ACRA — State police are investigating a bizarre case of dognapping Thursday and are urging anyone with information to come forward. Meanwhile, the dog’s owner, Thomas O’Brien, of Acra, is heartbroken over his missing companion Rex. The black chihuahua-bulldog mix was allegedly stolen

from O’Brien during an early morning walk on Wednesday, his mother, Jeanette Ricucci said Thursday. O’Brien was walking Rex at about 2:30 a.m. on Joseph Chadderon Road when the dog spooked and broke loose from his collar, Ricucci said. Her son gave chase and was trying to catch up with the dog, Ricucci said. At about the same time, a

tan Buick stopped in the road, she said. The driver got out of the car. “[O’Brien] was screaming at him,” Ricucci said, referring to the driver. “[The driver] gave him the finger and took off [with the dog].” O’Brien was unable to get a clear view of the license plate number on the vehicle but he described the man as tall with See DOG A2

Twin Counties split on economic performance By Massarah Mikati Johnson News Service

ALBANY — Unemployment rates continue to fare relatively well in counties across New York state, according to data released Thursday by the Department of Labor. For the second year in the row, Columbia County’s 2.8%

unemployment rate is the lowest in the state. In a separate study by SmartAsset, Columbia County scored in the top 10 of financially healthy counties in New York, based on its residents’ poverty rates, bankruptcies and debt. But Greene County was not as successful, according to

the SmartAsset report, ranking 43rd among all New York counties. F. Michael Tucker, president of the Columbia Economic Development Corporation, said while the data from the Department of Labor is positive, there are still some issues behind the numbers to

look at. “It also reflects the fact that the growing service economy in the county is creating lower-paying jobs, as opposed to some of the manufacturing jobs that have been lost,” Tucker said. With so many people working, he added, employers in

the area may have a harder time finding qualified candidates for jobs they need filled — especially because nearly 40% of Columbia County’s workforce works outside the county. Underemployment is another issue to look out for, See SPLIT A2

The Catskill Post received another grant Thursday to repaint the interior of the building and do basement renovations.

CATSKILL — Call it a Veterans Day gift from one depot to another. Volunteers from The Home Depot’s Team Depot program will be sprucing up the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 774 on Main Street in Catskill next week, the company announced Thursday. Team Depot is granting the Catskill VFW $5,000 in gift cards to complete an interior painting project and do renovations to the basement lounge, said Trustee Jason Borgen, an officer of the post. “The building dates back to after the Civil War,” Borgen said. “It is has been a VFW since the 1920s. It will be nice to spruce the place up a little bit and attract some younger members.” The VFW boasts just under 100 members, Borgen said, and is one of two VFW posts in

Greene County. The second is located in Windham. “There are eight American Legions in the county but only two have buildings, in Greenville and Athens,” Borgen said. “It is nice getting grant programs to fix up these buildings.” Volunteers from the Catskill store will be coming to help paint Nov. 7, Borgen said. “We’re also doing some work in the basement lounge,” he said. “We’re putting a new drop ceiling in and some carpeting. I recently put a dehumidifier/AC unit so it will be nicer in the warm weather down there.” The VFW post is a gathering place for local veterans to gather Monday through Saturdays from 2 p.m. until about 8 or 9 p.m., Borgen said. On Saturdays, meals are available for the veterans, See VFW A2

The Keystone pipeline system, an addition to which has been the subject of environmental protests for years, leaked about 383,000 gallons of crude oil in North Dakota, covering an estimated halfacre of wetland, state environmental regulators said. The spill, which has been contained, occurred in a lowgradient drainage area near the small town of Edinburg in northeast North Dakota, less than 50 miles from the Canadian border, according to Karl Rockeman, the director of the state Department of Environmental Quality’s division of water quality. “It is one of the larger spills in the state,” he said in an email on Thursday. There are no residences

don’t have a major highway in them,” said Anthony Hayden, labor market analyst with the Department of Labor for the North Country region. “But if you exclude August and September, Jefferson County had been hitting record lows in terms of unemployment rate

for almost a year.” A representative from the North Country Regional Economic Development Council declined to comment on the recently released data, but it has invested in over 40 development projects to stimulate the economy between

Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties since 2011. Massarah Mikati covers the New York State Legislature and immigration for Johnson Newspaper Corp. Email her at mmikati@columbiagreenemedia.com, or find her on Twitter @massarahmikati.

near the site and the wetland is not a source of drinking water, he said. State regulators and cleanup equipment are on site, but Rockeman could not say whether cleanup had begun. The leak occurred along a stretch of the Keystone pipeline system, not the 1,179-mile-long addition to that system known as the Keystone XL pipeline, he said. Keystone XL has been the subject of environmental protests for years. President Barack Obama denied it a permit in 2015, but just days after taking office, President Donald Trump cleared a path for its operator, TC Energy, formerly known as TransCanada, to proceed. Catherine Collentine, an associate director with the Sierra Club, which opposes the

Keystone XL addition, said in a statement that this week’s leak is further proof that such spills are inevitable. “We don’t yet know the extent of the damage from this latest tar sands spill, but what we do know is that this is not the first time this pipeline has spilled toxic tar sands, and it won’t be the last,” she said. “We’ve always said it’s not a question of whether a pipeline will spill, but when, and once again TC Energy has made our case for us.” In a statement, TC Energy said the pipeline was shut down after the spill was detected at 9:20 p.m. local time Tuesday. The cause of the spill will not be known, the statement said, until an internal investigation is complete and the pipeline is analyzed by federal officials.

“We are establishing air quality, water and wildlife monitoring and will continue monitoring throughout the response,” the statement said. In 2017, a spill along the Keystone pipeline system coated a stretch of grassland in South Dakota with more than 407,000 gallons of leaked Canadian crude oil, which was nearly twice as much as originally estimated, according to the company. The pipeline also leaked about 16,000 gallons each in spills in 2011 in North Dakota and in 2016 in South Dakota. The original Keystone pipeline system began operation in 2010 and carries crude oil from Alberta, Canada, south to Texas. The system contains 2,687 miles of pipeline.

$1,600 Wayne C. Speenburgh Greene County Legislature Grant from the county, which it used to purchase a gas stove, a meat slicer and floodlights for the exterior of the building, Borgen said. The project was completed about a month ago. This is not Team Depot’s first project in Catskill. In June, Team Depot volunteers and town officials planted trees and shrubs in the veterans sections of the Catskill Cemetery. “These are the types of expenses that municipalities, with how tight their budgets are, we struggle to find this money,” Town Supervisor

Doreen Davis said at the planting. The $1,400 grant allowed the town to purchase shrubs, benches and a light for the flag at the VFW Memorial. “[These improvements] give a feeling of a place where people can sit quietly and reflect,” Davis said. The Catskill store’s first Team Depot project was the Town of Coxsackie Ambulance Service building, Eleanor Diller, a sales associate with Home Depot, said in June. Volunteers from the Catskill store painted the building, hung wall TVs and curtains and put in rugs,

Diller said. “We made it a lot nicer,” she said. “They have to be in that building 24 hours a day.” Team Depot, funded by the Home Depot Foundation, boasts more than 400,000 volunteers, according to Home Depot’s website. The Home Depot Foundation was established in 2011 and one of its primary goals is to improve the homes and lives of veterans.

O’Brien had an impact on Rex as well. “He’s friendly but he wasn’t that way when Tommy got him,” Ricucci said. “He worked some sort of miracle on him and now he’s a sweetheart.” Still, Rex can be wary of strangers, Ricucci said. “My opinion is someone who knew him took him,” she said. “He usually doesn’t like strangers.” Ricucci appealed for the

return of her son’s dog and wants to see the situation resolved in a positive way. “He can turn him into a shelter at this point, as long as he’s returned,” she said. Rex weighs about 16 pounds. The dog is black with a brown patch on his left side. Anyone with information about the dog is urged to contact state police Catskill at 518-622-8600.

Tucker said — there are a number of people in Columbia County who pair full-time jobs with multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet. “I think it’s positive that we’re doing better than counties at the lowest ends of the scale,” Tucker said. “At the same time, we can’t take our foot off the gas. We must remain vigilant to ensure that at the end of the day, it’s all about the quality of life and good jobs for the county.” Genesee and Greene counties trailed close behind Columbia, with unemployment rates of 3.3% and 3.7%, respectively. Economic development officials from Greene and Genesee counties did not respond to requests for comment. While the North Country continued to trail behind the rest of New York with some of the lowest unemployment rates in the state, the area is keeping up with its personal best records of unemployment — 4.7 percent in the Watertown-Fort Drum area as of September. “They’re rural, they’re sparsely populated, there’s really no major metropolitan area closely, a lot of counties

ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU NEVER SAYS “NO” CARING & UNDERSTANDING Paid for by Michael Pirrone

www.bSchneckPhoto.com

To Town of Cairo Voters The Greene County Conservative Party Executive Committee is supporting Sherry True as the Town of Cairo Supervisor for 2020. Earlier in the year, we had endorsed Dan Benoit for Supervisor. Unfortunately, due to the late date of his withdrawal from the race, Dan Benoit’s name will still appear on the Conservative line of the ballot even though he is not running for the position. Therefore, we encourage you to cast your vote for Sherry True on her ‘’True Choice Party’’ line on November 5th. Sherry True has pledged to be the first full-time Supervisor the town of Cairo has had in many years. She has no agenda other than to bring the town of Cairo forward in positive ways. Sherry is a life long resident of Cairo and has worked tirelessly for the betterment of the town. For the last four years she has served as Secretary to the Cairo Town Supervisor, and has taken on many of the day to day tasks within the town government. Sherry has been involved in the the positive changes to the old Cairo Zoning Law, which was enacted by the administration before Dan Benoit became Supervisor. These new changes make the law less restrictive and more business friendly. This is a vital step toward expanding our tax base and reducing the tax burden on individual taxpayers. As a member of the Cairo Development Foundation, Sherry has been instrumental in obtaining grants for the town of Cairo, including one that funded the purchase of the old Cairo Garage. This building is now a model of the proven Main Street concept that promotes businesses on the first floor and apartments on the upper floors. Other funded plans include the demolition of the adjacent blighted building, which will be replaced with a pocket park and direct access to the Cairo Town Park. Sherry True has proven that she is dedicated to Cairo, has a vision for its future, and has the work ethic to follow through and get things done for our town. Of the three candidates in this year’s Cairo Supervisor election, only one has not been a Cairo Town Supervisor from the past Sherry True is the best choice as the new Supervisor of the town of Cairo. She is the new voice for the future of our town.

OUR VIEW

A human face on the opioid crisis Robert Owen loved to draw and play the guitar. He loved the outdoors and spending time with his family. Robert Owen also put a human face on the area’s opioid crisis. This quiet, humble man served as an infantryman in the U.S. Army yet he could not win a battle he faced each day. Robert was an addict. Unfortunately, he is not the first overdose fatality and he will not be the last. The others who went before are just as much the faces of this horrible crisis as Robert Owen. He epitomizes the sense of loss their families must bear. Owen struggled for most of his life with alcohol, said Emmy LaRosa, his high school sweetheart, wife and best friend. But most recently it was heroin. And it would be an overdose of heroin that snuffed out his life at 51. The statistics from the New York State Opioid Annual Data Report issued in 2018, the most recent report on opioid deaths issued by the state Department of Health, are not encouraging. Among New York state residents, the number of overdose deaths involving all opioids nearly tripled

from 1,074 in 2010 to 3,009 in 2016. The age-adjusted rate of deaths involving all opioids in the state also approximately tripled between 2010 and 2016, from 5.4 to 15.1 deaths per 100,000 population. This included a large increase in the age-adjusted rate of deaths involving synthetic opioids. Despite all that has been done in Greene and Columbia counties to stop, or at least check, this deadly epidemic, it could not save Robert Owen. His death, a tragedy in its own right, is reason for concern. It suggests a new demographic is getting hooked on opiates. Disturbing, too, is the speed with which the opioid outbreak can take lives. Emmy was having surgery around Christmas 2018 when Robert’s life spiralled out of control. Emmy got a phone call at the hospital while she was recovering. The caller said something happened to Robert and to come immediately. Emmy’s mother accompanied her to the Catskill motel where Robert was staying. Sadly, it would be his last address on Earth. Emmy decided to channel her grief and pain and what she learned from living

with an addict and turn it into something good. She founded the group “It Takes a Community.” The group provides overdose awareness, information on recovery and rehabilitation, and support for anyone struggling or in crisis in Greene County. One of the group’s first acts was to start a drug tip line with the Greene County Sheriff’s Office at 518-719-3571. Emmy is also using the group as a vehicle to challenge people’s perceptions of addiction. “There is so much more to addicts than their addiction,” Emmy said this week. “Bobby had so many talents, and I don’t think people realize that addicts are sick. People think they want to be this way.” Here’s the message Emmy is sending: Heroin addiction is a dangerous, debilitating and sometimes deadly public health emergency in the Twin Counties and across the state, and that addiction is an illness, not a criminal act. As Emmy noted, her husband did not like what heroin made him and he only wanted release from his terrible habit. If we listen, Robert Owen will not have died in vain.

Lessons from Boeing’s turbulence The Washington Post

A central lesson of the 2008 financial crisis is the danger of regulatory capture. Banks and other financial institutions, such as Fannie Mae, upon which society depended for basic economic services consistently underestimated and, at times, understated the risks of their profit-seeking operations. Many government agencies tasked with curbing such tendencies did not do so, in part because they had fallen under industry’s sway. A devastating crash resulted. The analogy between that history and the crisis surrounding Boeing, America’s preeminent manufacturer of civilian passenger jets, is not precise, but it is instructive. Out of commercial motivation Boeing urgently developed the 737 Max airliner in 2011. A key innovation was anti-stall software known as MCAS, which Boeing de-

signed to operate based on data from just one sensor, rather than redundant systems, even though this could mean that one flawed set of inputs might baffle pilots and doom a jet. It’s a convoluted and technically complex tale, but the gist is that Boeing failed to act on information it had that could have prevented the disasters. Concerns about MCAS, the adequacy of pilot training and other safety-related issues were raised more than once in the company prior to the first crash. Boeing’s top executive, Dennis Muilenburg,apologized to victims’ families in emotional testimony this week. He was less effective in explaining how it could have been that he did not respond aggressively and personally to a Boeing test pilot’s textmessage warnings about the MCAS as early as 2016. Nothing fundamental

changed despite the warnings; even after the second crash, in Ethiopia, Boeing tried to deflect blame and resisted grounding the 737 Max fleet until regulators around the world barred it from their airspace. Only then did the Federal Aviation Administration say that it, too, would bow to safety concerns. A more aggressive FAA might have forced Boeing to act earlier, as part of the certification process for the 737 Max. Over the years, however, the giant company, which garners a quarter of its $100 billion-plus annual sales from the Pentagon and deploys a small army of lobbyists in Washington, had prevailed upon lawmakers to allow its own employees to take on more and more of the technical work involved in obtaining FAA certification. Semi-self-regulation appeared to be working fine.

We are all witnesses to history. After all, what is history but a record of events during the passing of time, of things that are happening now but that become the past as soon as it isn’t now. Just because things happened in the past doesn’t mean they ever really go away, never entirely away. As William Faulkner famously put it in “Requiem for a Nun,” “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” Just to take a not quite so random example, consider the current mess that is the Middle East, a mess that we’ve been witnessing daily, most of us from the sidelines, for most of our lives. One could understandingly say that it most directly is a byproduct of the 2003 American invasion of Iraq, but that’s not really the beginning. Certainly, one could say it started with the attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11. Go back further. Go to the Iranian Revolution or, earlier, to the installation of the Shah; go to the creation of the state of Israel and the wars that followed; go back to the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the dividing up of the Middle East by the Allied victors in WWI; go back to the 1853 Crimean War; go back to the Crusades. You could go back to ancient Rome, ancient Greece, ancient Egypt. How far back do you want to go? All these events, all the events in between, have echoes in the present moment, all contribute to the present moment. “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” High school was where I first became interested in history and politics, precursors to my career. I witnessed my first political campaign (an off-year mayoral election in New York City) as a 9th grader, a class that required me to go to campaign rallies, read campaign platforms, try to interview candidates and voters. Even now, I think back to the events I have witnessed that still reverberate through time. In 1944, I helped my grandfather put pins into a map of Europe marking the advance of the Allies after the invasion of Normandy. I remember afternoons after school sitting at our dining room table watching the Army-McCarthy hearings; sitting in a video editing room and taking time out to watch the Watergate hearings and later the Iran-Contra Hearings, all before and during my long career in TV journalism. In my job, I was privileged to be a professional witness at other events, meaning that I was doing my job. I traveled to hot spots around the world:

MY VIEW

MICHAEL

SALTZ Nicaragua, Panama, Iran, Libya, South Africa, Rhodesia, along with Russia, England and France. I’ve heard the crackle of gunfire, been confronted at gunpoint, taken some foolhardy risks. And I traveled to almost every state in the U.S., doing my job. What I saw, what I and my colleagues witnessed in our travels, be it the thousands of people living in cardboard boxes along a highway during the revolution in Nicaragua or the top Little League pitcher in Phoenix, Arizona, whose parents insisted she give up her baseball dreams because they weren’t appropriate for a girl, became things that you, too, witnessed. What I did professionally, we all do on a daily basis in our lives. We, too, see and/or read news of the wider world but we also see what happens around us, what happens to family, friends and neighbors, what happens in our jobs and in our towns. We are witnesses to it all and it all is history as soon as it happens. Even more, in our own lives we are acutely aware that “the past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.” What has brought this to mind, at least at this moment, is Samantha Power’s autobiography, “The Education of an Idealist.” If you don’t remember who she is, most famously she was Obama’s last UN ambassador. An Irish immigrant to the USA as a child, she became a classic overachiever, whether it be as a student or basketball player, someone who had a hard time knowing when to stop. Becoming passionately involved in the Bosnian civil war, she traveled there as a stringer, a freelance journalist, selling stories about what she witnessed to whoever would buy them. She wrote a book, “A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide,” a study of America’s response (or lack of one) to genocides around the world in the previous 100 or so years. Aside from it winning a Pulitzer Prize, no one inside the government or outside, civilian or military, Republican or Democrat, had ever undertaken such a study. Her work led to her becoming a foreign

policy adviser to Obama, then a member of the NSC and, finally, the UN ambassador. The real subject of the book is about the transition from witness and activist to policy maker and policy implementer. Or as she might put it, between advocating and getting stuff done. Or, to give it a specific example in which she was involved, between telling the world about the Ebola epidemic and playing a vital role in getting the nations of the world to join together to intervene—to help control the epidemic as it was beginning to spread. If you cannot save everyone, save who you can even if it’s just one person. If you can’t solve the big problem, solve a small one. As a government official, her motto always was, “Get S**t Done.” As I’m sure you can tell, I’m an unabashed admirer of her and of this book. It is intensely personal and sometimes quite moving. It also is filled with interesting discussions of policies, both successful and unsuccessful, including the aforementioned Ebola crisis, the response to the use of Sarin in Syria’s civil war, the Darfour genocide, the Libyan civil war, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Above all, now that I’m retired and no longer a professional witness to our world, the book made me think about this business of being, in my daily life, a witness to the world around me. What I do, of course, is write these columns and readers take from them what they will. Then again, even if retired, I’m just doing what I’ve done my entire life, just on a smaller scale. If at one time I could count my audience in the millions, it is now much smaller. But we, all of us, do what we do. I write columns. Perhaps you’re a volunteer fireman or a volunteer in a hospital, help in a homeless shelter on Thanksgiving—any of a thousand things — or, even, simply do your job, whatever it may be. We do what we can, what we feel able to do once we’ve taken care of the most immediate responsibilities of our lives, the care and feeding of ourselves and our families. Samantha Power had a coffee mug as did everyone on her staff. On it were stamped the letters “GSD”. Get S**t Done. A pretty good motto for all of us.

Court weighs Trump claim that top aides are immune from subpoena Spencer S. Hsu The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — A federal judge Thursday will weigh the Trump administration’s claim that former White House counsel Donald McGahn and top presidential aides are absolutely immune from Congress’s subpoenas in a potential landmark lawsuit brought by the House Judiciary Committee to force McGahn to testify. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, has fast-tracked the scheduled 2 p.m. hearing for McGahn, whom House Democrats described as one of their “most important” witnesses in an impeachment inquiry. The case is one of several major political and legal battles between Congress and the Trump White House over the Constitution’s balance of powers, as Democrats formally probe Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukrainian government officials to investigate former vice president Joe Biden, a potential 2020 campaign rival, and Biden’s son Hunter Biden. Charles Kupperman, who served as deputy to former national security adviser John Bolton, also is due in the same courthouse Thursday for an initial hearing in a lawsuit he filed asking a federal judge to decide whether he must comply with a House subpoena in the impeachment inquiry. The House Judiciary Committee sued Aug. 7 to enforce its April subpoena to McGahn, a key figure in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. The White House blocked McGahn’s testimony, advising the former counsel that he was “absolutely immune from compelled congressional testimony” and directing him not to appear.

E. JASON WAMBSGANS/CHICAGO TRIBUNE/TNS

President Donald J. Trump speaks at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference at McCormick Place Monday, October 28, 2019.

Lawyers for the committee’s Democrats call the claim “spurious” and say it has no grounding in case law. The House asked the court to expedite the case so it could be appealed by whichever side loses, saying the Trump administration was seeking to establish a dangerous precedent shielding top presidential advisers from testifying before Congress, even those who no longer work for the White House. House general counsel Douglas Letter argued that “the Judiciary Committee cannot fulfill its constitutional investigative, oversight and legislative responsibilities - including its consideration of whether to recommend articles of impeachment - without hearing from [McGahn].” William Burck, McGahn’s attorney, said in a statement that McGahn will abide by the president’s instructions

absent a contrary decision from the court. McGahn “has an ethical obligation to protect client confidences,” Burck said. “Don does not believe he witnessed any violation of law. And the president instructed Don to cooperate fully with the special counsel but directed him not to testify to Congress unless the White House and the committee reached an accommodation.” The lawsuit states that McGahn witnessed “nearly all of the most egregious episodes of possible presidential obstruction,” and his statements are mentioned in the special counsel’s 448-page report more than 160 times. “McGahn is uniquely positioned to explain those events, bring additional misconduct to light, and provide evidence regarding the president’s intent,” the complaint says, noting that Trump has disputed

significant portions of these events and accused McGahn of fabricating facts. “Live testimony from McGahn is essential” to resolving any conflicting accounts, it says. Mueller’s report ultimately concluded that it was not the special counsel’s role to determine whether the president broke the law. James J. Gilligan, special litigation counsel at the Justice Department, countered that the nation’s history made clear that the Judiciary Committee cannot “enlist the courts on its side of a dispute with the Executive Branch.” “Judicial resolution of disputes directly between the Executive Branch and Congress has been virtually unknown in American history, and is inconsistent with the Constitution’s fundamental principle that the surest safeguard for liberty” was to let the political branches battle each other.

Chicago’s striking teachers FUNERAL DIRECTORS vote to go back to school Mitch Smith and Monica Davey The New York Times News Service

CHICAGO — Thousands of Chicago’s public-school teachers will return to classrooms Friday, ending a strike that left more than 300,000 students out of school for 11 days, the city’s mayor announced Thursday. A tentative contract deal between city officials and teachers in the nation’s third-largest school district resolved a tense standoff that had upended the lives of families all over the city and represented the biggest test to date of Chicago’s new mayor, Lori Lightfoot. The walkout by the Chicago Teachers Union, which lasted longer than any schools strike in this city since 1987, was over an array of issues, beyond traditional questions over pay. The teachers called for more social workers, librarians and nurses in schools, smaller class sizes and protections

for immigrant children. Over the last few weeks, teachers marched near schools and through the city’s downtown business district, as negotiations went on with city leaders. In the end, the city said it had agreed to $35 million to reduce class sizes and hundreds of additional staff members by 2023. The city’s offer included a 16% salary increase over five years. During the strike, parents scrambled to find child care, some paying for impromptu day camps, while others stayed home from work to care for their children. School buildings remained open during the strike for children without other options. Several Democratic presidential candidates offered support for the teachers, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren spoke to teachers on the picket line. For Lightfoot, who was elected earlier this year, the strike provided a test of her

leadership in a city where labor unions have broad support but where severe fiscal challenges have been a perpetual concern. Lightfoot, who carried all 50 wards in April’s election, had campaigned on promises to address long-standing inequities in the city and to hire more school nurses and librarians. But she said she was constrained on what she could offer in the contract by the school district’s precarious financial position. The strike, which was the first multiday work stoppage by Chicago Public Schools teachers since 2012, was the latest in a string of more than a dozen major walkouts by teachers across the country. Since early last year, walkouts have taken place in conservative states like Oklahoma and West Virginia, as well as in liberal cities like Denver and Los Angeles.

Strong quakes kill 20, injure hundreds in southern Philippines Andreo Calonzo and Ditas Lopez Bloomberg

At least 20 people have died, hundreds wounded and thousands of structures damaged after a series of powerful earthquakes hit southern Philippines in the past two weeks, according to disaster risk-reduction agencies. A 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck Mindanao island on Thursday morning,

with Cotabato province as its epicenter, two days after a 6.6 magnitude quake hit the same area. On Oct. 16, Cotabato province felt a 6.3 magnitude tremor that killed at least seven, while 13 people have died from quakes in the last 3 days. Thursday’s earthquake left a hotel in Cotabato’s capital city near collapse, while a condominium in Davao City sustained major

damage, according to reports from provincial agencies. President Rodrigo Duterte’s house in Davao City where he was staying during the quake sustained cracks and was checked for structural integrity, his security chief said. Duterte is pushing through with his scheduled departure for Bangkok on Friday to attend the Asean Summit.

TANNERSVILLE PUMPKIN WALK HUGE SUCCESS

POUGHKEEPSIE — More than 1,800 inspired community members raised more than $171,000 in the 11th annual Hudson Valley Walk to Defeat ALS on Oct. 20 on the Walkway Over the Hudson. This year’s event means local residents have raised nearly $1.9 million over the last decade to combat this devastating disease and benefit patients living with ALS. Sometimes referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Patients eventually lose their ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually even breathe. The diagnosis can happen to anyone, old or young, as the disease knows no racial, ethnic or socioeconomic boundaries. During the festivities participants used wheelchairs, skateboards, strollers, bikes, and, of course, legs to power through the 3-mile course. Families and friends were emotional as the teams, including Vincent Strong, Sara’s Army, Ed’s Cavalry, and Darren’s Keepers, among others, laughed, cheered and chanted to keep spirits high. Entertainment came from young dancers from Madeline’s Dance Center in Marlboro and college students from nearby Marist College led walkers through a pre-walk warm up routine. Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro declared Oct. 20 would be known as Defeat ALS Day throughout the county. Kristen Cocoman, president and CEO of the ALS

November Jazz Just over four years ago I met a relatively new jazz musician to the area, Phil Allen. On a gig that we had with Skip Parsons, I learned that this valve trombonist was also a composer and arranger with a considerable resume including writing for and playing in a band with Stan Kenton drummer, John Von Ohlen. Having led a big band of my own for over 20 years, I offered to get some players to read through some of Phil’s arrangements as he did not know many musicians in the area yet. Long

story short, we formed the Phil Allen/Michael Benedict Concert Jazz Band and been performing ever since at the Lark Tavern, Savoy Taproom, Troy Kitchen, Renaissance Hall and Caffe Lena. After some time I decided to hand over my involvement in the management of the band and continued to be the drummer in the Phil Allen Concert Jazz Band. We have had some changes in personnel over the years and I am now playing the vibraphone in this great band.

Come check us out at A PLACE FOR JAZZ on Friday, November 1 at 7:30 at the Whisper DOME at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Schenectady located at 1221 Wendell Ave. APFJ is THE premier organization for Jazz presentations. We will be swinging and we will be playing brand new material by both Phil and trumpeter/ composer Dylan Canterbury! The next night I will be with my Jazz Vibes Quartet at 9 Maple Avenue.

‘50 Years After Gettysburg.’ The Second Battle of Gettysburg COXSACKIE — On Thursday November 7th, the Greene County Historical Society is pleased to welcome back speaker Ron Gabriele who will offer the program “50 Years After Gettysburg.” The Second Battle of Gettysburg is the story of the 50th Anniversary Commemoration of the original battle of Gettysburg which took place July 1-3, 1863. The program will examine how it took four years to plan the commemoration event; the obstacles of organizing such an event including how in 1913 they would transport 54,000 aging veterans from every state to the remote hamlet of Gettysburg in south central PA; how the U.S Army fed everyone at the event; what the veterans did during the event; the news coverage of the event at the time; the famous dignitaries at the commemoration; and finally the emotional conclusion of the commemoration event.

Ron Gabriele

Mr. Gabriele holds an MS from SUNY Albany and a BS from SUNY Brockport. In 2003 he retired from Columbia Greene Community College where he held the position of Athletic Director and taught health and physical education for many years. The program will begin at 7pm and be held in the reading room of the Greene County Historical Society’s Vedder Research Library located on the grounds of the Bronck Museum. The Bronck Museum is located just off US 9W 1.5 miles south of the intersection of routes 9W, 385, and 81 near Coxsackie. This program is free and open to the general public, but donations would be appreciated in support of the Beecher Scholarship – a $1,000 annual scholarship awarded to a Greene County senior high school student who writes a paper related to Greene County history.

Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys come to Helsinki HUDSON — It’s gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll blowout when one of Club Helsinki Hudson’s alltime favorite artists — Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys — rock the house on Friday, Nov. 8, at 9 p.m. Rockabilly and other pre- and early-rock ‘n’ roll styles, including Western swing, honkytonk, doo-wop, jump blues and country boogie, never go out of style. And that’s why Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys have been successful at keeping the flame of early rock ‘n’ roll alive for over a quarter of a century. Led from the beginning by Robert Williams, aka Big Sandy, the group has expanded its musical scope over the last three decades from its roots in rockabilly — which garnered them a place in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame — to incorporate the full range of pre- and early-rock ‘n’ roll influences. Hearing Big Sandy instantly puts a listener in mind of early greats like Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Buck Owens, Chuck

Robert Williams, aka Big Sandy

Berry, and, of course, Elvis Presley. Over the last three decades, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys have kept up a constant cycle of traveling back and forth across the lower 48, then traveling to Europe and beyond, spreading the gospel of old-fashioned

American rockabilly. They bring with them a brand of American music that has earned them an induction into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, several national television appearances, guest spots on the Grand Ole Opry, and a slew of adoring fans. The group’s approach

encompasses a bit of Western swing mixed with gospel on “My Sinful Ways Are Over,” and their version of “Backdoor Dan,” demonstrates their love of jump-blues and early R&B. You might even hear some Freddy Fender music—the group is scheduled to release a tribute album to the Tejano singer soon—perhaps “Before the Next Teardrop Falls.” Big Sandy talks about rockabilly and his group’s sound on Kansas City Live! before launching into an in-studio version of “Chalk It Up to the Blues.” Most of us were too young to have experienced the thrill of rockabilly the first time around. That’s why it’s so great to have Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys to re-create that sound and experience. For reservations in the restaurant or in the club, call 518828-4800. For the most up-todate concert information, visit Club Helsinki Hudson.

ART OMI Saturday kids workshop This Saturday Art OMI will take a close-up look at the sculptural works by Francesca DiMattio currently on view in the Newmark Gallery. The exhibit features four large pieces created by the artist using mostly porcelain to reference the deep history of the material and its use in a variety of cultures and histories. The exhibition invokes artifacts such as the Venus of Willendorf and ancient Greek depictions of Venus, as well as quotidian objects such as pillows and children’s toys. After a hike through the

sculpture park, kids will participate in a collage project incorporating images from art publications, National Geographic volumes, and other vintage magazines. We will cut, combine, and compose images from these varied sources to create “statues” of our own inspired by DiMattio’s work. 5-12 (strict) Meet at the Benenson Center Drop-off 10 a.m., Pick-up at noon $12 per child or $20 for two siblings.

Hudson, ICC drop finales By Tim Martin Columbia-Greene Media

HUDSON — Niskayuna scored two touchdowns in the final 18 seconds of the first half and went on to defeat Hudson, 26-22 in Wednesday’s crossover game at the Bluehawks Sports Complex. Trailing 16-13 with less than a minute to go iin the opening half, the Silver Warriors surged ahead when Brock Behrman tossed a 22 yard touchdown pass to Tyler Borwhat. Aidan Pendergast’s point after kick made it 20-16. With just :00.7 left on the clock, Niskayuna scored again, this time on a 57-yard interception return to take a 26-16 edge into the lockerroom at halftime. Hudson closed the gap early in the fourth quarter on a 15-yard pass from Caleb Romano to Deandre Smith, but the Bluehawks would get no closer. Hudson finishes with a 3-6 overall record. “We’ve gotten so much better in the last 10 weeks and that was my message to them after the game,” Hudson coach John Davi said. “We have to keep moving forward, we have to keep working hard, we have a whole offseason now, let’s get better, let’s get stronger. “This was a good learning season for us. We have some guys that never played football before and they’re starting on

both sides of the ball. With experience, I think we get better, stronger and we start to play as a group.” While not happy with a sub.500 record, Davi was pleased with the effort his team gave all year. “We were in almost every game we played,” Davi said.

“We played Glens Falls twice, No. 1 team in the state, and we were in the game against Holy Trinity. We played some of the best teams in Class B of Section II and I felt we held our own. I’m happy with that.” Johnstown 54, Ichabod Crane 14 VALATIE — Chase Benton

rushed for three touchdowns to lead Johnstown to a 54-14 victory over Ichabod Crane in Wednesday’s season-ending crossover game. Benton had scoring runs 48, 18 and 17 for the Sir Bills, who built a 30-8 lead by halftime and never looked back. See FOOTBALL B6

Riders advance to Section II title match Columbia-Greene Media

ROTTERDAM — Ichabod Crane punched its ticket to the Section II Class B boys soccer championship match with a 4-1 victory over Cobleskill-Richmondville in Wednesday’s semifinal at Mohonasen High School. Edgar Gomez scored a pair of goals for the Riders. Logan Groat scored on a penalty kick and Joe Desmonie had a goal. Zach Zeyak and Jack Goldman each had an assist. Ichabod Crane outshot Cobleskill, 16-9. Riders’ goaltender Quinn Murphy turned away eight shots. Nick Beevers had 12 saves for the Bulldogs. Ichabod Crane will play Schuylerville for the Class B title on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Colonie High School. CLASS C Lake George 1, Maple Hill 0

ROTTERDAM — Lake George earned a 1-0 victory over Maple Hill in Wednesday’s section II Class C boys soccer semifinal. Both teams played the ball on the carpet and strung together passes in an attempt to control the game. Possession favored Lake George, but it was 60-40. After 80 minutes, the ball had only crossed the goal line once, but that is all that was needed. Midway into the first half, central midfielder Sam Knauf was taken down just outside the area for a free kick. Ethan Knauf curled his shot around the wall and into the near post for what would end up being the game winner. Just before that, Hill had a great opportunity to take that same 1-0 lead when Dominic Hirschoff broke into the box 1 v 1 with the keeper, and as he was coming toward goal, picking his spot in the nets to place what would be the

game winner, defender Garrett Dunsmore’s hustle caught up to him and deflected his attempt wide. With four minutes to play in the half, and Hill got their set play chance on a take down in the offensive third, but their attempt on goal sailed high of the target. Maple Hill stepped up its game in the second half, and Hirschoff, Eli Charlebois, and Luc Charlebois were all keys to the passwork, trying to elude the Warrior defenders and get that setup to tie the match. The Warrior defense was determined not to let that happen. Colby Seguljic, Dunsmore, Patrick Huber, and Jackson Baker all put in solid second half efforts to keep Hill off the scoreboard. Lake George took eight shots at goal and Maple Hill had six shots. The Wildcats led in corner kicks, 4-2.

Titans repeat as Section IX champions By Matt Fortunato Columbia-Greene Media

CRARYVILLE — The Taconic Hills Titans won their second consecutive Section IX Class C field hockey title on Wednesday when they beat Onteora, 6-0. The Titans are now 2-for-2 on Section Championships in just their second year in Section IX. This match started off at a fast pace, and the passing and defense played crisp in the first few minutes. The Titans scored their first goal of the game with 27:49 on the clock, off of a penalty corner, when Abigail Tkacy knocked it in thanks to an assist by Delana Bonci. Each team’s defense did a great job of disrupting passing lanes and taking advantage of misplays. A few minutes later, a scramble for the ball in front of the cage was cleaned up by Tkacy, who seized the opportunity and scored her second

HUDSON — Ryan Parshall always knew that one day he’d be the head coach of a college basketball team. He just never dreamed it would happen at the age of 24. Parshall became the youngest head coach in the nation when he was hired to lead the Columbia-Greene Community college men’s basketball team this past August.

“It is kind of wild to think about that,” Parshall said. “My whole life has revolved around basketball, always basketball. Even when I was 12-13 years old, all I wanted to do was play basketball, watch basketball. “It’s always been a dream of mine to be a head basketball coach. It’s kind of surreal to think right now I’m the youngest head coach in the country. It’s very rare to have someone start their See COACH B6

Underachievers no more, the Nationals finish the fight Tyler Kepner The New York Times News Service

HOUSTON — Late Tuesday night, after the Washington Nationals had forced the 40th winner-take-all game in World Series history, reliever Sean Doolittle considered their journey. The first 50 games of their season had been a sinkhole, with 31 losses and untold angst for a team synonymous with letdown. They rallied to make the playoffs, trailing in every elimination game but continuing to fulfill their official team motto: Stay in the fight. You could knock them down, as the Houston Astros did over three nights last weekend at Nationals Park. But you could not finish off these Nationals. “It just feels like it’s the most 2019 Nats thing for this to come down to Game 7 of the World Series,” Doolittle said. “We’re not surprised. We know what’s at stake, and we’re going to be ready.” At stake was the first World Series title in the nation’s capital in 95 years. That was so long ago that two franchises have since left Washington — one for Minnesota, the other for Texas — and the city was without baseball entirely for 33 years. The drought ended in 2005 when Major League Baseball moved the orphaned Montreal Expos to town. It took first-round knockouts in four different seasons before the Nationals advanced in the playoffs, proof that nothing happens in Washington without epic struggle and strife. So, yes, it was fitting that this franchise’s first World Series would go the distance — and also, perhaps, that it would take an uncharted path not only in the annals of baseball but also of the NBA and the NHL; for the first time ever — in any of those leagues — the road team won every game of a best-of-seven series. Leave it to the Nationals to endure such a struggle and stand triumphant at the end. They edged the Astros, 6-2, in Game 7 on Wednesday at Minute Maid Park and forged yet another comeback to do it. The Nationals played five elimination games this postseason, overcoming a deficit in every one. This time, they entered the top of the seventh inning with one hit and no runs against Astros starter Zack Greinke, a pitcher who might be headed for the Hall of Fame. They got a homer from Anthony Rendon with one out,

then a walk by Juan Soto to chase Greinke from the game. Will Harris came in to pitch, and veteran Howie Kendrick drove Harris’ best pitch — a cutter, down and away — off the right field foul pole for a go-ahead homer. Kendrick had already earned a spot in Nationals’ lore with his tiebreaking grand slam in the division series clincher at Dodger Stadium. In the next round, a sweep against the St. Louis Cardinals, he was named the series’ Most Valuable Player. At 36, Kendrick symbolizes the team’s investment in veterans — its roster is the oldest in the majors by average age — and thrived in a part-time role; his .344 average was the best in the majors for players with at least 300 at-bats. His back story nearly mirrors his team’s: Kendrick reached the majors in 2006 and had taken seven trips to the postseason before this October, never making it to the World Series. When he did, after the Cardinals series, he joined Ryan Zimmerman — a career National, the team’s first-ever draft pick after moving to Washington — at a news conference and reflected on their rocky itinerary. “You’ve got to earn it, man,” Kendrick said. “All the things in the past, all the failures, and

losing in the first round — because I’ve been there, too, just like him. It just makes it sweet because, as we’re getting older, the game keeps getting younger. But to see a team like us continue to grind — and I think the mixture of people that we do have is what makes us so good. The chemistry that we do have, we understand each other. I feel like being around this long, I wouldn’t change anything about the past.” The Nationals might, of course. Who wouldn’t want another ring or two, if only to validate the consistent success general manager Mike Rizzo and his staff have generated since the team’s first division title in 2012? It was with this roster, though, that Rizzo finally found the right headliners: a seasoned superstar in Rendon, a rising sensation in Soto, and three aces — Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin. Scherzer started the first and last games of the World Series, missing his Game 5 assignment with intense neck spasms Sunday. He could not even get himself dressed, he said, and wore a neck brace for the flight to Houston. But after a cortisone shot and a day of rest, Scherzer was prowling the Nationals’ bullpen in Game 6 on Tuesday. “So I’m assuming you’ll see vintage Mad Max out there,”

Zimmerman said before Game 7, “huffing and puffing and doing what he does.” What Scherzer does, more often than anyone else in the 2010s, is strike hitters out. But the Astros’ hitters had the fewest strikeouts in the majors this season, making contact consistently without sacrificing power. Even with seven days off from pitching, Scherzer could not get much past them Wednesday. The Astros did not strike out until the fourth, and Scherzer generated just 11 swings-and-misses among his 103 pitches. He lasted just five innings, walking four and striking out three. It was his first start in more than seven years with more walks than strikeouts. Even so, Scherzer allowed only two runs. Strasburg had already won Games 2 and 6, working into the ninth inning Tuesday, and so it fell to Corbin to follow Scherzer and stifle the Astros, fulfilling the $140 million contract he signed as a free agent last winter. The Nationals outbid the Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies for Corbin in free agency, making a six-year commitment. It was risky, perhaps, but worth it for the glory of Game 7 — the greatest victory in the history of a luckless franchise in a city that had waited nearly a century for a night like this.

This time, the Astros led 2-0 entering the seventh inning behind Zack Greinke who had allowed just one single at that point. Repeat: one single. But the Nationals seemed similarly moribund when they trailed the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 and the Dodgers 3-1 in the eighth inning of elimination games. And look who’s now standing as champs. Suddenly, it was time for Rendon to do a reprise of his entire late-inning clutch hitting masterwork, unequaled in postseason history. To that point, he had come to bat seven times in the Nats’ five elimination games in the seventh inning or later. In what is several orders of magnitude beyond normal baseball possibility, Rendon produced in those situations a walk, a double, a home run, a double, a home run, a double and, this time in Game 7, another home run, into the seats in left field. After more than two hours of silence, the Nats finally made a noise - and a loud one. Next, Soto walked, and Greinke was removed from the game. Don’t ask why, after just 80 pitches, a former Cy Young award winner with a 2.98 ERA this season would get the hook. But the Astros think they are smart - very, very smart - and that they have the mathematically perfect player for every situation and matchup. Somewhere amid their numbers and graphs, their conclusion was: Bring in Will Harris to neutralize Kendrick. After a vicious swing and miss at a firstpitch curveball, Kendrick did what smart hitters do: He cut down on his swing and looked at the opposite field. When he got a perfectly placed fastball on the low-outside corner

HOUSTON — Pay attention to the Washington Nationals’ victory parade on Saturday. Make sure those who ride in those cars and sit on that stage appear young and hearty. Because if instead Anthony Rendon, Howie Kendrick, Juan Soto, Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg and 20 others appear to be elderly men, we’ll know they truly sold their souls to pull off this once-in-a-century triumph. Yes, they did it again. The unbelievable, late-game-dancing, break-their-foes-hearts Nationals did it again. Washington has a World Series champion baseball team for the first time in 95 years after a 6-2 Game 7 win over the utterly stunned, disbelieving 107-win Houston Astros here Wednesday night, and the only explanations seem to be baseball miracles or deals with the devil. This time, as if to show that the deeds of these Nats truly are once-per-century stuff, the game-transforming blow was a two-run home run sliced off the right field foul pole by Kendrick, the same 36-year-old gentleman whose grand slam extinguished the season of the 106-win Los Angeles Dodgers in the division round two weeks ago. For the fifth time in an elimination game in this postseason, the Nats came from behind, thundering into the lead with home runs. No team has ever done such a thing. But then no team has had Rendon, Soto and Kendrick - every one of them touched with baseball magic - batting third through fifth in its order. All three were at it again in Game

- an ideal pitcher’s pitch - he slapped it high down the right field line. In a few seconds of mounting disbelief, the Houston crowd felt like it was seeing ghouls and horrors a day early. Surely, Kendrick’s humble effort would go foul - or even be short of the fence. But Minute Maid Park is just 315 feet to the right-field foul pole, one of the shortest possible homers in Major League Baseball - and with a low wall, too. In Nationals Park, Kendrick’s ball might have reached the middle of the warning track. But here, in devastated Houston, it hit the foul pole six feet above the top of the wall. Howie Do It had done it again. So had the Nats. This game had a hidden fulcrum, an inspiring player who made what happened in the final three innings possible: Scherzer. Heroes can’t help themselves. They hear the call to battle and they charge toward the sounds of danger. Sometimes, if that admired hero is a general, no one can tell him whether his ideas about the best plan of action are wise or simply brave. Sometimes, only the field of battle gives the true answer. And you can’t know until you get there. For more than three days, Scherzer has been 6-foot-3-inches 215 pounds of adrenaline in spikes, pure kinetic energy barely contained in a Washington Nationals uniform. After feeling angry, disappointed and perhaps even mortified Sunday when he could not pitch in Game 5 of the World Series because of back and neck spasms, he made it clear that, with the help of a cortisone shot in his neck that day, he planned to pitch a Game 7, if there was one. It was not a point to be discussed.

Jamal Adams’ hard feelings will result in eventual Jet departure Bob Glauber Newsday

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — It’s over. After nearly three seasons as the face of the Jets’ franchise, after giving maximum emotional and physical effort to the team that drafted him sixth overall in 2017, and after seeing that team entertain trade discussions about him over the previous two days, Jamal Adams’ time in New York will prematurely come to an end. It’s a matter of when, not if. Despite general manager Joe Douglas’ contention on Tuesday that he was simply being responsible by taking calls from teams inquiring about Adams, the Pro Bowl safety maintained a day later that he was indeed being shopped and that he was hurt that the team would even entertain offers. Especially after Adams felt assured after a meeting last week with Douglas and coach Adam Gase that the Jets considered him a major piece of the team in the years to come. “The Rams don’t take calls on Aaron Donald,” Adams told reporters after practice BRAD PENNER/USA TODAY Wednesday. “The Patriots don’t take calls on New York Jets safety Jamal Adams (33) celebrates during the second quarter against the Dallas Tom Brady. That’s where I hold myself, in that Cowboys at MetLife Stadium. regard.” Adams believes the Jets should have taken But the hurt he expressed to reporters after Adams may put himself on a level with Brady a similar approach with him in the run-up to and Donald, but that’s simply not the case. admitting it was too soon to talk to Douglas or Tuesday’s 4 p.m. trade deadline. And while he Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time, Gase made it clear that this is no short-term isinsists that he remains happy to be a Jet “right and Donald is a future Hall of Fame defensive sue. The problem will linger until the day that now,” he spoke in the present tense and not lineman who won back-to-back NFL Defensive Douglas trades Adams, because it is difficult to the future. When asked if he felt there was still Player of the Year awards. imagine any other scenario at this point. a long-term future in New York, Adams replied, They are generational players. Perhaps cooler heads will prevail and Adams, “I don’t know.” Adams is a terrific safety, no doubt, but he’s a highly emotional player who wears his heart We’ve seen this movie before. simply not an impact player like the two he on his sleeve, will be convinced by Douglas and We’ve seen it with Odell Beckham Jr. And mentioned. He’s a Pro Bowl-caliber safety on Gase that they do consider him an indispensJeremy Shockey. And Keyshawn Johnson. And a 1-6 team who has won 10 games in his career able — if not untouchable — player moving forso many other players who held themselves in with the Jets. The poor record, of course, isn’t ward. A ton of money in a new contract offer high regard — higher than they deserved, in all his fault. In fact, he is part of the solution, not would get the job done, but Adams still has two part of the problem. years remaining on his rookie deal. many cases.

Given Douglas’ willingness to at least listen to offers for Adams, it stands to reason that he’ll do the same once the trading period resumes in the offseason. And if Adams clearly doesn’t want to be here — which seems to be the case once the season ends — then Douglas will have no alternative except to deal him. Better to get something of value for Adams and use the draft-choice compensation to find an adequate replacement. Adams admitted that he would have been happy to be dealt to the Cowboys, the team he grew up rooting for while being raised in Texas. Perhaps Dallas will be the team to make the best offer down the road. Or perhaps someone else will pony up enough draft picks to make a deal. Douglas was absolutely right for taking calls on Adams, as well as Le’Veon Bell and Robby Anderson. You listen to what a team is willing to offer, and you decide if it’s worth it to move them. Especially when you’ve got a 1-6 team going nowhere. Douglas said he didn’t believe any of the deals were commensurate with the talent level of the players, so he stood pat. Bell and Anderson were delighted they remained with the team and indicated as much on social media. Adams took to Twitter immediately after Douglas’ media briefing on Tuesday and said the GM went behind his back and shopped him. He did not back off that stance Wednesday, the surest indication that he remains indignant that the Jets would even consider trading him. It’s difficult to envision a scenario where Adams stays with the Jets beyond this season, and a divorce feels likely. A safety spurned is not coming back. Sorry, Adams is no Tom Brady. He’s no Aaron Donald, either.

Suarez making history and the reason Latinos head to NASCAR races David Wilson Miami Herald

MIAMI — When Daniel Suarez was young, he never could have thought about driving in NASCAR. Racing had its fans in his home of Monterrey, Mexico, but mostly it was for more of the internationally popular variants of the sport, like IndyCar or Formula One. He didn’t really know anything about NASCAR until he was 15 or 16, about four or five years after he first began kart racing at 11. “NASCAR was getting stronger and stronger in Mexico, and I got opportunities to race ovals,” Suarez said Monday. “I started racing ovals in Mexico and then eventually NASCAR Mexico, and then eventually I got the opportunity to move to

the U.S.” A decade has passed since he first started paying attention to NASCAR, and his unique origins have made Suarez into a history-making driver in the sport. He won the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2016, becoming the first Hispanic driver to win a NASCAR series title. The year before, he became the first Mexican driver to win the Xfinity Series’ Rookie of the Year award. He’s now a staple on the NASCAR Cup series and finished just four points out of a playoff spot this season, which concludes next month with the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Miami. Even though he won’t be racing for a championship in the final three weekends of the season, these final races are

important to him for another reason. At the AAA Texas 500 on Sunday, Suarez expects about 1,000 Latino fans to be in attendance to root for Suarez in Fort Worth, Texas, as part of “Daniel’s Amigos,” an initiative started to build fan interest in the Latin-American community. “It’s really cool to see a lot of support from a lot of people,” said Suarez, who drives the No. 41 Walmart Family Mobile Ford Mustang for Stewart-Hass Racing, “and to make them fans of the sport is something very special.” The idea for Daniel’s Amigos has been brewing since Suarez started racing in NASCAR but finally went into place this year, with support from NASCAR and Coca-Cola. In March, the first meetup happened in Fontana,

NFL NOTEBOOK:

Testy Mayfield bolts news conference Field Level Media

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield stormed out of his news conference on Wednesday after getting testy with a local reporter. Tony Grossi, a reporter for 850 ESPN in Cleveland, asked Mayfield about the team’s urgency during the final drive of the first half Sunday in a 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots. With 2:19 left in the first half, down 17-7, the Browns regained possession at their 16-yard line. With 32 seconds left at their 39, Mayfield was sacked for a loss of 10 yards. A false-start penalty moved the Browns back even further before the Browns elected to run down the clock. After a series of questions and answers, Grossi asked if Mayfield was “happy with that drive?” Replied Mayfield: “No, we didn’t score points. That’s the dumbest question you could ask. What? Jesus, Tony.” He then abruptly ended his media session. –Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was officially limited again at practice as he continues to work back from a dislocated right kneecap sustained Oct. 17 in Denver. Coach Andy Reid said before practice Mahomes would “do a little more” than he did during last week’s practices, and the quarterback appeared to be moving more freely. During the portion of practice open to the media, Mahomes worked in as the second quarterback behind Matt Moore. Meanwhile, defensive tackle

Chris Jones (groin) returned to a limited practice after missing the past three games. –Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams failed his physical due to discomfort when putting on his helmet. Coach Bill Callahan said after practice that Williams wasn’t present because of the failed physical. Williams had surgery in the offseason to remove a cyst from his head. The seven-time Pro Bowl selection does not intend to play this season, NBC Washington reported, despite reporting to the team Tuesday. –Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith appears on track to play on Sunday for the first time since getting injured in the season opener. Smith sprained the MCL in his knee after just six snaps into Week 1 in Miami and has been out since. He practiced on a limited basis Wednesday. –While Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James is eligible to return from injured reserve this week, he is not yet ready to practice and doesn’t appear close to a return. James had surgery to address a stress fracture in his right foot on Aug. 22 and was given a timetable of about three months. He was placed on injured reserve before Week 1, ruling him out for at least eight weeks. –Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green said he wants the team to commit to him for many years, not just one. Green, who is in the final season of a four-year, $60 million contract, is working his way back from an ankle injury

sustained at the end of July. –Bengals starting quarterback Andy Dalton said that he wished he’d heard the news that he was being benched earlier. The Bengals (0-8) announced just hours before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET trade deadline that they were turning to rookie Ryan Finley. “I wish they would have, at least if he (coach Zac Taylor) was thinking about it, at least try to let me see if I could end up somewhere or at least see if there was interest in possibly getting traded,” Dalton said, according to ESPN. –The Seattle Seahawks placed starting safety Tedric Thompson on injured reserve but are close to getting back another injured player. Tight end Ed Dickson has been designated to return off IR and is eligible to start practicing without counting against the 53-man roster limit. Dickson had been sidelined following knee surgery. –Defensive back Kamrin Moore is seeking reinstatement by the NFL now that he has been cleared of domestic violence charges, his agent said in a statement. Moore, 23, formerly with the New York Giants, was arrested July 11 in Linden, N.J., and charged with third-degree aggravated assault. –Veteran guard Richie Incognito might be Oakland’s starting center against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, Raiders coach Jon Gruden said. The Raiders also signed free agent center Erik Magnuson.

California. Suarez brought out more than 500 Latino fans to watch the Auto Club 400. In September, he held another meet-up at the South Point 400 and brought out hundreds more fans in Las Vegas, Nevada. The race Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway will be the biggest moment yet for his initiative. Suarez is building a career of firsts, and he hopes it won’t also be a career of lasts in a sport, which has long struggled to attract a diverse audience but has made major strides this

century. The pitch NASCAR often makes to potential fans is just a plea to come to a race in person because the in-person experience is so different than watching on TV. It’s the central idea of Daniel’s Amigos, who come out and turn their own section of the grandstand into a soccerstyle cheering section. As Year 1 nears its end, Suarez considers it a “100 percent” success. “For years, I had an idea of trying to bring Latinos to the racetrack and put everything

together — let’s say 100 fans together — to get them to the racetrack, to give them a unique experience, to have a Q&A with them, to give them something cool, something special and that’s exactly what I was able to do,” Suarez said. “The most amazing part is that everything is growing, so I’m very, very proud to be part of this, and I feel like we’re moving the needle. We have many different entry points that we are working on to try to make things better.”

first. Neither team could really hold possession for long or dribble down the field without the ball being taken away or a pass being blocked. As they played on, Taconic Hills seemed to find their groove and pick up the pace. Tanner Van Alstyne and Sage Pulver each scored about three minutes apart from one another, thanks to back-toback assists by Kirsten Shumsky. This doubled the Titans’ lead to 4-0 with 13:04 left, and they were not done yet. Shumsky added a pair of goals to her pair of assists to round out an unbelievable performance by the defensive captain from Taconic Hills. Her first goal was assisted by Amelia Canetto and the second by Delana Bonci. After the Titans’ sixth goal of the game, there was only 1:20 on the clock to run down in this Section IX Championship as they celebrated their 2nd title in a row. Delana Bonci commented on the season’s achievements thus far. “I’d have to say that our intensity grew throughout the season, and that our passing game developed insanely to come to sectionals, to keep carrying it, and the right mindset brought us here.” Amelia Canetto felt that team chemistry was a major contributing factor as well. “I think as the season went on and progressed we got closer as teammates and started

playing a lot better.” Kirsten Shumsky echoed that sentiment as well. “I think our team has really worked well, we’ve come together as a family, and we are hard workers, and we never give up.” More specifically, Coach Angela Webster was very proud of how her team continued to take advantage of scoring opportunities. “I think this year our corners have just been well-timed, and

have been absolutely beautiful, when you have great goals like our last three. And I think it shows how hard they’ve been working, and how much focus they’ve had all season, and it came together very nicely. “It was amazing to see many TH teachers and students filling the stands to cheer us on. Even more amazing for our program to have two Class C Sectional titles in the 2 years that we have been part of Section IX.

After playing Onteora 2-1 in the regular season, we knew we had to come out strong. Scoring two goals in the first 7 minutes definitely helped calm our nerves. In the second half, we moved the ball a lot faster, setting up a sequence of passes that led to a few beautiful goals.” Taconic Hills (14-3) advances to regional play and will take on the Section I champion on November 9 at Lakeland High School.

ahead. “Biggest challenge will be dealing with the losses,” he said. “How many will there be? I don’t know. Might not be many, but there is going to be some. How do I handle it? How do the players handle it? How do we handle it together? That’s going to be the biggest challenge, making sure that through the hardships we’re still able to stay close together.” Parshall says now that he and the players have become better acquainted, things are running smoothly. “We have a great bunch of guys here, the camaraderie is great,” Parshall said. “These guys make it fun every day. I’m not going to lie, first week was difficult, new coach, young coach. “We have some guys returning, we have some new guys I brought in from the local area and a guy I brought in from North Carolina.

Bryce Baker (6-4) of Red Hook could also be joining the team after getting medical clearance. “I really have high hopes for this team. I want to win 20-plus games. I’m not sure when the last time that happened here, but that’s my goal. We’re in a great conference. We have Herkimer, we have Hudson Valley, Mohawk Valley, a bunch of really good schools that have been good for awhile. Columbia-Greene has had it’s ups and downs, but I expect a lot from these guys. We brought in some talent and I’m excited, the players are excited.” Parshall has named a starting five of Ukoh, Thomas, McIntosh, Rodgers and Harper for the opener, but expects to give playing time to everyone on the roster.

“I tell them every day they have to buy in to their roles,” Parshall said. “Only five guys can start, so if you don’t start, be a star in your role. “Some kids aren’t going to get a lot of minutes right now, but next year they will, so they have to learn from the older guys in practice that know what to do, that bought in, that did their time. And everybody is doing their part.” The Twins defeated Albany College of Pharmacy, 79-48, in a scrimmage this past weekend and gave a glimpse of what kind of style they will utilize under Parshall. “We pressed the entire scrimmage against Albany Pharmacy, I didn’t let off,” Parshall said. “We went 1-2-1-1 press, and with smaller teams you have to press, so we’re going to press every single game and we’ll either fall back into a man or 3-2 zone. “Really, we’re a run and gun team, a lot of fast break points, we have some good athletes. For us, it’s about running as fast as we can, but if we meet our match, a team that can run just as quick as us, then we’ll slow it down. But I’ve told them we’re going to kick it as high as we can.” Parshall will be assisted by his brother Brandon and Leo Dolan.

Concern for mom’s health limits grandson’s visits Dear Abby, I work and have a family and live five hours from where I grew up. My mom isn’t in the best health and neither is her husband. While I try to visit as often as I can, she always DEAR ABBY wants me to visit more often, which I understand. The problem is, she keeps asking us to leave our 5-yearold son with her for long weekends or to spend a week with her and her husband. They are good people, but both have physical limitations. Would I let my son stay with them if one of them was still in good health? Yes. It is hard for me to explain to her my concern that my son would be too much for them to deal with at this point. If she has a series of good days, great. If she doesn’t, we would have a problem, and I’d have to drive back to deal with it. I have tried explaining nicely, and then other times more directly, that it isn’t that I don’t want her to spend time with her grandchildren. I’m tired of the guilt trips she tries to put on me. I’m also tired of her telling my son to “talk to your mom about staying with me for a week.” As a child, I was in my son’s position, and I know how it affected me. I just wanted to see “Sara,” and I thought Mom and Dad were mean for not letting me. I do not want my son to feel that way. He’s a child, not a pawn in a game. Can you help me explain to my mom that my concern is for the safety of everyone involved? Safety First

always well enough to look after him properly if he does, which is why you won’t allow it. It isn’t his fault, it isn’t your fault, and it isn’t Grandma’s. If Grandma could come to visit you occasionally for a few days, it might give her more time with your boy and be good for both of them. Dear Abby, I am a 46-year-old, single gay man. Although I’ve had a few crushes, I have never been deeply in love. I don’t like going out to the bars and, because my town is extremely Catholic, there are only a couple of gay-friendly ones. Is it OK to not be actively looking for love? Everyone I know keeps asking me if I have found someone, and I keep telling them I don’t believe in love. I’m content. I don’t do anything but work, so I always say I never have time. Is there something wrong with being single all your life and not having a significant other? I have my cat to love, as well as my sisters. Does a person have to be with someone if they are content being alone? Yes, I would like to go out, but why does it have to be with a partner?

If you are comfortable flying solo, it is perfectly acceptable to live your life that way. The people who are telling you otherwise may mean well, but you do not have to take it to heart. Live your life the way you want, do not second-guess yourself and don’t allow yourself to be pressured. If you are content, you are doing fine. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Soothing the symptoms of hemorrhoids Any suggestions for hemorrhoids? Hemorrhoids are normal veins located in the lower rectum. They are only a problem when they get dilated. Internal hemorrhoidal veins have no pain fibers and are therefore painless, but external hemorrhoids have lots of pain receptors and TO YOUR can be exquisitely painful in GOOD HEALTH some circumstances, such as when a blood clot forms. At any given time, about 5% of the population has symptomatic hemorrhoids, and they are most often seen in people in their 60s and 70s. Men and women are equally affected. Symptoms of hemorrhoids are most commonly bleeding, itching or pain. Hemorrhoidal veins become dilated, especially if subjected to high pressure, such as pregnancy or straining from constipation. The dilated veins can be easily damaged by a bowel movement and will then bleed. The bleeding is usually painless. Itching can arise due to several causes. The lining of hemorrhoids produces mucus, which can cause irritation and itching of the anus. The area may be hard to clean, and many people are overly vigorous in cleaning and irritate the skin. Pain in a hemorrhoid often means a blood clot,

which may require urgent intervention. Otherwise, the clot gets “organized” and partially reabsorbed within a few days. Treatment of hemorrhoids depends on symptoms. The 40% of people with hemorrhoids with no symptoms need no treatment. Most people with symptomatic hemorrhoids benefit from increasing their intake of fiber (fruits, vegetables, supplements if necessary) and water. This can help reduce constipation and thus relieve the pressure on the hemorrhoids. Many people have written me that a toilet footrest has helped their constipation and straining, though I can’t find studies to support this. Regular exercise is good, but one of the worst cases I ever saw in a young person was an elite marathoner, so don’t overdo it. An over-the-counter stool softener may be necessary despite fiber intake for a few people. OTC hemorrhoid products reduce inflammation and itching, and lubricate the area making stool passage easier. If these self-care treatments don’t work, it’s time to go see your doctor.

Horoscope By Stella Wilder Born today, you can at times be rather secretive, and yet it is not wholly intentional. The truth is that your privacy is quite important to you, and you would prefer to withhold information than to give it, all things considered, and this is purely a product of your personality rather than a conscious choice. You know how to break free of any cocoon of silence you may construct around yourself, and you do so often — but usually only with those who are either very close to you, or those with whom you must interact to get business done. You can also be rather mysterious when it comes to your romantic intentions. While you do indeed fall in love rather quickly — and very hard — you tend to keep those feelings to yourself for quite a while, until you have some inkling that the object of your affections feels similarly about you. Then, of course, you let it all hang out! Also born on this date are: Jenny McCarthy, actress; Lyle Lovett, singer and musician; Robert Foxworth, actor; Stephen Crane, author; Penn Badgley, actor; Anthony Kiedis, singer; Tim Cook, business executive. 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, NOVEMBER 2

Baby Blues what you feel you deserve. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You may be confused by the emotional current running through an otherwise simple and straightforward endeavor. What’s really going on? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — You may be blinded to certain possibilities today because someone has promised something that is too good to be true. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — You can gather your forces and do something quite memorable today, or you can let the day pass without doing much at all. The choice is yours. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Potential is high, and your ability to see what lies before you is perhaps unequaled. You’ll have the advantage all day long. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — What you need is just out of reach. Don’t risk harming yourself by overstepping or overreaching; be patient, and the distance will be closed. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You may not be in control of your own destiny today; success or failure has little to do with you directly, but you must still put in a good effort. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You’ll benefit from doing the same thing over and over today until you get it just right. You learn more than usual from such repetition. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You can make a smart investment today, but you mustn’t expect to score any measurable returns right away. Let things run their course. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You may feel that you’ve been the victim of a miscarriage of justice — but it’s not over yet! Take your case to one who can turn this around. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — You may be resigned to what you think is going to happen, but there’s no reason not to engage yourself fully and work toward a reversal of sorts.
