Police are looking for a Kingston man who allegedly failed to appear in court to answer charges in a Cairo rape case.

Luis D. Fernandez

CATSKILL — State police in Catskill are asking for the public’s assistance in finding an Ulster County man who allegedly failed to appear in court to answer rape charges, Steven Nevel, public information officer for state police Troop F, said Friday.

Luis D. Fernandez, 46, of Kingston is accused of having sexual intercourse with a minor under 15 years of age in Cairo, Nevel said.

Fernandez failed to appear

in Greene County Court after he was released on bail and is wanted on multiple charges including predatory sexual assault against a child, a class A felony, first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, a class B felony, and four counts of first-degree rape, a class B felony, Nevel said.

Authorities believe Fernandez may be attempting to flee to Puerto Rico, Nevel said.

Fernandez is also wanted by the Greene County Sheriff’s Office.

Police did not disclose the

relationship between Fernandez and the alleged victim.

Fernandez man was held on rape charges in Greene County following his arrest by state police last Aug. 3.

The arrest followed a fourmonth-long investigation into a reported sexual assault.

Fernandez was arraigned in Cairo Town Court last August and was taken to the Greene County Jail, where he was held on $10,000 bail.

Molinaro assails bail reform on Blue Friday

CATSKILL — Republican congressional candidate and Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro joined local Greene County officials at the Lacy Ford dealership Friday morning to honor fallen officers in the annual Blue Friday observance.

Molinaro, who is challenging U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-Rhinebeck, this November, visited Catskill to shine the spotlight on bail reform and potential changes to the bail package signed into law in New York in 2019.

The legislation mandated

pretrial release for suspects without cash bail for most misdemeanor charges and nonviolent felonies in the state.

“It has never been more challenging to be in law enforcement than it is today,” Molinaro said Friday. “Showing that support on behalf of those men and women who make the ultimate sacrifice is always important.

Today in New York, we’re living in a much less safe community because of policies out of Albany and endorsed by Washington that have made us less safe.

So I think it’s important that the community understands that See MOLINARO A2

Accused drug dealer pleads guilty to charges

By Ted Remsnyder Columbia-Greene Media

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

CATSKILL — A planned trial in Greene County Court for an alleged drug dealer this week was forestalled when the suspect pleadedd guilty to all charges against him.

James Faulkner, 52, whose last address was given as Columbia County, was arrested in October 2019 in room 12A of Pollace’s Resort on Landon Avenue in Catskill and charged with 13 felony and misdemeanor counts tied to selling drugs in the county.

The Catskill resort has since been shuttered. Greene County District Attorney Joseph Stanzione said Faulkner’s case was delayed by the pandemic and that the suspect had been in and out of the hospital in recent years due to medical issues.

The district attorney noted that Faulkner did not have a permanent residence and was most recently residing in a Columbia County hotel as he awaited trial. Stanzione said jury selection for Faulkner’s scheduled trial had taken place before Faulkner opted

James Faulkner was arrested in October 2019 at Pollace’s Resort on Landon Avenue in Catskill for drug charges.

child less than 13 years old.

New York Penal Law defines first-degree rape as engaging in sexual intercourse with another person by forcible compulsion, or who is incapable of consent by reason of being physically helpless, or who is less than 11 years old, or who is less than 13 years old and the actor is eighteen years old or more.

“This is definitely a positive outcome to save a lot of time and expense,” Stanzione said of avoiding trial. “I think he (Faulkner) came to the realization that we were committed to prosecuting this case.”

Faulkner will be sentenced at a date to be determined, with Stanzione noting that the sentencing hearing will likely be held in July.

Facing a maximum sentence of 12 years in state

prison, Faulkner has been released while he awaits his sentencing since court deputies would need to be stationed outside his hospital room during one of his intermittent stints in the hospital.

and we continue to speak for the kinds of reforms that provide for public safety.”

Molinaro said that if elected he can help craft federal laws that could benefit the local police community.

“Antonio Delgado supports cashless bail in New York,” Molinaro said. “There’s been an effort to nationalize this policy

by Washington, D.C. That’s a mistake. Cashless is failing law enforcement and victims and it’s failing our community. But it’s also failing those individuals who are caught up in the criminal justice system because it’s eliminated our ability to intervene with mental health and substance use services before severe crimes are committed.

“That is undermining our public safety and the well-being of the individual. As a member of Congress, you can use your voice to at least advocate for state and local policies that keep us safe. There is no limit to the ability of a Congressman to be an advocate on behalf of the people she or he represents. I’m going to use those tools to advocate for smart policies that keep us safe.”

In 2004, Albany police officer Pat Fox proposed the creation of a local chapter of the National Concerns of Police Survivors.

Congressional candidate Marc Molinaro, J.C. Berzal of Lacy’s Ford dealership, Blue Friday NY President Pat Fox, Greene County Sheriff Pete Kusminsky and Assemblyman Chris Tague on April 29 at a Blue Friday event in Catskill.

The 18th annual Blue Friday was held Friday to honor all law enforcement officers who have given their lives in the line of duty.

Blue Friday New York has partnered with Lacy’s Ford, Ninety Nine Restaurants and Albany radio station WGNA for the group’s fundraising efforts.

“We assist the families of police officers killed in the line of duty,” Blue Friday NY President Pat Fox said on Friday. “Each year we do this annual event the last Friday of April and the New York State Senate honors us by doing a proclamation and the money raised helps take the families of the officers killed in the line of duty to Washington,

D.C. on May 15 each year when their names are unveiled on the (National Law Enforcement) Memorial.”

The State Senate issued a resolution on Friday recognizing April 29 as Blue Friday.

State Senate candidate Richard Amedure attended Friday’s event and called for reform to the new bail system in the state.

“Probably the most crucial issue we’re facing in New York State right now is the bail and discovery reform laws that are making everyone less safe,” Amedure said. “I was a trooper in this county for 30 years, so I’m acutely aware of the situation and the needs. The police are supported by the people, even if

the government is not supporting them. That’s why I’m running. I’m running to help turn these laws around for the people of New York.”

Lacy’s Ford Manager Jared Giordiano said the dealership was pleased to host the Blue Friday event celebrating local law enforcement.

“We’ve been doing this now for five or six years,” he said.

“It’s a great cause for the first responders and the families of the fallen. We just feel it’s a great cause.”

Assemblyman Chris Tague, R-Schoharie, contended that the amendments to the state budget process allowing more discretion for judges do not go far enough to address the issues with the current bail system.

“People are very concerned and they’re starting to find out that the measures that were put forth in the budget really aren’t even a Band-Aid,” he said. “You see in the newspapers every day where repeat criminals are let out. I think we all agreed that some sort of reform was needed.

People were being left in jail that couldn’t afford bail for petty crimes and they shouldn’t be there. I think we all agree with that.

“The problem is that the way they did this law, it pretty much lets anybody out and there’s not a danger issue where the judge can look at somebody’s history and the crimes that they’ve committed when they’re making a decision in court.”

A second member of the extremist group Oath Keepers pleaded guilty Friday to seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and will cooperate with federal prosecutors to avoid a possible multiyear prison term.

Brian Ulrich, 44, of Guyton, Ga., was arrested in August on charges of joining a group of right-wing Oath Keepers members who planned and organized travel to Washington, stashed firearms in an Arlington, Va. hotel, then sent several individuals with tactical gear, helmets and radios into the Capitol. The group’s leader, Stewart Rhodes, was arrested in January and charged with seditious conspiracy in a superseding indictment with Ulrich and nine others accused of plotting to impede President Joe Biden’s January 2021 inauguration by force.

Ulrich pleaded guilty to two of five felony counts, seditious conspiracy and obstructing an official proceeding (Congress’s certification of the 2020 election results on Jan. 6). Each count is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

Prosecutors agreed in a plea deal to drop the three other counts - conspiring to prevent

an officer from discharging his or her duties, aiding and abetting, and evidence tampering.

Prosecutors could also request leniency for Ulrich, who otherwise could face 63 to 78 months in prison under federal guidelines.

Ulrich admitted agreeing to a plan with Rhodes to stop the peaceful transfer of power by force and to attempting to influence or affect and to retaliate against the conduct of the U.S. government. Rhodes has pleaded not guilty.

At a plea hearing held by videoconference, Ulrich briefly grew emotional as U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta read the penalties aloud but declined when the judge asked if he needed a short break.

“No your honor. ... It’s only going to get harder,” Ulrich said.

Ulrich was recorded in Washington providing security to longtime Donald Trump political adviser Roger Stone in January 2021. Ulrich is the third bodyguard who was seen with Stone on Jan. 5 or 6 to plead guilty in the Capitol rioting and the second in the seditious conspiracy case to do so.

One of them, Joshua James, 34, of Arab, Ala., became the first to plead guilty on March 2 to seditious conspiracy. The Army veteran who was injured in Iraq

agreed to cooperate in hopes of reducing a recommended sentence of 87 to 108 months in prison.

The other, Mark Grods, earlier admitted in a plea deal that he traveled to the D.C. area from Alabama with two guns and joined fellow members in the Capitol riot.

Stone has denied involvement in the riot, calling any claim or implication that he knew about or condoned illegal acts at the Capitol as “categorically false.”

In charging papers, U.S. prosecutors alleged that Ulrich participated in an encrypted Signal planning chat with other members and discussed bringing firearms including an AR-15 style rifle and ammunition.

“I will be the guy running around with the budget AR,” he wrote, according to the indictment.

“The more patriots the merrier ‘gonna be wild,’” Ulrich said, referring to Trump’s Dec.

GlaxoSmithKline keeps solar site under wraps

By Maura Rosner Columbia Greene Media

EAST DURHAM — GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Health Care is located in East Durham, but its large solar power generator field was built 90 miles away from the plant that produces toothpaste and other goods for the United States and Canadian markets, a company spokeswoman said Friday.

Little is known about the GSK Consumer Healthcare site. Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said Thursday he does not believe it

was constructed in Greene County.

While the manufacturing plant, formerly known as Stiefel Laboratories and a leading producer of soap products, is located in Greene County, the 17,000-panel solar array with an estimated electricity generation capacity of 6.9 megawatts is located 90 miles away in an undisclosed location in the Catskill Mountains. The Oak Hill site on Friday did not allow access to its East Durham location.

“The solar site is 90 miles away from GlaxoSmithKline’s East Durham location, but still within New York state,” said Sarah Miller, a

spokeswoman for GlaxoSmithKline.

GlaxoSmithKline and Ameresco held an internal ribbon cutting earlier this week to open the new installation.

The main facility on Route 145 manufactures the oral health care Sensodyne, Pronamel and Paradontax. The company announced the solar project had been completed Wednesday in partnership with Ameresco, a leading renewable and energy efficiency company based in Framingham, Massachusetts.

According to a statement from the company, “In addition, at Oak Hill in New York, a major manufacturing

facility in GSK’s Consumer Healthcare network, GSK is confirming today that through new investment in solar energy production, it will achieve the landmark of converting 70% of power consumption to solar energy by the end of 2021.”

The solar farm for the GSK Consumer Healthcare site in East Durham is the 12th in which the company has made investments. The project will enable the GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Health Care site in Oak Hill to reduce its carbon emissions.

March to honor missing and murdered indigenous women

By Noah Eckstein Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — A march and day of awareness for missing and murdered indigenous people will take place in Hudson on May 6.

The event will begin at the Henry Hudson Riverfront Park at 5:30 p.m. and conclude at Hudson City Hall about 7 p.m. Remarks and chants will be uttered for the purpose of raising awareness for the indigenous people who go missing and who are murdered each year.

The march is sponsored

by Forge Project, a private native-led private art, culture and decolonial education initiative in partnership with RISE: Radical Indigenous Survivance and Empowerment, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the education, dissemination and evolution of indigenous culture.

“Our role at Forge is to raise awareness across the

United States creating an understanding that this part of the Hudson Valley has been a place of displacement of natives,” said Candice Hopkins, executive director of the Forge Project.

On March 7, the Hudson Common Council designated May 5 as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Hudson. Heather Bruegel, former director of Education at the Forge Project, brought the resolution to the Common Council.

“New York state is not immune to the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous persons, either,” Hopkins said. Hopkins was born in Whitehorse, Canada, near the Highway of Tears, a 450-mile stretch of Highway 16 that is the location of many missing and murdered indigenous women.

Indigenous women and girls are murdered at a rate

10 times higher than other ethnicities, according to Native Women’s Wilderness, a group that supports indigenous women.

Many tribal nations consider the kidnapping and murder of indigenous people an epidemic, with some even considering it to be a form of genocide. Forge Project believes that missing and murdered indigenous persons is rooted in the systemic belief that indigenous women are not valued in a predominantly white colonial society, and therefore can easily be disposed of or exterminated with little media attention.

In a country built on the forced displacement of native peoples from their homelands in order to exploit that land for profit and growth of European conquest, the murder of Indigenous women often goes unnoticed by mainstream culture throughout history. This is why the Forge Project is committed to

raising awareness of missing and murdered indigenous persons.

There are no longer dedicated Native American reservations in the Hudson Valley.

Though, the Catskill mountains area is the unceded territory of the Mohican tribe, known as the Muh-he-conne-ok. Their name means “the people of the water that never stills,” reflecting the reverence they had for the Hudson River. The Mohican

OUR VIEW

Civility and conduct unbecoming Once in a while, small rural governments must complete a task that stretches far beyond town lines and reaches into the national fabric.

Case in point: The Ancram Town Board had to investigate allegations of genderbased discrimination and “disrespectful behavior.” A report on the investigation, headed by attorney Elena DeFio Kean, made public this week concluded no violations of laws or ethics were committed.

However, the report also contained recommendations for potential improvement of conduct at town meetings and consideration of policies to achieve that improvement.

We think Ancram officials handled this difficult situation fairly and admirably.

However, a general pattern of uncivil behavior emerged.

That seems to be the case.

Town Supervisor Art Bassin said a code of conduct is in

the drafting stage and the board is working on a policy statement.

The investigation, which began Feb. 12, was keyed by comments made by Jack Lindsey, chairman of the Ancram Ethics Board in January, about allegations of disrespectful behavior toward women. Lindsey spoke as a private citizen, not in his official capacity, he said, because no formal complaints of ethical violations were filed.

For a small town, the investigation appeared to be thorough. It included interviews with 20 town employees, elected town officials and volunteers for town committees. Town board memos, draft resolutions, a potential code of conduct, the town handbook, the town code of ethics and relevant emails were reviewed.

Kean said this week many of the allegations raised by Lindsey had to do with in-

cidents that occurred more than 10 years ago.

“However,” Kean added, “the investigation did reveal, and exposed quite frankly, a perceived theme of dismissal and disrespective treatment towards women by many of the women who were interviewed. Not all, but there was a theme of many feeling that way.”

The job of investigations like this is neither to absolve the elected officials of responsibility nor smear them nor tear them down. Reckoning and solving the problem so such incidents don’t happen again is the job.

Lindsey did a brave and valuable service by going public with these allegations.

The town board did the right thing by assigning the task of investigating the allegations to Kean. The next step is to bring civility back to Ancram Town Hall.

board or other high-quality local authorizer is in the best position to weigh community support, not distant bureaucrats.

The community impact rules would also require schools to demonstrate their intent to have a culturally diverse student body and staff - a noble goal, but one that makes it difficult for schools that focus on an underrepresented population to get funding, especially when they are geographically isolated or serve indigenous populations. Consider Kwiyagat Community Academy, a public charter school in Towaoc, Colo. Founded last year by the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, it teaches a new generation a culture and language infamously repressed by previous schools run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

However, under these new rules, the Education Department would disqualify a culturally-affirming school such as Kwiyagat from participating in the grant program, simply because of the mission of their school.

Another proposed regulation would require states to prioritize charter applicants that can find a school district to “partner” with them. This is ill-advised: A district could disadvantage a proposed charter school by refusing partnership - even though charters are often most needed in districts with a history of failed cooperation with new innovative models.

Jared Polis is the governor of Colorado.

Mike Pompeo ponders entering the presidential marathon WASHINGTON — Mike Pompeo, who has been a soldier, businessman, congressman, CIA director and secretary of state, says he thinks that ever since he was a 17-year-old assistant manager of a Baskin-Robbins store in Orange County, Calif., he has improved the cultures almost everywhere he worked.

Almost.

Not, however, at the State Department. Concerning it, his opinion is similar to that of the wit who said the State Department is like tundra — anything you could do to it would improve it. But, then, no Republican ever annoyed the party’s base by disparaging State.

From a California childhood, Pompeo went to West Point, where he finished first in his class. He left the Army a captain, having been a tank commander along the East German border. At Harvard Law School, he served on the Law Review with a student one year behind him, Ted Cruz. After a stint with a premier Washington law firm, Williams & Connolly, in 1996 he moved to Kansas to start a business, Thayer Aerospace.

He became a Republican national committeeman, then won the first of four congressional terms in 2010, before being sent by President Donald Trump first to Langley, then Foggy Bottom.

Pompeo is exploring a presidential candidacy in the orthodox way, campaigning for Republican candidates hither and yon, falling in love with Iowa’s vistas and Iowans’ wisdom, etc. Recently, Pompeo was in Pennsylvania campaigning for his West Point contemporary, David McCormick, a hedge-fund titan seeking the Republicans’ Senate nomination. Pompeo’s argument for himself is that he has had presidentially germane government experience within institutions critical to coping with a world growing more dangerous.

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL Pompeo’s selection as CIA director was somewhat accidental, the result of Trump’s slapdash approach to everything. During the 2016 Republican nomination competition, at the Kansas caucuses in Wichita, Pompeo spoke for Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, with Trump listening backstage. Trump reached a rolling boil when Pompeo cited Trump’s claim that if, as president, he ordered a soldier to commit a war crime, the soldier would do it. Pompeo said Trump would be an “authoritarian president who ignored our Constitution.”

Eight months later, eight days after the election, at Trump Tower in New York, Pompeo met Trump for the first time and accepted the CIA job, which Trump offered to someone he barely knew because Vice President-elect Mike Pence urged him to.

Tim Alberta, an impeccable reporter, writes in his book “American Carnage” that when Trump was told he had just bestowed a plum position on the congressman who had committed the Wichita sacrilege, Trump exploded: “No! That was him? We’ve got to take it back. This is what I get for letting Pence pick everyone!”

Ah, well. The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

Trump’s plentiful anger found new targets, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. (Thou shalt not call the president, at whose pleasure you serve, a “[expletive] moron.”) So, Pompeo can now

try to become the first former secretary of state since James Buchanan 165 years ago to become president.

Pompeo might be a president with some surprising depths: He named Peter Berkowitz, a distinguished political philosopher with a Yale PhD, director of the State Department’s Policy Planning Staff, whose first two directors were extraordinary architects of the post-1945 world: George Kennan (19471949) and Paul Nitze (19501953). It took an interesting secretary to pick Berkowitz, the author of, among other books, “Nietzsche: The Ethics of an Immoralist.”

When preparing to run a marathon, you get in trim.

Pompeo has shed 90 pounds — nearly a third of his weight.

He is almost svelte and altogether convinced that many Republican presidential aspirants will enter the nomination scramble before Trump answers this question: Dare I risk running another campaign that might end with mere arithmetic — vote sums — being construed as evidence that I lost?

As Pompeo leaves a breakfast where his hearty appetite for scrambled eggs and chicken sausage indicated that he is happy with his current configuration, he is enveloped by his security detail.

This is not an entitlement for a former director of the CIA; it is a necessity. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has agents in the United States, says he wants to kill Pompeo, whom the ayatollah blames for the Jan. 3, 2020, U.S. drone strike that killed Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the terrorist who was an Iranian national hero. In Republican primaries, campaigning with a target placed on your back by Iran is an unfair advantage.

An ode to dandelions

By Dick Brooks For Columbia-Greene Media

Telly, my trusty canine companion and I paused from our morning duties during our usual tour of the yard to appreciate the warm sunshine and the verdant yard. The gardens are starting to show color but it was the lawn that caused the pause. The lush dark green of the crabgrass sprinkled with spring gold was breathtaking.

I have always considered myself a protector of the weak and helpless, a champion of the underdog, a guardian of the downtrodden. I even voted for Ross Perot once. As such I feel that I must speak out against the mass mayhem taking place all across our country.

Armies of horticulturalists and gardeners are waging their annual war against the dandelion. Their arsenal is extensive, grass whips for decapitation, claws for gouging them from the ground, poison sprays, there is even a version of flame thrower you can order to fry these poor little plants where they grow. If you don’t want to do the dirty work yourself, for a second mortgage and your first born child, you can hire a company of hit men to come in and cover your yard with a chemical soup to kill them off mass destruction style.

I can’t understand this outpouring of disgust, dislike, disdain and even hate. I blame it partly on The Home and Garden Channel and their shows extolling the virtues of

WHITTLING AWAY

DICK

BROOKS the ideal lawn devoid of all but perfectly trimmed and manicured Kentucky blue grass.

Illegal immigrants such as crabgrass and the maligned dandelion are to be eliminated leaving that astro-turf perfection that they desire. What, I ask, has a dandelion ever done to you or yours? I think they’re pretty, their little golden fuzzy faces glowing all over the place brighten our day. They are one of the very first wild flowers to help relieve us of the winter doldrums. They grow anywhere and require no care at all. They certainly are prolific, turning lawns and open fields into carpets of gold. The more untended the property, the harder they try to beautify it.

They are one of the first flowers that children learn they can pick with impunity. Is there a parent, grandparent or teacher who has no memories of a pudgy little fist full of wilted dandelions being offered with love? The dried head full of little parachutes, each carrying its own seed, kept me busy for hours, puffing until I

hyperventilated and filling the air full of flying fluff. I think the first time I really paid attention to girls was when I was snapping dandelion heads at them on the playground. Later on, one special one taught me how to make chains which we wore in our hair as we listened to folk music in the park.

They are edible, the tender young leaves are a great addition to a salad. The roots were used as a medicine by our ancestors and one of the finest adult beverages I’ve ever tasted was the dandelion wine my Father made from their blossoms.

All in all, a pretty, useful little memory maker. I can’t understand the waging of war against them. Go pick on Poison Ivy and appreciate the sunny little dandelion.

I’m sure if you went to a spot on this old dirt ball we live on where dandelions don’t grow (although I can’t think of a place right off hand), you could probably find people buying flats of them in their local nursery. We’re lucky enough to get all we want for nothing!

Thought for the week — My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you’ll be happy; if not, you’ll become a philosopher. — Socrates Until next week, may you and yours be happy and well.

No mow May: A conservation idea for lawns

By Bob Beyfuss For Columbia-Greene Media

As we enter the lawnmowing season, in earnest, this month, our thoughts are mixed about this time honored activity. A reader recently told me about an idea that may be of interest to some of you. I guess it would be best described as a “conservation practice” that is intended to encourage and increase the population of pollinating insects, by allowing grassy plants and non-grass plants that are growing in your lawn to flower and go to seed.

I have observed that for some people, particularly some weekend or seasonal residents, having and maintaining a large lawn is one of main reasons why they own property here. City dwellers, living in apartments, surrounded by other people, also confined by concrete, often long for open space to enjoy. I know of several people whose greatest joy is driving upstate from New Jersey, each weekend, solely to ride their garden tractor and mow acres of grass.

Lawns evolved partially as a way to improve one’s view of surrounding areas, in order to better watch out for predators, or the bad guys, who may be about to attack at any moment. Lawns also served as “commons” where people could gather to exchange goods, socialize and play.

It’s pretty much impossible to play baseball, football, soccer, tennis, rugby, cricket or many other sports in a forest.

Perhaps the highest evolution of lawns as play areas is exemplified by golf. Golf fairways, roughs, and especially greens are among the most intensely maintained places where plants are intentionally grown, for any purpose. I am not a golfer myself, but I do appreciate the aesthetic appeal of well-maintained golf courses. Greene County has

GARDENING TIPS

BOB

BEYFUSS at least seven golf courses and these recreational businesses certainly contribute to our economy.

But for many people, including myself, mowing the lawn is not fun at all! I wish I could convert my entire lawn to the low growing wild thyme that occupies only a small portion of it right now. I love the smell of the thyme as well as its pretty pink flowers and it never needs to be mowed!

I have been unable to get it to spread despite my best efforts to kill the grass nearby.

It is quickly outcompeted by dandelions and other plants that I consider as weeds. I will also admit that I like the smell of a freshly mowed lawn and the uniform neatness of the mowed area is appealing to my German nature. Some suburban communities may require residents to maintain a lawn whether they want to or not. Such is the price some people choose to pay for living in suburbia!

Grass plants react to being mowed by growing new shoots. Their growing point is located at the base of the shoot and cutting off the top of the blade does them no harm. This give them a distinct advantage over non grass plants that have their growing points at the top of the plant. When newly arrived city dwellers asked me how they could cultivate a large lawn, from the fields surrounding them, my advice was simple. Just mow it.

Allowing grasses to grow and produce seed may not immediately provide a sequence of lovely wildflowers, as some people may envision.

Grass flowers, in general, are not all that exciting to look at.

At least not at first, but eventually, broad leaved plants will replace the grasses and produce some interesting flowers. These flowers will also produce pollen and provide food and habitat for pollinating insects, which, by most accounts, are declining drastically in recent years.

Hence, conservation of a valuable natural resource is a positive ecological service that you can perform by doing nothing!

This May, I suggest you try to refrain from mowing at least some of your lawn just to see what happens. There are some potential downsides to this experiment, from scowling neighbors who disapprove of the appearance, to possibly allowing some nasty, invasive plants, such as Japanese stilt grass, to proliferate and spread. I have no idea if allowing plants to flower will increase allergies in sensitive people. Tall weeds are also far more conducive to harboring deer ticks, as well as pollinators. Mowed lawns harbor no deer ticks whatsoever. You might consider “event mowing” in which you mow only a few times each season, thus preventing the lawn from reverting to brush, to trees, eventually.

If you decide to participate in “no mow May” at any level, I would like to hear from you about your experience. There is no question that refraining from using lawn fertilizers, weed killers, soil insecticides and other lawn care chemicals is a good idea in general from an environmental perspective.

U.S. soldiers took her birthday cake in 1945.

They finally replaced it.

Jaclyn Peiser The Washington Post

Gunshots boomed, rain poured and thunder crashed as Meri Mion and her mother huddled in the attic on their farm in northern Italy. It was April 28, 1945, and the Germans were retreating as U.S. soldiers pushed into the nearby city of Vicenza, northwest of Venice.

Mion emerged from the hiding spot the following morning to find the strident sounds of war replaced with the sweet smell of cake. It was her 13th birthday, and American soldiers were parading through her village of San Pietro in Gu, collecting bread and wine from grateful locals.

Mion’s mother retrieved the steaming cake from the oven and placed it on the windowsill to cool. But by the time Mion planned to taste the dessert, it was gone. American soldiers had already eaten it, an Army news release said.

On Thursday, as Mion

prepared to celebrate her 90th birthday, U.S. soldiers based in Italy “returned” the birthday cake, according to Army officials.

Locals, soldiers, police and veterans from the United States and Italy watched as Sgt. Peter Wallis and Col. Matthew Gomlak, the commander of U.S. Army Garrison Italy, presented the guest of honor with a large white cake adorned with a chocolate shell filled with fruits and mini meringue cookies.

“Buon 90 compleanno,” the icing on the cake read - “Happy 90th birthday.”

Wearing a navy floral dress and blazer, Mion received the cake with a warm smile and open arms. She said she planned to take it home and share it with her family on Friday, her 90th birthday.

“Tomorrow, I will eat that dessert with all my family remembering this wonderful day that I will never forget,” Mion said.

Coyote attacks, seriously injures girl in Huntington Beach Nathan Solis Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — A young girl was attacked by a coyote in Huntington Beach on Thursday night, according to authorities.

The girl was taken to a local hospital

with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Huntington Beach Police Department. The victim was not identified because she is a minor.

The attack occurred north of the pier about 9:45 p.m., police said.

Police are working with the California Department of Fish and Game to track and euthanize the coyote involved in the attack. Authorities have also stepped up their trapping efforts in recent weeks as animals seek water amid a continuing drought.

Angry Birds mobile games maker’s stock takes flight on strong earnings beat Kati Pohjanpalo Bloomberg

The maker of the Angry Birds mobile games, Rovio Entertainment, soared the most on record on Friday after saying strong sales growth in the first quarter would continue for the remainder of the year.

Shares rose as much as 21.5% in Helsinki, the most since the game developer’s 2017 initial public offering, amid heavy trading volume.

The company’s revenue rose 27% to 85 million euros ($90 million), topping estimates.

Adjusted operating profit came in at 10 million euros, more than twice the average analyst projection.

“Rovio had a huge earnings beat in the first quarter,” analyst Atte Riikola at Inderes Oy, said in a note, adding he expects Rovio to invest less in growth and still reach its “strong earnings outlook.”

“This is reflected on the bottom line with force and puts upward pressure on our earnings estimates,” he said.

Two of Rovio’s staple games had their best quarters

in years. The biggest game, Angry Birds 2, had gross bookings of 30.3 million euros, the most since early 2019, while Angry Birds Friends generated the most revenue since late 2016. Angry Birds

Journey, launched in January, brought in 10.1 million euros in gross bookings. Rovio also said its games have now been downloaded more than 5 billion times.

Some of the sales growth

came as a result of record spending on marketing, with user acquisition investments rising to more than 31 million euros, equivalent to more than a third of the Games unit’s revenue.

Russia appears several days behind schedule in new assault on Donbas, Pentagon says Dan Lamothe, Timothy Bella and David Stern The Washington Post

Russian forces appear to be “at least several days behind where they wanted to be” in their new assault on the Donbas region of Ukraine, the Pentagon said Friday, citing Russia’s incremental progress and strong Ukrainian resistance.

The assessment comes after Russia abandoned its earlier goals in the invasion to capture the capital city of Kyiv and other major Ukrainian population centers, focusing instead on a section of eastern Ukraine where fighting has been going on for years.

Russia has relied on airstrikes, followed by artillery strikes, before moving its ground forces forward but has still faced stiff Ukrainian defenses, a senior U.S. defense official said Friday, speaking on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the Pentagon.

Russia’s “incremental” gains are south of the town of Izyum, the official said, with ground movements that are “fairly plodding.”

In Mariupol, Ukrainian officials are waiting to see whether there will be an evacuation of the Azovstal steel plant. A Mariupol official said Friday that the area remains “under tank fire” from Russian troops.

Mykhailo Vershynin, the chief of the Donetsk region patrol police, told The Washington Post that the area surrounding the Azovstal field hospital is still being bombarded at a time when officials have called for a planned evacuation from the steel plant in the besieged port city.

The area is reeling after another significant air raid by Russian Tu-22M3 bombers, he said.

“Right now, we are under tank fire,” Vershynin said, adding that Ukrainian forces are facing more naval artillery fire Friday.

“We don’t have a cease-fire.”

The strikes follow “unprecedented” air attacks at a time when Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of preventing civilians trapped in the Azovstal plant from leaving.

Vershynin said a shortage of food and water “has long been critical for us, for civilians, and for the wounded.”

“There is a serious shortage of this, as well as of medicines, as well as of surgical instruments,” he said.

Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko said in a news release that more than 600 people have been injured in the airstrikes at the hospital.

Boychenko claimed that the more than 20,000 people reported to have died in Mariupol since the start of a fullscale Russian offensive there was “more than during the two years of the Nazi occupation during World War II.” Vershynin emphasized to The Post that the hundreds of wounded Ukrainians, many of whom can hardly walk or need to be carried, had to be evacuated.

“We are ready to leave the territory of the Azovstal plant,” he said. “But this

requires guarantees.”

Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary General António Guterres said Friday he was touched by the “resilience and bravery” of the Ukrainian people more than two months into the Russian invasion.

Guterres, who met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Thursday, tweeted photos of his time touring decimated buildings around the capital.

“I was moved by the resilience and bravery of the people of Ukraine,” he wrote. “My message to them is simple: We will not give up.”

Five Russian missiles rocked the capital during Guterres’s visit, according to Ukrainian officials. Russia on Friday confirmed it struck the city, saying it had destroyed an arms factory.

Other buildings were also reportedly hit.

Guterres, who on Thursday said the war in Ukraine was “evil,” vowed that the United Nations would “redouble its efforts to save lives and reduce human suffering.”

“In this war, as in all wars,

In Loving Memory of

the civilians always pay the highest price,” he tweeted Friday.

HUDSON — The Hudson Bluehawks won their Patroon Conference softball match-up at home Thursday, 13-12, over the Coxsackie-Athens Riverhawks.

Each offense was boosted by the long ball on a constantly windy afternoon in Hudson.

The Bluehawks scored the winning run on a ground ball off the bat of Gabby Logue past the shortstop and were victorious 13-12 in the bottom of the seventh in walk-off fashion.

Olivia Plaia started on the mound for Hudson and issued a walk to Riverhawks leadoff hitter Julia Grounds. With two outs, Natalee Farrand ripped one into the outfield for an RBI triple and gave the visiting Riverhawks a 1-0 lead.

In the bottom half of the first, Alyssa Harp led off with a double off of Coxsackie-Athens pitcher Farrand. After Logue struck out on a dropped third strike, Harp advanced to third base on the throw to first.

Lily Kritzman hit a ground ball to short and the throw was

Plaia struck out Lauren Winegard and Patience DeRose to begin the second inning, but

Abigail O’Dell hit back-to-back singles to keep the inning alive.

Then Kasey Purdy was hit by a pitch to load the bases for the Riverhawks. O’Dell scored on a wild pitch, and Riley Sitcer followed it up with a three run shot over the fence in center field to widen the lead to 5-1 for Coxsackie-Athens.

Plaia reached base safely to lead off the bottom of the second and moved into scoring position by the time the second out was made. Alyssa Harp grounded one between first and second and after both defenders overcommitted, no one covered the bag and a run scored as Harp was safe at first.

With a 5-2 lead, the Riverhawks looked to pile on in the third. With runners on the corners and two outs, O’Dell poked a two run single over the second baseman to extend the lead to 7-2.

Grounds hit a single for Coxsackie-Athens to continue the inning, but Purdy struck out to end the top half of the third.

NFL draft winners and loser: Rare ‘W’ for Lions Pat Yasinskas Field Level Media

The NFL is a copycat league in which teams borrow or flat-out steal concepts that have worked out well for other teams.

That never was more evident than on Thursday in the first round of NFL Draft.

Some teams followed the

new-age model the Los Angeles Rams used to win a Super Bowl last season. The Rams threw conventional wisdom to the wind as general manager Les Snead followed a win-now approach and gave away most of his draft currency.

Giants decline QB Daniel Jones’ fifth-year option Pat Leonard New York Daily News

NEW YORK — Daniel Jones has one more season at most -- and only one -- to prove he’s the Giants’ quarterback of the future.

As expected, GM Joe Schoen decided on Thursday that he will not pick up the fifth-year option on Jones’ rookie contract as a former first-round pick, a source confirmed.

Leaking that decision only hours before Thursday night’s NFL draft first round served as a reminder that the Giants are far from set at the sport’s most important position.

Picking up Jones’ option would have guaranteed him a $22.384 million salary for the 2023 season, per sources.

It wouldn’t have made sense for the Giants to lock themselves into that number given that the new regime is in wait-and-see mode on Jones’ ability.

If Jones falters this fall, the Giants will be in the market for a new quarterback in the 2023 NFL draft.

If Jones plays well and proves his worth, the Giants still have the franchise tag (projected at $31.497 million by overthecap.com) and transition tag ($28.337 million) available to keep him under contract in 2023.

So this is essentially a $5.9 million-to $9.1 million gamble.

That extra cost also probably would be negligible if Jones, 24, played great this season. The Giants and Jones’ agents likely would be working on a contract extension anyway.

Daniel Jones (8) of the New York Giants runs under pressure from Haason Reddick (43) of the Carolina Panthers during the second half of the game at MetLife Stadium on Oct. 24 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The Giants did pick up the fifth-year option on defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence for 2023 on Thursday, a source confirmed.

That guarantees Lawrence a salary of $10.753 million for that season. And Lawrence, 24, still

has a chance to earn an extension and fold that money into it, too.

The timing of the Jones decision was interesting, though, considering the Giants did due diligence on this year’s quarterback class that

includes names like Liberty’s Malik Willis, Pitt’s Kenny Pickett, UNC’s Sam Howell, Ole Miss’ Matt Corral and Cincinnati’s Desmond Ridder.

But co-owner John Mara said on the record that he’d be surprised if Jones isn’t his Week 1 starter this fall. And ownership enjoyed the fact that many GM candidates told the Giants they had faith in Jones in January.

The 2023 quarterback class also is expected to be much richer than this year’s, headlined by Alabama’s Bryce Young and Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud.

The only problem is the Giants will have competition if they’re trying to draft a QB next year.

Entering Thursday night, the Giants held only one pick in the 2023 NFL draft’s first round, while several teams already have two: the division rival Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins.

Since the Giants are rebuilding, Schoen has been making or taking calls on many of his current roster’s most talented players, from Saquon Barkley to James Bradberry to Kadarius Toney.

But the GM has to be careful he doesn’t tear this down so far that he doesn’t give Jones a fair crack at a winning roster in 2022.

Schoen has said he wants to compete today while building for tomorrow. The reality is that the long term is the priority for the Giants, and has to be, while it’s 2022 or bust for Jones.

It will be fascinating to see if the Giants can turn this around quickly for Jones’ sake, and if Jones will be capable of doing his part.

MLB roundup: Yankees beat Orioles for sixth straight win Field Level Media

Anthony Rizzo hit a tiebreaking RBI single and New York capitalized on five errors by visiting Baltimore to extend its winning streak to six games with a 10-5 victory on Thursday.

Aaron Judge hit a three-run homer and had the tying single in the fifth as the Yankees won for the eighth time in nine games. Judge’s hard single deflected off second baseman Rougned Odor’s glove, after Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo booted DJ LeMahieu’s grounder for Baltimore’s second error of the inning.

Rizzo snapped a 2-2 tie in the fifth when he lined a single off Baltimore starter Bruce Zimmermann (1-1) and Giancarlo Stanton followed Rizzo with an RBI single. New York starter Jameson Taillon allowed two runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings and Miguel Castro (2-0) escaped a bases loaded jam in the fifth.

Brewers 3, Pirates 2 Andrew McCutchen hit a home run and drove in two runs in the ninth inning Thursday as the visiting Milwaukee Brewers rallied for a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates to complete a three-game series sweep.

Trailing 2-1 entering the ninth against right-hander Chris Stratton (0-1), Milwaukee pinch-hitter Christian Yelich laid down a bunt single. Kolten Wong singled to right and pinch-hitter Omar Narvaez singled to left to load the bases.

McCutchen, who played his first nine seasons with the Pirates, singled to center against his former team to drive in Yelich and Wong. McCutchen also sent the game’s first pitch into the stands in left for his first home run of the season.

Milwaukee starter Freddy Peralta gave up three hits over six scoreless innings with no walks and seven strikeouts. Rookies Jack Suwinski and Diego Castillo each drove in a run for the Pirates, who are 0-6 against the Brewers.

Padres 7, Reds 5 Ha-Seong Kim lined a tiebreaking two-out, three-run double in the sixth inning to lead visiting San Diego over Cincinnati and secure a sweep of the six-game season series.

Manny Machado had four hits, including a double, and Jorge Alfaro knocked in two runs for San Diego. Nick Martinez (12) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts in five innings to earn his first win as a Padre. Taylor Rogers earned his seventh save.

Mike Moustakas went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored for Cincinnati.

Twins 7, Tigers 1 Carlos Correa went 3-for-5 with three RBIs, including a bases-loaded double in the fifth inning, to help host Minnesota beat Detroit for its seventh straight win.

Gio Urshela had three hits and an RBI, and Trevor Larnach and Gilberto Celestino each added two hits and an RBI for the Twins. Cody Stashak (1-0), taking over when starter Bailey Ober left with a groin injury, picked up the win by allowing two hits over 1 1/3 innings while striking out one.

Robbie Grossman went 3-for5 and Harold Castro had two hits for the Tigers, who committed four errors while losing their fifth straight game. Tarik Skubal (1-2) suffered the loss, allowing six runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks over five innings.

He struck out four.

Phillies 7, Rockies 1 Alec Bohm homered and drove in two runs, and Zack Wheeler tossed six shutout innings to lift host Philadelphia to a win and four-game sweep over Colorado.

The Phillies scored seven runs on only four hits.Wheeler (1-3) allowed only one hit to go along with seven strikeouts and four walks.

The struggling Rockies had five hits with no player recording more than one. Rockies starter Austin Gomber (1-2) gave up three hits and three runs, two earned, in six innings.

Rays 2, Mariners 1 Brett Phillips had a pair of two-out, run-scoring singles and

made a key defensive play in the ninth inning as Tampa Bay defeated visiting Seattle in St. Petersburg, Fla. Harold Ramirez scored twice for the Rays, who took two of three games in the series.

J.P. Feyereisen (1-0) earned the victory with two perfect innings of relief and fellow righthander Ryan Thompson got the final out, catching pinch-hitter Tom Murphy looking at a called third strike, for his second save of the season.

Angels 4, Guardians 1 Defending American League MVP Shohei Ohtani got his first day off of the season, but host Los Angeles didn’t miss a beat, beating Cleveland to complete a four-game sweep in Anaheim, Calif.

With Ohtani on the bench and Mike Trout getting a semiday off as the designated hitter, the Angels offense was not as sharp as it has been of late. They had just six hits, including three

by Brandon Marsh, but made the most of their opportunities.

Leadoff hitter Taylor Ward drove in two runs and Tyler Wade scored twice.

The limited offense was enough because Los Angeles got another strong performance from its pitching staff. Starter Reid Detmers (1-1) gave up one run and two hits in five innings to get his first victory of the season. The bullpen came up big again, with four relievers combining for four scoreless innings.

Astros 3, Rangers 2 Kyle Tucker ripped a two-run, pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning to back the four-hit outing of starter Justin Verlander as visiting Houston defeated Texas

in Arlington, Texas, in the finale of a four-game series.

Tucker’s homer off reliever Matt Bush (0-1) drove in Jeremy Pena, who had been hit by a pitch, and allowed Verlander (2-1) his second victory in four starts this season after missing all of 2021 with an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery.

Verlander, 39, struck out eight and did not walk a batter and lowered his ERA to 1.73. Rafael Montero allowed a one-out home run to Texas’ Corey Seager in the ninth and then worked out of a two-out jam for his first save of the year.

Marlins 3, Nationals 2 Jesus Sanchez hit a pinch-hit, go-ahead single in the seventh inning as visiting Miami won its fifth straight game, defeating reeling Washington.

Trevor Rogers (1-3) earned his first victory of the season, allowing just two hits, two walks and one run in six innings. He struck out four. Cole Sulser got the final four outs for his first save with Miami.

Josh Bell and Cesar Hernandez each had an RBI double for the Nats. Patrick Corbin (0-4) took the loss, allowing four hits, two walks and three runs, two earned, in six-plus innings. He struck out a season-high eight batters. The Nationals have lost eight straight games, their longest skid since 2009.

Blue Jays 1, Red Sox 0 Alek Manoah struck out seven in seven innings and Toronto shut out visiting Boston.

Manoah (4-0) held the Red Sox to three hits and one walk.

Jordan Romano pitched around a single in the ninth to earn his

ninth save of the season.

Alejandro Kirk had two singles and an RBI for the Blue Jays. In the third inning, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. reached base with one out on an error by Red Sox shortstop Christian Arroyo. Raimel Tapia walked and Kirk hit a two-out RBI single.

Royals 5, White Sox 2 (10) Kyle Isbel’s two-run single in extra innings led Kansas City over host Chicago, taking the rubber game of a three-game series.

The Royals loaded the bases with one out in the 10th. After Bobby Witt Jr. struck out, a passed ball scored the go-ahead run. Isbel then stroked an opposite-field single. The White Sox walked 23 Royals in the threegame series, including eight in this game and two in the 10th.

Royals right-hander Brad Keller allowed one run on three hits in seven innings. It was his third quality start of the season, but he has yet to get a win. Chicago starter Michael Kopech allowed two runs on three hits.

He struck out three and walked four, needing 94 pitches to get through five innings.

Braves 5, Cubs 1 Kyle Wright threw seven strong innings and Dansby Swanson and Adam Duvall hit their first home runs of the season to help Atlanta beat Chicago and earn its first series win of the season.

Wright (3-0) allowed one run on three hits, a season-high four walks and eight strikeouts.

The Braves are 8-1 in Wright’s last nine starts dating back to Sept. 13, 2020. Atlanta’s Ronald Acuna Jr. returned to the lineup 10 months after tearing his right ACL. He went 1-for-5, striking out twice and stealing two bases.

Cubs starter Drew Smyly (12) pitched 4 2/3 innings and allowed two runs on a pair of solo homers, five hits, one walk and four strikeouts.

Cardinals 8, D-backs 3 Paul Goldschmidt led a 15-hit attack – all of them singles – with three hits that produced three runs, and Dakota Hudson carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning as St. Louis beat visiting Arizona.

Hudson (2-1) didn’t allow a hit until Daulton Varsho’s single to right field with one out in the sixth inning. He struck out four and walked three in six innings.

Tommy Edman had two hits, three runs and two RBIs for the Cardinals.

Pavin Smith hit a two-run homer for the Diamondbacks.

Humberto Castellanos (1-1) gave up five hits and five runs in two innings.

bottom of the third for Hudson and Aliyah Camacho brought her around with an RBI base hit up the middle. After an Ashley Harp groundout, Lindsey Martin laced a two-run homer to left field to cut the Riverhawks’ lead to 7-5.

With two outs in the top of the fourth, Leigha Wiley doubled to left field for Coxsackie-Athens, but Plaia struck out Bella Bushane for the third out and escaped potential trouble. Sydnee Cooley-Grossman led off with a walk for the Bluehawks in the bottom half, but was retired on a fielder’s choice by Alyssa Harp. With Harp on first base, Logue returned to the plate and belted a two run blast to tie the game, 7-7.

O’Dell came up with two gone in the fifth and tripled to left-center field to start another two out rally for the Riverhawks.

The Coxsackie-Athens lineup responded in kind, and they took a 9-7 lead thanks to RBI singles from Grounds and Sitcer.

Farrand stepped in the box and knocked in two more with a double as the lead swelled to 11-7 for the Riverhawks. Wiley fouled out to the catcher Camacho for the third out and Hudson stopped the bleeding there.

Wiley took the ball in the bottom half in a relief appearance for the Riverhawks as they looked to shut the door on the Bluehawks. Hudson managed to get one run across in the inning but that’s all they would get for now, Lindsey Martin crossing the plate on a wild pitch to narrow the deficit to 11-8.

Plaia had the best inning of her outing Thursday in the top of the sixth when she struck out the side to get her team back at the dish. Alyssa Haro got things started in the bottom half of the sixth with a line drive into right off the first baseman’s glove. She moved to second on a wild pitch and then to third on a single that Kritzman dropped into left field.

Aliyah Camacho drove in one run with an RBI groundout to third base to cut it to 11-9, and Kritzman took a gamble but made it to third on the throw to first. Her risky baserunning paid off and Kritzman scored on another wild pitch to pull the Bluehawks within one, 11-10.

O’Dell stayed hot at the plate and lined one up the middle for another leadoff base hit in the top of the seventh. Grounds moved O’Dell into scoring position with a sacrifice groundout to first and O’Dell scampered to third on a passed ball.

The Riverhawks traded an out for another run and Purdy’s RBI groundout made it 12-10 as Coaxsackie-Athens looked to

lock it up in the bottom of the seventh. However, the Hudson Bluehawks had an answer for almost every piece of offense the Riverhawks threw at them and they would not go down easily.

Lindsey Martin slapped a double into left past the glove of the left fielder to start off the inning. Plaia grounded out but moved Martin to third on the play as Hudson just needed to keep sending hitters to the plate.

Arianna Camacho worked a walk to put runners on the corners and then stole second base to get into scoring position as the tying run. Cooley-Grossman dropped an RBI single into shallow right field and the lead was

down to one, 12-11. Alyssa Harp tied the game at 12 with an RBI single into the outfield and the winning run was now on third base for the Bluehawks on an obstruction call as she rounded second base and bumped into the infielder.

Gabby Logue got up with the game tied and the pressure now off, and she hit a hard grounder to deep short and the ball skirted off and away from the shortstop’s glove and the winning run came around to score.

The Hudson Bluehawks won it 13-12, in a slugging marathon over the Coxsackie-Athens Riverhawks in an action-packed contest Thursday.

NFL From B1

In essence Snead traded for a Lombardi Trophy, and that’s something no team is going to turn down.

Some other teams quickly grabbed onto the Rams’ model. The Dolphins, for example, gave up a slew of draft picks to acquire wide receiver Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs, so Miami had to sit out the first round.

But that doesn’t mean the old-school way of building a team through the draft has been forgotten. Not every team did what the Rams and Dolphins did. In fact, stockpiling picks may still be the preferred method.

An unprecedented eight teams had multiple picks in the first round, and first-round picks usually translate into instant starters. There were a lot of trades after the draft began, leaving many mock drafts looking useless.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at the winners and losers in the first round.

NEW YORK GIANTS: General manager Joe Schoen didn’t do anything exciting in his first draft, but that’s the exact approach he should have followed. After making questionable decisions on skill-position players in recent years, the Giants got back to basics.

With the fifth overall pick, the Giants took Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, and with the No. 7 selection, they drafted Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal. There is nothing exciting there, but that’s not a bad thing.

Thibodeaux easily could have gone at No. 1 or 2 because he can rush the passer. Neal will bring some much-needed protection for quarterback Daniel Jones. Thibodeaux and Neal will start right away, and the Giants might have come out of the first round as the NFL’s most improved team.

Think about it: During some of the best years in franchise history, the Giants were built around solid offensive lines and pass rushers such as Lawrence Taylor and Michael Strahan. The Giants walked out of the first round with two cornerstones.

DETROIT LIONS: Ordinarily, I would say a team drafting at No. 2 shouldn’t get too much credit for making an easy pick. However, given the embarrassing draft history of the Lions, nothing was out of the question. This time,

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA though, Detroit got it right.

Although No. 1 overall pick Travon Walker might end up being a superstar in Jacksonville, the Lions lucked out when defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was available.

First, he’s a Michigan kid, and that will play well at the box office. Second, Hutchinson can rush the passer, and the Lions were desperate for that. Third, Hutchinson doesn’t have the ceiling that Walker does, but he also doesn’t have the same kind of floor.

The Lions followed that up by trading up to take Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams at No. 12. That’s a coup because Williams might have been the best receiver in the draft. Yeah, he tore his ACL late last season and probably won’t be able to play until around midseason. That’s fine because the Lions aren’t expecting to turn things around immediately.

CAROLINA PANTHERS: There was a school of thought around the league that Carolina owner David Tepper, who is not the most patient man, was going to force general manager Scott Fitterer to use the No. 6 pick on Liberty quarterback Malik Willis.

Maybe Tepper has more patience than anyone realized.

Or maybe his thought process gave way to common sense.

Whatever, the Panthers made the right call in drafting North Carolina State offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu. That’s as solid a pick as the Panthers could have made. Ekwonu will give Carolina its first reliable left tackle since Jordan Gross retired after the 2013 season.

Yeah, that means Carolina fans can look forward (maybe that’s too strong a word in this case) to another year of Sam Darnold at quarterback. But that’s a better alternative than drafting Willis too early and surrounding him with a bad team.

Earlier this week, Tepper reminded the media he said he expected coach Matt Rhule would take five years to rebuild when he was first brought on board. Rhule is entering his third season. He still doesn’t have a solid quarterback, but at least he’s not stuck with a quarterback who would have set the rebuilding process back.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: General manager Mickey Loomis has never been afraid to gamble. That’s especially true now that coach Sean Payton is gone. The Saints entered the night with the 16th and 19th picks. Loomis traded up with

the Washington Commanders to get the No. 11 pick.

The Saints used it on Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave. If Loomis hadn’t made the deal, Olave would have been gone and the Saints, who need to surround quarterback Jameis Winston with weapons, might have been out of suitable options because the wide receiver pool was drying up.

Loomis’ second pick of the night wasn’t as flashy, and some may question how quickly offensive tackle Trevor Penning can contribute because he played at Northern Iowa. But keep this in mind: Loomis once drafted guard Jahri Evans out of Division II Bloomsburg (Pa.). Evans turned out to be a four-time All-Pro and a six-time Pro Bowler.

LOSERS GREEN BAY PACKERS: If ever a team was expected to address a certain position coming into a draft, it was the Packers and a wide receiver.

After trading Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, Green Bay was running extremely thin on wide receivers for Aaron Rodgers to target.

But, somehow, the Packers managed to come out of the first round without a wide receiver. Instead, they brought

in two defensive players from the University of Georgia.

Linebacker Quay Walker was drafted at No. 22 and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, who has had some off-field problems, was taken at No. 28.

Did the Packers whiff on getting a receiver? Maybe.

Maybe not.

With receivers coming off the board at a rapid rate, the value just wasn’t there for the Packers. But a couple of things need to happen to straighten out a potential mess. The Packers need to get a receiver with some upside in the second or third round.

More important, Rodgers is going to have to make that receiver look good right away.

HOUSTON TEXANS: The history books say that 2002 was Houston’s expansion season. They might have been wrong. Look at Houston’s current roster. It’s actually worse than it was in 2002.

The Texans drafted LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. at No. 3 overall. That’s a violation of the cardinal rule that you don’t draft a cornerback in the first five.

Deshaun Watson is gone and Davis Mills is Houston’s current starting quarterback.

There is a reason why Mills wasn’t taken until the third round in 2021. The Texans also

entered the draft with the No. 13 overall pick. They traded it to Philadelphia and wound up with Texas A&M guard Kenyon Green at No. 15. Green may end up being a solid player, but has a guard ever turned around the direction of a franchise?

The Texans went 4-13 last season. They’ll be lucky to win four games this year.

NEW YORK JETS: Commissioner Roger Goodell didn’t get as many boos from Jets fans as he did back when the draft was held at Radio City Music Hall. He should have.

The Jets had a chance to get Thibodeaux and fill their biggest need.

Instead, they made the same mistake the Texans did and drafted a cornerback too soon, taking Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner at No. 4. The Jets also veered off the track from their biggest needs at No. 10 when they chose Ohio State wide receiver Garrett Wilson. He’s a nice player, but he doesn’t fill a huge need.

The Jets finally did get a pass rusher when they traded back into the first round to get Florida State linebacker Jermaine Johnson II at No. 26. He has lots of potential, but he’s far from a sure thing.

The Jets came into the draft with a great chance to

improve. At the end of the night, they didn’t look much better.

BALTIMORE RAVENS: The Ravens drafted Notre Dame’s Kyle Hamilton at No. 14.

That’s anywhere from five to 15 spots too high.

Yeah, Hamilton was a productive college player, but there are questions about his ability to be an impact player on the next level: What about that 4.7 time in the 40-yard dash at the scouting combine?

And is Hamilton a safety or a linebacker?

Baltimore’s biggest need heading into the draft was on the defensive line, where the Ravens haven’t used a firstround pick since Haloti Ngata in 2006. Coming out of the first night of the draft, defensive line still is Baltimore’s biggest need.

On a night when the Ravens made multiple trades, drafting Hamilton wasn’t their only puzzling move. They traded Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, a 1,000-yard receiver last year, to the Arizona Cardinals. At least the Ravens made one move that made some sense when they used the No. 25 pick on Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum. It’s hard to find a center that turns out to be a bust.

Childhood sexual abuse puts woman on a difficult path Dear Abby, I’m a widow in a new relationship. I was molested for years by an older sibling. When my behavior became troublesome — skipping school, becoming antisocial — I was sent to a reform school for several years. The sibling was sent into the army.

When I was released from the school, I drifted into worse DEAR ABBY relationships and into the sex trade. I got out of that after six months. I’ve always felt like a “good girl,” but the past haunts me. I used to talk about the abuse constantly. It was always in the back of my mind. It still pops up on a regular basis, but I have not told my new partner.

A friend once told me that people don’t need to know everything about you, and I believe that. Some folks blamed me for the abuse, although it started before I was 8. Sometimes I feel I should tell my partner, as it does affect my behavior — I have low self-esteem, etc. I’ve had counseling, but it didn’t help me. When I confronted my abuser years later, he told me it was my problem.

Do I need to share this to be completely honest about who I am? I have never felt “normal.”

It’s as if I’m carrying a dreaded secret. Any advice?

JEANNE PHILLIPS

What you suffered as a child was not your fault. You needed counseling then, not blame.

Because you didn’t receive it at that time, it isn’t surprising your problems followed you wherever you went.

Not knowing your partner, I cannot decide for you whether you should reveal your history to him. I can, however, strongly recommend that you contact the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN). When you do, you will be talking with a trained counselor who can guide you. Nothing you confide will be a shock to that person, and you may be put in touch with help in your local area.

Dear Abby, My wife and I have been together for 30 years, married for 20. We have two sons living at home, a 20-year-old who works fulltime and a 17-year-old who is graduating from high school in the spring.

I have been offered a transfer to Australia by my employer — a transfer I had asked for.

When we discussed it in the past, everyone was all for it. My oldest can likely stay with the multinational hotel chain he works for now, and I can get my youngest a decent career in my field of work as there is a tremendous shortage of skilled labor in Australia.

Now my wife tells me she can’t leave her family, especially her father, who has Parkinson’s.

I have told her she can expect to return every summer to our condo on the beach and an additional two trips per year.

Abby, I thought our vows meant we would be together forever, wherever. My employer will soon begin the process of opening the Australian office, a process I will be part of and likely train the new hire. I am bitter and resentful toward my wife, and it is affecting my attitude toward her. I love her, but I am struggling to get over the fact she is denying me a very lucrative opportunity. Advice?

It’s time for you and your wife to put your heads together and work out a solution. By that I mean you should accept the lucrative business opportunity you have been offered, AND your wife can take care of her father as long as she needs to. Unless his condition is critical, she can visit you and your sons periodically so it shouldn’t put too much strain on your marriage. I hope you will consider it because the kind of resentment you are feeling now can destroy a marriage.

Dark Side of the Horse

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are quite soft-spoken, and yet in spite of this, everyone knows just exactly who you are and what you stand for, because your personality is always so clearly on display.

You are a strong and confident individual, even to the extent that you rarely, if ever, have to announce your intentions or advertise your actions before setting out to do something. You simply do it, knowing full well that everyone will soon know all there is to know about the endeavor because of the way you go about it.

There is something surprisingly poetic in your nature, and despite your straightforward approach to life, you are always considering the more poetic and philosophical questions, and applying them in your own quiet way to your own life. You are quite adept at interpreting world events in a very personal way.

Also born on this date are: Willie Nelson, singer; Kirsten Dunst, actress; Cloris Leachman, actress; Eve Arden, actress; Jill Clayburgh, actress; Jane Campion, screenwriter; Burt Young, 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.

SUNDAY, MAY 1 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You’re sure to be noticed today, but not necessarily for the reason you had anticipated. This may require a total shift in thinking.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Whether you are standing center stage or supporting another from the wings, what you do will surely make a difference today. Think ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You are eager to learn a lesson or two today from someone who

is in a position that you all but covet. You can be there yourself very soon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You have more time available to you today than you think, but that doesn’t mean you can slow down. In fact, the opposite is true: Speed up!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — The balance with work, rest and play may well be disrupted today by someone who doesn’t know what’s going on with you. Explain it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You are missing something that you can’t quite identify. Take time to reflect — and write things down in order to remember minute details.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You may be feeling somewhat separated from those who share your overall attitude about how things are going. Reach out to them!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It may be time for you to explain, in no uncertain terms, just what you intend for the next few days or weeks. This will require planning.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You may not be able to move forward on your own today, but there are those who wish to join you in your efforts, and that can work wonders.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — How you organize your thinking will make a big difference today and prepare you to take a stand when it’s no longer an option to be silent.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You can surely excel today, but you’ll want to explore a few new options as well — which may limit your progress as you experiment a little.

Going for good ‘The Bad Guys’ is a slick animated adventure with heart

‘THE BAD GUYS’

By MARK MESZOROS

2.5 stars (out of 4)

News-Herald (Willoughby, Ohio)

MPAA rating: PG (for action and rude humor)

Sometimes it’s good to be bad.

As long as, at the end of the day, you’re being pretty good.

That, more or less, is the message of “The Bad Guys,” a very slick and pretty fun offering from DreamWorks animation based on Aaron Blabey’s popular book series of the same name.

The Bad Guys are a crew of anthropomorphic animals, each of whom brings his or her own skill-set to the enterprise of stealing this, that and the other in their city.

We first are introduced to their leader, handsome pickpocket Mr. Wolf (voiced by Sam Rockwell), enjoying a meal at a coffee shop with his pal and colleague Mr. Snake (Marc Maron), who isn’t at all interested in celebrating his birthday — for reasons that will become apparent deeper into the movie.

The buddies finish up their lunch and proceed to rob a nearby bank with the rest of their gang: easy-going master-of-disguise Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson), shortfused tough guy Mr. Piranha (Anthony Ramos) and expert hacker Ms. Tarantula (Awkwafina).

“Go bad ...” Mr. Fox says as he drives them away from the scene of the crime in his souped-up car. “... or go home,” Mr. Snake says, completing the accompanying offer of a fist bump from Mr. Fox. Back at their super-secret, loot-filled hideout, Mr. Wolf is eager to watch a news report covering their latest heist. However, he quickly becomes upset by a new city official, Governor Diane Foxington (Zazie Beetz), saying she feels sorry for The Bad Guys, referring to them as “second-rate has-beens.”

Molly Shannon is an inveterate credit giver.

Ask her about the title of her new memoir, “Hello, Molly!” and she volunteers that Allison Saltzman, an art director at HarperCollins, came up with it.

Praise her “Saturday Night Live” sketch “Dr. Beaman’s Office,” in which Tim Meadows performs the robot as Dr. Poop, causing Shannon to break out laughing, and she’ll offer, “Adam McKay wrote it.” Mention you enjoyed the first two episodes of her Showtime series, “I Love That for You,” premiering April 29, and she’ll give props to show creators Vanessa Bayer and Jeremy Beiler, showrunner Jessi Klein, director Michael Showalter and costar Jenifer Lewis.

But “Hello, Molly!” is all about Shannon, and it thrums with her indefatigable and fearless spirit.

These qualities were instilled in her following the tragic death of her mother, sister and cousin in a 1969 car crash that she and her father, who was at the wheel, survived. She was 4 years old. “I was tough,” she writes. “When you lose a parent, you don’t want anybody to treat you differently.

You want to blend in.”

But Shannon can’t help but stand out, much like her iconic “SNL” character, Mary Katherine Gallagher, the aspiring “superstar” who literally throws herself into everything she does. In “Hello, Molly!” Shannon shares her journey from Cleveland, where she lived with her permissive, but nurturing, alcoholic father, to Hollywood and New York where See SHANNON C2

We dare you not to let Lizzo’s ‘About Damn Time’ put you in the mood

By NARDINE SAAD Los Angeles Times

According to Lizzo, it’s bad-bitch o’clock. (And thick-thirty.) But it’s also nearly summertime, maybe even in the 1970s.

The three-time Grammy winner unleashed her newest song, “About Damn Time,” on Thursday, and, well, it’s about damn time.

“Have you been feeling stressed?

Have you also been feeling sexy? Well I got the remedy for you... I put my whole Lizussy in this one!... ABOUT DAMN TIME IS OUT NOW!” the “Juice” and “Truth Hurts” singer wrote Thursday on Instagram.

The track — with its affirmative, instantly uplifting disco beat — hails from Lizzo’s just-announced fourth album, “Special,” which is slated for July 15. The new song throws back to 1975 and Van McCoy’s “The Hustle” flute solo.

The accompanying music video, directed by Christian Breslauer, also dropped late Thursday. It opens with a sweatsuit-clad Lizzo reluctantly attending a “Stressed and Sexy” support group meeting that she completely turns on its head by manifesting her inner disco diva.

And that brings the technicolor dazzle to a nondescript office building she basically takes over. (We dare you not to bop along.)

Sporting a bouffant and clad in sequins, the 33-year-old singer does

the Carlton dance, splits, twerks and moon walks, then plays the flute on top of a swimming pool while surrounded by synchronized swimmers.

“Turn up the music/ Turn down the lights/ I’ve got a feeling/ I’m gon’ be all right/ OK, all right, it’s about damn time,” she sings along to bouncy choreography.

The flautist, who recently launched the size-inclusive shapewear line Yitty, told Apple Music host Zane Lowe that her positive new See LIZZO C2

All aboard for a ride back in time Nevada’s ‘most authentic’ railway site has steam, smoke — and a cat

By JUSTIN FRANZ Washington Post

One of the things Mark Bassett noticed on his first visit to the Nevada Northern Railway Museum some 25 years ago was the lack of warning signs, glass cases and velvet ropes protecting the artifacts.

“There were no signs saying, ‘Don’t Go There’ or ‘Don’t Touch That,’” said Bassett, then just a visitor but now president and executive director of the railroad. “It was very unusual for a museum.”

That’s because the Nevada Northern Railway Museum is not your typical museum.

William Withuhn, the Smithsonian’s late transportation curator, called the museum complex one of the “most complete, most authentic, and best cared-for” historic railroad sites in North America. Spread out over 56 acres on the edge of Ely, Nev., are more than 100 historic rail cars, 58 buildings and structures, three restored steam locomotives, one Internet-famous cat and countless artifacts that contribute to the site’s designation as a National Historic Landmark. It’s one of the few historic railroads in the country to achieve such distinguished status.

Railroad tracks were first put down in this remote stretch of Nevada desert — about four hours north of Las Vegas and 3 ½ hours southwest of Salt Lake City — about 116 years ago, shortly after copper was discovered in the mountains that surround Ely. At the time, the nation’s need for copper was booming as electricity and telephone lines spread across the country. Ely’s economy boomed, too, and a railroad was

Foxington and other important types. There — and disguised as the sophisticated (and excellently named) Oliver Poodleton — he chats her up, and we see these furry mammals have a little chemistry.

Also in attendance is Chief of Police (Alex Borstein), who’s long been obsessed with seeing The Bad Guys pay for their crimes. When their plan goes awry, she is close to getting her wish, but, instead of being sent to prison, The Bad Guys strike a deal. Instead, they will work with the night’s honoree, kind-hearted guinea pig Pressor Marmalade (Richard Ayoade), who will teach them how to be (gasp!) good guys.

Will they be able to make the big change? Do they really even want to? And might a REAL villain emerge before the adventure is all said and done?

(Well, obviously, the answer to the final question is yes, but we’ll say no more.)

song “can lead into so many conversations.”

“It’s about damn time I feel better, it’s about damn time we get out this pandemic. It’s about damn time we to get the first Black female Supreme Court justice,” she said. “There’s so many things. It’s about damn time we popped the champagne. It’s about damn time the tequila got here.”

built from the mines just south of there north to McGill, where raw copper ore was processed, then on to Cobre and Shafter, where the finished product was handed off to massive transcontinental railroads for shipment to market.

In the 1910s and 1920s, dozens of trains would chug through Ely around the clock, taking raw ore to the smelter at McGill. The railroad also operated passenger trains to take miners to work and children to school. One train, the Steptoe Valley Flyer, ran all the way to Cobre, where passengers could transfer to a mainline train bound for the big cities to the east and west.

Passenger trains stopped running in 1941 after better roads opened up in the area, but the government regulator

that oversaw the railroad required it to keep one passenger train — steam locomotive and all — just in case those newfangled automobiles didn’t pan out. That decision would have a big effect on the community a few decades later.

Moving copper kept the railroad busy until around the 1980s, when demand waned and the mines closed. Almost overnight, the railroad had nothing to haul, so its owner, the Kennecott Copper Corporation, shut it down in June 1983.

The busy little rail yard in Ely, which had hummed with the sounds of trains coming and going day and night for about 77 years, fell silent. The closure of both the mine and the railroad spelled trouble for the town.

“The plug had been pulled on the town, and they were scared,

minutes, their adventure could have been a little tighter, but there is a lot of amusement here for the little ones — regardless of whether they know the books.

Plus, there are lessons to be found, especially when it comes to the testing of the bond between Mr. Fox and Mr. Snake.

Thankfully, “The Bad Guys” also traffics in some gags only adults will get, including a silly-clever throwaway joke involving Ms. Tarantula’s computer work.

Also, “The Bad Guys” gets kudos for its voice casting.

Rockwell (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”) is cool and smooth as Mr. Fox, while podcast host and comic Maron crushes it as the curmudgeonly and abrasive Mr. Snake. And then there’s Maron’s “Joker” castmate Beetz (“Atlanta”), who helps Foxington come across as appropriately confident and capable.

According to the movie’s production notes, “The Bad Guys” isn’t a straight adaptation of the first graphic novel but instead folds in elements from the first four of Aussie Blabey’s bestselling 22-book series.

While this falls short of an animated classic, we certainly wouldn’t mind Hollywood looting Blabey’s treasure chest to craft another adventure of these rather good Bad Guys.

“About Damn Time” the new song of the summer and a longawaited track from “a feel good queen.”

The singer also told Lowe that she’s writing songs “about love from every direction” and hopes to “turn a little bit of the fear that’s been running rampant in this world, energetically into love.”

“I had a lot of fear, and I had to do the work on myself, and this music is some of that work in turning that fear into love. I hope that when people listen to this album, it makes their day just a little bit better, a little bit more filled with love,” she said.

because if you look at the history of Nevada, you’ll see a lot of towns that died when the mine closed,” Bassett said. “The people of Ely knew that if they didn’t do something, the town might just dry up and blow away into the desert.”

Although there was no way for the town to reopen the mine, some community members thought reopening the railroad and running excursion trains could help attract tourists. They approached Kennecott about donating some track, locomotives and cars. Instead, the company gave the town almost everything, including that old passenger train that had been stored back in 1941. In May 1987, the Nevada Northern Railway Museum opened for business, with locomotive No. 40 — a 4-6-0 steam locomotive built in 1910 for passenger trains — leading the way.

Initially, the museum’s volunteers were primarily interested in running train excursions for locals and tourists. But as the years went on, they realized that Kennecott had given them something pretty special. Due in part to the area’s remoteness, much of the railroad and its facilities were never upgraded.

When updates did come along, as when modern diesel locomotives arrived in the 1950s, the old equipment was just pushed out of the way instead of being scrapped.

The Nevada Northern employees were also pack rats.

Along with railroad equipment, the Nevada Northern has what it believes is one of the largest and most intact collections of corporate paperwork anywhere in the country, with documents dating back to the construction in 1905 and 1906. “They didn’t throw anything away,” said archivist and trainmaster Con Trumbull, the man tasked with sorting through the museum’s artifacts. “When you’re here,

you’re really stepping into a time warp, and you’re able to see what a railroad looked and felt like in the 1920s and 1930s.”

To maintain that “time warp” quality, the organization doesn’t rope off exhibits or put up “Keep Out” signs; visitors can wander the grounds as they please and watch up close as workers maintain the vintage steam locomotives. That unusual access is what Bassett loved about the place when he first visited in the late 1990s and why he quickly came back as a volunteer. In 2002, he became executive director and president of the railroad.

Bassett said maintaining that type of unfettered access is challenging at times, but it’s something he believes is important. Once visitors arrive at the museum — after buying a ticket at the depot — they receive constant safety reminders: to stand back at least six feet from moving equipment, to not climb onto anything and to be aware of their surroundings. The message is even incorporated into the railroad’s logo.

One of the highlights of any visit to the Nevada Northern, though, is the train ride. On most weekends from March until December, and daily from spring until fall, visitors can take a ride through Robinson Canyon, along the same route that copper ore traveled a century or so ago. Vintage steam locomotives power the train, giving visitors a smoky but unforgettable experience.

On select Friday nights from May until September, the railroad runs a train out into the desert where it’s met by a park ranger with telescopes from nearby Great Basin National Park, known for having some of the darkest skies in the Lower 48. The excursions regularly sell out a year in advance.

The railroad employs about 20 people and many volunteers,

who run and maintain trains, write grants, archive and more.

However, the most famous onsite personality is a cat named Dirt. Born inside the locomotive shop in 2008, the orange-andwhite cat was adopted by the workers and spends his days exploring the complex and welcoming visitors. He’s also built up a considerable following on social media. One look at Dirt and the reason for his name quickly becomes clear: Living inside an active railroad shop is a dirty affair, but there’s no doubt the cat is well cared for, as exemplified by the bags of treats everywhere and the affection he gets from workers.

Although the museum offers guided tours and interpretive signage, Trumbull said it’s important to remember that a visit to the Nevada Northern isn’t your typical museum experience. The reason to visit is to immerse oneself in a place as it existed a century ago — warts and all.

“When you visit the Nevada Northern, you’re going to smell coal smoke and sweat,” he said.

“We’re not fancy here. This is a blue-collar railroad.”

The bet made more than 30 years ago to turn an unused railroad into a tourist attraction is also paying off for the community. In 1987, the first year excursions ran, the railroad hauled about 4,000 people; now, it regularly moves about 36,000 passengers annually. The railroad also hosts a number of experiences that draw visitors from around the world. Among the most popular is “Be the Engineer,” which allows participants to learn how to run a locomotive before taking it out on the line leading a freight train. (People pay nearly $800 to run the diesel locomotive and about $3,000 to run a steam locomotive on a 14-mile round trip through the sagebrush.)

From C1

she became one of “SNL’s” most beloved cast members.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Q: You write about being in something called the New Little Rascals when you were young. Did you watch the original “Our Gang” comedies growing up? Who were the actors who inspired you?

A: I definitely watched “Our Gang” after school on TV. John Ritter on “Three’s Company” was a great influence as a physical comedy performer.

Years later, I met him at a Starbucks with his wife in West L.A. He saw me and I saw him and we gave one another a big hug.

I also watched “Little House on the Prairie.” Melissa Gilbert was about my age. She was a little spitfire. And Gilda Radner! I grew up watching “SNL” on babysitting jobs after I put the kids to bed. I didn’t think I could ever be like her; she was a unique one-of-a-kind talent.

My dad loved her character, Roseanne Roseannadanna.

Q: You had a rich interior life growing up and the book is filled with outrageous stories. The one that comes to mind is your dad daring you and your friend to hop a plane to New York. You were 13! Do you think this fearlessness prepared you as a comic actor?

A: It gave me a zest for life and a kind of exuberance. My dad liked to be silly and have fun. Someone asked me once if I was scared. I wasn’t scared at all. We were thrilled and overjoyed. It was like a fun adventure.

Q: Your first “SNL” episode was hosted by George Clooney. Do you remember getting your first laugh?

A: I was very nervous. When I got the job, I went to my friend Michael Palermo and said, “Mike, what if I forget

how to walk and talk?” I went to his office where he was temping and practiced walking and reading lines and he said, “See, you can do it.” I played George Clooney’s assistant in a sketch. I do remember I got a laugh. George Clooney couldn’t have been nicer. He was a great person to perform with for the first time on the show. I was like, “OK, and we’re off.”

Q: You write extensively about the creation of your iconic characters Mary Katherine Gallagher and Sally O’Malley. But you were also in sketches that rank in the “SNL” pantheon with “More Cowbell” and “Delicious Dish.” When you’re in a sketch like that, do you have any inkling it’s going to become part of the culture?

A: Ana Gasteyer brought that to me. Dennis McNicholas, Michael Schur, Robert Carlock and Ana wrote that together. It was such a pleasure to perform because we would do it center stage and it just killed. I think I did have a sense right from the beginning, “This is going to be good.”

Q: In the book, you have an

interesting take on breaking character; you defend it. I’ve read Lorne Michaels isn’t a fan of the actors laughing during a scene, but audiences love it. Why is that?

A: Because they feel like they’re in on something as it’s happening right before their eyes. It’s like they’re laughing with you, as though they are part of it. It also means you’re a happy performer; you’re obviously relaxed and having so much fun. It happened to me in a sketch with Brendan Fraser. I was playing Xena, the warrior princess, and he was my rival. I accidentally pulled his wig off. I could not stop laughing. It was so unprofessional. All of us couldn’t stop laughing.

Q: Was it cathartic to write the book?

A: People have asked that and I’ve said, “No, I’ve already processed so much of this stuff.” But the truth is, it is cathartic because there are all these things you think about and you dig deep to make the book rich. For the first time in my life, I Googled the place of the accident and how far we were from home.

My whole life I had never

done that. We were 18 minutes from home.

Q: What do you hope readers get out of your story?

A: I hope it can inspire people [to realize] that they can overcome difficult things from their childhood, and to see that it’s great to stick to what you’re passionate about. It’s not always easy, but it does make for a good life.

Q: Your story is in part a testament to the importance of the arts in school. And yet the arts are often the first thing that gets cut.

A: It’s so important. My grade school did not have a big budget, but we could do cheap stuff. We had a mom who came in after school and taught us improv. It changed my life. We could just make up little skits.

I lived for the St. Patrick’s Day show where each grade would do a big song and dance number. It was the highlight of my year.

Salad recalls chef’s roots in Gullah country

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

SAN DIEGO — You can’t dress like them, even if you were willing to don the required undergarments. You can’t dine like them, unless you have a generous staffing budget and an over-achieving metabolism. (So! Many! Cakes!) And you can’t duel like them, no matter how much you loathe your neighbor and their infernal leaf-blower.

As much as you may love a day of lounging and plotting and an evening of quadrilles and bodice-ripping, you cannot live like the mansion-dwelling le bon ton aristocrats of Netflix’s delightful, binge-worthy series”Bridgerton.”

But thanks to a new book from former San Diego writer Amy Finley, you can drink like them.

Using the cheeky nom de quill of Lady Thornwood, Finley has written “The Regency Book of Drinks: Quaffs, Quips, Tipples, and Tales from Grosvenor Square,” a new collection of deeply researched, eminently quaffable cocktail recipes shaped by the Regency period of 1811 to 1820 that provided the historical framing for “Bridgerton.” The series is now in its second season.

Adapted from Julia Quinn’s novels, “Bridgerton” debuted during the shut-in Christmas of 2020.

It quickly became one of Netflix’s most-watched shows, as pandemic-weary viewers swooned over the Regency romances, the Jane Austen-worthy social machinations, and the dishy narration by the mysterious scandal-sheet writer known as Lady Whistledown.

One of those viewers was Finley.

“This salad is, for me, about flavor, texture and childhood memories,” chef Alexander Smalls says in his cookbook, “Meals, Music, and Muses: Recipes From My African American Kitchen.” The cookbook is a tribute to his South Carolina heritage and the music that inspired the former professional opera singer.

A childhood favorite, it was on Alexander Smalls the menu when he opened The Cecil, New York City’s first AfroAsian-American restaurant, in 2013. It honors his father and grandfather and the pears they grew in their backyard in Spartanburg, S.C. The beans add protein and the pears a touch of elegance.

A lemony vinaigrette ties it all together.

It’s a versatile recipe that can be made ahead to be dressed later, and it easily goes from an appetizer to a full meal depending on the size.

I halved the ingredients for smaller portions.

Your go-to pantry recipe: Spicy sesame chili noodles

By JOE YONAN Washington Post

When I interviewed Stephanie and Mike Le about their new book, “That Noodle Life,” the first thing I wanted to know was this: What is it about noodles? That is, why are noodles what they, I and so many other people want to eat all the time?

Stephanie didn’t miss a beat: “I know this isn’t going to sound right, but I think they just feel good in your mouth.

There’s something about the physicality of eating noodles that’s really appealing.”

Mike had another idea: “Noodles are the only food where you can eat more than a mouthful at a time.”

Ultimately, wife and husband agreed, it’s also because of the universality of noodles as a comfort food. “Everybody’s eaten a bowl of noodles at some point in their lives,” Stephanie said. “They just taste good, and they’re a great vehicle for all sorts of flavors.”

To call the Les’ new book a

love letter to noodles is to sell short its passion and quirky charm. It includes references

to rap lyrics (“We love big noodles and we cannot lie”) and “Star Trek” (“Live long and

lasagna”), a March Madnessstyle bracketed recipe competition, even a noodle glossary written in haikus. And then there are the recipes, for Philly cheesesteak noodles, yaki udon al pastor and Chinese Bolognese pappardelle.

The book honors the traditions of Asian noodles and Italian pasta while showing how they can come together and play. The couple dive into the Southeastern Asian soup laksa, offer instructions for making spaghetti alla chitarra from scratch the traditional way, and feature plenty of recipes that come together in mere minutes.

It’s the latter that drew my immediate attention, particularly this recipe for Spicy Sesame Chili Oil Noodles that employs a mere handful of ingredients and simple steps to make something that tastes wonderfully complex.

The recipe calls for any favorite noodle, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the ones in the photo, ruffle-edged dried

Chinese knife-cut numbers called Shangxi planed noodles.

I didn’t find them on a trip to my closest Asian supermarket, but they reminded me of a pasta I love, mafaldine, that’s shaped like a stretched-out lasagna noodle, complete with ruffles, so that’s what I used. When we photographed the recipe, our food stylist could not find either, so I suggested long fusilli, a curly noodle that looks like an old-fashioned telephone cord.

“That’s exactly what we want people do to,” Stephanie said. “Those are perfect substitutions.”

The couple does try to stick to general guidelines about swaps: “We try to sub long for long and short for short, and if it’s like a curly shape or a smooth shape, then we’ll match that, too, because a lot of sauces are meant to be picked up by noodles and their crevices,” Mike added. “Other than that, we’re not too picky about substitutions. The shape is the most important thing.”

The recipe includes one of my favorite ingredients, Chinese black vinegar, and introduced me to another, Chinese sesame paste, but offers stand-ins for both: balsamic for the former and tahini for the latter.

I’m a longtime tahini devotee, but the Chinese sesame paste is wonderfully dark and nutty and altogether something I now can’t imagine living without. In a similar spirit, while they include a recipe for a homemade (and wonderful) Sichuan-style chili oil, they also allow for store-bought chili oil, which turns this recipe into one of those pantry champions I can’t get enough of.

It was so easy, so tasty and so fun to eat that when I watched over Zoom as our visuals team made it, right around lunchtime, my stomach rumbled and I stepped out of the frame and into the kitchen, whipping up another See NOODLES C8

By Stella Wilder Born Sunday, you may rarely, if ever, find yourself in the spotlight, but you will almost always be contributing mightily to the things that go on around you at all times.

You are no wallflower, and you will not recede from view entirely as you help another assume a rightful place center stage. You will be there to play the kind of supporting role every story requires — and you enjoy having maximum impact without having to risk everything on your own time.

You enjoy travel and yearn to see as much of the world as possible in your lifetime. You derive great pleasure, and often a good deal of inspiration, from being introduced to new places and cultures, and your experiences on the road — and often off the beaten path — always enrich you in ways that sometimes take you by surprise.

You enjoy learning lessons you didn’t see coming.

Gig workers try to stave off the end of humanity

By MARK ATHITAKIS Star Tribune

“The Temps” by Andrew DeYoung; Keylight Books (264 pages, $27.99) What’s your preferred plot about the end of the world?

Zombie hordes? Viral contagion? Some inhumane corporate scheme that gets out of hand?

Andrew DeYoung’s seriocomic second novel, “The Temps,” has an apocalypse for every taste. It opens with a mass human catastrophe that’s witnessed by Jacob, a temp on his first day at Delphi, an omnivorous megacorp. (“What don’t we do?” he’s told when he asks someone what

his new employer does.) An open-air all-staff meeting is interrupted by a yellow mist that leaves every attendee

crazed and homicidal. The mist soon goes global. But 350 Delphi temps, sealed in the headquarters building, are spared the madness.

DeYoung delivers this global catastrophe with a bit of a wink: Finally, no more all-staff meetings! Among the novel’s chief targets is the anonymizing, dehumanizing world of corporate drudgework. Jacob and his cohort need to fight the mist, but also a brainkilling workplace cult of compelled ignorance.

And one of the jokes is that this takes some doing. A selfappointed leader introduces himself via PowerPoint. While the temps gather resources and brace for attack, they also

get back to work, hoping to spreadsheet their way back to civilization. As one temp observes, “Isn’t this basically what people have been doing for hundreds of years, with religion? Some absent, allseeing god is watching -- and if you do certain things, do them exactly the right way, that god will rescue you, bring you into paradise.”

So in large part, “The Temps” is an allegorical yarn about the modern workplace, with a dash of “The Walking Dead” and Don DeLillo’s “White Noise” tossed in. It fits well on the ever-growing shelf of novels that similarly critique corporate conformity, like Ling Ma’s “Severance”

and Dave Eggers’ “The Circle.”

But DeYoung, who won a Minnesota Book Award for his 2017 novel, “The Exo Project,” distinguishes this book by working in a more meta theme: Why are we so obsessed with these tales of mass destruction anyway? And why do they fall into such familiar ruts? Characters make multiple references to quest tales and hero’s journeys. (Jacob was an English major before working at Delphi.) Hero narratives have ways of making people selfish, DeYoung suggests: The temps’ first organizing efforts take on a survivalist and macho bent. And when the reason behind the yellow mist emerges, it has a grim,

selfish narrative behind it, too.

The gears in DeYoung’s own narrative sometimes grind because he’s working at crosspurposes — he strives to construct a thriller-like dystopian narrative while pulling at the threads of thriller and dystopian tropes. Characterization is sacrificed for the sake of pointscoring. But the temps do make good points: “They gave us the jobs they didn’t want and asked us to thank them for it,” one notes. And the main point gets across firmly, and darkly: Stories have consequences, so be careful about whose story you trust.

‘Glory’ is satire with plenty of teeth

By COLETTE BANCROFT Tampa Bay Times

“Glory” by NoViolet Bulawayo; Viking (416 pages, $27) With its entirely nonhuman cast of horses, goats, donkeys, dogs, cats and cattle and its merciless focus on politics, NoViolet Bulawayo’s novel “Glory” is bound to evoke George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”for many readers.

But this is no reboot. Beyond those broad similarities, Bulawayo’s story is her own.

And just in case you don’t notice, one of her many memorable characters, Dr. Sweet Mother, a stylish and ambitious donkey who is the wife of the dictator of the fictional African nation of Jidada, makes the point clearly early in the book: “I’m standing here to address this nonsense right here right now, with Jidada itself and this sun over there as

my witnesses, and I’m saying: This is not an animal farm but Jidada with a -da and another -da! So my advice to you is, Stop it, and Stop it right now!”

NoViolet Bulawayo is the pen name of Elizabeth Zandile Tshele, who was born and raised in Zimbabwe and now lives in the United States. Her first novel, “We Need New Names,” in 2013 won the PEN/Hemingway award and a number of other prizes and was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize.

The plot of “Glory” echoes the history of Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe, who ruled the country for 40 years until a coup in 2017. His career followed an all-too-familiar trajectory, from anti-colonialist revolutionary to ruthless dictator, a political path found in nations around the globe.

Mugabe’s counterpart in “Glory” is the Old Horse, a

once-magnificent stallion whose grip on reality is starting to slip. It seems everyone in his inner circle is poised to take over the reins, especially Dr. Sweet Mother (although women don’t do politics in Jidada; these animals are quite sexist) and the vice president, Tuvius Delight Shasha, Tuvy for short, “an old horse, but not as old as the Father of the Nation.”

Tuvy proves to be a step ahead of Dr. Sweet Mother when the Old Horse is ousted in a military coup — the army is made up entirely of dogs — and Tuvy is declared interim president.

The first third of the book recounts that political upheaval, replete with bombastic speeches and secret meetings and lethal repression and a chorus of mordant commentary by the citizens of Jidada.

They’ve seen it all before but

hope maybe this time promises will be kept.

The book’s main character appears about a third of the way in, and at first glance she might look like she belongs in a children’s book: “the slim goat in the long white tunic dress and bright yellow tennis shoes, a black satchel on her back, dragging an oversize purple hard-shell suitcase along the longest road...”

But the young goat, whose name is Destiny Khumalo, has a complicated story. She’s returning to Jidada after fleeing the country a decade before, after an earlier round of political upheaval and terrible violence left her traumatized.

Since then, she’s had no communication with her mother, Simiso. When Destiny returns to their village, Lozikeyi, she learns that her mother was so overcome by grief at her only child’s

disappearance that she’s spent the time since wandering the streets.

Bulawayo skillfully deletes humans from the world of Jidada, right down to clever linguistic choices like “femal,” a portmanteau of “animal” and “female” used for animals who would be called

women if they were human, and its sly counterpart, “mal.”

Her four-legged animals often walk on their back legs, or “hind,” especially when they want to look imposing, like “a fancy-looking pig hinding to the platform.” (There are a few allusions to real-world human political figures, though, given unflattering animal avatars.)

“Glory” weaves Destiny’s return to her village and family together with Jidada’s politics as an utterly corrupt election looms. Her reconciliation with Simiso will bring mother and daughter to the revelation of horrifying secrets and the rediscovery of boundless love.

While the powerful whinny and bray and fly around the world on private jets, Jidada’s ordinary citizens suffer and die, and tweet hilarious threads smarter than any politician’s speech, and do the work of making life go on.

An author was set to read his unicorn book to students; the school forbade it

By JACLYN PEISER Washington Post

Jason Tharp wants to write books for weird kids — because he was one.

Growing up in Ohio, the 45-year-old children’s author, illustrator and inspirational speaker sometimes felt invisible. But as he battled feelings of loneliness, he found comfort in books.

Now, Tharp is on a mission to reach that “one kid” who needs to feel seen. So in 2017, he developed a character to remind his readers that it’s OK to be different.

“I sat down and tried to figure out what kind of character would be nonthreatening, that they will be instantly lovable and I would be able to kind of get them ... to be invested in the story,” Tharp said in an interview with The Washington Post.

“I was like, ‘Kids like unicorns.’”

But for one Ohio school district, Tharp’s book — featuring a blue and purple unicorn underneath a rainbow-colored title — was too controversial.

On April 6, as Tharp prepared to read “It’s Okay to Be a Unicorn!” to students the next day at an elementary school in the Buckeye Valley Local School District, north of Columbus, he got a call from the principal saying higher-ups didn’t want him reading the book.

“I just straight up asked him,

‘Does somebody think I made a gay book?’” Tharp said. “And he said, ‘Yes. ... The concern is that you’re coming with an agenda to recruit kids to become gay.’”

Jeremy Froehlich, the interim superintendent, did not respond to The Post’s request for comment. In an interview with WBNS, Froehlich said one parent visited his office on April 6, saying they were concerned about the book.

“They just wanted to make sure that we vetted the book and our staff thought that they had

vetted it,” he said.

Tharp’s event is the latest casualty in the culture war over children’s books. The selection of books available in schools has become a hot-button issue in recent years, with conflicts mainly arising for those referencing race and sexual orientation. In November, the American Library Association called the rate at which books are being challenged “unprecedented.”

Last month, an assistant principal at a Mississippi elementary school was fired after he

read the children’s book “I Need a New Butt!” to second-graders.

The superintendent argued that the book was inappropriate and that the assistant principal showed “impaired judgment” by reading it.

Tharp, who lives in Powell, Ohio, about 10 miles south of the Buckeye Valley Local School District, was originally scheduled to visit Buckeye Valley West Elementary in 2020, but the event was postponed because of the pandemic. The school rescheduled the visit for April 7, and administrators ordered over 500 copies of “It’s Okay to Be a Unicorn!” for students in anticipation of the event, Tharp said. The book follows Cornelius, a unicorn who hides his true identity because he lives among horses who don’t like unicorns. At the end, he reveals his true self and is accepted by everyone.

But on the morning of April 6, the principal at Buckeye Valley West called him to say the plans had changed — the superintendent didn’t want him to read the book.

“I was just shocked — and all from one parent,” said Tharp, who had been up until 3 a.m. that day signing the books.

“I never ran into an issue like this. ... I never in a million years thought I’d have to defend this book.”

Tharp offered to read a

different book, “It’s Okay to Smell Good!” about a skunk who lives in a stinky world but realizes he — unlike his peers — enjoys good-smelling things.

In the end, the skunk finds one friend who also likes nice smells, making him feel less alone.

“There’s no rainbows. No unicorns,” Tharp said.

But about 30 minutes after the call with the principal, he emailed Tharp, saying higherups didn’t want him reading that book, either. Instead, they wanted him to “continue to focus on your positive message and illustrations,” according to the email, which was reviewed

by The Post. Tharp did his presentation the following day, omitting any reference to the unicorn book.

News about Tharp’s visit spread quickly, angering parents who like the book and inspiring them to protest the superintendent’s decision. The school board held an emergency meeting on April 8 to address the controversy. Community members expressed frustration over the decision to stop Tharp from reading the unicorn book.

Kaylan Brazelton, a parent and educator at the elementary school, said teachers were told to take down drawings of rainbows and unicorns that students made in anticipation of Tharp’s visit. Photos reviewed

“It’s a rainbow. The fact that we had to take all of the students’ artwork down — it was gut-wrenching, and we couldn’t even believe we were in that position to do so, but we did what we were told,” Brazelton said at the board meeting, adding that the children “were so confused.”

Another parent teamed up with Tharp to start a GoFundMe to raise money for a free event next month where the author will read his unicorn book and share his story.

Tharp, who before the pandemic was speaking to about 40,000 to 50,000 students a year, is convinced that those who objected to the book never actually read it because it is clear there is no reference to the LGBTQ community.

“They are projecting their agenda [because] there is a rainbow ... on the back of the book,” Tharp said.

But the author, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor last year and is now in recovery, said he tries not to let people’s uninformed opinions consume him.

Want likes? Subscribers? Here’s how Social media influencers are sharing their tricks — for a fee

By CARLY WANNA Bloomberg

As a travel vlogger and social media influencer, Christina Galbato got a lot of messages from her online followers. They requested tips for hotels and restaurants, but many sought another kind of advice.

“A lot of what they were asking was: How can I do what you do?” the 29-year-old recalls.

That’s why Galbato launched “The Influencer Bootcamp,” 20 hours of prerecorded lessons in how others can monetize their social media presence. She charges $700 for a package that includes that course as well as other tools, such as sample email pitches and access to a members-only Facebook support group. Galbato says she’s on track to take in $4 million in revenue this year.

The influencer marketing business is already a $20 billion industry and one that’s projected to grow as social media users increase and brands seek out online talent to pitch their products on YouTube, Instagram and other sites. It’s such a big business, influencers are now selling courses to each other on a

Bridgerton From C3

It was early 2021, and the cook, food writer and early winner of “The Next Food Network Star” had just finished writing a 500-page in-house book on bartending and bar operations for Consortium Holdings, the San Diegobased hospitality group behind such high-impact dining and drinking spots as Born & Raised, Craft & Commerce, and Raised by Wolves.

A longtime lover of the novels of Austen and Charlotte Bronte, as well as an expert in cocktails and cocktail history, Finley came up with the idea of writing a book that combined the “Bridgerton” sensibility with her now-encyclopedic knowledge of all things boozy.

“That era was a really fruitful period for cocktails and a really amazing period in

variety of topics. Chefs with big followings give online cooking lessons.

Financial strategists peddle money planning tips. And others, like Galbato, teach about the art of viral marketing itself.

Courses vary in length and focus. Darius Moravcik, a 32-year-old technology entrepreneur who writes about online marketing under the name Darius Mora, documents his own journey as a TikTok personality and shows users how he boosted his follower count from zero to more than 35,000 in three months. Simple tricks — like posting often and

history,” Finley said from Burlington, Vt., where she moved to last year to work on her master’s in Food Systems at the University of Vermont.

“The trade routes were growing and the British Empire was growing, and that gave people access to spices and sugar and other commodities that they didn’t have before. And all of that was trickling into society and becoming currency. I thought this would be such a fun way to explore that historical moment and make some great drinks, too.”

The spirited result is “The Regency Book of Drinks,” which features more than 75 cocktail recipes, most of them original Finley creations. The book is divided into chapters inspired by “Bridgerton”-era society and the ladies and gentlemen who make that dizzy world spin.

In “The Evening Soiree” chapter, Finley — in the all-knowing voice of Lady Thornwood — extols the

consistently — can help users increase their followings, according to Moravcik.

“If you study the formula, anyone can do it,” he said.

Kristen Bousquet, a 28-year-old “influencer mentor” who created a course in January 2021, sells weekly live lessons as well as access to planning materials like organizational calendars and templates outlining how best to negotiate with potential sponsors. Like Moravcik, many of the lessons are easy to implement.

Bousquet advises her students to limit TikTok videos to 10 seconds

party-friendly power of “deceptively potent” Champagne-forward sparkling cocktails. The “Social Graces” chapter celebrates the crowdpleasing charms of the punchbowl, where dancing couples can refresh themselves (and perhaps spark a marriage match) over glasses of the “Accomplished Swoon,” featuring gin, raspberry syrup, lemon juice, rose water and seltzer.

There are low-alcohol options in the “Delicate Daytime Drinks” chapter and more potent “muscular” cocktails in the “For Members Only” section. There is even a chapter devoted to non-alcoholic beverages, many of them featuring fresh fruit juices and homemade simple syrups.

“I definitely wanted to include people who are not drinking,” said Finley, who also includes a section on parlor games, along with a chapter on the spirits, tools and glassware you’ll need to set up your

to increase the chance viewers will watch them multiple times, for example.

Prices for the courses also vary.

Moravcik sells his prerecorded class, including roughly eight hours of content, for under $40. Bousquet markets her ten-week course for just under $400. Galbato charges as much as $9,000 for six months of live coaching. Her premium offering comes with one-on-one support, as well as a two-day retreat with other students in the program. Her sales overall doubled last year, she said.

Successful online courses can diversify influencers’ incomes. “If you want to be a creator, you need to be doing multiple things,” says Mae Karwowski, chief executive officer of influencer marketing agency Obviously.

For TikTokers, multiple revenue streams can be especially important.

Creators like science commentator Hank Green and technology reviewer Safwan AhmedMia have publicly complained that TikTok underpays its influencers, especially relative to other sites such as YouTube. They allege that TikTok’s “Creator Fund” doesn’t offer enough resources to pay all of its successful content posters, especially as more people go viral on the platform. TikTok said its fund is just one way creators get compensated, and the social media app’s

Regency bar.

“During the pandemic, some of us were drinking too much, and some of us were swearing it off. There are so many lovely ways to use infusions and flavored syrups. We really wanted to have something for every type of drinker and every situation.”

Whether she is guiding her gentle readers through the making of a “cunning garnish,” or cautioning them about the dangers of underestimating a “sharp-tongued woman,” Finley’s science-loving, patriarchy-fighting, quip-loving Lady Thornwood is a gimlet-eyed narrator fit for Queen Charlotte.

And if you play your mixology cards right, perhaps the queen herself will drop in on your soiree for a sustaining snack. If Finley has her way, Queen Charlotte might even bring her own recipes.

“I love imagining a sequel to this book that would be told from Queen Charlotte’s point

of view, because she is an absolutely fascinating character to me,” Finley said. “I have this idea in my mind of calling it something like, ‘Comfort Me with Canapes: How to Live, Love and Eat Like a Regency Royal.’

“I can totally imagine another book with that Regency voice. I could use her as a character to get into food and drink.

And houseplants, maybe.”

Here’s a lovely and delightfully straightforward drink with which to toast the very mundaneness of a marriage that boasts no spectral patriarchs. Reader, before accepting a suitor’s ring, one should thoroughly exhaust the subject of their intended’s father— particularly if the relationship seems ... complicated.

Ice-cold seltzer Fill a highball glass nearly to the top with rocks cracked from a solid ice block, or 1-inch ice cubes, or a frozen spear of ice. Combine the aperitif, vermouth, lime juice and syrup in the base of a cocktail shaker. Add a medium-sized ice shard, lightly smashed into bits, or one or two cubes of ice; close the shaker and whip until the ice is nearly all melted. Add about 2 ounces seltzer to the shaker, then empty its contents, including any lingering ice, into the glass. If the cocktail doesn’t rise nearly to the glass rim, add no more than about an ounce additional seltzer.

Garnish with a pert bloom (or a lime wedge) and wellfounded relief.

Bring to boil over mediumhigh heat. Cover, reduce heat to low and poach until pears are tender but not mushy, about 35 minutes. Let pears cool to room temperature, then cover and chill for at least several hours or up to overnight.

Prepare vinaigrette: In a food processor, combine vinegar, citrus juices, shallot, mustard, mayo, honey and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Pulse until smooth, about 30 seconds.

With the machine running, add oil in a thin stream and process until emulsified.

Not all influencers have found online courses worthwhile, however.

A year and a half ago, social media strategist Caitlin Jenco paid $200 to take an Instagram management course.

“The information was generic and lacked value beyond what I could find on Google for free,” she said.

Jenco, who has over 110,000 followers on TikTok, describes herself as “anti-course.”

Instead of teaching online classes, she charges a monthly rate to consult with companies and individuals oneon-one. The fees range from $500 to $4,500, based on the clients’ needs.

Sometimes she can answer questions in an email or text message. Other students require a more substantial review of things like the scripts for videos.

“It’s very much tailored to where the creator is,” Jenco said.

While students risk wasting money, the social media teachers are ultimately increasing their own competition. Bousquet, the influencer mentor, sees that as a benefit, with more people negotiating higher fees from sponsors.

“I won’t have to fight with brands that don’t want to meet me at my rates because another influencer is OK doing it for free,’” she said.

Active time: 15 minutes | Total time: 25 minutes 2 servings Chinese sesame paste deep and nutty -and a spicy chili oil turn these simple noodles into something complex, savory and satisfying. If you can’t easily find the sesame paste, substitute tahini, and if you can’t easily find the black vinegar, use balsamic. The fun is in the choice of noodles: Mike Le and Stephanie Le, authors of “That Noodle Life,” suggest Shangxi planed noodles, ruffle-edged dried Chinese knife-cut noodles, but you can use any of your favorites.

Italian mafaldine (akin to long, skinny lasagna noodles) and long fusilli (shaped like a stretched-out telephone cord) also work well here. If you don’t like your sesame noodles spicy, use hoisin sauce in place of the chili oil.

Storage Notes: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days.

Where to Buy: Chinese sesame paste, black vinegar and Shangxi planed noodles can be found at well-stocked Asian supermarkets.

6 ounces long dried noodles, preferably curly or ruffled, such

as Shangxi planed noodles, mafaldine or long fusilli 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons Chinese sesame paste (may substitute tahini) 1 1/2 tablespoons chili oil, preferably with chili flakes included, such as Chinese chili crisp 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 2 teaspoons Chinese black vinegar (may substitute balsamic vinegar) 2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, for serving 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, for serving Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook the noodles according to the package directions. Reserve ¼ cup of the noodle cooking water and drain well.

While the pasta is cooking, in a large bowl whisk together the soy sauce, sesame paste, chili oil, sesame oil and black vinegar.

Add the drained noodles to the sauce, tossing to coat them well. Loosen the sauce with some of the noodle cooking water, if needed. Divide among serving plates, sprinkle with the scallions and sesame seeds and serve warm.
