CATSKILL — A West Side business was closed Thursday because of a break-in, the owner said. Winkle’s Bakery, located on West Bridge Street, showed no sign of life on Thursday. A sign on the door read, “Our shop was broken into last night. We will be closed for the day. We will reopen tomorrow at 8
a.m.” Eric Delage has owned the business with his wife Michelle for two years. “This is the first time anything like this has happened,” he said. “I’m still trying to process it.” The burglar jimmied the back door and stole an iPad, Delage said. “The iPad runs our pointof-sales system,” he said. “We
need it to cash out customers.” Delage said he expects that business on Friday will be cash-only because the owners have no way to process credit card payments. The first sign of suspicious activity occurred on Friday night, Delage said. “On Friday we had someone break in and take a few See BAKERY A2

CATSKILL — A somber morning was observed along the Hudson as Greene County remembered those who lost their lives in Vietnam. The Vietnam War took place from November 1954 to April 1975. It is the second longest combat that the U.S. has participated in and 58,220 American lives were lost. An additional 160,000 veterans have taken their own lives, said Tom Andreassen, commander of the Honeyford Memorial Post 110. Greene County held opening ceremonies for the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall
on Thursday morning at the Historic Catskill Point. The exhibit is scaled down to threefifths of the size of the one in Washington. John Lutes, 73, of Cairo, grew up with one of the Greene County soldiers who was killed in action. “He never got to grow up,” Lutes said of his friend Paul Lewis, who died at age 19. “He never got to own a car.” Lutes, who served as a Petty Officer 3rd Class in the Navy, recalls not knowing what he was getting into. “I didn’t know what Vietnam was,” he said.

COPAKE — A head-on collision on slippery roads claimed the life of a young boy Wednesday on County Route 7A, police said Thursday. Caleb P. Dier, 7, was killed in the two-car, head-on crash near Twin Bridges Road at about 6:40 p.m., according to state police. According to a preliminary investigation, Christina I. Gubler, 28, of Craryville, was driving a 2005 Honda Civic south on County Route 7A, when she lost control on the slick road and crossed over into the opposite lane, police said. Gubler’s vehicle then

collided with a 2014 Toyota Avalon heading north and driven by Michael T. Super, 71, of Hudson. Super’s wife, Mary B. Super, 71, was a passenger in the vehicle. The crash occurred toward the bottom of a hill just after thunderstorms had moved through the area. Caleb was transported by Greenport Rescue Squad to Columbia Memorial Hospital, where he died of his injuries. State police initially reported Dier was airlifted from the crash site scene. But the helicopter was called off at the scene. Gubler and Michael and See CRASH A2

could be reached for comment about the burglaries Thursday. Delage did not know of any other businesses being burglarized recently, he said. But one unusual incident occurred at a Main Street business, he added. “Someone did steal a bluetooth speaker in front of Spike’s Record Store in broad daylight,” he said. Because of the first incident, Delage recalls being on edge.
“We live a quarter mile up the road,” he said. “I was walking the dog around midnight and I stopped in [the shop] and grabbed a cupcake for a midnight snack. I checked that the door was locked tightly when I got there and when I left I checked it again.” Delage’s efforts were in vain. “Seven hours later my wife called me and told me the iPad was gone,” he said.

hundred in cash from our cash drawer,” he said. There was no physical evidence of how the burglar got in the first time, Delage said. After the second break-in, there was noticeable damage to the door frame around the rear entrance of the shop, Delage said.
“We added a deadbolt to it and are taking the necessary precautions to prevent it from happening again,” Delage said. Catskill police tried to obtain fingerprints from the cash drawer after the first burglary but could not pull conclusive samples, Delage said. Delage was unsure if the police will be increasing their surveillance of the area. No spokesmen for the Catskill Police Department

When he heard his friends were getting shipped out to Vietnam, he asked, “What ship is that?” “They said, it’s not a ship, you idiot, it’s a country.” Lutes said. “I asked them why they were going there.

Wyszomirski, 28, of Catskill were honored with wreaths beside their names on the wall. The wreath presentation was followed by a rifle salute by the Greenville American Legion Post 291 and taps by Brent Wheat and Paul Isley. Remembering veterans is critical, Greene County Treasurer Peter Markou, the keynote speaker, said. Markou served in the Navy as a Petty Officer 3rd Class. “This is a war monument like no other,” Markou said. “This is a statement of lives cut short, of futures blotted out by death. Every name on this wall deserved a life. Every name deserved honor.” The commemoration for Vietnam veterans has been a long time coming, Markou said. “Every year there are fewer and fewer of us left to remember,” he said. “We are bound by their blood to remember. As long as one of us stands we will not be forgotten. We will remember.” The memorial serves as a prime place to remember all veterans, Markou said. “This is the time, this is the day, this is the place to remember,” he said. Markou reminded the audience to think not just of those who were killed in action but

“It’s always important to remember those who put their lives on the line and to honor them, particularly with the Vietnam War but with all wars,” he said. “They are heroes.” State Sen. George Amedore Jr., R-46, echoed those remarks. “It’s so important to honor and respect all our veterans, not just from Vietnam,” Amedore said. “There are men and women who are free citizens that appreciate all that our military do.” Amedore said he believes the wall will be a place of healing, remembrance, therapy and respect. “Kudos to everyone that volunteered, helped or gave resources or their time and talent to make that site so beautiful for that wall,” he said. “It is a very fitting place. I think that is the best site selection Greene County could offer.” Music was provided by Laura Marriott singing “God Bless America” and the national anthem, and the Pipes & Drums of Greene County. The Rev.Richard Turpin of the Second Baptist Church of Catskill delivered the invocation and Rabbi Zoe B. Zak of Temple Israel in Catskill gave the benediction.

HUDSON — Mexican Radio’s owners say President Donald Trump’s immigration policies forced them to close their restaurant. The restaurant, which was located at 537 Warren St., closed Aug. 11, but officially announced the closing on its website Tuesday. In a statement Monday, restaurant owners cited immigration crackdown as the reason for closing. In a statement, owners Mark Young and Lori Selden said many of their employees have been “forcibly ejected from the country.” The statement reads as follows: “The anguish we feel extends way beyond the simple loss of operating businesses that have survived the worst of times. Mexican Radio NYC became a significant healing home to our devastated downtown community in the days, weeks and months

following September 11th. We proudly met and vouched for our Mexican Culinary Brothers early every morning at the frightening downtown
military checkpoint, enabling them to safely put their hearts into cooking for our remaining First Responders, most of whom were lost forever that
day. “Many of those same Culinary Brothers, who worked right beside us for close to 20 years and who were key to
helping us launch all three Mexican Radio locations, have now been forcibly and violently ejected from this country, tearing out the very soul of our kitchen staff, our Familia de Cocina. “So too we have felt firsthand the painful loss of our long-standing Front of House Familia from both locations, many of whom having worked beside us for years if not decades. With their own growing families we’ve seen them having to upend their lives, scrambling to survive the increasing burdens the hardworking middle class is coping with every single day. The signs of losing them and the growing affliction this has created for our local business community are now visible everywhere. “HELP WANTED.” There is no end in sight.” Check back for more on this developing story.

OGS announces special Capitol tour centered on ‘The People of New York’ exhibition n n
ALBANY — New York State Office of General Services (OGS) Commissioner RoAnn Destito announced special tours of the Capitol will be offered in conjunction with the ongoing exhibition The People of New York. The free, 45-minute tours will focus on diversity and cultural pluralism in the history of New York and the Capitol and will be offered at 1 p.m. on Aug. 29, Sept. 12 and Nov. 7. Preregistration at empirestateplaza. ny.gov is required. “Governor Cuomo often reminds us that here in New York our differences and diversity in backgrounds are also our greatest strengths,” Commissioner Destito said. “I encourage everyone to take this special tour of the Capitol, which will include a visit to an exhibition, The People of New York, that celebrates our state’s rich and diverse history.”
The New York State Capitol has served as the seat of government for New York since the 1880s. The building is a marvel of late 19th century architectural grandeur, built by hand of solid masonry over a period of 32 years. Through images, objects, and stories, The People of New York exhibition, located in the East Gallery of the Capitol’s second floor, features the people of New York — past and present — and their firsthand accounts of perseverance and migration. The special tour will connect stories of diverse individuals with the sections and themes of the exhibition, showing how people from New York represent a multitude of backgrounds who come from every walk of life. From the story of Capitol architect, Leopold Eidlitz, one of the America’s first famous Jewish
architects who emigrated from Eastern Europe; to the first full-time archaeologist at the nNew York State Museum, Arthur C Parker, born on the Cattaraugus Seneca Reservation; n to Henry Johnson, African American hero of the first World War whose Medal of Honor (awarded posthun mously) is on display in the Capitol; the tour features remarkable stories n of lesser known individuals who made New York what it is today. The September and November tours will feature special guests who are featured in the exhibition and will add to the toursnby sharing their and their families’ experiences coming to New York and the opportunin that allowed ties they found here them to succeed: n Alejandro del Peral will join the Sept. 12 tour as a special guest. Del n Peral is the founder and owner of
Nine Pin Cidery, New York’s first cidery. His father Casiano, an artist, immigrated from Barcelona, Spain in the 1980s, and his maternal grandfather immigrated from Punjab, India in the 1940s and married a descendant of President John Adams. Jinah Kim will join the Nov. 7 tour as a special guest. Having immigrated to the United States at the age of 3, she is the founder and owner of the Korean restaurant Sunhee’s Farm and Kitchen in Troy. The restaurant provides jobs for refugees and immigrants and helps them learn English as well as computer programs.

OUR VIEW
A new honor for C-GCC The future of post-secondary education is rife with uncertainty as four-year colleges and universities become schools for the wealthy and junior colleges and community colleges become the provence of the middleclass. Columbia-Greene Community College continues to fly in the face of this trend as it accelerates programs that stress diversity in education and job training. The college was rewarded for its progressive thinking Wednesday by being named the top community college in New York state and 10th in the nation for excellence in cost and financing, education outcomes and career outcomes. Tops in the state and 10th among 710 community colleges surveyed by WalletHub, a research company. Think about that. We have one of the best community
colleges in the United States right at our doorstep for what we expect from a twoyear school: affordability, high-quality programs in all fields, high graduation rate and career preparation. Now think about how much poorer Greene and Columbia counties would be without the college and its rich variety of programs, students and teachers. The presence of a college changes its host community or, in this case, communities, for the better. Imagine the expanded role ColumbiaGreene will play in this community 20 years from now. The college has been a pillar for the last 50 years. Today, for under $5,000 a year, students can get a firstrate education. The college’s graduation rate is 35%, well above the national average of 22%. The retention rate is 64%, indicating students
want to continue their education at a place of high academic quality. There are several benefits to going the community college route in addition to the cost-savings. Community colleges often provide more flexible schedules, smaller class sizes and rigorous course work. These qualities and advantages appeal to students who need to balance their studies with commitments such as family and work. Congratulations to Columbia-Greene Community College, President Carlee Drummer and former president James Campion, who brought the college to this point. A strong place of learning is essential for the growth and respectability of a rural area. Now, more than ever, we need ColumbiaGreene Community College and what it offers.

Biden’s gun ad separates him from the field Jennifer Rubin The Washington Post
Former Vice President Joe Biden has released a new video ad on guns. The ad serves multiple purposes. First, he shows frankly how easy it will be to show President Donald Trump as the loudmouth who makes big promises but never delivers. This is an attack that works well on just about any subject - e.g., a trade deal with China, a super-duper health-care plan, economic growth above 3 percent, a big and beautiful infrastructure plan, a wall Mexico would pay for, eliminating the deficit. Calling him out as a blowhard is effective insofar as it’s a response Trump can answer only with more overblown, selfcongratulatory rhetoric (i.e. more talk); he cannot deliver what he’s been promising. Like all good ads, the video reinforces what many voters know, namely that Trump knows and does little and that his only true talent (aside from bullying) is self-promotion. Second, the last few seconds are perhaps the most important: “Joe Biden has beat the NRA twice. And will do it again.” In a statement accompanying release of the video, deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield explains, “Joe Biden dealt
the NRA two of their biggest defeats in history by passing the 1994 bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, as well as being instrumental in passing the Brady background check bill.” The point here is that talk is cheap, and there is no evidence that any of Biden’s opponents, who are offering quite similar proposals, will be able to fulfill their promises on guns. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has been in Congress since 1991 (first in the House and now in the Senate for 12 years) but cannot make a similar claim. One can make the case that Congress has changed since 1994, that the National Rifle Association has permanently cowed the current crop of Republicans, and that it is much more difficult to pass anything through today’s Senate. But if anything, that criticism applies even more to Biden’s opponents, who make a host of pie-in-the-sky promises (eliminate college debt, Medicare-for-all) but have no track record of major accomplishments. Third, a good deal of Biden’s supporters think he is the most electable. However they rightly or wrongly arrive at the conclusion that Biden is more electable than, say, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., it is a firmly and

widely held belief among primary voters. Biden therefore doesn’t have to do back-flips to convince Democratic voters that he is the safest candidate. However, we’ve already seen polls in which multiple candidates are outside the poll’s margin of error. If lots of people appear very capable of beating Trump, what will differentiate them? For some voters, it will be personality or gender or race, but Biden makes the case that ability to govern should rank very high. Democrats saw that whatever is not accomplished and nailed down by a Democratic president can be easily swept aside by a Republican president. Time is limited, and rarely does a president have four, let alone eight years, to govern with a friendly Congress. That puts a premium on a nominee who can effectively govern and who requires no on-the-job training. In sum, the ad is effective not only in exposing Trump as a windbag and liar, but also in separating Biden from the crowd of pro-gun safety opponents, some of whom are more eloquent and all of whom (with the exception of Sanders) are younger. In this case, Biden argues, we might just want to hire someone who knows how to get the job done.
Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Yes, I know. It’s the name of a TV show in which a bunch of precocious fifth graders demonstrate that they’re plenty smart. But the question still pertains. Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Am I? I know that I have far more formal education than just about any fifth grader and I certainly have experienced far more, if only by dint of having lived a lot longer and, in the process, have learned a thing or two. So, then, my answer: Maybe, but then, again, maybe not. Too soon to tell. I bring this up because of an experience I had last winter. Last year, Peter Meyer, a long-time journalist for various Time, Inc. publications and now a local resident, reached out to me after reading one of my columns. He said that he was teaching journalism to fifth graders in Hudson’s Montgomery C. Smith Intermediate School. Would I be interested in participating in a class? I’d simply have to show up and answer questions from the students about my career in journalism. The format would be simple. A sample of my work as a TV news producer would be shown and the students would ask questions in the form of a press conference. They would have to take notes about what I said and each would write a news story about the event. Simple, yes? But maybe not so simple after all. What is journalism? And what on earth do the skills of a reporter have to do with the education of a fifth (or any other) grader? If you think about it, as I did for the first time after Peter told me what he was doing, the skills of a journalist or reporter lie at the entry point of every academic experience and social interaction we encounter throughout our lives. That’s a pretty extravagant claim, I know, but let me explain. It is a cliché, but nonetheless true, that every news story must have at least 5 elements: Who, What, Where, When and Why. Those things are simply facts. They are not opinions; they are not the interpretation of facts. They are simply facts. What happened. Who did it. Where did it happen. When did it happen. Why did it happen. Read a news story in this or any other paper and all those things should be clear as day. If they’re not and you’re an editor, you should send it back to the reporter and tell him or her
MY VIEW
MIKE
SALZ to fix it. In a news story, the editor is not interested in what the reporter thinks or feels about the event. He/she just wants to know what the event was. The thinking or feeling part can come in columns like this one whether one calls it an editorial, an analysis, a commentary, an op-ed piece or something else. It may be called journalism and those who practice it may be called journalists, but it is a somewhat different form of journalism than reporting. And the journalism we’re talking about is the most basic form, the 5 W’s. The facts. Just the facts. And by the way, I long ago learned from personal experience (because of my job) that the best and most reliable oped journalism is written by those who have a strong sense of old-fashioned reporting. That is, they derive their opinions and analysis from facts, those pesky 5 W’s. On the other hand, Ideologues look for facts to buttress their ideology. The approaches are diametrically opposed with the former being intrinsically more credible. So, what happened last winter on the day I went for my press conference? The class watched part of a feature I had made years ago about a well-known landscape photographer of the American West who was photographing some of the last true cowboys in this country, those who still did their work primarily on horseback. He would repay the cowboys for their cooperation by helping with their various chores. It was hard to tell which he enjoyed more, the photography or the cowboying. And then the kids asked questions, some about my work, some about my personal life. How long had I worked? When did I start working? How old was I? Did I have siblings? Am I married? Do I have children? Do I like art? Some of the kids were quite gregarious, others more withdrawn. But they all asked questions and took notes. Later, they each wrote a news story about me, often
accompanied by a picture they drew. Still later, all of the stories were printed, bound, and copies made. All that seems simple but think about what has happened. What these fifth graders were learning wasn’t merely something about me and my job, but, rather, a way approach to life, a fact-based approach. Walk down the street and ask yourself the 5 W’s about everything that you see. Want to know what to talk about to someone you’ve just met? Think of the 5 W’s. Read a paragraph or chapter in a novel. Before you think about the meaning of the text, apply those 5 W’s. If you do that in an exam you’re more likely to figure out what the author is trying to say. If, later in life, you’re reading a memo or writing one (or anything else), keep those 5 W’s in mind. If you think about it, those 5 W’s are also the basis of most science, and mathematics. You will find them in every science theory or experiment, in every one of those written mathematical problems that so bedeviled me on the college entrance exams I took decades ago. Even more, we humans understand most everything through stories, by connecting all the dots in our lives and the world around us. And all stories have those 5 W’s, Who, What, Where, When and Why, at their very heart. They are the basis of every book we’ve ever read from seeing Spot run in a book our parents read to us as babies to James Joyce’s Buck Mulligan coming down the stairs in very difficult to read “Ulysses”. And it is in everything else we’ve read, be it history, or biography. Even the Bible. In every case, the 5 W’s are there. They are not an end in themselves, but they are the very beginning, the gateway to understanding and knowledge. The more we learn to incorporate them into our lives, the better able we are to learn, to read, and write, and do arithmetic, the better able we are to interact with our fellow human beings and the world around us. So, to return to the first question: Are any of us smarter than a fifth grader? And I have the same answer: Maybe, but maybe not. Too soon to tell.

Should people have a legal right to sleep on city streets? The nation’s homeless crisis sparks a partisan battle. Tim Craig THE WASHINGTON POST
AUSTIN, Texas - Christopher Paul hasn’t felt a police officer tapping at his foot in more than a month - the tap, tap, tap that usually meant he was about to get another citation that he was never going to pay. Living on the streets for five years after he lost his graphicdesign job, Paul has been having undisturbed nights since the City Council and mayor eased restrictions on “public camping” this summer, a move that liberal lawmakers billed as a humane and pragmatic reform of the criminaljustice system. But the change has drawn the ire of Republicans and local business owners who decry it as a threat to public safety and the local economy, exposing a partisan clash over how to manage poverty and affordable housing in America’s cities. Since Austin’s public-camping ban was relaxed, “people can sleep much better in the open, and they are a lot safer than somewhere hiding in a back alley,” said Paul, who estimates that he received 20 citations for illegal camping before the rule change went into effect July 1. But as Paul, 50, sprawled out shirtless on the sidewalk on a 100-degree day, shop owner Craig Staley stood a few feet away on Congress Avenue reconsidering his party affiliation. “I got two emails last month from customers who said, ‘I can’t go to your store anymore because it smells like urine,’” said Staley, who operates Royal Blue Grocery. “I am a Democrat at heart; I have been in Austin, Texas, for over 30 years. But I am telling you, I am feeling a lot more red these days when it comes to my business.” With an estimated 2,200 homeless adults sleeping on sidewalks and in makeshift tent cities, Austin has become the latest flash point in the national debate over whether homeless residents have a constitutional right to sleep on public streets, particularly in cities grappling with overcrowded shelters. As a legal matter, the issue could reach the U.S. Supreme Court. The city of Boise, Idaho, plans to appeal a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, which applies in nine Western states. The ruling determined that criminalizing public sleeping is unconstitutional when there is inadequate shelter space. Meanwhile, Republicans have made the nation’s growing homeless population a political weapon, characterizing it as a failure of liberal policies. “Look at Los Angeles with the tents and the horrible, horrible conditions,” President Donald Trump said at a Cincinnati rally this month. “Look at San Francisco; look at some of your other cities.” California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, when asked about Trump’s recent comments, said that Democratic policies have fueled the economic resurgence of U.S. cities that has caused a short-term increase in homelessness. California has the second-highest rate of homelessness in the nation after New York, according to federal data. “We don’t need [the president’s] megaphone to tell

us we have challenges,” said Newsom, adding that California is spending $1.7 billion to address housing affordability. In Austin, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has threatened to push the GOP-dominated Texas legislature to pass a law overriding Austin’s publiccamping action. The Travis County Republican Party has organized a petition drive calling for the policy to be rescinded, and local party leaders are trying to put it on the ballot next spring. “They thought it would be compassionate and not a big deal, but it has been an absolute disaster for this city,” said Matt Mackowiak, chairman of the county party. “This is our best example of [liberal] overreach, so we have been very strategic focusing on this issue.” But Austin officials are refusing to back down, saying it’s not practical to effectively criminalize homelessness. “When you move these people, they don’t disappear. They just go somewhere else,” said Austin Mayor Steve Adler, a Democrat. “The real answer is not just moving people from there to over there and back again. The real answer is giving them the services they need.” Previously, the city prohibited “sitting or lying down on public sidewalks or sleeping outdoors” in downtown Austin, where an influx of wellpaid workers has driven up the cost of housing. Between 2014 and 2016, Austin police issued 18,000 citations for rule violations, which cost as much as $500 with court fees, though many violators received only community service hours. But those cited didn’t show up for court 90% of the time, a 2017 city auditor’s report found, and nearly three-quarters of the citations led to an arrest warrant. Concerned that those criminal records made it even harder for homeless people to find jobs and housing, the Austin City Council amended the ordinance to allow loitering if an individual is not posing a threat to the “health or safety of another person or themselves” or “impeding the reasonable use of a public area.” Overnight camping is still prohibited in city parks and at city

hall. “We basically said, if someone is poor, and they have nowhere to sleep, and they are not endangering or blocking anyone, how can we say that is wrong?” said Gregorio “Greg” Casar, a council member who pushed to ease the rules. Alvin Sanderson, who has been living on Austin streets since he was released from prison in 2014, thinks the new approach is saving lives. After he received two citations for public camping, Sanderson slept in drainage ditches to avoid the police until, one night in 2018, he was awakened by a thunderous wall of water that crashed down the creek bed during a flash flood. “The water hit my back and I stood up and it just washed me off my feet,” said Sanderson, 64, who was swept downstream. Sanderson was rescued, but his story helped convince Austin lawmakers that they needed to bring homelessness out of the shadows. Now, on some mornings, dozens of homeless people are sleeping on sidewalks in the city’s well-known East Sixth Street nightlife district. A messy encampment has been erected near a mural honoring two Texas music legends, Janis Joplin and Willie Nelson. That has sparked intense backlash from Austin business owners along the corridor. “We hear it from our guests that walk into the restaurant and say, ‘My God, what has happened to Austin?’” said Gary Manley, owner of the Iron Cactus Mexican Restaurant, Grill and Margarita Bar. There were about 553,000 homeless people in the United States last year, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and 35% of them were not sleeping in shelters. It was the second consecutive annual increase in homelessness, a trend being driven by single adults, the
report noted. The debate over camping bans triggered a far-reaching federal lawsuit in Boise, where the ban was ruled a violation of the constitutional right against “cruel and unusual punishment,” because sleep is “biologically essential.” Theane Evangelis, an attorney for the city of Boise, said courts should not “usurp” the role of local governments in regulating public health and safety, noting that homeless camps in Los Angeles and elsewhere have been battling outbreaks of disease. “We need to keep control over those issues in local communities because they are very complex problems, and constitutionalizing the issue ties the hands of cities and states to address this,” Evangelis said. She is partnering with attorney Theodore Olson, who argued the Supreme Court case that mandated same-sex marriage nationwide. On a recent morning in Austin, Curtis Underwood, 49, was sitting along Sixth Street with a bloody nose. He said he suffers from epilepsy and had just been to a local social service agency searching for housing but was turned away. “They said there is a waiting list of at least six months,” Underwood said. “I guess I need to get a job, but the rent is so expensive because all the people from California are moving here.” The wait list for affordable housing is about three years, said Adler, the city’s mayor. Austin is planning to spend $30 million to build more, but Adler notes that state funding has been stagnant - one reason he’s outraged over the governor’s opposition to Austin’s public-camping action. The day after the relaxed rules took effect, Abbott retweeted a photograph of a car crash and implied that a homeless person caused it by running into traffic.
“Look at this insanity caused by Austin’s reckless homeless policy,” Abbott wrote. Austin police later told local news media that there was no evidence a pedestrian caused the crash. Abbott did not respond to requests for comment. But even some homeless people in Austin question whether the rules are too lenient. “Everyone now has a sense of entitlement, and now things are beyond out of control,” said Ambra Hall, 38, a homeless woman who was sitting in a camp while five men were passed out at her feet after smoking synthetic cannabinoids. “It went from one extreme to another, from criminalizing people for not having a home, to this.” Drug use and crime in some homeless camps has become fodder for Republican politicians in Texas and nationally. In Washington, state Sen. Phil Fortunato announced that he will run for governor next year on a platform that includes removing the “criminal homeless” from the streets by incarcerating them for even minor crimes. “Everyone wants to address it with kid gloves,” Fortunato said. “You have got to get them off the streets.” Republicans think they have the upper hand, noting that Denver’s “Right to Survive” measure, which would have allowed people to sleep in tents or cars in public, was voted down by 82% of voters this spring. In Austin, however, views about the camping rules may be less decisive. Homeless residents “have nowhere else to go,” said Michael Sherman, 40, a graphic designer who moved to Austin four years ago from Fairfax, Virginia. “So it doesn’t bother me if they are just lying around.”

The Artisanals bring heartland rock to Helsinki Hudson HUDSON — Are you one of those who sits around and wonders, “Whatever happened to good ol’ American rock ‘n’ roll”? You know the kind — the heartland rock that ran like a straight line from the Byrds to Creedence Clearwater Revival to Bob Seger to Bruce Springsteen to Tom Petty and John Mellencamp? Other than a few recent and younger bands like Dawes and Drive By Truckers, who does one look to for that quintessential heartland sound? The South Carolina-based Americana rock group the Artisanals, for one. The Artisanals bring their unique blend of heartland rock with hints of psychedelia and modern rock to Club Helsinki Hudson on Friday, Aug. 23, at 9 p.m. Like their heartland forebears, the Artisanals have a knack for writing hook-laden, rootsy rockers, and opening them up wide with jams in live performance.

The Artisanals
he namechecks influences including Bob Dylan, John Denver, the Clash, Hiss Golden Messenger, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Petty. Now that you see what I’m talking about, here’s some background: Johnny Delaware grew up in a small South Dakota town surrounded by cornfields and dirt roads. He knew that eventually he had to get out. Nashville was his first stop, but after only a month in the Music City, he was disillusioned
with the dog-eat-dog industrytypes and relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Living in a trailer house, Delaware would eventually set his sights on Austin, where he met Luke Mitchell (The High Divers) from Charleston. The two hit it off and Delaware felt a calling to join the budding music scene in the coastal Carolina town. Eventually, Delaware would link up with guitarist Clay Houle — an Atlanta native with a flair for cosmic rock riffs. Not

Program on the Rise: Cap City Scrappers NOAH K. MURRAY/USA TODAY
New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell answers questions from media during New York Jets training camp at Atlantic Health Center on July 25.
How Jets’ Le’Veon Bell is prepping for real games By Andy Vaszquez The Record
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell is doing everything he can to make sure he is ready for his return to football after a year away. And since he won’t be playing in the preseason, that means extra conditioning sessions, more reps at practice and, sometimes, getting his defensive teammates angry enough to hit him hard.
It starts off as a request. Bell, who signed with the Jets in March, approaches some of the most established players on the the defense during practice — guys like linebacker C.J. Mosley, safety Jamal Adams and defensive lineman Steve McClendon — and asks them to go after him. “‘Give me a little something. Go for the ball,’” Bell says. “Just so I can get See JETS B6

The Cap City Scrappers 17U basketball team proudly display the trophy they earned for finishing second in the recent Adidas Silver Gauntlet Nationals in Dallas, Texas. Columbia-Greene Media
The Cap City Scrappers were founded just four summers ago, but have come a long way since that time. Scrappers founder and coach Bobby Shields started the program with the mission of keeping kids off the streets during the hot summer months and also allowing those kids who never got to showcase their talents in high school a chance to prove themselves to colleges. As a one-man ownership team, Coach Shields and the Scrappers quickly grew their program with supporting coaches and staff, which included Pat Russo, Charlie Bianchino, Neil Epstein, Tracey Possinant, Dominic Petrocci and others. Coach Shields’ recruiting skill set led to wins in local tournaments in the upstate area as well as competing in some out-ofstate tournaments. Coach Shields’ teams were recognized with a partnership with the Boston Celtics (an NBA team) in November of 2017. Cap City followed that with a big ripple in the AAU scheme when they introduced their girls teams for the 2018 AAU season. Finding themselves once again starting from scraps they have also built a competing program for females. However, Coach Shields spring was just getting started. The Scrappers next partnership showed in the Adidas Gauntlet AAU circuit program in the summer of 2018. The Scrappers entered the ‘silver’ gauntlet
and they would compete in the 2nd tier of Adidas Gauntlet play with the starting goal of reaching the gold gauntlet. This summer was the biggest one for the Cap City program. The 15u (15 year olds and younger) team was making strides as one of the up and coming teams in the northeast and their season even featured a win against a talented gold gauntlet team in NEBC Buffalo. All of the Scrappers best teams attended the silver gauntlet regional event in Washington D.C. The 17u squad won the tournament, which earned them the rights to play in the Adidas National event in Dallas, Texas. After some fundraising and work, the Scrappers were able to put together a seven-man roster for the tournament, which took place from July 18th - 22nd. During pool play the team won its division to move into the gold bracket at the event. The following day the team had its first matchup in the knockout round against New Era. With eight teams remaining in the bracket, the Scrappers trailed 59-51, but with hard work in the last two minutes of play, they performed many hustle plays and were able to pull away with a tight victory. Kymani Harley of Pittsfield had 18 points and 6 assists while Rian Jewett of Maple Hill scored 12 points, shooting 4 for 4 from beyond the 3-point line. Lateef Johnson Jr. had the game sealing steal
along with 15 points, which led to the Scrappers advancing to the Final Four. In the semifinals, the Scrappers found themselves up against Team Arizona, which was the favorite to win the tournament. The Scrappers pulled out a 63-58 win to advance into the final of the bracket. Lavon Fernandez of Catskill scored 26 points and CJ Bianchino of Ravena scored 21 while Chatham’s Keon Armstrong grabbed 10 rebounds and Ricky Rollins of Mekeel Christian went to work on the defensive end with a total of five blocks for the game. The Scrappers then faced off against ASAK Elite Texas and lost in the championship game of the entire event. They placed second overall in the nation for the Adidas Silver Gauntlet 2019 circuit. Although they haven’t been promoted to the gold gauntlet yet, Shields says that it’s “very likely” and that they should be getting promoted. When Coach Shields was asked about his end goals for the Scrappers he stated that he wanted Cap City to be a “fully sponsored program that will help the kids get noticed and earn college scholarships” but that being promoted to the gold circuit is the goal at hand. The Cap City Scrappers have certainly impacted the basketball scene in the Capital District and with their most recent success they could arguably be one of the top tier AAU programs in upstate New York.
New cable network for ACC heightens arms race in college sports Kevin Draper The New York Times News Service
After three years of planning, building and negotiating, ESPN was ready this month to reveal the studio for its newest television channel, the ACC Network. A 30-minute teaser was produced, but when the scheduled time to stream it came and went, it became clear the hype-building exercise was a dud. “In true Live TV form, we’re standing by with technical difficulties,” an ESPN communications staff member wrote on Twitter. ESPN hopes the actual debut Thursday night goes more to plan. The channel will be both influential for
college sports and anachronistic to many viewers. The Atlantic Coast Conference is the fourth Power Five league with its own dedicated television channel. The venture will be owned by ESPN but will split expenses and revenue with the ACC. Among the top conferences in college sports, only the Big 12 remains on the outside looking in when it comes to the upside of a league-focused network. Of the Power Five, the ACC distributes the smallest share of money to each member school. The ACC Network should change that, accelerating the arms race in college See ACC B6
Fantasy football 2019: The do-not draft list Des Bieler The Washington Post
Succeeding in fantasy football drafts is not just about who you take and when, it’s about who you passed up in favor of your selections. That consideration of opportunity cost is at the heart of this annual post, because the players listed are usually pretty good, in and of themselves, but better options for fantasy teams are available where they’re going. In other words, the reason you do not draft these players is because they don’t merit their average draft position (ADP). At some point, of course, every player is worth drafting - even, say, Nathan Peterman could make for a reasonable pick, in a league with, you know, 200 bench spots (have fun with that draft). For this exercise, I’m defaulting to half-PPR scoring and using the ADP information helpfully aggregated by our friends at Fantasy Pros, compared to my own rankings. On with the list! - Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys (ADP: 4 | me: 8) It’s easy to see the temptation in rolling the dice on Elliott after the big three of, in some order, Saquon Barkley, Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey come off the board. The Dallas back has been a fantasy stalwart since going fourth overall in the real NFL draft in 2016, and in 2018 his receptions leaped to 77, from 58 combined over his first two seasons.
TIM HEITMAN/USA TODAY
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (21) catches a pass during practice at the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco.
It’s just too risky at this point, though, especially given the latest developments, including Elliott returning to the beaches of Cabo
San Lucas in a reported huff after Jerry Jones’ “Zeke who?” crack. The Cowboys owner was put in his jovial mood by the recent preseason
performance of rookie running back Tony Pollard, whose impressive work in training camp could have Dallas executives feeling confident about their team’s ability to weather a prolonged Elliott absence. For his part, Elliott may not be in a huge hurry to return, either, having already missed an Aug. 6 deadline to have this season count toward the four he needs to eventually become a free agent (he still has two years left on his rookie deal). He’ll be back at some point - quite possibly soon enough that this analysis will quickly be rendered irrelevant - but even then, Pollard might have done enough to carve out an appreciable role and eat into Elliott’s touches. I would plunk for Elliott if he fell to eight, which isn’t a huge difference, but you don’t need former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson’s draft chart to tell you that every pick this high counts in a big way. From picks four through seven, I would rather have David Johnson or Le’Veon Bell, stud RBs with none of Elliott’s uncertainty (the shoe’s really on the other foot for Bell this year, huh?), or one of the several elite WRs available (preferably, per my rankings, Julio Jones or Davante Adams). - Todd Gurley, RB, Rams (ADP: 14 | me: 22) There are just too many red flags for me to feel comfortable with Gurley that close to the See FOOTBALL B6

Curveballs rule at Little League World Series Jacob Bogage The Washington Post
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — For the two biggest outs of his team’s Little League World Series run, Louisiana manager Scott Frazier called for his 12-yearold pitcher’s new curveball. Conner Perrot learned how to throw it - middle finger on the horseshoe seam of the baseball, thumb directly beneath it, release the pitch the way you’d spiral a football - six months before this Aug. 17 game and spent four more months tinkering with it until it was ready for action. Now, from the same slot where Perrot throws his fastball, the curveball came looping out instead, starting down the middle of the strike zone even with a hitter’s belt before exiting stage left at his ankles. Breaking pitches have dominated here at the Little League World Series, where once the very thought of a child throwing a curveball or slider was met with disapproval. Hawaii relief pitcher Isaac Imamura used it to shut down New Jersey hitters who had prepared to fend off scorching fastballs. Canada’s Timmy Piasentin at times used breaking balls for the majority of at-bats against Curaçao. In the same game, Curaçao’s Keven Rosina buried his curveball in the dirt as a swing-and-miss pitch for strike three. Perrot threw his curve to close down Oregon rallies with a strikeout to end one inning and a double play groundball to end the next. “The curveball is the atomic bomb,” said Tommy John, a chiropractor, former minor league pitcher and the son of a former major league pitcher by the same name. “Nobody can touch it and the coach loves it because they win.” For generations, curveballs were considered too dangerous for young pitchers. The force on the shoulder and elbow involved with throwing such a pitch was thought to be too much for a child’s developing arm. Throwing too many
curveballs or throwing curveballs improperly could lead to ligament damage, coaches and doctors claimed, specifically tears to the ulnar collateral ligament, the tissue in the elbow that connects the upper arm to the inside part of the lower arm. Tears to that ligament are often called “Tommy John” injuries, named for the former MLB pitcher who in 1974 was the first to undergo reconstructive surgery for a UCL tear and return to a productive career. Curveballs, especially the wrist-flicking motion required to spin them effectively, were thought to exacerbate the force on the UCL, which acts like a slingshot in a throwing motion, said Glenn Fleisig, research director at the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Ala. That’s why at the start of the spring Perrot ditched his conventional curveball, one he’d thrown for years, for what he calls his “football pitch.” The seemingly more natural release, letting the ball roll off the fingers instead of flicking the wrist, makes the ball behave the same way as his old curve. “I was always taught to snap the wrist for a curveball, but [my coach] said that puts a lot of stress on your elbow,” Perrot said before his team defeated Minnesota on Aug. 19. “Ever since I started throwing [a curveball], it was just snap the wrist, snap the wrist and get rotation on the ball, and then he just taught me a different philosophy where you throw it like a football.” And at this Little League World Series, which concludes Sunday, debate persists over whether breaking pitches are safe for young pitchers. Years of worry fueled by anecdotal evidence have dissuaded some coaches and parents from teaching the pitch, or at least certain versions of it, to developing players. But researchers who study the biomechanics of pitching have shown the pitch
that coaches and medical professionals have fretted over for years is no more dangerous to throw than a fastball. Fleisig and other researchers at ASMI followed 500 baseball players ages 9 to 14 in the spring of 1999 and hypothesized that the rotational force, or torque, necessary to throw a curveball was harmful to young pitchers. The study, published in 2002 in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, did find a relationship between arm pain and breaking pitches. Curveballs were associated with a 52% increased risk of shoulder pain. And sliders, another type of breaking pitch that sweeps across the strike zone at high velocity, showed an 86% increase in elbow pain. But it also found a stronger relationship between the number of pitches thrown in a game and elbow and shoulder pain. “Although muscle soreness is normal and necessary in the development of a pitcher, joint pain is not,” the researchers, Fleisig, Stephen Lyman, E. David Osinski and renowned orthopedic surgeon James Andrews, wrote. They resolved that the topic needed more examination, so ASMI researchers conducted a biomechanical study in 2006 that did not find any significant differences in joint stress between fastball and curveballs. The researchers also tracked the same study subjects from 1999 for 10 years and released new findings in 2011 that disproved their original hypothesis: “The study was unable to demonstrate that curveballs before age 13 years increase risk of injury,” they wrote. Instead, they found the number of innings pitched was the greatest predictor of which pitchers would experience joint pain after outings and which pitchers would suffer elbow and shoulder injuries later in their playing careers. So why were breaking pitches so closely related to joint pain that was actually caused by overuse?
“The kid who has the good curveball is more likely to be overused,” said Eric Cressey, a strength and condition specialist who consults with MLB pitchers. “He’s more likely to be left in the game because the coach wants to win.” And in an age of sport specialization, when kids play the same sport - and use the same ligaments and groups of muscles - in all seasons, young pitchers’ arms often don’t get the rest they need after a strenuous season. “We set out to prove curveballs are dangerous and it didn’t really turn out, but we got slapped in the face by how strong the amount of pitching was a factor,” Fleisig said in an interview. “In this generation, we have a lot more kids getting [Tommy John] surgery, but this is not the first generation to throw the curveball. “. . . But this generation of specialization, whether it’s baseball, soccer or gymnastics, kids are being steered to play one sport all year. That’s not with bad intentions. The kids say, ‘This is my favorite sport and I want to keep playing.’ But the underdeveloped body is incapable of accommodating the same motions yearround.” Little League and other baseball governing bodies have instituted pitch count limits to protect young arms and established mandatory rest periods between appearances on the mound. But that’s not enough, said Frazier, the Louisiana manager. Especially in his state, where playing 12 months of nonstop baseball is routine for some kids, he encourages players to take four months off and go play another sport. Perrot, the pitcher, plays football in the fall and basketball in the winter. Every few days in the offseason, he said, he’ll throw a baseball around the yard just for fun, but nothing serious. The routine helps his arm stay fresh and in command of his pitches, like that “football” curve.
NHL notebook: Senators keep C White with 6-year deal Field Level Media
The Ottawa Senators signed promising center Colin White to a six-year, $28.5 million contract on Wednesday. The 22-year-old White had 14 goals and 27 assists in 71 games last season. His 41 points marked only the eighth time in franchise history that a rookie scored 40 or more points. White will make $4 million this season, according to the club. His following salaries break down this way: $4 million in 2020-21, $4.75 million in each of the following three seasons and $6.25 million in 2024-25. “We’ve identified Colin as one of our core young players who will help drive our team’s success in both the short and long term,” Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said in a statement. “Colin plays the 200-foot game that is so coveted in today’s NHL. He can skate, play on both special teams, and is a character player and leader who loves hockey and this city.” –Bill Guerin was named the new general manager of the Minnesota Wild. The four-time Stanley Cup champion spent the last eight seasons in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ front office. He will oversee the Wild’s hockey operations department and all matters related to player personnel, coaching staff, scouting and minor league operations. Terms of the multi-year
deal were not disclosed. “Bill has been a winner throughout his hockey career and I am extremely pleased to be able to add his experience to our organization and The State of Hockey,” team owner Craig Leipold said in a release. –The Wild re-signed center Joel Eriksson Ek to a two-year deal worth $2.975 million. The deal will pay Eriksson Ek $1.45 million this season and $1.525 million in 2020-21. Eriksson Ek, 22, had seven goals and seven assists in 58 games last season, his second full year in the NHL. He finished third on the team last season with 117 hits. –Center Derick Brassard agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the New York Islanders, the team announced. Financial terms were not disclosed for Brassard, who recorded 23 points (14 goals, nine assists) in 70 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Florida Panthers and Colorado Avalanche last season, but The Athletic reports the deal is worth $1.2 million. Brassard, 31, collected 15 points (nine goals, six assists) in 40 games with the Penguins before being traded to the Panthers on Feb. 1. He scored a goal and set up three others in 10 games with Florida before being shuffled to Colorado on Feb. 25. He scored four goals in 20 games with the Avalanche and also had an assist in nine playoff games with the club.
–Mark Pavelich, a forward for the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” U.S. Olympic ice hockey team, faces four felony assault charges after allegedly attacking his Minnesota neighbor with a metal pole. Pavelich, 61, was arrested
last week after the incident in his home near Lake Superior and remains in custody in lieu of $250,000 bail, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported. The charges include second-degree assault, third-degree assault, possession of a short-barreled
shotgun and possession of a firearm with a missing or altered serial number. A Cook County District Court judge ordered a mental competency hearing for Pavelich on Monday and he is due back in court in late October.

City of Hudson Issues Request for Proposal for its DRI BRIDGE District Connectivity Improvement Project The City of Hudson is seeking the services of qualified professionals to design and implement streetscape improvements within the City's Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) BRIDGE District. The City of Hudson has identified a series of streetscape and multimodal improvements to be approached with design excellence that will address pedestrian safety, enhance multimodal transportation, and improve connectivity to adjacent neighborhoods and the City's Downtown. This DRI project is funded by the NYS Department of State (NYSDOS). The City would like to more fully develop these concepts, select priority improvements based on public input/stakeholder feedback and advance key components through construction based on this input and the project budget, working with the City's DRI Committee and Grant Management Consultant. In 2017, Hudson was selected by New York State's Capital Region Regional Economic Development Council (CREDC) as one of the ten DRI Round Two communities. The City and its local partners were awarded $10 million in state funding to revitalize the designated BRIDGE District (Build-Renew-InventDevelop-Grow-Empower) located west of the City's Downtown with Second Street forming the eastern boundary, the Hudson River to the west, South Bay wetlands to the south and Dock Street to the north.. The overall plan should improve safety, provide enhanced connectivity to downtown and complementary DRI related investments. An optional pre-submission site tour will be scheduled for August 13, 2019, pre-registration is required to ensure seating space available for the driving tour. Following the submission deadline of August 27, 2019, select firms may be invited for interviews. RFP documents are below. For further information contact the Office of the Mayor, 518.828.7217.

MLB notebook: Rockies’ Gray out for season Field Level Media
Colorado Rockies right-hander Jon Gray will miss the remainder of the season with a fractured left foot. The Rockies placed Gray on the 60-day injured list Wednesday, but the team did not divulge how or when the injury happened. Gray, 27, posted an 11-8 record with a 3.84 ERA in 26 appearances (25 starts) this season. Colorado called up right-hander Tim Melville from Triple-A Albuquerque to replace Gray as the starter for Wednesday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix. Melville, 29, earned his first big-league victory as the Rockies beat the Diamondbacks 7-2. He pitched seven innings, allowing one run and two hits – including a line-drive homer by Ketel Marte in the sixth – with four strikeouts and two walks. –The Los Angeles Angels are returning rookie
starting pitcher Griffin Canning to the injured list after a recurrence of right elbow inflammation, manager Brad Ausmus indicated. The right-hander has an MRI scheduled for Thursday in Southern California, and though the 23-year-old Canning hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet, it will happen, according to Ausmus. “Obviously, you talk about a young talented pitcher, you are worried, but right now we have no concerns that it’s anything more than inflammation,” Ausmus said. “And mild inflammation at that.” –The Pittsburgh Pirates placed right-hander Chris Archer on the 10-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation in his pitching arm. Pittsburgh also placed reliever Clay Holmes (quadriceps) on the injured list and recalled fellow right-handers Dario Agrazal and Parker Markel from Triple-A Indianapolis.
Archer was injured during Tuesday’s game against the Washington Nationals. He worked the first inning and called trainers out while throwing his warmup pitches in the second, and soon exited the game. –Atlanta Braves catcher Brian McCann was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a sprained left knee, after departing Tuesday’s game due to discomfort in the knee. The 35-year-old McCann is batting .264 with 10 homers and 39 RBIs in 73 games. Atlanta recalled catcher Alex Jackson from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill the roster vacancy. –Major League Baseball warned players about the risk of using over-the-counter sexual-enhancement pills in a memo, ESPN reported. According to the memo, which was obtained by ESPN, at least two players who were suspended for performance-enhancing drugs said the banned substances found in their urine came

from such products. The memo was distributed Monday to warn against the risk of consuming non-certified supplements that may contain banned PEDs. “These products are often contaminated with prohibited and unsafe ingredients,” the memo said. –Nationals reliever Hunter Strickland isn’t expected to miss any playing time after breaking his nose while lifting weights. The 30-year-old right-hander, who joined the Nationals in a July 31 trade with the Seattle Mariners, sustained the injury before Tuesday’s game in Pittsburgh. Washington manager Dave Martinez told reporters after the 4-1 loss to the Pirates that Strickland was struck in the face by a barbell. He left PNC Park to have X-rays and returned with bandages over his nose and visible swelling and discoloration.

first round. It’s already a nearcertainty Gurley won’t get the workload that, in the past, has made him a No. 1 pick in fantasy, so at 14 you’re essentially paying for a best-case scenario in which he puts up something like 70% of his previous output. That could definitely happen, but then there are all the possible downsides, including weeks when his arthritic knee acts up and he barely plays at all, as well as Los Angeles potentially putting him on ice late in the season if it is close to wrapping up its division. It stands to reason that the Rams, who heavily worked Gurley in the regular season last year only to have him
nowhere near full strength for their Super Bowl run, might opt for a much different approach this time. - Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs (ADP: 20 | me: 37) No “Do not draft” list would be complete without a reminder to wait at QB, if only because of the unmatched depth at the position (in oneQB leagues without a superflex position, that is). Also of note is the fact that it’s been a decade and a half since a QB repeated as No. 1 in fantasy scoring (shout-out to Daunte Culpepper!). I know, I know, Mahomes went bonkers last season and appears to have everything back in place for another monster campaign. It’s just very unlikely that 50-TD seasons will be the norm for him, and the shorter he falls of that mark, the closer he drifts back to the pack.
We now know the teams that will compete in the rebooted XFL, which will kick off its 10-week season on Feb. 8, just a week after Super Bowl LIV. Here are the eight teams, announced Wednesday afternoon by XFL Commissioner Oliver Luck, ESPN’s Laura Rutledge, and FS1 host Colin Cowherd: — Dallas Renegades — Houston Roughnecks
- Melvin Gordon, RB, Chargers (ADP: 26 | me: 47) As with Elliott, Gordon just needs to end his holdout by late October or November to ensure he gets paid and has his contract status advanced next year. Unlike the Cowboys, though, who are merely hopeful that Pollard can be something special, the Chargers already know they have capable replacements in Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson. Add in that Gordon isn’t widely viewed as on the same talent level as Elliott, or as key to his team’s success, and it’s easier to envision the Chargers playing hardball. That, in turn, makes Gordon a shaky pick in the third round, when so many other good RBs (such as Kerryon Johnson, Aaron Jones, Leonard Fournette and Marlon Mack) tend to be available. - A.J. Green, WR, Bengals (ADP: 48 | me: 62)
— Los Angeles Wildcats — New York Guardians — St. Louis BattleHawks — Seattle Dragons — Tampa Bay Vipers — Washington Defenders So why were Rutledge and Cowherd on hand to announce the new team names? Probably because the XFL has multi-year deals in place with both ESPN and FOX Sports to televise next season’s games, which will air on FOX and ABC every weekend.
It’s unclear when Green will return from his ankle injury, but some estimates from analysts with medical backgrounds point to Week 3 at the earliest, and more likely Weeks 4 or 5. At that point we can only hope that the 31-year-old Green, who has missed games in three of the past five seasons, will actually stay healthy, and even then he’d be toiling for a Cincinnati squad that appears to have some major issues on the offensive line. I love the talent of Green, who practically defines “silky smooth” and can go up and get it with the best of ‘em, but I can’t stomach taking this version of him ahead of the likes of Tyler Lockett, Cooper Kupp and even Bengals teammate Tyler Boyd. - Bears D/ST (ADP: 78 | me: yeesh) That’s just ridiculous. No defense is worth a
ESPN, ESPN2 and FS1 will also air games throughout the season, and the league’s championship is scheduled to broadcast on ESPN on April 26. So far, just one player has signed a contract to play in the XFL: former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and former University of Oklahoma standout Landry Jones. The league is expected to announce more signings as NFL teams begin to cut their offseason rosters to 53 players.
seventh-round pick, or even, as some sites’ ADPs have it, a ninth-rounder. Or a 10th or an 11th or . . . you get the idea. Sure, Chicago was terrific last year, but so was Jacksonville in 2017, and after being the defense “worth reaching for” in 2018 fantasy drafts, the Jags went on to finish 12th. And that’s just one example - there are plenty more going back through the years. Heck, the 2012 Bears were 40 points better than the nextbest fantasy defense (per fantasydata.com), only to plummet to 18th the following season. If the best fantasy QB never repeats the following year, at least he usually sticks around the top, whereas the D/ST position experiences much greater volatility. So, please, let someone else do the reaching. - Dante Pettis, WR, 49ers (ADP: 87 | me: 110)

sports of coaching salaries and ever more opulent facilities even as each school takes on millions in debt from building on-campus studios. In a media environment in which streaming is the acknowledged future (and increasingly the present), the ACC Network is an honestto-goodness cable channel, ESPN’s ninth and perhaps final one. It demonstrates the continued relevance of television as the largest platform for mass consumption of sports, a reminder that the one-two punch of subscription fees and ad dollars — the combination that girded ESPN’s rise — remains formidable. “We don’t really view it as ‘Hey this is just a linear television channel,’” said Justin Connolly, the ESPN executive in charge of distribution. Hundreds of events produced by the network will be presented digitally, and ESPN’s distribution strategy has included streaming providers. The Big Ten conference debuted the first dedicated conference channel 12 years ago, and the Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference soon followed suit. John Swofford, the ACC’s longtime commissioner, said there were two reasons the conference waited so long, reasons that get at the heart of how conference networks make money. The ACC needed to grow, he said, and it needed to get better at football. In the past six years the ACC has added Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Louisville and Notre Dame (in all sports but football) while losing Maryland. Before that, it added Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College. The conference now stretches almost the entire length of the east coast, from Miami to Boston and upstate New York. “We needed to have a larger footprint with more television sets in that footprint,” Swofford said. Whether that growth has actually made the conference better at football is up for debate. The ACC placed a team in the College Football Playoffs each year since it began in 2014. But four of those five appearances were by Clemson, and being top-heavy isn’t the same thing as being deep. Only one other ACC school was ranked in the final AP Top 25 poll last season. The ACC finished in the top three
prepared.” But asking doesn’t always work. Bell is one of the team’s greatest assets, and so defensive players are reticent to really hit him. “In practice, they’ve got to look at me like, ‘We don’t want to hurt this in practice,’” Bell said. “But at the same time, I tell them, ‘Ya’ll can give me something extra.’ Even if they don’t sometimes, I try to give them something, get them a little upset or something.’” Bell is a master instigator, and has provoked his teammates into hitting him hard several times in practice the last several weeks. Some of it is trash talk, but a lot of it is Bell leaving the defenders no choice. “It’s his body demeanor, the way he’s attacking the defense,” Gase said. “Those guys know the difference … when they see him kind of start getting lower and accelerating toward them, they know that, ‘OK, he’s looking to do some damage.’” “I try to do that intentionally just so I can feel it,” Bell said. “ And a lot of times you’ll start seeing guys getting frustrated, trying to hit me back and that’s what I need. They won’t take me to the ground, they’re not really going for my legs. Hitting me up top, things like that, I need all that.” Those intense practice sessions are a big reason Gase and the Jets decided not to expose Bell to the risk of playing in the preseason. They believe he’s shown enough progress in the first month of practice to prove that he’s ready for the regular season. And Bell, who talked with reporters for the first time since the decision to hold him out of the preseason was revealed, said he’s “completely fine” with the plan. “Obviously, it’s still

of Sports Reference’s college football conference simple rating system just four times in the past decade, anchored by Clemson’s recent success. “Football was really driving the economic model, and consequently we felt like we really need to improve from a football standpoint,” Swofford said. While the ACC has remained a powerhouse in both men’s and women’s basketball, that sport lags far behind football in influencing viewership and revenue. ESPN’s programming executives will have to balance competing priorities. The ACC Network will show about 450 live events in its first year, largely the nonmarquee football and basketball matchups, along with less prominent sports like soccer, baseball and track & field. Hundreds more events will be available for streaming digitally. But ESPN also has a deal to pay the ACC $240 million annually for its top tier media rights for almost the next two decades. For that to be worthwhile, ESPN needs to put the very best football games on ABC or ESPN, where they will attract the largest audiences. Swofford said the ACC wants that, too. “At the same time, the ACC Network needs and will have marquee games as well, in order to keep it something that people desire,” he said. The ACC Network will show 40 football games this year, but if they only show ones like Louisville against Wake Forest (combined 2018 conference record: 3-13), few people will watch and cable companies won’t be compelled to carry the channel, which is critical for its success.
Barring any last-minute agreements — and in carriage negotiations, there are often last-minute agreements — the ACC Network will be initially carried by DirecTV, Verizon, Charter and Optimum, as well as a host of smaller companies and digital upstarts. It will not be carried by Comcast, AT&T, Dish or Cox. The first football game shown on the ACC Network will be the season opener for Clemson, the reigning national champion and preseason No. 1. The ACC and ESPN hopes that will drive demand from fans to television operators. Swofford believes the ACC Network will follow a similar growth trajectory to the Big Ten Network, which took a few years to reach widespread distribution. That channel is currently available in 57 million homes, according to the media research group Kagan. By way of comparison, ESPN is in around 85 million homes. There are a raft of digital replacements for the traditional cable bundles, and ESPN has agreements with most of them — including Hulu, YouTube and PlayStation — to carry the ACC Network. That’s an advantage other conference networks didn’t have at launch. “That dynamic is more real today than it has ever been,” Connolly said. The ACC also learned from the Pac-12’s failings. Rather than team up with a major media company when starting its channel, the Pac-12 opted to stay independent and wholly own and operate its channel. Seven years later, the Pac-12 Network is in just 18 million homes — less than a third of the reach of the Big Ten
Network and SEC Network — and contributes paltry sums to its member schools. “It is a lesson that is very well chronicled,” said Lydia Murphy-Stephans, who was the president of the Pac-12 Network for its first five years. “Universities and conferences are not media companies. They do not inherently have leverage to drive carriage.” Nobody in sports television has leverage like ESPN. The three-year ramp up meant carriage negotiations for the ACC Network could be tied to expiring agreements for ESPN and ESPN2, and even ABC and the Disney Channel. (The Walt Disney Co. owns ABC and the Disney Channel, as well as 80% of ESPN.) If a carrier wouldn’t take the ACC Network, ESPN could threaten to withhold plenty of must-have channels. “We could have launched sometime during the last three years or so, but this launch is strategic,” said Swofford, adding that a large part of that strategy related to “ESPN and their omnibus deals, and when those deals were up for negotiation for the future.” The ACC Network won’t radically transform the fortunes of either the conference or ESPN. The conference’s smaller sports will see the biggest returns, and the rights are a small part of the more than $6 billion ESPN will spend on sports this year. But as major college sports nears the end of a decade of conference-switching and turbulence, and as ESPN is in the midst of a radical transformation in viewing habits and media distribution, both hope the ACC Network will offer them a boost.
Even if the alarming struggles of San Francisco QB Jimmy Garoppolo don’t scare you off, the worrisome training-camp reports on Pettis probably should. Coach Kyle Shanahan even suggested recently that the second-year WR wasn’t assured of a starting spot, while rookies Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd have created a buzz . Even assuming Pettis does lock up a starting gig, he has little chance of actually being the Niners’ top pass-catcher, given the presence of kingpin TE George Kittle. It’s not like he’s particularly expensive, at the listed ADP, but Pettis has no business going off the board ahead of Josh Gordon (have to think his ADP is going nowhere but up, up and away), Sammy Watkins or Curtis Samuel, to name just a few.
practice,” Bell said. “I know once I get to the game it’s going to be a little different. But that’s something I’ll adjust to. I’ve been playing football my whole life. … It’s going to come. I don’t think four plays of the preseason is going to help me for Week 1 in the game.” Even though Bell is onboard with sitting out the preseason, it hasn’t been easy. He badly wants to get back on the field for the first time since he played in the playoffs with the Steelers in January 2018. In particular, he’s excited about the chance to play in Gase’s offense with second-year quarterback Sam Darnold. “I really hate watching Sam play,” Bell said, laughing. “You know what I’m saying? I just want to be in there with him because I know how special he is and I want to play with that. So I know everybody’s eager to watch me play … I’m eager to play.” The itch is so obvious that Darnold has been teasing Bell regularly about it. “He’s out there in pregame with the pads on and dancing around and he’s like,’”Let’s go, guys! Come on! Get fired up!’” Darnold said. “And I’m like, ‘Bro, you’re not even playing,’ Once you start playing, you can start doing that stuff.” But Bell, who admitted he’s impatient, is confident everything he’s doing will have him ready on Sept. 8, when he runs out of the tunnel at MetLife Stadium to face the Bills in a game that actually counts. And after the time away, and in his debut with a new team, Bell knows this Week 1 will be different than any he’s ever experienced. “It’s going to be a lot different, just because of the fact that nobody’s seen me in so long,” Bell said. “But I’m so eager … I think it’s going to be a fun year. I want to go out there and just show everybody I’m still the same player and help this team win games.”

Mother-in-law’s Alzheimer’s keeps couple tied to home I have been married 35 years. During the last six years, my mom died, my dad moved in and then he passed away at 91. Dad traveled, including to see my three siblings, and had a girlfriend. Three years ago, my mother-in-law, who is in the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s, moved in. My husband is an only child and has no other DEAR ABBY family nearby. A couple of years ago, our sons, both of whom are in their 30s and had been in the Air Force, moved in. They have steady jobs and contribute to the household. One just bought a house. My problem is with my husband. Because his mother can’t be left alone, we rarely go anywhere anymore. They don’t have a strong relationship and rarely speak to each other. When I try to talk to him about it, his answer is, “I promised I’d never put her in a nursing home,” and, “Honor thy mother and father.” We have been to counseling. It didn’t help. We are in our mid-60s and in good shape. I would like to travel before we won’t be able to anymore. His mother is almost 90 and has no other health problems, so she could live five or six more years. I feel he should put her in assisted living so we can get on with our lives again. I’m tired of taking care of others, and I want to “retire,” too. Am I selfish for feeling this way? How do others deal with this? How Much Longer?
JEANNE PHILLIPS
I have mixed feelings about your letter. Considering that your father moved in with you and your husband until his death, yes, I think your attitude is selfish. That said, Alzheimer’s patients
need constant supervision, and it is possible that in the right kind of assisted living situation, your mother-in-law could be doing better than she is. Social stimulation is important, and the activities that are provided could be good for her. The Alzheimer’s Association is a trusted source of information, and you and your husband should be getting help from it. Find it online at alz.org. The toll-free phone number is 800-272-3900. My daughter is marrying someone of a different faith. She doesn’t want to invite my husband’s first cousin and her spouse to her wedding. The spouse is openly racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic, and the cousin doesn’t contradict him. My daughter is inviting people of different faiths, ethnicities and sexual orientations. She does not want to share her wedding day with someone who is filled with hate for her other guests and for her fiance. Although we don’t socialize with this cousin and her spouse, my husband believes “family is family” and they should be invited. What is your opinion? On My Daughter’s Side I disagree with your husband. Because someone is a relative does not require the individual to be invited to every family function, particularly when your branch of the family doesn’t socialize with them otherwise. However, if your husband still insists they receive an invitation, he should follow up the invitation with a phone call detailing what will be expected of guests regarding civility and decorum.
Will prostate-shrinking meds affect low-grade prostate cancer? I’ve had low-grade prostate cancer for several years and am presently on “active surveillance.” My PSAs have been high but steady, running around 7.8 to 9.2. I have a greatly enlarged prostate, which I believe contributes to the high PSA numbers. TO YOUR I would like your opinion GOOD HEALTH regarding finasteride (Proscar), as I am considering taking it. I see one of its side effects is that it increases the risk of developing a very serious form of prostate cancer. Since I already have this cancer, am I at an increased risk of mine growing more aggressive?
DR. KEITH ROACH
A 2013 study showed that although finasteride reduced the overall risk of prostate cancer from 15% to 10% in men followed up to 18 years on finasteride, there was a small increase in high-grade, aggressive prostate cancer, from 3% to 3.5%. However, there was no increased risk of prostate cancer death among treated men. Several follow-up studies have suggested that the apparent small increase in aggressive prostate cancers reflected an easier ability to find these cancers, since finasteride shrinks prostate tissue, making it easier to both biopsy and read the results. I have breast cancer and am being recommended anastrozole. Can you tell me the side effects, both short term and long term? Anastrozole is an inhibitor of the enzyme
Family Circus
aromatase, which converts androgens made in the adrenal gland to estrogens. Anastrozole thus has the effect of dramatically reducing estrogen levels in the blood. For women with estrogensensitive tumors, this means less stimulus for the tumors to grow. Aromatase inhibitors like anastrozole have had a significant effect on improving cure rates and survival in women with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. The most common reason I see for women stopping anastrozole is the musculoskeletal pain that often accompanies it. Symptoms can be severe in up to a third of women taking it, but regular exercise and anti-inflammatory drugs are effective in reducing these symptoms. There are sexual side effects for many women. Estrogen is needed for optimal vaginal health, and the loss of estrogen due to anastrozole can cause vaginal dryness, which may lead to painful intercourse. This can be treated with lubricants. Fatigue, forgetfulness and poor sleep are often reported by women on anastrozole. Bone loss (osteopenia and osteoporosis) is more common in women on anastrozole. Nonpharmacologic strategies include regular exercise, calcium and vitamin D, and smoking cessation. While there are certainly downsides to taking anastrozole, they need to be balanced against the improved survival rates in women who take them compared with other treatments.

Horoscope By STELLA WILDER Born today, you are not one of those to announce your every move or give a running report of what you are doing and why — especially if it is something important that you are working on. The more important something is, the more likely you are to keep mum about it; you believe that talking about it can distract you from doing it and deplete your reserves of energy, inspiration and ideas. You wait until all is completed before unveiling your work — and the reaction is usually overwhelmingly positive. Your energy is high, your dedication is complete and you’re not one to give up on something just because it gets difficult. You thrive on difficulty — to a point. You are no fool, certainly, and when there is no chance or likelihood of success you will certainly abandon your efforts and move on to something else! Also born on this date are: Kobe Bryant, basketball player; River Phoenix, actor; Gene Kelly, actor, dancer, choreographer and director; Scott Caan, actor; Barbara Eden, actress; Rick Springfield, singer and actor; Keith Moon, drummer. 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, AUGUST 24 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’ll want to look carefully at all that is going on beneath the surface today. You’ll know what you must do by day’s end. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Information comes to you in fits and starts today. You’ll have the chance to give someone else his or her due — and take credit for it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — You’ve decided
there’s no difference between you and someone you admire — so there’s no reason you can’t equal his or her creative output. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — You’re giving someone else a little more of a head start today than anyone else. Is this fair? Perhaps that question is not one to ask. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You’ll understand what’s going on around you only after you study trends that have led you to where you are. Then it all makes sense! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — The usual and familiar may make you quite uncomfortable today for some reason, whereas you feel right at home with the new and untried. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Go fishing today and you’ll reel in the information you need. Don’t wait until you receive warnings that it will soon be “too late.” ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’re likely to find that you are only weakening your position today by trying to explain yourself. Let what you do stand on its own. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You may not understand how your thoughts and feelings work together today, but you must assume that they do. There’s a mystery to solve. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You likely have little or no time to spend looking for an “easy” way out of a certain situation. The hard way may be the only way — period. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You’re not likely to forget what happens today for a very long time — and it’s the little things that have the most profound impact on you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t stop until you cross the finish line today. There are those who would slow your progress if they could, but they are not a factor — yet.
