CATSKILL — Sixteen months after county lawmakers authorized a $39 million bond for a new county jail, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced plans to amend an ambiguous law that will allow counties to share jails.

In his 2020 budget proposal Tuesday, Cuomo included an item to amend County Law 217 to read: “Each county shall continue maintain a county jail as prescribed by law,

provided, however, this section shall not prohibit counties from jointly maintaining a county jail pursuant to a shared services agreement.”

Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple supports the idea of sharing jails, his secretary Kim Desantis said Wednesday.

The Albany County Corrections and Rehabilitative Services Center’s current inmate population is 370, which is significantly fewer than its maximum occupancy of 1,040.

Two dozen inmates were

released under the state’s new bail reform law, Desantis said.

Columbia County Sheriff David Bartlett could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Greene County Sheriff Peter Kusminsky is awaiting further details on the proposed law before weighing in, he said Wednesday.

Greene County released three inmates due to the reforms, Kusminsky said.

Legislators propose abortion access fund

By Massarah Mikati Johnson Newspapers

ALBANY — On the 47th anniversary of the historic Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision, New York lawmakers gathered at the Capitol to push for the passage of a bill that would establish a fund for abortions.

The New York State Abortion Access Fund, sponsored by state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, D-34, would establish a fund that would provide logistical and financial support for women who cannot afford abortion care. If the legislation passes, taxpayers will be able to voluntarily contribute to the fund on their personal income tax returns by checking a box.

“This year we must take the next step in our fight for reproductive justice ... to ensure that access to abortion is not just a right under New York state law, but a reality,” Biaggi said at a press conference Wednesday.

The funds would be distributed by the state Department of Health through a grant process to nonprofit organizations, such as Planned Parenthood, to support operational and program expenses.

Legislators and advocates who spoke at the press conference said that while the state Legislature took a huge step toward reproductive justice last year with the passage of the Reproductive Health

Act, which codified Roe v. Wade into state law, many barriers to accessing safe and healthy abortion care faced by people who are lowincome, young, of color or undocumented remain.

Those obstacles include travel expenses, child care and the cost of the procedure itself, which starts at nearly $400, according to Planned Parenthood. “(Government) will pass fantastic legislation that does great things, without thinking about the fact that if you are poor and working class, often you can’t access that justice,” said Assemblywoman Catalina Cruz, D-39. “We can pass laws so we have safe abortion, but if you do not have the money, this

law does not benefit you.”

About one out of every four women will have an abortion by the age of 45, according to Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit organization that conducts reproductive health research. Studies have found that abortion mortality, or dying from an abortion procedure, is significantly dependent on whether there is access to legal abortion.

“Abortion is a medical procedure,” said the bill’s Assembly sponsor Karines Reyes, D-87. “We should treat it as such.”

Greene will participate in addiction summit

By Sarah Trafton Columbia-Greene Media

MARGARETVILLE — Experts in recovery services will be taking a look at the opioid crisis Friday in Greene, Sullivan, Ulster and Delaware counties.

The Addiction Action Summit will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the MTC Community Center on Academy Street in Margaretville. Spearheaded by Margaretville Hospital, the event is now in its second year. In addition to workshopping on various addiction-related issues, participants will be served complimentary breakfast and lunch.

“Individuals, families and communities all across the Catskills are severely affected by this crisis,” said Kenneth Oclatis, director of Outpatient Behavioral Health Services for WMCHealth. “We believe people in the communities themselves are the best source of ideas for developing the most

innovative approaches to reversing the crisis in our area.”

The number of opioid-related deaths in the Catskills Region is higher

than both the state and national averages, according to the Westchester Medical Center Health Network.

For example, Ulster County had 54 overdose deaths in New York in 2016, the highest in the state, while Delaware County had the highest rate of neonatal withdrawal, which is the result of exposing infants to opioids in-utero, according to the release.

Greene County had the highest heroin-overdose death rate in the state, outside New York City, in 2016, at 17.4 people for every 100,000, according to the release.

Sullivan and Ulster counties were among the highest in the state for overdose deaths in 2018, with 30 and 56 deaths, respectively, according to the release.

It took the Federal Bureau of Investigation about two months to unlock the Apple iPhone 11 that was seized from Lev Parnas, the indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani.

The Justice Department on Tuesday rebuffed allegations by a lawyer for Parnas that the government had delayed turning over the information extracted from his phone to “frustrate” his ability to comply with requests for the data from a congressional committee.

“First, Parnas declined to provide the password to his devices, which is of course his right, but which required the FBI to spend nearly two months unlocking the iPhone 11,” the government said in a letter to U.S. District Judge J. Paul Oetken in Manhattan.

Apple news websites reported last week that the FBI used Cellebrite software to unlock the iPhone. Apple declined to comment.

The FBI is still trying to unlock other password-protected devices seized from Parnas, according to the letter. Adding to the delay, Parnas’ attorney was unable to figure out how to open the extracted information on his

own computer, the U.S. said.

The lawyer, Joseph Bondy, told the judge last month that he would turn over the iPhone data and other documents subpoenaed by the House committee investigating President Donald Trump. Parnas is a Ukrainianborn U.S. citizen who’s charged

with illegally funneling foreign money into U.S. elections. He has pleaded not guilty and is out on bail.

Parnas had been working with Giuliani to dig up political dirt in Ukraine on Hunter Biden and his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, Trump’s top

Democratic rival in next year’s presidential election. Trump’s demand on a July phone call with Ukraine’s leader to announce an investigation into the Bidens prompted the impeachment inquiry in the U.S. The fact that the FBI was able to unlock the current model iPhone from Parnas may raise questions about claims by the Justice Department that the government needs Apple’s help to unlock two older model iPhones that belonged to the terrorist who killed three sailors at a U.S. Naval base in Florida last month.

Last week, Trump pressured Apple to unlock iPhones belonging to the Florida shooter.

The company has not helped the FBI enough to access data on the devices, according to U.S. Attorney General William Barr.

WASHINGTON — It would stand to reason that representatives and senators, dissuaded by the gridlock in Congress, would hesitate to introduce legislation.

After all, only 105 laws were enacted during 2019, a poor showing by historical standards.

But that’s not what happened last year. In fact, lawmakers are on a pace to introduce more bills and joint resolutions than they have since the 1970s, when Congresses routinely saw 20,000 or more introduced.

In 2019, they introduced 8,820 bills and joint resolutions, 23% more than they did in 2017, the first year of the prior Congress.

About 2 in 3 of the measures introduced in 2019 were in the House, an indication perhaps of a pent-up desire among Democrats now in the majority to put forward ideas that the previous GOP majority had bottled up.

also highlighted the fact that there was a large cadre of freshmen eager to make their marks.

Freshman representatives and senators introduced just under 1,000 bills and joint resolutions, about 11% of the total.

Of course, the 98 freshmen in this Congress (nine senators and 89 representatives) make

up almost one-fifth of the total number of lawmakers.

In 2017, freshmen introduced 434 measures, or about 6% of the total that year.

Still, the total of 105 laws enacted is among the lowest in this millennium, exceeding only the 72 new laws of 2013 and 81 of 2011. Given the large number of

Trump says he would ‘love’ for impeachment witnesses to appear

By Chris Megerian Los Angeles Times (TNS)

DAVOS, Switzerland — President Donald Trump on Wednesday blasted Democrats’ impeachment case and claimed that national security concerns were preventing administration officials from testifying.

“It’s a total hoax, it’s a disgrace,” he said at a news conference shortly before leaving the World Economic Forum here.

“They had no case, it’s a con job.”

Trump repeatedly described Democrats like Reps. Adam Schiff and Jerrold Nadler as “corrupt” and “sleazebags,” and he said his economic success had made them lose their minds.

“You know what’s driven them crazy? All of these record

numbers.”

Trump has repeatedly directed administration officials to defy subpoenas for documents and testimony, but he said Wednesday that he would “love to have” them appear before Congress.

However, Trump said, “it’s a national security problem.”

People like John Bolton, the former national security adviser, know too much about sensitive issues involving foreign policy to let them speak freely on Capitol Hill, he said.

Trump dismissed Lev Parnas, the indicted businessman who has been providing evidence to Congress, as a “groupie” who “shows up at fundraisers.”

On the other hand, he described Rudolph W. Giuliani,

who spearheaded the Ukraine scheme, as “one of the greatest crime fighters of the last 100 years” and a “high-quality person” who has been treated unfairly.

Trump expressed confidence in his legal team, particularly White House counsel Pat Cipollone, who has been in the television spotlight for the first time.

Trump said he was “very proud of the job he did” on the first day of the Senate trial.

Although White House aides have downplayed how much Trump will be monitoring the impeachment trial, the president left no doubt that he’ll be tuning in as he returns to Washington.

“I’ll be watching it,” he said.

bills introduced, this Congress is on track to enact a lower percentage of bills than any in modern times.

Robert Browning, Purdue University professor of communication and political science and C-SPAN Archives executive director, noted that divided government and the Senate focusing on confirming judicial and executive branch nominees are two reasons why so many bills have been stymied. “You don’t see the senators doing much,” he adds.

GREENPORT — A Columbia County man was charged with leading police on a foot chase after allegedly stealing merchandise from the Walmart on Fairview Avenue, Columbia County Sheriff David Bartlett said Tuesday.

Everett G. Rasso, 37, of Hudson, was charged with concealing and destroying physical evidence, a class E felony; and petty larceny and resisting arrest, both class A misdemeanors, according to a statement from Bartlett.

Columbia County 911 assigned the Everett G. Sheriff’s OfRasso fice after receiving a call from Walmart Loss Prevention Department employees at about 10:26 a.m., reporting that they had confronted a male individual leaving the store without paying for merchandise. The man fled from employees in the store.

Deputies learned from Walmart employees that the

man allegedly fled south into the woods behind the store.

A woman was also seen with the man prior to the alleged theft. Sheriff’s deputies, with assistance from state police, began a search of the wooded area around Walmart.

The woman, later identified as Kipp, was located at the Greenport Mobil Station and interviewed. A short time later, Rasso was apprehended behind the Game Stop in the Greenport Commons Plaza, according to the sheriff’s office.

Quashing rumors circulating on Facebook, Bartlett said no shots were fired and no weapon was involved in the incident.

Rasso and Kipp were issued appearance tickets.

They are scheduled to return to Greenport Town Court on Jan. 27 at 3:30 p.m.

Bartlett, in his statement, called the incident another great example of the state’s bail reform laws.

“This individual, after attempting to steal items from a local store, led police on a foot chase through the woods,” Bartlett said. “He was charged with a felony, while additionally tying up multiple law-enforcement resources that could have been better utilized in our community.”

Bartlett’s statements recalled those he gave Jan. 14

on social media, when he wrote, “Make no mistake; the votes that passed this legislation caused more New Yorkers to become victims of crime. That’s inexcusable. There should be consequences for such reckless actions.”

Investigating for the Sheriff’s Office were Undersheriff John Davi, Capt. John DeRocha, Senior Investigator William Foster, Sgt. Eli Fieser, Deputy Ryen Boehme and Deputy Andrew Horst.

NEW YORK — Continuing its long-standing efforts to expand and improve Minnewaska State Park, the Open Space Institute (OSI) announced the public phase of its campaign to support the park’s highly anticipated new, fourseason visitor center. The OSI-sponsored campaign is matching state resources in the building of a $6.1 million, 5,000 square foot visitor center at the park. To date, OSI has raised $2.65 million in gifts and grants toward its $3 million goal.

The campaign is led by OSI Trustee, Jennifer Cunningham, and longtime resident of the Shawangunks, Jim Ottoway, as campaign co-chairs. The fundraising effort focuses on features that will transform the visitor experience and expand access to and appreciation of the park for all audiences.

Included in OSI’s campaign is the creation of state-ofthe art, interactive exhibits highlighting the park’s unique geology, natural history, cultural significance, and conservation.

“I am honored to co-chair and support this campaign, which will enhance the Minnewaska experience for generations to come,” said Cunningham. “We look to the community of friends and neighbors who have been touched by the park’s beauty to join with us and help create a long needed and well-deserved visitor gateway.”

“From the park’s establishment, when those who loved its precious sky lakes, cliffs, and historic carriage roads rallied to ensure its protection, it has needed a central welcoming location,” said Ottoway.

In addition to Jennifer Cunningham and Jim Ottoway, leading private support for the Minnewaska Visitor Center has been provided from a broad array of contributors, including: The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Bob Anderberg and Elaine LaFlamme, Brooks & Brooks Land Surveyors, Bruderhof, Butler Conservation Fund, Friends of the Shawangunks, Hugh Neil Zimmerman, Jane W. Nuhn Charitable Trust, Samuel Freeman Charitable Trust, Rich Gottleib of Rock and Snow, Stewart’s and Dake Family, Robin and Giorgios Vlamis, and Lucy Waletzky.

Creation of the Visitor Center is a public-private effort with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), with OSI spearheading a private

fundraising campaign. Included in OSI’s commitment is the development of the building’s educational and interpretive offerings.

The Campaign for Minnewaska Visitor Center is accepting donations and offering opportunities to support the project in the form of exhibit sponsorships, legacy gifts, and gallery naming opportunities. The gift options will be prominently featured in the center’s final design. For more information and to donate to the campaign visit: www. minnewaskavisitorcenter. org Known for its dramatic cliffs, crystal clear sky lakes, and roaring waterfalls, Minnewaska State Park welcomes more than half a million visitors each year and has a huge impact on the economy as a tourist destination and local natural resource.

Since it was first protected and opened to the public, this popular destination has operated without a central location for the public to launch their excursions into the 24,000-acre park

and miles of carriage roads and trails. The new park visitor center will provide restroom facilities, potable water and a place to ask questions or get hiking and biking tips from park staff.

Once complete, the Minnewaska Visitor Center will offer: a welcome information desk to help visitors explore the park’s expansive trail network and other features; drinking water stations and public restrooms; a warming hearth to complement the use of the park during cold months; an outdoor patio overlooking Lake Minnewaska where visitors can take in the park’s dramatic views; and a classroom for education and interpretative programs.

Over the past four decades, OSI has protected nearly 33,000 acres on and along the Shawangunk Ridge in Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster counties—including doubling the size of Minnewaska State Park Preserve. Here, OSI is also supporting the creation of a local rail trail network, rebuilding Minnewaska’s Victorian-era carriage roads, working with New York State Parks to add a visitor center to Minnewaska and, in partnership with the Wallkill Valley Land Trust, restored the Rosendale Trestle. This work, achieved with the support of local partners and generous donors has expanded parkland, created trails, preserved local viewsheds, and protected venerable farmland and wildlife habitats.

OUR VIEW

Medicaid pivotal in budget presentation Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s annual budget proposals have a way of hitting on important and even urgent topics with dramatic effect, but imprinting question marks on the little details that provoke politically charged debates in Albany.

The governor’s $178 billion proposal increases spending around 2% over 2019, and includes legislation and funding allocated for infrastructure, environmental initiatives and Medicaid — all worthy endeavors, to be sure. Aid for schools comes in at a modest 3% increase, but at least the majority of funding is aimed at high-need

schools.

In parts of the presentation Tuesday, Cuomo sounded as if he wants to have it both ways by being progressive and fiscally sound. “The answer,” the governor said, “is to reduce the level of growth, not cuts.” The greatest concern to small local governments in Greene and Columbia counties will surely be Medicaid funding, which makes up about $4 billion of the state’s projected $6.1 billion deficit, a gap Cuomo hopes to close this year. But in his Jan. 8 State of the State address, Cuomo hinted the state could potentially shift Medicaid costs back

onto localities, spreading alarm and outrage among elected leaders.

New York’s $80 billion Medicaid program is shouldered by the federal government, the state and its counties. While Washington funds about 50% of the cost, localities paid a smaller share of $7.6 billion of the remaining cost in 2019, leaving the state to cover the remaining $32.4 billion. Columbia and Greene county residents are fed up with high taxes partly caused by Medicaid. It’s incumbent upon the state and the counties to keep spending under control in the coming year.

ANOTHER VIEW

An extraordinary expansion of power (c) 2020, The Washington Post

Senate Republicans on Tuesday were laying the groundwork for a truncated trial of President Donald Trump that would be a perversion of justice.

Proposals by Democrats to obtain critical evidence were voted down. Unless several senators change their positions, votes to acquit Trump on the House’s charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress could come as soon as next week without any testimony by witnesses or review of key documents. That would be unprecedented compared with previous presidential impeachments. It would gravely damage the only mechanism the Constitution provides for checking a rogue president.

Yet the rigging of the trial process may not be the most damaging legacy of the exhibition Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is orchestrating in full collaboration with the White House. That might flow from the brazen case being laid out by Trump’s lawyers. The defense brief they filed Monday argues that the president “did absolutely nothing wrong” when he pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch in-

vestigations of Joe Biden and a Russian-promoted conspiracy theory about the 2016 election. It further contends that Trump was entirely within his rights when he refused all cooperation with the House impeachment inquiry, including rejecting subpoenas for testimony and documents. It says he cannot be impeached because he violated no law.

By asking senators to ratify those positions, Trump and his lawyers are, in effect, seeking consent for an extraordinary expansion of his powers. An acquittal vote would confirm to Trump that he is free to solicit foreign interference in the 2020 election and to withhold congressionallyappropriated aid to induce such interference. It would suggest that he can press foreign leaders to launch a criminal investigation of any American citizen he designates, even in the absence of a preexisting U.S. probe, or any evidence.

The defense would also set the precedent that presidents may flatly refuse all cooperation with any congressional inquiry, even though the House’s impeachment power is spelled out in the Constitution. And it would establish that no president may be impeached unless he or

she could be convicted of violating a federal statute - no matter the abuse of power. Those are principles that Republicans will regret if they conclude that a Democratic executive has violated his or her oath of office. Yet Trump demands they adopt his maximalist position regardless of the consequences.

We know that many Republican senators do not accept this unacceptable defense. Some, such as Rob Portman of Ohio, Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Susan Collins of Maine, have publicly criticized Trump for calling on Ukraine or China to investigate Biden. Portman and Toomey have taken the position that Trump’s behavior was wrong but not worthy of impeachment - a response that would, at least in theory, preserve some guardrails on the president’s behavior.

Trump’s defense is designed to destroy those guardrails. If Republican senators go along with it, they will not only be excusing behavior that many of them believe to be improper. They will be enabling further assaults by Trump on the foundations of American democracy.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘To stay here and disobey God — I can’t afford to take the consequence.’

AMANDA SMITH

What provocations have provoked in Spain MADRID — Two Spanish factions — the far left, whose agenda includes cultural aggression, and Catalonia’s secessionists — are playing with fire. Santiago Abascal is the fire.

His party’s name — Vox (Voice) — proclaims that it exists to speak for those who think that their beliefs have become not just embattled but unutterable. Those beliefs — about nationalism, marriage, immigration, schooling and even bullfighting and hunting — have lost ground in the democratic competition of Spain’s rowdy marketplace of ideas. This does not assuage their sense of grievance because they think the public forum unfairly privileges other voices. Sound familiar, America?

Vox is a counteroffensive that probably will, and perhaps should, mostly fail in cultural matters. But the party might serve Spain’s democratic stability as a safety valve for venting disappointments.

Normal political preoccupations — economics, health care, etc. — have been for Vox markedly less salient than the challenge to Spain’s unity coming from one of Spain’s 17 regions. In the 2016 general election, Vox won just 0.2% of the vote. But Catalonia’s illegal independence referendum of October 1, 2017, ignited indignation that propelled Vox from the fringe to the center of Spanish politics.

Today it has the third-most seats in parliament.

With piercing eyes, a trim beard and a rapid-fire delivery of his molten convictions, Abascal, 43, has the charisma of indignation incarnate. His bodyguards now function partly to fend off enthusiastic supporters, but he has had protection since he was 18 and his parents were targeted

by Basque separatists who burned their store. Basque terrorists killed more than 850 people in a failed campaign to fracture the nation.

Striding across his office to this nation’s flag, he explains Spain’s longstanding unity as attested

WASHINGTON POST

GEORGE F.

WILL by the flag’s complex coat of arms. No nation’s politics are more history-haunted than Spain’s. An early clash of civilizations between Christendom and Islam occurred on the Iberian peninsula. As Tobias Buck writes in his 2019 book “After the Fall: Crisis, Recovery and the Making of a New Spain,” Spain’s golden age was 500 years ago. Spain’s 19th century began with the Napoleonic wars’ hideous carnage and ended with the humiliation of the SpanishAmerican war of 1898. The viciousness of the 1936-39 civil war was followed by the suffocation of politics, and as Buck says, when the dictator Francisco Franco died in 1975, “Spain formed part of Europe in geographical terms only.”

Today, Spain has the Eurozone’s fourth largest economy, with a per capita income approaching Italy’s.

Spain’s population of 40 million in 1999 became 47 million by 2010, almost entirely because of immigration: Non-Spaniards increased eightfold, from 750,000 to 5.75 million — from 2% to more than 12% of the population, an amazing influx amazingly well accommodated. The percentage of Spaniards wanting fewer immigrants is Europe’s lowest; the percentage wanting more is Europe’s highest. If Vox were primarily selling xenophobia, it would not matter.

Here, as in America, schools cause resentments: Abascal seethes about the way he says young Spaniards are taught their nation’s history as a series of atrocities and debacles — that Iberia was harmonious until the 700-year Christian

“Reconquista” against Islam; Spain’s overseas undertakings brought only disease and despoliation to the New World; all was well in the 20th century until the military and the right rose against the republic in 1936.

Many of Abascal’s rhetorical flights — against the European Union’s “globalists” (although Vox does not advocate Spain exiting the EU), against Spaniards “threatening to impoverish and Islamicize us,” against “supremacist feminism,” etc. — do not resonate with the nation’s temperate majority. And the leader of the impeccably respectable center-right People’s party has accused Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of being “the Trojan Horse” to “destroy the state” because Sanchez this month formed his coalition government relying on Catalan and Basque separatist parties. His main coalition party is as far left as Vox is right.

Like many evangelical Christians recoiling against American cultural ferments, many Vox voters are disoriented by Spain’s transformation, which has been swift and accompanied by minimal rancor. Spain was among the first nations to adopt same-sex marriage — in 2005, and not, as in the United States in 2015, by judicial fiat but by legislation.

Spain abolished capital punishment before France did.

Abascal is not the cause of Spain’s social fissures any more than Donald Trump caused America’s.

In democracies, when a substantial faction of voters has been provoked, this will bring forth provocative leaders. But temperate Spain is not dry tinder that will catch fire from sparks coming off Abascal’s flinty persona.

George was born on July 8th, 1927 in Jicin, Czech Republic where he graduated from high school. He went on to study at Charles University in Prague.

With the Communist takeover in 1948, George made a harrowing escape to the West landing in Canada. After working as a lumberjack and in a nickel smelter, he enrolled at the University of British Columbia where he earned a doctorate in chemistry and metallurgy. For the next 40 years George worked for metals and pharmaceutical companies in the New York area and Switzerland.

A resident of Windham for the past 40 years, George fully

enjoyed the nature and healthy lifestyle of the local area. Often he could be seen biking on the country roads, hiking on the Windham trails or skiing on Windham mountain. George lived life to its fullest and his warmth and sense of humor will be greatly missed by his family and friends. He leaves behind his wife Gisela of Windham; his daughters Lisa of Toronto, Canada and Jane of Paris, France; and, his grandchildren Rayan Kezouit, Milan Kezouit, Sarah Ravoth and Jesse Ravoth.

George was predeceased by his father Frantisek, his mother Maria and his brothers Frank and Miroslav.

A gathering to celebrate George’s life will be held on Wednesday, January 29th from 4-6 pm at the Ze wine bar in Windham.

House managers present their case in Senate impeachment trial of Trump John Wagner, Felicia Sonmez and Colby Itkowitz The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — House managers, led by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., began presenting three days of opening arguments Wednesday in the historic Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Schiff, D-Calif., opened his argument for convicting Trump by quoting founding father Alexander Hamilton, who once imagined a scenario in which a future president would put his own interests before that of the nation.

Quoting Hamilton - though clearly seeking to draw a parallel with Trump - Schiff described “a man unprincipled in private life, desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits, despotic in his ordinary demeanor, known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty.”

To protect from that kind of leader, Schiff said, the founders created impeachment as a safeguard.

“This solemn action, for only the third time in history, because Donald J. Trump, the 45th president of the United States, has acted precisely as Hamilton and his contemporaries feared,” Schiff said.

Trump was impeached by the House last month. He is accused of withholding military aid and a White House meeting to pressure Ukraine to investigate former vice president Joe Biden, a political rival, as well as his son Hunter Biden.

Senate Chaplain Barry Black kicked off Wednesday’s Senate trial proceedings with prayer, just hours after Chief Justice John Roberts admonished the House managers and the White House defense

team for their escalating rhetoric.

“Help them remember that patriots reside on both sides of the aisle, that words have consequences, and that how something is said can be as important as what is said,” Black said. “Give them a civility built upon integrity that brings consistency in their beliefs and actions.”

Afterward, those in the chamber rose for the Pledge of Allegiance, and the trial resumed.

Under rules for the trial adopted by the Senate early Wednesday morning after a marathon session, both the House managers and Trump’s lawyers will have 24 hours to present their cases, spread over three days.

On Tuesday, Republicans turned back repeated Democratic efforts to subpoena documents and witnesses that the Democrats insisted would be key in proving whether Trump abused the

powers of the presidency when he asked Ukraine for political investigations.

Under the rule adopted by the Senate along party lines, decisions about witnesses will be delayed until after both sides make their presentations and senators have a chance to submit written questions.

Earlier in the day, Trump said at a news conference in Switzerland that he “can live either way” with the Senate’s decision on whether to call witnesses in a trial focused on his administration’s conduct toward Ukraine.

But Robert Ray, a member of Trump’s legal team, said Wednesday that its position is that the Senate dosn’t need to hear from witnesses.

“But, of course, if they do, it has to be fair and it has to be done fairly to both sides,” Ray added during an appearance on Fox News.

Meanwhile, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a leading ally of

Trump, told The Washington Post in an interview Wednesday that 45 Republicans are ready to dismiss the charges against the president and said he would keep pushing to rally a majority of GOP senators to end the impeachment trial.

“There are 45, with about five to eight wanting to hear a little more,” Paul said. “I still would like to dismiss it, but there aren’t the votes to do it just yet.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said earlier Wednesday that the Senate trial is proceeding “with a cloud hanging over it” because of the repeated rejection of Democratic-backed amendments to the rules to allow witnesses and review documents.

“It was a dark day and a dark night for the Senate,” Schumer said of Tuesday’s hearing at a news conference where he was joined by Democratic colleagues.

Harvey Weinstein used his ‘power FUNERAL and prestige’ to prey on women, DIRECTORS prosecutor says as trial opens Shayna Jacobs The Washington Post

NEW YORK — Harvey Weinstein used his “power and prestige” in the film industry to bully women he sexually assaulted into silence, his crimes spanning decades, prosecutors said at the beginning of his trial Wednesday.

Weinstein lived “a lavish lifestyle that most of us will never know,” but trial evidence “will also show that man was a sexual predator and rapist,” Assistant District Attorney Meghan Hast told a captivated jury in the trial’s first moments. The proceedings are expected to last two months.

Hast said Weinstein attacked three women - in 2013, 2006 and 1993 or early 1994.

The prosecutor put photos on the screen - of Weinstein smiling for cameras on the red carpet and of the women he allegedly abused.

“At the end of this trial, the evidence will be clear that the man seated right there was not just a titan in Hollywood; he was a rapist, sexually assaulting these women when they refused to comply with his desires and his orders and then using his power and prestige in the entertainment industry to ensure their silence.”

Finally, Hast said, “These women will have their voices heard.”

Actress Annabella Sciorra, one of the victims, was allegedly blindsided when Weinstein showed up at her apartment as she was readying for bed one night in the 1990s.

“He pinned her arms above her head and despite her verbal and physical attempts to stop him, he continued to hold her down ... and raped her,” Hast said.

Sciorra was shaking as the unwanted encounter continued and the “Sopranos” star was tormented for decades by Weinstein’s attack.

“It took 25 years before she was able to confront her nightmare and tell her story,” Hast said.

Opening statements started Wednesday morning in front of a packed house of reporters, attorneys and members of the public. A line to get into New York State Supreme Court in Lower Manhattan started forming in the early morning hours.

The judge spent about 20 minutes instructing jurors on their obligations concerning evidence and testimony.

“Throughout these proceedings, the defendant is presumed to be innocent,” Justice James Burke said.

Weinstein, 67, is accused of forcing a sex act on his onetime production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006 and raping another woman in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013.

He faces the most time in prison on the top counts, predatory sexual assault, which covers a pattern of sexual misconduct and includes the Sciorra rape charge. If convicted on those charges, he could face 10 years to life in prison.

The former filmmaking powerhouse entered the courtroom around 9:15 a.m. without the aid of the walker

he has been using for several weeks following a recent back surgery.

A reporter in the hallway asked if he’d “get a fair trial” as he made his way down the 15th-floor hallway into the crowded courtroom.

“Of course,” Weinstein said, ignoring other questions shouted in his direction. Entering the courtroom, he limped down the center aisle and latched onto the arm of one of his handlers.

“We’re going too fast,” Weinstein said. “I have to sit down.”

Weinstein’s trial started on Jan. 6, and jury selection spanned two weeks.

Although the sides were originally going to select six alternate jurors, they settled on three rather than going through detailed questioning, a process known as voir dire, of another set of 20 prospects.

It remains to be seen whether the relatively small number of alternates will present a problem. Should a juror have an emergency illness or unforeseen conflict, it could potentially derail the case.

Weinstein came under fire in October 2017 when investigations published in the New York Times and the New Yorker prompted scores of women to accuse him of sexual assault and sexual harassment spanning decades.

Allegations against Weinstein are credited with igniting the #MeToo movement.

‘Little Women’ review

By Lula Anderson For Columbia-Greene Media

Welcome to the big storm that really didn’t happen.

We, thankfully, got enough cold weather to enable the slopes to make snow for the weekend. Mother Nature helped by giving us some natural covering, but really not what we could use. At least the boys are working steadily this winter. I really can’t believe how many people on social media are pushing winter and starting the countdown to spring. Come on people, one snowstorm does not a winter make. We live in an area that has four seasons. We are in the winter season now, can we appreciate it instead of wishing our lives away?

I mentioned I was going through old photos I had found. With all of the interest in genealogy, I decided on my new project. I want to separate all of my pictures into families, and write a little about each person in the pictures. I would like to make up albums for each family and give them their own history. When we get information online, we just get generalities. I’m hoping to give memories. Better get crackin’ before I forget.

A group of seniors got together Wednesday for lunch at the Senior Nutrition Center in Jewett. Salisbury steak was on the menu and it was very enjoyable. My companions decided that we would like to make this a regular thing — a chance for friends to get together, be waited on, talk and eat a nourishing meal, all for the grand price of $4 a meal.

Two stipulations: you must be 60 or older, and you must call at least the day ahead to schedule. All food is cooked on the premises, and Gail has to know how much to cook.

Come join us. We’re thinking Wednesday would be the perfect day to meet. Several of my friends started going “just once” and liked it so much, they go a few times a month.

The Ecumenical Stations of the Cross will be presented at the Ashland Church on March 31. It is such a moving service, a wonderful Lenten observance. If you want to participate as a reader, please call me 518-734-5360, or Deacon Peter. Leave a message at St. Theresa’s for him. Preparing

for a Station enables you to dig into the meaning of the crucifixion and death of Jesus, and lets you voice your feelings towards the beginnings of Christianity.

Don’t forget this month’s CommUnity Meal at St. Theresa’s on Jan. 25. Good food, good conversations, good fellowship.

Get your reusable bags ready to go. On March 1, New York state is taking the next step to end landfill overfill. It sounds harder than it is. The ban went into effect in Ulster County last year, and my friend Jay was one of the biggest opponents. He works in a grocery store, and was having trouble bringing his groceries out, until he decided to keep a bag or two folded in his backpack. He empties it, and it goes back in. His comment to his neighbor was that there are no longer bags blowing around the neighborhood, getting caught in the trees, making it look like Halloween all year long. One small step.

AS I REMEMBER IT “Little Women,” the movie, was showing last weekend, so of course we went. The show was great and enjoyed by our group of 10.

It was a reflection of life in the Civil War era. Not the Southern Mansion genre, but life as we would have lived. It is a story of four sisters who lived like sisters — the sisterly rivalry, the fights, the “I’m never going to talk to you again” competitions. In one scene the girls go skating, and one falls through and who saves her? The one she was fighting with. Because of a big fight, Beth goes, on her own, to take care of a family where she contracts scarlet fever. Jo was supposed to go, but it was a nasty day, and she was reading. Jo felt so guilty she put aside all of her hard feelings and doctored her sister.

I remember when I contracted scarlet fever. My father was in Whitehall, or somewhere in that area, delivering horses. When he came home he couldn’t get in the house.

We were all quarantined, and he had to live with his mother until it was lifted. George said he was sick, but did a lot of faking.

The next memorable scene

was when Jo was getting Meg ready to go to the big ball at the neighbors. The girls decided they should use a curling iron to be fashionable. The iron was so hot it burned the hair right off Meg’s head. Does anyone else have curling iron scars? I know I do.

So many family memories surfaced during the movie.

The family gatherings, helping our neighbors who were less fortunate. With all of the friends, though, you can never separate from your family.

Your brothers and sisters are always special.

In grade school, the desks and chair were attached. The desk top lifted up to store your books. The books were used forever, but they were in good condition. Sometimes the “sign your name” area went on to the next page, so many people had used it. We had to cover them with a brown paper bag the first day we got them, and the cover would be replaced periodically.

Learning how to cover a book was a lesson unto itself.

You measured with it closed, then had to open the book to make sure the cover fit, folding in the pockets just so. We kept our homework assignments in the pockets so they wouldn’t get lost. We sat in rows, but didn’t get to choose our own seats. It was alphabetical order. So, Artimus and Naomi Barnum were in the front, next, Evva and Morris Decker, followed by Beatrice and Merrill DeLong, Florence, George and me (the Holdridges), and Lemuel Vining was always last. You couldn’t even escape from your siblings in school. That also meant that unless all told the same fib, you couldn’t lie about your day to your parents.

Today, I wish I could be with them all once again. I would enjoy being able to argue over stupid things. I would love to fight over the ownership of toys, whose turn it was to set the table, and who has to wash the dishes. My sister, Flo, became a hairdresser, and like Jo did to Meg, she plucked, painted, bleached my hair and put me through the paces. I was her guinea pig. My brother George, joined the Army and went to Germany.

Time and tide separated us, but the memories remain.

Get well, birthdays and snow

By Abby and Gabby For Columbia-Greene Media

PRATTSVILLE — Want to start the column with a big “get well” shout out to Hank Oliver. Got our Hank mixed up with another Hank, who also is not doing well. Hank Oliver was hospitalized for one week with pneumonia and the flu. He is now home and under the care of wife Ann. Not to let him suffer alone, Ann decided to catch a cold. She also is now feeling better and in good spirits.

Have never seen these two in a bad mood or even saying they are not feeling well.

Special good health wishes to them.

To continue health news, Anita Creazzo is still house bound but she feels she is showing progress. Anita always liked to get out and socialize but has not been able to do that since before Christmas. Time for some visiting time, Anita. She likes phone calls, too. Her husband Al continues to provide TLC and he is appreciated. Anita’s and Al’s family were due to visit this past week but with the threat of snow, the visit was cancelled. Pat Bifolco could also use some feel better wishes.

Johannes Krauss and Bob Gurley made the long and

cold trip to New Baltimore for the Greene County American Legion meeting. Then on Saturday the two Legionnaires took their wives to the department commander’s dinner at the Captain’s Inn. Guests traveled from all over New York state so some were edgy when the snow moved in. If you have been to the Captain’s Inn, you know the dining room windows overlook the valley for a spectacular view, including the snow. But no travel worries.

But with the extreme cold, snow was made at the ski slopes and, along with natural snow, they are in full winter mode. With the three-day weekend, they probably had a successful weekend.

The Hudson Mohawk Chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society, noon concert Feb. 11 at Proctors Theatre, Main Stage, 432 State St., Schenectady. John Wiesner and Claudia Bracaliello will be playing the 3 manual Wurlitzer theatre organ named “Goldie.” The concert is free and midday, so no one has to drive after dark. If you are able to park in the parking garage there are free passes.

It would be so good to see the new seats in the theatre being used for a larger audience.

These concerts are held once

a month until June. The next one will be March 3. Wouldn’t some sort of public transportation or ride sharing be great for these special concerts?

Sue Huggins said she and hubby Alan are in their renovated home. The rehab is not complete but it is better than a camper and the ongoing work is more convenient. Sue relayed the news that Alan’s health, an issue because of four different kinds of tick bites, is improving. We all know the hazard of tick bites and it is hard to believe but we will soon be outdoors in the spring and watch out for all types of ticks.

On Jan. 24 we wish the following group happy birthday — Dave Murphy, Skip Marquit, Pat Bifolco and Jill Piccoli. On Jan. 26 we wish Adrianna Breigle a happy birthday. On Jan. 27 it is happy birthday to Brandon Grant, son of Sandi Rion. On Jan. 30 we send happy birthday wishes to Jamison Rikard.

We saved the best for last — happy birthday to our Jim Eisel of Jim’s Great American fame, on Jan. 30.

We need your news — birthdays, anniversaries, events, milestones, visitors, and all. Send to gurleyrv@gmail.com or call 518-2993219.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Solo exhibition ‘After the Storm’: Works by Kristen DeFontes CATSKILL — CREATE Council for Resources to Enrich the Arts, Technology & Education (formerly the Greene County Council on the Arts) is pleased to announce a new solo exhibition, “After the Storm,” featuring the work of local artist Kristen DeFontes.

The exhibition will be open to the public from Jan. 25 to March 7, with an opening reception on Saturday, Jan. 25, from 3- 5 p.m., in the CREATE’s Catskill gallery, 398 Main Street in Catskill.

On Aug. 28, 2011, Hurricane Irene swept into the rivers of Schoharie County, which flooded the region and left behind a trail of damage in its wake. Nine years later, Schoharie Countybased artist Kristen DeFontes has curated a selection of objects that explore the immense effect of the extreme flooding she witnessed personally and

“Storm Window” by Kristen DeFontes

in her community. Using construction debris, stone, natural wood and cast bronze elements, DeFontes creates sculptures that consider the effects of not only the storm, but also personal familial conflicts and broader environmental issues. Many

of these materials are salvaged from her own home, which was gravely affected by Hurricane Irene.

“These sculptural pieces embody emotional responses and coping mechanisms,” DeFontes said of her work. “Composed

using construction debris, the pieces hold power; not only in the symbolic sense, but in the way they provide a tangible link between past and present.

When working on these pieces, I think about the loss and transfer of that power, and the primal need to protect it.”

Kristen DeFontes grew up on Long Island and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the School of Art + Design at Purchase College, where she concentrated in printmaking and sculpture. While earning her undergraduate degree, DeFontes worked in exhibitions at the Neuberger Museum of Art. She earned a Master of Arts from Brooklyn College, where she studied drawing under Elizabeth Murray and continued her studies in printmaking, drawing and sculpture.

Toni Morrison Tribute kicks off NYS WRITERS INSTITUTE SEASON ON FRIDAY, JAN. 24 ALBANY — The NYS Writers Institute hosts “A Tribute to Toni Morrison” at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24, at Page Hall on the UAlbany downtown campus, 135 Western Avenue, Albany.

The event will include a screening of the 2019 documentary “The Pieces I Am” and a panel discussion about her life and legacy. The event is free and open to the public.

“Toni Morrison spent five years as a faculty member at the University at Albany in the 1980s, where she forged a special

connection to the NYS Writers Institute,” said Paul Grondahl, director of the NYS Writers Institute. He interviewed Morrison when he was a Times Union reporter in 1987.

Grondahl will moderate the discussion following the documentary screening. Speakers will include: - Janell Hobson, professor and chair of the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at UAlbany; - Kyra Gaunt, assistant professor of music and theatre at

UAlbany; - Suzanne Lance, retired associate director of the Writers Institute and former assistant to Toni Morrison at UAlbany; and, - Maureen McCoy, professor emerita of English at Cornell University, novelist and former Schweitzer Fellow under Toni Morrison at UAlbany.

The Nobel Prize-winning author died at age 88 on Aug. 5, 2019, in New York City. In the 1980s, she shared office space and collaborated frequently with Writers Institute founder

William Kennedy.

Morrison addressed a packed audience at UAlbany in 1984, just the second featured writer in the Institute’s history. She also wrote parts of “Beloved,” one of the most acclaimed novels in all of American literature, while at UAlbany, and the news of her Pulitzer Prize in 1988 came with a phone call to the Institute’s office.

Antics and anxiety in ‘Jojo Rabbit’

By Raymond Pignone Columbia-Greene Media

Taika Waititi’s “JoJo Rabbit” (nominated for several Academy Awards and reissued to theaters) is about the comically warped adventures of a 10-yearold Nazi and his imaginary friend, a fellow named Adolf Hitler.

The picture manages to be compassionate, vivid, razorsharp and often hilarious.

Waititi finds a near-perfect angle to tell his fable. He fumbles when the picture goes over the top, but he keeps the narrative mostly precise and on track.

“JoJo Rabbit” turns the fascists into clods and fools, yet it gets serious when it depicts how easily these true believers can infect an entire nation.

Waititi wrote the script of “Jojo Rabbit” — loosely based on the 2004 novel “Caging Skies”

by Christine Leunens — in 2010, five years before he made the masterful “What We Do in the Shadows,” a fresh take on the vampire genre that blended comedy and horror into a satisfying whole.

Set during the final days of World War II when everyone except the Nazis knew defeat

A scene from the movie “Jojo Rabbit.”

was at hand, the plot follows Johannes “JoJo Rabbit” Betzler (Roman Griffin Davis), a young Third Reich fanatic who admits he is “massively into swastikas.”

Desperate to prove his value to Germany’s Hitler Youth, he absorbs and spouts back every outrageous piece of propaganda fed to him by his adult officers. He also creates a makebelieve Hitler (played by Waititi) who is both playmate and life coach in an attempt to replace his father, who has disappeared on the Italian Front.

Waititi turns this Fuhrer into a caricature meant to depict how

a gullible little boy interprets a cruel dictator’s promises and fabrications. “Stay loyal to me and you’ll be cool,” he tells JoJo. Waititi’s Hitler parody is the movie’s court jester, leaping and bouncing. At times, though, he puts us in a state of anxiety even as we laugh at his antics. It’s a stark reminder that his childlike behavior hides his true evil.

Davis, who gives a remarkable debut performance, is up to the challenge his director sets.

His JoJo smoothly alternates bratty outbursts with innocent pangs of remorse. He sees this ruined world as his playground,

and his energy drives the picture.

“JoJo Rabbit” is grounded by Waititi’s loony, freewheeling humor and he makes the obligatory nods to the satirized Nazis of the pictures of Mel Brooks, Charlie Chaplin and Ernst Lubitsch, and even the slapstick fascists of The Three Stooges’ shorts. But here the comedy is deployed to humanize the characters, to depict how easily fascism corrupts an impressionable society. Self-delusion or self-indulgence is everywhere.

Capt. Klenzendorf (Sam Rockwell) may drunkenly thumb his nose at Nazi ideology and boast about the glories of war, but he is just as complicit in evil as all the others.

The only characters exempt from this are Rosie (Scarlett Johansson), JoJo’s mother who pivotal in a brilliantly executed plot twist, and Elsa (Thomasin McKenzie), the Jewish teen she is hiding in the crawlspace of her late daughter’s bedroom. When they share their dreams of a better life, the satire gives way to sparkle, and “JoJo Rabbit” offers faint hope that the world can be a playground.

CALENDAR LISTINGS TSL MOVIES JANUARY 23 JANUARY 30 n Judy — Winter 1968: Showbiz

legend Judy Garland (Renée Zellweger) arrives in Swinging London to perform in a sell-out run at The Talk of the Town. It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in The Wizard of Oz, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians, and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of romance seem undimmed as she embarks on a courtship with Mickey Deans (Finn Wittrock), her soon-to-be fifth husband. And yet Judy is fragile. After working for 45 of her 47 years, she is exhausted; haunted by memories of a childhood lost to Hollywood; gripped by a desire to be back home with her kids. Will she have the strength to go on? 2019. 1h58m. n Edward II (1991) — In this new restoration of the iconic New Queer Cinema classic, Derek Jarman offers a postmodern take on Christopher Marlowe’s Elizabethan drama.

Pleasureseeking King Edward II sets the stage for a palace revolt by taking as a lover the ambitious Piers Gaveston, who uses his favor in bed to wield political influence, sending the gay pair from the throne to a terminal torture dungeon. This landmark of gay cinema features an incredible performance from Jarman muse and Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton as Edward’s spurned Queen Isabella and a rare film appearance by singer Annie Lennox.

1991. 1h30m. n Temblores — A seemingly exemplary pillar of Guatemala City’s Evangelical Christian community, Pablo’s announcement that he intends to leave his wife for another man sends shock waves through the family. As Pablo tries to acclimate to his new life in the city’s gay subculture with the liberated Francisco, his ultra-religious family does everything in its power to get their prodigal son back on track, no matter the cost. In Spanish with subtitles. 2019. 1h47m. n Parasite — 2020 Oscar-nominee: Best Picture, Best International Feature Film, Best Director (Bong Joon Ho), Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Production Design Bong Joon Ho brings his singular mastery home to Korea in this pitch-black modern fairytale.

Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family: rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by college-aged Kiwoo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. The Kims provide “indispensable” luxury services while the Parks obliviously bankroll their entire household. When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks. By turns darkly hilarious and heart-wrenching, Parasite showcases a modern master at the top of his game. In Korean with subtitles. 2019. 2h12m. n Redoubt — The new film by acclaimed artist and director Matthew Barney, creator of The Crewmaster Cycle, Drawing Restraint 9, and the film opera River of Fundament, unfolds as a series of hunts in the wilderness of Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains. The characters communicate a mythological narrative through dance, letting movement replace language, as they pursue each other and their prey. 2019.

2h14m. n Ága — In a yurt on the snowcovered fields of the North, Nanook and Sedna live following the traditions of their ancestors. Alone in the wilderness, they look like the last people on Earth. Nanook and Sedna’s traditional way of life starts changing. Hunting becomes more and more difficult, the animals around them die from inexplicable causes, and the ice has been melting earlier every year. Chena, who visits them regularly, is their only connection to the outside world and to their daughter, Ága, who left the tundra long ago due to a family feud. When Sedna’s health deteriorates, Nanook decides to embark on a long journey to find Ága. In Yakut with subtitles. 2017. 1h36m. n Cunningham — Merce Cunningham’s artistic evolution over three decades of risk and discovery (1944 -1972), from his early years as a struggling dancer in postwar New York to his emergence as one of the world’s most visionary choreogra-

phers. The documentary weaves together Merce’s philosophies and stories, creating a visceral journey into his innovative work. A breathtaking explosion of dance, music, and never-beforeseen archival material, Cunningham is a timely tribute to one of the world’s greatest modern dance artists. 2019.

1h33m. n Fantastic Fungi — When so many are struggling for connection, inspiration, and hope, Fantastic Fungi brings us together as interconnected creators of our world.

A consciousness-shifting film that takes us on an immersive journey through time and scale into the magical earth beneath our feet, an underground network that can heal and save our planet. Through the eyes of renowned scientists and mycologists like Paul Stamets, best-selling authors Michael Pollan, Eugenia Bone, Andrew Weil, and others, we become aware of the beauty, intelligence, and solutions the fungi kingdom offers us in response to some of our most pressing medical, therapeutic, and environmental challenges. 2019.

City at center of coronovirus outbreak to suspend outbound travel to contain spreading iillness Anna Fifield and Lena H. Sun The Washington Post

BEIJING - Wuhan, the central Chinese city of 11 million people where the coronavirus outbreak began last month, has suspended all outbound travel beginning at 10 a.m. Thursday to contain the escalating epidemic.

The People’s Daily, the official organ of the Chinese Communist Party, reported that “no people in Wuhan . . . will be allowed to leave the city.” Train stations, ferries, buses and the airport will all be shut temporarily, it said.

“Shutting down outbound transportation of a provincial capital city is unprecedented in China since 1949,” tweeted Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of China’s Global Times. “Didn’t do so even during SARS [epidemic] in 2003.”

The ramped-up Chinese response came as the World Health

Jails From A1

The new jail, which is expected to start accepting inmates in July 2021, is designed to have 64 beds, two pods of 32 each for males and one pod of 16 for female inmates. Greene County’s inmate population was 25 on Wednesday, Kusminsky said, with inmates being boarded in jails in Albany, Columbia and Ulster counties.

In addition to the $39 million bond from Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. at 2.49% interest, the project is also funded by an $8.1 million contribution from the county.

County Law 217 was a major point of contention between pro-jail legislators and antijail advocates.

educators, lawmakers and law enforcement officials, to individuals in recovery or who may be struggling with addiction, according to the release.

Organization delayed declaring a public health emergency, as experts had expected, as the new virus continued to spread across China and nearby countries, with authorities in the province where it began reporting Wednesday that at least 17 people have now died as a result of infection, almost tripling in a day.

Officials have warned that the virus could mutate, complicating efforts to contain it in the middle of the busiest travel period on the Chinese calendar.

Some 400 million people are on the move in China in advance of Lunar New Year’s Day, which falls on Saturday.

More than 470 people, almost all of them in Hubei province, had been confirmed as having contracted the virus on Wednesday evening local time, according to the latest tally from

national and local health commissions.

Chinese state media struggled to keep their tally up to date Wednesday as new cases were reported around the country. The Chinese territories of Hong Kong and Macao also confirmed their first infections.

South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and the United States have each reported one case of the virus, while Thailand said the number of infected people there has risen to four.

The emergence of a new illness out of China has carried echoes of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic, which infected more than 8,000 people, killed 774 and sparked mass panic as it spread across more than two dozen countries over eight months after starting in China in November 2002.

SARS caused an estimated $30 billion in economic losses, or about $3 million per case of the disease, experts have said.

But with SARS, it took months to identify the cause - civet cats, a delicacy in southern China. The virus in Wuhan was identified quickly and its genome sequenced and shared within days.

Chinese health officials have confirmed that the pneumonia-like virus came from wild animals sold at a market in Wuhan, the city of 11 million people that is the capital of Hubei province. Members of WHO, the Geneva-based international health agency, said in a briefing Wednesday that they were split on whether to issue a public health emergency after listening to presentations from Chinese officials and others. The

committee plans to meet again on Thursday, said Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. In the meantime, it has made recommendations to improve containment of the virus both in China and other countries, he said.

President Donald Trump said from Davos, Switzerland, where he was attending the World Economic Forum, that Americans have nothing to worry about because there was only a single case in the United States so far. “It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control,” he said.

But the virus has so far defied control in China, and the mass movement of people ahead of the new year holiday — the largest human migration on the planet — has posed a unique challenge.

A lobbying effort, led by former legislator Lori Torgersen of Windham in June, resulted in bills that would authorize Greene County to share a jail with an adjacent county. The bills earned the support of state senators Luis Sepulveda, Jamaal Bailey, Zellnor Myrie and Assembly members Patricia Fahy, Joseph Lentol, Mark Weprin, Michael Blake and Clifford Couch.

Although the bills passed several votes, they did not make it out of committee before the legislative session ended.

The law is ambiguous as to whether a county can operate a jail outside its own borders or share a jail with another county, Torgersen said in May 2019.

Torgersen and former legislators Kevin Lennon of Catskill, Aidan O’Connor

of Durham and incumbent Legislator Michael Bulich, RCatskill, sent an inquiry about the legality of sharing a jail to the governor’s office in December 2018.

Allen Riley, chairman of the state Commission of Correction, replied to Bulich in a letter dated March 6, 2019.

“The Commission has emphasized that whether to construct a new facility or whether to seek legislative authority to share services with another county was a local decision to be made by Greene County,” Riley wrote.

Greene County Attorney Edward Kaplan asked for a list of statutes in April 2018 that would need to be modified to allow a shared jail, according to the letter.

“The list was provided the following day,” Riley wrote.

“To my knowledge, the

Commission has received no further requests for technical assistance regarding the necessary legislation from either Greene or Columbia counties.”

The county researched the option, Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said.

“The law has to be changed at the state level and we were told it would never go through,” Groden said.

Some anti-jail advocates said they believed that the legality of sharing jails was already answered.

Regional facilities were determined to be permissible in an interpretation given by the state Attorney General’s office in 1991.

“We conclude that article 5-G of the General Municipal law authorizes the establishment of regional jails through

municipal cooperation agreements,” according to the interpretation.

Early in the jail design process, the county had the option of conducting a feasibility study to share a jail with Columbia County.

Greene and Columbia counties could have each made a $5,000 contribution for a feasibility study, with the state picking up the remaining $50,000.

The study was never conducted. Groden pointed to the age of the Columbia County Jail as a factor in November 2018.

“I wouldn’t want to put an addition on a 37-year-old building,” he said, adding that the cost of the addition would be about $15 million, of which Greene County would have to pay $7.5 million.

Albany County Corrections

and Rehabilitative Services Center has also been suggested as a partner.

Apple sees the logic behind a shared jail but said he feels the county must support it.

“It does make sense but it’s a Greene County issue,” he said in May 2019. “If they had a plan, then we could sit down.”

Due to the low inmate population, Apple has begun an initiative to help Albany County’s homeless population.

“I have 600 open cells and with bail reform, I’m expecting to lose another 50 to 90 inmates,” he said in September.

“I have this huge building with a big vacancy. What can we do with it?”

For the price of $10,000, Apple and his team transformed 100 cells, which are separated from the rest of the jail, into bedrooms.

“The opioid epidemic is a huge problem in Greene County,” Sheriff Peter Kusminsky said Wednesday. “I see the sheriff’s office playing a large part in fighting it. My office is committed to helping people and we often come into contact with addicts. We may be able to help them get to services before it’s too late.”

Attendees will be invited to tackle a variety of issues including affordable child care, co-occurring conditions, criminal justice reform, food security, harm reduction,

health insurance coverage, livable wages, local treatment options, mental health, prescribing practices, quality education, recovery-friendly businesses, safe housing, social cohesion, social determinants of health, social support, stigma reductions and education and youth engagement.

Friends of Recovery of Delaware and Otsego Counties, the Mark Project, the Catskills Recreation Center, Samadhi Recovery Outreach

Maple Hill’s Caleb Svingala battles Coxsackie-Athens’ Kyle Green in a 126-pound match.

Back 2 Back: Coxsackie-Athens repeats as Patroon wrestling champions Columbia-Greene Media

COXSACKIE — CoxsackieAthens defeated Maple Hill at home on Tuesday night to win its second straight Patroon Conference wrestling championship.

The Indians outscored Maple Hill 48-33, winning six matches via pin, two on the scorecards and one by forfeit.

“Our win was a complete team effort, from the wrestlers to the coaching staff, to the parents, to the custodial staff who helped setup the gym,” Coxsackie-Athens coach Ryan Palmer said.

“Without each of these pieces being put together, I’m not sure if Tuesday night would have been in our favor.

“Maple Hill is a very wellcoached and dedicated team that we will always respect.

Maple Hill Coaches Gibbons, Scheilding, and Gootz were all my youth wrestling coaches when I was a kid, so it is always fun to compete with them. Our program would like to give a sincere thanks to all of the Coxsackie-Athens community members, school staff and wrestling parents for all that they do to support our program.”

Caleb Svingala managed to pick up a victory for Maple Hill over Kyle Green (126) early on, and could only watch from the sideline as the meet slipped away from the Wildcats.

“A huge congratulations to our competitors as they stayed focused throughout the night,” Palmer said.

“Initially trailing Maple Hill 0-21 to start off the night, our team was able to rally and get the job done. Back to back conference champions is a great accomplishment to work off of, as we push forward with the individual tournaments ahead; Section 2 Class Cs, Section 2 State Qualifier and the NYS Championships.

“I could not be more proud of this team, what they’ve overcome and the work they put in. As always, I am PROUD TO BE THEIR COACH.” Winners from Maple Hill included Svingala (126), Anthony Ortiz (132), James Colvin (138), Cody Chicoine (145), Vincent Colvin, (99), and Thomas Merhige (106).

NEW YORK — Where have you gone, Derek Jeter? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Originally, it was Joe DiMaggio for whom Paul Simon wrote those lyrics as part of his anthem, “Mrs. Robinson” from the 1967 movie “The Graduate” — the point being those were troubled times in America back then and the country was longing for a hero like the Yankee Clipper to help restore its faith. These are likewise troubled times for baseball, which is why Jeter, the closest thing we have had to DiMaggio as the perfect ballplayer, who did everything the right way on and off the field,

is back in our midst at the most opportune time.

It is now official where Derek Jeter is going and it’s the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. He arrives there by a near-unanimous 99.7% vote of the Baseball Writers Association, with one putz dissenting — thus providing a welcome hiatus for baseball embroiled in electronic cheating scandal. As Jeter said: “I’m just looking at all the votes I got. When you think that only one percent of all the players who played the game are in the Hall of Fame, it’s very humbling.” He’ll be joined on the stage next July by Larry Walker, the superb See JETER B6

FORT WORTH, Texas — By now you know Patrick Mahomes received but three offers to play college quarterback, and what you may not know is that it was a TCU assistant coach who predicted the exact moment the attention was going to come for the kid from Whitehouse.

By the second week of September 2012, the junior three-sport athlete from Whitehouse, just outside

Tyler, was still regarded as more of a baseball prospect.

On Sept. 14, 2012, that changed when Mahomes led Whitehouse to its first win of the season over Sulphur Springs.

Top 25 roundup: Brawl mars No. 3 Kansas’ win over K-State Field Level Media

Freshman guard Christian Braun came off the bench to net a career-high 20 points Tuesday as the No. 3 Jayhawks destroyed visiting Kansas State 81-60 at Lawrence, Kan., in a game that will be remembered for a brawl that took place in the closing seconds.

With the Jayhawks (15-3, 5-1 Big 12) up 81-59 and Kansas big man Silvio De Sousa dribbling out the clock, Kansas State’s DaJuan Gordon stole the ball and went in for a buzzer-beating layup. However, De Sousa got back, blocked the shot and sent Gordon to the floor. De Sousa then stood over Gordon and appeared to talk trash, leading to what became a benches-clearing scrum.

Punches appeared to be thrown, and at one point De Sousa picked up a folding chair and held it over his head as players and coaches ran around in chaos behind the baseline. But an assistant coach grabbed the chair before De Sousa could use it.

Once coaches and security separated the players, all but the five players on the floor for each team at the time of the brawl were ejected and De Sousa was assessed a technical. Officials put one-tenth of a second back on the clock and summoned the 10 players still in the game back to the court from the locker room to allow Kansas State (8-10, 1-5) to shoot free throws, accounting for the game’s final points.

“Well, obviously it’s an embarrassment,” Jayhawks coach Bill Self said after the game. “It’s not something to be proud of. What happened showed zero signs of toughness. It’s a sign of immaturity and selfishness more so than toughness.”

No. 4 San Diego State 72, Wyoming 55 The host Aztecs matched their best start and longest winning streak in program history by routing the Cowboys for the second time this season.

The Aztecs (20-0, 9-0 Mountain West Conference) held the Cowboys to 18-of-42 shooting from the floor, including 6-of20 from behind the 3-point arc, and forced 16 turnovers.

Eleven of those giveaways came in the first half.

Malachi Flynn led San Diego State with 18 points. He also grabbed five rebounds, dished five assists and made four steals. Jake Hendricks led

Wyoming (5-16, 0-9) with 20 points, connecting on 5 of 12 from behind the 3-point arc.

Kwane Marble II scored 12 points and grabbed a teamhigh five rebounds.

No. 8 Duke 89, Miami 59 Matthew Hurt scored 22 points as the Blue Devils got back on track by blistering the Hurricanes in Durham, N.C. Duke was coming off consecutive losses to Clemson and Louisville.

Tre Jones dumped in 16 points and Vernon Carey Jr. added 11 points to help the Blue Devils end a two-game skid. It was a wire-to-wire win for Duke (16-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), which throttled Miami 95-62 slightly more than two weeks.

Kameron McGusty and Rodney Miller Jr. each posted 13 points, and Dejan Vasiljevic added 12 points for the Hurricanes (10-8, 2-6), who have lost three games in a row and five of their last six. Miller had 13 rebounds.

No. 9 Villanova 76, No. 13 Butler 61 Jermaine Samuels tallied 20 points and seven rebounds, Saddiq Bey added 14 points and six boards, and Justin Moore chipped in 14 to lead the host Wildcats past the Bulldogs at Finneran Pavilion, handing Butler its third straight loss.

The Wildcats, winners of 11 of their last 12 games, including five in a row, shot 21-for-23 on free throws and dominated on the glass with 43 rebounds.

The Wildcats (15-3, 5-1 Big East) shot 9-for-25 on 3-pointers.

Butler, which won 15 of its first 16 games this season, has now dropped three consecutive conference games after shooting 25 percent (5-for-20) on 3-pointers against Villanova. The Bulldogs (15-4, 3-3) were led by Kamar Baldwin, who finished with 21 points.

No. 15 Kentucky 89, Georgia 79 Forward Nick Richards and guard Ashton Hagans combined for 43 points as the Wildcats completed a regularseason sweep of the Bulldogs in Lexington, Ky. Hagans had 23 points, nine assists, five rebounds and four steals while Richards had 20 points and eight boards for the Wildcats (14-4, 5-1 SEC).

Forward Rayshaun Hammonds and guard Anthony Edwards scored 16 each to lead the Bulldogs (11-7, 1-4), who have lost four times in a

five-game stretch that started with a 78-69 loss to the Wildcats in Athens, Ga., two weeks ago.

No. 17 Maryland 77, Northwestern 66 Jalen Smith scored a careerhigh 25 points as the Terrapins rallied from down 14 at the half to get their first road win of the season, defeating the Wildcats in Evanston, Ill. Smith, who added 11 rebounds for his 10th doubledouble of the season, got 21 of his points in the second half as Maryland (15-4, 5-3 Big Ten) rolled to 51 points in that frame.

Legends and luminaries laud David Stern at memorial Dan Woike Los Angeles Times

NEW YORK — The walls were lit basketball orange, matching the crushed velvet seats, the iconic Radio City Music Hall curtain and the magnetic buttons everyone wore on their lapels.

How do you memorialize a life like that of legendary former NBA commissioner David Stern?

You begin, it turns out, with a subtle touch of color choice.

You pack one of the nation’s most famous venues with people such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Bill Russell and Oscar Robertson. You fill it with NBA coaches and general managers, star agents, announcers and former referees. You make sure old co-workers, people he mentored and berated, were there.

You remember. You cry. You pay tribute and offer condolences. You listen to jazz. You laugh.

You playfully f-bomb.

“That,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said, “was David.”

All these people gathered Tuesday afternoon to celebrate the former NBA commissioner, Stern, who died on Jan. 1 after he had a brain hemorrhage in December. He was 77.

Stern oversaw the NBA as it grew into a viable domestic and global product. He negotiated big-money television deals, organized the league offices to include 13 around the world, handled multiple crises and work stoppages, and put a focus on marketing and international exposure.

“So many of us in this room would not have had the same opportunities if it were not for David,” Silver said.

Chief among them might be Johnson, who fought back tears while thanking Stern for his support during the worst period of his life — when Johnson announced he had contracted HIV in 1991.

“What a blessing it is to think about all the tremendous times I shared with David. In a time of need 29 years ago, the toughest time in my life, the darkest moment in my life, my commissioner turned into my angel.

And he was able to throw me a lifeline,” Johnson said.

It was a tender moment when Johnson had to fight back tears, thinking about how he wouldn’t be able to share time with Stern at the upcoming AllStar game.

“Sometimes God puts somebody in your life that you don’t know the reasons why until something seriously happens in your life. You know a true friend when something bad happens in your life,” Johnson said. “...

If he was your friend, he stood right there next to you no matter what people said.”

It wasn’t all sadness and

longing.

From the moment the doors opened Tuesday, people walked into Radio City and were greeted by a photo slide show on three giant screens, with photos of Stern in the biggest moments of his players’ lives, shaking hands on draft night, handing over MVP awards and celebrating NBA championships.

In addition to Jordan, Russell, Robertson and Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Yao Ming, David Robinson, Clyde Drexler, Hakeem Olajuwon, Isiah Thomas, Bernard King, Alonzo Mourning and Bill Walton all attended the memorial. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and a host of NBA executives, owners and coaches — including the Mavericks’ Rick Carlisle, whose team played Tuesday night in Dallas — also attended.

Current members of the New York Knicks sat in the audience.

The show — and it was very much a show, complete with a soundtrack from the Jazz at Lincoln Center quartet — began with Stern’s own words, a video package celebrating his achievements during a 30-year run as commissioner of the NBA. Speakers that followed would celebrate Stern for spearheading the founding of the WNBA and NBA Cares, for his tireless pursuit of perfection and his commitment to social responsibility. Co-workers casually quoted Stern from speeches he gave decades ago and praised him as a visionary.

They also, as his son Eric put it, remember that he could be a “pain in the ...”

Stern was “pure caring coated in vinegar,” musician Wynton Marsalis said.

Other speakers included former Los Angeles Lakers coach and current Miami Heat executive Pat Riley, former WNBA president and current Big East commissioner Val Ackerman, lawyer and former co-worker Michael Cardozo, Golden State Warriors chief executive Rick Welts and Kathy Behrens, president of social responsibility and players programs for the NBA. In the end, Stern was remembered by his children, first Eric, his youngest, and then Andrew.

They talked about his love of dirty jokes, the way he was enthused by the law, how he made time to be at baseball games and how he loathed limousines, preferring his wood-paneled Buick wagon.

“It was about what mattered and what didn’t matter,” Andrew said.

For two-plus hours, through the laughing and the crying, the remembering and the listening, there was one thing that was unavoidable — David Stern mattered a lot to a lot of people.

NHL roundup: Bailey leads Islanders to victory over Rangers Field Level Media

Josh Bailey collected a power-play goal and two assists for a career-high three points as the visiting Islanders snapped a three-game losing streak at the expense of their New York City rival with a 4-2 victory on Tuesday.

Bailey scored the first of two Islanders power-play goals in the final 6:25 of the first period, then had the primary assist on tallies by Anthony Beauvillier and Brock Nelson. Anders Lee scored in the second period for the Islanders, and Thomas Greiss stopped a season-high 40 shots and improved to 5-01 in his career against the Rangers.

Pavel Buchnevich and Chris Kreider scored in a span of 1:47 during a four-minute power play in the third period for the Rangers. Alexandar Georgiev started for the third straight time against the Islanders and allowed four

goals on 18 shots after stopping 70 of 74 in the Rangers’ two wins last week.

Panthers 4, Blackhawks 3 Frank Vatrano tallied his second career hat trick, and the Florida Panthers held on for a 4-3 win over the host Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night.

Evgenii Dadonov also scored for Florida, which won its sixth game in a row. The hat trick for Vatrano was his first since Dec. 18, 2015, when he was a rookie with the Boston Bruins.

The victory capped an emotional evening for Panthers head coach Joel Quenneville, who won three Stanley Cup championships with the Blackhawks before he was fired early last season.

Quenneville received a standing ovation and video tribute in his first return to Chicago as an opposing coach.

Kirby Dach, Drake Caggiula and Patrick Kane each scored for Chicago, whose

five-game winning streak ended. Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky made 32 saves to earn his second win in as many nights. Blackhawks goaltender Robin Lehner allowed four goals on 26 shots.

Bruins 3, Golden Knights 2

David Krejci scored the game-winning goal midway through the third period and also had an assist, and Jaroslav Halak finished with 27 saves as Boston rallied for a victory over visiting Vegas.

Jeremy Lauzon, recalled earlier Tuesday from

first game back. Martin Necas and Teuvo Teravainen also scored for the Hurricanes.

Patrik Laine scored in the first period for Winnipeg, cutting his team’s deficit to 2-1.

Carolina goalie Petr Mrazek made 16 saves while Winnipeg netminder Connor Hellebuyck stopped 25 shots.

Flyers 3, Penguins 0 James van Riemsdyk, Jake Voracek and Justin Braun each scored a goal, and host Philadelphia won its final game before the All-Star break, blanking Pittsburgh.

The Flyers improved to 174-4 at home while winning for the fourth time in five games.

Philadelphia goaltender Brian Elliott made 19 saves on his way to his first shutout of the season and the 39th of his career.

Tristan Jarry stopped 27 shots for the Penguins, who had been one of the hottest teams in the league with six wins in their previous seven games.

Providence of the AHL, and Jake DeBrusk also scored goals for Boston, which improved to 17-2-9 at home and increased its Atlantic Division lead to eight points over the Tampa Bay Lightning heading into the All-Star break.

Mark Stone and Nicolas Hague scored goals for Vegas, which lost for the sixth time in its past seven games (1-5-1). Nate Schmidt added two assists, and Marc-Andre Fleury finished with 34 saves while allowing at least three goals for the seventh time in his past eight starts.

Hurricanes 4, Jets 1 Justin Williams produced two goals in just his second game since returning from an abbreviated retirement as Carolina defeated Winnipeg in Raleigh, N.C. Williams, a former team captain, scored in the first and third periods. The right winger had provided the winning tally in a shootout in his

Please read it carefully.

SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the Summons and Complaint in this Foreclosure Action, you may lose your home.

Please read the Summons and Complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney of your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home.

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress.

You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed.

State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. We are attempting to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose. The foregoing summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of the Honorable Henry F.

Jeter From B1

right fielder with the Rockies, Expos and Cardinals, who squeaked through to election by six votes, 76.6%, in his final year the ballot.

So for the next few days we can celebrate the greatness that was Jeter, he of the 3,465 hits, a .310 lifetime batting average, the highest OPS (.871) of any shortstop in the Hall of Fame, the postseason “flip play” and “Mr. November” legends, and, of course, those five Yankees World Championship teams he captained.

The Hall of Fame election is the culmination of a long and storied journey that began

Mahomes From B1

“People are going to know who Patrick Mahomes is now.

This game is going to start generating attention for him.”

Nope, TCU never offered Mahomes a scholarship. He only received three offers to play football.

Every Super Bowl there are multiple examples of guys who were overlooked, of recruiting rankings that flopped.

Mahomes is the case study of the kid who excelled because he didn’t play just one sport, even if it hurt him in the “rankings.”

Mahomes has the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years, and he is on the verge of owning the NFL.

Baseball From B1

time for the call to come from BBWAA secretary/treasurer Jack O’Connell.

“When you start off your career, you’re never thinking about the Hall of Fame,” Jeter told MLB Network. “I mean, this is the highest honor that can be given to any individual that plays this game. I was speechless.”

Jeter, the long-time captain of the Yankees, was a 14-time All-Star and five-time Gold Glove winner in a career that ran from 1995-2014. The 1996 American League Rookie of the Year played on five World Series-winning title teams and was named World Series MVP in 2000 when the Yankees beat the crosstown New York Mets in five games.

Jeter’s flair for the dramatic was still evident in his final at-bat at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 25, 2014, when he sent a walk-off, opposite-field single to right field to give the

throughout his 20-year Yankee career. He played 150 or more games 13 times, hit .300 or more 12 times, scored 100 or more runs 13 times, stole 15 or more bases 12 times, and hit .308 with an .838 OPS 111 runs in 158 postseason games.

He played the game with confidence, cool and a singlemindedness for winning. He also played the game clean, at a time when many other players, including some of baseball’s biggest stars, didn’t.

When asked why he was able not to succumb to the temptation to use steroids, he answered simply that his father, Charles, was a drug and alcohol counselor.

In so many ways, Jeter was our modern-day DiMaggio.

Like Joe, he never made a mistake on the field that cost the

Yankees a ballgame — at least one that anyone remembered.

And while his critics among the sabermetricians would maintain part of the reason for that was because he lacked the range to get to a lot balls that should have been outs, why was it that Joe Torre — “Mr. Torre” to Jeter — said on numerous occasions that, with the game on the line, the guy he wanted the ball hit to was Jeter.

Also like DiMaggio, playing in New York, the media capital of the universe, even in the era of social media, Jeter was somehow able to keep his personal life private. You could talk with him as long as he would let you, but you were never going to get an ounce of controversy out of him. On the darker side, just like DiMaggio,

any slight, perceived or otherwise, got you crossed off Jeter’s list forever. Just ask Alex Rodriguez or Brian Cashman.

Jeter’s thing was to lead by example rather than words.

He made it clear he didn’t approve of players using steroids, but never openly criticized any of them — even ARod — and chose not to take a public stand when MLB was fighting with the players union for more comprehensive drug testing. Now that he’s in the Hall of Fame, not to mention the CEO of the Miami Marlins, he is once again privy to a baseball cheating scandal of a different kind. And even though he is in no position to do anything about it, people are going to want to hear his opinion anyway, because he’s Derek Jeter, who never

did anything to besmirch the game.

“I always took a lot of pride in preparing myself and doing everything I could to help my team,” Jeter said in a Baseball Writers conference call Monday night. “I know the game has been through a lot across the years and (the sign-stealing scandal) is just another thing. People made mistakes and they’re going to pay for them. But the game will go on and in time will be in a better place for it.”

For now, Jeter can be content in the knowledge that his election to the Hall was a reminder to all — who may have forgotten in recent days — of everything that was good about the game and how it was supposed to be played.

It happens every year, a player who develops but had been previously ignored by countless teams, and their fleet of coaches.

Even after Cumbie predicted schools would pay attention to Mahomes, which happened, the offers did not flood the Whitehouse offices.

“He was not the prototypical quarterback at the time; he was not some five-step drop player,” said one of Mahomes’ former coaches, Adam Cook, in a phone interview on Monday. “But he would not get invited to these certain showcase events for high school players, and I would get so frustrated. I knew how good he was, and I couldn’t get him into these events.

“The problem was Patrick, when so many other guys were in these showcase events or whatever else, he was competing. He was on the basketball

court, competing. He was on the baseball diamond, competing.”

Cook strongly believes the biggest reason Mahomes was not buried in scholarship offers was the fear that he was going to play pro baseball.

Coaching staffs have only so many spots, and they often do not want to offer a kid who was going to accept it, only to later turn around and pursue baseball.

Mahomes, whose father was an MLB pitcher who briefly pitched for the Texas Rangers, was a highly regarded baseball prospect.

“The unknown was baseball. Every coach who saw him recognized the talent that he had,” Cook said. “It was not ever a deal where they thought he wasn’t very good. It was just a matter of what was he going to pursue. They didn’t know if he wanted to do this.”

At one point, Cook thought Oklahoma State had offered Mahomes a scholarship but it was a misunderstanding.

Houston had offered. As did Texas Tech. So did North Texas.

“I think Arizona and Arkansas were in the mix on the baseball side; those are the ones I recall,” Cook said. “But he got with (then Texas Tech coach) Kliff Kingsbury and he was sold.”

Cook said he has been told by a prominent Texas college coach he hopes to use Mahomes as an example to be used for all high school football players in the state, and not solely because he’s in the NFL. They want to show young quarterbacks how important it is to play other sports.

Ex-Dallas Cowboys head coach and new New York Giants offensive coordinator

Jason Garrett once recounted that Steve Spurrier wanted quarterbacks to be shortstops.

Quarterbacks of this era are technically superior because they spend so much time practicing and running drills. They are vastly inferior when the play breaks down and the game goes off script, because so many of them now play football year round as opposed to baseball, basketball, or something else in the offseason.

That’s why Spurrier, Garrett, and so many others, want quarterbacks who have experience making throws, and plays, when it all goes to hell.

It’s one thing to drop back and throw a pretty pass in 7-on-7. Now do it when your first two receivers run the wrong routes, the left tackle didn’t do his job, and two defenders are two steps away from sending you to Venus.

There is no quarterback who thrives in those spots better than Mahomes.

“He played all three sports, and you can see the influence of the sports that molded him into the player he is,” Cook said. “The no-look passes you see? That’s basketball. The elements of throwing it from awkward positions, that’s from him throwing the ball across the diamond.

“Now, we have to look at God blessed him with abilities and he does things that are hard to mimic, but his experiences in the other sports helped him.”

Patrick Mahomes was but a three-star kid who is now on the verge of owning all of football, in part because he played basketball and baseball, too.

Yankees a 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles.

Jeter also reflected back to when he began playing minor league baseball in the Yankees’ organization in 1992. It didn’t go well, and he batted a collective .210 in 58 games at two stops. The next season, he made 56 errors in 126 games.

“I was homesick, I was completely overmatched,” Jeter said. “There were a lot of phone calls back home every night thinking that I made a mistake signing professionally, but just having that support and people I could lean on (helped). ...

“I was blessed to play a long career and play on some great teams and have a lot of support.”

Jeter is currently the chief executive officer of the Miami Marlins.

Earlier Tuesday, Walker sent out a tweet expressing he didn’t think he was going to get elected.

“I didn’t think it was happening and I truly meant that,” Walker said on MLB Network. “I had the numbers in my head, and I was prepared

for no call, and then the opposite happens, and that call comes and suddenly you can’t breathe.”

Walker is the second Canadian player named to the Hall of Famer. Pitcher Ferguson Jenkins was the first in 1991.

“Being Canadian, you are born into this world with a stick in your hand and skates on your feet,” Walker said.

“That’s how it was as a kid. You played hockey. ... I literally had to learn everything in the minor leagues. I didn’t have high school baseball.”

Walker was a quick learner and developed into a five-time All-Star. Walker won NL MVP honors with Colorado in 1997, when he batted .366 with a career-high 49 homers to go with 130 RBIs and a career-best 33 steals.

Some people feel Walker’s stats are inflated due to playing so long in hitter-friendly Coors Field. He had a .381 batting average in 2,136 at-bats at the Mile High-ballpark.

Walker said he has heard all the theories, good and bad.

And he is OK with the debate but knows it has been put

aside for good as of Tuesday.

“I get the arguments, I’ve heard them all,” Walker said.

“Like I say, 76.6 percent of the voters didn’t think that way, so I’m as grateful as can be.”

Schilling will be on the ballot for up to two more years and figures to have a strong chance to get in next season.

There are observers who say Schilling has hurt his candidacy with controversial comments over the past few years, often made from his Twitter account, but his credentials sparkle.

Schilling was a six-time AllStar who went 216-146 with a 3.46 ERA, 3,116 strikeouts, 83 complete games and 20 shutouts in 20 seasons from 1988-2007 with the Baltimore Orioles (1988-90), Houston Astros (1991), Philadelphia Phillies (1992-2000), Arizona Diamondbacks (2000-03) and Boston Red Sox (2004-07).

He walked just 711 batters in 3,261 innings.

He was twice runner-up for the NL Cy Young Award (200102) and also finished second for the AL Cy Young Award in 2004. Schilling won more

than 20 games in each of those three seasons, including a career-best 23 for the Diamondbacks in 2002.

Schilling was a big-game pitcher in the postseason, going 11-2 with a 2.23 ERA and two shutouts in 19 starts. He was World Series co-MVP with Randy Johnson in 2001 when Arizona defeated the Yankees in seven games.

The candidacies of both Clemens and Bonds have been controversial due to suspicions they used illegal performance-enhancing drugs during their careers.

Bonds is the sport’s all-time leader with 762 homers and won a record seven NL MVP awards over his 22 seasons (1986-2007). He played for the Pittsburgh Pirates (198692) and San Francisco Giants (1993-2007).

Clemens owns a record seven-time Cy Young Awards and went 354-184 with a 3.12 ERA, 4,672 strikeouts and 46 shutouts during 24 seasons from 1984-2007. He pitched for the Red Sox (1984-96), Toronto Blue Jays (1997-1998), Yankees (1999-2003, 2007) and

Astros (2004-06).

Shortstop Omar Vizquel received 52.6 percent of the votes on this third year on the ballot. The defensive mastermind won 11 Gold Glove Awards and had 2,877 career hits over 24 big league seasons, 11 of them with the Cleveland Indians.

Miller was chief of the players association from 1966-82 during a stretch in which there were two strikes (1972 and 1981). He helped usher in the free agency era as baseball’s long-standing reserve clause that bound players to one team was struck down and salaries began to soar. He died in November 2012 at age 95.

Simmons, a switch hitter who played in parts of 21 seasons starting in 1968, finished with a batting average of .285 with 2,472 hits, 483 doubles, 248 homers and 1,389 RBIs. He spent 13 seasons with the Cardinals, five with the Milwaukee Brewers and three with the Atlanta Braves.

BOYS BASKETBALL PATROON Coxsackie-Athens 61, Rensselaer 57 RENSSELAER — Josh Kiefer drained three of four free throws in the closing second to ice Coxsackie-Athens’ 6157 victory over Rensselaer in Tuesday’s Patroon Conference boys basketball game.

Renssleaer led 13-12 after one quarter, but a 21-11

second-quarter run put C-A on top 33-24 at halftime.

that chilly April 2 Opening Day in Cleveland in 1996. Jeter led off the fifth inning — he was batting ninth that day — with a home run to deep left field off the Indians’ Dennis Martinez to extend the Yankees’ lead to 2-0 and then made a spectacular over-the-shoulder catch of Omar Vizquel’s windblown pop-up two innings later en route to a 7-1 victory. By the end of the year he’d become a permanent fixture at the top of the lineup, and would finish the season with a .314 average and 78 RBIs, earning a unanimous election as American League Rookie of the Year.

Though he never won an MVP award — the closest he came was a second in 2006 when he hit .343 with 97 RBIs and a .900 OPS — Jeter was a model of consistency

Talkative woman gives friend the silent treatment Dear Abby, I’m a busy woman. My friend “Adele” was calling me excessively on my cellphone. She would call up to three times every day, even when I was at work. When I would take her call, she’d start questioning me, asking DEAR ABBY me what I was so busy with.

At times she would lecture me about things she thought I should be doing.

Her perfectionism and nonstop phone calls were smothering me. I finally asked her, as graciously as I could, to please stop the excessive calling. Now she no longer speaks to me at all.

We were friends for years, but the constant contact was stressing me out. Do you think I have ruined this friendship, or is this something that will blow over?

Smothered On The East Coast

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Adele should not have been calling you multiple times every day, especially while you were at work, which could have had a negative effect on your job performance. It was not rude to ask her to stop and to explain why.

It appears that while your friend had no hesitation to lecture you about what you “should” do, she was hypersensitive when it came to receiving some constructive criticism. You haven’t heard from her because she is trying to punish you. Consider yourself lucky. You haven’t ruined the friendship; she has.

Dear Abby,

I am a gay man. I moved to this city to be with my boyfriend six years ago. We have since broken up and gone our separate ways.

When I moved here, I left behind my family, friends and all I had ever known to be with him, but something just never felt right here.

Since the breakup, this city has felt less and less like home, but the problem is, I never really felt at home in the town I grew up in either. It was a small, repressed community where if you even said the word “gay,” most people were ready to shun you. Only some of my closest and dearest friends and a few family members really accepted me.

I guess my problem now is, I just don’t know what to do. I’m trying to find my place in this world. Any advice you can offer or help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

No Place Feels Like Home Go on the internet and start researching cities that have a sizable gay community in which you can meet other gay people. Your next step should be to see what employment opportunities are available there for someone with your skill set. If you make the move, I predict it won’t take you long to feel at home because you will find the emotional support you are looking for. I wish you luck on what I am sure will be an exciting and rewarding step forward in your life.

Amlodipine not associated with BP medicine recalls I keep hearing that amlodipine, my blood pressure medicine, has a cancer-causing agent in it. I had ovarian cancer surgery in 2010. So far, my doctors say I am doing well. I am very concerned the amlodipine might be to blame.

I do not find any literature showing a significant associaTO YOUR tion of amlodipine (Norvasc and GOOD HEALTH others) with ovarian cancer.

There was a study showing an association with some older beta blockers, but the type of study that showed this cannot prove that the beta blockers really do increase the risk of ovarian cancer, and I wouldn’t recommend stopping them without a discussion with your doctor.

A different class of blood pressure drugs, the angiotensin receptor blockers, have been in the news a lot recently with a potentially cancercausing contaminant resulting in many lots being recalled. The level of risk with this contaminant was thought to be small. I have not seen amlodipine identified as contaminated, but a combination amlodipine/ARB was recalled.

Most cases of cancer have no identifiable risk associated. Cancer just happens sometimes.

I am a 91-year-old man in good health. I eat a 6-ounce container of low-fat yogurt each day, since I heard it was good for my gut bacteria.

But I don’t know if this is true or not. I may be wasting my time and money. It comes in several flavors, and I enjoy the taste. Please let me know your thoughts on yogurt.

Yogurt has two potential benefits: the bacteria

and the calcium. Many, but not all, yogurts are made with live bacteria, and these can live in our intestines. It’s not really clear what benefit they have for people who are healthy and have no symptoms. It’s possible they might prevent problems later, but there is very little evidence for that.

However, for people with intestinal conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, the healthy bacteria in yogurt can improve symptoms. Yogurt is also a good source of calcium, and 91-yearold men and women should ensure adequate calcium, since osteoporosis is common in people of that age.

Some brands of flavored yogurts have a great deal of sugar. I recommend finding brands with less sugar, or buying plain yogurt and adding some fresh fruit yourself.

I am a senior in good health but when I have a bowel movement, stool comes through my vagina. This started a few months ago.

This is almost certainly a rectovaginal fistula, an abnormal connection between the colon and the vagina. These can be the result of diverticulitis — inflamed outpouches of the colon — and sometimes of severe constipation. However, it can also occur as a complication of colon cancer.

Because of your symptoms and because of the possibility of a more serious problem, this needs an evaluation. Start with a visit to a gynecologist, who will confirm the diagnosis with a physical exam. An evaluation of the colon may be indicated to make sure this is not colon cancer.

Treatment for rectovaginal fistula is surgical.

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are a class act, and anyone who knows you, works with you, plays with you or even simply enjoys a brief interaction with you can testify to that fact. Hardworking and ambitious, you will never run roughshod over another in order to satisfy your own desires; rather, you will work with others in order to further your own personal agenda, even as you help them pursue theirs. You are a born leader.

You understand full well that failure is a part of success — or, rather, an inevitable stop on the road to achievement. Nowhere is this truer in your own life than in romantic affairs, and when it comes to the heart, you are not likely to get what you want right away. You must learn to be patient if you are going to enjoy a long-term love.

Also born on this date are: Mariska Hargitay, actress; Ernie Kovacs, TV comedian, writer and actor; Richard Dean Anderson, actor; John Hancock, patriot and founding father; Edouard Manet, painter; Chita Rivera, actress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You may be going through a difficult time today, but someone close to you is willing to do more than usual to see you through it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You are more interested in what someone else is doing, perhaps, than you are in your own endeavors. It may be time to change course — for good!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Your schedule leaves you only so much room to maneuver today, but maneuver you must as you deal with a situation promoted by a rival.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You may be feeling as though you will never stand a chance when it comes to a certain competition — but your standing is quite high.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You can tend to issues in the order that they arise today. Focus on that which enlivens you and gives you a clear view of the future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You may have to take steps today — but you’re unwilling to share them with anyone else before you swing into action.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — An ordinary encounter becomes extraordinary quite by accident today — and you’re in a position to make things right with an old friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You can’t wait too long for the answer to a certain question today.

If it doesn’t come when you expect it to, you must move on.
