Animal abuse registry looms in Greene County’s future

By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL — Greene County is considering creating an animal abuse registry aimed at reducing the number of crimes against animals.

Jamie Mitchell, founder of Hyer Ground Rescue in Catskill, presented a proposal for a registry at Wednesday’s meeting of the Public Safety Committee of the Greene County Legislature.

The registry would identify county residents who have been convicted of crimes against animals.

“As leaders, as parents, as adults, we have an obligation to set the standard in our community to our youth to protect the innocent, whether it is animals, elders, children or the infirm,” Mitchell told the committee.

“That is our obligation.”

There are animal abuse registries in 19 counties in New York state: Albany, Bronx, Broome, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Kings, Nassau, New York City, Niagara, Onondaga, Orange, Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester.

Most animal abuse registries include the name, address, photo and conviction date of the individual.

“It would be a registry of those who have been convicted of some type of violence against animals and it would be available to the public so if someone who was convicted wanted to adopt or buy an animal, the group can check the registry,” Greene County Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger, RNew Baltimore, said.

The goal is to assist in reducing the number of animal cruelty cases, he said.

“Maybe it will prevent a future abuse case,” Linger said Thursday.

The registry would also include information and See ANIMAL A2

BETHLEHEM — A Greene County man died on Wednesday afternoon from injuries he received in a two-car, head-on crash at River Road and Route 144 in Albany County, Town of Bethlehem Police Chief Gina F. Cocchiara said.

Gerard W. Carter, 60, of Hannacroix, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Albany County Coroner’s Office, Cocchiara said.

At about 4:33 p.m., a 2013 Kia was being driven south on River

Road when it collided head-on with a 2020 Chevrolet pickup truck that was being driven north, in the area of 822 River Road, Cocchiara said.

The driver of the pickup truck, Brandon C. Littlejohn, 26, of Troy, was taken to Albany Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries, Cocchiara said.

Both vehicles came to rest in the middle of River Road.

Police did not disclose which vehicle crossed over the center line. The cause of the accident remains under investigation, Cocchiara said.

COVID rates fall to zero — for one day

By Melanie Lekocevic Columbia-Greene Media

The county saw no COVID-19 positive cases Wednesday, but two new cases were added to the county’s tally Thursday. Health officials hope vaccinations will keep the trend of infection rates low.

CATSKILL — There were no new positive COVID-19 cases reported in Greene County on Wednesday, according to Greene County Public Health.

Two cases were reported Thursday as of noon and three residents remain hospitalized, Deputy Director of Public Health Laura Churchill confirmed Thursday.

The lower case numbers are similar to infection rates in the county this time last year, she said.

“Last summer we did see a decrease in cases, but we are hopeful that with more

residents vaccinated, this trend will continue onward,” Churchill said.

Greene County Legislature Chairman Patrick Linger, RNew Baltimore, said seeing a day with no new virus cases was good news.

“We had some days last summer when we didn’t have any positives, but it’s a good trend to see,” Linger said. “We are certainly pleased to see that — it was the goal all along with the vaccines and the shutdowns and the quarantines.”

As of Thursday, 20,314 Greene County residents completed the vaccine series and 23,687 have had at least one

vaccine dose, of a total population of 47,491, according to the New York state COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker.

The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are two-dose regimens and the Johnson & Johnson inoculation requires one shot.

The county is just shy of reaching the halfway mark in terms of vaccination rates with 49.9% of people completing the vaccination series; 57.6% of those ages 18 and over have received at least one dose.

Churchill urged residents who have not been vaccinated to use caution.

“If people are not vaccinated See COVID A2

COXSACKIE — A two-day memorial bicycle race is about to hit the road.

The Trooper David Brinkerhoff Memorial Race Series will be held over two Saturdays, June 5 and June 12.

The race, formerly known as the Johnny Cake Lane Spring Series, was renamed in honor of Brinkerhoff shortly after his death.

Brinkerhoff, a Coxsackie resident and state trooper, died in the line of duty at age 29 as a result of a gunshot wound April 25, 2007.

“We have been holding the race for about 20 years when it was the Johnny Cake Lane Series,” race co-organizer Tom Gordon from the Capital Bicycle Racing Club said.

“We renamed it in Trooper Brinkerhoff’s honor after he died.”

The race was canceled last year due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Normally held in early spring, this year’s competition is taking place later than usual.

“We delayed it this year because of COVID because we didn’t think people would be ready for it in April of this year, which is when we usually have it,” Gordon said.

The race’s return is a welcome change, event co-organizer Bob Hooper of the Capital Bicycle Racing Club said.

“It feels great — I feel like there is a lot of pent-up demand from people in the racing community who want to come out and get back to life in a more normal way,” Hooper said.

Cyclists will take off from CoxsackieAthens High School at 11 a.m. in four separate groups of competitors, depending on experience and ability level. The route will travel south on Johnny Cake Lane and Adams Road in Coxsackie to Route 385, where it will head south toward Union Street in the village of Athens. Racers will then travel west on Union Street to Farm-to-Market Road, returning north to the beginning of

the route.

Racers in four fields will complete between three and five laps of the course, according to a statement from the Capital Bicycle Racing Club.

Roads will not be closed during the race but traffic may be delayed briefly as competitors pass through, organizers said.

As of Tuesday, 420 competitors had signed up over the two weeks of the race, Gordon said.

“It’s wonderful having it back this year,” he said. “People have been saying they want to race. We have had an incredible response.”

There will be a field open only to female athletes for the first time in the race series’ history. As of Tuesday, 28 women had signed up, Gordon said.

“This is the first year we have a women’s field,” Gordon said. “Women have sometimes been reluctant to race in these races and felt they would like to compete against each other, so we are trying it out. There are a lot of women out there who are riding and riding very well. We are hoping this brings more women into racing.”

The race will donate $6,000 to the annual David Brinkerhoff Scholarship Fund at Coxsackie-Athens High School. Donations will also be made to other local groups including the Town of Coxsackie Ambulance.

The amount is undetermined at this time, Gordon said.

The race will begin at 11 a.m. on both June 5 and June 12. One-day racing licenses will be available on the day of the race.

resources for pet owners who may need help with feeding and caring for their animals.

“If you feel you are having a problem or you know someone who is, there would be contact information on the registry so people could seek help,” Linger said. “In the worst case, if someone is convicted you can help stop it from happening again.”

Holding people accountable for animal cruelty could have more far-reaching effects on public safety as a whole, Mitchell said. There have been links between cruelty to animals, particularly among children, and future crimes against people, she said.

“Cruelty against animals and violence towards people have something in common — both types of victims are living, sentient being that feel pain and distress and can die from their injuries,” Mitchell said, citing reports from the Animal Legal and Historical Center.

Studies have shown links between animal abuse and other crimes, including murders by convicted serial killers Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer and “Son of

Sam” killer David Berkowitz, according to the FBI website.

“People who abuse animals as children are more likely to commit murder or violent crimes as adults,” Mitchell said.

“It’s not just a sign of a personality flaw, but a deep mental disturbance that needs intervention before it gets to the point where someone in our community gets hurt.”

There is also a link between animal abuse and domestic violence and child abuse, according to the FBI.

By posting a registry of convicted animal abusers, the county could potentially prevent those individuals from adopting or purchasing animals in the future, Mitchell said.

“It’s about identifying who in our community is possibly a predator who we wouldn’t be able to identify if we didn’t have a registry in place,” Mitchell said.

Recommendations for an animal abuse registry in Greene County are not new — Mitchell began lobbying for a registry

more than a year ago, but efforts were sidetracked by the COVID-19 pandemic, Linger said.

A statewide registry would provide the most effective method of identifying animal abusers, Linger said.

“My suggestion was to link our registry to other registries in the state. We are kind of hoping this morphs into a statewide initiative because it would make it easier for people to do a comprehensive search,” Linger said. “Right now, counties are doing this on our own.”

The concept of an animal abuse registry has been broached with the Greene County District Attorney’s Office and the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, and both are on board, Linger said.

The next step would be for the proposal to make its way through the legislative process.

“At this point we do have the local law and the resolution written up,” Linger said. “The district attorney has looked it over so I would imagine during this month’s meeting cycles [of the Legislature] we would set up a public hearing and do a local law for next month. Once that passes, we will establish an animal abuse registry in Greene County.”

and they develop symptoms, they should consider getting tested,” Churchill said. “The vaccine is safe and effective and available down to age 12, so please consider getting one so we can all enjoy the return to normal.”

With the economy opening up and events being scheduled for the summer months after more than a year of shutdowns, time will tell whether infection rates will remain low, Linger said.

“Now we have events taking place this year that did not take place last year, so it’s a waiting game to see if there is any spread or new positives coming

State grants are lifeline for businesses Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced May 25 that the state is making $800 million available through the Small Business Recovery Grant Program to small businesses interested in applying for pandemic recovery grants.

Grant amounts will range from $5,000 to $50,000.

The grants can be used for reimbursable pandemic expenses such as payroll, supplies and materials related to COVID, rent and mortgage.

Applying for these grants should be a no-brainer for Greene and Columbia county businesses. Although there are economic requirements the businesses need to meet to be eligible for the funding, state aid could

prove a lifeline for many businesses as the economy begins to reopen after more than a year of shutdowns due to the virus outbreak.

COVID-related expenses that are eligible for reimbursement must have been incurred between March 1, 2020, and April 1, 2021, and can include payroll costs, commercial rent or mortgage payments, local property or school taxes, insurance and utility costs, expenses related to the purchase of personal protection equipment or PPE, heating, ventilation and airconditioning costs, supplies and materials needed to be in compliance with COVID protocols and other machin-

ery or equipment costs.

The grants could prove to be a boon to local small business owners. Hundreds of Greene and Columbia county businesses could benefit. A significant number of businesses would be eligible for this opportunity for recovery. If Greene and Columbia county businesses miss this opportunity, their ability to create jobs and attract new customers to the area will be hampered.

They will also lose business to surrounding counties with more to offer. If Greene and Columbia county small businesses are serious about post-pandemic recovery, it’s a gilt-edged priority for them to apply for these grants.

We’ve seen this on other fronts as well. A couple of weeks ago, McConnell piously claimed he wanted to read the “fine print” on the bill creating the commission examining the Jan. 6 insurrection, feigning open-mindedness before announcing his opposition barely 24 hours later.

We then learned he’d privately urged GOP senators to oppose the commission as a “personal favor” to him, which is exactly what it was, given that not having a commission will make it easier for him to recapture power next year.

When McConnell pretended to be open to the commission, he apparently figured you’d forget that he pulled the same stunt during then-President Donald Trump’s (second) impeachment. In January, he put on a great show of pretending to be open to voting for conviction. Amazingly, news organizations took this at face value, even though everyone knew it was utter nonsense.

One of the strangest things about McConnell is that he is often brazenly open about exactly what he is up to, even as he is plainly calculating that you’ll be snookered by it all the same.

National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month spotlights new advances and greater understanding

By Thomas Dabertin, MBA More than 40 million people in the United States are living with migraine disease and headache disorders. Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. households includes someone with migraine disease. I had my first migraine in my teens, and it was one of the reasons that motivated me to lead the National Headache Foundation.

June is National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month; our time on the national stage, and I hope you will join me in finding a way to help yourself, a loved one, friend or co-worker better understand migraine disease and headache disorders.

It is important to know and share how emerging treatments, pharmaceuticals and proactive physician-guided action can reduce missed workdays and increase time with your family. Our fundraising for research and programs are paying huge dividends and offering much-needed relief.

While we are serious about migraine and headache disorders, we are also having some fun while calling attention to our key messages and calls to action.

Today and throughout the month of June, we are wearing purple T-shirts and neckties, and planting purple flamingos to “put our foot down” to address migraine disease and headache disorders In 1990, the National Headache Foundation secured a week dedicated to awareness on migraine disease and headache disorders, and that has now grown into a month of activities and action items for patients, physicians,

VMI must act on a report revealing its ‘racist and sexist culture’ The Washington Post

To read the online chatter posted over the past year by some cadets, alumni and others affiliated with the Virginia Military Institute, you might think the allegations of racism and sexism at the college were cooked up by a cabal of prizehungry journalists, thinskinned minorities and politicians with their fingers in the wind. For those individuals in the VMI community, the results of an independent investigation released Tuesday should come as a wake-up call. VMI, the nation’s oldest state-supported military college, has grave, deep-rooted problems, and the school’s own denialism, resentment and insularity are impediments to fixing them.

The 145-page, state-sponsored report by the law firm Barnes & Thornburg, based on months of surveys, interviews and document reviews, concluded that VMI’s “overall racist and sexist culture” must be addressed through a muscular program of reforms. It added that the college’s abiding hostility to fundamental change does not “inspire confidence that it will follow through on this plan.” VMI

SEND LETTERS:

will undertake needed reforms, the report says, “only if it is forced to do so.”

That means Virginia’s elected officials, lawmakers and taxpayers, who chip in a fifth of VMI’s current $96 millionannual budget, have their work cut out. The good news is that the state’s current senior elected officials, all Democrats, seem to understand that. In a joint statement, Gov. Ralph Northam, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, Attorney General Mark Herring and the top leaders in the General Assembly reminded VMI that it “is an agency of state government, and we will hold it accountable.”

The bad news is that enablers of the college’s status quo, including its own governing body’s leaders and the state Senate’s top Republican, made clear they are skeptical of the report’s conclusions. All agreed VMI must be a welcoming and bias-free place. But in the same breath, the outgoing and incoming presidents of VMI’s governing Board of Visitors said the school “is not immune to the challenges all colleges face in this area” - the same we’reno-worse-than-anyone

excuse used by the Catholic Church to rationalize childabusing clergy. And state Sen. Tommy Norment, the Senate GOP leader (and a VMI alumnus), minimized the investigation’s findings, saying systemic problems - “subject to interpretation by critics or the uninformed” - could be identified at any school examined on a “granular basis.”

In fact, VMI’s festering issues are long in the making.

It denied admission to Black people until 1968 and to women until 1996, when its hand was forced by a Supreme Court ruling. Its student body includes nearly twice as many cadets of color as in 1992 but remains overwhelmingly White - 77 percent vs. 56 percent at the University of Virginia; hence the report’s findings that the school has been run “by white men, for white men.” Racial slurs and widespread misogyny on campus are reinforced by a culture of what the report called “silence, fear, and intimidation.”

Throughout the report’s preparation, VMI fought the investigators at every turn, despite pledging full cooperation.

Thomas M. Garrick We have lost another Renaissance Man. Tom Garrick has left us to join so many of his family who have preceded him to be with the Lord. Thomas Michael Garrick, was born on February 3, 1939, to David Leo Garrick and Mary Ellen Regan in New York City. The Garrick family lived in The Bronx where Tom attended Public School 97 with his 2 older brothers. His only sister joined the family in 1942. Their father retired from the NYFD in 1950 and all moved Upstate. Gallatin in Columbia County was Tom’s happy place from then on with the exception of college and his service in the US Army, primarily as the Chaplain’s assistant in Fort Sam Houston, TX. Tom was very intelligent and more than a willing learner. He graduated from Pine Plains Central School and SUNY Farmingdale. He was a man of multiple talents.

He could fix, repair, rebuild, replace, almost anything from auto and diesel engines, to house renovations, bulldozers, snowplows, and the list goes on and on. Tom had successful careers with Renault of America, taught automotive repair at Columbia Greene Community College, where he was an ASE Certified master technician and with IBM as an electrical engineer from which he “retired”. He really never retired. He served for a period of time after retirement as the Superintendent of buildings and grounds for the Pine Plains Central School District.

Tom also served two terms as Town Supervisor for the Town of Gallatin. Tom loved doing and being. He was the workaholic of the Garrick family. He was the quintessential volunteer as a member of the Pine Plains Lions Club, Knights of Columbus, Holy Trinity Parish in Germantown and Linlith go, as well as the American Legion Post 426.

In addition, he helped friends, neighbors, and relatives in any number of ways. Yes, he was quite amazing, but never was braggadocious nor a complainer. The most important things in Tom’s life were his family and his religion. He was a cradle Catholic who practiced his re-

ligion without fail for his entire life. Sadly, tragedy did not pass him by. He lost his youngest son Brian at age 27 and the true love of his life, second wife Barbara Nixon Surprise, at age 52 from cancer. In 1965 when he was honorably discharged from the US Army, Tom returned to the Gallatin homestead and never left, except for numerous road trips all over the US which he and Barbara thoroughly enjoyed. Their trip to Ireland, birthplace of all Tom’s grandparents, was the best in his mind and he never stopped talking about it. Tom is survived by his sister Mary (Philip) Bartolotta.

His sons, Sean (Emma Sue) Garrick, David Garrick, Timothy (Jenn) Nixon. His daughter Amy Nixon and grandsons David Garrick Jr., and Tyler Nixon.

Nephews Kevin (Angela) Bartolotta, James (Leanna) Garrick and Robert Garrick. Niece Maria Bartolotta (Gregory) Provenzo and sister-in-law Dolores Curry Garrick. Survivors also include numerous great nieces and great nephews. many cousins and numerous young men he took under his wings and guided through difficult times. In addition to his parents, Brian and Barbara he was predeceased by his brothers James Joseph, David Durkin, and nephew, Godson David Anthony Bartolotta.

Visitation hours will be from 4:00 to 8:00pm on Monday, June 7, 2021 from the Peck & Peck Funeral Home 7749 S. Main Street, Pine Plains. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, at 10:00 am from Holy Trinity Parish Church of the Resurrection, 9 Church Avenue, Germantown, New York.

Interment will follow in Evergreen Cemetery in Pine Plains.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Tom’s memory may be made to Holy Trinity Parish, 429 E. Allen Street, Hudson, NY 12534 or to the American Legion Post 426, 9 N. Main Street, Pine Plains, NY 12567.

Healthy soil eyed to combat climate change

By Kate Lisa Johnson Newspaper Corp.

ALBANY — State senators are expected to pass a measure in the coming days to create programs that would improve statewide soil health, water quality and New York’s overall impact on climate change.

The state Soil Health and Climate Resiliency Act would amend state agriculture and markets law and the soil and water conservation districts law to redefine soil health and establish three programs under the state Department of Agriculture and Markets: A soil health initiative to work with farmers to adopt soil health practices; a climate resiliency initiative led by the department, Cornell Cooperative Extension and other stakeholders to create soil health standards farmers can use to monitor their greenhouse gas emissions; and a research initiative to determine best soil health practices and make them readily available to New York farmers.

“The way our food is grown affects all of us — whether you live in upstate New York, Long Island, New York City, the way that food is produced and what you eat and where it’s produced has a direct and profound impact on our life and culture,” said Sen. Michelle Hinchey, D-Saugerties.

Hinchey, who chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee, sponsors the Senate bill, which is expected to come

Kate Lisa/Johnson Newspaper Corp.

Assemblymember Donna Lupardo, D-Endwell, speaks about the need for her bill, the Soil Health and Climate Resiliency Act, to pass the state Senate this week. Sen. Michelle Hinchey, D-Saugerties, sponsors the measure in the upper house.

to the floor for a vote in the coming days. The bill unanimously passed the Assembly last week with 147 votes.

The state’s 2021 legislative session ends June 10.

More than 95% of food comes straight from the soil, and soil health determines the quality of crops.

“We need to be doing everything we can to bring our environmental and agricultural communities together to benefit our planet,” Hinchey said.

Creating programs to improve the health of soil across New York will lead to a more stable and nutrient-dense food supply, cleaner water and air quality, reduces erosion and sequesters carbon, officials said.

Samantha Levy, New York policy manager for American Farmland Trust, said farmers will serve as leaders showing others the benefits of irrigation methods that improve soil health.

“I am focused on building my soil health and letting nature do some of the work for me,” according to a statement from John included in the study. “I may not be setting records for high yields, but at the end of the day, I’ve got more money in my pocket instead of shelling it all out up front.”

Elizabeth Wolters, deputy public policy director of the New York Farm Bureau, said farmers across the state have increased soil health practices, including cover cropping

and no-till practices, by 37% from 2012 to 2017.

Cover cropping, or plants planted to cover the soil and not for harvest, to prevent soil erosion, helps crops be more resilient in excess rain and drought, according to Cornell University research.

The bill will only help more farmers adopt regenerative practices to improve soil health, officials said, by providing additional tools, supports and incentives for farmers to transition to more profitable farming systems to help rebuild healthy soils and reduce atmospheric carbon levels.

Assemblywoman Didi Barrett, D-106, noted the state’s soil policy has not been updated since 1938, or the time of the Dust Bowl.

“So anything that we’re looking at to deal with remediation, or regenerative farming or sustainable agriculture is not even in the mix,” Barrett said of protecting the state’s agricultural economy.

“It is so important we pass this legislation ... to make sure people understand that healthy soils are connected to clean air and clean water in an integral way that makes this very much about climate change. We are all committed to the goals that we have, but there are a number of different ways that we can be reaching them. Making sure that healthy soils are part of the mix are critical.”

Cuomo: Schools can be student vaccination sites

By Kate Lisa

1,007 people Wednesday — the lowest since Oct. 21.

Eleven New Yorkers died from virus complications Tuesday — flat from the previous week.

Johnson Newspaper Corp.

NEW YORK — School districts may serve as COVID-19 vaccination sites for students ages 12 to 17, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said, as the state’s average virus positivity rate dipped to the lowest in the nation.

Public schools in New York City will start to vaccinate students in the Bronx on Friday, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday, with an expansion of the in-school vaccination program to all five boroughs next week.

Cuomo expressed interest in the idea Wednesday afternoon for public schools statewide at a coronavirus briefing in Manhattan.

“It is up to a school district if they want to do vaccines in school,” the governor said at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. “I think it’s smart. Many are doing it or are planning to do it. Do everything we can, right?

Just do everything you can do.”

Officials on the state’s Coronavirus Task Force have requested updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about its continued recommendation that school students to continue to wear masks or face coverings.

“We follow the CDC guidance, and it’s very rare we differ with the CDC,” Cuomo said.

“The mask mandate outside for students seems a little extreme to me and we’re talking to the CDC about it.”

About 9.5% of New Yorkers ages 12 to 17 have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, Cuomo said, and remains the priority age group to inoculate against the novel coronavirus.

The state recently started a public advertising campaign targeted to vaccinating young New Yorkers after health experts on the state’s Clinical Advisory Task Force recommended Pfizer-BioNTech’s two-dose shot for 12- to 15-year-olds May 12.

The shot was initially approved for residents ages 16 and older.

The first 10 winners were selected Wednesday of 12 to 17-year-olds who entered the state’s Get a Shot To Make Your Future program for a chance to win a full scholarship to a State University of New York or City

University of New York campus for up to four years of full-time undergraduate or an approved five-year bachelor’s degree program for getting their first COVID vaccine dose.

The winners include Jack McAuliffe, of Clinton County; Chase French, of Monroe County; Jack Lucchesi, of Ontario County; Peter Smith, of Onondaga County; and Adam Judson, of Albany County. The other five winners were selected from New York City, Long Island and the surrounding downstate metropolitan counties.

“Congratulations to them and congratulations to their parents, as a parent, because funding college is a nightmare for families all across America,” Cuomo said.

Teens must enter the random drawing online at forms.ny.gov/ s3/Get-A-Shot-To-Make-YourFuture-Registration to participate in the Get A Shot To Make Your Future program, which ends June 30.

Drawings will take place each Wednesday for four more weeks, or 40 additional free rides. Eligible teens who entered the raffle will remain in the pool for the duration of the program as a chance to win.

“Come and get a vaccination, which you should do anyway, and you will be eligible for a raffle,” the governor added.

“The raffle is the cherry on the cake, as far as I’m concerned, it’s something smart that you should do anyway.”

About 57.3% of New Yorkers over the age of 18 are fully vaccinated against COVID, with

65.5% of state adults receiving at least one dose to date.

Cuomo held Wednesday’s COVID-19 update in the Javits Center to reflect on the pandemic’s trajectory.

Javits was converted into a field hospital last spring with about 4,500 beds for overflow virus patients when the state’s COVID-19 infection rate peaked at 48.1% on April 4, 2020. It was the highest coronavirus infection rate in the nation, and one of the highest in the world, at the time.

New York on Wednesday became the state with the nation’s lowest seven-day average COVID positivity rate at 0.64%.

Massachusetts has the secondlowest at 0.68%, followed by Vermont at 0.79%.

The state’s COVID-19 positivity rate dipped to 0.61% Wednesday, and 0.64% over a seven-day average — the lowest since Sept. 2, continuing 58 straight days of decline.

“New York state has the lowest weekly positivity rate of any state in the United States of America,” Cuomo said. “It is extraordinary for New York, to understand what New Yorkers have accomplished. And not only did we bring the number down initially, we have kept the number down to this day. If you had told us a year ago when we were walking through this facility, don’t worry, you’re going to turn it around and New York is going to wind up with the lowest positivity, I wouldn’t have believed you.”

Hudson Hall presents

CALENDAR LISTINGS

The Marcus Strickland Quartet HUDSON — Hudson Hall presents two performances of the Marcus Strickland Quartet, led by the eponymous GRAMMY-nominated jazz saxophonist and producer.

Strickland has blazed his musical trail for 20 years as a charter member of the 21st century jazz vanguard. He’s shared album credits with the likes of Robert Glasper, Bilal, Mos Def, Roy Haynes and Dave Douglas, and is as at home in the world of classic post-bop as he is in neo-soul Afro-futurism. Strickland comes by his genre-mashing approach to jazz honestly being born to a drummer father, raised in Miami, and becoming devoted to a wide range of artists and styles around Afro-Caribbean rhythms.

Strickland has a consciousness-forward “social music” approach to music.

His compositions are rooted in tradition and define a new

direction in contemporary music, demonstrated on two acclaimed Blue Note releases with his Twi-Life group, “People of the Sun” and “Nihil Novi.” For his debut at Hudson Hall, Strickland presents new arrangements of the Twi-Life repertoire, alongside songs born of the musical intimacy of his quartet ensemble, anchored by brother drummer E.J. Strickland, bassist Ben Williams, and Julius Rodriguez, on keyboards. The Marcus Strickland Quartet performs at 7 p.m. June 5 and at 5 p.m. June 6. For tickets or information, visit hudsonhall. org or call (518) 822-1433.

Tickets: Hudson Hall Live Arts Sponsor Tickets: $500/ per table of 2; $1,000/per table of 4, includes preset wine and nibbles. Or Table Tickets: $75 each for tables of 2 or 4, or Single Tickets: $35 per ticket (theater-style, socially-distanced, grouped by order) Live from

Visitors to Hudson Hall must comply with safety protocols, such as social distancing and wearing a mask unless while seated AND eating or drinking. Hudson Hall reserves the right to refuse entry to anyone who does not comply with these guidelines.

Hudson Hall is a cultural beacon in the Hudson Valley, offering a dynamic year-round schedule of music, theater, dance, literature, workshops for youth and adults, as well as family programs and largescale community events such as Winter Walk. Located in a historic landmark that houses New York State’s oldest surviving theater, Hudson Hall

underwent a full restoration reopening to the public in April 2017 for the first time in over 55 years. Unique in its ability to bridge the divide across Hudson’s populations, Hudson Hall’s programs are designed to respond to the economic and cultural needs of its diverse community. In 2019, through an extensive program encompassing live performance, art exhibitions, city-wide festivals, free community events and workshops, Hudson Hall served an audience of 50,000 and employed over 400 artists and skilled technicians, making it a valuable contributor to Columbia County’s $8MM creative economy. Approximately 70% of Hudson Hall’s programs are free of charge or subsidized to ensure equitable access to the arts. Learn more about Hudson Hall’s health and safety protocols.

The Theater Barn announces 37th summer and fall seasons NEW LEBANON — The Theater Barn announces that the 37th Anniversary Season will open at 8 p.m. June 3 with We the People by Harrison Zeiberg. This historical fiction brings us to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1784 as our founding fathers begin to create a new nation. The play which won a National New Works Award was presented virtually by the Actor’s Fund in 2020. The plot reveals the biased and flawed characters of seven founding forefathers as they debate the articles of the constitution.

This fictional retelling will be a staged reading with some of the ‘Barn’s most beloved actors. The audience is invited to join the cast and crew for wine and hors d’oeuvres after the show opening night.

Up next is Fully Committed

by Becky Mode. This wildly funny one-man play centers on a struggling actor who works as a reservation clerk at a chic Manhattan restaurant.

One man takes on 36 characters and it all takes place during an extremely busy shift, during which he is forced to

deal with coworkers, friends, family, his wayward agent, the restaurant’s extremely temperamental chef and a host of demanding customers who are dying to get into the posh, over-booked eatery.

The annual tradition continues at the ‘Barn with a Berkshire premier by Dame Agatha Christie. Based on her short story, Philomel Cottage, The Stranger is a haunting psychological affair and offers an early look at Christie as a young and vibrant writer of murder and mayhem. The first of three musicals Night and Day: Love Lost and Found Through the Eyes of Cole Porter is an originally conceived romantic comedy featuring the music and lyrics of Cole Porter, and spins a romantic story of a love affair gone awry that is just ‘Too Darn Hot’ to miss.

Good grief! Next on stage at the ‘Barn is You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown (1999 Revival) based on The Comic Strip PEANUTS by Charles M. Schultz. Charm, wit, and heart fill the theater through the eyes of the Peanuts gang.

This 1999 revival includes a few new scenes and songs, but still has much of the 1977 classic charm and is guaranteed to please audiences of all ages. The fall season encore at the ‘Barn is David LyndsayAbaire’s 2016 Tony Award® winning comedic play, Good People, straight out of Boston’s infamous ‘Irish Southie’ neighborhood. Poignant and brave, the humor abounds in Abaire’s focus on what it means to be down on your luck in our world today.

This season marks the promotion of Allen Phelps into the role of Producing Artistic Director. Previous and beloved producers, Joan and Abe Phelps have stepped away from producing and are now serving as executives on the board of directors. Jon Earle, who has been with theater since 1992, has stepped into the role of Associate Producing Director and newcomer, Monica Bliss, former Artistic Director at the Whitney Center for the Arts, has joined the line-up as Associate Artistic Director.

Both Artistic Directors will

appear on stage this summer.

Allen Phelps will play Butter the Butler in Night and Day, and Monica Bliss will play Mrs. Huggins the Maid in The Stranger.

Since 1984, The Theater Barn has a tradition of producing high quality, family friendly plays, comedies, mysteries and musicals from Broadway and beyond at an affordable price. Located just 20 minutes from Pittsfield, it is an easy drive from the Berkshires, Capital District and Springfield areas.

New this year are 2 p.m.

Thursday matinees on select summer dates and Saturday 4pm matinees continue throughout the fall. Tickets are $30–$33 with a 6-show discounted season ticket for $165.

Inconsequential moments take on the same significance as historical events: a couple floats over a wartorn Cologne; on the way to a birthday party, a father stops to tie his daughter’s shoelaces in the pouring rain; teenage girls dance outside a cafe; a defeated army marches to a prisoner-of-war camp. Simultaneously an ode and a lament, ABOUT ENDLESSNESS presents a kaleidoscope of all that is eternally human, an infinite story of the vulnerability of existence. Narrative film. Sweden.

In their stories, we hear of the dire circumstances they faced in their rural villages and small towns, and the substantial political effort undertaken to address it, from the social revolution of the 1950s through the unrest of the late 1980s. In their faces, we see full volumes left unsaid. Jia weaves it all together with his usual brilliance.

Activists, Dems make last push for Clean Slate

By Kate Lisa Johnson Newspaper Corp.

ALBANY — Lawmakers are pushing in their last scheduled days of session for the year to vote on a bill that would expunge the criminal records of millions of New Yorkers.

The Clean Slate Act would seal and expunge the criminal record of about 2.3 million New Yorkers after completion of their prison sentence. The law would clear records after one year for misdemeanors and three years for certain felonies.

Cedric Fulton, civil rights manager with the Hudson/ Catskill Housing Coalition, joined hundreds of people, including activists, lawmakers and formerly incarcerated people across the state Thursday to push for lawmakers to pass the Clean Slate Act before the end of session June 10.

“I’m one of the 2.3 million New Yorkers — my children shouldn’t have to suffer either,” said Fulton, a Hudson native who now lives in Watervliet. “We need Clean Slate now. We need it automatic.”

Fulton led dozens of people chanting in favor of the Clean Slate measure outside the state Capitol in Albany on Thursday. Late-morning rallies went on concurrently about the issue in Buffalo, Rochester, on Long Island and New York City.

The measure has remained in the Assembly Codes Committee since March 17, and in the Senate Finance Committee since May 19.

Officials in the criminaljustice system, such as judges, district attorneys and police, would continue to have access to sealed criminal documents if the bill becomes law and millions of residents’ records are expunged.

KATE LISA/JOHNSON NEWSPAPER CORP.

Hudson native Cedric Fulton, civil rights manager with Hudson/ Catskill Housing Coalition, leads a rally in favor of the Clean Slate act in West Capitol Park on Thursday.

Susan Terry, a leading advocate in Troy and member of the Hudson/Catskill Housing Coalition, shared how her past criminal conviction in 2008 has impacted her 22-year-old son’s life.

Her son’s former partner used Terry’s record in a tense custody battle for his child, she said. Her son has never been arrested nor convicted of a misdemeanor or violation offense.

“Because I’m a convicted felon from 2008, they not only gave her full sole custody, they gave her an order of protection,” Terry said of her grandchild. “I raised my kids to do the right thing. Here we have a 22-year-old male who’s never been arrested, who graduated with Regents honors and he lost his son because of a 13-year-old conviction.”

As a formerly convicted felon who completed her sentence, Terry is often rejected from housing or employment opportunities.

“Maybe [lawmakers] will expunge that so people will see me as a citizen like anyone else,” she said. “We need Clean Slate. Show people

that if you do the right thing and respect the law, the law will work for you.”

Bill co-sponsors Assemblyman Harvey Epstein, D-Manhattan, and Assemblyman Demond Meeks, D-Rochester, said Thursday that passing the Clean Slate Act is critical for the state.

“This gives people a second chance, and that’s exactly what we believe in,” Epstein said, adding people who completed their prison sentence and have been rehabilitated should have the same opportunities as others.

A growing number of lawmakers and advocating community members support the Clean Slate bill, Meeks said.

“So I think it’s a possibility we could see it happen next week,” he said.

Meeks argued passing the Clean Slate bill would save millions of dollars in the penal and courts system, reducing lawsuits from convicted New Yorkers.

Formerly incarcerated people lose nearly $500,000 in earnings over their lifetime, the assemblymember said, adding the Clean Slate

Assemblyman Harvey Epstein, D-Manhattan, a co-sponsor of the Clean Slate bill, urges his colleagues to move the measure forward and bring it to the floor for a vote before the end of session next week.

measure would help to reverse that statistic and benefit communities as a whole.

“We’re talking about people who have an opportunity to contribute to society as opposed to continuously being locked up and incarcerated or having the mistakes of the past continue to haunt them,” Meeks said. “I know individuals personally who have committed to giving back to their community.

Some have obtained master’s degrees in their perspective field, and they’re still struggling to find employment opportunities, because every time, one of the first conversations they must have is something that took place 20-something years ago.

“We have to recognize it gives people dignity and a sense of self pride to be able to know ‘Hey, I made some

mistakes, but I’m ready and I’m committed to doing better from this day forth,’ as opposed to receiving a life sentence that continues to haunt you day after day.”

Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt, R-North Tonawanda, spoke out against the Clean Slate measure earlier this week.

Republicans, and some Democrats, have taken issue with the measure, including how it would financial or structurally alter the state’s penal and courts systems.

“This is another example of legislation under the guise of ‘reform’ that will lead to less safe communities,” Ortt said in a statement Thursday.

“This bill would expunge the records of even the most violent offenders — including murderers and a host of serious other crimes. How does

concealing this information protect vulnerable individuals from encountering potentially violent offenders at work or at home? Like most of the Democrats’ ‘reforms’, this bill goes too far. Our conference will continue to focus on proposals that restore common sense and public safety.”

Progressive Democrats are hopeful the bill will pass before session ends.

“In the last four days of session, it’s hard to know anything that’s going to happen,” Epstein said.

The Assembly Majority conference is expected to discuss the Clean Slate bill and other criminal justice reforms, including measures to reform the state’s parole system, in the coming days.

FBI investigating Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in connection with his political fundraising Matt Zapotosky and Jacob Bogage The Washington Post

WASHINGTON - The FBI is investigating Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in connection with campaign fundraising activity involving his former business, according to people familiar with the matter and a spokesman for DeJoy. FBI agents in recent weeks interviewed current and former employees of DeJoy and the business, asking questions about political contributions and company activities, these people said. Prosecutors also issued a subpoena to DeJoy himself for information, one of the people said.

That person, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing and politically sensitive investigation.

Mark Corallo, a DeJoy spokesman, confirmed the investigation in a statement but insisted DeJoy had not knowingly violated any laws.

“Mr. DeJoy has learned that the Department of Justice is investigating campaign contributions made by employees who worked for him when he was in the private sector,” Corallo said.

“He has always been scrupulous in his adherence to the campaign contribution laws and has never knowingly violated them.”

The inquiries could signal impending legal peril for the controversial head of the nation’s mail service though DeJoy has not been charged with any crimes and has previously asserted that he and his company followed the law in their campaign fundraising activity.

Spokesmen for the FBI, Justice Department and Postal Service declined to comment.

DeJoy - who was appointed to run the Postal Service by its board of

governors last May - has been dogged by controversy for almost his entire time in office. Soon after starting in the job, he imposed cost-cutting moves that led to a reduction in overtime and limits on mail trips that mail carriers blamed for creating backlogs across the country.

Democrats accused the prominent GOP fundraiser, who personally gave more than $1.1 million to the joint fundraising vehicle of President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican Party, of trying to undermine his own organization because of Trump’s distrust of mail-in voting.

Two Democratic lawmakers, Reps.

Ted Lieu of California and Hakeem Jeffries of New York sent a letter to the FBI asking agents to investigate whether DeJoy or the Postal Service’s governing board “committed any crimes” in stalling mail.

In a congressional hearing last year, DeJoy disputed he was trying to affect the vote.

“I am not engaged in sabotaging the election,” DeJoy said at the time.

“We will do everything in our power and structure to deliver the ballots on time.”

In early September, The Washington Post published an extensive examination of how employees at DeJoy’s former company, North Carolinabased New Breed Logistics, alleged they were pressured by DeJoy or his aides to attend political fundraisers or make contributions to Republican candidates, and then were paid back through bonuses.

Such reimbursements could run afoul of state or federal laws, which prohibit “straw-donor” schemes meant to allow wealthy donors to evade individual contribution limits and obscure the source of a

candidate’s money. In April, though, Wake County, N.C., District Attorney Lorrin Freeman, a Democrat, said that she would not pursue an investigation of DeJoy and that the matter was better left to federal authorities.

DeJoy has adamantly disputed that he broke the law. Asked at a hearing in August by Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., if he had repaid executives for making donations to the Trump campaign, DeJoy responded: “That’s an outrageous claim, sir, and I resent it. . . . The answer is no.”

When The Post later published its report, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which she chairs, would begin an inquiry and asserted DeJoy may have lied to the panel under oath.

Corallo noted in his statement about the FBI investigation that DeJoy “fully cooperated with and answered the questions posed by Congress regarding these matters.”

“The same is true of the Postal Service Inspector General’s inquiry which after a thorough investigation gave Mr. DeJoy a clean bill of health on his disclosure and divestment issues,” Corallo said. “He expects nothing less in this latest matter and he intends to work with DOJ toward swiftly resolving it.”

Asked Thursday about the development and whether President Joe Biden believed DeJoy should step down, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden would “leave the investigation and the process . . . to the Department of Justice.”

Last year, five people who worked for New Breed Logistics told The Post that they were urged by DeJoy’s aides or by DeJoy himself to write checks and attend fundraisers at his mansion.

Two employees said DeJoy would then instruct that bonus payments be boosted to help defray the cost of their contributions.

A Post analysis of federal and state campaign finance records found a pattern of extensive donations by New Breed employees to Republican candidates, with the same amount often given by multiple people on the same day. Between 2000 and 2014, 124 individuals who worked for the company together gave more than $1 million to federal and state GOP candidates.

Many had not previously made political donations, according to The Post’s analysis.

“He would ask employees to make contributions at the same time that he would say, ‘I’ll get it back to you down the road,’ “ one former employee, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Post last year.

At the time of The Post’s report Monty Hagler, a DeJoy spokesman, said DeJoy was not aware that any employees had felt pressured to make donations and “believes that he has always followed campaign fundraising laws and regulations.” Hagler said DeJoy “sought and received legal advice” from a former general counsel for the Federal Election Commission “to ensure that he, New Breed Logistics and any person affiliated with New Breed fully complied with any and all laws.”

The federal law banning straw-donor schemes has a five-year statute of limitations, which could complicate a possible criminal case. The former employees who spoke to The Post last year described donations they gave between 2003 and 2014, the year when New Breed was acquired by a Connecticut-based company called XPO Logistics.

DeJoy remained at XPO briefly in an

executive role and retired at the end of 2015 - though he was then appointed to the company’s board of directors, where he served until 2018.

In the wake of The Post’s report, the Campaign Legal Center, an advocacy organization, filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that suspicious donation activity continued after New Breed’s acquisition. A Federal Election Commission spokesman confirmed the commission had received the complaint but declined to comment further.

Between 2015 and 2018, the group alleged, campaign finance records showed “several instances of XPO employees contributing to the same candidate or committee, during the same period of time, and often in similar amounts,” and that “DeJoy family members, including DeJoy’s collegeaged children, also made contributions on the same day or in the same period as those employees.”

“Between 2015 and 2018, XPO Logistics employees and DeJoy family members following this pattern together gave over $150,000 to the same candidates and committees, including over $50,000 to Trump Victory, President Donald Trump’s joint fundraising committee,” the group alleged.

“As a company, XPO stays out of politics,” said Joe Checkler, an XPO spokesman. “Our employees have the same right as anyone to support candidates of their choosing in their free time. Whenever our employees support political candidates, they are expected to strictly follow all applicable laws.”

The Washington Post’s Aaron Davis, Amy Gardner and Jon Swaine contributed to this report.

Preusser started the game on the mound for the Titans, and was in trouble early after walking Azar Brantley to start the game. Brantley stole second base and came around to score on an RBI double by Eddie Rogers and the Cats had a 1-0 lead.

With Aiden Leipman on the hill for Catskill to begin the game, the Titans’ bats were quieted in the first inning.

Preusser had a bounce back inning in the top of the second, getting two strikeouts and stranding a runner on first base.

Taconic Hills had a good chance to score in the bottom half after backto-back one out singles by Bonci and Nole Atwood put runners on first and third. Atwood was thrown out trying to steal second though, and Ben Hunter grounded out to short to end the inning before the Titans could score.

EAST DURHAM — The Taconic Hills tennis team ended the season on a high note with a 4-3 victory over CairoDurham in Wednesday’s Patroon Conference match.

The Titans finish 5-7.

“It was nice to finish our season with a win,” Taconic Hills coach Tom Russo said.

“Chris (Russell) won the last 11 games in his match to win 7-5, 6-0. I am pleased with how our team played today.

Seniors Chris Russell, Josh Sena, and Megan Savage will be greatly missed next year.

However, if the rest of the team improves next year as much as they did this year, we will be in decent shape.”

Results Singles: Christopher Russell (Taconic Hills) over Drew Sirago (Cairo-Durham) 7-5, 6-0; Connor Gruppo (Taconic Hills) over Steven Maggio (Cairo-Durham) 6-2, 7-6(7-1); Kingston Czajkowski (Cairo-Durham) over Josh Sena (Taconic Hills) 7-5, 6-2; Sebastian Camacho (Taconic Hills) over Alex Gouza (CairoDurham) 7-5, 6-1; Brenden Feeney (Cairo-Durham) over Anthony Genovese (Taconic Hills) 6-2, 6-2.

MLB roundup: Urshela’s HR helps Yankees edge Rays Field Level Media

Gio Urshela hit an early two-run home run, Jordan Montgomery pitched effectively into the seventh inning and New York edged visiting Tampa Bay, 4-3, on Wednesday.

The Yankees secured at least a split of the fourgame series and beat Tampa Bay for the fourth time in the past six meetings after opening the season series 1-5. Clint Frazier, who hit a game-ending tworun homer in the 11th inning Tuesday, added a tworun single.

Tampa Bay scored its first two runs on an RBI groundout by Manuel Margot in the fourth and a sacrifice fly by Yandy Diaz in the fifth. Tampa Bay dropped consecutive games for the first time since May 11-12, also against the Yankees. It was only the third loss in 19 games for the Rays.

Mets 7, D-backs 6 New York scored five runs in the first two innings but needed a run-scoring single from Pete Alonso in the ninth to beat Arizona in Phoenix.

The win gave the Mets the series, 2-1. New York has won six of its past seven games.

It was a high-scoring affair from the start with the Mets tagging Arizona starter Madison Bumgarner for four runs in the first inning – three coming on a home run to left from James McCann. New York starter David Peterson fared worse. He was pulled after giving up four runs and recording just one out.

Astros 2, Red Sox 1 Framber Valdez struck out 10 in his second start, and Houston extended its winning streak to four games with the victory over visiting Boston.

Valdez logged seven innings, and it marked the seventh consecutive game that an Astros starter allowed just one run. Houston starters have compiled a 1.45 ERA during that stretch.

Astros closer Ryan Pressly notched his eighth save despite allowing two hits in the ninth inning. Boston will attempt to avoid a four-game series sweep in the finale Thursday.

Dodgers 14, Cardinals 3 Cody Bellinger had a grand slam and six RBIs during an 11-run first inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers rolled to a 14-3 victory at home Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Dodgers sent 14 batters to the plate in the inning and didn’t make their first out until No. 9 hitter Walker Buehler struck out. Los Angeles had scored six times by then.

It was the most runs in any inning for the Dodgers since moving to Los Angeles in 1958 and the largest inning since the Brooklyn Dodgers scored 15 in one frame in 1952. The Dodgers scored 11 runs in the first inning of Game 3 in the National League Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves last season.

Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez (3-5) recorded just two outs, giving up 10 runs on six hits with four walks and one strikeout. The outing set a Dodger Stadium record for most runs allowed by a starter in less than a full inning of work.

Athletics 6, Mariners 0 Sean Manaea pitched a four-hit shutout as Oakland defeated host Seattle.

Mitch Moreland homered for the A’s, who won the final two games of the series after dropping the opener. Manaea (4-2), a left-hander, walked two and struck out eight in his second career nine-inning complete game. The other came on April 21, 2018, when he no-hit the Boston Red Sox. Mariners right-hander Chris Flexen (5-3) gave up five runs on seven hits in six innings, with one walk and three strikeouts. Flexen retired the side in order in the first two innings before running into trouble in the third, when the A’s scored five runs.

Cubs 6, Padres 1 Anthony Rizzo snapped a 1-1 tie with a two-run double in the fifth and Javier Baez rocketed a tworun homer two innings later to lead Chicago to a win and a three-game sweep of visiting San Diego.

The game featured Padres left fielder Tommy Pham and shortstop Ha-Seong Kim, who knocked in the Padres’ only run on a fourth-inning single, both leaving early after a scary collision in short left field in the bottom of the fourth.

Cubs starter Adbert Alzolay (4-4) got the win, allowing a run on three hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in five innings. Padres starter Dinelson Lamet gave up a run on four hits and a walk with six strikeouts in four innings.

Orioles 6, Twins 3 Ryan Mountcastle hit a three-run homer and DJ Stewart added a two-run shot as Baltimore defeated visiting Minnesota.

The Orioles have won two in a row after snapping their 14-game losing streak Tuesday, which also ended a 16-game dry spell against the Twins dating to 2018. Baltimore starter Matt Harvey served as an opener, giving up one run in three innings before rookie Tyler Wells (1-0) threw three shutout innings.

Twins starter Randy Dobnak (1-5) took the loss as his early-season problems continued. He allowed three runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Nationals 5, Braves 3 Catcher Yan Gomes broke a tie game with a long solo homer in the eighth inning to help visiting Washington defeat Atlanta.

Gomes hit a 2-2 cutter from reliever A.J. Minter (12) into the third row of the center field stands for his fifth home run. The Nationals added an insurance run in the ninth on Trea Turner’s RBI single off Chris Martin.

Atlanta starter Drew Smyly was removed after pitching 4 1/3 innings. He allowed three runs on seven hits, two walks and six strikeouts.

Blue Jays 6, Marlins 5 Joe Panik capped a three-run bottom of the ninth with a sacrifice fly as Toronto defeated visiting Miami at Buffalo.

Miami closer Yimi Garcia (3-4) allowed singles to Reese McGuire and Marcus Semien to start the bottom of the ninth. Bo Bichette tripled to tie the score.

NBA roundup: Trae Young, Hawks eliminate Knicks Field Level Media

Trae Young continued his breakout postseason, scoring 18 of his game-high 36 points in the fourth quarter as the visiting Atlanta Hawks eliminated the New York Knicks with a 103-89 win in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinals.

The fifth-seeded Hawks, who won the final three games by a combined 42 points to clinch their first series win since 2016, will face the topseeded Philadelphia 76ers in the conference semifinals beginning Sunday.

The 30-point game was the third of the series for Young, who averaged 29.2 points per game.

Clint Capela (14 points, 15 rebounds) had a double-double for the Hawks while De’Andre Hunter scored 15 points and John Collins 13.

Julius Randle (23 points, 13 rebounds) posted a double-double as a resurgent season ended for the fourth-seeded Knicks, who made the playoffs for the first time since 2013.

Jazz 126, Grizzlies 110 Donovan Mitchell amassed 30 points and 10 assists to lead Utah to a first-round-clinching Game 5 victory over Memphis in Salt Lake City.

Sixth Man of the Year winner Jordan Clarkson added 24 points and Rudy Gobert totaled 23 points with 15 rebounds and three blocks as the Jazz, who led by as many as 35 points, earned their fourth consecutive win to eliminate the Grizzlies.

Ja Morant tallied 27 points with 11 assists while Dillon Brooks also scored 27 for the Grizzlies, who were in the playoffs for the first time in four years.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (11) drives past New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (30) in the fourth quarter during game five in the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.

Memphis had to win two games in the play-in – over San Antonio and Golden State – to qualify for

the playoffs.

Mavericks 105, Clippers 100

Tim Hardaway Jr. and Kristaps Porzingis rescued a tiring Luka Doncic with consecutive 3-pointers inside the final three minutes and visiting Dallas survived a frantic Los Angeles rally for a victory and a 3-2 lead in their Western Conference first-round playoff series.

Doncic finished with a game-high 42 points, helping the Mavericks record the series’ fifth consecutive victory by the road team.

Returning to the site of their surprising wins in Games 1 and 2 of the series, the fifth-seeded Mavericks led most of the way, including by as many as 16 points early in the fourth quarter. But with Doncic running out of gas, the Mavericks managed just four points over nearly a nine-minute span of the fourth period, allowing the fourthseeded Clippers to climb within 95-91.

76ers 129, Wizards 112 Seth Curry scored a playoff career-high 30 points, Tobias Harris added 28 points and nine rebounds and host Philadelphia eliminated Washington in five games.

Ben Simmons started at center and had 19 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for the topseeded Sixers, who will meet the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Bradley Beal led the eighth-seeded Wizards with 32 points while Russell Westbrook had 24 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds. Rui Hachimura added 21 points.

Danny Ainge steps down, Brad Stevens moves to front office Ben Golliver The Washington Post

To celebrate the Brooklyn Nets’ Game 4 win on Sunday, Kyrie Irving walked toward center court at Boston’s TD Garden, exchanged high fives with a few teammates and then stomped his left foot directly on the head of the Celtics’ “Lucky the Leprechaun” logo. Two years ago, the all-star guard was at the center of a Celtics implosion that eventually led him to sign with the Nets in free agency. Now, Irving was engaging in a specific type of logo-desecrating provocation that is usually confined to the most heated college football rivalries.

Before he could enter the locker room tunnel, Irving was nearly hit by a water bottle thrown by a Celtics fan, who was later arrested on a felony assault charge. Over the next 48 hours, prominent former Celtics publicly objected to Irving’s act. “You can’t do that,” Kevin Garnett wrote on Instagram.

“You step on Lucky, you step on everybody that played for that team,” Glen Davis added.

The current Celtics, or what was left of them, were more blasé, playing hard enough in a 123-109 Game 5 loss on Tuesday to keep the final score respectable, but not well enough to truly threaten the Nets. Boston conceded open dunks and steered clear of hard fouls and trash talk; Irving, who lounged with Kevin Durant and James Harden on the sideline for the game’s final two minutes, was greeted with concessionary hugs from his opponents once the final buzzer sounded.

This Celtics campaign, marked by disappointments and indignities, ended with a whimper of wounded pride, leading longtime president Danny Ainge to step down Wednesday after 18 years in the front office. Brad Stevens, Boston’s coach for the past eight seasons, has been promoted to president and a new coach will be hired to replace him.

“Helping guide this organization has been the thrill of a lifetime, and having worked

side-by-side with him since he’s been here, I know we couldn’t be in better hands than with Brad guiding the team going forward,” Ainge said in a statement.

After reaching the Eastern Conference finals in the Disney World bubble, Boston lost Gordon Hayward in free agency and never found its mojo once games began. Kemba Walker dealt with an early-season knee injury, Jayson Tatum endured a nasty bout with covid-19 and Jaylen Brown suffered a season-ending wrist injury. Along the way, Stevens was saddled with unbalanced lineups and got precious little from Ainge’s biggest acquisitions, Tristan Thompson and Evan Fournier.

The Celtics tumbled out of the top tier of East contenders into the play-in round; their firstround loss to the Nets was a formality, with Brown, Walker and Robert Williams all missing time in the series.

Of course, Stevens isn’t inheriting an empty cupboard thanks to Tatum, the 23-yearold all-star forward who sparkled with 50-point performances in a play-in win over the Washington Wizards and in a Game 3 victory over the Nets.

Brown’s growth, which led to his first all-star selection, was another key development for a franchise that regressed following three trips to the conference finals in the previous four years.

“We never got a true look at this team this year, but I think we have enough information that shows we need to get better,” Stevens said Tuesday. “I just told the team, in a lot of ways, it was as hard of a year as any of us has been through.”

Tatum, Walker, and Marcus Smart all cited injuries and covid-19 absences to explain Boston’s early exit on Tuesday, but it was time to ask real questions about the Celtics’ longer-term outlook. Outside of Tatum and Brown, Boston’s rotation suddenly has a lot more questions than answers.

The list of concerns starts with Walker, who at 31 was a far cry from the all-star point guard

that Boston acquired in 2019.

Walker’s scoring, shooting efficiency and ability to get to the rim all dipped as he dealt with injuries, and it’s still not clear whether he can be a consistent impact-making presence in the postseason. Trading Walker for an upgrade at that spot could prove difficult - he is owed $36 million next season and holds a $37.7 million option for 202223 - so Boston is probably stuck hoping that a full offseason can help him recapture his form.

“It wasn’t the greatest season for me personally,” Walker said. “I’m planning on having a big summer and getting myself feeling good again. This is just an important time for me.

It’s been really tough. I came to Boston to be a part of those special runs and high-intensity games and fans going wild, and I wasn’t able to be a part of that unfortunately. I’ve just got to get right.”

With Tatum, Brown and Walker all locked into large contracts, Boston’s flexibility will once again be limited.

The years of hoarding countless extra draft picks are over, and the Celtics’ young bench group left much to be desired.

While Ainge constructed Boston’s 2008 title, executed a wellregarded blockbuster deal in 2013 and had draft wins with Tatum and Brown, his recent work targeting free agents and constructing trades for supporting pieces left a lot to be desired. The departures of Irving and Hayward, along with Al Horford, left Boston thin at key positions.

Fournier, who arrived in a midseason deal, is due a new contract, but he’s a one-way player who will be easy to overpay. Boston’s lackluster front line rotation received nice contributions from Williams, but Thompson is nothing more than a placeholder. Boston dropped from fourth to 13th in defensive efficiency this season, and it came by that statistical slippage honestly. Co-owner Wyc Grousbeck referred to Stevens as a “special basketball mind” in a statement, entrusting him to “lead us into the next

great era of Celtics basketball.”

“I’m excited to tackle this new role, starting with a wide ranging and comprehensive search for our next head coach,” Stevens said in a statement. “I love the Celtics, and know the great honor and responsibility that comes with this job. I will give it everything I have to help us be in position to consistently compete for championships.”

While Robert Williams, Grant Williams, Payton Pritchard and Aaron Nesmith should show improvement as they are all 23 years old or younger, Stevens’ surest path back to contention starts with Tatum. In his fourth season, the St. Louis native averaged 26.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists - all career-highs - and displayed a more assertive approach to finishing off wins in

close games.

To this point, Tatum has been the most talented piece on well-balanced rosters.

Going forward, he must become a full-fledged franchise

player, carrying the organization through slumps, setting a sharper tone with his leadership and asserting himself when possible in the pursuit of free agents.

Churchill Downs suspends Bob Baffert, the embattled trainer of Medina Spirit, for two years Matt Bonesteel The Washington Post

Churchill Downs on Wednesday suspended Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert for two years, a decision that came amid news that another test on Medina Spirit - the Kentucky Derby winner Baffert trained - again showed betamethasone, a second result that put the colt’s victory in question.

Craig Robertson, an attorney for Baffert, said in an email that the Florida-bred colt’s split sample showed the anti-inflammatory drug, though he noted that other testing was still ongoing. Hours later, Churchill Downs announced the two-year suspension, handing down a ban that will run until the end of the 2023 spring meet.

“Reckless practices and substance violations that jeopardize the safety of our equine and human athletes or compromise the integrity of our sport are not acceptable and as a company we must take measures to demonstrate that they will not be tolerated,” Churchill Downs Inc. Bill Carstanjen said in a statement, which referenced previous concerns about Baffert-trained horses.

“Mr. Baffert’s record of testing failures threatens public confidence in thoroughbred racing and the reputation of the Kentucky Derby.

“Given these repeated failures over the last year, including the increasingly extraordinary explanations, we firmly believe that asserting our rights to impose these measures is our duty and responsibility.”

Medina Spirit, the Florida-bred colt at the center of the latest affair, crossed the finish line first at the Kentucky Derby on May 1, but tests later showed betamethasone, a corticosteroid whose presence on race days is disqualifying per Kentucky racing rules.

The horse has not yet been formally disqualified from the Kentucky Derby, a decision that lies with the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission. A spokeswoman for that body told The Washington Post on Wednesday that it “does not provide comment or updates on the status of ongoing investigations.”

Should Medina Spirit be disqualified, he would become the second horse in the last three runnings of the Kentucky Derby to have his victory taken away. In 2019, Maximum Security crossed

ANDY LYONS/GETTY IMAGES

Trainer Bob Baffert of Medina Spirit, raises the trophy after winning the 147th running of the Kentucky Derby with Medina Spirit, his seventh career Kentucky Derby win, at Churchill Downs on May 1 in Louisville, Kentucky.

the finish line first but was disqualified after officials ruled he had improperly impeded the progress of other entries during the race.

The second-place finisher in this year’s Derby, Mandaloun, will be declared the winner if Medina Spirit is disqualified.

Baffert initially denied that Medina Spirit, who won the Derby at 12-to-1 odds, had been given betamethasone and claimed he had been “wronged” and was a victim of “cancel culture.”

He then gave varying explanations for the positive test before admitting that Medina Spirit had been given Otomax, claiming he was unaware the ointment contains betamethasone.

Per Kentucky racing rules, Medina Spirit’s owners had the right to ask for another test of the horse’s blood and urine, samples of which were taken and tested for the first time on May 1, the day of the race. The second test also revealed levels of betamethasone according to Robertson,

the attorney.

But Robertson said in an email Wednesday that other tests confirm that the presence of the betamethasone was from Otomax, an antifungal ointment used to treat a skin rash, and not an injection.

Such a distinction likely won’t matter as far as the official Kentucky Derby results, however.

Kentucky racing rules state that trainers must stop administering corticosteroids 14 days before a race, and any amount of betamethasone found in a horse’s bloodstream on race day is considered to be disqualifying.

In 2020, the Baffert-trained filly Gamine twice was disqualified after positive drug tests, the latter time for betamethasone after her third-place finish at the Kentucky Oaks in September. The first positive test, for lidocaine, came after Gamine won at Oaklawn in May 2020. Baffert initially said Gamine was “unknowingly and innocently”

exposed to lidocaine by one of his stable employees who was wearing a pain-relieving patch after breaking his pelvis.

In April, the Arkansas Racing Commission restored Gamine’s win and reduced Baffert’s 15day suspension to a $5,000 fine. During an appeal hearing, Baffert and his attorneys raised concerns about how the post-race samples were handled, saying they could have become contaminated.

But Churchill Downs, which owns numerous tracks across the country, was not swayed by Baffert’s explanations for Medina Spirit’s positive tests.

Marty Irby, executive director of Animal Wellness Action, called on Churchill Downs to take the Kentucky Derby win away from Baffert and Medina Spirit.

“The news of Medina Spirit’s second test confirmed positive is no shock. Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Derby, and the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission must stand firmly together in agreement to take the 2021 Derby title away from Bob Baffert and the horse,” Irby said Wednesday in a statement. “And we call on Churchill Downs to show no mercy and permanently ban Bob Baffert and his horses from the Kentucky Derby and all of Churchill Downs’ tracks. It’s time to end the cheating and medication abuse in the fastest two minutes in sports and an example must be made.”

Medina Spirit was allowed to race in the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown, after subsequent drug screenings came back clean; he finished third. Baffert did not attend the May 15 race in Baltimore, saying he did not want to become a “distraction.”

Baffert is one of the most successful trainers in horse racing history, with 16 Triple Crown wins entering this year’s Kentucky Derby and 17 wins at the Breeders’ Cup. But according to the records of the Association of Racing Commissioners International (ARCI), Medina Spirit’s positive test is the 30th violation from a Baffert barn over 44 years. Four of the violations have come this decade, all of them entailing drugs that are allowed during training but must clear from a horse’s system before a certain window ahead of race days.

Most of the violations resulted in small fines and brief suspensions.

Duke students and alums come to grips with Coach K’s looming departure Zachary Eanes The News & Observer

DURHAM, N.C. — News of Duke men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski’s looming retirement spread slowly across a rain-soaked Durham Wednesday afternoon, news that will close a chapter in the storied coach’s career and forever alter a key part of student life.

“That’s crazy. It’s the first I am hearing of it,” said Bing Ho, a recent 2021 Duke graduate, after a reporter told him the news.

But it didn’t take long for the potential impact of the legendary coach leaving to sink in.

The departure of Krzyzewski, one of the most illustrious head coaches in the history of college basketball, will have a profound impact on the Duke community. He is expected to retire at the end of the 2021-22 season, according to Duke.

“I mean, he encompasses all of what it means to be Duke,” Ho, 22, said. “He cared a lot about the people around him,” whether that was a basketball player or a professor of chemistry.

He also created an institution

that students could build a community around. For more than 40 years, Coach K, as he was known, created championship winning teams that students obsessed over.

Ho said his social life was structured around big basketball games. Some of his fondest memories at Duke included painting his body for games at Cameron Indoor Stadium or camping in Krzyzewskiville, the makeshift camp that forms in front of Cameron before major games, including the annual matchup against rival UNCChapel Hill.

“It was like you were missing part of the culture” of the school if you weren’t part of the Cameron Crazies that followed Coach K, Ho said.

“To all of us (Coach K) was Duke,” ESPN analyst and former Duke basketball player Jay Bilas summed up on television Wednesday. Big shoes to fill The person entrusted with maintaining that culture will be Jon Scheyer, a former Duke player and current assistant coach, The News & Observer reported.

It will be no easy feat.

GRANT HALVERSON/GETTY IMAGES

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski directs his team against Boston College during a 2019 game at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, North Carolina.

“Whoever is the next coach, I say, ‘Good luck.’ “ said Gene Devine, a former Duke football player who owns the sports bar Devine’s on Main Street in Durham.

Devine, whose bar has been a popular spot to watch Duke games since 1978, said he wasn’t shocked by the news. He thought it could have happened years earlier. And with Roy Williams retiring from UNC-Chapel Hill this spring, he said, it’s

clear the tides of college basketball are changing.

“What else was left for him to accomplish?” he asked of Krzyzewski.

When Krzyzewski leaves next year, he will be the winningest men’s basketball coach in Division I history, The N&O reported. He already has won 1,170 games since 1975, first with Army and then since he became Duke’s head coach in 1980.

That includes five national titles

for the Blue Devils.

But that doesn’t change how seismic a change Coach K’s retirement will be, Devine said.

“It’s a sad day, if you are a Duke fan,” Devine, 65, said.

“We’ve all been so fortunate that we were allowed to see Duke play at such a high level for so many years. For a lot of people, it will probably take a while to sink in.” Most important person on campus Sitting on a bench on the university’s East Campus, Kenneth McClain, who has worked in Duke housing for 17 years, said the news initially shocked him, but it made sense.

“You know, it’s not a whole lot more he can accomplish,” McClain said. “He’s put in the time.”

But Krzyzewski’s retirement will leave a big hole on campus.

“I think a lot of people, especially the big basketball fans, probably respect Coach K more than the president of the university.” McClain said, noting basketball is one of the few things that unites the student body.

“When the student comes to Duke,” he said, “they become

part of (the program).”

Being able to experience the frenzied atmosphere around Duke basketball was one of the major reasons Joey Rufo decided to go to Duke for graduate school.

Rufo, 30, originally from the Philadelphia area, is currently getting a doctorate in mechanical engineering and has split season tickets with fellow grad students for the past four years.

“Obviously it’s a great academic school, but getting to go to basketball games and having an awesome college environment definitely played a factor,” Rufo said while walking on Duke’s campus Wednesday afternoon. “I wanted to be part of that community.”

“It will be impossible” to replace him, Rufo said of Krzyzewski, though he believes Scheyer will be a good option.

Asked what a fitting end to Coach K’s reign at Duke would be, McClain said only a championship would make sense.

“That would be the utmost way to go,” he said. “I guess when you’re that good, that’s about it.”

Preusser was in a situation again in the top of the third with a runner on third and one out. He threw a wild pitch and the runner looked to score but was tagged out

by Preusser after Izac Jennings got to the ball quickly and threw it to him in time.

Jennings led off the bottom half with a single, but was thrown out at third on a double by Kobe Van Alstyne.

Van Alstyne stole third and Zach Rowe worked a walk to give the Titans another decent scoring chance, but two fly outs ended the threat and they left runners on base for the second consecutive inning.

In the bottom of the fourth, Atwood tied the game on another single, scoring Bryce Atwood. After a walk, Cody Young was brought on in relief for Catskill. After both runners advanced on a wild pitch, they scored on an errant throw to first base by the Cats defender on a ground ball. The Titans now had a 3-1 lead going into the fifth.

Gianna Helmadach, Noelle Amoroso and Giovanna Manoli all singled for CairoDurham.

Manoli was the losing pitcher, striking out one, walking

“Great team win on Senior Day (Jenna Hoffman, Alexis Tedford, Ryleigh Olsen, Mia Fleck),” Maple Hill coach Patrick Austin said. “We had a great approach at the plate — everyone swung the bats well 1-9 in our order. Kate Ackerman was a gamer today. At the plate, she had three hits and a few clutch RBI. “On the mound, she was very efficient and threw lots of strikes, got out of a few jams but never let them put together many threats. Defensively, we made a few nice plays behind her.”

Mikko Rantanen tallies OT winner, Avs take 2-0 series lead Field Level Media

Game 3 is Friday night in Las Vegas.

The Avalanche got a power play 44 seconds into overtime

Spouse removes wedding ring during separation Dear Abby, My wife and I separated three months ago.

She has moved out into her own apartment.

We are not legally separated or divorced. She removed her wedding ring three weeks after DEAR ABBY she left. I want to reconcile.

Whether she does at this point, she’s not sure. She says she isn’t seeing anyone, nor is she interested in anyone. I want to keep wearing my wedding ring, but because she’s not wearing hers, I feel like an idiot wearing mine. What is the proper etiquette for us?

Can’t Let Go

JEANNE PHILLIPS

A wedding ring indicates that the person — female or male — is unavailable for a romantic involvement. When your wife removed her ring, the message she was sending out is that her marriage is over — whether you two are officially divorced or not. Now you need to do what is comfortable for yourself. Because you want to reconcile, give her a deadline to make up her mind, and suggest marriage counseling to settle your differences.

After that, if she still isn’t interested and wants a divorce, talk to a lawyer.

Dear Abby, I live in an affluent neighborhood where a group of us get together for drinks, holidays, etc. But out of seven women in the group, only two or three are given birthday parties every year. The rest of us are never acknowledged — not even with a card.

I’m tired of going to celebrate someone else’s birthday when mine is passed over with no mention. This may seem petty, but after years

Pickles

of this, it has gotten old. I’ve thought of saying something, but I’m not sure how to express it.

Overlooked In South Carolina Is everyone in that group aware of when all of the members’ birthdays are? Because you haven’t spoken up, they may not be. I don’t think it would be poor form to pipe up at the next gettogether that “Jennifer,” “Angelina,” “Viola” and you also have birthdays coming up and when they occur. If none of them are acknowledged after that, speak up as a group and say humorously that your feelings are hurt. However, if still no effort is made, the four or five of you should consider celebrating your birthdays separately.

Dear Abby, In the last few years, a good friend has grown increasingly radical in his political views, which caused a severe rupture in our friendship. I am still hurt by what transpired because it turned personal at one point.

My friend has now written an apology for his extremism and asked for my forgiveness. I can’t help but wonder whether, if the political climate hadn’t changed, he would be apologizing now. How do I forgive my friend, and perhaps open a path to a renewed friendship, while I still feel this way?

Nervous About This In New York You can (possibly) manage it by concentrating on the positive aspects of the relationship you shared rather than dwelling on the pain of the rupture. It can be done. It’s called selective memory.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are not one to trust yourself to the hands of fate, and you will always want to take a controlling interest in your own life and the lives of those around you — for the obvious reason that you want to ensure that things turn out to your liking! Is that really entirely possible, however? Indeed, that’s the question you’ll be asking — and answering — throughout your entire life, as your eagerness to call the shots and shape your destiny conflicts on numerous occasions with what the stars have in store for you.

You may go through alternating periods in which you are first wholly appreciated for all you are and do, and then roundly misunderstood because of behavior that doesn’t seem to fit any sort of conventional mold.

Also born on this date are: Angelina Jolie, actress; Russell Brand, actor; Noah Wyle, actor; Bruce Dern, actor; El DeBarge, singer; Dennis Weaver, actor; Parker Stevenson, actor; Scott Wolfe, actor.

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

SATURDAY, JUNE 5 GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You may have to pick up the pace today as you work your way toward an important personal goal. You don’t want anyone else to overtake you!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You may be surprised by a friend’s response to something you’ve done that you waited a long time to do.

What is it that you’re not getting?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You may find yourself becoming jealous of a friend over something you have no control over. This is a waste of time and

energy, to be sure!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Drop some coins in the wishing well if you want to give yourself over to “luck” — but what you should do is put a new plan into motion!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Now is no time for you to shrink from responsibility. What you accomplish today will be more important than you think — and possibly permanent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You’ll be tested in more than one way today, but you have what it takes to acquit yourself well, even if you’re given little time to prepare.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today you can get all the information that’s available to you and then some, but only if you’re willing to step out of your own comfort zone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Things don’t seem to “add up” today the way you had expected them to — and there’s good reason for you to mount an investigation!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You may have to look at things from all angles today before you understand first, how they are connected, and second, how they affect you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Someone brings you out of yourself in a way today, but you must take care not to reveal too much too soon.

Consider all your options.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You have good reason to keep certain things to yourself today — and to get closer to those who have promised not to expose you in any way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may have to work harder than usual today to accomplish things that are actually quite routine. Priorities may become somewhat scrambled.

There is a defensive play in bridge known as a “wake-up call.” It is an unusual play intended to “wake up” partner to the fact that an unusual play is required. We offer a couple of examples today.

On this deal, it is imperative for West to switch to a diamond at trick two to defeat the contract, and there is absolutely no reason for West to find this switch. East should play the queen of clubs

Opening lead: 10 of ♣ West leads a club, hoping to give nothing away. South plays spade to the ace and a spade to West, who sees little hope. West cashes the ace of hearts and is surprised to see East follow with the king. West “wakes up” and reverts to clubs, giving East a ruff. The ace of diamonds is still to come for down one.
