lewis Jr. had 11 to lead the Pelicans (25-33), who lost their fourth straight game.

Hawks 112, Magic 96 Trae Young, wearing googles for the first time due to an injury, scored 25 points and Lou Williams came off the bench to score 22 as host Atlanta downed Orlando.

The Hawks (32-26) have won two straight and nine of their last 11 games. Atlanta improved to six games over .500 for the first time since March 11, 2017. Orlando (18-40) has lost three in a row and nine of its past 10.

Young was wearing the glasses to protect his right eyelid, which was scratched in a Sunday game against the Indiana Pacers. Young never seemed comfortable – and removed the goggles a couple of times during the game – but still shot 7-for-16 from the field while compiling seven assists, five rebounds and five turnovers.

Clippers 113, Trail Blazers 112 Paul George made two free throws with 4.8 seconds left to cap a 33-point effort and propel Los Angeles to a victory over host Portland.

George scored the final six points of the game as the Clippers (41-19) won for the 15th time in the past 18 games. Marcus Morris Sr. added 16 points as Los Angeles defeated the Trail Blazers for the sixth consecutive time.

CJ McCollum scored 28 points for Portland (3225) but missed a jumper just before time expired.

The loss was the seventh in 10 games for the Trail Blazers.

Timberwolves 134, Kings 120 D’Angelo Russell scored 26 of his 28 points in the first half and rookie Anthony Edwards also had 28 as Minnesota earned a victory over Sacramento for its first road win in just over a month.

Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 26 points and 18 rebounds as Minnesota won for the third time in its past six games. The Timberwolves improved to 16-43 and no longer have the worst record in the NBA. Harrison Barnes and Maurice Harkless each scored 20 points while Chimezie Metu had 16 as Sacramento (23-35) lost for the 10th time in the past 11 games.

MLB roundup: Arrieta pitches Cubs past Mets Field Level Media

Jake Arrieta pitched five strong innings and Eric Sogard had two hits and an RBI in an emergency start to lift host Chicago past New York, 3-1, on Tuesday.

Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel walked two of the first three hitters to open the Mets ninth before allowing a single to load the bases, but he recovered to escape unscathed and notch his fourth save.

Arrieta (3-1) spaced one run on three hits in five innings while walking three and striking out four.

New York outhit Chicago 6-4, with Dominic Smith and J.D. Davis collecting two hits apiece.

A’s 7, Twins 0 (Game 1) Mitch Moreland belted two home runs, Matt Olson crushed a grand slam, and Sean Manaea continued Oakland’s run of brilliant pitching as the Oakland A’s thumped the visiting Minnesota Twins 7-0 in the opener of a doubleheader Tuesday.

Manaea (2-1) coasted through seven shutout innings while allowing just six hits and one walk.

He struck out seven.

Manaea’s only previous complete game came almost exactly three years earlier – April 21, 2018 – when he threw a no-hitter against the Boston Red Sox. A’s 1, Twins 0 (Game 2) Jesus Luzardo teamed with two relievers to throw a two-hitter as Oakland completed a sweep of visiting Minnesota with its second shutout of the day. The A’s claimed their 10th consecutive win.

The two shutouts gave the A’s four shutouts in their past five games. Luzardo (1-1) tossed 5 1/3 innings of two-hit ball, allowing one walk and striking out six. Lou Trivino struck out both batters he faced, and Jake Diekman fanned two in the ninth for his first save.

The game’s only run came in the fourth inning, when Matt Olson hit a leadoff double and scored on Seth Brown’s one-out single.

Dodgers 1, Mariners 0 Julio Urias allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings with a career-high 11 strikeouts as Los Angeles earned a split of a two-game series between division leaders in Seattle.

Corey Seager drove in the game’s lone run with a third-inning single as the Dodgers snapped a two-game losing streak. The only hit Urias (3-0) allowed was an infield single by Mitch Haniger with two outs in the third inning.

Victor Gonzalez pitched the eighth inning for the Dodgers, and Kenley Jansen worked the ninth for his fourth save.

Brewers 6, Padres 0 Corbin Burnes pitched six scoreless innings and Billy McKinney hit a solo homer and saved two runs with a diving catch in left field as Milwaukee won at San Diego.

Burnes (2-1) gave up four hits and no walks, although he hit a batter. He struck out 10 Padres

and now has 40 strikeouts on the season without issuing a walk. The four hits matched the total he had allowed in his first four starts.

Travis Shaw had a two-run double in the Padres’ five-run third inning, and Omar Narvaez capped the rally with a two-run single. Jace Peterson homered in the ninth.

Rays 14, Royals 7 The top three hitters in the Tampa Bay lineup combined for nine hits and five runs as the Rays roughed up host Kansas City for their fifth straight win.

With the Rays winning the first two games of this three-game series, the Royals will suffer their first series loss of the season. Tampa Bay will look to end its road trip a perfect 6-0 on Wednesday.

The Rays had a pair of four-run innings and a three-run rally. Austin Meadows, Randy Arozarena and Joey Wendle had three hits apiece, and Meadows, Brandon Lowe and Mike Zunino homered for Tampa Bay. Red Sox 4, Blue Jays 2 Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run homer, Eduardo Rodriguez picked up his third win of the season and Boston defeated visiting Toronto.

Bogaerts also had a double in the opener of a two-game set. Bobby Dalbec added an RBI triple to cap a four-run fourth inning and Christian Arroyo had three hits for Boston.

Rodriguez (3-0) allowed two runs, three hits and one walk in six-plus innings. He struck out six. Matt Barnes pitched the ninth inning to earn his third save of the season. Bo Bichette and

Randal Grichuk each hit solo home runs and a single, accounting for all four of the Blue Jays’ hits.

White Sox 8, Indians 5 Jose Abreu belted a pair of solo homers to highlight his three-hit, three-RBI performance and lift visiting Chicago past Cleveland.

Yasmani Grandal launched a two-run homer and Tim Anderson also went deep for the White Sox, who benefited from a four-run sixth inning to post their third win in their last four games.

Carlos Rodon (3-0) was making his first start since tossing a no-hitter in an 8-0 win over Cleveland last Wednesday. The reigning American League Player of the Week allowed two runs on three hits while striking out eight in five innings.

Five walks drove up his pitch count.

Orioles 7, Marlins 5 Matt Harvey earned his first win in almost two years, leading Baltimore past host Miami.

Harvey (1-1) allowed eight hits and three runs in five innings, winning for the first time since July 13, 2019, when he was pitching for the Los Angeles Angels. He struck out four without issuing a walk. After a brilliant start to his career with the New York Mets, Harvey is now 20-35 since 2016.

Cesar Valdez got four outs – including three by strikeout – for his fourth save of the season. He fanned pitcher Pablo Lopez for the final out of the game as Miami was out of position players to use as a pinch hitter.

Giants 10, Phillies 7 Wilmer Flores and Alex Dickerson hit threerun homers in the eighth inning to rally visiting

San Francisco past Philadelphia.

Buster Posey added a pair of solo home runs and a single and Tommy La Stella belted a tworun homer for the Giants, who have won three in a row. Brandon Crawford and Mike Yastrzemski contributed two hits apiece for San Francisco, which trailed 4-0 after three innings.

Brad Miller hit a three-run homer and Alec Bohm added a two-run shot for the Phillies. Rhys Hoskins hit a solo homer with two outs in the ninth.

Nationals 3, Cardinals 2 Yan Gomes drew a bases-loaded walk in the eighth inning to bring home the go-ahead run as Washington rallied past visiting St. Louis.

Trailing 2-1, the Nationals scored two runs on one hit in the eighth. Andrew Stevenson led off with a walk against Giovanny Gallegos (2-1), who then hit Josh Harrison with a pitch. Trea Turner singled to right on an 0-2 pitch, scoring Stevenson to tie it and sending Harrison to third.

After Turner stole second, Josh Bell grounded out and Kyle Schwarber was intentionally walked. Gallegos struck out Starlin Castro, but then he walked Gomes on four pitches, forcing in the go-ahead run.

D-backs 5, Reds 4 (suspended) Arizona pulled ahead of host Cincinnati in a game that was suspended in the top of the eighth inning due to inclement weather.

The teams will pick up where they left off prior to Wednesday’s regularly scheduled nine-inning game. Arizona will be at the plate in the top of the eighth with the bases loaded and one out.

The Diamondbacks tied the game at 4 in the eighth inning on Andrew Young’s 414-foot shot to center off Tejay Antone, and they moved ahead when Lucas Sims walked in a run with the rain pouring.

Rockies 6, Astros 2 C.J. Cron homered, doubled and drove in five runs, Dom Nunez also went deep, and Colorado beat Houston in Denver.

Jon Gray (2-1) allowed one run on three hits, struck out six and walked four in 6 2/3 innings to help the Rockies earn their second win in 10 games.

Michael Brantley collected three hits, Carlos Correa had an RBI double and also scored and Aledmys Diaz had a run-scoring double for Houston. The Astros have lost eight of their past nine.

Angels 6, Rangers 2 Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Kurt Suzuki homered to lift Los Angeles to a victory over Texas in Anaheim, Calif.

Trout also doubled and singled to lead an Angels offense that had eight hits in all. Los Angeles starter Shohei Ohtani threw four scoreless innings of one-hit ball, walking six and fanning seven.

Nick Solak homered for the Rangers, who were limited to five hits.

Yankees snap five-game losing streak, beat Braves Kristie Ackert New York Daily News

NEW YORK — It didn’t happen with a boom, a blast or the manager talking tough. It wasn’t an inspirational speech from a retiring teammate or their GM giving them a vote of confidence.

It wasn’t even a little poke that stopped the stench coming from Yankee Stadium. It was a walk. The Yankees’ finally broke through the

indefinitely.

“James, he’ll be back when he’s back. That may not be until the playoffs. It may be sooner. I don’t know,” Nets coach Steve Nash said. “We have no control over that other than working as hard as we can to support him and getting back to full health to play again.

We’re prepared for whenever that may be.”

The injury aggravation comes just days after Nets general manager Sean Marks said Harden had been progressing well, had met his marks, and that the MVP candidate was set to advance to four-on-four and five-on-five in practice.

Had things gone smoothly

NBA From B1

Pelicans coach Stan Van Gundy appreciated the accountability but couldn’t rejoice given the circumstances.

“Justice was done, but it’s hard to celebrate,” Van Gundy said. “It’s hard to celebrate because it doesn’t bring back George Floyd. We had somebody needlessly killed right in front of us. It was right in front of all of us because we could

funk with a base on balls from a struggling outfielder. Aaron Hicks, who had been benched from the starting lineup earlier in the afternoon, drew a pinch-hit walk and scored the winning run as the Yankees snapped a five-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over the Braves in front of 10,107 at the Stadium.

The Yankees (6-10) will take the win and the runs any way they can get them these days. The win was

their first in over a week, since beating the Blue Jays in Dunedin on April 12. It came after they dropped three straight series to American League East opponents. The Braves are the first team the Yankees have seen outside the division.

The Yankees will look to win just their second series of the season on Wednesday night in their last game of the homestand.

It was not a dramatic turnaround.

Hicks made a surprise appearance as a pinch hitter in the eighth.

The struggling center fielder drew the leadoff walk that started the Yankees rally. DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Judge followed with singles and manager Aaron Boone sent up Clint Frazier as a pinch hitter for Brett Gardner.

Hicks scored the go-ahead run standing up on a wild pitch as Travis d’Arnaud could not block a

slider to Frazier by reliever Nate Jones, who then walked Mike Ford with the bases loaded for the Bombers’ insurance run.

A day after GM Brian Cashman made a point to get in front of reporters and say he has confidence in Aaron Boone, his staff and the players, the manager sat Hicks — as well as Frazier and Rougned Odor — for the series opener against the Braves.

from then, Harden would have been set to rejoin the team in a game. Marks suggested Harden was only days away from a return.

For an injury bug-bitten Nets team, it’s back to square one. They only had nine healthy players available for Tuesday’s matchup against Zion Williamson’s Pelicans in New Orleans.

Nash said he was present at the workout when the setback occurred. Harden didn’t fall or stumble or do anything out of the ordinary.

“He just felt, you know, something maybe in the ballpark of a strain,” Nash said.

“Then the scan revealed that he did suffer a setback. So not much more to it other than just disappointment and that we have to rebuild and get him going again.”

Harden initially strained

his hamstring on March 31 when the Nets hosted his former Houston Rockets team in Brooklyn. He sat out two games then returned on April 5, where he played just 4:22 against the Knicks before aggravating the injury.

Tuesday’s matchup against the Pelicans marks the seventh consecutive game Harden has missed since re-injuring his hamstring. The Nets entered the game 4-6 when Harden does not play and are 28-11 when he’s on the floor. Harden is averaging 25 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds per game since landing in Brooklyn via trade this season.

“We’ll rehabilitate him and get him back whenever we can and who knows when that will be, and we’ll support James, and we’ll support our performance team in getting him back in his best condition as

possible,” Nash continued.

“And hopefully that comes sooner than later but there’s no guarantee. We just keep chipping away, we keep moving forward and we hope for a speedy recovery.”

In more promising news, the Nets are bullish on the idea of Kevin Durant returning from his thigh contusion sooner than later.

Durant bumped legs with Miami’s Trevor Ariza just four minutes into Brooklyn’s 109107 loss to the Heat on Sunday.

After scoring the Nets’ first eight points, Durant missed both free throws after the foul then left the game with a left thigh contusion.

Nash said Durant’s situation is more positive than Harden’s but did not have much of an update to provide.

“I think he’s had a scan and it’s more of a day-to-day

thing,” he said. “We’ll see if it’s in the next few days or more, but that scan was not alarming or negative in that respect, so we’re hopeful he can be back soon.”

Budding Nets big men Nicolas Claxton and Reggie Perry are out due to the NBA’s coronavirus health and safety protocol. There isn’t much information available since this is a private health matter, but Durant missed two separate sets of three games for coming in close proximity with someone who later tested positive for COVID-19.

“Not sure how long that’s gonna last or what that entails, the testing, or to test out of that, or what it is right now,” Nash said. “I think it’s still pretty early to understand exactly what we’re dealing with but for tonight, they’re both in the protocol and unavailable.”

see it on video. No verdict is going to change that.”

Nets coach Steve Nash echoed Van Gundy’s sentiment, calling the verdict “bittersweet.”

“Obviously, George Floyd lost his life as many others have unjustly and we can’t forget that, that people are losing their lives,” Nash said. “On the other hand, it is a small gesture of justice and possibly hope for the future in that perhaps all the social justice movements, the NBA, the WNBA with the community at large

are really making an impact.

“Whether it’s small and creating a tipping point or whether it’s large it gives hope that the voices of many are making change and we have a better future for our kids. In one respect, it’s relieving because you don’t have a lot of confidence historically that the verdict will come down and that justice will be served. So I just hope that this is the type of statement by our justice system that gives hope and precedence for these type of verdicts to be the norm.”

The Knicks issued a broad statement about “fostering a society free of racism, bigotry and hate.” Coach Tom Thibodeau, however, specifically referenced the Chauvin verdict.

“Obviously, we’re pleased. Justice was served,” Thibodeau said. “Your heart goes out to the Floyd family because there’s nothing that you can do to bring him back.

In society, there’s no place for racism or bigotry and we have to do better. As a country, we have to do better.”

Head coach Tom Thibodeau of the New York Knicks directs his team during the second half against the Charlotte Hornets at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.

It’s crunch time in Brooklyn. There are only 14 more games on the schedule until the playoffs, but the Nets’ Big 3 has yet to play seven full games as a trio. They might not have that luxury given Harden’s injury status, but the Nets will have to limp across the finish line and bide time for their stars to get as healthy as possible between now and their first-round series.

“The No. 1 priority in some respects has to be survival.

We have to not overburden the rest of the roster,” Nash said. “So we’ve got to be careful, but, at the same time, we don’t have a lot of options.

And so how do we navigate that? I think it’s going to be very tricky.”

After the greatest comeback in sports history, Alex Smith’s next stop should be the Hall of Fame John Feinstein The Washington Post

Five years from now, when Alex Smith is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he should go in on the first ballot. In fact, he should be voted in by acclamation.

Of course, that won’t happen. The super-serious group of media members who vote for the Hall - trust me, I know a lot of them - will cluck and shake their heads and say but . . .

I know all the buts. His numbers as an NFL quarterback during a 14-year-career (he sat out 2008 and 2019 with injuries) are good, perhaps even very good. But Hall-of-Fame worthy? Oh no, not that. He never won a Super Bowl, although he was the starting quarterback for most of the 2012 season, after which the San Francisco 49ers reached the Super Bowl. He was injured, lost his job to Colin Kaepernick and watched from the sidelines as the 49ers lost,

34-31, to the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII. He then spent five seasons in Kansas City, reaching the postseason four times. He knew in 2017 that he was playing his last season in Kansas City. The Chiefs had drafted Patrick Mahomes with the 10th pick that April, and he wasn’t going to sit on the bench for a second season.

When Mahomes became the Chiefs’ starter the following year, he talked often about how supportive Smith had been and how much he had learned from him. Alex and his wife Elizabeth Smith had Mahomes and his then-girlfriend Brittany Matthews over to dinner every Tuesday night that season. That’s how Smith treated the guy he knew was going to take his job.

He was traded to Washington in early 2018. Washington got off to a 6-3 start in Smith’s first season, before his life changed on the November

afternoon when he suffered a devastating leg injury that almost cost him his limb.

No one - no one - expected him to play in the NFL again after he went through 17 surgeries and dealt with infections that could have killed him.

Walking again, being able to play with his three children again, would have been a major victory, an amazing comeback. He did that, but then he did more. He came back to play in the NFL in 2020. To play. Washington went 5-1 with him starting last season although the “but . . .” guys will tell you he wasn’t all that great in those games, just good enough to win. Uh-huh, fine. Including the playoffs, the team was 2-9 in games in which Smith didn’t start.

This is where I make my disclaimer. During the 2017 season, when I was writing a book about playing quarterback in the NFL, Smith was one of the five men I worked closely

with throughout the season. He was honest, patient and always available to talk at length - win or lose, even after the Chiefs’ season-ending playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans, a game Kansas City led 21-3 at halftime.

So I admit to being biased where Smith is concerned. But I don’t think you have to be biased to understand that, if you look at the totality of what he accomplished, he should have a bust in Canton some day.

Unlike baseball, the Pro Football Hall of Fame does not have a character clause. That’s to make sure that truly great players and coaches who are less than exemplary humans will still get into the Hall. There’s a lengthy list of players, coaches and owners who fit that description.

George Preston Marshall, the racist longtime owner of Washington’s football team, is still in the Hall of Fame. So is O.J. Simpson.

But even without a specific

character clause, voters can take into consideration a person’s character when voting - especially a good person’s character. Smith was always that, but his comeback put him in a different category: He is an inspiration to anyone who suffers a debilitating setback of any kind.

Courage is a word that is vastly overused in sports. It doesn’t take courage to go for a green over water in two, or to take a charge in the lane. But to walk onto an NFL field after what Smith had gone through takes real courage. On his first drive last October, Smith got hammered by Aaron Donald, the Los Angeles Rams’ 280-pound all-pro defensive tackle.

While everyone watching gasped in horror, Smith got up and took the next snap. And the one after that.

At that moment, even before he started six games, Smith had - in my mind - completed the greatest comeback in sports history.

Stress of pandemic changes sister’s personality Dear Abby, My sister and I are best friends. She has always been caring, empathetic and passionate about helping others. Now, however, COVID has turned her into a real piece of work.

Since the pandemic began, she has become increasingly DEAR ABBY selfish. She interrupts other people’s conversations to talk about herself and complains nonstop about how COVID has ruined her life, as if the rest of us weren’t experiencing this too.

She shouts hysterically at me when the Wi-Fi stops working and refuses to volunteer for the most basic household tasks. At first I tried to be patient because I understand it’s a reaction to an incredibly stressful time in her life. However, after 10 monster months of this, I’m at my wits’ end.

We live together, go to college together and share the same friends. How can I tolerate her self-centeredness until the pandemic is finally over? And what if this new version of her never goes away?

Irked In Idaho

JEANNE PHILLIPS

I wonder if the friends you share with your sister are having the same reaction as you are to being interrupted and having their conversations hijacked. If the answer is yes, a group intervention may jolt her back to reality and help her recognize how obnoxious it is.

As to the rest of your complaints about her behavior, the next time she comes screaming to you about the Wi-Fi failing, tell her you’ll be glad to help IF she agrees to pull her share of the workload around the apartment. It goes without saying that when you can make other living arrangements — perhaps in the fall — you find a roommate more compatible than your sister. If you do, your relationship with

Pickles

her may improve because you will be exposed to her less often.

Dear Abby, My husband and I have two children. We have been married for 14 years, the last six of which have been sexless and loveless. We tried counseling, and I have threatened divorce, but nothing has changed.

After I finally realized that I couldn’t change him, I changed myself. I started stepping out and having sexual relations with other men. He recently found out about my affairs but hasn’t said a word about it to me. I’m to the point that I wish he would confront me and divorce me, but he acts like nothing is wrong in our marriage! I’m confused. What do you recommend I do next?

Looking Ahead In Kansas It’s time to decide what YOU want to happen. Do you want a divorce? Is the status quo acceptable to you? If it’s the latter, do nothing different than you have been doing. However, if it isn’t, talk to your husband about what you are thinking.

You need to figure out why the change in your marriage happened and if it can be fixed.

He may have become impotent or have someone he is seeing on the side. If it’s possible to repair your marriage, counseling would be an option. However, if it’s not, it might be healthier for both of you to talk to a lawyer and arrange an amicable divorce.

Horoscope

Zits

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are something of a mystery to others, for you never come across the same way twice — and the question even your closest friends may have is simple: Is this by design, or something that happens naturally that lies outside your control? The answer, of course, is both: You are who you are, and there is no changing that, but you can surely learn to work with what you’ve been given in order to accentuate this, minimize or disguise that, and then turn right around and do the opposite.

Even when you are young, you’re almost certain to attract attention for being precocious — and often quite ill-behaved, in fact! This penchant for controversial behavior may never truly disappear, and even as you grow into maturity, you will enjoy being “bad” and getting a rise out of people. And that is almost always by design!

Also born on this date are: Jack Nicholson, actor; Marshawn Lynch, football player; Amber Heard, actress; Peter Frampton, singer and musician; Glen Campbell, singer and songwriter; Jeffrey Dean Morgan, actor; Cassidy Freeman, actress.

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

FRIDAY, APRIL 23 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — What you’re looking for isn’t really hidden from view, just disguised a bit — but it’s enough to demand from you more time in the search.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Now is not the time to go butting into someone’s business — even though you are confident your involvement would help considerably.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You’re on the

trail of something that can really spice up your life — but you must be sure that’s what you want!

Continue at your own risk.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’re not about to make sense of something to others that simply makes no sense at all — but that’s part of the fun, isn’t it? Dangers are few.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’ll get the chance to explain yourself today, and you must do so in the most direct manner possible. This opportunity expires soon!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Any sort of vacillation today can throw a wrench into the works of something you’ve been working on for quite some time. You must be certain!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — The more flair you put into your opening gambit, the better, for that kind of thing is sure to be rewarded — especially coming from you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You’ll receive no guarantees today, but that’s no reason not to continue along your current course.

You’re learning a lot, surely!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You’ll be in a position to offer someone something that will be long remembered — but is that what you want?

Your satisfaction counts, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You’re collecting all manner of facts, but that may not be getting you anywhere closer to the truth — and that’s what you’re really after.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You’re sure to receive some positive reinforcement today, and this will encourage you to give your audience more of the same — if you can.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may be reluctant to tell someone the truth today, even though he or she is clearly asking for it. What is it you hope to gain?

The bidding:

NORTH EAST SOUTH 2♣ Pass 2NT* 6NT All pass *8-10 balanced

or a successful guess for the queen of diamonds.

He started by playing low from dummy on the opening heart lead. There was a small chance that West had led low from both missing heart honors, but the main reason for ducking was to safely test for 3-3 hearts. East returned a heart to dummy’s ace and South continued with dummy’s king of hearts, learning that East started with four hearts.

Declarer was in no rush to play on diamonds and he set out to see what he could learn about the hand. He next cashed four rounds of clubs, discarding a spade from his hand. East followed to two clubs and then discarded two low diamonds. Three top spades came next and East discarded another diamond on the third spade.

East was now known to have started with 2-4-5-2 distribution and had discarded three diamonds.

It no longer mattered who held the queen of diamonds because the remaining diamonds were known to be splitting 2-2.

South simply cashed the ace and king of diamonds, dropping the queen from West, and scored up his slam with the jack of diamonds.

Nicely played!
