CATSKILL — In an ongoing trend of shared services and consolidation, Gov. Andrew Cuomo called for a merger between the New York State Bridge Authority and the New York State Thruway Authority in his budget proposal.

Established in 1932, the Bridge Authority is responsible for maintaining the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, KingstonRhinecliff Bridge, NewburghBeacon Bridge, Mid-Hudson Bridge and Bear Mountain Bridge. The Thruway Authority, which was established in

1954, oversees the 570-mile superhighway, with 814 bridges, 118 interchanges, 11 toll barriers and 27 service areas, according to thruway.ny.gov.

Both the Bridge Authority and Thruway Authority are in the process of converting to cashless tolling.

To leverage their expertise, increase coordination and operate more efficiently, the FY 2021 budget merges the Bridge Authority into the Thruway Authority, according to governor.ny.gov.

Investments sought through marijuana revenue

By Massarah Mikati Johnson Newspapers

ALBANY — The voices of hundreds of activists boomed through the state Capitol on Tuesday as they urged their elected officials to legalize recreational marijuana this year.

And the biggest point they advocated was to use revenue from legalization to invest in communities of color.

“Any legislation that we pass to legalize marijuana in New York state must understand the nuances of over 40 years of prohibition, must understand the collateral consequences of the criminalization of marijuana use,” said Jawanza James, a member of Start Smart NY, a pro-legalization See REVENUE A2

Senate bill would ban surveillance tech

A Chula Vista police officer uses a computer tablet equipped with facial recognition software to photograph a person while on patrol.

ALBANY — As more reports have highlighted controversies involving law enforcement use of facial recognition technology, the state Legislature has a bill on its agenda to ban the practice in New York.

State Sen. Brad Hoylman, D-27, introduced on Monday a bill that would ban any law enforcement agency or member from acquiring, accessing or installing biometric surveillance technology to be used for their jobs — though it would allow for the ongoing use of existent biometric practices, such as fingerprints.

“In the wrong hands, this technology presents a chilling

threat to our privacy and civil liberties — especially when evidence shows this technology is less accurate when used on people of color, and transgender, non-binary and nonconforming people,” Hoylman said in a statement.

The senator is joining many elected officials across the country, on both state and federal levels, who have been calling for regulation of the use of this technology for privacy and discriminatory concerns.

Authority.

The 2020 increase marks the authority’s first toll hike in seven years. Tolls have risen four times in the Bridge Authority’s 87-year history.

“These projects include the replacement of the NewburghBeacon Bridge deck, major painting and paving projects at the other four Hudson Valley bridges, as well as the transition to all electronic tolling,” according to the Bridge Authority.

The Thruway is also in the process of converting to cashless tolling, a $353.3 million project. Tolls rates on the Thruway are frozen through 2020, according to thruway.ny.gov.

There are several components to Cuomo’s proposed merger, including that the state will not authorize construction or maintenance of any additional bridges over the Hudson River. The law will also not

infringe upon the authority’s right to establish and collect tolls “as may be convenient or necessary to produce sufficient revenue to meet the expense of maintenance and operation...”

If approved, the law would abolish the Bridge Authority when all obligations to the holders of bonds have been paid in full or otherwise fully meet and discharged, according to the law.

The Thruway Authority will absorb all of the rights, functions, powers, duties, obligations, covenants, pledges, undertakings, properties, debts, agreements, assets and liabilities of the Bridge Authority, according to the law.

All Bridge Authority employees will be transferred to the Thruway Authority, according to the law.

of Commerce President Jeff Friedman has serious reservations about the proposed law.

“The proposed budget pushes a merger of the state Bridge Authority into the state Thruway Authority under the guise of efficiency,” Friedman wrote in a letter to state lawmakers.

“This could not be further from the truth.”

Unlike other state authorities, the Bridge Authority does not operate on taxpayer dollars, instead relying on tolls, Friedman said.

“With a modest crew of 50 maintenance workers, these massive structures are meticulously cared for all year round,” he wrote. “There is a reason the oldest bridge in the Bridge

Authority, the Bear Mountain Bridge, is almost 100 years old and standing strong.”

Friedman expressed concern over the Thruway Authority’s maintenance of bridges, specifically the Tappan Zee Bridge.

“Built in the ’50s, the Tappan Zee was named one of the most decrepit and dangerous bridges in the U.S. by New York Magazine in 2013,” Friedman wrote.

“At the time it was decommissioned, the Tappan Zee had over 1,200 red-flagged structural issues.”

Another concern Friedman has is the potential for toll increases. The Rip Van Winkle Bridge is scheduled for an increase in May. For E-ZPass customers, the rate will increase 10 cents per year for four years, topping out at $1.65 in 2023. Cash rates will increase from $1.50 to $2.15 by 2023, according to the Bridge

Bloomberg News (TNS)

WASHINGTON — Less than half of Democrats are confident their party’s candidate will win the presidency this year, a stark contrast to Republicans, who were overwhelmingly positive about President Donald Trump’s chances, a national survey released Thursday found.

Only 44% of Democratic voters told Pew Research they expect victory while a staggering 80% of Republicans say Trump will either probably or definitely win. That said, nearly half of those surveyed said they would

probably or definitely vote for a Democrat in November while 38% said they will probably or definitely vote for Trump.

The different outlooks may reflect the still-unsettled state of the Democratic race. Former Vice President Joe Biden had the support of 26% of Democratic and Democratic- leaning registered voters, but Bernie Sanders was close behind at 21%, Elizabeth Warren had 16%, Pete Buttigieg 7%, Michael Bloomberg 5%, Andrew Yang with 3% and Amy Klobuchar with 2%.

Trump, by contrast, does not have a significant challenger.

Bloomberg is the founder and

majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News.

Democrats remain divided by demographics. Biden has the majority of African American support at 36%, while white voters were more evenly split among the top three. Both Buttigieg and Klobuchar had 0% support among black voters.

Biden is also the clear front-runner among Democrats over 50, whereas Sanders has the bulk of support among voters between 18-49. Sanders also leads among Hispanic voters.

National polls are not especially predictive at this point in

exactly how much revenue should go back into communities of color.

State Sen. Liz Kruger, D-28, and Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes, D-141, have a bill that would specifically allocate 50% of the revenue to a community grants reinvestment fund.

But the governor’s office is hesitant to put a specific percentage in a statute.

“We look forward to discussing with the legislature revenue allocation and making sure that everyone understands the need for flexibility in order to be able to address the appropriate needs as they’re diagnosed,” Norman Birenbaum, director of Cannabis Programs for the state, told Johnson News last week.

Instead, Cuomo’s bill focuses on establishing “tools and mechanisms” to correct the harms caused by disproportionate enforcement of marijuana criminalization in communities of color. These

include access to zero- or low-interest loans, establishing programs that would pair new entrepreneurs with veteran business people for guidance and counsel on business plans and creating a board that would identify where to direct funding within communities of color.

For legislators, though, that isn’t enough.

Peoples-Stokes and Krueger both have said they would not sign onto the budget — Cuomo’s preferred manner of passing legalization legislation — without seeing a specific allocation.

“Here’s why I think most executives have a problem: When the revenues come into the general fund, they want to be the only one that controls it,” Peoples-Stokes told reporters Tuesday. “I know the governor has a good heart and I know that he probably will try to make sure there are resources invested into communities of

A recent published report found the use of just one facial recognition company, Clearview AI, is widespread.

More than 600 law enforcement agencies began using it in the past year, according to the company.

The widespread use of multiple companies’ facial recognition technology is disconcerting, especially to minority communities and activists, since these communities are disproportionately monitored by law enforcement. More efficient technology would increase the disparity, advocates worry.

The New York Police Department has settled multiple lawsuits filed on behalf of the city’s Muslim community over its post-9/11 surveillance practices, including

monitoring businesses in Muslim neighborhoods and placing informants in mosques. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security also has been tracking Black Lives Matter activists, reports have shown.

“If you name a prominent civil rights leader of the 20th or 21st centuries, chances are strong that he or she was surveilled in the name of national security,” Alvaro Bedoya, founder of Georgetown University’s Center on Privacy and Technology, wrote in 2016.

the race because momentum from wins in early states can significantly change the picture going forward. The first nominating contest, the Iowa caucuses, are Monday.

The report is Pew’s first survey of the 2020 election and was conducted Jan. 6-19 and has a margin of error of 1.3 percentage points. (c)2020 Bloomberg News Visit Bloomberg News at www. bloomberg.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

According to a 2018 study, African-Americans were arrested on low-level marijuana charges eight times more than whites over the previous three years in New York City, despite multiple studies finding that different races use the drug at the same rate.

“But quite honestly he’s not the governor for life,” she continued. “There could be another governor in five years. It took decades to destroy these communities, it’s not going to take two years to fix them.”

City Tourism Board looking for new members

By Amanda Purcell Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — The city’s Tourism Board is looking for new members to serve a two-year appointment.

The chairman, 3rd Ward Alderman Calvin Lewis, serves in that capacity because he also chairs the city’s Economic Development Committee.

The city is looking for eight members, Lewis said Wednesday. Members of the tourism board during Mayor Rick Rector’s administration were typically a mix of business owners or leaders of community nonprofits.

lodging tax. The annual application fee is $45 per address plus $15 per room offered for short-term lodging.

The annual registration form and fee is due between March 1 and March 31 of each year.

The Tourism Board would keep $300,000 already collected in its coffers, but would now be required to go to the Common Council for any additional funding, just like other city boards and committees.

Last August, the Common Council voted against entering into an agreement with the Tennessee-based marketing company Chandlerthinks at the request of the Tourism Board to come up with a study that would help market Hudson.

The Council also considered

bringing Steve Chandler, founder of Chandlerthinks, to Hudson, to make a presentation to the Council at a cost of $2,000. But the resolution was tabled in November when it was announced a new tourism board would be appointed in January.

Lewis said at the Common Council meeting on Jan. 21 at City Hall, 520 Warren St., he is hoping the Tourism Board will advance local businesses and find the common ground between the community and tourism without one taking precedence over the other.

Open Space Institute announces the public phase of campaign for Minnewaska Visitor Center 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, four-season 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-of-the 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 welldeserved 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. “By participating in OSI’s forward-thinking campaign, we can ensure that future visitors to the park understand and care for its treasures.”

“The effort to raise private dollars to support the new Minnewaska Visitor Center is off to a terrific start. We are tremendously grateful to campaign chairs Jennifer Cunningham and Jim Ottaway, as well as those who have already led the way in supporting the creation of the project,” said Kim Elliman, OSI’s president and CEO. “I encourage everyone who shares our love for Minnewaska to join us in helping make the new visitor center a reality.”

Senator Jen Metzger said, “Minnewaska State Park is one of the most spectacular places in the Hudson Valley and the northeast United States, and one of my favorite destinations to hike, bike,

Let Us Make Your Life EZ-er...

cross-country ski, and swim.

The new visitor’s center will attract more visitors to the park and to Ulster County, and educate them about the incredible natural bounty in the region, deepening appreciation of all we have to offer and bringing more tourism dollars into the local economy. I am very pleased to sponsor a capital grant to help fund the construction of a lake overlook deck for the enjoyment of area residents and visitors alike, and want to express my appreciation to the Open Space Institute and the many partners that are making the new visitor’s center possible.”

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

Detox center is necessary in opioid battle In another year, the latest weapon against the opioid epidemic will be unveiled.

The detox center for the corner of Merle Avenue and Route 66 in Greenport was approved unanimously the planning board Wednesday.

The proposed 10,610-square-foot, 20-bed, medically supervised withdrawal and stabilization facility will be constructed on 1.5 acres and would open in nine months to a year if all goes well. The single-story building would serve as a place for patients to seek help and get referrals and transportation to a recovery center.

We support the detox cen-

ter because it is needed to help address the social shift in attitude toward addicts as victims, not criminals. We also support it because it will be available to patients in Greene County, too. The opioid epidemic strongly affects the populations of both counties and it must be tackled as a regional problem.

“It is a stopgap to help somebody who voluntarily wants to get help, who is suffering from addiction,” attorney Paul Freeman said Tuesday on behalf of People USA, the nonprofit proposing the project, at a public hearing at Greenport Town Hall. “Columbia and Greene counties are two of the worst

per capita opioid trouble spots in the entire state of New York.”

Hudson Mayor Kamal Johnson offered his support.

“The trend is going down across all of the other counties in New York state except for Columbia and Greene counties,” Johnson said.

“The only way we can stop this epidemic and get people real help and save lives is if we change the narrative and we have facilities like this.”

So, in a year or so, the next shield against opioid infiltration of the Twin Counties will be open. The detox center is another significant step to reduce the scourge of addiction in our communities.

ANOTHER VIEW

China tried to keep a lid on the coronavirus. It put everyone at risk.

The Washington Post

Compared with the response in some previous outbreaks, including severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2003 and swine flu in 2009, biomedical detective work got underway quickly in China in December when people began to suffer a pneumonia-like illness.

Chinese researchers isolated the new coronavirus, sequenced its genetic code and prepared reagents for diagnostics. But during all the weeks of this activity in December, Beijing largely kept the lid on information.

It did not alert the public until well into January. The thought police were still on the beat, even as the virus spread.

The common reactions of Chinese leaders to crisis - strict secrecy, media censorship, desperate attempts to protect “stability” and slavish adherence to central authority - were evident throughout the early period of the crisis, according to a detailed insider account published by the China Media Project. On Dec. 30, 2019, this account says, the Wuhan Health Commission “issued an order to hospitals, clinics and other healthcare

units strictly prohibiting the release of any information about treatment of this new disease.”

The account says that while Chinese officials informed the World Health Organization of a new coronavirus outbreak, “they did not inform their own people, but instead maintained strict secrecy.” A free press might have made a difference - it might have at least raised questions about people’s illnesses. But such a press does not exist in China.

Instead, local authorities projected an air of normality. Tourism authorities in Wuhan were issuing tickets to attractions in the city through mid-January, and one model residential community was still planning a “Spring Festival” banquet celebration for 40,000 residents. “There was no attempt to stem the flow of people to Wuhan from all over the country and around the world,” the insider account says. “During what was the most critical phase for controlling the outbreak, Wuhan was essentially an open city owing to the efforts of local officials to keep a lid on the story.” The silence of the local officials was broken

when President Xi Jinping issued official instructions to tackle the outbreak on Jan. 20 - some 40 days after the first signs were detected.

Wuhan’s mayor, Zhou Xianwang, admitted in a later state television interview that city authorities had not provided timely information to the public, but he said the reason was that “we can only reveal it after approval” from higher authorities. This is the Chinese one-party state at work, worried less about people and more about permissions. Even now, China’s censors are telling state media what to publish and policing social media, deleting posts critical of the government.

If there is anything positive to come of this, it is the vibrant grass-roots reaction.

China’s social media is afire with concern, despite the censors. Some have recalled the HBO television series “Chernobyl” to raise issues of government lying, which happened in the 1986 disaster and is happening again in Wuhan. One user recalled a quote from the show, “Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt gets paid.”

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ‘I’m so American that I had grandfathers who actually fought a battle against each other.’

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Impeachment To the editor: Donald Trump’s way of dealing with life is to lie. He’s been clocked at over 16,000 untruths. Apparently it’s contagious, because during his impeachment, the entire Republican Party is taking the same approach. Senators who boasted that they wouldn’t pretend to be impartial jurors signed a sworn oath to do just that. Mitch McConnell sneered there would be no daylight between him and the White House in this trial.

Trump’s impeachment

managers claim the president committed no crimes, despite a ruling from the non-partisan Government Accountability Office that withholding appropriated funds — let alone for purposes of extortion — is illegal. His lawyers are even claiming, in front of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, that the founders, who were obsessed with checks and balances, had nothing to say about presidential abuse of power! This is beyond mere lies. This is a threat: an authoritarian assertion of the rule of

power over law. It’s the voice of oligarchy, of obscene, fanatical, global Money.

John Roberts rebuked both sides for incivility, reminding them that the Senate is the world’s greatest deliberative body. It might have been better to condemn the suppression of any hint of true deliberation — witnesses, documents, enforcing oaths and congressional subpoenas.

2020 is an election year, and we are reaping the whirlwind.

Fear in the age of coronavirus: Chinese no longer welcome Eric Pfanner Bloomberg

Airlines halt flights from China. Schools in Europe uninvite exchange students.

Restaurants in South Korea turn away Chinese customers.

As a deadly virus spreads beyond China, governments, businesses and educational institutions are struggling to find the right response.

Safeguarding public health is a priority. How to do that without stigmatizing the entire population of the country where the outbreak began -and where nearly a fifth of all humans reside — is the challenge.

With the death toll reaching 170 and the roster of cases climbing above 7,700, worries are growing. Many global companies with operations in China have asked workers to stay home. Airlines are curtailing flights to the nation.

Several countries have begun evacuating citizens from the most stricken zone around the city of Wuhan.

Though the vast majority of cases involve people from the central Chinese metropolis or nearby cities, or those who have been in contact with them, people of Asian appearance around the world say they’ve been subject to increased wariness since the disease began spreading. In some cases, baser emotions have come to the fore.

In South Korea, signs have begun popping up on restaurant windows saying, “no Chinese allowed.” A Korean casino catering to foreign visitors said it’s no longer accepting groups of tourists from China. More than half a million people signed a petition, submitted to the government, calling for a ban on visitors from the nearby country of 1.4 billion.

A Chinese woman visiting the Japanese city of Ito -- on a peninsula south of Tokyo — said that a server at a restaurant shouted “Chinese!

Out!” at her, according to a recording shared on a Weibo account.

The recording, which included a subsequent phone call to the unnamed eatery, was shared by a reporter from Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV. A woman who answered the phone at the restaurant said it was refusing customers from China and Southeast

Tourists wearing face masks walk along a shopping street leading to the Sensoji temple in the Asakusa district of Tokyo on Jan. 28, 2020.

Asia because the owner was worried about the coronavirus, according to the recording. “If our owner contracts the virus and dies, whose responsibility is it then?” she said.

Health concerns aside, the reaction in South Korea and Japan to the virus reflects longstanding friction with China, as well as resentment over its growing influence in the region. That’s even as an influx of visitors from China has boosted neighboring economies, including South Korea, where tourists surged by a quarter to more than 5.5 million through November from the previous year.

Signs of insensitivity aren’t limited to Asia. French regional newspaper Courrier Picard sparked outrage with its headline “Yellow Alert” on a front-page story about the coronavirus. The paper apologized to readers who took to Twitter to condemn the allusion to “Yellow Peril,” a xenophobic term referring to the peoples of East Asia that dates to the 19th century.

In Denmark, the Chinese Embassy called on the country’s Jyllands-Posten newspaper to apologize for an editorial cartoon that depicts China’s flag with virus symbols instead of stars on a red background.

“We feel angry and we feel sad because it’s a kind of insult to our people and to our flag,” John Liu, Secretary General at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Denmark,

said in a television interview.

The paper declined to apologize, citing Denmark’s tradition of freedom of speech.

In Australia, the Chinese women’s soccer team and its support staff have been placed under quarantine in a Brisbane hotel after arriving in the country for an Olympic qualifying tournament, according to the Queensland health minister.

Those of Chinese descent, but not from China, have also been met with harsh reactions. In Sri Lanka, a group of tourists from Singapore — a Southeast Asian country where the majority of people are of Chinese descent -- were barred from climbing local attraction Ella Rock because of their appearance, according to Tucker Chang, 66, one of the tourists. No one in the group had a history of recent travel to China.

In France, the ministry of foreign affairs advised schools and universities to postpone student exchanges with China. At least one high school in Paris withdrew invitations to a group of students set to arrive this week.

In Canada, parents in communities north of Toronto started a petition urging schools to force students who recently returned from China to stay home for at least 17 days to avoid any chance of spreading the disease. The petition has garnered almost 10,000 signatures in the area, which has large ethnic-Chinese and Asian populations.

Super Bowl plans drive record Verizon misses earnings estimates on imports of Mexican avocados 5G costs, Disney+ offer Justin Villamil and Marvin G. Perez Bloomberg

Scott Moritz Bloomberg

Verizon Communications missed profit estimates while adding more than a million new wireless subscribers, a possible precursor to challenges ahead as the company races against rivals in a costly nationwide expansion of next-generation 5G wireless services.

Earnings, excluding some items, totaled $1.13 a share.

The number of regular monthly wireless subscribers rose by 1.25 million, which includes new phones, hot spots, smartwatches and other connected devices, according to the statement. Analysts expected earnings of $1.15 a share and 1.23

million new wireless subscribers. Revenue of $34.8 billion was ahead of estimates.

Verizon shares dipped as much as 2% to $58.34 in New York trading Thursday.

Verizon’s gains in regular monthly subscribers were boosted by offering free limited-time access to the Disney+ video streaming service, as part of an enticement to get wireless customers to select higher-tiered unlimited data plans. The undisclosed cost of that promotion and the amount paid to Walt Disney Co. for each subscriber helped put a dent in the bottom line, as did declines in phone sales and a continued drag from its landline business.

Americans gearing up for the Super Bowl this Sunday helped push imports of Mexican avocados to the best week of all time.

Almost 75 million pounds crossed the border from the world’s largest exporter of the fruit in the week through Jan. 19, according to the Haas Avocado Board. That’s up 3 percent from the same period in 2019.

The industry is making a concerted push to capitalize on the peak avocado consumption day in the U.S., when consumers across the country buy guacamole in preparation for the game. In 2018, Mexico exported 2.5

billion pounds of avocados to the U.S. “We expect to see volumes continue to trend upward,” said Alvaro Luque, the president and chief executive officer of industry association Avocados From Mexico.

“Even at full production levels, the U.S. cannot fully supply the demand, creating a complementary relationship between U.S. and Mexican avocado farmers.”

Luque added that retailers across the country are promoting avocados heavily during the leadup to the Super Bowl, and that his organization has partnered with hot sauce maker Cholula and beer brand Bud Light for a promotional campaign.

Mexico remains the top supplier to the U.S. with 87% of market share in 2018, according to a December report from the U.S. Agriculture Department. Producers in the Latin American nation are looking to increase yields to meet booming global demand.

The record week is good news for the industry, which has faced issues related to cartel violence as groups seek to muscle in on the increasingly profitable avocado trade. Last year, a potential security incident led the USDA to briefly suspend Mexico’s Haas Avocado Program certification activities in Michoacan state.

Coca-Cola posts solid growth, helped by low-sugar soda Deena Shanker and Andres Guerra Luz Bloomberg

Coca-Cola Co. rose after reporting better-than-expected revenue growth for the fourth quarter, citing rising demand overseas and higher demand for its low-sugar offerings in the U.S. The Atlanta-based beverage giant said unit case volume gained 3%.

Organic revenue, which strips out some items like currency effects, increased 7% — above analysts’ average estimate of 4.9% growth, according to Bloomberg Consensus. Quarterly earnings matched the average of analysts’ predictions. See details here.

Diversifying its product lineup beyond sugary soda is paying off. CocaCola Zero Sugar had another year of

double digit volume growth, the Atlanta-based company said. Abroad, one of its juice and smoothie brand, Innocent, will expand further in 2020.

The recently acquired dairy business, Fairlife, also has contributed to sales growth.

Executives said in a call with analysts that it is too early to tell what the short-term impact would be from the

coronavirus outbreak in China that has killed more than 100 and disrupted daily life for millions. For now, the company is prioritizing employee safety and supporting efforts to contain the virus. Coke officials said that the SARS outbreak of almost two decades ago ended up not being particularly noticeable from a business standpoint.

In response, York school board chair Juanita Nathan and education director Louise Sirisko have written to parents advising them that such requests run the risk of “demonstrating bias and racism,” even when made in the name of safety.

“What we’re really trying to get at is to [make sure] this situation is not giving rise to any inadvertent racism,” Nathan told CBC Radio’s Metro Morning. “I think the parents may be overly cautious and very anxious.”

Asians have taken to social media to register their hurt and outrage. Over the past two days, the hashtag #jenesuispasunvirus — “I am not a virus” in French — trended on Twitter as thousands of ethnically Asian internet users spoke out against the surge in discrimination.

Bloomberg’s Morten Buttler, Lisa Du, Jihye Lee, Angelina Rascouet, Ye Xie, Tara Patel, David Scanlan, Fion Li, Peter Pae, Kazunori Takada and Matthew Burgess contributed to this report.

Literacy Connections of the Hudson Valley needs volunteers HUDSON — Literacy Connections of the Hudson Valley is looking for people who love reading, who want to share the gift of literacy in the English language with an adult learner in Columbia or Greene County.

No previous teaching experience is necessary. New volunteers are required to attend a free orientation session, after which they will complete the online training, which can be adapted to fit most schedules.

The next orientation session will be held 10 a.m.-noon

Feb. 18 at the Hudson Area Library, 51 N. Fifth St., Hudson. The follow-up session is scheduled for March 17 at the same time and location.

Learn about the difference between basic reading and teaching English as a Second Language at the orientation session. Also learn more about Literacy Connections’ other volunteer opportunities. Sign up for the Tutor Training by email to colgreene@literacyconnections. org or by calling 518-828-1792 ext. 104. Provide name, email address, phone number and

area where you would like to volunteer when registering.

Literacy Connections’ Columbia and Greene County Office is located within the office of the Hudson Area Library and regular hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays; 1-8 p.m. Wednesdays; and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Fridays. Literacy Connections North is partially funded by the Dyson Foundation United Way of Columbia & Greene Counties, the generosity of friends of literacy, and individual community contributions.

Literacy New York offers minigrants to volunteer literacy programs BUFFALO — Thanks to supporters who helped create the “Janice Cuddahee Fund,” Literacy New York (LNY) announces that grants are available to help communitybased literacy groups purchase LNY’s online Intake to Outcomes (I2O) Tutor Training. I2O offers literacy organizations the ability to provide tutor training “on demand” and potential volunteers can complete the workshops on their own schedules.

According to Kathy Houghton, LNY’s executive director, “Janice passed away in 2019 and the Janice Cuddahee Fund honors her 38 years of service to Literacy New York and her adult education passion. She believed strongly in the role of professionally trained tutors and the effective use of technology.”

The fund received a $25,000 lead gift from Elizabeth S. and Carl H. Pforzheimer III. “Betty and Carl have been

long-time supporters of LNY,” said Houghton, “and Betty chaired Literacy NY’s Board of Directors in the 1990s and was a good friend of Janice’s.

We are so honored that they helped us launch the Fund and continue to share ideas that will help it grow.”

Other donors, including the first monthly donor, are helping the Janice Cuddahee Fund reach its 2020 goal of $55,000. Income from the fund can now provide grants to fund 54 Intake to Outcomes Tutor Training workshops.

The mini-grants are intended to help small programs with limited training budgets access high quality workshops.

The training offers evidencebased, current information and strategies around serving adult basic literacy and English language learners, including math instruction.

If you are a volunteer literacy program serving adult learners and looking for tutor

training that can professionally build the skills of your volunteers, Literacy New York encourages you to apply for Intake to Outcomes (I2O) workshops at https://forms. gle/kr3T2VCFec6dyXfd6.

For information about the Intake to Outcomes training, go to: https://intake-tooutcomes.teachable.com/ or contact Literacy New York at comm@literacynewyork.org or 716-651-0465.

Literacy New York (LNY) works to create and strengthen literate communities throughout New York State.

Since 1974, LNY has provided technical assistance, training, program support, and advocacy for adult literacy. Programs supported by LNY raise literacy levels for thousands of adult learners in New York State through the services of dedicated volunteers, staff, and boards.

“Our nation’s service academies cultivate exceptional officers, and it is a privilege to nominate some of the best and brightest students from the Capital Region to attend these distinguished institutions,” Gillibrand said. “These future leaders

have outstanding academic records and a passion for service. I look forward to watching the successes of all of our nominees as they further their education and serve our nation in the armed forces.”

Decisions were based on criteria including academic record, leadership potential, and overall achievement.

COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

The Organ Masters: Bach, Louprette and Stauffer GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The Berkshire Bach Society presents acclaimed organist Renée Anne Louprette in a recital of music by J.S. Bach in its annual Organ Masters series at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Unitarian Universalist Meeting House in Housatonic.

This year’s concert comes with a bonus: Louprette’s husband, distinguished musicologist and Bach specialist George B. Stauffer, shares the spotlight and provides insight into Bach’s organ music, introducing the individual works on the program and tracing the development of Bach’s style. The concert promises to be a special experience, both auditory and intellectual, and showcases the 1893 Johnson and Son organ that is a hidden gem of the Berkshires.

Louprette has been hailed

by The New York Times as “one of New York’s finest

Renée Anne Louprette

George B. Stauffer

organists,” and has an active international performance and recording career.

Her program includes four of the Great Eighteen Chorale Preludes, BWV 651–668 that she recorded on the Metzler Organ, Trinity College, Cambridge, in 2014. The recording was named a classical music Critic’s Choice by The New York Times. Other works on the program include the rarely-heard Pastorella, BWV

590, the Prelude and Fugue in D minor, BWV 549a, the Fantasia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 537, and the Allegro from the Concerto in C Major (“Il grosso mogul”), BWV 594, that Bach transcribed from the original Concerto for Violin in D Major, RV 208 by Antonio Vivaldi.

Stauffer is the author of several well-regarded books, including “J.S. Bach: The Mass in B Minor” and “The World of

Baroque Music,” and is currently at work on a book analyzing Bach’s organ music. He is the rare scholar who has also had a performance career, studying organ at Juilliard and serving as university organist and chapel music director at Columbia University. Thus, he knows whereof he speaks— and the audience is the beneficiary.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear Louprette and Stauffer at the UU Meeting House. Tickets are $25, and $20 for Berkshire Bach Society members, online and at the door. Admission is free for children under 18 and students with ID. A reception follows the concert. Call ahead to reserve handicapped parking.

For more information, visit www.berkshirebach.org.

HUDSON – With more than 40 rescued farm animals in their care, the owners of Chatham Animal Haven have their hands (and barns) full. So much so that they are hunting for a new, larger property and, not coincidentally, trying to raise funds for that purpose.

Enter 25 regional artists (and at least one from overseas) with hearts of gold. The individuals, solicited by CAH co-founder Colleen Carpenter-Rice, have agreed to “adopt” a letter and create an original piece of art that will subsequently be auctioned off on behalf of the benefit.

“Animals A-Z”, an art show and auction, will be on display in the Kaaterskill Gallery in the main building at Columbia-Greene Community College from Wednesday, February 5th, through the 28th. An opening reception takes place Tuesday evening, February 4th, from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. (Snow date – Feb. 11th).

Online bidding starts February 5th at www.biddingowl. com/ChathamAnimalHavenInc .

Chatham Animal Haven was formed in 2014 and is dedicated to rescue and care for abused, neglected and surrendered farm animals.

They provide safe shelter, food and veterinary care so the residents can live out their lives in a peaceful and loving environment. A non-profit

“The minute I was

approached by Colleen, I knew I’d say yes,” said Kim Bach, an artist and creator of “Q”, an oil stick rendition of a Quail. The owner of Verdigris Tea, who has received a Yaddo Fellowship Grant and has works in the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco, was happy to contribute. “How could I not help make life easier for those animals?

Spot bald eagles at Boscobel Viewing site for Teatown Hudson River Eagle Fest on Saturday, Feb. 8 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

GARRISON — The bald eagle’s return to the Hudson River Valley after being on the brink of extinction is one of the great conservation success stories of our time. In celebration, on Saturday, Feb. 8, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m, Boscobel will be a viewing site for Teatown Hudson River EagleFest.

During EagleFest at Boscobel, naturalists from Constitution Marsh Audubon Center and Sanctuary and the Putnam Highlands Audubon Society will be on site at the Belevedere, Boscobel’s scenic overlook, with binoculars and scopes to help visitors spot bald eagles as they feed on fish and waterfowl in the Hudson River’s unfrozen waters.

Each winter, between December and March, bald eagles from Canada, northern New York, and New England fly south to the Hudson Valley. Biologists estimate that approximately 150 bald eagles overwinter

in the lower Hudson Valley, which a f -

firms the continued health of this habitat. (In 2007, the bald eagle was removed from the federal list of endangered and threatened species.)

Admission to Boscobel for this event is pay-whatyou-wish. Please check in at the Visitor Center upon arrival. For the comfort of Boscobel guests, warming shelters will be set up adjacent to the viewing site and hot

beverages will be available for sale.

Teatown Hudson River EagleFest is headquartered at Croton Point Park in Westchester County. Tickets to EagleFest in Croton are available at Teatown.org.

Boscobel is located at 1601 Route 9D, Garrison, NY 10524. Built in 1808 and founded as a museum in 1961, Boscobel House and Gardens is one of America’s most beautiful historic sites. Open Wednesday through Monday from May to December, Boscobel preserves and shares its Neoclassical mansion and 68 acres of gardens and grounds with dramatic views of the Hudson River, lush gardens, and a woodland trail. Boscobel presents lively community events, innovative exhibitions, and engaging programs and activities for families.

Children are always welcome.

‘The Nuns, The Priests and The Bombs’ screening Feb. 8 CHATHAM — “The Nuns, The Priests and The Bombs” will be screened on Saturday, Feb. 8, with a potluck at 6 p.m. and film at 7 p.m., in the Old Chatham Quaker Meetinghouse, 539 County Route 13, Old Chatham, across from Pitt Hall Road and Powell House.

Since 1980 activists in lay and religious life have undertaken dramatic Plowshares protests, derived from the biblical injunction, “They shall beat their swords into Plowshares,” risking long prison sentences in an ongoing campaign to move the world away from the nuclear brink.

This film follows two

cases: the July 2012 breakin at the site known as America’s “Fort Knox of Uranium,” where the intruders were an 82-year old Catholic nun and two fellow peace activists, and the 2009 Plowshares action at a U.S. naval base near Seattle, Washington. The film follows the activists’ legal efforts to justify their actions under international law and highlights the power of their moral conviction.

Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served and a moderated discussion will follow. For more information call 518610-3735. For directions: www.oldchathamquakers.

LOCAL ROUNDUP:

Maple Hill girls remain unbeaten in Patroon

By Matt Fortunato Columbia-Greene Media

CATSKILL —The Maple Hill Wildcats claimed another Patroon Conference girls basketball victory on Wednesday night, as they battled the Catskill Cats on the road.

This was a close game early, but the Wildcats pulled away in the second half and won, 55-24.

This gives Maple Hill their 13th win in the Patroon Conference, where they sit atop the standings and remain unbeaten. Wildcats sophomore Sophia Chevrier led all players in scoring with her 14 points on the evening.

Early in the matchup, both teams struggled to keep the ball long enough to shoot, and Maple Hill was only up 4-0 a few minutes in.

Catskill called a timeout and it eventually worked against them because it gave their opponents a free break to reset their offense and the Wildcats took advantage. At the end of the first, the Cats were only down 15-7 and showing promise.

Catskill came out in the second period keeping up their defensive pressure and getting open shots themselves. One thing the Cats could not do however, was outrebound Maple Hill on the offensive glass, and the Wildcats would get second and third chances on missed shots.

The Wildcats were up by nine points at halftime, but Catskill just had to start knocking down shots and score to get back in it.

Catskill began the third still playing great defense to slow down Maple Hill’s offensive attack, but they squandered their opportunities the defense afforded them. Before long, the fourth quarter had arrived and Maple Hill was running away with it.

CLOSING IN ON A MILESTONE

Derrick Thomas’ mom visits his grave, 30 miles from where Chiefs are in the Super Bowl Sam McDowell The Kansas City Star

TIM MARTIN/COLUMBIA-GREENE MEDIA

Catskill senior DeVon Haye, shown here driving to the basket in this past Sunday’s game against Hudson, is 22 points away from reaching 1,000 for his varsity career heading into tonight’s game against Taconic Hills at Catskill High School.

MIAMI — Early Monday morning, a 71-year-old woman trudged into the passenger seat of a Nissan sedan. She provided an address, and the GPS displayed a 45-minute trek south. The car’s engine revved.

You ready?

“Well,” she said, taking a deep breath, “I don’t know.

“This is not my favorite place to go.”

She knows she should make this trip more often, that she should see her son’s resting place, but the emotions make it too difficult. It’s been more than a year now since she visited.

Derrick Thomas, once the most feared man on the NFL’s best defense, died 20 years ago next month, first paralyzed by a car wreck in Kansas City and then killed two weeks later by a blood clot in his legs.

Born in Miami, he was the oldest of Edith Morgan’s seven kids, the most popular player on a beloved Chiefs team and gone at 33.

On Sunday, the Chiefs will play in the Super Bowl, the game Morgan said her son always dreamed of reaching, just 30 miles from where Thomas was laid to rest. Seven days later, she will honor the 20th anniversary of his death with a bowling tournament to benefit charity.

Morgan would spend the 45-minute car ride reminiscing, initially about her son’s

football career and then about his lasting legacy, the Third and Long Foundation for child literacy.

But as the entrance to Dade Memorial South drew near, she quieted.

“Over there,” she offered as directions in the vast cemetery.

The casket sits in a mausoleum, the former Chiefs linebacker surrounded by strangers. Morgan walked slowly and with a limp, her eyes locking on Section 2W, Row 3, far right.

Derrick Vincent Thomas.

January 1, 1967.

February 8, 2000.

With hands she passed on to her son, Morgan rubbed along the stone surface, gripping the inscription of his name and then a photo of Thomas donning the red No. 58 jersey the Chiefs would retire in 2009. Every day for 20 years, he has popped into her mind, hourly more than daily. His smile. His giving nature.

She wiped a single tear from her face and then another.

“Why did you have to go and leave me?” she said.

The details of those weeks in 2000 remain vivid. Morgan arrived home to the news Thomas had been in a serious car crash on Interstate 435 that killed one passenger instantly. Thomas was headed to Kansas City International Airport to catch a flight to St. Louis for the NFC See BOWL B3

You can’t compare Jimmy G to Montana and Young, but there are similarities Joe Davidson The Sacramento Bee

We are not fool enough to compare Jimmy Garoppolo to Joe Montana or Steve Young.

We’re not that concussed.

So, let’s compare them, OK? It’s Super Bowl week and all storylines are open game. Why not dig into what ties the three together?

For starters, they have this on their resume: played quarterback for the 49ers. Each is 6-foot-2. Each was known to operate with a sense of cool in the heat of competition. Each earned the respect of teammates.

Simple guys with simple names and Herculean tasks: Joe, Steve and Jimmy. Jimmy

Garoppolo has a better quarterback ring to it than Jim Garoppolo. Fans and even some TV media fanboy and girl sorts can easier gush, “Jimmy G!” than “Jim G!” Like Montana and Young before him, Garoppolo could fire off a witty one-liner. He joked once, “I thank my parents for the good looks It’s the Italian tan.” He has also trademarked his saying of “Feels great, baby!”

Each reached a Super Bowl multiple times. Montana did so four times with four victories. Young won three Super Bowl rings, twice as a backup to Montana and once as a record-setting starter when San Francisco last won the sport’s

grandest prize. Garoppolo has two Super Bowl rings from his

time with the Patriots stashed away, “back in Chicago, safe

and sound,” he said recently.

He earned those as a backup to Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. Garoppolo studied and learned from Brady, who might just be the best quarterback in the 100-year history of the NFL not named Joe Montana.

Young also learned as a backup, burning to lead his own team. Young and Garoppolo share that common bond of patience being a virtue, leading to opportunity and the Super Bowl.

In order to muscle into the Montana/Young crowd and within that considerable shadow, Garoppolo understands what he has to do: Seize the moment. Finish the task.

He has to beat Kansas City on Sunday in Miami, the same venue in which Montana won his third Super Bowl following the 1988 season in his most dramatic Super finish. Miami is also where Young fired six touchdown passes to throttle San Diego to cap the 1994 season.

Young on KNBR radio in the Bay Area said he would tell Garoppolo of the Super Bowl, “that it happens fast, and you’ve got to be super careful.

Seasons end quickly It’s a door-die situation. Don’t waste a down.”

Garoppolo hasn’t wasted any downs. He has embraced See JIMMY G B3

gone 11-3 this month to reach .500 (24-24) for the first time since Dec. 31, 2018. Marcus Morris Sr. scored 17 points to lead the Knicks.

A brawl nearly broke out with 48.1

seconds left when Crowder stole an inbounds pass by Julius Randle intended for Elfrid Payton, the latter of whom shoved Crowder as he went up for a 3-pointer. Payton was charged

with a flagrant-2 and was ejected along with Crowder and the Knicks’ Marcus Morris Sr. New York’s Damyean Dotson and Memphis’ Jonas Valanciunas were also issued technical fouls.

Dinwiddie helped the Nets end a four-game home losing streak and win for only the fourth time in their past 17 games. After changing his number from No. 8 to No. 26, Dinwiddie shot 8 of 13 and scored his secondmost points as a reserve this season.

Bogdan Bogdanovic had a teamhigh 23 points for the Kings, who saw a two-game winning streak end.

Bowl From B1

Championship Game. He wasn’t wearing a seat belt, a detail that still haunts his mother today.

The single-car wreck paralyzed Thomas, who received care at a hospital in his hometown of Miami. He had begun to adjust to a new normal, Morgan says, receiving daily rehab treatments, laughing as friends and teammates wheeled him down the facility’s hallways.

All the while a blood clot grew in his legs. Without feeling, it remained undiscovered.

It moved to his lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.

He died as Morgan’s arms wrapped around him, helping to move him to his wheelchair.

“His eyes rolled back,” she said. “I was in the nursing profession for 33 years, and my son literally died in my arms, and there was nothing I could

his role as a franchise leader, though it took some getting used to. He came into the NFL a great deal less heralded than Montana and Young, in part because he attended the leastknown college of the lot.

Montana went to Notre Dame and led late-game triumphs under the shadow of Touchdown Jesus. Young went to BYU and set passing records in Provo under the spiritual shadow of his great, great, great grandfather, Brigham Young.

Garoppolo is the pride of Eastern Illinois University, a smaller college in the Ohio Valley Conference. You may know the mascot at Notre Dame and BYU — Irish and Cougars. And Eastern Illinois?

Correct! It’s Billy the Panther.

As for in-season feats, Garoppolo joined Montana and Young as the only 49ers to pass for 400 yards and toss four touchdowns in a single game, doing so against Arizona in November. After that game, Garoppolo said of being lumped in with the Hall of Fame passers, “any time you’re in a sentence with those two names, it’s always an honor. But I’ve got a long way to go to catch up to those two. They did some great things around here.”

Garoppolo has the same sort of team-first mantra championed by Montana and Young. You win with ego-less guys like that.

“He’s open. (Garoppolo) is one of the guys,” 49ers

do to save him.”

Thomas left behind nine kids. Morgan remains close with many.

Some 22,000 fans would flock to Arrowhead Stadium to say goodbye. He’d connected with so many, known in Kansas City for a foundation still going strong today led by president Betty Brown.

“Everybody loved Derrick, I still get Derrick Thomas stories,” Morgan said, and she pointed out a quote carved into the stone.

Your flame will eternally burn in our hearts, it reads.

Former Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson had said those words of Thomas. Morgan liked it. Thought it fit her son.

Thomas was a force of nature on the football field, his seven-sack game still an NFL record. In 2009, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But she remembers the smile, like the one in that image of her son sitting in the rain during that monsoon at Arrowhead.

Thomas never did receive a chance to play in the Super Bowl, two agonizing playoff losses tarnishing promising 1995 and 1997 seasons, years in which the Chiefs had the best defense in football. Morgan still follows closely, refers to the Chiefs as “we” and attends games at Arrowhead at least annually and usually even more often. She wishes Thomas had the opportunity to play with Patrick Mahomes.

Their personalities would have meshed so well together, she says, and “They would’ve went to the Super Bowl earlier.”

An artist’s painting went viral earlier this year, showing Thomas with his arm wrapped around Mahomes. Morgan loved it. It also made her cry.

So will this week.

“This week is very, very emotional,” Morgan said. “It’s a very happy time, and it’s a very sad time. Happy that the Chiefs made it after 50 years.

Sad that’s it’s happening when Derrick worked so hard to try to get here, and he’s going to

cornerback Richard Sherman said late in the regular season.

“If there’s a Christmas event, he’s not too big for it. If we’re throwing a Halloween deal at a bar and the whole team is there, he’ll be there. He’ll not be like, ‘Aw man I’ll show up for just a second.’ He’ll stay until the thing closes, and he’ll have conversations with everybody. He’s not too big for any one of his teammates, and that’s important.”

Young has always been a straight arrow, a Mormon who doesn’t drink, smoke or even curse. He has spit on occasion.

Montana once wore a T-shirt in the 49ers locker room that read, “Forty (bleepin’) Niners!” Garoppolo has paraded around the locker room with a T-shirt of similar comedic shock value, such as the picture of exasperated tight end George Kittle.

Young and Montana will be in Miami this week. It’s a certainty that at some point, they will run into Garoppolo.

They’re pulling for him because he’s firmly entrenched as 49ers family now.

Montana and Young attended the NFC playoff victories the 49ers posted on Minnesota and Green Bay at Levi’s Stadium. Garoppolo wasn’t intimidated by their presence.

He was inspired by it.

“I love that we keep it in the family ... having them around is cool,” Garoppolo said. “It just makes you realize the history of this organization.”

Garoppolo has been asked by his bosses to be steady this season, but he does have spectacular ability. In beating New Orleans, 48-46, Garoppolo passed for 349 yards and four touchdowns. He was 18 of 22

passing for 285 yards to beat Seattle in the Pacific Northwest to clinch the top seed in the NFC with a 13-3 record.

That’s the same mark Montana had in 1981 when he started his first NFC Championship game, and it’s the same record and standing Young achieved in 1994 for his first NFC championship triumph.

So yes, there are similarities.

In Montana’s first NFC title tilt, he started slow and finished fast. He overcame three interceptions but tossed the epic touchdown to Dwight Clark for “The Catch” for a 28-27 triumph of Dallas. Two weeks later, he was the MVP of Super Bowl XVI. Twenty five years ago, Young wasn’t typically sharp, completing just 13 of 39 passes for 155 yards, but he took a victory lap at Candlestick Park to celebrate a 3828 win over Dallas to launch into Super Bowl XXIX. There, Young was sharp, tossing six touchdowns to roll San Diego.

In Garoppolo’s NFC Championship effort over Green Bay, he was masterful in handing off and getting out of the way. He completed 6 of 8 passes for 77 yards in looking the role of vintage 1972 Miami Dolphins Bob Griese. The 49ers rushed 42 times, and Raheem Mostert carried the load to the tune of 220 yards and four touchdowns.

More Sherman, “We see (Garoppolo) every day. We see what kind of work ethic he puts in, the hours he puts in preparing, the first one in, the last one out. The guy looks for no credit. All he does is encourage his teammates and put more work in.”

That’s so Montana and Young of him.

Midway through the fourth, the Wildcats led 45-22 and just coast out the rest of the game, scoring when they felt like it and chewing time off of the clock.

At the final buzzer the Maple Hill Wildcats waltzed to their 13th Patroon Conference victory, Catskill suffered their 3rd loss in the conference and they sit in fourth place with Cairo-Durham and Hudson between them and Maple Hill.

Friday night, the Wildcats

miss it. But I know that he’s up there shining down, looking at it and taking it all in stride.”

After more than a year between trips to Dade Memorial South, Morgan is planning to return Friday. Former Chiefs players are coming to the Super Bowl, those who were once teammates with Thomas. They want to visit him. Talk to him.

She’s not yet convinced she will be up for it.

On Monday, after she returned to the sedan, her phone flooded with calls. She had told friends and family she was coming. They worried for her.

“It’s been a hard, emotional day,” she said. “But it was good to see him again. I miss him, miss him, miss him so much.”

Top 25 roundup: Texas Tech takes down No. 12 West Virginia Field Level Media

Davide Moretti’s career-high 25 points and hot shooting as a team helped Texas Tech upset No. 12 West Virginia 89-81 Wednesday night in Lubbock, Texas.

Terrence Shannon Jr. added 23 points and seven rebounds while Jahmi’us Ramsey scored 21 for the Red Raiders, who made 25 of 46 shots for 54.3 percent and 28 of 32 free throws (87.5 percent) for the game.

West Virginia didn’t score a field goal for the final 3:53 of the game. Derek Culver led the Mountaineers (16-4, 4-3 Big 12) with 16 points, one of five West Virginia players to score in double figures.

Five free throws from Shannon late in the first half helped Texas Tech (13-7, 4-3) take a 41-30 lead with 1:02 to play. The 11-point lead was the Red Raiders’ largest of the half, and Shannon scored 13 of his points, including seven free throws.

No. 1 Baylor 67, Iowa State 53 MaCio Teague scored 15 points and led a balanced offensive attack as the Bears roared past the Cyclones at Ames, Iowa.

Baylor (18-1, 7-0 Big 12) led by 20 points after a second straight basket by Teague with 5:32 to play and was never challenged down the stretch. Devonte Bandoo and Freddie Gillespie added 12 points each for the Bears. Davion Mitchell hit for 10 points, and Mark Vital grabbed nine rebounds.

Rasir Bolton, who was named the Big 12 Conference Newcomer of Week on Monday, led the Cyclones (9-11, 2-5) with 19 points. Tyresse Haliburton contributed 17 points and eight rebounds for Iowa State, which has lost four of its past five games.

No. 4 San Diego State 85, New Mexico 57 The Aztecs jumped out to an early 17-0 lead and cruised the rest of the way, extending their program-best start with a rout of the Lobos in Albuquerque.

In the process of continuing both its best start ever and longest winning streak in program

history, San Diego State (22-0, 11-0 Mountain West Conference) ended New Mexico’s perfect start at home.

The Lobos (16-7, 5-5) came into the contest 13-0 at the famed venue better known as The Pit, but the closest they ever came after the Aztecs’ initial surge was within 14 points.

No. 6 Louisville 86, Boston College 69 Jordan Nwora fired in a career-high 37 points as the Cardinals pulled away late in the second half to defeat the Eagles in Chestnut Hill, Mass.

Nwora, whose previous career high was 32 points, converted 11 of 20 field-goal attempts, going 7 of 14 from 3-point range. Nwora was also 8 of 9 at the foul line and added nine rebounds as the Cardinals (18-3, 9-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) maintained first place in the league.

Derryck Thornton scored 17 points for the Eagles (10-11, 4-6), who also got 16 from Jay Heath and 13 points from Jairus Hamilton.

No. 7 Dayton 73, Duquesne 69 Obi Toppin scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Flyers held on to beat the host Dukes in Pittsburgh.

The Dukes erased a 19-point, second-half deficit and trailed 71-69 after Marcus Weathers made 1 of 2 free throws with 33 seconds left.

Toppin was fouled and made two free throws with 15 seconds left to ice the game for the Flyers (19-2, 8-0 Atlantic 10 Conference).

Michael Hughes led the Dukes (15-5, 5-3) with 19 points off the bench.

No. 10 Seton Hall 64, DePaul 57 Myles Powell scored 18 of his 24 points in the second half and the Pirates overcame a ninepoint deficit to win their 10th in a row in beating the visiting Blue Demons in Big East play at Newark, N.J. Powell scored nine straight points to lift the Pirates (16-4, 8-0 Big East) from a 51-49 hole to give them a 58-51 lead with 4:31 left in the game. Powell moved into fourth on Seton Hall’s career scoring list in helping the Pirates to 10 straight wins for the first time since 1992-93.

Charlie Moore scored 14 and Jalen ColemanLands added 10 for DePaul (13-8, 1-7), which has lost three straight, but didn’t always play like a team that’s last in the conference. The Blue Demons held Seton Hall to 38.6 percent shooting, but committed 20 turnovers and shot 33.3 percent overall.

No. 13 Kentucky 71, Vanderbilt 62 The Commodores set an all-time Southeastern Conference record with its 25th straight loss in league regular-season play in losing at the Wildcats in Lexington, Ky. Guard Tyrese Maxey helped the Wildcats (16-4, 6-1 SEC) erase a double-digit, secondhalf deficit with 17 points in the contest. Guards Ashton Hagans and Immanuel Quickley added 12 and 11 each, and forward Nick Richards had 15 points and 11 rebounds.

Guards Saben Lee (21 points), Scotty Pippen Jr. (12), Max Evans (10) and forward Dylan Disu (13 points, 11 rebounds, five blocks) led the Commodores (8-12, 0-7). Vanderbilt had shared the record losing skid with Sewanee, which lost 24 in a row between 1938-40 before leaving the SEC. No. 14 Michigan State 79, Northwestern 50 The Spartans blew open a tight game with a dominant run that bridged both halves in a lopsided win over the visiting Wildcats in East Lansing, Mich.

Cassius Winston scored a game-high 18 points for the balanced Spartans (16-5, 8-2 Big Ten), which took over first place in the conference by a half-game over Illinois. Xavier Tillman and reserve Foster Loyer added 12 points each.

Pat Spencer scored 11 points to pace the Wildcats (6-14, 1-9), who fell deeper into the Big Ten basement. Northwestern made just 19 of 54 shots from the field, including only 3 of 19 from the 3-point line, as it suffered its 12th consecutive defeat against Michigan State.

No. 21 Houston 69, East Carolina 59 Caleb Mills had 18 points and six assists and Quentin Grimes added 15 points and six

rebounds to lead the Cougars over the Pirates in an American Athletic Conference game at Greenville, N.C. East Carolina’s Jayden Gardner had 29 points, 19 rebounds and three assists. Behind Gardner’s effort – he played all 40 minutes – the Pirates became the first team to not be outrebounded by the Cougars this season. Each team had 43 rebounds.

Houston (17-4, 7-1 AAC) has won five consecutive games and 11 of its last 12. The Cougars also increased their winning streak against East Carolina (9-12, 3-5) to nine games.

No. 22 LSU 90, Alabama 76 Emmitt Williams and Trendon Watford had double-doubles as the Tigers rolled to a 20-point first-half lead and defeated the visiting Crimson Tide.

Williams had 23 points and 11 rebounds and Watford had 17 points and 15 rebounds as the Tigers (16-4, 6-1 SEC) outrebounded the Crimson Tide 49-31. Skylar Mays added 18 points and Darius Days and Javonte Smart scored 12 each.

Jaden Shackelford scored 21, Alex Reese had 17 and Kira Lewis Jr. had 13 to lead Alabama (12-8, 4-3). John Petty, the seventh-leading scorer in the SEC with an average of 16.4 points per game, came off the bench for the Tide and scored four points on 1-for-7 shooting.

No. 24 Penn State 64, Indiana 49 Lamar Stevens scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lift the Nittany Lions past the Hoosiers in University Park, Pa. In the process, Stevens passed Joe Crispin (1,986 points) and moved into third place on the school’s all-time scoring list. Stevens ended the night with 1,994 career points. Curtis Jones added 12 points for Penn State (15-5, 5-4 Big Ten), which improved to 11-1 at home this season.

Trayce Jackson-Davis led Indiana (15-6, 5-5) with 14 points while Justin Smith added 13. The Hoosiers have dropped two games in a row and three of the past five.

54 Miami Super Bowl Moments — from Namath to Black Sunday to riots to Prince Michelle Kaufman Miami Herald

MIAMI — The Miami Herald’s Michelle Kaufman takes a look back at 54 of the most memorable moments from Miami Super Bowls.

1. New Goalposts: Super Bowl 2 in 1968 was the first to use the Yshaped goalposts (one supporting post in the middle rather than one on each side).

2. Unnecessary Roughness (1968): On Oakland’s first offensive play in Super Bowl 2, Green Bay Packers middle linebacker Ray Nitschke sprinted, slammed into fullback Hewritt Dixon and upended him. That hit became one the most memorable plays of Nitschke’s career. The Packers went on to win the game 33-14.

3. Technical Glitch: During the late second quarter of Super Bowl 2 (1968) and for the first few minutes of the halftime show, 80% of the country lost the video feed of the CBS broadcast.

4. Victory Ride (1968): After leading the Packers to a 33-14 win over Oakland, legendary coach Vince Lombardi was carried off the field in one of the most iconic images in Super Bowl history. It was his last game as Packers coach.

5. “I guarantee it” (1969): The first AFL-NFL Championship Game to officially use the name “Super Bowl” will forever be remembered for three words uttered by the New York Jets’ brash quarterback Joe Namath. The AFL champion Jets were 18-point underdogs to the NFL champs Baltimore Colts. Three days before the game, Namath was speaking at the Miami Touchdown Club and said the words that went down in history: “The Jets will win Sunday. I guarantee it.” He kept his promise. New York won 16-7.

6. Blackout: While the Orange Bowl was sold out for Super Bowl 3 (1969), the live broadcast was not shown in Miami due to the leagues’ blackout rules at the time. The blackout was challenged in MiamiDade District Court by attorney Ellis Rubin, but the judge upheld it. It was the first Super Bowl to be carried live in the state of Alaska.

7. Back to Earth (1969): Astronauts of the Apollo 8 mission (Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and William Anders), the first manned flight around the Moon, led the Pledge of Allegiance 18 days after returning to Earth.

8. No TDs (1969): Namath completed 17 of his 28 passes and became the only quarterback to win Super Bowl MVP without throwing a touchdown pass.

9. Turf Time (1971): The Orange Bowl became site of the first Super Bowl played on artificial turf — Poly-Turf to be exact.

10. Blooper Bowl (1971): The first title game after the AFL-NFL merger wasn’t the prettiest. In fact, it has been nicknamed “The Blooper Bowl” and the “Blunder Bowl”. The teams combined for a Super Bowlrecord 11 turnovers, including five in the fourth quarter. The Colts’ seven turnovers remain the most by a Super Bowl champion 11. Flea Flop (1971): Of all the miscues in Super Bowl 5, the most bizarre was the Colts’ second-half flea flicker. Running back Sam Havrilak took a handoff and ran right, intending to lateral the ball to quarterback Earl Morrall, but under pressure, he threw to unintended receiver Eddie Hinton, who ran to the end zone, but was stripped from behind by Cowboys defensive back Cornell Green. The loose ball bounced around for 20 yards, six players failed to recover it and it wound up going through the back of the end zone for a touchback.

12. Big Kick (1971): But the game had a thrilling ending. The Colts overcame five fumbles (four recovered the Dallas Cowboys), three interceptions and a blocked extra point and won the game 1613 on a 32-yard field goal by rookie Jim O’Brien with five seconds

remaining.

13. Losing MVP (1971): Super Bowl 5 is the only one in which the Most Valuable Player award was given to a member of the losing team. Voting takes place before the end of the game, so Cowboys linebacker Chuck Howley was voted MVP after making two interceptions.

14. Bye, Bye Bands (1976): The first nine Super Bowls had college bands at halftime such as Southern University, Southeast Missouri State, Grambling State, and Florida A&M. But that trend ended with Super Bowl 10. The group Up With People performed an elaborate Bicentennial tribute.

15. Black Sunday (1976): Scenes for the 1977 movie “Black Sunday,” about a fictional terrorist attack on the Super Bowl using the Goodyear Blimp, were filmed during Super Bowl 10. The movie crew was given permission by the NFL to shoot extensive footage for the film’s final half hour as the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys 21-17.

A week later, the crew returned to the Orange Bowl to film the scene where the blimp crashes into the stadium. Thousands of extras were provided by the United Way to fill the stands. Members of the Miami Dolphins were hired as extras, as well, and outfitted with Cowboys and Steelers uniforms to appear in those scenes.

16. It’s About Time (1976): Super Bowl 10 was the first in which the play clock was visible to the teams and fans.

17: What Concussion? (1976): Going into the Super Bowl, fans wondered whether Lynn Swann would play. He had sustained a severe concussion in the AFC Championship Game against the Raiders that forced him to spend two days in a hospital. Not only did he play, he had 161 yards on four catches, including a 64-yard touchdown catch.

18. Bye, Bye Turf (1976): Super Bowl 10 was the last game played on artificial turf at the Orange Bowl.

The turf, which had been in place since 1970, was replaced by natural grass later in 1976.

19. OB’s Finale (1979): Super Bowl 13 was the last of five played at the Orange Bowl.

20. Trash Talking (1979): Before the game, Cowboys linebacker Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson predicted a shutout and said: “(Terry) Bradshaw couldn’t spell ‘cat’ if you spotted him the ‘c’ and the ‘a’.”

Bradshaw had the last laugh.

21. Bradshaw Shines (1979): Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw was named Super Bowl MVP, after completing 17 of 30 passes for Super Bowl records of 318 passing yards and four touchdown passes. His 75-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter also tied Johnny Unitas (Super Bowl

5) for the longest pass in a Super Bowl.

22. Memorable Coin Flip (1979): The coin toss ceremony featured Hall of Famer and longtime Chicago Bears owner/head coach George Halas. He was driven onto the field in a 1920 car to commemorate the 1920 founding of the NFL. 23. Quality QBs (1979): One of the highlights of Super Bowl 13 was the matchup of superstar quarterbacks Terry Bradshaw of the Steelers and Roger Staubach of the Cowboys.

Both already had two Super Bowl victories heading into the game.

Staubach became the first quarterback to start four Super Bowls.

24. New Home (1989): Super Bowl 23 was held at Joe Robbie Stadium, the first Miami Super Bowl not held at the Orange Bowl 25. Drug Bust (1989): On the eve of Super Bowl 23, Cincinnati Bengals fullback Stanley Wilson was caught using cocaine in his hotel room. The Bengals left him off the game roster. It was Wilson’s third violation of the league’s drug policy, so the NFL banned him for life.

26. Miami Burning (1989): The mood of Miami was tense and somber on the days preceding Super Bowl 23 as riots broke out in the downtown neighborhoods of Overtown and Liberty City following the shooting by a Miami police officer of a black motorcyclist who was fleeing another officer. The Cincinnati Bengals could see the fires from their hotel rooms.

27. The Piano Man (1989): Billy Joel sang the national anthem at Super Bowl 23.

28. The Drive (1989): One of the most memorable drives in Super Bowl history was the San Francisco 49ers’ fourth-quarter game-winning drive in Super Bowl 23. Trailing 16–13, San Francisco got the ball at its 8-yard line with 3:10 to go and drove 92 yards for the score.

Jerry Rice caught a 27-yard pass on second-and-20 and the game-winning TD pass was Joe Montana to John Taylor with 34 seconds left.

29. Candy Man (1989): After the Super Bowl victory, 49ers players revealed that during the huddle preceding the game-winning drive, Joe Montana, sensing his teammates were tense, turned to tackle Harris Barton, pointed into the stands and asked, “Hey, isn’t that John Candy?” In fact, it was the funny actor, and that moment broke the ice in the huddle.

30. Breaking Barriers (1995): During Super Bowl 29, Lesley Visser became the first female broadcaster assigned to a Super Bowl sideline.

31. Quick Start (1995): On the third play of the opening drive, 49ers quarterback Steve Young threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Rice. The 49ers became the second team to score on the opening drive (the first being the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl 8). They

also set a new Super Bowl record for the fastest touchdown (later broken by the Chicago Bears’ Devin Hester).

32. Halftime Extravaganza (1995): Disney produced the most elaborate halftime show to date, a tribute to its new Indiana Jones Adventure ride at Disneyland. The show featured performances by singers Tony Bennett, Patti LaBelle, jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, and the Miami Sound Machine.

33. Out of the Shadow (1995): The 49ers became the first team to win five Super Bowls when they knocked off the San Diego Chargers 49-26. Quarterback Steve Young threw for 325 yards and six touchdowns and finally stepped out of the shadow of legend Joe Montana, who had won four Super Bowls.

34. Records (1995): Ken Norton Jr. became the first player to win three consecutive Super Bowls.

He was a member of the Cowboys teams that won Super Bowls 27 and 28. Deion Sanders became the first player to play in both a Super Bowl and a World Series, as he played in the 1992 World Series with the Atlanta Braves.

35. Special Teams (1995): One of the Colts’ most memorable plays was Andre Coleman’s 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the third quarter, which tied a Super Bowl record.

36. Late-night Trouble (1999): The night before the Super Bowl 33, Falcons safety Eugene Robinson was arrested for solicitation of prostitution. Driving alone in a rented car along a downtown Miami street, he approached a female undercover police officer posing as a prostitute and offered $40 for oral sex. Earlier that day, he had accepted the Bart Starr Award for leadership and “high moral character.” He was released from jail and played in the game.

37. Pregame Drama (1999): Much of the pregame hype was about John Elway facing his former coach Dan Reeves. Denver head coach Mike Shanahan was irked by Reeves’ assertion that Shanahan and Elway had conspired to have him fired from Denver.

38. Memorable Anthem (1999): Cher sang the national anthem.

39. Legendary Halftime (1999): Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy were featured in the halftime show. Wonder sang “Sir Duke”, “You Are the Sunshine of My Life”, and “I Wish”. And Miami-native Estefan performed “Oye!” and “Turn the Beat Around.

40. Curtain Call (1999): Quarterback John Elway led Denver to a 3419 win over Atlanta in his final game before he announced his retirement on May 2, 1999. He completed 18 of 29 passes for 336 yards with one touchdown, and also scored a 3-yard rushing touchdown. At 38, Elway became the oldest player to

THE PUBLIC NEEDS THE TRUTH; NOT SOCIAL MEDIA HEADLINES & FAKE NEWS.

be named Super Bowl MVP, a record that stood until Tom Brady won in 2017 at the age of 39.

41. Sad Company: Dan Reeves became the fourth head coach to lose four Super Bowls, joining Bud Grant, Don Shula, and Marv Levy 42. Piano Man II (2007): Joel sang the national anthem. Again.

43. Hurricane Moment (2007): On the game-opening kickoff, former University of Miami speedster Devin Hester returned the ball 92 yards for a touchdown to give the Chicago Bears an early lead. It was the first game-opening kickoff returned for a touchdown in Super Bowl history.

44. Canes make history (2007): After Hester’s touchdown, another former University of Miami player, Reggie Wayne, scored a touchdown for the Colts. It was the first time in Super Bowl history the first two touchdowns were scored by players from the same college.

45. Purple Rain (2007): Does it get better than Prince singing “Purple Rain” in a driving rainstorm? Some other artist might have canceled or postponed when they saw the deluge, but Prince rocked on with the Queen anthem, “We Will Rock You”, and then sang epic versions of “Let’s Go Crazy”, “1999” and “Proud Mary”.

46. Peyton Shines (2007): Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was named the Most Valuable Player.

He completed 25 of 38 passes for 247 yards and a touchdown and an interception.

47. Breaking Barriers II (2007): The Bears’ Lovie Smith and the Colts’ Tony Dungy were the first African-American head coaches to coach in the Super Bowl, and Dungy was the first to win it.

48. 4 Rings (2007): Adam Vinatieri of the Colts became the first kicker to play in five Super Bowls and the first to win four Super Bowl rings.

49. Pregame Music (2010): Carrie Underwood sang the “Star-Spangled Banner” and Queen Latifah sang “America the Beautiful.”

50. Controversial commercial (2010): There was much controversy about a new Super Bowl advertiser, Focus on the Family, a conservative Christian group which aired a pro-life commercial featuring 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother.

51. Who did Halftime (2010): The Who performed the halftime show.

The band played a medley of hits, including “Pinball Wizard”, “Baba O’Riley”, “Who Are You”, “See Me, Feel Me” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again”.

52. Trick Play (2010): The Colts, leading 10-6 at halftime, were caught off guard when Saints coach Sean Payton called an onside kick to start the second half. It was the first onside kick before the fourth quarter in Super Bowl history. Thomas Morstead kicked the ball to his left, and after traveling almost 15 yards, the ball bounced off the face-mask of the Colts’ Hank Baskett, and the Saints recovered. Quarterback Drew Brees completed five consecutive passes for 58 yards, and Pierre Thomas ran it into the end zone to give the Saints a 13-10 lead.

53. Oldie but Goodie (2010): Indianapolis kicker Matt Stover became the oldest player to participate and score in a Super Bowl at 42 years and 11 days of age.

54. Katrina Aftermath (2010): Brees was named MVP for tying a Super Bowl record by completing 32 of 39 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns. After the game, Brees said, “Four years ago, who ever thought this would be happening when 85% of the city was under water? Most people left not knowing if New Orleans would ever come back, or if the organization would ever come back. We just all looked at one another and said, ‘We are going to rebuild together. We are going to lean on each other.’ This is the culmination in all that belief.”

Restricted diet makes dinner parties awkward Dear Abby, I have multiple chronic health conditions.

Because my symptoms are worsened by a lot of foods, I’m on a highly restricted diet. If I stay on it, I feel as well as possible. (I never feel entirely well.)

When I go to friends’ homes DEAR ABBY for dinner or parties, would it be rude for me to bring along something for myself that I can eat? I could always bring extra food to share if you think that would be appropriate.

I have been eating before I go and then claiming not to be hungry, but I feel it would be rude to do this at dinner parties. What do you suggest I do? I prefer that my health not be a topic of conversation.

Can’t Eat Jack

JEANNE PHILLIPS

Your health won’t be a topic of conversation at these gatherings if you discuss this with your host(s) at the time you are invited to the party. Explain that you are on a severely restricted diet. Ask if you can bring your own food with you. I’m sure your hosts will understand and tell you to enjoy their hospitality (if not their food) because they welcome your company.

Dear Abby, My husband and I received a worrisome email from our 20-something-year-old son, a graduate student some distance away. He wrote that he is recovering from wounds of his childhood. (We thought we were loving, supportive parents.) He indicated he will come home for visits only if we comply with his demands — about 10 were listed — and accused us of some

things we never did.

On the advice of my counselor — I have a history of depression, which is in remission — I wrote agreeing to his demands in order to keep the lines of communication open. My husband refuses to do this. He is overwhelmingly hurt, angry and frustrated. He says he “will not walk on eggshells in his own home.” Our son is our only child. What can or should we do?

Heartbroken In Ohio Nobody should have to walk on eggshells. If ever I heard of a family that could benefit from family counseling, you three are it. Your doctor or insurance company can refer you to someone who is licensed and competent. Please don’t wait.

Dear Abby, My biological mother gave me up at birth.

I joined the Navy right out of high school and left the service at 25. Less than a month later, she contacted me. It turns out that I have three half-siblings, but I have no desire to connect with them.

She waited 25 years to contact me, and I was the only one of my siblings she gave up. Does it make me a bad person that I have no emotional connection to my biological family?

Esophagitis is inflammation of the esophagus, which has many possible causes. The most likely cause, just from total numbers, is reflux esophagitis. That is caused by stomach contents and acid going backward from the stomach into the esophagus. The acid causes chemical damage to the esophagus. The fact that your brother has been “spitting up” — that is, having food contents coming all the way back to the mouth — is strong evidence of esophageal reflux.

Alcohol is a major risk factor for gastroesophageal reflux disease, also called GERD. Alcohol weakens the muscle strength of the lower esophageal sphincter, a muscle between the esophagus and the stomach that acts as a valve preventing food and acid from going backward. Alcohol itself can also damage the esophagus; however, spirits are more likely to do this than wine or beer. Alcohol may also affect the nerves in the esophagus and stomach, keeping them from working properly. It’s the alcohol, not the acid, that generally makes GERD worse, so changing to spirits may actually worsen his condition.

Grade 3 esophagitis is fairly severe (grade 4 is the worst). It’s possible that the doctor performing the endoscopy took biopsies, which would be

No, it does not. Whatever her reason for surrendering you, you have built a good life. Please stop feeling guilty for moving forward and living it. Doing so does not make you a bad person, only a healthy one.

Alcohol is a major contributor to brother’s inflamed esophagus My brother is 65 years old and was spitting up when eating. He went for an endoscopy yesterday and was diagnosed with Grade 3 esophagitis.

He has been drinking five glasses of wine daily for years. Did this cause his problem? He said he will stop drinking wine and drink some other, less acidic alTO YOUR cohol. What is esophagitis and GOOD HEALTH what can he do to get better?

Family Circus

important to be sure he doesn’t have a less-common cause of esophagitis, such as eosinophilic esophagitis, which appears to be immune-mediated.

Five glasses of wine a day is too much for many body systems. He needs to reduce his drinking for his health. I suspect reducing alcohol will help his esophagitis, but it is critical for many other organs, including the liver, brain, bone marrow and heart.

Other than the traditional “BRAT” diet for occasional bouts of diarrhea, is there any OTC medication that you feel works the fastest/ most effectively?

Nearly everyone has occasional bouts of diarrhea. Most of the time, these are self-limiting and don’t require treatment. However, the traditional BRAT diet — bananas, (white) rice, (peeled) apples and (white) toast — is an effective diet change to help the gut. In more severe cases, I recommend a clear liquid diet for 24 hours to allow the gut to heal, being sure to get in enough fluid, sugar and sodium. Chicken or vegetable broth and apple juice are traditional for this.

When medication is called for, loperamide 2 mg (Imodium) is my first choice. This should not be used in the presence of bloody diarrhea or fever: Please see your doctor in those situations.

I occasionally see someone take so much loperamide that they become constipated. Don’t get caught in that vicious cycle. Go easy on the loperamide (i.e., one or two tablets to start, then at most one more after each loose bowel movement, never to exceed eight tablets a day, and never exceeding two days of treatment).

Horoscope

By Stella Wilder Born today, you are destined to score a number of important firsts in your life — and though there may be times when others seem to be fighting you or standing in the way of you fulfilling your destiny, that fight and those obstacles will always be worth it in the end, for they will enable you to be the best that you can be in any and all situations.

You cannot do everything on your own, and though it may be difficult to do so at times you will learn to trust the one or two people in your life who are most able to help you at any given juncture. It’s important, however, that you let these people know what you need.

Also born on this date are: Justin Timberlake, singer and actor; Jackie Robinson, baseball player; Portia de Rossi, actress; Zane Grey, author; Nolan Ryan, baseball player; Vernon Davis, football player; Carol Channing, actress.

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

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You will not be lacking motivation today, but you may not know what exact steps to take — or what order to take them in. Observe others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — If you chip away at a certain task, bit by bit, from morning to night, you should be able to get it completed on time — and under budget.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may have to stop what you are doing today — on more than one occasion — to assess a situation that someone has

gotten himself into.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You must do all you can to avoid any sort of panic today. A calm, steady, rational, measured approach is what is required right now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — The earlier you can start your day, the better — especially since someone has thrown a road block in your way without your knowing it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You must be willing to give another a bit more free rein today. He or she is learning from you — but you have to take a more hands-off approach.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can engage in a little shape-shifting today in order to escape being noticed doing something you don’t want to reveal just yet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your efforts will not go unappreciated today — but you may not get the recognition you had hoped for until you make it clear it is deserved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Watch the clock today. You have only so much time available to you before the focus will be on someone whose needs rival your own.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — There’s a certain order to things that will make you feel more confident and capable. If you don’t follow it, things will feel far too random.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You have much on the line today. Say what you have to say, and move on. Do not dwell on any one issue once it has been addressed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You may want to move everything up a bit today and tend to each thing earlier than you had originally scheduled. A surprise in in store.
